393. Drunken fist
The speed of Hong Kong filmmakers can be said to be amazing.
When Chu Xingyun came to say goodbye, Su Butong was already reading the script with other actors on the set.
Liu Jialiang and the martial arts instructors began to design the movements.
Last night Su Butong talked with him at length all night long, and the two of them were very late to meet each other.
This is Liu Jialiang's first and only drama in recent years.
The reason is a grudge between the great director Chang Cheh and him.
Liu Jialiang once wanted to change his career to become a director, but Zhang Che, who went to Baodao, used the script to scare him and told him to give him a chance, but he never fulfilled his promise for a long time.
Liu Jialiang was so angry that he defected to someone else and turned against Zhang Che.
At that time, Zhang Che was so powerful that he made it impossible for him to gain a foothold on the treasure island, and even more so for him to return to Xiangjiang. Liu Jialiang was forced to go to the United States for a time. Later, Shao Liuye cherished his talent and asked someone to rescue Liu Jialiang, and even entrusted him with important tasks.
Let Liu Jialiang’s dream of directing come true.
Therefore, after the collapse of Shaw Brothers Pictures, Liu Jialiang regarded himself as a loyal lackey and never directed a film again.
Lin Mei invited him to come out in the name of Shao Liuye. Liu Jialiang was actually afraid that Lin Mei would use the name of Shao Liuye to deceive him. When he arrived at the scene, he saw Liu Ye there, but the protagonist was a little-known Mao Zedong.
The young man felt even more unreasonable and wanted to refuse.
But after several battles, I was pleasantly surprised to find that Su Butong was exactly the kind of protagonist who could implement his concept of a hard bridge and a hard horse.
He has martial arts skills, not some embroidered pillow.
The first scene that Liu Jialiang discussed with his team was the most outstanding scene overall. It was the scene where Huang Feihong used his drunken fist to beat a thief for the first time.
In this scene, Huang Feihong helps his mother's friend to regain something that was stolen by a thief, but he is framed by someone and makes him kowtow and apologize. Huang Feihong's mother makes a joke and makes Huang Feihong fight.
If it's just a fight, that's it. The logic here is interlocking, allowing the audience's emotions to rise and fall with the characters' encounters, and to be vented when Huang Feihong beats the villain.
Liu Jialiang discussed with the martial arts masters how to make this scene exciting, including camera positioning and character positioning, and they tried shooting it several times.
Although it is planned to shoot the entire movie in seven days, a director's passion and control can only be seen in the details.
Su Butong also said that he would fully cooperate.
The one who plays the role of Little Ma is Xiao Fangfang, a generation of movie queens, the same woman who later collaborated with Jet Li in "Fang Shiyu" and played the role of Miao Cuihua.
Xiao Fangfang has a legendary life. She studied Peking Opera, ballet, calligraphy, painting, horse riding, archery, kung fu, etc. from famous artists since she was a child.
After the TV series she starred in was well-received, the movie she starred in won the best award at international film festivals.
She played mother and daughter with Hu Die. Yes, it was Hu Die who was ridiculed by people at that time as "Zhao Si is romantic and Zhu Wu is crazy, and a graceful butterfly is doing the right thing".
Played with young Bruce Lee.
He also received a bachelor's degree from an American university.
Married and divorced actor Qin Xianglin.
I moved to Australia with my second husband.
This time she can play the role of Huang Feihong's baby mother, which can only be said to be a perfect opportunity.
She and her husband were originally going to return to Hong Kong to settle the matter, but her husband was busy with work, so she left Macao and returned to Hong Kong to look for a house. Lin Mei happened to know about it and strongly invited her to participate in the show.
And the first scene when she came back was the fight scene with Su Butong.
Start shooting!
The first roll of film begins to roll.
In the 24-frame picture, Xiao Fangfang and her sisters finished playing mahjong and walked out of the room.
A thief in black attire passed them by.
