Chapter 112: How to shoot a "small-budget blockbuster".
The footage of the first day of filming of "The Great Sage Chapter" is obviously a disaster! This kind of disaster and monster scene has always had a huge attraction and topicality.
"King Kong", "Godzilla", "Ultraman", "Jurassic Park", "Attack on Titan" ...... This series of films, although the monsters are different, the common characteristics are all to bring blood and disasters to people, which is easy to make the audience feel sad about "things hurting their kind", which in turn leads to the audience's expectations for the appearance of heroes.
Heroes don't necessarily need to be the protagonists, the key has already created such bad "demons" and "monsters" in front of them, and what the audience is looking forward to is often to defeat this vicious monster!
The front creates this atmosphere and feelings, and the back naturally must be satisfied!
This is the process of "**"!
Frequent plot and drama conflicts, ** overlapping, this is the core element of a successful commercial film! The rhythm of the plot of Wang Qinian's movie is designed according to this logic!
Next, the hero who saves the villagers is not the protagonist!
The current protagonist is obviously very weak. In the future, when the protagonist grows into a big hero, it will be a big ** that can satisfy the audience more than now!
……
The middle-aged man takes the protagonist to the back hill of the village. Inside a thatched house, there are several acres of vegetable fields outside the cottage, which is not much different from the living environment of ordinary villagers.
But when I knocked on the door and entered the house, there was a monkey living in the house!
This comparison before and after entering the door is obviously also to create an accident!
Constantly let the audience "didn't expect it", this is also Wang Qinian's purpose!
An old monkey, dressed like a human, dressed in clothes, talking to people, and holding a book to read.
The furnishings in the interior are very simple, but it can be known that this monkey has become a sperm.
This mysterious monkey is played by Huang Haibo.
Hai Bo is also Wang Qinian's old buddy, in the last play, he played the mysterious man, and he was the grandfather who gave the protagonist a golden finger. This drama is also such a role.
The whole body is covered with monkey hair, and the monkey hair on the face is relatively small.
His eyebrows and beard were white, and the makeup artist painted him with many wrinkles like orange peels, making him look like the monkey was a lot older.
"Monkey Prince!" The middle-aged man knelt down and said, "A pig demon has broken into the village, eating people unscrupulously, and taking the liberty to disturb the Monkey Gong Qing Xiu......"
"Got it!" Huang Haibo played the old monkey and interrupted the middle-aged man's words, "It's okay, the old bones haven't fought for a long time, it's time to move the muscles and bones!" ”
He had already finished his lines, and the props team was ready, after his words.
Pull the wire rope!
Huang Haibo is tied with a number of wire ropes, which is the traditional technique of making martial arts and kung fu movies in the Chinese film industry - "Hanging Weiya".
This skill, even after more than 1o years, when the computer special effects are very advanced, is still an enduring traditional craft!
The old monkey jumped over and clicked his feet on both walls several times in succession.
I have jumped on the roof beam, and I have reached out and pulled it!
One of the roof beams was torn off, and the one that was used as the roof beam was actually an iron rod about two meters long.
Blockbusters with small costs are often used to cooperate with camera movement skills and props to dig out the details in the lens. The Hong Kong movies of that year were typical "small-budget blockbusters". With a budget of several millions, it can compete with tens of millions of dollars of Hollywood movies for the Asian market.
In the past, kung fu movies and martial arts films were all "small-budget blockbusters"!
This shot was shot perfectly!
"Pass, pass, rest! Shoot the next shot tomorrow! Wang Qinian nodded with satisfaction.
……
Then, the old monkey played by Huang Haibo ran towards the village like a fly in a martial arts movie!
Bamboo forest!
Fly through the bamboo forest!
Different from the light skills in traditional martial arts films, the old monkey uses both hands and feet. There are often many climbing ape movements in the trees and the ground, which makes this picture more monkey-flavored and has some new ideas!
In fact, in later Hollywood movies, martial arts instruction was both useful and innovative.
For example, in movies such as "X-Men", "Wolverine" and so on. It takes in some flashy martial arts moves, but reincorporates some new twists.
For example, when running, not only do you use movements similar to light skills, but you also use some movements that are used by both hands and feet when the beasts are running!
This action design adds wildness and visual impact!
Let the original rule-following martial arts films have more new innovations!
Wang Qinian used these ideas!
In addition, there are often huge monsters in cartoons, and fights between small opponents. This contrast will also cause visual impact!
Wang Qinian, naturally, has also been used!
The pig demon is more than ten meters tall, and the old monkey is less than one and a half meters tall, this is the fight between opponents with a huge height gap!
The battle between monsters is to release the demon power first!
If it is a monster with a huge difference in strength, the demon power is strong, which is enough to deter the demon you, so that the other party either surrenders, or retreats in the face of difficulties!
But the old monkey demon's demon power is not much stronger than that pig demon!
After releasing the demon power to provoke, the pig demon gave up eating people and began to reach out to grab the old monkey!
The old monkey deftly flew into the air more than ten meters high!
Then, he fell on the pig demon's arm, followed the pig demon's arm, stepped on it again and again, and climbed on the pig demon's shoulder!
