Chapter 1009 1004. Martial Arts

There was a hint of surprise in Liu Yifei's eyes, and she asked subconsciously:

"Really?"

Xu Xin's facial muscles stiffened and he nodded vigorously:

"Well, it's true! You can be the heroine. I think you're suitable too!"

"……ah?"

Now, the fairy sister was really shocked.

The first reaction is:

"Don't you think about it Mimi?"

Xu Xin shook his head like a rattle:

"If you don't think about it, it's a fool's errand. You are definitely suitable! She can't do it, her acting skills are too bad!"

"ah????"

Liu Yifei's first feeling was absurd.

I was just kidding...why are you still serious?

But the second reaction was a hint of joy.

Hey?

With such a huge bargain, is it our turn?

With such a sentence, the heroine was taken down?

"You really don't need Mimi? Don't you ask her?"

Seeing that she was still unsure, Xu Xin quickly shook his head:

"No need to ask, I don't know what kind of virtue she has? This woman wants to give it to her... it's a waste! It's you, you are the most suitable!"

"..."

Now she really didn't know what to say.

Are you happy?

nonsense!

I must be happy!

But...she had an inexplicable feeling in her heart that "it's not a good thing to get it too easily".

I feel uneasy.

After thinking for a while, she asked:

"When will you give me the script?"

"Well……"

Xu Xin blinked and said with a smile:

"The script is kept secret for the time being. You won't know it until you start filming. This is a Hollywood rule. You, an American, don't know this?"

"Bang!"

In front of all martial arts instructors and martial arts experts.

The aunt slapped Murong Fu.

This punch took at least ten years of effort.

All the military commanders will know at a glance that there is no way to stop it.

The heart says...

What a skill, young hero!

Keanu Reeves glanced at the two men, and the corners of his mouth twitched.

OK.

Just pretend you didn’t see it.

When Jessica heard the movement, she turned her head and glanced, and saw the director who had been slapped nodded slightly to her.

means...

It's time to start.

"OK, first group."

With her words. Four or five guys with explosive muscles walked to the exercise mat.

Xu Xin stopped playing around.

His requirements for the martial arts finger this time were very simple, that is, "simple, effective, highly lethal, and clean in action."

The script will definitely not be provided, but the martial arts directors actually don’t need the script.

Since Bruce Lee popularized kung fu movies all over the world, Hollywood has also changed its usual rough action model and has also begun to introduce top martial arts actors such as Yuan Jiaban, Cheng Jiaban, etc. into movies.

At the beginning, almost all Hollywood actors were from China.

But later, as the dragon and tiger martial arts masters aged, and people in Hollywood continued to learn, the martial arts school in Hollywood is now flourishing.

They not only absorbed the uniqueness of Celestial Martial Arts, but some people also incorporated these things into other elements.

There are even professional martial arts instructors with different body types and different moves.

The audition method used by these buddies is also the traditional "1V1" and "1VN" format in Hollywood.

However, after looking at it for a while, Xu Xin put an

These guys are so rough.

Still taking the hard-hitting approach of Hollywood.

It doesn't have a sense of beauty.

This is true for 1V1, let alone 1VN.

You punch, I kick...

It's called a back-and-forth ugly situation.

Chen Hu curled his lips slightly.

He turned and glanced at the brothers next to him.

He is a senior, and he is also the best one in Hollywood currently.

Master is getting older, so unless it is a particularly important production, he will basically not take action. Normally, they spend their old age in Xiangjiang, but Xiangjiang Movies has also disappeared in the past two years, and the disciples of the Yuan family class have scattered all over the sky.

Some people are in the mainland, and some want to come to the United States to make a living.

Most people here in the United States will come to find themselves.

And these junior disciples he brought today are some of the outstanding members of Master's sect.

Needless to say, Yuan Jiaban’s reputation is worldwide.

They can take on these four words "second to none".

As the most famous martial arts team, Yuan Jiaban is famous for his camera skills.

What is shot flow?

The answer is simple: Master's requirement is that every scene should have coherent, smooth, and clear movements.

In 1V1, Party A and Party B, how do you throw your punch, how do I block my punch, the strength of the punch, the angle of the block, and the direction of the throw must arouse the emotional resonance of the audience so that they can see and understand clearly. Can be brought in.

What Yuan Jiaban is most proud of is this logic.

Smooth cause and effect chain, clearly for you to see. The speed is neither fast nor slow, and the content is neither too much nor too little. Repeatedly switch offense and defense, and see-saw strength in both directions. The process is very valuable, and the tricks are common in life. The mirror language is plain and vivid, never frivolous or fancy.

