It's reasonable for me, a stuntman, to live a crazy life, right?

Chapter 73 Zhang Ziyi: "You can train me, but I'm not afraid of hardship!"

Compared with "Hero", the fighting scenes in "House of Flying Daggers" are much more complicated.

Knives, swords, clubs, spears, shields, and throwing knives are the main weapons.

At the same time, there are five duels in the film, taking place in Peony Square, woods, sunflower sea, bamboo forest and snowfield.

Because she plays the heroine in the movie, Zhang Ziyi has a lot of fighting scenes, and there is a battle scene with her in almost every scene.

Referring to the script, Chen Fei recalled the memories in his mind.

In his previous life, when he was moving bricks at a construction site, he was bored one night and watched the movie "House of Flying Daggers".

He could not remember at all the emotional entanglements between "Captain Jin", "Captain Liu" and "Little Sister" in the play, but the martial arts scenes were vivid in his mind.

As a man, the pursuit of "ganghu" and "pleasure and grudges" will remain passionate at all times.

Just like when Xu Wei's song "Once Upon a Time" became popular, the sentence "I once dreamed of traveling to the end of the world with a sword" aroused many people's yearning for "freedom".

In addition, the scenes of Zhang Ziyi and Jin Chengwu's wild battle, the kiss scene with Liu Dehua in the bamboo forest, and the dance in Peony Square were also deeply engraved in Chen Fei's mind.

Zhang Ziyi is quite generous and is not stingy at all in giving benefits to his brothers.

...

Today's filming was about the dance scene about "The Immortal Guiding the Way".

This scene had nothing to do with Chen Fei, so he simply got behind the monitor.

Lao Mouzi is worthy of being a great director who won the Berlin Golden Bear. After officially entering the filming process, he was like a sophisticated computer, controlling every detail of the entire crew.

When the "blind girl" played by Zhang Ziyi entered the scene, Chen Fei's eyes lit up!
"Hey? This is simply a blind girl who is actually blind!" He muttered quite a lot.

Zhang Yimou turned around, took a deep look at him, and explained: "I arranged for her to live with a girl who was blind due to a brain tumor for two months."

"oh, I see!"

Chen Fei nodded knowingly, but he still couldn't help but complain in his heart.

In fact, this link can be completely omitted. After all, Zhang Ziyi's eyes have always been criticized, and he looks like a blind man in everything he does.

Isn't it just a blind girl who is blind?

The filming of the dance scene officially started.

However, what Chen Fei found very unexpected was that Zhang Ziyi only showed his face when he walked into Peony Square at the beginning.

When the dance scenes were officially shot later, most of them were done by two stand-ins!
"Hey? Isn't this Wang Xiaomeng from Country Love Story!?"

Looking at the familiar face of the female stand-in, Chen Fei's eyes lit up unconsciously.

Liu Dehua was also standing behind the monitor and watching. It was not yet time for him to appear.

Seemingly aware of Chen Fei's surprise, he explained in a low voice: "This dance is quite difficult. Director Zhang was not satisfied with Ziyi's performance during the test shoot, so he hired a stuntman.

The female stand-in is Wang Yabin, the champion of the national dance competition.

The male stuntman is Wu Weifeng, who is also a dance artist. "

Hearing this, Chen Fei nodded knowingly, but his eyes fell on Zhang Ziyi unconsciously.

As he expected, Zhang Ziyi's face didn't look very good now.

As an actor with dancing skills, he still needs the help of a stunt double to shoot such wonderful dance scenes. Isn't this a sign of "incompetence"?
……

It took a whole day to finally film this dancing scene.

Zhang Yimou's requirements are very high. Not to mention Zhang Ziyi, even two professional "dance artists" Wang Yabin and Wu Weifeng only barely reached the passing mark.

After shooting for a whole day, everyone was quite tired and there was not much activity at night, so they all returned to the hotel.

It is worth mentioning that under the arrangement of Cheng Xiaodong, Wang Baoqiang got the role of "catcher".

While he was happy, he also cherished this opportunity very much. He performed very diligently on the set today, which attracted many people's secret praise.After the day's shooting, Chen Fei returned to the hotel with the crew.

After dinner, at Lao Mouzi's instruction, a staff member took his ID card and helped him go to the front desk to open a room.

At the same time, all the creative staff, including Chen Fei, gathered in a small conference room.

He had just sat down and before he could warm his buttocks, he turned around and was shouted out by Zhang Yimou.

"You also read the script today. Do you have any ideas about action design?"

Combining the script and the familiar pictures in his mind, Chen Fei quickly responded:
"The flying knife requires special effects, so I won't go into details about this. I will specially design it for Sister Ziyi in terms of the gesture of throwing the knife.

The proportion of knives and swords is not high, so overall it is not difficult.

The most important thing is the fight scene in the bamboo forest. This scene has a lot of descriptions in the script, so it seems to be a very important scene.

Bamboo and sticks belong to the same root. I happen to have learned the Wulang Bagua stick, so I will focus on this part. Sister Ziyi has to work harder during this period, and the stick technique is not difficult to learn. "

Hearing this, Zhang Ziyi nodded with a smile: "Just train me, I'm not afraid of hardship."

Fade Chen: "???"

……

The seminar lasted until eleven o'clock, and everyone else's eyelids were already drowsy and starting to fight, but Zhang Yimou still looked energetic and talked non-stop.

In the audience, Chen Fei listened very seriously.

Especially regarding some precautions during the shooting, he even picked up a pen and paper and recorded them in detail.

Since acquiring the skill of "Photography Proficiency", he has had the urge to become a director himself!
It's a pity that if you want to be a good director, it's not just enough to know the shooting skills, he also needs to learn a lot.

During the filming of "Buried Alive", after every scene, he would go behind the monitor to ask Ning Hao for advice.

During the filming of "Spider-Man 2", he also learned a lot of directing experience from Sam.

And today, what Zhang Yimou said benefited him even more!
Chen Fei secretly made up his mind that when the semester starts next semester, he must go to the Department of Photography and the Department of Directing to attend more lectures and learn more.

According to the plan, next year he will direct and act by himself and officially shoot his first work!
The script has already been selected. I will contact China Film Group after a while and ask them to help submit it for review.

With Han Sanping's face, I believe there won't be any problems with the review.

"Buzzing..."

Chen Fei's thoughts were interrupted by a sudden vibration in his pocket.

He took out his cell phone and took a look. When he saw the three words "Jiang Xuerou" marked on the caller ID, his brows trembled slightly.

After saying hello to Zhang Yimou, he left the conference room first.

"Hello? Sister Xuerou?"

After answering the phone, Chen Fei was the first to say hello.

Jiang Xuerou spoke very quickly, as if there was something urgent: "I read online reports that you have returned to China? Where are you?"

Chen Fei replied: "Still in Kyoto, helping arrange some actions for Director Zhang's "House of Flying Daggers"."

"Then do you have time to come to Huairou Film and Television City tomorrow? I need your help with something."

"Huh? What's the matter?"

"There was something wrong during the filming of "Water Moon Cave Sky". I can't explain it clearly. Can you come tomorrow? I'll talk to you in person."

"Okay, then I'll go there early tomorrow morning."

After agreeing on a meeting time, Chen Fei hung up the phone.

The filming of "House of Flying Daggers" was not rushed. The early stage was almost all literary drama, and the martial arts drama was mainly concentrated in the second half, so he was quite free.
