We all know that the biggest feature of Hong Kong action movies in the ** era is that they are real. The reason why Hong Kong action movies are killing all over the world, even more popular than Hollywood action movies, is mainly because there is a group of people who don't want to die, who really fight, shoot, and fall. They are called "Dragon and Tiger Warriors", and they have also supported the sky of Hong Kong movies.
Nowadays, although the dragon and tiger warriors are old, the spirit of Hong Kong action movies has been inherited by Hong Kong filmmakers, which is best reflected in "Breaking Point". "Breaking Point" has a large scale, many action scenes, and real shootingIt's refreshing to watch
But many viewers don't know what kind of efforts the actors and directors have put in behind the scenes, whether it is Zhang Jiahui, William Chan or Jiang Haowen, they may work harder and play more hard than the dragon and tiger martial artists at that time. Below, I will take stock of a few real scenes in the film.
, Lin Chaoxian personally breathed fire, and his life was in danger for every second of the scene
Lin Chaoxian's movies pursue reality, and everyone knows that there have been many incidents of blowing up and injuring actors before, but these are all the prices that need to be paid in order to present the truth.
In "Breaking Point", the elements of water and fire are used to the extreme, and the most impressive of them is the two scenes of Zhang Jiahui dodging the fire and hiding **.
There is a scene in the film where Bang Sir needs to hide in a container to avoid the flames. The fire behind is actually real fire, and the person holding the flamethrower is Lin Chaoxian. For the on-site effect, this scene requires Lin Chaoxian to breathe fire for ten minutes before starting to shoot, and the scene is all scorched by flames.
However, Zhang Jiahui also admitted frankly that the flamethrower is in Lin Chaoxian's hands, and he is more at ease, because as a director, Lin Chaoxian knows how to spray, which has a good effect and will not hurt the actors.
In addition, there is a scene in the film where Zhang Jiahui needs to jump into the pool to avoid the ** outside. The explosion points outside here are all real explosions, and this scene needs to be completely jammed, if it is a second late, it is possible to blow people up directly. In the face of fire and danger, Zhang Jiahui constantly challenges the limits of his filming, and constantly pays tribute to the glory of old Hong Kong-style action movies.
, William Chan is a tough Malaysian MMA player
In order to present a sense of realism, "Breaking Point" requires all actors not to set up moves in advance. At the end of the movie, Jiang Ming, played by William Chan, needs to fight a villain in a cave, and the real identity of this villain is a Malaysian MMA mixed martial arts player.
Lin Chaoxian asked him in advance if he had ever filmed, and the strong man said that he had never been. Therefore, he is not very good at looking for shots, and the whole process is real, without misplacement and tricks. After filming this fight scene, William Chan's whole face was swollen because he had been beaten too much. Also, the scene where William Chan and Zhang Jiahui run on the flyover is also a real jump, a few meters high, without any Wia.
For William Chan, these have never been, making a movie, there are people who have been beaten and bruised and swollen. But in order to present the most exciting fight scenes, William Chan can be regarded as keeping the spirit of the Hong Kong film era.
, Liang Luoshi slapped Zhang Jiahui to tinnitus
In the film, the drug maker Yingxiu played by Liang Luoshi has a scene of slapping Zhang Jiahui. Zhang Jiahui admitted frankly in a later interview that he said that he wanted to slap the scene, but he didn't say that he wanted to be misplaced, and then he started the film.
After the start-up, everyone quickly entered the state, Liang Luoshi slapped it, and Zhang Jiahui was forced to come down.
After the fight, Zhang Jiahui quickly had tinnitus and said, "No one pays attention to me, and they are already discussing how to shoot the next shot."
And this scene was filmed three or four times, Zhang Jiahui was slapped four to six times, and bluntly said that he was "paralyzed". The strength of the actresses on the set should not be underestimated, especially when it was really fighting, Zhang Jiahui said at first that it was okay, but he didn't expect to be beaten, it was not like that. But in order to make a good film, he can only take these slaps, which should be regarded as accumulating experience for future slap scenes.
, Zhizai leaned on a safety rope and really fell
There is a scene in the movie where police officer Chi Tsai meets the undercover William Chan when he is being chased. William Chan told him that he could only survive if he was thrown downstairs. So before the drug dealers from behind arrived, he pushed Ji Tsai downstairs.
In this scene, the actor Huang Younan, who plays Zhizai, is a real fall downstairs, and all the safety measures are just a thin safety rope.
We saw that after he fell downstairs, the violent collision with the debris downstairs was actually real, and it was a collision between his own gravity and debris. The action of falling from a tall building is actually very dangerous, with only a safety rope configuration, and now few actors can jump directly.
But in "Breaking Point", such a shooting style can be seen everywhere, which is why everyone thinks "Breaking Point" is real.
In fact, we should also admire Huang Younan's courage, he really risked his injury and even his life, and he brought us the best visual experience in filming this scene.
, mud play
The most suffocating scene in "Breaking Point" is the mud fight between William Chan and Jiang Haowen. This scene was not actually set up before, but the director improvised it according to the scene environment.
The fight between the two is in the mud the whole time, and in the action design, there are many shots of pressing their heads into the mud. The mud is real, and when William Chan's head is pressed, the mud gets into the ears, nostrils, and mouth, blocking the airway, which is actually very uncomfortable.
William Chan bluntly said that if the time is a little longer, I feel that people will not be good. Fortunately, the cooperation with Jiang Haowen was very smooth, and the two completed this mud fight that looked very miserable.
During the shooting, the staff present were a little unbearable, but the two actors still filmed very well in order to show the best effect.
Paying for the play is what an actor should do. But when this kind of effort exceeds the limit of human physiology, it should pay tribute to the actors themselves, the director, the production team, and the audience. After all, at present, there are not many directors and actors who can film so seriously, only for the sake of the movie, and only for the audience's perception.
filmed "Breaking Point", there are many real scenes, I won't explain them all here. However, it is this kind of reality that allows us to immerse ourselves in the atmosphere of the movie, feel the difficulty of the anti-narcotics police, and better understand how difficult it is for a good action movie to appear in theaters and meet us.
"Breaking Point" is still in theaters, if you haven't seen it yet, hurry up and watch it, after all, the style of old-school Hong Kong films is not something that can be seen anywhere!If you still stick to this sincerity in this fast food era, there is hope for Chinese films!
