Chapter 582 The Last Action Star

"You are in Hollywood, haven't you ever participated in combat training?" Jiang Heng said casually.

In the American version of "Alien Path" that was previously co-produced with Columbia Pictures, iQiyi, Youku and Tencent Pictures designated Guli Nazha to play the female lead. The girl participated in a certain amount of combat training before the filming started.

Guli Nazha said: "All I practiced were fancy moves. It's okay for martial arts films, but it's not good enough for practical action films, right?"

Jiang Heng said: "It's okay. Anyway, there is plenty of time to practice after at least half a year of filming. I remember that Zhang Zhen practiced Bajiquan for three years in order to film "The Grandmaster" and won a championship! If you practice well, I will promote you as a 'action star' in the future!"

Guli Nazha was so scared that she shook her head subconsciously. Action star? How hard it is, and you may not make much money!

Instantly said pitifully: "Ah, let's not do it?"

Jiang Heng smiled, as if he was thinking for you, "The Chinese entertainment industry is so competitive nowadays. The company's resources are one thing, but you also have to have your own characteristics, so that you can be popular for a long time. Even if you are not a "action star" with outstanding action scenes, at least when shooting fairy tales, your movements can be more beautiful!"

"Isn't it enough to move your fingers and gesture twice in the fighting scenes of fairy tales?" Gulinaza said aggrievedly.

"This kind of film is a shame to the market!" Jiang Heng snorted, his tone was very dissatisfied.

Because of the emergence of iQiyi, Youku and Tencent Film and Television Company, the overall quality level of ancient costume fairy tale dramas in this time and space is far higher than that of the previous life.

However, some film and television production companies, in order to make quick money, do not work hard on the plot, special effects, fighting, costumes and props, but all kinds of "love", which can actually get good ratings. Occasionally, if it is done well, the ratings will soar and make a small profit.

So, no matter when, there is never a shortage of TV dramas that are just for show.

There are also many "qinggong" in this world, which are hanging up and down with wires, and are affecting more and more TV crews.

After all, most TV production companies cannot invest heavily and carefully build like iQiyi, Youku and Tencent.

For them, shoddy work and small wins big is the best choice.

Actors also like this, filming is easy, using various stand-ins, moving their fingers and making a few gestures, and adding the "50-cent" special effects in the later stage, the fighting scenes are finished, saving a lot of trouble!

Gulinaza occasionally takes TV dramas from other companies, and is gradually influenced. She speaks out her thoughts without thinking too much.

Seeing Jiang Heng's expression, he hurriedly said, "I'll ask my assistant to sign me up for a fighting training class when I go back, and practice every day, practice every day!"

Liu Yifei said, "After I go back, I will definitely practice every day. Then you can follow me and we will practice together!"

"That's right, I almost forgot about it!"

Speaking of this, I realized that the original suggestion was to change "Dragon Snake" into a movie, how did it involve me practicing fighting hard, I really can't say anything nonsense!

Liu Yifei said, "Naza and I are going back to train hard, what about changing to a movie?"

"That's fine, then make a movie, and I'll play the male lead again!" Jiang Heng said with determination.

To be honest, he had never thought about making an action movie before, because the market has long proved that this type of movie is not outdated, at least it is an unpopular type.

But box office is only one aspect, Jiang Heng is more afraid of bad reputation.

He has been directing movies for nearly 20 years in this life, and has had the idea of ​​retiring for about 18 years. He is really afraid of "losing his reputation in his later years".

But he has a "super microcomputer" and can learn anything very quickly. He is indeed a "kung fu" master.

Let's not talk about the actual combat level. At least in terms of moves and actions, even Jet Li at his peak period may not be able to beat him!

With such good kung fu, if he doesn't make a decent action blockbuster, he may really regret it in the future.

Anyway, it won't lose money, and it is expected that the reputation will not be too bad. Jiang Heng made up his mind and decided to direct and star in the movie "Dragon Snake Romance".

When this was said, not only Liu Yifei was very happy, but also Gulinaza and Yang Mi next to her, as well as other actors and staff who were a little further away, were also very surprised after hearing the news.

Because Jiang Heng performed Jet Li's unique skill "Fan Zi Quan" in front of the media more than once, and was praised for his good kung fu by Zhang Yimou, Jet Li, Cheng Long, Hong Jinbao, Zhou Xingxing and others many times.

People are curious, and the more controversial the topic, the longer it will be discussed.

The topic of "Jiang Heng knows Kung Fu" has been discussed tirelessly by many fans online, and it is more popular than the topic of "Who is better, Bruce Lee or Jackie Chan" among netizens.

Those who support Jiang Heng believe that he is from Hong Kong, where there are so many martial arts schools, and Jiang Heng is very rich. If he hires masters to practice all year round, he must have Kung Fu.

Opponents believe that the media has never reported Jiang Heng's master, and there have been no photos of him practicing martial arts, so how could he be a master.

If you say that Zhou Xingxing is a top master, there is still a possibility. After all, there are media reports that Zhou Xingxing learned Wing Chun from Huang Chunliang, the eldest disciple of Ip Man.

And everyone knows that he is a fanatical fan of Bruce Lee, so he must practice often, so it is not surprising that he has Kung Fu!

Jiang Heng has always given people the impression of being a director of special effects blockbusters, and occasionally he will star in or guest star in movies.

Although the fighting scenes in "Hero" are very amazing, the problem is that he can use a stand-in and wire!

The topic has always been debated, so whether Jiang Heng really knows Kung Fu has become an unsolved mystery in the entertainment industry.

There are too many viewers who want to watch an action movie starring Jiang Heng, and many cast and crew members on the set also have such curiosity.

Upon hearing this, action director Yuande came over and said with a smile: "You should have made a film like that a long time ago, and let everyone see what the last action superstar looks like!"

Yang Mi asked curiously: "Why are you said to be the last action superstar?"

Yuan De sighed: "Everyone has seen the current situation of action movies. It's in a slump. Even movies starring Aaron can't sell much at the box office. Jet Li has semi-retired, and the rest of them can't do it!

But if Director Jiang shoots it, it will definitely be a hit, and he deserves to be an action star. But when he stops filming, where will anyone be able to take over? Not many people want to watch action movies! "

Jiang Hengdao: "There is a market problem. Special effects blockbusters are more shocking and outstanding in visual effects than action movies. The audience also votes with their feet. When one day, when all the special effects blockbusters are tired of watching, perhaps only new technology can save the film industry!"

"No, will it be to that extent?" Several girls had expressions of disbelief on their faces.

Jiang Heng said in his heart, I can tell you that in ten years, audiences will not like to go to theaters to watch movies. Special effects blockbusters, comedies, and romances will all lose their appeal! (End of chapter)
