The anti-fraud bureau needs a promotional video, and you're going to make a "Desperate Gam

Chapter 173 Director Pang approves of "Raging Storm"!! (Please subscribe!!)
In the pilot video.

Everyone was quite surprised when they saw Donnie Yen's portrayal of Ip Man facing ten warriors.

"My God, how is it possible for one person to fight ten?"

"Kill those bastards who bullied us back then."

"Yes, Master Ye, cut through his middle lane."

"Keep it up, Master Ye!"

And in the battle that followed.

Facing a martial artist who was kicking directly at him, Ip Man first blocked with his left fist, and then grabbed the man's leg and threw him to the ground.

Then he stepped on his head.

The first samurai was defeated after only five seconds of fighting.

The second warrior took advantage of Ip Man's momentary lapse in attention and launched a sneak attack, but Ip Man countered with a palm strike, knocking him to the ground.

The next move was a fist strike that knocked back the third samurai.

In this video.

Ip Man, with ten warriors, was not at a disadvantage in the slightest.

On the contrary, they handled it with ease.

He vented his anger on these warriors with great grief and indignation.

Every punch lands hard; there's absolutely no mercy.

In particular, when a martial artist stepped forward, Ip Man directly chopped a vital point with his hand.

In a one-against-many situation, the key is combat efficiency.

The entire two-minute teaser trailer is filled with fighting.

But there were no special effects, and not a single slow-motion shot was used.

All of them were real attacks.

Viewers thoroughly enjoyed watching it.

This made them even more curious about the movie.

"My god, this is so awesome! It's got my blood pumping!"

"Yes, I never expected that Director Song would actually be able to make a martial arts movie."

"By the way, who was the martial arts choreographer for this movie? How did they manage to design so many amazing fight scenes?"

"I guess Director Song must have hired the best martial arts choreographer, otherwise it would be difficult to design such excellent shots."

"I can't wait to see it in the movie theater."

Originally, everyone thought that Song Hao's choice of Ip Man as the character to film was not the best choice.

After all, choosing Bruce Lee might generate more buzz.

But he perfectly embodied the spirit of Ip Man's Wing Chun.

Song Hao captured the hearts of a group of passionate young people with just two minutes of fighting.

They all agreed that this pilot video was definitely among the best in the martial arts film genre.

Song Hao also knew that once this pilot video was released, it would definitely attract a lot of attention.

But he couldn't rush things, after all, there was still a big show to come that required careful preparation.

During this process, someone posted the trailer for "Ip Man" online.

As luck would have it, the video was seen by that foreign taekwondo athlete.

He went even further, posting a direct and candid comment: "Oh my god, is that all?"

He even felt that these fancy moves were not up to par at all.

The taunts from the Taekwondo athletes further enraged Chinese netizens.

They were all commenting in Song Hao's comment section, hoping that he could finish filming and release the film soon.

We'll show them what real traditional kung fu and Chinese martial arts are all about.

While filming, Song Hao was also writing the script for "Raging Storm".

To save time.

He had someone take the script for the first 15 episodes, which he had already written, to Director Pang of the Anti-Corruption Bureau for review.

When Director Pang saw the script for "The Storm," he was quite surprised.

He believes that "The Storm" is not much worse than "In the Name of the People".

Moreover, it depicts the anti-corruption image in a different way.

This is a very good topic.

"The story of a fishmonger who gradually becomes a gang leader is interesting."

Director Pang immediately replied to Song Hao: "The story's premise is excellent. Write with confidence, and show it to me when you're finished."

With Director Pang's approval, Song Hao felt confident and boldly got to work.

Meanwhile, filming for "Ip Man" is also in full swing.

There are still three major shows to be performed.

When all the enemies pointed guns at Ip Man, Miura said, "If you pledge your loyalty to us and teach us Chinese Kung Fu, then you will have no right to live."

Lam Ka-tung, who plays Li Zhao, translates from the side: "He said he admires you and wants you to teach them kung fu."

Although Ip Man was sitting on the ground, he still proudly raised his head and said with a firm look in his eyes, "I will not teach you. If you want to see me fight so much, then I will fight you."

This line will also be the most inspiring line in the play.

After filming the scene, Song Hao said to Dan Hazel, "In the last scene, you have to fight with actor Miura. You have to bring your emotions into this scene. You have to fight for the cotton mill workers behind you, for the people of Chancheng, and for the country that is suffering."

