Speaking of the martial arts instructor of "Embroidered Spring Knife", it is actually Gao Fei's old friend Dong Wei. 訙

Previously, when filming "Strange Man Yizhimei", the two were already designing tricks for "Embroidered Spring Knife" when they were fine.

Therefore, in the later stage of the filming of "Strange Man Yizhimei", in fact, Hu Ge and Wang Qianyuan had already practiced tricks under the arrangement of Wu Ershan.

After all, if the actor's action foundation is good, ten or twenty moves can be made in one shot. And because the actor is in the battle himself, whether it is a short shot with a medium and close shot, or a seamless long shot, you can use it freely.

But when the actor doesn't have the conditions, he can only make up for it with short shots, and he can only make four or five moves in one shot.

Most of the shots are also short shots based on medium and close-up shots, and they are seamlessly connected or something, and there is a high probability that they can't be used, because Wu Ti will be easy to expose.

This is also why martial arts movies and action movies are only filmed by those few action stars, in fact, a large part of it is because of this.

But then again, a good movement foundation can indeed make Wu Zhi more free and bold in action design. 訙

You must know that many times, it's not that the younger generation of martial arts can't design good moves, but that the current young students can't play.

Even if WIA's technology is becoming more and more advanced, after using WIA, the effect will be very different from that made by the actors themselves.

At least in terms of impact and sense of power, WIA's involvement can only play a negative role.

But today's Goofy is an exception.

Although he is learning to be fancy, among the young generation of actors in the mainland, he should be the most capable of playing.

This is also the reason why Dong Wei likes to cooperate with Gao Fei more and more.

Not to mention anything else, the set of actions he designed at the beginning of "Embroidered Spring Knife", among the young generation of male stars, it is estimated that only Gao Fei can do it. 訙

How exaggerated is this action?

Hehe, at the beginning, when Dong Wei drew the schematic diagram to Wu Ershan, Wu Ershan didn't dare to think about the long lens.

After all, as long as you are in the film industry, who doesn't know that long shots, handheld photography, and fast-moving shots are the most troublesome.

But who would have thought that Dong Wei and Gao Fei would actually fuse these three big troubles together!

After listening to their design, Wu Ershan was reluctant to kill the idea. Because he knows in his heart that the more difficult the crew shoots, sometimes the most comfortable shots for the audience to watch.

And this opening scene designed by Dong Wei, after listening to it, he just thought about it and felt enjoyable.

…… 訙

In other words, the book "Embroidered Spring Knife" was originally only the second half of the script written by Gao Fei, but Gao Fei made a cut later.

And at the beginning of the second half of the story, it opens with Jinyiwei arresting the eunuchs.

The first few were okay, because most of the people who were arrested were civil officials, and they had no power to resist, so Jinyiwei easily got it.

But when the three brothers were refining and arresting the former Jinyi Weidu commander Xu Xianchun, something went wrong.

Although this senior official of Jinyiwei has not been fighting on the front line for a long time, he is very clear about Jinyiwei's means.

Therefore, when the brocade guard quietly went upstairs to prepare for arrest, he had already escaped with the help of the guards.

But here's the hard part of the problem! 訙

Because in Dong Wei's design, when Gao Fei sensed that something was wrong and reluctantly kicked the door open, he immediately found that Xu Xianchun jumped out of the window and left.

Therefore, he had to jump from the second floor without hesitation, and chase after him, and finally caught the tail of the group after chasing into a dead end and climbing over a high wall.

In Dong Wei's imagination, from the moment Gao Fei kicked in the door, this long shot should have begun.

As a result, the difficulty of this shot simply increases exponentially.

Because it is not only the actors who are tested, but also the directors and cinematographers.

At the very least, they have to face the question of how they should capture it if Goofy does it?

This problem once gave the crew a headache for Wu Ershan. 訙

He even considered whether to split Goofy's jump from the second floor and the chase behind him into two shots.

