A couple MMA scene was staged on the streets of Tai Po earlier. "Deadly Cut Feet" and "Invincible Hot Wheels" were like reenactments of classic Hong Kong action films. Later, the truth was revealed. The "man in black" and "woman in white" were The stuntman hired by Tan Tsai's pop-up publicity.
However, the drama is real, the male and female protagonists are indeed a real "stunt couple". They got to know each other through a stage performance and developed a spark of love. Suki, who was a dancer, even entered the business under the guidance of stuntman MJ.
The two revealed the unknown secrets of the stuntman. It turned out that it only took 30 seconds to rehearse an action, and the stuntman had to perform a full set of performances. The hardest thing was not being burned into a man, and they also pointed out that the industry is now facing a dilemma.
MJ and Suki have been in the industry for 15 and 6 years respectively. They have participated in movie series of different sizes, and have also served as stand-ins for many superstars.

Influenced by Hong Kong-made action films in the 1980s, they became stunt couples after a performance
In the 1980s and 1990s, the Hong Kong film industry was at its peak, with an annual production of 300 films in its heyday. Action blockbusters even went out of their way to the world, earning Hong Kong the reputation of "Oriental Hollywood".
When the martial arts superstar made a move, he used his fists and feet to do his best, and the audience was hooked.
Chen Junfeng (MJ) said with a smile: "My old Dou buys all DVDs from Hong Kong-made action movies... Do you want to buy other movies?" As a result, like most Hong Kong people born in the 1980s, he has been influenced by Hong Kong-made action since he was a child. Pian Xun Tao, fond of martial arts and stunts, ran and jumped around the park, practiced somersaults, and turned to Taekwondo and parkour when he grew up, laying a solid foundation for his career as a stuntman in the future. Countless large and small movies, it has been 15 years.
Huang Ruiqi (Suki) has less seniority, only 6 years.
She also watched action movies when she was a child, and the exaggerated stunt action scenes always made her in an uproar. She couldn't help but doubt the authenticity of the fighting scenes, and also aroused her interest. She then became a professional dancer.
Bole, who finally led her into the stuntman industry, is MJ who is now her boyfriend.
Perhaps it was fate. The two met in a fairytale-like performance at a theme park, and then fell in love and became a couple.

Perhaps it was fate. The two met like a fairy tale during a performance in a theme park. They alternated on the projection screen. The boys were in charge of fighting and the girls were in charge of dancing. Watching each other's performances on the stage, they were already in love with each other.
Later, Suki, who was curious about kung fu movements, asked the other party, and MJ did not hesitate to give her advice, and even invited her to learn basic skills at the training school opened by the famous stunt star Yang Panpan. Then enter.
Only after Suki entered the industry did she realize that those stuntmen really fell from a height, and the scene of being hit by a car was like a fake. So famous! The previous (80s, 90s) era was so good!”

The key to preparing for the "deadly hinged scissors" in 30 seconds is psychological pressure
When stunt movements become the common language of a couple, a word, a look, a password, the two will understand each other's thoughts, and practice some movements in front of reporters, such as the routine of jumping, kicking, and punching. It only took ten seconds for the rehearsal.
Therefore, the male and female fit skills displayed in the promotional clips seem complicated, but in fact, the preparation only takes 30 seconds.
The difficulty lies in cooperation, basic skills and physical fitness are also necessary conditions, but the most important thing is to have courage, and mistakes are mostly psychological problems. Suki took "Invincible Hot Wheels" as an example, "The most important thing is that the girl is brave enough to let go, upside down (upside down) Break through the psychological barrier of fear."
Talking about the action design of the day, MJ explained that the action stunts are mostly transformed from extreme sports or wrestling moves, but they are more realistic during the drill, but they will be presented reasonably. , wait for everyone to have a space for discussion.”
They will also find the balance between male and female fitness skills. For example, males are naturally stronger than females, and it is difficult for females to knock down males with punches and kicks. Therefore, they use sacrifice techniques such as "deadly hinged scissors" and use all their strength. more reasonable.

The stunt person also has to play the leading role, and the demeanor has to follow
When the promotional video first went viral on the Internet, most netizens believed it to be true, perhaps it was related to the acting skills of the two.
In the film, Suki slapped MJ on the shoulder with his hand, and then waved the cloth bag in a series.
In fact, the dummy is commonly known as "stunt man", and the full name is action stunt "actor".
For example, in the role of a stand-in, although he will rely on editing to return to the main body, he sometimes strives for completeness and avoids breaking through. Excellent action stunt performers will still imitate the normal body after the action is over, making the picture more natural, "For example, when the actor falls The ground knows how to act, if the character is so dashing, if he wants to get up and turn around after landing, but a substitute is the ground complaining, it may not be reasonable."
Action stunt performers also need to pay attention to various details and small movements. MJ once served as Ekin Cheng's stand-in, and joked that the other party was left-handed. When designing movements such as gun-holding posture, they would make corresponding adjustments, which is very particular.
Action stunt performers are not their first jobs. MJ loved taekwondo and parkour when he was young, and Suki was a professional dancer.

However, the most difficult subject for stuntmen is neither acting nor the exciting scenes such as passing through glass, stairwells, and burning man.
For example, MJ pointed out that coordinating the filming technique is one of the major problems. For example, the director uses the one-shot-to-the-end camera movement technique. When many departments are involved, there will be a lot of pressure. , the adrenaline is so high.” If the movie props are limited by the budget, and there is only one piece of glass, the actors can’t miss it, and they need to “take it all.”
Suki, who is also a stand-in, also complained, laughing that many Hong Kong actresses are very slender, which makes her very "headache", because the stunt person has to put protective gear in the clothes, and the figure will appear larger. People have to manage their body all the time, so she will go to the gym to exercise whenever she has time.
The film industry has turned from prosperity to decline, and industry insiders hope to return to the peak
In the 1980s, martial arts superstars and stuntmen started filming with bare hands, jumping off the building with only cardboard boxes as air cushions, and bruises all over their bodies after a scene.
The film industry has gone through decades. On-set safety, labor benefits, and training channels have kept pace with the times. The two agree that today's stuntmen are much happier. For example, jumping off a building can be used with safety, and if they fail, they have to restart immediately, and then cooperate with the completion degree. High computer-generated images, it is difficult to find clues on the screen.
The Hong Kong Action Stunt Actors Association, which was established in 1993 during the golden age of the film industry, was originally a self-employed stuntman and negotiated labor insurance. MJ suffered a severe fracture in his foot during rehearsal, and was the first to enjoy this benefit. People, rely on insurance to survive difficulties.
As for the training school established by Yang Panpan in 2000, it continues to train newcomers for the industry. At the same time, the Internet of information flow also helps to improve the level of the industry.
MJ refers to the difficult movements in the past. There are already teachings on the Internet. Young people can easily obtain information. They can also watch more action movies from various places to learn different skills, and then use them for their own use. Hey, keep watching, there is no teaching left." Speaking of this moment, MJ pumped his heart and said with a smile: "Yijia felt that it was a wrong way, but we helped him to do it, and the seniors helped me to do it. Every generation so".
However, as one of the eight creative industries in Hong Kong, although the film industry system is gradually improving, the development of the industry has entered a recession period.
As members of the industry, the two hope that one day Hong Kong-made action films will return to their former glory, so the industry needs new blood to enter the industry. ”
