The best director ever

Chapter 268 Psychological Shadows
That night, after witnessing the real Chinese Kung Fu, the three of Heath were in a state of excitement.Especially Dion's sprinting over the wall and the volley kick at the end made them even more addicted.

When they thought that they would learn similar martial arts in the future, they looked forward to it with great anticipation.

Three days later, Han Qiu left Xiangjiang and returned to Magic City to deal with other matters of the Matrix, while Heath and the others began to welcome at least two months of training life.

At the beginning of the training, including Chow Yun-fat, Baye arranged corresponding exclusive coaches for the four of them.

To Dai Ma's disappointment, the sexy girl he had been thinking about was abducted by Dion.At that time, he foolishly went to ask Annie if he wanted to train him himself.

Unexpectedly, he smiled apologetically, and ran directly to Dion, "Sorry, I have already chosen Master Dion as my coach."

Seeing Dion's upright speech and Annie's bright smile, Dai Ma's expression was filled with resentment.In desperation, he went to Hugo again. In his eyes, Hugo was stronger than Heath.That's just one thing, mainly Heath's smile and voice always made him shudder a little.

Dai Ma tried his best to search his memory, but he didn't know where his inexplicable sense of horror came from.

I seem to have seen it somewhere, but I don't have the slightest impression.
Therefore, Dai Ma instinctively wanted to stay away from Heath.

However, when he found Hugo, he was staying with Duan Jian.Seeing Dai Ma approaching, Duan Jian straightened his face and gave Dai Ma a direct look, causing Dai Ma to turn around resentfully.

As for Chow Yun-fat, he didn't even think about it. He has a good relationship with Ba Ye. It is estimated that Ba Ye trained him himself.And people have the foundation, just simply get used to it.

In the end, he had no choice but to find Heath.In Ba Ye's team, only a few of them are better at kung fu. The others are doing other jobs and generally don't fight.

A team can't be full of thugs, there must be people who do clerical work.

mid-April.

This day was the first time for everyone to start training, and the task assigned by Ba Ye was to learn the skills of hanging wires first.

Ba Ye greeted in the hall: "The first thing we have to do is to train you to get used to the steel wire, then we lift you up in the air, learn to maintain balance, the most difficult thing is to maintain balance when you land, you have to look very natural, and then you should learn effort."

Dion translated Ba Ye's words to Heath and the others, which made them a little helpless.After seeing the real kung fu last night, they were full of expectations. When they heard that they had to hang the steel wire first, they were naturally a little disappointed.

"Oh, what a pity, I thought I could learn kung fu first." Annie shrugged and said helplessly.

Dion shook his head: "That's not acceptable. You must first learn how to hang the steel wire before we can teach you martial arts moves, because some moves cannot be done without the steel wire hanging."

"No, you didn't use wires when you performed last night."

"We are different. If you spend decades learning Huaxia Kung Fu, you can do it to that level. But we only have two months now." Dion smiled faintly, "With steel wire and The camera is different, add special effects and you can create a kung fu master out of thin air. Believe me, you guys are definitely better in the movie than we were last night."

Annie nodded thoughtfully, "Well, I will train hard!"

On the other hand, Daima was also chatting with Heath, but one didn't speak English and the other didn't speak Chinese, so the communication was very awkward.In desperation, Dai Ma had no choice but to find a clerical employee with good English in the team.

With a translator, communication is much easier.

"Heath, I think you look very familiar. What kind of movies have you made in the United States before? Maybe I have seen them." Dai Ma asked doubtfully.

Heath thought for a while, and said, "There are only two movies that I also screened in China, one is V for Vendetta, and the other is The Dark Knight."

Dai Ma was pleasantly surprised: "Coincidentally, I have watched both of them. They are so wonderful! Especially the clown and V in them, they are amazing! By the way, what role do you play in it?"

The corner of Heath's mouth twitched, "If there is no one who looks like me in this world, then the clown and V should be me."

Hearing this, the interpreter was stunned for a moment, and then translated to Dai Ma with a strange expression on his face.After finishing speaking, Dai Ma's expression froze instantly.

He also understood now, no wonder he thought Heath looked familiar, no wonder he thought his smile was a bit creepy, he was a clown for a long time!
Amazing, it turns out that I also have a day to teach clowns how to learn kung fu.

Thinking of this, Dai Ma swallowed, and quickly stretched out his hand to hold Heath, "I have admired him for a long time, I have admired his name for a long time, the clown and V are both my idols, I didn't expect you to play them all. Especially the clown, it is amazing! "

Heath felt the strength coming from his hand, and was speechless in his heart.

So the coach is his fan?

"Thank you, I'm glad you like my character."

"Well, I really admire clowns, fighting against a city alone!" Dai Ma was very excited. Compared with superheroes, he prefers villains like clowns who play with people's hearts. "What about this movie, will you still play a big villain?"

"No more." Heath shook his head, "This time, I am the savior of mankind!"

"The savior? Save the world?" Dai Ma's eyes widened, and he was momentarily absent-minded.

Then, everyone began to train day after day.

Every day, the main task of several people is to hang steel wires and fly around in the sky above the factory.

Steel wire, "wire" in English, was transliterated by the Chinese as "Wiya".Therefore, in China, hanging steel wire is also called hanging wire.

