Chapter 305 The road to revival of martial arts movies

The literary drama ended, and the time came to 8:30, and it officially entered the highlight of tonight.

Action is the nature of movies, because movies are audio-visual art that uses actions to express thoughts and emotions.

Therefore, action is a natural core element in martial arts movies, referring to the physical movements performed by the protagonist to complete the established tasks in a prescribed situation.

Generally speaking, actions have two major attributes: 1. All actions are produced by will; 2. All actions have a certain purpose.

Therefore, in martial arts movies, as the designer of martial arts dramas, the action director must combine the script to let the actors know what they want to do in the scene, why they do it, and how to avoid the walking dead-like "fighting for the fight".

"Old Zhao, the fusom ninjutsu you played Hattori Chijun learned, the way you hold the knife should be like this..."

...

"Teacher Cao, you are like this..."

...

"Teacher Li, you are like this..."

...

Django's "directorship knowledge" has been upgraded to the master level, and there are many deeper things, including action design.

but.

He was still not satisfied with this, and he also had to use [Star Card: Tsui Hark] and had to make these two martial arts scenes perfectly as much as possible.

Tsui Hark is not only the director and producer of "The Smiling and Proud Wanderer: The Oriental Unbeaten", but also one of the screenwriters.

The first part of "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer" was filmed by Hu Jinquan. The technique is old-fashioned and rigorous. The story follows the original story, is not good at movements and special effects, and the rhythm of the film is slow.

In the second part, Tsui Hark and Cheng Xiaodong began to subvert the traditional style without any scruples. The practice was to interpret the original spirit of Jin Yong and change the story from the spirit.

A reporter once interviewed Jin Yong: "Tsui Hark's "Oriental Invincible" is loved by many of your readers. He thinks it has produced the taste and spirit of your novel. Why don't you recognize his adaptation? He is a recognized martial arts film and an expert in action films."

Jin Yong expressed his dissatisfaction without any concealment: "I don't like him. He doesn't understand martial arts. He made "The Legend of Swordsman in Shushan" unfathomable, and changed my novel "The Swordsman" from a man to a woman, and played it with a woman. A man's transformation will change in personality. The process is slow, complex, changing, and processless, and involuntary. It is not as simple as it is in the movie. He later wanted to buy my novel to make a movie. I said that my friend would do it, but the novel will not be sold to you, so I don't want to cooperate."

It can be seen that in the story after Tsui Hark changed, Jin Yong's style has basically become the background color and set. The adapted movies basically cannot see the original work, leaving only the name "Tsui Hark".

In Django's words, there is no worry about this, because this is Blue Star, and there is no original novel.

With a high-demand attitude, these two martial arts scenes were filmed until four in the morning.

"Thank you all for your hard work." Django sincerely thanked everyone and said, "Breakfast was prepared for everyone in the tent at the front."

His crew hired a chef to make three meals a day, and did not order them at an outside restaurant.

He has always been unscathing in food, drinks, water and other things.

"Dr. Jiang did not lie. This drama is different from "Little Fish and Flowers" and "Xiaobao and Kangxi".

“How to say it?”

"Martial arts, the action design and martial arts name are set one by one, and it is very smooth and chic."

"That's right, in today's screenwriter or director who refuses to take the time to explore the possibilities of martial arts movies, Django, who is still exploring the possibility of martial arts movies, is the screenwriter or director who refuses to take the time to take advantage of the connotation of chivalrous and is still exploring the possibility of martial arts movies.

"The key is that Linghu Chong's martial arts scenes have not been filmed, and the fights between supporting roles are so exciting. What would it be like when the protagonist comes on stage?"

"Stop talking, it makes me feel itchy."

...

The two staff members were eating big buns while chatting about the two martial arts scenes they filmed last night.

As the only self-produced genre film in China, martial arts movies once almost swept the world, with influence spread across the Chinese world, and have become part of the output of cultural soft power.

However, since the millennium, martial arts films have inevitably declined.

Django's appearance first revived martial arts TV series, and later announced the shooting of martial arts movies and allowed fans who like this type of movie to see hope.

Although the effect of the star card he used only lasted for an hour, there were many useful things left. In addition to the previous [Star Card: Chu Yuan] and [Star Card: Cheng Xiaodong], three big shots who have used martial arts to shoot martial arts.

Combining their experience, ideas and characteristics, on the basis of integrating the movies of predecessors, he also puts forward three efforts in technological innovation, listening to wonders and spiritual cores, forming a unique martial arts aesthetic system and creating his own world for the audience.

Pei Jie stopped working for one and a half days, and only did one thing on the set, watching others act.

but.

Just looking at it is not possible. You should combine what Django said and try to find a suitable acting method for you.

Pei Jie was even more shameless and went to ask for powerful actors like Li Sheng, Cao Hua, and Zhao Tianwen.

One day and a half is short, and it is impossible to make a rapid progress in acting skills.

However, with the help of everyone, he got to know the difference between a stand-in actor and a real actor in acting, and he also understood how to take care of other people's rhythms.

On the day of construction, the change was so big that Django gave him a thumbs up.

It's true that children can teach.

And one trick, one trick, and one trick, one acting every day.

This made Liu Ya, Ling Xue and Zhang Jiayi, who worked with Django for the first time, stunned. Is the legendary "one-hour guidance" really so amazing?

They all want to give it a try, who would think that their acting skills are too good?

Little did they know that they misunderstood that Django guided Pei Jie and did not use star cards.

but.

His current abilities, even without star cards, are comparable to professors from the Film and Television Academy.

But Liu Ya and the others don’t know. Anyway, whenever they have free time, they will ask for advice with shame.

Django did not refuse anyone and did not hold back his guidance.

Such actions made his image in the minds of several actresses taller.

—————

Day after day, "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer: The Oriental Unbeaten", which has been filmed for more than a month, has arrived in the National Day of the New Year in a blink of an eye.

Django gave the entire crew three days off because "Fast and Furious: Tokyo Drift" has been completed and entered the post-production stage, and he has to determine a production direction for the production department.
