Entertainment: I really want to make progress

The movie "Alone" is not a pure action movie.

It is a plot action film with emotion as the driving core and action as a way to vent violence.

The tone of the entire film is one of clean, one-hit kills.

But one-hit kills must also be beautiful. For example, Zhang Zhen in "The Grandmaster", the overbearing lethality of Bajiquan left a deep impression on the audience.

Chen Musheng and Yuan Heping discussed it for a long time based on the drawn shots, but they still had some new ideas when filming.

"Ah Tang, I have an idea."

Yuan Heping felt that it was too simple to use guns to deal with several criminal gang thugs, so he needed to add a few more moves, the kind of one-shot killing moves that would highlight the strength of the male protagonist.

"Try filming a segment based on Master Ba's ideas."

Zhou Yutang also respected Yuan Heping's opinions.

It's not just because of his status in the world. Yuan Heping has been working in the action film field for most of his life, and it is no longer enough to describe him as experienced.

This is about to become sperm.

As long as Zhou Yutang describes the effect he wants to him, he can immediately arrange a beautiful way to express the movements.

Plus Zhou Yutang after special training.

Using this period of time, the moves are full of strength and impact.

A clean, one-shot kill.

With gangsters and criminal gangs lying on the ground, Zhou Yutang, who was wearing a black Armani suit, took out his handkerchief and wiped the blood, looking a bit unreasonable.

"Yes, the effect is in place."

Yuan Baye nodded slightly to express his satisfaction.

After "The King of Kung Fu" failed miserably at the box office, many people now attribute part of the failure to Yuan Heping.

There are rumors that Master Ba is getting old and has been resting on his laurels. The action routines in "The King of Kung Fu" are uninspiring and unsightly.

Yuan Heping also held a breath in his heart.

The foreign director had the final say in that film, and he was the action director who took the blame.

This anger was pent up in my heart, and I couldn't calm down even after taking a break for more than half a year, until I took on Zhou Yutang's "The Lonely Agent".

Yuan Heping had seen the storyboard sketches drawn by Zhou Yutang himself.

Although the action design was flawed, he had not experienced the refreshing feeling of wanton release for a long time.

"This young man has enough talent to support his ambition!"

There are rumors now that this kid is very close to several big guys in the industry. Yuan Heping doesn't pay much attention to capital matters. He only cares about the movie itself.

This movie is this young man's stunning work.

Is this not his chance for Yuan Heping to prove himself?

Lian Po is old, can he still make a living?

Yuan Heping wanted to prove that he was not too old to fight.

Therefore, he is also very serious about doing things.

In particular, he personally watched every action scene of Zhou Yutang, making sure to reflect the beauty of violence.

Not only Yuan Baye, but other members of the crew were also extremely dedicated.

Movie kings such as Liu Qingyun, Simon Yam and Tony Leung Ka-fai have all contributed their peak acting skills.

In comparison, An Zhijie was somewhat inferior.

I've been a little out of shape these days. In order not to delay the filming progress, Zhou Yutang went to talk to him after work and gave him some psychological construction.

As a result, I saw An Zhijie playing the playback of the good sound on the computer, and he was a little surprised and said: "Brother Jie, are you still paying attention to the good sound?"

"I think this program is very good, and it is also very popular in Xiangjiang."

An Zhijie was probably a little embarrassed and scratched his head.

An enthusiastic citizen Liu Qingyun passed by and joked with a smile: "Jie Zai's ex-girlfriend is Li Wen. Of course he likes good voices."

Zhou Yutang nodded suddenly.

The program planners of The Voice released news that around the middle of the program, the four instructors will invite their music partners as supporting guests to guide the students in the PK competition.

The supporting guests are also called dream mentors.

Instant noodle leader Chen Yixun invited Li Wen to help out.

Unexpectedly, this guy is also Li Wen’s ex-boyfriend.

The old photographer Feng Bagua said: "Brother Jie, I am a fan of Sister Wen, how do you know each other?"

"When I graduated from American University, I was planning to return to China to develop my career. Later, Sister Wen happened to be working on a music video, so I signed up and didn't expect to be selected. Later, we got along for a while, and we felt each other, and it came naturally. They got together, maybe it was because I was immature at the time, and I was only thinking about falling in love and forgetting about the development of my career, and then they broke up."

An Zhijie said with a look of nostalgia and regret on his face.

"A man cannot live without a career."

