After one and a half months of filming, we finally got to the big battle scene and saw the mighty extras, most of whom were serious soldiers.
Su Ze had to sigh that this was the power of the main theme. As long as the theme was suitable, even the army could be roped in to cooperate.
Looking at Tsui Hark, who habitually wore sunglasses, had half-white hair and was very thin, a man who once stood at the top of the golden age, Su Ze was full of expectations.
Apart from anything else, Tsui Hark is really good at shooting actresses. Those actresses who could only be used as vases in the past seemed to be brought back to life in his films, and they suddenly became alive. This is the case for Brigitte Lin, Maggie Cheung, and Wang Zuxian.
I heard that when filming The Invincible, Tsui Hark fulfilled his promise to Brigitte Lin, and it was a drama tailor-made for her. At first, even Jin Yong and Huang Zhan were firmly opposed to letting her play The Invincible, but Tsui Hark was determined to do it. Yes, I just made a show of killing first and then showing off.
result……
After Qingxia, no one in the East will be undefeated!
There is also Maggie Cheung, who used to play the roles of love-struck girls before meeting Tsui Hark. When she was asked to film the New Dragon Inn, where she played the role of the shopkeeper Jin Xiangyu, Maggie Cheung herself was confused.
In Su Ze's view, what Old Monster Xu was looking for was the demon and coquettishness in Maggie Cheung's heart. There is a saying: Jade sighs in the box, and gold hairpins are buried in the soil.
Wearing simple clothes, with neither breasts nor legs exposed, she is a mysterious female seductress who is both worldly and shrewd and innocent and wild among the guests.
Thinking back to the night when the two got married, Zhou Huaian found a secret passage in Jin Xiangyu, it was really charming and dirty!
Then there is the green snake, be good!
Sister Manyu has completely let herself go.
Then there is Wang Zuxian, with her windblown robes and green silk stockings sultry. With just one look, people are willing to be trapped in her five fingers and be annihilated in ashes. After her, there will be no Nie Xiaoqian in the world.
As a result, all men now have two women in their hearts: a green snake and a white snake.
Both charming and non-sensual, the oriental female beauty depicted by Tsui Hark is like a scroll slowly unfolding, ending abruptly at the brightest place.
This kind of beauty, with a blank expression and respect, never seems to turn the actresses into stiff inflatable dolls, but uses the camera to explore their inner desires and tensions bit by bit.
There are rumors in the world that if you want to get rid of Old Monster Xu, you only need one trick, let him choose his own actress?
Rosamund Kwan and Michelle Reis are both great beauties who rely on their beauty to commit crimes, but under his lens, they have restrained their make-up and powdery look, giving them the purity of a hibiscus.
"Here, can you hit me a few times?" Tsui Hark looked at Su Ze carefully. After this period of time, he was full of expectations for this young man.
"Fight?" Su Ze was stunned for a moment, then understood and didn't waste any time. He opened up his airs and started to fight a set of Bajiquan taught by Zhao Yuncheng.
"Oh, it's not bad." Tsui Hark's eyes lit up and he smiled: "It's quite impressive."
"It's all just showboating." Su Ze told the truth. He often practiced with Zhao Yuncheng when he had nothing to do at Zhongxiang. According to the funny words: He pretends to be so-so when trying to pick up girls, but he really has to take action...
Knocked down in one move!
"You can't say that." Tsui Hark waved his hands and said with a serious face: "Jet Li also had a background in martial arts back then, but he was actually just a showman."
"Cheng Long is simply a veteran of the theater troupe. He has never practiced any serious routines. In the end, he won all over the world."
"If you don't believe me, ask Wu Jing!"
Speaking of which, what else can Su Ze do? You won't really let me act in an action movie, will you?
But this person is someone who always falls out with each other. Even though he seems kind-hearted now, back then he was...
He fell out with John Woo directly after filming A Hero, and the two never interacted with each other until death.
During the filming of The Swordsman, I fell out with veteran Hu Jinquan, and I directly ignored him on the set.
When Wong Fei Hung and Liu Jialiang fell out, they had to find Yuan Baye to save them when they left.
Because he wanted Huang Feihong’s movements to be dazzling and gorgeous. It didn’t matter whether they were reasonable or not, as long as they looked good. How could Liu Jialiang, a veteran, do it?
Later, when he saw the movements designed by Yuan Heping for Jet Li, Liu Jialiang beat his chest and said: A generation of southern masters practiced northern kung fu. If you shoot Huang Feihong like this, I will make my 100,000 Hongquan disciples laugh out loud!
It's a pity that the movie was released, and the audience worshiped the new generation Huang Feihong. What's even more interesting is that at the 11th Academy Awards, Huang Feihong not only won the Best Director Award, but he also won the Best Action Guidance Award?
How embarrassing is Lao Liuqing!
In the second part, Jet Li had a falling out with his agent and company. Wu Siyuan found Tsui Hark and wanted to replace Huang Feihong with Zhao Wenzhuo, but Xu Laoguai didn't even give him the respect of his mentor.
No matter who you look for, I won't shoot him. Only Jet Li can play the role of Huang Feihong, and no one can replace him.
Of course, I never heard of him falling out with anyone again. He even reconciled with his previous friends and shamelessly approached Hu Jinquan for the remake of New Dragon Inn.
When filming Seven Swordsmen Down the Tianshan Mountains, you somehow managed to invite Liu Jialiang to come back as action director?
Finally won the award for Best Action Design.
Even the studio’s 25th anniversary celebration, John Woo also came?
I have to say that this may be Mr. Xu’s personal charm.
Next, Su Ze finally saw what Tsui Hark's style is: a cartoonist who was delayed by his career as a director!
Looking at the lifelike hand-painted shots, he would draw the scene and character state of each scene, and clearly tell the actors what state they need.
The so-called confident means that he draws the bamboo and then proceeds to the next step.
Even the expressions and movements must be done personally. For example, he will lie in the ice and snow to feel whether the movement is appropriate. For example, he will look at the bandage on the actor's head and ask the doctor what kind of encounter is suitable for such a large area of bandage.
After asking clearly, appropriate events will be arranged to achieve the appropriate bandaging effect.
Kong Sheng was already detailed enough before, but now Su Ze silently wrote down another name in the notebook.
Finally understand why many actors who don’t even know how to show off look so chic and elegant in his hands?
The shots are mostly coherent, the cuts do not separate the action narrative, the action scenes as a whole are static and flowing, and the composition is neat. These are the common points of action film masters such as Liu Jialiang, early Yuen Woo-Ping, Sammo Hung, and Cheng Lung.
But Tsui Hark is different. He is a sharp-minded person in terms of editing. Whether it is action design or lens editing, he no longer pursues complete action logic.
Even the switching of two shots creates a completely different picture, which to a certain extent gives the audience room for imagination.
Many times the composition is not neat and tidy, and sometimes only a certain part of the character is included in the painting.
It's a bit like a short video, fast, sharp, and enjoyable for the audience.
Compared with Liu Jialiang and others who have been practicing martial arts since childhood, Tsui Hark is undoubtedly more suitable for normal actors. For example, Tony Leung Ka Fai, even if he does not know how to fight, he can still play Zhou Huai'an deeply in the hearts of the people.
This is the skill of Old Monster Xu. This chapter has been completed!
