Hong Kong Entertainment: The King of Kung Fu

Donnie Yen showed the strength of his whole body, moving like the wind, punching and kicking, knocking down a dragon and tiger martial artist, and striking a very cool pose. He felt so awesome.

Unexpectedly, Yang Ye became furious on the spot and yelled: "Danny, what the hell are you doing?"

Donnie Yen looked confused, "Didn't I fight handsomely?"

Yang Ye scolded: "I gave you the prescribed movements, and you just stepped on the horse and finished it in a few seconds. How can others keep up? How can the camera focus? Do you know that you are in the spotlight?"

Donnie Yen was so scolded by Yang Ye that he had to bow his head and admit his mistake.

Yang Ye said angrily: "Do it again!"

This was a scene in which a group of policemen, played by Donnie Yen, beat up gangsters. As a result, from morning to afternoon, more than a dozen scenes were filmed, but they still did not meet Yang Ye's requirements, and they kept saying "Ka".

At this time, Donnie Yen's physical fitness has declined, and his fighting skills are not as agile as before, and he has become sluggish.

Yang Ye frowned and said, "No more filming, let's start dinner!"

The extras felt like hearing the fairy music and went to get their lunch boxes one after another.

Li Saifeng obediently ran to get three lunch boxes and said, "Master, senior brother, it's time to eat!"

Donnie Yen politely said thank you to Li Saifeng, and waited conspicuously for Yang Ye to move his chopsticks before he started eating.

Then he discovered that his hands were too weak to pick up the chicken legs in the lunch box.

He had no choice but to put down his chopsticks, gnaw on the chicken leg with one hand, and use a spoon to dig out the rice with the other.

Yang Ye ate his meal and said: "Danny, you must maintain your physical strength when filming. This is not like being an athlete. As long as you focus on showing your best condition in a few minutes, you may win the gold medal."

Donnie Yen said with some embarrassment: "This is my first time filming, and I want to show off my performance well, and prove it to everyone."

Yang Ye said: "When shooting an action scene, there may be hundreds of moves in one shot, or even dozens of moves, and these dozens of moves require the actors to meet the requirements of the director and the camera.

There are too many reasons for NG. The director may not think it is good enough, the camera may not capture it, the focus may be wrong, or your opponent may even make a mistake and have to do it all over again.

This process consumes a lot of physical energy, so you must always pay attention to maintaining your physical strength. For example, this scene against the gangsters, did you think it was shot in one take?
The light is different at different times of the day, so we all shoot specific scenes at specific times. We shoot a few moves today, then go shoot other things, and come back two days later to continue shooting. "

Donnie Yen did not dare to bite his tongue and said, "Master, I understand."

Yang Ye nodded and immersed himself in the meal. Suddenly the stage manager came over and whispered to Yang Ye: "Young Master Yang, Brother Long is injured."

Yang Ye was stunned: "Is it serious?"

Injuries are common when filming action scenes. Yang Ye has been injured many times, but the injuries he suffered were all minor and had little impact.

The news that Chen Long was injured reached Yang Ye, so it must be that the injury was serious.

The stage manager said: "Brother Long jumped from the bell tower and seemed to have broken his spine."

"Fuck!"

Yang Ye threw down his lunch box and said, "We won't be filming today, let's call it a day!"

If an action actor breaks his spine, he is basically useless.

However, Yang Ye knew that Chen Long had a great destiny and could not die no matter how injured he was. He was the chosen one, so he was not really worried.

But the gesture still needs to be made, stop work immediately and go to the hospital to visit.

"You two come with me!"

Yang Ye brought Donnie Yen and Li Saifeng to the hospital. Chen Long was undergoing surgery. Hong Jingbao, Yuan Biao and some Longwu martial arts masters were there.

"What's going on now?"

Hong Jingbao said with some self-reproach: "There was a scene where I fell from a bell tower so high that my neck bones were seriously injured and my nose bones were cracked."

