As a top-level project, "Police Story" has composed of some of the best teams in the industry.

In particular, the martial arts instructor team, which has won more than a dozen Golden Bull Awards for [Best Action Design], is also quite prestigious internationally, from their apprentices, to spread all over many countries. If you don't have a friendship with Zhang Jingsheng, you may not be able to invite the other party.

After the winter solstice, snow began to fall in some areas in the north, and the water surface began to freeze.

The crew has sufficient funds and is not bad for money, and the action training venue is set in Qiong Province, where the climate is suitable, so there is no need to worry about the cold weather causing the training efficiency to decrease. There are not many actors with action scenes, two decent and two villains, a total of four, so it doesn't cost much.

Director Chen also came to Qiong Province and usually stayed in a hotel. During the day, I discussed the action design with the martial arts instructor, and at night, I discussed with the main creator how to shoot the best action scenes.

"Master Yuan, come and see this." Director Chen opened a video on the computer and asked the martial arts finger next to him to watch it.

Master Yuan looked over and found that the video scene was in a carpeted room, looking at the decoration, it looked like a hotel.

"The warehouse play part. Originally, Zhang Jiaju only had to compete with Wu Ze, and the competition was with Wu Ze's accomplice, but after reading this, the screenwriter said to try to see if he could let Wu Ze and Zhang Jiaju compete with guns and martial arts, and then Wu Ze defeated Zhang Jiaju in all directions, and Zhang Jiaju's morale would be even more frustrated. After Director Chen finished speaking, he clicked the play button of the video.

The video is an audition clip.

Zhang Jingsheng and a man wearing a half red mask acted in a warehouse play.

The video skips the previous part and goes straight to the two-person shooting session.

Zhang Jingsheng's gun-holding posture is very standard and he is well practiced, which is not surprising. To Master Yuan's surprise, Red Mask's gun-holding posture was not bad.

In a way, even better.

Draw the gun, aim, hold the gun in your right hand, support it with your left hand, three points and one line, three points in the right hand, and seven points in the left hand. The whole person presents a state of looseness and tightness.

Although the red mask was holding a mineral water bottle in his hand, he pulled the trigger at the moment of the "muzzle" pause.

What's more, after the "shooting", even the "muzzle" of the recoil raised and the reaction of the body were simulated.

[This is a real gun.] Master Yuan made a judgment in an instant, [and it is very familiar. 】

"Who is this?" Master Yuan thought that Director Chen asked him to watch this.

But it's not over in the video. Director Chen said: "Look at it again." ”

Inside, Zhang Jingsheng knelt on the ground with a dejected face, the red mask looked down at him, first took a deep breath excitedly, trembling as if he had eaten powder, and then the restless excitement in his eyes slowly dissipated, and finally looked at Zhang Jingsheng emptily, ready to leave.

But at this moment, Zhang Jingsheng suddenly jumped up from the ground and pounced on the red mask.

As agreed, Red Mask instantly shortened, grabbed Zhang Jingsheng's arm, and made an over-the-shoulder fall. The carpeted floor smacked dullly.

After the red mask fell, Zhang Jingsheng still didn't let go, and started other actions.

Master Yuan's eyes narrowed suddenly.

After watching the red mask and completing the armbar for Zhang Jingsheng, Master Yuan kept inhaling cold air as if he had finished tasting a spicy dish.

Director Chen watched the video, but his heart drifted to where he didn't know.

There has never been a role in making a movie, which actor has to be, but that kind of compromise can deceive others but can't deceive yourself. People who engage in art are always convinced of that kind of mysterious feeling.

He often thinks of Guan Chen, the madness of Guan Chen wearing a mask, and the calmness behind the madness. Sometimes I get tired of thinking about movies, and I fall asleep unconsciously, and in my dream, Wu Ze hijacked their group with a gun, took off his mask, and revealed Guan Chen's face. After waking up, Director Chen is often stunned, as if he is out of love.

The screenwriters were even more ruthless, and when they encountered a bottleneck in revising the script, they turned out this audition to find the feeling, thinking about how he would act if it was Guan Chen, and what tone he would use, so that Wu Ze was like coming to life, and inspiration was gushing out like a spring.

