Wang Xiaohu's design of the "Eighteen Palms of the Dragon Descending" was ridiculed and generous, but he did not mean to be embarrassed, because no one knew how many good memories this Kanglong had regrets and carried him. 【】

In "Shooting the Condor", whether it is the original novel or the TV series, the role of the eighteen palms of the dragon is quite important, he is the signature martial arts of the actor Guo Jing, and it is a very important help for Guo Jing's growth.

In his previous life, since he saw the silly boy Guo Jing learn Kang Long's regrets, whenever he fights with others, Wang Xiaohu desperately hopes that Guo Jing can use this trick as soon as possible, the special effects at that time were not very developed, and the 83 version of "Shooting the Condor" can make such visual effects already feel very good.

Believe it or not, when Guo Jing finished this set of actions, the camera suddenly made Guo Jing teleport to the "different dimensional space" to start the move, the so-called different dimensional space is a dragon head with an open mouth, and the dragon opens its mouth without biting Guo Jing, indicating that the dragon has been surrendered by Guo Jing.

Guo Jing punched in the dragon's head, and 10 seconds later, as his palms pushed forward, eighteen "palm prints" that I didn't know were cat's paws, dog paws, and chicken paws flew out of the other-dimensional space and hit each other in an instant.

As he pushed his palms forward, eighteen "palm prints" that didn't know what cat paws, dog paws, and chicken paws flew out of the interdimensional space and hit each other in an instant, slow motion and a deliberately elongated "bang bang bang", the other party let out a miserable scream, and his body flew out upside down in mid-air.

Even though Huang Yuehua's version of Guo Jing always used this trick of "Eighteen Palms of Dragon Descending", which never changed, it made Wang Xiaohu's group of children feel that this was enough at that time!

So everyone often imitates and exercises, and occasionally raises together to see whose dragon descending eighteen palms are handsome

Maybe you may not be right, some of the pawns are not dead after being slapped, and they are still alive! Wang Xiaohu can tell you very responsibly that Guo Jing doesn't want to hurt people, so most of the middle palms just fly back upside down, but they are unharmed, even if he occasionally spits blood, it does not have a big impact on his body, so that Guo Jing's image will be more benevolent and righteous, and classics are classics

"Ah Hu, I feel that this action is very ordinary, you didn't design it seriously." After laughing, Yuan Heping told the truth.

Wang Xiaohu smiled bitterly and said: "The invisible thing of internal strength must make something that everyone can understand, the most difficult design in "Shooting the Condor" is the eighteen palms of the dragon and a yang finger, the former is easy to say, the latter is basically a little bit of a clue, right?" ”

"Yes, I haven't thought of how to interpret the movements of a yang finger until now." Yuan Heping grabbed his hair, looking a little bored.

Wang Xiaohu knows that Yuan Heping is currently in a state of bottleneck, on the one hand, because his first contact with martial arts novels is adapted into TV and movies, which is very different from the real kung fu he originally pursued before.

Even if it is the dog-beating stick method and toad gong in "Shooting the Condor", these can be found through historical materials or the martial arts database of Shaolin Temple, but there is no reference for this dragon eighteen palms and one yang finger, if Yuan Heping breaks through this level, his future development in martial arts guidance will be bright.

Wang Xiaohu patted Yuan Heping on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Big eyes, I can understand your mood at this time, the more you are at this time, the more you should calm down." ”

While comforting Yuan Heping, Wang Xiaohu recalled in his mind the cases of the previous versions of the Eighteen Palms of the Dragon Descent.

With the development of the television industry, computer stunts have made immeasurable contributions to the design of martial arts movements, and by the time Huang Yuehua's version of Qiao Feng's "Dragon Babu" arrived, the eighteen palms of the dragon descended in terms of aura, action, light and shadow, sound effects, and destructive power.

Back then, Guo Jing's eighteen palms of dragon descent only knocked one or two people flying, and what flew out was only chicken paws, but now, when Qiao Feng was lucky, the sky and the earth changed color, and there would be a ball of light in the middle, and there was even a lightning sound of tearing and tearing, and after the move was issued, it also evolved into a small golden dragon, and the destructive power was directly increased by n levels, which was completely comparable to TNT bombs.

