Full-time actor

Chapter 157 [156] A reborn person, can he also cheat in martial arts scenes?

"Yuzai, have you ever filmed a fight scene before?"

Yuan Bin asked Chen Yu.

"Taken!"

Of course Chen Yu had filmed it, but it was in a previous life.

Yuan Bin nodded: "Okay, I won't talk to you after the filming. You should know the style of each martial arts finger. Our martial arts fingers in Xiangjiang like to draw pictures first and then explain them!"

"You understand, right?"

"heard about it!"

Chen Yu scratched his head.

Many martial arts directors, and even some Xiangjiang directors, like to draw pictures when shooting martial arts scenes, just like the storyboards of comics, drawing the scenes of the fights; the most famous one is of course the old monster Xu Krypton!

He likes drawing the most, and even for the filming of a movie, he can draw the entire script, not just the martial arts.

Old Monster Xu's awesomeness is not just a boast, he does have some arrogant strength.

The eighth master Yuan Heping, who is known as the best martial artist in the world, also teaches martial arts through drawing. He will draw countless sets of martial arts movements on paper.

I have a concept in my mind, and when the actors see it, they will understand it.

Many mainland martial arts masters learned from him.

Won Bin, of course not.

He and Yuan Heping are brothers. Although Yuan Heping's father Yuan Xiaotian is also one of the earliest martial arts masters in Xiangjiang, his level is definitely not as good as that of Yu Zhanyuan, the master who taught Cheng Long, Hong Jingbao, and Yuan Bin the Seven Little Fortunes. of!

This old man himself has very average achievements in the film industry, but dozens of apprentices he trained are still the mainstays or even the best in Hong Kong films.

Needless to say, Cheng Long, Hong Jingbao, etc.

Yu Zhanyuan was born as a martial arts student in domestic Peking Opera. He is proficient in singing, chanting, sitting, fighting, and acrobatics.

He taught the Seven Little Fortunes, and Yuan Heping became his apprentice later, with the stage name "Yuan Qing", thanks to his father Yuan Xiaotian's relationship.

Yuan Xiaotian is the white-haired and bearded old man in Cheng Longcheng's famous works "Drunken Master" and "Snake Shape".

At first, he acted in these two works as a joke, but unexpectedly he became famous. His image of Su Qier became the target of imitation in kung fu comedies.

Cheng Long is also one of the imitators.

In the end, his son, relying on his connections, became a disciple of Yu Zhanyuan, and then created the first team of Chinese martial arts film martial arts - Yuan Jiaban, which is more famous in the industry than Hong Jingbao's Hong Jiaban and Cheng Long's The family class is even better.

Zhen Zizi was originally from the Yuan family, and Yuan Xiaotian's seven children are all martial artists and actors. Yuan Heping is not the most famous one. His twin brother Yuan Xiangren, in the movie Star Master, sells Tathagata gods at a street stall. The one in charge.

When Yuan Heping didn't form a martial arts team, he kept hanging out with the Seven Little Fortunes. Over time, they created the Chinese martial arts film market, and also developed a habit of relying on sketches and storyboards to guide martial arts.

So not only Yuan Heping likes this, Yuan Bin, one of the Seven Little Blessings, is also good at it.

And what makes Yuan Bin better than Yuan Heping is that Yuan Heping painted it himself, while Yuan Bin hired a painter.

He has several "royal" painters who will draw sketches for him, so it looks better than Yuan Heping.

"Come on, let's take a look at this storyboard first!"

Yuan Bin handed the fighting sketch drawn by someone to Chen Yu, and Hu Jun and others joined in.

They were just too curious.

I have never made a martial arts movie!

Do you want to see the picture first?

"Do you understand? If you don't understand, ask me and I will explain it to you!"

Yuan Bin looked at Chen Yu's sketches and said, "You have made me master each picture, and when connected together, it becomes a complete set of movements!"

"Fuck, so thin?"

After Chen Yu received Yuan Bin's storyboard sketch, he was really stunned.

He was definitely not qualified to cooperate with such a big shot in his previous life, but Yuan Bin's sketch and his annotations beside it made Chen Yu feel enlightened.

The reason why the Eighth Master is the Eighth Master and the number one martial artist in Tianyi is definitely not based on his reputation.

As his senior brother Yuan Bin, of course his level is not bad; otherwise, why would Sanjin, the best action guide, be the disciple and grandson of Yu Zhanyuan, and Zhen Zhuan can also be considered in his lineage.

Generally, martial arts designs involve two people fighting, with one person taking the initiative to attack and the other taking the beating passively.

In order to show that the attacker is venting his grudges, the person being beaten will either open the door wide or block it abruptly.

Because the designer only considers the beauty of martial arts postures and takes stretching the limbs as the first priority, sacrificing the rationality of the character's moves, this leads to incoherence between fists and feet, so that this type of design is often called "fake" by the audience. "Flower shelf".

It just looks unreal.

This is actually quite good. Many fairy tales and martial arts dramas in later generations are so shabby that the slow motion scenes... make the audience feel extremely pained.

There are not many martial arts moves, and the slow motion lasts for more than ten seconds.

Of course, this is partly because of the inability to perform well as a martial artist, but the most important reason is actually that the actors are not good enough.

He has no martial arts skills, so he can only fight like this, which is the limit.

No matter what, he ranks first in being cool.

but!

But the sketches in Chen Yu's hands, the designs of fights, punches and kicks are all very coherent.

