Chapter 225 Bruce Lee VS Kareem Abdul-Jabbar

Manager Ma's words continued to come from the phone: "According to my detailed investigation, Ms. Lin was scouted by Yang Qi, a scout from the 80s film company, before she graduated from Jinling Girls' High School. After that, Ms. Lin's family did not agree with her. Entering the film industry, Yang Qi did a lot of work with Director Song and a well-known person from Shandong, and the Lin family agreed to let him try it. Currently, the filming of "Outside the Window" is ready. Mr. Wang, you see that there are still needs Is it something you ordered?"

"Uh, thank you, Manager Ma. I don't need to do anything for the time being. If there is anything, I will call you."

"Mr. Wang, you are very kind."

Wang Xiaohu hung up the phone depressed. He never expected that someone would have discovered Brigitte Lin, the future evergreen tree, and dug it away before he could.Hey, who made me just a kung fu fan, paying too little attention to the information of female stars such as Brigitte Lin and Maggie Cheung.But even though he had very little information about Lin Qingxia, he still knew that her first film, "Outside the Window", was not released in Taiwan at that time.

"It doesn't matter, let sister Lin make a literary film first." Wang Xiaohu sighed and returned to the crowd, but found that everyone looked at him a little strangely, and some shrugged and said, "What are you doing?"

"Xiaohu, tell me the truth, who is Lin Qingxia?" Bruce Lee asked with raised eyebrows very gossip, and most of the others also had the same expression.

"A middle school student with a good temperament, I originally wanted to sign her. You also know that our Xiehe company has very few contracted female artists, so you can't work hard for Azhi alone?" Wang Xiaohu said half-truthfully.

But Bruce Lee didn't believe it easily: "Really? Why did I hear you were very angry just now? We are not outsiders. If you have other women outside, we can still keep it a secret from Angie."

"Yes, we can guarantee it!" Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Zhou Billi, Tian Jun, and Chen Jieyuan all nodded and said.

"I'll be damned if I believe you!" Wang Xiaohu rolled his eyes and said with emphasis: "I've been planning for the future of the company, Brother Xiaolong, you've made me very sad by doing this!"

"For the sake of the company, I'll forgive you first!" Bruce Lee and the others burst out laughing.

With a loud "bang", Chen Jieyuan was knocked unconscious by a basketball just as he climbed up the stairs on the fourth floor before he could react. Standing up, he was stunned by another basketball, and the basketball just hit the sandbag behind him.
While monitoring the camera, Wang Xiaohu commanded the two cameras: "Camera No. [-] tracks the trajectory of the basketball. Hey, A Yuan, why didn't you change the sandbag prop? CUT!"

"Brother Hu, I, I forgot, I'll do it right now!" Zhang Yuan responded with a smile, and hurriedly hung up the prop sandbag. This prop sandbag was specially made by Wang Xiaohu and Wang Jiaxin. There is no slight damage, but when an external force is applied, even if it is a little force, the back and bottom of the sandbag will burst open, and the sand inside will flow down accordingly, drenching Tian Jun squatting below.

In order to highlight the power of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's basketball, Wang Xiaohu asked to add a small blasting device inside the sandbag. These special effects are definitely in the leading position in the current Hong Kong film circle. However, the first innovation did not work because of Zhang Yuan's mistake. You How could Wang Xiaohu not be angry.

"Brother Hu, it's ready!" Zhang Yuan hung up the sandbags, and carefully concealed the blasting line with the hook. After the installation was completed, he made an OK gesture to Wang Xiaohu.

"Brother Xin, is the ratio of the explosives okay? I don't want our crew to make a big hit." Wang Xiaohu still asked a little worried. After all, explosives are dangerous goods. Everyone in the house will suffer.

Wang Jiaxin patted her chest and said, "Brother Hu, just rest assured. Old Wang, I'm still a bit novice at tinkering with remote controls. I'm [-]% sure about the formula of explosives."

Wang Xiaohu nodded and said, "Everyone take a rest first, Brother Xin, you explode one first, and I'll see the effect."

To put it bluntly, I am still a little worried. Wang Jiaxin also knows Wang Xiaohu's temper. In fact, he agrees with Wang Xiaohu's rigorous attitude in his heart. Only after repeated experiments to ensure that there are no problems, Wang Xiaohu is allowed to start filming. This is for everyone in the crew. Positive performance of safety and responsibility.

Wang Jiaxin carefully connected the wires to the battery, and after hearing a sound like firecrackers, the sandbags a few meters away immediately emitted small puffs of thick smoke. Parts trickle down.

