Female action scenes are a problem that most directors avoid and are almost impossible to shoot well. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The difficulty is that actresses are far less easy to fiddle with than male actors in action scenes.

It is unthinkable for a qualified actor to have a career that does not include fitness, does not include the part of martial arts.

For most actresses, controlling their diet is still their first choice to stay in shape.

The actresses who only shoot literary dramas have always been the majority.

Even for professional female stuntmen, the fighting moves are often less standard and powerful than non-stand-in actors.

The biggest problem is that if you want the camera to look good and the picture is perfect, you can't switch between the stand-in and the actor's face often.

The long-term problem has led many fans to have a wrong concept, and women's figures and postures naturally decide that they can't shoot action scenes well.

This notion is of course wrong, and it is not necessary to prove Ning Yun's "Tales of the Night" that movies can't do it, games can.

There are countless classic female game characters, such as Bayonetta, Nier: Automata, and even the female assassins in Assassin's Creed.

Of course, at this moment, the ship girls and blood girls who fight in "Legend of the Night" are still very different from the characters in the game.

The sense of blow, the sense of power, there is no shortage of girls.

But unlike the game, because of the manipulation, the excessive pursuit of rhythm and the pursuit of equal pauses.

The biggest feature of the battle between the ship wolves and the blood girls is still the pursuit of real physical rules, relative strength and destruction, in line with the audience's intuitive experience, and no girl will fight in high heels.

Even a blood girl with super good balance can't wear any shoes that affect her balance for the sake of beauty during battle.

The Ship Wolves have a home field advantage, and they can use their strongest strength on the battleship, and they have sailors who worship them to help them fight.

The disadvantage is that these ship wolves, who have just merged with the battleship, seriously lack combat experience, and have never even fought.

Blood Girls are the opposite, they have a lot of combat experience, but the home field is not on their side at all, and it is worrying whether they fight or evacuate.

……

Serena, who jumped from the "Meteor", did not choose "Yamato" or "Musashi" as opponents "as planned", but chose a heavy cruiser close to the two strongest battleships.

At this time, the audience was so engrossed in watching the wonderful battle that they didn't quite understand Serena's choice, and it wasn't until they watched it repeatedly later that they figured out Serena's intentions.

For viewers who only watch the battle and don't think about it so much, as long as Serena has a wonderful battle, it doesn't make sense to choose.

When fighting the cruiser wolf and the sailors, Serena changed her style again, no longer the wide opening and furious of the Japanese army.

After drinking the perfect blood of "Taiyi", Serena's combat power increased again.

The audience knows very well that Serena's combat effectiveness in "Legend of the Night" is divided into three stages, at the beginning, after drinking Wang Pingzhang's blood, after drinking "Taiyi" blood.

The difference in strength in these three stages determines the difference in Serena's fighting style.

The "Rushing Spirit Sword Technique" when fighting with Lucian is a summary of Serena's hundreds of years of fighting, and on the premise of maximizing her personal strength, she incorporates enough inner beauty.

The battle with Goering's bodyguard werewolf is more flexible and swift, which is completely in line with the Bloodline style.

After drinking Wang Pingzhang's blood, the violent battle with the Japanese Army made the audience addicted.

But after in-depth analysis, it is not difficult to find that Selena has actually lost her blood style, and the reason is easy to speculate, her strength has increased too much, and she is not adaptable, and she can't master it all at once.

The violent and powerful way of fighting is to attack the enemy's shortcomings with one's own strengths.

After drinking the blood of "Taiyi", Serena's fighting style changed again, but this change left many viewers at a loss.

The way she fought with the sailors, especially with the beautiful ship wolf on the heavy cruiser, made many viewers puzzled.

It's not that it's not good-looking, it's not exciting, it's that it's incomprehensible.

It is neither the earliest swiftness and flexibility, nor the aesthetic charm, nor the uncontrollable power of the fury and wide opening and closing.

Simple moves that achieve incredible results every time.

The sailors are no match for her, but the ship wolves on the heavy cruiser don't seem to be much stronger.

Even if that girl seems to be powerful, her movements are fast and fierce, and she has more combat experience than other ship wolves.

If you are not able to teleport, you will be seriously injured by Serena's longsword once.

Even so, she didn't last long.

When Serena boarded another cruiser to fight the other wolf again, a part of the Chinese audience was suddenly surprised.

Serena's new way of fighting has a hint of "Dao", or "Dao rhyme".

No matter how fast her opponent is or how flashy her moves are, Serena can always defeat them in the easiest way.

When the audience is intellectually inexplicable, they are intuitively very comfortable.

By analogy, the "one-move defeat" that was once very popular in action movies is somewhat similar to Serena's fight at the moment.

The difference is that the protagonists of those movies who "defeat the enemy with one move" are all miscellaneous fish, Serena defeats the enemy with one move, and some miscellaneous fish and masters.

Her movements are all done with the shortest distance, not too fast, to break the rhythm and coherence of her opponent, and the timing is just right every time.

Tai Chi theory? Or something else?

It wasn't until the Blu-ray release of "Tales of the Night" that a small number of serious viewers, watching frame by frame, discovered the secret of Serena's movements.

From the very beginning, she echoed her opponents, as if she could predict them.

If all the opponent's movements are summed up in a complicated line, Serena's movements are a line that reaches the end point, the shortest.

At the end of the day, it's the application of mathematics.

The so-called "Tao rhyme" is also the feedback of mathematics in human movements.

In fact, the shortest line, implemented by the human body, is often not the most beautiful and does not look irritating.

But Ning Yun made Serena's movements pleasing to the eye through the continuous adjustment of the camera angle and movement trajectory, and had a "Tao rhyme".

Not to mention the ordinary action scenes designed by the martial arts instructor, even the best action scenes with the largest investment are far from them.

This is a fundamental difference in concept, Ning Yun broke the old barriers and took a new path from the foundation.

Serena's battle is consistent with the concept of the "action shooting system" shown before, but it is several points better.

To put it simply, this is neither something that an actor can shoot, nor a martial arts instructor and director can come up with, but a combination of mathematics and aesthetics.

The higher the level of combination, the better the action scenes will be, and the more in line with the audience's cognition.
