Coquettish Rebirth

After stopping Bell's fitness plan, Jia Hongjian and Nolan took Bell to fly to China.Why did you take Bell to China?It's very simple, because Bell really didn't know how to fight before, so in order for Bell to be able to fight well in the play, Jia Hongjian really needed to bring Bell to China, find him a teacher, and teach him well. Practice for a month or two.In history, when Nolan filmed "Batman", he really didn't find any martial arts instructors. Basically, Nolan thought of it by patting his head.Such a fighting style has been complained by many movie fans. When Jia Hongjian first discussed with Nolan about making Batman, Nolan actually suggested not to seek a martial arts instructor!

Why doesn't Nolan want to look for it?The reason is also very simple. He wanted to shoot in a realistic style. Since Batman can be beaten up and his nose is bruised, how can he fight with all kinds of beautiful roundabout kicks like in cartoons?In Nolan's view, since such a film is a relatively realistic film, it is obvious that the fighting must be more realistic!In his opinion, how can this real fight be so beautiful and freehand?So looking for a martial arts instructor to make it fancy, on the contrary, makes the fighting action different from the style of the main movie.

But it was too easy for Jia Hongjian to convince Nolan - who said that you can't change the style of martial arts after hiring a martial arts instructor?It's so easy!What do martial arts instructors eat?To be honest, in previous Hong Kong films, maybe the martial arts director just made up some beautiful martial arts moves, but after entering the 90s.Matching the martial arts action with the plot style is simply a must for everyone!Take Cheng Long as an example, Cheng Long has been a martial arts instructor since he was very young, and when he started filming and could have his own style, why did he design humorous martial arts?Why doesn't he want to be like Bruce Lee?Because others are the same as Bruce Lee, others are the kind who won't hurt or bleed when they hit others, and Cheng Long wants to play a more realistic little character, who will feel pain when he hits others, so he wants to act there It's a feeling that ordinary people are desperate. If you want to act out, ordinary people just rely on courage to fight against the bad guys!

In fact, isn't Cheng Long's theme very similar to Nolan's?The funny parts in Cheng Long's fight were removed.Add a bit more iron-blooded content.Isn't this what Nolan wants?The protagonist is not a hero, but an ordinary person, who will have his legs broken and his nose broken.But he has a fearless spirit.He has long been willing to dedicate his entire life to such a city that his family loves.In such an environment.Such a Batman has to punch to the flesh again, which makes the audience amazed and real at the same time.This is not contradictory!

According to Jia Hongjian, for example, in "Fuse" played by Zhen Zidan in 08 or 07, the fighting is relatively real and more foreign. And when you put it together, you can't see the countless shadows of traditional routines, basically the same as modern unlimited fighting. Isn't this style worthy of the style of "Batman"?In the past, when there were no Chinese martial arts instructors coming to Hollywood, what kind of stuff were there fighting in Hollywood!For example, the fighting in "First Blood" makes people want to laugh!The fight was too stupid and too stupid!And since Nolan's "Batman" assumes that Master Bruce Wayne has been missing for 7 years, and he also specially learned martial arts, does it have to be a bit airy when fighting?Otherwise, these 7 years are not in vain?I have spent several years learning martial arts... Not to mention learning martial arts, even if I am learning boxing, the fighting posture should be a little different?Besides, the reason why this Batman looks like a bat, isn't it always claimed that he wants to create a dramatic effect to scare the bad guys?A Batman who is extremely capable of fighting and invulnerable, even holding a gun can't hurt him, and then he can only watch such a guy charge up and beat him, how scary is that?

Of course, Nolan originally accepted Jia Hongjian's words 100%, but now that Nolan has finished filming "Infernal Affairs", he proposed another condition to Jia Hongjian on the plane—— "Mr. Jia, haven't we talked about the martial arts style before? At that time, I promised you to come to China to find a suitable martial arts instructor, but now I think the martial arts style I want...a kind of cold, very real Yes, it's like martial arts in a documentary filming. You can punch to the flesh, but you can't be too chic, you can't be handsome... You have to fight so hard that it hurts, and the audience is a little scared!"

