Chapter 053: Cultivating a Pair of Qilin Arms
It is not difficult to get Cheng Xiaodong, Lin Zhengying and other senior martial arts fingers to accept the fighting style and routines in the hurricane rescue and spy shadows.
It's not difficult, in this era, they are the best martial arts fingers in the world, including Hollywood. Even if the fighting style of the new era that has swept the world since the turn of the millennium, it is also a step by step learning from Hong Kong films and learning from Hong Kong Island martial arts.
Then integrate itself, combine science and technology, and summarize and sort it out.
In the end, the action director of Hong Kong films gradually declined, but Hollywood is getting more and more carried forward, that is, Wolf Warrior 2 or something, and the action director has also invited people from Hollywood to hire teams.
It can be said that Hollywood has used up "learning to apply" in action scenes.
It's still early for those, Ah Ying, Cheng sir and others, as the best first-class martial artists in the world film industry, accepted the fighting concept explained by Director Zhao, and quickly taught Xingzai, Ah Yun and Ah Yu.
Demonstrate, trick, react......
After teaching him hand in hand, Xingzi and the others also understood that they had almost learned, and a few people came again, before Cheng Xiaodong scratched his head and said, "This kind of fighting...... It's a bit ordinary. ”
It's not very pretty.
At least in the way the existing Hong Kong Island action fighting scenes are filmed, these action scenes are designed to be a bit sodiocre and ordinary.
It won't look good on the big screen like this.
Zhao Donghuai commanded the two cameras, and placed three cameras in the three corners of the big house, and explained, "Cheng sir, don't worry about those first, design one or two sets of actions, let Ah Ying be the protagonist, and Xingzi and the three of them should be beaten." ”
"You rehearse twice first, and when it's ready, we'll start shooting dailies."
"There are two ways to shoot dailies."
"When the filming is finished, take it to print, and then edit, everything is ready, I am asking you to watch the sample film, my next play, the scheduled A Ying will be the male lead, Cheng sir, if you don't mind, I still want to ask you to be a martial artist."
"The main action is efficient and realistic in actual combat, and when the movie starts, just add some beautiful fighting actions and martial arts routines occasionally to polish it."
"Ninety percent true, one percent polished at the right time."
There are two ways to shoot, one is to put three cameras on the slide in a triangle, shoot the same set of action scenes from all angles, and finally play editing, and the second is to wear a Steadicam handheld camera.
In the past two days, Zhao Donghuai had so many prestige points, and the simulation only consumed a hundred once a year, even if it was a bit nonsensical to "choose to increase the height by one centimeter at will", it was enough to choose seven or eight times.
The rest of them also made him brush up on the master-level hand-held photography physical skills.
In this, physical strength is very important, physical strength is poor, a full set of Steadicam film cameras, lenses, etc., fifty or sixty pounds up, you resist for a few minutes, ten minutes, or even several hours...... The weak chicken carried it down and scrapped it directly.
Skill is also very important, if the skill is not good, what kind of photography do you play?
Inviting a muscular man from the gym can also fight Steadicam, but how many muscular men are proficient in photography, or are they film-level and want to be released in theaters??
As for Steadicam, after these were released in New World, he asked someone to buy them at Ah Mei's house and shipped them back, after all, Zhao Donghuai also went to Ah Mei's house to do business and ran a few times.
The full set of equipment arrived only the day before yesterday.
After some time.
Lin Zhengying and Cheng Xiaodong designed the action, and under the three cameras to shoot the road, they hit three and cleanly overturned the three stars.
The first time was empty-handed overturning, and the second wave was the three of Xingzi holding weapons, and Lin Zhengying was barehanded.
Two rounds later, Zhao Donghuai walked back to the office, dressed in a full Taiwan Steadicam, and walked out with a video camera.
A group of actors and behind the scenes, all dumbfounded.
Cheng Xiaodong was shocked, "Director?? This is a camera dozens of pounds bigger, you ......."
Or after Xingzi was stunned for a few seconds, he was surprised, "It's Steadicam?" Camera stabilizer? I remember Rocky, who won the Oscar for Best Picture and Best Director in 1977, as well as Rocky, who was nominated for Oscar Winner and Actress, the most classic scene was shot by Steadicam. ”
Zhao Donghuai glanced at Xingzi in surprise, "Yes, it's Steadicam." ”
"Ah Ying, it's still the routine action of the three of them before when you hit Xingzai, do it again, turn off the camera in the corner this time, and I'll follow you with handheld photography."
Handheld photography images are easy to shake, shoot badly, viewers will feel dangling, shaking to vomit and nausea, even if it is a spy series, in fact, in a large theater, it is best to watch movies in 2D, don't watch 3D.
Because 3D can make you dizzy, the viewing experience is extremely poor.
That is, in later generations, mainland audiences like to watch 3D or are fooled into thinking that everything is fine in 3D, and then after the spy series, Hollywood only shows 2D, but specially formulates a 3D version for the mainland to cheat money.
In later generations, many TV dramas and online dramas ...... Looking at it, I feel that the camera is very shaky, dangling, and depressed.
Those are also all long shots shot by Steadicam, sports shots, why? The sports lens has always followed the protagonist, with a stronger sense of substitution, and the language such as what can breathe is a bit too literary and floating.
This is the way to imitate the texture of documentaries, enhance the sense of movement of the picture, create a deeper atmosphere, and strive to make the viewer feel immersive.
Audiences in the big Internet era, they don't feel anything new when they watch this kind of thing, and they don't feel like wool when they say that they are crazy, that is the vast majority of viewers in the Internet era, watching TV online, they have watched too many sports lenses and handheld photography.
Unprofessional audiences watch dramas every day, which one is holding which slider, and who can tell the difference? If you see too much and take it for granted, you naturally don't think it's surprising.
But it's the first time it has appeared on the screen, especially this kind of action fighting style, which is definitely a genre.
The spy series is not the first to use Steadicam, the Rocky who swept up various awards in Hollywood in 1977 as an example of Xingzi is the 90s Zhang Guoshi's has something to say, and there are also a lot of sports shots, which is also one of the signs of Steadicam entering the mainland.
Shake!
But the all-round integration of fighting action scenes, the spy series is almost the first, and in later action movies, the milestone significance is extremely obvious.
Of course, the premise of all this is that the photographer's hand should be steady, and the shot should be as stable as possible, and it will be embarrassing if it is not stable and shakes around.
No, Zhao Donghuai's first intermediate simulation would not have been comically practiced for a year after Steadicam.
Ordinary people can do an experiment, holding a bowl of rice in their hands and lifting it at a low altitude, and you don't have to walk and run for exercise, just hold it flat for a few minutes to see if the bowl of rice will shake around? Swinging around on different levels?
If you can't hold on to a bowl of rice, then a film camera with fifty or sixty pounds to start with...... Even if Steadicam can spread the power out of your waist, it's not just your arm strength.
You carry it for a day, and your waist is almost useless.
After the millennium, the Steadicam photographers and Dasi teachers of the major crews in the mainland are also professional, and they are a minority in the entire photographer group, not just any photographer.
If you don't practice a pair of unicorn arms, you can't play.
When Zhao Donghuai was ready, he said to a few people in the center of the room, "Ready?" Eksh! ”
All of a sudden, the three of Xingzai surrounded Lin Zhengying empty-handed from three directions as they had done with the previous three camera shots, and Ah Ying also moved, and then Zhao Donghuai was carrying Da Si and the camera, chasing Ah Ying to move and run together.
