Chapter 628 The Important Role of Xingzi in "Mulan"

In the north in March, it is warm and cold at the beginning, and many tourists can be seen on the mountain road leading to Shaolin Temple. In addition to the common yellow skin and black hair, among these tourists, white skin and black skin can be vaguely seen. Come to the Holy Land of Martial Arts for sightseeing through "Shaolin Temple".

"It looks pretty good." Wang Xiaohu said with a smile when he was about to reach the mountain gate, "At least the tourism industry has been promoted, and Shaolin culture has been revived again."

The future Shaolin CEO hurriedly said with a smile on his face: "Everything was planned by Mr. Wang."

Wang Xiaohu shook his head with a smile and said, "Ashin, don't say such things in the future, you should thank the party and the government."

"Mr. Wang educated."

After entering the mountain gate, the Shaolin Temple was far more lively than when Wang Xiaohu came to shoot the scene. I don’t know where to hire a group of monks to sweep the floor and chant scriptures. It has the artistic conception of a thousand-year-old temple in the movie.

If Wang Xiaohu hadn’t known that this place used to be a ruined temple in Huangshan, he really thought that Shaolin Temple had maintained this quietness and peace from ancient times to the present. Obviously, someone deliberately cloned the scenes in the movie in reality. Such a method cannot be said Not good, at least it will make people who don’t know what kind of Shaolin feel a little familiar at first sight, at least everything is similar to the movie.

"This time, the Japan Shaolin Boxing Federation donated 3 yuan for the construction of the temple." Shi Yongxin reported to Wang Xiaohu while walking.

"Thirty thousand? It's too little. The little devils are too stingy. He doesn't want to think that we have expanded the enrollment of 40 students for him, and the film dividends have earned so much. What is this money enough for?" Wang Xiaohu stopped and asked. Shi Yongxin said: "Ashin, if Zong Yougui plays this little trick again in the future, you just refuse it, 3 yuan? Hmph, what about sending the beggar?"

When Shi Yongxin heard the words, he spoke in secret, thinking that this master is really a lion, in his opinion, 3 yuan is already a lot, it is definitely a huge sum of money, isn't it?

In the guest room, Wang Xiaohu saw Zong Yougui and his party who came to Shaolin to learn Buddhist scriptures. Maybe Zong Yougui didn't expect Wang Xiaohu to be here too. He bent down and bowed, "Mr. Wang, it's great to see you here!"

Wang Xiaohu nodded, and Shi Shiran sat cross-legged on the futon and said, "Zong Yougui, what's the situation with the Japanese theaters? Why hasn't the final payment for the premiere bonus of "Shaolin Temple" arrived yet?"

Different from the atmosphere in the previous conversations with Wang Xiaohu, Zong Yougui felt particularly stressed. This feeling started from the moment Wang Xiaohu passed the hand of a group of hundreds of people. In Zong Yougui's view, Wang Xiaohu was as invisible as a mountain Give her a strong sense of pressure and urgency.

"Mr. Wang, it is like this. There is a little misunderstanding, but we are already working hard to negotiate. I believe that within a week, the remaining balance will be in your account."

What is the specific misunderstanding, Wang Xiaohu has no interest at all, and he has no interest in any method Zong Yougui adopts. In his eyes, the Japanese Shaolin Fist Alliance is just a branch of Shaolin Temple, and he will continue to give Zong Yougui Yugui puts pressure on her to firmly remember that Shaolin Kungfu originated in China.

Perhaps at the beginning, Zong Yougui did not feel his dependence on China. After all, their country’s karate culture is also very developed. It has been brilliant for decades to add Shaolin Kungfu to karate and judo as a promotion, but last year Wang Xiaohu used The iron fist completely shattered Zong Yugui's dream. This move was no less than dropping an atomic bomb on the Japanese karate and Japanese Kung Fu circles, and sounded the clarion call for the spread of Chinese Kung Fu around the world.

And after the group of hundreds of people, the Japanese Kung Fu community's support for the Shaolin Boxing Alliance has also dropped significantly. After all, they all think that Zong Yougui climbed into Wang Xiaohu's thigh, and that Chinese Kung Fu is so awesome, they still want us to be a coach.

This is also the main purpose of Zong Yougui's trip to Shaolin: to hire Shaolin monks as coaches and revive the reputation of Shaolin boxing alliance.

"Go back and send a message to the Japanese theaters, if they..." Wang Xiaohu suddenly stopped here, frowned and said: "Forget it, you should develop the Shaolin League honestly, dealing with the theaters is too troublesome Now, I'll find someone else to come forward and take responsibility."

