The person who plays Abu is also one of the early members of the Liu family class, named Fu Di, who is also a dispatched disciple from Hongmen.
He is more handsome than Geng Cheng and Mi Jianxiang, but because of his mixed-race characteristics, he was not used so early.
The appearance of the first two is very suitable for playing some early military images. This time Fu Di is used, not because of his ability, but because he has a suitable role.
Like Geng and Cheng, this person has a great interest in becoming an artist, so Liu Qingshan did not hesitate to add the role of Abu in this film just to promote him. ap.
At this time, Liu Qingshan only found Geng Cheng, but not Fu Di, just to distinguish the status of these people.
Geng Chengcai is his most valued candidate, and he also has certain management capabilities. In the future, the first batch of Liu family members to develop will be dominated by him.
"I let you take a look at Brother Chen Long's works before, and they will come in handy today. Tell me what you think!"
Geng Cheng seems to have some confidence: "Before the shooting, Andy and I discussed it and designed the action according to the specific venue conditions. Anyway, the people chasing us are our brothers, and we have a very high tacit understanding with each other, so let them follow Our actions were improvised!"
"Well, there aren't many scenes in this film anyway. Let's try out a few more locations. I won't follow you. I'll mainly rely on Brother Dabao's opinion. After all, he has more experience in this area than we do! "
"Don't you need to consider the difficulty of the movements too high?"
"Ignore the difficulty for now, just a little bit is good. How can you eat a big fat man in one bite? Besides, you are so brilliant, how can I, Ye Man, be embarrassed?"
"Hahaha, the boss actually has some thoughts? Don't worry, we all know the appropriateness!"
"I won't explain anything special about safety. If you can't do this well, you can continue to stay in the team as a substitute from now on!"
"The character of Jianxiang will play against you again. I'm actually looking forward to starring opposite him!"
"Forget it this time, I'll let you work together when I get the chance to see if we can create a different spark. Besides, you two still have a certain amount of traffic in the mainland, and there is a market among the audience!!"
"Adi is more suitable for Hong Kong kung fu movies. His mixed-race appearance is too obvious."
"He will be the first batch of expatriates to represent the Liu family class, but you just need to know in your heart. I will tell him myself when it's time to notify him!"
When the shooting started in the afternoon, Liu Qingshan did not come in person to provide guidance. Instead, he hid in a room and made preliminary rough cuts of today's material.
In particular, the content of the round table battle will be used as the main promotional content. The earlier the effect is produced, the easier it is to operate.
After he finished the work at hand, he went out and called Director Ye and Hong Dabao to watch together.
Both of them looked over and looked at each other with surprises on their faces, especially Hong Dabao's expression, which actually showed a sense of pride that did not suit his age.
"So I'm so good at fighting? Movies are indeed a very magical thing. I've been making movies for so many years, and I just discovered that the action editing was just from a different angle, which exaggerated my actual abilities infinitely!"
Director Ye also laughed loudly: "Isn't it? It's just a different angle, and the shooting effect without using Wia is indeed easier to edit. You see, Shanzi combined your part so that it is almost impossible to tell that it is divided. The filming of the section!"
"That's why I said that I suddenly became a lot more powerful. In the second half of this jump, I couldn't tell that I used a substitute at all!"
Liu Qingshan said with a smile: "If the dubbing effect is completed, will this editing meet your expectations?"
"No problem at all!" Hong Dabao happily waved his hand, almost scolding Fang Qiu, "Leave the dubbing to me. At least the confidentiality of these materials can be guaranteed!"
Liu Qingshan knew that he had his own post-production team: "Then please trouble Brother Dabao to keep an eye on this matter. We will produce these contents first, and they will be used for pre-publicity in the future!"
"This set of actions is our entire film.
It contains the core content of the book. Isn’t it inappropriate to spread it out too early? "
Director Ye raised his question.
Liu Qingshan shook his head: "The other two important fight scenes are the key. Compared with the arena matches against foreigners in many previous movies, the bloodiness of these two scenes can be said to be surpassed in all aspects, from action to sound effects, I can guarantee that every punch will make people's hearts tremble and their whole body tingle. For the audience, the inciting power can be imagined, and that is our biggest back-up."
Director Ye and Hong Dabao looked at each other, and then the latter nodded: "It seems that you have a complete plan, and that is indeed the case. The bloody scenes in Kung Fu movies are the most exciting. These two paragraphs The content is more ferocious but lacks decisiveness in killing, and today’s audiences still remember the scene of Ip Man stomping on his enemies in the first film!”
