new kung fu king

Chapter 242 Let's feed the youngsters!

A new notice was posted on the bulletin board of the Hong Kong Dragon and Tiger Martial Arts Association. Early in the morning, many dragon and tiger martial artists who came to train crowded in front of the bulletin board to watch.

Wan Hanfei and Luo Jianhua, as outstanding students of the first training session, stood at the innermost part of the crowd and read aloud to the people outside.

"Notice: Xiehe Film Company and Warner Bros. Film Company of the United States will shoot a large-scale film in October. After the agreement of the company's senior management, all actors selected for this film will be members of the union. Those who meet the following requirements in the union are required to Sign up with Li Shaonan."

"Normal in appearance, able to bear hardships and stand hard work, obey studio discipline, and those with more than two years of studio experience are preferred. Those who are hired will receive formal rehearsals uniformly, and the salary during the employment period is the same as that of Hong Kong's second-tier actors."

Luo Jianhua froze on the spot after reading aloud, and said to Wan Hanfei: "Brother, I read that right, we Xiehe are going to cooperate with a big Hollywood company this time."

"That's right, that's true. It seems that our group of students can basically show their faces in the film. Haha, it's exciting enough to be able to film with Brother Xiaolong!" Wan Hanfei suddenly laughed loudly: " What are you waiting for, brothers, let's sign up with Brother Nan!"

"Yes, go to Brother Nan to sign up!" Other trainees yelled loudly and rushed into the base, all encircling the registration place. The scene was extremely chaotic, which made Li Shaonan very troubled.Fortunately, Yuan Heping rushed over to help him out at this time: "What a mess they all look like, hurry up and line up! Anyone who doesn't line up will be kicked out of the siege."

Yuan Heping's voice is very loud. Since joining Wang Xiaohu, he has gained more and more experience. He is the coach in the entire base. He usually trains these students with Sammo Hung. In the hearts of the students, he and Sammo Hung are the devil, doing somersaults They are not allowed to stop until they vomit, otherwise they will be greeted with a whip, an absolutely old-fashioned education method, but everyone can grit their teeth and persevere, because Wang Xiaohu once said that Qi Xiaofu also survived like this back then.

"After signing up, you immediately notify the other brothers in the union. Remember that the number of places is limited. This time, only 200 actors are needed. Don't introduce any crooked melons. They don't have any real skills, and they will still be banned if they don't abide by the discipline of the set. Get rid of it, even the referrer will be removed!" Yuan Heping lectured with his hands behind his back, and at this time he had a dark face and a very dignified appearance, and the students all listened obediently in silence.

The registration work was successfully completed in less than half an hour. Yuan Heping brought all the students to the venue to start training. The training program was the movements designed by "Enter the Dragon". It was to prepare for the shooting in the isolated island martial arts field. Yuan Heping told them: Actions The routine is very simple, there are only a few karate moves, the requirement for you is to make the moves neatly and uniformly, with that kind of momentum, just don't let the Hollywood actors make jokes.

This is easy to say, but it is very difficult to do it. Forty students fought according to Yuan Heping's slogan all morning and finally managed to pass the test. Yuan Heping stomped his feet in anger, pointed at Wan Hanfei and Luo Jianhua's nose and said: " Use more force when you punch, and louder when you shout! Damn, is this opportunity rare to know? You are the first batch of trainees of our union, and you will stand in front of the camera to show your face, that's it How can you make a shot at your level, huh?" Wan Hanfei and Luo Jianhua swallowed hard.

Afterwards, these guys found out that Wang Xiaohu was talking to Winterdur in order to give everyone this chance to appear on the stage. It means that the Hong Kong film industry will have such a level, especially the extras cannot be compared with Hollywood at all.

"Tiger, you need to know that Hollywood can call well-trained extras at any time. You don't need to teach them how to bury and perform. They will perform to your satisfaction or even surprise, because some of them are majored in film and theater performances. Rookies, some are professional actors who are seeking development in Hollywood but have failed." Winterdur said worriedly: "In Hong Kong, I don't see any such institutions. You all use local methods to train actors, that is, through filming. To hone their acting skills, the extras have not received professional training, which is far from satisfying the big scene shooting of this film."

Wang Xiaohu burst out laughing after hearing the words, he pulled Winterdur's hand and said: "Well, since you have some doubts, then I must dispel your doubts immediately, otherwise you won't be able to go back to work."

Wang Xiaohu was able to think about Lao Wen so much because of Bruce Lee's face. When he drove Lao Wen to the training base, there was a uniform training voice coming from inside: "Ha!" "Hey!"

