Behind the scenes of the martial arts champion Su Qier: Stephen Chow tricked his classmates into making a guest appearance, and Xu Shaoqiang starred in another mystery.

I don't know, do you have the feeling that Stephen Chow's works have been read too much, and you can always guess the ending at the beginning of the works, but strangely, you can't guess what will happen next second.

Kung fu is like this, so is food, and so is martial arts champion Su ... Why? It took me a long time to discover that many of Stephen Chow's works have such a "routine", that is, no matter what the framework of the story is, we can always find a little person's "intersection of sadness and joy" in it, as if these works were labeled as "hard work, inspiration and struggle".

It is said that the core of Stephen Chow's works is tragedy and comedy is only superficial, but as far as Su Qi, the champion of the Wu Dynasty, is concerned, it is the only one among Stephen Chow's many works that reveals the tragic plot.

Come to think of it, it's true. These king of comedy and Chinese Odyssey, who are known as "You only know when you have experienced them", are full of tragic characters, but after careful understanding, you will find that they can only be called looming melancholy, but only stop worrying, and can't rise to a real tragedy.

Edison Chen once said in an interview that when he is depressed and unhappy, he will feel better when he sleeps as long as he watches one or two Stephen Chow movies. Maybe many people don't understand that Stephen Chow's works have such great "magic power"?

For a while, I didn't quite understand. I thought it might be the funny plot in the film, which triggered the change of mood. But when I slowly stepped into the society, I realized that it was not only those nonsense comedies that changed my mood, but also the cure of Stephen Chow!

In king of comedy, a "walk-on" can find the goal of life; In The Judge of Death, civilians can defeat the "aristocrats"; In shaolin soccer, garbage collectors can also win the championship trophy; Even a teenager who became a beggar in the champion of Wu Su can become a "overlord among beggars". It turns out that in Stephen Chow's works, he became a medicine to cure us. The sufferings of the characters in those movies have finally changed and gained a new life. We no longer simply read some "adult fairy tales" and "chicken soup for the soul", but turn these inspirational stories into a psychological sustenance.

In Stephen Chow's "slightly grandiose" acting skills, we saw the confusion we had experienced, and we were caught in the mire, afraid to face the reality and fantasized about how to escape. But under Stephen Chow's nervous performance, the character is as real as you and me, and he shocked me.

Teachers who have never taught us the true meaning of life are deeply branded into our hearts by him. It was he who made us believe at the low tide of life that we would all be saved without hope, just as Stephen Chow showed us in his works.

Today, let's talk about the behind-the-scenes story of Stephen Chow's representative work "Wu Zhuangyuan Su Qier"!

0 1、

At that time, when the director got the script of "Wu Zhuangyuan Su Gai", he was more entangled than happy, and even had the idea of not wanting to shoot this work. The reason is that there are only two sous in my heart, one is from many years ago and the other is.

However, Su gave a bad impression, so in my opinion, who can play a good role that even can't play well? At the same time, there is another reason. He shoots more fashion films, but he has never touched martial arts films. Therefore, he is not good at describing the characters. In addition, Sue is a figure who likes to be a beggar and doesn't like being an official, but is good at establishing prestige. This kind of character is written by literati and is not accepted by the world, so he is unwilling to take over Su, the champion of Wulin.

02、

But his arm can't twist his thigh. At the insistence of the company, Chen Jiashang had to compromise, because the martial arts films coincided with the mainstream at that time, and he had to go with the flow under the general trend.

This is the first time that director Chen Jiashang directed a martial arts film. On the first day of shooting, Chen Jiashang met with difficulties and didn't even understand the basic actor positioning, because the fashion film was very simple, and the filming began as soon as the camera was set, so the ancient costume was different. People meet in different ways, some bow and some kneel.

Later, due to the experience of Ng Man Tat, many places gave Chen Jiashang advice, and Chen Jiashang gradually got better!

In the process of filming "Wu Zhuangyuan Su", there was a scene of "property theft".

Before shooting, Chen Jiashang said to Stephen Chow, "Give me a lonely shot", but Stephen Chow asked Chen Jiashang, "What would you do?"

Chen Jiashang was a little confused because he didn't know.

Stephen Chow looked around the camera and asked Chen Jiashang, "How do you position yourself?" Chen Jiashang said, "No matter how I play, I want a feeling of emptiness."

Stephen Chow said, "Well, I'll think about it."

Later, after the official shooting, Stephen Chow went directly to a smoky bed and sang Nanyin (1) on it. This scene shocked Chen Jiashang at that time. At that moment, he realized that the most lonely moment of people was not crying or crying, but the calm appearance and an extreme portrayal of inner depression.

Accompanied by a slightly bleak southern voice, that moment was extremely real and touching.

Stephen Chow is singing and Chen Jiashang is watching through the lens. At that moment, he saw a talented actor and couldn't help but sigh: "He is still the best actor so far!" "

Note ① Nanyin: Nanyin, also known as "Xianguan" and "Quanzhou Nanyin", is a traditional music in southern Fujian Province and one of the world-class intangible cultural heritages.

