Chapter 718 Surprise the World?
In the filming process of movies and TV dramas, all film and television works involving action scenes, whether you are two-person PK, street melee, or a massacre with thousands of horses and horses, need a martial arts instructor, or even a martial arts instructor Team, come to draw up a detailed fighting plan, shooting plan, and design the supporting corresponding actions that each actor should make!
And whenever such a shot is encountered, to a large extent, the director just puts forward his own requirements and guides the photographer to follow up with the angle and lens of the shooting. Wu Zhi has the final say on how to shoot!
Therefore, martial arts scenes are a very unique scene.
Since it is a professional matter, it must be done by professional people.
What's more, the work of martial arts design and martial arts guidance really doesn't mean that you can do it after practicing kung fu. What needs to be presented here has a lot of aesthetic and ornamental elements!
At present, there are quite a few well-known martial arts in China, and the teams they lead behind them. Compared with Chinese people, they love martial arts. Every year, a large number of martial arts and martial arts movies and TV series are filmed in China. It is these martial arts and martial arts. Point to the teams!
Among these famous martial artists, Zhao Yideng is a bit reluctant to be first-rate, and the second-rate is at the pinnacle—considering that in the last "Legend of the New White Snake", everyone cooperated happily, and Li Qian also felt that Although this old guy doesn't talk much, he does things in a down-to-earth manner. He is a person worthy of association and entrustment, so this time he will use Wu Zhi again, and he is the first thing that comes to mind.
Of course, the so-called martial arts in "Legend of the New White Snake", which is half immortal and half martial arts, is just a few poses. On the same level, Zhao Yideng did a good job in doing that, but Li Qian didn't dare to trust him completely in doing this. Besides him, he also contacted other martial arts.
However, the first chance must be given to him.
After all, Li Qian is indeed a nostalgic person.
Zhao Yideng came with two people, one was his sworn brother named Sun Wei, and the other was his big disciple named Guo Ziming.
When introducing the two of them, Zhao Yideng said with a smile: "When I heard what you said on the phone, I felt that this job might be difficult and difficult, so I decided to let my brother and my apprentice work together. The children are called, and now they can all go out to pick up the work alone with the team. Your brother is satisfied!"
It's hard to say how well the work can be done, at least his serious attitude has made Li Qian very happy. So, he shook hands with Sun Wei and Guo Ziming very enthusiastically.
As soon as you join hands, you know that both of them have also been practiced.
Zhao Yideng is of medium build, he has put on weight in the past two years, and is slightly fat. Sun Wei is short and fat, with an unattractive appearance, but he looks like a tiger with a particularly stable chassis. Look at his handshake posture. Li Qian suspected that he might have practiced some horizontal kung fu. As for Guo Ziming, he looked to be around 27 or 20 years old and taller than his master. He was not handsome, but he was quite energetic.
After everyone shook hands, they sat down and exchanged some pleasantries. Zhao Yideng soon asked Li Qian's request in detail.
Of course Li Qian was eager to get into the show, so he patiently described his request to the three of them, and when it came to words that were difficult to express, he even got up to demonstrate in person.
For example, the fight scene that impressed Li Qian the most in the original movie, that is, the fight in the restaurant, where Huang Feihong held an umbrella and stopped the two sides of the fight. A long handle umbrella. In front of them, in his own office, Li Qianxin was waving the umbrella in his hand—of course, the movements were not routine, but he was working hard to convey his ideas to them.
Zhao Yideng frowned when he heard that. Although Sun Wei didn't change his expression, he still looked as if he was falling into the clouds. As for Zhao Yideng's disciple, Guo Ziming, he also looked unclear.
There is no way, Li Qian said this set of fighting methods, what requirements are elegant, good-looking, etc. It is easy to say, but it is already very difficult to make people understand, let alone design a complete set of fighting methods. action?
This thing, after all, if you shoot the film or bring the original version and show it to them, you are all experts. You can immediately understand this thing at a glance: Oh, so it’s going to be like this!
However, the difficulty is that in this time and space, so far no one has shot martial arts scenes like this!
In another time and space, when it comes to martial arts scenes and martial arts guidance, it is definitely worth taking out a story that can't be told for several hours——
Most of the fights that appeared in the first American blockbusters were straight-forward and stupid, that is, you punch me and I give you a kick. It was in that situation that Bruce Lee was born out of nowhere, and he was instantly shocked. The entire world of cinema, and Eastern Kung Fu, is also rapidly becoming popular in the Western world.