Photographer Lao Feng is also experienced: "Women are very realistic creatures. The gentleness of men when they have accomplished nothing is the most useless thing. If you follow Ah Tang and do things well, you will definitely get ahead."

"I want to thank Ah Tang for giving me this opportunity."

An Zhijie said gratefully.

"Brother Jie, you have such good conditions, you just have to work hard."

Patting An Zhijie on the shoulder, Zhou Yutang chuckled.

In fact, An Zhijie's starting point for entering the entertainment industry was really high.

At that time, Jet Li's "Black Man" was a hit. A few years later, director Xu Ke wanted to make a sequel. Jet Li had already entered Hollywood at that time, so it was naturally impossible for him to take the role, so he chose newcomer actor An Zhijie to star.

But he is also unlucky. The box office of "Dark Man 2" was lost to his grandma's house, causing the producer to lose a lot of money. An Zhijie, a newcomer, was immediately nicknamed "Box Office Poison" when he debuted.

Later, he fell in love and wasted several years without achieving anything.

Until he played A Zu's good brother in "New Police Story".

He is the arrogant second-generation ancestor who said, "Give me an extra 2 million, you can kill my dad." He also had a fight scene with Jackie Chan, and his performance was quite eye-catching.

"I must work hard."

An Zhijie nodded vigorously.

This drama has a luxurious cast and can be said to be a top-notch production.

When An Zhijie learned that Zhou Yutang could choose him, a third-tier star, to play such an important supporting role as Zhong Wu, he really couldn't believe it.

I felt like I was knocked unconscious by a pie in the sky. I was full of gratitude to Zhou Yutang and determined to perform well and repay him for his kindness.

Then.

The kindness of knowing someone was repaid quickly.

An Zhijie followed Zhou Yutang around and was beaten more than nine times in one day.

Because he plays a vicious criminal in the play, who sells human bodies and sells drugs.

He is the kind of bad guy in a pure sense, the kind that makes people grit their teeth and want to kill him.

Zhou Yutang is responsible for realizing the audience's ideas.

Beat him up in the movie.

It was another tiger climbing up the mountain in Baji Quan. An Zhijie's body was like a paper kite with its string cut off, and it was thrown backward.

After landing.

Zhou Yutang quickly stepped forward to help An Zhijie up and asked with concern: "Ajie, can you withstand it? Do you want a substitute?"

"I'm fine, come again!"

An Zhijie dusted himself off and grinned.

Zhou Yutang's strength is really great.

With this sudden burst of strength, his body arched up and flew upside down, then smashed into the glass wall behind him.

The glass in action movies is not real glass, it is sugar glass.

After fixing the shape with sugar and resin, the extremely fragile glass is made. This kind of prop will not hurt people, and the visual effect is outstanding, almost no different from ordinary glass.

Glass is a prop, but if it is thrown by a person and falls to the ground, it will be solid, so it will definitely hurt.

Fortunately, An Zhijie was thick-skinned and professional enough. He didn't complain at all, which saved him countless troubles.

In the past few days, the filming was all about Zhou Yutang beating him violently. He changed many moves and routines, and finally selected the most beautiful scene of the beating.

Finally, after a violent beating, An Zhijie was freed.

Zhou Yutang set up an improvised explosive device, allowing An Zhijie to experience the feeling of dying in despair.

After An Zhijie finished filming, Wu Jing finally joined the team.

Wu Jing had been living in Xiangjiang for several years, and his life was not easy.

For a mainlander who wants to get involved in Hong Kong, it's really not that easy to get ahead.

After all, there is only one Li Lianjie.

Compared with his senior brothers, Wu Jing's journey to stardom was much more difficult.

He had just arrived in Hong Kong to film a movie, and no one brought him a lunch box when the crew was ready for lunch. Hong Kong actors were helped to change costumes, but no one paid him any attention.

After working for a few years, I acted in many movies, but basically all of them were supporting roles, and there were also many walk-on roles. Each one was badly beaten.

Needless to say, there is no need to say much about the attitude of some major local directors in Hong Kong towards mainland artists.

There are also some people in the entertainment industry in Hong Kong who are reluctant to exclude mainland artists.

But Wu Jing managed to survive.

This year I have tried to direct and star in my own movie "Wolf Fang".

He is also a person who knows how to be grateful.

