rebirth of change

"You see, we emphasize the use of softness to overcome rigidity, and our Taijiquan, Shaolin boxing or other martial arts schools all contain a series of movement routines. Each move is not only beautiful, but also philosophical. In other countries, Especially in the West, whether it is fencing or boxing, they actually have only a few movements, but they are very direct and effective. Therefore, in order to conquer them, there must be changes in the form of expression. I am not denying our culture , On the contrary, I think our questioning has more meaning. But if our meaning cannot be fully understood by others, it will cause misunderstanding and numbness. Therefore, I think that in order to conquer them, we must adopt what they can understand and accept. way of expression."

"In fact, directness is not a bad thing. There is such a line in "Jing Wu Heroes", Chen Zhen said that knocking down the opponent at the fastest speed is the highest state of martial arts. This point of view, to a certain extent, I agree. And, in reality, we are actually learning and getting closer to this.”

"Hehe, there is a popular saying recently that what belongs to the nation belongs to the world, have you heard it? I don't particularly agree with this sentence. In fact, what belongs to the nation is what belongs to the nation. Unless he makes some kind of change, otherwise, most There is no way for the whole world to accept anything that is national.”

"Practice has proved that the direct way of expression can be accepted by the West, and so can the East. In Hong Kong, in China, the attendance rate of those Hollywood blockbusters shown in major theaters is not low. There is no need to worry that such performances will make Domestic audiences are uncomfortable, but we Orientals are inclusive.”

After so many years of experience and nurturing, Chen Kangjie already has his international vision and international pattern for the entertainment industry.He also has his own understanding and understanding of the difference and fusion of Eastern and Western films.

Chen Kangjie hopes that this film of his can combine the violent aesthetics of the East and the West, and this is also an attempt.He is using Western expressions to tell a Chinese story.Or use the external form of Western thinking to express the core of the Chinese spirit.

What is the core of the Chinese spirit?In Chen Kangjie's view, loyalty, fearlessness, bravery, dedication, unity, perseverance, etc. are all that.So long as the spiritual aspects you express relate to it, there's nothing tangled and weird about it in what way.

At the end of the Qing Dynasty, didn’t some people with lofty ideals put forward the viewpoint of “Chinese learning is the essence and Western learning is practical”?

Chen Kangjie hopes that through the intense and direct fighting scenes, the audience will have a refreshing feeling.As for whether it will be a little bloody, Chen Kangjie doesn't care. In this kind of life-and-death fight, there is no tenderness at all.

In addition, Chen Kangjie is really not very good at those traditional martial arts moves.Ever since Tuo Zhihan taught him, the focus has been on how to defeat the enemy as quickly and directly as possible.Since Chen Kangjie, the leading actor, is not good at those fancy but cumbersome movements, why not abandon them?

For example, at the beginning of this scene, Chen Kangjie will use a military dagger to cut off the neck of an "enemy", and blood will overflow.There is no way around this, if it is in reality, Chen Kangjie can only do this, is it possible to fight this "enemy" for a long time if he wants not to startle the snake?

Besides, Chen Kangjie and Chen Long acted as two soldiers, two spies from China. We must not let foreigners think that domestic spies are so sloppy in their work. That would simply tarnish the image of our soldiers.No matter what the real agents of the Republic are, Chen Kangjie hopes that they are tough guys, people who are resolute and decisive for the interests of the country, and even hope that they can take responsibility and be omnipotent.

Just because there is such an image in his heart, Chen Kangjie decided to act like this.

"I have to admit that your vision is indeed inferior to mine. Your views and opinions really exceed the thinking of ordinary filmmakers. I will obey your request, and I will act as you want me to do. "After Chen Kangjie's painstaking efforts, Chen Long was finally completely convinced by Chen Kangjie.

It is not that Chen Long has not cooperated and communicated with Western actors before. However, this is the first time he feels enlightened.This subverted his usual performance style and expression, but fortunately he accepted it.

Those people before, no one would talk to him so much, so in-depth, coupled with the influence of tradition, he has always insisted on his own way.

However, tradition has very little imprint on Chen Kangjie. Since his debut, Chen Kangjie has been facing the international stage.Whether it's music or other things, his expressions and methods are far from the Chinese tradition, and they appear with a characteristic that most caters to the West.

It's just that Chen Kangjie is not adoring foreigners, he is not subjectively trying to cater to the West, but his "plagiarized" works are themselves masterpieces that have killed the Quartet internationally.Over time, Chen Kangjie was influenced and infected subtly.

