Chapter 194: Nalan Yuanshu
This kind of admiration has actually accumulated since the time of "Once Upon a Time: Top Gun".
Compared with Xiao Ran's previous movies, the Wong Fei Hung series is too classic, and it can also make all the crew members think about it when filming.
Although it has been hundreds of years since that painful history, and China's status in the world has begun to get higher and higher, and it has gradually become the core country of the whole world.
But even so, we should not forget the humiliating history of JƬ, and the script written by Xiao Ran, in addition to the good-looking kung fu martial arts clips, also has a lot of content about Xiao Ran's reflection on history and the Chinese, and many of the contents can't help but feel admired.
It's like the conversation scene between Lu Haodong and Huang Feihong that is being filmed now.
In fact, Lu Haodong's explanation of God just corresponds to the scene where the White Lotus Sect saw the death of the real person of the Nine Palaces and their faith was shattered, and it also corresponded to the title of this movie, that is, men should be self-reliant!
Whether it is an individual or an entire nation, we must be self-reliant, rather than relying on the benevolence of the enemy or the illusory gods, just like Lu Haodong said, the entire Chinese nation has wasted too much time, so that at that time, the Manchu government, which had been closed to the country for many years, was directly opened by guns, attracting the major powers to carve up and invade the country!
The arrangement of the whole movie is very exquisite, and the martial arts scenes will be mixed with literary dramas as the promotion of the plot, so that the audience will feel that all the fights are just right when watching them, and they feel incisive!
At this moment, it is getting dark. While all the actors who played the White Lotus Cultists were preparing on the spot, Xiao Ran began to arrange for the filming of the martial arts scene where the White Lotus Cultists invaded the consulate.
The exquisite martial arts design made all the dragon and tiger martial artists at the shooting site feel extremely shocked when they saw it, and it was much better than the bamboo ladder battle in the first part, which made these martial arts teams admire Xiao Ran.
In addition to the very good control of the literary drama, I didn't expect Xiao Ran to be so thoughtful when he designed the martial arts action on the spot, and many fights have surpassed ordinary kung fu movies!
"The position of the staircase, the place of the handrail, the wooden orb cut it with a knife, but it must be kept fixed, as soon as the White Lotus Cultists try to escape. Dad, you fly up and kick the ball. Then he used coercion to hang this round ball and pull it over, directly hit a White Lotus cultist in the face, and then vomited blood, understand? ā
Xiao Ran commanded methodically at the scene. This effect was that he said it and discussed it with his father Xiao Yuanshan. Xiao Yuanshan gave him the construction yƬ.
After making a few kung fu movies. Xiao Ran has already understood that the fights in some kung fu movies look gorgeous and smooth, but when they are actually filmed, they are very time-consuming. And once a link goes wrong, a few hours of hard work may be wasted.
Fortunately, his father Xiao Yuanshan had filmed with Yuan Baye, the strongest martial arts instructor in China, before, because both of them were martial arts idiots, so they quickly established a good relationship, and Baye also taught Xiao Yuanshan a lot of practical things.
Now Xiao Yuanshan is not only the protagonist, but also helps Xiao Ran control the martial arts scenes, and when filming "The Legend of Ip Man" before, Xiao Yuanshan also relied on the storyboard script given by Xiao Ran and then served as the martial arts instructor himself, completely controlling the aspect of the martial arts scene on the scene.
"Click!"
Under Xiao Ran's design, even the fight scenes were filmed very smoothly, at this time, taking advantage of the complete cast and crew, Xiao Ran saw that the time was still early, so he gave an order: "The scene of the consulate is temporarily completed, and now we are rushing to shoot the scene of Huang Feihong making a big fuss and fighting with the real people of the Nine Palaces, and find someone to wake up Lei Xiaolong, everyone has worked hard." ā
ā¦ā¦
The filming location of Chaotianguan has been set before, and it is actually in Huaxia Film and Television City, so the transfer is also very fast.
The fight scene in Chaotianguan is one of the top three scenes in the whole movie, so the entire crew is very cautious and serious, and although the Jiugong real person played by Lei Xiaolong does not have too many scenes, it is at least a more playful role.
Lu Haodong: "Look at these people, they don't even want their lives for the sake of the mud bodhisattva!" ā
Huang Feihong: "Brother Haodong, let's go!" ā
Huang Feihong pulled Lu Haodong to avoid those crazy White Lotus cultists temporarily, in the martial arts scene here, Huang Feihong's umbrella is more subtle and fierce than the first part, trying to wake up those superstitious White Lotus cultists, but it is still useless, because they always believe in the so-called divine power to protect the body!
So Lu Haodong also began to be disappointed in them: "If everyone is like this, then how can they be saved?" Where can you go? Can't go...... If all men were like them, the nation would not be saved......"
At this time, the two of them really realized how powerful the power of superstition and ignorance was, so much so that Huang Feihong also began to show an image of madness, intending to use the form of poison to attack poison, claiming to be the Emperor Zhenwu, and using the same superstitious method to force the real people of Jiugong to come out!
