Chapter 103 Who are you?
Yuan Heping understood what Chen Qi meant and went to find Li Lianjie. The two worked together for a few days and finally got him the Tai Chi he wanted.
Then, Yuan Heping did two things:
One is to teach how to hang a wire. A serious wire needs to use imported special thin steel wire. Where can the Beijing Film Studio have such a thing? It would be good if you can find the steel wire. Paint it with black paint. Pay attention when taking pictures. Just don''t wear it too obviously.
The second one is to put white powder on the actors.
Anyone who has watched Hong Kong movies knows that when you hit someone with a punch, white smoke will pop out, coupled with the banging sound and exciting movements, it is full of impact. What is a sense of impact?
It''s not empty, it''s very solid, and it''s very crispy.
Many similar little skills were accumulated by Hong Kong martial arts practitioners through trial and error. Everyone followed Chen Qi''s instructions and learned while practicing.
Now it is May, Chen Qi has fulfilled his promise to Zhang Xinyan, and "Tai Chi" is officially launched!
After a few simple fight scenes to get used to it, we immediately started filming Tower Breaking.
Yuan Heping was quite stressed. It was his first time to take on such a big job. He had to show seven styles in seven fights, and the last one was a two-handed sword! He had never seen a two-handed sword before and had been immersed in thinking about it all day.
…
This morning.
After setting up the interior of the studio, Chen Qi came to take a look around in advance and said, "It''s pretty good. It looks decent."
"Hey, this shaman mask is very good. What''s your idea?"
"Really? I also had this idea when I had an idea."
Li Wenhua smiled, looked around, and waved: "Qingli, come on!"
"This must be the first time you meet. This is the senior props master in the factory, Zhao Qingli, who is in the same creative group as me."
"Oh, hello, hello! Please give me some advice!"
Chen Qi stretched out his hand with a smile as usual. Zhao Qingli looked at him, suddenly rolled his eyes, shook his head and walked away, muttering: "It''s really a new era, anyone can do this."
Li Wenhua was embarrassed and whispered: "He is just like this, uh, not very likable."
"Is he this kind to everyone?"
"It was fine when I was young, but then my wife ran away with someone else, and he was never assigned a room, and his salary couldn''t be raised, so it became like this. Anyone dared to scold him when his temper got worse, even the factory director."
Ouch!
Chen Qi was not sympathetic at all.
The seven masters will shoot Xiong Xinxin first today.
Chen Qi gave Xiong Xinxin a green robe, a wig and a bamboo hat, and a large mole between her eyebrows.
"The first two games must be fought quickly, otherwise the rhythm will be slowed down. This North Korean stick has no martial ethics, no greetings, and attacks when he comes up. His kicks are fast and fierce, but Yang Yuqian withstood these three axes and easily killed Ya.
When he lost, he carried out a sneak attack, and was beaten again. He lost both his shoes, his armor was thrown off, and he was extremely embarrassed..."
"Okay, I understand!"
Yuan Heping was amused. He seemed to have a big prejudice against Korean stickmen, ah, and Korean ronin?
But the good thing about him is that he doesn''t ask unnecessary questions.
Then, he taught Li Lianlian and Xiong Xinxin a routine. The so-called fighting scene means that it is choreographed in advance, the actors remember the moves, and when the camera opens, they just follow the routine.
"Xiao Xin, how are you? Are you nervous?" Chen Qi asked.
"Brother Qi, can you please stop calling me Xiaoxin?"
"Then call you Little Bear?"
"Let''s call you Xiaoxin!"
18-year-old Xiong Xinxin was dejected. Who asked her parents to name herself such a name?
"Let me tell you, you are the first to appear in the Seven Heroes Tower, and you are also the first to perform. You must work hard. It doesn''t matter if you can''t remember the movements. We will go through it a few more times and we will shoot it when we have practiced it."
"Don''t worry, I understand!"
Xiong Xinxin nodded vigorously, and her facial muscles were so tense that they twitched. She kept encouraging herself in her heart: You can do it, you can do it, you are here to represent Guangxi, and you are the only Guangxi person in the whole group. You can''t embarrass your hometown! !
He is from Liuzhou, the place where snail noodles are made.
"Ready!"
"Let''s try it out first, 321, let''s start!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Lianjie and Xiong Xinxin started fighting, and Li Wenhua shouted: "Stop, stop, stop! I tell you to slow down, you are so fast, the camera can''t catch it!"
"Sorry director!"
"Come again!"
"Stop, you made the wrong move just now!" Yuan Heping also shouted.
"Come again!"
After several trial shots, they finally mastered the tricks for a scene. There was no problem with their technique, it was all a matter of mentality.
"Okay, we''re officially filming!"
"start!"
Xiong Xinxin''s eyes widened, she ran a few steps, jumped up, and kicked out in the air. Li Lianjie reached out to block it. As soon as Xiong Xinxin landed, she followed up with a roundhouse kick, then another roundhouse kick, and then a sweeping kick. Another tornado kick...
Crisp, sharp and fierce.
This five-kick sequence was choreographed by Yuan Heping after confirming that he could do it.
"good!"
“It’s done beautifully!”
Li Wenhua and Yuan Heping clapped their hands together, and Chen Qi also gave a thumbs up: "Well done Xiaoxin!"
The onlookers Ge Chunyan, Wang Qun and others were also very excited. The atmosphere of the crew created by Chen Qi was very contagious. He was both an opponent and a partner. Xiong Xinxin rubbed the back of his head and laughed.
Then we filmed a few more scenes, and then we got to the Wia scene.
Li Lianjie would slap him, and he would fly backwards three meters away, and to fly very high, he had to use Wire.
