Chapter 32 Forced to Act as Takeshi Fujita
(Borrow a few hundred tickets from Xiaomi, let's blow up the homepage public for the third time!)
As the saying goes, good things take time, and this saying is not true at all.

As the assistant director of "Fist of Fury", Wang Xiaohu is still inexperienced, and he is learning desperately from Bruce Lee, Han Yingjie, and Hong Jinbao, and he also knows that the film still needs to be edited before the audience.

So after filming the fight scene in which Chen Zhen was forced to compete with Huo Tingen for the master of the Jingwu gymnasium, Wang Xiaohu got into Jiahe's editing room, observed the editor's operation methods, and at the same time put forward his own opinions on the action scenes. , but this time, Bruce Lee, who always listened to Wang Xiaohu's words, put forward the opposite opinion.

"Xiaohu, you are asking the editor to jump the axis to edit. This kind of editing method is not allowed in Hollywood!" Bruce Lee said loudly in Golden Harvest's editing room.

Faced with this stubborn dragon who has always insisted on his views, Wang Xiaohu rolled his eyes helplessly, then organized his words and said: "Brother Xiaolong, I know that jumping axes is not allowed in Hollywood, but I did this for a more powerful Expressing the changes in this fight, you have told me more than once that real fights in reality are ever-changing, both sides are changing at any time both in terms of physical strength and thinking.”

Bruce Lee grabbed his hair with both hands, expressing his headache for Wang Xiaohu's behavior of attacking him with his own thoughts.

In order to convince Bruce Lee, Wang Xiaohu continued to point to the machine and said, "Look, brother Xiaolong, you and Tian Jun started using panorama. , Long mirror to show your characteristics of Jeet Kune Do, and you have also talked about the origin of the development of Jeet Kune Do's alert style to the present, this panorama can fully illustrate this point."

There is a small episode in this. Some time ago, when Bruce Lee pointed out Wang Xiaohu's attacking posture, he once talked about his evolution of Jeet Kune Do's guard style.

As we all know, Bruce Lee once learned Wing Chun from the famous Wing Chun master Ip Man in Hong Kong. After arriving in the United States, Bruce Lee began to study various martial arts and fighting skills, and determined his own uniqueness. With the change of style, The starting style of Zhenfan Kung Fu has also changed, from the standard Wing Chun "asking hand" starting style in the Seattle period to the Auckland era. At this time, Jeet Kune Do has not yet formed, but the angle of the palm has changed. , still retains strong Wing Chun characteristics, but when he arrived in Los Angeles, he completely labeled Bruce Lee's own things. After the establishment of Jeet Kune Do, the guard style has also undergone essential changes. Between the front and back legs, the martial arts practitioners' legs are as light as springs.

As for whether Jet Li's version of "Jing Wu Heroes" was based on Bruce Lee's real experience when filming this set of actions, Wang Xiaohu doesn't know, and he can't go to Yuan Heping to confirm it, (Yuan Heping is still working hard on the set), but he did use this passage. Experience to convince Bruce Lee.

"Brother Xiaolong, when you were humiliated by Tian Jun's onslaught and stood up with one-handed push-ups, this scene is the moment when the essence of Jeet Kune Do has changed. Remember when you fought hard with a person in the United States It took a long time to win the victory, since then you started to think about using the simplest, most direct and most traditional fighting techniques to end the battle in an instant, and I have already narrated it through plots and actions in this film." Wang Xiaohu continued.

And Bruce Lee was also lost in thought. Yes, what Wang Xiaohu said was what Bruce Lee had personally experienced, and these actions were also expressed appropriately, especially when Wang Xiaohu completely revised the script, he had a feeling of déjà vu. To put it bluntly today, he never thought of an action, a plot that Wang Xiaohu would integrate into his own experience so carefully.

This moved Bruce Lee very much. He is a very honest person, and immediately showed a very distressed look. He hugged Wang Xiaohu with both hands, and kissed him on the forehead a few times: "Oh, I'm sorry, Xiaohu, I misunderstood your good intentions." Thank you, thank you very much!"

Wang Xiaohu was a little uncomfortable with Bruce Lee's excessive intimacy, but he knew that Bruce Lee's move had no other meaning, it was just expressing his guilt for himself and the way Westerners are used to. "It's nothing, I just want to use movies to show Chinese martial arts more perfectly."

"Yes, I blamed you wrong!" Bruce Lee shook his head and said, "Hey, Xiaohu, in order to express my apology to you, I decided to replace Chen Zhen's opponent at the end of the film with you!"

"Ah!" Wang Xiaohu closed his mouth from ear to ear in surprise, touched his nose and said, "No, brother Xiaolong, this arrangement is inappropriate, it's not fair to Yasuaki Kurata, he has been preparing for this scene for a long time!"

Yasuaki Kurata, who played the role of Fumio Funakoshi in Jet Li's version of "Fist of Fury" in 94, although Fumio Funakoshi was not included in the script revised by Wang Xiaohu, was asked by Wang Xiaohu through Bruce Lee's relationship that Golden Harvest would be filming at Shaw Brothers Yasaki Kurata borrowed a few days to play the fierce battle between Fujita Takeshi and Chen Zhenyan at the end of the film.

"No, his movements are also designed by you. Although he is from RB and has practiced karate, I feel that his current movements are not qualified enough to be my opponent." Bruce Lee shook his finger and said, "I can do it." Let Wen Huai compensate him for his salary and let him continue to film with Shaw Brothers, I believe he will be happy to get a salary for nothing."

Wang Xiaohu tilted his head and asked, "But am I worthy to be your opponent?"

Bruce Lee laughed loudly: "Of course, the hard work you have shown in recent training, this little tiger, really makes me jealous. Although you don't need to drink my special drink, you can still maintain plenty of energy. How can I recover so quickly!"

Wang Xiaohu still wanted to insist: "Well, I feel that I don't have the slightest acting skills now, this will ruin your brand!"

"NO!" Bruce Lee shook his head and said, "Don't refuse me, please, Xiaohu, I really want to test your training success. If you don't agree, I will force you to drink my special drink every day!"

Sweat began to break out on Wang Xiaohu's forehead. He never thought that Bruce Lee would use such a rogue method in order to cast himself as the biggest villain in the film, even threatening himself with the drink that made his stomach twitch. .

"Okay, Brother Xiaolong, you have won. I decided to play the role of Takeshi Fujita, but in order to ensure that I am still healthy after the filming, I think it is very necessary to purchase a valuable personal insurance." Wang Xiaohu slumped He frowned and smiled bitterly.