In the first half month, every time after hanging the steel wire, the stomachs of Heath and the others were full, and they wanted to spit out all the food they ate that day.

This is just a small problem. The more difficult thing is to maintain balance in the air and when landing. According to Ba Ye’s words, it must look natural, just like a free fall, and when landing, you cannot shake left or right Akira, one word must be achieved: stable!

However, this word stability is too difficult to achieve, just like jumping from a few floors high, you must land firmly.Although there is a rigid rope hanging to minimize the risk factor, it is still not so easy to do.

Sometimes, the steel wire becomes an external factor that destroys the balance.

Therefore, during the first period of time, Heath and the others were really miserable, not only physically tired, but also mentally tired.Not to mention anything else, anyone who jumps up and down like a jumping machine, the little heart can't stand it.

In addition, after hanging the steel wire every day, Baye will teach a few people some basic movements such as leg pressing, splits, jumping, rolling, etc., in order to train actors without any martial arts experience into qualified martial arts actors.

In this way, Heath and the others became even more exhausted. Not to mention a girl like Annie, even a man like Hugo would complain and feel unbearable.

Sometimes, there are often complaints in the factory.

"Take a break, today is Sunday, Omaika!"

"No, no, let me lie down for a while before talking."

"Master Dion, you have to respect women. What? Stretch your legs? Don't cough, let me drink first."

At this time, Dion and the others looked at these white lambs like wild wolves with red eyes in the dark.

"Come on, let's train another set of movements, and we can rest for an hour."

Hearing this, Hiss and the others seemed to be full of vitality again!

In order to have a good rest, I worked hard!

However, rest is only relative, just like during the rest, everyone will always gather together to watch the martial arts action movies of Xiangjiang Seven in the 80s.

During this period, Xiangjiang's special effects were not so developed, and those martial arts movements were often not supported by steel wires. These actors were almost all professional or semi-professional Kung Fu masters!
Although looking back now, when they fight, every move and every style will be accompanied by an earth-shattering sound effect, and it is not good-looking, without any modern "cool".But at that time, it was full of memories.

All the tricks were paid for by the actors with their sweat.

Although few modern Chinese can watch this kind of movie, Heath and the others watched it with great interest, and felt that the martial arts scenes in it were no weaker than Dion and Duan Jian that night, and even worse. powerful.

Of course, there will always be differences between movies and reality, but the martial arts movies of Xiangjiang's period are infinitely close to reality.

Sometimes, the Hiss and the others would imitate the actions of the people on the screen, but they would often attract the ridicule of Dai Ma and the others.

"It's so ugly, it doesn't look like it at all."

"So soft, did you not eat today?"

"It's not like I said, you should first standardize the basic movements honestly, and then learn Kung Fu."

Hearing this, Heath and the others could only smile wryly, what the hell, Chinese Kungfu is really too difficult to learn.

Time, like everyone's sweat, flows quietly
A month later, in mid-May.

Everyone's training is still in full swing.Up to now, the training of everyone hanging the steel wire has been basically completed, or in other words, they have become accustomed to jumping up and down in the factory tied to a steel wire.

Even Heath and Hugo didn't need pads anymore, and they dared to train with steel wires.

Only Annie still couldn't let go.Every time after removing the pads, Anne was very scared and did not dare to do any movements.

For example, similar to Dion's walk on the wall that night.

Dion can only walk three steps on the wall, while Annie has to hang on the steel wire and walk more than half a circle on the wall, and when she finally lands, she also needs to do a side somersault.

When she first had the pads, Anne had succeeded many times, but when the pads were removed, she gave up.

Not only that, the main reason is that Annie fell once.That time, when she landed on the ground, she didn't have a good balance, she slipped and fell directly.Although it was only a scratch in the end, it still left a little shadow in her heart.

"Dion, you took the pads away, I don't think I can do it." At this moment, Annie was standing by the wall, wearing a white exercise suit with a steel wire tied around her waist, looking at Dion with a painful expression.

Seeing Annie's pitiful appearance, Dion felt quite helpless.Pads are necessary when you start training, but you can't have them when you're filming.

"It's not difficult, it's just that there is a missing mat on the ground. Believe in yourself, you can do it."

"No." Annie shook her head, "It's too difficult for me."

It was said that Dion's head really hurt.This is not the first time, Annie has been like this since she took off her pads four days ago.Dion had prayed secretly before, but after a few days, the shadow in this girl's heart would disappear.

But reality and expectations are often always opposite.

Raising his hand to check the time, Dion took another look at the darkened sky outside, and sighed: "Forget it, our training is here today."

Annie looked depressed, and apologized: "Sorry."

After speaking, Annie packed up and left the training ground alone.

At this moment, Dai Ma came over, squinted his eyes at Annie's perfect back, and asked curiously: "Why, this chick doesn't seem very happy, is it because you didn't satisfy her?"

Dion glanced at Dai Ma angrily: "Oh, I have encountered a bottleneck recently." After speaking, Dion recounted what happened to Annie.

After listening, Dai Ma was also a little speechless: "Well, it's still quite difficult. When you can't make a movie, you should also put a layer of pads on the floor for her!"

"Oh, that's why I have a headache." Dion sighed, "I'll find time to ask Ba Ye and see if he can help."
