Chapter 346, the So-Called Martial Arts
What is martial arts?
It is a technology.
A technique of killing people, self-defense, and protecting the country that has been passed down from ancient times to the present day.
When the era came to modern times, with the development of firearms and thermal weapons, it seemed to not have much meaning.
The martial arts also declined and became a laughing stock.
Become a prop for the performance.
But Li Yun felt that.
Martial arts, master.
He's not ridiculous.
Decades of hard work, hardening of bones, flesh and skin, and the experience of our ancestors summed up the most efficient technology.
Spring goes and autumn comes, and the four seasons rotate.
Hard work will yield results.
No matter how talented a martial artist is, his skills have been honed over time.
Only the most tenacious spirit.
Skills that can only be developed.
National martial arts is a martial art.
It's spirit.
It's a fist.
It is the spiritual source of the endless rotation of day and night and the four seasons.
You can beat me with a gun.
But it cannot defeat us.
We cannot defeat the spirit of our Chinese people.
There are many Japanese actors including Miura Sato.
They were all shaking.
our ancestors.
Do you actually want to defeat the Chinese?
impossible.
This is absolutely impossible
"Down with the Japanese! Give me back my Buddha shirt, give me back my China!"
"Down with the Japanese and give me back my Buddha shirt!"
The situation got out of control.
Ip Man won, but he was also going to die.
Because it was impossible for the Japs to let Ip Man walk out of the ring alive.
Yes, the out-of-control scenes were brought about by extras, including Ren Hua Da and even Chen Zhihui, who has already completed filming!
"Master Liao, calm down, you are already dead! You have no role to play anymore, don't rush!" Ye Weixin wanted to stop Chen Zhihui.
But Master Liao still rushed forward regardless.
Also save Ip Man.
Save this martial arts master.
Although this was also written in the script, Ye Weixin did not expect that the scene would get out of control to this extent.
Living characters, dead characters.
They all rushed forward.
The people were ignited with anger.
No longer afraid of Japanese firearms.
I'm not even afraid of death anymore.
Why should I be afraid of gunfire?
"Director Ye, help me get my coat."
"ah?"
At this time, Zhen Zidan's hands were trembling.
He handed his mobile phone to Ye Weixin.
After the chief director took the phone without knowing why.
Just looking at the original Ip Man, he smoked a cigarette.
I almost rushed up just now.
"Yuan Jinbao, tell me, did I understand the action movies wrongly before?"
At that moment, that second, Donnie Yen had an unprecedented impulse. An impulse that he had never had before when filming all action movies.
Hearty and hearty, express your heart.
I just want to follow Li Yun, follow this Ye Wen, regardless of my own safety, and explore what real "martial arts" is.
Thought-provoking, enlightening, and unparalleled martial arts spirit.
This kind of spirit seems to be an unprecedented explanation of martial arts.
Perhaps, in this era, firearms, as a technology for exercising violence, are much better than kung fu.
But the spirit represented by martial arts.
Does not change with the changing times.
At this time, Yuan Jinbao also said.
"I saw the shadow of a person in him."
"who?"
Yuan Jinbao put down the butt of his cigarette at this time and sighed.
"Zhou Xingxing, Jackie Chan's shadow as an actor."
"Perhaps that kid will really become a great actor in the future. In other words, a great star who writes, directs and acts himself."
Donnie Yen said after pondering for a moment.
"Who knows."
"I'm convinced"
At this moment, Lin Jiadong was very convinced of Li Yun.
Even now, he can't tell whether the person in front of him is actor Li Yun or a great master.
That great boxing master with amazing boxing skills, it was difficult for him to tell whether it was a performance or the real person.
It turns out that actors can perform to such an extent.
No wonder Mr. Ren Huada admires him so much.
For such a powerful person, I used good luck as an excuse.
It's a bit ridiculous indeed.
Even when I saw Ip Man.
Lin Jiadong also has a new understanding of his role as a traitor.
Spirit.
This is what Ip Man wants to pass on.
A ignited spark.
It can start a prairie fire. Lin Jiadong was originally unconvinced by the changes in some scenes.
Now I am completely convinced.
Take it heartily.
Ip Man's main scenes have been completed, but there are still many supporting roles to be filmed, including Zhou Qingquan's and Li Zhao's. They all live in this era and are important supporting roles in this era.
He is the protagonist of their life path.
The movie Ip Man is amazing. At least Ip Man led by Li Yun is amazing. It is completely different from the Ip Man when the project was first proposed.
It is no longer a pure Kung Fu martial arts film, but a biographical film with a martial arts master as the main body.
He is not pure.
Because Li Yun's operation is mixed with a lot of literary drama, there are even so many literary dramas that the martial arts scenes have to be deleted.
This was something that the original Ip Man crew didn't even have to think about.
All literary dramas must make way for martial arts dramas, because this is an action movie and this is a martial arts movie. This is an absolutely unchangeable tone and fact.
But for now at least.
Ye Weixin was silent.
The chief director and chief screenwriter had no idea where to start when it was finalized. He didn't even know how to balance the literary and martial arts dramas.
The script is truly out of control.
Under his nose, everything was out of control.
The feeling Li Yun gave him was quite magical.
He is obviously just a young actor, but he blocked the literary drama under the nose of the movie king, and dominated the martial arts drama under the two kung fu superstars Donnie Yen and Yuen Jinbao.
Looking back.
Most of this movie seems to be directed by Li Yun.
It can be said that he has accomplished something that even a director has not accomplished in this regard.
"It is said that an assistant director ran away, but it turned out that the protagonist did the director's work, and he did it so well." Ye Weixin murmured.
As the chief director, he dare not say anything about directing the martial arts scenes.
And Li Yun took the lead in completing all the martial arts and literary scenes, becoming the core soul of Ip Man.
Became the soul of this movie.
Ye Weixin doesn't know whether the audience will buy this movie in the end. This unconventional shooting method goes against his previous understanding of martial arts films.
But he definitely gets it.
In front of him, this great master, who was even nobler than Ip Man in history, was living deeply.
A person with a soul.
A great master with a soul, at least in Ye Weixin's eyes, was extremely noble.
Whether it convinces the audience or not.
But this great master completely convinced the director.
It completely convinced him as a creator.
