Chapter 305 Pretend to have a bottom line
Ding Cheng stood up and bowed deeply, feeling very moved.

Study hard, deeply understand the opponent's extraordinary understanding of movements, try to make every move and style into various details, A is divided into B and C, B is divided into D and E, and finally study how to play C and D beautifully.

In comparison, Cheng Xiaodong's action scenes feel a bit like a pas de deux.It seems like there are a lot of fighting moves and moves colliding with each other, but in fact there is no transition between offense and defense, and there are no targeted moves.

The audience is purely watching the show, and it is easy to fall into a kind of numbness after watching the long-term action, such as the sword fight between Linghu Chong and Xiang Wentian played by Li Chengjie in "Invincible in the East".

Both of them unscathed?

To put it bluntly, he still pursues differences. Cheng Xiaodong focuses on expressing the state and artistic conception of fighting, but does not care to delve into the attack and defense of his moves, let alone explore his realistic microcosm.

Yuan Kui's fighting scenes are always obsessed with some kind of continuous attack. Party A attacks continuously, and Party B dodges or blocks continuously. Then it's Party B's turn to attack continuously, and Party A blocks...

The offense and defense did switch, but the reason for the switch is very vague, and the audience cannot see the process and entanglement of the switch.

The reason for the transition of offense and defense in his action scenes is usually arranged by the storyline, which belongs to the intervention of non-fighting plots, and takes over the internal offensive and defensive logic of fighting through peripheral storylines.

In the last scene of "The Bodyguard of Zhongnanhai", the killer played by Zou Zhaolong is good at leg skills in the scene, and Li Chengjie keeps dodging.Because the room was full of gas, it was inconvenient for Zou Zhaolong to attack with his legs in order to grab the faucet, thus becoming the Kung Fu Emperor with boxing and grappling techniques to turn defeat into victory.

Because the environment changed, not the action itself.

"If you want to fight well, you must know how to eat!"

Ba Ye said earnestly: "During the fight, even if the two sides are equally skilled, they will take each other's moves, but it does not mean that they will be knocked down. It is just a true manifestation of the inevitable omissions or mutual testing between the fighting parties."

"You have to learn how to gradually switch between offense and defense by taking moves, or explore the weaknesses of the opponent's moves by taking moves!"

"Once the audience can see the motives of the actors and every detail of the attack and defense of the actors, they will devote themselves wholeheartedly and understand the logic of the action itself..."

"For example, the third scene between you and Tony Jia today can actually be divided into three steps in my eyes..."

"The first step is to intercept the opponent's moves to stop the opponent's attack, making them temporarily unable to attack..."

"The second step is to actively attack the opponent so that he can only defend..."

"In the third step, you get him hit, which turns into an open attack, and finally knocks the opponent down."

"You hit him once, and he hits you again. We know each other well, regardless of strength or speed, the same move will definitely not work next time, right?"

Ding Cheng suddenly realized that it was so.

It is very simple to say that it is really easy to fight, but it still benefits a lot when it comes to theory.In other words, the types of offensive and defensive transitions are always used alternately and in combination, testing each other and gradually upgrading, gradually turning sporadic attacks into completely open attacks.

One side presses the other side to fight, so that the opponent's occasional defense becomes a long-term defense, and finally KO.

"You must pay attention when you are in a fierce battle!"

"Party A let Party B fall into the trap, using the second and third moves in a row, forcing it to be beaten for a long time. When this trend occurs, I will definitely let Party B resolve or hold back Party A's continuous attacks."

"Find an opportunity for him to catch his breath, recharge his energy, and continue fighting, otherwise it will turn into a fist fight, what's so good about it?"

"Why do audiences like to watch action movies? It is because of the interlacing and entanglement of the moves of the two sides. The two cycles must be properly maintained to maintain the transition between offense and defense in an alternating state..."

"Like two cornered beasts!"

"Use your claws..."

"Bite with your teeth..."

"Headbutt..."

"In the end, it would be nice to see both sides hurt and fall to the ground!"

Ding Cheng raised his thumb,

Really cool!
Take photos of the notes with the mobile phone, go back to the room to study carefully, and let Yaozai find out the most classic plays of Ba Ye, and make a deeper understanding.

I found that his action scenes are like a closely linked causal system, and each action has its own logic and meaning of existence.

In "The Matrix 2", he designed that Keanu Reeves was knocked down, turned backwards on his back, and at the same time there was another attack from behind. The reason for the rebound of the route, the transition of offense and defense, and the rationality and strength of the counterattack convinced the audience.

Not only that, each movement has a basic knowledge of mechanics and human body, but each reason is specific to each movement, so it cannot be done once and for all. With the emergence of new movements, it is necessary to follow up and establish new reasons in real time .

"Tai Chi Zhang Sanfeng" Qian Xiaohao swung his saber in the air and was dodged by Li Chengjie back. If he followed Li Chengjie directly in the air and continued to swing the second saber, he would have committed the problem of insufficient reason.

So Yuan Heping asked Qian Xiaohao to pounce forward after landing, so that he had enough strength to pursue and retreat.

You will find that all the characters he designed have the same physical performance as ordinary people, and have various life-like physical characteristics due to fighting.

This is one of the key things that makes the audience empathize with the characters in the fight.

The basic vital parts of the human body are the consensus of human beings, and the understandings of all countries and nationalities are basically the same.The attack on these parts can make the audience empathize, such as anti-joint force, fingers, attacking the waist, armpit...

The limit of a straight somersault in men's gymnastics is 900 degrees, about two and a half laps.Therefore, apart from the Matrix sci-fi series and comic-themed kung fu, Yuan Heping's action scenes hardly ever have a scene where the straight body flips more than two times.

Cuban athlete Sotomayor created the world record of 93 meters in the men's high jump on July 7, 27, and no one has broken it so far.Therefore, the jump height of his big movements is almost controlled within two meters.

Because the jumping movements are often done by the actors themselves, Diao Weiya only assists in the precision and complexity of the movements, in order to protect their authenticity and render realistic effects.

Ultimately, exaggeration in fighting is the moderate exaggeration and prolongation of force exerted and received.The extension of strength is by no means an avoidance of force, nor a distortion, nor a violation.

As for the possibility of leaping, the wall is smooth and climbing along the wall is far-fetched.You can design to jump back and forth between two walls to reach the roof. This is a wall-walking technique that conforms to physical logic.

Even Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon of the Conferred Gods is full of emphasis on the common sense of mechanics, Michelle Yeoh grabs the protruding bricks of the city wall and climbs upwards.Because it is a city wall, ancient and rugged, it is more credible to climb up.

Running with Zhang Ziyi on the roof with light work, various power points are densely distributed throughout the running process, generally no more than 1 meter.The most important thing is not to hang for too long.

Once the vacating time is too long, before the audience can deny its possibility with common sense, another focus must be arranged to make it a reason for the next vacating.

The entire running process is completed by relaying one power point after another.Aerial actors also use both hands and feet, just like the legs of a long jumper who stride back and forth in the air after taking off.

Now it seems that this may be the key reason why it can impress Oscar!
