Chapter 166: Amazing Characters
Chedun Film and Television Base.
Zhou Xingchi was in a bad mood, and the crew hadn't shot a single usable shot for three days.
The crew started work, and at the end of the day, if they didn't do anything, they would have to cost hundreds of thousands.
Now Hung Jinbao is striking again, and Wuxing is completely paralyzed again.
This movie is a work that he has painstakingly worked on and intends to use to test the waters of the mainland market again, and he takes it very seriously.
But he can't draw, and he can't depict the images in his mind in a storyboard manuscript like other directors, and can only express them in words and actions.
This is very inefficient, and there is no way to accurately express what he means.
Therefore, in the filming of action scenes, the problem is becoming more and more prominent.
In the fight of this movie, his target is "Chinese Heroes".
But the fighting scenes of "Chinese Heroes" are relatively fake, mainly relying on the stacking of special effects.
What he wants is to add top-level special effects to the kung fu of hard bridges and hard horses, and every punch and kick has the feeling of being truly angry.
In short, it's about having a comic sense.
This feeling was tried when he filmed "Shaolin Football".
It's just that the core of that drama is not kung fu itself, and a lot of scenes are given to football.
In this new play, he wants to make a pure kung fu movie and shoot the kung fu world of his fantasy.
Zhou Xingchi was also helpless about Hung Jinbao's strike.
Hung Jinbao, a martial artist who is accustomed to hard bridges and hard horses, and has to be famous with every punch and kick, will also habitually consider authenticity when designing actions.
For the kind of scene that Zhou Xingchi wanted to pluck the strings and fly with swords, Hong Jinbao was very resistant psychologically.
In Hung Jinbao's understanding, what Zhou Xingchi wants is for two blind people to hold the piano and pose like Lin Qingxia in "Six-Fingered Piano Demon", then pluck the strings, and then use computer stunts to do some visual effects.
But what kind of martial arts instruction is needed for that kind of play?
Wouldn't it be over if you use the computer to do the post-production directly!
That's why Hong Jinbao got angry and thought that Zhou Xingchi was humiliating him.
This kind of scene like a fighting method doesn't need an action guide of his level at all!
There is no way to communicate and solve the problem of this concept, even if Hong Jinbao does not strike, Zhou Xingchi does not plan to use him.
Dong Zhihua, who played the fried ghost, approached him before and said that he would introduce an action director to him, named Mu Rong, a professional boxer who had just reached the finals of the World Fighting Competition.
Zhou Xingchi hadn't watched TV for several years, but he had seen this fighter named Mu Rong in the newspapers.
Looking at the introduction of the newspaper, this Mu Rong seems to be very capable of fighting.
But it's a pity that what he wants is not to be able to fight, but to be able to match his ideas.
Therefore, he didn't have much hope for this Mu Rong.
Thinking about it, Zhou Xingchi picked up his mobile phone, found a number, and dialed it.
The phone rang several times before it was connected.
"Hello? Xing Ye is looking for me! ”
On the other end of the phone, Yuan Bin's voice came out.
"Brother Bin, 100,000 urgent, save the scene!"
Zhou Xingchi opened his mouth for help.
"Save what? That new play of yours? ”
Yuan Bin asked suspiciously: "Didn't you invite the Hong family class?" ”
"Big Brother designed a play that was different from what I thought."
Zhou Xingchi helplessly explained: "He is leaving now, I don't know where to go, my entire crew is stopped here, and there is no way to start work."
I originally wanted to invite Brother Dong, but he doesn't have a schedule now, so I came to you, and now only you can help me. ”
At the beginning of preparing the crew, Zhou Xingchi planned to find Cheng Xiaodong to be the action director.
His last play "Shaolin Football" was the action design that Cheng Xiaodong did for him.
Although there are only a few martial arts scenes in that play, judging from the feelings of cooperation and the final effect of the movie, Cheng Xiaodong can still grasp the effect he wants.
It's a pity that he set up the project a little late, and Cheng Xiaodong's schedule this year is full, so in desperation, he found the Hong family class.
"No!"
Yuan Bin explained: "I'm also filming, I can't leave!" ”
"Boss, help! Saving the scene is like fighting a fire! ”
Zhou Xingchi asked for help.
"It's... I'll figure it out! ”
Yuan Bin pondered.
This is the first time Zhou Xingchi has begged him here, if he can't handle it, it will be too shameless.
After thinking for a while, he said, "So be it! I know there's someone who can help you out, but I don't know if he's been available lately. ”
"Really? Who is it? ”
Zhou Xingchi asked curiously.
"His name is Mu Rong, and he is the one who reached the K-1 World Championship finals, and he has been very popular recently."
Yuan Bin explained.
"Huh? It's him? ”
Zhou Xingchi was taken aback.
"You've heard of him, haven't you?"
Yuan Bin explained with a smile: "I have worked with him before, and his action design is very set, much stronger than me, let me help you ask!" ”
"Uh..."
Zhou Xingchi hesitated a little, and said with a strange expression: "If it is him, there is no need to ask." ”
"What's wrong?"
Yuan Bin was stunned: "You have a grudge against him?" ”
"Nope."
Zhou Xingchi explained: "I have a friend who knows him and has invited him over. ”
“……”
Yuan Bin was speechless, and complained for a while: "You have invited him, why are you calling me?" ”
"Is he powerful?"
Zhou Xingchi was puzzled: "But isn't he a professional boxer?" He also knows how to direct? ”
"Master Xing, how long has it been since you watched the news?"
Yuan Bin helplessly explained: "People's main business is actors, and martial arts is just a personal hobby, let me tell you this!" In traditional kung fu, let alone my master, even Li Lianjie may not know as much as him! ”
"Really?"
Zhou Xingchi was really shocked this time.
Li Lianjie is a well-known kung fu living dictionary in the circle, this guy named Mu Rong is actually stronger than Li Lianjie?
"Of course! Since he's here to help you, don't worry, if he can't handle it, I can't do it! ”
Yuan Bin's side was noisy, and he raised his voice and said, "Master Xing, I'm going to start work here, hang up first!" ”
The phone hung up, and Zhou Xingchi listened to the busy tone on the phone, a little dazed.
That Mu Rong, is he so powerful?
Looking at the busy field workers and crew members, Zhou Xingchi found a few people and inquired.
As a result, everyone he asked had heard of Mu Rong.
"Mu Rong? Of course I've heard of it! I just watched his semi-finals the other day, and it's amazing! ”
"I'm watching his "Dragon Babu", he is also very good at acting!"
"It's still very beautiful! His costume is the best-looking I've ever seen! ”
Listening to the staff's heated discussions, Zhou Xingchi was thoughtful.
Looks like he's got an amazing character back!
"Director, Brother Hua is back."
The assistant ran to report to him.
Zhou Xingchi looked at the door of the set, and sure enough, he saw Dong Zhihua coming over, followed by a beautiful boy.
"Director."
Dong Zhihua came to Zhou Xingchi and introduced him with a smile: "This is Mu Rong I introduced to you." ”
"Hello, hello, lucky!"
Zhou Xingchi warmly invited Mu Rong to sit down.
Looking at his eager appearance, Dong Zhihua was a little surprised.
When he mentioned Mu Rong to Zhou Xingchi before, Zhou Xingchi was not so enthusiastic!
