This actor needs more money

Ding Xiu did not take the cigarette that Ma Dongxiu handed him, but looked at the butt of the cigarette that was still half in his hand, and said without raising his eyes:

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

This tall man looked very strong and a real violent maniac, but after getting along with him for a while, Ding Xiu found that he was actually very careful and a person who knew how to watch people's emotions.

I am very devoted to the acting industry, and I am more or less a drama addict. I study scripts and ponder acting skills and roles when I have nothing to do.

bother you for something.

I came here to hand him a cigarette. I probably wanted to ask him something.

"Brother Xiu, I'm not sure about a scene later, and I'd like to ask you to help me see if there's anything I need to point out."

Facing Ding Xiu, who was smaller than himself, Xiao Ma was very polite and smiled the whole time.

He was also scared of being beaten.

This yellow-skinned guy looks weak, but it really hurts to hit someone.

The two of them had fought before, and the other party threw him over the shoulder and knocked him, a 90-kilogram man, to the ground.

It hurts when I hit someone with my fist, it's incredibly hard.

Before the filming started, everyone had martial arts training. In just one morning, the crew's martial arts instructor started handing cigarettes to Ding Xiu.

Well, this martial arts instructor is still a retired professional Sanda practitioner.

"Okay, I'll go take a look later." Ding Xiu nodded lightly, which was regarded as an agreement.

"Thank you, thank you Brother Xiu." Putting his hands together, Ma Dongxi smiled and prepared to leave: "I'll treat you to dinner after work ends tonight."

Ding Xiu said nothing and waved his hand impatiently.

Filming here in Korea is not as easy as in China, it is very tiring, and most of the scenes have to be done by the actors themselves.

As one of the protagonists, he has many roles and doesn't have much rest time throughout the day.

I rarely have free time, and I don’t want to waste it on eating and socializing.

After a while, it was Ma Dongxi's turn.

After all, this is an urban film, not a martial arts film. The fights are in a simple modern style and the action is not difficult.

It’s difficult because the actors don’t know how to do it.

"Don't come over, I'll stab anyone who comes over!"

In the crowd, two gangsters played by extras each took a dagger and were about to strike, surrounded by ordinary people who were watching.

Not far away, a silver-white modern car stopped, and a man in a suit and shirt stepped out of the car while talking on the phone.

Pushing through the crowd, he came to the gangster with the knife.

Grabbing the opponent's wrist, he flicked the dagger to the ground.

A dispute was resolved neatly. At this time, the phone was not disconnected and I was still chatting with people.

When he saw the police rushing in to control the suspect, he left without looking back.

"Click!"

The director shouted "Click" and prepared to shoot the next shot from a different angle.

He also felt there was nothing wrong with it.

But Ma Dongxiu stopped and asked Ding Xiu, who was wearing a coat and watching the show: "Brother Xiu, what do you think?"

Ding Xiu was speechless. He originally thought it was some big scene before he called him over, but it turned out to be just a few seconds of fighting.

Just these few moves can be done by any martial arts instructor who knows a little bit about martial arts in China.

However, one thing to say is that the martial arts instructors in Korea are really bad.

It's not that he doesn't know real Kung Fu. On the contrary, the martial arts instructor is a Sanda athlete and is very professional.

But being professional does not mean knowing how to design actions.

Actual combat and performance are completely different things.

What’s important in filming is to look good.

At the moment, this martial arts instructor has not done the most basic dazzling skills well. He only has two simple movements, which are mediocre and do not highlight the characteristics of the horse at all.

Ding Xiu waved his hand towards Ma Dongxiu, motioning him to get out of the way: "Call the extras over here, and I'll demonstrate it again."

In the exact same scene, Ding Xiu tilted his head, entered the room on the phone, and walked over from behind the knife-wielding gangster.

First, he patted the young gangster on the shoulder. After waiting for the other person to turn around, he grabbed his wrist and bent it hard.

"ah!"

The gangster screamed and the knife in his hand fell to the ground.

Ding Xiu didn't care so much, he casually raised his leg and kicked his opponent's calf.

"thump!"

The little bastard knelt down on one knee.

After doing all this, the whole process took less than three seconds, Ding Xiu made a phone call and left.

It seemed that the conversation on the phone was unpleasant and he was in a bad mood before he came back and gave the little gangster a big pocket.

He cursed: "Assi!"

The extra actors who played the gangsters were all confused. They were beaten and scolded without any explanation. The whole time they had no idea why the person in front of them was crazy.

