Chapter 423
"This is your weapon!"

Seeing director Rosen, looking at the metal prosthetic leg in his hand, finally have the chance to play the cripple this time?
"Your superhero is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people!" Rosen explained: "Although this is also a hero routine, I hope your role is more civilian. Although you used to be a fighting hero, if you lose a leg, it will be easier to resonate... "

Ding Cheng nodded. This is also the reason why he is willing to accept the script. He has never played such a role before.

Over the next few days, Rosen invited Paralympic athlete Glasleiner, a legend in the history of the sport, to ensure that he was portraying a believable amputee.

Lost a leg as a child, became an athlete, won many gold medals, and even climbed Mount Everest.

Provide relevant guidance to myself every day, such as how to install prosthetics, how to get down from a high place, and not to stay on the prosthetic...

Rosen looked at Ding Cheng, who quickly adapted. The professional high-altitude rock climbing training originally arranged was as easy as an adult playing house in front of the Oriental movie star...

Also drunk!

The filming officially started. The protagonist I played was injured in a hostage rescue ten years ago, and his leg was blown off and he retired.

Ten years later, he got married and had children, and was hired by a local tyrant as a security consultant for a skyscraper. The family lived peacefully, wearing suits and holding high-tech every day, patrolling everywhere in the building pretending to be aggressive.

In the end, I was so lucky that the old comrade who introduced me was the ghost sent by the terrorists. In order to lure my family away, the accomplices took the opportunity to sneak into the building to prevent fire. Who knew that there was an unexpected accident, and the mother and son had to return early.

The next thing is to do all kinds of cheating, even if you are lame, you can still do it!

Strictly speaking, tough guy action movies have long been one of the most vulgar and most streamlined movies in Hollywood.Almost the same plot direction, the same character relationship, family-centered story tension and thrilling and terrifying action scenes have become standard for this type of film.

In my opinion, the most attractive thing about this work is not the core idea of ​​family supremacy, but the director's strong control over the rhythm of the film and the strong rendering of the atmosphere.

Whether it is jumping from a crane into the opposite building or hovering outside the building tied to a thick rope, or in the middle of a sea of ​​fire, on a high platform, setting up planks to rescue her daughter and other thrilling and exciting action scenes...

Both create a fierce and tense martial arts rhythm through the soundtrack and editing, especially making full use of high-altitude scenes to firmly grasp the audience's emotions.

In fact, my role even has a bit of Cheng Long's routine: the core is that the master is at a disadvantage first.

On the one hand, it can show the transformation process from weak to strong, from defense to offense, more intuitively display strength, and at the same time shorten the distance between masters and audiences.

Integrating family elements allows the audience to experience the strong attraction flowing from this character.What's even more clever is that his disability can be closely integrated with the action scenes to highlight the character's characteristics.

The prosthetic leg, which is said to be made of the hardest metal, is often removed and smashed into the head, and then has to jump on one foot to maintain balance...

In the end, he fell from the building by mistake and had to sit upside down, grabbing the prosthetic limb that was about to fall off...

This is life!
It was also a strange experience to tie the calf behind the whole time during the shooting, wear a prosthetic leg on the knee, and then use special effects to fix it.

The combination of skyscrapers and action movies is not the first time, the earliest is Die Hard, from the core concept to the overall process. Ding Cheng suspects that the setting of making the protagonist lose a leg is also to achieve the similarity of the protagonist’s foot in the previous work to a certain extent. Effect?
Fortunately, the screenwriter simplifies the conflicts that the protagonist is caught in, and his family is happy, unlike Bruce Willis who needs to save the broken relationship between husband and wife.

In the early stage, the police mistook him for a villain, but the misunderstanding in this film was quickly resolved.

All visual spectacles are designed around skyscrapers, and no longer rely on gun battles and fighting scenes to stimulate the audience, which is also the biggest selling point.

Ding Cheng even thought of another work during the filming process, Fatty Wang's copycat version of "The Great and Powerful".

Although it is a counterfeit version, it is not inferior to the original version in terms of splendor. At the beginning, the Kung Fu Emperor failed to dismantle the bomb, resulting in the death of his wife and children. In the end, it was discovered that the bandit doctor who invaded the building was the one who killed his wife and children. Once in front of your eyes.

But this time, the bomb disposal was finally completed, and the hero saved the beauty, took revenge, and untied the heart knot.There is also the acting assist of the God of Songs, which was also a hit at the box office that year.

"Crack!"

"Perfect!"

Rosen watched Ding Cheng hugging his daughter tightly in the monitor, all the emotions were interpreted in those eyes, the feeling of surviving after a catastrophe is simply amazing!

Only by being there,

Only then can I understand how awesome this oriental actor is!
All the action scenes were basically passed through, as if any difficulties were not worth mentioning in front of him, such as high-altitude rock climbing... bungee jumping... climbing stairs with bare hands...

It's all pediatrics!
The literary drama is even more perfect, and it really shows that what is called a tough guy also has tenderness.

Facing the enemy with the coldness of sweeping thousands of troops,
Turning around to face his wife and children,
Transformed instantly,

seamless connection,

All kinds of complex emotions are as clear as a scalpel dissecting...

Show it to the audience bit by bit through the lens,
This is called divine acting!

After finishing the last scene, Ding Cheng felt average, far less than Neptune and Doctor Strange. Needless to say, the box office is definitely not as high as the former. This intuition is getting more and more accurate.

Of course, the investment is not large. As a tough guy popcorn, the director’s performance is not bad. Regardless of the advanced technological sense of the scene design, or the thrilling action design, especially the use of a large number of overhead shots when climbing the outer walls of skyscrapers , In the fight, he was only one step away from death many times...

All kinds of thrilling scenes not only whet the audience's appetite, but also bring out the preciousness of family affection, which is enough to make people desperate.A man's sense of responsibility and responsibility for the family is also vividly reflected.

Forget it, how many superheroes are there every year?
Tough guy is also a character design that I have been continuing. Whether it is a super hero or a civilian tough guy, as long as it is positive, it doesn't matter.
