Chapter 296: I want to fight 10!


"Oh, da ..."
"Heath, your footsteps are calmer now. Now go straight to the night, grab your shoulder with your left hand, give your face a few punches with your right hand, and then grab him."
In the studio of the flame electrical production studio, the very wide and huge motion capture stage room, the "Firefly" crew is carrying out the martial arts set I that has been carried out for many days, and the martial arts action team is also designing test lenses. At this time, the team members and nearly three times the leading avatars are designing movements slowly, or coming to a scene drill smoothly, but in fact this work began before the edge of the set. It's been a long time.
There are many action scenes in "Firefly", huge and indoor, there are gun battles, spaceship battles, and close combat, which is martial arts. Robert Downey Jr., Wu Yanzu, Heath Ledger, Gina Torres, Jessica ... Alba and other protagonists with martial arts, all have special kung fu training, depending on the actual role of each person, Fighting situation, formulate different training content, different training intensity.
The series of martial arts in the script include Captain Marr, Jane, Zoe and others Vs Riva: Blue Gloves Vs civilians, Blue Gloves Vs Star Alliance Police Chaser officials, Blue Gloves Vs Marauders group, Blue Gloves Vs Marr; Riva Vs Civilian, Riva Vs Blue Gloves, Riva Vs Marauder Group, etc ...
On the role combat power, Reva first and blue gloves second, and because of the role setting, the equipment of "blue gloves" has great power and fusible functions. When playing against the "monster group", Heath and Ledger are all It's more relaxed and freehand: only when there are no gloves and other equipment at the end, the fights with Mar and Riva will move around, so relatively speaking, Heath ... Ledger's special I task is not burdensome.
If "Hairong Empire" is Keanu-Reeves, "Night Legend" is Kate-Beckinsale, then "Firefly" will be Jessica ... Alba, the focus of the film shooting is not her, but martial arts It is Riva. So naturally, although Jessica has a first-class dance level and a good kung fu foundation among non-martial arts performers, it is still the most hard-working one, at least 7 hours a day, tired and lying down directly at night, The wedding life came to an abrupt end.
At this time, Jessica was training not far away, sweating, and shouting from time to time to vent: She just practiced hanging wire in mid-air not long ago. The hanging wire looks very simple, but in fact it has to be It is very difficult to maintain body balance in the air, and then control the movement of the limbs to make kicks, hits, etc. It needs to have sufficient strength and balance to achieve it.
"More and more terrifying ..." Watching her full of fierceness, Joshua, who was watching the assistant, gritted her teeth, her fighting power rose sharply, which was not a good thing for him.
Robert Downey Jr. and Wu Yanzu were also immersed in training under the guidance of Wuzhi assistants; Heath ... Ledger was cooperating with director Wang Yang and action director Donnie Yen to practice some split-lens shots.
The action director of "Firefly" finally found Donnie Yen, a year old Donnie Yen who learned a variety of martial arts at an early age. He was dug in Hong Kong by Yuan Heping in the age, and thus starred in a series of action movies. He is regarded as an apprentice of Yuan Heping, but this Yuan Important members of the family class soon came out from the team. In addition to performing arts, he also directed films such as "Brother Wolf Tangshan" and other films; served as a warrior in films such as "Blade Warrior 2" and "Shanghai Noon 2" for 3 years. Refers to gradually gaining fame in the world.
Wang Yang does not look for Yuan Heping, who is famous and cooperates with Li An, Quentin-Tarrentino, and Tezolsky brothers. He does not look for the equally prestigious Cheng Xiaodong, but looking for Donnie Yen, he is not trying to be innovative. It's just that Cheng Xiaodong is too elegant and beautiful, and Yuan Heping's toughness is not his ideal style; in addition, he is not a director who can't fight. Yuan Heping's set will affect his first trial of martial arts, and even later, he needs more leadership. Right, more suitable for feeling and style.
But he didn't want the kind of cruelty of "Blade Warrior 2", or the similar "Black Night Biochemical Kill Bill" ...
"I want to fight very explosively. It has nothing to do with scenes, props, special effects. It's very violent and rough. It's the feeling of bang, bang, bang! Very heavy, heavy, and powerful, but there are It can also be a soft trick at the time, with a skill. Riva should be like Taijiquan, with a little bit of elegance, but not too much, and there is a heavy sense of octagonal collision; blue gloves are more clean and neat, Specially hitting the deadly spot, when the gloves are there, it is infinitely powerful, and sometimes it is as fast as Muay Thai; Marr is more thrilling, and Jenny pays more attention to strength and crazy expression ... "
Of course, this is not "Wing Chun" or "Ye Wen". The design of the action lens does not matter whether it is Tai Chi, Ba Ji Quan or Muay Thai, it is a kind of "kung fu" after fusion, or it is a free combat, and actual combat. Similarly, there is no fixed routine, so you can use it as you like, and play as you like.
