"Why are you out? It's so cold and you're wearing so little. Be careful of catching a cold!" Wu Jianye looked at He Qing and said.
"Oh, it's okay, I just have something to worry about and can't sleep, so I want to go out for a walk." He Qing said nervously.
Wu Jianye nodded and said, "That's good. Get some rest early. Tomorrow will be your first action scene. Refresh yourself!"
"Well, thank you, Director Wu!" He Qing said with a slightly red face.
Wu Jianye didn't say anything after that, and was going to go back and eat some biscuits to satisfy his hunger.
"Director Wu, didn't you have dinner tonight? I have a small pot that can cook noodles!" He Qing said suddenly, but then his face became even more rosy.
Even she herself didn't know why she said that.
Wu Jianye held up the cookie in his hand and said with a smile, "No need, this is enough!"
After saying that, without waiting for He Qing to say anything else, he walked towards the stairs.
He Qing stood behind Wu Jianye, looking at Wu Jianye's back, a different thought arose in his heart
The next day!
The sky is sunny and it is a good weather.
At this time, the crew has gathered at the Longmen Inn. The first thing to shoot during the day is the literary opera in the Longmen Inn. After more than a month of filming, everyone has gradually gotten better. Even He Qing and Mo Yan are becoming more and more comfortable performing at this time.
.
So I just made a few mistakes and saved a few shots, but there wasn't much that went wrong.
In the evening, the water truck came and everyone knew that the filming of the martial arts show was about to begin.
The reason why Xiangjiang's martial arts action movies have become a globally famous genre is because of the hard work of movie actors like Li Xiaolong and Cheng Long, and the other reason is because of the unconstrained ideas of their predecessors and the martial arts directors like Cheng Xiaodong.
Photographed.
Nowadays, some people call the editing of Xiangjiang martial arts movies a stormy image space.
When handling action in Hu Jinquan's martial arts classic "The Heroine", sometimes many editing scenes are characterized by smoothness and smoothness. Many editing scenes are characterized by smoothness and smoothness. The Heroine and the court's eagle dog are among the reeds.
The sequence of fighting and flying on the blade is 1 minute and 55 seconds, 21 frames, 22 shots, nearly 5 seconds per shot.
The scene in which Master Huiyuan uniforms the Imperial Eagle Dog is 2 minutes, 1 second, 19 frames, 24 shots, and an average of 1 shot of 5 seconds. The editing rhythm is slower than that of ordinary feature films. An important reason for this phenomenon is that in a specific
Under the premise of the plot, Master Huiyuan does not use force first, does not use weapons, and does not take lives. Therefore, the visual rhythm corresponding to this also presents a style of "downplaying violence".
In the Bamboo Forest Battle, Hu Jinquan used 1 minute, 50 seconds and 10 frames of narrative time from the thugs drawing their swords to finally falling to the ground. The narrative space of 56 shots, with an average editing rhythm of nearly 2 seconds per shot, deduced this classic martial arts movie.
action scenes.
In the 1970s, Bruce Lee's "The Way of the Dragon" (1973), at the end of the film, the "duel between two heroes" in the ancient Roman arena, can be called a classic scene in Chinese martial arts action movies. In this climax sequence
, starting from the close-up of the cat meowing until Tang Long defeats the opponent, a total of 5 minutes and 45 seconds, 11 rounds, and 86 shots.
An average of one shot takes 4 seconds. Although the psychological rhythm of the audience in this life-and-death confrontation is very tense due to the plot of the film, the time rhythm of video editing is not fast.
In the 1980s, the director spent 1 minute and 18 seconds on the final fight between Jue Yuan and Wang Renze in the film "Shaolin Temple" by the Yellow River, divided into 3 rounds and 34 shots, with an average of 23 seconds per shot.
In this narrative paragraph, the 15 seconds of the first round, 7 shots, show Jue Yuan jumping out of the water and starting to fight with Wang Renze. The 2nd round, 23 seconds, 8 shots, Jue Yuan and Wang Renze fight, until Wang Renze is defeated.
The third round of arm chopping is 40 seconds, 19 shots, until Jue Yuan takes over the force and kills Wang Renze.
In this classic scene of confrontation between two heroes, the purpose of editing the entire movie shot is not to highlight the "storm"-like visual impact of the action movie, but to focus on the complete expression of the specific martial arts movements.
In process.
As a martial arts action movie with martial arts athletes as the protagonists, the narrative focus of "Shaolin Temple" at that time was not simply the pursuit of speed and change, but always putting the true presentation of "martial arts" in the first place.
