In the Hong Kong film industry in the 70s, the Dragon and Tiger Warrior was the kind of job with the most desperate and low income, and at that time they were all iron-clad starring, flowing Dragon and Tiger Warriors, and many Dragon and Tiger Warriors had to rush to several films in a day to survive.

Dragon and Tiger martial artists are also divided into three grades: large, medium and small, such as the current Wang Xiaohu and Yuan Biao are small martial artists, with a salary of five Hong Kong dollars, which belongs to the lowest income class.

Like Yuan Lou, Yuan Hua and others have spent more time on the set, and they also know how to use the advantages of their bodies to accumulate some acting experience, coupled with Sammo Hung's help, they have been upgraded to Chinese martial arts, with a salary of about 60 Hong Kong dollars, of course, after each salary, one third of the bribe martial arts instructor, the other third is taken out to share with the brothers, and the third is used to eat, drink and have fun.

At this time, they can recruit a group of little brothers to work on major studios, and if they are lucky, they can also get some bribes from the middle and small martial arts.

In the Hong Kong film and television industry, above the Dragon and Tiger martial artist is the deputy martial arts instructor and martial arts instructor.

The martial arts instructor in a film has a very high status, often in addition to the director, he has the greatest right to speak, "The Golden Sword of Death" is Sammo Hung after joining Golden Harvest The first film shot as a martial arts instructor, so he is particularly serious and strict, and the selected dragon and tiger martial artists are also familiar with the roots.

Most of the scenes in "The Golden Sword of Death" have been filmed, and what we want to shoot today is the biggest scene in the whole film: Nangong Zheng, Nangong Lin, and Yan Shijie went to the gate of Geshibao Mountain and questioned Tu Tianbiao, the owner of Geshibao, and then after a few words of ink on both sides, Tu Tianbiao, the owner of the castle, waved his hand, and his minions rushed up to fight with Nangong Zheng and others, and then were killed by Nangong Zheng and others.

The plot is so simple, and the martial arts action designed by Sammo Hung also made director Huang Feng very satisfied, but there were still some problems after the film officially started filming.

The weapon used by actor Han Ruyun, who plays Nangong Lin, is a long whip, and for the soft weapon of the long whip, Sammo Hung designed two to three actions, that is, to let Han Ruyun throw the long whip around the neck of a minion, and then throw it diagonally upwards to highlight the "strange" color of the long whip in the fight.

The problem lies in the Dragon and Tiger Martial Master who was wrapped around his neck, when Huang Feng shouted: Aciton, Han Ruyun's long whip was thrown out, and there may have been some mistakes in the first blow that did not succeed in rolling his neck, but slapped him in the face, so he made a second blow, or a mistake, and finally succeeded in rolling his neck, and when the guys behind the scenes over there were also preparing Lavia (tightrope), this Dragon and Tiger Martial Master quit.

"Wait! The bundle was so tight that I couldn't breathe! The Dragon and Tiger Martial Master's face was full of "whip marks", and it was difficult to breathe because he was tied to his throat with a long whip, so he stopped on the spot.

Sammo Hung jumped to his feet and was furious on the spot, pointing to the face of the dragon and tiger martial artist and complaining for a while: "If you hold on, it's just three shots!" ”

Sammo Hung said that the three shots are one of the commonly used techniques in Hong Kong film fight editing, that is, the "three-shot" method, which is used in this action, which is divided into two three-shots to complete.

The first three shots are a close-up of Han Ruyun throwing the long whip, then the long whip wrapping around the neck of the Dragon and Tiger Martial Artist, here is a close-up, mainly highlighting the accuracy of the long whip user's technique, and then the Dragon and Tiger Martial Master is thrown into the air.

The second three-shot is when the Dragon Tiger Warrior begins to be tied up (close-up), and the person in charge of Lavia behind the scenes begins to pull the Dragon Tiger Warrior into the air (close-up), and then the Dragon Tiger Warrior falls to the ground, stretches out his feet and clenches his fists and dies in pain (close-up).

On the one hand, the three-shot editing method of "start-out-result" "stitches" the traces of camera switching, forming a complete and smooth illusion of action, and on the other hand, it enriches the visual performance of the action from multiple angles, and at the same time compresses the action, removes the lens that may cause slow and sluggishness, accelerates the rhythm of the action, gives the audience a strong visual impact, and the rhythm is easy to form sudden changes and produce special effects.

"Three shots? Lao Tzu has been beaten dozens of times by her, anyway, I won't shoot! It's a waste of people! The dragon and tiger warrior threw the long whip around his neck on the ground, and then removed the Wei Ya behind his waist, and immediately left after saying this.

"You, you, you!" Sammo Hung can't help it, who let Han Ruyun not be from martial arts training, he hit the target after dozens of throws, and the scars on the faces of other martial artists are evidence.

If the leading actor suddenly resigns, this film will definitely not be filmed, but a dragon and tiger martial artist strikes, and there are other dragon and tiger martial artists, isn't it, so Sammo Hung glanced back and forth among the dragon and tiger martial artists, hoping that someone would take the initiative to stand up and complete this action.

All the dragon and tiger martial artists saw it really brightly just now, and they really didn't dare to compliment Han Ruyun's methods, and at this time, no one was willing to stand up and suffer the "humiliation" of dozens of long whips.

"Hmm, can I try it?" Wang Xiaohu saw that everyone was unwilling to play this kind of scene, so he immediately raised his hand and stood up.

Yuan Biao next to him suddenly pulled his clothes and whispered: "Ah Hu, are you funny in your brain, if your face is injured, it is very shameless, how can you go out to take care of your sister at night when you get your salary?" ”

Wang Xiaohu was almost not dizzy by Yuan Biao's words, the reason why these people are reluctant is that they are afraid of "disfigurement" and delaying the plan to pick up girls, but when I think about it, the job of a dragon and tiger martial artist is a desperate job, and he is under high-intensity work pressure on the set every day, sometimes even seriously injured, no one knows what tomorrow will be like, and in this environment, many people will not save money, but have the habit of drinking and getting drunk today.

Wang Xiaohu shook his head and said with a smile: "It's okay, I haven't thought about my sister yet." ”

When Wang Xiaohu walked out of the crowd, he could vaguely hear voices such as "fool" and "stupid" behind him, he didn't think much about these comments, Lao Tzu even jumped over a twenty-story building, and was beaten a few times by a woman with a long whip.

"Ha, Ah Hu, I really didn't misunderstand you, very good, for the sake of you taking the initiative to solve problems for me, I will give you an extra salary of twenty yuan today!" Sammo Hung is not a stingy person, seeing his brother standing up to help him at such a time, he naturally will not treat Wang Xiaohu badly.

When the dragon and tiger martial artists heard this, they almost didn't vomit blood, and gritted their teeth in their hearts with hatred, mother, I knew that there would be an extra twenty yuan of salary, so we also took the initiative to stand up, didn't we?
