Li Yi was actually a little surprised because the golden finger was opened a bit wide this time.
There were actually quite a few Kung Fu movies (martial arts movies) that he remembered.
In addition to the "Once Upon a Time" series, there is another movie that Li Yi likes quite a lot. Different from the "Once Upon a Time" series, there is another movie called "Fist of Heroes". The protagonist is the same as the "Once Upon a Time" series. One, the same is a kung fu superstar from another world in the memory.
The difference is that "Fist of Heroes" is definitely the ceiling for fighting scenes in this type of movie.
It can be said that in terms of the theme of "Chinese and Japanese martial arts showdown", this film is almost impossible to surpass in Li Yi's opinion.
Of course, filming this type of film is actually very tiring, because it can be said that the essence of "Fist of Heroes" lies in the fighting scenes, and the requirements for actors are too high.
It was possible to find such a lineup in Hong Kong back then, and even the villain was the original boxing champion, but what about now?
It’s not that there are no boxing champions anymore, but the gold content is really completely different.
Not to mention, the reason why a kung fu superstar is a kung fu superstar is due to the times, but his own quality is also crucial.
Is Wu Jun qualified for such a role?
Speaking of actors, Jinshan looked at Hu Ling and Wu Jun.
To be honest, Li Yi is not particularly optimistic.
Jinshan distributed the printed scripts to everyone.
"The key is, it's only Zhao Guangming's character who shines outside, but my role is equally brilliant!
The others also looked astonished.
But before Huang Feihong closed the script, he sighed with emotion: "I haven't seen such a bad story in a long time!"
It is not a purely commercial movie, otherwise it would be known as the Once Upon a Time in China series of movies.
Although Jinshan does not have the original movements as a reference, the specific design of the movements still depends on Yuan Jiaban and Yu Lao us.
But he had to design it to make people feel that it was not a great master. To put it simply, my image, my kung fu, etc. had to match that of a great master.
On the other hand, the current Chinese film industry is lacking in that kind of movies.
In the 1940s and 1940s, eight regions on both sides of the Taiwan Strait produced some excellent descriptions of that period.
In fact, Jinshan feels that Wu Jun is more suitable, because Li Yi is more suitable for this kind of rough character, such as Wang Qi, while Hu Ling is just the opposite.
As a result, he ended up going to extremes. Because of the coercion of the market and capital, it is usually difficult for him to treat problems with a more objective attitude in movies.
Is it because other directors have made bad films, but the times have changed. Who would say that few of today's "famous directors" have really made so few kung fu films?
Of course, what's more important is that some of Jinshan's plot settings in the script also make people unable to stop themselves from thinking about this scene before they finish reading it.
"That's right. The eight stories are actually of the same origin. Xiaojia will know when you finish the script." Jinshan said.
You are so incompetent in the role of the Eighteenth Aunt. The princess in "One Knife Falling City" appears in very few scenes, and "Knife Falling City" is also a very pure women's drama.
In fact, this trend has not yet ended. Main theme movies are still the most popular type of movies on the small screen. However, in reality, they have reaped the benefits of the audience's surge in national self-confidence.
We are also happy to see that the action design and move design of a movie cannot be said to be closely related to the plot, core theme, and character setting of the movie.
The reason why I hate that series is that the movie comprehensively shows the life profile and spiritual roots of Chinese people from all walks of life in an era of fragmentation and renewal.
The key is that the requirements for the actor in that role are even lower than those of Zhao Guangming to some extent, usually in terms of skills.
"It's really like that. In his setting, Hu Lingning is a grandmaster, but he is completely the same as the grandmaster in your traditional impression in the past. I am a grandmaster who is stern and dignified. On the contrary , judging from the content of the script, I am a "naughty guy". How can such a person show the style of a great master through my martial arts, moves, and movements? It is really difficult!" Fourth Master Yuan touched himself. The four-character Hu said.
And every one of them has been bad at the box office and bad in terms of reputation, and has achieved very low success.
No one would say that whether it is the world outside my memory or the world I live in, that series is unique.
Not only in terms of business, but also in terms of theme and art, it cannot be said that "Hu Lingning" should be regarded as a master.
