Chapter 100 Suit Thug Zhang Jin
Ever since Cao Qing and Wu Jing gave amazing performances that day, the entire crew of "The Grandmaster" was running fast like a bicycle chain that had just been lubricated, without any jamming at all.

Soon, it took only half a month or so, and nearly 1/4 of the footage of "The Grandmaster" has been shot.

And during this period of filming, due to the smooth filming process of the entire "The Grandmaster" crew, Cao Qing even had the opportunity to talk to Yin Tao on the phone every day, chat with Jin Xiaoxiao about work, and work with Lin Zhiling and others. Playing poker and so on, the little days are really very pleasant.

Moreover, during the filming of "The Grandmaster", Cao Qing's Tengda Film and Television Entertainment finally signed an artist again, and this artist was Zhang Jin who played the role of Ma Sanyi in the production team of The Grandmaster.

In fact, Cao Qing is somewhat familiar with Zhang Jin. In his previous life, he first got to know Zhang Jin from "Slaying the Wolf 2". At that time, in this drama, The fighting scene of Zhang Jin, Wu Jing, and Tony Jia is really shocking.

In this movie, although the role played by Zhang Jin at that time was just a warden who didn't have too much role, but in the whole movie of "Slaying the Wolf 2", his sense of presence is actually better than that of Wu Jing and Tony. The three of Jiagu Tianle are even stronger, and it can even be said that to a certain extent, they directly cover up the brilliance of the two protagonists, Wu Jing and Tony Jia.

Even Gu Tianle's performance in this movie, perhaps because there are only literary dramas, seems far less thrilling and memorable than Zhang Jin's.

In this movie, whether it's the scene where Zhang Jin is wearing a suit in the prison and beats up dozens of people, or at the end of the movie, he directly suppressed the protagonists Wu Jing and Tony Jia with one against two all the way to death. The violent battle scenes really caught Cao Qing's attention at the time.

What's more, at the end of this movie, even though Cao Qingming knew that the protagonist group would definitely win the final victory, Cao Qing still couldn't help but sweat deeply for Wu Jing and Tony Jia.

Moreover, even at the end of the movie, the role of the warden played by Zhang Jin was dead, Cao Qing still couldn't help but keep echoing in his mind the scene of him being invincible with one against two, and couldn't help but still In my mind, I imagined that if Zhang Jin hadn't been killed by the protagonist group because of the tie in the end, what other methods would the protagonist group have to deal with this ultimate boss who seemed to be invincible forever.

And just after this movie, Cao Qing had an impression of Zhang Jin, and because of him, Cao Qing understood for the first time what is called a real thug in a suit and the aesthetics of violence.

Even Cao Qing now looks at it from the perspective of a director, and he feels that the violent scene in which Zhang Jin is wearing a suit and tie and hitting dozens of times in Slaying Wolf 2 is enough to compare with that in the movie "Once Upon a Time". Li Lianjie and Zhao Wenzhuo's fight scenes were neck and neck and comparable to each other.

It was precisely because of this impression that when Zhang Jin joined the group, Cao Qing directly paid him liquidated damages and signed him from the original film and television company.

And this year's Zhang Jin, because he just retired from the martial arts team and joined Yuan Jiaban as a martial arts substitute the year before last, so he is still unknown in the entertainment industry.

Even though today's Zhang Jin has already acted as the stand-in for Jiao Enjun in Xiao Li Feidao, and the martial arts instructor who made Zhang Ziyi and Yang Ziqiong sad in the crew of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", in any case he has not yet moved from behind the scenes. In front of the stage.

The entertainment industry is a place that pays most attention to seniority and seniority, and Zhang Jin is the lowest-ranking martial artist in the entertainment industry. No matter how good his martial arts resume is, it will not improve him as a actor's value.

No matter how you look at it, the current Zhang Jin is not worth much. Cao Qing's Tengda Film and Television Entertainment Company has picked up a good mistake on this point.

