new kung fu king

Chapter 154
After Chow Yun-fat sent the dishes downstairs, he went up the stairs nervously. His long-term life experience, coupled with the expression on the young boss's face, made him know that the young boss's mood at this time must not be much better. Could it be that his recent behavior It's not good, the young boss who provoked him has an opinion on himself, should he fire himself?
Thinking of this, Chow Yun-fat couldn't help feeling nervous. If he was fired, he might have to find a job again, but this is the restaurant with the highest salary in Hong Kong, and everyone treats him very well. It took twice as long as usual to go up. After standing in front of the office door for a long time, he knocked on the door with complicated emotions.

"Please come in."

"Boss, are you looking for me?" Chow Yun-fat came in with a bowed body, and stood there awkwardly.

Wang Xiaohu leaned on the back of the chair, propped his chin, and carefully observed Chow Yun-fat back and forth. If there was no Chow Yun-fat in Hong Kong, the Hong Kong film industry would be eclipsed a lot. Chow Yun-fat is the god of acting that Hong Kong films can never replace, and also the entire Chinese film industry. He was the god of acting in the movie, but now, he was standing in front of him with a flustered expression, which made Wang Xiaohu feel like he was being tricked by nature.

Opportunity is so illusory, you don’t know when it will come, maybe you are well prepared when it comes, and then you catch it and fly into the sky, maybe you will pass by it I don't know it.

Wang Xiaohu had a headache when thinking about the role of "Li Zhao", until he saw the waiter Zhou Runfa who was working for him, his head finally calmed down. "Handsome, clever, and perceptive" are all Chow Yun-fat's potential endorsements. Simply put, Wang Xiaohu has initially decided to let Chow Yun-fat play "Li Zhao".

But now Fa Ge is still an amateur, and Wang Xiaohu knows that even after he enters the TVB wireless training class next year, his test scores will hover on the edge of the passing line, far inferior to Wu Mengda, Ren Dahua and others in the same period. "Would it be risky to use this newcomer rashly?" Wang Xiaohu thought, with a little worry on his face, which soon disappeared, "Whatever, anyway, the theme of "Ip Man" is otaku Incarnate as a righteous warrior to fight Little Japan, Li Zhao is a classic if he plays the role well, and it’s just a foil if he doesn’t perform well, it won’t affect the overall quality of the film, use Fa Ge! Let him taste the sweetness first!”

Chow Yun-fat didn't know what the young boss was thinking. He saw the ups and downs on the young boss's face, and he felt even more disturbed. His thin and tall body trembled involuntarily. The pressure made him uneasy.Just when this uneasy factor was about to reach its peak, making him want to run away, the young boss spoke.

"Fazai, do you want to make a movie?" The voice seemed to reach my ears like a cloud, making Chow Yun-fat only momentarily absent-minded. What, the boss just asked me if I wanted to make a movie?Did I hear wrong?
Chow Yun-fat raised his head and looked at Wang Xiaohu with unbelievable eyes, and found that the other party's bright eyes were also open to him, and the smile on his face was so kind and charming, so he quickly calmed down the excitement in his heart, swallowed a mouthful of saliva and asked Said: "Boss, you just asked me if I want to make a movie?"

"Yeah!" Wang Xiaohu smiled slightly, pointed at Chow Yun-fat and said, "Fazi, you are really interesting. I'm not wrong, and you didn't hear it. I just asked you if you want to make a movie!"

Chow Yun-fat wished he could pinch his thigh to make sure he was dreaming, and asked in a somewhat unconfident tone, "I, can I?"

Although Fa Ge's current dress and temperament are far from the elegant, free and easy and uninhibited Xu Wenqiang in "Shanghai Beach", but Wang Xiaohu firmly believes that this kind of thing can be cultivated slowly. If you know that the other party is a good seed, If you don't train him or hone him, then he will never have a chance to make his mark, and he will only be hidden and buried in the snow, and even his whole life will be dimmed.Wang Xiaohu absolutely couldn't do this kind of thing, he secretly smiled as he looked at Fa Ge's embarrassed look, and said after a while: "Of course you can, do you remember what I was called by the media recently?"

"500 million box office screenwriter, New Wave director, the best martial arts director in Hong Kong." Chow Yun-fat blurted out without hesitation. He had read these titles through newspapers recently, and every time he read these reports, he was looking forward to and longing for the same To be valued by young bosses, and then step into the film and television industry, who doesn't have a star dream?The same goes for Chow Yun Fat.

