Chapter 138 Fundamentalism in Action Movies

In fact, the Chinese character is still reserved and modest.

So everyone is not used to hearing other people boasting, even if the person has already gained a lot of fame.

That's why Feng Xiao got the nickname "Small Steel Cannon" just now.

As for people like Chen Xi, his reputation has gradually increased now, but when he said this, everyone still talked about him.

Let's talk... Chen Dapao!

This impression gradually formed in everyone's minds.

But you have to admit that sometimes you really can't lose the attention of bloggers, besides, in fact, Chen Xi just said what he should say today.

but
...After the opening press conference, many media reporters were planning how to promote Chen Xi's big talk.

His words are out-and-out big words.

Chen Dapao's title, as long as there is a chance, it is really possible to appear in the newspapers.

"Director Chen, can you predict the final box office of this movie, can it surpass "Frontier Wind and Cloud"?"

Chen Xi thought for a while and said with a smile: "The global box office should be okay!"

"puff!"

This sentence blurted out, and someone couldn't help but almost sprayed.

This guy is so confident!

Also the global box office!

Indeed, Chinese action films are unique in the world of action films. Chinese action films have always had a huge market in Europe, America, Australia, and Southeast Asia... But Chen Xi actually started to hit these overseas box offices. In the eyes of the reporters... Well, that's blah blah blah.

"Where is the overseas competitiveness of the film? Is it purely action?" The reporters were very keen: "So, instead of making the film a mainland film, you made an overseas co-production method, and it was a co-production between the United States and Xiangjiang. , just to prepare for the global box office?"

Chen Xi had to say that these reporters were smarter than monkeys.

They are really too sharp.

But sometimes, you really can't tell the truth.

At the moment, Chen Xi smiled slightly: "Competitiveness lies in the texture and energy of the film. You will see this in the future. As for the so-called co-production film, I have said it before. This is a commercial secret and I have no comment. Thank you. Everyone!"

After finishing speaking, Chen Xi motioned to the press officer to let everyone turn their attention to the actors and stop pestering themselves.

Fortunately, the other actors, Wu Jing and Liu Jialiang, all had a high degree of attention, so although the reporters were disappointed that they couldn't ask Chen Xi any more questions, at least they made up for it.

So everyone slowly shifted the question to Wu Jing and others.

"Wu Jing, Director Chen has always said that this movie is unique in action and has a breakthrough... Then how do you think it compares to the street fighting in "Slaying the Wolf"?"

The street fighting in "Slaying Wolf" has become the most classic action scene in recent years. No one can deny the classic nature of the fight between Wu Jing and Zhen Zidan in "Slaying Wolf".

So everyone also likes to shoot Wu Jing.

Chen Xi did understand more and more about Wu Jing's character.

His answer now is considered decent, but there is also a feeling of bewilderment.

"Yes! I think that the action in "Raid" is not suitable compared with "Slaying the Wolf", because the two parties did not happen in the same scene, and they cannot be compared in terms of purity... But if If we compare the entire movie as a dimension, the action is only used as a pure sensory stimulation for watching the movie. The action in "Raid" cannot be said to be much better than "Slaying the Wolf", but it is indeed not bad. It is very likely It will be more exciting! That's my answer!"

Wu Jing's answer made Chen Xi secretly nod in her heart.

In fact, in today's press conference, Chen Xi took the route of talking about it. Although there is nothing wrong with saying these things, such as the so-called fundamentalism of action, he will exaggerate it a little bit, which is always a hype point. Then Wu Jing will try her best to achieve a balance, neither flatter nor frivolous.

When I arrived at Liu Jialiang, Liu Jialiang thought for a while and said: "I was invited by Director Chen Xi to direct the action production of "Raid". Think it's going to be the most vicious, hard-hitting action movie in years!"

...The launch conference is over!

Chen Xi patted Wu Jing on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Mr. Wu, you are the better one. You speak calmly and without bias."

Wu Jing shook her head and smiled: "Director Chen, I just hope that I can say what you mean. If it can help the movie, then I will be very happy."

...In fact, it was not as expected by Chen Xi, nor by many reporters today.

After the "Raid" press conference, many entertainment media magazines and newspapers in mainland China appeared about Chen Xi.

"Fundamentalism in Action Movies: How Chinese Action Movies Are Made?""

