Chapter 195 Novel arena.
"Ah Xing, you still have a solution. The popularity of [Ip Man 2] is not too high now. Many theaters have taken the initiative to discuss cooperation, and some theaters have directly offered a 6-4 share ratio." Huang Baiming originally He was somewhat displeased with Zhou Xing's practice of converting his film salary into investment, but after this incident, he understood that if he hadn't had his own share of investment, Zhou Xing would never have worked so hard to help [Ip Man 2] publicize .
To put it bluntly, getting paid is just like working part-time. You use money to do things. Why should people help you with other things?
Huang Baiming suddenly felt that giving up a certain percentage of the investment share did not seem to be a bad thing.
Zhou Xing smiled lightly, and Huang Baiming said again: "I'll trouble you to worry about the shooting. As long as the filming effect is good, I can try to further reduce the proportion of the cinema."
"Don't worry, Huang Sheng, the quality of the film will never be a hindrance."
Huang Baiming left satisfied.
[Ip Man 2] Although it is about the story of Ip Man after he came to Xiangjiang, the actual filming location is Songjiang Film and Television City in Shanghai. TVB dramas have also begun to come to the mainland to shoot, not only the scenery in the mainland is good, but also the supporting staff and facilities are more complete than Xiangjiang.
What's more, the daily salary for group performances in the Mainland is about 80 yuan, while the daily salary for Hong Kong group performances is at least [-] Hong Kong dollars. This alone can save the crew a lot of money.
The cast of [Ip Man 2] hasn't changed too much, but compared with the first film, fans like Fan Shaohuang and Ren Dahua have fewer roles, basically they can only play one role.
On the contrary, the new character "Hong Zhennan" has a lot of roles. At first, Ye Weixin planned to invite Hong Jinbao to play this role, but obviously this person is not as grand as he appears on the surface, so it is absolutely impossible for him to praise Zhou Xing of.
So the role of "Hong Zhennan" fell on Kwan Zhaolong. With his aura, playing such a role was easy.
And because Xiong Xinxin is rushing to another drama, Kwan Zhaolong will also be the martial arts director of this drama, this is a very good opportunity for him.
Xiong Dailin still played the role of Zhang Yongcheng, but the filming process was not smooth. In this film, Zhang Yongcheng was pregnant, and Xiong Dailin didn't look like a pregnant woman at all except for a fake belly.
There was no way, Ye Weixin could only ask her to read some information about the influence of pregnant women and observe how pregnant women walked.
Apart from Xiong Dailin, Huang Xiaoming was also troublesome. He had never filmed a fighting scene, let alone Wing Chun, and his progress was very slow. Wrinkle Zhaolong had to ask his subordinate Da Wuxing to teach him during his off-work time.
"Hey, nowadays it seems that everyone can shoot kung fu movies without any foundation, so at least they should do their homework before accepting the film." Wrinkle Zhaolong complained.
Zhou Xing patted him on the shoulder: "Forget it, Huayi's people, Director Ye always wants to show some face, and I think he is still working hard, let Ah Qiang take more trouble."
Kwan Zhaolong could only sigh silently. Sometimes in the film and television industry, you really depend on God to reward you for your food. Huang Xiaoming can easily get the role even though he doesn't know kung fu. Ah Qiang's martial arts are at best just acting. Playing a supporting role, or acting as a stand-in, sometimes you can't even show your face in a play.
Of course, Huang Xiaoming was still very respectful to Zhou Xing, at least on the surface, Zhou Xing didn't have the habit of playing big names, and the cooperation was smooth.
What is really difficult to shoot is the few fight scenes. The group arena match between Ip Man and Xiangjiang Wushi is a headache, because the previous [Fearless] and [Huang Feihong] series have played the group arena to the extreme. If it is just ordinary It is difficult to attract the audience's attention in the fighting scenes.
As a martial arts instructor, Wrinkle Zhaolong thought hard about this for a long time and still couldn't come up with a good idea. Seeing that the shooting date was approaching, Kwan Zhaolong was still at a loss, so he could only invite his martial artists to drink and brainstorm together.
However, the martial artists are all honest people, so it's okay to let them do it. It's really not their strong point to use their brains, and they come up with some bad ideas.
"Brother Xing, let's have a drink."
When the martial artists saw Zhou Xing, they greeted Zhou Xing from afar. Zhou Xing sat next to Kwan Zhaolong and patted him on the shoulder: "Still worried about the filming scene?"
Wrinkle Zhaolong smiled wryly and touched Zhou Xing: "Otherwise? What can be played with this kind of arena design is basically leftovers from other people's play. No matter how you shoot it, you will pick up people's teeth."
