47 [Clown Hero]

Sammo Hung, Shi Tian, ​​Yuan Xiangqi and others also nodded, thinking that Ye Jin wanted to promote and suppress the protagonist first, and that the idea of ​​showing that the protagonist was bullied was correct. However, there are many ways to show that he had done his work, such as having his fingers rotten, not having enough food, not having enough clothes or sleeping in the cowshed, etc.

It is really embarrassing to plunge into a bucket, not like a hero. In a kung fu film, if the protagonist is not like a hero, how could he be popular and would not be a big box office.

After all, the reason why people love to watch kung fu movies is to see how the protagonist hits people and how he shows his heroism.

Just imagine, in "Jingwumen", when Bruce Lee went to Hongkou Dojo to kick the hall, if he followed the rules of the dojo and took off his shoes before entering again, what momentum would he have?

"A Jin, you can't shoot like this. If you shoot like this, you don't look like a hero. How could the audience like it?" Yuan Richu also advised.

"I don't think so." Ye Jin waved his hand and said, "Mr. Bruce Lee made jokes at airports, restaurants and other places when filming "The Dragons Crossing the River". Who can say that he is not a hero?

Besides, I can't compete with Mr. Bruce Lee. I am not as good as him and not as strong as his aura. If I barely learn from him to be a big hero, I will be a rebellious dog.

So I can only be a little hero. Although I start at a low level and feel embarrassed, I work hard and work hard, and eventually become a master of my generation."

After hearing what he said, everyone looked at each other and felt that what he said was somewhat reasonable. It is indeed not appropriate to force his heroes without Bruce Lee's skills and such a strong aura.

"I think A Jin's words make sense." Wu Siyuan agreed, "Bruce Lee is the kind of perfect hero. He has great kung fu, profound boxing principles, and strong aura. He is a master of his generation and can't beat him.

A star like him cannot be imitated by others. Instead of doing this, it is better to do the opposite. Bruce Lee plays a big hero, and A Jin plays a little hero."

After the incident in "Seventy-Two Tenants", Wu Siyuan knew that Ye Jin was a person with unique vision and thoughtfulness, and would not be aimless. Therefore, when there is controversy, he would rather listen to Ye Jin's opinions.

Since the director had already spoken, it was hard for others to argue anymore, so they nodded.

...

Yuan Heping immediately modified the martial arts movements and tried to move closer to the ridiculous aspects.

In fact, it is not unfamiliar to them to be aware of the humorous martial arts.

Because Yuan Heping also studied opera, he was like Sammo Hung, who was a disciple of Zhan Yuan. However, because Yuan Heping was in poor health and could not eat too much, he dropped out of school before he studied.

The specialty of Wu Chou in Peking operas is like Ren Tanghui in "Sanchakou", Yang Xiangwu in "Three Thieves and Nine Dragon Cup", Shi Qian in "Yan Lingjia", Zhu Guangzu in "Serial Set", etc.

Their remarks and actions have distinct funny elements, so it is not too difficult for Yuan Heping and others to learn and apply it to other things, and to move the style of Wu Chou in Peking Opera to Ye Jin.

Soon a new set of martial arts movements were designed. After seeing them, Ye Jin felt that they were indeed much more funny than before, so he nodded.

...

Ye Jin then started practicing with Shi Tian and mastered this martial arts routine as soon as possible.

On the other side, props, indexes, lighting, photography, etc. are also busy with their own affairs.

Although the house is suitable for shooting, it still needs some renovation before it can be officially started.

For example, the furniture in the house should be replaced, and all modern furniture should be replaced with old-fashioned furniture; banners and couplets should be hung in the middle hall; weapons, stone locks, barbells, wooden stakes, flags, etc. In short, try to arrange them like an ancient martial arts hall.

For this reason, Wu Siyuan specially brought a whole truck of props, such as rosewood wooden ring chairs, weapon racks, teapots and tea bowls, and even flower pots, furnishings, etc., and brought them together and rearranged them.

It was only after arriving at Shajingwei at 8 o'clock that things were finally settled until twelve o'clock noon.

So after dinner, the filming officially started.

The rice was also customized from the villagers' homes. The rice, bacon, and vegetables tasted better than the chefs of Xiao Cinema.

It was the first time the villagers in Shajingwei saw someone filming. They were very curious, so they stopped doing farm work. They came to watch in groups, supporting the elderly and the young, and even sat on the wall.

The scene records must be cleared over and over again to avoid being missed during shooting.

In fact, this is also why film companies are unwilling to shoot outdoor scenes.

I have been disturbed too much from the outside world and wasted time and energy, so I would rather be worry-free than renting a venue in the cinema.

However, the total cost of "Snake Shame Hand" is only 300,000 Hong Kong dollars, so it is natural to save as much as possible.

The filming officially started.

Sammo Hung led a team of actors to practice boxing on the patio.

In the hall, Ye Jin squatted on the ground, holding a rag to wipe the floor, secretly watching, while playing tricks and practicing martial arts secretly.

Shi Tian was lying on the couch in the hall and was lazy. He was holding a thick cigarette puff in his mouth, spitting out clouds and mist from time to time, which was very satisfying.

At this time, he found Ye Jin was lazy, so he quietly walked behind him, then swung the cigarette pipe and slapped Ye Jin's butt.

Ye Jin then jumped up with an oops...

Shi Tian’s stick naturally could not really hit Ye Jin into the wooden barrel. It would be too strong and would not be so accurate.

In fact, Ye Jin just jumped up and rushed forward, and then took the shot of him plunging into the wooden barrel.

After editing together in the future, Shi Tian will have the effect of hitting Ye Jin into the bucket with one stick.

Ye Jin then jumped and plunged into the wooden barrel.

Seeing this, the villagers watching the scene couldn't help but clapping and laughing. They had never seen such a funny movie.

Seeing the villagers laughing like this, Yuan Heping suddenly felt a chill in his heart and doubted whether the movie "Snake-shaped Hand" could work.

You know, the audience will never laugh so much when watching Bruce Lee's movies.

This obviously treats Ye Jin as a clown. Can a clown be a hero?!

Wu Siyuan was also muttering in his heart.

Although he had just adopted Ye Jin's opinion, he was actually unsure.

After all, in previous movies, heroes were all serious, meticulous, brave and fearless, and rather than surrender.

I'm really unsure whether such a clown can do it.

"I hope it can do it." He said in his heart.

...

"Snake-shaped Hands" was filmed until 6 o'clock in the afternoon, and the work was officially finished after dark.

This is also one of the reasons why the film companies are reluctant to take outdoor scenes.

When shooting in the studio, because there are lights that can be adjusted, construction can be started twenty-four hours a day.

But taking pictures of outdoor scenes is different. The outdoor scene lighting fixtures in the 1970s were relatively simple, and it was difficult to create an environment like the daytime.

Therefore, there is no room for scenes, and you can only stop filming at night. After all, there is no night scene in "The Snake Shame".
Chapter completed!
