Twenty or thirty years ago, it was the golden age of martial arts movies. Chinese martial arts movies were popular all over the world. At that time, martial arts stars were the most famous and made the most money.

Just like American rappers, Korean idol artists, and comedians from Sakura Country... Chinese martial arts actors are also regarded as a kind of upward path, and a large number of newcomers have poured in.

When Wu Zhi from "Key to Destiny" first entered the industry, he often encountered fights.

Even if you want to reason, the other party insists on fighting with you, and you have to accompany you, otherwise you will be said to be bloodless, and your martial arts training will be in vain. In the days to come, you will get a catchy new word.

nickname.

Lin Wu said that he was very bloody and fought frequently. He fought fiercely and fiercely, and he had many friends on the road. After he brought his realistic style to work, even though his fights were just tricks, he often fought for real and punched to the flesh.

, all his attacks are ruthless, different from other martial arts movies where he is elegant and unrestrained and does not get hurt even after being beaten, making the audience grin as if they themselves have been hit. Among the martial arts actors of the same era, his rise is the fastest.

Echelon was once popular.

However, due to the hidden diseases accumulated in his youth and his overly desperate style, after a serious injury at the age of 40, Lin Wu Zhi moved from the front to the backstage and began to work as a martial arts instructor and action director. He rarely had to fight in person.

However, his status has improved, his nickname is majestic and positive, and according to the custom of the capital, he is respectfully called Ye, pronounced softly.

Director Tian invited him to come. First, the fight scenes in "Key to Destiny" are divided into two sets. One set is for the killer to be used as an extra, and the other is for the killer to work. Both the "false" and "realistic" fight scenes are good-looking.

, and at the same time, there must be distinction. There are not many military commanders who are capable of this.

Second, after knowing that Guan Chen has real kung fu, he needs a master who can fight and act to develop it completely.

Lin Wuzhi took over the job.

Before starting the filming, Guan Chen came to the team for training and the first thing he did was to ask him for advice.

Lin Wuzhi did not agree.

The fastest way for a newcomer to gain fame is to do something big, or to rise to the top by stepping on the corpses of his predecessors.

Lin Wuzhi did not want to give away his fame to others for no reason. As he was over forty years old, he had passed the standard of dying young, had no interest in new people and new things, and had passed the period of relying on fists and kicks to maintain his status.

Guan Chen was not upset even after being rejected, and looked for opportunities to propose discussions almost every day.

Lin Wuzhi refused a lot, thinking that Guan Chen would practice, so he refused to cooperate, and found some small provocations to provoke a fight. He had many plans to deal with Guan Chen. But during the training, Guan Chen

He has always been honest, learned his moves without compromising, and has a very upright attitude. He occasionally makes suggestions, but he is also pragmatic and sincerely wants to make the fight scenes more enjoyable.

Lin Wuzhi couldn't grasp Guan Chen's specific thoughts, but he started to pay attention.

He soon discovered that Guan Chen was not a traditional martial artist.

When a martial artist learns boxing, he has to practice and fight. Guan Chen didn't have any training. He asked his apprentice to give him a target and teach him the moves, and he directly practiced the fight one move at a time.

Moreover, Guan Chen has bad hands. In martial arts competitions, the front hand punch is used to judge the distance between the enemy and ourselves. He can control the opponent's head at the moment of punching. It seems that he is "holding" the opponent's head, but in fact he is punching with the back hand.

Correct the position and guide the direction. If you do it well, it will be natural. If you don't do it well, you will deliberately pull the opponent's head.

Guan Chen's front hand punches were often caught off guard and would hit his opponent's eyes. He learned the golden thread eyebrow wiping method of Baguazhang, which is specially designed to destroy people's eyes. It is not the way to compete in the ring at all.

Finally, Chinese martial arts look down on foreign martial arts. Some martial arts actors who do not do well will go to the United States or Europe to make a living, or they will act on the screen for foreigners to duel in movies, so that Chinese Kung Fu loses to boxers.

and cowboys; or act in reality, participate in programs such as [Boxing Style], and perform fake boxing. No matter which way, I feel a little ashamed if I act.

But Guan Chen has no discrimination when practicing martial arts.

There are several types of steps alone, such as jumping steps, butterfly steps, and even steps of Western kendo. Guan Chen actually learned all these things that were almost child's play. Moreover, he did not just learn them in a hurry, but he did use them in actual combat.

, which is quite skillfully integrated with its own fighting system.

It makes it difficult for people to see that they are following, and that they cannot see that they are teachers.

In his eyes, there seems to be no difference between the East and the West. It seems that he is willing to learn any technique that can defeat humanoid creatures.

In ancient times, such people were called Wu Chi.

Lin Wu asked Guan Chen which master he learned martial arts from. Guan Chen said he learned it from Master Cai in Cai's class.

Lin Wu pointed out which Master Cai it was. Master Cai from Cangzhou? From Chancheng?

Guan Chen said he was from Jinmen.

From Jinmen? Lin Wuzhi thought deeply, as if he was stumped. He had never heard of it. He asked what achievements he had or what works he had. Guan Chen replied that he didn't know, and he didn't record it.

Fortunately, Guan Chen also said that half of his martial arts skills came from Master Cai, and half of them came from the old man next door to his house. The old man had no children, and he only had half of his disciples.

Lin Wuzhi didn't find it strange after hearing this. After the martial arts became modernized, the number of people who treasured their broomsticks became less and less, but there was still a special kind. If you couldn't find a disciple, you would rather learn it yourself.

