Actor's Life Simulator

Chapter 17 Martial Arts Style
Although he thought so in his heart, Deng Tao obviously would not show it at this time. He smiled lazily, then quickly got up and ran to lead the horse.

This morning I will be filming the big scene in "The Empire of Heaven" where the giant Buddha is about to collapse.

This scene is very complicated after editing. On the one hand, Di Renjie discovered Shatuo's conspiracy and rushed to rescue Wu Zetian at the last moment; , and finally there are various special effects scenes when the giant Buddha collapses to show the shock of the giant Buddha's collapse.

Of course, it is impossible to shoot so many scenes in one go, but this morning is the most complicated scene in their martial arts team: Di Renjie rushes to save Wu Zetian and Sha Tuo fights on the horse.

After Fatty Hong received the martial arts design for "The Empire of Tongtian", he was very excited, because one of the biggest gimmicks in the entire movie "The Empire of Tongtian" was the thirty-story Buddha built by Wu Zetian to show her power. Fatty Hong once wanted to encourage Xu Ke to actually build a thirty-story giant Buddha with scenery in Hengdian, and then asked Di Renjie and his opponents to knock it down from the top of the Buddha's head. For the specific action scene, please refer to "The Legend of Shushan" ’s giant Buddha battle, or the Leshan Giant Buddha battle in “The Wind and Cloud”.

This idea probably made Fatty Hong so excited that he reportedly didn't sleep for several days, but Xu Ke finally stopped him in time.

Building such a giant Buddha can cost more than half of the entire film's budget, so why not make other things?So in the end, the big Buddha in "Tiantian Empire" only built a few indoor scenes and partial models, and the overall appearance and collapse of the big Buddha were all replaced with special effects.

This made Fatty Hong quite regretful. The original battle from the head of the Buddha to its feet would undoubtedly be greatly eclipsed if placed on the giant Buddha with special effects. Fatty Hong could only cancel this kind of scene and use it from other angles. Many martial arts scenes have been added, such as this circus.

In this scene, Sha Tuo first rode on a horse, and then Di Renjie came out from a puma next to him, and then the two began to jump on the horse, hitting while jumping, from the horse to the horse, and Di Renjie was pushed off the horse by his collar. Then he grabbed the horse's body with both hands to prevent himself from being pushed down. This stalemate shot, coupled with the speed of the galloping horse, creates a sense of tension. The whole action scene is designed to be tight and intense.This is the type of martial arts movements that Hong Jiaban is best at designing.

After entering the industry, Deng Tao learned from Wang Jingke and others that in fact, although they are all martial arts instructors, the martial arts design styles of each martial arts instructor team are different.

For example, the famous Yuan Baye’s Yuan Jiaban, their movements are characterized by being good at designing different styles of martial arts for them according to the characteristics of the characters. The action styles designed by Ba Ye for each character are completely different. Lin Chong’s marksmanship is chic, beautiful, serious and regular, while Lu Zhishen dances his Zen stick with force and looks like a madman. Lei Heng is good at jumping, so he simply put a trampoline for the actors to dance all the way. Fighting, proficient in various styles of martial arts, the profound skills make Baye's action design very personal, and directly created the title of China's No. [-] martial arts; besides, the famous Van Loon's family class, the movements are humorous, funny, and extremely flexible. He is good at using various surrounding props to do small-scale fast martial arts scenes, the so-called "give me a furniture city, and I can single-handedly challenge the whole world"; and the martial arts design characteristics of Hong's class are very consistent with the action style of Fatty Hong in the team, and the exquisite It is fist to flesh, fast and agile, fierce and thrilling. In the martial arts design of Hongjiaban, the fighting speed of the two sides is generally extremely fast. Considering the general rules of photography, everything serves to set off the tension of the action.

Therefore, Fatty Hong will make a lot of use of the surrounding scenes to make people fight on the bench, on the table, on the club pile, and on the galloping carriage. Even if you fight empty-handed, you must increase your speed and ability. Power scenes, such as letting the characters hold sticks and daggers, erupt from stillness to movement in an instant, and the interlacing sounds of sticks and daggers are endless.

This is also the reason why Fatty Hong was obsessed with letting Di Renjie fight all the way down from the big Buddha. The two were dueling on top of the tall Buddha. Thinking about this scene, it was exciting.

