new kung fu king

Chapter 616

(There was a common sense error in the last chapter. Rouran should be Shan Yu, not a big man. Please correct me, sweat.)
When Zhao Gang arrived in Hong Kong, it was already September 9th. If he came two days late, he would have missed the launch of "Mulan". For the first time he came to colonial Hong Kong, Zhao Gang did not directly follow Wang Xiaohu into the car, but stood in Hong Kong I have been feeling for a long time on the land.

He said to Wang Xiaohu: "Old Wang, do you believe that this place will return to the embrace of the motherland?"

"Believe it!" Wang Xiaohu said firmly. In his previous life, Hong Kong returned to China on July 1997, 7. This is a certainty. Wang Xiaohu does not believe that the butterfly effect caused by his rebirth will affect the international situation. After all, he is just a film worker. , not a politician.

"Hey, old Wang, you are so confident. Are you afraid that our People's Liberation Army will come and steal your property? You are a local rich man in Hong Kong!" Zhao Gang smiled and said with a Chinese cigarette in his mouth.

Wang Xiaohu shrugged indifferently and said: "In terms of wealth and assets, I am not well-known in Hong Kong. If you want to steal your property, you should focus on Hong Kong's banks, shipping, real estate, etc. They are the real ones. rich landowner."

"Did you say the four major families in Hong Kong?" Zhao Gang flicked the cigarette ash and said.

Wang Xiaohu shook his head with a wry smile. There are many theories about the four major families, and they can be divided into front and back. The family and so on are defined as the four major families. In fact, the Gao Kening family was also included in the top four families.

"Okay, what are you doing with so much emotion once you arrive in Hong Kong, I'm here to let you film, not to take back Hong Kong!" Wang Xiaohu cursed with a smile, and stuffed Zhao Gang into the car.

"Then you have to give me a salary, I didn't bring a dime!" Zhao Gang continued to respond to Wang Xiaohu, who simply opened the window of the car, so as not to mention that this guy made the air in the car smoky, he still kept his mouth open. No door.

Compared with Yu Rongguang and Xiong Xinxin, when Zhao Gang came to Hong Kong, he received more welcome scenes. At the reception banquet, the Seven Little Fortune brothers were all dispatched. How can we say that everyone was familiar with the filming of "Mythology", and it was easier to speak, which made Zhao Gang feel Double face.

After eating and drinking, he went back home, Zhao Gang was assigned to a spare villa on Cumberland Road, where Yu Rongguang and Xiong Xinxin accompanied him, so he was not alone.

On September 9th, Xiehe Company quietly started up in the film and television city. It did not do any publicity work before. This was specially arranged by Wang Xiaohu. Now he no longer likes the old way of filming. He invites media reporters and colleagues join in.

No need, Wang Xiaohu's current ability determined that he didn't need such a cumbersome publicity effect, and just presided over the opening ceremony according to the old rules in the Hong Kong film circle.

"Tsk tsk, your opening ceremony in Hong Kong is more lively and fresh!"

Zhao Gang held a piece of delicious roasted suckling pork in his hand, and gnawed on it while marveling: "Old Wang, why weren't you so lively when "Mythology" was launched back then, with lion dance and barbecue."

A string of black lines appeared on Wang Xiaohu's forehead. He felt that since Zhao Gang came to Hong Kong, everything was new and curious. It was not as good as Yu Rongguang and Xiong Xinxin. The other two didn't understand. To inquire, unlike Zhao Gang who directly asks Wang Xiaohu.

"." Wang Xiaohu stared at Zhao Gang speechlessly for more than a minute, then sighed and said, "At that time, the domestic reform had just ended. If I held the opening ceremony according to Hong Kong's rules, wouldn't you label me as a propagandist of feudal superstition?"

After eating roast suckling pig and the excitement of the crew, Wang Xiaohu announced the official start of filming.

The first scene is the scene when Hua Mulan enlisted in the army, explaining how Hua Mulan adapts to life in the military camp, and how to prevent men from discovering that she is actually a daughter.

The actors who appeared mainly included Brigitte Lin, Stephen Chow, Zhao Gang, Xiong Xinxin, etc., as well as a group of students who graduated from the Dragon and Tiger Martial Arts Union.

In the Disney version of "Mulan", in order to cover up the identity of Hua Mulan's daughter, they fabricated a watchman patron saint like a Muxu dragon. Naturally, Wang Xiaohu would not borrow it, because this Muxu dragon is a typical Hollywood style, have you seen any ancient patron saints reading modern newspapers?Have you ever seen Mulan's breakfast is sausage and fried eggs?
So the more reliable method is the zw version, arrange a childhood friend to cover, and the task of this childhood friend falls on Zhou Xingchi.

However, Wang Xiaohu did not completely deny the Disney version. At least Uncle Sam successfully absorbed the practice plot in Hong Kong martial arts movies, showing the story of how Hua Mulan and the recruits grew up.