Such films also include the 1983 martial arts movie "Wu-Tang". The decisive battle between Chen Xuejiao and RB Ronin lasted for 39 seconds and 10 shots. An average of nearly 4 seconds per shot. This editing rhythm is almost the same as that of Li Xiaolong's "Mercy" in the 1970s.
Same as "The Dragon Crosses the River". Needless to say, in martial arts movies, even in general movies based on modern life, including non-action character dialogue, this kind of editing speed cannot be said to be fast. It can be seen that at this time, domestic
"The director's interest in martial arts action movies" is more focused on the content level of the film, rather than the level of presentation form.
This is also the difference between domestic film directors and Xiangjiang directors. The two sides have different focuses. One focuses on the hearty fighting, while the other pursues the completeness of the story.
Moreover, domestic directors are more pursuing the continuity of martial arts dramas, and they are more like one move after another, while directors in Xiangjiang are more creative and unconstrained in their handling of martial arts dramas.
But what the director of Xiangjiang is pursuing is exactly what the whole of Southeast Asia wants to see most nowadays.
Naturally, Cheng Xiaodong had to assist in the scenes filmed tonight.
Some of these extras are the Dragon and Tiger martial arts masters brought by Cheng Xiaodong in Xiangjiang, and some are members of the Shichahai Sports School martial arts team brought by Wu Jianye in Yanjing.
These people are all in their 20s and have reached the age to retire. If nothing happens, by the time they finish filming "New Dragon Inn", they will be signed by Wu Jianye to Tangting Culture.
Becoming the first batch of dragon and tiger martial arts masters in Tangting culture, Wu Jianye hopes that martial arts instructors like Yuan Baye, Hong Jinbao, Cheng Long and Cheng Xiaodong can emerge from them in the future.
At this time, what Wu Jianye has to do is to light a spark of martial arts instruction in the country, hoping to start a prairie fire in the future.
It's not just them, Wu Jianye even thought about finding suitable candidates from Peking Opera, Kun Opera and other theater troupes across the country to join the team after filming this drama.
At the beginning, Hong Jinbao, Cheng Long and Cheng Xiaodong all studied Peking Opera.
At the same time, Wu Jianye will send them to Xiangjiang in batches to study with the successful Kung Fu team in Xiangjiang.
"All departments are getting ready, ready to officially start filming!" Wu Jianye shouted with a loudspeaker.
The Longmen Inn in the night now had a creepy atmosphere. On the roof, there were several men in black holding steel knives, and the atmosphere became solemn.
The rain was pouring down, and the night walkers couldn't care less about the heavy rain. They searched every window.
The entire scene took more than two hours to shoot.
After this scene was filmed, it was time to do the indoor scenes.
The first thing to appear is Mo Yan's role.
It was Tan Yang from the Shichahai Sports School's martial arts team who filmed the scene opposite He Qing.
Wu Jianye was actually not too worried about their rivalry. After all, He Qing also came from the Kunqu Opera Troupe. Although he didn't know kung fu, he at least had some skills.
In addition, Cheng Xiaodong has been training them for several months.
As a result, it happened to be Wu Jianye's most reassuring scene. Apart from the stumbling block, it was Xu's first time to participate in the filming of a movie. Tan Yang was a little nervous and forgot to stop for a moment. As a result, he accidentally kicked He Qing in the stomach.
superior.
"ah"
Following He Qing's scream, Wu Jianye quickly shouted to stop and then ran over, "Is it serious?"
Tan Yang was at a loss and said, "Director Wu Wu, I didn't mean it!"
"What the hell is going on with you guys? Did you practice all the rehearsals before? Can't you shoot this thing well?" Wu Jianye yelled directly.
He Qing, who was lying on the ground holding his stomach and twitching, looked pale and was sweating.
At this time, Feng Pengtong had also come over with the team doctor. The team doctor checked it and said in a deep voice, "Director Wu, I'm afraid He Qing won't be able to film the subsequent scenes. Her body is a little hot. Plus
She was caught in the rain today and her personal physical condition made it impossible for her to continue filming!"
Hearing that He Qing could no longer shoot, Wu Jianye became even more irritable. He suppressed the anger in his heart and asked, "Is it serious?"
The team doctor said, "Fortunately, there is no damage to the body. I will rest for a few days and the fever will be gone."
Hearing that there was nothing serious, Wu Jianye finally calmed down. At this time, he also blamed himself a little. He should have used a stand-in, but he pursued the realism of the movie. In addition, Wu Jianye thought that they had gone through so long
Training, this level of martial arts, should be no problem
"Okay, Feng Pants, let's take He Qing back to the hotel first!" Wu Jianye said helplessly.