And this happens to be consistent with all action movies.

This is their most attractive feature.

Perhaps, they are just martial arts directors, but as the core foundation of kung fu films that have led an era, the people of Yuan's class are naturally skilled.

They are experts.

And the experts looked down upon the muscular men fighting each other.

As expected.

1VN had just started, and Jessica, who had received Xu Xin's message, called a halt directly:

"OK, that's enough. You can go back. If there is any news, we will contact your agent."

The muscular tough guys nodded and turned back to the team.

They were not in a hurry to leave.

Martial arts directors are a profession.

Just like the martial arts schools.

People from all walks of life have different styles.

If you are not from their school, they will definitely not teach you.

But no one can refuse to steal their skills.

The people of Yuan's class are here. Watch more and steal a few moves. Slowly, you can enrich your "arsenal reserves".

As a member of the director team, Jessica will naturally not drive them away.

So, there was a group of people watching, three or four people were fighting on the training mat.

After auditioning five or six groups of people, it was finally Chen Hu's turn.

Everyone was familiar with each other, so there was no need to be polite.

Xu Xin also wanted to see what kind of surprise Chen could perform his request.

Then Chen Hu and a martial artist who was younger than him came out first.

After the two of them set up their positions, the martial artist took the lead in making a move.

He started with a swing punch.

Chen Hu skillfully blocked it, and then punched the opponent's chin.

The guy took advantage of the situation and did a backflip and fell to the ground.

"WOOO~~~"

The exclamation of the crowd sounded at the scene.

Obviously, this move was straightforward and neat, and with the cooperation of the two people, a feeling of Chen Hu's punch was extremely powerful, which made everyone sigh unconsciously.

But Xu Xin's brows suddenly frowned.

But he didn't say anything, but continued to watch.

The martial artist stood up again, and the two sides set up their positions again.

But this time, the opponent used his feet.

The first move was a straight kick. After Chen Hu dodged it, he turned his hand into a palm and pushed the opponent's chin again...

The guy "flew" out directly.

He lay on the ground "not knowing whether he was alive or dead".

I have to admit that, apart from other things, the feedback given by the Yuan family members in terms of "being beaten" was indeed the best.

But... it doesn't work.

Xu Xin sometimes feels that... Lao Chen's thoughts are a bit "shallow".

Indeed, what I want is simplicity and efficiency... But the problem is, this is a killer's story.

It's not like you haven't read the script.

Don't you know what John Wick is?

Although the two moves in front of him are simple and efficient, they are more like a martial arts master, not a "killer".

There are no cold and cruel moves like a killer.

It's just simple and efficient.

But he didn't say anything, thinking that this should be a warm-up, and he will see later.

After the guy on the other side got up again, the two of them started to use their moves.

They fought back and forth, and the fight was really exciting, and it could be seen that every move was really aimed at the vital points.

But...

For no reason, a sentence his wife had said before popped up in his mind:

"You must have roots under your feet."

This was taught by Grandpa Yu when his wife just started learning martial arts.

It roughly means that people who practice martial arts must have a root under their feet, which allows people to maintain their body balance during fighting and will not lose their position no matter what.

This is definitely true when applied to martial arts.

After all, kung fu is about countering moves and killing with one blow.

But putting it in the movie... it is not what Xu Xin wants.

Although he does not practice martial arts, he has been used as a sandbag by his wife during the day and a furnace at night over the years, which can be regarded as training some vision.

Although the two's moves are wonderful, there are at least three places where Xu Xin can figure out how to "end" the opponent by following the farming moves that his wife often plays.

For example, Lao Chen's move is to directly turn his palm into a palm and stab the opponent's throat.

The guy on the opposite side uses both hands to fix the opponent's arms on both sides, one block, one separation, and let the hands do a joint reversal to fix them and make them unable to move.

If it were my wife, she would definitely push her hands forward with all her strength, directly push forward with explosive force, and after driving the opponent's center of gravity, whether it is kicking the crotch or lifting her arm that was caught by the joint reversal, after mobilizing the opponent's center of gravity, she would use her other hand to give a liver-blasting punch and directly send the man to GG.

According to my wife, your adrenaline is mobilized, and the pain is not that painful.

Isn't it over?

But these two people are still fighting back and forth.

Does it look good?

It looks very good.

But... for Xu Xin, it is already a very dragging move.