At that time, Stephen Chow was forced to "eat dog food". When this scene ended, Stephen Chow suddenly said this to Chen Jiashang:

"I can't stand it. It's really hard to see Big Brother's devotion and seriousness in eating dog food. If my dad really did it, it would be hard for me not to work hard. "

Looking back on many of Stephen Chow's works, he cooperated with Ng Man Tat the most. Perhaps in others' eyes, Ng Man Tat is only a supporting role, but in fact, in Stephen Chow's works, Ng Man Tat acts as an "accelerator" for the acting of Master Xing. I think, without the promotion of Uncle Su, the star master must not have that kind of "power".

I wonder if I can see this pair of cp appear on the screen in my lifetime. I think it must be very lively at that time!

There is a scene in Su, the champion of Wu, in which Stephen Chow goes out begging and meets his sweetheart by accident.

In fact, in the original script, Sharla Cheung did not take out a few white steamed buns, but took out a bowl of dog food to feed him, and even said to Su Can.

: "Don't live up to expectations, eat dog food all your life!"

This sentence was a turning point for Su Can. After hearing this sentence, he began to wake up and work hard.

But when filming here, Chen Jiashang suddenly felt that it is impossible for people to work hard in this situation, because modern people don't work hard because they have experienced these things, but choose hardship more. People are not given dog food to help them.

Therefore, Chen Jiashang temporarily changed this scene to: Su Can was forced to eat dog food. When his sweetheart saw him like that, he didn't dare to recognize him, for fear of hurting his self-esteem, so he silently waited for that person to cheer up. This may be the "strength" of this drama, because only when people are in the most tragic situation will the struggling heart come back.

So Chen Jiashang specially filmed a scene in which Master Xing cried. At that time, many people wondered why there was a touching scene in Stephen Chow's works. Chen Jiashang asked, "Why not?" That's true. After this drama, Xingye has established the ability to "control blockbusters" since then!

In Su, the martial arts champion, played the villain role in the film.

At that time, many people didn't understand why Stephen Chow recommended Xu Shaoqiang to Chen Jiashang. On the one hand, they are not familiar with each other. On the other hand, they have almost no intersection in the circle, and even Xu Shaoqiang himself is confused.

Later, "Little Turtle" Huang Yishan asked Stephen Chow curiously. Stephen Chow admitted that he liked singing and dancing in discos before he became popular. But at that time, although he had a lot of time, he had no money, but Xu Shaoqiang once invited him to dance. Because the conditions in Xu Shaoqiang were very good at that time, people were often invited to dance for dinner, so I didn't remember it at all, but Stephen Chow remembered it.

So, when Stephen Chow became popular, he planned to find a chance to repay Xu Shaoqiang's A Dance. At first, he wanted to ask him to film Truant, but he didn't think there was a role for Xu Shaoqiang. Later, when filming "The Master of Wulin Su", I met the role of a martial arts expert, so Stephen Chow thought of it again.

02.

Xu Shaoqiang plays "Zhao Wuji" in "The First Master of Wulin Su Qier". The whole body exploded and died after the "eighteen palms hit the dragon". In order to show a good visual effect, the prop team installed more than 60 blasting devices on Xu Shaoqiang and used many machines to shoot in all directions.

But during the filming, Stephen Chow was laughing. At first, Xu Shaoqiang thought that Stephen Chow was laughing because of his acting skills. Later, he found that he was not acting, but laughing at his "explosion death" scene, or even "teasing"!

Playing so hard, Stephen Chow was laughing aside, which made Xu Shaoqiang very helpless. He was not injured in the blasting, but Stephen Chow's laughter made him "seriously injured"!

Xu Shaoqiang has no intention of accusing Stephen Chow of this practice. On the contrary, he found Stephen Chow very interesting. He even commented that Stephen Chow is an actor with a flexible head and a professional job. Many actors can't compete with him! "

In the 1970s, Xu Shaoqiang mostly faced the audience as a hero. Later, he made a subversive change and began to try villains slowly. In addition to many supporting roles in the film, Xu Shaoqiang's "Life and Death Field" and "Wild Silkworm Change" became classic characters on the screen, which also established his image as a "hero" with both good and evil!

But the character that impressed me the most, besides Yunfei, was Ximen Qing's father!

Halfway through the filming of the martial arts champion Su Qier, Stephen Chow called Li Jianren, a childhood friend, and said, "Have you been to Beijing?"

Li Jianren said, "No," Stephen Chow said, "Come and play. I am waiting for you here. "

So under Stephen Chow's bluff, Li Jianren went to Beijing to "travel"!

As a result, when Li Jianren arrived in Beijing to meet Stephen Chow, he asked Stephen Chow, "What did you ask me to play?"

Stephen Chow said, "Come and sit down and do me a favor first."

