When Ding Xiu heard that Lu Huiguang took the initiative to ask for help, Ding Xiu was stunned for a moment, and immediately turned his attention to Wu Jing.
He admitted that Lu Huiguang was very good at fighting, but there was still a gap between real fighting and filming.
Martial arts actors, in addition to being able to fight, must also be able to act. This thing cannot be learned and adapted in a day or two. Take himself as an example, his acting skills were not very good before and he was very rusty.
It was only through filming one film after another that I slowly figured out my own set of acting methods to get where I am today.
"Then thank you for your hard work, Brother Guang." Unexpectedly, Wu Jing nodded in agreement without even thinking about it.
Ding Xiu doesn't know if people in Hong Kong circles don't know that Lu Huiguang is actually an actor. He entered the industry very early, for decades, and he usually shoots movies.
Of course, because he is also Cheng Long's bodyguard, he definitely doesn't have as much free time as a professional actor, and he usually mostly makes guest appearances.
It shouldn't be a big problem if he plays a cameo role as a gangster boss and it's just for one scene.
Ding Xiu, who was a little worried, asked: "It won't affect your work, right?"
Lu Huiguang is Cheng Long's bodyguard. It's outrageous to come over to watch people filming during working hours. Don't lose your job just because of one scene.
"It doesn't matter, I have a lot of time every day."
Unlike what Ding Xiu and others thought, Lu Huiguang did have a lot of time. On the surface, he was Cheng Long's bodyguard. In fact, who would dare to touch Cheng Long these days?
It’s the 21st century, it’s no longer the 1980s and 1990s.
In addition, he is too old, so even if he is really in danger, he may not be able to defeat a young man with a knife.
The reason why Cheng Long still kept him by his side was mainly to provide for him in his old age and to take care of the brotherhood for so many years.
Now my daily work is very relaxed, I just drink tea and have dinner at the appointed time.
"That's good. If Brother Cheng Long asks, just say that I asked you to act." Ding Xiu, who didn't know the truth, was still comforting Lu Huiguang.
Lu Huiguang laughed and didn't explain anything. He just thought this young man was interesting.
Ding Xiu turned to Wu Jing and said, "Since Brother Guang has joined, let's just shoot. He should be fine."
This scene is quite demanding for several gangsters, and the martial arts must be passed. Considering Lu Huiguang's strength, he is not worried at all.
This guy still has two brushes, so it won’t be a big problem when taking pictures.
"Attention of all departments, check the equipment and prepare to start shooting in five minutes."
"Confirm the props one last time to ensure everyone's safety."
"Ready, three, two, one, let's go!"
"A speedboat encountered strong waves and capsized in Liang Shuen Wan. All people on board were missing. Marine police found a large number of US dollars on the boat. They initially suspected it was related to a robbery at an exchange shop in Tsim Sha Tsui last week. The police are looking for three mainland men...
…”
At the food stall, Abu was eating noodles. The latest case was playing on the radio. From the corner of his eye, he glanced at the three men at the table on the right. He didn't say anything, pretending not to see them, and continued to eat his fish ball noodles.
The props teacher was very attentive. The fishball noodles were freshly cooked and no props were used. Ding Xiu, who ate fishball noodles for the first time, thought the texture was pretty good and he ate it happily.
Sensing his gaze, the heroine Lu Xiaohe turned back and looked at the three men behind her.
"Let's eat noodles." Abu just said.
Without listening to him, the heroine stood up, walked towards the three men, took out her ID and slapped it on the table.
"Police, please take out your ID card."
"We are eating noodles, why are you checking your ID card?" Lu Huiguang's eyes widened, and he shouted in annoyance: "What ID card are you checking?"
"Sorry sir, please show me your ID card."
"Sorry sir, please show me your..."
Before she could finish the second sentence, Jiang Baocheng, who was at the same table, put a hand on her neck, making her unable to speak.
Standing 2.08 meters tall, his open palm was bigger than Lu Jingshan's face. He was pinching someone with one hand. Jiang Baocheng remained calm and continued to eat noodles with the other hand without even looking at Lu Jingshan.
The veins on Lu Jingshan's neck popped out, and her tongue almost stuck out. She rolled her eyes. No matter how hard she struggled, she couldn't break the iron pliers around her neck.
Listening to her coughing and wailing, Ding Xiu, who was a few meters away, put down his chopsticks and half-squinted his eyes as if weighing the pros and cons.
Finally, he moved.
He stood up, pulled out his chair, sprinted towards the group, put his foot on the empty table, and used his strength to kick Jiang Baocheng in the head.
He moved, and Lu Huiguang also moved. Almost at the same time, Jiang Baocheng put his hands on his chest, and Lu Huiguang turned around and kicked Ding Xiu.
