Coquettish Rebirth

"It's a bit more complicated... How about designing it so that Batman can't fly, and the cloak can't be used, and he needs to fight all the way up from the downstairs? In this way, various one-to-many fights can be added during the fighting process. In this way, the fighting styles will be more diversified and more attractive, what do you think?" Cheng Long asked. ...Acme novels, Jia Hongjian thought about it, and felt that it made sense.Indeed, the Batman he originally wanted to show in the third episode of the story is a role that tends to be a tragic hero, and it is a role of a tragic hero full of various "hero twilight" feelings on the screen.In such a situation, just letting Batman fight the boss seems a little under-prepared and a little under-rendered.If Batman were to fight with a group of minions first, it would be able to exaggerate the tragic feeling of a group of wolves killing a tiger?

That's right!Jia Hongjian knew that Cheng Long was good at this kind of one-to-many fights, and he was able to render this kind of one-to-many fights very realistically, letting the enemies around the protagonist take turns punching or kicking, that was really the overall achievement. The effect of a storm-like attack, it really feels like the situation of ordinary people when they are besieged, instead of the protagonist in the traditional movie beating who always fights with one person, and the people behind are all Looking around and stuff like that.So relatively speaking, Cheng Long's form of fighting more with less is quite real and feels like a hero who is defeated by four hands with two fists!Of course, although Cheng Long was able to handle a group of people by himself in the end, it has to be said that such an effect of being bullied by dogs is absolutely possible!Because to be honest, the audience definitely thinks that if the protagonist fights with these little guys alone, any little guy is no match for the protagonist, but who let them go together?When the protagonist is in a hurry, he has to be beaten to avoid all kinds of pain. This is definitely a loser, but it is because of the loser.On the contrary, it is very distressing!

After Jia Hongjian nodded and accepted Cheng Long's suggestion, Cheng Long took Jia Hongjian to talk with the mayor.Originally, Jia Hongjian himself and the name of a movie like "Batman" were enough to excite the mayor of this small city of 30 people, but now a world-renowned star Cheng Long came suddenly, the mayor of course what? All agreed!After explaining his purpose for only 1 minute, the mayor agreed to rent out the entire city hall.But they have to give them a few days, after all, they are still working now, and it is impossible to move out immediately.Cheng Long and Jia Hongjian immediately laughed at this—"Mayor, you are mistaken. When we said we would borrow the entire city hall, we didn't mean to drive you away and empty the city hall for us to shoot. Specifically We can shoot the indoor scenes in an old office building that is out of reach. We just come in to have a look at the general structure of the building and take a few photos. Then it is enough to borrow some corridors or stairs. In addition, the outer walls and glass may also be used. If you want to borrow it for us, that’s enough, we’ll film the content later on in other places, and edit it together later, so the audience won’t see any problems..."

That's right, Jia Hongjian and the others are filmmakers. Who said that the indoor and outdoor scenes must be the same when making a movie?Who said that the audience felt that it was filmed inside the city hall.They must really be filming in the city hall?This is completely inconsistent with the logic of filming!According to the art of light, shadow and editing in movies, it doesn't matter where it is shot.Through appropriate editing, we can make the audience think that we are shooting inside the city hall. We only need to make some corners and outer walls and other places to cooperate with the editing.For example, kicking a person in front of a floor-to-ceiling glass window indoors, and kicking the person out of the glass window. In fact, such a scene was shot on the second floor of an abandoned office building, and there was a thick air cushion on the ground outside the window.After shooting the indoor shot of kicking someone out of the house, let's take a shot of a person flying out from outside the wall.Edited together, the audience must think that there is logic before and after, and everyone must think that indoors and outdoors are the same place!But it's really not a place!

Therefore, under such circumstances, Jia Hongjian and the others did not need to clear the interior of the city hall at all, and could even complete the required shooting without basically affecting the work of the office staff.Go back and do supplementary indoor shots somewhere else, and you're done!When the mayor heard that it was possible to do this, he suddenly realized that he really thought that when making a movie, he had to shoot both inside and outside the same place.Since there is no need to empty the interior, it will be much more convenient. First, ask the theater manager to take pictures of all the rooms and halls in the entire city hall, so that in the future, you can use the photos to decorate the interior, and you can get it done. The interior looks fake.On the other hand, Cheng Long, as an action director, also began to choose to conceive some indoor fighting scenes-although it is okay to shoot indoors later, but because now it is necessary to match the outdoor scenes, some small minions will be caught. I shot the shot of flying out of the building through the glass. This must be thought out in advance, otherwise how can I fix it later?

