The king of ghost horse comedy

Chapter 492 The Oprah Show

"Actually, I also appeared in "Enter the Dragon." Hong Jingbao couldn't help laughing when he heard Oprah's question.

"Oh?! Really, which actor is you?" Oprah asked in surprise.

"It's the one at the beginning of the movie, in the Shaolin Temple martial arts competition, the one who was fighting against Bruce Lee." Hong Jingbao said with a smile, "That fat man is actually me."

"Really, alright. Seeing is believing, let's see if it's him." Oprah laughed, and then on the TV wall behind her, there was the fight at the beginning of "Enter the Dragon".

I saw Bruce Lee competing with a white and fat opponent. The movements of both of them were very concise, and the winner was basically determined by several moves.This is actually the style of Bruce Lee's Jeet Kune Do. He founded a boxing gym in the United States. Given the chaotic security situation in the United States, if he opens a boxing gym, people will come to challenge him, so Kung Fu must be practical.Be concise, fast, and convenient, and strive to kill with one move, so as not to let the enemy have an opportunity to take advantage of it.

In the process of filming movies in the future, Bruce Lee also integrated this kind of actual combat skills into his own action scenes.So his kung fu movies are all won with fierce and quick skills, unlike Hong Jingbao and Cheng Long's stalking, often a fight lasts for more than ten minutes.

Because Hong Jingbao and others are from theatrical troupes, when performing martial arts on stage, it is naturally impossible to solve the problem within a few tens of seconds with three punches and two kicks.Therefore, in the movies they make, the martial arts scenes are extended as much as possible, so that the audience can enjoy watching, so the appreciation is greatly improved, but there are indeed some shortcomings in the actual combat.

The two people dueling in the circle on the TV can really be called a rabbit ups and downs, their movements change very quickly, so it is very difficult to take a frontal screenshot, but fortunately, I took one in the end.

"Does it look like it?!" Oprah couldn't help but look at the TV, then at Sanmao in front of her, "It really looks a bit like it."

"Well, I made that movie several years ago, so now it seems that the person is a bit out of shape." Hong Jingbao said with a smile.

"It doesn't matter, it's getting more and more handsome." Oprah said with a smile, "In this "Enter the Dragon", you lost to Bruce Lee in a martial arts contest. But if you really fight in the real world, you should Who will win?"

Hearing her question, Hong Jingbao couldn't help scratching his head in embarrassment, "Mr. Bruce Lee should be a little stronger."

"Oh?! So you have competed with him before?" Oprah asked enthusiastically.

Hong Jingbao nodded, "I remember when Mr. Bruce Lee first returned to Hong Kong for filming. At that time, I was already a well-known martial arts instructor in Hong Kong. I heard that there was a foreigner who could fight Wing Chun, so I brought a A few people went to see him together, in fact, they also meant to give him a blow."

"Get off your horse?!" Oprah looked at Hong Jingbao suspiciously.

"Just to scare him and let him know that we also have masters here." Cheng Long added with a smile, "Actually, it's just our rules."

"Oh, I understand. In fact, we also have such a rule here. Newcomers will also be made things difficult by their seniors when they enter the company. That's what you said, right?" Oprah said with a smile.

"That's what it means." Hong Jingbao nodded. "At that time, I brought someone to him, and I asked, 'Are you Bruce Lee? I heard you have great fists and feet?' He nodded and looked at me. "Why, do you want to have a competition?" Hearing what he said, I naturally couldn't say no."

"Brother Sanmao was already very famous at the time, and there were so many brothers watching him, so he couldn't shrink back in the face of challenges." Cheng Long added to help.

"It's like a duel between knights in the Middle Ages. Wow! It sounds really interesting. How about the result of the competition?" Oprah asked curiously.

Hong Jingbao smiled wryly, "He said he wanted to have a competition, so I naturally agreed. As a result, before I punched out my fist, his foot was already in front of my face, and he almost kicked me. And It’s not that he couldn’t kick it, but that he didn’t want to kick me, he is a person with great martial arts virtues. So we became good friends later, and I made a cameo appearance in "Enter the Dragon".

"I see, it's really wonderful, wonderful." Oprah couldn't help clapping her hands and said, "It really sounds like those brave and fearless knights in the Middle Ages dueling duels, but the difference is that no one died because of it. It makes the world more good friends."

"Did you learn Kung Fu from martial arts like Bruce Lee did?" Oprah asked with a smile.

Hong Jingbao waved his hand, "No, we actually studied Peking Opera in the early days."

"Peking opera?! Oh, I understand Chinese opera." Oprah smiled and said, "What was it like when you were studying opera?"

"Well, because I was too naughty at the time, my family sent me to study in an opera school, where I learned Peking Opera from my master, singing, reciting, fighting, and rehearsing operas, etc." Hong Jingbao said with a smile, "I have been in the opera school for ten years. Years, every day is busy practicing, going on stage, performing..."

"At what age did you start doing these things?" Oprah asked suspiciously after hearing what he said.

"It has already started since I was seven or eight years old." Hong Jingbao said with a smile.