Zhou Xing has nothing to do about it, and it is true in fact. In the heyday of kung fu movies, all kinds of whimsy and whimsy of Xiangjiang filmmakers burst out, such as fighting on ropes and using stairs. All kinds of unimaginable fighting scenes have been regarded as Classic, it is difficult to break through.
"Forget it, don't force yourself if you can't think of it for the time being, why don't you drink happily, go back to sleep at night, maybe you will have a good idea when you wake up tomorrow?" Zhou Xing comforted.
Wrinkle Zhaolong let out a long breath: "I hope so."
It was rare for Zhou Xing to have time to drink with the martial artists, and the martial artists under him were all real people, so Zhou Xing did not drink less at all.
Wu Xing is a group of men full of hormones, and it is inevitable to vent after drinking alcohol. The two of them stared at each other, neither of them convinced, but fortunately, they still retained some reason and did not directly attack.
But when emotions pile up, there must be an outlet, what should I do?Rules of the rivers and lakes - arm wrestling!
"Come on, if I don't show you some color today, you won't know how many eyes Prince Ma has."
"Who doesn't know how to talk big, don't cry when you lose later!"
So, the two moved to a table and sat facing each other, each stretching out their right hands.
"Come on, let's buy and leave. Ali's odds are 1:1.2, and Ah Quan's odds are 1:0.7. Who wants to bet?"
In the crew, there is basically two points and one line, and there is no time to go out to play. The entertainment life of the martial artists is quite monotonous. With such a good opportunity, how could it be possible not to participate? 100 and [-] for fun, it doesn't hurt.
"Brother Xing, Brother Long, do you want to have a second hand?"
Wrinkle Zhaolong and Zhou Xing looked at each other and smiled, and Wrinkle Zhaolong took out 1000 yuan in cash: "Okay, I'll pay Ah Quan."
Zhou Xing also stepped forward to join in the fun: "Then, I will bet two thousand Ali, and if you lose, the money will be yours. If you win, how about using this money to treat everyone to supper?"
"Brother Xing is mighty!" With free food and drink, who wouldn't be happy?A group of people started booing, and of course it wasn't entirely to take advantage of it. The main reason was that Zhou Xing did this to make them feel ashamed. You see, the boss wants to "woo" us.
Ah Quan and Ali were also gearing up, their right hands were clasped together, and Kwan Zhaolong was the referee. Following his order, both of them began to exert their strength.
"Ah Quan, use your strength!"
"Ali, show him some color!"
Facts have proved that in the world of gamblers, the main thing is to place a bet. Even a boring arm wrestling is as exciting as watching the World Cup. Both sides cheer for their betting players.
Not only did Ah Quan and Ali bet on themselves, but it was also a matter of face. Each of them used their strength to knock the other down.
However, what everyone didn't expect was that the tables of the food stalls were not solid, and they fell apart with a bang.
Suddenly, the lively scene suddenly fell into freezing point, how can this be counted?Some Wu Xing complained: "Boss, can't you buy some good quality for this table?"
The boss couldn't tell because he was suffering, and a table cost dozens of yuan. He hasn't asked these guys for compensation yet.
"How about this?"
Soon everyone started arguing about who won and who lost. Zhou Xing looked at it and said with a smile: "In this way, this game will be regarded as useless. I will take the 2000 yuan Aqiang first, and I will treat my brothers to supper tomorrow. How about it?" Sample?"
"Thank you brother Xing."
Everyone was convinced by this proposal, and they stopped booing one by one, and started a new round of wine competition.
Wrinkle Zhaolong saw it clearly from the side, and couldn't help secretly admiring Zhou Xing's emotional intelligence, thinking: No wonder he can achieve today's achievements.
However, just when Kwan Zhaolong was about to say something, Zhou Xing grabbed him suddenly: "Brother Long, I thought of a way."
"?" Wrinkle Zhaolong was at a loss, what does this mean?
Seeing this, Zhou Xing explained: "The table, since you can use the table to break your arms, can you use the table to fight?"
Wrinkle Zhaolong's eyes lit up: "You mean, prepare a big table, use it as a ring, and then use the small space to fight? Whoever gets out is considered a loser?"
"That's right!"
With this idea in mind, the next thing is easy to handle. Kwan Zhaolong asked the props team to prepare a table for a hotel banquet.
"Isn't this space too small?" But standing on the table, Kwan Zhaolong started to have a headache again. Fighting in such a small arena requires stricter requirements for action design. Not only must the fight look good, but also Demonstrate the characteristics of various martial arts.
