new kung fu king

Chapter 59 Is it wild words or bold words?

As soon as Wang Xiaohu finished speaking, the camera sound of "click, click" stopped immediately, and the entire Golden Harvest meeting room fell silent. Everyone stared at Wang Xiaohu in a daze, wondering why the youngest director in Hong Kong uttered such arrogant words !

Wang Xiaohu quickly noticed this embarrassing atmosphere, he scolded himself in his heart for being stupid, the huge success of "Fist of Fury" today seemed to make him a little dizzy and ecstatic, and he even got a 2. In front of this group of paparazzi seniors who are best at making things out of nothing, they said a lot of complaints.

But from another point of view, what I said is the truth. There is such a strange phenomenon in the current Hong Kong film industry. Those who can play can’t be the protagonist because of their appearance or temperament, and those who can play the protagonist can’t fight. If you have to use the dragon and tiger martial artist as a stand-in, looking through the martial arts movies of this period, which one is not the protagonist's fist is so far away from the minions, and the minions fly out with a ouch?To put it bluntly, this is to follow the trend and imitate the trend. To put it bluntly, this is the spirit of the citizens in QJ Hong Kong.

In addition, I was born as a double in my previous life, and I had to go through a lot of pain to get the chance to be a villain. If I hadn't been reborn in Hong Kong due to shit luck, I would probably still be a good person. The hardships during the period are self-evident .It is precisely these thoughts in my heart, coupled with my excitement today, that I speak without thinking.

"Excuse me, Director Wang, are your remarks indirectly expressing your dissatisfaction with the current Hong Kong film industry?" The reporter is not a fool, and soon realized the value of gossip, and threw out a hot potato while the iron was hot.

Wang Xiaohu adjusted his mentality slightly, and when he spoke again, his tone was very peaceful. "No, I don't have the slightest dissatisfaction with the Hong Kong film industry. The current brilliant achievements of Hong Kong films are inseparable from all those who have contributed to the Hong Kong film industry. In fact, you can understand what you said just now. If If your film wants to leave a deep impression on the audience, it must be reformed, whether it is from the shooting technique or the motivation of the action design, it should be reformed, otherwise Hong Kong films will fall into a vicious circle of repeated repetitions. The audience is not a fool. Sooner or later they will have aesthetic fatigue."

Seeing that everyone was listening to his speech carefully, Wang Xiaohu continued: "I believe everyone has watched "Fist of Fury" tonight, how do you feel?"

"The martial arts scene is very real!" The reporter blurted out.

Wang Xiaohu said with a smile: "You are right. Our martial arts scenes focus on reality, so that everyone looks cool, but why do people watch it realistically? This is what we as filmmakers need to consider."

"Take "Fist of Fury" as an example. At the beginning of filming, we abandoned the old-fashioned action design concept, and conducted centralized and closed professional training for all dragon and tiger martial artists participating in the performance, so that they all participated in script research. , Martial arts, so that it is not the lead actors and supporting actors who are shooting this film, but teamwork and teamwork, and we use the latest props, so everyone can see such a real picture.”

Wang Xiaohu went on to say: "We are just trying this time, but we are very lucky. The results of "Fist of Fury" tonight are believed to cause a sensation in Hong Kong and even Asia. Next, we will continue to innovate more boldly and strive to expand Hong Kong martial arts and kung fu films lead a brand new path!"

After Wang Xiaohu said these words, he rubbed his nose. He wondered if these reporters would take them out of context. If they really wanted to, hehe, then he offended the entire Hong Kong film industry this time. I don’t know if Wang Yu , Cao Dahua, and Hu Feng, who rely on real kung fu, how would they feel?

Everyone in the conference room was lost in thought. The reporters were thinking about how to dig out more news value from Wang Xiaohu's words without offending Jiahe.

On the other side of the meeting room, those Golden Harvest directors, screenwriters, and martial arts instructors who were invited by Zou Wenhuai to attend the premiere all frowned and savored the innovative technique described in Wang Xiaohu's words.

Before Bruce Lee signed with Golden Harvest, they were the backbone of Golden Harvest, and the films they made could be said to be blockbusters. But after the appearance of "Big Brother Tangshan", they knew that Kung Fu movies could be made like this, but they didn't feel it. Panic, because the success of "Big Brother Tangshan" only depends on Bruce Lee, other action design and so on are advancing according to the old Hong Kong routine.

In less than two months, an 18-year-old guy named Wang Xiaohu came out, and with a "Jing Fu Men" that subverted the concept of martial arts action design in Hong Kong, he completely knocked out all kinds of questioning voices. Bad luck, they thought this kid was lucky, he climbed onto Bruce Lee's big boat, and attributed all the credit to Bruce Lee. They didn't expect this kid to speak out a big truth again tonight, and this group of backbones knew Well, the smallness of the family does not mean that the ideas are naive, they still have real talents.

So the key members put away the contempt in their hearts, and decided to take some time to have an in-depth exchange with this young director.

When everyone was thinking, Bruce Lee suddenly took the lead in applauding, and everyone came to their senses. They were surprised that this 18-year-old director could speak such a thoughtful topic, and more admired.

The next day, major media outlets in Hong Kong scrambled to publish such news on the front page:
"Fist of Fury" made a major breakthrough, thanks to the young director!

The epoch-making "Fist of Fury" made Bruce Lee a hero in the hearts of Chinese people all over the world.

The release of "Fist of Fury" was unprecedentedly grand, and the box office of the premiere that night exceeded 50.

"As long as you are patriotic, you are Chen Zhen!" The 18-year-old director boasted that he wanted to lead Hong Kong martial arts action movies.

Hong Kong's "New Star Daily" pointed out: Bruce Lee's "Fist of Fury" is the first film that successfully expresses strong patriotism, national spirit, and heroism.It has a sense of national pride that is difficult for all Hong Kong-produced films to vent directly. Although the pleasure of this pride is short-lived and short-lived, the passion and sense of justice conveyed by the film are irreplaceable, and its totem significance is beyond doubt.

"Ming Pao" reported: Last night, all major theaters in Hong Kong put up "full house" notices. Thousands of movie fans rushed to the theaters like crazy. At one point, the movie tickets were sold out, and the theaters had to immediately make tickets overnight to comfort the audience. Fans who can't wait, for the first time in the history of Hong Kong cinema, "Jing Fu Men" is very charming.
