Chapter 263 Counterattack from Goros
Snowflakes fell on the second day after arriving in Philadelphia, and it was Christmas Eve in ten days, and the citizens of Philadelphia were busy for the arrival of Christmas.Wang Xiaohu and Zhao Yazhi walked out of the youth hostel in the old city wearing white down jackets, and walked hand in hand in the snowy exotic streets.

Zhao Yazhi raised her head and felt the coolness of the snowflakes falling on her face, raised her hand to hold the snowflakes in her palm and said with a light smile, "Ah Hu, I haven't seen snow for a long time."

Wang Xiaohu doesn’t know if there is any record of snow in Hong Kong’s history. Anyway, he knows that most of the snow scenes shot in Hong Kong are made of artificial snow. This is the first time he has encountered snow after his rebirth. Looking at the innocent Zhao Yazhi , as if bringing him back to his previous life.

"Be careful not to catch the cold." Wang Xiaohu stepped forward and grabbed her small hand on his chest, exhaling hot air to warm him up, then he raised his hand to stop the taxi: "Go to the Independence Palace."

Every tourist who comes to Philadelphia has to stop at the Independence Palace, because it is the symbol of Philadelphia. How can I know that after getting off the bus, I didn’t see any breathtaking art masterpieces in the Independence Palace scenic area, from the value of the city and In terms of artistic level, there is no difference between this place and the kid peeing in Brussels. They are both famous, and they feel nothing but that when they see it.Wang Xiaohu curled his lips in frustration and said, "Uh, it's that simple?"

Zhao Yazhi knew what he meant, and couldn't help but sneered: "Actually, what you come here to see is the history and values ​​of the United States. To paraphrase the fashionable saying you said a while ago, what you come here to see is not the Liberty Bell, but the lonely!"

"Hehe." Wang Xiaohu rubbed his nose in embarrassment, and after accompanying Zhao Yazhi to receive free tickets to visit the inside of the Independence Palace at the souvenir shop, the two embraced and went in, admiring the city's long history and culture.

Of course, Wang Xiaohu doesn’t think that the United States, which was founded only 200 years ago, will have a long history. He just feels that foreigners are more advanced than domestic ones in maintaining historical relics. Their short history will use other famous places to add cultural characteristics, such as you You can learn about the significance and values ​​of the birth of the US Constitution at the Constitution Center. In short, the United States subtly instills the pride of being an American through these things.

While Wang Xiaohu was walking with Zhao Yazhi in Philadelphia, he was also secretly observing these scenic spots, filtering the images of "Rocky" in his mind. Behind that is the majestic palace, and in front of it is the place where the statue of Franklin Benjamin is.

This scene is very important. Every time he sees it, Wang Xiaohu always has an inexplicable excitement. In the movie, Rocky stands on the stone steps and raises his fists above his head, opening his mouth wide to declare his invincible determination. The place is even more exciting!

The law of every inspirational film creation often conveys the key theme of the film through a certain plot, a certain scene, and a certain lens that can resonate with the audience. The key!
The two walked hand in hand on Franklin Avenue from the Philadelphia City Hall. From a long distance, Wang Xiaohu saw the statue of Franklin, and then the familiar tall steps appeared in his vision. "Haha, I finally found this place!" Wang Xiaohu exclaimed excitedly, "Azhi, I finally found it, it's here, it's here!"

Seeing that he found the place he had been looking for, Zhao Yazhi was also very happy: "Is that the place you often talk about?"

"Yes!" Wang Xiaohu stopped a passerby and asked, "Man, what's the name of that place?"

The other party was about 40 years old, with long black hair, and asked tentatively after slightly frowning: "Are you Chinese?"

"Of course! You too?" Wang Xiaohu was stunned, never expecting to meet his compatriots in a foreign country.

"Hi, I'm from Hong Kong."

"Haha, we are also from Hong Kong. My name is Wang Xiaohu. What do you call me?"

"My dear Xie Dongchen." The middle-aged man introduced himself with a smile, then pointed to the big steps and said, "The place you asked about just now is the Philadelphia Museum of Art, you just came to Philadelphia, right? Here is my contact information , if you need help, just come to Chinatown and find me.”

The Chinatown that Xie Dongshen mentioned is a place where a large number of Chinese and foreign tourists gather in Philadelphia. It is the place where the Chinese have the longest activities. There are long-distance bus terminals and suburban train stations. Most tourists will start or end their journey in Chinatown. .

"Thank you. It's great to feel like a fellow countryman!" Wang Xiaohu smiled and shook hands with Xie Dongchen, then shrugged and said, "Old Xie, I still have something to do today. We will stay in Philadelphia for about a month. If I have a chance, I will I'll go find you for a few drinks."

