new kung fu king

Chapter 605 Jackson recorded a song for "ET"

When only Wang Xiaohu and Liang Xiaolong were left in the room, the atmosphere was somewhat awkward.

Wang Xiaohu looked at the ashamed Liang Xiaolong, who lowered his head as low as he could, looking embarrassed.

After a long time, Wang Xiaohu said, "Ah Liang, do you feel very stressed?"

Liang Xiaolong raised his head to look at Wang Xiaohu, then nodded vigorously and said, "Yes, there is a lot of pressure to take on this film, Brother Hu, I really don't want to play Chen Zhen, because your "Jing Fu Men" has played Chen Zhen with flesh and blood, I photographed Chen Zhen, no matter what, you can't reach your height."

"So you're in a bad mood, always making trouble for Xu Xiaoming?" Wang Xiaohu asked with raised eyebrows.

Liang Xiaolong shook his head and said, "Not all of them."

Not all, that is, there is an element of "yes".

If I were any actor, I would not want to play the role of Chen Zhen. As Liang Xiaolong said, Chen Zhen has been photographed by Bruce Lee and Wang Xiaohu over the years. National righteousness, tortuous love, and character growth are integrated in the [-]-episode series, making Chen Zhen's image more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

If it were any actor, he wouldn't want to challenge such a classic. It's not that Liang Xiaolong didn't have the courage to act, but what happened after this TV series was filmed?Wouldn't it be a shock if the audience couldn't accept it?
Wang Xiaohu naturally understood Liang Xiaolong's pressure. In fact, he had similar concerns when he launched "Huo Yuanjia". It was launched in mainland China, but Wang Xiaohu had no intention of releasing it in Hong Kong from the very beginning.

This is also the main reason why Xu Xiaoming started filming without any pressure, but as a director, he couldn't explain this clearly to the actors. He had to let the actors take the film seriously while maintaining considerable pressure.

Some history may have been changed by Wang Xiaohu, but some history Wang Xiaohu still insists on. For example, "Fearless" was the first Hong Kong TV series to be shown in the mainland.

Patting Liang Xiaolong on the shoulder, Wang Xiaohu said with a smile: "Ah Liang, your worries are unnecessary! The reason why this TV series will be filmed in mainland China is that I want to take advantage of Huo Yuanjia's popularity in China. There is a boom in Hong Kong TV in the mainland, and you are the first batch of landing. As for "Fist of Fury", it can be released in the mainland after seven or eight years. At that time, you will already be popular in the mainland. How can you make a good movie with your own ideas?"

"Huh?" Liang Xiaolong blinked suspiciously when he heard the words, scratched his head and said, "Why is that?"

"No reason, everyone is in the circle, not to mention you have been hidden by me for several years, either as a martial arts instructor at Li's, or as a martial arts teacher with Sammo Hung and the others. You have accumulated a lot of kung fu and acting skills, and you should take them out Show off, right?" Wang Xiaohu said apologetically, "It can be regarded as making up for what I owe you over the past few years."

Speaking of it, Wang Xiaohu was really full of guilt towards Liang Xiaolong. In order to quickly transition Hong Kong movies from the trough area, he pushed Liang Xiaolong, He Zongdao, Huang Jianlong, and Jin Tae-chung to Golden Harvest Company, and launched the so-called Bruce Lee II audition, which indirectly Accelerated the bankruptcy of Jiahe Company. After that, He Zongdao and others left Xiehe Company. Wang Xiaohu ordered Liang Xiaolong to stay alone, let him participate in the training of the Dragon and Tiger Martial Arts Union, and introduced him to major film and television companies to do martial arts guide.

When there is no filming, Liang Xiaolong will return to the Dragon and Tiger Martial Arts Union to lead students. This is a fine tradition of the union. After the students who have gone out of the training class have accumulated experience on the set, they will return to the union on a voluntary basis. Lead the students and tell the students about their work experience so that they can avoid detours.

Over the past nine years, the Dragon and Tiger Martial Arts Association has sent a large number of martial arts instructors, martial arts actors, and stand-ins to Hong Kong, Taiwan, Macau, and Southeast Asian countries every year. It has a good reputation in the entire film and television circle, especially the martial arts instructors who came out of the union All of them are the pillars of kung fu movies, martial arts movies, and costume TV dramas. Some of them are so successful that they are even more arrogant than the director on the set.

