Chapter 348 Blocking Hollywood Movie Invasion

Hong Kong in March was already close to 3 degrees, and the temperature was not bad. Wang Xiaohu was wearing long sleeves and a black windbreaker on his forearm. He and Sammo Hung came to the base early in the morning.

The Dragon and Tiger Martial Arts Association has trained three batches of students since its establishment last year. Among the 120 students, apart from the Four Little Dragons, there are no other martial arts stars that Wang Xiaohu is familiar with. Afterwards, Wang Xiaohu once seriously concluded that the only reason for this phenomenon is: The well-known martial arts actor Huo Wushu director he is familiar with has already learned from his master at this time, and some of them are passed down from father to son, such as Yuan's father and son, such as Cheng Gang and Cheng Xiaodong father and son.

Most of the dragon and tiger warriors who can enter the trade union are grassroots hardworking people, and Wang Xiaohu is not disappointed in this, because the original intention of this union was to improve the treatment of dragon and tiger warriors, and now it seems that the effect has been achieved. Registered martial arts masters can basically find a job on the set, and the salary issue has been adequately guaranteed, and the 120 trainees who have been trained have now become second-line actors or great martial artists in major film sets. Outstanding performers such as Luo Jianhua and Wan Hanfei Wang Xiaohu signed a contract with Xiehe Company, and the two of them played some supporting roles in "Drunken Master" and "Prodigal Boy" last year.

When the two are not filming, they will be guest coaches at the base. In addition to normal training, they will also share their experience on the set with everyone.

"Brother Hu is here!" Someone yelled, and the 40 trainees who were undergoing training all stopped their movements and greeted Wang Xiaohu in unison.

"Brother Tiger."

"Brother Bao."

Wan Hanfei and Luo Jianhua ran over, "Brother Hu, the candidate you want has been found. Currently, two of the fourth batch of students were former Muay Thai fighters, one from Thailand and one from Hong Kong." Wan Han Fei respectfully finished his report, then turned around and shouted to the four rows of students: "Yasan Klein, Luo Zhengyang come out!"

Two students, one tall and one short, trotted out of the queue, ran up to Wang Xiaohu neatly, and said with a serious expression: "Brother Hu, Brother Bao."

This posture has the aura of an army, which is also what Wang Xiaohu requested. Wang Xiaohu nodded and looked at the two people, and asked, "Which of you is Yasan Klein?"

The slightly shorter one said, "Brother Hu, it's me."

"Hehe, you are from Thailand. How many Yasang Klein do you have in Thailand?" Wang Xiaohu continued to ask with a smile.Because in his memory, Yasan Klein is a famous Muay Thai player in Thailand.He began to practice boxing with his elder brother at the age of 8, became famous at the age of 18, and was recognized as the top boxing champion in Muay Thai.And Yasan Klein is born in 85, so he is very curious about the guy with the same name in front of him.

Yasang Klein was stunned for a moment, not understanding what Wang Xiaohu meant. He frowned and thought for a long time, and then replied in not very standard Cantonese: "I seem to be the only one in our village named Yasang Klein."

"Oh." Wang Xiaohu nodded and said, "The kind of Muay Thai you learned?"

"Ancient muay thai." Yasan Klein said concisely.

"Ah Hu, this kid is good at Muay Thai. I tried it yesterday." Sammo Hung said beside him.Wang Xiaohu turned his head curiously and said with a smile, "Who will win?"

Sammo Hung curled his lips and said, "Of course it's me." Unexpectedly, as soon as the words came out, the audience let out a burst of low laughter. Seeing this, Sammo Hung immediately coughed hard twice, and the low laughter quickly disappeared, but everyone looked at him with very strange expressions. he.

Wang Xiaohu took all these into his eyes, and naturally understood that the result of the game was not what Sammo Hung said. Obviously this Yasan Klein has some skills, so he nodded at the moment and looked at his appearance. He can basically do what Ah Hu killed in the waiting room 14 years ago. The muay thai fighter guessed.

"Brother Hu, I, I have received the strictest ancient Muay Thai training since I was a child. I dreamed of spreading Muay Thai to the whole world. After watching "Jing Fu Men" by you and Brother Xiaolong, I, I ran to Hong Kong to make a living. Later, due to language barriers and other factors, I couldn't get along, and I became a dragon and tiger martial artist after being introduced by a friend. Brother Hu, you are my idol." Yasan Klein said with a blushing face excitedly.

Wang Xiaohu sighed when he heard the words, it seems that this Yasan Klein is not easy, he patted him on the shoulder and said: "Do well, if there is a chance, I will arrange you and Zhou Billy to train and realize your dream."

But Yasan Klein shook his head and said, "Brother Hu, I don't want to promote Muay Thai by playing games. I want to promote Muay Thai through movies just like Brother Xiao Long."

Wang Xiaohu couldn't help crying and laughing when he heard this, "Let's work on it slowly from the basics." The best movie to promote Muay Thai is the "Fighter" series. The two "Fighter" made Muay Thai popular all over the world, and also made Tony Jia has become a global action star. In fact, Yasan Klein's appearance is not considered handsome, but an ordinary appearance, far inferior to Tony Jia's photogenic appearance. It is a good phenomenon to have such a great dream. The problem is that you can't eat fat people with one bite. To realize your dream, you need to pay More sweat.

