571. Chapter 571 The 571st first-class lineup

It seems that Stallone not only did not "inadvertently hurt" Li Xiaole, but instead suffered a little loss...

Wagner, who once served as Stallone's agent, has already lost his mind. You know, in the long history of action and drama, he is almost the one who makes his opponent miserable. Why does Li Xiaole's situation turn completely the opposite?

Stallone, who was hailed as a professional boxer by the media, was actually subdued by a thin director, which made Wagner and Tom Cruise feel unbelievable...

If this matter is exposed to the media, it may become a big news... After all, although Stallone is no longer in the glory, in the minds of ordinary Americans, he is still the invincible "Rocky"... Just like Bruce Lee is an eternal image symbol in the eyes of everyone. Among American movie fans, there were various "action star practical ability rankings" among countless people. Stallone is always the first one, and who would have thought that this legendary figure would be subdued by a Chinese director...

While Wagner was shocked, Stallone was also mixed with feelings at this moment. He pouted and looked at Li Xiaole with a very complicated expression and nodded:

"Your movements are indeed...it's really good, the design is very beautiful..."

With such a pair of actions with Li Xiaole, he felt that the stars of his action seemed to be in vain. He suddenly felt that the guys who once said that he could be a professional boxer were just flattering him. Perhaps if he was younger, he might not lose to this Chinese director... But this guy's movements were too rapid... The high-speed action frequency made him unable to keep up with the rhythm at all, and at this moment, he couldn't help but feel a sense of desolation as a hero stranger.

More importantly, Li Xiaole's idea of ​​designing action is unprecedented in his past. There are roughly three types of action movie design genres in the world.

The first one is to guide Yuan Heping's surrealism with the martial arts of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon". The characters' actions are light and sharp, completely surpassing the laws of physics. This style was created by the weird director Xu Ke.

Although this style is exquisite, there are two major problems. First, it is the feeling of flying in the sky and hiding the earth, which is not suitable for the character setting in ordinary movies. Secondly, only a few Hong Kong people such as Yuan Heping, Xu Ke and others can do it. The limitations are too great, so it is generally only used in Chinese martial arts movies or science fiction movies.

The second type is the straightforward fighting in movies. The so-called "original fighting" style. This performance method requires the least skill and is also commonly used in American action movies. You punch me and I have no aesthetic sense at all. It mainly emphasizes power. Old action stars like Schwarzenegger and Bruce Willy who have no fighting foundation all like to use this one, but the disadvantages of this method are also very obvious, giving the audience a feeling that it is too rigid. After "The Matrix" became popular all over the world, it was almost eliminated.

The action design of real mainstream movies is almost the third type, that is, "real art fighting".

The founder of this school of action design is the famous kung fu superstar "Li Xiaole". It is completely in line with fighting theory and mechanics, and the movements are cool and beautiful, giving people a strong visual impact. The leading actor needs to receive professional fighting training and have a physical foundation.

Stallone himself is this faction, but he has never seen Li Xiaole's extremely gorgeous mixed martial arts technique used in movies. You should know that action design is an extremely complicated thing. Superior fighters do not understand the camera and do not know how to play well. Film practitioners usually do not understand fighting. Even if they understand, it is rare to have a fighting technique like Stallone who is proficient in boxing.

Therefore, it is difficult to make a big breakthrough in action design over the years. Most of them inherit the routines of the past. However, this young director who looks weak seems to be unable to understand more than ten fighting skills, and can also integrate them. He can easily pick it up with a set of gorgeous movements... Just like he started fighting from his mother's womb, it is probably difficult to have this level. Could it be that there is really a genius in this world who can completely artistically transform real fighting movements by watching movies and TV shows?

In fact, Stallone didn't know that Li Xiaole was not as amazing as he thought. The action he arranged was a classic fight between Donnie Yen and Zou Zhaolong in the Hong Kong movie "Fuse" that will be released next year.

Although the movie "Fuse" is not outstanding in the plot and is far inferior to "Ip Man", it is a pioneering work in action design.

