Chapter 158: Slow motion, not bad

PreviousBack to directoryNext
 Dong Wei smacked his lips, glanced around, and quickly found the one on his back.

"Brother Jianbing, how about changing to someone else?"

"Substitute? Who?" Jianbing was very alert. As far as he knew, Dong Wei brought two apprentices today.

They are all here, none of them are good, who else can he replace?

Dong Wei chuckled and pointed to the crowd.

Wu Di was chatting with Hua Gehai, and suddenly he felt a pair of strange eyes staring at him, and he couldn't help but shudder.

"Brother Hua, look, Director Dong is looking at me?"

Brother Hua came over and narrowed his eyes: "He is not only looking at you, he is pointing at you."

"I think Wu Di is very suitable."

"Xiao Wu?"

"How can he do it? He is an actor, not a martial artist. Director Dong, you don't want to find someone to tease me just because you can't do it yourself."

"This matter has nothing to do with Xiao Wu."

Dong Wei continued to lie: "Brother Jianbing, this is because you don't understand the truth. In fact, Xiao Wu is a martial arts master with good kung fu!"

Martial arts master?

Wu Di?

Jianbing also looked at Wu Di, laughing and joking, but it didn't look like him at all. When he saw Jianbing's eyes, Wu Di became even more weak.

No!

Isn’t there some conspiracy?

Is Dong Wei trying to harm him again?

"Really?" Jianbing's eyes lit up, looking very interested.

"Of course, if you don't believe it, just call him over and ask him."

Then call me over.

Interesting, really interesting.

Jianbing waved his hand, Wu Di had no choice but to stop pretending to be stupid.

Jianbing is a very childlike person and is full of curiosity about many things. When Wu Di came over, although he was not in a high mood, he still looked him up and down excitedly.

"Xiao Wu, I heard that your kung fu is also pretty good. I've never heard of you talking about it before. You're so dishonest!"

Good kung fu?

Wu Di looked up at Dong Wei and immediately understood his intention.

He quickly refuted the rumor: "Brother Jianbing, you are exaggerating. My skills are just average. I still need the help of Director Dong to make the film myself, so I can't be ranked at all."

Jianbing didn't believe it at all: "You, a young man, have this shortcoming, you are too modest."

"I didn't expect that you are not only proficient in philosophy, but also martial arts. It's not simple, it's really not simple!" As soon as Jianbing got into a mood, he slapped Wu Di on the shoulder with such force that he almost fell apart.

"How about it? Practice two sections with me. With your help, I will definitely pass."

Wu Di: I would rather talk about philosophy.

Freud, Nietzsche, Kant, where are you?

These sages can no longer hear his affectionate shouts, because the pancakes have blocked these distracting signals.

Dong Wei, who pulled him into trouble, has now shamelessly retreated to the periphery of the set, claiming to be a guide, but has no intention of taking action.

His job is really leisurely, and he has to get double wages. He is always lazy at work, and he also tries to drag innocent people into his job.

Old Dong!

It’s yours!

Just wait for bad luck!

In fact, Wu Di has always been a kind-hearted person, and he doesn't want his friends to get into trouble. Although Dong Wei never regarded him as a friend, in Wu Di's heart, he and Lao Dong still have friendship.

If you can think about it, think about it. It is better to do less than to do more.

Therefore, Wu Di never disclosed the drama between Dong and Wei.

Therefore, when Gu Mei planned to question Dong Wei, Wu Di said a few words for him.

Who would have thought that this person would always look evil and always want to plot against Little Didi? Isn’t this a slap in the face?

"Okay!"

"Since Uncle Pancake thinks highly of me, I must try it."

"Director Dong," Wu Di turned to Dong Wei, who had retreated to the periphery, and shouted, "Tell me the moves you designed today."

Since filming many martial arts scenes, Wu Di has mastered the essentials and terminology of action design.

Dong Wei wants to throw away his burden, Wu Di will not let him be so happy.

It was just an off-field guidance. Dong Wei had no reason to refuse. He shouted slogans and instructed Wu Di to perform standard actions.

This scene was originally scheduled to be filmed yesterday, but as a result, Brother Jianbing’s ability was limited and he was always ungrateful, so it had to be postponed until today.

Dong Wei had already complained about the additional scene today. If this scene was not added, he would have gone to the crew to change his skin.

The real brother is still waiting for him!

Now I have no choice but to find an excuse with Zhang Feng and ask a few apprentices to stay and cooperate with the real brother, while I go to the Fuzi crew to complete the task.

What excuse are you looking for?

Of course it’s also a pain in the back.

Lumbar muscle strain can’t be cured without lying down.

Now that Wu Di is helping, to be honest, Dong Wei is quite happy.

The scene suddenly became more lively.

After practicing a few moves, Wu Di figured it out.

The prop boy was right. This is indeed a simplified version of the same set of actions, and it is quite simple.

However, he also deeply felt that Dong Wei's operation actually made sense.

Because, Jianbing’s martial arts skills are really almost non-existent, and it’s actually very difficult to insist on using fists and kicks. But the most terrifying thing is that he feels very good about himself.

I always feel that it is normal to fail a few times, and it will become easier once you become proficient.

Let's see how many times he kicked his legs and made a defensive movement with both hands. These movements are very simple and basic.

It is usually used to freeze frames in movies, in order to make the action look powerful and powerful.

However, the same set of actions, when it comes to pancakes, the effect is far-fetched.

Not to mention anything else, whether it is a shot or a kick, the speed is extremely slow, which is completely inconsistent with the shooting requirements of a martial arts scene.

Is this slow-motion photography?

Such actions are already very impressive if they can be put together in a coherent manner. How can you expect to see them in the camera and cut into a film that will look good?

However, slow motion...

It doesn’t seem impossible.

In the film industry ten years later, the use of slow motion in martial arts films has become quite common, although in 2009, doing so might have been scolded by film critics.

But, is the focus now on being scolded?

The top priority now is how to film this scene well, or at least cope with it.

"Director!"

"Please come over here, I have an idea."

Wu Di called Gu Mei, but Gu Mei, because she had not yet entered the official shooting, did not pay much attention to the pancake side. On the contrary, Dong Wei, the instigator, came over in a single step.

Doesn’t his back hurt?

Isn’t he suffering from lumbar muscle strain?

She's jumping so happily, there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with her, and her skills are very good!

"Xiao Wu, just practice seriously with Brother Jianbing. Why did you ask the director to come over?"

"If you work hard, you can succeed."

Wu Di rolled his eyes at him, he really didn't know how he was going to die, and he still dared to scream.

Indeed, Jianbing agrees.

He also doesn't want to see the director at this time. Who is at what level? Can he still get points?
