The bard joins the entertainment industry - Chapter 481 Water-Bearing Sword Technique
Shu Chang did not learn dance or martial arts when she was young, but she filmed many characters who knew martial arts or dance, and she also learned a lot of moves for this purpose.
Coupled with his young age and strong physical plasticity, after training in several dramas, he now has a good foundation.
He can also do some actions easily, but he is not a real action actor after all, and he always has trouble using unpopular weapons like soft swords.
A normal sword thrusts out with one stroke, even if it shakes a little. As long as it’s generally passable, the audience won’t notice.
However, if the power of a soft sword cannot be concentrated on the tip of the sword, the power of the sword will be lost halfway through the thrust.
Except for some specific sword moves, the usage of the soft sword should be silent but unpredictable.
The kind that really makes the soft sword clatter, and cannot play the true purpose of the soft sword.
After watching him practice for a while, his sword power became more and more scattered. Chen Shuo said, “Let’s rest for a while. Don’t rush.”
Shu Chang breathed a sigh of relief and put away the sword, saying: “I feel that the soft sword is really the most difficult weapon to use.”
Chen Shuo took the soft sword in her hand, held the handle with one hand and the tip with the other. He gently broke the sword and bent the tip and hilt into a circle.
As soon as he let go, there was a soft sound, and the sword immediately straightened and swayed slightly.
“Actually, it’s not just soft swords, it’s the same with soft weapons like the Nine-section Whip and the Chain Meteor. It’s difficult to get started.
However, as long as you find the trick, you will find that these cold weapons are very simple to use.
Because it is unpopular, there are only so many routines. Once you learn it, you basically use this routine everywhere.
There are dozens or even hundreds of normal swordsmanship, swordsmanship, and marksmanship routines.
It feels like I can never finish learning. “
After saying that, he held the soft sword to pierce, pierce, point, collapse, intercept, wipe, lift, counter, and hang, and used the basic sword moves one by one, and said: “Actually, the moves for practicing the soft sword are the same as those for practicing the hard sword. Yes, don’t think about shaking the sword, but think about how to take advantage of the soft sword’s blade.
Master the basic skills first, learn how to control the soft sword, and then think about other things. “
After saying that he had finished practicing the basic moves, he suddenly shook the sword without making any big movements.
But the soft sword in his hand was like a spiritual snake, dancing around him wildly.
Although the sword light is dense, it is not scattered.
After that, he suddenly approached Shu Chang. The soft sword in his hand seemed to have eyes. The tip of the sword turned around and sank directly into the sheath.
Shu Chang clapped his hands excitedly, and Chen Shuo smiled and said: “This prop sword is good for fighting, it doesn’t have an edge, but it basically has the characteristics of a soft sword, including flexibility, toughness, elasticity, and hardness.
You should know after filming so many scenes that you can find a stand-in for action scenes.
But a substitute is always a substitute, and cannot become yourself. You can use it, but you have to learn the skills yourself.
Next, practice seriously and do whatever you want to do. If the movements are too difficult, find a substitute. “
Shu Chang nodded sharply and said: “Don’t worry, I understand. Although this is not the first movie I have made, it is obvious that with Director Zhang here, this movie is very different.
My performance determines whether I will be ignored or recognized in the future. “
“That’s the truth. Come on, practice slowly.” Chen Shuo said and took out the sword and handed it to her and asked her to practice.
In fact, according to the ideas of Cheng Xiaodong and others, Xiaoyu’s swordsmanship should have a name and be distinctive.
After all, her fame and strength in the play are countless, and she is the heroine, so she must have some characteristics.
But now Shu Chang has not even mastered the basic skills, and Yang Ziqiong is not here, so everyone is not in a hurry and is ready to slowly figure out a unique set of swordsmanship.
Chen Shuo also provided ideas in the script. This time he came and worked with him to choreograph this set of swordsmanship.
He watched Shu Chang practice for a while, and then Cheng Xiaodong came over to discuss the matter with Chen Shuo.
The two of them modified several sets of soft sword techniques based on her characteristics, turning them into a set of water-proof sword techniques suitable for her and Fan Bingbing.
Both of them practice this swordsmanship in the play, but one is fine and the other is loose, and they have to perform this level in their movements.
Of course, this is just a rough idea. How to make full use of the characteristics of actors and swordsmanship still has to wait for Yang Ziqiong.
After all, she is the real protagonist.
Perhaps some domestic audiences do not recognize her, but some countries in the United States and Europe recognize her very much.
Although not as good as Jet Li and Cheng Long, his reputation is much better than others.
She is the representative of Chinese kung fu female stars. Thanks to the publicity of Bruce Lee and others, there are many people who like kung fu abroad.
After practicing for a day, Chen Shuo had a meal with Cheng Xiaodong and others in the evening, and then went home with Shu Chang.
When I got home, I talked with Liu Yifei about their experiences today, how Chen Shuo was on the set, how Liu Yifei was at school, etc.
Early the next morning, Chen Shuo sent Liu Yifei to school, and returned to the hotel with Shu Chang for training.
