Master Zhang turned to look at Zhang Ying.
Zhang Ying took a few steps back and said, "Master Zhang, you don't need to put in so much effort when filming now."
The big scenes all use special effects; we just need to strike a pose.
Zhang Ying is right; there are still a few actors who seriously study action scenes.
Mr. Zhang sighed in disappointment.
He glanced at the sword in his hand, raised his arm again, and assumed a simple starting stance. "Chang Xuan, you can use this move when we pass through the bamboo forest later..."
Seeing Master Zhang's dejected look, Xu Yanyu's lips moved slightly.
She gripped the sword tightly, wanting to tell Master Zhang that she could give it a try.
At this moment, Director Wei, who was standing next to Xu Yanyu, said, "Master Zhang meant well, but today's actors are different from the older generation."
Everyone's martial arts foundation is poor, and even if he teaches them until next year, they still won't achieve the results he wants.
It's already quite good if the actors can make some movements look good and keep them fluid.
I'll have the post-production team do a good job with the rendering, which will make up for some of the shortcomings in the action scenes.
Xu Yanyu understood.
This situation is the result of industry consensus.
If even directors are forced to compromise on such situations, then it's no wonder everyone is becoming increasingly lax.
At this point, the assistant director chimed in, "The older generation of actors really did a great job. Back then, when we were filming together, even actors like Chang Xuan had to go back and practice their movements."
The film is mostly shot, and everyone knows the skill level of the actors.
Chang Xuan's action scenes are so good that they are still impeccable in the industry.
Currently, Xu Yanyu is the only one who hasn't participated in filming any large-scale action scenes.
However, the assistant director felt that they shouldn't have too high hopes.
Xu Yanyu's action scenes are really good; she must have had opportunities to showcase them before.
Xu Yanyu had no idea what the assistant director was thinking. She picked up the unsharpened, flower-patterned short sword that the props department had just given her and found a corner to practice on.
In the previous storyline, Liu Jing always used the Xuanqin (a type of zither), so Xu Yanyu had never actually touched a sword.
To cater to the audience's demands, Director Wei added more fight scenes to the following shots.
Master Zhang just told her that it was fortunate she was a diligent learner and hadn't been lazy, always studying with Zhang Ying and the others.
So it was easy to teach her.
What Xu Yanyu practiced before wasn't martial arts at all.
After drawing the martial arts skill book from the system, she finally realized that Master Zhang hadn't really made things difficult for everyone before, and what he taught wasn't even a fancy trick.
Unfortunately, even with these fancy features, people still complain that it's too difficult.
