Rebirth of the Thousand-Faced Movie King

"Ah...this..."

Is this praising me, praising me, or praising me?

Chen Ping was a little confused about what this fan was thinking.

But it doesn't matter if you can't figure it out on the spot.

After the premiere ceremony, a series of comments about Fang Shiyu also poured in.

The first is about Fang Shiyu.

This film is directed by Yuan Kui. Although the story is not complicated, the production is excellent.

Especially the fighting scenes did not disappoint the audience.

Then there is Li Lianjie.

Although Fang Shiyu is not Jet Li's Once Upon a Time series, Jet Li has successfully created a new classic image.

As for Chen Jialuo, played by Cheng Shaoqiu, he is naturally the most handsome chief helmsman.

certainly.

In it, Chen Ping's role as the Admiral of the Nine Gates also made everyone hooked.

At the premiere ceremony, many fans did not dare to shadow Chen Ping.

As for the reason.

Just like what the fan said, he was afraid of being beaten by Chen Ping.

But in the comment area, all the spectators applauded Chen Ping's outstanding performance.

"What a nine-door admiral. I like the villain played by Chen Ping."

"You look at people sideways, you are awesome, and your aura is stronger than Brother Jie."

"Didn't you see that Chen Ping beat Brother Jie half to death in the play?"

"Before the premiere, Brother Jie said that Chen Ping punched him unconscious. Is that true?"

"I don't know if it's true, but Chen Ping's fists as big as sandbags can definitely knock me out."

"Whatever knocks you out will definitely knock the shit out of you."

There are many action actors in Hong Kong.

The most famous ones are Chen Long and Jet Li.

Among them, Li Lianjie played the most beautifully and chicly.

Therefore, Li Lianjie has always been known as the first person in action scenes.

Those who are slightly inferior to Li Lianjie are Zeng Zidan and Lin He.

Many people in the media previously called Zeng Zidan and Lin He the successors of Jet Li.

but……

After looking at Fang Shiyu, the media said: "Chen Ping is the real successor of Jet Li."

and.

Some fans also compared Chen Ping and Lin He with Zeng Zidan.

Needless to say, Lin He was beaten half to death by Chen Ping.

Although Lin He is still more famous than Chen Ping now, he lost to Chen Ping in terms of talent.

As for Zeng Zidan.

Anyone who has seen Sha Po Lang knows this.

The killer played by Chen Ping is so ruthless and powerful that Zeng Zidan is no match for him if he really wants to fight.

In fact, it was also proved in Fang Shiyu.

Although Fang Shiyu is also in a movie, the movie is not a real fight.

But if you don’t have some real skills, even if you want to fake it, you won’t be able to achieve that kind of flavor.

This is no better than a series of special effects in TV series.

Among Fang Shiyu, Chen Ping and Li Lianjie's through-arm fist fight made all the spectators shout with joy.

With this style of play, they believed that Zeng Zidan would never be able to beat him in a real fight.

…

the other side.

While watching Fang Shiyu with a group of fans, director Tsui Hark and martial arts director Chen Xiaodong also walked into the cinema.

One of them is a martial arts director and the other is an action director.

Although Fang Shiyu is not a martial artist, there are still many places worthy of reference.

"Xiaodong, what do you think of Fang Shiyu?"

"The action scenes are indeed exciting, but the storyline is average."

“The storyline of our New Dragon Inn is also average.”

"But our lines are very charming, especially the lines that Chen Ping added with great imagination."

"What do you, an action director, want to do with this? What I'm thinking about is, how should we shoot the action scenes in our New Longmen Inn?"

The competition in Xiangjiang action movies is extremely fierce.

Although Tsui Hark's martial arts is very stylish, it is not without its challenges.

Like Chen Long's funny skills, no matter how funny he is, they worked even harder during filming.

For example, Chen Long often jumps off buildings in movies. How could an ordinary actor do that?

Fang Shiyu, who had previously collaborated with Yuan Kui and Jet Li, put a lot of pressure on Tsui Hark.

If his New Longmen Inn had no ideas, how could it compete with these blockbusters?

"Director Xu, weren't the actions planned before?"

There is something strange about Chen Xiaodong.

