Chapter 306 Chapter 305: The Road to the Revival of Martial Arts Movies [Subscribe]
The drama is over and the time has come to half past eight, officially entering the highlight of tomorrow night.
Action is not the nature of movies, because movies are an audio-visual art that uses actions to express thoughts and emotions.
Therefore, action is a natural core element in martial arts movies, and it refers to the physical movements performed by the protagonist in a prescribed situation to complete a prescribed task.
Generally speaking, actions have two major attributes: 1. All actions are produced by will; 2. All actions have a certain purpose.
Therefore, in martial arts movies, as the designer of martial arts scenes, the action director must combine the script and let the actors know what they want to do in that scene, why they want to do it, and how to do it, so as to avoid the "fighting for the sake of fighting" style like The Walking Dead.
"Old Zhao, the Fuso ninjutsu that Hattori Chijun, who I play, should hold the sword like..."
…
"Teacher Cao, I am like that..."
…
"Teacher Li, I am like that..."
…
Django's "directing knowledge" has been upgraded to a master level, with many more in-depth things, including action design.
Bu Nao.
He was still not satisfied with this and wanted to use [Star Card: Tsui Hark]. He had to make those two martial arts scenes as perfect as possible.
Tsui Hark is not only the director of "The Swordsman: The East", but also one of the screenwriters.
The first part of "The Swordsman" was shot by Hu Jinquan. His legwork was old-school rigorous, the story followed the original, he was not good at action and special effects, and the pace of the film was slow.
In the second part, Tsui Hark and Cheng Xiaodong began to have no scruples, radically subverting the traditional style, interpreting the spirit of Jin Yong's original work, and changing the story from the spirit.
A reporter once interviewed Jin Yong: "Tsu Hark's "The Invincible" was liked by many of your readers, and they thought it captured the taste and spirit of your novel. Why don't you approve of his adaptation? Is he a recognized martial arts film? Action movie high legs.”
Jin Yong expressed his dissatisfaction unabashedly: "He doesn't like him, he doesn't understand martial arts, he made "The Legend of Shushan Swordsman" incomprehensible, and he changed his novel "The Swordsman" blindly, and changed the story of Dongfang Invincible When a man changes to a woman and is played by a woman, it does not matter whether a man's gender changes when he changes gender, whether the process is slow and complicated, whether there is change and a process, and whether it is involuntary. It was as simple as shown in the movie. He later asked to buy his novel to make a movie. He said that his friend would do it, but he would not sell the novel to me, and he would not ask for cooperation. "
It can be seen that in the story after Tsui Hark changed it, Jin Yong's style has basically become the background and scenery. The adapted movie basically cannot see Yong Xuan in the original work, and only the name "Tsu Hark" is left.
As for Django, there is no such worry, because there is no Blue Star and there is no original novel.
With a demanding attitude, the two martial arts scenes were filmed until four o'clock in the morning.
"Everyone has worked hard." Jiang Ge sincerely thanked everyone and said, "We have prepared breakfast for everyone in the tent in front of us." "
His crew hired a chef to prepare three meals a month and did not order from outside restaurants.
He has never been stingy with food, drinks, water, etc.
"Dr. Jiang didn't lie. That drama is different from "Xiao Yuer and Hua Wuque" and "Xiao Bao and Kangxi"."
"How to say?"
"It's a martial arts drama. The action design and martial arts names are all set one after another, and they are very smooth and elegant."
"That's not true. In a world where the 'martial arts world' has gradually become the background for the new generation to laugh and play, and where 'hero' and 'chivalrous girl' have gradually become the catchphrases on the Internet, we refuse to take away the connotation of chivalry and are still exploring martial arts movies. The writer or director of Coco is Django.”
"Isn't it important? Linghu Chong's martial arts scene was not filmed. The fights between the supporting characters were so exciting. What would it be like if the protagonist was present?"
"Stop talking, it will make him feel itchy."
…
The two staff members were eating big buns while chatting about the two martial arts scenes they filmed last night.
Martial Arts and Dian Yongqi is the only genre film produced in China. It once almost swept the world, its influence spread all over the Chinese world, and it became part of the export of cultural soft power.
However, since the turn of the millennium, martial arts movies have inevitably declined.
The emergence of Django first revived martial arts TV series, and later the announcement of the filming of martial arts movies gave fans who like that kind of movies hope.
Although the effect of the star card he used only lasts for one hour, Liudong has a lot of useful things. In addition to the previous [star card: Chu Yuan] and [star card: Cheng Xiaodong], he has already used three of them for martial arts shooting. Big boss.
He combined their experience, concepts, and characteristics, based on the integration of previous films, and at the same time made three efforts in technological innovation, audition spectacle, and spiritual core to form a unique martial arts aesthetic system and create his own for the audience. Jianghu.
Pei Jie stopped work for a day and a half and did one thing on the set, watching them act.
but.
Just watching it won't work. Please combine what Jiang Ge said and try to find an acting method that suits you.
Pei Jie went out of his way to ask talented actors like Li Sheng, Cao Hua, and Zhao Tianwen for advice.
One and a half days is very short. If you want to improve your acting skills by leaps and bounds, then it is impossible.
Bu Nao, with the help of everyone, he became enlightened and understood the difference between stuntmen and real actors in acting, and he also understood how to take care of their rhythm.
On the day work started, the transformation was so drastic that Django gave him a thumbs up.
Is it true? Children can be taught.
And he knows everything, and his acting skills are the same every day.
This made Liu Ya, Ling Xue, and Zhang Jiayi, who were working with Jiang Ge for the first time, stunned. Is the legendary "one-hour guidance" really so amazing?
It made them all want to give it a try. Who would think that the acting skills are too good?
However, they misunderstood that Jiang Ge guided Pei Jie and did not use the star card.
Bu Nao.
His current ability, even without the star card, is comparable to that of a professor at the Film and Television Academy.
But Liu Ya and the others didn't know. Anyway, they shamelessly asked for advice whenever they had free time.
Django refuses no one and doesn't leave any leg behind for guidance.
Such behavior made his image in the hearts of several actresses grow taller.
——————
Month after month, I filmed "Swordsman: The Unbeaten East" for more than a month, and in the blink of an eye, it was already the Shiye Jiao Festival.
Django gave the entire crew three days off because "The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift" was finished and entering the post-production stage, and asked to determine a production direction for the production department.
Mo Lan took the creative team of that movie to promote it. After all, it was only two months before New Year's Day.
There is a double shell voting event at the end of the month, which is from the 29th to the 31st. Please try to vote during that time period.
