new kung fu king

Chapter 259
Wang Xiaohu spent a romantic and warm birthday with Zhao Yazhi, and returned to the company to be busy the next day. Now Xiehe Film Company is basically on the right track, and all departments are operating in an orderly manner.

After the company cooperated with Warner Bros. in the United States to film "Enter the Dragon", the biggest move was to set up two teams.In fact, there are three major teams to be precise: the script excavation team, led by Li Shaonan, Huang Baiming, Mai Jia, and Shi Tian as members. It mainly studies the script work of popular Hong Kong movies. The script of Double Star came from this group.

The other two teams are Yuan Heping and Jackie Chan, Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao.These two groups were formed under Wang Xiaohu's intentional or unintentional division of labor. These two groups mainly shoot comedy Kung Fu movies. The golden combination, Yuan Heping and Jackie Chan led the upsurge of Kung Fu comedy in the 80s. While Jackie Chan became popular, his understanding of Kung Fu movies has been improved to a higher level.

And Sammo Hung also helped his juniors one after another after he became famous. Yuen Biao was the most successful one to come to the stage. The "Miscellaneous Boy" and "Prodigal Son" he collaborated with Sammo Hung once became the best-selling movies of the year.

From this, you can see that Wang Xiaohu worked hard. It took him more than a year to promote the Seven Little Fu brothers from dragon and tiger martial arts masters to first-line actors, first-class martial arts instructors, and even directors. He used various methods to train them. Now Their theoretical knowledge and experience have reached the bottleneck period, and he allows them to practice alone at the right time.The purpose is to take over the blank period of the Bruce Lee era.

In fact, Wang Xiaohu himself also has difficulties now. The money he has invested in the Dragon and Tiger Martial Arts Union, the innovation of shooting equipment, "Warrior" and "Enter the Dragon" is no longer a small amount. The original 4000 million Hong Kong dollars is now only more than 1000 million. Such a team is already invaluable, and now he will continue to live in "poverty" for another month. As long as the overseas box office dividends of "Ip Man", "The Righteous Hero" and "The Way of the Dragon" arrive in the account, he will And even more crazy expansion plans can be launched.Moreover, he firmly believes in the truth that the greater the effort, the greater the reward. He believes that with the simultaneous release of "Warrior" and "Enter the Dragon" in the United States at the end of the year, the 50% box office results will make him speechless.

During the break at noon, Wang Xiaohu went to visit Stallone and found that this dull guy was not as boring as he imagined. Stallone’s life is very fulfilling now. He receives all kinds of training at the training base without worrying about food and clothing every day, and in the rented room at night Studying script creation, it can be said that he is very contented, and he has not suffered the slightest indifference and loneliness. Now he has become one with most Hong Kong people on the base, and can even speak a few blunt Cantonese.

"Sylvester, you will stay in Hong Kong until mid-December. I still have a lot of things to deal with here. I hope you won't be in a hurry." Wang Xiaohu said with a smile to Stallone, who was punching the sandbag crazily.

"Director, I feel that life here is no different. I am full of strength now! In the words of you Chinese: Raising soldiers for a thousand days and using them for a while, I am now in the stage of raising soldiers." Stallone punched the sandbags and stopped. Wiping off his sweat, he said, "Director, I feel like my fist is getting harder and harder. Look at this sandbag being hit by me."

Wang Xiaohu smiled slightly, put his hand an inch in front of the sandbag and said: "Boxing is a game for a big man like you, but I am only suitable for this kind of trick." As he spoke, he put his wrists together and exerted force, and the sandbag made a "crack". ” with a crisp sound, and was sent flying by his one-inch punch, which was farther than Stallone’s flying distance. The horrified Stallone widened his eyes: “Hey, director, how did you do it just now! I dare you I swear the force of that punch is two hundred pounds!"

"It's just a small skill!" Wang Xiaohu shrugged and said, "There are a lot of people like me in China."

"Mysterious oriental country!" Stallone drew a cross on his chest, ran to the sandbag and imitated Wang Xiaohu's appearance and tossed for a long time but couldn't figure it out. In the end, Wang Xiaohu told him the basic movement methods, and then he could do whatever he wanted, as long as He can become interested in the Inch Fist, and I believe it will be boring for a while.

"Do more fist push-ups when you have nothing to do. It will make your fists harder and more penetrating. Otherwise, when you shoot frozen beef, your fists will be too much!" Wang Xiaohu left the base after leaving these words .The frozen beef he just mentioned is a classic scene in "Rocky". Rocky has no money to hire human sandbags, so he can only compete with frozen beef in the freezer. It is a very passionate scene, and Stallone is almost crazy He beat the frozen beef hard, for which he paid the price of deformed hand bones.

