Chapter 188
Wu Long, Luo Chang, Tian Feng, and the staff who operated the props and mechanisms all gathered around, wanting to watch the performance through the monitor's playback.
Sun Jian said that in perfection, everyone involved has a contribution.
"Director, how did I perform?"
Luo Chang's excitement has not passed yet. He walks as if there are springs in the soles of his feet, and the movement of his arms can bring out the wind.
He felt that his extraordinary performance was the most bizarre and wonderful experience in his life. Of course, he also knew that this was not his own ability. It was Wu Long who brought him into the play that allowed him to have such an experience.
Without Wu Long, he would not be able to experience the feeling of being in a drama like what Li Siyi, Jiang Shuang'er, Tian Feng and others said.
Without Wu Long to bring him into the play, he would not have been able to experience the feeling of being a centipede spirit.
It is true that the Centipede Spirit is a villain. However, the Centipede Spirit is powerful! He has strong martial arts skills and can also use magic. In addition to not being able to experience magic, he has already experienced the feeling of powerful martial arts.
I once heard Li Siyi and Jiang Shuang'er talk about how they felt like Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing after entering the drama. They felt that they were really good at martial arts and magic.
He finally realized it.
Moreover, in the performance with Wu Long, he seemed to have exerted this illusion of martial arts strength, making moves that he could not do at ordinary times.
This kind of experience will make him feel that his whole being...
Gone!
In one sentence, Wu Long takes him flying!
Sun Jian nodded in praise.
"It's absolutely a super level performance. I can only describe it with two words: amazing. If you don't know, I would have thought you came out of nowhere to become a star."
Qi Ke envied Luo Chang for having such an opportunity. He was not jealous, after all, Luo Chang was the first martial artist to cooperate with Wu Long. There was a wonderful fight between him and Wu Long in "Drunk Catcher".
If ranked by entry level, Luo Chang must be before him and his senior brother.
"Luo Chang, that backflip with one palm was amazing! This was a real backflip after being beaten. In the past, the dragon and tiger martial arts masters from Hong Kong Island did not perform such moves at all. They could not do it.
Such actions.”
Some staff who were new to this industry didn’t understand and asked:
"Brother Qi, how did you film the Dragon and Tiger Warriors on Hong Kong Island?"
Qi Ke has an audience and doesn't mind popularizing science.
"For example, when the protagonist is fighting an opponent, there is a glass coffee table behind the opponent. He will be kicked away by the protagonist and fall nearly two meters in the air, smashing the glass coffee table heavily."
"For this action, if Wu Tai jumped back with his back to the glass coffee table, and then hit the glass coffee table, it wouldn't have the height or the strength, and it wouldn't look exciting."
The staff member suddenly said:
"Ah, when you said that, I remembered it. I was wondering why some of the shots of people who were kicked and smashed on the glass coffee table looked so good-looking, thrilling, and exciting, while others not only didn't look good, but also felt a bit fake?
It turns out that the height of the smash was wrong."
Zike nodded.
"Yes, not only the height of the smash is wrong, but also the speed of the smash is wrong. If you can't feel the speed, you won't have the sense of power. If you think about reality, if the height is not enough and the speed is not enough, can you smash a glass coffee table?
It cannot be smashed."
"And at this speed, it's difficult to do well in the later stage."
"This is why during the peak period of martial arts movies in Hong Kong, even Hao Laihu and other people were surprised and admired. They were really good at shooting action scenes. It can be said that our martial arts here all learned from them. Go to Hong Kong Island
There were some who stole from me, and then there were also those who followed Hong Kong Island when it came to develop."
Someone interjected:
"So, teach the disciples and starve the master to death."
Everyone laughs.
"Brother Qi, how exactly are you going to shoot this action?"
Zike smiled.
"This has to be compared with the action of Brother Long beating Luo Chang and making Luo Chang do a backflip. What is the biggest feature of our action? Can any of you tell me?"
Someone answered:
"real Kong Fu!"
"long shoot!"
Zike nodded.
