彭于晏教你做打星 !

大家都知道拍攝動作片時, 高難度動作都會交給替身代勞。但台灣型男演員彭于晏 (Eddie), 在新戲《危城》中就決定親身上陣。 Eddie近日在巡迴宣傳中接受訪問, 分享他的想法。「只有這樣才能讓角色更有說服力。如果大部分動作拍攝都依賴替身, 演這個角色不就失去意義了嗎?」 被譽為「下一個李小龍」的Eddie, 在2014年電影《黃飛鴻之英雄有夢》中飾演黃飛鴻後, 再次拍攝武打片, 大展身手。在電影《危城》中, 他飾演一名豪放不羈但憑良心行事的浪人。故事講述1914年時值國家內戰、軍閥割據亂世時代, 馬鋒 (彭于晏飾) 來到了普城與保衛團團長 (劉青雲 飾) 一同對抗軍閥少帥曹少璘 (古天樂飾), 誓要保衛普城。 雖然不是武打出身, Eddie出道早期多數演出愛情片和偶像劇, 現在已成為亞洲人氣武打影星, 與洪金寶、李連杰、甄子丹和成龍不遑多讓。不過他認為是因為他的意志與堅持而不是武打技術。 Eddie對角色的認真與執著, 正是他大受讚揚的原因。今次他與大家分享了成為武打影星的六大秘訣: 1. 每日鍛鍊最多12小時 Eddie一向為每一部電影戲瞓身搏到盡, 甚至突破體能極限。他亦堅持根據角色需要學習不同技能, 令演出更有說服力。例如他為《黃飛鴻》學習功夫, 為《破風》(2015) 鍛鍊單車, 為《激戰》(2013) 學習格鬥技, 甚至為《聽說》(2009) 學習手語。 為演活《危城》馬鋒這個角色, Eddie認真學習雙刀, 就像拍攝《激戰》和《黃飛鴻》時一樣, 即使拍攝期間都日夜練習, 務求呈現出最棒的招式, 令同場演員都大感佩服。 2. 健康飲食, 刻苦鍛鍊 除了到健身房鍛鍊、為角色練習和每日慢跑 (每朝早一小時起床, 爭取時間在開鏡前跑步) 外, Eddie會跟足營養餐單, 吸收大量蛋白質, 低脂低糖。他保持身型的動力部分是源自角色需要, 亦因為他非常熱愛健身。 問到他的唯一弱點, 「我很愛吃朱古力和雪糕, 不過拍戲期間我都會戒掉。」 3. 不斷嘗試 《危城》中一個只有兩秒的墮馬鏡頭, Eddie拍了超過20次, 因為他想動作看起來更搞笑和自然。袁泉在中國首映宣傳中就表示十分欣賞他, 覺得他超敬業。 開場那段撃退暴徒的鏡頭, 因為武術指導洪金寶覺得可以做得更好, … Continue reading 彭于晏教你做打星 !

Lucky Chouette 韓國Jardin de Chouette的副品牌, 由韓國設計師金在賢 (譯音, Kim Jae-Hyun) 創辦。Chouette在法文裡有「貓頭鷹」之意, 因此也成為了該品牌的代表圖騰。Lucky Chouette主打smart、休閒青春的風格路線, 充滿街頭塗鴉感的個性服飾與配件繽紛好看, 迎合年輕族群的喜好。剪裁大膽而前衛, 如oversized上衣與飄逸短傘裙。除了個性鮮明的印花, 你也能看到貫穿整個系列的可愛貓頭鷹身影。 2. Rocket X Lunch ROCKET X LUNCH 以充滿90年代風輪廓, 略帶boxy剪裁與色調鮮豔的服飾吸引潮人目光, 而不只是依賴logo來打響名號。作為新晉設計師品牌, ROCKET X LUNCH相當多產, 每年推出4個系列, 在韓國與國際舞台上都極為活躍。趣味性設計, 搶眼細節與流行性元素, ROCKET X LUNCH是潮人眼中兼具時尚、質感與平價的品牌。 3.

Recto 由Jung Ji Yeon創立的韓國新晉品牌。RECTO是印刷術語, 在法語裡意指一張紙的正面, 象徵著品牌的開創之旅。Recto同時也傳遞了正式與中性互相融合的抽象意義。對於中性, Recto自有一套見解: 將男裝與女裝的輪廓結合, 柔美卻硬朗。簡約鮮明的剪裁, 大膽的色調讓性別界限變得更模糊。 5.MAG&LOGAN 韓國著名設計師品牌, 經典又極具女人味。夫妻檔合創的Mag and Logan被譽為「紅地氈№1晚禮服」, 深受明星藝人喜愛, 亦是首爾時裝週的常客。 6. … Continue reading ZALORA 獨家! 韓國潮流品牌Pop-Up
