Actors have no vacation

Chapter 112 Consultants
Twenty or thirty years ago was the golden age of martial arts movies.Chinese martial arts movies are popular all over the world. At that time, martial arts stars were the most popular and made the most money.

Just like rappers from the United States, idol artists from Han Gaoguo, comedians from Sakura Country... Chinese martial arts actors are also regarded as a kind of rising channel, and a large number of newcomers have poured in.

Lin Wuzhi of "The Key to Destiny" often encountered fights when he first entered the industry.

Even if you want to be reasonable, the other party insists on fighting with you, and you have to accompany me for a while, otherwise you will be said to be bloodless and practice martial arts for nothing. In the days to come, you will get a catchy new nickname.

Lin Wu pointed out that he was full of blood, he fought a lot, fought fiercely, and had many friends on the road.After he brought his realistic style to work, even though his fights are routine, he often fights for real, punching to the flesh, with ruthless hands, which is different from the graceful and unrestrained ones in other martial arts movies who are not injured when they are beaten The style made the audience grin their teeth, as if they were also hit.Among the martial arts actors of the same age, his rise rate belongs to the first echelon, and he was once popular.

However, due to the unmentionable illness accumulated in his youth and his overly desperate style, after a serious injury at the age of 40, Lin Wuzhi moved from the front of the stage to behind the scenes, and began to work as a martial arts instructor and action director.There are fewer fights in person, but the status has risen. The nickname is majestic and positive. According to the custom of the capital, he is honored as the master and pronounced twice.

Director Tian invited him to come. One is that the fight scenes in "The Key to Destiny" are divided into two sets, one set of killers is used for group performances, and the other is used for killers' work. The "false" and "reality" fight scenes are both good-looking , and at the same time, there must be a difference. There are not many martial arts with this ability.

The second is knowing that Guan Chen has real kung fu, so he needs a master who can fight and act to fully develop it.

Lin Wuzhi took over the job.

Before starting the machine, when Guan Chen found him, the first thing he did was to ask him for advice.

Lin Wuzhi did not agree.

The fastest way for a newcomer to gain fame is to do something big, and to rise to the top by stepping on the bones of their predecessors.

Lin Wuzhi didn't want to give someone a reputation for no reason.Over forty years old, he has passed the standard of premature death, has no intention of newcomers and new affairs, and has passed the period of relying on fists to maintain his status.

Guan Chen was not annoyed after being rejected, he would look for an opportunity to propose a discussion almost every day.

Lin Wuzhi refused a lot, thinking that Guan Chen would be practicing so he didn't cooperate, and found some small troubles to provoke him, in order to fight.He already had a lot of records in mind to clean up Guan Chen.But during the training period, Guan Chen was always honest, he learned the movements without compromise, and his attitude was extremely correct. He occasionally suggested a few times, but he was also seeking truth from facts, and sincerely wanted to make the play look good.

Lin Wuzhi couldn't grasp Guan Chen's specific thoughts, but he began to pay attention.

He soon discovered that Guan Chen was not a traditional warrior.

Warriors learn boxing, there are training methods and fighting methods.Guan Chen didn't have any training methods, so he asked his apprentices to give him targets and feed him moves, and directly practiced his tactics one by one.

And Guan Chen's hands are black.In a martial arts competition in the arena, the front fist is used to judge the distance between the enemy and the enemy. It can control the opponent's head at the moment of punching. It seems to "support" the opponent's head, but it is actually to position the back fist and guide the direction. .It's natural to do well, but to do it well is to deliberately pull the opponent's head.

Guan Chen's forehand punches hit and hit, and he would often run into his opponent's eyes when he was caught off guard.What he learned was the golden silk eyebrows of Baguazhang, which is specially designed to disable people's eyes.It's not the way to compete in the arena at all.

Finally, Huaxia Wuxing looks down on foreign boxing.Some martial arts actors who are not well mixed, in order to make a living, will go to the United States or Europe to seek a living, either on the screen, for foreigners to duel in movies, and let Chinese Kung Fu lose to boxers and cowboys; or in reality, Participate in programs such as [Boxing Style] and make fake punches.No matter what kind, I feel ashamed to some extent after acting.

But Guan Chen didn't have any discrimination when he practiced martial arts.

