Chapter 409: Action scenes are difficult to shoot, nominated for 2 Grammys

Action movies are not too difficult to shoot. If it’s just hard to beat, let alone the Hong Kong film industry, even the mainland film industry can shoot not badly. It is guaranteed to be exciting and intense. advantage!

But, where is there still room for pure fighting movies to survive now?

No matter how hard you fight, no matter how dazzling you are, audiences who have long been spoiled by Hollywood blockbusters will not sell it, because most movie fans prefer all kinds of violent blasting and destruction scenes. .

To put it bluntly, if the current action movies do not have thrilling car skills, shocking explosions, and passionate gun battles, then this movie is almost ashamed to call itself an action movie.

And in this way, it naturally makes it difficult to shoot movies, especially shooting scenes of explosions.

"Chisa, Ting Fung, Wu Jing..."

In a large warehouse in Wanchai, Chen Musheng looked at the three leading actors in front of him, and said very solemnly: "The next scene will be the most exciting, but also the most difficult and dangerous plot of our movie. You may be injured, most likely you will die, I hope you will be safe and sound, without any injuries, and the filming will be finished smoothly and well!"

Xie Tingfeng nodded silently, without saying anything, but couldn't help touching his cheek with his hand, there were some bruises on it, it was accidentally injured by Wu Jing's fist in the previous scene.

Probably because he touched the sore spot, he couldn't help taking a breath, and the muscles on his face twitched a few times involuntarily.

Brother Xiao Sa who was wearing a bandage had no expression on his face and just hummed.

But the corners of his mouth are still a little bloodstained, which was accidentally caused during the beating scene just now, and there is still some bloody smell in his mouth at this moment!

Wu Jing is the most normal, nodding with a smile and replying: "No problem!"

He is the most beautiful in this movie, at least the most beautiful before the ending, because he is the one with the strongest force, there is no scene of being beaten at all, and he is completely invincible.

In a simple sentence, Wu Jing is sweeping in this movie, only he beats people, no one can beat him, so his makeup and image are maintained very well, at most he sweated a little, his face There are no scars at all.

Chen Musheng saw the expressions of the three of them, nodded in satisfaction and said: "Please pay attention, don't ng, because it is too troublesome to reshoot the blasting scene, especially these large-area saccharified glass is really difficult." Make and install!"

He pointed to the prop glass on the upper floor that was very similar to the real glass, and there were still many logistics personnel who were urgently installing it.

In addition to the upstairs, the warehouse hall has also erected a lot of glass partitions, and then arranged and planned office desks, chairs, water dispensers, filing cabinets, safes, etc., because this is the simulated office of the Hong Kong Police Headquarters. environment of the building.

To be honest, such a layout is really too troublesome and too huge. Anyway, as far as someone in the show knows, the transformation of this warehouse alone cost millions of Hong Kong dollars, and then the various layouts and the final explosion scene. Add up, at least 300 million Hong Kong dollars have been spent here.

In other words, if this scene can't be done smoothly in one go, the entire crew will have to spend millions of dollars to re-arrange the scene, and at the same time, it will delay at least one day before filming can start again.

This is simply burning money, is there any?

The scenes set up with millions or even tens of millions of funds can only appear intermittently in the movie for a short period of 10 minutes. This, this really opened someone's eyes.

It was also at this time that he once again firmed up an idea in his heart, that is, never to be a director.

Take a look at the image of the great director Chen Musheng at this time!

He was an elegant-looking middle-aged man who attached great importance to his image, but recently, in order to make better and more perfect movies, he ended up completely forgetting about his image problem.

His face was oily, and he had a lot of red dots, his hair was messy, it looked like it hadn't been washed, and the beard on his chin had become half an inch long, so he didn't have the time or thought to shave.

This is the pressure of being a director, and this is the price of writing + directing + producing.

To say the least, Brother Xiao Sa never thought that being a director was so good and powerful. He also knew that he didn't have that talent, and it was impossible for him to have the ability to manage the entire crew, let alone coordinate and arrange all shooting matters.

"Okay, since everyone is fine, let A Zhi tell you about the specific movement arrangement!"

Chen Musheng wiped his hair backwards, then scratched his neck habitually, not caring that the dirt on his fingers made his neck black, and he left the next thing to the film with some excitement Li Zhongzhi, who is the best action guide in the family-making class.

Speaking of Li Zhongzhi, he can be regarded as an old-fashioned action director. He has been engaged in action guidance since 94, and has cooperated with Wang Jing, Mai Zhaohui, Lin Lingdong, Liu Weiqiang, Chen Musheng and Fang Chenglong.

Among them, he and Chen Musheng have cooperated the most times, such as "New Police Story", "Sanchakou", "Baby Project", etc., are all action directors by him, and he can be regarded as Chen Musheng's golden partner.

Therefore, the members of the crew, including Brother Xiao Sa, are very convinced of him, after all, he is a real veteran! Hollywood blockbusters like "Rush Hour" are all directed by his actions.

"Okay, then I'll tell you how to shoot!"

