Chapter 607 What's After Shaolin?
Takeshi Kato, male, 39 years old, Japanese-American, joined the Screen Actors Guild of America in 1972, but did not participate in any film or TV series shooting in Hollywood for a few years. Training, to become the most powerful player in the gym in just one year.

When Oyama arrived in Los Angeles in 1977, he admired Katota Takeshi very much, and then brought him back to Japan as his apprentice.

In 1978, Katota started filming "The Strongest Karate on the Ground" based on the true biography of Oyama Beida, and began to show his unique film talent. Representative of outstanding New Wave directors.

After "Samurai", Kato Tada abandoned his shadow to concentrate on martial arts, and challenged the "hundred-man team" in 79, achieving an impressive record of 99 KO and 1 tie. He was evaluated by Oyama Beida as a "karate genius". Dashan Beida people, and hope to surpass Dashan Beida.

Wang Xiaohu looked at the information sheet about Kato Takashi compiled by his wife, and his brows became "Chuan". According to these materials, there is nothing suspicious about Kato Tadao's identity. He has amazing talents in this field, not only becoming a representative of emerging Japanese film directors, but also a karate genius who is closest to Oyama Beida.

And this person owns his own mansion and famous car in Japan, and has been living a very enjoyable single life, and there is not even any information about him before 1972.

"Grandma, there are still such clean people in this world?" Wang Xiaohu cursed, threw these materials on the table, frowned and recalled the process of his and Kato Tiangang's discussion, about the "Hundred People Team" clearance He watched the video no less than 100 times.

Every time he watched it, he felt that although Kato Takashi’s movements were standard karate moves, they were improved karate, such as simplifying some repetitive and locked movements, making karate more lethal. To be precise , is to upgrade the unreasonable parts of karate, which is very streamlined and direct.

"It's kind of like Jeet Kune Do."

Jeet Kune Do does not belong to any school or school, nor is it a hodgepodge of the essence of various schools. Even Wang Xiaohu dare not pretend that he knows much about Jeet Kune Do at present, which shows that it is very tolerant.

For example, just like Einstein's "Theory of Relativity" is suitable for solving and exploring the mysteries of the entire universe, Jeet Kune Do is a fighting science based on "two hands and two legs". It cannot be absolutely However, for those who only have "two hands and two legs", and for those who one-sidedly emphasize the overall fighting of the four limbs and eight bodies of the human body, Jeet Kune Do is relatively perfect.

It is this relative perfection that makes Jeet Kune Do not refer to specific moves or routines. As long as a fighter who conforms to the general outline of Jeet Kune Do improves and simplifies his own martial arts according to the philosophy of Jeet Kune Do, he can call himself Jeet Kune Do Boxing practitioners.

This seems to be a bit contradictory. If you want to blame it, you can only blame Bruce Lee for not perfecting Jeet Kune Do because of his untimely death, so that Wang Xiaohu is still in the groping stage.

So now Wang Xiaohu is more suspicious of Kato Takashi's identity, because he knows that he is Bruce Lee's closed disciple, and no matter whether it is in the previous life or in this life, there is no rumor that Bruce Lee has taken another apprentice.

"It seems that there are some things that need to be investigated slowly."

Wang Xiaohu sighed, carefully locked these materials and newspapers in the safe, and then stretched himself to the exercise room to exercise.

Since September, the "Hong Kong Film Promotion" campaign has also begun in major cities in the mainland. There are a total of 9 Hong Kong movies, which can be said to be rare spiritual food for ordinary people in the mainland. For a while, there has been an upsurge in the study of Hong Kong culture in the mainland.

"Shaolin Temple" is also released in North America. For this movie, which has been waiting for more than half a year, several Hollywood giants have not shown any mercy in terms of publicity. After all, Wang Xiaohu's famous signboard is placed here, and the success of "ET" is even more exciting market, and the current global sales of "Shaolin Temple" are also very exciting. They want to see what kind of trend Wang Xiaohu will set off this time.

"Minister Huang, yes, I called you this time to talk about this matter. Our Shaolin monks and main actors can go to the United States to carry out publicity work. Don't worry, this time it will be even more sensational than the previous publicity. , Remember to inform your counterparts in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, this can be a very meaningful publicity."

Wang Xiaohu called the Ministry of Culture of the mainland. Before the film was released, Minister Huang urged the publicity work more than once. Although he had done publicity in the United States before, those can only be used to build momentum for the film and fully attract the curiosity of American audiences. Xin, and after the film was released this time, the job of asking for promotion was not only to increase the box office data, but also handed over the dominance of the promotion to the mainland.