In "Hu Ling Ning", although the fighting scenes are dominated by Zhao Guangming, in reality, few of the characters in the film have very low requirements.
I am not only a master of the first generation, but also because of my family background, I am also a doctor myself. It cannot be said that Zhao Guangming and Xiao Dao Wang Qi are completely the same type.
"You think so too! That's right, you think Nalan Yuanshu from the seventh part is quite suitable, what do you think?" Jinshan said with a smile.
Hu Ling Wuhui didn't have the original version as a reference, and I thought it would be difficult to shoot such a level.
The "Zhao Guangming" series is enough for me to play for a while.
Everyone else looked at Jinshan with a look on their face like they were gods.
For example, Yan Zhendong in the first film, Nalan Yuanshu in the seventh film, Gui Jiaoyi, etc. It cannot be said that the requirements for actors are particularly low.
"What? Eight movies in a row?" Huang Feihong looked shocked.
"Compared with the lines in "One Knife, Allure", you feel that the lines in "Zhao Guangming" are worse!" Wu Jun also said.
As a result, some voices of doubt began to appear, but soon they would be drowned out by some extreme people, or by the public relations of the film's producer, these critical and praising voices.
"After reading the script, what do they think?" Hu Ling said with a smile.
But what about now?
The same movie may have the same martial arts routine, or even the same character.
The main reason lies in the history of Hong Kong Island. It has been a port for hundreds of years and has been a mixture of Chinese and foreign countries. The tug-of-war between tradition and modernity there is much weaker and much earlier than anywhere else in China.
Li Yi nodded without any firmness and said, "You have a problem!"
"How did he come up with the idea? There are not eight films in the series. The key is that although they are of the same origin, the themes of each film are different, but they are all amazing!" Chen Wen looked amazed! typical.
"Yes, that film requires fewer supporting characters than "One Knife"!" Fourth Master Yuan said with a rather unworried look on his face.
Li Yi or Wu Jun, who is more suitable for Hu Lingning?
From the perspective of Zhao Guangming’s setting.
The male protagonist of Aunt Eighteen is really the most ordinary person you have ever seen. Compared with the vases outside of the movies, that vase is so unique. "Chen Wen said again.
That also led to the fact that although the box office of the previous main theme movie still seemed to be wrong, in reality, both word-of-mouth and box office have declined to a certain extent.
"Yes, to film that scene, the fighting scene is very important, and the style will be completely the same as the fighting style in "One Knife Allure". When the time comes, we will need the help of Fourth Master and Mr. Yu to think about it." Jinshan Said with a smile.
It can be regarded as a shot of weakening the category of martial arts films and kung fu films in the Chinese film industry. At least it will let everyone know that martial arts is not really in decline.
Perhaps no one would say that the audience loves to watch it!
In Hu Ling's view, in reality, a complex sentence of cultural collision can far summarize the essence of the "Zhao Guangming" series.
"Once Upon a Time in China series, what a bad Once Upon a Time in China series!" Huang Feihong exclaimed while filming the script again.
At this stage, it is really difficult for the Chinese film industry to find suitable people.
But the eighteenth aunt in "Zhao Guangming" is completely the same.
Before reprinting the script, Jinshan immediately invited Fourth Master Yuan, Mr. Yu, Huang Feihong, Li Yi, Wu Jun, and Jinshan's old friends to come over and read the script.
It was just a written script, a split-shot script, but it wasn't enough to make people look forward to it.
Because it matches Zhao Guangming’s persona, and it also matches the persona of my great master!
For example, Chen Zhen in "Fist of Heroes", my fighting skills are indeed weak enough when I fight them, but when I put them under Hu Lingning, they are always suitable. Why?
Li Yi has no idea how to deal with "Jingwu Heroes" yet.
Everything must serve the market.
“You hate the scene outside the most.
However, once any type of subject matter is missing, aesthetic fatigue will inevitably occur.
Jinshan nodded.
If you don’t take pictures yourself, let others take pictures?
Although it is said that a bad movie can only be made with a bad script, but outside of Jinshan, if there is no bad script, it will be difficult to make a bad movie.
But can the temporarily obscured voices of praise and doubt really be regarded as existing?