Hazelnut Dan nodded: "Understood."

"I'm not killing you, and I want you to be my instructor because I admire your skills, but I don't believe that Chinese martial arts are better than ours."

Then, the final scene is the two's big fight in the ring.

This scene requires a lot of extras.

When they learned that the scene was a fight between Ip Man, played by Donnie Yen, and his enemies, they all signed up.

The fight against Japanese pirates is a memory etched into everyone's bones.

They all wanted to see how Ip Man defeated his enemies.

"Today is our last day! Everyone must make sure to take good photos!"

"Scene 125, Act 8! Begin!"

The camera immediately focused on the so-called General Miura.

He was dressed in samurai attire, kneeling on the arena, waiting.

Li Zhao shouted from the stage: "General Sanpu said that we should strengthen cultural exchanges between the two countries. Today, I am here with Master Ye to compete fairly, exchange ideas, make friends through martial arts, and achieve peace."

At this point, the extras in the audience also became disdainful.

Although Song Hao had already explained his general mood to them at the beginning.

But when filming actually started, Song Hao discovered that they were truly filled with disgust.

It seems I have an innate dislike for this Japanese people.

One of them said through gritted teeth, "Fair competition? That's a nice way of putting it."

They were also cursing Li Zhao on stage, believing that he had sold his soul and was working for the enemy.

At this moment, Li Zhao felt a mix of emotions, but he didn't say much.

soon.

Ip Man's role is about to appear.

Song Hao asked the photographer to zoom in and give him a close-up.

Despite being followed by several enemies, Ip Man showed no fear whatsoever.

A martial artist who lacks courage will find their skills stagnating and will be unable to achieve victory.

Li Zhao also recalled his words of advice to Ip Man, telling him never to defeat Miura, or he would be shot dead.

"Life is of utmost importance!" This is Li Zhao's philosophy.

But after hearing this, Ip Man just smiled helplessly.

It seems that they had already made their decision.

Martial arts, while a form of armed force, embodies Confucian philosophy and martial virtue, which is benevolence and extending empathy to others.

"This is a truth that you Japanese pirates will never understand."

"Turning force into violence and then using it to suppress others."

"You are not worthy to learn our martial arts."

As a samurai, Miura studied karate and taekwondo, and wore samurai attire.

Ip Man, on the other hand, used traditional Wing Chun. Song Hao looked at the monitor and then said to them, "For the next two minutes, you will perform the movements I designed beforehand. The cameraman must capture the perfect shots!"

"no problem."

"Okay, Director Song."

If Dan and others had heard Song Hao say this at the beginning of filming, they might have had some doubts.

But after a month of getting to know each other, they truly witnessed Song Hao's expertise in martial arts instruction.

Although Song Hao is not a professional martial arts practitioner, his choreography and camera presence are impeccable.

Is this the legendary genius?!
Hazelnut Dan even praised him as being better than the top martial arts instructors in the country.

Therefore, when filming began, they all perfectly replicated the movements designed by Song Hao.

"start!"

Sanpu took the initiative, striding forward and throwing a punch directly at Ip Man.

Ip Man used both hands to defend, and after finding an opening in his opponent's defense, he struck Miura's chin directly with a palm strike.

This close-up shot greatly excited Song Hao.

The fight scenes are incredibly realistic.

The extras in the audience were also very excited.

This excitement wasn't acted out.

They genuinely hoped that Master Ye on stage could defeat the Japanese pirates.

"it is good!"

"Nice fight!"

Despite their excitement, the extras still had to project an air of fear.

After all, the enemy in front of them was still holding a gun and pointing it at them.

However, this intense desire for one's own people to win the ring cannot be acted out.

These are all genuine expressions of emotion!
While watching the TV series, Song Hao said into the walkie-talkie to the cameramen, "Close-up, I want close-ups of their faces!"

As expected, after being knocked back two steps by Ip Man, Miura showed an expression of disbelief.

On the other side, Ip Man, through close-up shots, looked determined to win. The next second, he glanced slightly to the right, as if referring to the script.

Camera switch.

The adjutant and Li Zhao were also very surprised.

Because before this, they had threatened Ip Man that he absolutely could not defeat Miura.