Gradually, Chen Shuo also integrated into it. Just like ordinary office workers clocking in to work and students attending classes, he went every morning and came back in the evening.
A few days later, Yang Ziqiong also came. She had the demeanor of a big star, but also the airs of a big star.
He was very polite and respectful to Zhang Yimou, Cheng Xiaodong and others, but he didn’t care much about the other actors and crew members.
On the second day after joining the team, Yang Ziqiong came to the training room early.
Chen Shuo was a little surprised and greeted him: “Sister Yang, are you here so early?”
Yang Ziqiong looked at everyone training around him, nodded casually and said, “Come and take a look.”
Seeing her interest, Chen Shuo introduced her to each person and their role, as well as the characteristics of the kung fu practiced, like a tour guide.
“This is Sunshine, who plays Tian Qingtong in the play, a heroine who travels around the world and later retires for love.
This is Zhang Jin, playing the role of Cai Jian Shi Lian Sheng, the killer of Black Stone, a magic master who combines magic with martial arts and knows martial arts. “
Seeing Zhang Jin’s Kung Fu practice, she stopped and just looked at it with great interest.
Everyone had met yesterday, but she didn’t care who everyone was, and she didn’t deliberately remember them.
Unexpectedly, this crew actually integrated kung fu with the characteristics of the characters and specially choreographed corresponding actions.
After looking for a while and about to leave, I suddenly felt that Zhang Jin looked familiar, so he turned around and asked, “Have I seen you somewhere?”
Zhang Jin put down the two swords in his hands, bowed slightly and said, “Hello, Sister Yang, I have been the stand-in for you and Zhang Ziyi in “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon” before.”
Yang Ziqiong suddenly said: “It turns out to be you, and now you are also an actor.”
When she talked about this, she was quite impressed. When she was filming “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon”, Zhang Ziyi didn’t know how to fight at all, and she did it every time.
I have been injured many times by her, but every time I use a substitute, I feel very comfortable.
Not only will the cooperation be good and there will be no mistakes, but even if you hit yourself, you will basically not be seriously injured.
Moreover, in the scene where I and Zhang Ziyi were fighting in the courtyard, taking turns using various weapons, my stand-in was this little boy. He really knew how to use all kinds of weapons, and he also taught me a lot of tips.
“Yes, I planned to become an actor not long after that. I’ve been working hard for so many years, and I’m doing pretty well.”
Yang Ziqiong encouraged, “Come on, your action just now is very unique. If it is filmed, it will definitely impress everyone.”
“I will, Sister Yang.”
Yang Ziqiong nodded and continued to look at the others. Yu Wenle’s flying needle was nothing. With so many people in the training room, it was definitely impossible for him to actually throw the flying needle.
What he practiced was just the action of sending needles. When filming, the flying needles basically used special effects.
But occasionally he would go to a corner alone and really stick some needles into things to enhance the realism.
One by one, he took her to get to know Yang Junyi, Wang Xueqi and others again.
Then Chen Shuo called Shu Chang and Fan Bingbing over and said, “Three of you, your movements in the play are basically the same, and they all feature a forty-one-way water-repelling sword technique.
However, depending on the character’s experience, each person’s swordsmanship characteristics are different.
Next, the three of them will practice together. What do you think, Sister Yang? “
Shu Chang and Fan Bingbing also looked at Yang Ziqiong, who was the smartest one.
Yang Ziqiong nodded noncommittally, pointed at the two of them and said, “You practice the moves first and I’ll take a look.”
Shu Chang and the other two looked at Chen Shuo, saw him nodding, and said, “Sister Yang, we are not professionals. Please forgive me if we don’t practice well.”
After that, he picked up the prop sword on the side and started practicing.
Although the two of them had practiced diligently in the past two days, they had no foundation after all, and the sword dance did not look good.
Even because of Fan Bingbing’s previous works, he didn’t have much time and focused on polishing the movements. The movements he made were not as comfortable as they were comfortable.
Yang Ziqiong looked at it for a while, then shook his head and called out. He turned to look at Chen Shuo and asked: “I heard that this water-bending sword technique was your idea and arrangement. Isn’t it just like this? Why don’t you let Director Cheng Come?”
Shu Chang and Fan Bingbing met and apologized quickly: “I’m sorry, we didn’t practice well.”
Yang Ziqiong ignored the two of them and just looked at Chen Shuo and said, “I think there are differences between acting and directing, and directing and action directors. Professional matters should be left to professionals.”
Chen Shuo smiled when he heard this and shouted to the side: “Brother Le, come here.”
“Here we come.” Yang Tianle, who was peeking over here, responded loudly, trotted over and asked, “Director Chen, what are your orders?”
“Let Sister Yang practice the water-bending sword technique again.”
“okay.”
Yang Tianle took the soft sword handed to him by Shu Chang, came to the field and danced the soft sword like a flying dragon surrounding it, fast and dense, as if water could not be poured into it.
The same sword technique in the hands of Yang Tianle and Shu Chang are completely different concepts.
