new kung fu king

Chapter 496
After signing "First Blood", Wang Xiaohu felt a lot more relaxed. After returning to the company, he stuffed the novel into Stallone's hands.

"Now go home and read the whole novel, and then make a character card."

Stallone nodded obediently and said, "Oh, boss, who will adapt the script based on the novel?"

Wang Xiaohu pointed to his head and said, "Apart from me, can you count on anyone else?"

Stallone thinks so too, the company's movies over the past few years have basically been adapted by him. He is someone who even the chief screenwriter of Hollywood is jealous of. With such a treasure guarding the company, why spend money to hire others? Let's adapt the script.

"Don't think it will be easy for you." Just when Stallone was thinking wildly, Wang Xiaohu said again: "This time, it's the same as "Rocky", I still get the script outline, and you handle the script's shots."

"Who is the director?" Stallone reacted immediately and asked hastily.

"Anyway, I don't have time. George and Steven are both busy. We are the only directors in the company. Who else do you think?" Wang Xiaohu said helplessly, "Let's do it for you."

"But I screwed up Rocky II last time, and"

"Needless to say, I believe you can handle it well." Wang Xiaohu waved his hand, directly stopping Stallone from continuing to speak without confidence.He knew that when he was filming "First Blood" in his previous life, it was reported that Stallone had a disagreement with the director, and even had a big fight with the original colonel actor because of Rambo's life and death at the end of the film. Let Stallone take the lead.

In fact, Stallone is the biggest contributor to "First Blood". In addition to acting as a star, he also provided a lot of ideas about himself in the revision of the script, and acted as an assistant director.

Stallone suddenly felt that the burden on his body was heavier, he nodded vigorously and said: "Boss, I will do well, and I will definitely not disappoint your hope."

"You have said this sentence more than three times today!" Wang Xiaohu scolded with a smile: "If you don't disappear from my face again, I don't mind asking you out!"

"Hey, can't I go?" Stallone had an excited smile on his face, just as he walked to the door, he was stopped by Wang Xiaohu again.

"Sister, there is one more thing."

Wang Xiaohu frowned and thought for a while and said, "That's right, I plan to have someone come over to help you. Of course, it's just in terms of motion design, or other aspects."

"uh-huh?"

"Ah John, we met once a few years ago." Wang Xiaohu said, "Before "The Warrior's Journey" was released, we were blocked by black friends at the door of the company."

"Yes, I remembered. Let him help me?" Stallone nodded, and the appearance of John Woo appeared in his mind.

"That's right, I think he will help you design some moves." Wang Xiaohu picked up a cup of coffee on the table and took a sip, then continued: "Of course, if you need some moves such as speeding cars and jumping off cliffs The action director can communicate with Jack Chen Duo who is here this time, he is an expert in this field."

"Okay, I remember." Stallone finished speaking seriously, and then walked out of the office. He didn't go home to read the novel immediately, but found Jackie Chan, who was bored in the company, to visit with the thick novel in his arms.

As a result, there was a big communication barrier between the two of them in terms of language. After a long time of tossing, the two dragons just chatted a few nonsense such as the weather is good today, Los Angeles is very good, and Hong Kong is very good.

Wang Xiaohu is sometimes impatient, especially when he has a lot of things on his mind, he can't wait to finish the easiest things to solve. The most important thing for him right now is to write the script outline of "First Blood" Write it down.

Fortunately, the outline of the script this time is done in English, he can use a typewriter as a fast input tool, otherwise, if he is asked to write with a pen, who knows that today's time will be wasted again.

When Jackie Chan knocked on the door and came in, he happened to see Wang Xiaohu banging on the typewriter. Because the typing speed was too fast, the typewriter made a sound like "groaning in pain". I froze there for a while.

I don't know how long Jackie Chan maintained this posture. When he heard Wang Xiaohu call him, his eyes were a little sore.

"Aaron, what do you want me to do?" Wang Xiaohu took the typed "First Blood" script outline in his hand to check, and corrected a few typos in it. After all, there will always be typos in such a fast input process.

"Well, let me think about it." Jackie Chan raised his head and looked at the ceiling for a long time before he remembered what he wanted to say: "Just now a guy named Stallone came to me and talked to me for a long time, but I don't know what he said. I mean, anyway, he was quite enthusiastic."

"Ha, this guy is really active." Wang Xiaohu put the script outline on the table, looked at Jackie Chan and said, "I asked him to find you. There are several thrilling stunts in his new film. You personally contributed to "The Police" "Story" has designed actions, and has quite a lot of experience in this area, so if you have time, please help him."

