Director’s Legend

() The martial arts style of real bullets has always been a style that Shao Shuaijun admires very much. It is clean and neat, and it is extra exciting. It's just that the current real bullets haven't reached the maturity of "Ip Man" and other films. There are too many ostentations in the action, and the fighting is neither coordinated nor exciting.

Shao Shuaijun is not very good at martial arts, but he has seen a lot of movies, and he can tell the three, four, five, six.

"I want you to act not as a god, but as a powerful person. You have to be embarrassed. It is impossible for dozens of long spears to stab you, and you block them all with a huff. Even a strongman can't do this. Therefore, in martial arts, you have to increase the movement of your feet, run while fighting, turn around quickly to kill, the movements are quick and simple, but the lethality is huge."

"Isn't this completely overturning the previous rehearsal?" Dong Wei interjected.

"It's not completely subversive, but it's just to show that Pang Yong, played by the real bullet, is a normal person. Director Dong, you have to carve out his murderous movements. I hope it's the kind where the first move stabs the heart, and the second move is to tease Yin legs, using all kinds of methods." Shao Shuaijun began to explain his martial arts philosophy, he is always reasonable, his movements can be exaggerated, but he can't go against common sense in pursuit of aesthetics.

For example, when two armies confront each other, how can there be so many complicated moves? Simple is the truth. You slashed me, I dodged, I slashed you, you didn't dodge, you died. This is war. A heroic man can dodge attacks, but you cannot dodge his attacks. Then kill you.

Under Shao Shuaijun's efforts to change, Dong Wei had to re-arrange the scene for a long time. In the evening, everyone began to try the scene in front of the camera.

Naturally, everyone's performance in front of the camera was very rusty.

Shao Shuaijun nodded, and asked Qian Yongqiang: "Director Qian, what do you think?"

"It's a bit tasteful. In this way, the overall style of martial arts has changed. It really reveals the authenticity of the battlefield, and the picture can be carved to be more thrilling. After a few more days of practice, it will definitely meet the feeling we are looking for."

"Then Director Qian, you are here to hold the camera and keep this style."

"rest assured."

At that moment, Shao Shuaijun called out to Dong Wei and drove to the camp on Beipo. This camp is the main scene at the beginning of the movie. For this scene, it took half a month to rehearse. Gao Linbao, Gao Yang and Miao Chenshan spent almost all their time in this camp.

The bonfires, sheep skulls, leather blankets, and door curtains in the camp are all carefully thought out by Wang Cisheng, and they are completely in the ancient style of Qin Dynasty. On the hillside outside the camp, two mechanical lifting arms were raised high, Gao Yang and Miao Chenshan stayed on them, one on the left and one on the right, directing the rehearsal of the camp.

After Shao Shuaijun got out of the car, he took the walkie-talkie and informed the two of them: "Gao Yang, Miao Chenshan, you come down first, we have a meeting."

After everyone gathered, Shao Shuaijun said: "Just now when we were filming over there, we found some problems. Our martial arts style is a bit too attractive. I hope to be more realistic. Therefore, tonight we will try to rehearse first to see the effect. If it is the same problem, then Director Dong will rehearse the scene for you. If it is ok, then we will start filming tomorrow."

Under the command of Gao Yang and Miao Chenshan, the production crew hurried over. The props group began to arrange the props, and the lighting group and the electrician group were in their positions. Shao Shuaijun saw that he was almost ready, boarded the fence of a crane, and gave the order. The jib jerked up into the air.

Looking down from the fence, the whole camp came into view, and I felt very comfortable. The wind in the evening is no longer dry and hot, and it blows over the body, making people feel refreshed.

"Are all units ready?" Shao Shuaijun asked with a walkie-talkie.

"Props set is ready."

"The lighting group is ready."

"The cavalry team is ready."

"The second team of the horse team is ready."

"Three battle groups are ready."

"..."

"Alright then, Gao Yang is in charge of directing, and the rehearsal begins!"

Gao Yang yelled into the walkie-talkie from below: "The cavalry team started to play, and the prop team started to destroy the gate!"

Soon, the martial arts actors who were ready to go outside the camp quietly touched the gate and began to perform. Some shot bows and arrows, some attacked from behind, and some quietly opened the camp gate. The whole scene was very sharp. The actors who played the bandits, who were arranged to be hit by arrows, would fall down when they saw the opponent drawing the bow in martial arts. The cooperation was very good.

Shao Shuaijun couldn't help but began to nod, Dong Wei's arrangements for this kind of scene were indeed very good.

"The second team of the horse team started to play, the props team began to destroy the tents, and the third team of combat teams came out half a minute later. The fourth team of sand bandits counterattacked, and the fifth team of crowds fled in panic!"

After breaking through the gate, the Wang family army began to rush into the camp. At this moment, the number of people operating suddenly increased, and the entire camp was in chaos. Amidst Gao Yang's constant yelling, the battle was carried out in a disciplined manner. The damned one lay directly on the ground, and the heroic one rushed to the tent, and kept fighting in the tent.

If it weren't for the busy manipulation of props by some prop masters and the loud shouts of the commanders, this scene would not be much different from a real battle.

The whole rehearsal ended after ten minutes. Shao Shuaijun clapped his hands and got off the boom: "Director Dong, thank you for your hard work. The scene is magnificent and wonderful."

"Thank you director, this is my job." Dong Wei smiled lightly.

Shao Shuaijun changed the topic: "However, I think there is still room for improvement. The battle is too beautiful, without the excitement of the battlefield. We need to rearrange it and add a faster rhythm and more tactical styles. This is actually our We should invite a real military expert to assist us to integrate the ancient small-scale raid methods one by one. Let the scene be real and sharp, so that people can't help but get involved and dare not blink."

Dong Wei's smile disappeared and he frowned.

"Director, if this goes on like this, will the time exceed the budget? In fact, the scene in the desert has nothing to do with the main storyline, so there's no need to be so good looking?" Gao Linbao disagreed with Shao Shuaijun's opinion, and said with a straight face, " Besides, Director Dong has worked so hard for half a month to overthrow it like this, which is too unreasonable. I think it can be changed, but there is no need for a major repair."

"It's not a matter of being human, the problem is the style I want, which must be there. Director Dong will work harder and re-arrange."

Gao Linbao took a step forward: "Director Shao, you are so harsh, it is difficult for everyone to work. We have arranged this battle for half a month, from design to rehearsal, and the manpower and material resources invested cannot be finished in half a sentence. For an irrelevant plot, why spend such painstaking efforts? It can be solved with less perspective and more close-ups, why complicate it?"

"This is not a matter of complication, nor is it that I am harsh, nor is it irrelevant to the main plot! I want to show the fighting power of the Wang family army here, paving the way for the final battle between monsters. If it is just some simple fighting and killing, how about it?" Can deal with magical monsters. Also, I hope you all have a change of concept. "Painted Skin" is a big production with an investment of 200 million. I don't want to have a little sloppy, even the slightest sloppy! "

Shao Shuaijun glanced around, loudly.