"Who is this? Why didn't Wu Ze use this person? Master Yuan asked half-jokingly and half-seriously, "It can't be that you have a criminal record on your body and finally go in, right?" ”

Director Chen sighed like a remembrance of the person who went in the air, "Don't worry about that yet," he waved his hand, pointed to the video and asked, "Can this fight be used in the movie?" ”

"It's hard." Master Yuan shook his head without thinking.

"Why?" Director Chen was a little surprised. He checked the information, and the armbar was not a particularly difficult move. It's hard to achieve in the ring, but it's not easy in the movie?

"Is the style wrong?" Director Chen asked.

Master Yuan thought for a while and said, "In this action, the real brilliance is not the armbar, but this person. ”

Director Chen didn't understand.

Master Yuan turned the mouse and pulled it to the armbar before it began.

Zhang Jingsheng rushed over, his red mask was short, he fell over his shoulder, grabbed Zhang Jingsheng's arm and was about to fall to the ground......

"Click." Master Yuan ordered a pause. "Look here."

He pointed to the screen, and more specifically, to the red mask's right hand.

Director Chen looked at it carefully, read it twice, and didn't understand.

Master Yuan had no choice but to explain, saying that the red mask pinched Zhang Jingsheng's wrist with his left hand, but the other hand quietly climbed up Zhang Jingsheng's fingers, and there was a folding movement, but finally stopped, not broken.

Director Chen blinked, he didn't expect this kind of detail.

Without waiting for him to sigh, Master Yuan said, "This is just the first one. ”

"The first one?" Director Chen was stunned, "Is there anything behind?" ”

Master Yuan didn't speak and continued to play.

Red Mask grabbed Zhang Jingsheng's arm and lay on the ground. The armbar needs to be fixed with both legs to hold the enemy's arm pulled in the arms, using the abdomen as a fulcrum, using the principle of lever to destroy. The movements of the red mask are very fluent, and before Zhang Jingsheng can calm down, the cross is about to be completed.

"Click." Pause again.

Master Yuan pointed to the red mask's leg and said that when the red mask stretched out his foot, it had a rather subtle momentum of kicking Zhang Jingsheng's throat, but he stopped and didn't kick.

"This is the second one, and there will be more to come." Master Yuan continued to flip back.

Director Chen was already stunned.

The third place is that after the red mask has completed the armbar, it has not completely relaxed. His calf, which was close to Zhang Jingsheng's mouth, was tight, and his eyes stared coldly at Zhang Jingsheng's mouth, as if as long as Zhang Jingsheng had the intention of biting and escaping, he would immediately break Zhang Jingsheng's arm.

Ordinary people boxing in the ring, how can they guard against this obvious foul cracking method.

The red mask seems to have completed a rim neatly, but there are three details that prove that this person is not good at black, and he is not a practitioner from the ring at all.

"This skill and eyes, I believe that he is the prototype of Wu Ze." Master Yuan smiled and asked, "Where did you find this person?" ”

Director Chen held his head and was speechless as a broken heart.

Master Yuan probably guessed something, shook his head, and answered Director Chen's initial question: "Huang Lun has no basic skills, and his physical condition is not particularly good. To practice this feeling, ten days is definitely not enough. can only let him be familiar with one action at a time, and finally shoot separately, and then cut together in the later stage. It's just that it will be broken a little bit in the end, and there is no such flow in the video. ”

With good editing, ordinary people can become martial arts masters. But in action movies, it's just a way to be lazy.

"The editing is too fragmented, and it will affect the fighting style of the other parts." Director Chen shook his head, and had to give up letting Huang Lun imitate Guan Chen's [play] move.

Huang Lun is the actor who walks the relationship.

To be honest, the level is average.

But Director Chen still has professionalism, even if he likes Guan Chen again, he will not turn his regret for Guan Chen's failure to ask for it into dissatisfaction with Huang Lun.

As with playing cards, the most important thing is the cards you actually hold in your hand. If you only care about regretting why you don't have a certain card, you will never win.

And Huang Lun knew that he came in through a relationship, he was very well-behaved, he didn't make trouble, he trained when he was trained, and he did whatever he wanted. They also get along well with Zhang Jingsheng.

I can only remember Guan Chen first, and I will have the opportunity to cooperate with him in the future.

