Chapter 224 The Highlight of "Warrior"

The idea of ​​using basketball to kill more weapons is Wang Xiaohu's inspiration from the fighting game in his previous life - The King of Fighters 98, because every time the team he chooses meets the basketball guy Lucky, he is always thrown down from the sky by the opponent. He hated the basketball guy from the bottom of his heart, so when he heard Bruce Lee say that Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was still busy with NBA games, this inspiration immediately flooded his brain.

And Kareem Abdul-Jabbar has an inherent advantage in using basketball as a murder weapon. After all, this big guy was a master of the NBA in the 70s.If you say that Kareem Abdul-Jabbar has never hit someone with a basketball, who will believe it?

"You two, it's actually very simple to use a basketball as a weapon. It uses its rebounding force to hit people. The stronger you use it, the stronger its rebounding force will be. The force of hitting others is the same!" Wang Xiaohu patted the palm of his right hand. Basketball said: "My idea is this, Tian Jun and Chen Jieyuan will sneak up to the fourth floor when Brother Xiaolong is fighting with Yilu Shandu, and when they climb up, they will be knocked unconscious by the sneak attacking basketball. And Tian Jun was a little bit luckier, successfully dodging two basketballs."

Wang Xiaohu said and gestured: "Here, a big sandbag will be placed in this place. When Tian Jun dodged, the basketball hit the sandbag, and the sandbag was hit by the basketball, making a loud bang!"

"Wow!" Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's eyes suddenly lit up, "I never thought basketball would have such a magical effect!"

Bruce Lee couldn't control his excitement and said, "Brother, I feel very visual just listening to your dictation. How many basketballs do you plan to visit on the fourth floor?"

"Uh, at least 20 or so!" Wang Xiaohu pondered for a while and said, "I almost forgot! There should be a deck chair on the side of the stairs on the fifth floor! Kareem, you just lie here and stun Tian Jun and Chen Jieyuan. Don’t get up at this time! In this way, when Xiaolong comes up, he will sensitively avoid the basketball you throw, and stand up when you don’t have a basketball in your hand, so that the heights of the two will form a strong contrast!”

While talking with his mouth, Wang Xiaohu formed a scene of martial arts action in his mind. In order to highlight the strong contrast and fun of this fighting scene, he took great pains. He scored more than ten hits just by using basketball as a weapon. Methods.After half a year of high-intensity running-in with four films, he is fully qualified for the role of martial arts director, so you can see how much care and brain cells a director has to spend in the Hong Kong film industry to seek innovation and breakthroughs.

"I can't wait!" Bruce Lee said, taking off his shirt and putting on a yellow one-piece sweatshirt, "Dude, what are you waiting for, let's rehearse now!"

"OK!" Wang Xiaohu snapped his fingers, then picked up the loudspeaker and shouted to the people at the base: "Brother Xin, Zhang Yuan, you two bring the basketball over here, Tian Jun, Xie Yuan, hurry up, I want to tell you Speaking of roles, except Diao Weiya and the members of the drama staff, other personnel should not watch the excitement, go and do what you should do, if I see someone wandering here, be careful of your monthly exam results!"

As soon as the trainees heard this, they immediately dispersed obediently. Although they also wanted to see how the idols filmed at a close distance, and they also wanted to learn to increase their knowledge, but these were nothing compared to the monthly exam, because the junior training class The monthly test items are too difficult for them. Among other things, you have to complete a certain action according to the questions given by the examiner, or play a leading role or a supporting role or a secondary role. Even if it is a dead body test item, it is required to hold your breath for more than 1 minute !Not to mention that Diao Weiya completed a few chic and elegant optional moves!

"Okay, everyone come here!" Wang Xiaohu clapped his hands and said, "Let me talk about the specific requirements first. You, the Wia team, must pay special attention. You must listen to my password when Ravia, and the timing must be in place! Kareem, throw it!" Don’t use too much strength when you go out to the basketball, just use the strength to rebound and pass the ball, otherwise the three of them will be injured!” Wang Xiaohu said, pointing to Bruce Lee, Tian Jun, and Chen Jieyuan.

Abdul-Jabbar nodded, it was a common practice for him, and it was too easy to relax.After Wang Xiaohu finished all the requirements, he arranged for the first rehearsal, and saw basketballs flying around the field, and Wang Xiaohu's voice of yelling "CUT" changed from initial anxiety to flat, even numbness.

Baskets, which rely on rebounding power, are sometimes very disobedient. Maybe Kareem Abdul-Jabbar is a good basketball player, but it is a bit difficult for Tian Jun and Chen Jieyuan, who are streetball players. It took about two hours. The two were able to perform Wang Xiaohu's movements well.