Wang Xiaohu said with an incomprehensible smile on his face: "You still forgot one thing, whoever I praise will be popular."

"Yes!" Fa Ge's heart twitched violently and accelerated. He seemed to understand the meaning of the boss vaguely, but he was not sure yet. "Boss, do you want to?"

Wang Xiaohu nodded with a smile and said, "Well, I'm planning to shoot a new film, and I feel that there is an important role in it that suits you very well. I wonder if you are interested."

"Yes! I'm interested!" Fa Ge finally fully believed that this was not a dream, he quickly became excited, and grinned his white teeth, revealing the excitement and excitement in his heart.

"Very good, as long as you are interested. From now on, you will work in the restaurant during the day, and study the script when you go back at night. Try to figure out the situation of this role. Remember, this role is very important and opportunities are rare!"

"Okay. Absolutely no problem. Boss, don't worry. I will definitely study the script carefully." Chow Yun-fat said sincerely. He felt that the words of the young boss were very encouraging. Although he didn't know why the boss trusted him so much, it made him feel A feeling of being flattered, as if the boss put a lot of emphasis on me.

Seeing that the matter was settled, Wang Xiaohu twitched his eyebrows and said to Brother Fa: "Fazi, remember to keep this matter a secret, and don't mention it to outsiders casually, especially the reporters who squat in our restaurant every day."

"Ok, I know."

"Okay, there's nothing else to do. I'll bring the script over in a few days. You can go to the restaurant first."

"Okay!" Chow Yun-fat went out happily. He was very excited. He originally thought that the young boss would fire him, but he didn't want a big pie to fall from the sky and almost knocked him out. After twisting his thigh hard, he He cried out in pain, reconfirmed that this was not a dream, and then happily went to the kitchen to serve the dishes. His whole body was full of motivation, making the chefs in the kitchen think that the boss had raised his salary.

In the past few days, Wang Xiaohu has re-read the script of "Ip Man" several times, and carefully compared it with the movies he watched in his previous life, but he always felt that there was something wrong. I noticed it, but with a deeper understanding of Ip Man and Wing Chun, that feeling became stronger and stronger.

"Isn't it too bland?" Wang Xiaohu frowned and looked at the martial arts moves he had designed. Plain doesn't mean that the martial arts moves have no sense of reality, nor does it have no viewing value. On the contrary, when it comes to martial arts move design, no matter the industry Or the audience respects themselves.So what is wrong?Wang Xiaohu re-watched the entire martial arts design from the beginning.

The first person to play is Master Liao, which is the coordinate one as a reference object. He was naturally defeated by Ip Man. No one can say that the fight was not exciting, but no one will applaud, because this is just a very ordinary fight scene. It is almost a necessary part of a kung fu movie. People get very little information from this fight. It can be said that there is only one thing, that is, Ip Man is better than Master Liao. As for how much better, no one knows. , who can only do a few strokes of a three-legged cat, then Ye Man's victory is meaningless.

At this time, the second coordinate appeared. As soon as Jinshan came out, he easily defeated the masters of the major martial arts gyms, and almost didn't get hit. Master Liao, as a player who could compete with him a few times, proved Master Liao's kung fu It is above the major pavilion owners, but it is not as good as Jinshanxou, so Ye Wen's defeat of Jinshanxou is more convincing than Ye Wen's killing the Quartet as soon as he came up.This is just the simplest example. In fact, after counting the most amazing scenes in the film, the reason why people’s hearts are full of excitement is entirely because the previous preparations have been done well, like a pot of water on the stove. It took a long time, and Ye Wen's shot was just at the moment when the water boiled, and he defeated those who seemed invincible before.

"Supposedly the foreshadowing is in place, and the audience also feel that this is a matter of course, but why do I still feel dissatisfied?" Wang Xiaohu continued to look down depressed. The 1V10 scene was very passionate, and it also made people want to beat up the little devil. Pleasure, and at the end, Ye Man completely exploded and beat Miura as a wooden dummy, which was even more hearty and hearty. It was almost logical, and it was also a scene that the audience was looking forward to, which could easily arouse the audience's national integrity.