The implication is that Wang Xiaohu feels that it is too troublesome to contact the Japanese cinema through Zong Yougui, so he wants to bypass her relationship and contact the Japanese cinema directly, and it is more appropriate for Zong Yougui to engage in Shaolin culture honestly in the future .

Zong Yougui didn't understand what she meant. After all, she was a woman, and the 120 million boxing alliance made her exhausted. If she contacted the theater, she was really worried that Wang Xiaohu would be unhappy because of her ineffectiveness. Well, so after the "Hay" sound, he stopped talking.

Wang Xiaohu wandered around the Shaolin Temple for a long time, and found that the number of monks in the Shaolin Temple had expanded to as many as 100. In this weather, these 72 people wore thin monk clothes to practice Shaolin Kungfu, from the simplest Shaolin Changquan to Complicated [-] stunts are in full swing.

Wang Xiaohu looked at it twice, and shook his head bitterly. There is no other shortcut to Kung Fu these years except for hard training. If any person punches a thousand times a day, he can easily punch him after three months. Open two bricks, change anyone to insert iron sand every day with Shaolin's secret medicine for maintenance, and easily practice iron sand palms after 72 days. This thing relies on a lot of perseverance.

Isn't it just a few so-called "unique tricks and secrets" that can be magically protected at a glance? Didn't he, Wang Xiaohu, reach his current attainment with nine years of unremitting efforts?

Therefore, after the "hundred-person team", Wang Xiaohu became more and more convinced of the three viewpoints of "simplification, directness, and non-traditional" from Jeet Kune Do.

At noon, he enjoyed a good fast meal with the abbot of Shaolin, and after asking for a spot for Winterdur, Wang Xiaohu returned to the film crew in the afternoon, leading the team to NMG.

NMG Hulunbier Grassland, near the foot of several mountains in XBEHZQ, has set up hundreds of yurts, and five or six military vehicles deliver beef, mutton, fresh vegetables, fruits and other materials to here every day.

Three kilometers away from the yurts, the crew of "Mulan" is filming the last war scene here.

The joke of this war is that the prince of Rouran killed the old Shanyu alone to usurp the throne, and the army of Rouran intends to annex the Central Plains.However, he was blocked by Hua Mulan, Li Tai and other Northern Wei army. With the advice of Rouran's military advisers, the general of the Northern Wei Dynasty was bought by Rouran with a lot of money. In addition, Hua Mulan's reputation in the army has been rising in the past few years. The old general is inevitably jealous, so Yu Rouran decided to put Hua Mulan to death.

Mulan didn't know that she had been tricked, and still fought according to the plan she had made with the old general. When she successfully led Rouran's army to the Grand Canyon, Mendu revealed on the spot that she had bought the old general.

"Hua Mulan, you hurt me ten thousand times, and I will let you taste the feeling of being betrayed today!" Yu Rongguang rode on the horse, leaned sideways and said with almost rascal eyes: "Your reinforcements are Impossible, obediently dismount and accept surrender, in my eyes, you Dawei people are sheep, we Rouran people are wolves! Hahaha!"

The army of Rouran let out loud laughter, and the arrogance made Brigitte Lin's horse start to panic. She raised her hand to comfort the horse, and raised her head with an indomitable look in her eyes: "We have Han people in Great Wei, and there are Han people. Di people."

Sitting behind the monitor, Wang Xiaohu heaved a long sigh of relief after listening to Lin Qingxia read this line of dialogue. In the few NG lines just now, Lin Qingxia pronounced the word "Di" as "Shi", which made Wang Xiaohu very angry. Out of dissatisfaction, she called Brigitte Lin over fiercely and emphasized repeatedly: "This word is pronounced Di, but not Shi, don't think it's a little less. If you pronounce it as Shi, the whole film will not be a little less." !"

Wang Xiaohu remembered that after the release of the 09 version of "Mulan" in his previous life, zw missed a point and pronounced "Di" as "shi", which caused a lot of fans to scold him. Of course, zw was wronged because the script said This is how it is written, which fully demonstrates the congenital disease of some Hong Kong directors who lack a sense of history. It seems that after staying in that small place in Hong Kong for a long time, they lack a necessary sensitivity and understanding of China in the past except for "urban civilization". Even if you don't know anything, you can't detect such obvious mistakes as "Di" and "Shi", which is tantamount to a human tragedy.

As a commodity with cultural attributes, a movie can of course reflect the cognition of the filmmakers to a certain extent.Whenever Hong Kong directors film China that involves "Central Plains culture", especially China's past, they all show a rather wishful view of history.