Now Xu Ke refuses to give him the Big Buddha, so Fatty Hong can only use some off-site factors to increase the excitement. For example, in this fighting scene on a galloping horse, it is very interesting to use the speed of the galloping horse to increase the excitement of the whole scene. Home class style.

After studying for a few days, Deng Tao also understood that this kind of martial arts scene that reflected the style of Hong Jia Ban was also the best place for Hong Jia Ban martial artists to show their skills. Even if he only watched from the sidelines, he could learn a lot, so Deng Tao Tao also worked very hard today.

Deng Tao has been in Hong's class for half a month, and has honed his physical ability from beginner to advanced level. Now one of his physical skills shows the initial physical level, 85/100, which has reached this level. After that, Deng Tao found that the increase in his physical skill points was no longer five to ten points at a time like before, but was increasing bit by bit. It seemed that the more it increased, the slower it became. It had not moved for several days recently. After a while, Deng Tao was also very troubled by this. He wanted to improve his physical skills quickly, so he cherished various learning opportunities.

After he started filming, he threw all other thoughts out of his mind and began to carefully watch how Wang Jingke and others conducted martial arts instruction and design.

"Andy, you fight like this..." Wang Jingke stood next to Liu Tianwang and gestured with Liu Tianwang in costume. As he spoke, his eyes couldn't help but glance at Deng Tao, who was holding a horse nearby and listening carefully.

Of course he knew what Deng Tao was thinking. Deng Tao had been in Hongjiaban for more than half a month. At first, Wang Jingke had some doubts about the martial arts amateur he had brought from Hengdian, thinking that Deng Tao might not be able to endure the hardships of martial arts. But Deng Tao's hard work over the past half month is surprising.The growth of Deng Tao's abilities was even more unexpected than Wang Jingke's.

Wang Jingke is considered a fledgling martial artist in Hong's class. Compared with the other martial arts instructors who are in charge of their own affairs, the talents under him are really lacking. Even because of his own qualifications, he can't even suppress a guy like Zhuang Zhijie, so Wang Jingke has also always wanted to cultivate some of his direct descendants in the Hong family class. After a few days of observation, he found that Deng Tao is indeed a good seedling of martial arts, and he also wanted to train Deng Tao under his subordinates to become a capable general. .

What's more, Deng Tao made such a big splash in front of Fatty Hong yesterday, so Jing Ge naturally didn't hesitate to give him some technical guidance.

So after talking to Liu Tianwang, Wang Jingke went to Deng Tao's side. Wang Jingke patted him on the shoulder, intending to encourage him to tell him the secret of today's scene design.

At this time, I suddenly heard a sentence in Cantonese: "Oh, I don't feel very comfortable today. I don't want to shoot this scene."

Hearing this voice, the two turned their heads to look, and saw Zhuang Zhijie, who was holding a costume, complaining to Bai Wen in Cantonese with an uncomfortable expression on his face.

Wang Jingke couldn't help frowning and hurriedly walked over and asked Zhuang Zhijie, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

Zhuang Zhijie shook his head and said, "I don't have any strength today. I'm afraid I won't be able to shoot this circus, Wang Sheng."

Hearing this, Wang Jingke was stunned for a moment, and then his face became stinky.

In today's scene, the person who plays Shatuo and Liu Tianwang will stand on horseback and fight each other while hanging wires.

Fatty Hong specially instructed that the horses in this scene should not be replaced by fake horse props, but real horses must be used to highlight the exciting feeling of the horse running. As long as props are used to shoot it, it will not be the case at all son.

The danger of this scene is also here. Filming with animals is always uncertain. Ma Ke doesn't care about you, as long as he is frightened, he will scatter his hooves and run away.

The two actors have to stand on the horse and fight. Although the wire is hanging for safety, it is very possible to accidentally fall. For example, the rented horse in this play has a back height of at least 1.5 meters. If you accidentally fall from the top and hit your head and face, the possibility of losing your appearance is not small.

So this kind of play can only be done by Wu Xing as a stand-in.

Sha Tuo's actor is Liang Yingdi, and Di Renjie's actor is Liu Tianwang, both of whom are extremely precious and cannot be hurt. The two only shoot a few shots when the characters need to show their faces. The dragon and tiger warriors did it.

Yesterday it was agreed that Zhuang Zhijie would come to Joe for the scene, but he suddenly changed his mind when he was about to play. Wang Jingke couldn't help but coldly said: "Why didn't I see you yesterday and said something was wrong?"
