After dinner that day and a rest of about half an hour, Zhang Chengyuan gathered the actors together and led everyone to play the boxing technique he had just taught in the afternoon. After practicing for more than two hours, Zhang Chengyuan announced the end of today's practice and told everyone to gather here again at 9 o'clock tomorrow morning, and then he took Cheng Youli and left first.

As for what the actors will do next, whether to stay at the residence arranged by director Lee Jung-sub in Paju to rest, or take the car back to Seoul for the night, he doesn't bother to care, as long as he can show up in time tomorrow and maintain a good mental condition!

When Zhang Chengyuan left, another martial arts instructor, Wen Shicheng, hurriedly stepped forward and asked: "Director Zhang, if you just fight boxing every day, I'm afraid that the martial arts movements in the play will be too late to practice!" "In South Korea, martial arts instructors are also called directors, so Moon Se-seung calls Jang Sung-won that.

Zhang Chengyuan asked: "You mean the martial arts actions you told me just now that you designed for this drama?" Zhang Chengyuan only demonstrated the boxing technique for half an hour, and then used part of the Yuan Shen to continue to lead the students to practice, and he took out to discuss the movement design with Wen Shicheng.

After listening to Wen Shicheng's action design, Zhang Chengyuan was really a little disdainful, but he didn't rush to deny it in person, just listened casually, and dragged it until the actors' practice was over, and then he said: "Let me think again!" "I want to perfunctory the past. No, Wen Shicheng seemed to be too enthusiastic about his work, and when he saw that he wanted to leave after the lecture, he hurriedly caught up and asked again.

Wen Shicheng said: "Director Zhang, what do you think of this? After the actors have rested, I will take them to start practicing martial arts moves? ”

Zhang Chengyuan shook his head and said, "I said seniors." Are you too anxious? The main actors in the show just arrived today. You always have to give them time to get used to it. If you're feeling too idle. You can train stuntmen who are physically fit. Although they also practiced boxing with me just now, they have good physical fitness and strong resilience, and after resting for a while, they should be able to hold up if they practice the martial arts movements you designed. However, those main actors don't need to practice anymore. In addition, the action design of several of them needs to be discussed, if you have time. Design more difficult and good-looking action tricks. ”

Wen Shicheng responded: "I understand! If you have something to do, go first, and I'll leave it to me next. Confused by Zhang Chengyuan's Yuan Shen, although he still retains his own ideas, he is quite obedient to Zhang Chengyuan.

After dealing with Moon Se-seung, Jang Sung-won returned to Seoul with Sung You-ri. It's just over an hour's drive from Paju to Seoul, so they don't need to stay overnight in Paju unless necessary. In addition, when they drove on the road, Cheng Youli's assistant drove behind.

In the car, Cheng Youli asked, "I see other martial arts instructors asking actors to practice." They all practice the martial arts movements they designed as soon as they come up, but why do you let us practice boxing? ”

Zhang Chengyuan said proudly: "This is the difference in the realm." Those martial arts instructors just want to complete the tasks assigned by the director as required. What would be considered for anything else. What I was looking for was to shoot action scenes that shocked the Korean film and television industry, to be thrilling, exciting, dazzling and realistic.

This requires the actors, including the main actors and supporting actors, as long as they have a certain martial arts foundation, and their manners must make people feel different from ordinary people, and always show the atmosphere of martial artists, at least when filming. And it can also make more difficult and beautiful movements. In this way, we can shoot better fight scenes without special effects. "Due to the limited filming time and funds, the action scenes of "Quick Knife Hong Jitong" must not have used a few special effects shots.

"In addition, in my opinion, filming action scenes is similar to chopping wood, you have to sharpen the axe first, and you can get twice the result with half the effort when chopping wood. In the same way, I lay a good foundation for the martial arts of those actors first, and then it will be much easier to shoot action scenes. I don't just NG, and I don't shoot action scenes that aren't real at all. ”

Thinking of the action scenes filmed by some Korean TV people, Jang Sung-won doubted their sincerity when filming, such as the scene where one person kicked another person away, when the feet were still twenty or thirty centimeters away from the body, the body took the initiative to fly out, which really made people think that they were filming mythological dramas, but in fact they were filming modern urban fight scenes, and the photographer did not grasp the shooting angle well, so that the audience could easily see the flaws.

Zhang Chengyuan would never dare to shoot such an action scene, so as not to make people laugh and lose face.

Cheng Youli said: "Then practicing the boxing techniques you teach for a period of time can make ordinary people have a certain level of martial arts skills?" ”

Zhang Chengyuan said: "Sister Youli, you should know my ability, although I can't train ordinary people to become masters in a short period of time, but it is still possible to train with light movements, sensitive reactions, and abundant body, and these are enough for action scene shooting." ”

Cheng Youli said: "Cheng Yuan, is this punch really so effective?" But I didn't feel any change in my body. ”

"Sister Youli, after practicing for a while, you should be able to clearly feel the changes in your body, after all, your physical fitness is already high, so the effect of this punch on you will not be obvious. But for those actors, it's completely different, maybe tomorrow they will feel a significant change in their bodies, and then they may take the initiative to practice this boxing technique. ”

Returning to Seoul, he first sent Sung Yoori home, and then Jang Sung Won turned around the apartment, ran downstairs to Lin Jixiu's room and lingered with her for one night, and the next morning, he went to pick up Sung Yoori again, and then set off for Paju again.