He is no different from Tsui Hark. He had already thought out the entire action scene before filming.

He even drew a lot of sub-shots.

However, Tsui Hark still shook his head: "I feel that the previous design was not very good."

If Fang Shiyu is not available, maybe Tsui Hark will adopt it.

But after Fang Shiyu's film, Tsui Hark felt that the previous action scenes were not very interesting.

To know.

Tsui Hark competes with other directors not only in the Hong Kong market, but also in the mainland market.

More importantly, there is the entire Asian market.

Xiangjiang movies have a very large influence in the entire Asian market, especially in Southeast Asia.

Therefore, sometimes the movies made by Jet Li may not have high box office in Hong Kong.

However, if you look at Asia as a whole or the global box office, Zhou Xingchi cannot compare with it.

This is why Jet Li is the actor with the highest ticket sales in Hong Kong besides Chen Long.

"Oh, if there had been no accident..."

Thinking of this, Tsui Hark sighed.

The preparation for the New Longmen Inn was full of twists and turns.

According to Tsui Hark's original idea, the actor Zhou Huaian hired Jet Li.

Even the final makeup photos were released at that time.

But later, due to a series of reasons, Jet Li failed to hold hands with Tsui Hark again.

With no other choice, Tsui Hark had no choice but to invite Liang Jiahua over.

Although Liang Jiahui is also the best actor, his acting skills are not weaker than Jet Li, and even better in some places.

But movies require more than just acting.

First of all, the Liang family is weaker than Jet Li in terms of fame.

The most important thing is that although Liang Jiahui has good acting skills, he is not an action actor.

Even if Chen Xiaodong designed a relatively beautiful set of actions for Liang Jiahui, the actual results would probably not be good.

Only those real action actors can produce good results.

For example, Chen Ping.

Chen Ping and Li Lianjie, among Fang Shiyu, are just two people whose random performances are also amazing.

in addition.

Liang Jiahui may not fully conform to Tsui Hark's martial arts style.

So what he is most satisfied with is Li Lianjie.

But now Li Lianjie is not here.

Among the leading actors, Leung Ka-wai, Maggie Cheung, and Brigitte Lin are not action actors.

In this way, even if New Dragon Inn is finished filming, can it really compete with blockbusters like Fang Shiyu?

"Old Monster Xu, don't be sad. Li Lianjie didn't mean not to come to the New Longmen Inn."

"I know."

"By the way, Chen Ping's action talent seems to be as good as Li Lianjie's."

"But Cao Shaoqin, played by Chen Ping, is the villain after all."

Tsui Hark still shook his head.

But after saying that, Tsui Hark remembered the lines that Chen Ping had read before.

The world's ups and downs are beyond my generation, and the years are rushing me when I encounter the rivers and lakes.

At that time, Tsui Hark thought that Liang Jiahui should speak this line, but in the end it was spoken by Cao Shaoqin, played by Chen Ping, and it was more vivid and vivid.

Since Cao Shaoqin has already portrayed the character so vividly, why not let him go one step further?

"Xiaodong, redesign an action scene for Chen Ping."

"ah?"

Chen Xiaodong didn't understand something.

"I want Cao Shaoqin played by Chen Ping to fight three times."

"Are you standing alone with Maggie Leung, Maggie Cheung, and Brigitte Lin?"

"right."

Tsui Hark nodded: "Not only do I want one against three, I also want Cao Shaoqin, played by Chen Ping, to completely crush the three of them."

"this……"

Chen Xiaodong blinked.

This was beyond his expectation.

After thinking for a while, Chen Xiaodong said: "But Chen Ping is the villain."

"What happened to the villain?"

"Can't the big villain fight one against three?"

"Yes, yes...but..."

"Nothing but, you just need to design the actions for me. I must make the character Cao Shaoqin shine."

"OK……"

Although Chen Xiaodong was a little confused about Tsui Hark's intentions.

But he is just an action director, he is only responsible for action scenes.

Coupled with a director like Tsui Hark, who can say that?

…

"Director Xu, how do you like this action scene?"

"Xiaodong, I have it for you."

"Hey, Old Monster Xu, you don't care who I am. Whatever your requirements are, I will satisfy them all."

