Chapter 479 Show the Governor of Hong Kong the Script
The 1977th Academy Awards in 50 did not take place as scheduled in April. The specific reason is unknown to Wang Xiaohu, because he is very busy now, and he has to perfect the storyboard script of "Mythology" every day. Some things involve too much historical data. , It is indispensable to go to Jin Yong's house to ask for advice.

There is no way around this. Who made the Hong Kong library have fewer books about the mainland, especially books on Chinese history, which are far less abundant than those in Jin Yong's home.

For the costumes, props, weapons, etc. in "Mythology", Wang Xiaohu and Jin Yong have studied for a long time, and Wang Xiaohu learned some important information from Jin Yong.For example, the weapons of the Qin Dynasty were mainly long swords, spears, halberds, spears, bows and arrows, and Qin crossbows. The iron wares in the Qin Dynasty were very mature, but the terracotta warriors and horses used only bronze wares and only a few iron wares. This is very puzzling. , Of course, Wang Xiaohu is just to make a movie, and has not done too much in-depth research.

This is mainly to avoid cheating. The most obvious cheating scene in the original version of "Mythology" is that General Goryeo chases Princess Yushu and meets Jackie Chan with a thick rope wrapped around his waist. The weapons used are obviously made of stainless steel, and the weapons in Jackie Chan's hands are standard bronze. long sword.This kind of BUG must never appear in your own movies, otherwise it will make foreigners laugh out loud.

The second important information is that the army of the Great Qin Dynasty was divided into three parts: the capital soldiers, the county soldiers, and the border guards.According to historical records, General Meng Tian had led troops to station in Shangjun for a long time, and he belonged to the ranks of frontier guards. Obviously, Wang Xiaohu took Meng Tian as a soldier in the capital, and he was mainly in charge of Qin Shihuang's guards, which was out of date.

Wang Xiaohu couldn't help but grinned for a long time before saying something that Jin Yong couldn't understand. "No wonder you have to invent a Meng Yi, and there is still such a relationship. Meng Yi is Meng Yi, anyway, foreigners can't understand Chinese names, it's just a musical note."

Looking at it this way, General Xu who appeared behind must be the incarnation of Xu Fu.Wang Xiaohu thought about it for a while, it doesn't matter what his name is, as long as the main details don't make people jump out of criticism.

Another thing that Wang Xiaohu is more interested in is the distribution of various arms in the Qin Dynasty. As mentioned earlier, the Qin Dynasty army has three parts, and the arms are also divided into infantry (including crossbowmen), chariot soldiers, cavalry, and sailors. There are two types of light armor and heavy armor. The former has no armor and mainly uses long-range weapons such as bows and crossbows. The latter wears armor on the upper body and fights with long weapons such as spears, halberds, and daggers.

Those who wear armor and hold bows, crossbows and other weapons are called cavaliers. They are the main force of the infantry and generally play a very important role in the army.

The chariot soldiers are equipped with wooden chariots with single shaft, two wheels and four horses. Each chariot has three men, all wearing armor.

In the end, it was the cavalry that made Wang Xiaohu more entangled, because in the original version, Jackie Chan's Mengjiajun cavalry did not play a role at all. According to Wang Xiaohu's conception, at the very least, he had to shoot "Yanyun Eighteen Flying Riders, Don't Pain Like a Tiger Wind" "Smoke lift", but how did the whole "Mythology" be filmed?What impressed Wang Xiaohu the most was the horseshoe!
Yes, that’s right, it’s Jackie Chan’s war horse named Black Wind. This horse is so powerful that it can kick several people away with its hind hooves raised. There are several scenes like this in the film, which finally left Wang Xiaohu speechless Ask the heavens, Nima, is this the legendary "Unity of man and horse"?Is this the legendary war horse that was trained by the horse trainer of "Lord of the Rings" for half a year?How foolish!

Moreover, there is definitely a problem with the design of Jackie Chan holding a long sword. Everyone knows that cavalry combat pursues the principle of one inch long and one inch strong. Who can you stab to death with a long sword?Please, at least you have to carry a bow and arrow to put a few passes, or hold a spear or something to stage the most basic plot like the three heroes fighting Lu Bu.

In short, Wang Xiaohu believes that the overall strength of the Qin cavalry was ruined by Tang Jili. After reading it, foreigners will definitely shake their heads. The Qing Dynasty is only mediocre and far less powerful than the Roman Empire at the same time. The most terrible thing is to cause such a wrong hint!
Therefore, Wang Xiaohu's comprehensive modification of these war scenes must show the powerful spirit of the tiger and wolf division of the Qin Dynasty army.

Constructing these things is a waste of time and brain cells. If Wang Xiaohu hadn't caught Jin Yong as a strong man, according to his speed and perfect requirements, it wouldn't take three to five years to handle these things.In the end, Wang Xiaohu grinned and said to Jin Yong: "Old Dou, why don't you put a position of history and military adviser on the credit list?"

"What's the use of being idle?" Jin Yong rolled his eyes and said contemptuously, "You have to pay me!"

Wang Xiaohu laughed straight, "We have such a good relationship, it hurts to talk about money!"

