The person who played the role of the charterer was Yuan Qiu's senior brother Yuan Hua. At this time, he even bent over with laughter.
This person is not a simple person. His status in Xiangjiang martial arts is not much worse than that of Chen Long and Hong Dabao. However, his fame is mostly reflected in martial arts instruction, and he is even known as a gold medal martial arts instructor.
But in terms of his career as an actor, he is well-known as a bit player. He has been a bit player all his life. However, because of the birth of "Kung Fu", he realized when he first received the script that he might become an instant hit. .
Therefore, Yuan Hua, who has this kind of mentality, naturally has a good impression of Liu Qingshan.
"I heard that people who are close to you call you Shanzi. I will call you that from now on. I have watched both videos on the Internet. In this regard, you have to be impartial and help our action team design some A classic action that’s both beautiful and practical!”
He himself is a gold medal martial arts instructor. He is very famous and popular among martial arts practitioners on both sides of the Taiwan Strait. The key is that he has decades of martial arts training experience. Even without Liu Qingshan, he can still design the same martial arts as the previous version of "Kung Fu". It is a classic that can be passed down to the world.
Now that he has said this, it must be out of the original intention of a friendly relationship. How could Liu Qingshan not feel the sincerity of this person.
"Brother Hua, you can beat me. I heard that in terms of experience in martial arts instruction, you are ranked in the top five in the entire Xiangjiang. Even in Brother Chen Long's movies, you are also often invited to be the instructor. So. So. Say, as for your request just now, I dare not agree to it, but it is natural for us to discuss it together!"
Yuanhua laughed loudly: "Your modesty is ineffective. Xiangjiang action movies are indeed second to none in the world, but that was more than ten years ago. Otherwise, our movies would not have been languishing for more than ten years. Completely. The era of copying martial arts routines is over. Combining it with more modern fighting techniques in the world is the right way. Alas, Hong Kong’s unique dragon and tiger martial arts, which once cultivated the star fighting industry, are gradually being abandoned by the times. This will never change if this does not change. There is no possibility of rising again!”
The second half of his sentence was a little sad, but fortunately Zhou Xingchi stepped forward to save the atmosphere.
"Shanzi, Brother Hua is right. The underdeveloped film shooting and post-production technology in the past made people irreplaceable. Now our "Kung Fu" is opening up a new era of animated films. This is something that even Hollywood has not done. To perfection. What do you think, are you confident that we can complete this first time together?"
The human kindness and friendliness of the "Kung Fu" crew made Liu Qingshan feel an unprecedented sense of comfort.
Moreover, he agreed very much with Zhou Xingchi's definition of the film, and his mood immediately became high.
"It goes without saying. We are just opening up a day for Chinese martial arts that is completely different from the previous kung fu movies. I also don't want to see the last generation of fighters who have gone through all the difficulties, but they can't defeat reality and time. Looking back, there is no one behind them, only The forward inertia and the passing martial arts.”
His words were not casual. Chi Mu, the hero of Xiangjiang Daxing, made the audience lament that there is no successor to hardcore martial arts.
What is more realistic is that in the past ten years, more and more martial arts practitioners have moved to the mainland for development. What they can get is only a fixed income of six to seven thousand a month. With no access to the future, how many months can they earn depends on it. There is no insurance coverage for how long the crew will be filming.
Nowadays, most of the movie shooting costs are spent on the stars, and the income of the dragon and tiger martial arts masters has become less impressive. The daily salary is less than 1,000 yuan, but around 2,000 yuan more. The era of having a job every day has passed, and it is incomparable with the prosperous age of Hong Kong movies.
With the technological breakthroughs in the film industry, it has become useless to be a star, let alone martial arts. You have to be a stand-in or a sidekick. No matter how good you are in acting, you will never get ahead.
After all, it’s past time that one fight ten can make the audience climax, the demand for martial arts instructors has correspondingly decreased, and the chances of promotion have become slim.
Besides, there is a sea of leeks that can be harvested from the backs of existing stars, so why give you a star?
Handsome Zhang Jin did not become the next Zhen Zijian, and the resources of the younger generation of the Xiang family did not allow him to debut as a star in the C position.
Extreme action martial arts is done, and in the end the protagonists are still on the screen. Hong Dabao, Chen Long and others' carp leaping over the dragon gate is an unattainable dream for today's dragon and tiger martial arts masters.
Everyone present had heard and witnessed all these changes, so they felt quite sympathetic to Liu Qingshan's words.
How to change the tragic situation of martial arts?
Undoubtedly, it has become a top priority to develop another new genre of Kung Fu movies that is in line with the trend of the times.
And Liu Qingshan is currently participating in it. He has previously produced the real-life, fist-pumping "Slaying the Wolf", because he will also appear in "The Commander-in-Chief" and "The Fuse" that are currently in preparation.
Later, there was "Kung Fu", a special effects kung fu movie that combined high technology. It not only had a plot, martial arts, and ideological sentiments, but also used magical sound effects, and the movie's special effects could withstand the scrutiny of time.
Of course, the more important thing is Zhou Xingchi's unique nonsensical acting skills and his dialogue style that is so classic that it has been passed down to the world.
Otherwise, how could Zhou Xingchi, who has made countless films, regard it as a treasure the night he received the script during the rest of his life when he was thinking about quitting art?
The good crew environment made Liu Qingshan, like everyone else, much more motivated to participate.
Before his arrival, Zhou Xingchi and his team had only tried countless special effects shooting techniques. After all, this type of film was shot for the first time for a domestic film.
Therefore, Liu Qingshan arrived at the right time, and without the shortcomings of shooting skills, everything went smoothly, and the progress was progressing by leaps and bounds visible to the naked eye.
But the beginning part, which everyone regarded as the top priority, was put on hold indefinitely because the invited guests failed to arrive due to schedule delays.
This person is none other than Feng Zhigang, the famous mainland director in the original version. Liu Qingshan’s insistence on using him was also due to Liu Qingshan’s insistence. Moreover, he and Zhou Xingchi had already made a similar agreement.
Fortunately, on the seventh day after Liu Qingshan arrived, Feng Zhigang finally showed up. The filming content that night was the opening scene of "Kung Fu" that will forever be remembered in the history of movies.
Feng Zhigang, who is less than fifty years old, is far from the majesty of the legendary big-name director. On the contrary, he is surprisingly kind.
Moreover, Liu Qingshan was fluent in Beijing movies, which gave Liu Qingshan a sense of familiarity as if he had met his neighbor's uncle.
"Shanzi, I know you, a true martial arts master, the ceiling among the younger generation!"
When Feng Zhigang faced Liu Qingshan, he was unexpectedly friendly, but his seemingly casual words made him tremble all over.
"Director Feng, please, please don't describe me like that in front of others in the future! Good guy, just one sentence has kicked me into a dangerous situation that I will never recover from. I can't bear it!"
Feng Zhigang laughed loudly: "This is not a word I invented, but a report in the media. I heard that you want to sue that media? Do you really dare not bear the word ceiling?"
Just as he said, a newspaper in the south two days ago, when it was gaining popularity, there was a saying about the ceiling in martial arts, which unsurprisingly caused quite a stir.
