From Xiangjiang Martial Arts in the 70s

Chapter 20 Letter from Huang Bingyao

The matter was reported in the newspaper the next day. It is said that the first-hand material was provided by Zhou Huiting's company. Now everyone in the street knows that Laihao is going to fight the British. After reading the news, Laihao questioned his subordinates, but no one knew it was Who did it, but his eldest son was bullied by Henry and was seen by many people.

"It can't just end like this."

Li Hao knocked on his leading crutch, and ordered his subordinates: "Find it for me, who did it, I want to see this person, and find out who else bullied my son with Henry that day, I'm going to peel off their skins one by one."

As soon as these words were spoken, the streets were full of lame young men. Everyone knew that there would be unrest in the near future, and those who could avoid going out on the streets stayed at home.

Today is a big day for Wu Changyun to start. He is filming a martial arts scene. This time he did not invite a martial arts instructor. Wu Changyun personally demonstrated moves.

"Don't put on those airs, twisting and swinging, it's useless." Wu Changyun looked anxious, and stepped forward to stop the martial artist in front of him.

"Ours is a modern setting, not a costume film. Fighting is mainly about strength and expression. Don't make gestures before the fight begins. The movements must be smooth and have the beauty of coherent moves, but the fighting style must be quick and fast. You must be ruthless, do you understand?" Wu Changyun personally performed a set of moves neatly and neatly, and the people around him cheered.

"Who is this director? I listened really well." asked the new group performer on the first day of the start-up.

"You don't know. At this time, the director specially hired by our team has stayed abroad and made blockbuster movies. What is he called a new director now." A scene manager replied.

Wu Changyun has put a lot of effort into the action scenes this time, including how to correctly and reasonably interpret the scene where the protagonist has more than a dozen scenes, making full use of the diversification of venue props, allowing multiple enemies to approach from different directions and routes, using more Multi-cameras are used to capture the fighting scene. Enemies appearing from different angles will add tension to the atmosphere. As for the martial artists who cannot be drawn at the same time, let them hit the protagonist such as a cart, or throw sandbags, or from before Weapons are drawn out of the hidden places. In short, it is necessary to ensure that the whole martial arts scene is more immersive and closer to reality.

It took Wu Changyun a whole day to film this fighting scene. He had to fight with the martial arts group performers while correcting his mistakes. His voice was almost hoarse. In a short period of time, I figured out the feeling Wu Changyun wanted, which has helped Wu Changyun a lot now.

"Director Wu, I think what you said is really novel. I've never heard of this shooting method before. Where did you learn it?" Du Qifeng asked for advice seriously.

"Practical combat will tell the truth. Believe me, if you shoot more and watch more, you will be able to do it." Wu Changyun replied with a smile. Shooting more is fake, but watching more is real. If you compare the action movies of the 21st century with Comparing it to the 70s, it was really the high-speed rail and the greens competing in speed, crushing them in all directions.

Of course, Wu Changyun can't fully use the shooting techniques of the 21st century. The current audience may not buy it. For the key fighting scenes, the shooting techniques of the 70s must be used, and more are half-body, half-body close-ups and medium shots. Combined, in "Way of the Dragon", Bruce Lee kicked his legs to the camera, and then received a block from Chuck Norris with his hands, which made the audience feel that every kick was particularly visually shocking.

But there is another highlight today, which is a scene in which Wu Changyun's main character is shot. According to the plot requirements, the bullet hit the position very close to Wu Changyun's face. It is not difficult to apply for a pistol with blank bullets. However, relying on blank bullets to leave bullet holes at this distance was an extremely dangerous thing for Wu Changyun.If the gunman is not careful, he will hit Wu Changyun in the face. This is absolutely undesirable.

Wu Changyun took a pistol and fired a shot at the wall. Some debris broke off the surface of the wooden wall, but it did not achieve the visual effect Wu Changyun was after.

"Why don't we use sparks instead, and don't make bullet holes." Du Qifeng also advised Wu Changyun, because making bullet holes is really dangerous.

"No, what I want is a close-up shot." Wu Changyun is very firm. Nowadays, most directors are trying to avoid going overboard when making movies, and will not give this kind of close-up shot of the bullet point. Something I haven't seen before.

"I recorded this episode as a sideshow, and it will be placed behind the movie in the future."

Wu Changyun asked the prop master to punch a hole in the wooden wall, then buried a small amount of gunpowder in it, and covered the sawdust with a cut wooden cover.

"Are you ready?"

Wu Changyun swallowed, and stuck his head not far from the explosion point. It is human nature to be afraid, but what Wu Changyun is thinking about now is how to make this scene well.

Wu Changyun nodded, and the field manager took the slate with a "snap" and slapped it down, and then the gunman's gunshot rang out, the explosive point on the side of his face exploded, and sawdust flew out, and Wu Changyun heard everything with a "buzz" in his ears It disappeared, and the body rolled out towards the side.

Wu Changyun took out the earplugs inside, covered his side ears and asked, "How is it?"

"Yes, yes." Du Qifeng gave Wu Changyun a thumbs up.

Wu Changyun looked back at the picture just taken. It happened that the villain shot at the protagonist played by Wu Changyun.The camera captured the scene of sawdust splashing, and Wu Changyun's distorted face due to nervousness. It has to be said that Wu Changyun's expression in this scene is particularly in place, the main reason is that he is really scared and not pretending.

Even with earplugs, the impact of the sound just now was extremely strong, and the splash of sawdust scratched the back of Wu Changyun's neck.

"OK, pass this one." Wu Changyun looked at the time, it was already dark and it was no longer suitable for shooting, so he called off today's work.

The filming went on for three days like this, and during these three days, the filming gradually changed from martial arts to literary dramas. After the day's work was over, Wu Changyun and Fu Shun returned to the rental house, and happened to see the master standing downstairs.

"Master, why are you here?" Wu Changyun was a little surprised to see the master.

"Someone sent you a letter. The brothers didn't pay attention, so they put it in the mailbox all the time. I just took it out today. You can see if it's something important." The master handed a kraft paper portfolio to Wu Changyun.

Wu Changyun opened it and took a look. Inside was the script he had given to Huang Bingyao. In addition, there was a new stack of paper with the perfected script densely written on it.

"My God, Huang Bingyao actually agreed and changed it." Wu Changyun said to Fushun with the new script in his hand.

"Then what should we do? Let's start shooting."

"It's okay, it's okay, there's no rush. Let me take a look, it shouldn't be a big problem." Wu Changyun greeted the master and entered their new home. He suddenly remembered that the payment had not been settled to Huang Bingyao.Forget it, invite him to the set tomorrow.
