You promised to make a bad movie, but your box office exceeded 10 billion?

Chapter 169: Fighting, a genre of its own (second update)

After thinking about it in the comment area for a long time, Han Zhe suddenly saw a column for behind-the-scenes content below the selection column.

The first-ranked title is [Records of a meeting, Xihong Film and Television* Helium Flash Studio]

Seeing this, Han Zhe clicked in without hesitation. "My Three" is his favorite animation in the past few years, and Xihong Film and Television is a film and television company he has recently fallen in love with. The two companies are linked together. Of course he wanted to know more information.

However, when Han Zhe clicked in, he discovered that this was actually a nearly one-hour screen recording of a Penguin meeting.

This is too "worthy of the name"!
Han Zhe complained.

"I'm not very satisfied with episode [-]!"

Obviously, this is not just a meeting record, it has been edited. Especially Su You's words at the beginning are full of impact.

He had just finished watching the eighth episode of "I [-]" and almost framed the episode and hung it in his bedroom. Some people even said arrogantly that they were dissatisfied with the eighth episode?

Very good, this sentence successfully aroused his anger!

Not just him, there were countless people on the barrage who had the same idea as him. They wanted to see who dared to be so arrogant.

Then, a person's profile picture appeared on the camera.

"Director Su You?"

As a fan of Xihong's movies and TV shows, of course he recognized Su You at a glance.

[Who is that handsome guy on the screen?Does he know how to make animations? 】

[So crazy, if you have the guts, come take the photo! 】

Of course, with the current popularity of "Wo Three", there are also some viewers who don't know Su You, and they have begun to complain about "Wo Three" on the barrage.

Han Zhe was a little dumbfounded.

This handsome guy seems to know a bit about filming movies and TV series!
"It's not that the musical talents of Hans Zimmer and John Williams represent interstellar war. I think the water drop part would be more suitable to use classical music, such as "Symphony of Destiny"!"

When Su Yu said these words, turned off the soundtrack of "I Three" and played "Destiny".

The passionate piano sound gently awakened the hearts of the audience, and they suddenly realized that the original "I Three" did not look like this, but it was changed to what it is now after Su You made suggestions.

After comparing the two, they discovered that Su You's revised version, the version they saw now, was indeed much better.

As the edited meeting minutes continued to play, when Su Lu talked about the transformation of the water drop special effects, countless viewers immediately resonated. If it were shown according to the effect played in the meeting video at the beginning, I am afraid that this segment would become this Flaws on a perfect episode.

And Su You's improved "water drop" is simply the water drop in their imagination!
There is also the conversation between Zhang Beihai and the fleet commander. It would be a pity if such a classic conversation is missing.

[As expected of the old thief Su You!powerful!too strong! 】

[Su You, the old thief, is awesome and has a broken voice]

[This handsome guy seems to really know something about animation]

[I originally thought that the old thief Su You was just a name at the end of the film, but I didn’t expect that the old thief actually participated in the production. Together, we created this perfect work! 】

[Do you think the old thief’s saying, “You don’t have to consider the financial issue, Xihong Film and Television is not short of money!” is really cool.]

[Thai pants are hot, give the old thief a big brother]

[By the way, what is the old thief doing recently?It's been a few months, why hasn't the new drama started airing yet? 】

[Isn’t there internet access at home upstairs?The old thief is making a movie, it will be released during the Spring Festival]

[Although, it would be nice if the old thief could come up with a few more animations like "Wo San"]

[Old thief: Am I the donkey of the production team? 】

[Hahaha, this is the first time since I went to college that I am looking forward to the Chinese New Year]

[I count the time on my fingers every day, and I have never been so nervous about the college entrance examination...]

"Obviously, it's all your fault. Now it's better. Everyone is praising him, so there's nothing wrong with him."

In the office of Shenyou Bafang in the Helium Flash Studio in the Magic City, a woman with long white-blue gradient hair, artistically dressed, and fair skin said to Shenyou Bafang with some dissatisfaction.

"These were originally instructed by Director Su. I just released the truth. What's wrong with it?"

Wandering around said with a smile, "And if it weren't for Director Su, we would still be living in the basement now, and "I [-]" might not have a chance to be broadcast."

He still takes Su You's kindness to heart very much. Su You is not just a boss to him. This is also the purpose of editing this meeting record and putting it in the highlight column of "I Three", in order to improve the quality of the meeting. Su You's popularity.

He knew that Su You was filming a movie recently, and he vaguely heard that Xihong Film and Television was also going to compete with Penguin, so this was the least he could do.

"Okay, Yuxi, come and have dinner with us later to celebrate the completion of "Wo [-]" and the popularity of "Wo [-]"!"

After realizing that the woman still looked a little dissatisfied, Shen Wan Fang put down the mouse, came to his girlfriend, and said with a smile.

……

Hengdian Film and Television City.

After one and a half months of filming, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is almost coming to an end.

