Mainland filmmakers have different opinions on Li An’s remarks during the exchange.

The industrialization of the film industry is the focus of debate in the circle, and it is still unclear whether to follow the Hollywood model.

People who insist on art theory believe that the Hollywood model has swallowed up the director's creative talent. As an art, film plays a leading role in it, and everything else is a tool to assist directors.

This is true for actors, and this is the director-centered system.

The Chinese film industry has always adopted this creative model, which has created a very high status as a director.

They believe that the Hollywood style cannot be copied in China. In addition to Hollywood, there is also a path to Europe.

European filmmakers advocate personalized creation and criticize the commercialization of Hollywood movies, so Europe is rich in art films. Domestic art schools mainly focus on European films when teaching.

This is the main reason why the domestic film industry advocates art theory.

This is how teachers in school have taught for many years, and this concept has long been deeply rooted.

However, judging from the current situation, Hollywood commercial films are conquering the global film market.

Take "Titanic" as an example. This movie is not only successful in China, but also in all parts of the world. It allows filmmakers around the world to see the power of Hollywood commercial blockbusters.

A box office of over a billion dollars is the best proof.

It seems obvious how to walk the road. The General Administration set up Huaying Group is an attempt, and whether it can be successful or not is unknown.

Some people are not optimistic about Li An's future prospects and believe that Li An will destroy his talents under the Hollywood system.

This kind of thing has been happening for a long time. Many famous European directors went to Hollywood to develop, and few people have achieved success. Their personalities and ideas are difficult to adapt to Hollywood's filming methods.

Domestic media reported on Li An’s arrival in the capital, some of which were sought after and some criticized.

Good Dream Company held a press conference and announced the invitation of Li An to direct "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".

This news was only circulated in the circle before and has not been confirmed. This is the first time that it has been officially explained to the outside world.

The total investment of the film is 10 million US dollars. As for whoever the actors are, they will be announced one after another in the future.

On the one hand, the actors have not yet been decided, but on the other hand, this is a publicity strategy.

Let the media guess and confirm to the actors that relevant news will always appear in the newspapers.

Li An answered the question as a director, he wanted to make a different martial arts film.

He was not just talking. This time he came to Beijing, in addition to selecting actors and watching the outdoor scenes, he was also preparing to visit some famous martial arts masters.

Li An carries a lot of books recording martial arts with him, not martial arts secrets, but the experience of the martial artist. He wants to understand the spirit of the warrior and use it in the movie.

He mentioned this with Lin Zixuan and asked Lin Zixuan to find several mainland martial artists to communicate with him.

Li An pursues a kind of spirit. The martial arts in Xiangjiang martial arts films are different from the drills on martial arts routines. They only use the appearance and spirit of martial arts, not the essence.

Martial arts emphasize real shooting, and moves should effectively defeat opponents.

The martial arts in martial arts films should visually present the dynamic, aesthetic and cinematic sense of movement.

To put it bluntly, it just looks like you can play, it is exciting and handsome. As for whether you can play in reality, it doesn’t matter whether you can play. What’s important is the excitement of the audience watching, and just spend money to buy tickets.

Li An had communicated with the martial arts soldiers in Xiangjiang.

Most of the martial arts in Xiangjiang were from Peking Opera troupes, including Cheng Long, Yuan Heping, Cheng Xiaodong and others, who had studied Peking Opera before.

In Xiangjiang's martial arts films, the tricks are choreography on the Peking Opera stage, which is a concept of "play", not a concept of "martial arts". Martial arts are just a cover.

The most exciting martial arts movements in movies are often compiled by people from Peking Opera martial arts.

They combine martial arts and Peking Opera, and the influence of Peking Opera can be seen from their appearance and figure.

Wu Xing is both handsome and fast when punching and stopping. The strength shown by the two of them when fighting is very dramatic. This is not a real martial art, and it must be written and performed.

The audience will not be nervous or devoted when watching martial arts movies like watching Peking Opera martial arts under the stage.

It presents a beauty of distance, alienation and detachment, which is absolutely different from the feeling of watching a real boxing match.

It is said that there are many martial arts in the martial arts industry in Xiangjiang before, but due to demand, the martial arts moves in the movies and the martial arts moves in reality gradually drift away, and gradually formed a situation where martial arts were put aside and only pursued a sense of movies.

Li An did not want to use the Peking Opera performance to film "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", which is different from Xiangjiang's martial arts practice in this regard.

They thought it would be enough to take a better shot, but Li An wanted to take a more realistic shot.

For example, a sword is double-edged and cannot be swung over the shoulder, otherwise it will easily hurt yourself and the knife can pass through the shoulder.

The martial arts of Xiangjiang are not used correctly in this regard. Using a sword is like a stick, which does not conform to the basic principles of martial arts.

Beating a stick and pointing a sword are all the key points in martial arts.

Xiangjiang Martial Arts does not focus on the principles of martial arts, but uses them when they can. In order to facilitate and screen effects, he developed a set of methods.

Martial arts personnel from mainland China who come from professional schools pay more attention to these things.

However, if the mainland martial arts team or famous martial arts masters really come to make movies, the realistic ones are realistic, but the effect of the filming is not good, and the moves arranged by the Xiangjiang Martial Arts are not beautiful.

Should I use martial arts or dance?

Li An was quite struggling. He came to the mainland to communicate with martial artists in order to find a new way between martial arts and dance.

This is actually something that the Xiangjiang Martial Arts has long verified. Movies are movies and martial arts are martial arts, which is not the same thing at all.

However, Li An was still unwilling to accept it.

The martial arts films he wants to make should not only be good-looking, but also have a spirit in it. Actors must abide by the basic principles of martial arts and must have their own postures when punching and using swords.

Li An didn't want to shoot the scene of fast fighting, he wanted to slow down the martial arts movements for the audience to see.

The filming will be done soon, and it will be fooled and the audience will not delve into it.

It is difficult to slow down. Once it slows down, it is equivalent to enlarging and it is easy to reveal shortcomings.

Li An has a lot of ideas about "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", and the martial arts part is just one of them.

Lin Zixuan introduced to Li An a famous martial artist, Mr. Ma Xianda, to Li An.

Mr. Ma's Ma Family Fist and Ma Family Fist are unique in the mainland martial arts world. He comes from a martial arts family and is good at boxing and weapons such as opening the back, chopping the door, opening the door, poking the feet, etc.

He has served as the chief referee of the national martial arts competition for a long time and has also served as the martial arts director of many domestic film and television dramas.

Li An and Ma Xianda talked a lot about their doubts, one of which was whether martial arts could be played well.

Martial arts itself are also divided into performance and practical combat. Can the performance routine be added to the movie, so that the actors' martial arts performances are not only like dance-like styles, but also have some real things. (To be continued.)