After all, Wang Xiaohu filmed "Shaolin Temple" under the banner of promoting Chinese culture, and his goal of box office has been successfully achieved, and the remaining tasks have to be taken over by the mainland officials, and another layer of meaning of "Shaolin Temple" has to be reproduced. Expansion, starting the signboard of "Shaolin Kung Fu".

Minister Huang was naturally overjoyed. They had been waiting for this opportunity for a long time. Minister Huang was very pleased that Wang Xiaohu was so considerate of the country. Mr. Wang was so considerate!

Minister Huang put down the phone, and immediately submitted the propaganda plan to the higher-ups, and at the same time implemented some things that Wang Xiaohu explained one by one.

The first thing is naturally to entrust Liang Yiquan and other martial arts masters to start the "Save Shaolin" plan. This matter is the first task that Wang Xiaohu will start after the capital injection. In fact, the higher authorities are very supportive of Wang Xiaohu's spontaneous saving of "Shaolin Culture". After all, the country can save a lot of money.

The second is to help Liang Yiquan and others establish a team of Shaolin monks, and call on Shaolin monks to return to Shaolin Temple across the country to revitalize the development of Shaolin Temple.

Ever since Wang Xiaohu honored the Chinese people in Japan, Chinese people have become very interested in the word Kung Fu. In addition, now that "Hong Kong movie promotion" is in full swing, ordinary people also like martial arts movies and Kung Fu movies. Immediately after "Shaolin Temple" sparked The upsurge of martial arts became even crazier.

Wang Xiaohu's plan is to cooperate with the government to steer this upsurge in the right direction, lest some wicked and smokey guys take advantage of the loopholes and harm the common people and the next generation.

At the same time that the team of Shaolin monks was established, Liang Yiquan also received further instructions from Wang Xiaohu. In order to do a good job in digging and tidying up the work and speed up the work progress, Liang Yiquan gave training classes to the team of monks in the morning and afternoon, and visited some well-known old boxers in the morning. Organize martial arts information.

Some old boxers kept boxing records, and he borrowed them to copy and arrange them carefully.Some people didn't want to borrow it, so he found a stool and sat in his house to copy.Some did not have boxing scores, so Liang Yiquan asked them to dictate and record them himself.

Some have both boxing records and formulas, but they are unwilling to give or speak out. Liang Yiquan patiently does ideological work, so that these old boxers can let go of their ideological burdens, relieve their worries, and cooperate with their work.

From 1981 to 1987, during the excavation and arrangement of Henan martial arts, Dengfeng contributed 12 books on martial arts, of which 11 were from the Liang family. These 11 books were handed down by the Liang family and written by Liang Yiquan.Such as "Shaolin Wushu", "Shaolin Wushu Research" and "Songshan Shaolin Boxing" and other theoretical monographs. While engaged in editing work, he also published 29 papers in domestic and foreign newspapers and magazines, and was awarded as an advanced worker by the HEN Provincial Sports Committee.

Of course, these are all for later.

There is no doubt that Wang Xiaohu really chose the right person this time. He has won a very good reputation in the domestic martial arts circle by using "Shaolin Temple", Shaolin Kung Fu, and martial arts culture rescue measures.

Domestic and foreign affairs were handled at random, and Wang Xiaohu also took the time to visit Jet Li's home. Now Jet Li's body has fully recovered, and he also learned that his master took revenge for him. I can't express my gratitude in words for a while.

"Jie Tsai, do you know that Liu Jialiang asked you to film "North and South Shaolin"?"

Jet Li nodded: "Yes, I see. A few days ago, Liu Jialiang came to see me for afternoon tea and talked a lot about the film."

"Well, "Shaolin Temple" is now blooming all over the world. You can definitely make another movie of the same type, but after this movie, you should stop trying to make Shaolin-themed movies." Wang Xiaohu said with a smile.

"Then what should I shoot again?" Jet Li asked with his head tilted.

Wang Xiaohu said: "You don't have to worry about this, I already have a preliminary plan, you should hone your acting skills in "North and South Shaolin" first, but there are a few things you must pay attention to."

"Master, tell me." Jet Li's expression was very serious and serious. He knew that this time Master did not lead the filming, so he memorized every word Master said very carefully.

"First, don't play big names on the set. You are a public figure now, and you can't be proud of the popularity brought by "Shaolin Temple". If you don't know what big names are, you can ask Jackie Chan about the things he did back then. It's your role model."

Jet Li stuck out his tongue quickly. He had heard about Jackie Chan's success in "Drunken Master". He didn't want to repeat Jackie Chan's old ways. How to do it."

Wang Xiaohu nodded in relief. He has seen Jet Li's growth over the past few years. He can maintain a calm mind at this time, which shows that he still has a lot of plasticity. At least after the Shaolin theme, Wang Xiaohu has already prepared for him. Okay Fang Shiyu series.
