Japanese Entertainment: From special effects actor to action superstar

Chapter 354: Seven Sword Techniques, Evil Aura

It has to look good, but not be too difficult; it has to be realistic, but not too simple.

Be casual but not frivolous; show your true abilities but don't try too hard.

Yuan Heping was shocked after hearing this.

What are you asking for? Black and white.

But Gu Ming was already familiar with Yuan Heping, with his arm around his neck, walking and talking with his arm around his shoulder.

"Look, Master Yuan, you know, the Americans are all very malicious people, you know? A bunch of Gunsters. We thought they were looking for us to be martial arts instructors, but in fact, the Americans were planning to secretly learn our techniques and not use us anymore in the future."

Yuen Woo-ping was shocked.

Isn’t this all done by you Japanese!
Gu Ming accepted it calmly: "Yes, generally speaking, it's the Japanese who do it. But Americans do it too! So, although we should show our skills to shock the Americans, we should not show our true skills and let them learn all our good things."

The Yuan family was living a good life in the United States, but suddenly they were kicked out and had to return home.

Why?

Because the Americans have learned how to perform that set of moves by repeatedly analyzing videos on the computer.

The only thing they lack is professional martial arts and the ability to stage scenes. But even so, combined with Hollywood's powerful output, it is enough to knock down a group of people.

Thanks to this, Gu Ming specifically instructed Yuan Heping.

Don’t show everything to Americans!

Although Yuan Heping was a little hesitant, he gritted his teeth and accepted it for the sake of the US dollar.

"Okay, we'll do our best."

He clapped his hands, attracted the Yuan family members over, and began to issue tasks.

The Yuan family troupe has a master teacher. His father, Yuan Xiaotian, is a well-known figure himself and has performed many roles - for example, the old beggar in the movie Snake in the Eagle's Shadow that made Cheng Long famous is Yuan Xiaotian.

Later, Yuan Xiaotian's appearance became Zhen Yuanzhai in The King of Fighters, the drinking old man.

The Yuan family is proficient in all kinds of weapons.

At least, common knives, guns, sticks and clubs are fine.

"Oh, right."

Gu Ming suddenly raised his hand.

Hey! I'll find you a new lightsaber!

He pulled back the tarpaulin, revealing rows and rows of prepared lightsaber props.

There are many types of lightsabers, more than a dozen in total! In addition to the most common lightsabers, there are also double-headed lightsabers, scimitar lightsabers, short lightsabers, and even lightsabers and lightsabers.

——It’s not a spear, it’s a pistol. That lightsaber can really shoot!

Now, Gu Ming took out these prop lightsabers.

It's all light tubes, and they will light up when you press them.

"Master Yuan, that's about it. Feel free to design it! I only have one request. Of these two sword moves, one must demonstrate the user's strong physical fitness and ability, uh, extraordinary internal strength, while the other must be different. This set of sword moves must be designed to have a sinister and awe-inspiring feel."

Yuen Woo-ping: ...?
This Japanese guy has too high demands!

Yuan Heping kept scratching his head, his old face looking half dead.

What do you mean, make the swordsmanship look sinister?

Is there any such design idea?
Yuen Woo-ping thought for a long time.

Yes, brothers, yes, this really exists!
"If you put it that way, I actually have an idea. The first one is easy. Generally, when we perform this kind of move, we want to show that the user has good physical fitness, so we have to swing it up, making the weapon in hand look like a sledgehammer. And then we can coordinate it with the camera..."

"Master Yuan," Gu Ming interrupted, "The Americans can handle the shots themselves. We'll just design the movements."

"Okay, then we'll use a design similar to the Black Iron Heavy Sword for the first option. As for the second option, it's actually very simple. Anything abnormal is evil!"

Gu Ming repeated.

Is something abnormal evil?
Yuan Heping nodded, suddenly raised his hand and called Zhen Zidan over.

"Danny, come here and perform for this uncle."

Yuan Heping wiped the sweat off his forehead silently.

Grandma is a bear.

He's made me become a Northeastern person! He almost blurted out "Ga Zai", but luckily he reacted quickly.

Zhen Zidan stepped forward, still with a fearless expression, but when she saw Gu Ming, she was silent for a moment, staring at Gu Ming's hand without looking up.

Zhen Zidan took a few steps in front of Gu Ming, punching and kicking, looking quite capable.

Suddenly, Zhen Zidan lay down again, his joints flipped, and like the special actor in the Grudge, he was actually the other way around. Seeing Zhen Zidan running towards him in this posture, Gu Ming was shocked.

So evil!
"Don't come over here, you'll scare me!"

After Yuan Heping's demonstration, Gu Ming finally understood.

In the final analysis, it is born out of abnormality, so it appears evil.

It's a classic scene, just like in Raiders of the Lost Ark.

When everyone thought that the two sides were going to fight with knives, Indiana Jones suddenly pulled out a gun and shot the opponent to death.

This scene seems "evil".

Gu Ming bowed deeply.

"Then I'll leave it all to Master Yuan."

……

……

In the blink of an eye, several days have passed.

The complicated movements still need to be refined, but the general framework was actually created by Yuen Woo-ping.

Gu Ming just wanted to applaud.

I can't accept it.

On the contrary, Zhen Zidan has been very annoying these days and always comes to find him, but Gu Ming is too embarrassed to kill Master Ye with one punch.

"If this is about right, we can start collecting. Dennis, come here."

"You should let me do it." Zhen Zidan stood up instantly.

He has been waiting for several days!
"Marcus, go get the American. Dennis, let's talk privately."

While Gu Ming urged Marcus to call for help, he also instructed Zhen Zidan, "When the time comes, during the demonstration, you have to make it look good! Make it as hard as possible, so that the Americans never learn from it!"

Zhen Zidan was shocked: "Then why?"

"Stupid," Gu Ming warned, "If you don't play it brilliantly, how will the Americans know how hard we've worked on it and how skilled we are? Think about it, this is Star Wars, a cultural symbol that will influence generations of Americans! I'm only in my twenties, so I've got to have something like this!"

Zhen Zidan still didn't understand, but she understood one thing.

Great fight!

This one is simple.

Zhen Zidan patted his chest.

The photo was taken by himself.

Don’t worry, leave it to me!

Soon, Marcus invited people from Industrial Light & Magic.

Dennis Muren, John Destra, and several so-called management members of Industrial Light & Magic.

Of course, although they are called management, in fact, in the atmosphere of Industrial Light & Magic, they are just senior programmers with a slightly higher status.

At this moment, several people walked into the motion collection room which was almost closed in the past.

Dennis Mullen took a look and felt his forehead swell up a little.

Holy shit.

Why are there more and more Asians? Are they self-reproducing?
Dennis Mullen became even more annoyed when he saw the venue was full of Asians.

"Are you finally done? I thought you were just eating free meals all this time."

He cleared his throat and stepped forward and said, "Come and show me how it's done."

Gu Ming didn't even raise his head and pointed outside the field.

Dennis Mullen was stunned.

What do you mean?
Gu Ming said, "He's changing clothes, he'll be here soon."

Dennis Mullen is a joy.

Also change clothes.

Do you know how to wear a Jedi suit?
He folded his arms, sat down, and watched the performance in front of him with interest.
