Chapter 145 Several Advantages of "The Righteous Hero" over "Ma Yongzhen"
Wang Xiaohu just glanced at Silent Words and ignored him, because when he saw him, he remembered Shen Guohao, one of the high-level members of the 14K club who once regarded him as a brother on the surface, but secretly acquiesced and even supported Bai Yunsheng to slander him.

Wang Xiaohu didn't mistreat Bai Yunsheng. After learning the truth from him, Wang Xiaohu released Bai Yunsheng.It was from that moment that Wang Xiaohu began to take precautions against Shen Guohao.

At first, Wang Xiaohu was worried that Zhou Xingchi would not adapt to the unfamiliar environment, but when they walked into the classroom, those students who were watching the grand ceremony to welcome Bruce Lee suddenly ran in, and someone shouted, "That's Wang Xiaohu, "The Righteousness" What does the hero of "Xia" come to our classroom?" "Is that child Wang Xiaohu's?" "."

When Wang Xiaohu heard this sentence, he almost jumped up, thinking that the students in Hong Kong are really imaginative, and they are really gossiping.Soon Wang Xiaohu was surrounded by this group of students, because they had all watched "The Righteous Man" and knew that Wang Xiaohu was Bruce Lee's brother. Although they couldn't participate in the grand meeting to welcome Bruce Lee, it was a good choice to have a close contact with Wang Xiaohu .

"Uncle Xiaohu, what are you doing in our classroom today?" A student asked.

Wang Xiaohu smiled, patted Zhou Xingchi on the shoulder and said, "Of course I sent my apprentice Xingzi to class. Xingzi will be your classmate from now on." After speaking, he pushed Zhou Xingchi to the front and asked him to say hello to his classmates.

Although Zhou Xingchi was a little reluctant, he knew that if he wanted to adapt to this new environment, he had to work hard on his own, so he took a deep breath and said loudly: "Hi everyone, my name is Zhou Xingchi, please take care of me in the future!"

The students clapped their hands, "I remember, you are a little cricket, right?"

"That's right, what about the little cricket, why didn't I recognize it just now!" A few children went up and held Zhou Xingchi's hand, so Zhou Xingchi became a starlet in the class on the first day of class. After all, he was in "The Righteous Man" The performance in is very bright, which makes many small audiences envy him.

Zhou Xingchi, who was enjoying the adoration of his classmates, was no longer timid. He puffed up his chest and talked with his classmates, and he was very harmonious.

Watching this scene, Wang Xiaohu finally felt relieved, and quietly walked out of the classroom.There are still five people in the corridor who have not entered the classroom, namely Shen Moyan, Wu Jing, Wu Nan, Wu Wei, and Jin Xin. Among them, the three Wu brothers are called "Three Eagles" in the school. The school uniforms of the three of them are open. The tattoo on the chest was an eagle that was always spreading its wings, it looked very hideous and strange, Wang Xiaohu couldn't help frowning when he saw this.He felt that it was necessary to talk to Brother Wei Xiushan. After all, the five little guys in front of him didn't look like good students, especially the silent kid with the nickname "Prince Brother", who should be the school's little bully. Kind of local snake.

"It seems that this is not the first time this kid stabbed someone with a beer bottle. What kind of father really raised what kind of son! Unexpectedly, the power of gangsters in Hong Kong has penetrated into the school, even St. Francis Xavier's College No exception!" Wang Xiaohu strode over with emotion, and every time he took a step, Shen Yan trembled and looked at him anxiously.

"You, you, what do you want to do?" Silently asked in a trembling voice without the arrogance he had before.The four little kids around him also became nervous when they heard this, wondering if Wang Xiaohu had any trouble with his prince brother, otherwise the prince brother would be as scared as a mouse seeing a cat when he saw him?They didn't know that the two had met half a year ago, and their prince brother was almost kicked to death by Wang Xiaohu, and even fell into a deep psychological shadow, which has not recovered yet.

"I don't do anything." Wang Xiaohu stopped in front of them, shrugged and said, "It seems that you are doing well in this school. My apprentice Xingzai will be classmates with you in the future. Remember to take care of him and don't let him He learns badly!"

"Oh, oh." Mo Moyan just nodded and agreed, not knowing that the four young generals under him were already overwhelmed at this moment, my God, Wang Xiaohu actually spoke to the prince in an orderly tone, and the prince agreed so happily up!Jin Xin turned his little head as if he remembered something, his face showed an expression of sudden realization, and after swallowing his saliva suddenly, his eyes showed enthusiasm.

