The king of ghost horse comedy

Chapter 11
"Mr. Xu, hello." In front of Xu Guanwen, Hong Jingbao put on a very low posture.

He is just a martial arts instructor now, but Xu Guanwen is a smash hit movie star and the boss of this movie, so his status is higher than that of Hong Jingbao.

"Yuanlong, come! I'm waiting for you." After Xu Guanwen shook hands with Hong Jingbao, the two sat down respectively.

"I asked you to come here today because I want you to design a set of martial arts moves." Xu Guanwen said straight to the point.

"What kind of storyline is it? What style of martial arts action is needed?" Hong Jingbao asked in detail.

As a martial arts instructor, the martial arts moves must meet the requirements of the movie.

"The general plot of the story is like this. The male and female protagonists are walking on the beach, and then meet a hooligan who comes to tease him. The male protagonist fights with the gangster. In the end, the male protagonist naturally ends in a disastrous defeat." Xu Guanwen explained, "The fight lasted about three to two minutes. , I want to be similar to Bruce Lee, but more exaggerated and funny."

"Funny martial arts?! Is this..." Hong Jingbao frowned and thought for a while, but didn't answer right away.

At that time, martial arts guidance styles were generally divided into two categories. One was Zhang Che and Liu Jialiang, who saw moves in a clear and orderly manner, and the movements were more graceful and bloody; A strong sense of power.

However, there is no such precedent in the Hong Kong film industry for the funny style of fighting that Xu Guanwen requested.

In fact, it wasn't until [-] when director Wu Siyuan filmed "The Serpentine Hand" that the prelude to the humorous Kung Fu film was officially unveiled.

"How is it? Is it difficult?" Seeing that Hong Jingbao hadn't answered, Xu Guanwen couldn't help asking.

This fight scene was specially filmed by him to pay tribute to Bruce Lee.If you can't design it, you can only regretfully delete it.

"Mr. Xu, give me three days. I'll go back and think about it." Hong Jingbao said in a deep voice.

"Okay, then I'll wait for your good news." Xu Guanwen nodded and said, "Awu, send Yuanlong to me."

……

"It's a funny fight, how is this designed?" Hong Jingbao fell into thinking, muttering about this from the studio to the entrance of the studio.

"Mr. Hong, I have an idea. Do you think this will work?" Xu Guanwu saw that his brows were tightly furrowed, as if his head was about to explode. He remembered that he had watched many kung fu comedies in his previous life, so he couldn't help reminding him.

"Mr. Xu, tell me." Hong Jingbao asked for advice.

"For example, when you fly over and hit me, when the fist is about to hit me, I suddenly raise my head and yell, when you look up, I will knock you down with one punch." Xu Guanwu said while gesturing The example given is the scene where Zhou Xingchi competes with Brother Guashuiliu in "The King of Destruction".

In this scene, He Jinyin, who knows no martial arts at all, uses all kinds of ghostly tricks to knock down the master Duan Shui Liu, who is known as the murder weapon in the world, which can be described as the best work in funny kung fu.

Of course, Jackie Chan's fighting in "Drunken Master" is even more exciting, but when Xu Guanwu watched this movie, he only remembered that the fighting was very humorous and interesting, and he didn't remember any martial arts tricks, and he was not as agile as Jackie Chan, so Even if I try to use it as an example, I can't come up with it.

However, Hong Jingbao is very talented in kung fu comedy. Previously, it was just because of lack of thinking in this area, but now after Xu Guanwu fiddled with it, his mind immediately turned around.

"It turns out to be like this, not bad, not bad. It does look interesting." Hong Jingbao suddenly realized.

"Mr. Hong, please work hard on humorous kung fu. In my opinion, if you can combine kung fu and comedy into one, then you will definitely become a great master in the film industry." Xu Guanwu said with a smile.

"That's right! Combining comedy and kung fu into one, what a great idea! Why didn't I think about it before?" Hong Jingbao was stunned when he heard Xu Guanwu's words.

In the Hong Kong film industry at that time, director Chang Cheh, who made kung fu movies, paid attention to the promotion of the masculine beauty of men. When filming fight scenes, almost all the male protagonists went into battle shirtless, killing their bodies bloody and splashing tomato juice. Juice Director".And Liu Jialiang is the authentic descendant of Huang Feihong. When making kung fu movies, he pays attention to rigor, word and accent, just like kung fu documentaries.As for the martial arts director Hu Jinquan, he pays attention to the family, the country and the world, and the pictures he shoots are very artistic, and the martial arts moves absorb the martial arts moves in operas.

Other kung fu film directors in Hong Kong followed the example of these three great directors, so the kung fu films produced were basically the same, and the box office was not guaranteed.

"If it's true what Xu Guanwu said, the fusion of kung fu and comedy can really create a new world of kung fu movies." The more Hong Jingbao thinks about it, the more he feels that this idea is very likely to be realized, and he can't help being excited.

"Mr. Xu, thank you for your reminder. I will definitely work hard." Hong Jingbao said emotionally while holding Xu Guanwu's hands tightly.

"Okay, if you need anything, just come to me. The door of our Xu Brothers Film Company is always open for you." Xu Guanwu also frowned and smiled.

After Hong Jingbao excitedly led his men away, he immediately put his hand to his mouth and kept blowing.

The fatty Hong held Xu Guanwu's hands just now, and forgot to pull back because of his agitation, which made Xu Guanwu's hands red and swollen, leaving five clear finger marks.

"This fat man must have done it on purpose." Xu Guanwu thought bitterly.

……

When returning to the studio, Xu Guanwu said to Xu Guanjie: "Ah SAM, the filming is almost halfway done now, I will leave the soundtrack to you, I believe that your ability will definitely do it well."

"Brother, I haven't done such a thing as film soundtrack. I have to find more professional people to do it." Xu Guanjie thought for a while and said awkwardly.

Although he is good at writing lyrics and composing music, this is completely different from film soundtracks. He doesn't want to affect the quality of the film because of his own soundtrack.

"Then who do you think is suitable?" Xu Guanwen couldn't help scratching his head when he saw that his younger brother was unwilling to take the job.

Originally, I wanted to find my younger brother to make the soundtrack and save some money, but now I have to consider other candidates.

"Find Mr. Gu Jiahui." Xu Guanwu suggested from the side.

He had heard of Gu Jiahui's name in his previous life. Together with Huang Zhan, he was called the Second Sage of Hui and Huang, and they were quite awesome figures.There are many works in Hong Kong film and television that are composed by Gu Jiahui and written by Huang Zhan.Such as the theme song of the 83 edition of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", the theme song of "Shanghai Bund" and so on.The works of the two of them have spread almost throughout the Chinese community, and they are veritable double saints in the music world.

"Mr. Gu Jiahui is good. He composed several Bruce Lee movies." Xu Guanying nodded and said, "And his asking price is not expensive, we can definitely afford it."

"In this case, please ask Mr. Gu Jiahui for help." Xu Guanwen nodded and said.

"By the way, brother, I have another idea," Xu Guanwu said again, "There are theme songs before and after every movie, and there are soundtracks added in the middle, etc., about seven or eight songs. If Ah SAM can put them If we gather together and cooperate with our movie promotion, then the sales of the album can stimulate the box office of the movie, and the box office of the movie can also stimulate the sales of the feature film. In this way, we can kill two birds with one stone!"