Chen Long is filming "Plan A". This scene is really scary. The bell tower is more than ten meters high, and there are only two layers of canvas sheds below to relieve the load.

No one knows how much force a tent can remove when a person falls from it. They can only guess based on experience.

After Chen Long came up with the shooting plan of jumping from the bell tower, Yuan Biao was dumbfounded and asked Chen Long: "Are you sure this is okay?"

This kind of jumping-off-the-floor scene can't sway Wiia.

Chen Long looked confident: "No problem, we can try it first."

The crew first made a sandbag with the same weight as Chen Long and threw it from the top of the bell tower. After passing through the two layers of cloth tents, the sandbag broke instantly when it hit the ground, and sand particles flew all over the ground. Chen Long was dumbfounded. .

However, he still insisted: "One test can't explain anything. Let's try to tighten the tent more."

This time the sandbag was luckier, it fell to the ground intact.

Sandbags are fine, just use real people.

Let Martian jump first. Martian's weight is about the same as Chen Long.

Mars is a dragon and tiger martial artist, so if he is asked to jump, he must jump.

For the salary of the eldest brother, one’s life is sold to him.

Mars jumped, but he didn’t die!
Then it was Chen Long's turn.

Chen Long struggled for a week, standing upstairs for half a day every day, and then making various excuses to escape, such as the light was not good, the sky was not blue, and so on.

If it's too high, people will really die.

As a result, for some reason, the news that Chen Long was going to jump from the bell tower became known to everyone, so many people came to watch the fun.

As soon as Chen Long stood on the roof, even the diners in the restaurant came out, holding a bowl, eating and watching, waiting for Chen Long to jump off the building.

Chen Long said: "I won't dance today!"

"Cut!" The melon-eating crowd dispersed in boredom.

Unexpectedly, Hong Jingbao was angered and yelled: "Are you going to take a picture of me when you are riding a horse?"

"You stand on the roof of this building every day, and a bunch of people below are looking at you. If you don't jump, there is no place for me to park."

Chen Long had been scolded by Hong Jingbao since he was a child. When he saw his boss getting angry, he felt a little embarrassed and said, "Come and help me take the photo!"

Hong Jingbao did his part: "Okay, I'll take the photo."

Hong Jingbao set up the camera and asked Chen Long: "Are you ready? We are all ready and waiting for you."

Chen Long hung on the clock tower hand without making a sound, while Hong Jingbao scolded him again.

Chen Long's blood boiled up and he said: "Shoot!"

Hong Jingbao shouted: "Ready, action!"

Chen Long let go of his hand and fell freely.

The fall was so hard that my neck was almost broken.

After hearing what Hong Jingbao said, Yang Ye said, "You guys are too desperate!"

Hong Jingbao said: "Death-defying? Aaron was not satisfied and did it again."

Zhen Zidan, who had been standing behind Yang Ye, was dumbfounded: "Huh?"

Hong Jingbao glanced at Zhen Zi, ignored him, and said to Yang Ye: "I even called him crazy. But Aaron said that he felt that the previous shot only lasted 4 seconds and the impact was not enough. He hopes this The action can be shown from different angles in a 10-second film."

At this time the doctor came out and everyone quickly gathered around him. The operation went smoothly, but Chen Long had to recover from his injuries.

It didn't take long for Chen Long to be sent back to the ward. Seeing everyone there, he grinned reluctantly and said weakly: "You can't die!"

Yang Ye said: "Recover from the injury first, and the crew will suspend filming."

Chen Long said regretfully: "Scenes like this should be saved for the last scene. In case of death, the movie can still be made."

Yang Ye was dumbfounded, he was such a cruel person. After coming out of the hospital, Yang Ye said to Donnie Yen and Li Saifeng: "See, this is an action actor. He keeps his head in his belt at all times. If you want to become famous in this industry, you must have this kind of consciousness."

For Zhen Zidan, who just entered the industry, Chen Long's accident of jumping off a building taught him a good lesson.

