It is said that the action director of "Havoc in Heaven" is brother Cheng Long, and Yi Feiyang has great trust in him.
"Okay, Brother Long, I'm going to work hard for you now. I'll give you half an hour. It's best to design a routine with a strong sense of comedy, okay?"
Cheng Long patted his chest and assured: "No problem, I will definitely handle it!"
Next, Cheng Long began to study the moves with the two martial arts masters. Finally, he came up with a plan.
In order to achieve a realistic effect in the Monkey King's battle with the Giant Spirit God, Cheng Long asked Yi Feiyang to hang in the air and keep flipping, and make various formations with other monkeys. Cheng Long believed that this way of hanging steel wires would match the animation effect.
The resulting martial arts design will be perfect. After Yi Feiyang tried it himself, he thought the effect was good and praised it very much.
Then the filming officially started, but before starting, Yi Feiyang solemnly introduced Cheng Long to Jordan.
Cheng Long was also a fan of Jordan and couldn't help but feel happy when he saw his idol. Jordan also liked the kung fu movies shot by Cheng Long. The two met very happily and soon became old friends who talked about everything.
During this period, Jordan also learned from Cheng Long the moves that would be filmed later. However, learning Chinese kung fu is much more difficult than learning to play basketball. In Jordan's words, "God, I feel like I have to have three heads and six arms."
, yes, although I can score a goal, I can't do the damn martial arts moves!"
Brother Cheng Long was very patient with Jordan, a "dumb apprentice". Finally, regarding Jordan's situation, Cheng Long suddenly said to him: "Dan, just think of the hammer in your hand as the basketball you are familiar with."
.Yes, it’s the feeling of playing with a ball! If you feel comfortable with it, treat it as a part of your body!”
After getting some advice from Cheng Long, Jordan's hammer moves really improved by leaps and bounds. He soon reached a satisfactory level.
At this time, the filming of this scene officially started.
For this scene, Cheng Long, as the martial arts instructor, racked his brains, while Yi Feiyang and Jordan, as the leading actors, suffered a lot.
Yi Feiyang hung on the wire for more than 3 hours, and many of the shots were shot from above with a crane. In addition to the high requirements for the leading actor, other extras also received martial arts training under the arrangement of the crew before filming.
It can be said that this scene is not a pure martial arts scene, but the martial arts scene is very heavy, and the design must express the word "skill". The Monkey King's skill is in sharp contrast with the clumsiness of the Giant Spirit God, and then there is a very subtle feeling in the fight.
comedy effect.
After watching the sample film, Yi Feiyang, the lead actor and director, couldn't help but applaud and praise. In his opinion, this first action scene was brilliant, and at least it was a good start for the rest.
…
Time passes quickly.
In the past few days, the scenes filmed by the crew in Huaguo Mountain have reached the most lively part.
The Monkey King, played by Yi Feiyang, was deceived by Taibaijin and went to heaven to become the butcher of the horse. When he found out that he was just a petty official looking after the horses, the Monkey King made a big fuss in the Royal Horse Prison. He returned to Huaguo Mountain and claimed to be Qi.
The Great Sage of Heaven; when Heaven's plan failed, they tried another plan and sent someone to confer him the title of Great Sage Equal of Heaven, and then appointed him to take care of the Peach Garden. The Monkey King was in the Peach Garden to take care of the fairy peaches, and happened to meet the Queen Mother having a peach banquet. He invited gods from all walks of life.
However, he did not have the status of the Monkey King. In anger, the Monkey King secretly ate the flat peaches and then made a big fuss about the peach festival, causing the Heavenly Palace to be filled with smoke and smoke. The Jade Emperor couldn't bear it anymore, so he sent heavenly soldiers and generals to capture the beauty.
Monkey King. So the story of a big commotion in the Heavenly Palace begins.
The filming of the movie went smoothly, and Yi Feiyang's performance was also lifelike and showed his true colors. Especially in Yi Feiyang's view, his previous choice was absolutely right. No one except himself could play a role like the Monkey King to his liking.
After all, the only one who can understand the image of the Monkey King in his heart is himself.