If you cling to the tricks in actual combat, you must die terribly. You can play as you please. Maybe the same trick, different genres have different half-folding techniques, different trick names, but in the end, they are often the same. of. Although integration is the right way, the genre always has different styles, especially the style on the screen. How to achieve this fusion and achieve a smooth and unified style is the problem that the director and the Wuzhi need to solve.
Wang Yang had a lot of martial art ideas since childhood, and often designed some combat scenes without plots; and in many communications, Zhen Zidan can understand his Italian country, and his strong style is also suitable for style, so when Ni Yizhen took it away The title of the action guide for "Firefly".
At the director's command, Heath Ledger, who was standing on a large piece of blue mat, answered, and then walked slowly and calmly to the martial arts performer who was a few steps ahead. The male martial arts opened his hands fiercely. Flapping at him, Heath Ledger shunned sideways, the left hand in blue gloves grabbed the shoulder of the male martial arts directly, and the right hand threw a few punches into his face quickly and effortlessly. He seemed to hug him and said softly, "Thank you."
This is a very important line in the blue glove in the script. His language style is very concise and straightforward. Often there are only a few words in a sentence, which are almost everyday words. His actions do not need to be explained and do not need nonsense, except for a few scenes: After each murder, Blue Gloves will say "Thank you", regardless of the looters, innocent civilians, Star Alliance officials, gangsters, anyone.
Heath-Ledger was still trying to figure out what tone he should use to say "thank you". There are countless kills in the blue glove throughout the script. Is every sentence "thank you" different?
"Very good!" Wang Yang applauded clappingly, and the effect came out feeling good. If you follow the sub-screen script and storyboard, then the entire predator will burst and melt into a pool of water, which is "blue gloves" ability.
Si ... Ledger continued to practice, getting along these days, he now seems that this year's director of light and big likes to say "very good", everything will encourage praise, compared to the set of "Broken Mountain" here is simply "beautiful Taobao" "Women's Tmall Taobao Mall Taobao.com Women's Winter Coat m New World", "Broken Mountain" and other studios say "well done" and "very good" are so rare, they are so refreshed when they hear it, but now ... he There was some nerve numbness.
But this feeling is really good! I hope this big director will not turn his face as soon as the shooting begins like Li An. Heath ... Ledger flashed these thoughts in his heart, and thought he was ridiculous ... He was only happy to be praised and given sweet candy, but he admitted.
"I'll take a look over there." Wang Yang patted Donnie Yen's shoulder and asked him to continue to take charge of the action design of Heath Ledger. Then he walked to the other leading actors: "Robert, you are a little muscular, but not Strength, you ca n’t hit fast punches, how hard to practice! "Downey sweaty shouted:" I have no strength? Wrench with my wrench! "Wang Yang sneered and turned away:" Why do I want to fight with my men? " Defeat? What a fool. Hi Susan! What's wrong? "
"This is a challenge!" Downey's roar stopped halfway, and suddenly saw the brown woman in front, one of the long lists of producer names in "Firefly", Susan-Levine, his old face suddenly changed. After a word, he said happily: "Hi, Susan!" Susan smiled with a smile: "Hi."
Looking at Wang Yang and Susan ... Levin talked about the management of the stand-in reel, and until he couldn't even hear a little bit of voice, Downey didn't return to God and continued to practice. Is it that he ended the single Is the day coming?
"Daniel, your fist is a little heavier and hit like a hammer! Then your feet are like this!", "Come on, come on! Good!", "Jessica, you slip like a horse At night, don't use a real horse, and then give the predator on the left a few quick punches, his chest, neck, face! "...
Wang Yang walked around in the motion-capture stage room, ran around the field, demonstrated the movements of the protagonists, discussed the lens design with Donnie Yen, and watched the crowd waving their legs and sweating like rain. Itchy, I really want to fight! I haven't had any physical entertainment activities in the evening, and I suddenly fell from the peak to the bottom. It's really maddening! He couldn't disturb the recording of the protagonists, he looked at Donnie Yen next to his chin, not enough ...
"I'm going to fight ten!" On the blue cushioned stage, Wang Yangpeng opened his posture with a cry, looking at the martial arts members of the surrounding action team, with a stunned face, he clenched his fists: "All come Okay! I need to personally test some shots. "
"Huh, wow ..."
One morning spent in the flame studio, like the track of a few days ago, Wang Yang came to the image engine headquarters on Fifth Avenue in West Vancouver in the afternoon. What does a special effect company have funds, talents and technology? Today, the image engine is already one of the top special effects companies in the industry. It ’s not as good as the big brother industrial light and magic, but it is not lost in the Weta Studio of "Lord of the Rings 3." It is more in animals, motion capture, explosions, etc. Start to have some leading technology.
In addition to special effects for the flame group's "Furious Speed" and other film and television works, the image engine is not idle, it has participated in the production of special effects for many blockbuster films, and has just taken over part of the "City of Sin" cg rendering business. . Now every animator and member of the graphics engine knows that the Serenity 200 million investment will carry them to the best visual effect award for impacting Aoerska.