"This is the truth. Shockingness is always easier to remember than excellence. And since we are known as the strongest kung fu film, it is necessary to leak some real kung fu scenes in advance during the promotion period, so that it has the meaning of promotion!"
"I still have a question. When the filming of today's fighting scenes was completed, even the staff on the set were dumbfounded, because everyone's fighting scenes were so exciting. So the question is, today's two clips, I I found that there are a lot more expressions of the crowd onlookers. It seems that compared to the first part, you have many different forms of expression this time. Will there be more such scenes, will it affect the overall viewing experience?"
This is what Liu Qingshan recognizes most about Hong Dabao. He never hides his different opinions in his heart. Even when faced with him, the so-called best master in the world, his serious attitude towards work is far more serious than trying to cater to others. Comes more straightforward.
Especially before he had such a high market position, even when faced with the forced placement of actors by major capitals, he always had his own persistence. Otherwise, he would rather lose the investment than follow the trend.
Therefore, Liu Qingshan explained patiently: "The main theme of our film is patriotic. To be honest, similar themes have been filmed badly for a long time. In fact, it is not interesting, and the expression method is a bit monotonous... .”
Long before Ip Man, Huang Feihong, Fearless, Chen Zhen, Bruce Lee and other subjects had already found a relatively mature production model through continuous exploration.
That's when the characters come on stage. First they don't know each other, and after resolving the internal conflicts, they encounter foreign enemies. The protagonist witnesses the humiliation of his compatriots, and becomes unbearable and steps forward to fight. Finally, the hero defeats his enemies in the ring and ends happily.
The two "Ip Man" works were created according to this approach, especially "Ip Man 2". Every step is carefully calculated, when to give what shot, and what kind of emotion this shot can make the audience achieve. Under control.
This feeling is like meeting a professional publicist on a blind date. The conversation is of course very enjoyable, but it will definitely not go further.
Hong Dabao's inner doubts came from this aspect, so Liu Qingshan specifically explained his good intentions in doing so. He just wanted to highlight the atmosphere of the scene.
Especially in the second half of the film, if the camera is not trying its best to vilify foreigners, it is trying its best to magnify the plight of Chinese people.
Although this method of stimulating the audience's patriotic emotions is very effective, it must be done in moderation.
So he put this more emotional thing in the description of other people's expressions and reactions, rather than reflected in the actors' lines.
In this way, it can appear that the action and stillness of drama, drama and martial arts are appropriate, and the rhythm can be grasped accurately enough. These are the main components of a representative commercial film.
However, Hong Dabao is a person who has personally experienced the most traditional production model, and it is inevitable that he will be more or less uncomfortable with this change.
However, after listening to Liu Qingshan's detailed explanation, he began to have a gradually clearer concept.
"Hey, this is something I haven't considered. Although this change is somewhat opportunistic, it's not necessarily a new attempt besides traditional methods. I'm actually being gradually convinced by you!"
Director Ye immediately smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "I have said before that Shanzi is very unique in the expression of his works. His heart
Li knows very well that when changing traditional shooting techniques, he should not act too hastily. He prefers to change the way of expression rather than making subversive changes for the sake of change. This has been reflected in the high box office results of his other works. It’s reflected! "
"Yes, yes, as I said just now, the original Xiangjiang Kung Fu movie used a broken form of Qing Kung, but he changed the shooting angle to present it, which opened my eyes!"
What Hong Dabao is talking about is still the description of himself jumping onto the round table. If it were presented in a traditional way, it would still not deviate from the full-perspective presentation technique.
However, this version of Liu Qingshan is reflected in a close-up angle, just like the angle of the drone that has just emerged.
In this way, the new ideas are reflected at once, but the actors' performances are still old routines, especially the presentation method of kung fu movies. It is not so easy to create new ones. Otherwise, if there are too many changes, it will easily make the audience confused. The filming habit is very uncomfortable.
But with the presentation of such a small detail from different angles, you can immediately feel that not only are there new ideas, but the traditional kung fu movie routine pattern is still the same as before.
It can be seen that Liu Qingshan is trying to enhance the modernity of traditional paintings at the lowest cost, but it can give people an innovative feeling that is obviously different from the past.
So I have to admit that Liu Qingshan put a lot of thought into the production of this movie.
He did not blindly copy the original shooting techniques, but combined with future film market trends, began to develop his own innovative innovations in traditional routines bit by bit.
