"One Knife, Allure" artistically transforms historical figures, that's for sure.

It is impossible for a movie to be made with complete reference to history. The subject may be similar, but it is more of an artistic process.

For example, were Tan Sitong and Yuan Shikai really martial arts masters in history?

But movies can let them be. In fact, this itself also allows the audience to distinguish history from movies.

Li Yi actually thinks that this method is better than those who mess around blindly under the guise of restoring history.

Just like the Tang Dynasty in Journey to the West, Xuanzang does exist in history, but did he really become a Buddha in the end?

Tan Sitong's character in the movie actually doesn't have many scenes where he shows off his kung fu, but the scene in the palace also highlighted his skills.

Moreover, this role has the most requirements. On the one hand, he is a civil servant, and he needs to have the air of a civil servant. He is gentle and refined, which is the initial impression he gives people.

But at the same time, he is not a simple civil servant who has no power to restrain himself. He is quite capable.

It can be said that he is definitely a character with both civil and military skills in the movie.

If you want an actor to play this kind of role, in fact many old actors can do it, but the problem arises again. Li Yi’s request this time is that he doesn’t want to spend too long, so the actor himself must have the skills

, or at least have the foundation.

In this way, when filming, those fighting scenes can be completed as quickly as possible.

In the end, Zhao Guangming recommended a candidate to Li Yi.

Zhao Qian!

This Li Yi is really unfamiliar because he has never acted in any famous movies or TV series.

But it doesn't mean that his acting skills are not good.

On the contrary, Zhao Qian is from the Military Arts Repertory Troupe. What is interesting is that Zhao Qian has a very rich resume.

He comes from a scholarly family, his father is a university professor and his mother is a well-known doctor.

Zhao Qian grew up in such a family, but he just liked to practice martial arts.

Later, he joined the army and served as a soldier for two years. After that, he studied military arts in college. After graduation, he joined a drama troupe.

It can be said that when Zhao Qian appeared in front of Li Yi, regardless of his acting skills, Li Yi felt that he was really suitable in terms of appearance and temperament.

After the audition, what surprised Li Yi even more was that Zhao Qian's acting skills were really good.

So Li Yi immediately decided on Zhao Qian to play the role of Tan Sitong.

The actor has been cast, and it can be said that everything is ready, all that is left is the east wind.

Soon, the preliminary preparations for "One Sword Allure" were completed.

Although the scenes required to be shot in "One Knife" are not particularly many, they are actually not few. Some scenes in the original version are indeed not ideal, and they have a lot to do with the filming habits of Hong Kong Island movies at that time.

But here in Li Yi, naturally he hopes to achieve perfection.

For example, the first scene of "One Knife", to be honest, the filming in the original version was still a little rough.

It may also have a lot to do with cost control, because the first scene is the mobilization before the assassination. Under the sunset, the big sword king Wu first performed a set of sword skills, and then his brothers also practiced a set of sword skills.

, followed by the swearing-in meeting.

But this scene, in Li Yi's opinion, was still a bit off.

Why do you say that?

First of all, the scene where Big Sword King Wu performs a set of sword skills at the beginning is a bit strange to be honest as an opening scene.

But, if you look carefully at those movies on Old Hong Kong Island, don't tell me, this kind of opening is really a convention.

If Li Yi came to shoot, he would definitely not shoot like this.

Li Yi attached great importance to this scene. Although it was only the opening scene, it was even more important because it was the opening scene.

Before the swearing-in ceremony, you need to practice a set of sword skills, which is a bit strange.

But this is not the point. The point is connection and editing.

The reason why the original movie feels a bit rough is that after practicing sword practice, it goes directly to the swearing-in ceremony without changing the scene.

Hengcheng, Ducun.

The first scene of the "One Knife" crew will be filmed here.

In the first scene, Li Yi made some changes.

This scene also had high requirements for extra actors. For this reason, Zhao Guangming was specifically asked to help, and soldiers from the army were recruited to cooperate in filming this scene.

In order to ensure the best effect of this scene, Li Yi and the others stayed here in Ducun for several days.

Because we have to choose the best time, the most suitable sunset time to shoot this scene.

"It's almost time, let's start!" Li Yi stretched out his hand to block the sunlight, and then looked at the monitor.

He nodded and said.

Soon the assistant director shouted loudly.

"The filming of "One Knife, Allure" has officially started, and all departments are in place!"

The first scene is the scene where the swordsman team practices swordsmanship. Master Yuanba and Mr. Yu spent a long time studying this set of swordsmanship before designing it.

Then teach it to your fellow soldiers to practice.

"The first scene, the first shot, the first time, ACTION!" followed by the sound of the slapping sound.

One hundred soldiers, naked from the waist up, began to practice swordsmanship under the setting sun.

Since it is a movie, "One Knife to Fall" is also a real men's drama, and this first scene, in the original version, only showed Wang Wu the masculine side of a man, but for some reason, he forgot about it.

, a member of the Broadsword Team.

In Li Yi's opinion, when the members of the Broadsword Team take off their shirts and sweat in the sun, their masculine aura can definitely break through the screen.

So in this scene, Li Yi simply asked everyone to take off their shirts, bare their upper bodies, and practice swordplay in the sun!

Wu Jun, who plays Wang Wu, also wore his upper body naked and led the team from the front!

Li Yi looked at the picture on the monitor and couldn't help but nodded.

As expected of the disciple soldiers, in fact, if you want to let other people, such as the martial arts performance team, perform this scene, it seems that it can be done.

But Li Yi prefers his disciples. Why?

Because of murderous intent!

Big Sword King Wu and his Black Flag Army brothers, who are they?

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! First of all, the soldiers!

What are they going to do?

Go kill someone!

Then it is natural to have murderous intent, but in this regard, apart from the disciple soldiers, Li Yi can't think of any other group performance that can do it.

And the effect was indeed very satisfactory to Li Yi. On the one hand, they were uniform, but the key was that the sunlight refracted by sweat made them look like they were covered with a layer of golden light, and the loud shouts and masculine and powerful movements

The knife gives this picture an indescribable flavor and a uniquely masculine magnificence!

"The Black Flag Army is extremely powerful, kill foreign enemies and protect our country!"

The neat but powerful voices shouted from the throats of these one hundred and one men, looking so powerful and heroic.

"CUT! Good! Very good! Beautiful! This one is passable!" Li Yi praised repeatedly.

"Prepare for the second shot!" Taking this opportunity, Li Yi immediately started preparing for the second shot.

The soldiers have already put on their shirts, and so has Wang Wu!

"Brothers! You know what we are going to do, and you also know that we may never come back! It's still too late for you to regret it!" Wang Wu looked at the people in the swordsman team and said.

"Kill, kill, kill!"

For a moment, murderous intent boiled over.

"The heroic tears that cannot be shed,

The unforgettable hatred of home and country

I can't finish the glass of wine,

I can’t finish singing the farewell song,

Can't let go of the knife in my hand,

I can’t kill all my enemies…”

The filming of the movie did not go smoothly.

Because this drama has a lot of fighting scenes and a lot of action scenes.

Not only does it have to look good, but it also has to be bold and sharp.

This is a great test of the actor's skills.