""Directors born in the [-]s want to rewrite the glorious era of Chinese action films, Chen Xi's "Raid" is in full swing""

""Chen Xi's Wish: I want to make the most shocking action movie""

Most of the media headlines are taken out of context, and they may not really want to plot against you or flatter you. In fact, they just want to attract topics and trick people into clicking to watch.

But after clicking in, many people will find that the matter is by no means as serious as their title. In fact, what they said is very decent, and they are not too exaggerated.

For example Chen Xi.

Many movie fans who have seen these titles, or those who have been looking forward to Chen Xi, will feel a little disgusted, thinking that Chen Xi's words are too clear and exaggerated, or they feel that the media is a bit bluffing.But for those who didn't have much idea about Chen Xi before, or those who have a loyal interest in action movies, they will feel that Chen Xi said very well, and they are full of expectations for "Raid".

Of course, even those who feel that "Raid" is too exaggerated and exaggerated, they want to see what this movie will look like, even if the expectations for action movies are not too high, but for the director of "Frontier" Some expectations are inevitable for the new film.

For a time, the name of "Raid" continued to spread in the world of Chinese movie fans.

"In any case, I think you can calm down. The director who made "Front and Cloud" in the first film will not be too bad in his future films. So, I will continue to pay attention to this "Raid" anyway! There are also Many of my favorite movie stars, these stars, such as Wu Jing, Zou Zhaolong, Shi Yanneng, especially Liu Jialiang, are all real fighters. Wu Jing's street fighting in "Slaying the Wolf" is super classic, even the movie itself No, but at least in terms of action, it should still be possible to achieve what Chen Xi called 'action film fundamentalism'!"

"Director Chen Xi's new movie, I will definitely pay attention to it. His words can actually show his feelings for action movies. I believe he can maintain this feeling and make "Raid" very good..."

... There are many similar voices.

The words fundamentalism in action movies have become Chen Xi's label for "The Raid". At that time, no matter whether it succeeds or fails, everyone will probably use these words to judge.

"The Raid" has also become a movie that everyone is relatively looking forward to recently.

After the opening ceremony, "The Raid" officially started filming!
"The Raid" was not filmed in chronological order in the movie. Of course, in fact, there is no major problem in shooting this film in chronological order, because the entire movie takes place in one large scene, and the scenes that change in the middle are also different. not much.However, in order to save costs, and for everyone to train more intensively and strengthen the scene and action memory, it is still based on the principle of proximity, and all the content of a scene should be shot first.

The first filming scene of the movie was not a direct fist fight, but the corridor shootout was the first to be filmed.

This shot was actually quite difficult to shoot.

Chen Xi's film is not an art film. "Raid" is a purely commercial film. From the very beginning, there must be something that can catch the audience, and it is best to achieve a stunning effect.

This opening section is an amazing start!
In many gunfight movies and action movies, during the shootout, they always hit the thigh, chest, etc... and people can still move after being hit.

Movies are filmed this way to complete the plot, and of course the same is true in actual combat. After all, the target of the head is relatively small. If you want to complete a headshot, the risk is greater: after all, if you don’t hit others, they will counterattack and kill you.As for the chest and abdominal cavity, as long as they are shot, even if they can be saved, they will basically lose their ability to move at that time.

But the opening of "The Raid" is a bloody and thrilling gun battle. Almost all the gun battles in this gun battle are headshots, full of explosions, especially when these are put on the big screen. The shock of action is very strong.

Therefore, the current Chen Xi has spent a lot of effort on the action design of "Raid", and discussed with Liu Jialiang and others many times before discussing some solutions.

"Wait a minute, be careful, and be sure to pay attention to protection."

The scene to be shot now is that the thugs in the building surrounded the point with sniper rifles to fight for help. A policeman just went to the window to look at his companion, and the sniper shot over!

This shot uses the violent conflict between movement and stillness, which makes people frightened.

Because when the man went to the window and looked down, there was no melody, as if he was very calm, just a simple look, the audience's attention would also be on the bottom, paying attention to the screaming policeman.

Who knows, at this moment.

"boom!"

The goggles of the policeman who went to see him suddenly burst, and he was headshot directly, bleeding blood with a single shot!

This kind of feeling, the feeling of shattering the peace suddenly, can make the audience jump, and the deadly feeling of a policeman being directly killed and shot to the head is also like a percussion instrument, directly hitting everyone's heart , this will bring a very strong sense of stimulation.

There are many similar flower jobs in "Raid".
