. "Huh, da..."

"Heath, your steps are calmer. Now walk directly over, grab his shoulder with your left hand, punch his face with your right hand, and then pull him."

In the very wide and huge motion capture stage room of the Flame Electrical Production and Photography Factory, the crew of "Firefly" is busy carrying out martial arts collections that have been underway for many days, and the martial arts team is also designing experimental shots. At this time, the team members, nearly three times the leading stunt actors are either slowly designing the movements or doing a scene drill smoothly. In fact, this work has started for a long time before the collection of blades.

There are many action scenes in "Firefly", including huge, indoor, including gunfights, spaceship battles, and close-up fighting scenes. Robert Downey Jr., Daniel Wu, Heath-Ledger, Gina Toris, Jessica... Alba and other starring actors with martial arts scenes must undergo special kung fu training, and different training contents and different training intensity will be formulated according to each person's actual role situation and his own fighting foundation.

The continuous martial arts scenes in the script include Captain Mar, Jane, Zoe and others vs Reva: Blue Gloves vs Civilians, Blue Gloves vs Star Alliance Police Cretitives, Blue Gloves vs Predators Group, Blue Gloves vs Mar; Reva vs Civilians, Reva vs Blue Gloves, Reva vs Predators Group, etc.

In terms of character combat effectiveness, Ruiva is the first, and Blue Gloves are the second. Due to the character setting, the "Blue Gloves" equipment has huge power and can be dissolved. When fighting against the "monster group", Heath and Ledger are relatively easy to use: only when there are no gloves and other equipment in the end, the game against Mar and Reava is really good, so relatively speaking, Heath...Ledger's special mission is not heavy.

If "The Black Face Empire" is Keanu-Rives, "The Legend of the Night" is Kate-Bakinsale, then "Firefly" will be Jessica... Alba, the focus of the film's gunfight is not her, but the martial arts scene is Ruiva. So it's natural that although Jessica has first-class dance skills and a good foundation in non-martial arts performers, she is still the one who has the hardest training. She is at least 7 hours a day, so tired that she lie down and falls asleep at night, and her newlywed life comes to an abrupt end.

At this time, Jessica was also training her punching speed not far away, sweating, and shouting from time to time: She just practiced hanging steel wire in mid-air not long ago. It seemed very simple to lift steel wire, but in fact, it was very difficult to maintain body balance in the air, then control the movement of limbs, make kicks, hits, etc., and it required enough strength and balance to do it.

"It's getting more and more terrifying..." Seeing her fierceness show, Joshua, who was watching the support, gritted his teeth. Her combat power increased sharply, which was not a good thing for him.

Robert Downey Jr., Daniel Wu and others also worked hard under the guidance of the martial arts assistants; Heath... Ledger is cooperating with director Wang Yang, the action guide Donnie Yen, practicing some storyboard shots.

The action director of "Firefly" finally came to Donnie Yen. The 40-year-old Donnie Yen learned a variety of fighting skills since childhood. He was discovered by Yuan Heping in Hong Kong in the 1980s, thus starring in a series of action films. He is considered Yuan Heping's apprentice. However, this important member of the Yuan family class soon came from the team. In addition to his acting career, he also directed films such as "Wolf Warrior Tangshan"; he served as the martial arts finger for films such as "Blade Warrior 2" in 2002 and "Shanghai Noon 2" in 2003, and gradually became famous around the world.

Wang Yang did not look for the famous Yuan Heping, who worked happily with Ang Lee, Quentin Tarantino, and the brothers of Dowsky, and did not look for Cheng Xiaodong, who was also very famous, but did not seek to be innovative. It was just that Cheng Xiaodong was too elegant and beautiful, and Yuan Heping's strength was not his ideal style; Besides, he was not a director who could not fight, and Yuan Heping's style would be too affecting his first trial of martial arts, and even in the future, he needed more dominance, more suitable feelings and styles.

But he didn't want the kind of cruelty of "Blade 2", he didn't want the similar "Night Resident Hate Kill Bill"...

"I want to fight very explosively, and it has nothing to do with the scene, props, and the effect. It's just that it's very fierce, sharp, rough, and the bursting feeling of bang bang bang bang! It's very heavy, speed, strength, but sometimes it can be a very soft move, which is skillful. Ruiva should be like Tai Chi, with a little bit of elegance, but not too much, and it has the sense of impact and weight of Bajiquan; the blue gloves are cleaner and neat, and they are specialized in hitting the point of being killed. When there are gloves, they are extremely powerful, and when there are no, they are as fast and strong as Muay Thai; Mar is more thrilling, and Jane pays more attention to strength and expresses crazy..."

Of course, this is not "Wing Chun" or "Ip Man". The design action shots do not matter whether it is Tai Chi, Ba Ji or Muay Thai. They are all a kind of "kung fu" after fusion, or the fight is like actual combat, and there is no fixed routine. You can use it as you are good at it, and you can play it as you look good.

