Chapter 55: Precise as a Machine
The bosses obviously noticed these two confused classmates and tried to use Mandarin as much as possible when communicating.
This made Qi Lin feel a lot more comfortable. Once he saw that Qi Lin could understand, Tony suddenly felt like he had been abandoned!
We agreed to be scumbag students together, why are you secretly working hard!
"Brother Xiao Qi, I have watched your performance in "Fang Shiyu" before. The movements are really beautiful. Have you learned it professionally?"
Mr. Ren asked curiously. Even though Qi Lin was quite popular in mainland China, few people knew about him in Xiangjiang.
Similarly, many artists who are very popular in Hong Kong are not well known in mainland China.
After hearing Mr. Ren's question, Wu Zhanlang on the side spoke before Qi Lin could answer.
"This junior brother of mine has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and he has real abilities!"
Mr. Ren was interested when he heard this and asked with a smile: "What kind of kung fu are brothers Xiao Qi good at?"
"Well, I'm better at boxing and kicking, but I'm barely proficient in Baji and Tai Chi."
Mr. Ren became interested when he heard this. He picked up his glass and said with a smile: "You may think I am so old, but I have also studied Tai Chi. When I am not filming, I go to the park to practice Tai Chi. I have the opportunity to communicate more."
When Qi Lin saw this, he also held up his wine glass and said, "I'm sure."
Of course, the content in Qilin's wine glass is not wine, but just water.
Since knowing that Qi Lin can't drink, Wang Xiaohua will tell them before every dinner that my artist is allergic to alcohol and cannot drink.
It can be said that there is no other manager in the entire circle who cares about artists as caringly as Wang Xiaohua!
Principal Gu was a bit taciturn and kept eating. He just smiled when others spoke.
Most of the time at the dinner table was spent with Director Wu Zhanlang and Zheng Rui talking, Mr. Ren echoed, and Tony was confused.
The dinner lasted for more than an hour, and everyone got to know each other, which was a good start for future cooperation.
Director Zheng Rui then personally escorted them out of the hotel. As for Qi Lin, it was convenient because he lived here.
...
Time soon came to the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, and the movie officially started shooting!
Before the filming officially started, director Zheng Rui led everyone to worship God and heaven with a serious expression!
The older the Xiangjiang director is, the more in awe he is of this set!
Under the influence of the director, none of the actors dared to smile playfully when they were offering incense.
After putting on makeup, the actors officially started filming.
After the filming started, the crew was divided into two groups. One group was led by the assistant director to shoot the drama of Principal Gu and Mr. Ren.
The other group was led by Director Zheng himself and was responsible for filming Wu Zhanlang and Tony's martial arts scenes, and Qi Lin was naturally among them.
But what Qi Lin didn't expect was that the action scene would be so intense on the first day!
And the intensity is super high, not at all the same as when filming "Fang Shiyu"!
Hong Tai explained the movements while putting on protective gear for several people.
You must wear protective gear when shooting action scenes, otherwise Iron Man will not be able to bear the punches every day!
Everyone listened attentively, but the main recipients of Hong Tai's explanation were Tony and Wu Zhanlang.
He has worked with Qi Lin, so he naturally knows how exaggerated Qi Lin's talent is.
No matter what the action is, no matter how complicated it is.
He can copy it for you just by looking at it once. It’s so scary!
After Hong Tai finished explaining, everyone started to trade moves to find out their feelings.
Only when everyone feels that it's almost done will the filming officially begin.
Needless to say, these three people, Wu Zhanlang, are tough guys!
Tony has been learning Muay Thai since he was ten years old and has excellent kung fu! No matter how you look at it, Qi Lin should be the one who suffers the most.
But when the three of them started taking action, the surrounding staff were all dumbfounded!
Because it can be seen at a glance that it is Qi Lin who is suppressing the two of them and fighting!
This was the first time for director Zheng Rui to see Qi Lin filming a beating scene in front of him, and he was extremely shocked!
There were some moves that originally required Wia to complete, but Qi Lin was stunned and did it with his bare hands!
This even made Director Zheng feel dazed for a moment, as if he had returned to the era of the Dragon and Tiger martial arts masters in Xiangjiang!
If you do a life-threatening action, then I will do an even more life-threatening action! The battle is about whose action is difficult and whose action is ruthless!
Instead of being like now, you have to go to the hospital quickly if you scratch your finger.
Outsiders were shocked, and the two people in the battle circle were even more so!
Because anyone who has filmed action scenes knows that as long as you film action films, there will be no chance of injury.
After all, actors are not robots, so there will definitely be certain errors in their movements.
This time the punch stopped on the tip of your nose. The next time it may be due to reasons of footwork, distance, etc., the punch will hit your nose or even your eyes.
Especially in this running-in stage, although everyone will put in some effort, the speed is not slow!
And because they are not familiar with each other, accidents are more likely to happen.
But the two people were surprised to find that Qi Lin's movements were the same as those taught by Hong Tai before!
They can think it's a coincidence once, or twice.
But after three or four times, both of them understood that this was definitely not a coincidence, but their strength!
Absolute accuracy!
Both of them can see it, why can't director Zheng Rui see it?
This made him feel like he had found a treasure from the inside out! No wonder Fang Qiong recommended it so much before. As long as they are shooting action movies, who doesn't like this kind of actor who is 100% accurate?
If all actors had this ability, wouldn’t the designed actions be completed in one go? How much time and pay would be saved!
But Zheng Rui himself also understands that that is absolutely impossible. Even meeting someone like Qi Lin is already a blessing!
With Qi Lin's 100% accuracy, Wu Zhanlang and Tony quickly became familiar with the movements and started trying to shoot!
The actual filming was different from the previous rehearsals, because this time they couldn't hold back their strength, otherwise they wouldn't be able to achieve the kind of realism with punches that hit the flesh.
When the three of them actually fought, Wu Zhanlang and the two discovered that Qi Lin had been holding back his strength just now!
Action movies rarely feature long shots. In fact, long shots are rarely used in movies because long shots test the skills of actors and directors.
According to unauthoritative statistics, a 90-minute movie will use about 700 to 800 shots, and it will be edited in less than ten seconds, so one shot does not take long.
Of course, the lens won't be that short when actually shooting.
As for their current fighting moves, the martial arts instructors will design them to last thirty or forty seconds. This has two advantages. The first is that the moves are easier to remember and less likely to make mistakes.
The second is that it is more consistent when playing, making it easier to edit later.
Of course, if the quality of the actors is too high and no mistakes can be made, long shots will still look more enjoyable!
Chapter completed!