As soon as he stepped into the company's threshold, Wang Xiaohu heard bursts of cheers coming from inside. When he entered, he saw the company's large and small employees surrounding Bruce Lee, listening to him talk about the Taiwan Golden Horse Awards.

"Guys, that scene was really amazing. I won the award and got hand cramps. Can you believe it? Just look at these trophies. This is what our Concorde company has achieved in the past year: there are Best Screenplay, Best Editing, Best Best Background Music Award, Best Plot Award, Best Color Film Art Design Award, oh, and this Special Award for Best Skills, hahaha, a total of six awards, did you know that the [-]th Golden Horse Awards has a total of ten Out of the three awards, we Xiehe won six, half of the gold content! It can be said to be a total massacre, and those reporters are going crazy." Bruce Lee said while standing in front of a pile of glittering trophies.

"When I got the first award, I was very excited. I talked a lot when I went up to accept the award, but when the second, second to sixth, I was already numb. I said thank you, then left the stage with the trophy on my shoulders, which made the host and the guests at the scene very depressed. They wanted me to say a few more words, but I really have nothing to say. If it were you, You must be right too?"

"Yes!" The employees of Xiehe responded loudly. They have seen the company achieve such brilliant results within less than a year after joining the company. How can you make them unhappy? More than other companies combined, which makes them more determined to follow the company's development.

The phrase "getting prizes and getting hand cramps" was learned from Wang Xiaohu, but what Wang Xiaohu said to Bruce Lee at the time seemed to be "counting money and getting hand cramps", it was humorous for Bruce Lee to use it to win prizes, so Wang Xiaohu clapped his hands Squeezed into the crowd and said loudly: "Brother Xiaolong, you have worked hard. On behalf of all the employees of the company, I would like to express my gratitude to you. You have suffered for us!"

"Ha, Xiaohu, did you know this a long time ago, so you hid at home and didn't go to get the prize." After seeing him, the smile on Bruce Lee's face became even more overflowing: "Come and see these trophies, they are all real materials Real guy, five of the trophies here are for you, and I only got this special award for the best skill, very good!"

The so-called special award for best skill is probably the best action design award later, and Bruce Lee won this award because of "Jing Fu Men".

Bruce Lee then said excitedly: "Things are not as bad as you imagined. Although the best director, best actor, and best actress were taken away by others, "Ip Man" and "Way of the Dragon" have all been nominated .”

"As long as I don't win the prize, I'm not interested!" Wang Xiaohu said these words very embarrassingly, which made the employees of the company admire him, "Since you like Brother Xiaolong, I will give you all these things, just to be yours." How about your birthday present?"

"Haha, really? That's the most meaningful birthday gift I've ever received in my life!" Bruce Lee was as happy as a child, holding the pile of trophies and kissing them one by one, but in the end he only picked up the one that belonged to him. My own special award for the best skills: "Xiaohu, thank you for allowing me to try such a wonderful life, this will be the most beautiful memory in my life!"

"What you said is a bit sad, I want to say that we will win more awards than this in the future." Wang Xiaohu couldn't bear his thoughtless sensationalism, put on a smile and said: "You are Taiwan Tired, I suggest that all the staff go to the restaurant for a party tonight."

"Great! I miss the atmosphere of the restaurant very much. Your second floor should continue to be expanded, and "Warriors" and "Enter the Dragon" should be added as signatures."

"You're right, I'll arrange for Yuanmei to implement it later." Wang Xiaohu said with a smile.

Bruce Lee's 32nd birthday was very simple, just a few close friends in the circle sat together, ate the dishes cooked by Wang Xiaohu himself, talked about life and ideals, and then they threw themselves into intense work.

From the evening of November 11th, Wang Xiaohu was waiting by the phone. He was waiting for an important call, a call that would make him feel sad and sad!From 30pm to 7am, he sat there without moving.

It wasn't until after 6 o'clock in the morning that the phone rang. Wang Xiaohu answered the phone calmly. After listening for a while, he hummed and hung up the phone. Then he stood up with a sad face and slowly left the house. He said briefly: "Brother Xiaolong, the old man passed away, come with me to carry the coffin."

Words fall, tears fall.

Bruce Lee stood there in a daze, as if he was recalling all the past events with Ip Man. After a long time, he raised his tear-filled face and asked, "This is the big event you want to talk about, isn't it?"

Wang Xiaohu nodded