As a result, as soon as he sat down, a makeup artist came. After putting on makeup, Li Jianren got a fright and wanted to beat Stephen Chow on the spot, because he had never seen such an ugly person.

02.

In this way, Su, the first expert in Wulin, tried to dress up as a man for the first time. Unexpectedly, although it was only a cameo, it attracted many audiences' love, and then he cameo in Stephen Chow's many works as "Flower" in "Tang Bohu Dianqiuxiang" and "Nine-grade Sesame Officer", which left a deep impression on the audience!

If you want to talk about the friends of Master Xing, Li Jianren can be said to be the first to bear the brunt. They met in junior high school, studied together, played together and fought together ... The reason why he disfigured the star master was because of his loyalty. Although this role has brought him a lot of troubles (afraid to take his daughter out for fear of being laughed at), he said that he has no regrets, so it is rare to have a confidant in life!

At the end of the film, Stephen Chow and a group of beggars' sect disciples fought a decisive battle with the enemy. This scene was very successful because the officers and men were sent to help.

At four o'clock in the morning on the day of shooting, Chen Jiashang waited at the scheduled place early, because the day before shooting, Chen Jiashang and several leaders of the army surveyed the shooting place, so Chen Jiashang made preparations early on the day of shooting, waiting for the officers and men to arrive at the designated place.

At dawn, in the loud military songs, many military vehicles sailed to the studio in an orderly manner. Originally, Chen Jiashang thought that it would take an hour for so many officers and men to get dressed and make preparations. As a result, it only took them 65,438+05 minutes. At this moment, Chen Jiashang really saw the discipline and efficiency of China's army.

02.

Every time shooting a blasting scene, in addition to the props group inspection of the crew, the head of the army will also check it one by one. When shooting, everyone present will complete an order quickly and neatly. When the studio is resting, the officers and men will practice aside without a moment's rest.

Because of the participation of military officers, we can see the sense of neatness and order in the film, which was originally planned to be filmed in six days and only took four days to complete. In fact, in many movies of that year, the plots of many big scenes were not filmed by computer animation as they are now, but were done by many people.

But if you are looking for ordinary actors, first of all, the number is a big problem, and secondly, it is not easy to implement it uniformly. Therefore, you can see the shadow of the army in many movies of that year, such as Jet Li's "Tai Zhang Chi Sanfeng".

In Stephen Chow's works, most of them are stories of Diaosi's counterattack. Unknown students have reached a certain height through some adventures, while Su's works are just the opposite. From being careless and arrogant in the young master stage to being down and out in the middle stage, even my self-esteem was trampled by others in my life, and I didn't understand the true meaning of life until later.

If we want to say the three works that best represent Stephen Chow, personally, Sue will definitely occupy a place. Compared with the struggle history of a little person, this film is the opposite, and at the same time, it is full of great sorrow and joy, ups and downs, joys and sorrows, and complement each other. Especially at the end of the sentence, "The number of beggars is not in my charge, but in your charge, which makes the film rise to a new height!"

Sometimes, when we look back, we are not "Su Can". From being groggy when we were young, to being confused about life when we were adults, and finally to being thirty, we were cruelly crushed under the carriage of reality, and Su Can was constantly growing. Aren't we?

02.

Su Can, a seemingly simple figure, is actually extremely complicated. Complexity lies not in the torture of external forces, but in the remolding and pursuit of the characters' hearts. Therefore, these characteristics of "tears in laughter" are not only reflected in family affection and love, but also come from philosophy. This role was trampled on, from initial dullness and pride to middle-aged self-esteem, and lost self ... Finally, after the old beggar finished speaking, he finally realized.

Chen Jiashang mentioned in the interview that many of Stephen Chow's characters are in a state of counterattack, and the unknown students have achieved some transcendence through some adventures, but this work is just reversed, and Stephen Chow has precipitated a lot through this work! Anyone who knows Master Xing should know that he likes to exaggerate and preach invisibly. You can say that the work "Wu Zhuangyuan Su" is a bit grandiose, but you have to admit that it really touches the bottom of my heart.

03.

In addition to Stephen Chow's funny and inspirational elements, the family drama with Ng Man Tat is the "highlight" of the film.

In fact, the image of father depicted by my uncle is not as taciturn, strict and inarticulate as our traditional father. On the contrary, he is a humorous and open-minded father, who will not pretend to be deep or bossy. His "penholder" father is very obscure, and his injury is hidden in his faint smile. His expectation and helplessness for his son are always hidden in the exaggerated changes of sadness and joy! With his superb acting skills, uncle hides his father's love in his simple laughter, and the fragments of his expectation and helplessness are sometimes even more wonderful than his bittersweet.

The father and son experienced twists and turns, from wealth to poverty, and finally the rain cleared up. The affection between father and son is as wonderful as the comedy itself.

Perhaps this is the most profound core of this work.

No matter how difficult it is, we should dry our tears and stand up and laugh!