If you hold on to the move routines during actual combat, you will definitely die miserably. You can fight whatever you want. Maybe in the same move, different schools have different folding techniques and different move names, but in the end, they are often similar. Although the right way is to integrate them, the schools always have different styles, especially the styles on the screen. How to achieve this fusion and smooth and unified styles is the problem that the director and martial arts commander need to solve.

Wang Yang has had many martial arts ideas since he was a child and often designed some fighting scenes without plots. After many communication, Donnie Yen can understand his country and his sharp style is also suitable for style, so when Ni Yizhen took away the title of "Firefly" action director.

At the director's order, Heath Ledger, who was standing on a large blue pad, responded, and walked slowly and calmly towards the male martial artist who was walking a few steps ahead. The male martial artist opened his hands and rushed towards him fiercely. Heath Ledger sideways to avoid it. His left hand wearing blue gloves directly grabbed the male martial artist's shoulder, and his right hand quickly and without forcefully punched him in the face. He pulled him suddenly as if he was hugging him, and said softly: "Thank you."

This is a very important line of Blue Glove in the script. His language style is very concise and direct. Often, a sentence has only a few words, almost everyday words. His actions do not require explanation or nonsense, except for a few scenes: and after every killing, Blue Glove will say "Thank you", no matter what is dead are predators, innocent civilians, Star Alliance officials, gangsters, and anyone.

Heath-Ledger was still wondering what tone to use to say "Thank you". The blue gloves killed countless people in the whole script. Is there any difference between each sentence "Thank you"?

"Very good!" Wang Yang clapped his hands and praised. The effect was good. If you follow the storyboard script and storyboard, then the entire raider will explode and melt into a pool of water. This is the ability of "Blue Gloves".

S...Ledger continued to practice. After getting along these days, he found that this young director seemed to like to say "very good" and would encourage and praise everything. Compared with the set of "Brokeback Mountain", it is simply a "beautiful new world". The set of "Brokeback Mountain" and other sentences "It's good to do" and "very good" is so rare. He is very energetic when he hears it, but now... he is a little nervous.

But this feeling is really good! I hope this great director won't turn his back on filming like Ang Lee. Heath... These thoughts flashed through Ledger's heart, and he felt that he was ridiculous... He must be praised by others and given sweet candy, so he was happy, but he admitted it.

"I'll go over there and take a look." Wang Yang patted Donnie Yen on the shoulder and asked him to continue to be responsible for the movement design of Heath-Ledger, and then walked towards the other leading actors: "Robert, you have some muscles, but you don't have strength and speed. You can't punch quickly. Practice how to exert force!" Downey, who was sweating, shouted: "I don't have strength? Wrestle the arm with me!" Wang Yang turned and left with a ridiculous look: "Why should I win with my defeated opponent? It's so stupid. Hi, Susan! What's wrong?"

"This is a challenge!" Donnie's roar suddenly stopped halfway, and saw the brown-haired woman in front of him, one of the long strings of producer names in "Firefly", Susan and Levine, his old face suddenly changed, and he greeted him happily: "Hi, Susan!" Susan smiled and said: "Hi."

Watching Wang Yang and Susan... Levine talked about the management of the stand-in actor, and walked away until he couldn't even hear the sound. Donnie came back to his senses and continued to practice. Is his life to end his singleness coming?

"Daniel, your fist is heavier, smash it down like a hammer! Then your feet, like this!", "Come on, come on! Very good!", "Jessica, you slide over like a horse without really a horse, and then go sideways and give the raider on the left a few quick punches, his chest, neck, and face!"...

Wang Yang walked around the motion capture stage room, running all over the room, demonstrating the movements for the leading actors, discussing the camera design with Donnie Yen. Seeing everyone punching their legs, sweating slightly, he felt more and more itchy and wanted to fight! He had no physical entertainment activities lately at night, and he fell from the peak to the bottom. He was so crazy! He couldn't disturb the leading actors' practice. He looked at Donnie Yen next to him with his chin. It was a bit not enough...

"I want to hit ten!" On the blue cushioned stage, Wang Yangpeng set off his posture, looked at the martial arts members of the surrounding action team, and his face was stunned. He clasped his fists and said, "Come here! I need to experiment and stimulate some shots in person."

"Huh, wow..."

One morning was spent in the flame studio. Just like the tracks a few days ago, Wang Yang came to the Image Engine headquarters on Fifth Avenue in West Vancouver in the afternoon. A special effects company has funds, talents, and technology. What does it mean? Now the image engine is one of the top special effects companies in the industry. It is not as good as the leading company Industrial Light and Magic, but it is not inferior to the Vita Studio of "The Lord of the Rings 3". It has begun to have some leading technologies in animals, motion capture, explosions, etc.

In addition to specializing in film and television works such as "Raging Speed" by Flame Group, the Image Engine is not living a leisurely life. It has participated in the special effects production of many blockbusters and has just taken over part of the CG drawing business of "Sin City". Now every animator and member of the Image Engine know that the 200 million-dollar investment will carry them to the Oscar Best Visual Effects Award.

