Chapter 344, Martial Artist, Grandmaster
When we filmed here, we discovered something.
When the filming officially started, Li Yun lost all his masterly demeanor.
Instead, he looks like an ordinary martial arts master.
When facing Jinshan and Master Liao.
He showed a hint of arrogance.
When facing opponents who are also martial artists.
That hint of arrogance is particularly evident.
He is at a high level and is at ease as a martial artist rather than as a master.
Of course Ye Weixin couldn't say anything.
After all, even he himself doesn't understand.
What is the difference between a master and a martial artist? Or maybe in his eyes, there is no essential difference between the two, they are both powerful martial artists.
At this moment, even the trace of the temperament of a kung fu master disappeared from Ye Wen's eyes, and he became like the laborer in short clothes next to him.
Just like Wu Chi Lin.
Just like the masters of boxing gyms in the past, he could only earn a little money to feed himself by digging coal.
And they were exploited very badly.
Li Zhao became the Japs' translator.
Zhou Qingquan's factory is on the verge of collapse.
The war came from the north, and Ip Man, like everyone else, had no power to resist.
Yes, can your fist be faster than a gun? Yes.
Ip Man’s fists have them.
But there is only one Ip Man in the entire Buddhist shirt.
But there were tens of thousands of devil soldiers.
So Ip Man surrendered, it surrendered between dignity and survival.
Faced with a crude contractor, his pride, his confidence, everything was gone.
Could you give me three coppers, sir?
My family can’t make ends meet.
My wife and children still need to eat.
"He is a martial arts master. Isn't this an insult to our martial arts?"
Real martial artists led by Chen Zhihui.
Protest this drama.
Isn't this an insult to martial arts? You are Master Ye, and it's ok for you to show an expression like ordinary people, even when you beg for food, you are still a little cowardly and humble.
An insult, absolutely an insult.
For people like Chen Zhihui, who are martial artists themselves, this is something difficult to accept.
You are a master of your generation. Your spirit, your state represent martial arts.
You represent more than just yourself.
And then there is the martial arts itself.
There is also Chinese martial arts.
Wing Chun.
Well said.
But it's meaningless.
Li Yun at this moment.
It’s Ip Man.
I am Ip Man, and you are still teaching me how to be Ip Man? I thought you were a martial artist with the same ideals as us, an actor who developed to promote Chinese martial arts.
But now you really don't deserve it!
"Can you make a martial arts film? Do you know what a martial arts film is?"
Li Yun turned a deaf ear to this.
Or maybe Ip Man turned a deaf ear.
"You guys from the martial arts group, please stop interfering with our drama group."
At this moment Ren Huada came out to stop it.
There was a glimmer of excitement and enthusiasm in the eyes of this veteran actor.
Yes, excitement and enthusiasm.
When reading the script.
In fact, Simon Yam has always felt that this role has more symbolic significance than practical significance, and that he feels more like a grandmaster than Ip Man.
Very unreal.
The Ip Man in front of him was different.
He is like a living person.
Now he seemed to understand why Li Yun had completely started filming, and the feeling was different from the reading.
The reason is that from the very beginning, he completely abandoned the temperament of a grand master.
Now more like a human being.
A living person.
Knowing how to possess and how to give up, that’s what it feels like.
For Zhang Yongzhi played by Lynn Hung.
What kind of relationship should she have with her husband ?
A lady who lives a leisurely life at home taking care of her husband and children, even after falling into trouble, adheres to the principle of marrying a chicken and marrying a dog and does not leave.
She is a very traditional woman.
As for Xiong Dailin , she actually didn't have much feeling for Ip Man.
He is a man of great kung fu skills, highly respected, gentle and elegant, with a great temperament. He is a perfect husband.
If you think about it carefully, if such a person becomes your husband, it doesn't seem to be that bad.
It's even pretty good.
And at this time.
When this great master of his generation was willing to bow down and kneel for his own sake and disappear into the mundane world.
She suddenly felt a little heartache.
But beneath the background of heartache, there is a pounding heart.
If it is for the sake of one's relatives and children, then the so-called dignity can be thrown away.
Now he is no longer a master, nor is he the leading figure in the martial arts world.