One person moves to attack, the other moves to defend, and the defense waits for an opportunity to turn into an attack and then fight back.

"Transformation between offense and defense" is definitely the most exciting and difficult thing to shoot in martial arts films. It makes the martial arts drama full of dangers and suspense.

Yuan Bin can not only clearly capture the transformation of offense and defense, but can also combine accurate scene changes to reflect the psychological emotions of the characters. This gives the audience a very strong sense of involvement and excitement.

Chen Yu only watched it once, but he already had a very familiar picture in his mind.

This feeling was like watching a movie, replaying and replaying in his mind.

The key point, coupled with the "Dragon Movie" he had watched in his previous life, those actions were like a stop-motion movie, and frame by frame seemed to turn into color pictures in front of his eyes.

What does that mean?

For example, Duan Yu was fighting with others, and his six meridians were knocked out. This scene was fixed in Chen Yu's mind.

Then he made the next move and stayed still.

Chen Yu knew these action routines very well.     “Holy shit, this is also possible?”

To be honest, Chen Yu was really shocked.

He was not shocked by Won Bin's storyboard sketch, but by the decomposition of the actions in his mind.

This is simply scarier than filming a drama!

Chen Yu in literary operas has a sense of pictures in his mind. He knows how to act, how to express emotions, micro-expressions and movements, etc. But as for martial arts operas, he knows the final fighting effect of martial arts operas, which is the video of the fighting process. He presented it very clearly.

But unfortunately, the fight was too fast!

You don't know the shooting process at all.

But now, with Yuan Bin's storyboard sketch in hand, it's like seeing a martial arts secret book.

It was enlightening.

Just like Wu Yazi, it seems that the internal strength that has been instilled in Chen Yu for decades has been instilled in him.

Hey, Chen Yu decomposed the fighting video in his mind... all at once.

Chen Yu knew everything about how to perform this move and how the two people used this move to attack and defend.

This is where Chen Yu was extremely shocked.

This is amazing, okay?

10 days of filming a martial arts scene?

Chen Yu felt that as long as his opponent cooperated well, he could finish them all in one day!

Because he understood all the moves in several fighting scenes.

It's just so scary.

"What's wrong?"

Yuan Bin probably noticed Chen Yu's dullness and couldn't help but ask.

"Brother Bin!"

Chen Yu looked at Yuan Bin. In fact, he was very reluctant to say such hurtful words, but he still said: "I've finished reading this storyboard!"

"Oh, then just practice shot by shot!"

"I'm going to test you later, so you have to practice for me, do you understand?"

Yuan Bin said solemnly, Chen Yu looked at a stack of nearly ten pages of sketches with 20 action breakdowns on each page, and said with some helplessness: "I have already mastered this first page!"

"Yes?"

Yuan Bin seemed not to understand what Chen Yu meant: "What happened?"

Hu Jun behind Chen Yu was also stunned. He didn't understand the movements on this sketch at all. He seemed to be able to form postures, but if he wanted to fight, would he have to connect them?

But how come...

"On this first page, I can do all 20 actions!"

"Then practice. Once you've mastered it, show it to me!"

Yuan Bin obviously didn't understand at the same level as Chen Yu, but Chen Yu smiled and said a little embarrassedly: "Brother Bin, what I mean is that I should be able to do this set of moves on this page!"

"is it?"

Yuan Bin wasn't angry at all, he laughed.

He didn't think that Chen Yu was a little arrogant, but said: "Yu Zai, can you tell me what movies you have filmed before? Or tell me the name of the martial arts director. I basically know all the martial arts directors in the industry. !”

"..."

Chen Yu obviously had nothing to say, so he could only say: "It's not famous, it's just a fight in an anti-Japanese drama!"

Anti-Japanese dramas, of course, also have fighting scenes.

But, there is no routine or process at all, just a few tricks, and there is no need to break it down in your mind!

After all, "Dragon" is also a major domestic production. Many of the fights in it were designed by Yuan Bin to be very complex, and of course they needed to be dismantled one by one.

"hehe!"

Chen Yu could see the dull expression on Yuan Bin's face after he said the words "anti-Japanese drama", and then he shook his head and smiled.

Hu Jun and the others couldn't stop laughing.

Anti-Japanese drama?

Are you kidding me?

Obviously, they didn't associate this kind of movie with the imaginary martial arts movie.

Sure enough, Yuan Bin took a deep look at Chen Yu and shook his head a little: "Yu Zai, that's not a martial arts scene, it's a juggling act. Real martial arts is where you come and I go. It's not an instant kill. The battle is solved with one move!"

"What is Wu?"

"It's to stop fighting, to stop disputes, not to kill people!"

Yuan Bin saw that Chen Yu was young and knew that the other party had been trained before. He said with rare patience: "Kung Fu scenes involving killing people can be considered excellent at best; while martial arts competitions are for the purpose of comparing skills, that is the essence of martial arts scenes! "

"Brother Bin, I have learned a lesson!"

Chen Yu looked stern and surprisingly had no rebuttal.

The man in front of me, a man who would be hired by Hollywood to make commercial martial arts films, is indeed in a different realm from ordinary martial arts masters.

Ordinary martial arts guidance or action design, they are more just to make the fight more beautiful.

People like Yuan Bin have their own understanding and martial arts artistic conception.

"Come on, you said you could fight, let me see!"

"Just do this first move!"

Won Bin pointed at the first action on the first page of the storyboard and said there.