"Wow! Is this how you spent your childhood? Isn't that too difficult?" Oprah said in surprise.

"There is no way. When I was a child, my family was busy with work. The remaining children were afraid of accidents at home, and they would not study hard when they were sent to school. At that time, I could earn a living by studying opera, so I was sent to the theater. school play." Hong Jingbao said with a smile.

Oprah's eyes were already flushed, "It's so shocking to have worked so hard at such a young age. Are you the same as Sanmao, Jieji?"

"Well, my father was working as a cook at the Australian Consulate, and my mother was also busy working in a factory, so she sent me to an opera school. I remember signing a life and death certificate at the time, stating that if something happened to the child, he could not Pursue responsibility, life and death will be in peace." Cheng Long nodded and said with the same expression of emotion.

"Wow, why is there such an agreement? It's simply too devoid of human rights." Oprah couldn't help but angrily said.

"Actually, master has treated us very well. I am very grateful for his training. Without his words and deeds, we would not be where we are today." Cheng Long waved his hand and argued for the master.

"You really have a grateful heart." Oprah couldn't help sighing when she heard Cheng Long defending his master.

"Did Yuan Biao and David also come from drama school?" Oprah then asked Yuan Biao and David.

"Brother Sanmao and Jie Ji, I and I both came out of the same school." Yuan Biao said with a smile, "But I went because I like acting, which is different from them."

"Well, Yuan Biao's family background is good, he is a rich man among our group of brothers and sisters." Hong Jingbao laughed.

"So that's the case, what about David?" Oprah nodded, and then asked Di Wei who was at the back.

"I didn't come from an opera school. I studied karate and judo, and I also served as an instructor in the Wanwan Army." Di Wei waved his hands and said quite confidently.

"Wow, that's amazing!" Oprah couldn't help opening her mouth after hearing his introduction, "A military instructor, then your kung fu must be very good? No wonder it's really amazing to be able to play such a powerful character." thing."

"So, did you suffer a lot when you were studying in an opera school?" Oprah waited for them to finish their introduction, and then gradually entered into a deeper interview.

"Well, there were a dozen or so brothers in our group at that time, and we lived in a big house and slept on hard wooden beds." Hong Jingbao said while gesticulating.

"At that time, the theater school's environment was relatively harsh, and the master was slightly better than us, and he ate and lived with us." Cheng Long added with a smile.

"At that time we lived together in a big house, boys lived on one side, girls lived on the other side, and the master's bed was placed in the middle." Yuan Biao also gestured at the side, "Because houses in Hong Kong are too expensive , this is also impossible.”

"It turned out to be so difficult to live in. I remember living in a miserable life when I was a child. I also slept on a very small bed. Cockroaches and mice were often found under the bed." Oprah also said with lingering fear.

"What about the food? You guys were all growing up at that time, and learning to play must be very exhausting. Does that mean that every meal should include fish and meat?" Oprah smiled. asked.

Hong Jingbao couldn't help laughing wryly when he heard it, "It's not often that we have fish. Occasionally our performances are relatively successful, and the master will buy fish to reward us. However, with the gradual decline of Peking Opera in Hong Kong, the days of eating fish are not common. .”

"Well, because there are a lot of brothers and sisters in the group, and they are all young people in their [-]th or [-]th year, and they are all developing and growing their bodies, and they are also high-intensity exercises, so they often feel hungry. Once they eat You have to grab it all the time, and those who grab it quickly can eat more, and those who grab it slowly can only starve." Cheng Long said with a smile.

"One time we were so hungry in the middle of the night that we couldn't take it anymore, so we went to steal dried squid from the neighbors to eat, but they found out later, and we were scolded after we told the master." Yuan Biao said with a red face and embarrassed smile .

"It sounds miserable." Oprah couldn't help but shed tears of sympathy, "Then did you spend your childhood without enough food and sleep?"

"Well, actually now that I think about it, I still miss that time very much." Hong Jingbao smiled and said, "Because at that time, there was a master who disciplined him, and he knew what things could be done and what things couldn't be done. But now when I enter In society, you have to make up your own mind about everything, so I am often confused."

"Actually, I am also like this. When I enter the society, I have to be responsible for myself." Oprah nodded. "Actually, this is also a sign of human growth."

"I also miss the time in school, when everyone was relatively innocent and there was no intrigue. Although life was a little bit hard every day, I was very happy in my heart." Cheng Long also said with a smile.

"En." Oprah nodded, "Then Yuan Biao, do you like that time or this time?"

"Actually, I am a very simple person. I think both kinds of life are very good." Yuan Biao said with a smile.

"You still live a more carefree life." Oprah couldn't help smiling, "What about you, David?"

"In fact, I also feel happier when I was in the army, because the work there is very simple, unlike now when I enter the entertainment industry, I have to face many problems." Di Wei also said with a smile.

"When people grow up, they will always encounter all kinds of problems when they enter the society. It seems that even us heroes who are all-powerful on the screen are the same." Oprah said with a smile, "But the world is difficult. Unexpectedly, these students who did not have enough food and clothing in the theater school have now become big stars in Hong Kong movies, and their fate has surprised us."
