Chapter 208 Premiere ([-])
The New Century Cinema, which accommodates 400 people, was full of seats. After entering the theater, the audience sat down obediently and waited for the premiere. Thoughts" music, Xu Guanwen and Shen Dianxia stepped onto the stage.

Shen Dianxia waved to the audience with a smile and said: "Good evening, welcome to the New Century Cinema to watch the premiere of "Ip Man". As your old friends, Guanwen and I are honored to host tonight's premiere .”

Xu Guanwen also nodded and said: "Yes, we all know that without Mr. Ip Man, we would not have this wonderful flower of Wing Chun in Hong Kong. Do you know, Mr. Ip Man is very famous in Hong Kong. He is famous in Hong Kong. Not long ago, he was awarded the title of good citizen of Hong Kong. Not only that, but his apprentices are all over the world, including international superstar Bruce Lee, Inspector Tang Sheng of O Kee, Huang Chunliang, the head of Wing Chun, and the screenwriter, director, and leading actor of our film. Mr. Wang Xiaohu is the grandson of the old man!"

"Wow! I didn't expect Mr. Ip Man to be so powerful, but I heard that Wing Chun was created by women. Why are there many men practicing it? This is a very strange phenomenon." Shen Dianxia said with a frown.

"You don't know that, do you?" Xu Guanwen explained as if he knew everything.

The opening of the premiere was specially requested by Wang Xiaohu. The purpose was to briefly introduce the history of Wing Chun and Ip Man's deeds, so that the audience could have a general understanding of the background of the film.Although he has never watched the premiere of "Ip Man" in his previous life, it does not prevent him from being familiar with the process of the premiere. It is nothing more than going to the film's sponsor, director, and leading actors to talk about their feelings and experiences about the film. .

Due to the rush of preparation time and the fact that Hong Kong residents were unfamiliar with the premiere in the 70s, Wang Xiaohu did not follow a fixed process to arrange it. After all, this is the first premiere in Hong Kong and even in the world. How would he want to do it? Prepare as you are.

After Shen Dianxia and Xu Guanwen finished speaking briefly on the stage, they entered the important part of the premiere. Xu Guanwen said: "Next, Mr. Ip Man, the prototype character of this film, will lead the main staff of Wing Chun School to present wonderful performances for everyone. Wing Chun performance, everyone applauds."

Amid the rich music of "Small Thoughts", Ip Man, wearing a dark gown, walked onto the stage with the support of Bruce Lee and Wang Xiaohu, followed by the main leaders of Wing Chun School, Huang Shunliang and Deng Sheng.As soon as the group walked onto the stage, the audience burst into applause.Part of the audience is for Bruce Lee and Wang Xiaohu, and the other part is for Wing Chun.

In order to cooperate with the promotion of the film, Wang Xiaohu also wore a dark gown this time, and stood at the front with Ye Wen. Shen Dianxia walked over and said: "Old Ye, I would like to ask, do you feel that Xiaohu looks like you when you were young?" ?”

Ye Wen smiled and said, "Like, why doesn't it look like it?"

In fact, Wang Xiaohu is taller than Ye Wen, and there are many differences in appearance between the two, but since Ye Wen said that there is no difference, what else can others say?The answer is no, if Wang Xiaohu is not Ip Man's disciple, if Wang Xiaohu has never learned the authentic Wing Chun from Ip Man, he may not be justified, and rashly filming "Ip Man" will cause a lot of accusations, a layman There is nothing to watch in filming Wing Chun, even if Wang Xiaohu has a relatively high popularity now.

But Wang Xiaohu currently has these conditions, and Ye Wen has not raised any objections now, and the audience will not find any faults. If these rigid conditions were not met, Wang Xiaohu would not choose to shoot this film when Ye Man was alive .

The two hosts also consulted Bruce Lee, Huang Chunliang, Deng Sheng and other people close to Ip Man, and got the same answer. They were all satisfied with Ip Man played by Wang Xiaohu.This kind of arrangement is also Wang Xiaohu's request, the purpose is to rectify the root cause, first of all, to maintain objective factors in public opinion.

One old and one young in the same dress lead the main force of Wing Chun to perform the main routines such as Xiaoniantou, Biaozhi, and sticky hands. It was people who saw the aging Ye Wen's skills that had not diminished in the past, and they admired Ye Man even more.

In order to increase the interaction on the spot, there were two wooden dummy piles on the stage of the staff. There were Ip Man, Wang Xiaohu, Bruce Lee, and Huang Chunliang respectively for demonstrations. The aura quickly attracted the attention of the audience. If they remember correctly, Wing Chun is the first martial arts school in Hong Kong to demonstrate on such an occasion. The first person to be recorded in the history of film. (Alive, don't tell me about Huang Feihong.)
It can be said that as the most important part of the premiere ceremony, whether it is the two hosts or Ip Man, Wang Xiaohu and others, they have created a very good atmosphere. At this time, everyone has already had an intuitive impression of Wing Chun. After watching During the movie, there will not be too many doubts.