After all, if you don't want to take one shot to the end of this series of actions, then the difficulty will indeed be reduced a lot.

Of course, the impact of the lens will inevitably be reduced a lot!

And it is precisely because of this that Wu Ershan has been entangled.

In the end, Han Qiming, the director of photography of the crew, came up with a solution, that is, to give the photographer Weiya!

So when filming this scene, a very funny scene appeared.

Gao Fei, an actor, jumped from a two-meter-high attic without the slightest protection, but instead tied a safety rope to the staff behind him to act as a simple deceleration device to ensure that the camera was controllable. 訙

However, in this way, although the most impactful shots were captured, there were problems in the connection.

Because of the staff helping the photographer untie the safety rope, Gao Fei couldn't stand still, but once he moved according to Gao Fei, the photographer couldn't keep up.

After a lot of work, Dong Wei thought that Gao Fei could pose a little after jumping down, so that the picture could look better, and secondly, it could also give the photographer time to unbuckle by the way.

After listening to it, Wu Ershan also felt that this method was good.

So Goofy had to jump again, and after striking a cool pose without leaving a trace, he chased forward.

The photographer who unfastened the buckle followed closely with the camera on his shoulder.

And in order to create a "pseudo-documentary" sense of realism, the photographer deliberately keeps the camera shaking slightly and rhythmically, like the rhythm of breathing when a person is nervous. 訙

In this way, it not only avoids the physical discomfort of the audience, but also makes the audience's emotions more engaged.

In fact, this is the charm of handheld photography.

Machinery, of course, brings stability, but at the same time it provides a "non-human" perspective. Because the way human beings observe things in their daily lives is unstable.

There are bumps when you walk, bumps when driving, and even if you sit still, the picture in front of you will shake slightly because of your breathing.

So a slight shaking to a certain extent can actually make the picture more realistic.

……

So in this way, under the stumbling attempts of a group of people, the crew of "Embroidered Spring Knife" finally completed this long shot of the tortured movement of everyone wanting to die. 訙

In the end, when this shot was completed, almost everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, including Wang Qianyuan and Hu Ge.

Because almost all of the most difficult moves in this movie are pressed on Goofy, and now that Goofy has completed the task, they can also be a lot easier.

It's just that Goofy is the only one who suffers a little!

Although he was in high spirits when he was designing moves with Dong Wei, it wasn't so wonderful when he actually did it himself.

Yes, at the height of the second floor, he can indeed easily jump off and maintain a certain demeanor.

However, the lifting technique in traditional martial arts is not a light skill in martial arts.

He just knows some small skills to climb high and low, and in practice, what he can really rely on is his own physical fitness. 訙

Therefore, although he was quite relaxed when he jumped the first time, and it was okay the second time, his calves trembled a little when he jumped the third time.

Considering that there are still some movements to climb high and low in the back, he must rest for a while after each ng to relax his muscles and recover his strength.

So for this long shot of less than a minute, the crew of "Embroidered Spring Knife" worked all day.

And the rest of the crew sat on the sidelines and watched Gao Fei jump more than a dozen times before completing this scene.

By the time Goofy finally finished the shot, everyone looked at him almost like fans.

Even the well-informed old man Jin Shijie could only shake his head again and again, not knowing what to say.

There have been such situations before, such as the early Xiangjiang movies that were very desperate. 訙

But since the turn of the millennium, he has rarely heard of such a thing in the entertainment industry.

As for a first-line star of Gao Fei's level, who is willing to jump back to the building more than a dozen times a day, Jin Shijie has really never heard of it.

However, after this effort, Gao Fei is not without gains.

If everyone in the crew respected him because of capital and fame before, then since this scene, he has won everyone's respect with his strength.

Although he only thinks that he is dedicated at best, in the eyes of these filmmakers, it is a devotion to film.

Because no matter how much everyone jokes verbally, in fact, for this kind of person, the circle still admires it very much. Because it is precisely because they can't do it themselves that they will respect those who can do it more and more.

