Chapter 30 The Strongest Chen Zhen in History

No one will know that the "Fist of Fury" that Wang Xiaohu is modifying now is based on the synthesis of the three previous versions. Even if Bruce Lee participated in the script creation, he only slightly modified the character of Chen Zhen. In the future, the plots and actions in Wang Xiaohu's mind are endless and inexhaustible, which also strengthens Bruce Lee's idea of ​​keeping this young man who is both a teacher and a friend by his side.

In history, not only Bruce Lee, Donnie Yen, and Jet Li played Chen Zhen, but Liang Xiaolong, Wu Yue, Chen Xiaochun and others also played the role of Chen Zhen on the screen, but they were all paler than the previous three.

In "Fist of Fury" filmed in 71, Chen Zhen is completely Bruce Lee's personal style.The characters are witty, brave, fierce and violent against the enemy, and have a strong demeanor, which inspired the pride of the Chinese people.
Released in 94, "Heroes of Fist of Fury" is a classic action film co-produced by Jet Li, Yuan Heping and Chen Jiashang.The film is a remake of Bruce Lee's "Fist of Fury", adding a few new clues and contradictions to the original simple plot, making the structure of the film fuller and the characters more distinctive. "Jing Wu Hero" can be said to be the most hearty work of Jet Li's martial arts movies. In 94, Jie Ge was also in his prime. With the cooperation with Yuan Heping, he discarded the fancy fists and embroidered legs in kung fu and tried to show the fierceness and strength in martial arts. , Fist to the flesh.

On the surface, this film is a "textbook" for kung fu movies, and the literary and drama are handled relatively well. However, Wang Xiaohu is not very satisfied with the role of Chen Zhen. Chen Zhen suddenly becomes a gentle and elegant foreign student. In particular, when Jet Li imitated Bruce Lee's demonstration of side kicks, he said such a line: "Is this kick powerful? I learned a kick in karate in RB, and I will show it to you."

It was this sentence that made Wang Xiaohu entangled. Watching martial arts action movies, Wang Xiaohu is not only watching the excitement, but also conducts in-depth analysis of the actions under specific plots. He thinks this place is not handled well, although the screenwriter wants to express that Chen Zhen is not limited. Style, containing the essence of Chinese, Japanese, and Western boxing, but Wang Xiaohu always felt that he lacked something in the soul of Jingwumen.

Of course, Wang Xiaohu did not completely deny the value of this film as a classic film. He completely removed the part of Jet Li from it, and removed the state where Chen Zhen was inspired by the martial arts competition between Fumio Funakoshi and Fumio Funakoshi. In Wang Xiaohu's version of "Fist of Fury", the role of Takeshi Fujita is retained.

What Wang Xiaohu borrowed from Donnie Yen's version was mainly the martial arts action design. Donnie Yen reinterpreted Bruce Lee's superb techniques, coupled with the creation of the atmosphere, making the martial arts tense, exciting, and crisp.The lectures and debates on martial arts really told people what is the real Chinese martial arts.

There are many classic lines and plots in the play, such as the metaphor of driftwood and huge waves, such as the discussion of the spirit of martial arts, all of which are evocative, but there is a scene that resonates most with Wang Xiaohu, that is, before Chen Zhen wants to duel with Ishii Hideaki, Zhang Dashuai said, you must win tomorrow, don't lose face to us Chinese.Chen Zhen said coldly, "The Chinese lose face by themselves, and it has nothing to do with the RB people!"

In this regard, Donnie Yen and Bruce Lee can be said to be in the same line. He really grasped the highlights of Fist of Fury, so that many people born in the 80s will think of Donnie Yen when they mention Chen Zhen.

In this way, Bruce Lee's true colors, Donnie Yen's actions are strengthened, most of the plots of "Jing Wu Heroes", the superposition of the three versions, and the strongest Chen Zhen in history was born from Wang Xiaohu's hands.

After confirming the script, Wang Xiaohu immediately trained the members of the Seven Little Fortunes such as Sammo Hung, Jackie Chan, and Yuen Biao. All the movements were laid out for "Fist of Fury". After these preparations were sufficient, the filming speed was very fast. quick.

"Hey, Xiaohu didn't expect the filming to be so smooth. It was several times faster than my filming of "Big Brother Tangshan." After filming Chen Zhen's beating up members of the Black Dragon Club while studying in RB, Bruce Lee came over with a special drink Said to Wang Xiaohu.

Wang Xiaohu just smiled innocently, thinking that all the movements have been perfectly designed, and he has trained no less than dozens of times. If the shooting is not smooth, something will go wrong.

"Xiao Hu, I've always wondered how you came up with these actions?" Bruce Lee said after taking a sip of his drink.

Wang Xiaohu scratched his nose and couldn't tell Bruce Lee that these actions were plagiarized from previous life's movies and added his own innovations, right?So he said, "Well, for this point, I still have to thank Brother Xiaolong for trusting me and giving me complete freedom of rights and imagination."

Bruce Lee nodded in thought, and after a long time he said in relief: "Yes, Jeet Kune Do is a philosophy that is unrestrained and advocating freedom. This time I hit it very smoothly! Would you like a drink to refresh you?" Bruce Lee handed the special drink to In front of Wang Xiaohu.

Wang Xiaohu stared at the drink for a long time, the corners of his mouth twitched a few times, but he shook his head and said, "Uh, what kind of drink is this white, red and yellow, it makes people feel horrible!"

Bruce Lee expressed his disappointment at Wang Xiaohu's ungratefulness, "Hey, Xiaohu is a good thing. He can quickly replenish the protein your body needs. It's the secret of my energy. Don't you really want a drink?"

"Hey, Ah Hu, don't drink it. I saw Brother Xiaolong make this drink when I was passing by just now. It is made by stirring a large piece of raw beef, a few fresh eggs, and freshly laid milk. I was disgusted when I saw it." Seeing Wang Xiaohu stretching out his hand to taste it, Yuan Hua immediately ran to him and whispered in his ear.

"Uh, really?" Wang Xiaohu asked with a strange expression.

Yuan Biao patted his chest and said, "It's absolutely true. Of course, if you want to try, I won't stop you."

Wang Xiaohu curled his lips and immediately gave up the idea of ​​trying, quickly waved his hands and said, "Brother Xiaolong, you should enjoy such a precious thing by yourself."

"Hey, it's really effective." Bruce Lee wanted to continue persuading, but Wang Xiaohu had already run away: "Yuanhua, do you want to try it?"

"Ah!" Yuan Hua was taken aback, and said falteringly: "Brother Xiaolong, I remembered, A Biao and the others just asked me to rehearse the action for the next scene, I'm leaving first."

Bruce Lee shook his head helplessly and said, "Hey, it's really strange, but it's a pity that you didn't take it orally. What a good thing." After speaking, he took another big gulp.