"Ahu, what do you think is the biggest difficulty you encountered during the filming?" After finishing the Wing Chun demonstration, Xu Guanwen began to interview Wang Xiaohu and other main creative personnel according to the procedure, telling the ups and downs of the filming and letting the audience know This film was not easy to shoot.

Wang Xiaohu took the microphone and said with a smile: "The biggest difficulty should be how to interpret the profundity of the masters of the generation of the ancestors. Fortunately, the ancestors gave guidance throughout the filming process, and the ancestors will also correct some mistakes in time. "

"I heard that the Ip Man you played in the film is very henpecked, so in reality, would you be such a person?" Shen Dianxia asked an embarrassing topic for Wang Xiaohu.Wang Xiaohu rubbed his nose and said, "Actually, I can use the dialogue in the movie to answer this question: There are no men who are afraid of their wives in this world, only men who respect their wives!"

As soon as Wang Xiaohu said this sentence, the female audience applauded enthusiastically. Who made this sentence so beautiful? The female compatriots can go home and clean up the mess. , very good, then drag him to the theater to watch "Ip Man", to see the demeanor and demeanor of a great master of his generation.Because of this wonderful line of dialogue, I don’t know how many housewives brought their husbands to watch it many times afterwards, making "Ip Man" a popular movie recommended by many housewives for a while.

Shen Dianxia waited until the applause of the audience quieted down and asked, "Ah Hu, do you think someone like me can learn Wing Chun?"

"Yes, why not? In fact, Wing Chun is especially suitable for women with weak physical strength to learn, and it can play a very good role in self-defense. When you watch the video, Sister Fei, pay attention to it after 1 hour and 15 minutes, which is the scene in the cotton factory. Playing dramas, you will find that there are many women who have learned Wing Chun for a period of time and can have fierce skills."

The following process of the premiere was a bit monotonous for Wang Xiaohu. The two hosts, Shen Dianxia and Xu Guanwen, respectively interviewed Zhao Yazhi, Huang Chunliang, Chow Yun-fat, Stephen Chow and other leading actors. This kind of interview program was very important for Hong Kong citizens in the 70s. It is still relatively novel, they can get close to the crew and get an in-depth understanding of how a film is shot.

While watching, Run Run Shaw kept whispering to the senior executives around him. He found that Wang Xiaohu had a very accurate grasp of the pulse of the current Hong Kong movies. Leading the entire film and television industry, the methods used are also unheard of. He asked the Shaw Brothers executives who were present today to write a summary after returning home, and to summarize Wang Xiaohu's successful experience through his own analysis, and asked to use these experiences in the future. Practice in filming.

Two hours later, the premiere ceremony came to an end. The audience had long been excited by the words of Wang Xiaohu and others, and they were looking forward to "Ip Man". If it wasn't for the interesting arrangement of the premiere ceremony, they would have jumped to their feet and scolded their mothers. Asked for a refund or something.

The movie finally started to be shown. With the melodious melody, all the audience focused on the screen. As soon as Wang Xiaohu came out, he was competing with the wooden mannequin. It was even more exciting than the performance on the stage just now, especially after simple makeup and Under the effect of lighting, there is a sense of a master. In the opening chapter, Master Liao's challenge and his wife Yongcheng lost his temper, showing that this kind of discussion occupies a lot of time in Ip Man's life.It also shows a kind of mentality of Foshan martial artists: to defeat Ye Wen and become famous in Foshan.Ye Wen's simultaneous voice when the old servant was clearing the table after the meal: "Don't clean it up yet, close the door first." And Ye Wen's expectant and excited eyes in the close-up, a few strokes outline a low-key, elegant and infatuated martial arts The image of the master immediately murdered the eyes of many women at the scene.

The rhythm of the previous small fights was very ingenious, allowing the audience to enjoy the warm film style and Wang Xiaohu's charm in literature and drama without knowing it.
Especially the classic line "There is no man who is afraid of his wife in this world, only a man who respects his wife" is enough to make him a perfect husband candidate in women's minds.The audience thought of the words Wang Xiaohu uttered during the premiere, and once again burst into warm applause.However, their emotion was quickly replaced by the sensory stimulation brought about by the intense fighting.

Wang Xiaohu couldn't help laughing when he saw this, because when filming the first climax scene of the audience, he led the crew to toss for a long time. In the competition, three layers of "Soothing Killing Stance" were used.And the previous foreshadowing has fully mobilized the audience's sense of expectation for this fight (it was mentioned in the previous article, so I won't repeat it.)
