Entertainment: From the Octagon to the big screen

Chapter 619 - Painful Fight

This morning Ana de Armas asked Chen Yu why it seemed like you guys couldn't kill each other in Sicario 2 even after shooting at each other with pistols for a while?
But before Chen Yu could speak.

Anna whispered, wondering if it was because once the shooting distance of a pistol exceeded thirty meters, it would become very difficult to control and the bullet would be greatly affected by the environment?
If a Chinese actress talked to Chen Yu about such stupid topics, he would definitely explain it patiently.

On the contrary, Anna has moved to the United States to live for several years, and she should be very clear about the above little things.

Not to mention that the pistol has a poor accuracy rate at a distance of thirty meters.

Even automatic rifles can encounter similar situations.

After all, most normal people would seek cover before opening fire to prevent the other side from launching a counterattack.

The two sides are separated by a chest-high fence and are shooting at each other, and the tug of war can last for a whole day. The one who is most likely to be unlucky in the end is the one with weaker physical strength or who has run out of ammunition.

American police emptied the magazine and shot the suspect in the car.

This is because ordinary vehicles are simply unable to withstand the dense and intimate greetings of 9mm bullets.

In addition, the small space inside the car makes it difficult to maneuver, which is a common problem.

Therefore, using the doors of ordinary vehicles as cover is one of the funniest scenes in movies and TV shows.

Even if the torso is hidden with the help of the engine or wheels, Chen Yu would not describe it as an idiot.

In addition, the military and police use vehicle doors mainly to interfere with the suspect's vision during a firefight.

Therefore, such plots that lower the IQ of the plot and actors and insult and mock the IQ of the audience were completely eliminated under the strict requirements of director Villeneuve and Sheridan.

Producer Mr. Ivanic also came out to express his support for Raspadori and Chen Yu's ideas.

The producers in "Sicario 2" are actually director Villeneuve and screenwriter Sheridan.

Chen Yu worked closely with Raspadori and five extras who once worked for the French National Police.

Try your best to incorporate the tense scenes that you have personally experienced into the gun battles and fighting scenes of "Sicario II".

Strive to give this work its own style and characteristics.

Director Villeneuve also let them experiment.

The reason why Director Villeneuve dared to do this is not complicated. In fact, he believed in the work:
"Sicario 2" does not rely on a large number of gun battles and fighting scenes to attract audiences.

Instead, it reflects the many problems facing the United States today and resonates with the audience.

Mr. Thanos, who is well-informed, would like to make a critical point of view:

Director Villeneuve more or less plagiarized the film philosophy that Spielberg summarized when making historical war films.

Moreover, his shooting techniques and narrative structure are mixed with some of Hitchcock's peak style.

In addition, the way the gun battle scenes and fighting shots are connected in "Sicario II" also reveals a hint of Doug Liman's classic techniques that he often uses.

Director Doug Liman is one of the most critical core creators of the "Bourne" series. He has a very good personal relationship with Sheridan and Villeneuve.

When Doug Liman is shooting a gunfight, he usually uses:

Use close-ups to present the facial expressions, facial expressions, and psychological activities of our personnel one by one;

Then use the track camera to switch to the mid-shot to share the battlefield situation and changes with the audience in real time;

Finally, we used a large jib to freeze the panoramic view so that the audience could see the rough deployment of the enemy personnel.

This shooting method is classic and can guide the audience step by step into the emotions set by the director.

However, it was a very difficult and arduous test for Chen Yu and others to test their performance tacit understanding.

Because this shooting technique is a processed and enhanced version of a long shot, it forces Chen Yu and others to cooperate perfectly.

Otherwise, no matter who was faster by a millimeter or slower by a second, they would have to go back to the starting point and start over. Chen Yu stood three meters in front of Planus and set up his arms to signal the latter to attack.

The dedicated Planus nodded slightly and immediately took a few small jumps sideways in a very standard T-step, adjusting the rhythm of the attack to the sound of "da, da, da, da" chanted by Chen Yu.

Then he quickly used a step to get into the outer circle of Chen Yu's right hand, and at the same time used continuous jabs to interfere with the latter's vision in order to open up the situation.

Chen Yu held the stance tightly to protect his lower jaw, dodged his ribs constantly, and patiently looked for an opportunity to cut back to the inner circle of Planus' left hand.

However, due to his stuck position, he made many fake moves such as shaking his head, shaking his shoulders, sinking his knees, and leaning sideways.

Nor could it distract or fool Planus, who was extremely focused.

Raspadori, who was sitting behind the monitor with director Villeneuve and Isabella, was quite satisfied with the rehearsal.

"What do you think of Planus throwing ten quick jabs followed immediately by four straight punches?"

While discussing with Chen Yu, who was replenishing water, Raspadori demonstrated a very standard back-hand straight swing and force-generating movement.

Then Planus, breathless, raised his objection.

Because if you do that, your breathing rhythm will be messed up.

As a result, Chen Yu was unable to keep up and fully connect with the bloodthirsty counterattack he launched at the 27th second mark.

This nearly 600-second processed and enhanced fight scene is shot in one take.

It took Chen Yu, Planus, Raspadori and others two hours and ten minutes of repeated research and discussion, and continuous experimentation with the play.

During the filming, Chen Yu's lips and nose, and Planus' eyes and gums were all beaten until they bled by their opponents.

Even Raspadori, who was in charge of the action design, had a swollen left cheek.

It’s not that Chen Yu couldn’t dodge Planus’ punches and kicks. Some of the attacks were designed so that the two of them had to take them on their faces.

This is the price to pay for pursuing actual combat and one-shot shooting.

It’s just that Chen Yu was able to control the strength of his blows, but Planus was almost there. Either his blows were too fake, or they came whistling and forced Chen Yu to dodge.

Planus is also a down-to-earth person. Facing Chen Yu's just-right attack, he would deliberately hit the front of his fist to achieve the best visual effect.

This made Chen Yu break into a sweat. Even if he adjusted the strength of the attack to the lowest level, a head-on punch would be enough to hurt Planus.

So Chen Yu was very hesitant during the first five takes.

Moreover, due to lack of concentration, his movements were distorted and he was hit by several jabs from Planus, which distracted the latter who was originally concentrating.

Director Villeneuve plans to shoot three scenes from 5 a.m. to 10 a.m.

As a result, the play "Sharpening the Knife Before Chopping Wood" was performed with great care and was also very miserable.

Chen Yu, Planus and others actually completed two more games than expected.

Director Villeneuve saw Chen Yu, who looked so embarrassed.

He decisively ordered the crew to stop work immediately and continue filming tomorrow morning.

Chen Yu threw the car keys to Anna and prepared to go to the private hospital that he had contacted in advance for a physical examination.

After all, I received several heavy punches to my chest and lower abdomen today.

Chen Yu, who values ​​his life very much, doesn't want any hidden injuries to remain in his internal organs.

Anna turned her head to glance at Chen Yu, whose left shoulder and collarbone were purple and blue, and whose lower and middle right arm was red and swollen, and she smiled as if she felt the same way and started the car.

To be honest, Chen Yu looks much better now than after the boxing match.