In the previous life, some directors with outstanding achievements in Hong Kong threw themselves into the camp of blockbusters in ancient costumes, but the result was: some people made historical legends into modern ethical dramas, while others turned the fables of ancient costumes into preaching ones. Dojo, others turn the big epic into a love affair between two men...

Sometimes Wang Xiaohu even doubts whether Hong Kong people have a "view of history" at all, perhaps because of the unique geographical location of Hong Kong and Taiwan.

Little did she know that Brigitte Lin under the camera also let out a long breath. This was the first time since "Mulan" started that Wang Xiaohu was so fierce to her that she almost shed tears from Lin Meiren's training. She didn't know the significance of less and more what.

Hearing Wang Xiaohu yell: "It's over, get ready for the next one, shooting battle scenes."

Brigitte Lin hurriedly got off her horse, and Weng Meiling trotted to deliver a bowl of ginger soup and a military coat. "Sister Qingxia, hurry up and drink while it's hot to warm up."

"Thank you." Brigitte Lin was wearing a military overcoat, drinking hot ginger soup, and then asked tentatively: "Ah Hu didn't lose his temper just now, did he?"

"No. He hid in the van to warm up after shouting for the next one. Haha, he is no better than us. We can still find time to stay warm in the car. He has to watch everything outside." Weng Meiling gloated. , and at the same time pulled Brigitte Lin to another van.

"Hehe." Lin Qingxia got into the van with a wry smile, and found that Chow Yun-fat was also squatting inside, wrapped in a thick quilt, drinking ginger soup tremblingly in his hand, "Oh, I'm freezing to death. "

"Hey, it's better to be an actor." Brigitte Lin suddenly felt emotional, because she saw Wang Xiaohu appearing on the set wearing a military overcoat through the car window, holding a directing microphone and talking to several executive directors about the next filming role.

Seeing this, Brigitte Lin felt distressed for no reason. After the crew entered Inner Mongolia, they usually chose to shoot at noon, because the temperature was around 10 degrees for a few hours before and after noon. After the best time, the temperature will start to return. Shrinking, the temperature outside is now 4 degrees, and it will drop directly below 0 degrees after the sun goes down.

If it weren't for the fact that I said the wrong "ツ" today and caused it to be NG three times, the filming would have been completed early today. Thinking of her mistake affecting the progress of the filming, Brigitte Lin felt very uncomfortable. "Ah Ong, do you have more hand warmers?"

"No, dead Zhang Yuan hasn't purchased yet." Weng Meiling blinked and before she finished speaking, she saw Lin Qingxia suddenly opened the car door and ran towards Wang Xiaohu. "Hey, sister Qingxia, what are you doing?"

Brigitte Lin never heard anything, and trotted to Wang Xiaohu's side, stuffed the warm handbag in her arms to Wang Xiaohu, and ran back into the van before Wang Xiaohu could say anything.

"."

The hand warmer was emitting enough heat, but Wang Xiaohu was at a loss, what was going on?Soon, Wang Xiaohu hugged the hand warmer in his arms, and continued to talk to several executive directors about the scenes to be filmed.

"The war scenes to be filmed this time are very different from those in the previous "Mythology". The civilization of the Northern Wei Dynasty is much more developed than that of the Qin Dynasty, especially in terms of military affairs."

Wang Xiaohu took the director's shooting plan and said: "It is necessary to highlight the brutality and strong sense of urgency of Rouran's army, and also to film the determination of Hua Mulan's army's last stand. Therefore, you executive directors will follow my arrangements closely. , whether it is a war horse or an actor, they can all pass without any trouble."

Several executive directors have been cultivated by Wang Xiaohu over the years. For example, Li Hanwei, who was a photographer in the early years, is now a member of the executive director, not to mention Yuan Heping, who served as the assistant director and action director in "Mulan". He is the most experienced talent in Xiehe Company for this kind of war scene.

After arranging these things, Wang Xiaohu called Zhou Xingchi over: "Xingzi, you will be the leader later, remember to mobilize the emotions of the extras behind you, and take the kind of prisoners who can't lose the face of Wei Jun." Grasp the scene well, remember, no laughing!"

Zhou Xingchi nodded quickly. Since he soaked in the river for six hours last time, Xingzi has understood his important role in the play. He also has a new understanding of the role of Fei Xiaolong in the film. Not only is Hua Mulan a simple childhood companion, but he is also responsible for promoting the development of the plot at critical moments. For example, the sensational scene at the end of the film highlights Hua Mulan's inner struggle, pain, and intolerance.