"Haha, very welcome!" Xie Dongchen waved goodbye to the two with a smile.After this episode, Wang Xiaohu took Zhao Yazhi's hand and happily ran to the Philadelphia Museum of Art.When he came to the bottom of the steps, Wang Xiaohu stopped and said to Zhao Yazhi: "Azhi, wait for me."

Under Zhao Yazhi's puzzled eyes, Wang Xiaohu suddenly speeded up and sprinted up the steps. Yes, he was imitating the plot of Rocky's running. While running, he searched for that feeling in his mind. Rushing to the top of the steps, he imitated Rocky with clenched hands and raised his fists above his head, jumping, hopping, shouting silently, turning around and looking at the opposite Franklin statue. Standing at this height, he saw the entire Franklin Avenue , and the town hall at the end.That's the feeling, that's the visual effect!

It can be said that at this time, Wang Xiaohu has completely found the passion for filming "Rocky". After all, "Rocky" is a typical American inspirational film, and its theme is the typical American spirit. He has passed "Rocky", but it doesn't mean that he has much sense of substitution for this film, so although he finalized the shooting plan, he just distributed the script of "Rocky" to the main actors, and then tossed for two days Not ready to start filming.

On the one hand, he is giving the actors enough time to understand the script. On the other hand, he is trying to find the inspiration and passion for directing through the scenes of several scenic spots in Rocky. This is not to say that he worships foreigners or envies Americans. He just wants to make better use of this film to make money and create a legend in American film history!

An ageless classic that swept the box office of 2.2 million yuan in the United States, a legend who has been selected as the world's toughest guy by international films and so-called authoritative magazines in various countries-Sylvester Stallone!
Stallone became the world's tough guy because of Rambo in "First Blood", but if the success of "Rocky" did not give him strong self-confidence, there would be no Rambo later.How ironic it is for a Chinese to create these legends and classics. Let me tell you, Wang Xiaohu is such a person!

"Sylvester, raise your fist and protect your head tightly. Damn it, are you still a true American? Why do you have such a poor talent for boxing!" At night in the rented boxing club, Wang Xiaohu Standing under the ring and yelling at Stallone.

Stallone on the stage was frequently hit on the head by Chuck Wipner, which made Wang Xiaohu a little unacceptable, and had no choice but to scold his mother when he couldn't bear it.

Stallone corrected Wang Xiaohu's mistake with a somewhat innocent grin. He said, "Boss, I'm not a true American. In fact, I'm an Italian-American."

"Uh, no wonder "Italian Stallion" chose you as the hero." Wang Xiaohu muttered in his heart, and said with a wry smile: "Okay, show your passion in Hong Kong, this is your homeland, don't be Influenced by outside public opinion, you have to use this film to prove that you are not a coward, you are not a moth of society!"

There is only one reason for Stallone's sluggish state, that is, the news from the "Los Angeles Times" is being rebroadcasted by the media and newspapers in Philadelphia. It was nothing at first, but with the help of that bastard, Goros, things happened a lot. big change.

In an interview with the reporter, Gao Luosi said: "Hey, open your eyes and see, the director is Chinese, an oriental boy from a backward country, only 19 and a half years old, he thinks he has climbed up to Bruce Lee's The relationship will flourish, hahaha, what a stupid daydream, he, an oriental, is brazenly making movies that express the American spirit, let him go back to his hometown! This is America, and this is a country of realism!"

Then Goros broke the news to the reporter, found the poster of "Italian Stallion" shot by Stallone before, pointed to Stallone's fully exposed body and said: "See, this is an Italian stallion, neither of them is American. I really don’t know if Warner’s head will be kicked off by a donkey, and they will also be laughed out of their teeth with the East and the stallions!”

After Gao Luosi was kicked out of the crew of "Enter the Dragon" by Wang Xiaohu as an investor, he always held a grudge. When he learned that Wang Xiaohu was going to Philadelphia to film "Rocky", he finally found a chance for revenge, so he took advantage of the situation and used the media to go crazy His attack on Wang Xiaohu, even if it can't stop the filming of "Rocky", he will disgust Wang Xiaohu to death.

Wang Xiaohu's words deeply stimulated Stallone, he kept yelling in his heart, "Yes, the boss is right, I am not rubbish, I am not a moth, I want to give those who laugh at me a blow, who am I, who am I? It's the invincible Rocky!" With such surging excitement, he slammed his fist at Chuck Wipner, and with a "bang", Chuck was knocked down by Stallone's furious fist
