new kung fu king

Chapter 455 Dragon Shadow Reappearance
If someone studies Kung Fu movies repeatedly like Wang Xiaohu, he will definitely find that the plot of "Hong Xiguan: The New Shaolin Five Ancestors" is incoherent, and many of the actions are obviously deliberate.

Not to mention the incoherence of the plot, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the first half of "Hong Xiguan" is a well-regulated martial arts film. Even if there are funny gags in the middle, it can still make people look at it naturally. That's a standard Wang Jing-style spoof, and the audience all commented that Chen Jinnan, the chief executive of the Tiandihui, was too "condensed". This film must have been edited by black hands.

The incoherence of the plot also led to the deliberate action. Wang Xiaohu remembers that there are two particularly obvious parts. After Ning'er was shot flying, Jet Li obviously looked back and asked, lost his mind, which made Ma Ning'er, who was supposed to be at a disadvantage, take the opportunity to make a comeback. One of them was Hong Xiguan holding the explosives.

This is more or less incompatible with the character of Hong Xiguan, who has been avoiding the pursuit of officers and soldiers and has developed a super ruthless state of mind. At least Wang Xiaohu feels that Hong Xiguan in front is a ruthless killer, while Hong Xiguan in the back is a worried and indecisive "mother-in-law". .

Contradictions, too obvious contradictions.Some people might say that it was because of Hongdou's relationship that Hong Xiguan's heart changed, but this explanation is too far-fetched, at least Wang Xiaohu can't accept it.

Therefore, Wang Xiaohu's version of "Hong Xiguan" has revised all these incoherent and contradictory places.The place that should be funny is funny, and the place that should be coherent is coherent, which makes the whole film appear to be very fast-paced, and the fastest is the action.

This is the unanimous conclusion of all the actors who participated in the filming: the rhythm is dense, and the end is fast.

Even Run Run Shaw, who had just arrived on the set and watched it for less than 5 minutes, felt that whether it was Wang Xiaohu on the ground with a gun, or Jet Li half-hanging in the air, the frequency of two figures shooting out guns was too fast. If it weren't for the fact that there were four If the camera shoots from all sides, their movements cannot be captured at all according to the normal shooting method.

"CUT!" Yuan Kui picked up the loudspeaker and shouted, all the crew members breathed a sigh of relief, Yuan De, who personally supervised the master of Wias, hurriedly ordered Jet Li to be put down, and the prop master went to remove Zhou Billy's "armor".

When Zhou Billy broke free from the ugly armor, his exposed arms were red and purple, which caused the two prop masters to exclaim.Even Billy Zhou himself exclaimed in surprise.

Wang Xiaohu leaned over to take a look, be good, and hurriedly apologized: "I was too involved in the drama just now, and the shot was a bit heavy, do you want to see a doctor?"

Zhou Billy shook his head and said, "It's okay, it won't affect the shooting anyway, just rub some medicinal wine."

Wang Xiaohu patted Zhou Billy on the shoulder in embarrassment, that's why this stupid big guy is so good, he is willing to endure hardships!

Although the two steel guns are also props, they are weapons in the hands of Wang Xiaohu, who has been too involved in the drama. Fortunately, there is no vital point in the 20-second martial arts action. If it is the next 20-second martial arts action: the father and son frequently use it If the steel gun hits Ma Ning'er's head and face, if he can't control his strength, Zhou Billy will be disfigured or even seriously injured.

"Hey, I haven't made this kind of kung fu movie for two years, and I don't know how important it is to fight." Wang Xiaohu blamed himself deeply. In fact, it was all because of being too involved, but he still had to take the responsibility on his own head.

"Brother Hu, Mr. Shao is here to visit the class." Zhang Yuan walked over and said to Wang Xiaohu.

"Oh?" Wang Xiaohu handed the prop gun to Zhang Yuan, turned around and saw Run Run Shaw leaning on a cane with both hands, looking at him with a smile.

"Why is Uncle Liu in a good mood to visit the class?" Wang Xiaohu walked over quickly with a smile, but he remembered that he was very angry with Mrs. Run Run a month ago.

After the two of them walked to a quiet place, Run Run Shaw said: "Of course I came here to see if you are exhausted. I don't know why, every time I see you half exhausted on the set, I feel very comfortable!"

Wang Xiaohu's smile faltered, and he thought that you came to see me for a good show. He curled his lips and said, "Who made Xiehe Company's temple too small? If I don't take the lead to make some money, the company will be difficult to operate."

What Wang Xiaohu said was the truth. Others didn't know it, but Run Run Shaw somehow understood it.Regardless of the fact that Xiehe Company has made five or six billion US dollars in Hong Kong and the United States in the past few years, it can't stand the huge stall that Wang Xiaohu has spread.

Among other things, this year he invested close to [-] million Hong Kong dollars for "Shaking Heaven and Earth", but he just kidnapped Jet Li from the mainland. Many people, including Run Run Shaw, thought he was a brain show.

Moreover, "Star Wars" has been filmed for more than two years from the investment to the present, and no matter what, 500 million US dollars was thrown into it. Run Run Shaw heard that it is now entering the post-production stage of perfection.Another "Close Encounters of the 3rd Kind" is currently being filmed intensely, and they are all big spenders.

