Chapter 638. Copy the classics
readx;
The round table fight scene originally appeared in the movie "Ip Man 2", but in Chen Xiaotang's opinion, it is best to integrate the essence of the two dramas together, Paisa and a magnificent masterpiece that lasts for more than an hour, which can also highlight the spirit of the grandmaster of the "Ip Man" itself.

In other words, the Ip Man series will be integrated into a drama and filmed into a big production.
Therefore, Chen Xiaotang took out the more classic parts of the Ip Man series and compiled them into a script, and this "round table fight" is the most important thing in the play.
Before that, the action design of this scene should be arranged.
If Chen Xiaotang remembers it well, the martial arts finger of the play "Ip Man" in his previous life was Brother Hung Jinbao himself, but now it is rare for Brother Hong to find time to make a cameo appearance in this play, and then let him be a martial arts instructor, it will be really difficult for him, after all, he has little time, so the actual martial artist of this play is Liu Xingbo, the deceased of Chen Xiaotang's teacher and friend.
Now Liu Xingbo has officially terminated the contract from TVB and joined the Magic Shadow Entertainment Company, for a martial arts talent like him, even if he doesn't miss the old love, Chen Xiaotang will not treat him badly; Therefore, in less than two years, Liu Xingbo has turned from a low-income dragon and tiger martial artist who can't even pay the rent to a well-known martial arts instructor, not only driving a car, but also buying a house.
Liu Xingbo belongs to the kind of person who is very righteous, he knows that all this is given by Chen Xiaotang now, so he works very hard when filming and working, and it is precisely because of this that he is "notorious", because he is too desperate and harsh in filming, so that as soon as "Brother Bo" is mentioned in Magic Shadow Entertainment, countless people have a cold war. Of course, in addition to the fear of Liu Xingbo, more people admire him, after all, people who work hard like him are rare.
This time, Chen Xiaotang appointed him as the martial arts instructor of the play "Ip Man". And Mr. Wong Liang, the head of Wing Chun, assisted on the side, which also made Liu Xingbo, a man, feel that Yali was very big. It's better if you do it alone, but this Huang Zhangmen around you is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and whether your own action design is not in place or secondary, the most important thing is that you don't have a lot of mastery of Wing Chun in the boxing skills you practice, so it is difficult to design fights. If the other party makes a joke, it will be a big mess.
Regarding this scene of "round table fighting", Chen Xiaotang, who was a screenwriter before, has already negotiated with Liu Xingbo. Be sure to design out of the confined space, fists and feet without eyes. The kind of everybody style that is up to the point.
To put it more bluntly, in the small space of the round table, the imagination is used to make the whole audio-visual effect extremely powerful.
For this reason, Liu Xingbo pondered for two or three days, thinking that the Wing Chun boxing method is mainly based on inch fighting, and the Hong boxing played by Hung Jinbao makes Hong Boxing mainly fierce. Therefore, when the two of them make moves at the round table, they can use slowness to highlight the style of the two.
Hong Quan is calm and slow. Every move gives people the feeling of being overwhelmed by the wind and thunder; Wing Chun is keen-eyed and known for being fast, and every move is lightning fast. Fast as a shooting star.
Filming officially began.
The staff placed a large round table top on the chairs, surrounded by stacked chairs, forming a prototype "tower". This kind of shape intuitively gives people a very "shocking" feeling, after all, it is not easy to build a large ring about three meters high and up to 16 meters in diameter. What's more, these are all built with tables, chairs and benches, which is absolutely unprecedented in Hong Kong kung fu films.
When director Xu Xiaoming saw such a scene layout, he couldn't help but be stunned, which can't be seen from the script, and now everything is in front of him, which is still a little shocking.
"Ah Tang, how did you design this ring, the idea is so peculiar?" Xu Xiaoming asked.
Ye Zhen and Huang Liang and others next to him were also very curious.
Chen Xiaotang smiled slightly, of course I can't say that I was inspired by watching the "Ip Man" in my previous life, so I had to say: "It's not the last time I went to the Wing Chun Martial Arts Hall to worship the mountain gate, the bench array opened my eyes, I was inspired from there!" ”
"Oh, it turns out that this set is from our bench array, no wonder it looks so familiar!" Ye Zhen and Huang Liang nodded secretly.
Without further ado, filming began.
Since the ring is three meters high, the camera should shoot on the boom during the shooting, and at the same time, air cushions and other materials should be added underneath to take safety precautions to prevent the actor from falling down.
In the camera, Li Lianjie and Hong Jinbao each wore costumes and stood on the table. Because Hong Jinbao's eldest brother is burly and fat, Li Lianjie looks a little thin in comparison, so the camera is shot with far and near lenses when catching the two. One of the advantages of this is that the long lens can shrink the person, and the close lens can make the person bigger.
It is obviously not possible to shoot a camera for this scene, so Xu Xiaoming, as the director, discussed with Chen Xiaotang and equipped three sets, one to shoot on the boom, one to shoot on the ground, and one to slide on the track for shooting.
