Han Lan has never played with three-section sticks before.

I only practiced for filming during this period, and my kung fu is obviously not perfect yet, but if the routine is divided into shots, it will be no problem.

As the two were ready, director Qi Shan shouted "Ike God" and the shooting started!

The group of performers at the scene immediately cheered and the sound of drums made the atmosphere even more heated.

The two slowly walked onto the ring.

Just as the referee was about to call "start", Daisuke Matsumoto raised his hand and interrupted in his distinctive Cantonese:

"Mr. Huo, I went back last night and thought carefully about what you said. I still stick to my opinion. Martial arts has its own levels."

"oh?"

"Mr. Huo, I don't need to destroy your sect. As long as I defeat you today, it will be enough and it will prove that I am right."

Daisuke Matsumoto tapped his chest lightly with his index finger:

"Mr. Huo, in the hearts of the world, martial arts are divided into high and low. The world will use their choices to tell us who is superior between judo and Chinese martial arts."

"And what I have to do now is to tell the world how they should choose!"

"Mr. Huo, please."

Daisuke Matsumoto's pronunciation of these lines is not very good, and most people can't understand the Cantonese with a JP accent, but it is quite funny to hear it.

But Han Lan didn't laugh this time.

These lines were added intentionally by him.

The ideas conveyed in the previous Huo Yuanjia movies are slightly different. This time "Fearless" needs to show the charm of Chinese martial arts and remind young people not to forget that humiliating history.

Because the humiliation is not over yet!

Just as Huo Daxia and the judo master argue in the movie, there should be no hierarchy in martial arts, but is there really no hierarchy in the hearts of the world?

Facing the camera lens, Huo Daxia, played by Han Lan, looked very solemn, as if he had followed the other person's words and saw the future.

This battle cannot be lost!

Han Lan cupped her fists and saluted: "Please."

Daisuke Matsumoto also bowed.

Then, the disciples from both sides presented their weapons.

On one side is a three-section stick and on the other side is a samurai sword.

Now when it comes to judo, it's basically two people wrestling there, but in the past, many samurai practiced kendo while practicing judo.

In order to make the fighting scenes more exciting, weapons are also introduced in the movie.

The camera hanging on the crane slowly lifted up to take a bird's-eye view of the entire arena.

After filming this segment, the main camera returned to the ring to shoot close-ups of the two.

Looking at Han Lan's image on the monitor, especially the look in his eyes, director Qi Shan almost lost his mind.

"It looks like, it really looks like..."

"What's so similar?"

"A great master."

"Qishan, have you ever met a great master?" Producer Xu said half-jokingly.

Qi Shan smiled and said: "I have seen it in old photos. In the black and white photos, the martial arts practitioners at that time had a sparkle in their eyes!"

"Have you got a bright eye?"

"The naval battle broke the backbone of the gentry and literati, but the backbone of the civilian warriors has not been broken. At that time, they had a god in their eyes!"

Lao Xu didn't expect that Qi Shan could speak such mature words at such a young age, and looked at him curiously: "When was the warrior's spine broken?"

"I wasn't interrupted, I was just overwhelmed by reality."

Qi Shan sighed softly and saw that the close-up shot was almost done. With a wave of his hand, the small bronze bell next to the ring rang, and the scene erupted into enthusiastic cheers again.

On the ring, Daisuke Matsumoto jumped up into the air with a samurai sword, turned around and rushed towards Han Lan first.

Han Lan held up a three-section stick to block the sword, and the two were in a stalemate for a moment.

"The camera zooms in for a close-up!"

"Okay! Let's go -"

After hearing the director's instructions, Daisuke Matsumoto immediately continued to slash at Han Lan with his knife. The camera changed its angle and filmed these knife attacks.

The fights on the set were far less thrilling than those seen after the movie was edited. Many shots had to be shot "one by one" and were not shot as coherently as in the movie. Moreover, the sound of the collision of knives and three-section sticks was not as loud as the sound of metal collisions.

Crisp and crisp, all require dubbing in post-production.

But what follows is a series of relatively long shots.

Daisuke Matsumoto slashed several times left and right, but Han Lan blocked him with a three-section stick, but he was also forced to the corner of the ring.

Next, Han Lan counterattacked, swinging the three-section stick in his hand, and the autumn wind swept towards Daisuke Matsumoto like a fallen leaf.

The distance was controlled very well, and it looked very thrilling, but in fact he couldn't hit Daisuke Matsumoto at all.

Daisuke Matsumoto also cooperated and retreated to dodge, and in turn was forced to the opposite corner of the ring.

The camera pulled back up to take a close-up of him.

This should be a rare time in his acting career that he can enjoy so many close-ups. As a stuntman, he actually shoots more of the stand-in shots without showing his face.

Daisuke Matsumoto knew that this was a very crucial film in his acting career, so he was very serious when filming, with a perfect facial expression. He roared and brandished his samurai sword again to kill Han Lan.

Director Qi Shan has no intention of stopping yet. He is very satisfied with the current state of the two. If he suddenly stopped and asked them to rest for a while and then come back to continue filming, it would be a completely different feeling.

"ah--"

Daisuke Matsumoto roared and exchanged a few blows with Han Lan.

This kind of continuous martial arts action is also a challenge for him. Fortunately, the two of them were already relatively familiar with it when they rehearsed. The rhythm of the fight was well controlled, and there was no situation where the rhythm was messed up and the opponent was accidentally injured.

.

"Unit No. 1 retreats, Unit No. 2 pulls away!" Qi Shan also directed nervously along with the rhythm of their fight. The main camera on the ring retreated to the corner, and Unit No. 2 on the crane began to adjust its angle to take overhead shots.

"Okay, stop for a moment. Unit 1 will follow, Han Shuai, get ready for the stick dance!"

Han Lan took a deep breath, turned the three-section stick in his hand, and danced like a stick flower.

Different from the stick method, the three-section stick is much more difficult to dance than a single stick because the two ends of the three-section stick are movable, and it is easy to lose control and knock yourself.

Before the filming started, Han Lan acted like a stick dancer in front of Fang Qiaorui, and then knocked herself on the forehead.

This time he danced very smoothly. The three-section stick danced in his hands for a circle and a half, then turned over with him and flew out: "Fuck! Be careful!"

"Nani?"

Daisuke Matsumoto, who stepped aside and was taking advantage of the camera to take a close-up of Han Lan to catch his breath, was stunned when he saw the three-section stick flying towards him. Then he roared angrily and slashed at him with his samurai sword.

There was a "clang" sound, and he was hit. But the three-section stick was very flexible, and the end section still hit his head.

He grinned and screamed in pain.

"Stuck!" Qi Shan had to shout to stop, and at the same time shouted to the medical team to go up and check the injury.

"Matsumoto, are you okay?" Han Lan also ran over nervously.

"It's okay, it's okay." Daisuke Matsumoto rubbed his head and waved his hand to indicate that the medical team did not need to come up.

The three-section stick used by the crew is covered with a layer of sponge to avoid such accidents. In fact, as long as it does not hit vulnerable parts such as the eyes, it will basically not be injured.
Chapter completed!
