Chapter 376 Noble
Several of the challenging moves were added at Yuan An'er's own request. She loved Hu Xiaoxiao's fight scenes in "Cheng Zhao Feng" and was amazed when she saw them on set during filming. After the film closed, she bought the videotape and watched it over and over again. Every one of those moves is etched in her mind, and she longs to be able to perform them herself one day.
Although Yuan An'er is not good at speaking, she has long regarded Hu Xiaoxiao as her only idol in her heart. She hopes that one day she can catch up with her idol and become a superstar as great as her idol.
This time, she had to use all her potential. She couldn't let Xiong Caiwei and Yilan, who were not from the martial arts background, fight well while she, who had learned martial arts since childhood, was weak.
Thinking that her idol could fight so well in actual combat, it was impossible for her to fail to learn even a little bit of his skills after practicing countless times.
Yuan An'er set very high standards for herself and designed several very difficult aerial rotation moves. With the help of Nie Jinlong, she designed them for entertainment purposes, and the results were very good.
Hu Xiaoxiao only knew that the three girls had practiced for half a year in advance, but she didn't expect that the three girls performed so well. Xiong Caiwei's progress was visible to the naked eye. Yilan not only improved in martial arts, but also improved in acting skills. What surprised her most was Yuan An'er's growth.
Yuan An'er has a relatively honest personality and usually doesn't talk much in front of Hu Xiaoxiao, unlike Xiong Caiwei who chatters non-stop as soon as she sees Hu Xiaoxiao.
Yuan An'er, who is not good at speaking, is inevitably ignored.
But unexpectedly, this girl would make a stunning debut. Hu Xiaoxiao stood outside the court and watched Yuan An'er warming up. Not to mention her flexible movements, the domineering aura in her moves was very rare.
It is very rare to find a martial arts actor who not only knows how to fight, but also fights in a unique way.
Why has Hu Xiaoxiao found such success as an action star, and why has the audience so receptive to her? It's because she possesses a distinctly personal martial arts style. Watching her action scenes is a true pleasure, a unique visual feast.
Hu Xiaoxiao felt that Yuan Aner's martial arts already had this flavor, and with further training, he could become the company's signature action star.
Martial arts films have been popular from the 1970s to the 1990s and are still popular, which shows that there is a huge market for them.
In addition, the influence of Baogang's martial arts films is becoming more and more widespread. Even Hollywood is curious about these magical martial arts moves and comes to Baogang specifically to invite people to provide guidance.
Not to mention how much other places have introduced martial arts action films from Baogang.
Hu Xiaoxiao also considered the vast, untapped, yet incredibly powerful mainland market. Back then, a film about the Shaolin Temple, with tickets costing only a dime per ticket, grossed over 100 million yuan. Meanwhile, even after all these years of thriving film production in Hong Kong, no film has yet surpassed 100 million yuan. Forget 100 million, even 50 million is incredibly rare and worth boasting about.
Therefore, Hu Xiaoxiao is still very optimistic about the future development of martial arts actors. If they want to enter the mainland film and television market in the future, martial arts films will be a good entry point.
Seeing Yuan An'er's performance, Hu Xiaoxiao gained more confidence and also paid more attention to Yuan An'er's growth.
Seeing Yuan An'er pondering some moves, Hu Xiaoxiao walked over and gave her some technical pointers. When performing a move, it's not just about fighting; you also need to pay attention to camera positioning. Different martial arts moves produce different effects from different camera angles. Also, when performing a move, pay attention to controlling your eyes and facial expressions. Your hands and feet must strike, and your eyes and face must act.
Although there are martial arts instructors to help design the movements, martial arts actors also need to take their acting skills into consideration when performing martial arts.
There's also camera awareness: when shooting close-ups, how to magnify the action and increase the sense of compression, as well as appropriate pauses in the rhythm to allow the audience to clearly see the actor's movements.
Therefore, it is not enough for a martial arts actor to just be able to fight; he must also be able to act. Only when the acting and fighting are well coordinated can the fighting be beautiful and the audience be immersed in the play.
When it comes to female martial arts stars who fight beautifully, gracefully, and fiercely, there is no one in Hong Kong who can compare to Hu Xiaoxiao. Or, in other words, there is no one in the world who can compare to Hu Xiaoxiao among female martial arts stars.
Hu Xiaoxiao didn't know everything when she debuted. Her success stems not only from her quick mind and quick learning, but also from her ability to think. After each TV series, she sits in front of the television, staring at her scenes, script in hand, minutely identifying her shortcomings. This is how she accumulates knowledge year after year, constantly identifying her weaknesses and developing her strengths. By learning from others' strengths and humbly seeking advice, she has slowly and step by step reached her current position in the film industry.
Hu Xiaoxiao passed on this knowledge to Yuan An'er, who benefited a lot from listening to it.
Even Xiong Caiwei, Yilan and others nearby couldn't help but come over to listen.
After everything was ready, the fight in the cabin began.
Arya, played by Xiong Caiwei, is the most sharp-tongued. After making a few of the thugs angry and embarrassed, they started fighting.
Just like before, we finish shooting this set of fighting scenes first and then the next one.
Xiong Caiwei's group was ranked first.
Xiong Caiwei lacks martial arts skills, so she makes up for it with other things, such as using dance moves to add beauty, making her martial arts look graceful and beautiful. Her martial arts moves have a strong dance feel.
In addition, Xiong Caiwei also added some careful thoughts. Her long hair looks beautiful. During the fight, when the camera was fixed on her, she seemed to swing her hair unintentionally, turning it into a signature move.
In order to make her hair look good, she studied the movements of several shampoo commercial models and shook her hair in front of the camera every day, trying to make it look natural and good.
When filming the fight scene, she tied her hair into a high ponytail. After a few moves, she did a split, and then, while looking at her opponent, her hair naturally tossed, adding some agility and neatness...
Hu Xiaoxiao stood next to the photographer, watching Xiong Caiwei in the camera trying to use her strengths to make up for her shortcomings, and couldn't help but smile. It seems that Xiong Caiwei is also a very spiritual person.
Nie Jinlong came over and said to Hu Xiaoxiao, "As you are your general, so are your soldiers."
Hu Xiaoxiao laughed and said, "Is Teacher Nie praising himself?"
"I'm praising you. I see some of your shadow when you first debuted in them," Nie Jinlong sighed.
"When I first debuted, I was lucky to meet Teacher Nie. When they debuted, they were also lucky to meet Teacher Nie." Hu Xiaoxiao also felt some emotion. "Teacher Nie, you are one of my benefactors."
Nie Jinlong was delighted. "Then I'm honored."
He joined Shengshi Entertainment and directed another box office hit. His status in the martial arts industry has also risen. The price he gets as a martial arts director is far higher than when he was working at the TV station.