The pig demon was furious and tried to open his mouth to bite him!
The old monkey demon deftly avoided it, crossed into the air, and with the help of gravity, from top to bottom, hundreds of catties of iron rods smashed into the pig's head.
"Bump!"
Although it was hit, the pig demon was only slightly shocked, and immediately grabbed the monkey demon in mid-air with both palms in a rage!
The pig demon is huge in size and infinite in strength!
The monkey demon is smaller, more flexible, and has a lot of combat experience.
The battle between two youkai of different sizes is, without a doubt, very gorgeous!
The huge pig demon movement is slow, and each blow has more than tens of thousands of catties of strength!
But the monkey demon is high and high! High in the sky, it's like a flying dance!
Wang Qinian devised an action to let the monkey played by Huang Haibo, every time he attacked, he flew into the air, his body kept rotating, and he swirled like a small spinning top, and then swung a stick!
"Little Spinning Top" is naturally also Wang Qinian's undisciplined reference, borrowing from the battle scenes in a popular anime later. Whether this action is scientific or not is not mentioned, but it is both beautiful and creative!
It's just that Huang Haibo, who played the old monkey, was stunned while hanging in the air!
Finally, in the battle, the old monkey successfully smashed the pig-headed demon's eyes with an iron rod. After that, it was powerful again, hitting the pig monster's lower, anus and other flaws.
The copper-skinned pig demon finally, because of the realization, the old monkey is powerful.
So, the pig demon escaped......
Among the rescued villagers, there was a burst of cheers.
Later, someone realized that the save zài who saved them was also a monster!
A few who knew the old monkey had the courage to come forward and communicate with the old monkey, and took out some cloth, salt, and books as a reward! The other villagers, on the other hand, were afraid of the old monkeys.
The protagonist witnesses the old monkey defeating the pig demon, so he falls into worship of the old monkey. I hope to learn from the old monkey and kill the pig demon to avenge my mother!
And the protagonist has no relatives due to the death of his parents, so the old monkey takes him in.
In fact, the old monkey is also very lonely, although he wants to get close to the villagers, but after all, the villagers regard him as a demon and suspect that he has also eaten people, so no one wants to contact him unless it is absolutely necessary.
And the only one who takes the initiative to live with the old monkey is the protagonist!
Of course, for the protagonist who wants to learn art, the old monkey is also helpless. Monster cultivation, is by instinct, inadvertently ate some natural treasures, or was ignited by the gods (big demons), in short, because of the accidental formation of the inner dan, can breathe and absorb the essence of the sun and the moon, the aura of heaven and earth, and become a monster!
Human beings cultivating to become immortals is another system, and they need the teaching and enlightenment of immortals and Buddhas before they can cultivate and attain the Tao.
The old monkey can't teach the protagonist to cultivate, he can only teach some combat skills!
……
The main character, Sun Monkey, has finally grown up.
The actor has been replaced by Li Jie!
Next, the protagonist Sun Monkey, who learned some martial arts from the old monkey demon, found the pig demon to take revenge, but naturally he was vulnerable and almost died.
Fortunately, the old monkey demon has been following the protagonist, so, even if the protagonist is rescued.
Of course, the old monkey demon ate a punch from the vengeful pig demon and was seriously injured.
Originally, the life span of the old monkey demon was almost at the end of its life, and in order to save the protagonist, after being seriously injured, it was even more aging.
The grandson monkey and the old monkey had a grandfather-like affection, hoping that the old monkey would eat him and prolong his life.
Of course, the old monkey is willing to risk his life and save the protagonist, so naturally it is impossible to eat him. After that, the old monkey comes and tells some stories to the main character.
The story of the Reiming Stone Monkey......
Of course, this is the bridge section where the old man gave the golden finger. After giving away the golden finger, this over-the-top old man naturally died.
Bury the old man!
The protagonist Sun Monkey began to know.,How to turn from a human into a demon.。
So, despite the hardships, I climbed Huaguo Mountain, and along the way, I encountered wolves on the ground, goshawks in the sky, and monsters.
But in short, there is no danger...... Found that "Nuwa Mending Heaven Stone"!
Later, the protagonist finally climbs into the stone and is reshaped by Nuwa's body.
Next, after sucking up the aura in Nuwa's Mending Heaven Stone, the protagonist is hatched like a chick breaking out of an egg!
The protagonist Sun Monkey who hatched began to have a lot of monkey hair on his body, and he also grew a tail! Therefore, he, the grandson monkey, really began to become a monkey - Lingming Stone Monkey!
Of course, he is still far from the Monkey King, because he doesn't have those supernatural powers later!
However, after the protagonist Sun Monkey picked up the iron rod of the old monkey demon, his combat effectiveness was no weaker than that of the old monkey demon.
Therefore, the protagonist once again seeks revenge on the pig demon and successfully kills the pig demon!
Revenge, of course, is also a kind of drama in the conflict!
However, after taking revenge, when he returned to the village with the head of the pig demon, he was regarded as a monster by the villagers...... Because the villagers are afraid of him, they don't see him as one kind!
So, after the protagonist sacrificed his mother and the old monkey with a pig's head, he went to Huaguo Mountain......
