Shao Yingying has always thought that performing a tough guy demeanor in front of the camera has become a kind of his true color, and he even thinks that many tough guys in Hollywood are too wooden in both action scenes and tough guy facial expressions, which does not conform to the aesthetics of Chinese people, and sometimes the performance is too much, which can make people see the rough eyes and cannot recall carefully, perhaps, this is the reason why Hollywood action movies are called popcorn movies, which means that the first time you watch it, you lose the desire to watch it the second time.

However, it was really not until he played it himself that he realized that sometimes this is what Hollywood action movie directors are pursuing, and there are many things in the way of acting here that you can never expect, and the most difficult thing is that the performance makes the audience enjoy watching it, which is definitely a high requirement in today's blockbuster film market.

In the studio of Millennium Pictures, surrounded by green scenery, the pirates are facing the camera and asking for ransom, this scene should have been to the scene after the lines, the 'death squad' member on the high platform Duff went berserk, using a grenade to smash the body of the pirate leader, and then the two sides held guns against each other, and finally rescued the hostages, at this time, Douff wanted to hang the pirates in the way of the old pirates, causing the 'death squads' civil unrest.

In this scene, Shao Yingying has two very important scenes, the first scene is that Sylvester Stallone failed to negotiate with the pirates and smashed all the lights with a gun, and then, the members of the 'death squad' carried out a very enjoyable massacre of the pirates under thermal imaging glasses, at this time, it was not the pirates who were killed and the hostages were rescued, but Yang played by Shao Yingying jumped directly from the upstairs. Rush down where the bullets fly and go head-to-head with the pirates.

Syllegro said, "Here, I want to see your ferocity, understand?" Shao? ”

The second shot is when Duff is about to hang the pirate. Shao Yingying rushed up to stop Du Fu and wanted to fight Du Fu alone, but was put down by Du Fu, and then Yin played by Li Lianjie put a gun on Du Fu's head, and Stallone asked Du Fu to let Shao go.

However, there was a big problem in this scene during the audition, and Shao Yingying had already tried very hard to show Xiàn fierceness at the request of Sylvester Stallone. As a result, Stallone's reply was: "Not enough, Shao, I want you to be more serious." I want you to be more ferocious, don't take this as a audition, you have to do my best to know if you can play the scale with all of us. ”

During the audition, all the big names except Arnold and Bruce Willis were there, and Jason, Duff, Terry, Stallone, and Li Lianjie were all big names accompanying Shao Yingying. Hear Stallone's words. Shao Yingying's face was red at that time, he was not the first brother on the set, how could he not know that the audition was the best opportunity for the director to see if the actors could perform with their partners in a unified rhythm? And how can it not be fully committed in such a situation?

But even so, Stallone was still not satisfied, and when he tried out for the second time, Shao Yingying was still yelled at by Stallone: "Shao, you have to know that you are not here to mess around, I want to see a person who performs with heart." I don't even feel the slightest psychological burden of what you give me! ”

Sylvester Stallone has changed, and Sylvester in the studio makes people feel like he is about to kill in "First Blood".

Shao Yingying knew that he couldn't hold on to it. He knew that if he continued to try so endlessly, all Hollywood pairings would look at him in a strange light.

He found Stallone and asked: "Sylvester, I've tried very hard to show the quality of a special soldier, I firmly believe that I played a special soldier's indifference to life, fearlessness under the shuttle of bullets, I don't understand why you are not satisfied, I want to know the reason, in order to change the current state." ”

"Why didn't you say it earlier?" After listening to Shao Yingying's words, the first thing Stallone said when he opened his mouth was: "You must communicate with me in every scene you will shoot in the future." ”

Then he continued: "The 'yang' I want doesn't need you to show indifference and fearlessness to these messy things, I want a madman, who will show extreme excitement in a dangerous environment, as long as you perform this, your fierceness will naturally appear...... God, how can the two of us have such a big misunderstanding of this character? ”

Shao Yingying's eyes widened, he thought that the 'madness' shown in the script information he got was in behavior, isn't he going to play a tough guy who is crazy in behavior and very similar to Li Lianjie's brother in personality? The tough guys in the past impression are Jason Stein in "Very Human Trafficker", Stallone in "First Blood", and Arnold Schwarzenegger in "Terminator".