So…

The “PASS” button in his heart had already been pressed halfway.

But reason told him that if there were no other good candidates, he would have to let Lao Chen make the change.

Otherwise it would not work.

Fighting like this is good-looking, but it is really no different from traditional action movies.

Soon, the 1V1 over there ended.

Chen Hu panted twice, and seeing that Xu Xin and Brother Ji were still looking at him seriously, he nodded to the other brothers.

Three or four people gathered together.

1VN.

Now, the picture actually looks better.

But...that's the same sentence.

It's nice to watch, but the routine is still the same as in 1VN, where the protagonist fights one person, and the others are walking around and making noises.

Let me put it in the most literary terms possible.

You're nice, but you don't touch my soul.

He even imagined Chen Hu as John Wick in his mind.

Facing the menacing enemy, John Wick rushed up to him. He quickly punched him, then grabbed the stool next to him and skillfully rolled it into a flower in his hand. He used the gap of the stool to block another enemy and gave him a blow. After he punched him, he hit the third person...

have to.

MR. Wick directly became JACKIE CHAN.

Thinking of this, he sighed helplessly.

"well……"

After Jessica heard his sigh, she turned her head and glanced.

Then he shouted in a very "disgusting" voice:

"Okay, stop."

Several dragon and tiger martial arts masters who were enjoying the fight were suddenly startled...

Even Chen Hu was stunned.

Obviously, they really didn't expect that someone would stop them before they finished their routine?

This foreign girl...is she so ignorant?

While thinking about it, Chen Hu noticed Xu Xin's eyes.

There is no burning gaze, just a very simple calmness.

There was no joy or appreciation for his wonderful moves.

So peaceful.

The first thought that popped into Chen Hu's mind was:

"Did I not move well?"

But he immediately denied this.

No, these movements are all customized according to the requirements of "concise, efficient, and powerful".

Even after he finished playing, he recorded it and sent it to Master.

Master’s comment is:

“It’s not a particularly beautiful game, but it’s really efficient.”

Master’s assessment is definitely not wrong, right?

Maybe Director Xu doesn’t seem to agree?

At this moment, he heard Xu Xin's words:

"Old Chen, there are props over there. Have you prepared weapons? You can try it."

Chen Hu was stunned again.

My heart said, could it be that I saw it wrong?

Do you think...we can do it? Want to see more?

For a moment, he suddenly felt unsure.

But he still nodded:

"no problem."

So, he took a few people to the prop shelf nearby to choose, and chose two pistols and several short knives.

These are all plastic props, and he also reminded a few people to be careful.

Then……

Fighting together again.

Lao Chen fired, one man fell to the ground, and another man rushed out from the side and shot his gun into pieces. After receiving two punches, Lao Chen used a gun in one hand and a fist in the other to kill the opponent like a gunfight, and then killed the third person with two "bang bang" shots...

After this was done, Xu Xin, who had a complete idea in his mind, nodded:

"Okay, that's it. Next group."

Chen Hu naturally knew that this kind of thing was definitely not decided on the spot, so he stepped aside with a few panting juniors.

If they don't leave, he won't leave either.

Soon, the next group of people appeared "tremblingly".

Several more groups of people were auditioned.

Xu Xin became more and more speechless as he watched.

I really didn’t realize it before... In the Wuzhi industry, you are really not afraid of not knowing the goods, but you are afraid of comparing goods.

He was really dissatisfied with Lao Chen's group of people.

But... I can’t stand other people.

Compared with these ten or so people in a row, Lao Chen is simply not on the same level as these people.

Could it be that my requirements are too high?

Or... Xiangjiang's Dragon and Tiger martial arts masters have really brought this kind of action scenes to the "extreme", and there is nothing that can make them shine anymore?

While he was thinking about it, a new group of people came up.

The same three or four people.

And also has an Asian face.

but……

He is very short and has a ponytail. He looks a bit like someone from Southeast Asia.

Xu Xin lowered his head and glanced at the information.

[Masyan Ruyan Action Guidance Team]

Names don't mean anything, Hollywood needs to remember some people's names.

Therefore, registering the name of the action guidance company with the same name as your own is also a publicity method.

By mentioning a person's name in this way, you can find the person.

After quickly skipping the name, he glanced at the other person's resume out of habit, and then saw a line written in English:

"I started working in the Indonesian Secret Service in the 1980s and served as a presidential bodyguard."

? ? ?

Oops!

Xu Xin's eyes showed a bit of surprise.

this……

He chose to put down his resume and looked at these people.