The eighteen palms of the dragon in the 03 version of "Shooting the Condor" are cliché dragon release special effects, only to see a long golden dragon (sometimes a water dragon or leaf dragon) flying out from between Guo Jing's palms, and then scurrying in the air like a snake, and people are turning over on their backs wherever they go......

At that time, Zhang Jizhong had a large group of excellent martial arts instructors such as Zhao Tianba, Guo Jianyong, Lin Feng, Chen Yongge, etc., any one of them could produce eighteen palms of dragon descent that did not rely on special effects at all, God knows what Zhang Jizhong invited Ma Yucheng back to do!

This is the major versions of the eighteen palms of the dragon in Wang Xiaohu's memory, one version is not as good as the other, as a rigorous martial arts instructor and action director, Wang Xiaohu does not want to design this kind of not martial arts but "magic", "immortal law" of the four different things.

It's not that he can't design it, he just feels that if these things are moved to the TV screen, it is easy to destroy the perfection of the 83 version of "Shooting the Condor" in his mind, it is undeniable that it is very eye-catching to make it a water dragon, a golden dragon, a leaf dragon or something, but it reduces the classics of the 83 version of "Shooting the Condor" to varying degrees.

In Wang Xiaohu's opinion, the martial arts dramas in Jin Yong's novels are easily misunderstood as fantasy, which is the fundamental reason for the change of taste in many Jin Yong's dramas.

Have you even seen great directors like Tsui Hark, Yuan Heping, and John Woo design this kind of nonsensical martial arts action?

In his previous life, Yuan Heping was able to reach the height of the world's first in the field of martial arts, dominate the world, and stand alone in the world, because he really understood kung fu and really had a solid foundation.

Whether it is Tai Chi, Wing Chun, Hung Boxing, Lost Trace or Karate, Western Boxing, he can come easily, and can fit the role, can fully integrate into the environment, "Wong Fei Hung" series, "Tai Chi Zhang Sanfeng", "Huo Yuanjia" are all classic cases, so that the real source, the real source of the action to exaggerate, appropriate virtualization, the effect is undoubtedly the most exciting, the most easy to make people feel "this is Kung Fu" feeling.

And Yuan Heping's strength lies in the fact that even if he uses stunts, even if he uses stunts and the most advanced stunts on a large scale, the movements he designs can still give people the strongest and most solid sense of realism and impact, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", "The Matrix", "Thunderbolt Baby", which action design in these films used to fool Westerners is not mysterious, virtual and virtual? But that sense of realism, that visual impact, is always real.

This kind of skill, this understanding of the use of stunts, is not something that can be imitated by just putting a few dragons and flashing a few lights.

Wang Xiaohu has always learned from Yuan Heping in the previous life and moved closer, even if he designed the "levitation" fight scene in "Mythology", it is also a special environment to show a move.

The environment of a TV series or a movie determines the level of weapons and martial arts used by your character.

You can't let a character use a laser gun in the Cold Weapon Age, right? That will make the audience feel very, there is no sense of tension and excitement, the characters are unforgiving and have no enemies in it, and the audience will feel aesthetic fatigue after the freshness.

In the same way, in the martial arts novel "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", the appearance of golden dragons, water dragons, earth dragons and even the Big Bang of the small universe is even more nonsense, and it is related to grandma's house, this thing can only appear in those fairy tales and fantasy novels in the previous life, not in Jin Yong's novels.

In fact, Wang Xiaohu feels that it is not difficult to produce a completely real and simple dragon descending eighteen palms without any computer special effects, and it can retain enough audio-visual effects for the audience.

Yuan Heping did it in Stephen Chow's bad film "Wu Zhuangyuan Su Qier", and Donnie Yen did it in "Dragon and Tiger Gate", from trick design to post-production, it is far less complicated and false than "putting the dragon", Wang Xiaohu does not believe that he, a reborn person, will cliché and completely rely on special effects to make "Eighteen Palms of the Dragon" after learning from the classics of countless predecessors.

Therefore, what Wang Xiaohu wants to do now seems to be very complicated, but it is actually very simple, that is, to fundamentally establish an overall development direction before the martial arts action in Jin Yong's drama is not rotten!

"If it is elaborated from the novel "Shooting the Condor", a yang finger is the martial arts of Dali Duan's mastery, and it is also the specialized fingering of the master of Nandi Yideng, and it is feasible for Ouyang Feng's toad gong of the western poison.

