In the temporary military camp, about two hundred nearby villagers dressed in Song Dynasty soldier uniforms and Fanyang hats were marching in formation with long guns in their hands. Looking from a distance, the "little soldiers" were pushing and shoving.
From time to time, he would turn around and joke with the people around him, completely treating filming like playing house.
The most speechless thing is that during filming, as soon as the camera moved in, these extras would immediately tilt their heads to look at the camera, and they corrected it many times to no avail.
Neither Li Jiading nor Qi Bo could speak Mandarin and could not communicate with these villagers at all. They could only run over to Kang Jianfei and said: "Director, let Coach Yu Haiyu also serve as the assistant director."
Yu Hai's scenes were filmed while he was in the Shaolin Temple. He didn't leave at this time because he wanted to stay as a martial arts consultant and sometimes make a guest appearance as an action coach.
Kang Jianfei was also troubled by these villagers. He was busy with the director's work and could not always communicate with these extras. Now he had no choice but to invite Yu Hai and asked: "Coach Yu, do you have any good ideas?"
Yu Hai thought for a while and said: "The best way is to tell them that if they don't obey the orders, they won't get paid. But we can't say this. We have to invite the captain of the production team to come over."
As soon as Kang Jianfei called for the production captain, the production captain ran over happily with a Type 56 rifle in his hand. He rushed to the performance stage in the military camp and shouted: "Gather the militia!"
"Pfft!" Kang Jianfei, who was drinking water, spurted it out.
The crew members from Hong Kong were already dumbfounded, and even the martial arts team members from Beijing and Shandong were so shocked that they were speechless.
"Ahem!" Kang Jianfei coughed and said to the production team leader, "Fellow, I just want you to direct everyone so that everyone can cheer up during filming. And don't always stare at the camera."
With the help of local people, the filming finally went smoothly. At least under the threat of salary deduction, no one would look at the camera again. Because of the rules set by the production team leader, anyone who dared to look at the camera would have one day's salary deducted.
dime.
Wu Mengda was wearing a Taoist bun on his head. He looked much thinner after losing weight. He was standing aside with a sword in his hand and yawning.
The scene to be filmed now is about Dong Tianbao betraying Zhang Sanfeng and luring a group of heroes into the military camp. The soldiers are local villagers, and the heroes who come to assassinate Liu Eunuch are all members of the martial arts team.
Role played by team members. For example, Yu Hai, who previously played the role of the Bodhidharma monk in the Shaolin Temple, now has a big beard and a wig on his head. He holds a big ax in his hand and plays the role of a blacksmith.
As for Eunuch Liu, Ye Tao from the Kang family class played the role. Ye Tao was born in Piguamen, a great sage. He practiced monkey boxing and was relatively thin. The makeup artist put on a white wig and put it on his face.
After applying a few layers of white/pink, and finally applying lipstick, I looked like a eunuch.
Filming a fight scene in which a hero is surrounded and killed by soldiers can only be shot piece by piece. The villagers' little soldiers who act as part-timers can only stand far away to support the scene. When it comes to the real fight, it still has to be a martial arts team member or someone from the Kang family class.
Wear soldier costumes and go into battle.
This was Wen Bixia's first time filming a martial arts scene. It was impossible for her to complete various actions by herself. At this time, Yang Qingqing came in handy again, changing into costumes and acting as Wen Bixia's stand-in.
In fact, shooting scenes is really boring and very mentally demanding.
Take this scene for example. Zhang Sanfeng is dancing with an eyebrow-level stick and fighting against the officers and soldiers. The picture that appears on the big screen is Zhang Sanfeng majestically sweeping away with the stick. All the surrounding officers and soldiers were swept away by him.
But when filming, it had to be divided into several parts, and finally it was reflected through lens editing. Especially those soldiers who were beaten away. Everyone had steel wires tied to their bodies. The effect of being beaten away was actually because there were staff behind them.
Pull them.
Just such a fight scene involving officials and civilians taking a full four days to complete. The martial arts actors were exhausted, but the villagers were overjoyed because they found it was so profitable to follow the crew and go around in costumes every day.
You can earn 1 yuan by running.
After filming the scene in which the heroes were killed by the soldiers, it was time to jump to the final shooting scene. This time, Li Lianjie, Hui Tianci and Hui Yinghong were mainly tired, and the others could finally take a break.
Li Lianjie will not turn 19 in a few months, and he lacks the calmness of a man after 30. In addition to applying makeup to make him look older, Kang Jianfei also has strict requirements for Li Lianjie.
, that is, he is not allowed to laugh during filming, so that he will look more stable.
At this time, Chen Xiaoxing also had a role to play as a hero. Before each shooting, he would follow Kang Jianfei, Li Jiading and Li Lianjie to discuss the next fighting moves. He would perfect all the Tai Chi action scenes.
Just when the last fight scene was about to be filmed halfway through, Zhen Zidan, who had been missing for more than a week, suddenly appeared in front of everyone.
Ignoring everyone's curious inquiries, Zhen Zidan walked straight up to Kang Jianfei and said, "Mr. Kang, I'd better make a movie with you."
Kang Jianfei was also very curious about Zhen Zidan's experience and asked, "Were you driven down the mountain by Master Suneng?"
Zhen Zidan shook his head and smiled bitterly: "No, I want to go down the mountain myself."
