Huayu: Hard fight against Zhang Weiping at the beginning

Chapter 222 What is this version of Taken about? (1)

In Zhang Chen's version of "Taken", Zhang Chen retained the overall framework of the story, but he felt that the middle part was not popular enough, so he made a lot of changes.

After all, the boasting has already been spread out. If Director Wu, who has just returned from Hollywood, wants to teach him how to make a spy film, it will definitely not work if the film is poor.

Even if the photos aren't stunning enough, it won't do.

So Zhang Chen took out a lot of useful information. He planned to soften the classic aspects of several classic films in his memory and put them all into this "Taken".

The first is bare-handed fighting, and the blows must be fierce. This should be no problem with "Mad Dog" Ruian here.

Then the gun fighting is completely copied from "John Wick", allowing the audience to feel the charm of the Mozambique shooting method and CAR gun combat system.

Zhang Chen's version of "Taken" = "The Rescue" + "John Wick" + "The Hitman's Bodyguard"

For this play, Zhang Chen arranged a total of four fierce fighting scenes.

The first place is the construction site.

Brian pretended to be a client to attract the thugs, then installed a bug and followed them to the construction site.

This is a den of a human trafficking gang, where many girls are held captive.

Brian was looking for his daughter here. During the search, he found his daughter's coat. He learned that the girl in front of him was related to his daughter, so he decided to rescue her and leave.

Zhang Chen felt that the original version was a bit low-brow. The fighting scenes were not professional at all, and the action was not exciting either.

So he made a lot of changes.

First of all, there are action scenes without weapons.

The action must be fast and ruthless, to show the difference between a secret agent and a common gangster.

"The Bourne Supremacy" is the best textbook. The characteristic of Jason Bourne's actions in the movie is speed. It is not a traditional turn-based system at all. The next move has not been completed before the previous move has been used.

Another thing is the ease with which he can use weapons.

Magazines, pens, books, towels, anything at hand can be used as a weapon to kill people. There is a Chinese saying that can summarize it very well: plants, bamboo and stones can all hurt people.

Ruian did not disappoint and came up with three plans in a row. The fighting master was indeed worthy of his reputation. Zhang Chen was very satisfied with his action design.

After easily defeating the men in front of him, he obtained the weapons, and then it became a weapons duel.

In the original version, the protagonist actually had to pretend to be dead and hide under a corpse to launch a sneak attack, which was a bit low and unprofessional.

The protagonist of Zhang Chen’s “Taken” must be the God of Killer.

His signature Mozambique shooting method of two shots to the torso and one shot to the head is his signature.

This gets to where Taran Butler excels.

Shoot, reload quickly, use the enemy's body as cover, grab the weapon, and shoot again...

Every movement of Taran has been designed, striving to reflect both professionalism and beauty, which is also the only requirement Zhang Chen gave him.

In order to make the quick magazine change look more aesthetically pleasing, Taran specially increased the weight of the bottom of the magazine, so that when Liang Jiahui changes the magazine, he only needs to press the magazine switch and shake the gun at the same time, and the magazine will automatically fly out due to gravity.

"Oh, that's great, this move is so cool..."

Everyone who saw this action exclaimed in amazement. They had never seen such a cool bullet-changing action before.

Taran's fat face was filled with a proud smile, as if to say, "Today you have finally seen my strength, Grandpa. Come on, praise me, come on, praise me..."

"Great, Taran, you are a genius~"

Zhang Chen was generous with his praise, and gave him a lot of compliments without asking for money, which made Taran's chin almost lifted to the sky. Alas, sometimes you have to say that foreigners are just naive...

The first scene is just an appetizer. Judging from the setting, the second scene is the climax.

The second scene is Brian disguising himself as a policeman and coming to Mark's lair. Of course, Brian has to disguise himself here, otherwise an Asian would easily arouse vigilance.

Brian used a clever trick to identify Mark by his voice.

Then the war began.

There was no gun at the beginning either, as it was searched and taken away when entering the house.

Ruian needed to design a set of actions to quickly subdue the people in the small dining room, and then use the seized weapons to kill the men who came.

The foreign actors that the crew had invited are now all in place, with Jason Stans sitting among them. He is the boss Mark.

"In a moment, Liang Jiahui will show Jason a small piece of paper with 'Good Luck' written on it. Jason will read 'Good Luck' in English, and Liang Jiahui will recognize him as the guy on the phone. Do you understand?"

"clear."

Zhang Chen briefly explained the plot and then prepared to start filming.

The machine is turned on, the script supervisor is making the board, and all departments are preparing...

Compared to the action scenes to be shot later, this kind of literary drama is really very simple to shoot. As long as the emotions and expressions are there, there are basically no major problems.

But the shooting of the subsequent martial arts scenes became complicated.

We usually watch an action fight scene for just a few minutes, but the filming behind the scenes may take several days.

Take the following fight for example, the prop team prepared several sets of tables, chairs and benches alone. Once the fight starts, the chances of damage are too high.

If the shooting is not going smoothly and there are not enough tables and chairs, it is the props that delayed the shooting progress. It is the fault of the props.

The filming went smoothly, but if we bought too many tables and chairs, it would be a waste of budget and it would also be the fault of the props.

Props: I have a hard time~~
"Later Liang Jiahui said, 'Don't you remember me? We talked on the phone two days ago, and I told you I would find you...'"

"When Liang Jiahui said this, you finally felt something was wrong. If you pulled out a gun, Liang Jiahui would put your head on the plate...

The person opposite picked up the table knife and stabbed Liang Jiahui. He blocked it with a plate on the table, then smashed the plate on the other person's head with his backhand. Taking advantage of the stiffness, he then reversed his grip and inserted the hand holding the table knife into the throat of the person holding the knife..."

This time it was Ruian's turn to explain the play, and he explained in detail the key points of the movements he designed to the people one by one.

"At this moment, you flipped the table, using all your strength, and rushed towards Liang Jiahui, but Liang pulled the knife out of that man's body first and stabbed it into your chest.

At this time, Liang should not stop moving. Remember, your goal is to kill the target, not to enjoy the pleasure, and don't say anything harsh. "

What Luian said was what Zhang Chen had specifically told him. In his previous life, that kind of plot was what he hated the most when watching movies.

To sum up, the villain dies because he talks too much.

The ending of the original "Taken" is also a highlight. Faced with the wealthy man who kidnapped his daughter, Brian shot and killed him without any nonsense.

It gives people a sense of absurdity. The big boss behind the scenes was killed with just one shot?
Shouldn't it be a lot of chattering followed by a wonderful fight? Why did it end with just one quick shot?

It gives people a feeling of starting strong but ending weak.

But it is precisely this setting that gives people a sense of reality.

Right, who says the ending must have a climax? Under normal circumstances, isn’t it just done in one shot?
