Known as the "bullet inch fist", a huge force can hit the foreigner, the front flip is up to seven meters to set a new Guinness World Record, and the power of one finger can support the whole body handstand...
He is the action actor "Martial Fool" Yue Song, who quickly became popular at home and abroad fourteen years ago with his own documentary short film. Yue Song's film action performances have a Bruce Lee style, and people call him "the successor of Chinese action movies".
But such a hard-core martial artist who can rival Bruce Lee has not improved in his favorite film and television industry, what is the matter behind this?
In this issue, the childlike character Ji will lead everyone to understand the story of Yue Song, a powerful action actor who has been practicing hard for many years and challenging the limits.
The "practical faction" entered the film industry
Weighing seventy kilograms and less than one meter seventy-five in height, it sounds like the data is not too prominent, but Yue Song is a standard Shandong fierce man.
His body combines tearing explosiveness and rich practical combat experience, and his flexible displacement makes his punches and side kicks give the audience a more shocking sensory effect.
Born on February 6, 1985, Yue Song never practiced martial arts in his childhood, but he is a model of "God appreciates rice and eats".
As a teenager, Yue Song fell in love with Bruce Lee and was pleasantly surprised to find that he was quite talented in martial arts, and since then he has decided to embark on this path.
Yue Song said that the popularity in 2008 was his "windfall". At that time, he had just returned from studying overseas and had been practicing martial arts for seven years.
This short film is called "Chinese Boy Kung Fu Shocks Overseas", in which Yue Song single-handedly points to the handstand, flips seven meters, and hits the foreigner, which makes people's blood boil.
It has changed many people's stereotypes of kung fu: not flower fist embroidery legs, not empty appearance, but sharp boxing, real strong muscles and slipped sweat.
This is not Yue Song's first attempt at making short films, he studied abroad to study film in the UK.
During this period, Yue Song directed and participated in three short films, of which "Killing And Dancing" once received good feedback. This further strengthened his conviction that martial arts require actual combat to be more attractive, and only then can the actual combat faction go further.
Some people say that Yue Song is just shouting empty slogans, and he has never seen him actually enter the ring.
But these are all empty, during his study in England, Yue Song once opened a martial arts hall, was troubled by the militants, and had to get involved in the black fist. He said that black fist is "to shoot quickly, to be fierce."
The threshold of black fist is not high, but there is no concept of kilograms, Yue Song often faces opponents who are taller than himself, but his record is very good, once won seventeen consecutive sets.
In the last inning, because of the serious injuries to the opponent, he had to leave in a hurry. Later, the venue of the black fist was quickly banned, and since then, Yue Song has rarely stepped into the ring.
He was bent on entering the film and television industry, and after accidentally becoming popular, he shot two films in succession. In 2009, Yue Song Studio produced the short film "God of War Incident", which is an experimental work based on real events.
Although the plot, character design and post-production of the film are slightly rough, they are flawed, and the unique fighting design has enabled Yue Song to capture some fans, and he has formed his own martial arts style.
He had his own way
Three years later, Yue Song directed and acted in "The King of the Streets", compared with the previous work "God of War Incident", inheriting the previous fighting style, and the factors such as costume and plot setting have made great progress.
In Yue Song's martial arts clips, there is a unique insight of his own. There are four martial arts designs in the film: one-on-one, one-to-many, many-to-many and other close-quarters hand-to-hand combat and the use of equipment to fight.
The action design of each scene is remarkable, which can not only have a sense of hitting that makes people scream and breathe, but also have a tough and refreshing aesthetic effect.
From the feedback of the action of the blow, it can be seen that Yue Song's martial arts shooting clip has no virtual strength, and it is all solidly hit on the meat.
But in comparison, the plot direction of the film is much inferior. Some fans left a message, "Yue Song's martial arts quality is definitely hard enough, but the plot is slightly barren - that is, what he needs now is a script that can highlight the strength and good plot." ”
That being said, to become popular, you must not only have the ability, but also the time and opportunity.
Unfortunately, Liangju was not recognized, and Yue Song was unwilling to be a supporting role, and he had never encountered a brilliant script. He said self-deprecatingly that he had no good skills, but unfortunately did not have a brilliant face. Under the trend of the times, which popular action movie star is not packaged?
Yue Song's fight clips are wonderful, but the plot has always been criticized by the audience: in order to add fight clips, the plot twists abruptly, "fighting for the sake of fighting"; and the protagonist's inner drama is short enough to enrich the character image.
What's more, most film casting values the reputation and appeal of the actors. Today's film market is a bit sad - Xiaosheng Xiaodan you sing me on the stage, is not to give professional actors a chance.
The fight clip is even more hard-hit area, the real fight is replaced by a fifty cent special effect that can be recognized by the naked eye, and the action design is rough and simple like pulling a throat in front of the vegetable market.
The audience also enjoyed watching the actors clumsily flutter like penguins in front of the screen, as for how good they fought? Who cares.
Yue Song didn't understand business, but since no one asked him to be the protagonist, he made his own film. He did not want to be packaged, hoping that the finished product would show the purest martial arts.
In 2013, Yue Song filmed "The Wind and Snow Warrior", a film that epitomizes autobiography.
Drama is like life, life is like drama
The industry's evaluation of this film is surprisingly consistent: different and shocking. Unlike the usual Chinese martial arts films, "The Wind and Snow Warrior" shows blood, primitive and wild.
In the film, Yue Song runs barefoot in the snow at minus tens of degrees, breaks the ice and jumps into the lake to train, and holds the wild boar with his bare hands. The clips were never performed by him.
The audience laughed at Yue Song as "a tendon", but also looked at his work with respect. They said: This is an excellent action film, and Yue Song is also a good warrior.
Snow Warriors shows a most real and surprising world. The jianghu in the play is the same as the current society, there are good and bad, there are right and wrong, there is good and evil.
Now people are wandering in society, and people in the play are churning in the rivers and lakes. The beliefs and ideals in his heart will guide people in the direction of progress, and inside and outside the play, Yue Song takes martial arts as his pursuit and return in this life.
The overlap of reality and plot makes people tear up, Yue Song is filming, but also shooting himself.
The film comes to an abrupt end, immersing the audience in emotions for a long time. But there is no shortage of good people on the Internet to ask, that section of snow training in Xingkai Lake, why can Yue Song do it?
Yue Song had never responded to the question, but his physical training table had already given the answer: every morning he would run a few kilometers to wake up the body that had just woken up from his slumber; then train ten sets of push-ups, supported with one hand and two fingers; press the wrist to do seven sets of push-ups; and hit the sandbag hundreds of times to exercise explosiveness.
There will be neck, abdomen, legs and an hour of combat combat, practicing Muay Thai and wrestling.
Every week, Yue Song also had to carry out an intensive version of training: jogging fast on thirty floors of stairs and repeating ten times; climbing up twenty meters with only a grasping rope, repeating five times; running up and down steep slopes, repeating twenty sets; and jumping frogs for a thousand meters.
He is now thirty-seven years old, but he never falls behind in high-intensity training. As for the snow training of "Wind and Snow Warrior", it is Yue Song's extreme pursuit of himself.
Yue Song has always believed in this sentence: The real hero is to bravely face life after recognizing the truth of life.
When he was twenty-three years old, he was able to flip seven meters and stand upside down with one finger, and people said he was better than Bruce Lee and didn't want to run into walls everywhere. But he never changed his creed, he wanted to tell the world that actual combat is the greatest value of martial arts.
How many people can cultivate deeply in the field they identify, even if no one appreciates it at present, they will not give up? What do you think of Yue Song? Everyone is welcome to leave a message in the comment area to discuss.