Yuan Baye was his mentor. Wu Jing entered the film and television industry with "The Kung Fu Kid" and "Tai Chi Master" back then. When he arrived on the set this time, he was the first to say hello to Yuan Baye.

The master and apprentice chatted for a while, then they couldn't wait to run over to Zhou Yutang, looked around and said:

"Yu Tang, where is Xie Nan?"

"Sister Nan has finished her work and returned."

"ah!?"

Zhou Yutang felt very funny looking at Wu Jing's expression.

The baby's face originally had a cheerful smile, but after discovering Xie Nan's absence, the smile disappeared instantly and became lost.

"Brother Jing, don't worry when I do things."

Zhou Yutang could understand this brother's thoughts very well, and comforted him: "Sister Nan doesn't have many guest scenes. She still has something waiting for her on the other side of the light. She will go back after filming. When I get back to the capital, I will make an appointment for everyone to have dinner together."

Lost despite being disappointed, Wu Jing is still very professional.

Even though it was a guest appearance, he was still very serious and communicated with Zhou Yutang and the director what he wanted to do.

In fact, shooting action movies is more tiring and boring than shooting youth movies.

In the later stages of filming, basically every day is an action scene, and that’s it.

Those beautiful action scenes that the audience saw in the cinema may have been shot by the actors dozens of times before selecting the most beautiful scene.

Zhou Yutang started his old business in his spare time.

Start writing a script.

"The Lonely Agent" is about the male protagonist whose identity is the secret ace of the Dragon Kingdom's special forces, so there are a lot of things that can be explored about the story that happened when he was still in the army.

The Easter egg set at the end of the film is also related to this.

Zhou Yutang named this special force Canglong, and the script he is writing now is called "Wolf Warriors".

In the fictional world, the Dragon Kingdom is very powerful, with millions of soldiers, and the Wolf Warrior Squadron, like the Canglong Squadron, is a secret force with special characteristics.

In the Wolf Warriors Squadron, there was an outstanding soldier named Leng Feng, who once lost to Zhou Bofu in a competition among the army's special forces.

"The Lonely Agent" is a story belonging to Zhou Bofu, and this "Wolf Warrior" is a story belonging to Leng Feng.

"interesting!"

Wu Jing accidentally saw Zhou Yutang writing this script.

From the first moment he saw it, his eyes never moved away from the screen.

One day in two thousand and six years.

There is a group of secret gangs in the border area of ​​southern Xinjiang who use human bodies to smuggle drugs. The methods are very cruel. The superiors of Long Kingdom sent special forces and anti-narcotics brigade to jointly operate to arrest this criminal gang!

After surrounding the gang.

The drug trafficking leader held a hostage hostage. However, after the superior leader ordered to stop the operation, a sniper with the rank of sergeant named Leng Feng used his own judgment to shoot through the wall with three shots, thus killing the enemy and saving the hostage, but he also disobeyed orders from his superiors to stop the attack.

Leng Feng was punished by the troops.

And what people don't know is.

The drug leader Leng Feng killed was the younger brother of a major overseas drug lord, so Leng Feng was targeted and the drug lord was plotting revenge.

"Write, why don't you continue writing? I want to see how Leng Feng is doing later?"

Wu Jing looked at the line of text typed by Zhou Yutang on the computer screen, and seemed to have a very subtle familiar feeling in his heart, and even the blood in his body was faintly boiling.

"How about down there? Go fight the drug lord!?"

"Brother Jing, I know you are in a hurry, but don't be anxious yet."

Faced with Wu Jing's offline reminder, Zhou Yutang was quite calm. After saving the document, he placed it in a spare inspiration folder:

"I'm out of inspiration for the moment. Write down your ideas first, and then take them out when you need to use them later."

"Damn, you're trying to make me happy!"

"This is how we code."

"Although you haven't finished writing it yet, I think this script is very good."

Wu Jing felt a little regretful, but still said enthusiastically: "Wolf Warrior Squadron sounds really awesome."

"However, I have a question. Why is Leng Feng so awesome and even beaten by Zhou Bofu?"

"You don't understand this. In artistic creation, you usually have to leave some regrets for a hero. Have you read "The Sword of the Third Young Master" written by Gu Long? Yan Shisan is very powerful, right? With the Thirteen Life-Destroying Swords, he lost Giving the sword god Xie Xiaofeng can add a bit of tragedy to this character, allowing the audience to remember him more clearly."

