I was just thinking about taking the arts exam and you said I've been playing supporting roles

Chapter 351 The Suit-Wearing Thug, Born Ahead of Schedule!
Twilight Quadruple.

A group of masked gangsters, armed with guns, approached Long Zhu's residence.

There were at least several dozen people, and they were all burly and strong, clearly skilled in martial arts.

The atmosphere at the scene was quite quiet.

Only a few scattered lights were on inside the building. A huge film crew crane carrying cameras was aimed at the entire set, and drones were following the group of extras. Guo Fan and David were staring intently at the monitor.

Sun Nuo stood in a corner of the set, waiting for Chen Jin to appear.

Wu Jing watched with great interest, while Wan Qian treated it as a learning experience; she had also been practicing her skills diligently during this period.

No one dared to express their anger.

This is the first fight scene in "Killer: Dragon", and it's an entrance that Chen Jin and Sun Nuo came up with together.

After learning that his son had offended "Dragon," a top assassin feared throughout the underworld, gang leader Vig sent an elite team to Dragon's house to strike first, in order to protect his son.

"Dragon, Nuyezat!"

Two fists can't beat four hands. In Vig's opinion, with so many people, they should be able to take down the dragon.

Unexpectedly, Long single-handedly defeated dozens of people from beginning to end.

A 10-minute scene, fighting all the way through.

This led Long to choose the path of single-handedly uprooting Vigor's gang.

The story seems simple, but what you'll see is fighting and clashes with cold weapons.

Tatata!
A group of people quickly approached, but Chen Jin was taking a shower.

He already knew someone was approaching his manor—a sixth sense and a skill of a top assassin; yet he still leisurely and comfortably washed his hair, the shower water pouring over him, revealing his incredibly imposing back muscles.

The dark style of the camera, combined with the exaggerated "black dragon tattoo" on Chen Jin's back, makes it even more impactful.

Everyone can sense from this image that this person is very powerful.

Very difficult to deal with.

The key point is that a very tough battle is about to begin.

"That figure..."

Wan Qian was drooling as she looked at it, and Wu Jing next to her chuckled: "What's wrong, Sister Wan, are you tempted?"

What's the use of being attracted to someone?

"She's already taken!"

"As long as you're not married, you still have a chance!"

"Just take it!"

Wu Jing chuckled.

Wan Qian didn't reply, but silently looked towards the film set, her eyes seeming to soften.

Snapped!
Chen Jin turned off the shower, and the next second in the camera's view, he was already getting dressed.

This is a shot from Act III.

Shirt, suit, leather shoes.

A handsome figure in a suit and tie, with neatly styled hair.

Chen Jin transformed into a tough guy in a suit.

Although his face was bruised, the "battle damage" he had sustained a few days ago when he was accidentally injured by Vig's son, he looked even more charming in the mirror.

"..."

In any case, Wan Qian's eyes were glued to her.

As Chen Jin dressed, the rhythm of his dressing, along with his cold and stern face, created a chilling atmosphere.

This is a kind of leading man aura bestowed by acting skills.

Footsteps could be heard inside the house.

"here we go!"

Everyone knows that the action scene is coming soon, and the previous bathing and dressing scenes were all foreshadowing.

All of this is to highlight the violent and aesthetic fight that is about to take place.

"Day 6, Scene 4, Action!"

Countless gangsters had arrived at Long's house, guns in hand, searching for their target.

With the help of the dim light in the house, you can make out individual heads.

Just then——

Swish!
A figure suddenly appeared in the darkness.

The camera was instantly pointed at him.

This is Chen Jin's entrance.

With a slightly stubble-covered, weathered face, dressed in a suit, his eyes were deep and his cheeks were strong. He stood straight on the second floor, looking at the group of gangsters following closely on the first floor.

It was like looking at a series of dead people.

boom!
The next second, he grabbed the second-floor railing and slid down.

The fight scene begins instantly.

An incredibly beautiful aerial somersault.

Handsome and elegant, the suit he wore made him look like the Grim Reaper.

“cool~~~”

David Leitch whistled, his eyes gleaming as he looked at the monitor.

Guo Fan curled his lip, but had to admit that Chen Jin's action scenes were undeniably cool and had a certain masculine charm.

This entrance alone is enough to stun many people.

Regardless of gender.

This kid does have some skill!

As for the fight scenes in suits, there are very few action movies that present them like this; but they do look very artistic and aesthetically pleasing.

It's mainly about the contrast.

The contrast between the suit and the fight.

This was the first time Guo Fan had seen Chen Jin's action scenes.

But it caught everyone's eye.

"..."

Wan Qian stared intently, while Wu Jing stroked his beard, recalling the action from just now. He thought that what he did might not have been as impressive as what Chen Jin had done.

Most importantly, this guy didn't use any wires at all; he just jumped down.

Replacing Wu Jing with Wu Jing is not an option.

He is old.

Chen Jin's greatest asset right now is her youth.

His physical fitness is far superior to Wu Jing's.

"Ok?"

The enemy heard the commotion instantly, but before he could even raise his head, Chen Jin had already appeared in front of him in a flash.