"You think about it, and I hope you can surprise us when you're ready."

Stallone left, and the entire crew rested for five minutes because of Shao Yingying.

At this time, Shao Yingying instead figured out that this is fundamentally the difference caused by the difference between Eastern and Western cultures, in the impression of Chinese people, a serial killer is already considered a madman, but in the environment of the audience in the United States, there are '911 terrorist attacks', 'sniper rifle serial murders', and 'campus shootings' The world they live in is much crazier than the world we live in, and many times the madness in our eyes has happened many times in them, and people have long lost their feelings!

Stallone actually has a very simple requirement for Shao Yingying, that is, he hopes to make every character in the "The Expendables" movie have a distinct personality!

Some twisted Duffs, Randy Kudrow, who is very verbose when he mentions his ears, Jason Statham, who is still a little funny, and Stallone who is full of dominance, plus a 'yang' and an assassin-like 'yin' who is excited to shuttle through bullets, each character is very face-painted in front of all the audience. This is the best way to balance the fans of all parties in a movie where the stars are gathered, and only by slightly distinguishing the screen images of these people and regrouping them in a situation that is acceptable to the fans can achieve the effect that satisfies all parties.

Otherwise, it is impossible for Forister Whitaker, the replacement of Wesley Snipes, who missed the role of Hale Caesar, to be replaced by Terry Cruise in the opposition of fans.

"Sylvester." The moment Shao Yingying stood in front of Stallone again, he was full of confidence. The previous mistake was not because of acting problems, but because of a misunderstanding of the character, in the script. The role of Yang was added later, and Stallone did not describe it too much, and Shao Yingying could only paste it according to Li Lianjie's character when he only had words. If someone has read foreign novels, they will find a very interesting phenomenon, that is, when the author substitutes the protagonist, he will describe all the psychological characteristics of the protagonist in a certain event, but will never use words to express what kind of person this is, so according to the difference in personal understanding. There will surely be a thousand Hamlets in the hearts of a thousand people. The script that Shao Yingying got is like this, there are many descriptions, just like describing Li Lianjie. There is no fixed statement, it seems that this kind of person is very suitable for any kind of character, after all, a cold person can also express a state of madness.

"I'm ready."

Stallone glanced at Shao Yingying, and said very sternly: "Do you think we need to communicate?" ”

Shao Yingying was dressed in black. With a beret, he said, "I'm sure I understand exactly what you mean. ”

“OK。 Then the filming will officially begin. Stallone didn't talk nonsense, and shouted: "Everyone prepare!" ”

The leading actors changed their clothes from the studio and stepped into the separately built attic in the studio, even Sylvester Stallone himself took his place, and the assistant director shouted: "Let's go!" ”

In the dim light of the studio, the black pirate faced the camera and said viciously: "We have been holding them for a long time, three months!" He deliberately uttered this sentence in very non-standard American English to show that the distance of the mission was not in the United States: "It's been too long, and some of them have to pay the price." Right now! ”

"You would have had a chance to redeem them, but you don't care about your own people. You don't want them, and we don't care! The more the black people talked, the more excited they became, and the surrounding performers were already cheering in the excited state of the black people, and the black people grabbed the hostages who were surrounded in the middle of the pirate AK47: "All the blood they shed is because of you." ”

At this moment, the black man swung his sword......

Touch!

At the moment when the black man was about to swing his knife to kill the hostage, a package fell in the air, and when the package fell to the ground and smashed his body, the pirate was completely in a state of tension, and everyone raised their guns and began to aim indiscriminately, at this time, countless infrared sights had been aimed at every position on their bodies in a cross-section.