"Hahaha... I know that you have always been the best action director in Xiangjiang."

"Don't dare to take it, don't dare to take it."

I have to say that action director Chen Xiaodong, like Tsui Hark, is a genius among geniuses.

Although all the previously designed actions were rejected by Tsui Hark.

But three days later, Chen Xiaodong designed a brand new action scene.

Moreover, this action scene is more eye-catching, more innovative, and more artistic than the previous one.

but.

Although the new action scenes have been greatly improved, shooting is also very difficult.

The difficulty of shooting is not only the difficulty of shooting action scenes, but also the difficulty of the location.

According to Chen Xiaodong's design, the PK between the villain played by Chen Ping and the three leading actors will be set in the desert.

Desert, yellow sand, northwest wind...

This is not available in Hong Kong.

For this reason, in order to achieve the best shooting effect, Tsui Hark took the crew and flew directly to Dunhuang.

…

"Oh My God……"

"It's too hot."

"A lot of sand."

When all the crew members arrived at the filming location, as soon as they got out of the car, yellow sand rolled up from the sky.

Some actors were not prepared, and when the wind blew them, they were immediately filled with sand in their mouths.

"Director Xu, did you bring us here to eat sand?"

Zhang Manyu complained to Tsui Hark.

"Be patient, I'm eating sand too."

Although Tsui Hark was also prepared, when he was blown by the sand, a lot of sand was blown into his mouth.

But looking at the yellow sand in the thousands of miles of desert, Tsui Hark was extremely excited.

This kind of environment is his favorite scene.

He wants to make a Desert Swordsman that no one can forget.

"Chen Ping, how are you?"

"I'm OK."

"I'm not talking about the environment, I'm talking about you having to fight against three when the time comes."

"That's okay with me too."

Facing Tsui Hark's questions, Chen Ping was a little excited.

He didn't expect it either.

Tsui Hark revised the entire action scene at the last minute.

but.

But he is willing ten thousand times.

Such modifications are definitely a plus for his character Cao Shaoqin.

As for the so-called one versus three.

Chen Ping has no problem with the literary and opera aspects.

Not to mention, in the martial arts area.

"Okay, everyone should be mentally prepared."

"This time we had to shoot the scene in the desert for 10 days, and the conditions were very difficult, but I believe that after this scene is finished, our New Dragon Gate Inn will definitely become a classic."

Tsui Hark gave a pep talk to the actors.

Brigitte Lin was very familiar with Tsui Hark and said, "Yes, Director Tsui, all the martial arts films you made are classics."

"Hahaha……"

Everyone laughed at this statement.

At the same time, this laughter also gave everyone a little relief from the harsh hardware conditions in the desert.

Although the conditions are difficult, everyone knows it.

Tsui Hark is no ordinary director.

The films shot by him may not have the highest box office in Hong Kong, but they do well at the box office throughout Asia.

even.

Even if the box office sometimes fails, the reputation of the actors will be improved accordingly.

This is a very strange phenomenon.

The box office is a hit, and the actor's reputation can still rise.

In the history of Hong Kong films, this is probably only the work of director Tsui Hark.

…

"Chen Ping, come on, make a gesture of holding a sword."

In order not to delay the process, but also to allow everyone to finish filming the desert scenes earlier.

The crew quickly started filming after arriving in Dunhuang.

The plot is about Cao Shaoqin, played by Chen Ping, who learned that the three leading actors had escaped, but he rode a fast horse to chase them.

What was shot at this time was a shot of Chen Ping holding a long sword.

Cao Shaoqin, played by Chen Ping, has a very powerful weapon, a 1.6-meter long sword.

Chen Ping has a relatively tall and tall figure, holds a long sword, and has a good foundation in kung fu.

As soon as such a scene comes out, the feeling of a master is already felt.

"Jiahui, Xiaoyu, Qingxia... you are also ready."

This scene was shot of Chen Ping fighting Zhou Huaian alone, Jin Xiangyu, and Qiu Moyan played by Brigitte Lin.

but.

Although it was one versus three, Cao Shaoqin, played by Chen Ping, always had the upper hand.

wrong.