The thief focused on a black bag held by sister Xiao Fangfang.
Inside the black bag are items that the villain told him to get.
But the black bag was firmly held in his hand. The thief, in desperation, saw the opportunity and snatched the package away.
"Catch the bad guys!" Xiao Fangfang shouted angrily.
Huang Feihong, played by Su Butong, happened to come out of the room. Hearing Xiao Fangfang's shout, he chased after him.
Chased by Su Butong's extreme parkour, the thief couldn't escape, and he came face to face with Su Butong.
He wanted to hide, but Su Butong took the bag in his hand and let him go empty-handed.
In the next scene, the villain, who saw the thief returning in vain, decided to take action himself, and he and his men appeared.
The five people dispersed and walked away, deliberately leaving only half a person's width of path for Su Butong.
"I'm sorry." Su Butong hurried back to deliver his errands, but was surrounded by several people.
"Don't you have eyes when you walk? Just say I'm sorry and that's it? I want you to kneel down and lick my shoes!"
"Feihong, don't you understand? This group of people is the same as the thief just now." Xiao Fangfang appeared at this time and revealed the identity of the villain.
"Smelly bitch, what are you talking nonsense about? Who am I with?" The villain felt guilty, but then forced himself to calm down.
"Feihong, do it!"
"Do it? Fight? Dad will beat me to death!"
"What are you afraid of? There is a little mother to carry it for you." Xiao Fangfang used the white crane to spread its wings, "Let me tell you, Bao Zhilin is not easy to mess with!" She whispered in Su Butong's ear: "You win the fight.
This is just a disguised advertisement for Bao Zhilin. Your father will only praise you if he knows about it."
"How is that possible!" Su Butong grimaced.
"Chiji Wai Wai Wai Wai Wai, do you want to kneel down?" The villain's men couldn't help it, and finally took the lead.
Su Butong dodged and then counterattacked, "I really don't have the habit of kneeling."
At this time, Xiao Fangfang's sisters gathered around: "Is this Feihong so good at fighting? Hey, don't you often tell us what kind of punch Feihong is good at?"
"Drunken Boxing!" Xiao Fangfang acted out her little mother's attitude of showing off.
"Yes, yes, it's Drunken Boxing, Feihong, we want to see you do Drunken Boxing!" A group of women chattered and watched the men fight, as if they were watching some extraordinary gossip.
"Ah? Without wine, I have no energy to hit people." As soon as Su Butong turned around, he was slapped in the face.
"Feihong, come on!" Xiao Fangfang took a few bottles of wine from the side of the road and threw them to Su Butong. "Eight Drunk Immortals!"
Xiao Fangfang's gesture of appreciating wine is just like the financial sponsors in later generations giving away planes or the audience at Station B giving away coins. The thieves threw them with great momentum.
Su Butong almost shouted on the spot: "Thank you boss for the great health wine!"
He split open the cap of the bottle and started pouring tons and tons of wine. Liu Jialiang also specifically asked Su Butong if he needed to put real wine in the props during the filming of this opera.
But Subutong, who was well aware of Stanislavsky's theory, knew that drinking real wine during a performance was not a performance, but an experience of life, so he insisted on not drinking real wine.
"Lu Dongbin, you are extremely powerful when you are drunk and lifting the pot." With this move, Liu Jialiang simplified Su Butong's action just now, but made the whole action more beautiful and smooth.
Subudong held the wine glass emptyly and stirred the garlic under his feet.
The four people were punched one by one by him while carrying a wine bottle, and they were furious.
Seeing that drinking was useful, Xiao Fangfang was overjoyed and snatched a few bottles of wine from her best friend.
"Feihong, go on!" Xiao Fangfang threw two more bottles of wine over.
Su Butong's eyes were blurred at this time, and he shouted to the four people with a smile: "Tieguai Li, it's true that you are drunk when you turn your elbows and touch your elbows."
Chapter completed!