And Yi Feiyang's efforts are also visible to everyone. Many people previously suspected that this talented director who is used to being a director will not be able to endure the hardships, and may voluntarily resign from the male lead in a few days, but Yi Feiyang's persistence and hard work
, but they were shocked, especially Yi Feiyang's impeccable performance of the role, which made them admire his constantly improving acting skills.
In a sense, Yi Feiyang has risen directly from director to actor, and he can definitely be called a real actor and a great star.
…
On this day, the filming of "Havoc in Heaven" officially began.
The main content is that King Li Tianwang of Tota followed the orders of the Jade Emperor and led the heavenly soldiers and generals to come down to earth to capture the monster monkey King.
The Monkey King led his descendants to fight the heavenly soldiers and generals who were about to arrive. The front was empty and there was no sound. Then, the sound of chaotic footsteps sounded, and soldiers and generals poured out from the front like a tide. These people were all dressed in shining gold.
wearing armor and holding various weapons, forming a confrontation with the Monkey King's army.
Then the camera pans to the "Heavenly Soldiers" and you can see their expressions and hear their disdain for the monkey's mockery.
In a close-up shot, King Li Tianwang, who is holding a golden pagoda, walks out from the heavenly soldiers. Ren Dahua, who plays this role, shouts majestically: "Too, that monkey! Why don't you just capture it quickly?"
Close-up:
The Monkey King turned the golden hoop in a circle, "Haha, you can surrender if you want me to, but you can ask me about the golden hoop in my hand first!"
"Bold Monkey, I think you won't cry until you see the coffin!" King Li Tian waved his flag, and the heavenly soldiers and generals around him rushed over.
Monkey King: "Children, come on!"
The monkeys and grandchildren also rushed forward.
Long shot:
The two groups of men and horses collided together like a tidal wave, and the soldiers came and went, fighting fiercely.
Close-up shot, the Monkey King plucks out his hair, blows, and creates dozens of incarnations, entangling several powerful heavenly soldiers and generals. Then he raises his golden cudgel and strikes King Li Tianwang with one blow!
But at this time, the third prince Nezha, as the pioneer officer, took action!
The Monkey King fiercely fights the Third Prince, and a fierce battle is about to begin!
…
During the temporary break.
"The next set of shots is about to start shooting, take your time, yes. Bao'er, the third prince Nezha you play should be sharper... What I want is sharpness. It's not about dressing up. Well, this look is very good. In fact, I am very
I want you to wear a red bellyband!" Yi Feiyang said, looking at Baoer's style.
Qiankun Circle, Huntian Ling, stepping on the hot wheel!
Bao'er was wearing a very elegant red costume, standing on the plastic Hot Wheels, playing with the red tassel gun. "Watch the move, monster monkey!" He poked and poked at Yi Feiyang, having fun.
Very happy.
"Bruce, are the Hot Wheels under her feet too fake? Look, the plastic is not even shiny." Yi Feiyang pointed to the two cheap Hot Wheels.
"I'm afraid it will be difficult to shoot if I switch to metal. The weight is too heavy and Bao'er can't bear it." Bruce explained. "As for the gloss, I will ask the prop staff to spray some fluorescent powder on it later. Yes, that's it.
It will shine as soon as it comes!”
"What a great idea. Besides, her hairstyle is not good enough. Look, there are two hairpins on both sides of her head. She looks like a Teletubbies!"
"This...I made it based on the shape in the mainland cartoon "Nezha Hao Hai"." Bruce didn't understand. He had just checked the information before making it. What was his mistake?
"I mean, that cartoon was for children, and Nezha was only seven or eight years old. Now we are filming a movie. This hairstyle is too childish... In this way, if you look at us eight years old,
The sixth version of the TV series. Although Nezha's appearance in it is not good enough, it is much more exciting. Just follow that!"
"Okay, let me change it!"
Here, Yi Feiyang and the special effects makeup artist Bruce finished communicating. Yi Feiyang turned around and asked Fat Jack: "Jack, we have almost finished filming the scene in Huaguo Mountain. In a few days, we will shoot the scene in the heaven. Where are you?"
Have you made your choice?"
"It's been done a long time ago. According to your wishes, I found a few ancient building groups. Look, here is the Suzhou Garden, this is the Forbidden City in Beijing, and here is the Qinhuai River in Nanjing!"