For Zou Zhaolong, who is one of the action designs, everyone will probably only remember the unforgivable Chang Wei in "Nine-rank Sesame Official", but this actor, who is a martial arts stand-in, is one of the pioneers of the famous "mixed martial arts design" in the circle.

After filming this movie with him, Donnie Yen officially formed his action style. Then he became the top action star in "Ip Man" in 2008. "Fuse" is the pioneering work of "Mixed Martial Arts Fighting Design". Li Xiaole himself once served as a martial arts substitute in this movie, playing against Donnie Yen and Zou Zhaolong, so he remembered all the details of the action choreography.

This set of "mixed martial arts design" is epoch-making even in the Asian film industry with top action design, and it is natural to open the eyes of Americans like Stallone.

So Li Xiaole did not think he was so awesome, but just patted his clothes calmly and said to Stallone:

"When you were filming "The Expendables", you should design it according to this action, don't worry ~ Obadai Stein doesn't need such a large amount of action." The tone was completely like a boss.

What does it mean? I got an investment myself? Stallone couldn't react at once.

"Let's go ahead. I think there is room for improvement in this set of actions. I'm afraid I don't have time in the future, so don't let my thinking break. You see if this is OK, I'll add more ground skills." Li Xiaole pulled Stallone excitedly and said. He hasn't done this action for a long time. He has been a good master of actors. Today, he feels quite satisfied with the opponents of masters and can't stop.

Stallone suddenly understood that Li Xiaole agreed to cooperate with him this time. A smile finally appeared on his stiff face. He went up to gesture with Li Xiaole with enthusiasm and continued to design the complete action in this movie.

Seeing the two men twisting each other like children, with extremely happy and excited faces on their faces, Wagner suddenly felt a little envious...

After being in this circle for a long time, she has seen fewer and fewer people who can truly enjoy the process of making movies. In the Hollywood world, everyone is used to going for the results, either for the awards or for the box office... Everyone is gritting their teeth to make movies, and they are mentally carrying huge pain.

But Li Xiaole and Stallone are different. They are both old-school filmmakers, and they all have a distant feeling in their hearts. For men like them, the process of making movies is like children getting their favorite toys. No matter how hard or difficult it is, they can enjoy it... enjoy it extremely...

"Let's go... Tommy." Wagner pulled Tom Cruise's arm and signaled him to go out. It seemed that these two movie madmen were designing this action all night in this office today.

"Wagner... Did Li just say that Obadai Stan asked Stallone to play..." Tom Cruise said helplessly as he walked out of the door.

"Yes." Wagner suddenly laughed. She realized that the result was not a happy ending. Tom Cruise was the victim... He was probably going to be ravaged by the legendary superstar Stallone again...

"Don't worry, Tommy, this time there will be no more situations in "Yihai Xiongfeng"." Wagner looked at Stallone in the glass wall.

Unlike the director Robert Reiner, who was tortured by Jack Nicholson in "The Legend of the Sea" and left a shadow in his heart after the filming, Li Xiaole has completely subdued Stallone. It is not only a director's conquest of the actors, but also a man who uses the most direct means to completely convince the other party...

"I hope so..." Tom Cruise sighed, feeling a little uneasy, always feeling that Jack Nicholson's shadow was still lingering in his heart...

After confirming that Sylvester Stallone played the villain, in the next few days, Li Xiaole continued to ask Wagner to contact the actors in "Iron Man", hoping to keep all the outstanding actors in the original version as much as possible. With Wagner's matchmaking, he finally confirmed the list of all the actors in the entire "Iron Man" in the fastest event.

The heroic character Iron Man Tony Stark – Tom Cruise;

The heroine Pepper – British actress Gwyneth Paltrow;

Obadai Stan – Sylvester Stallone;

Nick Fury, director of SHIELD, - black movie star Samuel Jackson;

S.E.L.D. Agent Phil Colson – Clark Greg;

The guest female reporter Li Xiaole made the heroine Christine Stewart, the now popular "Vampire Diary".