And Zhang Jin's performance after signing with Tengda Film and Television Entertainment Company did not live up to Cao Qing's expectations. His performance in the crew for a while has been remarkable.

Even because of his outstanding performance, it is also to promote him as soon as possible.

For this reason, Cao Qing not only directly erased Xiao Shenyang's funny and failed character played in the original movie "The Grandmaster" which completely did not fit the serious tone of the whole movie, but also completely erased his part in the movie. All the time was given to the role of Ma San, directly doubling Ma San's role in the movie The Great Master.

……

On June 2000, 6, the 28th day after the movie "The Grandmaster" was launched, the filming crew of "The Grandmaster" was busy working on the next filming work in a restaurant-style house in the Hengdian Film and Television City shooting site Prepare.

And when the staff of the film crew in the house were busy, a large circle of people tightly surrounded the center of the house. In the center of this group of people, Zhang Jin was wearing a dark red Confucian shirt. With a straight face and cold eyes like a sword, the scene between the two sides is on the verge of breaking out.

For the scene in the center of the room that could be triggered at any time, Cao Qing smiled, and kept shaking the viewfinder in his hand to adjust the picture, slowly focusing on Zhang Jin in the center of the room as much as possible from various aspects such as light and composition. The scene of being besieged by a large group of people is elegantly constructed, trying to come close to the oil painting-like artistic scene in the original film.

Soon, after a period of adjustment and composition, the light picture in the viewfinder in Cao Qing's hand began to become particularly harmonious, and at this moment, all the scenes conceived in Cao Qing's mind for this picture have finally been almost achieved. .

Seeing this, Cao Qing, who finally managed to meet the requirements, let out a quick cut, which immediately made Zhang Jin and others who had been in a daze for a long time liven up in an instant.

They were like human statues that had just woken up from a deep sleep. At the moment when the cut sounded from Cao Qing's mouth, they fought into a mess in an instant.

"With this ability, you dare to challenge the old man?"

"Go back and tell the surname Ye that I, Ma San, was helping the old man at the retirement ceremony of the northern boxer. If you want to see the temple, burn incense and enter the mountain gate to worship the real Buddha, you have to pass my Ma San first!"

As he spoke, Zhang Jin ran around and fought with the martial arts members surrounding him with extremely sharp movements.

"OK is very good, what I want is this pair of extremely fierce fists and kicks."

"Zhang Jin, you and your brothers and sisters are indeed from the same martial arts Yuan family class, and the cooperation rate in fighting is high."

"In the fighting action just now, except for a few small fighting details that I'm not satisfied with, and a few scenes that were obscured by your large movements during the fight, I watched the rest and felt that it should be fine. Big problem.”

"Let's do this, let's continue shooting two or three sets of this shot together. You should pay attention as much as possible. When I go to edit, I will directly choose the one with the best performance among these sets of shots as the feature film of the movie." .”

"Here, I have to work hard for you all. After all the posing and fighting just now, you should be tired by now. Let's drink some Jianlibao to replenish your energy before continuing to shoot."

After shooting a set of shots, Cao Qing waved to Zhang Jin, Yuan Jiaban and others in the middle of the venue, and after calling them all together, Cao Qing spoke kindly with a smile on his face.

And just as he said these words, Jin Xiaoxiao, who is better at how to understand people's hearts and appease employees than Cao Qing, happened to pinch the moment he just finished speaking, and directly directed the crew to move A large box of Jianlibao was carried to Zhang Jin and the members of the Yuan family's martial arts class.

Hearing Cao Qing's words, Zhang Jin and the others immediately cheered and ran to the surrounding area of ​​the shooting site, one after another, the bottles of Jianlibao that had just been placed on the ground raised their heads and drank wildly.

After drinking and resting like this, Zhang Jin, who was in good condition, and those members of the Yuan family's martial arts class, quickly and smoothly presented the violent aesthetics that Cao Qing wanted to shoot. Cao Qing couldn't be happier, and couldn't help but praise them in front of the whole crew.

