Chapter 243 The Three Giants of New Art City
Winterdur and others stayed in Hong Kong for another three days. During the three days, he carried out various preparations for the cooperative shooting on behalf of Warner and Concorde, and then brought three copies of the film produced by Concorde, and Paul Hiller got on the flight to the United States, and as for Goros, he went back early.

That afternoon, Xiehe Company held its first internal meeting. In fact, despite Wang Xiaohu's efforts, Xiehe Company is not yet a complete film and television company. The idea of ​​the lineup is too far apart.

Most of the company's organizations are newcomers, and there are no other familiar faces besides Qi Xiaofu and Yuan Heping, let alone the director. In the 70s, the Hong Kong film industry was still short of directors, even more so than actors. Many big directors were attached to Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest. For example, Zhang Che, Hu Jinquan, Li Hanxiang and others firmly occupied Shaw Brothers. status, and Golden Harvest has become extremely weak since Wang Xiaohu and Bruce Lee left.

Wang Xiaohu mentioned these disadvantages to Bruce Lee more than once, but Bruce Lee was born to be a good fortune to throw away the shopkeeper. He never asked about the operation of the company. He only cared about whether there were new scripts. Supported by Wang Xiaohu.

"Let's talk about the first thing first. The Hong Kong actors who participated in the performance include Shi Jian, Zhong Lingling, Mao Ying, Yang Si, Hong Jinbao, Jackie Chan, Yuan Hua, and Yuen Biao." Wang Xiaohu said with the shooting plan: "The list mentioned The actors who arrive must be summoned for training as soon as possible, and Uncle Jian will be invited by Brother Xiaolong."

Shi Jian, formerly known as Shi Rongzhang, nicknamed "Traitor Jian", is a veteran villain in Cantonese movies. He often plays the villain role in Huang Feihong movies starring Kwan Tak-hing.And his most familiar image to mainland audiences is naturally the twin brothers Qiu Qianren and Qiu Qianzhang in the 83 edition of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" in Wang Xiaohu's memory.

The role of "Mr. Han" was played by Shi Jianlai and received strong support from Bruce Lee. After reading the script, he recommended Shi Jian to play the role. Wang Xiaohu did not raise any objections. After all, it has been repeated in history. The performances in the film are quite satisfactory, and the interpretation of the northern martial arts is also wonderful.

It's just that since Wang Xiaohu designed the martial arts action, the martial arts scenes in "Enter the Dragon" must be improved a few levels, at least it must have the style of Hong Kong martial arts in the 90s to pass the test.

"The second thing is very important. This time I will co-produce a film for Warner. I hope that everyone can correct their mentality and seize this good opportunity to learn more from those Yankees. After all, our Hong Kong films still have many shortcomings. Don't hold them all day long. The idea of ​​being a monk hitting the clock for a day will never make progress!" Wang Xiaohu said these words to Qi Xiaofu and Yuan Heping, after all, the company does not have many directors, and now Yuan Heping has qualified for the position of assistant director. And Sammo Hung is barely able to be an assistant director, but there are still a lot of things that need to be tempered, so it can be regarded as the key training object of the company.

Since the talent resources in the 70s were limited, Wang Xiaohu had to cultivate and cultivate by himself, otherwise Hong Kong films would not be able to develop in an all-round way by themselves. He is very clear about this, and what he has to do is to be a leader Hong Kong cinema is developing on the good side.

"Wang Jiaxin, how far is the location on Lantau Island going?" After Wang Xiaohu said two things to note, he began to investigate the shooting of the location.

When Wang Jiaxin heard Wang Xiaohu call her name, she immediately straightened her back and replied meticulously: "Currently, one-third of the construction of the exterior scene has been completed, and the interior scene of the underground secret room is under construction. The basic progress is within the scope of the plan. There are currently no drawings for the room, and we don’t know how to arrange the dozens of mirrors we bought.”

Wang Xiaohu tapped his chin on the table with a pen. This fantasy secret room can be said to be a highlight of "Enter the Dragon", and it is also a necessary link for Bruce Lee to interpret the ultimate mystery of Jeet Kune Do.

When Bruce Lee chased after "Mr. Han" played by Shi Jian in the film with a mentality of revenge, broke into the mirror room surrounded by standing mirrors, and was plotted against because of the many figures and indisputable authenticity, he could not help but recall the Shaolin master once The master said: "The enemy is a phantom, and the real enemy hides behind it. As long as you destroy the phantom of the enemy, you can destroy the real body of the enemy."

This scene must be strictly checked. After thinking about it, Wang Xiaohu said: "The specific installation and display methods are agreed on site. The final requirement is that there are countless figures standing in front of the mirror. It only needs to meet the shooting requirements. Remember it when you are done. Call me to check it out."

