Chapter 564 "Kung Fu in the World Comes from Shaolin"

In order to capture the whole Shaolin Temple with a long shot, Wang Xiaohu took Li Hanwei and Zhang Yimou, the two main photographers, and Zhang Yuan by his side. He has been holding the repaired Shaolin Temple map for the past few days to arrange the location of the track car.

Looking at the types of cameras marked on the map, Zhang Yimou thought about it and said, "Mr. Wang, there may be some problems if we all use shoulder-mounted cameras."

"Are you afraid that the picture quality is not good?" Wang Xiaohu said with a smile.

"Hmm." Zhang Yimou nodded and said, "The Shaolin Temple is too big, we can't shoot it all at once, and the long shot is too much to test the level of the editor, and some places have to consider the angle and light, so I suggest we still use the shoulder. For example, we can use the aerial rail car to shoot a few more places where we go through the windows and walls and then lift the camera position.”

"Okay!" Wang Xiaohu said, "Just follow your suggestion. It seems that you already have an idea, right?"

Zhang Yimou smiled and said, "Well, I paid attention when you mentioned the long shot, and I have been thinking about how to set it up for the past half month."

"You and Awei will be responsible for arranging the track, and Zhang Yuan will take care of the specific matters. He will take care of it for you." Wang Xiaohu left immediately after making arrangements.

Since the filming of "Shaolin Temple", Zhang Yimou's talent in photography has been brought into full play. He is sometimes better than veterans like Li Hanwei in grasping the shots, so Wang Xiaohu is now very relieved to let the two make arrangements.

Therefore, the newly renovated Shaolin Temple is bright and beautiful, and there are people coming and going. If you regard these people as tourists, you will be wrong.

These people are the staff of the "Shaolin Temple" crew. Under the command of Zhang Yimou and Li Hanwei, they started from the mountain gate to the Temple of Heavenly Kings, the Daxiong Hall, the Hall of Thousand Buddhas, the Bell and Drum Tower, the Abbot's Room, the Zhaitang, the monk's house, the meditation hall, and the practice room. Railcars are being erected in other places.

And Wang Xiaohu rarely has free time to watch martial arts athletes like Yu Hai, Jet Li, and Xiong Xinxin.

When it comes to Shaolin Temple, all Chinese will proudly say "Kungfu in the world comes from Shaolin". Shaolin Kungfu is the most extensive martial arts school, with more than [-] kinds of martial arts routines. Also known as "Martial Arts Zen".

The original version of "Shaolin Temple" made relatively few articles in this regard. Zhang Xinyan didn't know much about martial arts design, and the crew didn't have martial arts guidance, so many movements were designed by the athletes themselves. Zhang Xinyan edited them to create better images. , the athletes are required to choreograph a few more sets of movements, in order to make choices later.

But Wang Xiaohu did not do this. He fully explored the culture of Shaolin Temple on the basis of the athletes' good martial arts skills.

The murals in the Thousand Buddha Hall are very famous, and they are treasures among the murals of Shaolin Temple.There are colorful murals painted on the back of the main hall and on the east and west walls, the most famous ones are "Thirteen Stick Monks Rescuing the King of Tang Dynasty" and "Five Hundred Arhat Pilu Picture". In the middle of the hall, there are also bronze statues of Pilu Buddha and white jade statues of Sakyamuni.

The "Five Hundred Arhat Pilu Picture" actually shows the lifelike practice scenes of Shaolin monks. Wang Xiaohu extracted several symbolic movements from it, and had a two-day and two-night exchange with the host of the Shaolin Temple, and again in Hen Province With the help of the committee, the Shaolin lay disciples who escaped the catastrophe during the Cultural Revolution were invited back, and let them join the work of reappearing Shaolin Kung Fu.

Of course, it doesn't mean that Wang Xiaohu can't design Shaolin Kungfu. What he hopes is that through the participation of everyone, the martial arts in "Shaolin Temple" will be more real and have more historical value.

If you don't study it, you don't know. When these real monks tell the names of boxing techniques and weapons like a few treasures, Wang Xiaohu feels dizzy.

Not to mention anything else, in addition to the familiar Shaolin 72 stunts, Shaolin martial arts is also divided into boxing, stick, spear, knife, sword, etc. Among them, there are differences between southern Shaolin and northern Shaolin in boxing. If you want to be in a movie Tossing out all the things is definitely an arduous task. Not to mention that some boxing techniques have been lost, there are not enough actors to demonstrate these skills.

Therefore, the final boxing techniques presented in front of Wang Xiaohu are Luohan Boxing, Shaolin Five Boxing, Seven Star Boxing, and Fuhu Boxing.

Shaolin 72 stunts include Iron Head Kung Fu, Flying Over the Wall, One Finger Zen, Iron Sand Palm, Praying Mantis Claw, Golden Bell Shade and other familiar things.