Not only did he have the upper hand, it could be said to be complete abuse.

No matter in terms of martial arts or momentum, Cao Shaoqin played by Chen Ping is one step ahead of the three leading actors.

This is not just plot setting.

More importantly, Chen Ping's martial arts talent at 2 points shows his temperament as a master of martial arts.

Once such a temperament emerges, those actors without action talent will unconsciously become weaker.

"good."

"very good."

"What we need is this kind of momentum."

Tsui Hark, who stared at the monitor, kept cheering.

Although Li Lianjie was not invited, Chen Ping's momentum just now was not much worse than that of Li Lianjie.

even.

Compared with playing a villain, Chen Ping's Cao Shaoqin is even better than Jet Li.

After all, Jet Li hasn't played a villain much yet.

but.

Although Cao Shaoqin played by Chen Ping performed very well.

But after patting and patting, Chen Ping actually ran away.

Yes.

Just go berserk.

How do you describe this rampage?

Originally, Chen Ping was very powerful when he played Cao Shaoqin, and even surpassed the three protagonists at one time.

But with every shot, Cao Shaoqin played by Chen Ping seems to have been buffed.

The whole momentum is like fire and smoke.

Although Chen Ping looks like Chen Ping on the outside, if you look closely, you can see the aura emanating from Chen Ping.

Although this aura is invisible, it can be felt.

This has something like a Super Saiyan burst.

Or the Saint Seiya’s mini-universe breakthrough.

Or maybe he suddenly has a super body effect.

Anyway...

All right.

The real effect is that when Chen Ping was filming this scene, his acting talent broke through to level 7.

Level 7 acting talent is completely incomparable to level 6 acting talent.

Compared with the talent of a level 6 actor, the talent of a level 7 actor is simply magnified.

However, Chen Ping did not notice this.

But he has completely integrated into the plot.

He felt that he was Cao Shaoqin, and Cao Shaoqin was himself.

"I'll go, is Chen Ping crazy?"

"It seems like, I'm a little scared."

Chen Ping stood there alone, and the three leading actors all showed scared faces.

On the one hand, this is how the plot is set up.

On the other hand, for some reason, they were really afraid of Chen Ping.

no way.

The shot was too heavy.

Just now, Chen Ping knocked the Zhang family over with a light palm.

Of course, this is also the reason for pulling in Diaowei Ya.

but.

This is not the most important thing.

The most important thing is.

When Tsui Hark stared at the monitor, he suddenly realized that it seemed like things were not going to end well here.

"Xiaodong, Chen Ping is like this, how can we take pictures later?"

Seeing Chen Ping completely explode, Tsui Hark was surprised and happy.

Fortunately, the Cao Shaoqin played by Chen Ping achieved the effect he had in mind.

It was even more effective than what he thought.

But the surprise is.

How will it end for Cao Shaoqin who is so explosive?

Cao Shaoqin, played by Chen Ping, tortured the three leading actors to death. How to destroy this big boss in the end?

certainly.

Originally, Chen Xiaodong had designed it before.

Chen Xiaodong's design is the three leading actors working together to give Chen Ping the final blow.

But looking at it now, Chen Ping tortured the three leading actors to death.

Even if the three leading actors work together, they may not be able to kill Chen Ping.

But then again.

The plot setting can still be based on the three people working together to kill Chen Ping.

But Chen Ping was so awesome in the previous filming, and he died all of a sudden. Not to mention regrets, the audience felt that it was ridiculous.

This is like when filming Hong Xiguan, Mr. Chen made a majestic BGM appearance, but who knew that he died without a fight.

At that time, this plot was criticized countless times by the audience.

It would be depressing if Cao Shaoqin, played by Chen Ping, died in this way.

As Tsui Hark, who has always thought about seeking innovation and change, how could he let his film become such a piece of shit?

Even if Cao Shaoqin was to die, he would have to die in another way that others could never imagine.

"In this case, Xiaodong, you can devise another way for Cao Shaoqin to die."

"Well……"

Chen Xiaodong vomited blood: "Old Monster Xu, you asked me to design again. How many times have I redesigned it?"