In this way, it is possible to shoot in a series from three angles, upper, middle, and lower, and even if the shooting is inaccurate from one angle, it can be compensated for from another angle.
However, theoretically speaking, this is the case, but it is not the same thing to really start filming, it turns out that the most important thing in the fight scene is the movement of the actors, especially kung fu players like Li Lianjie and Hung Jinbao, the action speed is extremely fast, and the photographer can't keep up with the shooting rhythm if he is not careful.
It is true that the photographer has already been dazzled by the fists and feet of Li Lianjie and Hong Jinbao when shooting, not to mention the shooting rhythm, and even the camera lens switching focus seems to be in a hurry.
Director Xu Xiaoming, who was paying attention to the filming situation on the side, was angry, especially Chen Xiaotang was also beside him, but he made the scene look like this, which was very embarrassing.
“cut!” Xu Xiaoming shouted, then pointed to the photographer who was in a hurry and said, "What are you eating?" What school did you graduate from? Will it be adjusted, will it be able to turn the camera? ”
The photographer is obviously a "novice", this time "Ip Man" started filming in a hurry, and the photographer was not manpowered, so he was temporarily pulled over to fill the number, but I didn't expect it......
The photographer was scolded so red-faced, but this drama still has to start filming, as the main photographer, Duke Feng said helplessly, "Either the three machines will shoot separately, and I will rush to the scene?" ”
The so-called separate shooting is to do two or three times of an action, and then the photographer chooses to shoot from different angles, which is often used when shooting literary films, and Duke Feng is a veteran in this area, for example, in his previous life, he filmed the scene of "In the Mood for Love" Zhang Manyu carrying a rice jar up the stairs, which was repeated from different angles N times, and finally the editing was successful.
As soon as Duke Feng proposed this, it seemed that there was no way to do it, but some people were unwilling, who, Brother Hong Jinbao!
This kind of shooting does solve the difficulty of shooting from different angles, but it invisibly adds trouble to the actors, especially the actors who shoot martial arts scenes, an action can only be done very hard, and you let him repeat it two or three times at once, isn't that a toss? Also, such a filming delayed the time of many actors, Brother Hung Jinbao himself is busy, and there are still many films on him, this cameo appearance by the crew of "Ip Man" is enough to give Chen Xiaotang face, if he continues to grind like this, when will he finish filming his own scenes? !
Therefore, without waiting for director Xu Xiaoming to agree, Brother Hong Jinbao spoke: "It's not okay to do this, I'm in a hurry!" ”
Just this sentence sounds very polite, but director Xu Xiaoming knows that he has annoyed Brother Hung Jinbao.
Seeing that the atmosphere was a little awkward, Chen Xiaotang stood up and said: "It's better to be like this, I also know a little bit about shooting skills, I once filmed "Doomsday Danger" when I was shooting on a plane, Duke Feng, you also said that I shot well...... Why don't you let me shoot the following scenes! ”
No one expected that Chen Xiaotang, the big boss, would "take the initiative to ask for help", and Brother Hong Jinbao had nothing to say. Director Xu Xiaoming is still worried, can he do it? After all, Chen Xiaotang's identity as a screenwriter, director, actor and singer has long been recognized by everyone, but what about this photography...... Who knows.
Everything is ready, Chen Xiaotang has changed from the screenwriter of this play to a photographer.
And it is a photographer sitting on the boom, according to the meaning of Duke style, Chen Xiaotang seems to be very suitable for "aerial work".
Chen Xiaotang laughed at this.
This time, the shooting was much smoother than the previous one, especially this scene was designed by Liu Xingbo after soliciting Chen Xiaotang's opinion, and the script was written by Chen Xiaotang, and now Chen Xiaotang is shooting as a photographer, so it can be said that the control of the angle is in place.
Here I have to talk about the cooperation of Li Lianjie and Hong Jinbao. As the big brother in the Hong Kong film industry, Brother Hung Jinbao did not underestimate Li Lianjie, on the contrary, when he was playing, he regarded him as a real opponent.
Although Hong Jinbao was born in an opera troupe, different from Cheng Long, he has learned real kung fu, especially Hong Boxing. Therefore, in the round table battle, but seeing the strength and demeanor of his punches, he was very calm and practiced.
If it was Li Lianjie before, he might feel very difficult to play such a rival in front of Brother Hung Jinbao, but under Chen Xiaotang's subtlety, he can be relieved of himself at this moment, especially after receiving the guidance of the head of Huangliang and Mr. Ye Zhen, the Wing Chun boxing method has improved a lot, and it looks like it is performed, and even Ye Huang can't help but nod and praise.
There is no n camera in the shooting, and it can almost be said that Li Lianjie and Brother Hong Jinbao fought in one go. The filming crew here also captured the details of the entire action scene, and the shooting was perfect!
Of course, Chen Xiaotang has contributed a lot to this, if it weren't for him, the big boss, who temporarily acted as a photographer, I'm afraid this scene would have been a lot of good things.