There are several types of steps alone, such as jumping steps, butterfly steps, and even the steps of Western swordsmanship, which are almost child's play, and Guan Chen has learned them all.And the learning is not to be learned in a nutshell, it is indeed useful in actual combat, and it is quite proficiently integrated with its own fighting system.

People can't see the footsteps, and can't see the succession of the teacher.

In his eyes, there seems to be no difference between East and West.It seems that as long as it is a technique that can fight humanoid creatures, he is willing to learn.

In ancient times, such a person was called a Wu Chi.

Lin Wuzhi asked Guan Chen which master he learned martial arts from.Guan Chen said that he learned from Master Cai from the Cai family class.

Lin Wu asked which Master Cai it was.Master Cai from Cangzhou?From Chancheng?
Guan Chen said he was from Jinmen.

Jinmen?Lin Wu pointed to contemplation, as if he was stumped.Never heard of it.He also asked what achievements he had, or what works he had.Guan Chen replied that he didn't know either, and he didn't remember it.

Fortunately, Guan Chen also said that half of his martial arts came from Master Cai, and half came from the old man next door to his house.The old man has no children, and only half of his disciples.

Lin Wuzhi didn't find it strange after hearing it.After the modernization of martial arts, the situation of self-preservation has become less, but there is still a special kind. If you can't find a disciple, you would rather learn it.

Probably only a pure person like Guan Chen made the old man want to accept his disciples and taught him in the end.

To some extent, it is quite appropriate to choose Guan Chen as the killer in "The Key to Destiny".They are pure and uncomplicated people.

There is a saying in the film and television industry that 90% of a director's work is in casting. If the actors are chosen correctly, directing will be very easy.

Lin Wu pointed out that he had never met an actor like Guan Chen. After getting along with him for a while, he understood Guan Chen's character. At the same time, he also understood that the reason why the other party chased and beat the old man was not just for fame.

But it should be rejected.Guan Chen has great physical strength, wild style, fierce moves, and doesn't know how to respect the old and love the young. Fighting with such a person is killing himself.

"Master Lin, shall we practice?" Guan Chen bid farewell to the staff and walked towards the corner of the crew.

"It's time to practice." Lin Wuzhi nodded with eagle eyes.The advantage of going through dangers when you are young is that your eyes are still sharp when you are old, your temper is stable, and your response is quick. "The shooting will start soon. You should practice quickly and get familiar with the movements."

Guan Chen corrected his mistake: "What I mean by Lian Lian is..."

Lin Wuzhi picked up the storyboard and fell into deep thought, pretending to be busy.

But Guan Chen didn't do this with him at all, and insisted on finishing what he had to say, "Master Lin, it's idle now anyway, let's fight?"

Lin Wuzhi put down the manuscript, feeling helpless.He felt that there was no need for him to fight Guan Chen.Once an actor starts working, in a sense, his body is no longer his own.Especially since Guan Chen is still the lead actor, if any bumps and bumps delay the filming schedule, the work of hundreds of people will be affected, so there is no need for such a meaningless fight.

"I'm not a professional. If you really want to fight, I'll find you a martial arts gym after the shoot, and let active fighters compete with you, how about it?" Lin Wuzhi said to Guan Chen.

Guan Chen was very happy after hearing this, and left contentedly.

Lin Wuzhi lowered his head to read the manuscript, this time he was really serious.

After a while, the actors arrived one after another.

Today's scene is the beginning of the movie. The killer comes on stage, performs tasks, and kills people like no one in the criminal den.

There are not many main characters in this scene, but there are many extras.

The other main character of the film did not need to be present, but Lin Wuzhi discovered that the other protagonist also came to the set.

"Master Lin." Xiang Jun noticed Lin Wuzhi's gaze, so he walked over to say hello.

Lin Wuzhi nodded: "Come?"

"Come and take a look." Xiang Jun looked at the set and answered casually.

Lin Wu pointed out that he had read the script hundreds of times, and knew that Xiang Jun was not in today's scene, but he was not surprised that Xiang Jun appeared.

I heard that Xiang Jun tried the role of killer before, if there is no Guan Chen, there is a good chance of success.It's a pity that I met Guan Chen who was more suitable for the role, but I couldn't win it. Finally, I listened to Director Tian's suggestion and changed to the role of a waste material in the film.

Xiang Jun has a smooth star journey and is known as a talented actor. Although he was preyed upon by a rookie, he still has his own pride.There are two protagonists in the movie, one is a killer and the other is a waste material. It does not mean that the killer must be better than the waste material.If the waste material can perform well, it will not lose weight to the killer.