Swah——

He was greeted by Chen Jin's cold face and a whip-like leg that shot up with a whoosh.

Decisive and efficient.

But the dark style is full of action tension.

Click!

The other person suddenly twisted their head and fell to the ground.

An enemy behind him reacted instantly, raising his gun to fire, but Chen Jin had already produced a throwing knife.

laugh!
Chen Jin didn't even turn his head, his expression was serious, and he casually waved his hand.

puff--

The man clutched his throat, his eyes widening in disbelief that he had been struck in the throat by a hidden weapon.

Blood sizzled between his fingers as a throwing knife was stuck straight in there.

Every single one of them was a false alarm.

At this moment, it was clear that the enemies inside the house already knew that they had alerted the god of death they wanted to kill.

Chen Jin turned sideways and hid in a corner of the room, a pistol appearing in her hand.

It's the Heckler & Koch P30L.

He skillfully and steadily installed the muffler.

Bang!Bang!
He suddenly sprang out of the shadows, swiftly taking down two opponents with two shots, and instinctively followed up with a second shot.

His clothes were lifted up, fluttering as he walked, as if carrying a gust of wind. He killed one person with each step, his guns firing in rapid succession; he had the air of someone who could kill one person with each step and leave no trace for a thousand miles.

Fighting, throwing knives, firearms... In this action scene, Chen Jin fully demonstrated all the skills of an assassin.

The word "good-looking" is not enough to describe these exhilarating fight scenes.

"I originally suggested hiring a military advisor..."

"But now I feel... Chan himself must have done the research!"

Chad pursed his lips slightly and said something to David Leitch.

"..."

David Leitch's eyes remained fixed on the camera on the monitor, as if he hadn't heard Chad's words: "Smooth, so smooth! If these were Hollywood action stars, they would have to shoot at least 20 scenes!"

"And there were many takes!" "But Chan finished in 8 segments, and his movements were very precise!"

"He must have practiced how to fight in private..."

Of course, Chen Jin didn't film the entire long fight scene above in one continuous shot; he didn't have that ability, and the cinematographer couldn't focus from various angles either.

However, all the scenes were filmed in one go, and they were not just simple actions. Some of the scenes were designed by Sun Nuo to be very complex.

Given Chen Jin's age and skill, he performed very well.

Sun Nuo, watching from the sidelines, was already getting excited. He clenched his fists and sometimes even waved them around, wishing he could go up there and beat Chen Jin up instead.

Chen Jin's appearance in a suit is not only cool and ruthless when fighting, but also embodies a common aesthetic of both Eastern and Western martial arts.

Elegant, violent, and beautiful!
The West prefers the visceral impact of hard-hitting action and values ​​realism.

Eastern audiences, accustomed to various martial arts and action films, have high expectations for many action sequences.

You have to play stylishly and decisively, without any slow motion.

Chen Jin seemed to have integrated them all, creating a unique fighting style of her own, which clearly exceeded the scope of the movements designed by Sun Nuo.

Jet Li is called the "Kung Fu Emperor" because his fighting style is very attractive, and he can bring out the unique and exciting moves designed by Yuan Heping.

Among action stars, his fighting style is unique and known for its beauty.

No one can match his standard of movement.

Someone else wouldn't have this ability, mainly because their basic skills and martial arts foundation are inadequate.

But now, Sun Nuo feels like his eyes have been opened.

Guo Fan was also amazed.

The first time he saw Chen Jin filming an action scene, he felt a sense of being defeated by a lower dimension.

Is it the violent yet elegant aesthetic of modern combat sports?

They look very crude and violent, but when they fight while wearing suits, why is it so pleasing to the eye... and elegant?
boom! boom! boom!
Chen Jin used the wall to bounce off and kick his enemy's jaw, then finished him off with a chokehold. His movements were clean, crisp, and in accordance with physics. His suit seemed to be welded to his body. As his feet landed, he threw a knife in one hand and a pistol in the other.

Almost simultaneously, all three opponents died.

Chen Jin stood there, his entire being resembling a god rising from the darkness.

He appeared incredibly composed during the photoshoot.

Another fight scene over!

"God, I'm getting goosebumps!"

"This is truly a freakish Grim Reaper..."

“Chan is next, he’s definitely next…Jacken, Jet, Bruce…”

David Leitch's incoherent shouts were actually clear to Guo Fan.

He is simply the next Chinese action superstar after Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan, and Jet Li.

In fact, the entire crew was stunned by what Chen Jin had just done.

This is the most dazzling series of actions. Sun Nuo's design concept is a fighting style with progressively advancing violence. Each battle is broken down into three acts: "encounter - counterattack - end", with a tight rhythm like a symphony.

The action sequence progresses from fists and feet to hidden weapons and then to firearms, culminating in a three-in-one simultaneous kill!

This action usually requires breaking it down for most people, but Wu Jing does.

But Chen Jin filmed it all in one go.

Not only that, he captured the rhythmic beauty of the movements, that kind of high-class quality, as if every move he made had something special about it.