But from a third-party perspective, it’s a different feeling.

This scene is the first appearance of the police officer Ma Dongxi. There is not much introduction, but this person's character can be seen from this short plot.

The previous version played by Ma Dongxi was also quite good, giving people the feeling of a righteous and experienced veteran policeman.

This version of Ding Xiu also has justice, but it has an added sense of relaxation and is stronger than Ma Dongxi in terms of force value.

The most outstanding thing is that his character, Officer Ma, is a bit more naughty and funny.

If you are in a bad mood, you will come back and slap the criminal in the mouth, which shows that this person is eclectic in doing things and is not a traditional hard-nosed person.

To say he is a rogue police officer is an understatement.

But because of his age, he seems to have rich experience and is not an ordinary young man.

"Bah bang bang!"

"good!"

"Well done!"

Suddenly, the director led the applause.

What he wants from Officer Ma is the state Ding Xiu was in just now.

Flexible and changeable, eclectic, and at the same time jealous of evil, but also with the stability of a middle-aged man and the tact of years of handling cases.

The version played by Ma Dongxiu was also okay, but it was not as relaxed and... rogue as Ding Xiu.

Yes, this character has a bit of a gangster vibe, which makes it more three-dimensional. This is something I just noticed.

Ding Xiu shrugged, put on his coat, and explained to Ma Dongwu the key points of folding the wrists and sweeping the legs: "Grab the wrists, don't press too hard, just cooperate with the group."

"When you sweep your legs, you need to have momentum and move your center of gravity downwards...Don't use your five fingers to hit the mouth. Use your palms as much as possible to look more powerful, but you have to hold back, otherwise it's easy to hurt the actor."

This is not his first time as a martial arts instructor. Ding Xiu is very experienced in how to train actors to fight.

The tricks are taught in just a few minutes.

After finishing speaking, regardless of how much Ma Dongxi listened, he took the cigarette handed over by the director, took a puff, lifted the collar of his windbreaker, and turned around to leave.

Leaving everyone with the back view of a big boss.

"He is indeed the most powerful action actor, so strong." Ma Dongxi gave him a thumbs up at his back.

The director also sighed: "Ding Xiu is the person who has the deepest understanding of martial arts movements that I have ever seen. It would be a pity not to go to Hollywood."

But Ma Dongxi shook his head: "Hollywood doesn't need good action actors, they only need gorgeous special effects. If he passes by, he will really be buried."

"In the whole world, only the Chinese market can allow his kung fu to flourish."

Looking around the world, there are only a few countries that are most famous for their film industry, and each place has its own unique characteristics.

French films are romantic and sensational, American films have powerful special effects, and science fiction films are popular all over the world.

Japan and South Korea are famous for their low-cost films and are good at shooting small people.

As for Chinese movies, kung fu movies are the best, with too many martial arts stars and martial arts teams.

People like Cheng Long and Li Lienjie also entered Hollywood.

Looking around the world, in the field of kung fu movies, they dare to say that they are second, and no one dares to say that they are first.

Many countries want to copy their kung fu, but they have failed. They can't learn it at all, and it doesn't look good even if they learn it. It's weird.

It’s not like I haven’t been taught by a Chinese martial arts team, so it’s difficult to learn.

Just a sentence of harmony between hands and feet, harmony between elbows and knees, harmony between shoulders and hips, harmony between spirit and mind, harmony between mind and qi, and harmony between qi and mind will make foreigners unable to understand it for the rest of their lives.

Well, this was what Ma Dongxi heard from Ding Xiu.

A while ago, he wanted to learn kung fu, and Ding Xiu said this to him, asking him to understand before he spoke.

He went back and looked up a lot of information, but didn't understand a word.

I asked a translator who knew Chinese, and the translator seemed to translate it to him with a slightly different meaning.

Anyway, I just can’t understand it.

Afterwards, he asked Ding Xiu for advice again, but Ding Xiu just smiled and said nothing.

Traditional martial arts are inherently linked to history and humanity. If you don’t understand history and traditional culture, you won’t be able to understand Chinese martial arts.

If foreigners can learn it, they will be lucky.

The Outer Sanhe and the Inner Sanhe are better, but if the mind wanders randomly and the energy sinks into the Dantian, I'm afraid it won't make me even more confused.

For foreigners to learn traditional kung fu, the best they can do is to learn a little bit.

And to be honest, these kung fu skills themselves are not suitable for them, just like sailors only look good if they wear Japanese uniforms.
