The King of Huayu Science Fiction

Chapter 231 New Violent Aesthetics
"Director Chen, you have a lot of research on martial arts movements." Liang Guohan looked at the concept map and the script of the shot and said to Chen Jingxing in surprise.

Chen Jingxing shook his head with a smile and said: "I also like to watch many classic martial arts movies and action movies in the past, but I don't have the ability to design actions. It's just a visual concept of the fighting style of this movie. If you really want to design actions, you have to rely on You are old."

In fact, it is Chen Jingxing's reproduction of some classic action scenes in the original movie, which is equivalent to a conceptual drawing of an action style. Of course, he does not intend to copy the specific action design. The action director of the previous "Matrix" was a martial arts master , but there is no shortage of good martial arts design talents in Huaguo in this plane, and Liang Jiaban is also a top martial arts team.

Liang Guohan was very curious about the famous young director in front of him. In fact, after receiving the invitation from DreamWorks, the price was not even negotiated, and he couldn't wait to agree. The strange movie described by Chen Jingxing really aroused his curiosity. Heart.

"So what you want is a hodgepodge?"

"That's right!" Chen Jingxing described with some excitement: "The protagonist can be directly instilled with all the knowledge of martial arts in the matrix, so this plot itself is a very interesting stage for drama, and we can use this opportunity to show many It is a brand-new packaging for the element of Kung Fu.

This is hard to see in other film and television works, and it will fully upgrade the expressive tension of kung fu, and the audience can also get a new experience of the element of kung fu that they have never had before on the big screen. "

Chen Jingxing's positioning of the martial arts style of "Matrix" is an organic combination of reality and surreality.

The reality is that he hopes that the action design of "Matrix" can be disassembled, logical, and have moves, which can reflect the obvious aesthetic characteristics of Huaguo Kungfu, so he invited Liang Jiaban.

The surreal part is to match faster speed, stronger power, and more violent blow.

In fact, he thinks that the original version of "The Matrix" is flawed in this respect, or that it can be done better. The original version of "The Matrix" does not have enough impact. Of course, it is a movie at the end of the last century after all, and the visual effects technology has not yet been developed.

The surreal style that Chen Jingxing wants is a bit similar to the fighting style of "Dragon Ball", the perfect combination of speed, strength, sense of attack and destructive power, in the previous life plane "Superman: Man of Steel" is closer to the style Chen Jingxing wants.

The fighting style of super-English movies in this plane is popular, and the movements of the skillful and thin-skinned heroes are closer to martial arts. There is a big difference, and of course there are references to kung fu.

And Chen Jingxing wanted the combination of Huaguo Kungfu and "Dragon Ball" fighting style. He wanted extremely ornamental moves, and he wanted the visual impact of strength, speed and destructive power.

Especially after the first part, the protagonist awakened the super authority in the matrix, basically equivalent to the superman in the matrix, the only one who can pose a threat to him, the only one who confronts him is the same awakened pursuer, the fight between the two It is the duel between Superman and Superman. Of course, the action scenes in the original movie are also very exciting, but the impact is still far from enough.

Chen Jingxing believes that the combination of the fighting style of "Dragon Ball" and Huaguo Kung Fu can produce a truly visually impactful aesthetics of violence. In addition, he plans to use a 3D camera to shoot the whole process, which has a double blessing of 3D effects and the current level of visual effects. He is confident that the audience will be shocked by the power and beauty of Huaguo Kungfu on the big screen again.

Let everyone realize that the visual spectacle is not only a catastrophe, but also the impact of a visual spectacle that has been ebbing for a long time in the world with the blessing of high-level visual effects and new aesthetic concepts.

After listening to Chen Jingxing's new violent aesthetic packaging of Huaguo Kungfu, Liang Guohan was still a little hesitant after being shocked: "Martial arts and superman...the surreal comprehensive strengthening of Kung Fu...is this style really acceptable to everyone?"

Although Liang Guohan is over sixty years old, he is not conservative in his mentality and has no fundamentalist insistence on kung fu. In fact, any traditional culture or traditional skills that want to be widely recognized by young people in the new Internet age have to be repackaged or even affirmed. A certain degree of pruning and distortion is essential. If you insist on "authentic taste" with fundamentalism, the final result is that "authentic flavor" will be lost.

As a banner of Huaguo culture, kung fu has had a very glorious moment, but the popularity of kung fu has long ebbed in the world. Even in China, martial arts or fantasy works are becoming more and more perfunctory in terms of action and kung fu, because the focus of the audience has already It’s not about this aspect anymore, the character design and the plot are what the audience values ​​most. For action scenes, if the artistic conception is dealt with, the whole slow motion will be fooled.

As Liang Guohan, who has been a fan of martial arts all his life, he welcomes any attempt to repackage kung fu or action dramas as popular elements and market them. This is the main reason why he can so simply agree to Chen Jingxing's invitation, but for Chen Jingxing He is still somewhat lacking in imagination, after all, most of his martial arts guidance work objects are martial arts fantasy works.

Chen Jingxing seemed confident about this: "Actually, don't kung fu in martial arts works also have surreal elements? Lightness kung fu is the biggest artistic surreal treatment, but kung fu with the theme of martial arts combines the traditional Chinese culture for ethereal, graceful, romantic and even oriental. Unique soft aesthetic appreciation.

The kung fu elements of modern themes are integrated with the elements of modern martial arts, which enhances the practicality while taking into account the aesthetic appreciation.

The kung fu in "Matrix" is a futuristic sci-fi kung fu, which greatly improves speed, strength, impact and destructive power. This violent aesthetic style is definitely a new version for the audience. Believe me, Liang Old, using 3D technology to show in front of the big screen must have an explosive impact, and "Matrix" will definitely be a milestone in kung fu movies in the future. "

Liang Guohan looked at the concept design drawing provided by Chen Jingxing for him to design martial arts movements as a reference for his style, and sighed: "It's you young people who dare to think and do it. If it is true as you said, this "Matrix" can set off a new era." A wave of kung fu craze, me and my gang of old guys have to thank you."

Kung fu fever?
Chen Jingxing shook his head slightly in his heart. The spectacle of "action drama" is only one aspect of the shocking force that "Matrix" brings to the audience. Maybe the times are different and the world is different, but Chen Jingxing is confident that even in this plane, "Matrix" will definitely surpass others. The sci-fi work of the era, in a sense, is much bigger than the four films he has made before.
