new kung fu king

Chapter 138 Another Miracle

Watching "Righteous Hero" and discussing "Righteous Hero" became the biggest hobby of Hong Kong citizens for a while. They discussed the social status reflected in "Righteous Hero" at home, in restaurants, and in different places in hotels. Almost everyone who watched Anyone who has ever watched a movie will find their shadow in the movie.

Apart from the more obvious professions such as doctors, nurses, and policemen mentioned in the film, the most puzzling thing for everyone is that those who join the club also like this film very much.

In a small courtyard somewhere in Kowloon, Shen Guohao was standing quietly beside an old man. The old man was wearing a white kung fu practice kung fu, with white hair and white beard, and was meticulously practicing Xingyiquan. After he finished his training, Shen Guohao immediately Pass on a towel. "Dad, wipe off your sweat." The old man took the towel and nodded, walked around the courtyard and sat on the recliner after his breath stabilized, took a sip from his teacup and said, "Guohao, that movie really told you It is the same?"

"Dad, I definitely didn't lie to you. Damn, that guy Wang Xiaohu is so bold this time, he even put the scene of one-on-one against Iron Blood Hall directly in the movie. Don't mention how exciting it is, it's so enjoyable to watch!" Shen Guohao said with joy, the old man narrowed his eyes after listening, and said after a long time: "You said his Wing Chun is very good?"

"Well, he is quite skilled. Wing Chun's airs are quite satisfactory, and this kid has also learned kung fu from Bruce Lee for half a year. I almost fell into his hands last year." Shen Guohao was not at all unhappy when talking about this past event, even I felt that it was an extremely honorable thing to be defeated by Wang Xiaohu, and it was worth promoting it everywhere.

The old man couldn't laugh or cry at his son's answer, "Hey, Ye Wen's disciples are so powerful, it's not easy, I'll go to Ye Laogui to judge, mother, his disciples almost made my son cry , it’s too unreasonable.”

"Dad, I was not beaten and cried by him, if it wasn't for silent words"

"Hehe, don't quibble, can you deal with dozens of members of the Iron Blood Hall by yourself? If you are so fierce, you can still allow that junior Qu Dafu to jump around on your territory?" The old man snorted coldly and disdainfully. Said, then shook his head and walked into the room, muttering in his mouth: "Hey, I'm not reconciled to being compared to Ye Laogui again!"

These days Yuen Biao has been happily unable to find Bei. Since he played the role of Abang, he will be recognized by the citizens wherever he goes, and then everyone swarms around Yuen Biao. Those who want to sign or take a group photo Someone is there, Yuen Biao, that nourishment, don't mention it, now he often returns to his mansion at No. 42 Cumberland Road very late, and every time he comes back, he is drunk. "Ah Hu, I really, really thank you. If you hadn't given me this, this opportunity, I, I'm afraid I'd still be playing tricks!" Yuan Biao broke into Wang Xiaohu's study, and almost lay on his shoulders as soon as he came in. happy to say.

Wang Xiaohu smiled and helped Yuen Biao up, let him sit on the sofa and poured a glass of water, and said to him, "A Biao, I actually did very little. The main thing is that you are working hard on your own. Today's achievements are all due to you." It's two-handed, isn't it?"

Yuen Biao waved his hand vigorously, probably because he had drunk too much, and his body also leaned on the sofa: "No! Definitely not! I know that you want me to be the male number two this time to make me popular. Now you I really did it. Today Aaron and his boss asked me to drink, wanted me to make a movie for them, and promised me to be the leading actor. I pooh-poohed them. I said it right there. Don't leave Ah Hu's side"

"Aaron's boss? That Zhu Mu from Dadi Company?" Wang Xiaohu asked curiously with his eyebrows raised.

"Well, it's him!" Yuen Biao said vaguely, "Zhu Mu said that they will make five major productions this year, and Aaron's "Indomitable Heaven" will also be released in the middle of this month, haha, Ah! That idiot Long actually showed me that he was the leading actor, I laughed so hard."

Yuen Biao burst out laughing, and Wang Xiaohu laughed too. Unlike Yuen Biao's kind of laughter, Wang Xiaohu knew that Dadi Company would soon be over.The box office of "Indomitable Heaven" in my memory was dismal, and even the cost was not recovered. Although Jackie Chan worked very hard in the film, it was a small cost, and the script was also very bad. It was forcibly removed by theaters within two weeks of its release. As for the five major productions they mentioned, it seems that there is "Policewoman" starring Jackie Chan. "Policewoman" has learned as much as possible from the previous experience and lessons. Make a comeback.This film lived up to expectations, and the attendance rate was several percent higher than "Indomitable Heaven", but in the end it did not save Dadi Company from going bankrupt.