There was not much communication between the two parties. After all, there were more than a dozen groups of people.

Understand the process.

This man named "Yayan" and another man...who was actually about the same figure as him, and even looked somewhat similar, formed a battle formation.

While several others stood aside.

Then……

"Hey!"

"Ho!"

"Bang!"

"..."

Looking at the buddy flying backwards, Xu Xin's heart crossed one word: 6.

To be honest, he didn't see what happened. He just saw the guy throw a punch, and then the guy named Yayan blocked with one arm, then bent his blocking arm into an elbow and hit the opponent's collarbone. It looked like the use of elbow strikes in Muay Thai. Then he kicked the guy on the opposite side in the leg. Because of the force on the joint, the guy's center of gravity was unstable and he half-knelt on the ground. Then Yayan flew up and kicked, and the man flew backwards.

His eyes lit up instantly.

To be honest.

He also flew backwards.

But Chen Hu's fight was more routine, and it seemed that there was no real damage...

But this guy was different.

There were three moves in total, which were extremely smooth and swift. It was really in a flash that a person "died".

And the guy didn't get hurt.

Xu Xin watched the guy named Yayan kick the other person's neck with one foot, but the guy quickly got up and stood in front of Yayan again.

Then, the other party took out a claw knife from his arms.

First, he bent the blade in the direction of Xu Xin, and then poked his cheek with the tip of the dagger.

Proving that the claw knife was made of silicone, he then made a very... powerful and swift knife flower with one hand.

The reason for this description is that he has a... action that is like the frame rate of a movie suddenly slowing down.

The knife was originally swung very fast, and it slowed down instantly, as if his knife stepped on the brakes in the air.

Very beautiful.

As the saying goes, an expert can tell whether it is good or not with just one move.

The set of movements of these two people, let alone Xu Xin and others, even Chen Hu and his group frowned slightly, revealing a look of surprise.

He always felt that these two people looked familiar.

But he couldn't remember where he had seen them.

But the problem is that he has been in Hollywood for more than ten years, and he has met at least fifty of these colleagues, if not a hundred. These two people's skills are obviously not simple, but why do they look so unfamiliar?

At the same time, why do they feel so familiar?

He must have seen these two people.

Where is it?

Just as he was thinking, the two men who had already set up their positions began to fight.

With this claw knife in hand, the man named Yayan seemed to have completely changed his style. He no longer pursued the big and fierce killing as before. As soon as the other man started to fight, Yayan bent down and got into the opponent's "cylinder". The claw knife in his hand rotated on his index finger with the help of the knife ring, and then before the opponent's punch was retracted...

"Swish, swish!"

Accompanied by the imitation sound in his mouth, one knife cut the inner thigh, one knife cut the waist and abdomen, and one knife cut the neck...

After three knives, his opponent fell directly.

Quick!

Steady!

Accurate!

Cruel!

Three knives.

Only three knives.

But these three knives revealed a message to everyone.

If this knife is real, then now there must be a scene of blood splattering and corpses lying on the ground.

Then, the fallen buddy quickly got up.

Yayan said a few words... I don't know where they came from, and several people around him gathered around.

Then, after everyone set up their positions, he started 1VN.

But...

When 1VN started, Xu Xin's amazing joy disappeared.

In Hollywood, martial arts instructors should be more accurately called action instructors.

The responsibilities of the action instructor position include, on the one hand, being responsible for the fighting scenes and moves, what moves the protagonist makes, what moves the supporting roles make, how to fight, and how to attack. On the other hand, it is to help the director complete the sense of space for group fighting scenes such as this.

When does this person enter.

How does the protagonist fight and exit, how does the other person enter and exit...

It must have this function.

It is impossible for the director to study kung fu and action in detail, so the action instructor must completely design the sequence of moves and fighting scenes in a scene, and divide all the moves. After that, the director decides how to shoot this scene.

Everyone's division of labor is very clear.

And the action style of the other side is almost perfect in line with Xu Xin's favorite.

Cold, ruthless, and unyielding.

To put it bluntly, unlike the dragon and tiger martial artists who have practiced martial arts since childhood and have been taught "martial ethics" by their masters, what he shows is more like an essence.

"Kung Fu is used to kill people."

Pure killing moves are pleasing to the eyes.

But at the beginning of this 1VN, Xu Xin saw that several people were still hanging around outside when two people were fighting, and he knew that in terms of group fighting scenes, they were much worse than the Yuan family.