"I have fully understood what Run Run Shaw said."

"That sentence?" Wang Xiaohu asked hurriedly.

"You are a protector, you care about your brothers and employees, and you never treat them badly. For us old bones, hehe, you want to be stingy and stingy!" Jin Yong said angrily.

"This, that old bean, what do you eat at home today?" Wang Xiaohu changed the subject embarrassingly.

"No one is cooking at home today, so if you want to eat, cook it yourself." Jin Yong said angrily, pulling out a historical document.

"Well, for the sake of your hard work, Laodou, I'll make an exception and cook another dish today." Wang Xiaohu sighed, and said pretending to be a vicissitude: "I haven't been in the kitchen for many years." Jin Yong yelled and scolded again. .

Even with the help of Jin Yong, the historical and military information of "Mythology" is still not very complete. When it entered the middle of May, Wang Xiaohu no longer wasted time on this aspect, because Jackie Chan had already designed the action design of "Police Story" Perfect and comprehensive, it was sent to Wang Xiaohu for inspection immediately.

"Not bad!" Wang Xiaohu looked at the action design plan in detail. Jackie Chan has been very attentive during this time, so that when Wang Xiaohu looked up at him after reading the plan, he found that he had panda eyes, and immediately smiled and said: "Why? So, have you experienced the hard work of being a martial arts instructor?"

Jackie Chan nodded vigorously, grinned and said: "I saw that you used to design movements for Brother Xiaolong and the others very easily. Later, when you collaborated with Big Eye in "Drunken Master", you always used the same old style. Such an innovative style of movement is very tormenting. people."

"Haha, everything is difficult at the beginning." Wang Xiaohu put the plan on the table, crossed his fingers and rested his chin, pondered for a moment and said: "After you come up with the plan, you have to pay more attention. Let Sanmao accompany you to go Find the scene, and I will call Wang Jiaxin to help you do the blasting special effects when he comes back from the United States, and”

"What else?" Jackie Chan asked with a slight frown, "I feel that I have considered everything more thoroughly."

"That's considered comprehensive? You haven't come up with the budget for the film yet! How can you shoot without money?" Wang Xiaohu pointed to Jackie Chan and said, "You, you should learn more from Sanmao how to manage the company, old pusher It will make people stupid!"

Jackie Chan blushed, and said embarrassedly: "Then, then I will go to San Mao to make a budget."

"Well, let's go." Wang Xiaohu nodded with a smile, seeing Jackie Chan growing up step by step, he felt happy in his heart.

Now that Jackie Chan has submitted the action design plan, I believe he already has a suitable stunt candidate, and the prototype of the famous "Family Class" in his previous life has taken shape.

The name Marriage Class represents the most outstanding group of stunt professionals in Hong Kong. Each of them is a one-of-a-kind elite. Their peers call them the "Flying Tigers" in martial arts, describing them as brave, courageous and omnipotent. Their appearance heralds the release of thrilling, exciting and good movies.

According to the information currently available to Wang Xiaohu, Jackie Chan has several dragon and tiger warriors who are often active around him, including Xiao Erlang, Huxing, Li Qiangquan, Lu Huiguang and others who followed him at the earliest. The edification of the training class should be that Jackie Chan is thinking about his own team.

"Hey, the Seven Little Fortune brothers are about to become full-fledged! My pressure is getting less and less!" Wang Xiaohu leaned back on the chair and stretched with emotion. After a long time, he took out an English version of "Police Story" from the drawer. "The script, after sorting out the clues, called the Hong Kong Governor's Office.

In the afternoon, Wang Xiaohu changed into a decent suit, and drove to MacLehose's private villa with the script.

"Sir MacLehose, I'm sorry to disturb your rest time." Wang Xiaohu was very polite after seeing MacLehose.

MacLehose doesn't seem to have had a good rest. Thinking about it, there have been so many disturbances in Hong Kong recently, and his life as the governor of Hong Kong is not easy, but he is quite happy about Wang Xiaohu's arrival.

"God, you finally came to me, can you understand how I feel when I see you?" MacLehose came up and patted Wang Xiaohu on the shoulder and said, "I've been waiting for you for a long time, and I thought you forgot about me It's over."

"Sorry, I actually prepared the script a long time ago. It's just that I'm too tired to see you these days, so I dare not take the liberty of disturbing you."

"You're right, I've been a bit confused during this period." MacLehose was very gentlemanly, "It's not good, now, Tiger, what are you waiting for, let me read your script."

"OK, the script is here." After walking into the living room, Wang Xiaohu presented the script with both hands, then rubbed his hands and said, "There may be some parts in the script that are not very mature. I hope Sir, you can give your valuable advice after reading it."

This is where Wang Xiaohu is shrewd. In this English version of the script, he deliberately left many loopholes. These loopholes are mainly used to test the bottom line of the Hong Kong Governor or the British government. Any comments, then shoot according to this script.

But Wang Xiaohu believes that after reading the script, the governor of Hong Kong will definitely put forward opposite opinions, and these opposite opinions are the plot of "Police Story" in the original version.
