Chapter 296: Wu Jing played with momentum
A month later, the crew moved from China to Singapore.
In the early morning of this day, a boxing match involving 100 million gambling funds was filmed on a yacht in the port of Singapore, which was also a life-and-death competition between Wang Chao and the first big ** in the first part of the film.
Playing Liu Wei is China's retired super sanda king Liu Hailong, and today's fight between him and Wu Jing is not only watched by Chen Long, but also by Tony Jia.
Tony Jia is the first time to come to the crew, and his arrival makes this fight even more worth watching. This famous national action star is very happy to have his idol Chen Long, and he is also famous for Liu Hailong, the two-time Chinese Muay Thai boxing champion who knocked out the Thai boxing champion and a superstar in the boxing industry for a long time, and he came here this time to see the fight between Liu Hailong and Wu Jing.
Liu Hailong is very strong, Wu Jing is not inferior, everyone has seen Wu Jing in the past month, Wang Xu's evaluation of Wu Jing is a bloody, affectionate and righteous man, everyone affectionately calls him Angkor.
After three rehearsals, Wu Jing and Liu Hailong felt that they had a tacit understanding with each other, and made an OK gesture to the director. So under Wang Xu's order, it began.
"Mr. Wang, although you are strong in kung fu. But it may be the first time to come into contact with this coastal martial arts world. Come, I'll introduce you one by one. Zhao Jun is very enthusiastic, showing the generosity of the host of the organizer.
Zhao Jun plays Qian Feng, and now he is also an old actor. Playing this kind of villain is familiar with the road. In the three years since joining Golden Hammer Film and Television, his development in the film field is not as good as Xiao Ai, and he is still a second-tier coffee, but he does not bloom in the east, but blooms in the west, and he is a proper first-line student in the field of TV dramas.
Qian Feng said in the media more than once that Wang Xu and Wang Han were both nobles in his life and were admitted to the Shanghai Drama Academy. Joining "Everyday Upward" and signing with Golden Hammer Film and Television were three important turning points that changed his life.
Wang Han is his most respected eldest brother, and Wang Xu is his best brother.
"Mr. Zhao. No need. Wang Chao (Wu Jing) rejected Zhao Jun's introduction: "I have brought the cash check for 100 million land mentioned in the contract." According to the rules, before fighting, I have to put a handprint on the life and death document with Master Zhang Wei. Without further ado, let's get started now. ”
The reason why Wang Chao refused was because there were many masters present, and some of them were martial arts masters, with all kinds of kung fu, so if they really let Zhao Jun introduce them one by one. If you are polite, you must say hello, which will inevitably watch all kinds of details on others, especially Chen Aiyang (Zhang Zhen) and Xue Lianxin (Master Yu Hai, the grandmaster of Mantis Boxing), such a master, Wang Chao is definitely interested in looking at it carefully, but in this way, it is very distracting.
There were a lot of chores before the competition. Distraction is a big no-no.
"Well, of course, the host should respect the opinions of the guests. Let's get started. Zhao Jun frowned, he didn't expect Wang to be so neat.
Wang Chao didn't speak, let Zhao Jun arrange it, and the two walked to a big table in front of the ring, with a brush and an inkstone on the big table. A large piece of rice paper. There was also an open box of ink.
Eight big characters were written on the rice paper: "Fair competition, life and death aside." ”
Wang Chao picked up the pen, signed his name on it, and then pressed the red handprint with ink.
Zhang Wei (Liu Hailong) also walked out of the cabin, dressed in black cloth. Wear cloth shoes. His expression was cold. He also walked to the stage and signed and drew a charge.
At that moment, a man in a loose exercise uniform walked up and shouted, "Witnesses sign." ”
As soon as he finished shouting, Chen Aiyang (Zhang Zhen) over there stood up first.
Wang Chao didn't look at Chen Aiyang, and only said: "I'll go change my clothes." Please lead the way. With that, he turned and walked towards the cabin.
"Xiao Chen, this young man is not simple." Xue Lianxin is an old man in his nineties, with a snow-white beard, but he is meticulously combed. Walk to the front of the stage and pick up a brush to sign. Looking at the back of Wang walking into the cabin, he said to Chen Aiyang.
"It's not easy." Chen Aiyang's eyes flashed and nodded: "Looking at his body and steps, his kung fu and Zhang Wei's kung fu should be about the same, especially his calm mind and not disturbed by external objects." It seems that this is evenly matched, and one of them must die here in this competition. It's a pity. ”
"It's not in vain that a person who practices boxing dies in the ring." Xue Lianxin's white beard fluttered in the sea breeze: "This is a dragon and tiger fight, who will kill the deer, it is difficult to guess, you and I should wait and see the result." ”
"Ok, very good, one pass." Wang Xu was very happy and shouted to Wu Jing: "Brother Ang, very good, what I want is your state." Wu Jing ignored Wang Xu's words and was still in the play.