"Huh? It's not impossible, but why do you want such a style?" Jia Hongjian asked puzzled. He heard what Nolan meant, the kind that would get bloody at every turn?Is it the one with a big nose that will immediately cause nosebleeds?And the fight is even more handsome... What does this mean?Then I heard Nolan say: "Didn't you ask me to shoot "Infernal Affairs" to practice? The more I think about the cold style shot in Infernal Affairs, the more I think it is suitable for Batman. "Batman" is such a person The series of movies should be such a kind of watching the hero get hurt a little bit, a little bit injured and disabled for others... Our camera style should be cold, show these things to the audience coldly, exaggerate this This kind of emotion moved the audience, and felt that the hero was paying for them, and then paid so much that the audience might not be able to help but want to persuade Batman to retire and leave them alone...so even if the fighting style can be Coherence can be systematic, but it also needs to be fierce and close to real fighting, and the fighting style should be unified with the shooting style..."

How else could Jia Hongjian love to cooperate with Nolan more and more now?Look at the speed of Nolan's growth!In just a few years, Nolan has changed from a director who was not confident talking to the leading actors every morning when he was filming "Tang Monk", to a director who dares to impose restrictions on Jia Hongjian now!From this point of view, it is a good thing to have your own ideas and styles!And Jia Hongjian also wanted to see how Nolan's style would look like!He has long been annoyed, whether it is a superhero or a civilian hero in a movie, all kinds of non-injured and non-bleeding, even if injured and bleeding, he is still cool and handsome, this is too much!It's time for us to fight back!

But resistance is resistance, who should choose such a martial arts finger?Logically speaking, Cheng Long is the best choice, but what is Cheng Long's worth?Even if it is a friendly price, it is estimated to be at the level of 600 million US dollars?This is worthy of a leading actor's worth!So choose Hong Jinbao and the others?According to the theory, Hong Jinbao and Cheng Long are brothers, and their martial arts styles are relatively similar. Hong Jinbao learned Cheng Long's style, and then improved it a little, and changed it into the style Jia Hongjian and the others needed. should work?

However, Jia Hongjian still misses Zhen Zidan's "Fuse", so in one film, Zhen Zidan's fighting is really good-looking, and there is a feeling of combining traditional "martial arts" and modern western fighting, which gives people the feeling How real and beautiful!And the most important thing is that, if Jia Hongjian remembers correctly, after almost 99, Zhen Zidan had fewer opportunities to act in movies. With the decline of Hong Kong movies, he did not make so many movies, so in fact Since then, he has basically started to transform into a martial arts instructor. In 2000 and 2001, he went abroad to become a martial arts instructor.If this is the case, can you ask Zhen Zidan to be a martial artist?However, Zhen Zidan has only started as a martial artist in the past two years after all, so he doesn't know if he has enough experience. In addition, he doesn't seem to have his own team, unlike Cheng Jiaban and Hong Jiaban who have their own group of substitutes.Cheng Jiaban and Hong Jiaban have stand-ins and get along day and night, so these people can play pretty well. If Zhen Zidan doesn't have a team, can foreign actors play wonderfully just by guiding foreigners?

So it's a little bit confusing.But Jia Hongjian is not a person who struggles, he will not say that because the choice is a bit difficult, he can't choose a result all at once.It doesn't matter if we announce a result, we can invite bids!Just follow the bidding rules in the commercial field. For example, if we bid for a price of 1000 million Hong Kong dollars, no matter whether it is Cheng Jiaban, Hong Jiaban or Zhen Zidan, they will be notified, and let them come up with some fighting action routines that meet our requirements. Come out and see, isn't it all right?In the end, if Nolan thinks whoever's stuff is suitable, then we will sign a contract with whoever, isn't this the end of it?

Although it seems a bit disrespectful to talk about their status in the rivers and lakes, it seems a bit dishonest to let their counterparts in Hong Kong start to compete, but Jia Hongjian and the others are an American company, a Hollywood company, and their rank is higher than that of Hong Kong. !We bring foreigners here, so we don't have to abide by any "rules of the rivers and lakes"?Thinking of this, after Jia Hongjian and the others landed, they started to do this.First of all, he discussed with Nolan first, and brought the old Mouzi who was working on the side, and then discussed together a rough demand scene-a fight between several people, a protagonist fighting with some people, probably more For a long fight, what are the specific style requirements?After writing all these things into text, let Lao Mouzi run errands to contact the brokers in Hong Kong, and then invite those people to come to Shanghai, and then hold an explanation meeting to explain them in detail. Got it?How simple and easy?Don't worry about it at all! (To be continued..)