Probably only a pure person like Guan Chen made the old man finally want to accept a disciple and teach him.

To a certain extent, it is quite appropriate to choose Guan Chen as the killer in "Key to Destiny". They are both pure and uncomplicated people.

There is a saying in the film and television industry that 90% of a director's work is casting. If the actors are chosen right, directing will be easy.

Lin Wuzhi had never seen an actor like Guan Chen. After getting along with him for a while, he finally understood Guan Chen's character. At the same time, he also understood that the reason why he chased and beat the old man was not shameless and just seeking fame.

But it’s time to refuse. Guan Chen has strong physical strength, wild moves, ruthless moves, and does not know how to respect the old and care for the young. Fighting with such a person is asking for death.

"Master Lin, let's practice?" Guan Chen said goodbye to all the staff and walked towards the corner of the set.

"It's time to practice." Lin Wuzhi nodded, his eyes like an eagle. The advantage of having experienced adventures when he was young is that his eyes are still sharp as he gets older, his temperament is stable, and his reactions are quick. "The filming will start soon, so hurry up and practice."

, become familiar with the movements.”

Guan Chen corrected his mistake: "When I said practice, I meant..."

Lin Wuzhi picked up the storyboard, fell into deep thought, and pretended to be busy.

But Guan Chen didn't follow his lead at all and insisted on finishing what he had to say, "Master Lin, I have nothing to do now anyway. Let's have a fight?"

Lin Wuzhi put down the manuscript and felt helpless. He felt that there was no need to fight with Guan Chen. Once an actor starts working, in a sense, his body no longer belongs to him alone. Especially since Guan Chen is still the leading actor, if something happens to him,

If it delays the filming progress, the work of hundreds of people will be affected, so there is no need to fight this meaningless fight.

"I'm not a professional. If you really want to fight, how about I find you a martial arts gym after the filming and let active fighters compete with you?" Lin Wuzhi said to Guan Chen.

After hearing this, Guan Chen was very happy and left with satisfaction.

Lin Wuzhi lowered his head to read the manuscript, and this time he really started to take it seriously.

After a while, actors arrived one after another.

Today's scene is the beginning of the movie. The killer appears on the scene and performs a mission. He enters the criminal den as if there is no one in the area and kills people.

There are not many main characters in this scene, but there are many extras.

The other protagonist of the film did not need to be present, but Lin Wu Zhi discovered that he also came to the set.

"Master Lin." Xiang Jun noticed Lin Wuzhi's gaze, so he walked over and said hello.

Lin Wuzhi nodded: "Coming?"

"Come and take a look." Xiang Jun replied casually while looking at the set.

Lin Wuzhi has read the script hundreds of times and knows that Xiang Jun does not have a role in today's scene, but he is not surprised by Xiang Jun's appearance.

I heard that Xiang Jun auditioned for the role of a killer before. Without Guan Chen, he had a high chance of success. Unfortunately, he met Guan Chen who was more suitable for the role and failed to win the role. Finally, he listened to Director Tian's suggestion and changed to a film role.

A corner of medium scrap material.

Xiang Jun's stardom has been smooth sailing, and he is known as a talented actor. Although he was taken over by a newcomer, he still has his own pride. The two protagonists in the movie, one is a killer and the other is a loser. This does not mean that the killer is necessarily better than the loser. The loser.

If he can act well, he will be as heavy as a killer.

A few days ago, when we were filming a scene involving only Guan Chen, Xiang Jun didn't even come over to see it.

But he came today.

Today also happens to be the day when the trailer for "Police Story" is released.

Half of a movie is good filming, and the other half is good operation. In the end, the combination equals a good work. However, most movies, when they reach the operation stage, will complain that the previous ones were not shot well.

The trailer industry is now very mature, with specialized companies responsible for editing and distribution. "Police Story" is still more than three months away from release. The first trailer was originally just to test the waters and show its presence, but looking at the online

The level of discussion has obviously exceeded expectations.

As an industry insider, once a popular actor in the action film field, and now a martial arts instructor of his own, Lin Wuzhi can generally judge from the trailer that the quality of the feature film should be quite good.

Its structure, soundtrack, and rhythm are all decent and worthy of the price. It is not very innovative or special. But it is clever and highlights the villain.

A mysterious young mastermind with eyes full of stories, a principle of not killing civilians, a high IQ and high skills, who plays the game of the world and lurks in the enemy's base camp. He can say that he just took the protagonist's script.

The entire Chinese film industry has not seen such an eye-catching villain in at least five years.

After seeing Guan Chen's performance, Xiang Jun couldn't sit still and came over to see how good it was, which was normal.

At eight o'clock in the evening, it was completely dark.

Shooting night scenes, the day's work has just begun.

Guan Chen and the other actors have already changed their clothes and prepared their looks.

Director Tian also walked out of the room. Without saying a word, everyone went to their respective posts and prepared to start work.

"Come on, let's try walking through it first." Director Tian walked to Maza in front of the surveillance camera and sat down.

The plasma didn't explode, and the props weren't damaged. I didn't turn on the machine this time. I practiced my moves first and became familiar with the movement lines.

However, after rehearsing twice, Guan Chen walked up to Director Tian and said, "Director Tian, ​​I have a mature idea."

Lin Wuzhi's eyelids twitched. Good guy, most people would say that they have immature ideas, but this Guan Chen is not humble.