Of course, the Shaolin Temple will definitely not tell Wang Xiaohu the exercises. Wang Xiaohu has to arrange everything by himself. Maybe this is a secret for the current Shaolin Temple. In the previous life, he has seen countless Shaolin movie themes and countless "secrets of magic skills" "For Wang Xiaohu, it's too childish, he can make a set of 72 stunts and publish a set of false ones to bluff and deceive.

Wang Xiaohu doesn’t need to worry about the equipment. The Spring and Autumn Broadsword, Three-section Cudgel, Meteor Dart, and Nine-section Whip are all special items for martial arts champions. In addition to the participation of athletes, the real monks of Shaolin Temple also He will participate in the performance appropriately. After all, what Wang Xiaohu is shooting now is to promote the Shaolin Temple culture. The whole country has fully cooperated.

Among the more than 50 athletes, Xiong Xinxin is the most depressed, because what he wants to show in the film is the iron head skill and golden bell cover in Shaolin 72 stunts.And it was still in the middle of the winter when he went into battle shirtless, and was swung by several companions with sticks. Although Wang Xiaohu wanted to protect him at first, he would do something with the props, such as sawing off two-thirds of the stick, so that he could hit Xiong Xinxin. It will be disconnected directly, and Xiong Xinxin will not be injured.

But this kind of lack of heart, if you have to pester the real monks of Shaolin Temple to learn this kind of kung fu, the monks can regard the golden bell jar as the treasure of the temple, how can it be easily spread, so Xiong Xinxin took it seriously and forced Hu Qiangqiang and others exercised their bodies with sticks.

When Wang Xiaohu came to see them, he saw this scene.

"Xiong Xinxin, what kind of stupid are you doing?" Wang Xiaohu frowned.

"Director, didn't you say to be real!" Xiong Xinxin said.

"." Wang Xiaohu rolled his eyes and was really convinced by this guy. He patted Xiong Xinxin on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, I will let those real monks take part in the filming. You can be an apprentice next to you. Anyway, in Shaolin Temple Everyone is not a master, and this kind of miraculous skill cannot be practiced well by ordinary people."

"Then I saw how those real monks are so powerful!"

"They have practiced for more than ten years, okay!" Wang Xiaohu really lost his patience with this careless guy. He had already thought about shooting this kind of scene, so that it should be true, but not too real.

It’s really the golden bell cover and invulnerability hard qigong performed by the monks in Shaolin Temple. It’s not true that the role of Xiong Xinxin in the film is similar to Jue Yuan played by Jet Li. They are both disaster victims who have just come to Shaolin Temple. Get started a month early.

But this is the only plot that Wang Xiaohu has modified for "Shaolin Temple", mainly to highlight Xiong Xinxin's role, and let Xiong Xinxin and Jet Li compare the two roles, showing that one is dull and the other is flexible and changeable.

"If you learn the golden bell jar in one day, then these monks should hang themselves."

"Why?" Xiong Xinxin still didn't understand!
Now everyone in the room laughed, Yu Hai took over the topic and said, "Xiong Xinxin, do you know martial arts right out of the womb?"

Xiong Xinxin shook his head and said, "No, I started practicing martial arts when I was 12 years old. Two years later, I joined the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region Wushu team. It has been six years now."

"That's it." Yu Hai said with a wry smile.

Xiong Xinxin frowned: "But my character still knows the Golden Bell Shade in the end. After watching it, will the audience think that this thing can be learned immediately? What if someone imitates and gets hurt?"

Wang Xiaohu patted his forehead, and his eyebrows were also twisted into Sichuan characters. Obviously, it is not impossible for Xiong Xinxin's seemingly heartless words to happen.

After the screening of "Shaolin Temple" in the previous life, there was a wave of martial arts craze in mainland China.

Martial arts training classes have been opened one after another, and people are flocking to martial arts. It seems that people have become martial arts enthusiasts overnight.There are too many advertisements for martial arts training classes in newspapers and magazines.

Wang Xiaohu remembers that in 89, after watching "Shaolin Temple", several of the little kids in his village signed up for the local martial arts class.
At that time, Wang Xiaohu almost stole money to attend some training classes. Later, he realized that in fact, many of these classes could not learn much, and many "martial arts" were actually designed sparring routines, which looked good but were not very practical.

What's even more outrageous is that Wang Xiaohu's neighbor, a childhood sweetheart named Zhao Juan, mysteriously told Wang Xiaohu one day after watching "Shaolin Temple" that he was going to the Shaolin Temple to learn from a teacher, and then he didn't see her for about half a month, so goodbye When she was there, she was sent back by the police.

Wang Xiaohu still remembers asking her: Did you learn Kung Fu in Shaolin Temple?

The little girl naturally wouldn't say that she never found Shaolin Temple and was almost abducted by traffickers.He said disdainfully: "The Shaolin Temple has changed now. They require monks with at least a junior college degree, and they don't accept female apprentices. I stood at the mountain gate for several days. Finally, an old man with a white beard in the temple was moved by me and accepted me. As an apprentice, after a few days of learning, he told me that you can go down the mountain after learning. So I came back."

"Aren't there all monks with white beards in Shaolin Temple? What do you mean there are Taoists?"
