Chapter 45: The Birth of Kung Fu Movies (1)
And another person in the southern Yunzi phase is Ding Mo Estate. Ding Mocun is Li Shiqun's old boss, so most of the work of plotting against Ding Mocun was done by Li Shiqun.
In 1927, Ding Mochun became a clerk in the Investigation Division of the Organization Department of the Central Committee of the Kuomintang. In order to cooperate with the Northern Expedition, the section chief Chen Lifu sent Ding Mo Estate to Shanghai to instigate an uprising of three warships against the Beiyang warlords. It has been reused by Chen Lifu. In 1934, Chiang Kai-shek set up the "Survey and Statistics Bureau" in the Military Commission, and Ding Mochun was recommended by Chen Lifu to be the director of the Third Division, in charge of post and telecommunications inspection. Quite reused.
The Director of the Second Division, Dai Li, was quite dissatisfied with the reuse of Ding Mo Estate, so he reported the embezzlement of public funds in Ding Mo Estate. Ding Mo Estate was pursued, and soon after, the three places he was in charge were disbanded. Ding Mo Estate hung up an idle post as a major general of the Military Committee to retire at home.
After this incident, Ding Mochun naturally had a grudge against the old Kuomintang boss and Dai Li, who was in charge of the military command, and Li Shiqun only expressed the meaning of the Japanese for Nanzao Yunzi, and Ding Mochun gladly accepted it. And in Japan, when Kenji Dohihara learned that Ding Mo Estate had surrendered, he was also overjoyed. From time to time, he often made clouds in the south and contacted Ding Mo Estate.
At this time, Li Shiqun had already chosen the address of the new intelligence agency, which was No. 76 North of Sifeier Road, Huxiji! The location of Jisfeier Road is also a famous villa area in Shanghai. No. 74 to the east and No. 75 across the road are all garden houses built by foreigners who purchased land from the Daotai Yamen, and the house number is the white house on a blue background of the public concession.
No. 76 Jisfeier Road North, before the fall of Shanghai, was the residence of Chen Tiaoyuan, chairman of Anhui Province, with a western-style building, a new-style bungalow, and a large garden. Such a spacious area is much more magnificent than the villa I bought for the rest of my life, and it is enough to be transformed into a demon cave that accommodates all kinds of sins.
**************
Although he had read the information of the notorious "No. 76" in later generations, at this time, he had no time to take care of the establishment of "No. 76". He is now busy designing martial arts moves with Chen Tian on the set of Xinhua Company!
It stands to reason that the gang of people under Zhang Shankun are all old actors who have been immersed in Shanghai Tang since the beginning of the movie, and it should not be difficult to make a movie with the characteristics of this era. However, when it came time to film, I found a problem for the rest of my life - people in this era have never seen action movies at all!
Although in this era, from the new martial arts of the lord of Huanzhu Mansion to the "Legend of Jianghu Heroes" by Pingjiang Buxiao, martial arts novels have been established. In addition, the section "Burning Red Lotus Temple" in Pingjiang Buxiaosheng's "The Legend of Jianghu Heroes" was also adapted into a movie, and became famous and popular in Shanghai. However, in the eyes of the rest of his life, the action movies of this era are still a blank.
Of course, there are martial arts actions in "The Burning of the Red Lotus Temple", but the dramatic meaning in the actors' performances is too heavy. This side raised his sword and slashed, and the other side fell to the ground. It's not even next to each other, it's really fake. The source of this art form is the high symbolization of traditional Chinese Peking Opera. The fights of the martial artists in Peking Opera are just two people working together very well. This side of the scene turned a few heels, and the soldiers over there held a few flags, which can represent thousands of troops.
It's not that such an art form is bad. Rather, this kind of highly abstract thing is suitable for stage drama, but not for film with visual representation as the basic unit! And this kind of abstract theatrical performance has continued to the tenth century of the later generations, even if it is a divine drama that has been popular for decades in later generations, such as "The Legend of the New White Lady" and Weng Meiling's version of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", there are still traces of this.
As the assistant director of "The Great Wall Will Never Fall" for the rest of his life, he was used to watching action movies in later generations, and when he saw such martial arts scenes, he really couldn't bear it. asked Bu Wancang to reshoot!
As a result, Bu Wancang was furious, and in the end, he could only let Zhang Shankun mediate. Zhang Shankun mediated and mediated, and the two people who were obsessed with their artistic taste were unwilling to compromise, so they made a bet with Bu Wancang for the rest of their lives: "Old Bu! It's not that I don't give you face, or else, let's call all these people in the crew, and Chen Tian and I will shoot it according to my ideas, and let everyone comment on which shooting method is better! Do you think it's okay? ”
Bu Wancang rolled his eyes: "I'm afraid you won't make it?" I'd like to see what you can do if you're so lively! ”
Yu Sheng smiled. Bu Wancang is a good person, and he understands movies, but some concepts are indeed too ahead of his time, and he still can't understand them.
Yu Sheng called Chen Tian and whispered to Chen Tian, Chen Tian frowned and said: "Although it used to be acting, if you want to shoot like this, it will be purely misleading to the audience!" ”
The rest of his life also rolled his eyes, saying that when he met this person with a too high moral bottom line, many things were really difficult to do: "I said, Brother Chen, you even sprinkled several bags of lime!" Are you still afraid of showing off your skills? ”
"I'm in a hurry with you when you mention the lime again!" Although Chen Tian sniped Zhou Liu's Wuyi and other Zodiac traitors, and used lime very easily, he still felt that he had violated the patriarch's legacy, and it was very embarrassing.
And Bu Wancang, Zhang Shankun and others, after watching Yu Sheng and Chen Tian muttering a few words, Yu Sheng said to Bu Wancang: "Old Bu, get ready to start filming!" This one is Huo Yuanjia vs. Cheng Tianxiao! ”
Although I like the "Hero Huo Yuanjia" for the rest of my life, as a post-85 generation who has been impacted by the Internet era, I still feel that the people in "Hero Huo Yuanjia" look a little dirty, the shooting is not handsome enough, and the fighting scenes also have a lot to improve.
Therefore, in addition to the plot of "The Great Wall Will Never Fall", which is not much different from the later "Hero Huo Yuanjia", the details will not follow the original drama at all! Especially the martial arts details!
Although Bu Wancang has differences with the rest of his life in terms of film concepts, he takes his work very seriously. The makeup artist and stylist quickly dressed Yu Sheng and Chen Tian as Huo Yuanjia and Cheng Tianxiao, and the set staff also quickly set up the exterior scene.
Then, Chen Tian and Yu Sheng went to the middle of the field to take a stop! The momentum of decades of hard work is like two opposite peaks! Although Bu Wancang doesn't understand the concept of the film for the rest of his life, he is still extremely sensitive to visual impact! Seeing this picture, his spirit perked up and he said, "Okay!" Preparation! Begin! ”
Because it is an experimental shooting of the film concept, there is no dialogue in this scene. For the rest of his life, he hugged Chen Tian and threw his fist, and then he stepped forward and punched out!