These are nothing. In the eyes of others, Wang Xiaohu’s most prodigal is to start the construction of Xiehe Film and Television City and Xiehe Film Academy. The investment in the premise alone is [-] billion Hong Kong dollars, and now only one-third of the construction has been completed.
Of course, these are not to say that Wang Xiaohu’s company only pays and does not return funds. Xiehe Company has established the largest distribution network in Hong Kong and even Southeast Asia, and is preparing to negotiate distribution channels with South Korea, Japan and other regions, not to mention that others have not seen it. mainland market.

It can only be said that Wang Xiaohu's ambition is too great, and the way of squandering funds is too unacceptable.

"You can earn as well as spend. Compared with you, Sixth Uncle, I'm really petty. I'm actually complacent about this achievement in the Taiwan market. Hey!"

It was rare for Run Run Shaw to sigh in self-reflection, Wang Xiaohu didn't know how to respond to the conversation all of a sudden.

"Ma Fangzong has already fed back the news. After the literary films in the Taiwan market have been impacted by us, the box office results are not very satisfactory. After recovering the cost, I believe Qiong Yao will be more cautious these days." Run Run Shaw said to himself.

"Oh? What's the result after the contact?" Wang Xiaohu raised his eyebrows. He didn't care about how the Taiwan market was sluggish. What he cared most about was the feedback about Brigitte Lin.

Run Run Shaw smiled, pointed at Wang Xiaohu and said, "I know you are most concerned about this matter, don't worry, I have already asked Hanxiang to go to Taiwan in person, and Hanxiang also agrees with you very much, and plans to meet Lin Qingxia. Only then can Brigitte Lin be determined to play Lin Daiyu or Jia Baoyu."

"Okay, as long as Brigitte Lin can be signed, I will remember the Sixth Uncle's favor."

It is a very rare opportunity for Wang Xiaohu to owe a favor. Run Run Shaw laughed and said, "You said that!"

Seeing Run Run Shaw's excited expression, Wang Xiaohu knew that he would be arrested by Uncle Liu to become a strong man in the future, and he would not be able to stop if he did not film a few TV series. In the few TV series he starred in, Wang Xiaohu is best at doing things like following the water and favor.

"What I said must mean something, Sixth Uncle don't worry!" Wang Xiaohu nodded.

After getting Wang Xiaohu's approval, Run Run Shaw felt much happier instantly.Looking at the busy crew on the set, he said enviously: "Xiao Hu, sometimes I really admire you, how do you keep them so creatively passionate?"

"Hehe, the role of leadership is like a group of sheep and a group of lions. A group of lions led by a sheep can only be soft, but a group of sheep led by a lion can be invincible." Wang Xiaohu said with a smile: "A few years ago I set an example. I rushed to the forefront, and now I am also at the forefront, the difference is that this flock of sheep is no longer those little lambs a few years ago, but they are slaughtered!"

"A flock of sheep led by a lion?" So shrewd as Run Run Shaw, he understood the true meaning of Wang Xiaohu's metaphor almost at the same time.

The development of Shaw Brothers Film Company over the years seems to be deeply rooted, but with the expansion of the industry, the factions within the company have gradually increased, and the initial cohesion has also been divided.Don't look at Run Run Shaw's busy company affairs, in fact, all he deals with are major events, and some things are actually handled by the "concubine" Fang Yat-hua.

"If Menghua hadn't helped me, I'm afraid I'd be even more tired now!" Run Run Shaw said with emotion.

Menghua is Fang Yihua's real name. When talking about Fang Yihua, Wang Xiaohu thinks of all kinds of rumors about her.

Fang Yathua's way of doing things also made TVB staff quite critical, the reason is that Fang Yathua is too ruthless in doing things, but anyone who doesn't like her will be "cut down with a knife".A staff member of the TVB news department revealed that if Fang Yat-wah didn't like the news anchor, he would be fired immediately, so that now TVB news is very unattractive in Hong Kong.

Fang Yihua is too subjective in her work and never evaluates people and things objectively. She once laid off a large number of staff in the technical department in one go, which caused quite a stir in Hong Kong.

"Should I remind Sixth Uncle?" Wang Xiaohu said in his heart. If he was talking about his ally relationship, he should remind Run Run Shaw to persuade his wife, but this is tantamount to provoking the relationship between husband and wife. Wang Xiaohu thought about it, but finally gave up. this thought.

"Uncle Liu, I'll leave Brigitte Lin to you. I'm going to film now. I've been very busy these few days. Tonight, Long Wu's girl will accompany me to find Huang Zhan to compose music for the film." Wang Xiaohu said with a smile.

"Go, go, take care of your health." Run Run Shaw waved his hand, with a kind smile on his face, showing his concern for Wang Xiaohu in a rare way.

"Attention all departments. We are going to shoot the next scene. The prop master came to put on the armor for Billy." Seeing Wang Xiaohu's return, Yuan De stood up and shouted loudly.

At the same time, in Los Angeles on the other side of the ocean, in the secret room of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's home, Bruce Lee, who had been training for four years, smashed the sandbag in front of him with a punch. He retracted his fist, carefully watched the trickling sand, and murmured Yu said: "It's been four years! I should do something about what happened back then!"