The dining table was overturned, Jiang Baocheng was kicked to the ground, and Ding Xiu was kicked down by Lu Huiguang in the air.
"pretty!"
Behind the monitor, Wu was amazed and exclaimed.
I didn't expect such a difficult shot to be shot so easily.
Ding Xiu jumped over the empty table. He had to kick his feet forward while he was in the air. This was quite difficult for professional martial arts practitioners.
Because you will fall down when you hit the ground. If you don't want to get hurt, it all depends on the actor's skill.
What Ding Xiu did better was that he wouldn't be injured after being hit. His arms landed in front of him, so nothing happened.
Lu Huiguang also cooperated well. He stood up and whipped his leg with a sharp whip, which made him look domineering.
The most important thing is that after kicking the person, he pulled up a small bench and sat down, continuing to eat his noodles, showing off his big brother style.
"Click!"
"Pass!"
"Check the makeup and take a photo."
In the second article, Ding Xiu and Jiang Baocheng got up from the ground and started fighting. They kicked each other in the stomach and took a few steps back.
Choke, unlock, be thrown away, raise your legs high to sweep the opponent's head, use your knees and elbows, full firepower.
The whole process was so violent that Jiang Baocheng was beaten to the point of retreat.
In front of the monitor, director Li Zizhong clucked his tongue: "This guy has failed as an actor. Why don't you become an athlete? He's a martial artist."
Wu Jing laughed and said: "It's hard to say what Wuying level is, but it's no problem to win the championship."
It's just that if you are good at one martial art, you won't be able to get the Wuying level. The Wuying level will be multi-talented. As far as he knows, Ding Xiu doesn't know many martial arts.
Of course, Ding's martial arts skills are not limited to relative martial arts performances. With his kung fu, he can sweep through a large number of martial arts levels.
"You are well-informed. Can you tell what kind of punch he uses? It looks a bit fierce to me, and it is very practical in combat."
Before becoming a director, Li Zizhong was a martial arts instructor. He thought he had some knowledge of martial arts, but after watching Ding Xiu's martial arts, he was a little confused.
There are a lot of things mixed in, but they are all quite practical.
Wu Jing said: "The foundation of Bajiquan, mixed with Sanda, and some modern fighting, it is really fierce."
Ding Xiu's martial arts style changed probably when he took his brothers to ask for advice during the Black Boxing shoot last year. From then on, his moves included modern fighting techniques.
For example, nowadays, movements such as high-side legs and low-sweep legs can often be seen on Ding Xiu.
During rehearsals before, I could see him playing the guillotine.
"You're so wild, you won't get into trouble, right?"
To be able to make Cheng Jiaban, who has always been known as life-threatening, say such things shows how tough Ding Xiu's fighting style is.
I don’t blame Li Zizhong for saying this, Ding Xiu’s martial arts looks really scary, all punches go to the flesh and attack people’s vital parts.
If the strength is increased a little more, it will be no different from killing someone in a life-and-death struggle.
"It's okay, don't worry, what's going on here?" Wu Jing gave him a reassuring look: "Don't worry about Brother Xiu's strength, this is just a small scene."
There is only one possibility for Ding Xiu to miss, and that is that his opponent is too strong, evenly matched, and cannot hold back.
Obviously, Jiang Baocheng cannot meet that requirement, while the current Ding Xiu can fight with ease.
…
"Click, pass!"
"Teachers, please take a break."
"The heroine is here, the props will be rearranged."
This scene was very long and would take more than an hour and a half to finish. Ding Xiu and Jiang Baocheng had been filming for a while, and Wu Jing shouted, intending to let them take a break and let the camera take pictures of Lu Jingshan.
One-third of this scene is on Lu Jingshan, and there are also many fighting scenes.
Considering that this is her first time as an actor and her first time in martial arts, she needs to spend more time on her.
Coming to Lu Jingshan's side, Wu Jing said: "You also saw the martial arts fight between the two masters just now. I don't ask you to fight as well as them. Just show your normal level."
"Good director." Lu Jingshan nodded seriously.
At this moment, she felt quite panicked.
It's okay if I haven't seen Ding Xiu's martial arts, but after watching it I don't feel confident at all.
Ding Xiu played so steadily, and she could perform all kinds of difficult moves at her fingertips, easily and without any pressure at all.
Fortunately, Wu Jing didn't compare her with Ding Xiu, otherwise he would have wanted to die.
"Get ready to start, don't be stressed, stay calm and pay attention to safety."
"Thank you, director."
Taking a deep breath, Lu Jingshan found her position and was ready to start as soon as the floor manager announced the plan.
Wu Jing put on his headphones, sat in front of the monitor, looked at the picture in the camera, and said: "Three two one, let's go!"
"Snapped!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Lu Jingshan was hit by a plastic stool. She gritted her teeth and punched, punching a hole in the stool and knocking him over with the chair.