"What you said seems to make sense, so why didn't Leng Feng beat you?"

Because I want to achieve the achievement of beating up a young wolf!

Zhou Yutang's expression twitched, and he changed the subject calmly: "Brother Jing, this is not important. Are you interested in this book? Are you interested in playing Leng Feng?"

"Okay, when are you going to start?"

"Let's wait a few years. The time is not yet mature yet."

……………………

Wu Jing came here on leave from the crew of "Spike".

He didn't stay for a short time, but he gave a lot of pertinent opinions on the fighting scenes of "The Lonely Agent".

Zhou Yutang's role in the film is set as the Dragon King, a special forces soldier who possesses unique skills. He is proficient in various martial arts moves and can hit wherever the gun is pointed.

The most powerful thing is that he also has the unique skill of left-handed sword.

Since it is a unique skill, it is naturally only used against Tony Jia, and those miscellaneous soldiers are not worthy of seeing it at all.

Wu Jing participated in the discussion and design of the dagger’s action moves and routines.

The white-haired killer he played in the movie "Slaying the Wolf" is a dagger master and has rich experience.

The final climax action scene.

Liang Jiahui threw the water glass containing the removed eyeballs over.

Zhou Yutang thought it was Xiaomei's eyeball, and immediately turned red and turned on the unparalleled killing mode.

Unreasonable gun fighting skills eliminated Liang Jiahui's thugs.

Only a Thai boy, Tonija, who was watching coldly with his arms around his shoulders, was left.

He stood in front of Zhou Yutang and covered Liang Jiahui's escape.

"Come."

Tony Jia stretched out his hand and waved towards Zhou Yutang, with an excited smile on his lips.

He is the Thai black boxing champion and was recruited by Liang Jiahui. Although he is also a bad guy, compared to the hopelessly bad brothers Zhong Wen and Zhong Wu, he still has a little bit of humanity in his bones.

Of course, he is more of a brave and aggressive personality.

When he first went to Zhou Yutang's home to search for the missing drugs, he could tell that Zhou Yutang was not simple.

Later, they had a fight and got to know Zhou Yutang's strength even more.

The meaning of this provocative gesture now is very simple - prepare to be beaten to death by me, or come and beat me to death!

Muay Thai is a very lethal fighting skill, including boxing, elbows, knees, kicks and footwork.

Tony Jaa in this movie is a killing machine, but there are not many martial arts scenes in the end.

Yuan Heping designed several key actions.

Jabs, elbow smashes, flying knees, etc.

Mainly to highlight Tony Jaa's ruthlessness and lethality.

An elbow down and the tiles cracked.

Zhou Yutang is a master of Chinese martial arts, with attack speed and explosiveness, and can be both strong and soft.

In the end, of course, the Muay Thai King couldn't beat the Special Forces Dragon King. He was forced to use his unique crescent-shaped short blade in a few moments, and Zhou Yutang also used his unique left-hand knife to send him off cleanly.

Filming this scene was very intense.

Zhou Yutang had several cuts, his arms were covered with Wen Yongshan's love band-aids, and his legs were also seriously bruised.

Tony Jaa also took a few hard blows.

However, both of them were very professional and had no complaints.

This is all normal.

Wu Jing was kicked out in "Slaying the Wolf" and suffered internal injuries and broke more than a dozen sticks.

Jackie Chan jumped from the roof of the building while filming "Plan A". His neck bone was seriously injured and his nose bone was cracked. Later, his spine was displaced while filming "Police Story" and he was sent directly to the intensive care unit for rescue. He almost died. .

During a training session after filming the movie "Shaolin Temple", Jet Li ruptured the medial ligament, two cruciate ligaments and the lateral meniscus of his right leg. The surgery took seven hours and he was hospitalized for more than two months. He received the country's third-level disability certificate.

When shooting an action scene, especially if you want to shoot a good action scene, how can any actor not get injured?

"Xiao Zhou is so awesome!"

When filming this scene, there were two more visitors on the set.

Liu Yifei and Aunt Liu witnessed the exciting fight scene between Zhou Yutang and Tony Jia.

Liu Yifei was very touched when she saw it.

In fact, most of the fight scenes she filmed were about flying around with wires and striking beautiful poses.

And Zhou Yutang seems to really rely on his own strength to fight back and forth with international action superstars like Tony Jaa.

When Aunt Liu saw this, her pupils were shaken, a little unbelievable.