At about half past 8, Zhang Chengyuan and Cheng Youli arrived at the martial arts training school, and found that all the actors, including the main actors, had already arrived, except for some stuntmen who looked a little tired, probably asked by Wen Shicheng to practice, the others were very energetic, and some of them had already begun to practice the boxing techniques taught by Zhang Chengyuan yesterday.

Zhang Chengyuan knew at a glance that the boxing techniques he taught had already had an effect, and these actors must have seen the benefits. I took the initiative to practice. I saw that everyone had come. Zhang Chengyuan doesn't talk nonsense. Directly call everyone over and immediately lead everyone to practice. After two punches and kicks, he secretly separated some of the Yuan Shen to continue to guide them, while he sat on a chair next to him, crossed Erlang's legs, and thought about the action design in the play. 's lazy appearance made Cheng Youli feel a little hateful when he saw it, not to mention what the other actors would think.

And Wen Shicheng saw that Zhang Chengyuan was idle. He moved a chair over, sat on Zhang Chengyuan's body, and discussed with Zhang Chengyuan about the new moves he came up with last night. This time, the moves he thought of were obviously much more interesting, and Zhang Chengyuan was interested in discussing with him. To be honest, because Zhang Chengyuan is less experienced and his skills and vision are too high, most of the movements he imagines are only suitable for him to perform, and if he lets other actors present practice it, he is afraid that it will take two or three years to practice before he can barely use it.

At this time. Wen Shicheng, who is more experienced and more practical in considering problems, discussed with Zhang Chengyuan. Zhang Chengyuan can also learn from each other's strengths and weaknesses and improve his own ideas, so as to design martial arts movements that are both good-looking and in line with the actual situation such as the quality of the actors and shooting equipment. After nearly three hours of deliberation, Zhang Chengyuan and Moon Shicheng roughly decided on the martial arts design of several action scenes, but some details will have to be perfected during the formal drill in the future.

After that, Zhang Chengyuan noticed that the physical strength of many actors had almost bottomed out, so he announced a temporary rest. Compared with the situation after practicing yesterday, the actors are obviously much better today, although they practiced for more than half an hour, they were not as tired as yesterday. After resting for about half an hour, seeing that the actors had recovered some strength, Zhang Chengyuan asked them to go to the cafeteria to eat, because it was already lunchtime.

When they arrived at the cafeteria, the actors unexpectedly found that today's lunch was much richer than yesterday's, with fish, meat, vegetables and fruits, and the portion was full, and they couldn't help but be a little happy, and many people thought to themselves: "This cold-faced coach doesn't seem to be too bad, at least in terms of eating, it's quite generous." ”

"Cold-faced coach" is what they call Zhang Chengyuan in private, because Zhang Chengyuan has never laughed at any of them so far, except for Cheng Youli.

However, Zhang Chengyuan is not as kind as they think, the reason why he let them eat well is just to let them have enough physical strength to cope with the next training. In addition, he did not pay for the extra food, so it does not mean that he is generous.

At lunch this time, Zhang Chengyuan sat with the main actors again, but few people paid attention to him, only Cha Xianjing and Meng Shichang chatted with him. Zhang Chengyuan still didn't care, and silently fed Cheng Youli next to him again. Cheng Youli didn't refuse, anyway, it was the same yesterday, and everyone was surprised.

After eating, and resting for about an hour, Jang Sung-won once again asked the actors to return to the gymnasium for training. This time, not only practiced boxing, but also let everyone do hanging Weiya exercises. Among the actors, those stuntmen have long been familiar with this kind of tightrope hanging movement and are quite proficient, so there is no need to do this exercise at this time, and the ones who really need to practice are the seven or eight main actors in this play, including Cheng Youli. As for Zhang Chengyuan, naturally he doesn't have to, he has practiced too many times when he was filming in Hollywood and China.

Since there are not many coercive equipment available for practice, only two sets, it is necessary to practice in batches, and others who have not yet had their turn to practice continue to practice boxing. Because Wen Shicheng was more skilled and professional in hanging Weiya than Zhang Chengyuan, Zhang Chengyuan asked Wen Shicheng to be in charge of this practice, and he continued to take other actors to practice boxing.

After taking it for a while, he once again left some of the Yuan Shen to guide the students, and then ran to the side again, but this time he was not lazy, nor did he consider the action design, but specifically to protect Cheng Youli. At this time, Cheng Youli was being hoisted by a steel wire in mid-air and swaying, and trying his best to maintain his body balance, which made Zhang Chengyuan worried, how could he have the heart to pretend to give the actors a boxing demonstration? In fact, there is his primordial spirit traction, and he doesn't need to demonstrate at all. He has demonstrated a few times before, just to avoid suspicion and criticism, since he is a coach, he has to pretend and do something.

At the moment, seeing that Cheng Youli had gone from panic to adaptation, he had been able to maintain his balance in the air and make a few simple movements, and Zhang Chengyuan gradually settled down.

After Cheng Youli slowly adapted, Wen Shicheng was not in a hurry to let Cheng Youli practice other more difficult movements, but let her adapt for more than ten minutes, and then let her go. Since Cheng Youli was very unfamiliar with hanging wires, Wen Shicheng didn't dare to let her do difficult actions all at once, so as not to have an accident. He plans to wait for Cheng Youli to fully adapt and find the feeling of hanging the tightrope, and then increase the difficulty a little, and then gradually until he can finally complete some difficult movements.

Compared with Zhang Chengyuan, he seems to be more experienced and more qualified for the coaching job, but it is a pity that he does not have Zhang Chengyuan's special skills. (To be continued......)