What's more, Wrinkle Zhaolong tried it with Ali in advance, and the tabletop of ordinary quality could hardly withstand the fierce fighting of two people on it, and the ordinary table couldn't stand it either, so the props group could only be rebuilt with solid wood.
"Brother Long, how is your research going?" Zhou Xingda asked from afar.
Wrinkle Zhaolong lightly jumped onto the table: "Why don't you come up and try your hand?"
"Okay." Zhou Xing didn't say a word, a little on his foot.
Immediately, all the martial artists gathered, and the movement here also alarmed the other actors. For a while, the "ring" was surrounded by people.
Ye Weixin soon followed, and when he saw the two standing on the table facing each other, he couldn't help but his eyes lit up. This form of fighting in the arena is indeed very novel.
On the "Ring Arena", Kwan Zhaolong made a double-shaped starting gesture of Hong Fist, Tiger and Crane. Obviously, he had assumed the role. Zhou Xing drew a 45-degree angle on the table with his right foot, and moved his hands forward and backward. Gestures, one attack and one defense.
Hong Quan's hard bridge and hard horse skills are better than defense, and Kwan Zhaolong knows Zhou Xing's strength, so he is not polite at all, and uses "twelve bridge hands" to attack as soon as he comes up.
The so-called twelve bridge hands: rigid, soft, forceful, straight, divided, fixed, inch, lifted, flowed, transported, made, and ordered. The so-called bridges come from bridges and bridges are built without bridges. Once Hong Quan's offensive is activated, it is easy to be at a disadvantage all the time, and there is no power to fight back.
Zhou Xing was not careless either, he himself had a high attainment in Hongquan, so he naturally understood the characteristics of Hongquan, he used both hands to attack and defend, and always guarded the center line.
The power of Wing Chun is based on the center line of the body, and the power of punching comes directly from the large muscle groups on the back of the body. This way of power is in sharp contrast to all other martial arts systems that originate from the muscles of the waist and arms. It is also the reason why Wing Chun is more suitable for women to practice.
The two sides came and went, and the speed of the punches was getting faster and faster. The people around the ring were very happy to watch, but most of them were laymen, so they just watched the fun.
"Hey, tell me, who is better, Brother Long or Brother Xing?" Huang Xiaoming asked Chen Xiaolong in a low voice.
Chen Xiaolong plays Xu Shichang in the play, which is one of Ip Man's disciples. His role is not as good as Huang Xiaoming, but Chen Xiaolong is different from Huang Xiaoming. He has real kung fu. He worshiped Shaolin abbot Shi Yongxin since he was a child His former stage name was Shi Xiaolong. In the 90s of last century, his salary was not at all cheaper than that of the top four kings.
However, child stars are often in an awkward situation when they grow up, and Chen Xiaolong is no exception. He was a well-deserved leading actor when he was a child, but now he can only play a supporting role.
"If I'm not mistaken, Brother Xing should be stronger. He doesn't seem to be using his full strength." Chen Xiaolong is quite confident in his eyesight.
"No way? Here, how did you see it?" Huang Xiaoming scratched his head. Before filming the fighting scene, he thought it was just a pose. Isn't that easy?
However, after he entered the film crew, he realized that it was not as simple as he imagined. The real kung fu movies are not the kind of movements that look light and powerless. The speed and strength of the punches are real, and the reaction is a little slower. Will be recruited.
Moreover, without martial arts skills, many movements would be awkward, and even hurt himself. He has suffered a lot, so he was very envious of Chen Xiaolong.
Chen Xiaolong hissed, "Stop talking, it's almost over."
Indeed, in the arena, the fight between Zhou Xing and Kwan Zhaolong was no longer limited to their hands, their feet had already begun to compete for this square inch.
Huang Xiaoming was dumbfounded. With the battle between the two, the arena was already wobbly. Ordinary people might not be able to stand upright, but they seemed to be walking in a leisurely manner, as if they were walking on flat ground, as if they had taken root under their feet.
"Brother Long, does this inspire you?"
On the ring, Zhou Xing and Kwan Zhaolong's right foot pressed against Kwan Zhaolong's throat, and Kwan Zhaolong's left hand was entangled with Zhou Xing's left hand, and his right fist was far away from Zhou Xing's temple. Only two inches away.
"Haha, that's right, I've already figured out the essentials of the action design for this fight." Zhou Zhaolong laughed excitedly, and the two then withdrew their hands and both got down from the ring.
Ah Qiang leaned forward and took a look. There was a very long hole in the center of the solid wood tabletop.
"This"