This is the reliance of Xiehe Company, and it is also the good reputation of Dragon Tiger Martial Arts since its establishment.

Liang Xiaolong grew up in such a big environment, but he is different from other students who graduated from trade unions. Apart from filming and teaching students, he would return to the old base whenever he had time to meet with Billy Zhou, Stephen Chow, Donnie Yen, Jet Li and others Practice in actual combat, and occasionally meet Nai Buddha, the Muay Thai king who comes to Hong Kong for tourism.

It can be said that Liang Xiaolong is among the four Asian tigers. Except for Bruce Lee, he really has real kung fu. According to Wang Xiaohu's estimation, his kung fu is much higher than Jackie Chan. Brothers rarely have the ambition to develop simultaneously in the film and television industry and the fighting world.

Hearing Wang Xiaohu's sincere words, Liang Xiaolong was dumbfounded. It turned out that Brother Hu hadn't forgotten the promise back then.Now, the complaints in my heart disappeared, "Brother Hu, I know what I should do."

Wang Xiaohu chuckled: "Film well and leave a good impression on the audience in mainland China. Don't keep thinking about conflicts with mainlanders."

"Brother Hu, when are you taking me to Japan?" Liang Xiaolong said suddenly.

Wang Xiaohu raised his eyebrows and said, "What are you going to do in Japan?"

Liang Xiaolong said seriously: "Of course I went to Japan to beat up little devils like you. A while ago, the newspapers in Shanghai reported every day that you beat up little devils in Japan. You don't know, every time I film a movie, I always regard myself as Chen Zhen. Treat those extras as real little devils, and then"

"Then you didn't attack lightly or seriously, and you injured the extras, right?" Wang Xiaohu laughed when he heard this: "You, you are too deep into the drama, the extras in Shanghai are not the martial artists from the union , if you hurt someone, you will naturally cause trouble."

What Xu Xiaoming said about the conflict between Liang Xiaolong and the Shanghainese was referring to this incident. Two extra actors invited from Shanghai were accidentally injured by Liang Xiaolong, and the noisy "Huo Yuanjia" was forced to stop. Contacted the Ministry of Culture, maybe Liang Xiaolong was taken away by the local Public Security Bureau.

Seeing that Wang Xiaohu's words did not mean to blame, Liang Xiaolong felt even more ashamed, lowered his head and promised: "I will never dare again in the future."

"You want to fight, don't you? Find me when you get back to Hong Kong. Let's fight for [-] rounds."

Liang Xiaolong shook his head vigorously, and said with a wry smile: "Let's forget it, I'd rather be beaten by Naifo than fight against you, Brother Hu. The newspaper said that you sent more than 90 little devils to the hospital."

"Haha, the newspapers are all nonsense. In fact, there are only more than 70 people in the hospital!" Wang Xiaohu corrected in time.

Even so, Liang Xiaolong still shook his head like a rattle, unless he was tired of life.

Wang Xiaohu stayed in Shanghai for one night. Apart from supervising the filming process of two "Huo Yuanjia", the rest of the time was to drag Zhao Gang to communicate with Shanghai. After all, the artist under him injured him, so he had to buy something. Apologizing, and leaving a sum of money for soup and medicine, this matter is finally over.

Seeing that he had caused so much trouble for his boss, Liang Xiaolong felt very sorry, so in the remaining few days, he was very serious in filming, and his performance was particularly outstanding. The happy Xu Xiaoming praised him for growing up.

In mid-August, Wang Xiaohu returned to Hong Kong. As soon as he got home, he stuffed Zhao Yazhi with a large pile of newspapers brought back from Japan.And shyly said: "Azhi, come and see the gift I brought you!"

Zhao Yazhi knew that her husband had "behaved" once again in Japan, and she was relieved to see that he was alive and kicking without any injuries. In fact, she only learned that her husband accepted the challenge from the Japanese karate circle not long ago. , but at that time her husband had already returned to the mainland.

