Chapter 23 twenty three.How to stretch a shirt?

Q Xiao quietly asked the martial arts instructor Why do those muscular men in movies who are strong and muscular often choose to stretch their clothes when it comes to the final trick?Every time I use force to stretch the clothes, why are the pants intact?Is this move some kind of qigong, invincible and powerful?Because the breath shoots up from the chest, so it won't stretch the pants? A Martial arts instructor Gao Xiang answered Xiao Quietly Generally, this kind of qigong is hard qigong, and its principle of generating qigong is to transport the qi of the dantian, moving from bottom to top.There are usually special effects in movies, but if you wear tights, you can indeed stretch the clothes apart by using your kung fu alone.Personally, I am good at Filipino martial arts. I play short machetes and small double swords. They have just become popular in the past two years, and they were rarely used in filming before.This is what I learned abroad. Now domestic martial arts are too old-fashioned. Nowadays, martial arts scenes pay attention to actual combat, and they must be fast and accurate.We martial arts instructors have to think of new tricks every day, and we have to have new tricks in every scene.I used to be a martial arts instructor for Donnie Yen and Zhang Yimou's films, and I'm currently shooting them.Look at the clichéd Kung Fu movies in Hong Kong, so they can't fool the audience.Filming must be a hard job. It is exposed to the wind and the sun. The conditions in China are not as good as in the United States. They have a special studio for martial arts guidance and training. We all go to the shooting location in advance to watch and practice.The current actors are also very hardworking. You see Michelle Yeoh, at such an age, she still plays Wia herself.

I graduated from Shanghai Institute of Physical Education, and later a friend introduced me to this industry.When I was young at first, I thought it was fun, and I was on the set all day long, and I could still see celebrities, but after the novelty wore off, I didn’t know what to do.Martial arts directors generally start slowly as stand-ins, then martial arts directors, and then action directors.Ultimately, of course, I wanted to be an action director.Now I have been in the industry for 12 years, and I just got married this year. My wife is also in the industry. She is a stand-in, but I am not doing it now.It's not easy for a martial arts instructor to fall in love. I'm from Shanghai, and I wanted to find a local Shanghai girl, but you're not at home all day, and the Shanghai girl is picky. You go to the set for a few months. Next time you come back to Shanghai, the girl will be early just ran away.So I found a colleague who could understand my work.