After choosing a room, Cheng Long and Jia Hongjian replaced the original glass with the mash glass that the crew already had.Such saccharified glass itself is much more expensive than glass, but it is better than safety.After these things were done, Cheng Long called a member of Cheng's class over and asked him to accept the makeup of the makeup artist, and he wanted to dress up like the young man next to Bain.Then he put on a blond wig specially for him, so that he looks like a white man from a distance.The place where the fall was on the second floor, Cheng Long and the others asked Jia Hongjian to find someone to park a car under the corresponding window on the second floor, and then told Jia Hongjian and the photographer that they were going to get a fixed car. A wide-angle shot of a panoramic shot...

"What?" the photographer Wally was dumbfounded at the time, "Mr. Cheng, don't you give your stuntman an air cushion? He may be injured or even die if he falls like this! You haven't bought insurance yet? Can you do this? "Can it work? Of course it can! We have been doing this for 20 years, how could it not work? Tell you that the car is our air cushion! If there is no car, the person will definitely go to the hospital if he falls, but with the car It’s different, although cars are generally less than 5 feet high, but the roof is usually made of iron, which can cushion vibrations! Besides, can’t you put vibration damping things inside clothes? Who, Mars, put clothes Take it off and show them what you prepared inside!" Cheng Long called a member of Cheng's class to show off at that time.

As soon as the man heard Cheng Long's words, he took off his hip-hop jacket at that time. As a result, the foreigners who took it off were stunned. A small steel pipe!At such a time, Cheng Long went up and explained, "The steel pipe will absorb energy at that time, so it won't make people's back so uncomfortable. At the same time, there is a sponge in it, so it won't make the back of the person with the steel pipe feel uncomfortable. There is also a layer of hard rubber, which can better withstand the impact. When you jump down like this, as long as your back can hit the roof of the car accurately and flatly, there will be no great impact. Although it is uncomfortable, it will definitely not Something happened! We have been doing this for 20 years, trust our professional ability!"

Hearing Cheng Long's words, the foreigners were all dumbfounded at the time, and what Jia Hongjian said at this time made the foreigners of the film crew gasp, "Brother Cheng Long has an incomparable reputation in East Asia. He is more famous than Stallone and Arnold combined. One of the reasons is that he and his team risk their lives every time doing stunts. Because of this, no insurance company in the world is willing to insure them. So almost 30 Over the years, he and his brothers have been doing stunts without any protection. Stunts like this are pediatrics. Back then, the eldest brother himself did it from the top of the building without any protective measures. Jump out and grab the ladder hanging under the helicopter..." When Jia Hongjian said this, foreigners were dumbfounded?They never thought they could do that!What the hell just jumped out and grabbed the ladder without any protection?If you can't grasp the rhythm of turning back, you will fall to your death!Even if you don't die, you will be seriously injured?What do these Chinese people think?

Seeing the astonishment of the foreigners, Cheng Long's face was calm at that time, and he also showed that it was a trivial matter and not worth mentioning back then!But in fact, he was sighing in his heart at this moment—really thought he and his team were fools or lunatics, and they didn't want to film in the green shed?They want to too!Even though Cheng Long was the number one movie star in Hong Kong back then, he didn't have the money to make such good computer special effects, so he could only work hard!In the small place of Hong Kong, with a population of several million, it is not bad to make tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars at the box office for a film, and only half of them can reach the film company in the end. Under such a situation, what kind of money do you get? For special effects?The exchange rate of Hong Kong dollars to U.S. dollars is 7:1. The profit of this last movie is only a few million U.S. dollars. With such a small amount of money, you still spend money to hire foreigners to do special effects?Don't want to make money?

As far as he is concerned, he is already an actor in Hong Kong who prefers big scenes and big productions. As far as the cars and factories are destroyed in his movies, his investment in movies is far less than that of Americans. high!Even his film investment is only one-tenth of that of other American literary films!In such a situation, what else could he and his men do if they didn't work hard?If the poor want to make money, without the foundation of the rich, don't they have to work hard?Rich people have money, when money is not a problem, many things are not a problem, but when money is a problem, then you can only fight with your life!