Of course, at that time, regardless of whether it was out of pride, or it was not easy for them to learn at all, anyway, Hollywood continued to be stupid for many years afterwards.
But at the same time, following the idea of modern martial arts pioneered by Bruce Lee, a group of filmmakers in Hong Kong began to gradually break away from the martial arts model of the martial arts movies produced by the old Shaw Brothers. First, the Hong Jiaban led by Sammo Hung, Then came Jackie Chan's married class, which broke away from the Hong family class, and then Jet Li, a series of different but wonderful martial arts styles began to be established one after another.
Until later, after the 1980s and 1990s, before Hong Kong movies gradually declined, Hong Kong's martial arts level was ahead of the world and Hollywood by at least three or four ranks!
But later, as Hong Kong movies went downhill year after year, many Hong Kong filmmakers went to Hollywood to beg for food. American filmmakers first spent money to hire people, and at the same time kept learning and imitating. The film has accumulated 20 years of advanced film and television martial arts design, which I learned from the past. Later, it even started to be able to achieve excellence-basically speaking, the martial arts action design in mainstream Hollywood blockbusters after the 21st century has begun to lead the world!
But in the current time and space, there is no Bruce Lee, Sammo Hung, Jackie Chan, Jet Li, and Yuan Heping. In the oriental movie world, there are martial arts movies that are popular in the entire Chinese cultural circle. Zheng Zhongyuan, a handsome martial arts student, each has his own style of martial arts, but the former is a martial arts school, and he relies more on misplaced shots of wires and cameras to create an elegant and agile fighting style, while the latter, somewhat It's similar to Jackie Chan's humorous martial arts, but it's not Kung Fu, because in many cases, he actually relies more on the ultimate use of guns to solve problems!
As for the entire western world, especially the Hollywood movie world, sorry, until the early 1990s, they were still in that stupid mode of bombardment, or one person with one gun, two guns, That’s right—whether it’s a western cowboy or an American tough guy, Hollywood filmmakers are only good at this!
Until the last few years, Li Qian began to see a little bit of oriental martial arts routines from several films directed by Chinese-Americans. More or less, I started to have a little sense of design, and I am no longer as stupid and stunned as before!
After all, to put it bluntly, it is easy for everyone to be complacent, and society is the same. Without the strong stimulation brought by outsiders, it is difficult to change within oneself.
So, this is the case at the moment, whether it is the existing ready-made martial arts teams in China, whether it is Guo Yulong or Zheng Zhongyuan, their eastern style of fighting routines, or the current martial arts design of the West and Hollywood, they all follow the same pattern. What Li Qian wanted was a completely different direction and way of thinking.
So, Zhao Yideng and the three of them were a little confused after listening to Li Qian's request.
There was no other way, so Li Qian had no choice but to resort to a big killer—a few sketches of the story board.
Li Qian drew a lot of sketches, but the ones he took out were only seven or eight. What he drew on them were the actions he just described to subdue the crowd with an umbrella.
Of course, it's been a long time, no matter how much he liked it and how deep his memory was at the beginning, what Li Qian can remember now is nothing more than scales and claws, and this sketch is only a rough description of his own thoughts.
Then, Zhao Yideng, Sun Wei, and Guo Ziming began to discuss seriously in Li Qian's office. As they talked, Zhao Yideng even pulled Sun Wei to stand up. The required thinking began to cut tricks—one or two movements at most, and they quickly fell into the way they did in the past, either becoming a performance-style ostentation, or becoming a Sanda way.
Li Qian really frowned.
…………
They came over early in the morning, but until noon, they still failed to understand what kind of martial arts design Li Qian wanted. How to fight - but Li Qian is not good at action design!
There was no way, seeing that noon was here, Li Qian simply called a stop and invited the three of them to have dinner, but Zhao Yideng declined, took the sketches, and expressed that he would go back and think about it carefully, and then reply in a few days.
Li Qian had no choice but to send them to the elevator in person.
However, seeing the elevator doors closed, he couldn't help but frowned: It seems that it is really not an easy task to come up with a new concept!
Zhao Yideng can't do it, it's hard to say that other martial arts can do it!
Previously, he thought that the most unstable point of this movie was his painful modification of the original script, but now, he suddenly felt that maybe the martial arts design was the more difficult thing!
Of course, if it is done well, maybe this brand new martial arts move can shock the whole world?
