Chapter 298 Accelerating the Death of a Subject ([-])

As soon as the "Looking for Bruce Lee" competition ended, Golden Harvest Company immediately packaged and promoted the ten contestants who looked exactly like Bruce Lee. Finding a good script became the top priority. Under the catalysis of Wang Xiaohu, they quickly found a suitable script and placed it on In front of Zou Wenhuai and Gao Luosi were the two scripts of "Game of Death" and "New Fist of Fury".

"The script is very good, and there are still most dragon fans who don't believe that Bruce Lee is dead. As long as we cooperate well with the publicity campaign, I think the movie "Game of Death" will have a good box office!" Zou Wenhuai handed the script to Gao Luosi Check it out, of course it has been translated into English, otherwise it would be strange if Goros didn’t know a single Chinese character and could understand it.

"Good script! Let's shoot this, well, I think not only in Hong Kong, but even dragon fans all over the world have had this idea. They still can't accept the fact that Bruce Lee died. We need to shoot it as soon as possible!"

"We need to invest heavily in big productions, and we need to do a good job of publicity in Hong Kong and Hollywood. We will use "Game of Death" to make a beautiful turnaround!" Zou Wenhuai frowned and said: "Robert, we still have a batch of abandoned Concord companies. film, I feel that there are some things that can be used in "Game of Death."

"Oh?" Goros became interested: "Take me to see."

Half an hour later, Golos' piercing laughter came from the small screening room: "Quack~~God, this is simply the best day in your life, and there are more than 20 minutes of film that can be re-edited! Let That damn Tiger, look at my director level!" Robert Goros said through gritted teeth.

Zou Wenhuai said with a hint of mockery: "Robert, he is now so devastated by us that he can't protect himself. Didn't you see that he is now nestled in his own den and refuses to come out, so he is a tiger kept in a scorpion. With power, it can only scare people."

"Hahaha, your Chinese words are really ingenious. A tiger without teeth is a paper tiger!" Goros couldn't help laughing, obviously agreeing with this description.

"It's just a paper tiger. As long as we blow the wind again, it will turn into scraps of paper!" Zou Wenhuai snorted coldly, picked up the phone and brought Luo Wei into the office, threw the other scripts over and said, "Awei, which ones do you choose?" Write a script to see if there is any suitable for you to shoot."

After watching it for a long time, Luo Wei took the "New Fist of Fury" in his hand and said, "I want this!"

Zou Wenhuai immediately laughed when he saw it, which was exactly the same as his previous judgment. Both Goros and Luo Wei are well-known directors. They were all asked to quit the film crew by Wang Xiaohu for various reasons. Saying it is tantamount to slapping the face, anyone would use this method to counterattack.

So the three people who had been "forced" by Wang Xiaohu discussed the counterattack plan in the office.

"Wen Huai, I have a question." Luo Wei said hesitantly after a while.

Zou Wenhuai tapped on the table lightly, frowned and asked in puzzlement: "Isn't everything ready now? As long as you start shooting, everything is OK!"

"The problem is who we choose to be the heroine. You also know that Miao Kexiu has been signed by Xiehe, and we don't have any suitable candidates!" Luo Wei thought for a while and added: "Since we are going to shoot "New Fist of Fury" ", we have to use at least half of the actors in the original version to set off, otherwise the audience may not buy it."

"Let me think about it." Zou Wenhuai was taken aback. If Luo Wei hadn't reminded him, he really hadn't considered the seriousness of this problem. Bruce Lee was dead, and if Miao Kexiu, as the female lead, didn't show up, what kind of "New "Fist of Fury", the script clearly states: After Chen Zhen passed away, Fist of Fury was disintegrated, leaving only junior sister Lier, junior brother Xiaopang and Gao Jie.Li'er vowed to avenge her revenge, determined to revive the Fist of Fury, and wanted to go to Xu Wanlai, who owns the martial arts forces in Taiwan.
Zou Wenhuai was silent for a long while, and suddenly he had an idea and said: "Go to Yiyi to cooperate. She played opposite Bruce Lee in "Brother Tangshan". In the end, I found someone who has worked with Bruce Lee and has not been signed by Xiehe to play the role. If it is really not possible, there is no need to shoot according to the script. In short, you can deal with this matter according to your own needs."

After the script problem was solved, Golden Harvest's publicity machine began to show its power under Du Huidong's full helm. It held a press conference and spread posters widely, promoting "Game of Death" as Bruce Lee's unfinished posthumous work, which can be called "entering the international film world". The pinnacle work that greatly upgrades fist and kick fights", and "New Fist of Fury" is hyped as an anticipated masterpiece that "reproduces the power of the raptor".