Wang Xiaohu looked at it for a long time, then slapped his thigh suddenly, and suddenly realized: "Yes, there is a problem here! The contrast is not strong, no wonder I don't look right no matter how I look at it, Miura is not in the same class as Ye Wen, is it? Does it mean that he is a general with high kung fu? Impossible, this is just the audience's subconscious view of him as a big boss. Wu Chi Lin is clearly a soft-legged shrimp! Hahaha, I know what to do!"

It is precisely because Miura only took two shots, and the first time he faced Wu Chilin and other three opponents, he won easily, which seemed to give people a very strong feeling, but Wu Chilin's skills are very good, otherwise he would not It's still so self-defeating to learn N teachers in Wuguan Street.So when he was fighting Ye Wen in the arena, he was beaten by Ye Wen with no strength, giving people a sense of commonplace, completely lacking the basic conditions that a BOSS should have, and making people feel anticlimactic. .

Think about Fujita Takeshi who I played in "Fist of Fury", didn't he make some mighty moves when he appeared on the stage, which enhanced the audience's impression of him being extremely powerful. If this is the case, let Miura's Martial arts opponents become some masters in Wuguan Street!After all, although the masters on Wuguan Street are not as powerful as Master Liao, they are still better than Wu Chilin!

Wang Xiaohu felt that he was pursuing perfection more and more, and his harshness on himself had reached an unprecedented peak. He knew that this phenomenon was not good. After all, this was in the 70s, and the audience was still watching the excitement, and there were very few It depends on the connotation, but since "The Righteous Hero" made him successful, he has gradually moved himself closer to this aspect. Furthermore, "Ip Man" is of great significance. Ip Man's time is numbered. Seeing that his biography is so perfect, he should leave with a smile.

I don’t know how many times I overthrew and re-conceived the martial arts design. In short, it was already mid-May when Wang Xiaohu completed the martial arts design of "Ip Man". This was the longest and most tiring time in his creative career. But look With the heavy manuscript paper in his hand, he felt extra fulfilled and fulfilled.

Wang Xiaohu distributed the script and all the martial arts designs according to the division of labor between the actors, and asked them to spend a week to fully familiarize themselves with the characters, figure out the characters, and familiarize themselves with the action rehearsals.

The search for Ren Dahua is still going on, and the role of Zhou Qingquan has not yet been determined. As for the child "Ye Zhun", Stephen Chow will still play the role. After all, Xingzi's age is basically the same as "Ye Zhun" in the play.

On the contrary, Sammo Hung, Jackie Chan and others were all happy after seeing the script, especially Jackie Chan. Although "Indomitable Heaven" produced by Dadi Company was released after "Raptors Crossing the River", the box office was extremely poor, which hit Jackie Chan hard. , more than once to talk to Yuen Biao and others, and later Yuen Biao said that you should come back and hang out with Ah Hu, Jackie Chan said goodbye to Zhu Mu from Dadi without even thinking about it, packed up and ran back with a simple salute.

Wang Xiaohu didn't say anything about it. After all, they are all his own brothers. After giving him the script, he patted him on the shoulder and encouraged him: "Aaron do a good job."

"Hey, definitely!" Jackie Chan replied with a smile. Now that he knows the bitterness and bitterness of his wanderings outside, he naturally cherishes this rare opportunity.

Compared to Jackie Chan, Chow Yun-fat was under a lot of pressure. Everyone present were insiders, and they had more or less filmed scenes. He was the only one who was an outsider. So after getting the script, he read and researched it every day. He also asked Yuan Heping, Sammo Hung and others for their experience. As for why he didn't go to Wang Xiaohu, the reason was very simple. He was afraid that his boss would find him troublesome, and that the boss would give this role to others.

The people in the crew were also very jealous of Chow Yun-fat. They didn't understand why the younger brother gave such an important role to a newcomer, but they remembered the previous "Righteous Heroes", as well as Yuen Biao, Zhao Yazhi and others who are already very popular now. Rest assured, the younger brother definitely has his reasons for doing this, and no one is better at understanding people than him.

Wang Xiaohu heaved a sigh of relief after finishing his work. He felt that all the preparations were almost done, so he had to choose an auspicious day to start shooting. At this moment, Bruce Lee invited him over with a phone call.

"Ahu, are you fully recovered now?"

"Well, fully recovered!"

"That's good, pack your things, we should go to Japan!"
