Kung Fu movies originated in Hong Kong, and they are also a unique film type that Hong Kong has contributed to the world film industry. So far, the only Chinese movies that can really enter the international market are Hong Kong kung fu movies, and this is an important part of the behind-the-scenes work.
Part---Inseparable from martial arts instruction.
In fact, martial arts director is not an industry position that comes with movies. Martial arts director first appeared in the late 1960s. Then Bruce Lee came out and five classic kung fu movies became a sensation around the world, making the word "kung fu" officially appear in the English dictionary.
, is loved by teenagers in many European and American countries, and
Martial arts instruction also received much attention, and by the 1980s, several major action martial arts groups had been formed. Among them, Jackie Chan's Chengjia Class, Yuan Woo-Ping's Yuan Family Class, Sammo Hung's Hung Family Class and Liu Jialiang's Liu Family Class were the most famous.
Cheng Xiaodong, Yuen Kui, Tang Jili, Yuan Bin, Dong Wei and others hold up the other half of Hong Kong Kung Fu movies.
Martial arts director is also called action director or martial arts designer. Action director is equivalent to the "choreographer" in martial arts films and action films. Because his profession is highly professional and independent, he is the soul of the kung fu film to realize the director's intention.
.Currently, among the world’s martial arts masters, the majority of those with the highest achievements are Chinese (especially Hong Kong people).
In terms of martial arts schools in Hong Kong, southern martial arts such as Hong Quan and Wing Chun are popular. In addition, most of the martial arts instructors in Hong Kong kung fu movies in the 1960s and 1970s practiced southern martial arts, and the movements they designed were mainly southern style.
This situation continued until the early 1980s.
The popularity of the classic film "Shaolin Temple" starring local martial arts athletes Jet Li, Yu Chenghui, etc. broke the situation that all Hong Kong kung fu films used "Southern boxing". At the same time, martial arts instructors with Northern Kung Fu background represented by Yuan Heping and Cheng Xiaodong
has also surfaced.
Since the martial arts director can be called an action director, the importance in a film crew can be imagined. Especially in an action film, the martial arts director is the soul of it. His status is important in costumes, photography, and art.
, editing and other divisions of labor, the only one who can be on an equal footing with the director is called "director".
A successful martial arts director is not as simple as just designing the martial arts movements and action scenes of his actors on the set. His main responsibility is to assist the director and cinematographer to design the overall plan for the entire film's martial arts scenes, and develop the plot according to the script.
, different characters, work out detailed and thoughtful
Rehearsal outline. Plan the martial arts practice and fighting structure of each scene, as well as the determination of characters, selection of weapons, arrangement of moves, etc., one by one, and strive to take care of each scene before and after, to avoid focusing on one and losing sight of the other, and deviating from the plot and similarities.
.Then, they grasp the overall situation, determine the number of players for each session, and train first and then practice.
Feng Yifeng never imagined that Li Tiansheng would actually let him serve as the deputy martial arts director on the crew of "Falcon". Although "Falcon" is a police film, the number of action scenes is far different from that of martial arts films, and according to the
Li Tiansheng said that this time, including Feng Yifeng, there were three people in total, and
Feng Yifeng only played an assisting and auxiliary role in it, but this already made Feng Yifeng very excited. After all, if the actions he designed can be on the TV screen and make the audience enjoy watching, recognition is enough, not to mention that at his age,
There is absolutely no one who can become a martial arts instructor.
Although he has not received the script of "Falcon" yet, for Feng Yifeng, who has watched "Falcon", the TV series in which Andy Lau was the first male protagonist, in his previous life, it is no longer important. All he thinks about now is how to get there
Adapt to this new position as soon as possible and reach a tacit understanding of cooperation with the other two martial arts instructors as soon as possible.
Feng Yifeng's reinstatement, or actually promotion, is undoubtedly a great joy for Weng Meiling, who is still receiving basic training in the company. Regardless of Wang Tianlin and Feng Yifeng's obstruction, she personally came to the wine cellar to collect several bottles of wine collected by Feng Yifeng and
She took out the whiskey and even a few cans of caviar produced in the Soviet Union to entertain the guests, which made Feng Yifeng see it.
It's so heartbreaking. These were purchased from the Soviet Union by some "Blackwater" employees through connections when they were on a mission in the Soviet Union. After returning to the United States, Dade sent them to him from the United States. Each can is worth more than 3,000 US dollars.
, the beluga caviar treasure with the "Pearl of the Caspian Sea", Feng Yifeng himself didn't even taste it, but Weng Meiling generously took it out to the guests.
Seeing the mouth-watering food and wine, Huang Jing and Wang Jing started fighting for each other regardless of their status. Each one grabbed a bottle of whiskey and a jar of caviar and held them in their arms, fearing that others would snatch them away.
It seemed like it was gone. The other one took it
A bottle of white wine, under the murderous eyes of his father Wang Tianlin, he put down the two cans of caviar he picked up. Feng Yifeng has always respected Huang? The teacher, and the wine in the wine cellar has always been
Let him enjoy it. As for Wang Jing, he is basically speechless. It is basically impossible to reason with someone as thick-skinned as a city wall. Now that everything has been taken out, he will not be so stingy.
Order something.
Chinese people like to talk and chat at the dinner table. Food and wine are a catalyst to make people's relationships more harmonious. During this period, after detailed conversations and understanding with Feng Yifeng, Li Tiansheng's perception of Feng Yifeng was greatly changed.