On the contrary, Jackie Chan, who became a free man, then went to Shaw Brothers, and there appeared a voluptuous film "Golden Bottle Double Beauty" by ace director Li Hanxiang, in which he played the supporting role of brother Yun. It is very eye-catching, and this is also the only "tertiary film" that Jackie Chan has starred in since his debut. Of course, he is only a supporting role, leaving no unsightly scenes.

Speaking of Li Hanxiang, I have to mention "The Great Warlord" produced by Uncle Li last year. This is a work that Shaw Brothers can barely produce after "Fist of Fury" won an amazing box office record of 600 million. At that time, the box office of 300 million was already commendable, but if you look at this film from the current viewing point of view, it can only be defined as a bad taste, because the film is always full of cheating plots, and this is also Li Hanxiang's specialty, and will This kind of pornographic film with a bad taste style continued until the end of the 70s, and it can be regarded as the leader of the fragrant film in the history of Hong Kong film.

"Hey, Jackie Chan is almost crazy outside, he should have been tempered a lot, take the time to recruit him for training, can't just watch his brother wandering outside?" Wang Xiaohu thought like this, In fact, he is planning a new film, and he needs Jackie Chan to come back and act as a supporting role or something, so as to tap his potential in advance. After all, no one in this world knows better than Wang Xiaohu what kind of route Jackie Chan will take in the future.

Now Bruce Lee attaches great importance to Wang Xiaohu. Since he discovered the magical effect of the trailer, he has also made a plan according to the gourd, but he always feels that the plan he designed is missing the point and does not present the exciting part of the film. come out.

After Wang Xiaohu saw his plan, he pondered for a long time before he said: "Brother Xiaolong, because of the tight schedule, my preparations for the trailer were very comprehensive. There is still a long time before "Way of the Dragon", you It’s better to make a pre-release trailer.” After speaking, he saw Bruce Lee’s frowning look, knowing that he didn’t understand what he meant, and explained with a smile: “A pre-release trailer is usually a kind of unofficial release of a movie with a large investment. "Trailer trailers, usually released a few months before the film's release, are short and only inform actors, directors, adaptations or sequels, and rarely feature extensive film footage."

"Oh, let's make a teaser first." Bruce Lee said, nodding his head.

"Well, first of all, you have considerable box office appeal. You can attract a lot of audience just by using your self-written, directed and self-acted name. However, in order to improve the publicity effect, it is best to add a few wonderful stills and release them at equal distances. In half a month, I will add a little teaser, and a week before the release, I will add a complete highlight.”

"Xiaohu, you are so insidious, you have completely adjusted the tastes of the audience, haha, but I like this method!" Bruce Lee laughed loudly after listening.

"Righteous Hero" continued to lead the box office records throughout April. As of April 4, the box office revenue has reached more than 20 million. Now the bosses of those "mini" theaters are making a lot of money. They He also kept his promise and sent the box office profits of the first three weeks to Wang Xiaohu's hands. Seeing that there was another 500 checks in his hands out of thin air, Wang Xiaohu was very happy, thinking that if these theaters were all in his hands, then this data would still be worth it. Will it be doubling?

The reputation of "screenwriter with a box office of 500 million" once again appeared on the headlines of the news media, which made many colleagues in the screenwriting industry feel like they were beaten again, but it is not easy to write a script as wonderful as Wang Xiaohu!So many small screenwriters began to haunt Wang Xiaohu's house, Golden Harvest Studios, Bruce Lee's restaurant and other places, hoping to get in touch with their idols and get their personal advice.

At the earliest time, Wang Xiaohu didn't take this matter to heart. Seeing those peers showing such admiring eyes, he casually talked about the skills of script writing, but he himself plagiarized the scripts of his previous life, so he also They couldn't tell the truth, and some of the script methods even made them feel unreasonable. They immediately felt that Wang Xiaohu was fooling them and didn't announce his true talents and learning to the world. As time passed, most of the screenwriters gave up.

It was very late when Wang Xiaohu helped Bruce Lee finish the second trailer of "The Way of the Dragon". He took a taxi to the vicinity of Cumberland Road, got out of the car and ran home. This is a training habit he has developed recently. , After returning home, he will conduct other training to ensure that his body is in peak condition.When Xiao ran into the woods, the light from the street lamps was extremely dim, Wang Xiaohu vaguely felt that there was a figure in the woods, so he stopped and stared at that part, and said after a long time: "Come out, you have been with me for more than a week, don't you feel Is it hard?"

That person came out slowly, and through the dim light, Wang Xiaohu could see that he was still young, with bushy eyebrows and big eyes, and his appearance was fairly regular, but his hair seemed to be disheveled like a chicken coop without washing for a few days.

"What's your name. What are you doing with me?"

The young man hesitated and said: "I, my name is Li Shaonan, and I would like to ask you to teach me how to write scripts" (Well, the third super character came out, and Li Shaonan reported it in the book review area after seeing it)