After Wang Xiaohu left, Shen Moyan breathed a sigh of relief, the fear just now almost drained all his strength, Jin Xin suddenly said: "Brother Prince, did Wang Xiaohu ever beat Qu Dafu in front of the big boss of Iron Blood Hall?" Fat Biao?" Mo Moyan nodded with a pale face.Jin Xin immediately oh, Wu's Sanying immediately asked, Jin Xin told them what he knew about the Temple Street incident, and Sanying also immediately oh, looking at Wang Xiaohu's back has become hot.

"You take care of Xingzi from now on, don't let those foreigners bully him." Although Mo Moyan was reluctant, he still said this, because Wang Xiaohu put too much pressure on him invisibly.

Wang Xiaohu didn't know that he would have such a big psychological shadow on Silent Words. If he knew, he would definitely be depressed, because he would be suspected of bullying a child, and it would be embarrassing to speak out.

Wang Xiaohu did not stay at school. Taking advantage of the rare free time, he chose to go home to write the script of "Ip Man". When he passed by the newsstand, he did not forget to buy a few reports of the day. The current situation of the Hong Kong film industry is conducive to the development of his next plan.

Most of today's newspapers are publishing the hype of Shaw Brothers' new film "Ma Yongzhen". Seeing the classic case of Uncle Shao following the trend and making a trailer by himself, Wang Xiaohu laughed, hey, Uncle Shao finally couldn't keep calm, but his The publicity channel is wider than oneself, who will let others hold a wireless TV resource in their hands.

Although TV programs were not yet highly regarded by Hong Kong citizens at this time, a few years later, especially after the death of Bruce Lee, Hong Kong movies fell into a low ebb until the end of the 70s. During this period of time, TV programs began to show their power, attracting the attention of most citizens from the cinema to the TV, and the glorious era of TVB began from then on. In the future, a large number of film and television stars will also appear on the stage one after another, writing their own star journeys.

Wang Xiaohu felt that he still had a long way to go, and he needed to do many things, but his current strength was not enough to complete them. "Be steady, don't mess up your position, and it's not good to overwhelm the growth." Wang Xiaohu said to himself, and then continued to browse the newspaper .

The "Ma Yongzhen" in my memory was adapted from the 1927 film "Shandong Ma Yongzhen".Zhang Che’s style of violence aesthetics, Bao Xueli’s hand-held photography, Tang Jia’s and Liu Jialiang’s Hongquan style of fighting, and the wonderful performance of Chen Guantai, the Southeast Asian free kick champion for the first time, make the action scenes of "Ma Yongzhen" continue to be tough, Bloody and brutal visual style.However, what Zhang Cheh brought to the audience this time is not only sensory shock, the story of the film does not repeat the romantic chivalry that director Zhang Da is good at, but on the contrary, through the life trajectory of the protagonist Ma Yongzhen from "making a name for himself" to "going to destruction", the audience understands To the cruelty of reality and the transformation of human nature.

Now the newspapers only introduce simple plots, and even the information of the main personnel. The most important thing is Chen Guantai's information. Wang Xiaohu didn't know it. In May 1969, Singapore held the Southeast Asian martial arts competition, and masters from all schools in Hong Kong signed up to participate.In order to fight for honor for the Great Sage, Chen Xiuzhong selected his favorite disciple Chen Guantai to participate.As a result of the competition, Chen Guantai defeated five well-known Southeast Asian boxing masters in five consecutive hard fights, and won the light first class championship.At that time, the newspapers in that part of Southeast Asia all introduced his short history, saying that he was a disciple of Chen Xiuzhong, a hero of the Monkey Fist of the Great Sage Gate, and he became famous by the dozen.This was discovered by Zhang Cheh to star in "Ma Yongzhen".

"Hehe, the Australian wrestler Malanu was chosen as a foreign actor. It seems that Shaw Brothers is definitely going against Xiehe this time." Wang Xiaohu noticed that there were foreign actors participating in the cast list, and after reading the information of the other party, he knew that Malanu was It is very popular with TVB viewers. What Shaw Brothers did is nothing more than imitating the model of "Way of the Dragon", using the fame of foreign martial arts masters to increase the gimmick of the movie. This is already left over by Wang Xiaohu.However, this method is easy to attract the audience's attention. Think about whether I will invite a Japanese karate master to make a cameo in the "Ip Man" I am about to create.

