Chapter 577 Classic Action (Two in One)

On the day when the filming of the Once Upon a Time movie series started, Xie Cheng arrived at the scene.

In fact, Yang Yi and the others were filming "Once Upon a Time in China" at this time, and the second film "Once Upon a Time in China" that he participated in was far from being scheduled for filming.

However, Xie Cheng still came. After he took the role of Nalan Yuanshu, he couldn't wait to star in this movie. In the first half of the year, except for the major online movie that he had signed a contract with before filming, he did not audition for other movies, and he concentrated on "preparing" for the role of Nalan Yuanshu.

Xie Cheng's preparations were divided into two aspects. One was to practice stick skills more diligently. In half a year, he didn't know how many white wax martial arts sticks he broke at home. If Yang Yi hadn't reminded him not to tan too much, he might Xie Chengdu was able to tan from wheat-colored skin to a charcoal-like complexion.

Another is to follow Director Yang Yi's requirements to understand the role of Nalan Yuanshu more thoroughly, improve his acting skills, and not to disappoint the director on the set.

Improving acting skills is a big challenge for Xie Cheng.

He was not an acting person originally. He went to study in the middle of the school. He also studied martial arts at the Sports Academy. Therefore, after so many years of acting, he can only perform a few roles that suit his acting style with impressive effects on the audience. The other roles are either ordinary or have the same feeling.

Obviously, Nalan Yuanshu does not belong to the type of character that Xie Cheng is good at, "a character with a poor background, a humble status, a stubborn personality and strong kung fu". If Xie Cheng wants to play Nalan Yuanshu well, he must step out of his own way. The comfort zone shows the aristocratic temperament of Nalan Yuanshu.

If your acting skills are not enough, experience will make up for it!

Xie Cheng thought about it for a long time, and finally decided to pay for it out of his own pocket and sign up for classes to learn horse riding, archery, and even learn English, chess, calligraphy and painting.

Yang Yi also started to demonstrate with gestures in the open space.

Although he was not stepping on a ladder, but an apple box used by the crew as a stepping stone or as a prop, Deng Xingyong, who is over 60 years old, is still very agile, soaring, turning, and kicking in one go.

In addition to being the actor of Yan Zhendong, Deng Xingyong is also the action director of this film. Therefore, before filming, Deng Xingyong discussed his action design with Yang Yi.

"Master, I think we can't just punch hard to the ground. The fight scenes between Yan Zhendong and Huang Feihong should also reflect Yan Zhendong's toughness in the iron cloth shirt with a golden bell, and Huang Feihong's agility and gracefulness. Characteristics!" Yang Yi gave a different opinion.

Yang Yi paid for his room and board for the past two months, and he readily asked Le Zehan to arrange for someone to book a flight for Xie Cheng.

Whether it is the design of the actions or the arrangement of the shots, they are all very difficult, not to mention that the actors have to do it over and over again until a shot is taken that satisfies Yang Yi!

Even if Yang Yi had the original film as a reference, he didn't dare to say that this scene could be shot in one day. The crew had reserved five days for it in their schedule.

In terms of martial arts, even if Yang Yi worshiped Deng Xingyong as his teacher and was a disciple of Yuan Kui, Xie Cheng didn't think Yang Yi could be anything special.

"Yes, according to your idea, didn't I design Huang Feihong to step on the ladder and turn around to give Yan Zhendong a series of kicks?" Deng Xingyong directly demonstrated it to Yang Yi.

Xie Cheng came to the crew with a learning mentality, but this learning refers to acting skills.

Of course, fighting scenes are not that easy to film well, especially in Yang Yi's storyboard design, the two of them fought so hard that they almost demolished the warehouse, and they had to step on ladders and jump up and down to fight.

Xie Cheng was also called a genius when he was a child, and because he had acted with Kung Fu superstars since he was a child, he was unparalleled in the limelight at that time, and the media felt that his future would be limitless. As a result, who knows what fate will do to people?

Xie Cheng would not underestimate Yang Yi, he just didn't think he could learn anything about martial arts from Yang Yi.

This idea was completely overturned on the third day he came to the crew!

That's not to say that the director can't put forward his own requirements, but Yang Yi no longer puts forward the effect he wants. He starts to interfere with the action director's work and design the actions himself.

Xie Chengdu, who was watching from the side, couldn't help but clapped his hands and praised, Master Deng is always getting stronger!

"Yes, but I think we can also add some more cool moves. For example, as you said just now, master, Yan Zhendong used the skill of throwing things to come and beat Huang Feihong. Huang Feihong could step on the ladder, back up continuously, and then Standing on one leg, it’s a bit like a golden rooster standing on its own.”

In this film, the actor who plays Yan Zhendong is Yang Yi's master Deng Xingyong. Yang Yi assigned this unhappy role to his master. Deng Xingyong, who had similar experiences in acting before, can really play it well!

How many years has Yang Yicai practiced Kung Fu? How many years has he practiced kung fu?

No matter how talented a person is, it is impossible for him to practice martial arts to perfection in two or three years in his thirties!

And who isn’t a genius?

Xie Cheng knew that Yang Yi had great acting skills and that he was the best actor in Berlin no matter what. But in his heart, what he wanted to learn from Yang Yi was just acting skills.

There was a fight scene to be filmed on the third day. The crew did not follow the plot progress of the script from beginning to end, but made the most efficient shooting plan based on the rental period of the filming location and the actors' schedules. What they were going to shoot today was the final showdown between Huang Feihong and Yan Zhendong in the Shahe Gang's warehouse in "Once Upon a Time: Top Gun".

It's not that Xie Cheng is conceited, that's what common sense should be.

Xie Cheng was a little confused, why did the director start to intervene in the action design of the action director?

It's not that Xie Cheng doesn't know how to ride horses and archery, but what he learned before was all about skills, how to ride well and shoot accurately, rather than how to ride gracefully and shoot freely!

Half a year later, Xie Cheng didn't know how he was doing. As soon as he heard from the crew that the filming of the Once Upon a Time movie series had started, he went to Yang Yi to apply, hoping to join the cast in advance and follow everyone to get a feel for it.

When Xie Cheng is filming, he often has to listen to the action director. Unless the crew cannot afford a good action director, he has to choreograph the fighting actions himself.

Isn't his master, Director Deng, angry that Yang Yi is overstepping his authority like this?

Deng Xingyong is really not angry!

"The golden rooster is independent. Isn't it easy for the body to lose balance on a horizontal ladder?" He touched the beard stubble on his chin specially left for Yan Zhendong. Under Xie Cheng's surprised gaze, he actually started discussing with Yang Yi.

Xie Cheng didn't know that this was not the first time Yang Yi had intervened in the work of action guidance.

As early as when they were filming "Dragon" and "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", Yang Yi was often involved in the design of martial arts movements.

<divclass="contentadv">At first, Deng Xingyong doted on this talented apprentice and didn't pay much attention to his behavior that crossed the line. But later, Deng Xingyong found that Yang Yiti's suggestions were very helpful. The movements he designed were even appreciated by Deng Xingyong carefully. I thought it was very subtle, and when placed in the plot and characters, there was no sense of inconsistency at all!

Since Yang Yi had such good ideas, and he was also a screenwriter and even a director of TV series and movies, and had a deeper understanding of the works, Deng Xingyong went along with the flow and happily maintained this negotiated working state with him.