Kang Jianfei asked: "Why don't you continue to learn martial arts from the master?"
"This kind of Xin Yi Bao skill is not suitable for me," Zhen Zidan seemed to be tired from walking on the mountain road, and he threw his butt on the ground and said, "Xin Yi Bao has one mother posture and twelve major postures. I have been practicing the mother posture for more than a week.
The mother pose is called 'poutou', which is the posture of using a hoe to hoe the ground. The master gave me a hoe and asked me to practice it from morning to night..."
Kang Jianfei understood and said amusedly: "Let you practice with a hoe and help him farm the land?"
Zhen Zidan nodded awkwardly. He had indeed spent a week playing with a hoe in Shaoshi Mountain. The boring life almost made him collapse. If he stayed there for another month, he would probably go crazy, so he took the initiative to ask Monk Suneng
Please excuse yourself and go down the mountain.
Kang Jianfei put away his smile and said in a very serious tone: "If you can hoe the land in the mountains for three months, even if you don't practice any kung fu, your state of mind will be greatly improved. What a pity, you kid
A good opportunity was missed.”
"Improvement of mood?" Zhen Zidan asked puzzledly: "What exactly is mood? Can you be more specific?"
"The state of mind of a person who practices martial arts is something other than luck and moves. You can think of it as the vision of martial arts, or the understanding of the spiritual level of martial arts. Anyway, this kind of thing is like a person knowing whether it is warm or cold when drinking water. Once you understand it, you understand it.
It’s not enough for outsiders.” Kang Jianfei felt this. He lived nearly 40 years in his previous life, and he was only practicing martial arts skills. After time traveling, his mood was very different. That night he ran to talk to Suneng
The monk talked nonsense, and Kang Jianfei's real gain was not the Buddhist scriptures, but Su Neng's words that gave him some enlightenment.
Mood is a very mysterious thing to talk about, just like the morale of the two armies during a war. You can't analyze it scientifically at ordinary times, but when there is a real war, the morale of both the enemy and ourselves can turn the tide of the battle.
Zhen Zidan listened to Kang Jianfei's words becoming more and more outrageous, and couldn't help laughing: "Mr. Kang, I think you are suitable to stay in Shaolin Temple to practice."
Kang Jianfei stood up and patted the dust on his butt, and said: "Forget it. After staying in the Shaolin Temple for so many days without eating meat, my mouth has faded away from a bird. If I were a monk in the mountains, what would happen to the chickens in the countryside below?
They will all be stolen by me."
After two more days of shooting at the foot of Shaoshi Mountain, the scene in the military camp was finally completed.
When the crew left, the local people were reluctant to leave and staged a touching farewell drama, showing the sincere feelings between the compatriots in mainland China and Hong Kong that blood is thicker than water.
The people who saw him off all greeted him one after another: "Comrade, will you come to make a movie next time?"
Before leaving, the things Kang Jianfei asked someone to send from Hong Kong were also delivered, a total of two sweaters, two pairs of pants and a coat, as well as a pair of hiking boots and several pairs of socks.
After receiving a Buddhist treasure from Monk Suneng and being inspired by him to realize something, Kang Jianfei had to express his gratitude no matter what, it could be regarded as a good relationship.
Kang Jianfei called Zhen Zidan, thrust a large package into his hands and said, "This is a little tribute from me to Master Suneng. Please help me deliver it. I don't worry about others."
Apart from practicing martial arts, Zhen Zidan has never suffered any hardship since he was a child. When he was a street fighter when he was a teenager, he had to boss others around. How could there be a time when others bossed him around?
Zhen Zidan disliked the errand work ordered by Kang Jianfei, but since she had to rely on Kang Jianfei to enter the film industry in the future, Zhen Zidan could only reluctantly agree.
After Zhen Zidan went up the mountain, Kang Jianfei took the crew to an ancient courtyard in the suburbs of Zhengzhou. With the help of the local department, Li Jiading had selected the location in advance to shoot the scene of Zhang Sanfeng's martial arts creation and Tai Chi.
.
As the car bumped along, Kang Jianfei suddenly asked Chen Mo: "Comrade Chen Mo, can I contract the Shaolin Temple?"
Chen Mo felt that there was something wrong with his ears and confirmed: "Mr. Kang, are you saying that you want to contract the Shaolin Temple?"
Kang Jianfei nodded and said, "I have this idea."
Chen Mo asked strangely: "Shaolin Temple only has a few broken houses, what are you doing as a contractor?"
Kang Jianfei said with sadness: "Comrade Chen Mo, Shaolin Temple is the cultural treasure of our Chinese nation. This time I came to Shaoshi Mountain and saw the Shaolin Temple dilapidated and decayed like that. My heart was bleeding and tears were flowing into my stomach.
.I think the Shaolin Temple must be valued and protected, both from a cultural and religious perspective. I know that the government is still very poor. The top priority is to develop the economy and improve people's lives. There is not much money to renovate the Shaolin Temple. So.
Well, as a patriotic Chinese, I want to do my little bit."
After listening to Kang Jianfei's heartfelt remarks, Chen Mo had a greatly improved impression of him and said: "Since Mr. Kang has ideas in this regard, I will help you contact local comrades, and you will discuss the specific matters in person." (