At this time, all the dramas have been filmed. There are not many extra scenes in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon". Most of them are scenes opposite the main supporting actors, and Su You hired all acting talents.

Not to mention the four starring actors, the acting skills of Zou Runfa, Yang Ziqiong, and Hao Ge are unquestionable. Even the youngest Zhang Ziyi is full of spirituality and her performance is much better than Su You expected. Even, It can be said that she is now Yu Jiaolong!

As for the supporting roles, whether it is Teacher Zheng Peipei who plays the blue-eyed fox, or Teacher Lang Xiong who plays Lord Belle, or even the actor who plays the head catcher Cai Jiu, they are all carefully selected by Su You. The pay is not low, but the effect is immediate.

For many scenes, Su You only needs to tell them once, and these teachers can perfectly understand what he means, and even surprise him occasionally.With actors like this, how could the filming speed be so slow?
Now there are only 5 important fight scenes left, and it is time to test the results of more than two months of martial arts training between Brother Hao and Zhang Ziyi.

The eighth master Yuan Heping, who has a very tight schedule, has already arrived on the set and is designing the action for these fight scenes.

"Ba Ye, I hope to design moves based on the character's personality. For example, Yu Jiaolong is young and impulsive, and does not have so many constraints in her heart, so her movements are as elegant and agile as possible, while Yu Xiulian is a traditional female character bound by ethics. Therefore, it is best for her to be calm in her movements, while Li Mubai has the style of a master, simple and deadly moves..."

"Also, in the chase scene between Yu Xiulian and Yu Jiaolong in the capital, I hope to show the two people's qinggong through overhead shots and follow-up shots, so that the audience can watch the qinggong immersively and follow the protagonist. Flying over the roof and walking over the wall may not be the real Qing Gong, but it must be the Qing Gong in our imagination..."

Pictures already flashed through Su You's mind.

As a Chinese, he certainly understands that those who have grown up watching martial arts have a martial arts dream in their minds. As the most mysterious and desirable light skill in martial arts, it is naturally Bai Yueguang in the hearts of many people.

A thief with Qinggong skills who can fly over walls and steal a sword in a deep house in the middle of the night. He wants to show the audience what the thief looks like in the story. This is not only his martial arts dream, but also the rivers and lakes dream that every Chinese has had.

He just wants to use this scene to bring this dream into reality. Although it is not a real reality, it must be exciting enough to be seen in movies and TV shows!
Yuan Heping looked at the chattering young man and frowned.

With his status in the film and television industry, many famous directors would not criticize his action design. The reason why he was willing to come was naturally because Li Mingyue gave too much, but he originally just wanted to complete the task.

But now it seems that Director Su is a troublemaker!

Use overhead shots for Qinggong?Follow?
It's a beautiful thought, and the effect of shooting like this will certainly be very good.

But do you know how difficult it is?
In general, the light kung fu in martial arts movies is fleeting, and only one of the three processes of getting up, flying, and falling is used, and the whole process is never shown. The light kung fu is regarded as a short-lived visual spectacle, which avoids the audience because of its weirdness. For fake reactions, it is taboo to follow with a long lens.

Moreover, the upward light function makes use of the sky. A sudden and simple background can best express the lightness of the movement.

Now you want to challenge the tradition, instead of shooting from above, shoot from above?
Of course, everyone is happy if the film is successful, but once it is not filmed well, it will not drop from 10 points to 8 points, but from 10 points to 0 points, or even a negative score. He does not want his reputation to be ruined by this movie.

Just when he was about to refuse, Su You didn't notice his emotions and was completely immersed in the picture in his mind. He continued, "Yu Jiaolong's movements are light and airy, while Yu Xiulian is clumsy and powerful, so we have to design Yu Jiaolong's movements." The delicate dragon flies over the eaves and walks along the wall, and is light and elegant, while Yu Xiulian often falls from the house and runs for a while. There is a visual contrast between light and heavy, so it looks good."

"Furthermore, the action characteristics of the two characters in this section can be consistent with the portrayal of them later in the film as a young and unworldly character, a person who has experienced many years of experience and dares to love and hate."

"Of course there are advantages to shooting from above, but when shooting from above, we can show our ancient Chinese architecture and use complex backgrounds to obtain special visual effects!"

Interesting!

Yuan Heping, who was about to refuse, suddenly closed his mouth. He imagined the scenes painted by Su You in his mind.

One is flying over the wall, light and elegant, and the other is running wildly on the ground, heavy and powerful. As an experienced martial artist, he has already started to have some very good pictures in his mind.

Especially when Su Yuan thought that he could use overhead shots to represent ancient Chinese architecture and use complex backgrounds to achieve special visual effects, it was like a thunderbolt blasting into his mind.

Yes, everyone used to shoot Qinggong with upward shots. If you use overhead shots, let’s not talk about the effect. At least, it will be a style of its own!
Yuan Heping, who originally just wanted to complete the task as a monk and hit the clock, now suddenly wants to challenge himself.