In Wang Xiaohu's view, these things are indeed the essence of Hong Kong kung fu and martial arts movies, but in the zw version, I don't know how director Ma Chucheng thought about it, and even discarded these essences, and did not receive any stories about everyone's growth. Just use a war to make Hua Mulan suddenly wake up.

This is something Wang Xiaohu firmly disagrees with. He wrote in the script about Mulan's military service in great detail.

For example, the first scene to be shot in the first scene today is the scene where Brigitte Lin rode a horse and experienced "but heard the sound of the Yellow River splashing" to the army to report, and was discovered by her childhood companion Zhou Xingchi.

"Every department is in place!" Wang Xiaohu picked up the director's microphone and gave an order. All the cast and crew of the crew were in place, and various equipment such as lights, fireworks, cameras, and recordings were also set up.

"Mulan Scene [-]: Barracks Report, Article [-]".The recorder played the record card to the camera, and Wang Xiaohu immediately said: "action!"

Seeing the recruits reporting that the venue was very lively, Zhou Xingchi, who was wearing a blue military uniform and a small helmet, wobbled into the camera and stood behind Brigitte Lin who was receiving the military uniform for a long time before he stretched out his hand to pat her in disbelief. shoulder, rubbed his eyes and said, "Mulan."

Then before Brigitte Lin could react, Zhou Xingchi dragged her to a place where there were few people, and said as he walked, "Why are you here?"

"I'm here for my father."

"No way"

While the two were speaking their lines, they walked across the stables and the small wooden bridge. It was only after they got out of the lens of the five cameras that Wang Xiaohu yelled: "CUT!"

"Xingzi, come here!" Wang Xiaohu said while holding the director's microphone.

In the scene just now, he has been watching in the monitor, controlling the camera to capture Lin Qingxia's facial expressions.

Brigitte Lin had no problem with her acting skills. After being discovered by Zhou Xingchi, she opened her mouth in surprise, and then looked around to see if there were other fellow countrymen, lest her identity be exposed by others. The surprise, panic, and then calmness in her eyes, she The grasp is just right, even Wang Xiaohu can't find any faults.

The problem lies with Zhou Xingchi. There was no problem when this guy entered the camera at the beginning, but when he spoke the first line of dialogue, he almost laughed. If he hadn't reacted quickly to cover it up, if it hadn't been for Wang Xiaohu's careful observation, it would have been very difficult. It is possible to let this kid get away with it.

Zhou Xingchi knew it well, he ran to the master's side in a hurry, and before the master could speak, he had already started to admit his mistake: "Master, I won't do it next time."

"In addition to laughing, you also need to show the expression of worrying about being implicated after discovering Mulan's identity. Don't you think that what you just acted like a piece of wood?" Wang Xiaohu hated that iron could not be steel.

It seems that the idea of ​​​​determining the tricks for Zhou Xingchi at the beginning was completely correct. Although this guy graduated from the TVB training class and often appeared in major TV dramas, when he really participated in filming, his acting skills still hadn't been tempered.

"Should I change the actor?"

Zhou Xingchi immediately panicked when he heard the words, "Master, don't do it, it's hard to wait for this opportunity, I just feel that this character should be like this"

"Stop! Stop!" Wang Xiaohu raised his hand and knocked on his forehead, angrily said: "Here I am the director, if you make your own decisions, be careful, I will give you rattan noodles!"

Wang Xiaohu had heard about Zhou Xingchi's misbehavior and self-assessment in his previous life. He heard that this guy had to NG more than a dozen times when he played the dead body that was beaten to death. Struggling a little more can completely show the determination of his character "not wanting to die".

Unexpectedly, after not cooperating with him for many years, such a mess would really happen once we cooperated. Wang Xiaohu felt that this was incredible.He knew that Zhou Xingchi became the star master in the future because he insisted on this serious style, but the current "Mulan" is not what he thinks, it is a well-behaved epic film, and no past life zw is allowed Those low-level "jokes" in the version.

In fact, there are also funny scenes in the script, but it is not what Stephen Chow thinks, but some small jokes are interspersed during the training, so as to embellish the depressing and tragic atmosphere of the whole film.

"Come again, if you still behave like this, even if you are my apprentice, I will mercilessly drive you out of the crew."

Wang Xiaohu gave an ultimatum, his requirements were not high, as long as Zhou Xingchi played a normal actor level in the first scene, as long as he can film in a satisfactory manner, everything will be fine.

"Okay, okay." Zhou Xingchi straightened his hat, and hurried back to the place where he buried his seat just now.

Lin Qingxia walked over and said with a smile, "Ahu, are you being too harsh on him?"

"Hehe." Wang Xiaohu said with a smile: "A good seedling needs to be trained!"