"Yes. But you can't say that others don't have real kung fu. Let's just compare the shots. Ours is a long shot. The fight between Luo Chang and Wu Long is always shown in the shot and is coherent. Such shots are impossible in other people's action movies.
Everything that appears is edited."
"Going back to the action of smashing the coffee table, how did you do it? You used misalignment. The protagonist stood in one line, and Wu Tai who smashed the glass coffee table was in another parallel line. Wu Tai wanted to run from behind the protagonist, and first did a side attack.
Flip, use the momentum of this flip, and then do a backflip. In this way, you can jump high. However, you can only do half of the backflip. You can't continue flipping while in the air. You have to put your hands and feet in the air and hit the center of the glass coffee table with your back."
"This action requires very high requirements. First, you must be able to control your body in the air, and second, you must hit the center of the glass coffee table."
"Brother Qi, did the protagonist kick out when Wu Ti jumped up at the end? The visual difference in the side shot was used to prevent the audience from seeing that the protagonist and Wu Ti were not on the same straight line."
Zike nodded.
"Then how do you shoot now? Isn't it like this?" someone asked.
"The way to shoot now, one is Wu Tai jumping on the spot and falling backwards. The smashed table and coffee table are like paper, and they will fall down as soon as they are touched."
"There is another way to move farther away from the coffee table, use Wiara to go over and then hit it on the coffee table. If the technique is not up to standard and the work is not successful, use editing. The Wiara is a lens, and hitting the coffee table is another lens. Long shot.
Pull it over, close up the camera and slam it on the coffee table."
Someone thought of something and asked:
"Brother Qi, some similar shots in movies and TV shows are always in slow motion. Was it filmed by Ravia? Because the technology is not good enough, it can only be shot in slow motion?"
Brother Qi shook his head:
"I don't know about this. Maybe others use slow motion for artistic effect."
Everyone laughed knowingly.
"Brother Chang is still amazing, he can do such an action under a long lens." Everyone praised Luo Chang.
Luo Chang shook his head.
"You are wrong. I can't do this move by myself. Currently, two backflips on the spot are the highest record. Very few people can do it, and I can't do it either. My move is equivalent to a backflip on the spot.
Three weeks, in this world, based on personal ability, only Brother Long can do it."
"Without springboard assistance, a person's jumping power cannot jump to a sufficient height, and there will not be enough time to do continuous somersaults in the air. In addition to the height of the jump, the speed of the somersaults must also be fast, otherwise there will not be enough time to complete it."
"Did Brother Long hit you up with his palm?" Someone asked: "But your palms were parallel to the ground. Brother Long didn't hit you upward?"
Luo Chang explained:
"It looks like our palms are parallel, but actually when I release my palms, my body jumps up. Brother Long and I have practiced this action many times. Brother Long reminded me that when punching, you have to throw your whole body out.
So when I release my palms, I have a jumping movement and my weight is on both palms."
"When my palms came into contact with Brother Long's, I felt a huge force coming from my palms, like being hit by a car. This force spread along my arms to my body, forming an upward support.
The force pushed me out. All I did was jump as high as possible, control my body balance, and do somersaults as fast as possible."
Some people applauded after hearing this, causing others to applaud too.
"Brother Long's kung fu is really amazing. It's just that he's very strong. He can actually send out his palms straight and send people flying upwards. It's really unimaginable. Brother Long, how on earth did you do that?"
Wu Long is also willing to explain.
"This is the difference between Jin and force that we in Chinese martial arts call. Force has only one direction, which is the direction of movement and the direction of strike. Jin can change."
"How to practice Jin?" You Wuxing couldn't help but ask Wu Long.
"To practice Jin, you need to practice Qigong, Qi, muscles, wholeness, concentration, stance, strength, fighting strength, etc. Only by practicing hard can you develop it. Nowadays, few people can develop such Jin.
"Wu Long said a lot of things.
Even if you talk about some things like Kung Fu, it's useless if you don't practice them. Even if the master is willing to teach you, you won't be able to understand them if you don't practice them.
Just like many people nowadays practice martial arts, they talk about one thing after another, such as what kind of strength, what kind of kicking, turning the hips and twisting the waist.