Old Wen scratched his head in puzzlement, followed Wang Xiaohu into the base in a daze, and saw forty or fifty young men training there shirtless, "Wow, Tiger, is this the scene you want me to see? The lads put on a great show, sounds like a lot of blood!"

Wang Xiaohu nodded and said: "Yes, old Wen, so I said you don't have to worry anymore, the Hong Kong film industry you knew before has become history, and our Xiehe is moving closer to the Hollywood film and television company organization, believe us, these guys Will do really well in Enter the Dragon!"

"This is just a part of what I'm showing you. Our company not only has a special training institution for extras, but also a lot of stunt teams." Wang Xiaohu said, clapping his hands here, and said to Wan Hanfei: "Bandits, go get your steel The monster drove over, opened Lao Wen's horizons, and performed well, he is a big shot in Hollywood, he might fall in love with you!"

Wan Hanfei yelled "Okay" when he heard the words, and then ran out of the base happily. After a while, there was a roar of motors outside the base. Wan Hanfei was very cool when he drove his modified motorcycle 's debut.After parking in front of Old Winter with a beautiful flick, Wan Hanfei whistled excitedly, and the motorcycle galloped out with thick smoke, performing various stunts that made everyone speechless.

"Old Wen, what do you think of this young man?" Wang Xiaohu patted Old Wen Te's shoulder and said with a smile.

"How should I describe it, God, what masters do you have under Tiger, let them all come out and let me see them, my curiosity has exploded!" Winterdur was caught by the dazzling motorcycle stunt Excited, if it weren't for his old age and frailty, he might try to ride that big guy for a few laps.

"There are many others like this, but the most amazing thing in China is not stunts, but Chinese kung fu!"

"Yes, Chinese Kungfu! Hey, Tiger, what kind of Kungfu do you think is more suitable for people my age to learn?"

"Tai Chi!" Wang Xiaohu couldn't help but blurt out: "Old Wen, you should learn from Bruce Lee. His family has Tai Chi, and his father is a master of Tai Chi."

"Really, I'm going to find Bruce right now!" Old Winter is now full of kung fu, and after walking around the base for half an hour, he couldn't wait to go to Bruce Lee to learn Tai Chi.

After Wang Xiaohu sent Old Winter away, he said to Yuan Heping, "Has the person in charge of the location set off yet?"

Yuan Heping nodded and said, "Wang Jiaxin and Zhang Yuan have already taken people to Lantau Island."

"That's good! This Sino-US co-production is very picky about location requirements. Originally, I wanted to rent Shaw's location on Lantau Island, but Brother Xiaolong said that those locations are too dilapidated and do not match the style of the film." Wang Xiaohu said here Sighing: "Hey, let them work harder, we have to complete the scene of the isolated island by the end of September, and also make the scene of the underground tunnel, grandma, there is a lot of work to do!"

In the memory of Wang Xiaohu's previous life, it took nearly four weeks to shoot the location scenes on Lantau Island. The most important factor was that the location layout was not in place, and the extras were not systematically trained. Both China and the United States were heartbroken. Brain, this also made Bruce Lee very annoyed. Now that I have prepared all these [-] days before the filming starts, I believe there will be no accidents.

After Wang Xiaohu and Yuan Heping wrote down all these things, they thought for a while and said: "Call 200 extras in place within a week, conduct intensive training according to militarized management, and make them stare wide-eyed. It's coming to Hollywood!"

Wang Xiaohu's words were very provocative. The students began to publicize their friends and family members without waiting for dinner after class. It even caused quite a stir in the circle of dragon and tiger martial artists. Just imagine who would not want to participate in a Hollywood filming Ah, who doesn't want to get the salary of a second-tier actor, so all the dragon and tiger martial artists in Hong Kong went on strike again, and they all came to the training base for interviews the next day.

For this reason, Run Run Shaw called and scolded Wang Xiaohu very angrily: "Young boy, do you even have no money to hold a press conference? As for using this method to promote new films, everyone is in the film business, you Give me some food, now it’s all over, dozens of studios here are closed, what do you say!”

"Uncle Six, I actually only want two hundred!"

"But the salary you offer is so attractive that they all come to you to try their luck!" Run Run Shaw said angrily, "Anyway, I have to get my studio up and running before noon, otherwise, I'll kill you at your door Jump off the building!"

"Uh, alright, alright, I'll make arrangements now!" Wang Xiaohu felt very wronged after hanging up the phone. He really didn't expect such a situation to happen. It seems that he should act in a low-key manner in the future. , Now maybe all colleagues in Hong Kong are scolding themselves!
