Chapter 103 Qimen Weapons
One of the criteria to measure the success of a martial arts action film is to see whether the martial arts action in this film is exciting, so when the martial arts action design of this film is perfect, it means that more than half of the workload has been completed.

In the past few days, Wang Xiaohu, Yuan Heping, Yuan Biao, Yuan Hua and others have been busy designing martial arts movements in the abandoned factory. Don't be tough anymore, just give up after giving people a coherent finish.

In our free time, we all sit together to discuss the script, ponder over the script and ponder over our acting skills. We are all newcomers here. If you are not skilled in acting, you have to hone it frequently. Zhao Yazhi will come over from time to time these two days to study with everyone. In the script, every time Wang Xiaohu saw her working hard, he felt a little distressed, so he told her not to work so hard.

Zhao Yazhi always smiled and said that she could persevere. After all, everyone is working hard. If the progress of the shooting is delayed because of her own reasons, she always feels uneasy in her heart.

It is worth mentioning that Zhou Xingchi, despite his small size, Wang Xiaohu was surprised by the enthusiasm and seriousness he showed. Before that, Wang Xiaohu had told him many times: "Xingzi, your role is very important, you need to eat more The script fully expresses the eagerness to learn kung fu."

Perhaps it was after Wang Xiaohu's devilish provocation that Zhou Xingchi was in awe of him from the bottom of his heart, so he recited the script even more desperately. In fact, he didn't have many lines, just a few scenes with Yuen Biao, but he was very nervous. Seriously and seriously reciting the few pitiful lines, I cherish this rare opportunity very much.

"Ah Hu, do you think you are exploiting child labor?" Yuen Biao couldn't bear to look at Stephen Chow hiding in the corner of the factory reading the script obediently.

"Hehe, the child should be like this, but you!" Wang Xiaohu sighed and said, "If you show [-]% of the seriousness and seriousness of Xingzi, you won't even forget the script."

Yuen Biao was ridiculed, and he scratched his hair in embarrassment and said, "It's not as bad as you said. It's all because you made the dialogue so long and let me look in the mirror to find my feelings. Every time I look down at the script, I forget the expression. Look up in the mirror and forget about the script."

"Hehe, Ah Biao, you're still accusing me. How about this? I think Yuan Hua seems to like Ah Bang's role very much. Besides, he's handsome too. You can change it."

"No, definitely not!" Yuen Biao said with a chuckle, "Ah Hu, don't be angry, I'll go and recite the script right now."

After Yuen Biao finished speaking, he picked up the script and ran quickly to the corner of the factory to recite the script, and his expression really became serious.

"Hey, this guy." Wang Xiaohu smiled wryly and shook his head, then picked up the script and gnawed at his role. We are also newcomers, and we also need to figure out our acting skills.

In the evening, Zhang Yuan rushed to the factory in sweat and brought the props requested by Wang Xiaohu. He put the props box on the ground and reported to Wang Xiaohu without wiping off his sweat: "The chain and ax props you want have been brought. If you choose four styles, you can see if it meets the requirements first, and if you are not satisfied, I will find someone to order."

Wang Xiaohu put down the script and took the chain axes handed over by Zhang Yuan. In all fairness, these four axes are really well made, shiny silver and very sharp. If you don't look carefully, you really can't tell the difference between real and fake. "The effect is good, but I don't know if the chain is strong or not."

After Wang Xiaohu finished speaking, he came to the open space with a chain ax in his hand, and played according to the movements he had rehearsed earlier, and saw patches of silver light surrounding him.

After the Hong Kong martial arts film "The One-Armed Sword", many directors seem to have entered a dead end, that is, each film has to design a strange-shaped weapon, and then design actions around the style of this weapon. Any weapon can become a big selling point of the film, such as the iron chain knife in Wang Yu's hand, and the nunchaku in Bruce Lee's hand. These can add highlights to the film and indirectly attract the audience's attention.

"It's so handsome!" Zhou Xingchi was attracted by the movement here, and looked at Wang Xiaohu, who was playing with a chain and axe, with a fiery look in his eyes, and he wished that the person who could not perform in his little mind was himself.

"Hey, do you want me to fight like this? I can't do it." Yuan Renxiang, who played the role of the ax gang boss and the seventh, curled his lips and said enviously.

Yuan Heping said at the side: "Aren, what are you worried about? Didn't the script say that this weapon has limited lethality in a narrow factory building, not to mention that you just danced a few times at the camera. What really surprised the audience was that the chain ax was in Tangshan. Only in the hand can it show its lethality."

"Yeah, that's right, but Ah Hu is really aggressive!" Yuan Renxiang nodded and said.

Yuan Heping smiled and patted his younger brother on the shoulder and said, "Needless to say, Ah Hu is the number one martial arts instructor in Hong Kong, if he doesn't have some real kung fu, he might not be able to convince the public."

While the two brothers were talking, Wang Xiaohu had already retracted the chain axe. Just now, he was testing the connection of the chain axe. Unexpectedly, he got excited and did a few difficult moves, which made him very addicted. "Brother Ren, come and try your hand."

Yuan Renxiang took the ax and danced a few times in the arena. Although he basically completed the movements according to the rehearsal, he was still not as smooth and imposing as Wang Xiaohu's movements. He couldn't help but shook his head dejectedly and said, "I can't play with Ah Hu."

"Brother Ren, you played pretty well just now. You usually practice a few more times, but you should pay attention when you are actually shooting, so as not to accidentally hurt yourself." Wang Xiaohu encouraged.

This is Wang Xiaohu's first self-written, directed and acted work, so he was very demanding. He didn't announce the opening ceremony until everyone was able to master the movements proficiently and express the lines in line with the script.

You must know that filming nowadays is based on the design and action of the filming. If you are an old partner, you can reduce the running-in time. If the actors are not familiar with the filming, the filming process must be long. When everyone finally gets familiar with it, this film It's basically finished, so unless the actors have excellent acting skills and skills, the martial arts movements that are filmed are slightly unsatisfactory.

It is definitely the first time in the Hong Kong film industry to concentrate all the actors on action training before filming. Yuan Heping initially expressed his ignorance, but after a few days, he gradually realized the real beauty of rehearsing before the start of the film: first of all, it took a few days between the actors. They are already very familiar with each other's running-in, and they know each other's roles and martial arts styles well. Moreover, rehearsals seem to be a waste of time and money, but when the filming starts, these sufficient preparations can show amazing efficiency.

——It’s almost ready, let’s start.
