Most of the audiences who have seen "Mission Impossible 6: Total Disintegration" have been deeply impressed by an Asian face in the film. He single-handedly singled out Atango and Henry Cavill, and the movement was so fast and fierce that he beat the two big names to no end. And this tough guy without lines is actually a Chinese-born actor who has played the stand-in of "Red Viper" Pedro Pascal in the American drama "Game of Thrones 4", and has served as an action director in movies such as Wonder Woman 2, Pacific Rim 2, star wars 8 and so on, his name is Yang Liang.
A few days ago, Yang Liang was interviewed by a domestic media for the first time, telling the story behind the scenes of the "toilet war" shooting.
It turned out that before filming "Mission Impossible 6", Yang Liang had been a stand-in for Emily Blunt in "Edge of Tomorrow" and had a lot of fights with Brother Tang, so when filming "Mission Impossible 6", the two were already very familiar.
Yang Liang was originally just the action director of this "toilet war", and the actor had someone else. But then the director decided to use Yang Liang to play himself, "because the action was designed by me, and there was no need to find a stand-in, after all, Tom and Henry did not use a stand-in." ”
In designing this "toilet war", Yang Liang added a little chinese martial arts shadow to it: "For example, the spirit of martial arts, and then add some blocking actions." "But the traces can't be too obvious, after all, they are all fighting in suits, and there will be a sense of violation of martial arts actions, so Yang Liang combined Western and Eastern martial arts, and the director expressed great satisfaction."
Although the scene is less than 3 minutes in the movie, it was filmed for a whole month, and there was a reshoot a few weeks before the film's release. One of the movements is that Yang Liang was thrown from one side of the toilet by Henry, through the broken glass to the other side. At that time, the crew prepared a total of four pieces of glass, but when shooting the first one, due to the distance being too close, Yang Liang's body did not cross over. The second one fell over his head again, and his body did not fall on the washstand. "After shooting the second one, Henry and I were a little nervous, there were only two pieces of glass left, and we had to grab one of the last two, but fortunately we passed the third one."
Because Brother Tang broke his ankle when filming the scene of jumping off the building, so that the crew stopped filming for nearly 10 weeks, this time Brother Tang did not have to stand in person to play in the action scene, so Yang Liang was very cautious and paid attention to their safety, "This kind of thing cannot appear in our fight." ”
Born in Harbin, Yang Liang grew up fascinated by martial arts because he liked to watch Huo Yuanjia. At the age of 8, his mother signed him up for a professional martial arts team. During that time, he went to school during the day, practiced after school, and only had three days off every year during the New Year. At the age of 15, he competed in the National Martial Arts Competition, where he finished second with a double knife. After that, he studied acrobatics in the Heilongjiang Acrobatic Troupe for eight years. In 2003, Yang Liang went to the United Kingdom to perform, and through the introduction of friends, he met a local British who opened a martial arts hall and got a job as a martial arts teacher.
Later, there was an actor in the martial arts of a film at a job fair, and Yang Liang went to audition and was selected, thus entering the film circle. Some time ago, Liu Yifei starred in the Hollywood blockbuster "Mulan", originally wanted to invite him to play the villain, but due to the conflict of schedules, he had to push off this role.
