new kung fu king

Chapter 423 Let Jin Yong Name His Son
The perfect combination of Chinese Kung Fu and computer special effects is the first choice for masterpieces such as "The Matrix", and "Kung Fu" starring Stephen Chow. However, the current level of computer special effects in the world is far from being achieved, even if Wang Xiaohu has "Industrial Light and Magic" under his command. do it.

Originally, Wang Xiaohu had been thinking about this idea alone, but now that he has brought it up, with the help of his two right-hand assistants, I believe there will be new sparks.However, these are not things to do right now.

The most urgent task right now is to complete the special effects of "Shattering Earth" before April 1976, so that there will be enough time and space to prepare for Wang Xiaohu's next big move.

The group stayed in Bangkok until midnight, and then returned to the set in two minibuses. The young men drank and were in a very happy mood.

There was nothing to say all night, and the work continued on the second day. During the day, the construction experts began to lay out the third scene. Wang Jiaxin also directed the Wia stunt team to cooperate with the experts. More special effects shots, such as a single sloping wall slowly collapsing into the opposite building, knocking a fleeing person from the window, etc., which involve various props, as the filming progresses, Subsequent sets will be more complicated and time-consuming.

But none of these troubled the boys of "Industrial Light and Magic". After two sets of shots, the tenacity and tacit understanding cultivated by daily practice, and the strong self-confidence brought by the first set of special effects shots yesterday, they are full of confidence He was full of energy and was sweating on the set.

In mid-December, the crew had completed the shooting of the third set of special effects shots, and Lucas was in the process of compositing the third set of shots. With the experience of the first two sets, the working speed of the Lucas special effects team has been significantly improved , Now editing is very easy, and the time required for a set of shots has also been shortened from the earliest seven days to three days.

"George, I have to rush back to Hong Kong. You know that Angel is 8 months pregnant. I'm a little worried."

Even though Wang Xiaohu is in Thailand, he is worried about Zhao Yazhi and his children every day. Now that his work is on the right track, he must go back to Hong Kong to have a look.

In the editing room, Wang Xiaohu said to George Lucas, who was busy with his head, "So, the matter here needs you and Steven to preside over it."

"OK, Tiger, don't worry!" Lucas raised his head and said to Wang Xiaohu with a smile, "With Steven and I watching, these guys won't be lazy."

"Well. I believe you will do well." Wang Xiaohu handed over a piece of paper, "This is the contact information of Muay Thai King Nai Buddha. If you encounter any trouble while I am away, you can call him. I have already I explained it to him."

"Tiger, you know we have forty young lads here, and each of them has learned Chinese Kungfu from you for a month!" Lukas couldn't help asking Wing Chun as he looked worried. He gestured with his hands a few times, "Look, I can deal with a few big black men."

"Hehe." Wang Xiaohu shook his head with a wry smile, this old Lu is really humorous sometimes.

New Year’s Day is about to enter, and the four major satellite companies of Concorde have already released films from three companies successively. "Seven Little Fortunes" did not do well at the box office but set a box office record for Hong Kong literary films. "Lin Shirong" directly turned Sammo Hung into a comeback. It is the first time to play the leading role, and the little people in the market are well portrayed. Although it is not as humorous as Jackie Chan and Yuen Biao, it should be accepted by Hong Kong audiences. It won the box office of 730 million Hong Kong dollars in one fell swoop. .

When he returned to Hong Kong, the Xu brothers' "Half a Catty" was scheduled to be screened. As soon as Wang Xiaohu walked into the house and hadn't had a few warm words with Zhao Yazhi, Huang Baiming, one of the three giants of New Art City, chased him in.

"Master, I want to discuss something with you." Huang Baiming said with some embarrassment.

"Tell me, what's the matter." Wang Xiaohu frowned slightly, thinking that these guys didn't poke something to ask him to help wipe his butt, right?

"Can you postpone the release of "Best Partner"?" After Huang Baiming finished speaking, he quickly lowered his head for fear of Wang Xiaohu's scolding.

Wang Xiaohu thought for a while, and soon realized what Huang Baiming meant, so he smiled and said, "Do you want to stagger the release date of "Half a Catty"?"

"That's right, both films are comedies, so I'm afraid that New Art City's entrepreneurial work will be affected. After all, we are a small company, and Xu's is now a big company." Huang Baiming explained seriously: "Taking a pebble against a rock is a bit reckless. If we can stagger the schedule and wait two months after they fall, that is, if they are released in March next year, the box office results will not be too bad."

"Hehe. That's fine. I don't see that you have a lot of ideas." Wang Xiaohu nodded approvingly and said, "Other companies are anxious to release their films to get back the cost, but you guys are thinking about the long-term. .”

