The Seven Swords Fighting Wind and Fire has been filmed for a week and it has been all night long. It starts in the evening every day and ends in the early morning. The middle literary drama is filmed very quickly, only two overnights are used. The trouble is the martial arts drama. Because it is a realistic style
, One move, one move, a hard bridge and a hard horse, the on-site action guide first breaks down the designed movements, the actors move each other, and then shoot them in real time after they are mastered, which is very troublesome.
Moreover, Xu Ke is famous for his careful craftsmanship and very slow in filming. No wonder the new actress award winner Taibao recalls the past and always misses the happy time he used to film Xu Ke's movies with Yuan Kui.
"Make a few thousand yuan a day, and you can't take a shot in a day. You know, Director Xu has to do a day to make a Wiya, so we keep hydrating. We are happy to make money, so every martial artist will be the only one who has time.
Drinking and playing until they are messed up."
As the saying goes: God will open a window for you in order to close a door.
He Xin is extremely sensitive to music and can't learn English, but he can learn physical movements, including martial arts routines, and he can still play well in the fight.
In the past two days, he has been using Zhen Bullet every day, and Zhen Bullet is quite novel. You should know that he has a basic foundation in practicing martial arts since he was a child, and he is also a half-move guide in the group. When fighting, you can follow his understanding at any time.
Adjust the movements anywhere, but He Xin’s speed of getting started is not much slower than him. In many cases, he can basically play a role with him no more than twice.
"A Xin, is it OK?"
Tonight, we will film the last fight scene of the Seven Swords vs. Fenghuo Liantian. Zhen Zitan held the Li Minqing Gan Jian in a narrow alley and fought a final battle with He Xin, who was holding the Youlong Sword.
The narrow alley is very narrow, at most it is a little wider than the length of the sword. The two of them have to dodge and move around in the fight with long swords, which is extremely difficult. And instead of taking a photo, the camera must be in different camera positions up, down, left and right.
Take a photo so that you can constantly switch the shots during post-recording to create a tense and intense scene.
This narrow alley decisive battle was not originally in the script. It was the product of Mr. Xu's wild imagination. Then he touched Liu Jialiang, Brother Fen and Zhen Zitan before he designed a complete set of actions to fight against each other.
“OK!”
He Xin made a gesture to the old monster Xu.
"Okay, everyone is ready to start the real shot."
In the narrow alley, the camera is set on the elevator and shoots from top to bottom.
Xiong Xingxing, one of the action guides, personally helped him with a wit, patted him with a smile and said, "A Xin, I guess you can handle this scene alone, maybe you won't be able to deal with it."
That's right, Xiong Xingxing, as one of the crew's actions, is also He Xin's stand-in.
He is from Guangxi and has won the national martial arts championship many times. When he was filming "North and South Shaolin" by the Li River, he was attracted by Liu Jialiang and served as Li Lianjie's stand-in.
Since then, he has almost become Li Lianjie's royal substitute. Of course, the most famous one is the amazing and rebellious ghost foot seven in the "Huang Feihong" series directed by Xu Ke.
"Brother Xiong, I guess it's a big deal."
In contrast, He Xin was a little unsure. The main reason was that the alley was too narrow. He was ten centimeters taller than Donnie Yen. During the few matches just now, those movements of the flashing movements were very complete.
It's hard.
"Try it, I'll save myself the makeup and change my clothes."
After Xiong Xingxing helped him to buckle the Wiya's buckle, he carried it hard to ensure that everything was foolproof.
In fact, this scene of hanging steel wire mainly uses the power of steel wire to make some difficult rolling movements, unlike He Xin's previous flying movements, which really needed to be very cautious at that time.
If there is a mistake, it will be a death.
"Brother Qiang will still be happy with you, so let it go, Brother Xiong, I can't beat him." Donnie Yen, who was standing opposite him, smiled.
In his previous life, He Xin had seen a lot of negative news about Donnie Yen online. After all, Ip Man, a master of kung fu, is popular! Some people have low emotional intelligence and bullying Zhao Wenchao, but after this contact, Donnie Yen
He gave him a good impression. He is quite a simple person, he is very serious in filming, and he has a tendency to be a martial artist. When he is fine, he often competes with the martial artists in the group. He is indeed very good at fighting, and He Xin has also curiously followed him.
He tried it once, but in a photo he was knocked down. However, the only thing he couldn't beat was Xiong Xingxing.
In fact, no matter what, the fact that Donnie Yen, who was later generations, changed his nationality from the United States to Chinese nationality is worthy of respect. Unlike some celebrities who always say that they are patriotic and are trying hard to make money in the country, their identity has already been
He is a foreigner.
"Scene 87, 1 shot!"
Then the scene was recorded and the executive director shouted:
“A!”
He Xin was distracted by the Youlong Sword at Zhen Zi Bullet. Zhen Zi Bullet turned sideways, and the Qinggan Sword in his hand was swung out. He Xin was ready, and withdrew the Youlong Sword, went in front of him, and the sword tip was on the wall.
A deep scratch appeared.
