Some movie fans may wonder why today's martial arts and action films are becoming uglier and uglier.
Why has the “fist-to-flesh” fighting style disappeared, and why has “slow motion” become so popular?
In fact, the bottom line is that the actors who were able to fight and work hard at the beginning have grown old and gradually faded out of the market.
As for the new generation of young actors, who would be willing to risk serious injury to shoot those dangerous action scenes when they can make money easily?
Action superstars seem to be in great shape, but each of them is plagued by illness.
Cheng Long was born with excellent conditions and is full of energy. Although he was seriously injured many times during the filming process, he was still able to jump around in life.
Jet Li's physical fitness is not as good as others, and he gets injured almost every time he shoots a movie. When he was shooting "Fist of Fury", he also said he wanted to fight for real, but Chow Bi-lik broke his ribs.
Hearing the same request now, Zhou Bili was a little panicked.
Although Jet Li was very popular back then and started his own company as a boss, he was still not considered a big shot in the entire Hong Kong entertainment industry.
Jiang Heng is different. That is the greatest glory of the Hong Kong film industry and the face of the Chinese entertainment industry. How could he dare to really hit her?
So he said with an embarrassed expression: "Well, Director Jiang, now the audience doesn't really care whether the fight is real or not!"
Jiang Heng smiled and said, "It's okay, I know my limits!"
He has the help of a "super microcomputer" and his reaction speed is far beyond that of ordinary people.
Moreover, he was in his prime and had sparred with some professional boxers while on vacation overseas, so it was unlikely that he would get injured.
Furthermore, after learning the literary and martial arts, they can be sold to the imperial family.
If you have learned a lot of skills, but then do nothing for fear of getting hurt, what is the point of learning these skills?
You can't say that being a soldier is risky and it's easy to die on the battlefield, so you can't go; that being a bodyguard is risky and it's easy to encounter bandits, so you can't go; that being a guard is servile and has no dignity, and you have to help your boss fight, so you can't go; that opening a school and taking in disciples is easy to arouse jealousy and there may be people coming to challenge you, so you can't go.
And then you keep saying "safety first" all the time, aren't you becoming Li Guobang in "Fang Shiyu"?
I haven't fought anyone for twenty years, and my good kung fu skills have gone to waste!
Jiang Heng insisted on fighting, and Zhou Bili did not dare to refuse. He secretly warned himself in his heart that he must hold back, he must hold back!
But when it came to shooting, he got hit a few times and forgot about it because his mind got heated.
His fists and feet came out at the same time, full of power.
Wang Jing, who was watching from the side, was terrified and wanted to call a stop, but Jiang Heng had instructed before the filming started that he would be the one to call a stop for this scene.
Wang Jing was extremely anxious but could only watch from the side.
But I saw two people in the field fighting back and forth.
Jiang Heng, in particular, seemed to be able to truly "shift the universe". He was always able to anticipate the enemy's moves and arrive first after striking last, which amazed the people around him.
Zhou Bili's strength is recognized by the industry and he is the most capable person in the Hong Kong film and television industry.
Looking at his current state, he doesn't seem to be holding back on his strength, and he still can't hurt Jiang Heng, which is quite terrifying.
After Zhou Bili's initial excitement, he remembered what Wang Jing had told him before the filming began. His hands weakened, and he was finally knocked down as he had imagined when he was performing the routine!
"it is good!"
Fatty Wang shouted loudly, followed by applause.
Jiang Heng didn't allow him to stop the scene, but he didn't say he couldn't shout "good job"!
The people around also applauded, secretly guessing Jiang Heng's ability. Some sighed that Zhou Bili, who was invincible in the film industry back then, has now learned to please the big guys.
This person really changes!
Jiang Hengze pulled Zhou Bili up and said with a smile, "Thank you!"
Zhou Bili stood up and said hurriedly, "Director Jiang is very capable. I accept my defeat with all my heart!"
Jiang Heng chuckled, "You, you said you would fight but you really did, but in the end you still let me fight!" Zhou Bili chuckled when he heard that and stopped explaining.
After going down to rest, Qian Xiaohao came over and asked, "Did you really let him go just now?"
"What do you think?"
Zhou Bili asked back, he didn't want to explain this question, so let everyone guess.
There is popularity only when there is controversy!
Just as he thought, that night, Jiang Heng and Zhou Bili actually fought while filming and it was reported.
Some related photos were also posted online, attracting the attention and heated discussion of netizens.
But because Bonanza Pictures did not mobilize the "water army" to continue the hype, the fans discussed it for a few days and then the enthusiasm died down.
It can only be regarded as an introduction at this moment, and it will be hyped repeatedly before the film is officially released.
However, in the crew of "New Legend of the Condor Heroes", although Jiang Heng was only the leading actor, he still did the work of the director most of the time, and Wang Jing became the "deputy director" instead.
Fortunately, he doesn't care. After all, he doesn't have such high artistic pursuits. The most important thing is to have movies to shoot and make money.
He is making the director's money but doing the assistant director's work. So, in the end, he is the one who makes money!
In the blink of an eye, it was early December and the filming of "New Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber" was completed.
After everyone had a big meal together, they went their separate ways.
Wang Jing returned to the capital with Yu Dong to carry out post-production.
Jiang Heng first returned to Hong Kong and met with Jackie Chan, Stephen Chow and others, and once again expressed his gratitude for their guest appearances.
Zhou Xingxing said with a smile: "Hey, there's no rush to say thank you. When the Mermaid is promoted, you can come and show your support!"
Jiang Heng smiled and said, "Of course!"
Because iQiyi, Youku and Tencent Video accounted for more than half of the investment in the movie "The Mermaid", it can be called their own movie, so they must work hard to help promote it.
Cheng Long on the side said: "Hey, I see you are also good at action scenes, how about you make a cameo appearance in my "Police Story 2013"? "
Because Jing Tian has been in semi-retirement for the past two years, the heroine in this version of "Police Story 2013" has been replaced, and the story seems to be somewhat different from the previous life.
But Jiang Heng agreed without much thought.
The so-called shoulders are equal, and brothers are equal.
There isn't too much difference between them, so it would be beneficial for everyone if they could guest star in each other's roles.
Cheng Long was very happy to hear this, and enthusiastically talked about his idea for the film, and then said with emotion: "One day, we will work together on an action movie, which will definitely go down in film history!"
Jiang Heng laughed, took a sip of wine and said, "It depends on the situation. I won't have time for a while! After the New Year, I will be preparing to shoot a new film!"
Stephen Chow said: "You are truly the real-life version of the Return of the King!"
Cheng Long was a little depressed because he was really thinking about co-producing an action comedy with Jiang Heng.
"What are you going to shoot this time?"
"It is tentatively scheduled to be the sequel to "The Hero Company"!"
"Wow, what a war movie!" Zhou Xingxing exclaimed.
Cheng Long had an embarrassed look on his face, because he felt that his concept was obviously not as grand as the scenes in the sequel to "The King's Avatar".
"Another bunch of handsome men and beautiful women. Your film is really good!"
Jiang Heng smiled and said, "There are more than just those in the first film. There are many more beauties in the sequel!"
Cheng Long's eyes lit up, "Did you see any good seedlings somewhere?"
Jiang Heng smiled, "That's not the case, it's purely for the plot!" (End of this chapter)
