Chapter 738 The Indispensable "Tomorrow Will Be Better"

Speaking of which, since participating in the filming of "Fist of Fury", Wang Xiaohu hasn't played tricks for more than ten years.

In his career as an actor, he only appeared as a supporting role in "Fist of Fury" and "The Warrior's Journey". In other movies, he was the leading role. It is really the first time for him to have such a cameo role .

Although the costumes on her body are a bit restrictive, and even though this appearance was teased by Long Zichen for being vulgar, she still sat there solemnly, pushed the toad sunglasses on the bridge of her nose, and said, "This is our rare virgin cameo." show."

This made the whole crew laugh.

Long Zichen hugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "Actually, it's not very vulgar, it's just that you used to wear Tang suits and casual clothes before, and when you put on formal clothes at first, you also put on a serious and majestic expression, which makes people feel Very awkward."

"I dedicated my life to art."

The crew laughed again.

Wang Xiaohu's guest appearances are very few, only a few shots, two scenes,

In one scene, he and Leslie Cheung were sitting together watching Zhu Baoyi on the stage playing the cello. During the period, Leslie Cheung imitated him by raising his legs, which made him frown greatly. As a result, Zhu Baoyi on the stage messed up the exam, and he clapped his hands like a joke applaud.

In another scene, Zhu Baoyi and Leslie Cheung complained to each other and walked out of the theater. Wang Xiaohu happened to come out in his private car, but Leslie Cheung smashed the rear window glass with his cello. He opened his mouth wide and let out an "ah".

Only the first scene was filmed today, Wang Xiaohu, Zhu Baoyi and others are all old actors, it was completely a mistake.

On the other hand, Leslie Cheung was participating in filming for the first time, so he had very little experience, which made Wu Yusen jump on his feet.

"Ten boy, is it difficult to make eye contact with the boss after crossing your legs? What's wrong with you, NG five or six times!"

Wu Yusen's face turned blue with anger, he threw the script on the seat, and ran to the side to smoke a stuffy cigarette.

Leslie Cheung showed embarrassment, somewhat aggrieved, and felt very depressed.

Seeing this, Wang Xiaohu smiled and shook his head, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Ten Boy, do you feel wronged?"

Leslie Cheung nodded, then immediately shook his head and said, "Boss, I, I feel that I may not be really suitable for filming."

Leslie Cheung actually backed down, which is not a good sign.

If this guy suddenly loses his temper and stops filming, Cheng Dieyi in "Farewell My Concubine", Xu Zai in "Days of Being Wild", Ouyang Feng in "Evil and West Poison", Ning Caichen in "A Chinese Ghost Story" , where can I find someone for these classic characters who have left their names in film history?
That's a classic, especially "Farewell My Concubine", which shined directly in Cannes.

No, no matter what you say, you have to convince this guy.

After thinking about it, Wang Xiaohu said: "It's okay, you are a newcomer, it's normal to not know acting skills."

"Look at Fazi, he didn't know how to act in the past. When he participated in the filming of "Ip Man" for the first time, he was scolded worse by me than you. Now his acting skills have matured and he has formed his own style. Did you work hard to get there?"

"Look at Huang Rihua, Andy Lau, and Zhou Xingchi. Which one of them was born capable of filming? Didn't they all come here step by step by filming Paolongta?"

"What we Hong Kong people lack most is the fighting spirit." Seeing that Leslie Cheung was listening carefully, Wang Xiaohu continued: "Let's talk about you again. You won the runner-up in the 77 Asian Amateur Singer Contest, and then entered the music scene. During this period, you must have been hired." Master scolded, if you had given up at the beginning, would you have achieved what you are today?"

"That's all I'm saying. It's up to you to decide whether you want to take this road or not. Think about it."

After Wang Xiaohu finished speaking, he got up and walked towards Wu Yusen. After finishing the ideological work of the actor, he still had to communicate with the director. Sometimes the producer is not easy to do.

"John, don't be angry, Shi Zai is a newcomer, NG is nothing but ordinary."

Wu Yusen stubbed out the cigarette butt, and said with some depression: "Boss, you may not know that Shi Zai is too easily influenced by the outside media. After reading the newspaper today, he has been out of shape. I have told him several times, and he still With this look, it’s obvious that he doesn’t cooperate, what else can I do? If you weren’t optimistic about him, I would have proposed a substitution.”

"Give him more opportunities. Usually, you, Fazai and Dillon should also teach him some filming experience." Wang Xiaohu sat down and said, "Isn't he out of shape today? Let's change Fazai and Dillon's filming first. Pull him out to adjust his mood."

"Okay." Wu Yusen had no choice but to get up and arrange for the next scene to be shot.

"Ten boy, you come back to the company with me." Wang Xiaohu called Leslie Cheung, then dragged Long Zichen, and hurried to the company.

On the way back to the car, Wang Xiaohu said, "Zichen, have the people you dug from Taiwan settled down yet?"

Long Zichen pursed his lips and said with a smile: "I've dug it up a long time ago. The little girl is definitely supporting you at the top of your boss Wang's orders. How dare you delay your plan."