In the same company, "Firefly" naturally followed the special effects team of "The Ninth District". Visual effects director: Sean - Walsh, Richard Kidd: Sean - Walsh is also responsible for the computer production director, and the captain of the special effects team: Steve - Nicolas is the animation director, modeler Brian... Mike and other teams have hundreds of people. CG masters and special effects talents from all over the world are enough to make any director's imagination come true.

"Yang, are you okay? What's the problem?" In the office, the round table was filled with drawings, and the computer screen was showing a rotating 3D firefly spacecraft. Sean looked at Wang Yang suspiciously. This young director grinned. Is there any dissatisfaction?

Having worked together for a long time, Sean knew that Wang Yang's ideas have always been novel and amazing. He always demanded that they pursue perfection. Even the shrimp insects with more than 4,000 pixels said, "Can it be more authentic?" Now these spacecraft, science fiction cities, etc. are not comparable to shrimp insects. Fortunately, the technology is the same and advanced, mud carving modeling, 3D scanning, topological skeletonization... The prototype of this Ning Jing is "very smooth and soft", and magical Yang wants to "textured".

Of course, Ning Jing has not yet made formal texture maps. This is exactly the strength of the image engine and the principle of the shrimp man. As long as you add materials one by one, you can make the pixels as high as 4,000,5,000, you can be vivid and lifelike. Even "Star Wars Prequel 3" is not so delicate. However, the materials required for those maps need to be made; various parameters need to be slowly debugged... Special effects production has always been a boring cause that requires patience.

"No, I'm fine." Wang Yang shrugged, and swung his left hand hard for a few more times. He was so happy that he was happy, but he was beaten very hard. He had to apply some medicinal wine when he went back to the apartment at night.

He scanned the table at Sean...Walsh, Varre-Fist, Art Director Kevin-Cavanaff and others, and continued: "I hope our special effects can be expressed more in some scene details, in other words, creating a sci-fi world feeling."

Wang Yang picked up a drawing on the table, and everyone saw the lively urban streets on the paper, and he said again: "Because this is a desolate and backward galaxy edge, just like the west, there is no clean science fiction like the center of the galaxy, but some details must be different from 2004. What about the traffic lights in the future? Then today another topic is, regarding the special effects and shooting of martial arts scenes, we know that we must be inseparable from using high-speed cameras to shoot some slow motion because I like slow motion."

"Haha!" Everyone chuckled with a smile. Slow motion is indeed one of Shenqiyang's favorites, and it seems that there are many in every movie.

"Since the bullet time of "The Matrix", it seems that high-speed cameras have changed from prada to casualcorner overnight, from Cannes to Hollywood, everyone is using it! But so what? I believe that high-speed cameras still have a lot of charm, not just bullet time, we can find some novel and suitable effects. In fact, I have tried to use a high-speed camera to shoot a cheek and be hit by a punch, which is very beautiful! Those facial muscles, the whole head will tremble and twist like water waves..."

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Vancouver under the night, in the spacious living room. Listening to the screams that seemed to be painful and refreshing, Danny wagged his tail uneasyly, and was so anxious that he was around the sofa. Jessica frowned tightly on her eyebrows, bit her silver teeth, and her slender left leg rested on Wang Yang's knees. He applied some medicinal wine to his hand, smeared around her left ankle, and asked, "How do you feel?" Jessica sighed with pleasure: "Oh good..."

Wang Yang smiled and continued to massage. Looking at the delicate feet and ecstasy calf, he couldn't help but mutter: "But I don't do it!" She didn't sprain her ankle. Applying medicinal wine only eliminates the fatigue accumulated by joints. However, the high-intensity training these days also caused her to suffer a lot. After the filming started, she looked up at her and asked, "Is it very hard?"

It's only been more than a week now. Can her body hold up this intensity of kung fu training? He is really worried that if a person is in a state of fatigue for a long time, he will easily get sick, especially for a person like her who is born with a congenital lack of resistance and immunity... Can he really be unable to achieve literature and martial arts?

"Thank you hard, but I'm fine! I enjoy it." Jessica giggled. Although she was not as happy as a honeymoon when she returned to work, this week was indeed very fulfilling. She knew that the more sweat she sweated, the better "Firefly" would be. "Please!" Seeing the worry on his face, how could he not know what he was thinking? It was so annoying! Jessica was a little angry: "Sometimes I really want to beat you up, don't think I'm a vase! It's just beautiful, it's broken when you touch it." Wang Yang said repeatedly: "What are you saying, I don't."

She kicked him with her left foot and said seriously: "I know you don't, but you care too much about me. I know kung fu, I know yoga, I know street dance... Even if I suffer any hardship, as long as I don't have naked or kiss, I can do it!" She shouted: "Jessica - you can do it! I can do it!"

"Of course!" Listening to her huge shouting and the echoes in the room, Wang Yang nodded, putting aside his concerns, just as she believed in him, he also chose to believe her and support her unconditionally, and said seriously: "You can do it!!"
Chapter completed!