"Stop! Don't shoot! ”

“NO！”

The pirate leader tried his best to stop his men in a nervous state, he knew that as soon as the gun rang out, their hostage advantage would be wiped out, and now, they still had to talk.

Raising his hand, he saw that the infrared light points followed closely along the movements of his hands, as if he would be shot through his palms as long as there was any suspicious movement, and slowly spread his hands, .......and put them down, Shao Yingying was stunned when he saw this, this is different from the movies he has watched, in the movie, the black leader should beat his chest with his hand to show barbarism, could it be that even a small shrimp that everyone knows in the movie has suddenly improved a lot in front of many big names?

"Don't shoot, who are you?" The black pirate leader asked.

"Your money is here, take the hostages." Stallone's voice, which was accustomed to seeing big scenes and could be calm in any situation, came.

"How much?"

"Three million."

"You're too late, we want five million!"

At this time, the camera swept all the members of the death squad, starting from Li Lianjie and Shao Yingying, to Terry and Jason Statham, and when the camera swept to the main character, that is, Jason, he spoke: "I knew that this was a group of greedy pirates." ”

"This is the last warning, take the money and leave."

The pirate suddenly began to get excited, and under the aim of countless infrared rays, he roared, "Give us enough of them, now!" ”

Suddenly, the main camera focuses on Duff, who freaks out of the noise made by the pirates, swings his gun expertly, and says, "WHAT-A-SHIT!" ”

As the gun was aimed at the pirate, Stallone shouted, "NO! ”

At this time, the camera suddenly pointed at Shao Yingying, it's his turn!

Touch! Gunshots rang out.

Duff, who pulled the trigger, was very proud, the scene in the original movie was that the pirate was blown up and the upper and lower body were separated, and the upper body flew out, but during the live shooting, the lower body of the pirate leader was replaced with green pants with ropes to wrap the lower body, and then dragged away, and the ultimatum guò special effects completed the effect described above.

Shao Yingying needs to shoot constantly on both sides, and jump down the moment Stallone shatters all the light bulbs.

As for the massacre under the thermal imaging glasses, it is completely a simulated scene of special effects, and in the scene that has been changed now, the highlight of this scene is the action scene where Shao Yingying jumps down and punches the pirates.

Swish.

Smoke grenades were thrown from the upper floors one by one by the death squads, and when the white smoke rose and the sight of the pirates returning fire was obscured, Stallone was the first to stand up, pointing his gun at the light bulb on the wall and strafing away.

Dada

The moment the bomb next to the light bulb exploded, Stallone hid back under cover, and the entire death squad put on thermal imaging glasses, and for a while, everyone stood up from the bunker with a brush, and with the help of thermal imaging glasses, a massacre began.

In the feature film, the footage of the pirate being slaughtered under the thermal imaging glasses will be inserted here, but at this moment, what Shao Yingying has to do is to hold on to the cover with one hand and jump from the position around the second floor!

Sou!

Shao Yingying jumped down from the stairs, he knew that he was safe and would not fall and get hurt, because there was a cushion underneath that was accurately calculated, and there would be no camera to shoot him when he fell, he would only be photographed in this shot at the moment when he was about to land.

Stallone shouted loudly after Shao Yingying jumped: "Ceasefire!" Cease fire! ”

Then he said to Li Lianjie: "What's wrong with your brother, can't he wait for us to finish the strafing before rushing down?" ”

Li Lianjie shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly: "When he was on the battlefield, he was a guy who firmly believed that bullets were intimate lovers, and this kind of person never believed that any bullet would hurt him." ”

Jason Statham said, "No harm, a kiss is enough to kill him." ”

So, a group of old men stood on the second floor with guns and began to watch Shao Yingxing's performance, and his action scene was officially opened in "The Expendables". (To be continued......)