As for Zhang Jin and the Yuan Jiaban martial arts members who were praised by Cao Qing, I don't know whether it was because they were in a good mood today or because they were really lucky today.

During the next few days of filming, they all performed very well, and they directly filmed the scene about Zhang Jin's violent smashing in the Golden Tower in just three days.

After filming the scene of violently smashing up the Jinlou, I already had an idea in my mind about how Ma San, played by Zhang Jin, would perform in detail and how to plan the fighting moves in detail. The original movie fighting scenes were used as reference, but Cao Qing still had to discuss this aspect bit by bit with the crew's martial arts director Yuan Heping.

In this way, in the process of discussion and discussion, in order to make the fighting scenes in the following movies as similar as the original movies as possible, Cao Qing had to often act like a big horse monkey, working hard on Yuan He's plane. Try to use actions to express the thoughts in your heart.

It is precisely because of this that it is clear that Cao Qing should only learn Wing Chun in this movie, but after discussing with Mr. Yuan Heping for several months, in the end he learned a complete set of basics just like Zhang Jin. Baguazhang method.

Slowly, with Cao Qing and Mr. Yuan Heping's attitude of striving for excellence, the role of Ma San in the movie "The Great Master" continued to increase in plot weight at the beginning, and even directly ran through the entire film in the end. , has become a character whose role is close to the skyline.

And because of the spark resonance generated by Cao Qing and Mr. Yuan Heping's constant collision with each other during this period of time, Cao Qing directly integrated the classic actions in the later movies "The Grandmaster", "Slaying the Wolf" and "The Fuse" All of them have been moved into the first generation of masters, which perfectly fills in the fighting scenes that King Sunglasses lacked in the original film of the first generation of masters.

As for the fighting scenes that Cao Qing and Yuan Heping said to re-join in the discussion in the past few months, whether it is Zhang Jin who plays Ma San or Wu Jing who plays the first-line sky, they are all willing to shoot again and accept This improvement.

"Very well, with this change, I believe that after our movie is released in the future, not only the audience will be shocked by the super classic fighting scenes in our movie, even those who also shoot action scenes Directors, actors, martial arts members, and martial arts instructors will also regard our film as a necessary textbook for shooting action scenes."

"Xiao Cao, if I hadn't met you, I, Yuan Heping, would never have believed that someone who never learned martial arts could design so many classic and reasonable fighting moves. You really shocked me."

"I feel that it's a pity that you become a film director without the path of martial arts. I think you should be a genius in martial arts."

"As an old man, after these few months of getting along, I would like to give you a suggestion. If you are free in the future, you might as well learn more about those martial arts routines, so that you can not only strengthen your body, but also maybe in the future our film and television There will be one more top martial artist in the world."

Next to the shooting site, Yuan Heping looked at Cao Qing who was in the center of the shooting site and was carefully pointing Zhang Jin on how to use his fighting moves more gracefully. He couldn't help but smiled and walked into the center of the site and patted Cao Qing on the shoulder.

"Don't worry, Mr. Yuan, after practicing martial arts for a period of time and talking with you, I have decided to go directly to major boxing gyms to learn martial arts as soon as the filming of this film is finished."

"Of course, I'm not a martial artist after all, so I don't require myself to be able to practice these martial arts very well. As a director who needs to shoot fighting action scenes, I only need to understand some martial arts routines."

"Only in this way can I perfectly portray the fighting scenes in my heart when shooting movies and TV dramas, so as not to make some low-level jokes in front of the crew's martial arts director."

For the words of Mr. Yuan who came to the center of the venue and patted him on the shoulder earnestly, Cao Qing quite recognized and agreed. At the same time, he also smiled and directly told Mr. Yuan Heping that he would go to study immediately after finishing the movie. Martial arts idea.

In this way, Yuan Heping, who felt that his ideas were recognized, couldn't help but have a better impression of Cao Qing, and the two chatted happily for a while.