Li Zhongzhi, who was wearing glasses, came up after hearing the sound. He didn't talk much, probably because he was a martial artist. What he likes most is to directly use action demonstration + explanation, which can quickly make his action design ideas clear. Express it.

"Wait a minute, first of all Tang Xiaosa, you will have a tense chase scene with Tianyangsi played by Wang Xuemei. You are running away in front of you with a bag of US dollars, while Tianyangsi is holding a police pistol. Chase from behind and chase until you reach the laundry room, you hide under the clothes rack that is drying, and when she catches up, you push the clothes rack and knock off the pistol in her hand!"

Li Zhongzhi spoke very slowly, and then made various movements with his hands according to the explanation, while Brother Xiaosa silently memorized it in his heart, with a very focused expression.

"Because your arm is not healed, and the injury has even worsened. At the same time, you are carrying a backpack with banknotes on your body, so you will be very embarrassed. You can only resist and dodge constantly when you are attacked by Wang Xuemei. This... this... this... you listen got it?"

Li Zhongzhi explained very carefully, and his actions were very specific. Finally, he said: "In the end, Wang Xuemei was killed by the bursting steam, and you flew out of the laundry room, and then you were hunted down by Tian Yangzhi."

Speaking of this, he concluded: "That's all for your scenes today. If you finish filming early, you can rest! Is there any problem?"

"No!" Brother Xiaosa replied affirmatively.

It's a joke, I've been 'beaten' recently, and I've already gained experience, isn't such a small role for KS!

"Okay, then you go to touch up your makeup! Next up is Ting Fung and Wu Jing."

Li Zhongzhi gave a satisfied smile, and told someone to get ready first. Of course, Brother Xiao Sa would not be polite, and immediately went to the makeup artist to get busy, and let him explain their action design to Xie Tingfeng and Wu Jing.

……

"Chisa, this paragraph is wrong!"

Chen Musheng sat behind the monitor and did not move, but Li Zhongzhi, who was acting as the action director, yelled, and then he looked at someone who was puzzled and said, "Don't forget, your arm was hit by a bullet and it hasn't healed yet. Yes, there is no strength at all, so in this shot just now, you can only use one hand to rest on the backpack to resist Tianyangsi's stick, instead of suddenly becoming two hands holding the backpack!"

"Sorry, I didn't do it on purpose, this time it will definitely not happen!"

After being told by the action director, Brother Xiaosa immediately recalled his mistakes and immediately apologized.

Because just now, facing Wang Xuemei's 'vicious' slamming stick, he raised his backpack with both hands reflexively, but he forgot that he was playing the role of a "disabled person". ah!

"It's okay, this kind of thing is actually very normal, you are really skilled!"

Seeing someone who immediately realized his mistake, Li Zhongzhi didn't take it too seriously, and even comforted him, then nodded to Chen Musheng, and the latter shouted "Ike God" again and started filming again.

……

"Your arm seems to be seriously injured. This big piece is swollen, can you still pick up vegetables?"

At noon, everyone was eating takeaway, which is the legendary box lunch, even the great director Chen Musheng was no exception.

After all, this is a crew in a hurry, it's really impossible for everyone to go to a restaurant for dinner, it would take a prodigal to come out!

The several leading actors have become good friends at this time because they have been together for a long time, so they just sat and ate together with boxed lunches, and Fang Zuming accidentally discovered that Brother Xiaosa's right arm was bruised and purple, so he quickly I asked worriedly.

"Let me see...it's really swollen! Did you hurt any bones?"

Both Wu Jing and Xie Tingfeng came over, and after seeing it, they were both a little nervous, because Tang Xiaosa's right arm was really swollen very badly at this moment!They are bigger than the left hand.

"Hehe, it's okay, it's just a small injury!"

Although brother Xiaosa was very grateful for their concern and was a little moved in his heart, he didn't show any pain on his face, and said with a bright smile: "Really, let's eat, today's food is not bad, The chicken legs are delicious!"

Seeing his heartless look, Xie Tingfeng pursed his lips, seemed to have thought of something, picked up his chopsticks and inserted the boxed lunch, and finally said: "I know, you must have been hit, last night's I also watched the announcement of the Grammy nominees..."

"Ha ha……"

Brother Xiaosa smiled and slowed down the speed of grilling the rice. He swallowed the food in his mouth in a few mouthfuls, then raised his chopsticks to stop the name of the room group who wanted to speak, and said seriously: "There is no such thing as hitting or not hitting." , Really, who told me that my record was released a little late? It has only been released for a month, and I can get two nominations for Best Newcomer and Best Asian Record. I personally think it is really good.”

After he finished speaking, he was about to continue eating, but he saw Li Minghao running over in a hurry, and said loudly: "Boss, many reporters suddenly came outside the set, and they all want to interview you!"

Brother Xiaosa's eyes flashed and before he could speak, Chen Musheng put down his lunch box and came over, and said with a smile: "Xiaosa, please go and explain briefly, I expected such a thing this morning!" (To be continued. )