The Yuan family... or the old Shaw period, from the stage when kung fu movies began to be born, they also went through such a style. But now the pursuit is no longer that the protagonist takes the initiative and the supporting role "draws circles" outside, but to connect everyone in series, requiring the protagonist to use a set of continuous actions to beat everyone in the camera.

And those who are not in order for the time being, most of them will give everyone different attributes like a master of the generation.

For example, when the master fights, the apprentice can watch from the side.

Ma San and Gong Er beat the dog's brains out, but the apprentice dared not move because of Lao Jiang's knife...

This is the path they are taking now.

It can be said to be an evolution.

To put it bluntly, it helps the audience feel more immersed.

It will never let you do it like the Hong Kong movies in the 1990s, where one person beats the villain and the others can only draw circles outside with weapons in their hands.

But in this regard, this action director named Yayan has obviously not evolved to the level of the Yuan family.

Maybe it's enough for others.

But for a big director who is also at the upper level in the country where kung fu movies originated, it is obviously not enough.

But Xu Xin didn't say anything, but waited patiently until Yayan beat everyone down, then lowered his head and drew a circle on the other party's information.

These people are eligible to enter the next round of film and television reference.

At the same time, he also picked up Chen Hu and his team's information and drew a circle next to it.

If there is no martial arts team that particularly amazes me later, then if nothing unexpected happens... the action directors of this play should be these two groups.

...

Facts have proved that it is true.

Unlike the assembly line-like integration of the Yuan family team and the simplicity and efficiency of the Yayan team, other martial arts teams are indeed a level behind these two groups.

At nearly 5 o'clock in the afternoon, all the martial arts directors finished their auditions.

Everyone, including Chen Hu, stood up and said goodbye.

No one communicated much during the whole process.

There was no need to communicate.

Just wait for the phone call.

Those who are good at it will work together and negotiate the price. Those who are not good at it don't even need to make a phone call. Everyone knows what's going on.

After everyone left, Xu Xin took a box of memory cards from Jessica.

One of them contained the video records of these audition teams in the afternoon.

As for the others, they were all the images of the action directors who came to audition provided by these martial arts directors when they were acting as action directors.

At this moment, Liu Yifei, who had been watching with relish for the whole afternoon, suddenly slapped her forehead:

"Ah! I remember it!"

"What?"

Xu Xin turned his head and looked at her in confusion.

What did Mr. Wick's deceased wife remember again?

The Fairy Sister, who was not dead yet, took out her phone, typed a few words quickly, took a look, and then handed the phone screen to Xu Xin:

"I finally remembered why those two people looked so familiar. Yayan! Saisep! They are the villains in the two parts of "The Raid"! One is the first, and the other is the second! The two killers!"

"... The Raid?"

"Yes! Haven't you seen it?"

"No, is it good?"

"Not very good... The plot is very ordinary, it is a movie produced in Indonesia. But... these two movies... especially the movie "The Raid 2: The Outlaws", the fighting scenes in it were rated by "Black Belt" magazine as the sixth of the top ten action movie fighting scenes from 2005 to 2012! It is a real violent aesthetics! Very good!"

"Uh..."

After hearing the Fairy Sister's words, and looking at the Baidu Encyclopedia of "The Raid" on her phone...

Xu Xin was unfamiliar with the name of this movie.

But looking at the other party's appearance, it seems that he admires the fighting scenes in this movie.

So, he nodded:

"Okay, let's go. Go home and have a look. Jessica, how about this today?"

"OK, Xu, let me know when you've made your choice, and we'll start the second audition."

"Okay."

After the victory, everyone waved goodbye.

After walking out of the studio, Liu Yifei asked Keanu Reeves curiously:

"Keanu, Xu said that I will play the heroine of this film."

"......?"

Keanu Reeves was stunned.

"John Wick" has a heroine?

How come I don't know?

He subconsciously cast a puzzled look at Xu Xin.

Then he saw the dear director nodded to him with a particularly strange look:

"Yes, Keanu. Liu is the heroine, playing your wife in the film. Great, right?"

"..."

Mr. Neo, the famous Hollywood dream ship, popular male god, and savior, understood his friend's expression.

The muscles on his cheeks began to twitch immediately.

MR. Wick turned his eyes to his "wife" who was full of expectation...

His wife's eyes were so bright.

Just like Ultraman's eyes.

It seemed that she was looking forward to this role.

This...

Okay.

"YEAH..."

He nodded with some "difficulty".

That's right.

Friend.

Your idea is really "great".