"Hehe, why are we being so polite? You don't have to flatter me so much. It's my first time acting. If there is anything that is not in place, I hope you can point it out. We are both teachers and friends, and I also hope that the first time A movie that you star in once can gain recognition from more people." Chen Kangjie said with a modest smile.

"Working with someone like you is my greatest luck. I am very proud and proud. I hope that I will have the opportunity to cooperate in the next film." With such a director with an international outlook, Chen Long certainly does not want the two of them to work together. The cooperation died once.

"The next movie? My brother, the next movie is still blank in my mind. Let's not think so far ahead. Finishing this one first is the top priority."

Chen Kangjie did not say that there was no cooperation between them, nor did he promise to continue with the next movie.This is in line with Chen Kangjie's sleek way of doing things, leaving a retreat, advance can be attacked, retreat can be defended.In a word, don't offend anyone.

The scene of this fierce fighting lasted for four hours, and it ended when night fell.

After filming, Chen Kangjie took a shower, ate something in a hurry and rushed to the sports field for training.During filming during the day, most of Chen Kangjie's training can only be arranged at night.Unless the weather is bad during the day and it is not suitable for shooting, Chen Kangjie will appear on the sports field during the day.

The altitude of Bulushaburo is similar to that of Chen Kangjie's hometown, so Chen Kangjie is more comfortable with the training here, and there is no discomfort in training because it is a foreign country in South Asia.

Since there was a scene to be filmed at sunrise the next day, Chen Kangjie's training didn't last too long. At ten o'clock, Chen Kangjie went back to the hotel they had booked to rest.

In the room, Chen Kangjie took a shower, washed off his sweat, put on his pajamas, and before he lay down, Xiong Ziqiang knocked on the door with someone.

"Brother Qiang, who is this?" Behind Xiong Ziqiang was a heroic young man. Although he was wearing a local costume, he still couldn't conceal his sturdy aura.It's just that this person, Chen Kangjie, was a stranger and had never met before, so he asked this question.

"Jie Shao, this is Que Wei." Xiong Ziqiang brought the young man in front of him and introduced him.

"Hello Chief, we have met." As soon as Xiong Ziqiang finished his introduction, Que Wei straightened up, saluted Chen Kangjie, and said loudly.

Chief?Chen Kangjie hadn't heard this title for a long time. The last time he heard this title was when Chen Kangjie was parading on Christmas Island.

Suddenly, Chen Kangjie thought that this Que Wei must have come from Christmas Island.And he said they had met before, so it is certain that Que Wei was one of the crowd during Chen Kangjie's military parade, otherwise, he would not have called Chen Kangjie "Chief" as soon as they met.

"Are you from Christmas Island?" Chen Kangjie asked.

"Report to the chief, yes." Que Wei replied still in the posture of a soldier.

Chen Kangjie waved his hand, "You should change your name, I'm not used to it. Sit down, sit down and talk if you have something to say, this is not in a military camp, and I'm not a soldier, we don't need to be so serious."

Chen Kangjie was indeed not used to it.The last time I accepted it, it was under the shabby atmosphere, and the people who were being reviewed were in uniform. In that atmosphere, Chen Kangjie didn't feel any embarrassment.

Now Que Wei treated Chen Kangjie seriously as a chief, and it was on such a private occasion, Chen Kangjie was really uncomfortable.As Chen Kangjie said, he is not a soldier after all.

"Que Wei, come here and sit down. Master Jie is a very easy-going person." Xiong Ziqiang greeted Que Wei to sit down on a sofa, poured him a glass of water, and sat beside him.

Chen Kangjie met guests in pajamas, which was a bit inappropriate.It's just that Chen Kangjie didn't pretend to change his clothes, but naturally sat down opposite Que Wei and Xiong Ziqiang.

"Brother Que, are you one of the 50 people sent to protect me this time?" Not everyone on Christmas Island has seen Chen Kangjie, and he has not seen all the 50 people who came to protect him this time.

"Jie Shao, no, Que Wei is from another team, and he led people to infiltrate A country before." Xiong Ziqiang replied on his behalf.

Even if Que Wei sat down, he would still be sitting upright, with his hands stretched out on his lap, still looking like a standard soldier.

Some characteristics of a professional soldier formed over a long period of time will subtly follow for a long time.

"Yes, chief...no, Young Master Jie, there are only four of us in that group, and we entered A country a month ago. I came to you this time because I have a message to inform you." Thinking of Chen Kangjie's reminder, Que Wei temporarily changed "Chief" to "Jie Shao".

"What news?" Chen Wensu asked.

"We have received news that someone is unwilling to give up and wants to attack you."