Director Chen turned off the computer, summoned the main creator, and started a new day of discussion.

……

……

"Ahh Guan Chen sneezed.

Recently, there have been several days of sunny skies, but the temperature has plummeted.

Xie Jinzhu hurriedly took a padded jacket from the car and put it on Guan Chen.

In addition to Jiao Chen is his junior brother, Guan Chen is now a core member of the martial arts guidance team, and it is not okay to fall ill.

Guan Chen's fighting style designed by them, Xie Jinzhu had never seen it when he was filming before, but he felt that it was a new attempt, and he supported it. This feeling of fighting together with fellow disciples and brothers is more than ten years late for Xie Jinzhu. Even if the final attempt fails, the process is rewarding.

"Who's thinking about me?" Guan Chen sniffed and put on Xie Jinzhu's clothes. Originally, a set of tracksuits was enough for all the weather, but now it can't.

"It should be Teacher Xing." Xie Jinzhu said, "If you don't participate in the year-end drama in your class, he said it's okay, but it's a pity in my heart and I want to recommend you to those big companies." ”

"Forget it." Guan Chen shook his head, after entering those big companies, are those people willing to let him an actor suddenly run away to engage in martial arts instruction? Certainly not. Therefore, Guan Chen had already decided to stay in his own studio, [Xie Jinzhu Studio], and work for himself.

As for the [Class Year-end Drama], it is a project at the end of each year of Xing Yan's performance class.

Insiders teach classes, and networking is one of the products.

At the end of each year, Xing Yan will let everyone rehearse a play together with the class, and then rent a small theater for performance, there will be an audience that day, and he will also invite some familiar industry insiders to come and watch.

Guan Chen has been very busy since he worked part-time in the Cai Jiaban martial arts instructor team, so he said that he would not participate.

As a result, the morale of the other students in the class was lifted up at once. Originally, they were worried that with Guan Chen's level, the title of actor would inevitably fall on him, and when he performed, they were afraid that everyone's eyes would be taken away by Guan Chen, and others would have no chance to sign a contract at all.

Although Xing Yan was a pity, he couldn't resist Guan Chen, so he had to go with him.

To Guan Chen's surprise, Xiaoxiong said that she might not participate in the class drama anymore.

He thought that the bear had finally recognized his level and given up his unrealistic illusions. But Xiaoxiong said that because of the high hourly wage of part-time jobs at the end of the year, she took many jobs, so she did not have time for classes and rehearsals. She also said that she will definitely participate in next year's big drama, and she is also the heroine!

Guan Chen had no choice but to bless the bear.

Sometimes he thinks that maybe he can train Xiao Xiong to become a martial arts star, anyway, Xiao Xiong's strength is as great as Xiong, and martial arts actors don't have such high requirements for acting skills.

Since taking over the part-time job of martial arts in "Black Dragon 2", he has already preliminarily studied martial arts films.

Guan Chen reflected on the playing method he had designed before, and found that the real is real, but it is easy to put the movie into the category of "audiences under the age of fifteen are not allowed to watch alone". The director said that a large part of the idol underworld film "Black Jiaolong" needs audiences under the age of fifteen, so those parts that "can reflect the cruelty of the underworld" can only be regrettably eliminated.

He bought a laptop, and after returning home, he found a few martial arts movies to watch every night, and found that the routine of [acting] was not difficult, the design sense of "feeding moves" was obvious, and the actors almost had a short pause when they made physical contact. The action seems to be sharp, but the lethality is generally not enough, even if you are beaten and gasp for two breaths, you can be alive.

In fact, there are action movies that shoot [play], sports-themed ones, but they are not particularly good-looking.

Guan Chen didn't find an action design similar to Donnie Yen's movies or the "Spy Shadow" series, which takes into account both ornamentation and authenticity.

So Guan Chen found a large number of fighting competitions, picked out those wonderful moves, sorted them out, and showed them to Master Cai and his senior brother the next day. They will screen and pick out the movements that are good-looking and not difficult for ordinary people to practice, and then deform and combine, and replace them one by one according to the [rhythm] of previous martial arts films. Then Guan Chen relied on the classics in his memory according to his memory.

