Chapter 83 Little Song Jia
The filming of "The Grandmaster" took three years, and the preparation time included nearly ten years.
Tony Leung Chiu-wai studied Wing Chun for one year, and Zhang Zhen studied Xingyi for three years, so that he could show something decent in the film.
But that was the King of Sunglasses. He had the luxury of spending money, so many people rushed to give him money to make movies for him.
Xu Haofeng thought hard for a week, but realized that learning a boxing technique in two months was a bit wishful thinking, so he decided to just start it and called the diligent Liao Fan:
"If you can practice it well, we will say it is Wing Chun in the movie. If you can't practice it well, we will give it another name."
Liao Fan took a long drag on his cigarette. He felt that the other party was using provocation.
"Don't worry, I'll try my best to practice it well."
Liao Fan hung up the phone and exhaled a long stream of smoke, feeling a little tangled in his heart.
"What did the director say?" Chen Zhixing did not hear the content of the conversation.
Liao Fan opened his mouth, his eyes flickered, and he sighed: "He said that if we don't practice well, we will replace him. He has plenty of resources."
...
There are two more diligent figures in the martial arts school.
Ever since he was provoked by Liao Fan, he also kept up with his biological clock, getting up at four o'clock and going to bed at ten o'clock.
Counting the half month he spent in Jinmen, he has already invested more than a month in "Master".
The sunk cost was so high that he could no longer afford to leave, so he could only work harder to keep up with Liao Fan's pace.
After all, it would be too embarrassing if someone replaced him.
"Your posture is almost ready. Next, you need to learn the content of the Eight-Zhan Sword."
Gao Fengxian has sufficient teaching experience and knows that these actors come here just for temporary work.
After arriving at the set, they had their own martial arts skills. Most of the time they just put on a posture.
Therefore, the teaching content is not about how standard it is, but how to make it look good and make the audience look like it is what it is.
Although the two of them have some talent, martial arts training itself is a grind, and even practicing routines takes a year or two to achieve initial results.
"This eight-cut sword is a high-level weapon of Wing Chun. It emphasizes blocking with one hand and attacking with the other, integrating offense and defense."
Gao Feng took out the knife first and asked Chen Zhixing and Chen Zhixing to weigh it and get a feel for the weight.
When Chen Zhixing took it in hand, he saw that the blade had no edge, but the blade was shiny and reflective. However, the image of the knife was a little different from what he had seen in the movie.
For example, the Eight-Zhan Knife in "Ip Man" is wide and large, like a kitchen knife equipped with a guard, while the knife in front of you is narrow and short, the blade is sharper, and the length of the blade is only about one foot.
As if seeing doubts in their eyes, Gao Fengxian explained: "Most of what you see in movies and TV dramas are butterfly knives, which are wider and more suitable for performances. Even Mr. Ye Zhun used them when he was on the show.
All are in the butterfly knife mode, which looks clearer and the butterfly knife is safer.
Let me first show you several ways to use the Eight-Zhan Sword. The first is the Spreading Sword..."
As he spoke, he swung the sword with both hands and flew left and right, standing on the same spot with his feet, a pair of short knives going back and forth around his body, maintaining the posture he said of using one hand to block and the other to draw out the knife.
"The Eight-Zhan Sword is short, so it doesn't have chopping movements. It mostly focuses on stabbing and slashing."
It doesn't look very pretty, but it's very well behaved.
After sheathing the knife and turning around, Gao Feng said first: "This Eight-Zhan Sword is a controlled knife. The tip of the knife is too sharp and is easy to be injured. Use this when you practice."
He turned around and took out two pairs of knives from the box behind him. Not only were they not sharpened, but the tips of the knives had also been repaired to make them more rounded.
"You just practice straight thrusts with straight raises. Remember that the horse stance cannot be deformed."
Chen Zhixing has also learned this step. The two-word pincer Yangma has the change of sitting on a horse. When punching, the whole body is driven to exert force. The same principle is used when punching.
Seeing that the two of them practiced well, Gao Fengxian was able to take a break for the time being.
"I remember Fu Hongxue in Tianya Mingyue Knife swung the sword 10,000 times a day, and finally became a great hero."
Liao Fan bayoneted his knife while talking to Chen Zhixing.
This kind of boring mechanical behavior can easily wear down people's will. He has his own responsibility as the big brother, and he did not forget to comfort Chen Zhixing while practicing.
"A Fei just needs to swing his sword three thousand times a day."
Chen Zhixing was a little helpless, and the inner demon of Song Yi came to mind again.
Lu Xun once said that when he sees short sleeves, he thinks of white arms.
When Chen Zhixing saw the sword wielding, he thought of Ah Fei. When he thought of Ah Fei, he thought of talent. When he thought of talent, his inner demon Song Yi emerged. In the end, it always ended up on the cheongsam. Chen Zhixing's thoughts on this line are always like this.
Leap forward.
Then he saw a woman in cheongsam walking in from the gate of the square, walking closer and closer to the two people.
"Look who that person looks like." Liao Fan also had good eyesight and saw that beautiful figure at first sight.
"I look like Song Yi." Chen Zhixing smacked his mouth.
As the man came closer and closer, both of them looked astonished.
"Song Jia?"
Song Jia stroked the hem of the cheongsam. This dress made her walk a little awkward. She unbuttoned the collar like a woman and smiled sweetly: "Are you two busy?"
"Why are you here?"
"I'm here to visit."
She held the bag in her hand and compared it in front of the two of them, "I will also bring you some big meals to improve the food."
"You are really our savior."
Liao Fan immediately beamed with joy. He had been practicing every day and even if he lost his appetite, he was still greedy.
Martial arts schools all have unified catering, which is similar to the canteens of various universities, highlighting an average taste.
Chen Zhixing, who has a salty taste, can't get used to it, and Liao Fan, who has a spicy taste, has no taste in his mouth.
"Why are you dressed like this?"
"Isn't this the experience of playing a role?"
Gao Feng first saw someone coming to visit the class and immediately ordered: "Let's rest today and practice again tomorrow."
As if they were granted amnesty, the two of them immediately stepped forward and took the ingredients from Song Jia's hands.
"What did you bring us?"
This is not the first time that Liao Fan and Song Jia have met. They have collaborated in the film "Curiosity Killed the Cat". Song Jia was also nominated for the Golden Rooster Award for Best Supporting Actress through this film.
"Let's make hot pot."
Compared with Liao Fan's familiarity, it was indeed the first time that she and Chen Zhixing met.
"Chen Zhixing, I particularly like your performance in "White Night". Can you sign your autograph for me?"
"Sister, please don't underestimate me. You are my idol. Please sign your autograph for me first."
"White Night" is indeed very popular, but it depends on who it is compared to. In terms of popularity, "Guandong" was really popular back then.
Best TV series, Best TV series, Best Screenplay, and Best Screenplay all won softly. Wherever the hard honors go, the current Chen Zhixing really doesn't have much cachet in comparison.
"Then I didn't win the prize either."