The special thing about the movie "Plan A" is that it created the most important label in Chen Long's film career-extremely dangerous stunts.

In the decades since then, Chen Long's films have continued to bring audiences a relaxing and interesting movie-watching experience, while also giving them high-risk and exciting action scenes that are definitely worth the price of admission.

Many people criticize Chen Long for being a playboy and a scumbag. Damn, if you make a movie like this, you never know when you will die. You are just risking your life to make money. Of course, you have to enjoy yourself in time.

……

Chen Long was injured and the filming of the movie was suspended. He will have nothing to do in the following Christmas and Spring Festival shows.

Hung Kyung-bao's "The Scary Man" topped the Christmas box office with a box office of 10 million.

At this point, excluding the two Western films "First Blood" and "Shanghai Noon", Hong Kong films ranked in the top ten domestic box office in 1982, all of which exceeded 1000 million.

The hot market has attracted more funds to the film industry. Film companies have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and everyone wants to come in and make money.

Yang Ye didn't care about this, he continued to shoot his movie.

"Watch this move carefully, I will only do it once!"

Yang Ye took a running start, grabbed the water pipe above the door with both hands, and like an ape, nimbly broke the glass of the small window open above the door frame and passed through the window.

Two cameras, one in front and one behind, captured this scene.

Of course, the glass was sugared glass that had been replaced in advance. Otherwise, if you did this, you would be scratched by the glass.

This scene was really shocking. The small window opened on the door was only a little higher than a person lying down. Yang Ye actually walked right through it. The staff on the scene covered their mouths in surprise.

Donnie Yen said in admiration: "How did you do this?"

Yang Ye said: "If you practice this Qing Gong skillfully enough, you can accurately grasp the distance. Whether you can jump over it or not can be measured with your eyes."

"That's what I say, but after practicing for so long, I still often make mistakes."

"It is not only necessary to measure the distance, but also to know your own physical fitness well. For example, when jumping between high-rise buildings, if you are not accurate in either of the two, you may fail, and the result of failure is to fall to your death."

……

I filmed a parkour scene with Yang Ye, and then went back to film Donnie Yen's fighting scene.

Now Donnie Yen has figured out the rhythm of making movies and is used to it.

It turns out that movie shooting is divided into many scenes, and what is shot in each scene will be recorded in detail in the scene notes.

When to shoot which scene, the producer and director have plans, and they are not filmed according to the script.

"Danny, watch this move carefully. I'll give you a week to learn it."

Yang Ye said, picked up a pistol and said to the people upstairs: "Throw down the magazine."

As he was told, a magazine was thrown down from upstairs. Yang Ye flew up, caught it with his gun, replaced the magazine in the air, then wiped the heel of his leather shoes, finished loading, and struck a cool pose, bang bang bang. ,shot.

Donnie Yen looked dumbfounded. He changed the magazine in the air and loaded the heel. Is this also possible while riding a horse?
But Li Saifeng's eyes were filled with stars and her little fists were clenched.

"It's so handsome!"

……

After finishing work, Li Saifeng went to the Yang Family Martial Arts Hall to practice as usual.

These disciples of Yang Ye have separate practice rooms and do not practice with others.

After Li Saifeng warmed up, she started boxing. She used the Great Sage Pi Gua Fist.

The Great Sage is Monkey Smash. This boxing method is actually a combination of Monkey Fist and Pi Gua Zhang. It is characterized by its extremely flexibility.

After one punch, Li Saifeng broke out in a sweet sweat.

At this time Yang Ye came in carrying a bag, and Li Saifeng quickly said: "Master!"

Yang Ye said: "Aman, why are you alone?"

Li Saifeng said: "Sister Hong recently took on a movie, and she often stayed late in filming. Brother Danny said he wanted to practice heeling, so he didn't come."

