Huayu, my wife, I support myself

"do not forget."

Lu Chen reminded: "The products produced by Jiaxing must be high-quality."

Ok,

This is putting positive pressure on yourself.

Ye Yong's mood was undoubtedly tense.
But while being nervous,
He even felt a little excited about the difficulty of the subjects he would shoot in the future!

To know.

He has participated in both the previous "Youth Song" and "Awakening Age".

of course.

It’s also just participation.

As for why he couldn't take the lead, he also knew the reason.

therefore,

Not much to say either.

I didn't expect that the opportunity would come now.

The opportunity really came.

The web series he just finished was actually not too difficult to shoot.

we can even say,
Just find a good director,

can produce the same effect,
Although I study very hard, I keep improving my level.

But the works I shot before,

It's still hard to get him to play his full game like a fish in water.

right now,

The opportunity is coming!

It's finally here.

He envied Du Yu before, but no longer.

Hold the script of "Lotus Tower" tightly,

He suddenly nodded heavily: "Don't worry, boss, I won't embarrass you. If the photo isn't done well, I'll be willing to be punished."

"You think too much, no one will punish you."

Lu Chen smiled: "The most I can do is kill the finished product and let them make a new version."

Ye Yong's face turned pale. The things he had worked so hard to photograph,
Finally he was killed,

Isn’t that called punishment?
He must not fall into such a situation. He clenched his fists.
Ye Yong's determination became stronger.

He left the office with the script.

Back in his office, Ye Yong immediately opened the script and started reading it.

Although I was determined to film this story,
But if the content of the story itself is not exciting enough, it will not work after all.

Just like that, she kept turning the pages.

As time passed, Ye Yong's eyes became brighter and brighter, and his hands turning pages became slower and slower. Sometimes he frowned in meditation, sometimes his mouth corners curled up, sometimes his eyes were angry, sometimes he bit his lips...

"What's Li Xiangyi's background?"

"And Shan Gudao, he couldn't be the mastermind behind the scenes... or someone else... Li Xiangyi is too powerful... He only has two or three levels of internal power left and can still fight so well... The protagonist is too smart, right? ...This person is actually just a superficial cover..."

Ye Yong completely entered the plot.

When he regained consciousness, he had already stood up from the table.
Suppressing emotional excitement,
He breathed a long sigh of relief. What is certain is that the script of this drama is very good.

The boss' plot structure ability is too strong.

However, the acting skills of actors, especially the protagonists, are very demanding.
As a director, I have a good grasp of the camera, atmosphere, etc.

The requirements are also very high!
"Be sure to take a good picture!"

Ye Yong's body suddenly emitted something called "aura".

He is growing,

And Lu Chen took out the script of "Lotus Tower",

I just hope that the other party can grow more efficiently. Jiaxing Media’s bench of TV drama directors may not be as talented as the film directors.
But anyone who comes out,

All are remarkable.

A few days later.

"Lotus Tower" project officially launched!
It's definitely a star-studded drama.

The Original World was first a web drama, and later also appeared on television.

therefore,

There is no problem if they decide this is a star drama.

There will definitely be no problem with the review.

Compared with the original world,

In comparison, the review in his world is much looser.
therefore,

They are not worried about auditing.

of course.

In fact, in Lu Chen's opinion,
Today’s TV dramas and online dramas are no longer so different.

There is not much difference in influence between them.
Therefore, even if it is made into a web drama, Jiaxing Media will not lose anything.

but,

The chain of contempt is still there!
Those that are on TV stations are called serious dramas, while those that are not on TV can only be called online dramas.

therefore!

TV series are still the place that TV series directors yearn for.

This web drama project is established...

Naturally, actors mostly digest it internally.

However, the work has very high requirements for the male protagonist.
So Ye Yong found an artist with impressive acting skills in his early years to play the role of Li Xiangyi.

of course,

Not too old either.

It seems that there is an echo in it,

The male protagonist of "Lotus Tower",

It is somewhat similar to the success in the previous life,

It is also an antique ceiling.

The behind-the-scenes footage of that kind of fight is better than the feature film.
Every move is perfect,
When filming martial arts, fighting scenes are definitely the focus.

Too many martial arts dramas I’ve watched in recent years have been rendered in slow motion. Although the martial arts figures’ strength seems to have improved,

But my martial arts skills seem to have declined.

It's rare to see a real fight scene where the martial arts fight is as ethereal as a fairy tale.

In the original world, there were several dramas in succession in which people hit and pulled the crotch,

It directly made the audience lament "the decline of martial arts dramas" once again.