The focus of the final shooting is naturally Huang Feihong vs. Jiugong real people.
Xiao Yuanshan and Lei Xiaolong's master and apprentice faced off, starting from the altar set up by the Eight Immortals Table, to the Nantianmen archway on the roof, and finally with the long cloth as the altar, the fight was inextricably linked, and people couldn't help but applaud.
ā¦ā¦
"Xiao Ran, the next scene of "Huang Feihong's Boy Should Be Self-Improvement" should be short of a very important supporting role, right?"
During the filming process, Xiao Yuanshan couldn't help but remind his son that it seemed that an important supporting role in the script had not yet found a suitable actor.
"Dad, you're talking about Nalan Yuanshu, right?"
In fact, this character also made Xiao Ran a little embarrassed, in this movie, Nalan Yuanshu is the only opponent with the same strength as Huang Feihong, and he is good at the four-door stick method and cloth stick!
And the scenes in the movie are not small, representing the power representatives of the Qing court, because he is a Manchu, which means that he will never give up arresting the revolutionary party.
And Huang Feihong is under the influence of Sun Yat-sen and Lu Haodong, although he may not be able to understand why he wants to overthrow the entire decadent old forces, but he also understands the importance of time and knows that the entire nation has reached a situation where it must be changed, so he will assist Lu Haodong and others, and for this reason, he has to stand on the opposite side of Nalan Yuanshu.
"I'll play this role myself."
Xiao Ran sat in the director's chair and said to his father.
In fact, now Xiao Ran can't find a suitable character to play Nalan Yuanshu, originally the temperament of the senior brother Lei Xiaohu is more in line with this character, but in order to give him a chance to break through, he let him play Liang Kuan, so naturally he can't play other roles.
And this role once made Xiao Ran very emotional and regretful after watching the movie, because Nalan Yuanshu is indeed a talent, he is already a commander at a young age, even if he negotiates with foreigners, he does not have the submissive appearance of ordinary local officials, he can communicate fluently in foreign language, not humble but not arrogant.
In addition, his own kung fu is also very good, it can be said that he is on par with Huang Feihong, and he can see the situation clearly, but as he himself said, he has a body of martial arts, and it is still difficult to support it alone.
Moreover, his own identity also means that he can only choose to be loyal to the corrupt and ignorant Qing court, and stand on the opposite side of Huang Feihong and become the funeral of the old era, which can only be said to be in the rivers and lakes, and he can't help himself!
"That's for the best, I know you've put a lot of thought into this script!"
Xiao Yuanshan felt very sorry for his son, although he didn't know that this script was just copied by Xiao Ran according to the script of his previous life, because the script of this movie in his previous life had been written very well and very satisfactorily, Xiao Ran naturally didn't feel that there was anything to revise, so he completely used it.
However, in terms of filming, Xiao Ran is indeed very hard, because of his love for this script, Xiao Ran is very persistent in many places, and he is not perfunctory, filming a few big scenes of the White Lotus Sect with hundreds of extras alone, and he hurried to work until midnight to completely shoot the two scenes in Chaotianguan.
confirmed that he played Nalan Yuanshu himself, and this movie has another place to promote.
That is the pinnacle battle of Nalan Yuanshu VS Huang Feihong, and it is also the showdown between Xiao Yuanshan and Xiao Ran's father and son in a movie!
Therefore, the focus of the next shooting is the rivalry between the two.
For example, in the stick battle in the Admiral's Yamen, Xiao Ran filmed for most of the day to receive the goods, and in the end, the father and son were tired and half dead, but they had to continue to shoot the literary and drama part of the consulate, that is, Huang Feihong learned that Nalan Yuanshu killed the counselor, and Huang Feihong used Liang Kuan to pretend to be Lu Haodong to hide Nalan Yuanshu, but he could only go to the White Lotus Sect's view of Chaotian.
In the end, there is the last fight scene between the two people in the salted shrimp bar, which is also the most interesting martial arts scene in the whole movie, in addition to the long sticks outside, Nalan Yuanshu even dispatched the cloth stick at the end, a weapon that has never appeared in any martial arts movie, which is an imaginary form of weapon.
In the end, Huang Feihong won with a few luck elements, and a sharp piece of wood that was cracked cut cut into Nalan Yuanshu's neck, and finally Nalan Yuanshu spurted blood and died.
However, Xiao Ran, who had finished spurting blood, still got up and shouted: "Click! ā
Several martial arts scenes were filmed for a total of four days, all of which were very exquisite martial arts designs, which made many martial artists admire Xiao Ran's advanced ideas and superb imagination, and this drama actually played a stronger role in its literary drama, and that kind of historical reflection and humanistic feelings are a height that many movies can't reach at all.
The most noteworthy thing is the soundtrack of the movie, but fortunately, Xiao Ran has a strong memory, so after watching it in the previous life, the classic soundtrack in the movie was firmly remembered in Xiao Ran's mind, so it was quickly reprocessed by Xiao Ran, and appeared several times in the consulate and the last foreign boat, which was very exciting and emotional.
