Chapter 79: A New School of Martial Arts

Lin Xi was originally not going to talk about the topic of action design innovation in martial arts film and television dramas at the press conference, because he knew that once he explained something thoroughly, it would definitely cause a lot of controversy.

After all, what is popular in this era is still the kind of hard-core martial arts that is hard and hard-bridged, which has been popular since Bruce Lee movies have been popular for so many years, not only has it not declined, but it is becoming more and more famous, and the new films launched every year can still firmly occupy the top ten of the annual box office in Hong Kong, which is enough to explain a lot of problems.

And this is also the result of Bruce Lee's focus in the past two years, no longer limited to Hong Kong and Southeast Asia, and gradually turning his career focus to Hollywood.

Challenging the inherent concepts of the entire era on his own, Lin Xi always feels that this is a bit unrealistic, and he hopes to change a little bit, and let everyone slowly accept this new style of action design.

This approach is safe, but the disadvantage is that it can't leave a deep impression, and if someone makes a more prominent film and television work than Lin Xi's style, everyone will think that this design was created by that person.

This fallacy tends to circulate for a long time, and even becomes a natural understanding that everyone is accustomed to, until one day it is suddenly corrected by a certain sophisticated historical party, and everyone reacts: Oh, I see!

And then as usual, everyone still only remembers the most prominent style, as for the initiator, who cares who he is?

The most famous example in history is the inventor of the electric lamp, the British chemist and physicist Joseph Swann made a carbon filament electric lamp 20 years earlier than Edison, but ordinary people only think that Edison is the inventor of the light bulb, because Edison invented high-power generators, insulated wires, shunt circuits, etc., and made great contributions to the promotion and application of electric lights, so that electric lights enter ordinary families, so people generally consider Edison to be the inventor of electric lights.

As for Joseph Swan, he is nothing more than a foil to the tragedy.

Lin Xi knows very well that the trend of hard-core martial arts set off by Bruce Lee will recede sooner or later, and the new martial arts have huge advantages in both filming and effect presentation.

This will definitely bear some controversy at the beginning, but there have been enough controversies in Hong Kong society around Lin Xi in the past six months or so, from the ghostwriting turmoil at the beginning to the shocking debut of two commercials later...... The so-called debts are not worried, who cares about him?

Thinking of this, Lin Xi decided to take this opportunity to show his face once, and strive to make everyone "unforgettable" of him!

"Director Cheng is modest, in fact, I don't make these requests, and he can slowly explore some related skills, for example, in order to show Xiàn light work, we use Weiya to hang the actor directly in the air during filming, and then use guò technology to process it in the later stage, so that the picture looks like he is really flying in the sky with light work, in order to shoot such an effect, it is inevitable that the actor will suffer some hardships."

As soon as the words ended, a reporter stood up in the audience.

"Director Lin, you are doing this, I feel that you are suspected of deceiving the audience!"

Lin Xi was stunned for more than three seconds after hearing this question, and then he couldn't help laughing.

"Are you sure you're really a journalist and not someone who deliberately sneaks in to make trouble?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the audience laughed a lot.

It's not that Lin Xi's words are humorous, but that the reporter's question just now is so stupid, so stupid that the reporters sitting in the audience can't help but draw a line with him.

"I think this reporter's worries are really a bit redundant, because the audience is not stupid, if you shoot too many flaws, everyone will definitely not buy it, from another point of view, I believe everyone knows in their hearts that the people and things mentioned in martial arts novels are fictional, but everyone is still willing to watch it, because such stories can enrich everyone's imagination and entertain the lives of the public, whether it is a TV series or a movie, I think the most basic function is this."

Seeing that no one in the audience objected, Lin Xi began to extend what he wanted to express from this topic

"Of course, you can also find that kung fu movies have developed to the present, in fact, it has reached a bottleneck, I don't mean that the previous kind of hard horse and hard bridge action fighting is not good, just that this kind of action design can no longer fully meet everyone's imagination, to make a simple example, no matter how powerful Bruce Lee is on the screen, he can fight ten or twenty, but he is still a person after all, no matter how fast his fists are, he can't compare to bullets, and no matter how high his kung fu is, it is impossible to fight against guns, this is the constraint of reality, If you want to follow this style, you have to be conditioned by this. ”

"But why did everyone laugh just now, because everyone knows in their hearts that acting and reality cannot be equated, I believe that Mr. Bruce Lee has real kung fu, but in reality he may not be as powerful as in his movies, this is an artistic exaggeration, and what we are doing now is just to further amplify this exaggeration, and do something that action movies have not done before, such as actors flying in the sky, such as using internal force to fly flowers and pick leaves, that is, hurting people, And I believe that what we are doing now is only some rudimentary innovations, and in the future, with the maturity and progress of technology, we can create more incredible effects to further satisfy the imagination of the audience. ”

The audience could only hear the sound of reporters brushing their pens and quickly recording in their notebooks, and after Lin Xi finished speaking, someone raised his hand and signaled that the host wanted to ask a question.

After consulting Lin Xi's opinion, the host raised his hand to ask the reporter to speak.

"Director Lin, your idea of innovating the action design of kung fu movies really opened our eyes, but just now you used Bruce Lee as an example, is it a hint that one day you will surpass Bruce Lee and push kung fu movies to a new level."

Hearing this, Zhao Yazhi and Cheng Xiaodong, who were standing beside Lin Xi, couldn't help but cast worried glances at him, this reporter's words were clearly ill-intentioned, and he wanted to provoke the contradiction between Lin Xi and Bruce Lee.

If Lin Xi really fell into the trap of the other party, things would be a little troublesome.

"Can I say no?" Lin Xi pursed his lips helplessly, "Even if I say that I don't mean to compete with Mr. Bruce Lee at all, will everyone here accept it?" After you go back, you will definitely try your best to link the two, originally, it is not a big deal to watch the excitement, which is also the usual practice of your media. ”

These seemingly self-deprecating words not only shaved the faces of the reporters in the audience, but also made them have nothing to say.

"Of course, I'm a very talkative person, I invite everyone to come over today, and I also hope that you can help promote the drama "Chu Liuxiang" more later, since there is a place to ask for you, of course, I will try my best to meet everyone's requirements, such as the question just now."

Lin Xi deliberately stopped when he said this, and only after whetting the appetite of the reporters in the audience did he officially reply: "That's right, my ultimate goal is to surpass the trend of hardcore kung fu movies pioneered by Mr. Bruce Lee, of course, I hope Mr. Bruce Lee doesn't mind, because I didn't mean anything about him in this remark, just just a matter of facts!" ”