As for the other three people, there is no need for Li Saifeng to talk about it. Zong Yougui has returned to Japan, Binny has been in the United States, and Jet Li has gone to the mainland.

Yang Ye nodded, and Li Saifeng said: "Master, can you teach me how to box?"

Yang Ye was happy: "Otherwise, why would I come here? I'll warm up first."

After Yang Ye finished warming up, he took Li Saifeng to boxing together, then watched her practice and corrected her movements from time to time.

When practicing kung fu, there is inevitably physical contact. Li Saifeng felt the strong hormonal aura emanating from Yang Ye's body, her heart was racing like a deer, and her movements always made mistakes.

As soon as he made a mistake, Yang Ye would correct him. As soon as he corrected him, there would be physical contact. As soon as there was physical contact, Li Saifeng would feel like a deer bumping into each other... and the cycle continued.

Yang Ye frowned and said, "Let's stop practicing now and take a rest!"

Yang Ye sat on the ground, and Li Saifeng brought a towel over to wipe his sweat with some anxiety.

Yang Ye took it, wiped it casually, and looked at Li Saifeng strangely: "Why are you so timid? Are you afraid that I will scold you?"

Li Saifeng smiled and his eyes turned into crescent moons: "Master, you are reluctant to scold me."

Yang Ye chuckled and said, "That's not necessarily the case. If you don't practice seriously, I'll even spank you."

"Uh... I'm sorry, that made sense." Yang Ye was shocked to realize that what he just said was inappropriate and quickly apologized.

Li Saifeng's face turned red and she thought to herself that she was so embarrassed to be spanked by her master.

She changed the subject and said: "Master, I heard that you are very good at Wing Chun. Why don't you teach me Wing Chun instead of the Great Sage Pi Guaquan?"

Yang Ye asked: "Who said my Wing Chun is great?"

"Many people have said that. They also said that your mother's surname is Ye and that you are an authentic Wing Chun practitioner."

"What a mess, then my surname is Yang, and I still practice the authentic Yang Style Tai Chi! Don't listen to people's lies, in fact, I practice Hong Quan and Tan Kou."

"Oh!"

Yang Ye thought for a while and said: "Wing Chun is indeed suitable for girls to practice, but the purpose of your martial arts training is not to fight with people, but to make movies.

When it comes to making movies, the Kung Fu of the Northern School is better than the Kung Fu of the Southern School, because the Kung Fu of the Northern School has bigger moves and looks better when fought.

This style of the Great Sage's Pi Gua Fist is light and versatile, and looks great in action, so I specially selected it to teach you. "

Li Saifeng suddenly realized: "So that's it. Master, are you good at all kinds of kung fu?"

Yang Ye shook his head and said: "No, in Kung Fu, as long as you master the method of exerting force, the various routines are actually the same. Once you are familiar with them, you will be almost indistinguishable in fighting.

Your senior brothers and sisters have their own specialties. For example, Li Lianjie practices Fanzi Quan, Donnie Yen and Hui Yinghong practice Tai Chi, and their kung fu is not used for fighting.

As for you, although you have never learned kung fu before, you have practiced dancing since you were a child, and your body is very flexible. You can do horizontal crosses, vertical crosses, upward kicks, and reverse kicks to purple gold crowns.

Once you master these, it will be easy to master martial arts routines, and your postures will be more graceful than those who specialize in kung fu. This is an innate advantage.

In addition, you are very beautiful and have a lovable appearance. The combination of the two makes you very qualified to become a great swordsman. Come on! "

When Li Saifeng heard Yang Ye praising her beauty, she felt secretly happy and said quickly: "Master, I will definitely work hard!"

Yang Ye scratched her hair lovingly and said, "Let's go, I'll take you home!"

……

Author's Note: It is generally believed that Hui Yinghong's kung fu is the Hong Quan she learned from Liu Jialiang. But its benefit is that Yinghong has been learning kung fu since she was a child, and her master is Donnie Yen's mother, Mai Baochan. (End of chapter)
