When the martial arts style hits the local flavor
"Dragon Set Brothers and Sisters" self-made short videos: "Guo Jing" and "Huang Rong" are busy with the autumn harvest
Recently, Mr. Jin Yong's classic characters "Guo Jing" and "Huang Rong" have once again caught fire on the short video platform, this time not which film and television company is going to remake "The Legend of the Eagle Shooter", but a short video shot by a pair of cousins in the countryside of Nanning, Guangxi Province, which has aroused the admiration of netizens.
In the fields of the autumn harvest, "Guo Jing" and "Huang Rong" skillfully do farm work. "Huang Rong" naughtily picked up the stick on the side of the road and played a "dog stick" at the camera. The martial arts style collides with the local flavor, which is very interesting. The Yangtze Evening News Purple Cow News reporter contacted the protagonist in the video, the brother is named Wu Di, and the younger sister is named Liang Shaobing, both of whom are post-90s. Liang Shaobing told reporters that she and her cousin were once extras of "horizontal drifting". After the epidemic, the number of crews that started up decreased, coupled with the elderly of their parents, so they thought twice and decided to return to their hometowns. "When we were in Hengdian, we often took small videos." Liang Shaobing said, "After returning home, my cousin and I wanted to use the experience we had saved from running dragons to make some short videos and make some money to improve our living conditions." ”
They took out their savings to buy a camera and began the creative road, "Some of the clothes for shooting videos were purchased online, some were custom-made, and some were sewn by myself. Some netizens questioned that they were posing for a show, doing farm work these things are fake, Liang Shaobing responded, no posing, no scene, "The field in the video is my cousin's family, recently during the autumn harvest, his mother is not in good health, so I and my cousin are helping to harvest rice." ”
She has dreamed of costumes since she was a child, using her experience as a dragon suit to create
In the videos uploaded by Liang Shaobing, mainly martial arts characters, they have filmed Guo Jing and Huang Rong, Yang Guo and Xiaolongnü... She told reporters that the reason why she chose these characters was because she had a "costume dream" from childhood to adulthood.
"When I was a child, I watched TV and loved costume dramas, especially the costumes in Hong Kong dramas, and when I was a child, I would use sheets to play martial arts characters on my head." After graduating from high school, she followed her relatives and friends to Hengdian Film and Television City to run a dragon set and become a "horizontal drift". Liang Shaobing said that at that time, as a group performance of running dragon sets, there was basically no chance to appear on camera, "In Hengdian in 2017, the first role has been forgotten, the large and small dragon sets have played too much, the main actors, sometimes only one back shadow has been edited off." ”
When she was in Hengdian, she rented a small room with her sister from the same village, which had a small kitchen to cook, the room was very small, there was no furniture except for cabinets and beds, "Vacated space, I set up a hanger, hung with all kinds of costumes." "These costumes were all bought by Liang Shaobing at his own expense after the group performance. She said: "The price of costumes varies greatly, one or two hundred pieces, and thousands of them. She once saved money to buy a men's antique costume of more than 1,000 yuan, "I didn't have the opportunity to wear it when I was in a group performance before, and I used it when I shot a small video some time ago." It is very textured to wear, and it looks better when photographed. ”
Talking about their videos gradually being concerned by netizens, Liang Shaobing is very happy, according to her, the highest number of video views has exceeded 90 million, "Yang Guo, why farm here?" The reason is that ..." has also become the award-winning work of the Nanning Municipal Public Security Bureau Anti-Fraud Propaganda Competition, "Now every day before going to bed, I think about what to shoot, how to shoot, I believe that hard work will be rewarded." ”
He was a stuntman and ran one dragon suit after another for 15 years
Guo Jing is played in the video by Liang Shaobing's cousin Wu Di, born in 1990. At the age of 16, he became a "horizontal drifter", "When I took a train for a day and a night, from Nanning, Guangxi to Hengdian, Zhejiang, I was very excited that day, as if I had the opportunity to realize my dream." ”
In 15 years, Wu Di ran one dragon suit after another, dressed up as a dead body and played a passerby. He still remembers the first role he played, "played a rich man, although there were only a few shots, but he was very happy after acting, and got 50 yuan in compensation." ”
Wu Di said that the monthly salary of the group performance is not fixed, and there is no guarantee that there will be dragon sets to pick up every day. After having a certain amount of experience, he began to work as a stuntman, and often received more dangerous scenes such as riding a stuntman, "The requirements for being a stuntman are relatively high, there are height requirements, and there are technical requirements." Especially when I was riding a horse, I fell off my horse several times, and once I fell so badly that I could see the bones exposed by the broken legs. ”
But in Wu Di's view, although the work of the stunt actor is dangerous, the income is much higher than that of the mass actors, which is worth his happiness, "There are also regrets, after filming for so many years, my face and name did not appear in a play, after doing a stand-in, it is impossible to have a name." ”
Dream of being the protagonist in your own video, and becoming a director in the future to make micro-films
This summer, Wu Di and his cousin returned to their hometown in Guangxi after the "horizontal drift" trip, and when they saw that short videos were very popular, they thought of shooting some of them themselves. Liang Shaobing said: "Before, it was difficult to show my face when the group performance, but when shooting short videos, I liked what role I could play, and I was the protagonist. ”
For the popularity on the Internet, Liang Shaobing is very happy, but there is also a headache, she hopes to break the rumors through the news media, "Netizens say that we are husband and wife, in fact, we are not, we are cousins." ”
Nowadays, Liang Shaobing and her cousin will shoot a work every day, from morning to night, self-written and self-directed, plus to take care of farm work, there is little rest time, but she feels that such a life is busy and happy.
"Thank you very much to every netizen who helped us like, my cousin and I will try to make the short video better." Talking about the next plan, Liang Shaobing said that she wants to be a director and shoot her own micro-films, "but this requires a process, and I have to continue to work hard." ”
