Chapter 586 Brother Hu's Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms
The "Eighteen Palms of Subduing the Dragon" designed by Wang Xiaohu was laughed at generously, but he didn't mean to be embarrassed at all, because no one knew how many good memories he had carried with this move.

In "Shooting the Condor", whether it is the original novel or a TV series, the Eighteen Palms of the Dragon plays a very important role. He is the signature martial arts of the hero Guo Jing, and it is a very important help for Guo Jing's growth. The show plays an important role in shaping the leading actor Guo Jing.

In his previous life, ever since he saw the foolish boy Guo Jing learn how to fight with others, Wang Xiaohu desperately hoped that Guo Jing could use this move as soon as possible. At that time, the special effects were not very developed. Making such a visual effect already feels awesome.

If you don’t believe me, you can see that after Guo Jing finished this set of moves, the camera made Guo Jing teleport to the "different dimension space" to start performing moves. The so-called different dimension space is a dragon head with its mouth open, and the dragon opens its mouth without biting Guo Jing, it means that the dragon has been surrendered by Guo Jing.

Guo Jing punched in the faucet, and 10 seconds later, as his palms were pushed forward, eighteen "palm prints" who didn't know if they were cat paws, dog paws, or chicken paws flew out from a different dimension and hit on the other side.

As he pushed his palms forward, eighteen unknown "palm prints" of cat paws, dog paws, and chicken paws suddenly flew out from a different dimension and hit the opponent. Slow motion and a specially extended "bang" Bang bang bang", the other party let out a scream, and flew upside down in mid-air. Those with deep internal strength vomited blood and were injured, and those with low internal strength directly belched to the sky.

Even though Huang Rihua's version of Guo Jing always used the never-changing "Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms", Wang Xiaohu's group of children felt that this was already awesome!

So everyone often imitated and practiced, and occasionally held it up together to see whose eighteen dragon subduing palms were handsome
Maybe what you said might be wrong, some little soldiers didn’t die after being hit by the palm, they were still alive and kicking!Wang Xiaohu can tell you responsibly that Guo Jing didn't want to hurt anyone, so most of the middle palms just flew back upside down without any injuries. Guo Jing's image should be more benevolent and righteous, and classics are classics.

"Ahu, I think this movement is very common. You didn't design it seriously." After laughing, Yuan Heping told the truth.

Wang Xiaohu smiled bitterly, and said: "Inner strength, which cannot be seen, must come up with something that everyone can understand. The most difficult design in "Shooting the Condor" is the Dragon Subduing Eighteen Palms and Yiyang Finger. The former is easier to talk about, but the latter is basically a bit impossible to start with, right?"

"Yes, I haven't thought of how to interpret the movement of the Yiyang finger." Yuan Heping grabbed his hair, looking a little bored.

Wang Xiaohu knew that Yuan Heping was currently in a bottleneck state. On the one hand, it was because he first came into contact with martial arts novels and adapted them into TV and movies, which was very different from the one-punch, one-kick real kung fu he practiced before. Boxing, Drunken Stick, Drunken Sword and other things are perfectly designed because they can find templates in reality.

Even the dog-beating stick and toad kung fu in "Shooting the Condor" can find their prototypes through historical materials or the martial arts database of Shaolin Temple. Only the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms and Yiyang Finger have no reference. If Yuan Heping breaks through At this level, his future development in martial arts guidance will be bright.

Wang Xiaohu patted Yuan Heping's shoulder and said with a smile: "Dayan, I can understand your mood at this time, the more you are in this kind of time, the more you should calm down."

While comforting Yuan Heping, Wang Xiaohu recalled the previous versions of the case about the Eighteen Palms of Subduing the Dragon in his mind.

With the development of the TV industry, computer special effects have made an immeasurable contribution to the design of martial arts movements. Destructive power and more are fully upgraded.

Back then, Guo Jing's Eighteen Palms of Subduing the Dragon only knocked one or two people into the air, and what flew out were only chicken feet. Now, when Qiao Feng practiced his kung fu, the sky and the earth changed color, and shimmering balls appeared in the middle, and there were even tearing and tearing. There was a sound of lightning, and after the move was sent out, it also evolved into little golden dragons, and its destructive power was directly increased by N levels, completely comparable to TNT bombs.

The Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms in the 03 edition of "Shooting the Condors" is a clichéd dragon release effect that can no longer be clichéd. I saw a long golden dragon (sometimes a water dragon or a leaf dragon) flying from between Guo Jing's palms. Come out, and then scurry in the air like a snake, turning people on their backs wherever they go...

At that time, Zhang Jizhong had a large group of excellent martial arts instructors such as Zhao Tianba, Guo Jianyong, Lin Feng, Chen Yongge, etc. Any one of them could create the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms that did not rely on special effects. Yucheng, that trash, please come back, what are you doing!
These are the major versions of the Eighteen Palms of Subduing the Dragon in Wang Xiaohu's memory. One version is not as good as the other. "The four don't look like things come out.

It's not that he can't design it, he just feels that if these things are moved to the TV screen, it will easily destroy the perfection of the 83 version of "The Condor Shooting". , but to varying degrees reduce the classics of the 83 edition of "The Condor Shooting".

In Wang Xiaohu's opinion, the martial arts in Jin Yong's novels can easily be misunderstood as magical.

Even if you have seen directors like Tsui Hark, Yuen Heping, and Wu Yusen design such futile martial arts moves?
In the previous life, Yuan Heping was able to reach the world's number one height in the field of martial arts, and he was the leader and unrivaled in the world because he really understood kung fu and had a solid foundation.

No matter Tai Chi, Wing Chun, Hong Quan, Mizong, karate, or Western boxing, he can master it easily, and can suit the role and fully integrate into the environment. "Huang Feihong" series, "Tai Chi Zhang Sanfeng", "Huo Yuanjia" They are all classic cases. In this way, exaggerating and appropriately blurring the movements that have a real source and source, the effect is undoubtedly the most exciting and the easiest to make people feel that "this is kung fu".

And Yuan Heping's strength lies in that even if special effects are used, even if special effects are used on a large scale and the most advanced special effects are used, the movements he designs can still give people the strongest and most solid sense of reality and impact. "Dragon", "The Matrix", "Charlie's Angels", the action design in these films used to fool Westerners, which one is not mysterious and false?But that sense of reality, that visual impact is always real.

This kind of skill, this kind of understanding of the use of special effects cannot be imitated by randomly setting up a few dragons and flashing a few lights.

Wang Xiaohu has been learning and getting closer to Yuan Heping in his previous life. Even if he designed the "levitation" fighting scene in "Mythology", he showed every move under special circumstances.

The environment of a TV series or a movie determines the level of weapons and martial arts used by your character.

You can't let the character use the laser gun in the cold weapon era, can you?That will make the audience feel very nonsense, there will be no sense of tension and excitement, and the characters will have no enemies in it. After the novelty is over, the audience will feel fatigued.

In the same way, it is even more nonsense that golden dragons, water dragons, earth dragons, and even small universe explosions appear in the martial arts novel "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", and it is related to grandma's house. This thing can only appear in those fairy tales and fantasy novels in the previous life In, not in Jin Yong's novels.

In fact, Wang Xiaohu feels that it is not difficult to produce a completely realistic and simple Eighteen Palms of Subduing the Dragon without any computer special effects, and to retain enough audio-visual effects for the audience.

Yuan Heping did it in Zhou Xingchi's bad movie "Wu Zhuangyuan Su Qier", and Donnie Yen did it in "Dragon Tiger Gate". From the design of the tricks to the post-production, it is far less complicated and false than "Let the Long Dragon" go. Wang Xiaohu doesn't believe himself. Reborn, after borrowing countless classics from their predecessors, will rely entirely on special effects to produce "Eighteen Palms of the Dragon".

So what Wang Xiaohu has to do now seems to be very complicated, but it is actually very simple, which is to fundamentally establish an overall development direction before the martial arts in Jin Yong's dramas are not bad!
"If we only explain it from the novel "Shooting the Condors", Yiyang Finger is the unique martial arts handed down by the Dali Duan family, and it is also the special fingering technique of the Southern Emperor Yideng Master. The index finger of the right hand taps the acupoints, the finger can be extended slowly or quickly, when it is slow, it is elegant and elegant, and when it is fast, it is as fast as lightning."