Even Chen Xiaodong, no matter how talented he is, is now having a few more gray hairs caused by Tsui Hark.

"I don't want to either, but look at it, how can it be done without redesigning it?"

"If a villain like Cao Shaoqin is killed like this, the audience will definitely be dissatisfied."

"We have to give the audience a shot that they can't imagine, and even a shot that makes them hooked."

Tsui Hark kept making demands on Chen Xiaodong.

Chen Xiaodong burst into tears.

Tsui Hark's demands are getting higher and higher, and Chen Xiaodong really doesn't know how to satisfy him.

"Xu Caigui, you can design it yourself, I can't think of it."

After thinking about it for a long time, I don’t know whether it’s really that my brain cells have been exhausted or something else.

Chen Xiaodong spread his hands and said, "My mind is blocked right now. I really don't have any good ideas."

"you……"

Tsui Hark was a little anxious, but he also knew that his continuous changes to the plot and script these days had already driven Chen Xiaodong crazy.

Even if you ask him to design it, he may not be able to design an action that is eye-catching.

"Okay, I'll call Chen Ping over and let's talk together. He has some background in kung fu and may have some suggestions."

Seeing that Chen Xiaodong had no choice, Tsui Hark had no choice but to call Chen Ping over.

…

"Chen Ping, how have you been filming these days?"

"Enjoyable."

"Hahaha, you had a great time, but you tortured the three leading actors quite badly."

"Have it?"

Chen Ping didn't pay much attention.

He really enjoyed filming the action scenes these days.

The combination of Tsui Hark and Chen Xiaodong is simply the best combination in Hong Kong.

For the action scenes that have been filmed in the past few days, Chen Ping became more and more excited and excited the more he filmed them.

and.

Chen Ping has also seen the footage he took.

The long yellow sand blew by, and although the villain holding a long sword was extremely evil, he was still very memorable.

This kind of scene completely surpasses all the shots shot by Chen Ping before.

"Don't be too excited. I have something to tell you. The current situation is like this..."

Yifan talked to Chen Ping.

Chen Ping nodded: "Director Xu, you are right."

Cao Shaoqin has now been played by Chen Ping to an extremely crazy state.

This state is not only astonishing in momentum, but also the force value continues to skyrocket.

So the question is, how to get rid of this cheating Cao Shaoqin now.

Of course ordinary destruction will not work.

Even if the three of them work together to kill Chen Ping, it's not that innovative.

However, Tsui Hark had no choice, but Chen Ping in his previous life remembered Cao Shaoqin's classic death method.

After thinking for a while, Chen Ping said: "Director Xu, Director Chen, I have an idea."

"Talk about it."

"It seems that in the play there is a butcher named Diao Buyu at the Longmen Inn. He has good knife skills and is good at making human meat buns."

"Yes, there is this role."

"Is this character dead?"

"died."

Tsui Hark said: "He was shot to death by random arrows from Dongchang."

"What a pity."

Chen Ping said: "It's better to let Diao Buyu compete with Cao Shaoqin at the last moment. He used the skill of a cook to untie an ox, and with a flurry of knives, all the flesh and blood on Cao Shaoqin's calf and right hand were removed, leaving only two white bones."

In his previous life, when Chen Ping was looking at the New Longmen Inn, this scene frightened Chen Ping.

He didn't expect to have such skill.

"I go……"

As soon as Chen Ping came up with this idea, Chen Xiaodong on the side was stunned: "Chen Ping, your imagination is too big."

"not only."

Chen Ping continued: "In the end, Zhou Huaian stabbed Cao Shaoqin with his sword. Cao Shaoqin used his hand to bend the iron sword. But at this time, Zhou Huaian drew another sword from the sword and stabbed Cao Shaoqin in the chest. neck."

Chen Xiaodong was shocked in his heart and said: "Mother-child sword."

"Director Chen is right, it is the Zimu Sword."

"After the mother sword is subdued, the child sword can be drawn out... In this way, even if Cao Shaoqin's martial arts is high, he will not expect Zhou Huai'an's child sword."

A generation of heroes fell asleep in the desert under such an attack.

Such a way of death does not disgrace Cao Shaoqin, the biggest villain in the play.