This will whet the appetites of Hong Kong citizens. Golden Harvest has Bruce Lee's masterpiece, and this time, they have a joint venture with Hollywood's Warner Bros. to make a movie. "Game of Death" will be released in Hong Kong and Hollywood at the same time!For a while, Golden Harvest's popularity exploded, and a grand opening ceremony was held, and Li's TV station was invited to broadcast it, making it very lively.At the same time, Luo Wei also took the crew to Taiwan to film "New Fist of Fury". The classic movie will only be more exciting and better-looking than "Fist of Fury"!
The "infringement" lawsuit is still going on, but the lawsuit has escalated into a bickering between lawyers on both sides. Citizens no longer pay attention to this incident. They are all looking forward to the stars and the moon and waiting for the release of Golden Harvest's two new films.

Wang Xiaohu has not been idle during this period of time. He selected actors for the TV series "Fist of Fury" very low-key. In his memory, the cast of "Fist of Fury" is very luxurious, whether it is Donnie Yen, Kaohsiung, Lin Zhihao, Xiong Xinxin, Cong Shan, Yin Tianzhao, Liu Zhirong They are all well-known actors in Hong Kong, and there are many old faces in Hong Kong movies and TV dramas. In short, in the 70s that Wang Xiaohu is currently in, these actors are all children who are just learning to speak, or have not made their debut yet.

How to choose the right actors to interpret this TV series has become Wang Xiaohu's first priority.After his memory and re-creation of the script, he believes that the film can be divided into three camps, namely Jingwumen, Qing Gang, and Japan's three major actor groups. Detailed elaboration.

With the collective participation of Wang Xiaohu, Run Run Shaw and others, the cast list of "Fist of Fury" is basically confirmed.It is understandable for Wang Xiaohu to play Chen Zhen. Huo Yuanjia's candidate was determined to be Liu Jialiang. Originally, Run Run Shaw suggested that Guan Dexing should play the role. Both image and qualifications are very prominent, and he is Huo Yuanjia's best candidate.Bisheng Wang Xiaohu felt that Guan Dexing was too old and his movements were too rigid.

After doing ideological work for Run Run Shaw for half a day, he let Liu Jialiang play the role.Don't look at Liu Jialiang is young at this time (also in his 30s!) but rarely plays leading roles or supporting actors with many roles. It is very stressful to play a hero like Huo Yuanjia for the first time. He did not tell others about this This kind of pressure was brought to him by Wang Xiaohu, what happened to Huang Feihong's authentic heir?Facing Wang Xiaohu, who turned out to be the best martial arts instructor in Asia, Huang Feihong's authentic heir also felt guilty!

Liu Zhensheng has a well-known name in history. He is called "Liu Xiaozhui" by people in the Jianghu. Shaw Brothers couldn't find the best candidate, so Wang Xiaohu directly decided to let Lin Zhengying play it.Since the death of Brother Xiaolong, Lin Zhengying and Chen Huiyi, the two right-hand men of Brother Xiaolong, suddenly withered. Wang Xiaohu would not see these two depressed, so he directly invited them to the Dragon and Tiger Martial Arts Association as lecturers to teach the second batch of students how to Be an excellent martial artist and human sandbag.

There is a reason why Wang Xiaohu did this. He wants to keep Lin Zhengying by his side. As a reborn person, he knows Lin Zhengying's status in zombie movies. No one is more suitable to be a leader than Lin Zhengying, but he is not yet shooting zombie series. At that time, it became a top priority to give "Uncle Nine" a serious job.

The disciples of Fist of Fury placed second-line actors from the two major companies of Xiehe and Shaw Brothers, including those who were not yet famous like Wan Hanfei, Luo Jianhua, Wu Mengda, and Ren Dahua.Yuan Hua and Yuan Qiu were specially arranged by Wang Xiaohu as "Ye Dachang and his wife", and from now on they will be cultivating a screen husband and wife file.

There are also many roles in the Green Gang. Cai Liujin, who is both good and evil but has a heart for serving the country, is played by Shi Jian. After reading the script, Shi Jian was very happy and grateful to Wang Xiaohu: "Little Tiger, how many times did Uncle Jian shoot?" This is the first time in ten years of drama that there is such a decent character!"

Wang Xiaohu can understand this kind of mood. It is a tragedy for anyone who has been a villain for a lifetime to be stereotyped. Although Cai Liujin, played by Shi Jian, is a little different from the original Liu Guangrong in age, he believes that an old drama like Shi Jian will grasp it. Well proportioned.

Chow Yun-fat came to play Cai Liujin's son - Cai Xuefu. This is a character that the audience hates to the core. Li Zhao's outstanding performance in "Ip Man" made Wang Xiaohu not even consider letting Fa Ge play it. This kind of role can squeeze Fa Ge's potential to a greater extent, which is the best way to improve his acting skills.

In this era, only Wang Mingquan can interpret that kind of mature and charming acting skills. According to Wang Xiaohu's original intention, this role was originally played by Miao Kexiu. Unfortunately, sister Xiu's acting skills have always been fixed. In terms of innocence, he couldn't show the dusty taste Wang Xiaohu wanted, so he just let it go.