While taking everyone to rest, Wang Xiaohu said to Bruce Lee: "Brother Xiaolong, when you rush up to the fourth floor, you must first look down at the two companions lying on the ground, and then look at the basketballs all over the room. Sometimes, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar will smash a basketball, you have to use Jeet Kune Do’s flexible side-sliding steps to dodge, and then inadvertently hide in the sandbags scattered on the ground, well, I will add it here during the actual shooting A close-up."

"In the beginning, your success rate in dodging the basketball is very high, but when Kareem Abdul-Jabbar slows down and the accuracy rate increases, you have to take appropriate counterattacks!" Wang Xiaohu said with a spread of hands.

"How to fight back? I have no idea about this new thing!" Bruce Lee frowned slightly while touching his chin and said, "You came up with this thing, you should have a way to crack it!"

"Okay!" Wang Xiaohu felt that his throat was about to smoke. He drank a sip of water and said, "For example, use your one-inch fist to hit the incoming ball back, for example, use your step to side kick, for example, use your You have three chances to bounce the basketball to other places. For the last basketball, I suggest you use a run-up side kick to kick the basketball directly in the direction of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. Get out of the way on the recliner, the recliner will also be torn apart!"

"Wonderful!" Bruce Lee clapped his hands and said excitedly, "This action is well designed!"

The reason why Bruce Lee said yes was because he felt that it was in line with his character traits, and more in line with the characteristics of Jeet Kune Do.

Seeing that he had no objection, Wang Xiaohu nodded and said, "OK, let's rehearse this scene! It's still the same sentence: Safety first!"

After a while, the sound of basketball slapping came from the base again.
After a whole day of tossing around, the group returned home exhausted. After a simple dinner, they gathered in Wang Xiaohu's study to discuss tomorrow's shooting plan. Shooting can be done in an assembly line.

"Tomorrow we will go to Shaw Brothers Film and Television City in Qingshui Bay for official shooting. Tonight, all we need to do is to familiarize ourselves with the script." Wang Xiaohu took the director's diary and said with a wry smile: "Actually speaking, our film is the best, almost There are not a few dialogues, it is all about fighting, how to fight well, how to fight with a breakthrough is victory!"

Bruce Lee also shrugged his shoulders and said with a wry smile: "Yes, I'm afraid this is the only movie in the world that doesn't have a heroine, and the whole story is fighting!"

"Hehe, this is your movie, a special series of Jeet Kune Do movies. I think the audience will be even more obsessed with your Jeet Kune Do after watching it!" Kareem Abdul-Jabbar interjected.

Bruce Lee nodded, raised his clenched right fist and said: "This is also an attempt. I don't have too many expectations for the film's box office. I only hope to shoot a pure kung fu film with my own style!"

In fact, Wang Xiaohu completed the creation based on this goal. From the script to the action design, to the complex background setting of each member, it was completely in accordance with Bruce Lee's intention, and he had played many fighting games in his previous life. Come on, why didn't those game developers find inspiration from "Game of Death"?He just borrowed part of it reasonably.

"Billy, you come directly to my house tomorrow morning to assemble, and try to finish shooting your scenes in one morning." Wang Xiaohu took a pen and circled the director's diary, and then said to Bruce Lee: "Billy has to go back to the martial arts gym." In training, he has a little game in a week."

Bruce Lee said, "Well, let's shoot Billy first."

The phone in the study rang at this moment, Wang Xiaohu grabbed the phone and asked, "Hi, who are you looking for?"

"Mr. Wang Xiaohu, I am Xiao Ma from Shaw Brothers Taiwan Branch."

"Ah, hello, Brother Ma." Wang Xiaohu raised his eyebrows and secretly said that Shao's work efficiency is really high, and the results were achieved within three days after the arrangement was made.

But what Manager Ma gave him was not good news: "Well, Mr. Wang, the thing is like this. After receiving your request, we immediately launched an investigation. When we arrived at Jinling Middle School, we found that the person you were looking for Ms. Lin has graduated, and, moreover, she has signed a contract with the 80s film company."

"Damn it! Brigitte Lin was scooped up first!!" Wang Xiaohu shouted depressingly on the phone, drawing the attention of Bruce Lee and others.

"Who is Brigitte Lin?" Bruce Lee frowned.

"I don't know either. It sounds like a woman's name." Billy Zhou shook his head.

"Tiger's lover?" Kareem blinked, and looked at Wang Xiaohu's eyes with the taste of a friend who is hard to find. (Old Jia is also a romantic ghost. I don’t know how many golden girls were ruined back then, cough cough.)
"Yes, they seem to be preparing to shoot a novel by Qiong Yao called "Outside the Window". I'm sorry, Mr. Wang, but we failed to complete the task you assigned." Manager Ma said cautiously, after all, Run Run Shaw had specifically instructed him It is still a step too late to do this well.