"Oh, there is one more thing, is the remote camera elevator fixed?" Wang Xiaohu has been thinking about this matter. After all, this kind of big scene shooting requires many angles to complete. After the completion, he asked Wang Jiaxin and others to complete the research and development work as soon as possible.

Wang Jiaxin is also a bachelor. He received a fee of [-] Hong Kong dollars from Wang Xiaohu, and introduced a few friends of his own who are engaged in remote control devices. In this way, a special shooting machine invention team has been established. He is mainly working on these problems now. As for the drama management Zhang Yuan has been fully responsible for the matter, and he is only responsible for supervising the speed and quality of the work every day. "After [-] failures, the research and development of the remote-controlled camera lift has been completed. Currently, two sets have been formed, and the third one is being processed in the workshop."

"Very good. After the meeting, you can ask me to get a new blueprint, which is probably the idea of ​​reducing and simplifying the camera. If the number of people is not enough, you can continue to recruit talents in this field. I will give you a certain amount of financial support." Wang Xiaohu nodded and said.As for the miniature version of the camera, it is actually a portable camera, but the current portable camera in Hong Kong is very heavy, and the length of the film is not enough. His request is to transform the portable camera, if it can be transformed into the 21st century. The DV machine is naturally good, but it is obviously impossible to achieve it with the current technology. He just requires a lighter weight, and the shooting time and quality can be improved.

"Those who have lines study the script carefully these few days, and those who don't have lines should hurry up and rehearse the action! Well, I have nothing to ask, Brother Xiaolong, do you have anything to do here?"

Bruce Lee shrugged with a smile and said: "You have already taken care of the big things, I just want to ask: who will play my sister?"

"Uh~" Wang Xiaohu was so embarrassed that he forgot this big question.Anyone who has watched "Enter the Dragon" knows that one of the reasons why Bruce Lee rushed to the island was to save his sister, but the sister was insulted by Ogada and others, forcing his sister to commit suicide, so he still participated in the contest.As far as Wang Xiaohu knew, the role of the younger sister was not in the script list at first, because Bruce Lee had a bad temper, and the crew had to ask Linda to go to the Lantau Island set to persuade Bruce Lee, so the crew added a scene, and Linda was in the film Cameo played the role of Lee's sister.

"Linda." Wang Xiaohu said with a smile, "I think she should be competent."

Bruce Lee frowned and said puzzledly: "Why, her acting skills are terrible."

is it bad?I don't think so, it seems that Linda's fists and kicks are not bad, and her performance is also very good. "As an investor, you have to consider saving costs. Just use Linda, she will be very happy to hear."

"Damn it, you go talk about it." Bruce Lee curled his lips depressed.

"It's nothing for me to talk about." Wang Xiaohu shrugged, then tapped on the desktop and said, "I will go to the United States with Brother Xiaolong in a week to participate in the selection of American actors organized by Warner. Do it."

After the meeting, everyone was busy with their own affairs. Li Shaonan made the minutes of the meeting and went to Wang Xiaohu's office. "Master, my friends are already here, when do you plan to meet them?"

Wang Xiaohu closed the minutes of the meeting, rubbed his temples and said, "How many people are there?"

"Three."

"Then let's do it now! Later I have to go to Gu Jiahui to discuss the background music of the film." Wang Xiaohu's time is very tight now, and he won't delay until tomorrow if he can solve the problem as soon as possible.

Half a minute later, Li Shaonan walked into the office with three people.

"Hello, Master!" The three of them should have gotten a hint from Li Shaonan, and the first thing they said after entering the door was to say hello to Wang Xiaohu, for fear that Wang Xiaohu would not want them to mention the name "Master" first.

Wang Xiaohu raised his head, dumbfounded, and looked at the three people in front of him. After just one glance, his eyebrows twitched involuntarily, because the three people in front of him looked familiar!
The long-haired one on the left looks a bit mature, and his appearance is not very outstanding, and he is looking at himself with a smile.The one in the middle is the most conspicuous, with a shiny bald head, and the smile on his face makes Wang Xiaohu feel a little strange, and the one on the right, yes, has a pair of big glasses hanging on his face.

The images of the three people made Wang Xiaohu feel very familiar. He felt that these three people should have starred in classic Hong Kong movies, but he couldn't remember them for a while, maybe their current appearance was somewhat different from the movies.So he coughed and asked, "You are all Shaonan's friends."

"Yes, Master." The three of them answered in unison, with a tacit understanding.

Wang Xiaohu found it very interesting, and said with a smile, "What's your name?"

"Master, my name is Shi Tian, ​​the bald man is Mai Jia, and the man with glasses is Huang Baiming."

"I'm a jerk! I'm so lucky today, I can meet the three giants of New Art City at any time!" Wang Xiaohu swallowed a mouthful of saliva to calm himself down, but the expression on his face was astonished, very Obviously, he was startled!