A husband, a father, a human being.
People who work hard for a living.
Somewhat ordinary.
But it seems.
More worthy of love.
The heart-pounding feeling appeared as Lynn Hung immersed herself in the role.
When they were acting out scenes, there was a hint of natural emotion in their expressions.
I'm into the role.
She entered the role as Ip Man's wife.
More like a wife.
A wife who shares weal and woe.
In a natural relationship between husband and wife, a feeling of love will emerge.
Even Yuan Jinbao, who focuses on martial arts scenes, and Zhen Zidan and others.
You can see the feeling contained in it.
The young couple who shared weal and woe made Ip Man look more like a human being.
Even if Chen Zhihui and others are dissatisfied.
But just like what Ren Huada said.
They have no control over the literary drama group.
The most abstract person at this time is Ye Weixin.
As a screenwriter and director, he himself cannot control Simon Yam.
He can't control Li Yun now.
He even took the initiative when acting.
Not following the script at all.
He wanted to retort.
But Li Yun acted really well.
He is like Ip Man himself, perfectly controlling the life of this character and manipulating the trajectory of this world.
Loving and being loved, they seem to live in a concrete and real world.
Even though it was devastated by war.
I also have things that I stick to.
What Ip Man sticks to is his wife and children.
Including Master Liao, martial arts fanatic Lin, and even the open traitor Li Zhao.
They all have their own persistence.
The once arrogant Master Liao was willing to bow down to the Japanese for three bags of rice. His fists and his arrogance were all gone.
Chen Zhihui acted well.
There are even some natural performances that come from his heart. After all, for him, Chinese martial arts are currently in their current state.
Although he hated the servile attitude of Li Yun's Ip Man, he could do it and even empathize with him.
After all, this is what Chinese martial arts are like in reality today.
It is far less popular than Muay Thai and mixed martial arts.
Chen Zhihui can show it.
He just couldn't stand Li Yun's portrayal of the master in such a undignified way.
Is he worthy of being a master if he has no dignity at all?
"This martial arts movie is a real flop, a spineless flop"
"I feel like I'm losing control. Is it my imagination?"
"It's not your illusion, it's really out of control."
At this point, no matter what Zhen Zidan did.
One thing can also be seen.
The drama scene is out of control.
Does this really matter? Yes, but not a big deal.
Because the literary part has the possibility of getting out of control, there was such a risk when we invited the famous actor Ren Huada to come.
Therefore, during the reading session, Renhuada was fully responsible for this department's part.
He is even considered half a director.
There's nothing I can do, they are just that professional.
A battle-hardened art film actor.
But now something seems to be wrong.
The difference is that it did not get out of control to Ren Huada.
Still lost control and gave it to Li Yun.
Gave it to Ip Man.
The rhythm of the entire crew's literary drama follows Li Yun.
Renhuada, Lynn Hung, Dongguanzi.
They all followed Li Yun's rhythm.
Who is the director?
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Ye Weixin is.
Who is the real director? In the literary part.
Li Yun is the real director.
Dominating the overall situation Generally speaking, a serious director would not let this happen, and Ye Weixin is even more so.
Even Weixin Ye is a mature director.
But for now, it’s still surprising that this happened.
The entire control is led by Li Yunlai.
"It's incredible. I feel like the rhythm of the entire drama is controlled by Li Yun. This young man is controlling the script right under my nose."
"really."
Zhen Zidan didn't expect this either.
Originally, Ip Man just wanted to find a young man who was good at kung fu to replace him.
Finally, a grandfather was found.
This guy not only took on the role of the leading actor.
He even took over the director's job.
This made them feel extremely shocked.
What shocked Zhen Zidan even more was...
Regarding the matter of having my job taken away.
Ye Weixin actually behaved so calmly.
He had worked with this old director many times and knew what his temper was like.
He is definitely not someone who will compromise easily.
Unless it made sense to him.
For example, the current situation.
Ye Weixin felt it from the bottom of his heart.
What Li Yun said makes sense.
In other words, everything that Li Yun is leading at this moment makes sense in Ye Weixin's view.
As the producer and screenwriter of this film.
Without realizing it, he quietly transferred his rights as a director to Li Yun.
