Chapter 98 Chinese Kung Fu

Around 2000, Hollywood introduced a large number of talents from Hong Kong films when Hong Kong films were in decline, thus quickly mastering the ability of martial arts action design that Hong Kong filmmakers have accumulated for decades.

A large number of kung fu movies have been born, such as "The Matrix", "Rush Hour" and "Spy Shadows" series.

Coupled with Hollywood's unique computer technology, they created something that suits their own beauty.

The action guide for "Wolf Warrior 2" is Sam Hargreve, an American action guide!

It's quite embarrassing, because China's action guidance cannot design gunfighting actions...

Sam Hargreve's action style is cold, changeable, and fast pace. He directed the action scenes of "Captain America 3", and the evaluation given by North American film critics is "Marvel's best yet."

Director Xu Haofeng once said, "Chinese martial arts films are basically a dead type now."

Yes, Chinese action movies have been dismembered by Hollywood, and their technology has been applied to various types of movies.

However, North American audiences still highly respect Wong Fei-Hong's action scenes because this is the most distinctive thing in Chinese actors and Chinese action movies.

The action scenes in "The Matrix" are very good, especially the original "bullet time" is enough to leave a name for the history of action movies. Unfortunately, Keanu Reeves' body is too stiff and many movements cannot be done at all, or the movements designed by Master Yuan Ba ​​have an indescribable awkwardness to put on foreigners!

Not only do domestic audiences like original domestic action movies, but foreigners also like them!

Of course, there are many action movies in later generations who pursue action design too much and unilaterally ignore the plot of the movie!

The most famous one is "One Man's Martial Arts". To be honest, "One Man's Martial Arts", in terms of action design alone, is definitely the pinnacle of action design in recent years. Look at his behind-the-scenes action design team: Donnie Yen, Dong Wei, Yuan Bing, Luo Lixian, Yan Hua, seems to be half of the Hong Kong movie martial arts director!

Unfortunately, the movie's box office in the mainland has stopped at 120 million yuan, and the investment in this movie is 190 million Hong Kong dollars, which is about 150 million yuan, which is definitely a loss...

Of course, it has a good box office in Southeast Asia and Hong Kong.

In addition to the public image of Donnie Yen himself, the plot is probably too mediocre!

This is like many domestic blockbusters, which simply focuses on the picture effect and ignores the essence of the movie, that is the plot.

When many people talk about "Hero", they will say that the effect of firing thousands of arrows at once is too realistic, or the fighting scenes between Zhang Ziyi and Zhang Manyu are really beautiful, and they rarely talk about a certain character or a certain plot in it, which basically represents the failure of the story and character creation!

The "Huang Feihong" series is not the case. In addition to the action design, it pays more attention to the story core...

...

Jenny had the honor to witness the shooting of many Hollywood street fighting scenes and gun battle scenes with her own eyes.

Very popular, the blasting effect is very realistic.

But it is obviously different from the shooting she has seen now!

On the quaint streets, eight cameras were buried and filmed, and hundreds of people entered the venue at the same time. Of course, only dozens of people were actually involved in the fight, and the rest were a group of people watching the show, that is, the extras.

Moreover, these people are really fighting!

The fist really hits the body!

It hurts to see...

Although Master Huang was hanging on his body, his movements were flowing like a gymnast, rolling up and down in all kinds of ways. The minions holding weapons were almost beaten to the ground one by one!

Is this... Chinese Kung Fu? Oriental Kung Fu martial arts movements?

Jenny couldn't help but exclaim!

"Wow! These people are really not simple! So awesome!"

"Click!"

Paohui was a little unsatisfied.

"The second phone was not photographed clearly just now, please take care to retreat about one meter."

At this time, Li Zhongzhi also walked to the shooting scene, gave a few brief explanations, and then withdrew from the camera.

Chen Snaili held the loudspeaker and said, "Come on, everyone should pay attention! Let's do it again! Start!"

Do it again?

Jenny listened to Chen Farong's translation beside her, but she thought in her heart that this director was so strict...

During the melee, a man wearing a black long gown and a hat on his head looked around, then fisted his hands and shouted: "Cross Fist" in his mouth, and directly beat a minion out...

"It's a rude thing, a little effort, no respect..."

"Ka! Liang Kuan, your expression is too fierce. Pay attention and smile more. You are the funny person in the whole play!"

There is no doubt that it is Zhou Yiwei.

So, the camera just now was done again.

This time, Xu Hui nodded.

"Okay! This period is over, prepare for the next game!"

Paohui nodded.

The shooting of fighting scenes is far from being as simple as the movie presents, especially with more characters, the larger the scene, the more difficult it is to schedule. There is another big problem. Fighting scenes rarely can be shot directly, and they often require shooting bit by bit.

In jargon, it is called collecting shots!

Think about it, this scene is not just Huang Feihong played by Wu Jing. The characters involved include Liang Kuan, Aunt Thirteen, White Lotus Sect, and onlookers...

To be honest, Paohui is already very satisfied with maintaining the current progress. According to his expectations, he estimated that the shooting will be completed by the end of September...

...

"Is this Chinese Kung Fu? It's so amazing!"

Jenny put down the camera in her hand with some emotion, and couldn't help but ask Chen Farong around her: "I have also watched a lot of action movies, and there are many of you, but I rarely see such scenes?"

"…Is Xu Hui a genius? Have you ever seen a director who can make a global hit of more than $200 million at the age of 25?"

Chen Farong was also very proud and praised Paohui directly.

"Huang Feihong" has a box office of 800 million yuan in mainland China, an overseas box office of nearly 100 million US dollars, and a global box office of over 200 million yuan, which is an absolute big-selling level.

When the news was released, there were various noisy arguments on the Internet, and many people said that "the prosperity of kung fu films has arrived" and "the full revival of Chinese action films". Unfortunately, these discussions are too controversial.

Can the success of a movie represent the success of the entire movie genre?

So, "Wolf Warrior 2" won a box office of 5.6 billion yuan, so why are domestic movies still crowded with bad movies?

‘I don’t know if there is a revival of Chinese action movies, I only know that Xu Hui’s movie has entered Hollywood!’

An unknown netizen's words reached the heart of the public...

"I would like to ask, how is Xu Hui's status in your country's film industry?"

Jenny smiled and changed her question.

"…He only made three movies after all, so..."
Chapter completed!