Of course, if there is any substantial benefit, it is estimated that the atmosphere of the crew has suddenly been on the side since this scene, and everyone's attitude has become a lot more serious. 訙

After all, Gao Fei, the big gold owner and male number one, is so desperate, and they are naturally not too embarrassed to cheat and play tricks anymore.

So with Gao Fei's example, it made Wu Ershan's work a lot smoother, and it can be regarded as a disguised role of "killing chickens and setting an example for monkeys".

……

The next day, in the morning.

After filming for a while, Wu Ershan couldn't help but shout cards frequently.

Nothing else, because after watching Goofy's smooth long footage yesterday dozens of times last night, the more Wu Ershan looks at them now, the more awkward they feel.

It's just that after sighing for a while, he didn't know that the kind of shot he had yesterday could only be played with occasionally. 訙

If you really want to use this kind of shooting method throughout the whole process, not to mention that the actors can't stand it, it is estimated that Zhou Yi Film and Television will be the first to be unbearable.

After all, if you shoot like that, the schedule and budget will be seriously overrun.

Therefore, after forcibly suppressing the regret in his heart, he said a few words to Dong Wei, the martial artist next to him, and then asked him to correct the actor's movements to achieve the effect he wanted.

After Dong Wei heard this, he walked over clearly.

However, he didn't even bother to look at Gao Fei, so he helped Hu Ge and Wang Qianyuan guide the actions just now.

But for his "nobody" behavior, Gao Fei not only couldn't be angry, but also had to help guide others.

Tsk~ There is no one for the actor to mix with him so badly! 訙

But then again, the most difficult thing to play in the crew of "Embroidered Spring Knife" is actually not Gao Fei, Wang Qianyuan, and Hu Ge.

Whether it is the embroidered spring knife used by Shen Lian, or the two-handed goose wing knife used by Lu Jianxing, or the mandarin duck short knife used by Jin Yichuan, it is actually not as troublesome as the Miao knife used by Ding Xiu.

After all, the sword is not a weapon that is always better.

For example, Lu Jianxing used the two-handed goose wing knife, which was used for long-distance cracking, and the middle-distance one was high-flying.

As for the mandarin duck short knife that Hu Ge held in both hands, it was used for melee combat.

This weapon configuration is also a small combat system designed by Gao Fei and Dong Wei after borrowing from the ancient battle array.

After all, Jinyiwei is an eagle dog of the Son of Heaven, so he naturally has sharp claws, otherwise how can he arrest and kill people? 訙

And Ding Xiu's Miao knife, which evolved from the Tang Imperial Forest Saber, was obviously much longer than the weapons used by Gao Fei and the others, so when dancing, Zhou Zhou Wei had to spend more energy to control it.

So Zhou Wei, who is free in literary dramas, has suffered a lot when he is filming.

Even though he practiced for a while under the training of the martial arts instructor in advance, he still had all kinds of mistakes when he actually filmed.

When filming, I often either hit others or were beaten by others.

If it weren't for the master's skill in treating bruises and injuries in the crew, it would almost always be a question of whether he could get up the next day.

Of course, people are actually like this, and in the end, they are used to playing Zhou Wei.

By the way, Gao Fei also learned when filming this drama that the embroidered spring knife does not refer to a specific shape of the knife, but just a concept. 訙

Why is the embroidered spring knife a conceptual standard weapon worn by the Jinyi Guard and the Imperial Forest Army?

Because according to the research of domestic scholars from the Ming Dynasty's "Map of Entering the Police", when the emperor of the Ming Dynasty went out of Beijing to pay homage to the tomb, the Ming Dynasty sergeants and brocade guards who guarded the emperor around them wore different embroidered spring knives.

Therefore, there was also a theory later that the embroidered spring knife and the Yanling knife were essentially the same weapon, but the skin of the embroidered spring knife was more high-end.

It is only because of the misunderstanding of later generations that later generations think that the embroidered spring knife is an independent weapon knife.

