One of the criteria to measure the success of a martial arts action movie is to see whether the martial arts action in the film is exciting, so when the martial arts action design of this film is perfected, it means that more than half of the work is completed.

In the past few days, Wang Xiaohu, Yuan Heping, Yuan Biao, Yuan Hua and others have been busy designing martial arts movements in abandoned factories, and everyone has shown extraordinary enthusiasm, often rehearsing more than five or six times for a scene, until the action no longer looks hard and gives people in one go.

In their spare time, everyone sits together to discuss the script, figure out the script and ponder the acting skills, who makes everyone a newcomer, if the acting skills are not proficient, you have to hone it often, Zhao Yazhi will come over from time to time in the past two days to study the script with everyone, Wang Xiaohu is a little distressed every time she sees her hard work, let her not work so hard.

Zhao Yazhi always smiled and said that she could persevere, after all, everyone was working hard, and if the filming progress was delayed because of herself, she would always feel uneasy in her heart.

It is worth mentioning that Stephen Chow, don't look at his small size, but the enthusiasm and seriousness he showed surprised Wang Xiaohu, before this Wang Xiaohu had told him many times: "Xingzai, your role is very important, you need to chew more scripts, and fully show the energy of eager to learn kung fu." ”

Maybe it was after Wang Xiaohu's devilish stimulation, Stephen Chow was in awe of him from the bottom of his heart, so he recited the script even harder, in fact, he didn't have many lines, just a few rivalry scenes with Yuan Biao, but he recited the few pitiful lines very seriously and seriously, and cherished this rare opportunity very much.

"Ah Hu, do you count this as child labor?" Yuan Biao watched Stephen Chow hide in the corner of the factory and read the script obediently, and he couldn't bear to say.

"Hehe, the child should be like this, but you!" Wang Xiaohu sighed and said: "If you show fifty percent of Xingzai's seriousness and seriousness, you won't even be able to remember the script." ”

Yuan Biao was ridiculed, scratched his hair a little embarrassed and said, "How can you say so unbearable." It's all because you made the dialogue so long, and made me look in the mirror to find a feeling, every time I looked down at the script, I forgot my expression, and when I looked up in the mirror, I forgot the script. ”

"Yo, Ah Biao, you still count me up, or else, I think Yuanhua seems to like Abang's role very much, and besides, he is also handsome, you can change it."

"Don't, don't!" Yuan Biao smiled and said, "Ah Hu, don't be angry, I'll go and recite the script." ”

After Yuan Biao finished speaking, he picked up the script and ran quickly to the factory to recite the script, and his expression became really serious.

"Hey, this guy." Wang Xiaohu smiled bitterly and shook his head, then picked up the script and gnawed on his own role, we are also newcomers, we also need to figure out our acting skills.

In the evening, Zhang Yuan rushed to the factory sweating profusely, and at the same time brought the props required by Wang Xiaohu, he put the props box on the ground, regardless of wiping sweat and reported to Wang Xiaohu: "The chain axe props you want have been brought, a total of four styles have been made, you first see if it meets the requirements, if you are not satisfied, I will find someone to customize." ”

Wang Xiaohu put down the script and took the chain axe handed over by Zhang Yuan, in all fairness, these four axes are really good, silver shining, particularly sharp, if you don't look closely, you really can't tell the real from the fake. "The effect is good, but I don't know if the chain is strong or not."

After Wang Xiaohu finished speaking, he came to the open place with a chain axe, and played according to the actions rehearsed earlier, and saw pieces of silver light surrounding him, and the axe was mixed with the sound of whirring wind, which was very visually shocking.

Since "One-armed Knife", many directors in Hong Kong martial arts movies seem to have walked into a dead end, that is, each film must design a strange-shaped weapon, and then design the action around the style of this weapon, often a weapon can become a big selling point of the film, such as the iron lock broken knife in Wang Yu's hand, and the nunchucks in Bruce Lee's hand, which can increase the highlights of the film and indirectly attract the audience's attention.

"That's so handsome!" Stephen Chow was attracted by the movement here, looking at Wang Xiaohu, who was playing with a chain axe in the field, with a hot look in his eyes, and he hated that the person who couldn't perform in his little brain was himself.

"Obediently, are you going to let me fight like this? I can't do it. Yuan Renxiang, who played the boss of the Axe Gang, pouted and said with envy.

Yuan Heping said on the side: "Ah Ren, what are you worried about, didn't it be said in the script, this weapon has limited lethality in a narrow factory, not to mention that you just danced a few times to the camera, what really surprised the audience was that the chain axe exerted its lethality in Tang Shan's hands." ”

"Well, that's right, but Ah Hu is really imposing!" Yuan Renxiang nodded and said.

Yuan Heping smiled and patted his younger brother on the shoulder and said, "Then don't you need to say, Ah Hu is the number one martial arts instructor in Hong Kong, if you don't have some real kung fu under your hands, I'm afraid it will be difficult to convince the public." ”

In the gap between the two brothers' words, Wang Xiaohu had already withdrawn the chain axe, just now it was to test the connection degree of the chain axe, but he didn't expect to play it and did a few difficult actions, which made him addicted. "Brother Ren, come and try your hand."

Yuan Renxiang took the axe and danced a few times in the field, although it was basically completed in accordance with the rehearsal movements, but it was never as smooth and imposing as Wang Xiaohu's movements, and he couldn't help but shake his head a little depressedly and said, "Ah Hu, I can't play this thing." ”

"Brother Ren, you fought well just now, and you usually practice a few more times, but you have to pay attention when you really shoot, so as not to injure yourself by mistake." Wang Xiaohu encouraged.

This is Wang Xiaohu's first self-written, directed, and self-acted work, so he is very demanding, and he did not announce the opening ceremony until everyone can master the action proficiently and show the lines with the script.

You must know that now movie shooting is all about shooting and designing, if it is an old partner, it can also reduce the run-in time, if the actors are not familiar with the film, the filming process must be relatively long, and when everyone is finally familiar, the film is basically finished, so unless the actors with excellent acting skills and skills, the martial arts actions filmed are slightly unsatisfactory.

Yuan Heping initially said that he didn't understand, but after a few days, he gradually realized the real beauty of rehearsals before the start: first of all, the actors are already very familiar with each other after a few days of running-in, and they also know each other's roles and martial arts styles, and secondly, rehearsals seem to be a waste of time and money, but when the filming is really started, these sufficient preparations can show amazing efficiency.