This is the part that allows the audience to immerse themselves in the story the most.

Wow!
After the action ended, Chen Jin reappeared in the camera's view.

He gently brushed the front of his shirt with his hand, straightened the front of his suit jacket, and it became crisp and taut again.

He remained expressionless, even with the blood splattered on his face from the recent killing... The action of adjusting his suit seemed casual, not the kind of deliberate showing off, but rather an unconscious action after the fight. However, it was even more pretentious than any deliberate attempt to show off.

That's the kind of casualness we're looking for; it makes people think it's incredibly cool.

Unfortunately, his arrogance lasted only three seconds.

"..."

Chen Jin suddenly started panting heavily and gestured, "Stop!"

Chen Jin needs to rest for a while; he had to hold his breath to film most of the scenes.

To create that calm and sophisticated atmosphere from the assassin's entrance to the killing.

Fortunately, he did take very good photos.

But even Iron Man needs a break. Although he experienced "John Wick," he wasn't the real Wick.

"Hahaha!"

Many people laughed, and Wu Jing felt a great sense of relief, cheering and clapping along the way.

He genuinely believed that Chen Jin was a god.

Fortunately, he was human too.

This made him feel a little better.

Otherwise, he would genuinely be questioning his life; a kung fu actor who looks like a real assassin.

Moreover, he's a killer far more skilled than many characters in movies.

He believed that he would need two days to film that scene, and even then, he might not be able to film it as smoothly as Chen Jin.

"Ooh ooh ooh~~~"

The entire crew gave Chen Jin the warmest applause for the impressive action scenes they had just filmed.

Those despicable Chinese people! Do all of them have this kind of skill?

Many foreign crew members on set couldn't help but recall a meme circulating online: "Everyone in China knows kung fu, otherwise why would every actor be able to perform such stylish and cool moves?"
"Brother Jing, what level was my boss's fight scene just now?"

Wan Qian thought Chen Jin looked incredibly handsome in his suit, and her heart seemed to race for several seconds, so she couldn't help but ask the professional next to her.

"Full marks!"

Wu Jing raised an eyebrow.

"So perfunctory?"

"A perfect score is my highest praise. I... couldn't have captured this effect, even with post-production speed improvements!"

"No way?"

Wan Qian always felt that Wu Jing was definitely more skilled than Chen Jin.

She really didn't have much of a concept.

"real!"

"Most importantly, he's younger than me!"

This was already Master Wu saving face for himself. In fact, any martial arts actor could see that it would be very, very difficult to recreate the effect Chen Jin just achieved.

If you let the young Jet Li take his time filming, he might be able to, but he's not tall enough and doesn't have the same striking presence as Chen Jin in a suit.

Bruce Lee?
I haven't met Bruce Lee or Wu Jing, so it's difficult to make a comparison.

In any case, Wu Jing was genuinely startled by Chen Jin.

The two had sparred privately over the past few days, and Wu Jing had been amazed by Chen Jin several times, knowing that he had a strong foundation in martial arts; but this was the first time she had seen him on camera.

Wu Jing has to admit that she feels she's really getting old.

***
the other side.

Sun Nuo shook his head at Chen Jin, who was slumped over on the set, as he walked out of the film set, a bitter smile on his face.

"what happened?"

Chen Jin had the physiotherapist relax her entire body there.

With a medical team on standby, injuries during action scenes are inevitable.

"I didn't expect your footage to be so much more intense than the moves we demonstrated before!"

"And even faster!"

Sun Nuo squatted down in front of Chen Jin and sighed, "I tried to make the moves as complicated as you had suggested, but it seems I still underestimated your potential!"

"Hahaha!"

Chen Jin was smiling there; he wasn't being arrogant.

Rather, it's because Sun Nuo doesn't understand him at all.

Sun Nuo was aware of Chen Jin's skills, but he didn't know that Chen Jin had experienced "John Wick," so there must be traces of the original work in her movements.

Wick's fighting skills might not be as good as Chen Jin's right now, but he's familiar with this scene!
The design of the house, and the assassination attempt on him, were still fresh in his memory; and since the rehearsals before filming the action scenes could not be 100% accurate, Chen Jin's filming of this scene was definitely better than the simulation.

It's perfectly normal for Sun Nuo to be so surprised.

Experience, skills, and acting ability make Chen Jin's action scenes not only exceptionally outstanding but also greatly enhance their stability.

This is also where he surpasses Cheng Long, Jet Li, and even Bruce Lee.

"You'll be next!"

"I firmly believe it!"

Sun Nuo suddenly said something just like David Leitch had said earlier.

David might have been exaggerating unconsciously, but Sun Nuo, as a Chinese person, grew up watching these people's movies. He is also an action choreographer and understands the talents and strengths of many martial arts actors.

Chen Jin is undoubtedly the best one.

He's young, talented, good-looking, and has skills comparable to Bruce Lee... Compared to those three, he has a huge advantage.

"Don't flatter me to death..."

As Chen Jin waved her hand, an iPhone 4s in front of Wan Qian suddenly rang.
