On the set of Red Alert, Alex's voice resounded throughout the camp.

"Shi Jian! You're making the wrong move again, and when you hit, your legs are raised higher and your arms are more stretched! Don't be too stiff and don't look aesthetically pleasing at all! ”

It turns out that sometimes historical celebrities are not omnipotent.

Alex fell in love with Shi Jian, on the one hand, because Shi Jian had made movies and had basic acting experience. On the other hand, Shi Jian himself knows kung fu, and he has practiced it since he was a child.

Yes, Shi Jian is an old actor and has nothing to say about acting. Alex did all the requests he made, but the problem was that as soon as the fight scene arrived, Shi Jian kept dropping the chain, which made people feel extremely annoyed.

This situation has happened a lot, and Alex can't help but scold his mother!

The reason is that Shi Jian's kung fu is too good and he has practiced too deeply, so that when he fights, he has a sense of being a board and a glance, and it does not meet the violent beauty required by Alex at all. Even though the action was in place, after watching the final effect in front of the camera, Alex still felt very wrong.

It turned out that Shi Jian's kung fu was practiced too deeply, so that when he fought, he would subconsciously have some subtle small movements and habitual exertion. This is a conditioned reflex, and if you really want to change it, it's really embarrassing! But if you don't change it, then Alex's head will blow up, this style of play is too old-fashioned, and there is no violent beauty at all, which is very ruining the style of the movie.

Because Alex was so furious, even Karen and Richard didn't dare to get close to him.

Seeing that this is not the way to go, his own mood is not in the state. So I had to shout stop!

“CUT！” Alex shouted, and said weakly: "Let's get here today first, and then continue filming after everyone adjusts!" ”

The so-called adjustment, everyone knows who Alex refers to, and now only Shi Jian has not adjusted. Such a blow made the veteran actor in his early forties feel very uncomfortable, and he almost lost the confidence to continue filming.

Although Shi Jian is in his forties this year, Asians don't look very old, and he is well maintained, so he looks in his thirties in the movie. He has been practicing martial arts all year round. The muscles on his body are still very strong. When fighting, he is also flexible and quick to react.

The problem is, he just can't play the feeling Alex wants!

After all the people dispersed, Shi Jian took the initiative to find Alex. I want the two of them to talk together. What I didn't expect was. Alex's first words were, "Come." Let me fight you! ”

Alex knows kung fu, which may be a very new thing to outsiders. There will even be doubts. But for the people in the filming crew, this matter has long been known, and everyone in the crew knows that Alex knows kung fu.

When filming "Red Dawn", Alex and Bruce Lee fought every morning, and in the evening when they had time. Every time I see it, I don't lose or win, but after more times, everyone knows that this is Alex teaching Bruce Lee how to fight.

Shi Jian naturally knew the truth, but he was still a little surprised, and thought, "Is it coming so soon?" ”

Long before joining the crew, he talked to Bruce Lee, and also talked about the level of kung fu, Bruce Lee shook his head and said that he couldn't see through Alex's kung fu. Because Bruce Lee himself has never let Alex use his strength, every time he is a little more powerful in kung fu, he can feel that Alex has become more powerful.

In the face of Alex's invitation, Shi Jian was not hypocritical, nor did he feel that the other party was a young man in his twenties, taking advantage of his age, but took off his coat and put on Huang Feihong's classic starting style.

Alex smiled slightly, didn't make any gestures, and walked straight over. Raising his hand is a punch, and then a kick, the force is not very large, just what Shi Jian can resist.

The two of them fought like this, Shi Jian was still fighting in a disciplined manner at the beginning, but later he was forced to be in a hurry and fought badly.

This made Shi Jian feel a little surprised, he had never fought like this before.

In other words, no one has been able to force him to be so embarrassed, he himself belongs to the Shaolin faction, Shi Jian was weak and sickly in his youth, so he practiced martial arts to strengthen his body, studied for nine years, learned Nan Shaolin boxing, praying mantis boxing, so he established a kung fu foundation. Shi Jian played the role of Huang Feihong's opponent in the first Wong Fei Hung film "Whip the Wind and Extinguish the Candle", showing his true character as a villain, and since then he has established the status of "traitor Jian".

In his more than 20 years of film career, Shi Jian has mostly been entrusted with villain roles. His chilling signature evil laugh was often emulated by many actors in later films.

As a smart actor, Shi Jian quickly understood that this was Alex's attempt to make him forget the actions and psychological habits of the characters he had played before.