As a producer of a TV series, the producers are most concerned about and pay attention to which actors and their behind-the-scenes team are selected. For a TV series, the script is first prepared, and then the producer looks at the personality characteristics and appearance characteristics of the actors in the TV series.
You choose your favorite actors. But a behind-the-scenes team that works well together can
It is also what the producers and directors are most concerned about. This time, Li Xiaohe, his wife, and Wang Tianlin, who are not senior executives of the same team, actually jointly installed Feng Yifeng into the crew. While Li Tiansheng was dissatisfied, he was also very curious about this person. Only
But this is the wish of the top management. As a producer, what objection can he make?
After having a meeting with the cast and crew, starring Andy Lau, Chen Min'er, and Ip Tak-han, Li Tiansheng complained inadvertently, saying that he had not seen the new martial arts instructor Feng Yifeng yet, and he had already seen it from the crew list.
When Andy Lau heard Feng Yifeng's name, he took the initiative to invite him, saying that not only did he know him, but he was also a good friend, and he could find him and introduce him to Li Tiansheng.
As it happened, Wang Tianlin, who was also the producer, also knew that hastily placing people in an unfamiliar crew would definitely arouse the dissatisfaction of the producer. In order to ease the future relationship between Li Tiansheng and Feng Yifeng, he also came to Li Tiansheng and said that he would
Introduce Feng Yifeng to
He knew each other. As they came and went, more and more people came. Andy Lau attracted Tony Leung, and Wang Tianlin attracted Li Tiansheng. After Wang Jing found out, he also followed him, and happened to see him at the door of the company who was about to leave.
Huang?, a group of people just got together.
After chatting with Feng Yifeng at the dinner table, Li Tiansheng realized that this young man was not the kind of playboy who wanted to gild the crew and then climb up. For every position on the crew and every staff position, Feng Yifeng was actually able to do it.
Answered everything clearly, without any unfamiliarity at all
In the answer, Li Tiansheng also learned that Feng Yifeng not only held the lowest position behind the scenes as a scene recorder, but also learned various jobs in many film crews, including photography, makeup, lighting, editing, props, etc. Although these
Work cannot be accomplished overnight, but it is not difficult for Feng Yifeng.
As the deputy martial arts instructor this time, Li Tiansheng was still very confident that he could do a good job after listening to Feng Yifeng introduce himself. After all, he has been studying kung fu for more than ten years and has studied in more than a dozen film crews, large and small, and Wang Tianlin Gao
It is impossible for a person who has enough
He is the kind of person who has high vision but low power. Not to mention that with the help of two other senior military commanders, Li Tiansheng is no longer afraid that Feng Yifeng is the kind of person who doesn't know how to pretend to understand and relies on high-level connections to make random decisions. This kind of worry has long been
Just disappear.
"Master! Master! The pager in your room keeps ringing. Do you want to check it out?" A servant hurriedly walked into the dining room and said to Feng Yifeng, who was chatting happily with Andy Lau, Wang Jing and others.
"Oh! I understand." He waved the servant away and Feng Yifeng continued chatting with Andy Lau and the others, not taking the matter to heart.
"A Feng, now I finally know why you don't pay attention to Tang Zhenye and Zhuang Jing. Even Li Xiao and his wife came out to speak to you. Who else dares to look down on you? It made me worried for a while.
I can't help the crew." Tony Leung's dull expression changed a lot today. Not only did he talk more, he actually told some appropriate jokes to amuse everyone.
"It's not that I don't take them to heart, it's just that there's no need to bother. I have no grudges against them in the past, and I have no grudges recently. They have always been entangled in this, and they are eyeing me. I have no ill intentions towards them at all.
, there is no threat, but Tang Zhenye has always been unkind to me." Feng Yifeng was also helpless.
It makes me feel bored to think about why I got entangled with Tang Zhenye and Zhuang Jing and caused so many things. "Although I am not the kind of person who likes trouble, I have never been afraid of trouble. I can ignore what happened before."
It has happened before, and it has been wiped out like chalk, but there will be a next time, and I will not be polite."
When Tony Leung heard this, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. He was really afraid that Feng Yifeng would be angry because of the frame-up by Tang Zhenye and Zhuang Jing. After returning to the company this time, he would find ways to take revenge, which would definitely affect the filming of "The Prodigal Son"
, this not only had an impact on the crew, but also on Tony Leung himself. This was the most important role he got in the art training class, and he didn't want to mess it up because of it.
"Wei Zai, don't worry! Ah Feng is not a petty person. Although Tang Zhenye is not so authentic in doing this, I think Ah Feng will have a lot of people and will not care about it." Andy Lau also helped. This is not the case.
Because he was trying to excuse Tang Zhenye, he also didn't want Feng Yifeng and Tang Zhenye, a young man, to continue to have bad relations, otherwise it would end up making things difficult for the higher-ups, and no one would benefit.
"Okay! Don't say anything to me. I told you to forget it this time. I'll bring you their lost watches and necklaces later. I'll ask you, Wei Zai, to help me return them to them, and also give them a warning."
, don’t do these things again, it won’t be so easy next time. I’m not that easy to bully, and I’m not someone they can easily bully.”
The servant who just now ran in again and said to Feng Yifeng: "Master, your pager hasn't stopped ringing from just now to now. Maybe there is something urgent."
"Yes! Maybe it's really urgent. You'd better go and have a look. It won't take long to restore the machine." Andy Lau pushed Feng Yifeng and said...