"Yes, that's what I want!" Wang Xiaohu applauded and shouted: "Brother Xin did a good job, A Yuan, you can change another prop and sandbag over there."

Fortunately, Wang Jiaxin prepared three such sandbags, otherwise it would take a long time to make on-site production. This shows the experience and quality of the blasters. A good blaster (pyrotechnics) will be matched according to the different requirements of the director. Wang Jiaxin is undoubtedly the best among them who produce explosives with different proportions and different effects.

This time no NG happened again. Tian Jun was hit by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar with several basketballs, flew upside down with a basketball in his arms, and then lay straight on the ground.

"Great! Tian Jun, are you okay?" Wang Xiaohu asked with a loudspeaker.

Tian Jun gritted his teeth and stood up, threw the basketball in his arms on the ground, and began to untie the wire wrapped around his waist, saying: "It can still hold on, but the wire is tied too tightly, and my waist feels a little uncomfortable. "

"That's good, you rest for a while, later you have to reconcile with Xie Yuan as a 'dead body' here for a while, don't worry, I will never tie you up with wire again!" Wang Xiaohu said with a smile.

Wang Xiaohu arranged for the two to lie down in a very good position, close to the stairs, so that they would not block the camera when shooting. In fact, there are only a few scenes of them in the next scene, which will not affect the overall shooting. .

"Brother Xiaolong, when you rush up the stairs later, lower your head, talk about your body, and rush straight up!" Wang Xiaohu said to Bruce Lee with the script.

"Why, isn't bowing your head bowing your head and bowing your head?" Bruce Lee once had some opinions on this when he was reading the script, and he even made a big question mark here with a pen.

Wang Xiaohu said with a smile: "It may be like this for others, but you are different! When someone appears in the camera with his head bowed in a martial arts scene, it can often create a tense atmosphere, implying murderous intent!"

This classic picture has always appeared in Wang Xiaohu's mind. Not only this, but when he was fighting with Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Bruce Lee would raise his head and curl his lips before making a move or after closing his moves, always belittling the opponent and overpowering both sides This scene, just like Bruce Lee wiping his nose with his thumb, has become his signature action, which was imitated by many action actors later.

"Makeup artist, come here and patch some red and swollen wounds on Brother Xiaolong's face! By the way, Brother Xin, you can put some black paint on the soles of Jabbar's shoes later. The reporter should lighten it up, not too dark." Wang Xiaohu looked at the script and martial arts design drawings and ordered the plot. It can be said that he is the busiest person in the crew now.

Although Yuan Heping is an assistant director, he is currently assigned by Wang Xiaohu to control the No. [-] main camera, and Sammo Hung is in charge of the No. [-] camera. As for Jackie Chan, Yuen Biao and others, they are responsible for pushing the No. For Wia, in short, none of the members of the Seven Little Fortunes is idle. Wang Xiaohu is now using the director's power to hone his brothers.

Bruce Lee vacated and kicked the menacing basketball back to Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. When the basketball was kicked back, Wang Xiaohu yelled to stop, and arranged for Wang Jiaxin to immediately connect the basketball to the reclining chair Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was sitting on. You can't kick Kareem Abdul-Jabbar according to Bruce Lee's wishes. After much deliberation, it is more appropriate to use props.

The props such as fishing line can not only create the effect of props five horses splitting corpses, sometimes it can also make weapons and hidden weapons fly and hit the target according to the "predetermined trajectory". Throw it hard off-camera, and it will follow the trajectory of the fishing line and hit the target, and the lounge chair will also shatter when Kareem stands up.

All these special effects can be seen the shadow of Wang Xiaohu's painstaking efforts. During the filming process, the crew all admired Wang Xiaohu's creativity. When people are surprised, they will also shout "Oh" in their hearts: Why didn't I think of such a simple method?
After the basketball is thrown, Bruce Lee and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's subsequent fight is basically the same as the original "Game of Death", the difference is that Bruce Lee uses very little Gracie grappling here.

During the fight, Bruce Lee suddenly kicked a basketball onto Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar grabbed the ball with his fingers and slammed it back. The strong sunlight irradiates Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, which makes him feel very uncomfortable. Bruce Lee seems to have discovered the secret. Sunglasses, shattered paper windows, followed by Bruce Lee's unilateral massacre
"Phew! The filming is over!" Wang Xiaohu took a breath. The most difficult scene was finally filmed. He lay on the floor like a puddle of mud and said, "I will take a short break after lunch and continue filming the Muay Thai King in the afternoon." role."