The fat man handed over a large pile of landscape photos for Yi Feiyang to sort through.
Yi Feiyang looked at it briefly and said: "I remember there is a saying that there is heaven above and Suzhou and Hangzhou below, so choose the Suzhou Garden. Well, after the filming of this scene is completed, you can fly there first and decorate it.
for a while, and then shoot by yourself... Remember, we must have a good relationship with the local government. We are filming and need their help. In addition, when setting up the scene, we must pay attention to protecting the environment. We must not destroy other people's places because of filming.
!”
"Haha, I understand, boss, you have told me this many times!" the fat man said with a smile.
"Mainly because I'm afraid you won't remember it!" Yi Feiyang smiled and went over to greet the prop masters, "Pay attention, we'll start filming immediately, and we'll rest for ten minutes at most!"
Ten minutes later, everything was ready.
This scene shows the battle between the Monkey King played by Yi Feiyang and the Third Prince Nezha played by Bao Er.
This fight scene is second only to the fight between the Monkey King and Erlang Shen in the whole play. As a martial arts instructor, Brother Cheng Long also put a lot of thought into designing this scene.
You know, although Brother Cheng Long was born in Kung Fu movies, and he also has a group of Cheng Jiaban, but the action scenes he starred in and filmed before were all modern dramas, either playing policemen or urban heroes, such as Chen Jiaju and Meng Bo.
, and what about Flying Eagle... He has acted in very few costume dramas. In particular, costume action dramas are not his strong point. Therefore, in terms of action design, there is no need to juggle tables, chairs, benches, or jumping up and down, but to use weapons.
You come and go, which creates a problem for him.
But the eldest brother Cheng Long is the eldest brother after all. He has been immersed in action movies for so many years. He can still use the moves that you come and go with. What's more, behind him are the martial arts masters from Hong Kong. Everyone uses their brains together, and soon they will
Designed the fight scene between the Monkey King and Nezha.
Of course, a fighting scene like this needs to be practiced by the martial arts masters first, and then Yi Feiyang and Baoer do it again. Fortunately, Yi Feiyang has practiced martial arts himself, and he has quickly accepted the traditional Chinese stick moves.
.But this is a pain for Bao'er because she, a little girl, has never fought since she was a child, let alone perform moves with a red tassel gun.
Therefore, Baoer was delayed alone, and the fight scene that was originally planned to start shooting in ten minutes was delayed again. Yi Feiyang was helpless about this. After all, God is not as good as God, and many things make you unable to control yourself.
Half an hour later, seeing that Bao'er had almost learned the moves, Yi Feiyang called the photography team to start filming.
Since this fight scene is a battle between gods and demons, it requires flying into the sky and escaping from the earth. Therefore, it is indispensable to have a series of rocks falling apart, trees breaking, and massive explosions.
Yi Feiyang said before that he would never destroy the ecological environment here for the sake of filming. He said so, and he did so. Therefore, the stones and trees that will be blasted are basically props designed by him at a high price, and
Not the actual trees around.
Originally, it was okay to blast some here, since there were so many trees and rocks anyway. No one cared about the deep mountains and wild forests, but Yi Feiyang would rather pay than do so, which made the old village chief and others admire him.
Before the filming started, the prop masters were setting up the scenery. First, they hung a huge background painting behind a large mountain of rocks, with a red sun hanging halfway in the sky, and then a plastic mountain peak. Above it was a banner: "Qi
"Great Sage"!
Of course, in order to cover up these fake "sets" and create a magical atmosphere, the director Yi Feiyang also ordered people to release white "dry ice" on both sides, thus forming a cloudy and misty atmosphere with strange rocks.
Dark clouds over the mountains, the atmosphere of a battle between gods and demons.
Seeing that the scene has been set up and filming is about to begin, Yi Feiyang, as the director and starring role, is still a little uneasy. After all, Boa has never shot a formal movie before. She is just a newcomer who was discovered by herself, and she is afraid that she will mess up the filming.
Work. So he went to Bao'er and asked her how she remembered the lines. Is there anything else that she didn't understand? Bao'er said it was all clear, so don't worry. However, Yi Feiyang still called Brother Cheng Long over and asked him to read it carefully.
Tell Boa about the fight scene that will be filmed later.
