Listening to Lin Xi's words, Zhao Ya's subconscious reaction was, if a stand-in is used in fights, won't the audience see through it?
"I can't guarantee others, but Cheng Xiaodong definitely won't, he has a 'shapeshifting' stunt in his hands, although it is a stand-in in front of the camera, but it is guaranteed that the audience will not see any clues."
Lin Xi proudly played in front of Zhao Yazhi, of course, he said it easily, it was not so easy to achieve it.
In another time and space, Cheng Xiaodong is a well-known director who is the best at using stand-ins, he does not give the stuntman a face in the close-up fight, blurs the long-range fight, and the post-production lens conversion and picture editing reach the point of being fake and real.
This kind of treatment has long been common in TV dramas in later generations, but in the current era when martial arts TV series fights are still stuck in the era of hard bridges and hard horses, you punch me and I have one leg, Cheng Xiaodong's method can definitely be regarded as a pioneering method.
Lin Xi took these out and showed them off in front of Zhao Yazhi, which really frightened Zhao Da Beauty.
Of course, the use of a large number of stuntmen is just part of Lin Xi's transformation of the action design of "Chu Liuxiang", in order to make this TV series appear completely different from the previous action TV movies, Lin Xi is also ready to go directly to Weiya in this play.
Lin Xi had inquired about the relevant information from Cheng Xiaodong in advance, and also knew that Weiya had already been widely used in the filming of action movies, but at this time, the use of Weiya was still in the simplest stage, and it was only used to match the action strength of the cast.
In the action design, the performance of knocking the opponent down with a punch or kick requires the two actors to coordinate with each other, and the opponent must react to the beating at the moment of contact with the opponent's money.
This is very demanding for the reaction of the beaten actor, neither fast nor slow, so some directors thought of a more trouble-free way, directly tied Weiya to the actor's feet, and instantly pulled him down according to the stroke. It's a "real" reaction that doesn't rely on the actor's performance, and it often intensifies the action and makes the action look more powerful.
The use of WIA, which hangs actors flying around in the air like in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", has not been widely used at the moment, because it not only involves WIA, but also requires the cooperation of mechanical spreaders such as booms and pulleys, as well as the special costumes on the actors.
Cheng Xiaodong had similar ideas before, but due to the filming environment at the time, it was impossible to give him so much money and time to try, and this time Lin Xi put forward this idea and immediately got a positive response from him.
After the start-up ceremony, Lin Xi asked Cheng Xiaodong about this matter, and Cheng Xiaodong was preparing these props at this time, because the first scene filmed today would be used.
Zhao Yazhi followed Lin Xi to the filming site by car, and Chen Jiaxiang didn't know where to find such a bamboo forest, which could be used to shoot today's scene.
Cheng Xiaodong and Chen Jiaxiang had already arrived here to prepare, and the equipment such as booms and pulleys were spread around, so that many crew members who had seen these things before stopped and watched on both sides.
As long as he doesn't interfere with his work, Cheng Xiaodong won't stop him when he sees it, and he will even call one or two onlookers to come forward and help.
Seeing Lin Xi coming, the staff around dispersed.
Zheng Shaoqiu, who was traveling with him, had already changed into a special costume at this time, because this scene was about Chu Liuxiang played by him who saved the Emei Daoist with his fingers, and was about to ask the Taoist why he was chased and killed, but the Taoist was killed by a hidden weapon shot from the side, Chu Liuxiang immediately chased out, but found that the other party's light skills were no less than his own.
In the story, Chu Liuxiang's light skills are known as the first in the world, in order to show this, the only thing Lin Xi can think of is hanging Weiya, although most of the actions hanging in the air will be completed by stuntmen, but there are a few actions that can't avoid the face during filming, so Zheng Shaoqiu needs to go into battle in person.
Zheng Shaoqiu is no stranger to Weiya, but this time he is going to be hung in the air and swinging, and it is inevitable that he will be a little uncertain. The main thing is that he is still worried about Wia's endurance, if it is interrupted in mid-air, it will definitely not be good to fall.
Injuries can range from injuries to life.
Although Zheng Shaoqiu had the idea of repaying Lin Xi with a serious performance from the beginning, he had not yet reached the point of joking with his life.
Cheng Xiaodong also saw Zheng Shaoqiu's hesitation, and then kept explaining to him Weiya's load-bearing capacity, as well as some preparations made by the crew for safe filming, including a half-meter-thick sponge mat underneath during filming.
But after saying it, Zheng Shaoqiu was still a little hesitant.
In order to completely dispel Zheng Shaoqiu's concerns, Cheng Xiaodong decided to personally go into battle to demonstrate to him how to bake the butterflies from the fishy customs
"Miss Guan, Shangweiya is not a joke, let's come!" Cheng Xiaodong looked at Guan Zhilin who came out of the crowd with some helplessness, and asked Lin Xi for help with his eyes.
Because she almost missed and injured Lin Xi before, Guan Zhilin was always a little stunned when she faced Lin Xi's gaze, otherwise she wouldn't have been hiding in the crowd just now.
Today's scene here was originally nothing to do with Zhi Lin, she begged the makeup artist Ah Hong to bring her over, saying that she wanted to see if Lin Xi was really as powerful as everyone said, but as soon as she arrived at the scene, she was attracted by these props of Hanging Weiya, and the thought of flying around in the sky like this, she felt that it should be similar to swinging, but it would definitely be more interesting.
After listening to Cheng Xiaodong explain the various safety measures of Jiaoweiya, Guan Zhilin was even more bold and wanted to give it a try.
"Director, look at this, ......" Cheng Xiaodong walked up to Lin Xi with some embarrassment, according to his meaning, it was better not to let Guan Zhilin try it, because not everyone can afford to eat Weiya, especially if the other party is still a woman.
"She has a lot of scenes in the back, can Director Cheng ensure that they are all completed with a stand-in?"
Lin Xi asked Cheng Xiaodong about it, the situation during filming is often changing, and even the pre-designed actions dare not guarantee that there will be any changes during the on-site shooting, not to mention that Guan Zhilin does need to hang Weiya to shoot the camera in the next few scenes.
Originally, Cheng Xiaodong planned to let the two actors do some adaptability training before filming, but he didn't expect Guan Zhilin to volunteer to try it today.
"Since you're going to shoot later, let her try it."
Lin Xi nodded here, and Guan Zhilin couldn't wait to ask the staff next to her to help her wear special prop clothes.
Zhao Yazhi watched from the sidelines but was a little worried, called Lin Xi aside and asked, "Is it really okay to let her try?" ”
Lin Xi glanced at the other side with some schadenfreude, "There will be no danger, but there will definitely be no less suffering, it's just that she doesn't know it yet." ”