"Swordsman in the Snow" has been criticized for being a PPT-style martial arts scene.
Other people's fighting scenes are so punchy that they hit the flesh.

Fast and burning,

The fight scenes in this show are slow and confusing.

Also, the fight scenes in "The Wind Rises in Luoyang" were praised by some netizens at the beginning.

It was later discovered that a fighting scene somewhere in the show had been plagiarized from another animation, from moves to shots.

once,

Martial arts films and action films are a very important category in film and television dramas.
There have been many classic works,
He also made many martial arts actors famous,

Martial arts culture is also an important part of Chinese culture.
But now,
The martial arts scenes in domestic dramas are often criticized by the audience. The fights are fake, watery, and nondescript, all relying on slow motion.

How did the martial arts drama get to where it is now step by step?
"Chinese martial arts dramas have no faith." An action director said this,

be honest.

This sentence makes quite a lot of sense.

The reason why the martial arts dramas on the market are criticized by the audience is because

A big reason is that they played very "fake".

This hypothesis does not mean that you have to hit them hard, but that no matter how they fly,

The audience couldn't find the point of their flight.

for example.

"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" by Li Yu.The fight scene between International Zhang and Yang Ziqin chasing each other on the rooftop,

No matter which lens you analyze from,
Their flying movements can find the fulcrum for exerting force,
For example, if you push your foot on the wall, the person will bounce up.
But now there are some fantasy fairy tale dramas,

It flies up and down in the air, but there is no point of exertion, or if you pull it with your finger, the opponent will fall to the ground. The movements are so ethereal that the audience cannot believe it.

in fact,

In addition to practical issues,

Lu Chen also felt that,
Many action directors have problems with their concepts from the very beginning.

In the 80s,
Chinese action movies have reached an extreme level,
Whether it’s a kung fu movie shot by Yuan Heping, Hong Jinbao and others,

It is also a martial arts film that Chen Xiaodong participated in and directed.
It will be difficult for younger generations to surpass them.

Perhaps for the sake of innovation, many directors will combine various martial arts elements when filming martial arts scenes.
For example, Muay Thai and Hollywood-style martial arts movements,

We will also use Wia, special effects and other things to create a visual special effect.
but.

They didn't really learn from each other's strengths and learn from each other,
In the end, after doing it, it became the messy stew it is now.

Just like a nation without faith,
Chinese martial arts dramas are now facing such a problem.

In Lu Chen's opinion.

Martial arts scenes are not just routine tricks;
It is to serve literary drama. When designing actions, the action director must understand the plot and character, and combine this understanding to design suitable martial arts actions for the actors.

Simply put,
Nowadays, when filming martial arts scenes, many people only imitate classic scenes from other movies.
I simply don’t understand why people would use such actions.

Why use slow motion.

As for the reasons for this result.

In Lu Chen's opinion.

There are many, the first is lack of time.

First of all.

There are many directors who don't pay much attention to martial arts scenes. They think it's just a fighting scene and they can just do a few casual scenes.

Just compare it and you will know.
In the past, a fight scene between three people would take at least a week to shoot.
But now many people are using their time to make movies to make dramas. The filming is completed in three or four months, often leaving only one day for filming.

It's very simple.

Time is tight and the production team is under great pressure.

I just want to find someone who is cheap and can get the job done within the stipulated time.

Secondly,

In the years when the film and television industry was developing rapidly, practitioners were mixed, and bad money drove out good money.

Simply put,
Some people have been working as stand-ins for a few years when they first entered the industry.

Or just participated in the filming of a big drama as an assistant,

Through various relationships, he became an action guide.

Maybe he's good at kung fu, but he doesn't have the ability to design actions and shots.

I can't think about how to shoot a martial arts scene from the perspective of an action director.
Therefore, many martial arts scenes are fought for the sake of fighting and do not serve the characters.

In the end, martial arts talents will wither.

If Lu Chen remembers correctly.

In 2000, the price of martial arts was 6000-8000 yuan a month.

More than 20 years have passed,
Wages in other functional departments such as clothing and makeup are constantly rising.
But now the price of martial arts is still a few thousand yuan, and you can only earn more than [-] yuan a month by working as a stand-in for big movies or large-scale TV series.

The meager remuneration is not attractive to young people, and it also makes it impossible for senior martial arts masters to support their families.

As a result, there are fewer and fewer outstanding talents in the industry.