Wang Xiaohu smiled and said to Jin Yong: "If you compare "Dragon and Babu" and "The Legend of Condor Heroes", the former is even more magical, and the one-yang finger becomes the most basic of the six-veined sword. Fingering is not even worth talking about, and when it comes to Wu Santong in "The Legend of Condor Heroes", it is even more trivial, even the power of Yiyang finger is weak to less than three feet. I don't know if my analysis is correct?"

Jin Yong frowned and pondered for a long time, then said with a slight embarrassment: "Xiaohu, I can't remember these things clearly, and I also forgot how I wrote them at that time."

Everyone laughed when they heard the words, and Wang Xiaohu sighed and said, "This is also the most troublesome part of adapting a novel into a TV series."

"Then what should we do?" Yuan Heping asked, Huang Rihua, Weng Meiling and others also gathered around, pricking up their ears to hear how Wang Xiaohu designed these two great magic skills.

"Design close to reality. "Shooting the Condor" is a martial arts novel. The actions we design should also strictly follow the pattern of martial arts novels. The biggest difference between martial arts and fairy tales is that the two have different worldviews. In martial arts novels, what is considered The magical skills of Xiang Jian are the most sloppy physical skills in Xianxia novels, we are all mortals, so we designed them with flesh and blood, which fits the world view of the novel."

Yuan Heping was still at a loss, Wang Xiaohu continued to explain upon seeing this: "You designed the corresponding martial arts movements around the literal meaning of the Eighteen Palms of Subduing the Dragon in the novel, and everything was designed according to reality. Guo Jing, Hong Qigong, Master Yideng is a human being, not a god! And it’s not impossible to interpret internal strength.”

Yuan Heping suddenly said: "Then you said you invited Industrial Light & Magic to do special effects."

Wang Xiaohu shrugged and explained: "Special effects are an auxiliary measure to show internal strength, but we still need to design wonderful martial arts movements."

As the leading actor of "Shooting the Condor", Huang Rihua is eager to know what the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms are, so he asked naively, "Master, what do you think the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms look like?"

"That's right, tell me quickly, I want to know too." Weng Meiling was also very curious, and looked at the expressions of Jin Yong, Yuan Heping and others.

Wang Xiaohu pondered for a while, and then said: "In my opinion: The Eighteen Palms of Subduing the Dragon is a set of boxing techniques that focus on attacking the upper body. For upper body attacks, I hope the audience can see simple elbows, even knees, grappling, etc. Of course, the Shenlong tail swing is a move that specializes in attacking people behind the back. It is one of the few kicks."

"Oh, I probably understand. You want me to design real martial arts moves, and then use special effects to explain the internal strength in the novel." Yuan Heping nodded repeatedly.

"That's right, no matter how amazing the special effects are, they can only be used as an auxiliary function to increase the momentum of the action. If only special effects are used, the lack of real actions can better reflect the profound meaning of martial arts, not to mention the "Shooting the Condor" itself. Whether it is the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms or the One Yang Finger, they are all to set off the chivalrous righteousness of Guo Jing, Hong Qigong, Nan Di and others, and martial arts is the most fundamental."

"Okay, well said!"

Jin Yong clapped his hands and applauded. If the script created by Wang Xiaohu nine years ago accurately positioned the meaning of "Shooting the Condor", then today's general outline of action design to strengthen the interpretation of "The Great Hero" is even more vivid. Interpret what Jin Yong wants to express.

After Yuan Heping listened to it, he suddenly understood. He felt that it was stupid to worry about such things before. At the same time, he also realized something deeper in his heart. But it made him ecstatic.

"How is it? I said it's very simple, right?" Wang Xiaohu spread his hands and said to Yuan Heping.

Yuan Heping smiled, and said embarrassedly: "It is easy for you, but it is difficult for us, but at least I have the most fundamental basis, and the design is much easier."

Wang Xiaohu suddenly remembered something, and said to Jin Yong uncertainly: "Old Dou, you started out as a publisher, you should know a guy named Huang Yulang, right?"

"Why don't you know, Yulang International is still very famous!" Jin Yong said with a smile.
