new kung fu king

Chapter 5 Martial Arts Instruction - Sammo Hung
Yuen Biao had been busy on the set all day, and he was very tired when he came back. He still had the food box in his hand, and with an apologetic smile on his face, he said, "Ah Hu, I'm sorry, I shot a few extra scenes on the set today. It's a bit late, you're not hungry, are you?"

Wang Xiaohu stopped writing, turned around and said, "Hehe, I've been busy writing, and I haven't felt hungry yet."

Yuan Biao put down the food box, sat next to Wang Xiaohu and picked up a piece of densely written manuscript paper on the table to read, "Ah Hu, what are you writing, why are there so many words that I don't know."

Wang Xiaohu chuckled and said, "It's nothing, this is a movie script I wrote. You also know that I used to be very lazy. Now that I write so many words, it is inevitable that I sometimes forget the words. So I used some fake words instead."

It was an understatement, and Yuen Biao didn't feel the slightest doubt. He felt that the simplified characters on the manuscript paper were indeed familiar. Although it felt a little awkward, it didn't hinder him from reading, so he frowned. After reading a piece, he couldn't wait. Grabbing the second one to look at it, he was still muttering: "Tsk tsk, this script is great, just watching it makes my blood boil. If it is really going to be made into a movie, it will definitely sell well!"

Wang Xiaohu smiled and looked at Yuen Biao who was gearing up. When he looked up after reading a few manuscripts, his eyes were already full of doubts and bewilderment: "Ah Hu, don't say that you wrote this script."

Wang Xiaohu shrugged and said, "I didn't write it, did you write it?"

Yuan Biao scratched his head and said in disbelief, "It's really strange, why does it feel like you became another person after you recovered from your illness?"

Wang Xiaohu patted Yuan Biao on the shoulder and said, "A Biao, stop thinking about it. I am still me, and I am still your little junior brother Yuan Hu." He pointed to his head and said, "It's just that when I was sick, I got enlightened here. Why? So, judging from your current status as a film worker, the script of "Fist of Fury" is still good, right?"

Yuen Biao smiled wryly and said, "Ah Hu, you are getting more and more good at joking. I am some kind of film worker, that is, a dragon and tiger martial artist who was beaten on the set. I don't know when I will be able to join the big martial arts."

But Wang Xiaohu shook his head and said: "A Biao, believe me, you won't always be beaten by others, the day when our seven little blessings will come out is coming!"

What Wang Xiaohu said is not a lie, even if he is not reborn, after a few years, Sammo Hung and Jackie Chan will become new martial arts stars at the Hong Kong Film Festival. At that time, Sammo Hung will vigorously support his brothers, and Yuen Biao is the No. .1.

Yuan Biao naturally didn't understand the mystery in Wang Xiaohu's words, he just scratched his head and smirked.

"By the way, Ah Hu, senior brother Sanmao recently received a film called "The Golden Sword of Death", and there is a lack of dragon and tiger martial arts masters. Let me come back and explain to you that I will go to work tomorrow." Yuen Biao smirked and said this sentence .

Wang Xiaohu nodded when he heard the words, Sammo Hung was the first among the Seven Little Fortunes to gain a firm foothold in the film and television industry. In the early 60s, as the "big brother" of the Seven Little Fortunes, San Mao had guest starred in some movies as a child star, and he was quick-witted He also has real kung fu, so he is often borrowed and sent to the set to assist the martial artist in his work. In 1966, Sanmao participated in the action design of the classic martial arts film "The Drunk Man" directed by Hu Jinquan, a famous Shaw Brothers director. Sanmao is famous.

Now Sammo Hung has become a martial arts director after many years of hard work on the set. "The Golden Sword of Death" is the first work that Sammo Hung directed after joining Golden Harvest, so he is extra serious. Without a dragon and tiger martial arts master, he will naturally think about himself immediately. brothers and sisters.

Now that Wang Xiaohu has entrusted Yuen Biao, Jackie Chan and others to speak, his big brother will take it into his heart as a matter of course.

Yuan Biao saw Wang Xiaohu was in a daze, so he said, "Ah Hu, you just recovered. If you rush to work like this, will you be unbearable?"

Wang Xiaohu bit his lip and said, "A Biao, don't worry, now that I've made a decision, I won't shrink back like before. I will definitely go to work tomorrow."

Seeing Wang Xiaohu's affirmative tone, Yuan Biao no longer tried to persuade him.

Dinner was still two bowls of porridge. Wang Xiaohu ate very quickly. After eating, he immediately lay down on the table to do action design and rehearse the action for the camera. Yuen Biao watched for a long time. The script of "Wumen" was written by him, not an outsider's ghostwriting, so he happily took a few manuscript papers and admired them on the bed.

Early the next morning, Wang Xiaohu got up and continued to practice Wing Chun Xiao Nian Tao. As he continued to practice, he felt that he gradually regained the sense of success in his previous life. I have to say the benefits of this body.After the two had breakfast, Wang Xiaohu followed Yuan Biao and finally walked out of the simple hut.

The house that Yuen Biao rented was not very far from the set, and the two of them walked for 10 minutes to the shooting site of "The Golden Sword".At this time, the studio was busy in full swing, and Sammo Hung, as a martial arts director, was telling the main actors Zhang Yi, Shi Jun, and Han Ruyun about the action design of the next scene.

On the side of the studio, there are various shooting machines. Wang Xiaohu observes all these with great interest. Speaking of which, the Hong Kong film industry in the 70s is quietly undergoing changes. Variety.

Wang Xiaohu has studied this period of history more than once, and knows that Hong Kong audiences at this time regard it as an entertainment model, which is to provide audiences with the function of entertainment and recreation through consumption, and to understand society and life through the description of social reality in movies. The previously filmed films that deviated from social realism are nearing the end of the road, so in order to meet the audience's entertainment requirements, Hong Kong film creation must be transformed, so the new style of kung fu and martial arts films have become the mainstream of creation in this period, which is in line with the worldwide emphasis on visual stimulation. Movie trends coincide with each other.

The main description object of the new martial arts movies has also changed from the ancient sword-tip martial arts to the fist warriors of the modern Republic of China. In the history of Hong Kong movies, the movies of this period are named "Kung Fu movies", and the four and a half movies starring Bruce Lee are the most popular. The world pays attention.

Although a considerable number of films in this period were shoddy and vulgar, before Hong Kong entered the era of popular television, this type of film still basically met the needs of the audience.

Sammo Hung's first martial arts director "The Golden Sword" is among them. Wang Xiaohu doesn't have much impression of this film, but he has lost any interest in this film through his observation just now.However, he felt relieved when he thought that his current identity was to be a dragon and tiger martial artist, to work and earn money.

"A Biao, A Hu, are you two here?" Sammo Hung also gestured to the actors the main points of the fight, and walked towards Wang Xiaohu and Yuen Biao.