The two square swords confronted each other for a second, and Zhen Zi kicked it out with a ball. He Xin followed the power of the wire rope and flew backwards, supporting his legs on both walls with one hand, and the sword in his hand was still attacking the opponent.
.
The two of them had fed these moves many times before the start of the shooting. They were very skillful in fighting and would not hurt each other and not lose their excitement. The attribute of the Dragon Sword is attacking, and the Qinggan Sword is the main guard, so He Xin's moves from the beginning
They are all focused on offense, while Donnie Yen focuses on defense, but with his personality as Chu Zhaonan in the film, he occasionally counterattacks.
For example, Donnie Yen was forced to retreat step by step by step by step, but with the advantage of the environment in the narrow alley, Donnie Yen suddenly supported the wall and flew into the air, and slashed down fiercely with one sword. He Xin retreated to defend the sword, and the offense and defense were instantly exchanged.
The sword tips of both sides occasionally crossed the wall, marking sword marks.
"Card!"
This time, the director didn't need to shout a stop because the director's monitor was located next door. Xu Ke, who was staring at the monitor screen, suddenly shouted a stop.
"A Xin, your figure is still a bit hard. Donny, your attack is more fierce."
"knew."
“OK!”
The two responded at the same time.
When filming action scenes, it is not about the level of acting skills, but it depends entirely on the completion of the action. Therefore, this is also the reason why there are few or almost no action actors favored by awards.
The staff completed the sword marks drawn from the two people on the wall and started shooting again.
"Card!"
“Do it again.”
"Card!"
"A Xin, the offense is more domineering, and the momentum is enough!"
"Card!"
"Donny..."
The first shot was shot seven or eight, and the two of them took a break twice during this period. After all, the physical requirements for shooting action scenes are very high.
However, the two of them have long been accustomed to the director's meticulousness and harshness in action scenes. There are seven or eight shots in this scene, and if they are not done, they have to shoot two or three all night. Not much of the night has passed, and even one shot has been there.
Not passed.
"A Xin, come again!"
Compared to He Xin's fatigue and a little irritable mood, Zhen Zitan still looked enjoyable and was in a very good spirit.
The two continued to complete the pre-designed fighting movements.
After taking seven or eight shots, the two of them had already become familiar with their own movements. Before they knew it, they started to make the automatic movements faster and the fight became smoother.
Xu Ke, who was staring at the monitor screen, had a beard raised at this time, with a satisfied expression on his face. He asked the actor to come over and over again, with this purpose.
It sounds strange. Even if the actors practiced their movements before the filming, they could not be as good as those who came over and over again during the actual filming, and the effect of coming is better.
It may be that the actors are more focused during real-life shooting, or this is a special attribute of the actors, and there will always be differences in performances in front of and outside the camera.
At this time, in the narrow alley, He Xin and Zhen Zibang were coming and going, and as the swords of both sides continued to mark sword marks on the wall, they were having a lot of fun.
I saw Zhen Zi's bullets rise into the air, slashing the heavy sword, and then interchanging the offense and defense. When He Xin retreated back to defend repeatedly, he could clearly see that although the opponent was still wearing a paralyzed face, his eyes showed excitement.
The sword in his hand stabbed him frequently like a poisonous snake, with one move tighter.
He Xinqiang was in a state of energy and retreated according to the established movements while constantly flashing, waiting for an opportunity to counterattack.
"Dang!"
The Qinggan Sword that Zhen Bulleted fiercely was blocked by the Youlong Sword in his hand again. Then when He Xin was about to lean on his head and switch off the offense and defense again, he saw Zhen Bullet's Qinggan Sword tremble and stabbed him in the face again.
He Xin's body had already made forward movements, and at this time, Zhen Zibang stabbed him with a sword. This was obviously not a designed action. No need to ask, this guy must have been having fun and didn't stop it.
action.
He Xin couldn't help but scream inwardly, he was about to suffer!
Unfortunately, his body's center of gravity had moved forward at this time and there was no way to avoid it. Not only him, but also the sword in front of him stabbed out again, he suddenly found that He Xin was actually coming towards the sword. Only then did he realize that he was
The move was wrong, but the sword's rush had already gone out and there was no way to take it back. In desperation, he could only lift the sword upwards and try to avoid the other party's face.
He Xinyan watched the tip of Qinggan Jian's sword become bigger and bigger in his eyes. When he wanted to brake urgently, he subconsciously closed his eyes and leaned back as much as possible.
Unfortunately, he was still half a step slower. He felt a sharp pain in his right eye, and then a piece of black in his right eye that was originally closed was instantly occupied by red.
"Bang!"
The bronze dragon sword in his hand fell to the ground, covered his right eye with both hands, screamed, and fell to the ground with his back.
The process sounds quite long, but it actually happened almost in the flash. When Donnie's sword stabbed out again, Xiong Xingxing, who had been guarding the movement guide next to him, had already realized something was wrong, but he just opened his mouth to think
He shouted to stop, and before the sound could be heard, He Xin from there was already covering his eyes and screaming and falling to the ground.
And blood quickly overflowed from the cracks of his fingers.