Of course, it's not just embroidered spring knives that are misunderstood.

For example, when it comes to embroidered spring knives now, everyone will think of flying fish clothes and Jinyiwei.

But in fact, in the Ming Dynasty, not all Jinyi guards were qualified to wear flying fish suits. 訙

Even if the flying fish suit is the most distinctive feature of Jinyiwei, the only one who is really qualified to wear it is only the hall official of Jinyiwei Zhongzheng Sanpin, and the grassroots Jinyiwei generally only has to see it.

That is to say, in the entire Jinyi Guard system, only the commander of the Jinyi Guard of the third grade is qualified to use this flying fish suit as a uniform without the emperor's uniform.

And the reason why this flying fish suit is so precious is because of its unique pattern and style.

Don't look at the name "Flying Fish Suit" that has fish in it, but in fact it has nothing to do with fish patterns at all.

Because the "flying fish" in the official mouth of the Ming Dynasty is the appearance of a dragon's head, python shape, four legs and four claws, and a fish tail.

In other words, the Flying Fish suit is actually quite similar to the dragon robe.

As for the python robe worn by the prince, it is basically no different from the flying fish suit at first glance. 訙

The only difference is that the Flying Fish suit has wings or short pelvic fins underneath the body, but other than that, it is almost identical.

It is precisely for this reason that Emperor Jiajing once confused the two, and almost made a joke about the flying fish suit worn by Zhang Zan, the secretary of the military department, as a python robe.

However, it is precisely because of the preciousness of the flying fish costume that in the past, when the emperor gave the meritorious service, most of them would only give the unicorn costume or the bullfighting suit.

Because these two are far from the dragon form.

In addition to the Jinyi Guard and the eunuch Ouchi, only those who have made great contributions will be rewarded with flying fish suits by the emperor.

This aspect is somewhat similar to the yellow coat of the Qing Dynasty.

However, there is one thing to say, the appearance of the Ming Dynasty flying fish suit is indeed more than 10,000 times better than the yellow jacket. 訙

It's just that the flying fish suits on Gao Fei, Hu Ge and Wang Qianyuan are not worn randomly because they are good-looking.

Regarding the costume modeling, the art director of the crew has actually put a lot of effort into it.

Because although the flying fish suit was a very rare reward in the Ming Dynasty, in the late Ming Dynasty, the imperial court was no longer able to manage, so the officials became extravagant, and the ornaments on the official uniforms began to move closer to the python pattern.

Even the servants of the rich families or the women of the teaching department wear pearls and emeralds and embroidered brocade clothes when they go out, and most of the patterns on the brocade clothes are Bai Ze, unicorns, flying fish, pythons, etc., almost everything.

Therefore, the last years of the dynasty are often called the collapse of etiquette and music, and it is for this reason that the order of the entire society in all aspects is collapsing.

Therefore, if "Embroidered Spring Knife" is filmed in other periods of the Ming Dynasty, it may not be good to use flying fish clothes casually.

But if the story of the late Ming Dynasty is filmed, then wearing this flying fish suit can be regarded as in line with the social atmosphere at that time. 訙

……

Of course, commercial films are not documentaries after all.

So when shooting, you don't necessarily have to be realistic.

However, Wu Ershan and Gao Fei had already reached a consensus.

"Embroidered Spring Knife" is a martial arts film from a historical perspective, rather than just using history as a story background like Xiangjiang movies.

Since it is from a historical point of view, it is natural to try to restore the texture of history, although it is not a 1:1 restoration of history, but Gao Fei still hopes to reflect that historical texture as much as possible.

For this reason, whether it is weapons, costumes or movements, these are still based on realism and history. 訙

Therefore, it is basically impossible for those strange weapons in the Xiangjiang movie to appear in this movie.

Unless the archaeological team really has to dig up the real thing one day, Gao Fei will not let Jinyi Wei wear a flying saucer hat if he is killed!