Those who are able to achieve success in a certain line of work must have passion in their hearts. When he discovers that a door to a new world opens in front of him, no one can resist the temptation to push the door open.

"Next, let me talk about the effect I want to achieve in this first scene. The specific action design will be left to Master Ba!"

Seeing that Yuan Heping was noncommittal, Su You obviously acquiesced to his proposal just now.

As he said, after all, he is not a professional martial arts instructor and does not know much about martial arts. Even if he has systematic information, in order to achieve perfect results in the end, he still needs the assistance of professionals.

"In this first fight scene, Yu Jiaolong steals the Qingming Sword. Yu Xiulian happens to catch him, and the two confront each other for the first time."

"I designed it like this. Yu Jiaolong encountered Yu Xiulian when he was escaping. The two of them fought for the first time, mainly through testing. Yu Xiulian has been in the world for a long time. After a few moves, he guessed the inheritance of Yu Jiaolong's skills, but Yu Jiaolong I secretly learned Wudang's mental skills, and when I felt guilty, I turned around and ran away."

Su You said and walked a few steps, as if changing the venue, "At this time, I will take a close-up shot of the footsteps to highlight the lightness of Yu Jiaolong. Yu Xiulian had no choice but to catch up. At this time, I will take the first overhead shot of Qinggong just mentioned. Duan, cornices!”

"After a short chase, Yu Xiulian found that her dexterity skills were slightly inferior and could not catch up with Yu Jiaolong on the roof, so she landed on the ground and wanted to pursue her from the ground with her familiarity with the terrain and rich experience."

"At this time, the camera zooms out, the space opens up, Yu Xiulian passes through the hall and the jade dragon flies up and down the wall, dividing the picture into upper and lower layers, highlighting the sense of hierarchy."

"The characteristics of Qinggong can also be better demonstrated at this time. For example, Yu Jiaolong floats up lightly when going to the room, while Yu Xiulian needs to tap a few times on the wall every time she goes to the room..."

"Well, of course, this is just my idea. I still need Master Ba's guidance on how to implement it."

As if thinking of Yuan Heping next to him, Su You quickly added another sentence.

Yuan Heping fell into silence, somewhat unable to speak due to the talent of the young man next to him. He felt that this young man was shining brightly now.

Just from the narration just now, he seemed to have felt a chase full of the atmosphere of the world, and hearing it made his blood boil. He was now sure that this fight scene would be wonderful when filmed. He was so lucky!
Little did he know that this was just the beginning.

"After another chase, Yu Xiulian finally relied on her rich experience to seize the flaw and used a sandbag to force Yu Jiaolong down from the air. The two fought again."

"This time the competition was about fists and kicks. After all, Yu Jiaolong is only self-taught. In terms of fighting experience, he cannot compare with Yu Xiulian. He soon fell into a disadvantage. Yu Jiaolong turned around and wanted to leave again, but was beaten by Yu Xiulian again and again. Stop it."

Thinking of this, Su You couldn't help but smile. Every time he thought of this scene, he found it very interesting.

"For example, Yu Jiaolong stood up and was about to jump to the roof, but Yu Xiulian grabbed her belt and pulled her back to the ground. Another example is that she was stepped on her feet and pulled back to the ground, held down her shoulders and pulled back to the ground, grabbed her chest and pulled back to the ground, etc... Full It shows Yu Xiulian's suppression of Yu Jiaolong in terms of boxing and kicking skills, making Yu Jiaolong like a bird trying to fly out of its cage, repeatedly hitting the wall."

"However, Yu Xiulian only wanted to regain the sword and did not use ruthless tactics. She focused on suppressing her. In the end, Yu Jiaolong seized the opportunity and ran away."

　It is recommended to watch this video together to get a full sense of experience.Although the fight scenes in Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon are somewhat different from traditional fight scenes, and may be more of a gentle dance style, I have always thought that the fight scenes in it are very exciting and delicate, and they will still be exciting no matter how many times you watch them!Nowadays, even the fighting scenes in TV series and movies are not worthy of carrying his shoes.Friendly reminder, this section starts at 15:37 in the main film of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon". The drums are beating and the blood is boiling!
　　After reading everyone’s comments, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon is indeed controversial.

　　But for me, the first time I watched Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, I was attracted by the exciting fighting scenes in it, so I learned more about it. I think people actually have a lot of misunderstandings about it.

　　It is undeniable that in order to win at the Western box office, it made many compromises and looked less Eastern.

　　But it is full of oriental elements, and the director's sincerity can be seen.At least he is more sincere than the current directors.

　　Moreover, when it was released in North America, it was in Mandarin. On this point, if you want to say that it is to please Westerners, I think it is open to question.

　　If you are interested, you might as well go and see it again, maybe you will have different feelings.