Wang Xiaohu said to Jin Yong with a smile: "If you connect with "Tianlong Babu" and "The Condor Heroes", the former is even more miraculous, and the one yang finger has become the most basic fingering in the six-vein divine sword, and it is not even worth talking about, and in "The Condor Heroes", the Wu Santong is even more detailed, and even the power of one yang finger is weak to within three zhang. I don't know if I'm right to analyze it like this? ”

Jin Yong frowned and pondered for a long time, and said with a little embarrassment: "Xiaohu, I can't remember any of this, and I have forgotten how I wrote it at that time." ”

Everyone laughed when they heard this, Wang Xiaohu sighed and said: "This is also the most troublesome part of the adaptation of the novel into a TV series." ”

"So what do we do?" Yuan Heping asked, and Huang Yuehua, Weng Meiling and others also came around, pricking up their ears to listen to how Wang Xiaohu designed these two divine skills.

"Close to reality to design, "Condor Shooting" is a martial arts novel, the action we design should also strictly follow the model of martial arts novels, and the biggest difference between martial arts and Xianxia is that the worldview of the two is different.

Yuan Heping was still confused, and Wang Xiaohu continued to explain when he saw this: "You designed the corresponding martial arts actions around the literal meaning of the eighteen palms of the dragon in the novel, everything is designed in accordance with reality, Guo Jing, Hong Qigong, and Master Yideng are people, not gods!" And the internal strength is not impossible to interpret. ”

Yuan Heping suddenly said: "Then you said that you invited Industrial Light and Magic to do special effects."

Wang Xiaohu shrugged and explained: "Special effects are auxiliary measures to show internal strength, but we still have to design wonderful martial arts movements. ”

As the male lead actor of "Shooting the Condor", Huang Yuehua is now eager to know what the eighteen palms of the dragon descend are, so he asked innocently: "Master, what does the eighteen palms of the dragon descending look like in your mind?" ”

"That's right, Lao Dou said it quickly, I want to know too." Weng Meiling was also curious, and then looked at Jin Yong, Yuan Heping and others all looked like this.

Wang Xiaohu pondered for a while, and then said: "In my opinion: the eighteen palms of the dragon are a set of upper limb attacks-based boxing methods, even hitting and eliminating, both offensive and defensive, and completely speaking, this set of palm methods includes all the upper limb attacks, I hope the audience can see the simple elbow method, and even the knee method, grappling technique, etc., of course, the dragon tail swing is a move that specializes in the people who raid behind the back, such as the afterlife, the strength is fierce, it is a trick to solve the danger and save yourself, and it is one of the few leg methods. ”

"Oh, I probably understand, you want me to design real martial arts movements, and then use special effects to explain the internal skills in the novel." Yuan Heping nodded again and again.

"That's right, no matter how amazing the special effects are, they can only be auxiliary, increasing the momentum of the action, if the special effects are purely used, there is no real action that can better reflect the mystery of martial arts, not to mention the eighteen palms of the dragon in "Shooting the Condor" itself, or a yang finger, all in order to set off the chivalrous righteousness of Guo Jing, Hong Qigong, Nandi and others, and martial arts is the most fundamental."

"Well, that's good!"

Jin Yong applauded, if the script created by Wang Xiaohu nine years ago accurately positioned the mystery of "Shooting the Condor", then today's general outline of action design in order to strengthen the interpretation of "the great man of chivalry" is more vividly interpreted what Jin Yong wants to express in his heart.

After listening to it, Yuan Heping suddenly opened his mouth, feeling that it was stupid to work hard for such a thing before, and at the same time, he also realized something deeper in his heart, that feeling was very subtle, although he couldn't grasp it for a while, but it made him ecstatic.

"How? I said it was easy, right? Wang Xiaohu spread his hands and said to Yuan Heping.

Yuan Heping smiled and said embarrassedly: "It's easy for you, but it's difficult for us, but at least I have the most fundamental basis, and it's a lot easier to design." ”

Wang Xiaohu suddenly remembered something, and said to Jin Yong not very surely: "Lao Dou, you started in publishing, you should know a guy named Huang Yulang, right?" ”

"Why don't you know, Yulang International is still very famous!" Jin Yong said with a smile.