"What are these? Are your glorious achievements in Japan?" Zhao Yazhi picked up these newspapers and glanced at them casually, and found that there were few reports introducing her husband's challenge to "Hundred Teams". Instead, she introduced a person named Take Kato.

"Who is he? Oh, I saw it, he beat you!" Zhao Yazhi asked while watching.

"That's right." Wang Xiaohu nodded: "He defeated me, but these are not important. I need to know the identity of this guy. To be honest, I suspect that he has a lot to do with Brother Xiaolong's death."

There was only their young couple in the study, so Wang Xiaohu didn't hide anything, and told his wife all the doubts in his heart. After hearing this, the latter frowned, realizing the importance of this matter to her husband, and immediately put these newspapers on the desk Going up to watch, after watching for a while, she patted her forehead and said: "I almost forgot, Winterdur sent you a bunch of newspapers, about "ET", hehe, my son likes ET very much Doll."

"Is "ET" released?" Wang Xiaohu was delighted when he heard this, and immediately read the newspaper sent by Winterdur.

Good news came from Winterdur. Spielberg's "ET. Alien" premiered in North America in mid-July. Once the film was released, it immediately became a sensation in the United States. People thought it was very strange: tenderness, youthful innocence, Alternative friendship can be so harmoniously unified in a film.Many people walked into the theater and reviewed the friendship story of Elliott and Little ET over and over again.

Roger Ebert, a famous Hollywood film critic, said: "The film is very attractive from the beginning. In the dark night in the suburbs of Northern California, the little boy Elliott meets little ET. People are a little nervous to watch. I don't know what will happen next." What happened, like watching a Hitchcock suspense film. The following plot is compact and smooth, until the end - the most emotional and saddest scene: Elliott and little ET had to separate. At this moment, I I believe that the hearts of all viewers will become fragmented and cannot be found."

Even someone as hard-hearted as novelist Martin Amis can be moved when he wrote: "At the end of ET, I couldn't contain my sadness. I looked back at the People who suffer like me, be it government officials, playboys, Japanese businessmen, rock fans, hippies or mothers, teenagers and children, have tears on their faces....we don't cry for that little ET or Elliott , not for Little Jetty, but for the lost ego. This is where Tiger Wang's genius lies. I bet, if Tiger Wang switches careers to become a novelist, his novels will definitely sell well all over the world! "

"This is a classic movie full of innocence and fantastic fantasy. It's hard to imagine that Tiger King would write such a warm script. The audience who watched it said it was very warm, even better than the one directed by Tiger King a few years ago. "Home Alone" is even warmer."

In fact, the information collected by Winterdur is not only these. Prior to this, Spielberg had already participated in the Cannes Film Festival with "ET Alien", and Old Wen translated those French newspapers for remarks.

He said in a note: At the press conference at the Cannes Film Festival, Spielberg talked about the film in an almost respectful tone.He told reporters: This film is not a purely commercial film, and maybe not everyone will like it.He speaks in a tone that sounds less like its creator than its custodian—"I'm shooting ET for ourselves, of course, without my boss, You may not see Parker!"

Parker is ET, the alien with the big eyes that have a hint of regret, the hammer-shaped head, and the wrinkled skin that is almost an icon.

At present, the results of "ET" after its release are very gratifying. It has won a box office of 4600 million US dollars in North America in one month. Some people may say that the box office results are average, but don't forget "Star Wars", "Myth", Reruns of films such as "First Blood" are also affecting audiences.

These films are all produced by Xiehe Company, and each film has quite a crowd. Audiences always have to choose to buy movie tickets before watching the film. For example, watching "Star Wars" today to appreciate the dream of flying in space, Watch "Mythology" tomorrow to feel the influence of Chinese culture, and watch "First Blood" in the theater the day after tomorrow.
The phone in the room rang suddenly, and when Wang Xiaohu picked it up, he heard a very familiar voice: "Hi, my dear teacher, how are you recently?"

"Who? Is it Michael?"

"Yes, dear teacher, it makes me feel very sad that you have forgotten me." It was Michael Jackson who called.

After a short period of sadness, he suddenly said with great interest: "Teacher, I have recorded a set of "Alien Stories" albums, and there is a song related to "ET Aliens" called "There is a you'."