"Everyone is right and wrong, it's just half a catty and a hundred steps! To use "Ma Yongzhen" to surpass my "Righteous Hero"? Shaw Brothers may have miscalculated!" Wang Xiaohu closed the newspaper and ignored it, because he The reason why "Yi Xia" is released at all costs is not to seize the opportunity to win the box office?
Now Wang Xiaohu can completely predict that the box office performance of "Ma Yongzhen" will not be able to surpass his own "Righteous Hero". Compared with a reborn person like myself, the script is too...poor.If I hadn't filmed "The Righteous Hero", "Ma Yongzhen" would very well have become the originator of Hong Kong's first gangster film, and even a noun like the Ax Gang would be made a classic by Shaw Brothers, what a pity.

The second point is the martial arts design. The martial arts director of "Ma Yongzhen" is Liu Jialiang. Wang Xiaohu is quite familiar with this film industry veteran. He knows that Liu Jialiang is the first filmmaker in Hong Kong to go from martial arts director to action director. After Bruce Lee's death, in the second year, he cooperated with Zhang Che in "Fang Shiyu and Hong Xiguan" to start the "authentic martial arts" route, continuing the mantle of Bruce Lee's real kung fu. His kung fu movies will always show the vivid content and technical formation of Lingnan martial arts history .In particular, "The 1978 Rooms of Shaolin" directed by him in 36 was a great success by including a large number of scenes of Shaolin monks practicing Kungfu, ranking fifth in the top ten grossing films in Hong Kong that year.

It can be said that Liu Jiaban was the most influential action team in Hong Kong in the 70s. Later, Li Jiahui, Feng Ke'an, Zeng Zhiwei, Xiong Xinxin and others were Cheng Yuan of Liu Jiaban. Even the best actress in the first episode of the Hong Kong Film Awards was Hui Yinghong, who once followed Liu Jialiang to film "The Elders".

Liu Jialiang does have real kung fu, but too few awards, and his martial arts style is too old-fashioned, and he doesn't know how to adapt, which has become the biggest obstacle for Liu Jialiang's failure to open the box office. Wang Xiaohu remembers the 2003 "Drunk The box office of "Monkey" was bleak. It can be said that Liu Jialiang looks very good now, and his good looks will be eclipsed in a few years.

"It's not your fault that the martial arts movements are well-regulated. The fault is that the appetite of the audience has been fed by me. Uncle Jialiang, you should try to accept new things!" Wang Xiaohu muttered viciously.

The third point is the plot. Wang Xiaohu doesn’t even bother to make comparisons anymore, because after "Ma Yongzhen" is released, I believe those media reporters will definitely compare two films with similar themes, and then they will judge a comparison table. It is immediately clear who is better and who is worse.

When Wang Xiaohu returned home, he saw that Li Shaonan was still tidying up the room diligently. Although the kid was a bit brainy, his attitude was really good. The family also saved the need to hire a nanny, which was a good deal.

"Master, are you back?" Li Shaonan greeted him politely, and then buried himself in his work. It seems that the child has already figured it out. Now is not the time to ask for a teacher. It is best to impress the master with his own practical actions.

Wang Xiaohu entered the study room and fell into deep thought. He replayed the whole "Ip Man" in his mind like a movie. Of course, he didn't revisit it completely. He only remembered the most exciting martial arts scenes and the simple plot outline. After getting it right, he started writing the script.

In line with the beginning and end of the plot of a movie masterpiece, the action scenes of martial arts movies are also divided into four parts: opening, stalemate, turning point, and ending.When Wang Xiaohu designs a martial arts action, he first needs to grasp the context of the scene according to the script, so that he can outline and grasp the internal rhythm of the fighting situation.

According to the memory of the film and the communication with Ip Man during this period, Wang Xiaohu knows that although Ye Man is famous as a nobleman, he also knows the truth of keeping a low profile. In "Ip Man", he didn't make many shots, but in In different periods, he showed the stimulation of the social environment to himself, and shaped the character of Ip Man into flesh and blood little by little. Fortunately, there are leaders in his previous life who led the way. What Wang Xiaohu has to do is to imitate and modify.