In front of the monitor, Wu Jing remained unmoved.
Most of the plastic chairs are real, except for the part where the butt sits on which is made of foam.
So far, Lu Jingshan's performance is okay, and her reaction after being hit is in place. Whether she can pass the test depends on her subsequent performance.
She only has two martial arts scenes, and this is the most important one. If she can't get through it, she will offend the investors and have to replace her.
"boom!"
As soon as Lu Jingshan got up, she was kicked in the chest again, so hard that she couldn't breathe and almost burst into tears.
According to the script, she grabbed the pepper on the ground, threw it at the gangster's face, jumped up on the table, and used the space to fight.
But the effect didn't seem to be good, as I just jumped on the table and fell on my butt.
"Click!"
"stop!"
It was director Li Zizhong who shouted to stop, because he couldn't stand it anymore.
If he hadn't seen the smooth fight between Ding Xiu and Jiang Baocheng, he could barely watch this one. After watching Ding Xiu and then watching this, it would be complete torture.
It's too bad, not strong enough, the reaction is unreal, and you will fall down if you jump on the table.
"Director, how was my performance just now?" Lu Jingshan asked Wu Jing with wide eyes after wiping sweat with a towel.
"Ahem, it's okay. As a new actor, it's good to be able to perform like this." Wu Jing thought about it, but still didn't want to dampen the newcomer's enthusiasm.
New actors are already under a lot of pressure. If they don't get approval from the director, their subsequent performance will only get worse. Once they fail more than three times, they will doubt themselves more and more.
"Brother Xiu, can you give a demonstration to their group?" Wu Jing gave the newcomers some face, but Li Zizhong didn't give it at all and directly called Ding Xiu who was drinking tea from a thermos cup on the sidelines.
"Okay." He handed the thermos cup to Zhao Liying, and Ding Xiu stood up: "Table jumping, right?"
"No, start by smashing the chair."
"Damn, it's so troublesome? It's going to cost extra."
"Add it!" Li Zizhong didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He turned to Lu Jingshan and said, "Learn a little bit and see how he fights."
Wu Jing clasped his hands on his chest and said: "There are not many opportunities to learn like this. What you will see next will be textbook-level fighting. Study hard."
Lu Jingshan nodded solemnly, looking at the field with big eyes without blinking.
"boom!"
The chair in front of him was thrown at him, and Ding Xiu followed it with a punch, took half a step back, turned around and kicked him sideways.
Wu Jing explained: "People's pain will be reduced during a fight. If you really fight, you may not react after being stabbed. You can get up and continue fighting in a short time."
"Your reaction was a bit loud after being hit by a chair before. This may be your subconscious reaction, but you still have to control it."
"Look at Ding Xiu again. As soon as he steps back, the impact of the chair comes out. He has a strong sense of power at first glance. The boxing stance remains unchanged, and he turns around and kicks. How beautiful."
"The table hopping is about to begin, please watch carefully."
Compared with Lu Jingshan's martial arts, Ding Xiu's martial arts is simply heaven and earth.
It was obviously the same action. When Lu Jingshan was beating, everyone was afraid that she would be beaten to death by the gangsters. When it was Ding Xiu's turn, everyone was afraid that the gangster would be beaten to death by Ding Xiu.
"boom!"
A handful of pepper was sprinkled on the gangster's face. Ding Xiu jumped on the table, and the gangster flipped the table. He stomped his foot, grabbed the stall pole, used his body to spin and kicked the gangster's neck, and his body slowly fell to the ground.
"Have you learned it?"
After Wu Jing finished reading, he said to Lu Jingshan.
I have to say that Ding Xiu's fighting is really beautiful.
"Learned a lot." Lu Jingshan scratched her head gently, ran to Ding Xiu, and said humbly: "Brother Xiu, I would like to ask you how you did table jumping in one go."
Facing this mixed-race beauty, Ding Xiu gestured with his hands: "That's how she dances."
Lu Jingshan: "..."
"Haha, just kidding. It's actually very simple. Don't think too much in your head. Just think about jumping up at that second. Don't worry about grabbing the pole later. Take your time step by step. Don't rush."
After watching Lu Jingshan's martial arts, he was still a little nervous and panicked.
This is not just her, but also a common problem among many new martial arts actors. As soon as they go on stage, they want to perform all the moves in rehearsal.
In the end, I didn't perform well, and I didn't play well either.
"Thank you, can you tell me in detail whether I can still rotate my body?"
"The rotation of the body requires the cooperation of the opponent actor. When you ask him to lift the table, lift it to the right. When your body slides down, you will naturally exert force and it will appear to be turning normally."
"Then I haven't seen you discuss it with your opponent's actors. How did you do it?"
"Haha, I don't need to discuss it."