A few days ago, Xiang Jun didn't come over to watch the scene where only Guan Chen was filming.

But here he is today.

Today happens to be the day when the trailer for "Police Story" is released.

Half of the film is well shot, and the other half is well executed. In the end, the combination is equal to a good work.However, most of the movies, when it comes to the operation stage, will grit their teeth and scold that the previous filming was not done well.

The trailer industry is now very mature, and there are specialized companies responsible for editing and distribution. There are still more than three months before the release of "Police Story". The first trailer was originally just to test the waters and show its presence, but judging from the discussion on the Internet, it has obviously exceeded expectations.

As an industry insider, once a popular actor in the field of action movies, and now a martial arts instructor of his own, Lin Wuzhi can roughly judge the quality of the feature film through the preview.

Its structure, soundtrack, and rhythm are all work, worthy of the price, not too innovative and special.But cleverness highlights the villain.

A mysterious young behind-the-scenes man with eyes full of stories, principled not to kill civilians, high IQ, high skill, playing games in the world, lurking in the enemy's base camp, whoever said he took the script of the protagonist.

In the entire Chinese movie world, there hasn't been such an eye-catching villain for at least five years.

After seeing Guan Chen's performance, Xiang Jun couldn't sit still and take a look at his performance, which is really normal.

At eight o'clock in the evening, it was completely dark.

Shooting night scenes, the day's work begins at this time.

Guan Chen and the rest of the actors have already changed their clothes and made their poses.

Director Tian also came out of the room, without saying a word, everyone went to their respective posts to stand by, ready to start working.

"Come on, let's go for a try first." Director Tian walked to Maza in front of the monitor and sat down.

The blood plasma did not explode, and the props were not damaged.This time, I don’t turn on the machine, so I’ll practice walking first and get familiar with the moving lines.

However, after two rehearsals, Guan Chen walked up to Director Tian and said, "Director Tian, ​​I have a mature idea."

Lin Wuzhi's eyelids twitched.Good guy, most people would say that they have an immature idea, but this Guan Chen is not humble.

Director Tian asked Guan Chen to speak.

Guan Chen pointed to the group performers who were half holding knives and half holding pistols, and asked, "Are those pistols standard? Or self-made?"

Director Tian asked, "What's the difference?"

Guan Chen said: "It's not easy to make guns in China. The average criminal organization can't have a standard pistol in hand. Most of the junior level use self-made. Homemade pistols have disadvantages, poor accuracy, and often after one shot Stuck. There is no condition for practicing marksmanship. In this case, the weapons of the people in this organization should be mainly knives, and only use pistols when necessary."

After everyone listened, it was very quiet all of a sudden.

Guan Chen continued: "But if it is a standard, it means that there are arms channels. It is not a problem for everyone to be armed. Maybe it can be used for micro-charging. The important thing is that such an organization has the conditions to organize gunmen to practice marksmanship. But in this case, They will mainly use guns. Now half of the people hold knives and half of them hold guns, so it's a little... I don't understand the composition of this organization."

After Guan Chen finished speaking, Lin Wuzhi heard someone whispering in the crowd: "It's really an ordnance consultant!", "This information is prepared too carefully..."

Director Tian nodded after listening to Guan Chen's words, and quickly decided to let the younger brothers each have a pistol, and some lucky ones even got a miniature submachine gun.

"slow."

When Director Tian was about to go through it again, Guan Chen yelled to stop again.

"What else?" Director Tian asked.

"If it's a pistol, it's best to add a suppressor, that is, a silencer." Guan Chen pointed to everyone's pistols, and then took out one from his pocket, "I'll add one to this one too."

Guan Chen said that the noise produced by almost all firearms exceeds 140 decibels.Even if the muffler is added with subsonic bombs, the noise will be lowered and lowered, but it is still no less than the sound of talking and coughing.

"The biggest function of the silencer is mainly to protect hearing, and it also prevents the enemy from quickly judging the source of the gunshots." Guan Chen said that he had seen the structure and space of the house just now. "If it is in an indoor room, two or three The pistols fired at the same time, and the sound was deafening to one's ears."

The onlookers hesitated and said, "Why did he speak as if he personally..."

The person next to her immediately pulled her up: "Shh, he is an ordnance consultant, and he has checked the information!"

　Happy holidays everyone.
