I didn't want to be an actor

Chapter 490: Breaking 33 million on the first day ()

The crew of Lotus Tower...

Shen Liang is filming a fight scene...

Li Xiangyi PK Fu Disheng.

In "Sword Rain", Dong Wei designed every move of the masters' sword fighting style in great detail, and showed clearly how to break the moves!
"Lotus Tower" didn't need this kind of thing at the beginning, it belonged to high-level martial arts - Li Xiangyi was the best in the world!

In the beginning of this fight scene, Li Xiangyi broke into the Golden Mandarin Alliance alone, first severely injured the three masters of the Golden Mandarin Alliance, and then took possession of Fu Disheng...

"I want to show later that Li Xiangyi's body movements are like a swimming dragon, and the sword he thrusts out, the sword energy surrounds it and forms a green dragon..."

This was agreed upon in advance by him, the special effects team and Dong Wei...

Therefore, to deal with the minions of the Golden Mandarin Duck Alliance, there was no need to draw a sword. Shen Liang was lifted up by the wire, his left hand was behind his back, and he casually swung his right hand. Seven or eight people below were immediately sent flying, and fell to the ground in pain...

Including the three masters, he also drew his sword, then stepped over, and the three masters immediately fell to the ground and screamed...

Di Feisheng: "You are finally here."

Li Xiangyi: "As you wish, where is the body of my senior brother Shan Gudao?"

Di Feisheng: "We'll talk after you beat me."

"Click..."

Director Lou Jian called a halt and handed the scene back to Dong Wei...

The action scenes must be directed by the action director!

"Have you all memorized the moves from before? Liangzi, you thrust out with your long sword... Junzi, you block with your knife and take a step back... Then, Liangzi, you change your moves and use a chopping move, and Junzi, you jump back with all your strength... Do you understand?

Shen Liang: “OK!”

Han Dongjun also nodded: "It should be fine!"

Seeing that they had no more questions, Dong Wei called out to Lou Jian, "Director, can we try shooting a segment first?"

"it is good!"

Lou Jiancheng nodded immediately and said, "Everyone, take your positions!"

"Check the camera position again, check it again! Check the wire work as well... don't let anything go wrong!"

"Prepare!"

In fact, the action scenes, especially the fighting with weapons, and the hanging wires, with all kinds of sword energy in the later stage, were actually shot one shot at a time...

Specifically: Shen Liang thrust out a sword, Han Dongjun blocked it with his knife, took a step back, and the two switched positions.

Then wait for the director to call cut before continuing...

Shen Liang changed his moves and slashed with his sword. Han Dongjun pulled him with his wire and flew upwards...

Then he yelled again...

You can’t really film a fight scene—even if the actors wanted to, swords don’t show mercy…

If you get hurt, then... it won't be worth it!
Therefore, it is difficult to see the overall view of most fighting scenes, and at most there are close-ups of moves + quick cuts!
It’s pretty good, at least I didn’t use a substitute...

So Li Lianjie is really awesome.

His martial arts action films have a unique sense of impact.

What is the sense of impact?
It's the real sound of fists hitting flesh, bang bang bang, not the biubiubiu laser swords shooting randomly in those fantasy films of later generations...

The fight with Zhen Zidan in "Hero" was so breathtaking...

To achieve this effect, the requirements for the actors themselves are extremely high!
The requirements for the co-starring actors are also high.

Even if Shen Liang had an idea, he would not bring it up - would Han Dongjun accept it or not?

What if he gets hurt?
He just came here to work and got paid 600 million!

Oh, and this fight ended with both of them falling into the water...

After shooting this segment, it was already two o’clock in the afternoon!
Shen Liang was really hungry: "Director, please get us something to eat!"

"…Okay, I'll leave it for you guys!"

"Wow, that's good... Lao Han, would you like to have some with me?"

"Hmm..." Han Dongjun was too lazy to go back to the lounge, so a few people sat together and started eating...

When on the set, Shen Liang usually eats lunch with the director, assistant director and cameramen, and rarely eats alone in the RV.

Not interesting!
Most importantly, the crew's food is good. In addition to the main meals, they also provide a variety of rich fruits, desserts and some snacks after the meal. Lou Jian suddenly asked him: "Magnolia Award, do you want to take a leave?"

"There's no need. It's unlikely that I'll win the prize anyway..."

"We have to go there, after all, it's hosted by SMG!"

"Okay, then I'll take two days off."

Han Dongjun interrupted: "Who do you think will win the award, Brother Liang?"

"Teacher Chen Baoguo, the heroine should be Yan Ni!"

“…Yanni should also win an award.”

"She should have won the Best Actress award for "The North Wind Blows"! She should have also won the award for "Wang Dahua's Revolutionary Life"...but it was given to Song Dandan and Sun Li! The key is that Sun Li won the award because of "The Legend of Miyue"... She didn't act well in "The Legend of Miyue"!"

Lou Jian didn't answer. Shen Liang smiled and said, "Let's shoot well and try to get a few Feitian nominations for Lotus Tower!"

"Flying..."

The building is a bit speechless
The Feitian Awards have never nominated a martial arts film!

Not really. That year, Zhang Jizhong’s masterpiece “Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils” was nominated for both Fine Arts and Music…

Shen Liang didn't care: "It's up to people!"

As he was talking, Shen Liang's phone vibrated. He took it out and saw a message from Chen Jiadong: "The box office of "Raging Fire" has approached 100 million... It is estimated that it will at least break 200 million today!"

Shen Liang stood up immediately: "I'll go make a phone call!"

Then left the lounge...

……

“How’s the reputation?”

"Douban's score is 7.9..."

"7.9... not bad. What about the audience feedback?"

Shen Liang immediately called Chen Jiadong and eagerly asked him several questions that he was most concerned about...

"The attendance rate is close to 32%, Maoyan's score is 9.6 points, and Maoyan has given a box office forecast of 25 billion!"

“…Not bad, please post a Weibo post to thank the audience…”

"Ah."

"What else?"

"I've been nominated for Best Actor at the Changchun Film Festival. Should I go?"

"Which movie was nominated?"

"'A Bouquet of Love' was nominated for Best Actor!"

“…Let me think about it and get back to you later!”

The Changchun Film Festival has a very close relationship with Changchun Film Studio. It can be said that the original Changchun Film Festival was established based on Changchun Film Studio!

Grandpa Shen Liang was a director at Changchun Film Studio. He was transferred to Beijing Film Studio in the 1980s.

It’s good to go and have a look!
I replied: "Please arrange some time..."

Then Shen Liang opened Douban and read the comments of "Raging Fire":

"It's a standard Hong Kong film that's all over the top and crazy. Shen Liang is so handsome. It's obvious that Benny Chan loves him very much. From his cheerful and handsome appearance in the memories, to his grievance and confusion when he was betrayed, to his ruthlessness when he was a gangster, he perfectly created a role that is evil, crazy, and even more evil than Daniel Wu in New Police Story!"

"This is the most exciting Hong Kong film in recent years. The last 20 minutes of the battle was not dragged out at all. It was very enjoyable to watch. Shen Liang also brought a rare fresh feeling to Hong Kong films!"

"Although the plot is very procedural, Shen Liang really went crazy killing people! Moreover, he never redeemed himself until the very end, he was a black man to the end! Awesome!"

"Poor bastard, Shen Liang is too much, it hurts me just looking at him!"

Shen Liang didn’t read any long reviews below 3 stars…

It's just a plot hole or something...

Doesn’t Shen Liang know if there are any loopholes in the plot?

This is just a commercial film with a score of 7 to 7.5!