Huang Baiming smiled embarrassedly: "As long as the master doesn't misunderstand that we have no guts." Huang Baiming's worries are not unreasonable. Back then, Wang Xiaohu strictly demanded them in the script, making them all three giants frightened. Now that the film is about to be released, it is imperative to seek Master's opinion on distribution.

"I know about this matter. If you postpone it, please postpone it. After all, it is an entrepreneurial work. I am very satisfied that you can consider it so comprehensively. This shows that you are growing up, and the operation of the film is developing in a mature direction."

Wang Xiaohu was really relieved that the Big Three had been apprentices by his side for more than two years, and through his subtle influence in some aspects, they had grown up now, which was already a good sign.Maybe they will be influenced by the Xu brothers for a while, but with their rise, I believe New Art City will form its own influence in the Hong Kong film industry.

But what is certain is that the box office of the first episode of "Best Partner" will definitely not make history, because this was in 75, not the 80s.

That afternoon, Wang Xiaohu drove Zhao Yazhi to Mount Elizabeth Hospital for a comprehensive examination. After hearing that Zhao Yazhi was pregnant with a son, Wang Xiaohu jumped up and down happily.

"Look, I make you happy." Even though Zhao Yazhi said this, she was also very happy in her heart.

"Hey, my Wang Xiaohu is going to have a son, and the Wang family finally has someone to succeed!" Wang Xiaohu happily helped Zhao Yazhi down the stairs, his movements were extra careful and gentle.

"Since we all know it's a son, have you thought of a name for your father?" Zhao Yazhi asked softly.

"I haven't made up my mind yet. Go back and buy a copy of Cihai and look through it to see what name is suitable. Besides, my son will not be born in two months. Why worry?"

"If you don't want to call it Wang Leehom, Wang Guangliang is also good." Zhao Yazhi still felt that Long Zichen's name was very good, so she couldn't help mentioning it again.

"Definitely not!" Wang Xiaohu shook his head vigorously and said, "I entrusted Deng Sheng to check, and these two names have been taken by someone. I can't let our son have the same name as someone else."

"There are a lot of people with the same name in the world, right? Can you guarantee that you are the only one in Hong Kong?" Zhao Yazhi was extremely dissatisfied with her words, she curled her lips and rolled her husband's eyes and said, "If you think these two names are not good , then you must find a name that sounds better than these two, otherwise, I will let my son be called Wang Leehom!"

"." Wang Xiaohu looked at his wife who was a bit petty, nodded his head with great difficulty and said, "Okay, I will definitely do a good job in this matter!"

What an international joke, although Wang Leehom's name sounds nice, it is taking advantage of Wang Leehom. He doesn't want his son to have the same name as the future singer, and it's better to call his son "Prince" than to have the same name. Famous celebrities will bring pressure to the son, which is not good for the son's growth.

"The girl Long Wu started this matter, and I have to find her to solve it." After sending his wife home, Wang Xiaohu quickly thought of Long Zichen, so he picked up the phone and called her.

The phone number left by Long Zichen is from Lifeng Records, and she is not working at the company for this matter. The secretary told Wang Xiaohu: Mr. Long and Teresa Teng are going to participate in an event, and they won't be back until evening.

Well, Miss Long is still very busy now.Wang Xiaohu sighed, picked up the phone and called Run Run Shaw again: "Hello, Uncle Six, I'm Xiaohu, um, it's already entered the normal stage, I'm calling you today for another matter."

Wang Xiaohu told Run Run Shaw about the naming, and Run Run Shaw answered simply on the phone: "How simple this matter is, just find a gentleman who understands Zhouyi to help name it?"

"Is this thing okay?" Wang Xiaohu was puzzled, and there was a kind of resistance to Zhou Yi in his bones.

"This thing pays attention to the date of birth. Your son hasn't been born yet, so why worry!" Run Run Shaw blamed him in an elder tone.

"Damn, Sixth Uncle can't be in a hurry now, isn't my son your grandson? You, a grandfather, must help out!" Wang Xiaohu simply played a rogue.

"Hey, I love to hear that!" Run Run Shaw was immediately happy on the phone: "Don't worry, I'll call Jin Yong, he is the best at naming things."

Wang Xiaohu beat his brains and scolded himself dizzy, and even forgot about Jin Yong, an awesome character. He believed that based on Jin Yong's research on Chinese studies, history, Zhouyi, etc., naming his son would be a piece of cake.Before Run Run Shaw could finish speaking, he immediately hung up the phone, and called Jin Yong again: "Hello, Mr. Cha, I'm Xiaohu, yes yes yes, I want to trouble you with something."

(Well, on the issue of the names of Wang Xiaohu and Zhao Yazhi’s sons, group 1, group 2, and hardcore groups have exploded, and the discussion is so dark that all the names pop up, which makes me crazy with a headache , After sorting out, the names are as follows: Wang Xudong, Wang Yinuo, Wang Chunyu, Wang Chongyang, the last one can be ignored, everyone chooses among the first three.)