"Oh." Jackie Chan scratched his head, "Ah Hu, I really want to learn English. I am very envious to see you communicating easily with those Yankees, but I can't understand anything, and the words I speak are all wrong. Pronunciation makes them frown."

"Well, this is a good sign. It seems that your trip to the United States is not fruitless." Wang Xiaohu nodded with a smile, and continued to revise his script outline.At the same time, he asked: "Apart from the language barrier, do you have nothing else to gain?"

"Yes, there are many!" Jackie Chan said while sitting in front of Wang Xiaohu's table, "Especially what happened in the Los Angeles Police Department yesterday was very exciting to me. I plan to make more films in the future that will surprise Americans."

"Huh?" Wang Xiaohu put down his pen, raised his head to look at Jackie Chan, and found that his expression was very serious, not joking, so the corners of his mouth curled up into a smile.

To be honest, Jackie Chan’s idea surprised Wang Xiaohu. It seems that letting Jackie Chan come to the United States this time is a completely correct decision. In his previous life, Jackie Chan returned to Hong Kong to design his own style after being greatly stimulated by the failure of the United States. , so that Americans can't imitate only amazing movements, so there are classic big productions such as "Who Am I" and "Red Fan District". These two movies made Jackie Chan a firm foothold in Hollywood.

Although it was more or less meant to be a guide, he didn't expect the effect to be so good. Wang Xiaohu was naturally happy for Jackie Chan.

Giving a thumbs up to Jackie Chan, Wang Xiaohu said: "Very good, very good idea. This shows that you have broken the inherent narrow thinking of Hong Kong and started to move closer to the international side. I am really happy."

"Hey." Jackie Chan was praised a few words, scratched his head with some embarrassment and said, "It's all Ah Hu, you are willing to give me such a good opportunity. Thinking about how I did something sorry to you before, I really should Spank."

"Haha, Master, have you fought? What happened in the past is over. What are you doing here?" Wang Xiaohu said, "The key is to look at the future. At the beginning, I was worried that you would not find a way to develop the company after you set up the company. Now Well, I can rest assured."

Wang Xiaohu patted Jackie Chan on the shoulder and encouraged him: "Aaron, since you have the heart, you should boldly practice it, but you must develop steadily step by step, and I will support you behind your back!"

"Thank you, Ah Hu." Jackie Chan was very moved.

On the third day after Wang Xiaohu arrived in Los Angeles, according to his original plan, he would accept the recording of the TODAY-SHOW program of New York TV. Action, so this talk show recording plan was directly canceled by Wang Xiaohu.

That is to say, during this trip to the United States, Wang Xiaohu canceled three appointments in just three days. The first item was the cancellation of the audition for the actress of "Myth". The trade union also has a big opinion on Wang Xiaohu.The second was to cancel the invitation of the San Francisco police.

Now Wang Xiaohu turned down the New York TV station's invitation because he was too busy with work. As soon as the news came out, heated discussions arose again.

Both newspapers and TV stations have heard the unanimous voice: This oriental man is too arrogant, and he does not give face to the media one after another. Does he really think he is great?They even ignored the American media!
The anger of the media is certain. Someone wrote a letter to the American conquest, strongly demanding that the arrogant oriental director be banned, but the American side just pretended not to see it, and stupid X would block such a big taxpayer. After blocking him, who will shoot Make a good movie for you to spend money to watch?You don't spend money, how can the country's consumption quota be increased?
So the U.S. government kept silent and allowed the media to mess around. Anyway, if you mess around, Wang Xiaohu didn’t do anything illegal, so you can find a good reason!
Afterwards, Jackie Chan once asked Wang Xiaohu about this matter, and Wang Xiaohu replied like this: "Even Brother Xiaolong, when he was interviewed by the American media, was made things difficult by the host. It feels humiliating to be on that kind of interview program." , these Yankees will treat you like a monkey, let you do a set of punches in front of the camera, show off Chinese Kung Fu and so on, I have millions of people on and off every minute, how can I spare time to chat with them?"

In fact, there is still a paragraph that Wang Xiaohu didn’t say later. Of course, those are the memories of his previous life. When Jackie Chan was in Hollywood, he also appeared on this kind of program. Immediately, he jumped and walked away.

This is no longer disrespecting Jackie Chan, but disrespecting the Chinese. Wang Xiaohu will not let Yankees play like monkeys.
-
The original plan was for Xiaohu to talk about Chinese Kung Fu on the talk show, but after seeing Jackie Chan's materials from that year, he rejected this idea.
