Chapter 251 "Enter the Dragon" Starts Filming

The shocking change at Wang Xiaohu's engagement banquet was the death of the 14K generation boss Shen Guohao. On the day of the incident, Deng Sheng, Bruce Lee, Run Run Shaw, Jin Yong and others jointly used their energy to ask everyone attending the wedding banquet to keep secrets. Those who were invited After receiving some benefits, the media reporters promised not to publish them in the newspapers, so the citizens of Hong Kong have been kept in the dark, but the underground world and the governor of Hong Kong are busy with this matter, and they are always looking at the opportunity to seek their own profits. Under the leadership of Xiang's brothers, An is also ready to move.

Wang Xiaohu didn't care about these things. Afterwards, he stayed behind closed doors at home. This incident had a great impact on him. He kept blaming himself and was very depressed. Seeing this, Zhao Yazhi also moved over to comfort him. In mid-October, the Warner Bros. "Enter the Dragon" crew arrived in Hong Kong before relief.

"We will shoot the scenes on Lantau Island first. Finishing the big scenes as soon as possible will be more helpful for our post-production." Wang Xiaohu said at the meeting of the Chinese and American film crews.

Winterdur and Paul Shearer nodded straightly after hearing this. They had communicated with three Hollywood actors after they came to Hong Kong. They were very surprised by the preparation work of Concorde during this period. The company's current working model is basically the same as that of Hollywood, and it has increased a lot of confidence in the quality of the film.

"Tiger, I have read the shooting plan, and I must emphasize one point, can we save some cumbersome processes, such as turning on the phone and worshiping God?" Some of the rituals in the circle feel unbelievable. After all, they are educated in the West, and they don't have much interest in things like turning on the power and worshiping gods.

Wang Xiaohu smiled wryly when he heard the words: "Old Wen, we Chinese have a saying that when you come to Hong Kong, you do as the Romans do. Since you have come to Hong Kong from the United States to shoot, some local customs are unavoidable. Besides, I don't think worshiping gods will take up the place. How much time, and we are ready. I hope your next question is about the quality of the film."

Winterdur hit a soft nail at the beginning and felt a little upset, but he quickly adjusted his mood, waved his hands and said helplessly: "Okay, do as the Romans do. In terms of film quality, our Warner Company advocates on-site recording, which can improve the quality of the film. Filming progress."

"I'm afraid this suggestion won't be accepted by everyone." Wang Xiaohu shrugged and said: "This is the biggest gap between us. In order to pursue the quality of the film, we all adopt post-recording. We have very professional sound engineers here. You Don't worry!" Everyone knows that Hong Kong people talk non-stop when filming, and some actors even swear and swear in order to find a feeling. It is somewhat difficult for Hong Kong people to shoot according to the script.

Furthermore, an old actor like Shi Jian has been shooting Cantonese movies for half his life. You let him speak fluent English, which obviously doesn’t show up. Most of the movies are shot in Cantonese, and in the later stage, it’s more fluent in Mandarin. The dubbing artist comes to record, although there are more procedures, the dubbing effect is still good, at least you can't hear a certain idol swearing in movies in the 70s, right?
According to Wang Xiaohu's knowledge, the most famous dubbing artist at that time was Fan Meisheng. He completed most of Chen Zhen's Mandarin in "Fist of Fury". He may not be famous, but his son made Wang Xiaohu feel like thunder- -Fan Shaohuang!
"Okay. God bless our shooting will go well." Winterdur reluctantly drew a cross on his chest, and finally chose to remain silent.He already feels a little cheated, because in Los Angeles, he felt that he and Bruce Lee were still friends, but after arriving in Hong Kong, when the film was being filmed, he found that the relationship between them had changed into a relationship between a superstar and a producer. And he also found that Bruce Lee's mood was not very high after meeting.

This point is completely different from the Bruce Lee that Winterdur knew. Based on his understanding of Bruce Lee, Bruce Lee should be very active before the filming. He would communicate on various details and put forward his own opinions on the script.But now, Bruce Lee dragged his chin and was distracted, completely absent from the meeting.

"Bruce! I want to hear your opinion!" Winterdur is alone here, and he is seeking the support of his old friends: "You are the leading actor, don't you have any suggestions of your own?"

"No, I think Xiaohu's arrangements are in place. If there is nothing else, we will start the machine tomorrow." After Li Xiaolong finished speaking lightly, he looked worried, stood up and left the meeting room first.

This abnormal behavior also attracted Wang Xiaohu's attention. During this period of time, he stayed at home and rarely communicated with Bruce Lee. Seeing his worried look, he couldn't help frowning.

After the meeting, Wang Xiaohu found Bruce Lee who was wandering in the corridor of the company. "Brother Xiaolong, what's the matter with you recently?"