At the same time, the actor playing the adjutant also gave an outstanding performance.

His eyes were filled with ferocity, as if he would not hesitate to shoot Ip Man if he gained the upper hand.

At this moment, Hazelnut Dan seemed to have truly entered the scene.

He no longer cares about any so-called threats; he only wants to defeat the other side.

The murderous intent in his eyes was a sign of a person with backbone and integrity in China.

Immediately afterwards, he began to roll up his sleeves.

The moment Ip Man rolled up his sleeves, it meant he was getting serious.

The next scene.

The entire sequence features real, hard-hitting martial arts action.

There was no borrowing.

Moreover, Song Hao wanted to showcase the best competitive form of both players.

They never called a halt.

They were left to fight on the stage.

All you need to do is capture the best shots.

The extras in the audience had never seen such a wonderful performance before.

What they usually see is a scene where they film a single action and then yell "Cut!"

Where else can you find such smooth fight scenes?

Moreover, as descendants of the Chinese nation, they naturally hoped that Ip Man could win.

Even without Song Hao's reminder, their eyes were on the stage the entire time.

Moreover, all the emotions expressed are spontaneous.

This also led Song Hao to ask the photographer to take more pictures of the extras' expressions.

In this scene, Miura and Ip Man, as opponents, fought on stage for nearly ten minutes.

Later, Song Hao told them to take a break and continue filming later.

Both of them said they didn't need a rest and wanted to continue.

that's it.

In the final scene, as Sanpu fell, Ip Man received cheers from everyone present.

The extras were even more excited, shouting as if to express their joy.

It was as if all the emotions that had been building up for so long were suddenly ignited at this moment.

it's here.

Song Hao will switch between shots during post-production editing.

In Ip Man's perspective, he first looks at the enthusiastic audience, and then at the devastated city and dilapidated buildings.

This creates a stark contrast.

This also allows everyone to better understand the state of the country at that time.

Martial arts cannot save the country.

But the spirit of martial arts can.

Everyone must have a tenacious spirit; as long as you are not killed, there is always a chance to turn things around.

Fortunately.

With the help of his friends, the injured Ip Man left Chancheng with his wife and children.

That concludes the filming of this movie.

The day filming wrapped.

Song Hao approached each of the martial arts actors, toasted them, and said, "You are among the few martial arts actors I can work with. I hope this film can restore everyone's confidence in martial arts films, and I also hope that you can make more good-looking and meaningful martial arts movies."

"Director Song, at first, I thought you might only be able to make some war movies or movies with a patriotic theme, but I didn't expect you to be able to direct action scenes. I'm really impressed." Shao Huang was also straightforward and expressed his admiration.

The other instructors also exclaimed in admiration: "At first, I didn't expect that Director Song would also be a martial arts choreographer. I was wondering who our crew's martial arts choreographer was. Could it be that he figured it out himself? I never expected that the martial arts choreographer would be Director Song."

Dan Hazel commented, "Regardless of the box office performance of this movie, at least it has fulfilled a dream of mine, which is to get one step closer to my idol Bruce Lee. I am also very grateful to the director for giving me this opportunity."

That's how martial arts movies are; many martial arts actors don't speak in a refined, literary way like other types of actors.

They say what they mean.

The main idea is to be happy.

So at this wrap party, they drank with Director Song until they were completely drunk.

the next morning.

The official accounts of "Ip Man" and Guoteng Media have updated the latest news.

They posted a photo.

Everyone in the photo is blushing and giving a peace sign to the camera.

Song Hao was surrounded by many martial arts actors, looking as if he was respected and loved.

[Filming for "Ip Man" has officially wrapped after a month-long production run!]

Just when everyone thought Song Hao might not be able to control so many well-known martial arts actors, these martial arts stars all posted messages of gratitude and support.

Hazelnut Dan: [I really didn't expect that our martial arts choreographer would be Director Song. He's truly outstanding. If you don't believe me, go see the movie for yourself when it's released; he designed all the fight scenes.]

Shao Huang: [Director Song, among all the directors, the only martial arts choreographer I truly respect.]

Master Liao: [It's an honor to work with a director of Director Song's caliber.]

These Weibo posts surprised many netizens.

They never imagined that all the fight scenes in the film were actually designed by Song Hao!

Suddenly, they were even more eager for the movie's release!