Gave it to Ip Man.
Now he is the director of this film.
A director who has the dominant power in literary drama.
In fact, Ren Huada would occasionally think about competing with Li Yun for control of the movie.
He just tried his best to act.
In fact, this actor, who gave his all in the performance, did express his own understanding of the image of businessmen who are struggling to survive in this era.
It expresses the epitome of the powerless little people of this era.
And he gradually sank.
Even know the origin of this feeling.
From Li Yun.
This young actor never thought that Li Yun could become the host.
To be able to do this.
This kind of acting.
It's quite amazing.
It was so amazing that even the biggest movie star couldn't help but admire it.
"I seem to be led by him and gradually sink into depravity."
At this time, Ren Huada murmured.
He only regretted that he didn't play a more exciting role.
A literary drama led by Li Yun.
Ip Man is the de facto director.
At this time, Ye Weixin had tacitly ceded part of the director's rights to Li Yun, allowing Li Yun to fully display his talents.
No one understands his world better than Ip Man.
This is what Ye Weixin thought.
Li Yun is in this world.
Ip Man exists in this world.
This originally pure martial arts film became less pure under Li Yun's manipulation.
It's no longer about using exhilarating fighting scenes as a gimmick.
Instead, there is a different flavor in it.
Ip Man as an ordinary person, Ip Man as a powerless person.
Like an ordinary person, he bowed his head for a bite of food and lowered his head for his family.
Martial arts masters also have their weaknesses.
Besides, there is nothing a martial arts master can do.
He can't change anything.
To play an exhibition match against the Japanese just for a bite of rice.
He went to do it.
You can get three bags of rice for each fight.
Master Liao also went to do it.
Wu Chi Lin also went to do it.
But both Master Liao and Wu Chi Lin are dead.
Wu Chi Lin died because he was inferior to his opponent in skills, but he burst out with unprecedented courage and rushed towards the Japanese soldiers.
He is not Ip Man and cannot dodge bullets.
Can't disassemble the gun.
If you are approached by a gun, you will die.
He died in front of Ip Man.
This martial arts fanatic who had always wanted Ip Man, the martial arts master, to help him, finally shook his head at him.
Don't do it.
You can't beat him.
In other words, your fists are useless.
They have lots of guns.
Master Liao is dead.
Wu Chi Lin also died.
They have martial arts that they are very proud of.
Martial arts were completely defeated here and were defeated by gunfire.
In fact, when filming this part, Chen Zhihui and his team felt that this script directed by Li Yun was definitely a failure.
How can you slander martial arts like this?
At this point in the filming, both Wu Chi Lin and Master Liao were killed by the colonel's adjutant's gun.
So what if you can beat them? They have guns and you are just prey.
Just like when those devils first entered Foshan and burned, killed, looted and seized property.
What can you do to him?
What can the hometown of martial arts do to him ?
It's useless.
"I've never seen a kung fu movie shot this way." At this time, Yuan Jinbao also despaired about this movie.
He also said that Ye Weixin's inexplicable delegation of power was inappropriate.
This directly denies martial arts.
You can beat him if you fight him fairly.
But there is no fair fight on the battlefield .
Just when Ye Weixin was about to say something.
Li Yun came on the field and Ip Man took action. There were no excessive words. In Wing Chun, the body is the most powerful language.
All ten of you, come together.
No need for body doubles, no need for editing, all of you superb Kyokushin karate masters, come together.
"May I?"
At this time, the dragon and tiger martial artist who was in charge of leading these people asked for the martial arts instructor.
Asked Zhen Zidan and Yuan Jinbao.
Two fists are no match for four hands, let alone twenty hands.
"Real fight or fake fight?"
After hesitating for a long time, Zhen Zidan finally spoke.
"real."
"good."
Anyway, that was what the martial arts instructor said, and with Zhen Zidan's guarantee, he felt at ease letting people do the fighting.
Then.
Wing Chun, one shot.
In a real fight, Li Yun really knocked down ten Kyokushin karate masters by himself.
This made Chen Zhihui and others, who originally had a lot of opinions about him, feel uncomfortable.
Speechless.
A bit shocking.
He is really good at fighting.