After the two of them hit the hardest, Shi Jian almost relied on instinctive reaction to resist Alex's attack, but fortunately, the other party's force did not exceed the range he could resist, otherwise he would have been knocked to the ground.

When Shi Jian was out of breath, Alex stopped attacking and asked, "Is it okay now?" I'll rehearse with you for today's fight scene! ”

"Good! Wait until I catch my breath! ”

The next fight was not a real fight. Because Shi Jian's mind and body were relaxed, even if he was allowed to really fight, he couldn't fight, and now he practiced with Alex according to the requirements of the script, and soon found his senses.

"Yes, that's right!" Alex fought Shi Jian while encouraging: "That's it, it doesn't require how lethal it is, nor how practical it is, as long as it looks powerful." ”

With the help of Alex, Shi Jian slowly walked out of the shadow in his heart at the beginning, in fact, he was smart and hard-working, because he was suddenly hit by a pie falling from the sky, so he especially wanted to show his most powerful side. It's just that the shooting methods and working methods in Hong Kong and Hollywood are very different, so he can't adapt to it all of a sudden, and the more anxious he is, the worse his performance will be after he is anxious.

After such a vicious circle, the result will only get worse and worse!

Fortunately, Alex shouted to stop first today, and then had a man-to-man, fist-to-fist battle with Shi Jian. Shi Jian's psychological defense was relaxed a lot, and then through rehearsing and playing together, Shi Jian adapted to the Hollywood working environment, and then Shi Jian really entered the working state.

After seeing Shi Jian's performance getting better and better, Alex was finally relieved, he waved his hand to stop the sparring, and then said: "Today you go back and have a good night's rest, and tomorrow you have to make up for the work progress that has been pulled down in the past few days." ’

"Well, that's good! I understand how to shoot the scene! Shi Jian nodded heavily, and then said to Alex: "Xie Lu Xie Director!" Thank you! ”

Alex smiled and didn't say anything, and was about to turn around and leave when Shi Jian suddenly asked, "Director!" I want to ask you one thing, I don't know if it's okay or not? ”

"Huh? What's the matter? ”

"I just want to ask you, why did Lu choose me to play this role, you must know that there are still many people in Hong Kong actors who are better than me!"

"Ha Luha, that's the problem." Alex smiled, then said to him seriously, "It's easy, because you're better than them!" Work harder than them! It's just a little bit of luck missing, so now your luck is here, it's up to you to grasp it! ”

After Shi Jian listened, he thought about it thoughtfully, and finally seemed to have figured out something, so he said happily to Alex: "I know what I said, Director Xie Luxi!" Thank you! ”

Alex is really not wrong in what he said, Shi Jian has been able to insist on playing the villain role for decades, without any complaints about it, and he has tried his best to play his role well, you can see how his own heart is. If Shi Jian had a little luck at the beginning, maybe his fame would not be much worse than that of other actors who played decent protagonists.

After solving Shi Jian's psychological barrier, the filming work suddenly became much smoother.

Employees who have worked with Alex to make movies all know that he likes to make movies in one go, and if it goes well, sometimes he can arrange a long plot in one day, and if he gets stuck, he may toss for days for a shot.

However, under normal circumstances, Alex's filming is very smooth, because the big and small details in the movie are already in his mind, and there will be no mistakes. Filming a movie is actually a co-ordination and organization work, if the person in charge knows what he wants and what kind of effect he wants to shoot, then the work is like a rehearsal, and he can pass it once.

Those film crews that shoot over and over again are actually not in place to coordinate their work, and the people above are not very clear about what effect they want, so they can only think while shooting, let the actors play on their own or have sudden inspiration during filming, revise the script to and fro, toss the actors, and toss the investment of the film company.

If you can finally toss out a classic and earn back the investment, then it's okay to say, but once you don't toss the song out, it really makes investors want to cry without tears, and the director has a bad reputation, and it will be difficult to get investment.

Alex is different, he is the boss of his own company, and it is not a problem to invest or anything. In addition, he thought about it before the start of filming, and the movies he shot were basically within the expected time and funds, and they were not exceeded.

As long as he is willing to make movies, the whole DreamWorks is very excited, because they all know the skills of their bosses, and they will definitely make money by following him, and if they join Alex's crew, this year's year-end bonus will definitely be guaranteed.

In this way, the enthusiasm of the crew and staff is almost like Alex's doppelganger, and the work arranged will be completed soon.

In this way, the filming of "Red Alert" was completed little by little, and it was soon able to be filmed and released. (To be continued......)