The [rhythm] of fighting is offensive or defensive, quick attack or counterattack, delay or avoidance, and each round has corresponding changes, which can be said to be a tactical arrangement.

The [rhythm] of martial arts films, like dramas, pays attention to foreshadowing, turns, and endings. Its opponent is the audience, and its main purpose is to guide the audience to relax and tighten their mood when watching the film.

Guan Chen followed them to design the action little by little, and then taught the actors together, when explaining to them, it was no longer [because of how the underworld is, so how this action is], but to say, what kind of psychology and character can be reflected in this action and body language.

Guan Chen learned boxing from Master Cai's brother and carried out action design with them, and after such an experience, Guan Chen felt that when he read the script and created the character, he could stand on a higher angle to analyze.

If he is asked to play Wu Ze in "Police Story" now, he will have a different understanding and design of those crimes in different orders.

It has been almost half a month since the audition for "Police Story". He said he was asked to wait for the notification, but nothing came.

Although Xie Jinzhu kept saying that there was still hope and hope, it was not until Huang Jin called and conveyed the director's regret, saying that there was already a candidate for the role of Wu Ze, Xie Jinzhu finally recognized the reality and looked very sad.

Qian Liangyi came over with a haggard face and said that it was the New Year, what was he doing. "With so many customers around, you are about to experience the happiest days of your life, why are you crying here. I'm going to cry and go to the toilet. ”

Xie Jinzhu wore sunglasses and ran to the toilet.

As the year approaches, all walks of life are getting busy.

The sign that the end of the year is approaching, in addition to the increase in red, is the rise in prices.

Some actors in the Cai Jiaban Training Center have begun to take leave, and they also know that this time is a good time to make money. And the crew also knew this, so they let them go.

Xie Jinzhu's studio on Wedding Street also ushered in the peak period of business because the end of the year came. In particular, Manager Qian is very good at using his brains, in addition to weddings, he is also willing to accept the list of annual meetings of various companies. As a result, the studio has become busy.

After Qian Liangyi entertained another pair of customers, he came to ask Xie Jinzhu why he was crying.

Guan Chen briefly told him about it.

"That's really a lack of morality." Qian Liangyi humanitarianly condemned a few words, but in fact he did not think so. Seeing Guan Chen's calm expression, he asked, "Why aren't you sad?" This is your first time auditioning, right? ”

When Xie Jinzhu failed in his first audition, he hid at home and cried like a worm.

"It's not over yet. Like water, my friend. "Guan Chen has watched a lot of action movies recently, and he only learns the essence of boxing, and often thinks about not doing a Jeet Kune Do here.

Qian Liangyi poured Guan Chen a glass of water.

Guan Chen said: "Senior brother said that the role has been decided, and as a result, there is some bullshit audition, which will be hated, so someone will definitely come out to do them." ”

Qian Liangyi shook his head: "He said something wrong. Zhang Jingsheng's crew, no one dares to do it. ”

"No one is engaged in Zhang Jingsheng, but he can engage in that predetermined person."

"It's all related households, it's settled, can the background be hard?" Qian Liangyi smiled, feeling that Guan Chen was as innocent as a child in some places.

"A bag like this. To raise a relationship, don't dismantle the backstage too simply. Guan Chen yawned and said, "As long as the owner feels that the pet he raises is half-hearted, he has fallen in love with others, and he has been played by others." Then falling out of favor is a high probability event. ”

Qian Liangyi gradually stopped smiling, and was silent for a long time: "...... Are you trying to get me to spread rumors? ”

"It's not your turn." Guan Chen waved his hand lazily, "There will be other people going." ”

Qian Liangyi asked who it was.

Guan Chen didn't say anything.

But what came to mind was the agent surnamed Liu who I met in the toilet that day.

……

……

Magic City, [Aidu Entertainment], underground parking lot.

“…… Wait until they join the group, take some photos of Huang Lun and the heroine's supporting actresses, buy hot searches, and say that they are in love, behaving intimately or something...... This kind of press release will only feel that the crew bought it for hype. By the time the puppy falls out of favor, things will be simple...... When the time comes, you will explode Huang Lun's history of struggle and put pressure on the crew, and you can follow up in time on the producer's side, and you can almost replace him...... Anyway, I'm going to pick up my daughter. ”