Yuan Heping found several young people in the props team and gave them many instructions: "If he hits him with one palm, you immediately pull him back so that he is in the air... If you want to pull him up here, it doesn''t matter if he is a little more or less!" "
"I know, I know!"
"Do you really understand?"
"Although my apprentices are not clever, they are not stupid. They are just pulling the rope." Zhao Qingli said from the side and encouraged his apprentices: "Pull well, don''t be embarrassed!"
"Let''s try it first!"
Why does martial arts in Hong Kong need to be organized into classes? Because the filming scene is a team work, it requires martial arts to design, stand-in, and draw wire and pull wire. Everyone cooperates with each other and naturally forms a class.
Yuan Heping did not bring a martial artist with him this time and had to rely on the employees of Beijing Film Studio.
Li Wenhua was also very worried, as he had never done anything like this before. Xiong Xinxin put on the clothes for hanging wires, and put on the costume outside. She only felt that her shoulders, waist, and crotch were severely strangled, but she comforted the director: "It''s okay, I''ll live again." "Second time."
"Attention!"
"Pull a little first, 3, 2, 1, let''s start!"
I saw Xiong Xinxin get up and then fall to the ground.
"Not bad, not bad!"
"Do it again, a little bigger this time!"
After trying two or three times, Yuan Heping saw that it was OK and signaled to start filming.
"321, start!"
Xiong Xinxin was highly concentrated and remembered Yuan Heping''s words. When she heard the shouting started, she immediately jumped back with all her strength and left the rest to Ravia''s brothers.
He did the same thing, pointed his toes to the ground, jumped back hard, and flew into the air. He still remembered to act like he was being knocked away, but suddenly he realized something was wrong!
Why are you so close to the ground? !
From the perspective of others: Xiong Xinxin flew up at first, but it was only about two meters high, and then she fell straight down like a kite with a broken string, as if she suddenly lost her strength.
"Fuck!"
Chen Qi reacted the fastest and ran forward.
"Mom!"
Li Wenhua was so frightened that he lost his soul. When he saw Xiong Xinxin falling and lying there motionless, he hurried over. The rest of the people were even more confused. The Yuan brothers, Yu Chenghui and others all rushed forward to grab them, and some went to the factory health center to call a doctor.
"Don''t move, don''t move, don''t even touch him!"
Chen Qi opened his arms to protect Xiong Xinxin and shouted: "Don''t be so crowded, spread out!"
"Where''s the doctor? Have you found a doctor?"
"Someone''s gone!"
"Xiong Xinxin? Xiong Xinxin? Can you hear me?"
Xiong Xinxin lay on the ground, protecting her head with both hands, showing a state of self-protection, but she closed her eyes and remained motionless. After a while, she slowly opened her eyes, "How annoying are you!"
"I was beaten to death!"
I didn''t understand the first sentence. Chen Qi just took it as a compliment and asked quickly: "How are you? Where does it hurt? Do you feel any fractures?"
"My whole body hurts, but I can still hold on."
"Don''t speak yet!"
Yu Hai and Yu Chenghui squeezed over. They were coaches and experienced in bruises. They took a cursory look and said, "It''s better to send it to the hospital for a check-up!"
"No, I''ll just take a break!"
"Stop talking nonsense, just go if you are told!"
After a while, the doctor from the health center came and suggested going to the hospital, so Xiong Xinxin had to be carried away.
It was a bad start, and the previously cheerful atmosphere suddenly fell to the bottom. Li Wenhua turned around and scolded the prop crew members of Lavia, saying: "What do you do for food? You can''t even pull a rope!"
"I didn''t mean it, I didn''t hold it back for a moment!"
"This brother''s life is in your hands, why don''t you hold him back? Please be more serious!" Yuan Heping also said.
"That''s right, how can you be responsible if it falls like this?"
"What are you doing?"
Zhao Qingli was unhappy and jumped out: "It''s almost done. They haven''t done it before. How could they know it''s so heavy?"
"This is not a question of whether you know it or not. It is related to the safety of others. You have to hold it back even if you don''t have the strength!"
"How can I pull when I have no strength?"
Zhao Qingli speaks authentic Beijing movies. He wears cloth shoes with his heels on. He just pulls them up without lifting them. Li Wenhua was extremely angry, but there was nothing he could do. He was an old employee.
"We will pull him later, we are strong!" Yu Chenghui suddenly said.
"Yes, we can pull it!" Yu Hai also said.
"That''s good, it saves us trouble and avoids trouble." Zhao Qingli hummed.
"What did you say?"
Chen Qi suddenly turned around.
"What did I say?"
Zhao Qingli raised his eyebrows and glared. He was already unhappy with Chen Qi, but now he felt even more tempted to seize the opportunity: "I''ve wanted to talk to you for a long time. Who do you think you are when a young boy is making noise in the factory?
Others dare not speak, but I dare!
The old factory director is protecting you, so what? I am also a veteran employee. If seniors criticize you, you have to suffer! "
“…”
Chen Qi looked at him for a while, as if to identify whether this person was mentally ill, then waved his hand and said: "Ji Chunhua, hold him down!"
"good!"
Ji Chunhua had already suppressed his anger, so he strode up to him and pressed him to the ground in twos and twos like grabbing a chicken. Li Wenhua wanted to go up and break up the fight, but Sun Jiankui calmly stopped him.
"Fuck!"
"You dare to trick me? I''ll report you, I''ll put up big-character posters on you! I''ll make it impossible for you to live in peace!"
Zhao Qingli struggled desperately. Chen Qi was in a terrible mood because Xiong Xinxin was injured, but there was still an idiot provoking him. He walked over and squatted down:
"You reported me? Who are you?"