The same company, "Firefly" naturally uses the special effects team of "The Ninth District", visual effects director: Sean-Walsh, Richard-Kid: Sean-Walsh also shoulders the computer production director, The important role of the special effects team captain: Steve-Nicholas is the animation director, modeler Brian ... Mike, etc. This team has hundreds of people, cg masters and special effects talents from all over the world, enough to commit any A director's imagination is realized.
"Yang, are you okay? What's the problem?" In the office, the round table was filled with drawings, and the computer screen showed a rotating 3d firefly spaceship. Sean Yiershi looked at Wang Yang suspiciously. The young director grinned, is there any dissatisfaction?
Long cooperation, Sean knows that Wang Yang ’s ideas have always been novel and amazing, and he has always demanded the pursuit of perfection. Even the shrimp and insect people of multiple pixels have said, "Can they be more real?" Shrimp and insects are comparable. Fortunately, the technology is the same and advanced, clay sculpture modeling, 3D scanning, topological skeletalization ... The prototype of the Serenity ship is "smooth and soft", and magically wants "texture".
Of course, the Tranquility has not been formally textured. This is exactly the strength of the image engine and the principle of the shrimp and insects. As long as the materials are added, the pixels are high, and they can be brought to life like a guarantee. "Star Wars Episode 3" None are so delicate. It's just that the materials needed for the textures will take a lot of time to produce; various parameters will also need to be debugged slowly ... Special effects production has always been a boring business that requires patience.
"No, I'm fine." Wang Yang shrugged and squeezed his right shoulder a few times with his left hand. He was addicted, but he was also beaten hard. He went back to the apartment at night to rub some liquor.
He glanced at the table Sean ... Walsh, Vale-Fest, art director Kevin-Kawanaf and others, continued: "I hope our special effects can be more expressed in some scene details In other words, create a sense of a science fiction world. "
Wang Yang picked up a drawing on the table, and everyone saw the lively urban street painted on the paper. He said again: "Because this is the edge of a desolate and backward galaxy, just like the west, there is no clean science fiction like the galaxy center. But some details must be different from the four years. What about the traffic lights in the future? Then today another topic is about the special effects and shooting in martial arts. We know that we ca n’t do without using a high camera to shoot some slow motion because I like slow Lens. "
"Oh!" Everyone chuckled happily. Slow motion is indeed one of Fantastic Young's favorites. It seems that there are many in every movie.
"Since the bullet time of" The Matrix "came out, it seems that the high camera changed from pRada to neteR overnight, from Cannes to Hollywood, everyone is using it! But what about? I believe there are many more high camera , A lot of charm, not only the bullet time, we can find some novel and suitable effects. In fact, I tried to shoot a cheek with a high camera and was hit with a punch, it is very beautiful! Those facial muscles and the entire head will tremble like water waves distortion……"
"Ah ... oh oh ..."
In Vancouver, at night, in the spacious living room, listening to this cry like a painful cry, Danny shook his tail anxiously, rushing around in the sand. On the sand, Jessica clasped her eyebrows tightly, her silver teeth clenched, and her long left leg rested on Wang Yang ’s knee. He applied some medicinal wine to his hand and wiped her left ankle firmly. Road: "How do you feel?" Jessica sighed happily: "Oh d ..."
Wang Yang smiled and continued to massage, looking at this delicate foot, calf, he couldn't help whispering: "But I don't d!" She didn't sprain her ankle, applying medicine wine just to eliminate the fatigue accumulated in the joints. . However, the high-intensity market training these days has also caused her a lot of hardships. After the film starts, it will only be more. Looking up at her, he asked: "Is it hard?"
It's just over a week now, can her body support this intensity of Kung Fu training? He was really worried that people would get sick easily if they were tired for a long time, especially her congenitally inadequate resistance to immunity ... Is it really impossible for him to fail?
"It's hard, UU reads www.uukanshu.com but I'm fine! I enjoy it." Jessica smiled gleefully and returned to work although not as happy as her honeymoon, but this week was indeed very fulfilling, she knew she was sweating The more, the better Fireflies. "Please!" Seeing the worry on his face, how could he not know what he was thinking? Really annoying! Jessica was a little angry: "Sometimes I really want to beat you up, don't think I'm a vase! It's beautiful, it will break when touched." Wang Yang even said: "What do I say, I don't have one."
She kicked him with her left foot and said seriously: "I know you don't, but you take care of me too much, I can work hard, I can yoga, I can hip-hop ... Even if I don't suffer, as long as I don't kiss naked, I can do it! "She shouted:" Jessica-you can do it! I can do it! "
"Of course!" Listening to her huge shouts and echoes in the room, Wang Yang nodded and put aside their dedication, just like she believed him, he also unconditionally chose to believe her to support her, justly: "You can do it!!"
"Yes! Continue." Jessica leaned on the sand again and made up her mind silently. She must practice well, exert the utmost strength, and act as Riva! What "Magic Yankee", what "Barbie" ... all go to hell! Thinking of this, she suddenly couldn't help but yell: "Oh ... oh d ..."! ~!
