Chapter 354: Visiting the class... (make up for yesterday)
Action direction in Hollywood is really improving rapidly!
As far as fighting is concerned, the fighting skills in Hollywood in the past 10 years have been based on realism, and even combined with CG special effects. The kind of over-the-top fighting in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and "Heroes" rarely happens now.
American action movies are generally good at the following points: 1. The perfect fit between the action design and the characters; 2. The sense of weight and lens impact; 3. Sharp editing; 4. Car chases, aerial gunfights...
Decades of American film industry have given birth to the ultimate in editing and lensing, and a technology-driven viewing experience, all in the service of the final effect.
Therefore, it is difficult to see the complete action display in Hollywood action movies. The cutting speed is extremely fast, the scene changes are huge, and a large number of shots are used to show the special effects. Often, after watching a scene, it is difficult to sort out the actors’ movements.
moves.
But the audience loves this!
This time Shen Changlin found Sam Hargreave. In fact, he asked Jackie Chan's opinion in advance and he agreed...
Jackie Chan himself said, 'Most of the students in the family class specialize in martial arts, and are limited to rigid training of moves, and their thinking is relatively rigid. The traditional martial arts guidance industry is faced with issues such as how to renew its blood and integrate innovative action systems.'
It would be great to find a foreign team to learn from!
Sam Hargreave's team is mainly responsible for the flying scenes...
The crew, Sam Hargreave and his team are simulating the speeding scene on the computer while discussing the effects with Jackie Chan...
Yuan Biao walked up to Shen Changlin, took the drink from him, and asked casually: "Where did you find the action coaching team?"
"What's wrong?"
“It feels quite good!”
"...I am the action director of the "Captain America" series..."
"Then how did you convince him?"
"I just said that Jackie Chan admired him very much and wanted to work together, so he came..."
Yuan Biao nodded: "Jackie Chan does have charisma in Hollywood!"
There was no jealousy in his eyes at all.
In fact, Yuan Biao was very popular back then. He was both elegant and simple, and his acting skills could not be said to be good. He was barely qualified. At his peak, he also formed his own satellite company Jiahe, which was very popular in Japan.
After all, they are the famous Jiahe Three Treasures!
"Plan A", "Food Truck", "Summer Lucky Star" and "Flying Dragon General" are also signature works of "Jiahe Three Treasures".
The three of us act as partners and I set up the stage for you. They laugh and play and perform their duties, sometimes funny and sometimes serious. It almost creates a subcategory of action movies.
Yuen Biao soared to the sky and became very influential in Asia. He even had more fans abroad than Jackie Chan. In those years, he also filmed starring movies such as "As Time Comes", "The Peacock Prince" and "Frozen", and became a hot-handed actor.
Hot action star.
Later, he established his own independent production company, Tahoe, but encountered the Waterloo of his life: "XZ Boy" and "Once Upon a Time: Ghost Foot 7" lost all their money.
In 1993, he starred in "Blood Sword", which failed miserably at the box office, causing Yuan Biao to fall from the heights of his career to the bottom. The capitalized film market only looks at numbers, and if you don't have appeal, you will be sidelined immediately.
By 1997, "Ma Yongzhen" was losing money at the box office, and Yuen Biao simply stopped acting!
"Ma Yongzhen" is actually quite good - the patrol room can bring out a Yang Shuang, and so can I, Tan Si!
In fact, it is not as good as Sammo Hung or Jackie Chan, which is normal.
These two senior brothers are really talented!
Needless to say, Jackie Chan created the subgenre of Jackie Chan-style kung fu comedy, and its influence around the world has surpassed that of Bruce Lee;
The image of Sammo Hung that the audience is familiar with now is basically the image of the unsmiling boss in "Ip Man" or "Slaying the Wolf".
In fact, in the 1970s, Sammo Hung was already the mainstay of Hong Kong films, directly promoting the vigorous development of action comedies, action supernatural films, and zombie films.
Compared with Jackie Chan, Yuen Biao is more grateful to Sammo Hung: "The first movie I played the leading role in was "The Miscellaneous Boy", which was strongly recommended by Brother Sanmao... I told him at the time that I didn't dare to film it, because I had never played a leading role before!"
"Then what?"
"He slapped me, scolded me for being worthless, and wanted to be a sidekick for the rest of my life..."
Shen Changlin was thoughtful...
In fact, there is another reason for Yuan Biao's loneliness: Li Lianjie!
It can be said that before Li Lianjie went to Hong Kong, Yuen Biao was the most concise and capable Hong Kong action movie, but with Li Lianjie...
It’s also quite good. Compared with Sammo Hung, Jackie Chan, and Yuen Biao, they are artists whose private and public ethics are not stained at all. Unlike Jackie Chan, Sammo Hung hugged female stars...
At least Fan Jiuyi should be jointly developed...
In "Shinjuku Incident" back then, Jackie Chan worked with Sister Jiuyi!
No, Shen Changlin also developed it. How can I say this?
Have sex in the same hole?
…
As of October 14, "Operation Mekong" has been in theaters for 14 days, with a cumulative box office of 1.24 billion...
According to the box office trend, the final box office should be around 1.5 billion!
However, "Ant-Man", "The Little Prince", and "Peter Pan" will be released tomorrow...
"Ant-Man" is the final film of Marvel's second phase. Disney attaches great importance to casting, specifically recruiting Michael Douglas as a supporting actor and Edgar Wright as director...
Edgar Wright is a British director, his masterpiece is the trilogy of blood and ice cream: "Shaun of the Dead", "Hot Fuzz" and "At World's End"...
Then Edgar Wright quit…
After all, the Marvel Cinematic Universe needs to work together. Edgar Wright is an independent filmmaker and is rarely manipulated by others...
Later, director Paul Rudd was hired to take over.
So, "Ant-Man" is very divisive.
The performance of the North American box office is also quite average, with the bottom films in the second phase...
This is why everyone thinks that "Operation Mekong" can get close to 200 million box office against the three Hollywood works "Ant-Man", "The Little Prince" and "Peter Pan"...
Then... a slap in the face, "Ant-Man" was very popular, with a box office of 271 million in the first weekend, and a box office of 470 million in eight days of release!
"Operation Mekong" only took in 120 million at the box office in the eight days after that...
The single-day box office has dropped to around 4 million...
Even if there is an extension key, the box office will only be around 1.4 billion at most
Therefore, there is still money to be made in the movie universe. Regardless of the IP, as long as the Marvel name is attached to it, the global revenue will be at least 500 million US dollars!
Shen Changlin actually didn't care much about these things. When "Operation Mekong" had a box office of over 500 million, he was already relieved - he recovered the cost and established a good relationship with the public security department...
Zhang Yi is completely on top this time.
"The Big Winner", "Our Victory", and "Operation Mekong", three movies, all have male leads, and the cumulative box office is close to 3.5 billion!
I heard from Shi Shi that Zhang Yi had received invitations from a lot of directors, including some poetry masters and trousers...
Oh, Shi Shi came to visit the class!
It was Shen Changlin who took the initiative to ask her to come over...
I don’t really want anything to happen to Karen Gillan. After all, next year will be the Me Too movement. What if I become a target...
Most of Mitu's processes are to kill first and tell later, no matter what the truth is, it will always make you stink.
Even if the accusation is later proven to be a false accusation, one can still escape most punishment and condemnation by raising the banner of "awakening the public's attention to sexual youth"...
Chapter completed!