Wu Jing's state is called "too deep into the play", I have heard that actors are too deep in the entertainment industry, Wang Xu heard Liang Chaowei talk about the experience of "Spring * Flash", after playing a same-sex lover in the film, he has not been able to get out, and it was Liu Jialing who took care of him for a few months before returning to normal.
Now Wu Jing also has this kind of signs, he is no longer able to distinguish between Wang Chao and himself, in a fight with Zhao Xinglong played by Peng Yuyan last week, Wu Jing entered the play very deeply and injured Peng Yuyan. Now Peng Yuyan's arms and thighs can still be seen with some cyan injuries from punches and feet.
Peng Yuyan was accustomed to injury, but those group performers were reluctant to fight with Wu Jing for fear of injury, and finally doubled their salary, and reluctantly agreed after repeatedly emphasizing safety protection.
In today's fight, Liu Hailong didn't have to worry about Wu Jing being able to hurt himself, but he didn't dare to take it lightly. Because after the two changed their costumes and walked into the ring, he obviously felt that Wu Jing's momentum was completely different from the off-stage moves, and he felt a strong will to fight in Wu Jing, as if Wu Jing was no longer a simple actor, but a real boxer who wanted to compete with him.
Although he was just acting, he also admired such an opponent, and Liu Hailong had to cheer up.
"Master Zhang. There is no hatred between us, but we are forced to fight to the death in this ring, which is really a trick of the world. Wang looked at Zhang Wei and suddenly spoke.
These two people, one is a famous boxing master in Guang * Dong, and the other is a new master in the mainland, they have never known each other, and they have no grievances, but now they have signed a life and death document, which is indeed a sigh.
Both of them are masters of boxing, and their kung fu can judge life and death. But he can't control his own life and death. It is indeed a great irony.
"People are in the rivers and lakes, and they can't help themselves." A very classic sentence came out of Zhang Wei's mouth, but it fit perfectly with the current situation of the two.
"People are in the rivers and lakes, and they can't help themselves".
Tony Jia muttered this Chinese proverb in his mouth, he knew the meaning of this sentence after reading the script well, and when he saw this scene on the stage, he couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion when he thought of the sentence in the script "The person who practices boxing dies in the ring, this is not in vain".
A man in the ring rings a bell in his hand.
"Let's go!"
In an instant, the entire deck of the luxury cruise ship was silent. Only the quiet waves and the whirring of the wind.
The duel between the two boxing masters made all the masters present hold their breath.
Between masters, it is rare to compete, whether it is in or out of the play, these two people are rare to compete.
Wing Chun, white crane shape.
Zhang Wei made the first move, only to see his neck stand up and his head raised! Spread your hands slightly and raise your right leg. With a cushion on his right leg, the whole person seemed to fly up in the air. swept over, and at the moment of pounce, the fists of both hands instantly pecked into a crane's beak, the arms were wrapped inward, and the spiral wind was blowing, rushing to the face!
This move 'White Crane Shape' is not as exaggerated as in the novel. What the whole body is shaken, the chest cavity and lungs are active, and the exhalation and spraying sound naturally form the crane to lead the neck and roar, and what has practiced Wing Chun Hundred Crane Boxing to the level of "sound comes out of the hand".
This movie is unlikely to have such a magical sound and electricity effect as the crane roaring. It is impossible to have a crane behind Zhang Wei like "Journey to the West", that is not a kung fu movie, and Wang Xu does not need to invite so many martial arts consultants, can't he restore the scene of the novel.
Movies and novels are different, they are also under the banner of promoting national arts, and novels can be exaggerated on the basis of reality, such as crane chirping, but movies play real kung fu, and the promotion of national arts cannot be too exaggerated, and they must be as real as possible, otherwise the audience will not buy it, and some martial artists and enthusiasts will not buy it.
The movie has the artistic expression of the movie, and in this movie Wang Xu sets the tone for his style: "Punch to the flesh, hearty, play the spirit of a warrior, and play out the spirit of a man." ”
This move made by Liu Hailong, 'Wing Chun White Crane Shape', has such a flavor. Looking at Wang Chao again, I saw him roar, stepping back, bowing forward, raising his arm at the same time, opening the mountain with a big axe, and throwing it out along the side line of the right eye of his body, which happened to be cut on Zhang Wei's crane pecking fist.
The tiger-shaped slash is strong, and the roar is vibrating.
Tiger to crane.
Wu Jing's roar was heard in Wang Xu's ears, just like the cold-faced instructor Duan Hongwei yelled at them during training, and the momentum was not far from the roar of a tiger.
The layman looks at the bustle, and the insider looks at the doorway. Tony Jia and Chen Long are experts, and when they saw that these two were full of momentum, their blood began to boil.
Zhang Wei and Wang Chao, the two masters, punched back and forth, and the fight was hearty, and in the end, the two even had some moves that did not follow the prior routine, but the director did not shout to stop, and the effect seemed to be better.
The whole ring was shaking, as if it was about to collapse.
