Chapter 740 Chinese Kungfu and Ladies
On the outskirts of Xiamen City, the ancient harbor film and television city, the filming site of "Once Upon a Time".
"All ready! Start!"
The board was laid down, and the people in the whole street suddenly started to move together.
And in the section of the street where the scene was filmed, more than 20 people from both sides suddenly confronted each other and fought with fists and kicks——Margaery Tyrell subconsciously covered her mouth.
For those who are used to watching film sets, in fact, there is no essential difference between China and Hollywood, and it is hard to say that there is anything to be surprised about, but the scene in front of you is extraordinarily special.
Margaery Tyrell has also participated in and seen many street fighting scenes and gunfight scenes in Hollywood, but obviously, the shooting scene she is seeing now is not the same as her crew in Hollywood What you see is completely different!
At the same time, six cameras were burying and filming. At the same time, 20 or 30 people entered the arena, fighting fiercely, and...they seemed to be fighting for real, and this shot took more than ten seconds to shoot!
This is... Chinese Kung Fu?
Margery couldn't help but let out a "wow" in her heart.
Again, if it was in another time and space, in fact, Hollywood around 2000 had introduced a large number of Hong Kong film talents when Hong Kong films were in decline, and thus quickly mastered the decades of experience accumulated by Hong Kong filmmakers. That kind of martial arts action design ability, but in the current time and space, not only there are no Hong Kong movies, even Bruce Lee has not appeared, and the fighting that appeared in the blockbuster movies they used to sweep the world, compared to other time and space, is It is inferior to more than one rank!
At least in terms of the aesthetics of martial arts design, the current Hollywood movies and Hollywood filmmakers are definitely old hats in front of the dozen or so seconds of martial arts shots just shot!
If you consider the bonus effect of the mysterious Chinese kung fu... Well, there is no doubt that Margaery Tyrell was directly overwhelmed by the ten-second battle at this moment!
What could she see in the Hollywood crew at that time? It's two American tough guys with big arms and round waists, where you punch each other and punch each other, bang bang bang, you're covered in blood, and I'm not much better!
And if it's a street fight with a large number of people like this... In fact, when you think about it, even in another time and space, before about 1995, or even before 2000, in Hollywood personal hero movies and street fight scenes, how did you ever Has there been any decent melee of a dozen or dozens of people?
Well, Americans also love hero movies, especially hero movies, but without the blessing of Chinese-style action design, let alone filming a street fight with 20 or 30 people with a sense of beauty and impact, Even their supposedly advanced street gunfight designs are based on Hong Kong movies, especially after being taught by John Woo for a few movies, this is how they have achieved great success!
Of course, without the unique development environment of Hong Kong films, the current domestic films are no better than Hollywood in this respect!
So here, what Margaery Tyrell sees is actually far beyond the martial arts action design of this era! Well, Oriental Kung Fu-style martial arts action design!
"Crack!"
Li Qian held the loudspeaker in his hand, sat on the seat without getting up, and just shouted: "It was good just now, I didn't wear it, it's over! The next shot, camera number two, be careful to step back more than one and a half meters !"
As soon as he finished calling, he handed the loudspeaker to Feng Bicheng beside him. At this time, Guo Ziming over there had already entered the arena again, with a few simple instructions and requests, and then withdrew from the scope of the camera.
Feng Bicheng held the loudspeaker, "Attention everyone, Unit 1, Unit 4, Unit 5, pay attention, start!"
Snapped!
Margery stared wide-eyed, watching the people in the field suddenly start to move collectively again, and where the three cameras were pointing at, in the melee of the crowd, a short man in a long robe suddenly stepped forward , as soon as he made a move, a very beautiful leg swept across the past, but a fat man opposite him suddenly bowed on the spot, and forcefully lifted the leg with his arms, and then he looked very huge. His bloated body showed great flexibility. After resisting the opponent's attack, he quickly took a big step forward and punched him. When the opponent landed, he immediately parried...
"Crack! Pork Rong, your expression is too fierce! Forgot what I told you? Even when you should be fierce, you should show contempt and disdain, but don't be really fierce... Again!"
"ready, go!"
So, the shot just now was shot again.
This time, Li Qian nodded, "Crack! It's over!"
…………
It’s just that this street scuffle is expected to take about four and a half to five days to shoot, because there are too many shots, and even so, it’s because many shots were taken out and shot separately—those shots were all unsuitable. So many extras are needed.