Wang Xiaohu decided to observe Yasan Klein for a while. If he can endure hardships and has a good character, it would be nice to help him realize his dream by the way. (That so-and-so, zh222, you haven’t been bubbling in the hardcore group for a long time recently, and all your super tricks have appeared!)
While Wang Xiaohu was thinking about something, another tall man directly introduced himself: "Brother Hu, my name is Luo Zhengyang, male, 20 years old, with a carefree personality when meeting acquaintances, narcissistic, timid, unsociable, wretched appearance, tall He is 180cm tall, slightly fat, he is old and mature, and he is very likely to attract the attention of the police in public."

As soon as this remark came out, the audience laughed again, and the muscles on Wan Hanfei's face twitched. He wished he could go up and slap Luo Zhengyang a few times, and immediately shouted with a sullen face: "Luo Zhengyang, you are making trouble again!" What a fool!" Then he immediately said cautiously to Wang Xiaohu: "Brother Hu, this kid has a brain problem, he doesn't usually act like this."

"Hehe, it seems that our students in the fourth class are very individual." Wang Xiaohu waved his hands and said, "It's okay, this way you will be energetic."

Seeing that Wang Xiaohu didn't blame himself, Luo Zhengyang smirked and said, "Brother Hu, I'm really not like this usually, but when I see you, I get nervous and speak incoherently."

Wan Hanfei whispered in his ear: "You're lucky today, but the death penalty is inevitable. I will run around the base for thirty laps later. Don't eat lunch if you don't finish the run."

"Ah, Brother Fei, don't, you will die if you run thirty laps!" Luo Zhengyang said with a bitter face.
Luo Zhengyang's skin is a bit dark, which is somewhat similar to the Muay Thai champion Ta Wang in the final group arena in "A Hu". After Wang Xiaohu watched it, he was quite satisfied with the two students. After watching the Muay Thai demonstration of the two, he found Yasang Clay's ancient muay thai foundation is indeed in place, while Luo Zhengyang learned European Muay Thai, which has the shadow of free fighting.

There are not many martial arts moves in the movie "A Hu", so Wang Xiaohu designed a few sets of moves according to the characteristics of the two. The whole morning passed quickly. After telling the two to train hard on weekdays, he and Sammo Hung rushed to TVB building.

The filming of "Fist of Fury" has come to an end at this time, and it has been going on and on for almost a year, which is considered to have created the highest record since the opening of TVB. For this reason, Wang Xiaohu is also calm, anyway, he is not at all in a hurry.

"Uncle Six, I want to borrow Michelle from your company." Wang Xiaohu said straight to the point after meeting Run Run Shaw.

"Michelle?" Run Run Shaw was taken aback, seeing Wang Xiaohu's serious expression, he seemed to realize something, "You kid has a new movie to shoot?"

Wang Xiaohu nodded, sat down and said softly: "Yes, to make a Hong Kong version of "Rocky", Michelle needs to make a cameo appearance."

"How do you want me to say hello!" Run Run Shaw frowned in frustration, "I've been wondering about one thing, "Rocky" and "Home Alone" have become big hits in Hollywood, why don't you take I came to Hong Kong for the screening, and at this time I actually want to shoot the Hong Kong version of "Rocky" by Rao Shizi."

Facing Run Run Shaw's questioning, Wang Xiaohu smiled casually, and sighed, "Uncle Liu, you should know that Hong Kong and Hollywood are quite different in terms of regional culture. It's no problem for me to move here directly for the public screening. The problem is that the audience You may not be able to understand it, and you may not be able to buy it."

"En." Run Run Shaw nodded heavily.Seeing this, Wang Xiaohu continued: "Moreover, I don't want to form a habit of showing Hollywood films in Hong Kong. Once this habit is established, Hong Kong's originally stable appreciation taste will be changed, and our Hong Kong films will also lose part of the audience. A series of chain After reacting, what we lose is not the audience, or even the entire market!"

Wang Xiaohu's remarks are not alarmist. When the Hong Kong film market was in a downturn in the previous life, the Americans used "Jurassic Park" to pry open the door of the Hong Kong film market and achieved a big hit at the box office. In the end, several major theaters in Hong Kong tasted it. Since then, Hong Kong's local film positions have been lost one after another.

This is definitely not what Wang Xiaohu wants to see. Although this event will happen in 20 years, Wang Xiaohu will not become a sinner in history. All he is doing now is doing the opposite, using the prophet in his mind Foresight, the American blockbusters were filmed first, and while sweeping the box office in North America, they also defended the last pure land of Hong Kong.

The most effective way to guard this pure land is to control the theaters. Only by firmly controlling the Hong Kong theaters in your own hands can you keep Hollywood movies out. Presenting Chinese films that amazed and recognized by Americans is still a daunting task, and it cannot be done by Wang Xiaohu alone.

Run Run Shaw tapped his fingers on the table. He thought what Wang Xiaohu said was very reasonable. He propped his chin with his hand and said, "It sounds a bit unfounded, but it is very insightful. Bruce Lee's previous Hong Kong box office record was "Voice of America" "Persisted, the Americans have made a lot of money here, and we can't let this kind of thing happen in the future."