Brother Cheng Long had a very good impression of the little girl Bao'er, so he patiently explained the action scene that would be filmed later.
In fact, Bao'er had learned dance before and had a solid foundation in movements. But Yi Feiyang didn't know it and treated her like an ordinary girl. As for brother Cheng Long, he was very serious here and sometimes even gestured to Bao'er.
I looked at her, for fear that she wouldn't understand.
Bao'er doesn't criticize her either. These designed moves are not too difficult for her, it's just that those weird moves are more difficult to remember.
………
The set has been prepared, and the actors' roles have been clearly explained. The prop master is in position, the cameraman is in position, and the actors are in position.
Filming starts immediately.
By the way, the main story of this scene is that the heaven heard that the Monkey King proclaimed himself the Monkey King in Huaguo Mountain. The Jade Emperor was angry, so he took the throne of Li Tian as the commander of the tower and led the heavenly soldiers and generals to go down to capture the monster monkey. As Li Jing's general, the third prince Nezha
Start a fierce battle with the Monkey King.
There is no very important background design here. The key is that the rivalry between the two characters is very important. Because in addition to the fighting, there are also a lot of dialogues that show the characters' personalities. These dialogues are not many, but they are very incisive and can best highlight the performance.
Characters and make them three-dimensional.
In other words, the next scene is actually a scene between Yi Feiyang and Bao'er. From language to action, they need to complete the best combination.
In fact, scenes like this are the most important test for actors' acting skills. Not only must their movements be "realistic", but their expressions must also be "realistic".
The shooting was about to begin. The camera had already adjusted the focus, and Bao'er stood where she would need to be buried. The wire was suspended around her waist, and several tough dragon and tiger martial arts masters slowly pulled her up.
"Release the smoke!"
White smoke filled the air, and the lighting engineer used dim lights to create the aura of heavenly soldiers and generals descending to earth. Several props masters shook the metal sheets and turned on search lights behind to create "thunderbolts and lightning", and the whole scene turned into dark clouds.
It was dark and filled with white mist. In the thunderbolt and lightning, the Huaguo Mountain shook and the river gurgled. Opposing the heavenly soldiers and generals, the Monkey King holding a golden cudgel faced thousands of troops without flinching.
Ready to move.
"Okay, everything is ready!" Cindy, as the assistant director, waved, "God Ike!"
The battle between the Monkey King and Nezha officially begins.
The Hun Tian Ling is flying, and Bao'er is spinning in the air and landing from the sky, with one toe on the hot wheel, holding a red tassel gun, with pink makeup and jade, but he is majestic and powerful.
The blower next to it increases the power to blow the air.
The wind howled.
The ribbon around Bao'er's waist rustled in the strong wind.
"Bold monster, if you don't catch me quickly, I will capture you in heaven and make the Jade Emperor fall!" Bao'er said his first line.
Directly opposite Bao'er, Yi Feiyang, who played the role of the Monkey King, waved his golden cudgel nonchalantly, then put it on his shoulder and said: "What kind of kid are you from? You come here to call for battle. Seeing that you are still young, I just
If you're afraid that I'll kill you with a stick, you'd better go back quickly and call your adults out!"
Bao'er snorted, waved the red tassel gun in a flash, and said with a look of disdain: "Hey, bold Hericium, you don't even know me, how dare you call yourself the Monkey King?! Now I tell you, I am the heaven."
The Third Prince Nezha, the vanguard officer of the Grand Marshal of the Army! Today, under the orders of the Jade Emperor, I have come to capture you! If you know how powerful I am, just surrender and beg for mercy from the Jade Emperor when I take you to heaven.
If you don't die, I will kill your monkey and burn your Huaguo Mountain to let you know how powerful I am!"
"Hahaha, hahaha!" The Monkey King looked up to the sky and said wildly, "What nonsense are you talking about, just because you want to go against me? Don't blame you. Even if you come together, I, the Monkey King, will do it."
Don't be afraid!" After saying that, he poked the golden cudgel into the sky and said, "It's useless to talk more, but do you dare to fight?" The whole monkey's face was extremely strange, and his eyes were blood red, revealing a violent aura.
The surrounding clouds and mist spread, and the momentum was condensed.
