Although the sudden sound was not loud, Zhao Haichao, who had just slapped his left palm, shuddered subconsciously, his whole body froze, and his face turned red with shame.
The shooting location in the afternoon was in a roadside wine shop. This scene is very important. It is the starting point where Lin Ping, one of the main supporting characters, first meets Yue Lingshan and his fate changes, so there are many shots.
As the actor who plays Lin Pingzhi, Zhao Haichao has already eaten more than ten ng in his first fighting scene!
Although it is normal for actors to eat ng, and even top celebrities are bound to make mistakes, but for Zhao Haichao, who is determined to make this role a success, more than a dozen ng is undoubtedly a big setback.
"Your shots must be clean and neat..."
Lu Chen stood up from the director's chair, walked quickly in front of several actors, and gestured with his hands: "The leaping action just now was passable, but the palm release was too slow, making the connection of the moves not smooth enough. This gives people
It feels very stiff…”
Zhao Haichao suppressed the anxiety in his heart, listened carefully to Lu Chen's explanation, tried hard to memorize and understand, and at the same time danced and imitated, but his movements seemed a bit funny.
Zhao Haichao has also filmed action scenes before, but the moves are very simple, just punching and kicking three or two times, and post-production can be accelerated and added with special effects.
"The Swordsman" is completely different. This is a new martial arts movie that pioneered the genre. It is completely different from action movies and the popular martial arts dramas in Hong Kong in the 1980s and 1990s. The essential difference lies in the martial arts scenes.
The martial arts scenes in "The Swordsman" are extremely demanding!
After winning the role of Lin Pingzhi, Zhao Haichao spent nearly two months in basic training in the Lujia class. He thought he had mastered some of the key points, but when it came time to actually start filming, he realized that his preparations were still not sufficient.
, unable to completely let go in front of the camera.
"Brother Yong, let's demonstrate it again..."
After patiently explaining the essentials of the movements in detail, Lu Chen called Wan Yong over.
In the first big movie of "The Swordsman", Lu Chen served as the leading actor and action director, so he directed the entire martial arts scene in the afternoon, while Wan Yong, the leader of the Lu family class, was the martial arts instructor.
Wan Yong nodded and replaced Zhao Haichao's opponent to face Lu Chen.
Everyone's eyes were focused on the two of them, and Zhao Haichao was even more focused, for fear of missing any detail.
"Lighting...camera...actor preparation..."
"ation!"
Although it was just a demonstration, it was still carried out according to the regular shooting. As the sound of the board was heard, Wan Yong looked at Lu Chen with contempt and sneered: "Fuwei Escort Agency? I have never heard of it! What does that do?
"
Wan Yong used to be a soldier. After retiring from the army, he worked as a security coach at a club. Later, he was discovered by Lu Chen and became the leader of the Lu family class. He originally had no acting experience.
But as the saying goes, practice makes perfect. Lu Jiaban became famous in the industry through "A Chinese Ghost Story". Later, he also participated in the filming of "My Love from the Star" and hired several outsiders, gradually accumulating a lot of experience.
Wan Yong is no exception. He recited several lines with style and perfectly embodied the character's ferocious temperament.
Lu Chen jumped up and shouted: "He specializes in beating up bitches!"
The next moment, he struck out with his left palm, and without waiting for the skill to mature, his right palm had already penetrated from the bottom of his left palm. What he used was the move "Yunli Qiankun", and his movements were as free and easy as flowing clouds and flowing water.
"Xiaohuadan still has a few more days to live!"
Wan Yong's eyes narrowed and he waved his left hand to block Lu Chen's right palm. At the same time, his left hand quickly grabbed Lu Chen's shoulder.
Lu Chen immediately lowered his right shoulder and punched straight out with his left hand, which was powerful and powerful.
Wan Yong hurriedly turned his head to avoid it, but he didn't expect that Lu Chen's left fist suddenly opened up. The fist opened instantly changed into a palm, and the direct blow turned into a sweep, and he slapped him hard in the face with the "seeing flowers in the smoke" move.
In fact, there was no real slap, but Wan Yong was struck by lightning and his whole head was slapped to the side. "In anger", he kicked Lu Chen hard, but Lu Chen turned around and kicked back.
past.
Several actors around, including Zhao Haichao, as well as many extras playing passers-by and crew members, watched in a thrilling way. They really didn't know that this was how the martial arts scenes in martial arts movies were filmed!
There were not many amateurs present, and some of them knew how to shoot action movies. Don’t look at the powerful punches and kicks on the screen. Basically, they were all produced and processed by special effects and sound effects. The real shooting process was actually very boring and completely fixed.
ized patterns and routines.
Although the fight practiced by Lu Chen and Wan Yong was not very fast, it felt not only smooth and natural, but also powerful and powerful. It also had an artistic rhythmic beauty that was pleasing to the eye and even exciting.
In particular, Lu Chen punched out with his palms, and his fists were fierce and powerful. It felt as if he could blow up his opponent with one punch. Normal shooting would have such an effect, and with the later editing, modifications and special effects, what would it be like?
outstanding?
According to the setting of the script, in "The Swordsman", the first part of "The Swordsman", Lin Pingzhi is only a small character, belonging to the third or fourth rate in the world, and is not considered a master at all.
So what kind of wonderful performances will the protagonists who appear in the future perform?
It’s really exciting!
Zhao Haichao clenched his fists involuntarily. His determination had never been as firm as it was at this moment.
Determination to play this role well.
"alright…"
Lu Chen withdrew his fists and feet, called Zhao Haichao and his opponent in front of the monitor, and asked the camera assistant to play back the shot he had just taken: "You guys practice against it, and then take another shot when you meet the requirements."
Zhao Haichao nodded vigorously.
Lu Chen then said to the others: "Everyone take a rest for half an hour and try to finish shooting this set of shots in the afternoon."
The atmosphere at the scene immediately relaxed.
Zhao Haichao and his temporary partner ran to the side and continued to practice together. Wan Yong glanced at them, hesitated and said to Lu Chen, "How about using a substitute?"
If Zhao Haichao is replaced by someone from the Lu family class, these martial arts scenes have already been filmed.
Lu Chen smiled and shook his head and said: "No need for now, his understanding is still very good, give him some more time."
In order to catch up with the schedule, time is very precious for "The Swordsman", but for Lu Chen, it is completely worthwhile and more meaningful to spend some time cultivating a potential new actor.
Lu Chen's filming of "Swordsman" is part of the martial arts big IP plan, and the significance of the martial arts big IP plan is not to make much money for himself, but to promote martial arts culture to the market and the entire world!
This may be the meaning of his future life!
If you want to achieve such an ambitious goal, it is far from enough to rely solely on the strength of him and Lu Jiaban——