Lu Chen saw what some directors said on the Internet: "There are fewer young people who can endure hardships now. People who did martial arts in the past had good physical fitness and could jump off the second floor for a shot. There are not many young people now." People are willing to endure hardships to practice martial arts to a very advanced level, and it is quite difficult to find a substitute with very good martial arts skills in the industry."

This is obviously fart!
You raise the salary and see if anyone comes to work hard!
of course,

Like the national football team, pretend he didn’t say it!

of course,

In addition to these three reasons,
There are also industrial production methods,
Many directors only like to work with the same team. The same people come and go, and the audience will inevitably get bored of it.

There are some newcomers who do quite well in martial arts scenes, but because they can't get into the mainstream spotlight, they can't realize their ideas.

such as.

The actor's martial arts scenes were all assigned to Wu Tai.

"Short, smooth and fast" production process,

Not only does the action director have no time to polish his movements, but also the actors who have no time to train produce unsatisfactory results.

The dramas with Pursuit all follow the movie model, and the action team comes in in advance to design the actions for the key scenes.

The actors join the crew in advance to participate in training, but the reality is that less than half of the crew can do this.

Moreover, most of those who can participate in the training are new actors or three male or four male actors.
Even if the main actors want to practice,

There may not be time,

Many times you can only teach them on the spot during filming.

Of course, there are more actors,
It has been tacitly accepted that martial arts scenes are the work of martial arts actors.
Whenever we encounter a slightly difficult martial arts scene, we either ask the action team to lower the difficulty.

Or just say "I can't do it" and the director will be turned away.

There are a lot of examples online.

“For example, the crew has set up the lighting, and the action director has finished demonstrating the movements.

Just wait for some little fresh meat to make a move,
As a result, there were a lot of people waiting, and the young guy actually said that he would wait until he finished playing the game before filming. "

"There is also a certain popular actor who always plays the role of a domineering CEO. He can never be called during filming. He almost never starts work on time. He disappears when the time limit is slightly exceeded. When filming a martial arts scene, this doesn't work, and that doesn't work either. Let’s change the action.”

There are countless examples of this.

These various bizarre encounters have made countless action directors become "Buddhist".
These directors know very well that functional departments like theirs serve actors.
So if they encounter such unreasonable demands again, they won't argue.
If the actor is willing to do the action, they will come up with a plan that the actor is willing to do. If the actor is unwilling to do it, or his physical coordination is really poor, they will adjust it to a plan that the actor can do.

in fact,

In Lu Chen's view, the decline of fighting drama is only temporary.

It's very simple.

If the creators pay attention to it, it doesn’t mean that they can’t shoot martial arts scenes.

For example, "The Twelve Hours of Chang'an",
Lu Chen thought the photo was pretty good.

This film was filmed for more than seven months. Many of the actors in the martial arts scenes did it themselves, and they were all very physical. Compared with other works in the industry, it is already very sophisticated.

In addition, nowadays audiences frequently complain about martial arts scenes.

In Lu Chen's opinion, this is not necessarily a bad thing.
It shows that everyone is beginning to pay attention to this phenomenon. When the audience does not pay, the boss will definitely use those teams with caution, and will also think about why such a situation occurs.
Maybe during post-production, the action team will be given more time to polish more exciting fighting scenes.

Therefore, in Lu Chen's opinion.

The decline of martial arts dramas is only temporary;
As long as the creators are given enough time and space,

Maybe in another ten or eight years, everyone's love for kung fu and martial arts movies will be aroused again.

This is why the martial arts in "Lotus Tower" are so shocking to the audience today.

Especially Cheng Yi’s martial arts,

It can be described with the word "amazing".

Have a look.

Stunning!

To be honest, in the eyes of many people, these martial arts moves are really not amazing.

Push forward ten years.

There are plenty of actors who can do these things.

As for now,

It's really amazing.

Although compared with real practitioners, this actor is not a professional martial arts person.

He himself said that what he practiced was not considered real martial arts.

but.

Art comes from life and is higher than life. The main functions of real martial arts are attack and defense. The sense of power is too strong. If it is not artistically designed, the screen beauty may not be enough.

And physical arts such as dance may be too soft and lack a sense of power.

The martial arts in "Lotus Tower" have both a sense of beauty and power, making it attractive enough to make people want to watch it. It seems that they are really the best in the world and a master in the martial arts novels, with full strength, graceful form and action. Smooth, elegant and unrestrained, it is really rare!

The actor Ye Yong was looking for.

The price is very cheap.

The acting is excellent.

Such a person is the most suitable person for "Lotus House", so Ye Yong directly chose the male lead.