"It's nothing." Bruce Lee grinned bitterly, then raised his eyebrows and said, "You have worried me for a long time. I was afraid that you would be hit because of the wedding banquet, but now it seems that you are doing well."

"Hey, if you have to face some things, you can't escape." Wang Xiaohu said with some emotion: "The machine will start tomorrow, so let's rest early tonight."

Bruce Lee nodded, and after walking a few steps, he turned around and said, "Xiaohu, the laboratory report has been mailed over from Los Angeles."

"How was the result?" Wang Xiaohu asked in a low voice after hearing the words.

Bruce Lee hesitated for a while, then shrugged and said: "The test results are normal. Those medicines are common nutritional products, but some ingredients belong to the type of stimulants, but the dosage is very small. The results given by the test sheet are very safe. .”

Safety?Wang Xiaohu frowned, "Are you sure?"

"Of course, I have an old relationship with the hospital. The test report they issued is very authoritative, and it is impossible to deceive me about this kind of thing." Bruce Lee smiled and patted him on the shoulder and said, "So, you are worrying unnecessarily. Don't worry, I did a comprehensive physical examination when testing the drugs, and the result is still very healthy."

"I want to see the physical examination report!" Wang Xiaohu said, staring into Bruce Lee's eyes.Damn it, the outside world also said that Bruce Lee had a comprehensive physical examination in Los Angeles, saying that his body was so strong that he was healthier than an 18-year-old boy, but in the end, he still died. "Is there any brain examination report?"

"Yes, of course, but are you sure you want to see it?" Bruce Lee asked with a smile.

"I must watch it. I can rest assured only after watching it." Wang Xiaohu nodded.

"Uh, but those physical examination reports will take more than ten days to be mailed. You know that those data are very troublesome, and I'm a world superstar now, those doctors don't dare to be sloppy." Bruce Lee patted Wang Xiaohu's shoulder again and said: " You don't have to worry about these things, I have my own measure, what you have to do now is to help me complete the filming of this blockbuster, and then the two of us will go to Hollywood!"

Although Bruce Lee said it very easily, Wang Xiaohu remained skeptical.But he didn't show it: "OK, Lao Wen seems to have some small opinions on us today. After all, they are all from big places, and they are used to playing the role of masters on weekdays. They will definitely not adapt to a small place like Hong Kong when they are new. Yes. If there is a conflict between me and Warner, you need to coordinate."

"No problem, let's go do it." Bruce Lee stretched his waist and said, "I'm going home to practice with Brandon now. That brat has become more and more lazy recently. I have to increase the intensity of his training!"

"Hehe, if you increase the intensity beyond the standard, I will secretly report you to the Governor of Hong Kong for child abuse."

Early the next morning, crew members from both China and the United States arrived at Lantau Island by boat. Although Warner Bros. was somewhat reluctant and thought it was a superstitious thing to worship the gods when the machine was turned on, they still kept silent and participated in the worship ceremony, especially Wang Xiaohu and Bruce Lee held After the knife cut the roast suckling pig, the charming meat aroma made the American staff move their index fingers and share the feast unceremoniously.

"Have you noticed that the director Warner sent here this time seems to be less famous than that Goros!" Sammo Hung scratched his head and whispered to Yuen Biao and others beside him.

"I know this. A few days ago, Ah Hu secretly told me that Brother Xiaolong had a lot of communication with Warner Bros. It seems that Brother Xiaolong threatened Warner Bros. with the strike and asked them not to interfere with the normal filming." Yuen Biao also whispered. talking.

Jackie Chan gritted his fists and said, "Haha, this is the first time I've seen foreigners suffer in the film crew, and we'll have a lot of fun watching it in the future."

"Look at your size!" Sammo Hung gave him a chestnut and said, "Hurry up and go with Yuan Heping to familiarize yourself with the action of the new film, this time you will play the leading role!"

Jackie Chan held his head and said aggrievedly: "Aren't you and A Biao also going to make a new movie, don't you think you are more prepared than me?"

"A Biao and I are old partners. After all, you have a lot of experience. How can you compare?" Sammo Hung snorted coldly: "Aaron, I am not warning you, the new film is your debut, you must perform well, otherwise it will be a waste Ah Hu's painstaking efforts!"

The Seven Little Fu brothers were talking about the new film, when they heard Wang Xiaohu yelling at the big lama in the distance: "Hey, what are you muttering about? Change your clothes quickly, and lead Dragon and Tiger Warrior to occupy the seat!"

"Attention all departments, the first scene of "Enter the Dragon", first time on the isolated island." After hearing Wang Xiaohu's order, two hundred dragon and tiger martial artists in white karate uniforms immediately stood up in their respective positions in an orderly manner.
