9. Action movies that have never been brilliant
"Of course I asked, but what if I asked? Some of the actions they designed did not meet the conditions of the actors at all, and many of the actions were difficult for the actors and could not be completed." Cheng Guochao said helplessly.
Xu Shi said: "Don't you have a substitute? Wouldn't you just let the substitute be?"
Cheng Guochao said: "Brother, can you solve the problem with the substitute? Yes, we can indeed use the substitute, but the substitute is not omnipotent. It is impossible to use the substitute in many scenarios, and the requirements for the substitute are also very high. Is it good? If the audience can see something is wrong at first glance, then we might as well stop using it."
Xu Shi nodded. He didn't understand very much, but it didn't matter. Anyway, he was just curious.
When the sun above my head was not so hot, the crew started work again.
The first scene in the afternoon was a martial arts scene, which was left over in the morning. It gave the actors some time to think about it, and now they are about to start filming again.
This scene was in the restaurant, and the four-person group was having a meal in the restaurant. When Jiang Yue saw that the waiter was busy, he went to the shopkeeper to get the wine.
At this moment, a table of guests finished their meal and were about to leave. The route they left happened to pass by Shen Tianqi.
When the guests passed by Shen Tianqi, they instantly took out weapons from their arms and killed Shen Tianqi and the other two. One of them took out a dagger and stabbed Shen Tianqi behind them.
The next moment, Shen Tianqi suddenly turned around and grabbed the killer's wrist with his right hand.
"Click!"
At this time when he was extremely nervous, director Cheng Guochao shouted. In fact, all the actors had stopped before he shouted. There was no way, Shen Tianqi grabbed the dagger directly.
Fortunately, these daggers are specially made and have no lethality. If they are real, Shen Tianqi's hand will probably be done.
And not only that, Shen Tianqi used too much force when he turned around, and his whole body was unstable, and the tables and chairs were shaking.
Cheng Guochao seemed to have been prepared, and did not yell in anger, but shouted at the action guide: "Lin Li, you go and demonstrate again."
As he shouted, a middle-aged man who looked nearly forty years old walked over and the staff had already restored everything to its original state.
Lin Li sat in Zhao Kai's position and signaled the assassin to take action.
Lin Li's demonstration was very successful. From turning around, to grabbing, to pedaling to pedaling on the bench, raising his body and kicking it out, these movements are flowing, and it looks quite pleasing to the eye.
If Lin Li hadn't looked very good and was older, she would have been absolutely handsome with just such a set of actions.
Lin Li kept talking about tips during the demonstration, such as where to exert force, what to exert force, and at the same time, he also indicated how to do the best action when grasping the wrist.
In fact, Lin Li has said these things more than once, but Zhao Kai seems to be unable to listen.
"I know what you said, but I can't do it. What you said is lightweight. That's because you have been practicing these since you were a child, but I'm not. Otherwise, you can redesign an action for me and be simple and effective." Zhao Kai said impatiently.
He has filmed this scene seven or eight times, and each time it fails due to various minor problems.
In his opinion, these problems are not his own problems at all, but the movements designed by Lin Li are problematic. Those movements seem simple, but if you don’t pay attention, you will have problems.
Lin Li was also a little helpless about this. He had already followed the simplest one, but Zhao Kai still couldn't do it.
It is both handsome and simple, so how can such a good thing be?
Cheng Guochao over there also said, "Lin Li, why don't you follow what Zhao Kai said just now? Just be simple."
Xu Shi watched from the side, and he understood in his heart why Cheng Guochao said it was difficult to take a picture.
In Xu Shi's opinion, the most important problem is that action guidance has no say at all. Even if the action is designed, it still depends on the actors whether to shoot or not.
It can be seen that director Cheng Guochao does not attach too much importance to action scenes, and basically he has an attitude of just being fine.
Xu Shi was also a little confused. Logically speaking, a director is always striving for excellence in the movies he shot, and he requires the best in any aspect. Moreover, from Cheng Guochao's attitude towards shooting at the beginning, it is indeed the case. Why did the standards relax when it comes to action scenes?
Xu Shi has been practicing martial arts for most of the years, but he has learned a lot about the practical things now. Although he doesn’t watch many movies and TV, he is not much less. There are also many classic movies and TVs in this world, which are not inferior to those of the classics in his previous lives.
Xu Shi began to carefully recall the movies and TV shows he had watched before. It seemed that there were indeed few action movies, and the movies and TV martial arts scenes he saw in this world seemed a bit awkward to him.
Originally, he thought it was because of his martial arts practice in this life, and his martial arts skills were indeed very high.
But now it seems that this is not the case, but the director and actors have no confidence in martial arts scenes.
Xu Shi took out his mobile phone and searched it online, and found that the action scenes in this world seemed to have never been brilliant.
Xu Shi had a group of martial arts stars such as Chen Long, Li Lianjie, Hong Jinbao, etc., which pushed the action film to a peak. Although as these people grow old, they can no longer fight, and there are too few new generations of martial arts actors, the action films have entered a trough, but the glory of the action films has brought a lot of excellent action guidance to the film and television industry in his previous life.
Especially Chen Long's Hollywood Lifetime Achievement Award has completely made a famous martial arts film abroad.
Moreover, because of the glory of the action film, the director and actors will not give up on martial arts scenes. Many Hollywood classic action blockbusters are designed by China's action guide. Although they are a bit awkward in the later stages, they are much better than this world.
Without Chen Long in this world, the action film has never been brilliant. It only showed some of its talents in a very short period, but it soon disappeared.
Due to these reasons, the directors of China now have no idea about action movies and do not have high requirements for martial arts scenes. After all, the special effects are much stronger than before. As long as you make some moves, you can give them all to the special effects later.