Of course, this is just the illusion caused by the momentum of the two fights to the onlookers, and the collapse of the ring still has to be made in the later stage, plus the effect of the broken wooden board being kicked up and flying and bouncing everywhere. Such special effects are acceptable to the audience.
Even if such special effects have not been added, the punches and kicks of the two are also blood-pumping to watch, and they are very enjoyable to watch, replacing Wang Xu himself instead of Wu Jing will definitely not be able to play such an effect, and people who do not have a deep martial arts foundation will not be able to play such an effect.
In particular, Wu Jing has already played a personal style in the eyes of insiders such as Tony Jia and Chen Long, obviously his individual is smaller than Liu Hailong, and his strength is not as good, but his fist gives people a kind of tiger out of the cage as powerful, a kind of indomitable and tragic life and death.
Tony Jia's own style is fierce, brutal, and fierce belongs to a hard-core style of play, and he is also fierce, and Wu Jing is fierce at this time; Zhen Tsaidan's movements are fierce and sharp; Chen Long's style has a bit of juggling, funny and adventurous elements; And Jet Li's movements are fast and beautiful, and his performance is the most gorgeous among several people.
Chen Long has a feeling when he watches Wu Jing's fight, and the sixth kung fu superstar after the release of the film after Bruce Lee, Chen Long, Li Lianjie, Sammo Hung, and Zhen Tsai Dan may be Wu Jing. Previously, Wu Jing, Zhang Jin, Yuan Biao, Liang Xiaolong, Fan Shaohuang, Shi Xiaolong, Zhao Wenzhuo, these group of action stars can only mix in the first and second lines, and there are two reasons why they can't become superstars, one is that their personal style is not outstanding enough and not enough to please the audience, just like Wu Jing's previous movies, such as "Slaying the Wolf", there is only one ruthlessness, there is no such might, and the tragedy of putting life and death out of the way; The second is the lack of classic works, Chen Long and Li Lianjie are the accumulation of many classic movies, even Zhen Zaidan needs a "Ip Man".
Now that Wu Jing's style is available, it depends on whether the film can win the box office and reputation. Chen Long retains a lot of confidence in this, and he didn't expect that it was just out of a friendship with Wang Xu, he didn't expect to be able to see such a good play, the actors are good, the script is good, and even Wang Xu's directing skills are very good in his eyes.
As a benchmark and monument to Chinese kung fu movies, Chen Long has always been very concerned about the development of kung fu movies, and hopes that a group of young actors can take over the team of their generation, in his own words, he will be 60 years old next year, how long can he fight, if the audience still wants to watch him fight as a 60-year-old man, and there is no other choice, this is not what he wants to see, this may be his personal pride and achievement, but it is indeed the indisputability of the entire Chinese film industry, and there is no successor.
Seeing Wu Jing, Zhang Zhen, Peng Yuyan, Zhang Jin, baby, Zhao Rongrong and other outstanding young people, Chen Long is duang-duang happy, and hopes that this movie can be successful from the bottom of his heart.
He, the general consultant of martial arts, is actually just a gimmick created by the crew with the help of his fame, he can show up on the day of the start-up, and then don't worry about it, he doesn't need to sit on the set now, he is not idle and has a lot of time, "The Lion of the Heavenly General" is still in the promotion period.
An hour later, Chen Long quietly left the set without informing Wang Xu, and he left with satisfaction. Wu Jing and Liu Hailong's fight scene is still going on, in fact, the first one has passed, but Wang Xu asked for two more to be kept, and the two actors also agreed that an important fight scene is to shoot a few more for the final editing. So the two filmed a morning of fighting, and a total of three were filmed.
This battle is a battle of dragons and tigers! Who wins and who loses, and who dies, which one is not clear in advance. In the end, Zhang Wei was defeated, defeated because his momentum was not as good as Wang Chao's, and he couldn't do Wang Chao's courage to see death as if he were at home, and he was born after death, and he stepped on a steel nail in the wooden board on the ring in the retreat.
"Five points of luck, five points of strength. I lost in your hands today, this is providential............" Zhang Wei gasped on the ground: "People are in the rivers and lakes, and they can't help themselves, and those who practice boxing die in the ring, it is not wronged......"
As he spoke, he stood up with all his strength, "I still have a wife and a five-year-old son and a seven-year-old daughter. I hope you can help me take care of them, I have been boxing all my life, and there are many enemies ......"
After saying this, Zhang Wei reluctantly moved to the edge of the deck, and suddenly jumped down with a force on his arm!
The loss of the reputation of the boxing master is equivalent to losing his life, although Zhang Wei was not killed, but he still chose to jump into the sea!
People are in the rivers and lakes, and they can't help themselves.
No matter how high your boxing skills are, it will be in vain.
Wang Chao grabbed a few steps to the edge of the deck, looking at the splash below, he did not have the joy of victory, and deep sadness welled up in his heart. (To be continued......)
