Chapter 212 Opinions on the Filming of “Rising with the Coffin”
On the set, the interior layout has been completed.
White cloth was hung all over the hall, and a coffin was placed in the center. Wang Chongyang's name was clearly written on the tablet in front.
This scene is not unfamiliar to the audience.
After all, in order to explain why the big villain Ouyang Feng of Xidu has not appeared in the early stage, basically every version of "The Condor" will film this section.
Wang Chongyang knew that Ouyang Feng coveted the Nine Yin Scriptures. After knowing that his end was approaching, he had already made preparations and wanted to fake his death to trick Ouyang Feng into entering the game.
In order to break his toad skill, Wang Chongyang rushed to Dali in advance and exchanged the "innate skill" with Master Yideng for the "Yi Yang Finger".
During this period, there was also a small branch line about Zhou Botong and Yinggu, which was also mentioned in "The Condor"...
Wang Chongyang's one-yang finger directly broke Ouyang Feng's Toad Kung Fu, which cost him twenty years of skill and made him afraid to step into the Central Plains for many years.
Wang Chongyang, who did his last for the martial arts world, finally passed away...
Before the official filming, Wu Zhi from the crew had already come over and explained the upcoming martial arts moves with Huo Mingjie and Xu Jingjiang.
Xu Jingjiang plays the role of "Western Poison Ouyang Feng" in the play.
And this one is also familiar to the audience.
Leopard Head in "Nine Levels of Sesame Official", Obai in the movie "The Deer and the Cauldron", the Moon Worshiping Leader in "Sword of Immortals", and also acted in the very nice "Jade Futon: The Jade Girl's Heart Sutra"...
In fact, this version of "The Condor Shooting" decided to use a lot of special effects from the beginning.
Regarding the martial arts action in the play, especially the fight between top masters, in order to reflect the master's strength, it has already been decided that the fighting style will be based on special effects and supplemented by martial arts action.
In order to reflect the personality and internal strength characteristics of each master, the internal strength will even be manifested in different colors.
In the original version of "The Condor", in this scene of fake death, Wang Chongyang burst out of the coffin, and the golden inner power of his innate skills filled the mourning hall, directly controlling Ouyang Feng until he could not move.
Then when he used Yiyang Finger, the vast nebula even turned into a point and condensed on his fingertips. As soon as he pointed it out, the finger power, like a laser beam, shot out of the air and shot straight into the sky...
Well, the effect is a bit exaggerated. It is said that it does not look like a martial arts drama, but more like a fairy tale drama.
But in fact, judging from the audience’s evaluation of this film, the effect is quite good!
In short, many of the martial arts actions in this drama are in slow motion, which is not difficult for Huo Mingjie at all.
However, after a little comparison in his mind with Wang Chongyang's later version of "The Condor", Huo Mingjie couldn't help but immediately said:
"The action design in our drama is very different from what is described in the original work."
"Wang Chongyang in the original work just rises from the coffin, and then hits Ouyang Feng between his eyebrows with one Yang finger, without any other unnecessary movements."
Although the 17th version of "The Condor" is not well-known and has sluggish lines, it is barely the heroine Huang Rong, and Wang Chongyang, who only appeared for a few minutes, can leave an impression on people.
But compared to the degree of detail restoration, this version is still quite good.
Regarding Huo Mingjie's opinion, Wu Zhi was slightly stunned, and then hesitantly said:
"Rising with the coffin... I'm afraid it's not easy to present such an effect!"
In every previous version, it was after Ouyang Feng kicked the coffin board open that Wang Chongyang suddenly sat up from inside and took action.
What "rising with the coffin" is very troublesome when you hear it.
Moreover, the official shooting is about to begin, so if you just put forward such an opinion temporarily, it will make the shooting more difficult!
In fact, it was Huo Mingjie who gave the opinion at this time. Otherwise, if another actor had come over, Wu Zhi from the crew would not have been so polite.
Because he is now one of the two most popular artists in the company, and he is also the most special and independent one among the artists in the company.
Moreover, Huo Mingjie's reputation in the martial arts circle is quite high now!
Anyway, all the martial artists in this circle know that this actor named Huo Mingjie is very capable. You must be careful when working with him, otherwise you will easily be slapped in the face, or even ruin the reputation of your own martial arts team... …
Huo Mingjie organized his words in his mind, and then continued:
"Ouyang Feng opened the coffin, and the coffin boards flew up. When he lowered his head and looked down, he only saw scriptures inside, but not Wang Chongyang's body."
"When Ouyang Feng picked up the scripture and looked up, Wang Chongyang had already flown into the air along with the coffin board. Then he struck out unprepared and hit Ouyang Feng between the eyebrows with one finger..."
Huo Mingjie used his memory to describe the scene in the 17th version of "The Condor" that most praised and satisfied the audience.
Anyway, as far as this paragraph is concerned, it seems to be the best presentation. If you can copy it, you will naturally copy it...
When Wu Zhi heard this, his mind turned slightly.
According to Huo Mingjie's description, he roughly constructed a corresponding picture in his mind.
After a little comparison, it is easy to find that the idea proposed by Huo Mingjie is more concise and clear, not as muddled as the initial design, has a better look and feel, and is more in line with the description of the original work!
Wu Zhi hesitated for a moment, and then said directly:
"If this is the case, there are a lot of changes that need to be made, and I have to go talk to the director!"
After saying that, the military commander nodded to Huo Mingjie and left in a hurry.
Xu Jingjiang on the side had been silent just now.
At this moment, watching Wu Zhi leave in a hurry, he slowly turned to look at Huo Mingjie and said in a straightforward tone:
"Your idea is better!"
The character presented on the screen is basically a villain with an extremely flamboyant personality and behavior.
But in real life, this person has always been very quiet when getting along with others. He seems to be immersed in his own world most of the time, and he has a bit of an artist's temperament.
Well, in fact, he is indeed a painter, and he has even held art exhibitions...
When Huo Mingjie heard this, he immediately smiled politely and said:
"It's just an immature idea. It depends on the director's comprehensive consideration..."
At this time, Xu Jingjiang seemed to have no interest in this topic. When Huo Mingjie finished speaking, he nodded silently, then turned and left.
Huo Mingjie blinked, feeling a little envious of this man's way of getting along with others.
This kind of attitude towards others is Huo Mingjie's ideal attitude. He has always disliked these hypocritical politenesses!
It's just that he wants a lot of things, and he has to maintain a good attitude when socializing with others, so he can't be as "willful" as others...
