There is such a group of people in the film and television industry, and we may rarely know about their existence, but they are indispensable roles in movies. Often replace the protagonist to complete actions that seem impossible.
Whether it is the flesh and blood flying in the sea of explosions and fires, or the leap of a cliff of a high-rise building, all the high-risk actions that make ordinary people tremble in their hearts are difficult to fight with their lives.
But with the same effort, they have different fates, some have become kung fu superstars, and some have died unexpectedly. Today we will talk about those stuntmen who pay silently behind their backs.
The first Yuanhua
Probably most people's impression of Yuanhua is "chartered public", but behind the success is years of bitterness, before which he did many years of stand-ins, endangering his life safety twice.
In 1982, Yuan Hua starred in "Human Skin Lantern" to Liu Yong as a stand-in, and when filming a fight scene with Luo Lie, an accident occurred. The bamboo stick that shot at him deviated from the original route and shot straight into his face, and he realized that the situation was not right, and quickly turned around and grabbed the bamboo stick with his hand.
However, it was too late, the bamboo stick directly hit Yuanhua's back, the scene was bloodied, and he went to the hospital for several stitches. Injured, he did not stay in the hospital to rest, but immediately returned to the set after cleaning up the wounds to continue work.
The other time was in 1974, when filming shaw's film "To Catch a Mouse", the plot required Yuanhua to jump from a helicopter into the sea. The height of one hundred feet made Yuanhua hesitate for a moment, and finally compromised with reality.
Who cheng thought that the water pressure was too large, he held an empty box, he sank into the sea, but the box floated up like a lifebuoy, and finally because the pull was too large, Yuanhua's shoulder joint was seriously strained, leaving serious sequelae.
Second place Du Yiheng
Du Yiheng is extremely similar to Andy Lau in terms of appearance and form. In 2000, he participated in a variety show "Super Imitation Show", and he won the championship by imitating Andy Lau, which unexpectedly became popular. After that, he returned to the old business of singers and released his first solo album.
But not only did it not make money but it also owed foreign debt, but fortunately there is no way out. When he was most embarrassed, he received an audition call, that is, to use Andy Lau as a stand-in, but he did not expect that this time would be ten years. During the period, Du Yiheng appeared on camera many times, and his acting skills have been greatly improved.
As a stand-in, he needs to complete some difficult moves, which also makes him often put himself in danger, once Du Yiheng was closed at the ghost gate. At that time, when he was filming "Di Renjie's Heavenly Empire", he needed to shoot a scene on horseback, which resulted in a traumatized sternum and a blank in front of his eyes.
After being seriously injured many times, he began to think about his future way out. Fortunately, in time for Jiang Wen to shoot the movie "Let the Bullets Fly", he played the role of Four Cakes in it, which was a great success after the release of the film, and Du Yiheng also took this opportunity to transform into the front of the screen.
Third place Zhang Jin
Zhang Jingang's first play was "New Shaolin Temple" starring Wu Jing. Both are martial arts champions, but one is the male protagonist, and the other is wearing a skirt as a stand-in for the female protagonist, which makes Zhang Jin's heart have a big gap. But he knew very well that his dream was to become an actor.
So in less than a week, he adjusted his mindset. There are only 0 times and countless times that can be dressed as a woman, and then Zhang Jin has patted the scene for the actress many times. In "Little Li Flying Knife", Jia Jingwen was given as a martial substitute, and in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", Zhang Ziyi was given as a wuti. For his own dream of being an actor, even the day before his marriage, Zhang Jin was still filming in the crew.
And because of the mistake in that scene, he fell from the high platform with a straight hook, and the cement floor below was the hard state. He was also accidentally poked in the eye by the same actor with a knife, and the eyelids were bleeding continuously. Fortunately, Zhang Jin has now made a head, from a nameless stand-in gorgeous counterattack to a kung fu superstar.
The fourth Qian Jiale
As the youngest martial artist in the Hongjia class, he gained many good opportunities in his early years because he was not afraid of death. When filming "The Condor of the East" in the Philippines that year, there was a scene of a ship explosion. Due to the mistake of the demolition division, he was blown into the water by six petrol bombs on the spot, and his arm was severely burned and peeled.
After this accident, everyone thought that he was bound to rest for a while. But Qian Jiale returned to the set when the burns were not completely healed. He also had to double Hong Jinbao, jumping off a cliff and landing on a moving military vehicle, and later this clip became a classic in the action movie industry, and Qian Jiale became famous in the war.
When Yuan Heping designs the action for the cast, he will first find Qian Jiale to try it, and if he can't do this difficult action, Yuan Heping will abandon this design.
Therefore, there is also a sentence in the circle that the actions that Qian Jiale can do are not necessarily done by others, and the actions that Qian Jiale cannot do must not be done by others. It can be seen that the difficulty index of the actions that Qian Jiale can complete is very high.
The fifth Liu Kun
He is a stand-in for Jet Li, the Emperor of Kung Fu, and there was a scene of an explosion in the water when Jet Li was filming "Daredevil 2", which required him to play for Jet Li. However, when the shooting began, the blasting team lit the explosives in advance, and Liu Kun in the water did not have time to dodge, and was directly blown up eight meters high.
The crew found that it was not right and rushed him to the hospital for treatment, but died at the age of 26 due to his injuries. Liu Kun's family could not accept this fact, they believed that the crew did not take safety measures, and in a fit of rage, they took him to court.
In the end, the court sentenced the film company to 166,000 yuan in compensation to Liu Kun's family in accordance with the law. Jet Li deeply blamed himself for Liu Kun's death, so he paid for an additional 5 million yuan pension. But no amount of money can alleviate it, and the pain and helplessness of the white-haired people sending the black-haired people.
In the huge industry of stand-ins, more people have ended their careers in obscurity. Few people have ever seen their faces, and no one has ever remembered their names, but they are using their lives to make classics, even for a few seconds that flash on the screen. Those thrilling scenes in the movie are the meaning of their existence, thanks to their silent efforts behind their backs.