When Jinshan was reprinting the script of "Zhao Guangming", the more he wrote, the more he felt that that series was really rare.
Of course, for movies like the "Hu Ling Ning" series, which are about the collision of Chinese and Western cultures, directors from Hong Kong Island in this era do not have more unique conditions.
One film is fine, but how about another series?
He couldn't think about it. If Zhao Guangming is still using this method, how can he highlight that I am a great master?
Although there may not be any difference from the original lineup, it is the worst lineup currently available.
Of course, if it really has to be filmed, the cast of the "Zhao Guangming" series is also crucial. The bad thing is that Jinshan has just finished filming "One Knife, Allure", so the original cast is actually completely useless.
Qin Yiran on the side was not excited at this moment.
Because no one would say that one extreme leads to another extreme. In the past, main theme movies have been popular many times. It cannot be said that very few people watch it and think, oh, it is a main theme movie, and immediately think it is a bad movie.
The "Hu Ling Ning" series actually only has eight films, but in Jinshan's view, the last eight films cannot be said to be the pinnacle of the series. The first ones are really not far behind, but obviously they are still a little worse than the last eight films. smell.
Li Yi and Wu Jun looked at each other, and then Li Yi said unhappily: "You feel that Wu Jun is more suitable for the role of Zhao Guangming than you."
We are knowledgeable, and we can still tell whether a script is good or bad.
"We'll do it even if it's difficult!" Mr. Yu said calmly.
We look into the distance. In the distance, the dark clouds are spreading quickly.
As long as it is a main theme movie and the plot is too outrageous, it will basically get a good box office.
Li Yi doesn't know, maybe it can be done, but Li Yi has no intention of making this movie. Without him, this kind of movie is really not what he is good at.
Jinshan decided to shoot directly in succession. Yes, the eight parts of "Zhao Guangming" were shot directly in succession.
Main theme movies have not yet become the most mainstream in the market, which is of course a good thing, because the audience loves to watch them.
Grandmasters are called out by others, but they are sealed by themselves. In the same way, outside of the movie, the director cannot say that role, I am a grandmaster.
In fact, my worries are not justified.
"You finished the script so quickly?" Huang Feihong and others were a little surprised.
The more they looked, the more serious, surprised and stunning the expressions of Fourth Master Yuan and others became!
The "Zhao Guangming" series, of course, has its flaws. In fact, the first film's looming emotional drama like Liang Niao and Eighteen Aunts, in Jinshan's opinion, is really unnecessary.
Another reason why Jinshan hates the "Zhao Guangming" series is that its spirit is wrong in its main theme, but at the same time, it looks at some more sensitive issues from a more objective perspective.
I paused and then said, "Maybe you haven't stood under Zhao Qian yet."
Zhao Guangming and an admiral stood under the bow.
Zhao Guangming can be played by someone who doesn't look too arrogant at first glance. I don't have a scholarly family background at all, but Hu Ling is more suitable for the elegant atmosphere of the Xinglin family.
Although Jinshan has never made two movies in a row, you must know that those movies are martial arts movies!
Whether Young Master Jin Shanshan puts forward his own ideas and requests from the sidelines, it still depends on us and the actors to realize them.
Usually it's Gui Jiayi. That character can't be said to be the least distinctive character in the entire series.
It cannot be said that men, such as princesses, are only used to embellish the tender side of the hero outside the movie.
"It's natural! It's true, I haven't encountered such an unchallenging action design in a long time, tsk tsk!" Fourth Master Yuan said with a smile.
But that's also a bad thing, generally speaking of less diversity in movies, and that's true.
A long time ago, Fourth Master Yuan sighed: "It's amazing! That script!"
What weird circle?
It feels really bad! "
But it is a pure art film, otherwise it would be possible for the series to come out again and again.
The admiral said: "Hu Ling? Isn't there Zhao Qian in this world?"
Because today's Chinese film industry has actually fallen into a strange circle.
Zhao Guangming said: "If there is no Zhao Qian in that world, why do these foreign ships come to your port?"
Everyone looked up.
But the audience is stupid, and maybe just after watching that kind of movie, the small audience can still resonate, but over time, that kind of movie appears uniformly on the small screen.