"OK!"
Then a nurse accompanying the team helped He Qing and got into the car back to the hotel.
Tan Yang walked up to Wu Jianye tremblingly, "Director Wu, it was all my fault just now, I"
At this time, Wu Jianye had also accepted this reality and knew that Tan Yang could not be blamed for everything, so he comforted him and said, "Okay, it has happened. It is useless to blame anyone. After all, no one expected that He Qing would
I have a cold, but after you go back, you still have to apologize to them in person!"
Tan Yang nodded quickly.
Because of He Qing's injury, the atmosphere at the scene became even more solemn.
Zhao Fei walked up to Wu Jianye and asked, "What should we do next?"
Wu Jianye said, "Let's film other people's scenes first!"
"Okay!" Zhao Fei nodded.
"Everyone should be careful in the next filming, and we must not make any mistakes again!" Wu Jianye shouted loudly.
As the filming continued, Wu Jianye discovered the gap between Tan Yang and others and the Dragon and Tiger martial arts masters brought by Cheng Xiaodong in Xiangjiang.
Tan Yang and others obviously couldn't let go at this time, and they made mistakes again and again, which caused Wu Jianye to curse again. However, Xiangjiang's Dragon and Tiger martial arts masters had long been used to injuries on the set, but they didn't suffer much.
Influence.
In the end, Wu Jianye had no choice but to remove Tan Yang and others, and all the thug scenes were completed by the people brought by Cheng Xiaodong.
"Take a good look at other people's photography and learn more about their experiences. It will be of great use to you in the future!" Wu Jianye said.
"Well!" Tan Yang and others looked a little listless.
On weekdays, they would also compete with the dragon and tiger martial arts masters from Xiangjiang, and their results were more wins than losses. However, during the filming, they were completely defeated by these dragon and tiger martial arts masters from Xiangjiang, and they were naturally shocked.
There is actually no way around this. If Tan Yang and others want to grow up, they must practice a lot. Just having theoretical knowledge is useless.
With the filming of tonight's scene completed, Wu Jianye ordered to rest.
When he returned to the hotel, Tan Yang walked to He Qing's room with an apologetic look on his face. After a sincere apology, he exited He Qing's room.
"How's it going? Does it still hurt?" Zhang Manyu stood beside He Qing and asked with concern.
"Much better!" He Qing's face was still a little pale.
Zhang Manyu complained, "You are the same. You have a cold and you have relatives. You don't ask for leave from Director Wu, and you go on stage to shoot the action scenes yourself. Are you really not afraid of hurting yourself?"
He Qing smiled bitterly and said, "I thought nothing happened."
Zhang Manyu: "It's a pity that there is no brown sugar here. Otherwise, I can make you some brown sugar water. You are the same. I told you last night not to let you go out. You have a cold, right?"
He Qing smiled bitterly
Knock knock knock!
At this time, there was another knock on the door outside the room.
Zhang Manyu muttered, "Who is coming here so late?" and went to open the door.
As a result, I saw Wu Jianye standing outside the door carrying a bag of unknown items.
"This is the brown sugar I just borrowed from the waiter in the hotel. I know there is a small pot in your room. Make some brown sugar water and drink it!"
Zhang Manyu quickly smiled and said, "Thank you, Director Wu. Just now we said it would be great if we had brown sugar water to drink."
Wu Jianye waved his hand, "Okay, drink it quickly. By the way, there are some ginger slices in it. Let's drink it together. It rained for a long time today, so don't catch a cold!"
Zhang Manyu thanks again.
At this time, He Qing also wanted to sit up and thank Wu Jianye. Seeing this, Wu Jianye quickly said, "Okay, you can lie down and recuperate your health in the past two days."
After saying that, Wu Jianye left.
After Wu Jianye left, Zhang Manyu smiled and said, "I didn't expect this tyrant on the set to have such a gentle side. Just now I went to ask the waiters to borrow brown sugar, but they all ignored me. I didn't expect that Director Wu would show up as soon as he arrived."
Got it!"
He Qing said with erratic eyes, "Yes!"
"Okay, just wait, I'll help you make some brown sugar water now." Zhang Manyu said with a smile.
Although the relationship between Zhang Manyu and He Qing cannot be said to be really good, at this time there are two actresses of them in the entire crew, so the relationship is still maintained well.
What's more, the two of them don't have much of a relationship of interest. After the movie ended, one stayed in China and the other went to Hong Kong.