"Hey, look at what you said, I'm not doing it for myself, Lisheng Records has added a strong player!" Wang Xiaohu laughed: "That's Luo Dayou!"

"I didn't expect him to be recruited so easily." Long Zichen said: "The person sent said that if there hadn't been the two collaborations of "Your Look" and "Wine Dried If You Sell Nothing" back then, plus Li Sheng The record is a little famous, and with Liyun as the middleman, Luo Dayou doesn't want to change jobs."

"Thank Liyun for me."

Long Zichen raised his eyebrows slightly, and said angrily, "Why didn't you thank me?"

"Uh! Thank you too." Wang Xiaohu grinned awkwardly and said, "Which one of us is with whom? You need to be so polite."

"Humph."

Leslie Cheung in the back seat was surprised by their flirtatious way of working. Since he joined Lisheng Records, it was the first time he had seen the proprietress so cute and feminine. You must know that Long Zichen Externally, she has always maintained the image of a strong woman.

After a while, Leslie Cheung remembered one thing: "Boss, isn't it me who sings the theme song of "A Hero's True Colors"? Uncle Zhan and Uncle Hui have prepared the lyrics and music, why did you invite Luo Dayou?"

This is what Leslie Cheung can't understand. After all, singing is his only specialty at present. If even the theme song is taken away, his position in Lisheng will also be challenged.

"You are still in charge of singing the theme song "Love in the Past." Seeing his misunderstanding, Long Zichen hurriedly explained: "We asked Luo Dayou to be in charge of one of the episodes, and Ah Hu said that without that episode, the meaning of the whole movie will be greatly reduced .”

Leslie Cheung let out an "oh", and his heart finally settled down.

After arriving at Xiehe International, Xia Houmo was already waiting at the front desk. Seeing the three of Wang Xiaohu coming in, he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Brother Hu, the recording studio is ready, when will it start?"

"Ah."

Xia Houmo's work efficiency is getting faster and faster, Wang Xiaohu nodded in approval, "You take Shizai to record songs first, where is Luo Dayou?"

"VIP reception room." After Xia Houmo finished speaking, he led Leslie Cheung to record the song.

"Mr. Luo, let's make a long story short. This time I recruited you. On the one hand, there is a new film that needs your help to complete the episode. On the other hand, I have heard about your musical accomplishments for a long time, and I want you to develop in Hong Kong."

Wang Xiaohu now likes to go straight to the point. After all, the company has a lot of things to deal with, and he has to make arrangements for his trip to the United States in a week.

With excitement on his face, Luo Dayou got up and said, "Mr. Wang, Liyun has explained everything to me. I am very honored to be able to join Lisheng Records. Thank you and Ms. Long for watching."

"Happy." Wang Xiaohu clapped his hands and handed over a printed document: "Here, this is my request for the episode of the new film. I want a group of innocent and lovely children to pray for a beautiful peace with their sincere singing. Mainly The action scene in this movie is too violent, we have to convey a good wish, the past and the present cannot be changed, only tomorrow can be changed... not to mention the chorus of children, children themselves represent hope!"

"Tomorrow will be better?" Luo Dayou asked after reading the document.

"Yes, it's "Tomorrow Will Be Better"" Wang Xiaohu suddenly slapped his thigh, and said excitedly: "This is the title of the episode, right, right, how come I forgot."

Back then, Wang Xiaohu couldn’t forget this episode in "The True Colors of Heroes". It sounds catchy, but this girl doesn’t know the title of the song. If he knew the title and the complete lyrics, how could he invite the original creator Luo Dayou? He did it himself. Isn't it better?
However, he was too busy and didn't have the time and thought to toss about it. Instead of doing that, he might as well let the creator of the song create it.

"The True Colors of Heroes" itself describes a dirty society. When the law can't solve the problem and the most tragic method is used to end it, listen to the child's babbling and immature child voice singing "Tomorrow will be better" "Okay" don't have any feelings.

It seems to be the foreshadowing of the eve of the war, the calm before the storm, that kind of feeling cannot be sung by ordinary singers or singing groups.

What's more, "Tomorrow Will Be Better" echoes the English title "A-Better-Tomorrow" of "The True Colors of Heroes".

Heroes and knights, the spirit of the rivers and lakes, are just our wandering childhood dreams.
Therefore, the wonderful performances of Chow Yun-fat, Ti Lung, Leslie Cheung, Li Zixiong, Zhu Baoyi, Zeng Jiang and others are not outstanding, and Leslie Cheung's "Love in the Past" is not perfect. Only with "Tomorrow will be better", Only in this way can the artistic conception of the whole movie be raised to a higher level.

After all, John Woo these days doesn't know how to let go of the white pigeons. "Tomorrow will be better" is an indispensable part of the film.

"A group of innocent and lively children?" Luo Dayou frowned, and after thinking for a long time, he recommended: "Mr. Wang, there is a children's choir established in Taiwan in the 70s. Although they have been singing cartoon theme songs, I think They should be able to do it."

"Oh? What's your name?" Wang Xiaohu asked.

Luo Dayou said: "Songjiang Children's Choir."

"Zichen, did you hear that, send someone to dig it up quickly!"