There are many characters, many shots, large scenes, difficult scheduling, and another big problem is that it is absolutely impossible to shoot a long shot of this fight, and many shots need to be picked out bit by bit!
Many of the shots are three and five seconds long!
As the saying goes in the industry, it is said that this job is a bit "broken", so you have to save (cuan) bit by bit!
Therefore, it took more than an hour to shoot one shot after another. The venue was still the same venue, and the people were still the same people. In fact, the combination did not make much progress.
But this progress already made Li Qian quite satisfied!
Margaery Tyrell couldn't understand Chinese either, so she just stood on the sidelines about a dozen steps away from Li Qian's director's chair, and stood with seven or eight behind-the-scenes staff, watching quietly. , Surprised.
And Li Qian's attention is too concentrated, it seems that his whole mind is only on the set, only on the places where the cameras are aimed and focused, so that even in the middle he got up several times to personally guide The actor's performance, but when he turned around and walked back, he didn't notice the blond Margaery standing out from the crowd.
Of course, others must have noticed.
It wasn't until more than an hour later, when the crew had a ten-minute break, that Feng Bicheng reminded Li Qian in a low voice—he bent down and whispered a few words in Li Qian's ear. Looking over from behind, he immediately stood up with a smile on his face and walked over with big strides.
Li Qian stretched out his hands habitually, but Margaery Tyrell had already opened her arms.
So, in a large circle of people watching, the two embraced.
"Why don't you take a break first?" Li Qian said.
"I'm going to come over to see how you direct a movie, because I'm not sure if I've been tricked!" Margery joked.
Li Qian laughed and asked, "How long have you been watching?"
But immediately, Margaret smiled and said, "One hour? Maybe! But, Qian, you look so handsome as a director!"
Li Qian laughed again, chatted for a while, then waved for someone, and introduced several key personnel to her one by one.
Zhao He and Feng Bicheng are the two assistant directors, the male and female protagonists Zhou Baoshan and Lu Lingxi, especially Lu Lingxi who can act with her, and... the fat man who knows Chinese Kung Fu that she is very interested in.
You must know that although Bruce Lee's dissemination and science popularization are missing in this time and space, the legends about "Chinese Kung Fu" in Western society will not be weakened by this!
Because for the Western world, the entire Eastern society, because it is completely independent from the Western system, and the degree of communication and cultural interoperability between the two sides over the years is really limited, so it has always been extremely mysterious and attracts attention —— Liao Liao's popularity in Europe and America is probably due to her being a "crooked nut"!
Some people often ridicule Chinese people for believing that "foreign monks can chant scriptures", but they don't know that as long as you have solid things and extraordinary skills, even in European and American societies, you are also "foreign monks who can chant scriptures"!
At this time, after the fat man Zhong Yuanfu was called by Li Qian, he was not stage-frightened at all. He shook hands with Margery, and when the other party asked him to perform kung fu curiously, he even really showed off a set of punches, which made Ma Geli Ge Li was so amazed, she clapped so hard that her hands turned red.
"Wow, Chinese Kung Fu, cool!"
Sun Yuting smiled and added a sentence in Chinese, "Chinese Fat Kung Fu!" Everyone laughed, and Zhong Yuanfu laughed too, but Margery couldn't understand. Looking at Li Qian, Li Qian had to explain to her, but it was useless , this joke is completely off Margaery's point.
Although she would be surprised to see such a fat man with such a bloated body so flexible, but in her logic, the word "fat kung fu", even if it is translated hard, is not funny.
After meeting each other, the others walked away consciously, and only Li Qian walked and chatted with Margaery.
After chatting for a few words, Margaret said: "Qian, you look very handsome as a director! Wow, and... this place is beautiful, I believe the movie you are making will be very good! I can't bear it now. I can't help but want to know what kind of role I'm going to play! Will I also have that kind of play?"
While speaking, she imitated Zhong Yuanfu's posture just now, and pretended to make gestures twice.
Li Qian smiled and waved his hands, "No, no, you played the role of the heroine's friend. As a Chinese, the heroine went to study in the Western world at that time, and you, the friend she met there, also came here later. In China, of course, uh, your scenes in this movie are...very few!"
Having said that, he thought for a while, and said, "The filming will be over in about three or four days."
"Oh... isn't it?"
Margaery Tyrell looked disappointed.
Li Qian smiled and nodded, "Yes, a lady from more than a hundred years ago."
Margaery was obviously very dissatisfied, and couldn't help but rolled her eyes, "Oh my God! It's...a lady again!"
