new kung fu king

Chapter 87

As Wang Xiaohu told Yuan Heping, the background of the story of "Righteous Hero" was set in the early Republic of China. According to his original idea, it was to reproduce the classic fighting scenes in the film, but after searching over and over in his brain several times, finally He found sadly that even with the same movement and the same age, because the director and the martial arts instructor have different understandings of the script, the movements designed are very different.

"Hey! Forget it, what are you trying to do? Just redesign the action scenes of this film?" Wang Xiaohu shook his head with some headaches, and decided not to consider designing actions through memories. The boulder that blocked his heart was removed, and there was a sudden enlightenment in an instant.

Just like in real life, there is no martial arts action that deviates from the prescribed plot. Even if it is designed, it will give the audience a very unreal feeling. The punches and kicks of the characters in the fight are based on the actor's own situation, and the fighting scenes complement each other. .That is to say, if the two people in the fight are in different psychological plots at that time, the resulting actions will be different.

After Wang Xiaohu completed the action design of "Fist of Fury", he sat down at his desk overnight to summarize his experience in martial arts guidance. After all, he could not rely on plagiarism and copying to perfect those classics back then. Fist of Fury is no longer the version I saw in my previous life. The martial arts movements of the three versions are very different, especially the Jet Li version of Chen Zhen, who is a pacifist in a Chinese tunic suit. There is a big contrast in the anti-Japanese character, so when designing the martial arts action at the beginning, I tried my best to modify a lot of actions, increasing my deep understanding of Chen Zhen, and making the three versions of Chen Zhen's martial arts style as similar as possible, giving people A sense of continuity.

"The Way of the Dragon" was about to start. As the film's martial arts director and screenwriter, Wang Xiaohu had to stop working on the action design of "The Righteous Hero", and was dragged by Bruce Lee to hold a press conference.

The location of this press conference was not chosen in Golden Harvest's meeting room, but was forced to be held by Wang Xiaohu in the "Bruce Lee Restaurant". Zou Wenhuai and Bruce Lee expressed some criticisms about this, but Wang Xiaohu curled his lips and said: "The restaurants are all The decoration is finished, and the opening time has not been selected yet, choosing a date is worse than hitting the date, let's do it today!"

When Bruce Lee scolded him with a smile, "ghost, profiteer, capitalist", Wang Xiaohu shrugged his shoulders in disapproval, saying that it is a waste of resources not to be used. Now he spends as little as he can. 》It seems that it is not too much to take the opportunity to promote your own restaurant during the boot.

A group of media reporters rushed to Bruce Lee’s restaurant with all their efforts, sweating profusely, and prepared to interview the crew of "Way of the Dragon" with various machines, but they were startled by the deafening sound of firecrackers after they got off the car. A group of people stared wide-eyed and didn't know what kind of battle it was.

"Is there any mistake, it's just a launching ceremony, it's so grand!"

"Yes, I heard that this time Bruce Lee threatened to go to Europe to shoot scenes. This is the first film in Hong Kong film history to go to Europe to shoot scenes. Such a grand scene is quite reasonable."

"Then we will have to ask more about the investment in this film."

While the reporters were discussing in low voices, the entrance of "Bruce Lee Restaurant" suddenly became lively. Not only the reporters who came to interview after hearing the news, but also many fans of Bruce Lee, they asked for the address early in the morning. As far as the surrounding area is concerned, the noise just now was made by movie fans, because they saw Bruce Lee in a formal suit with sunglasses smiling and waving.

"Little Tiger, why are there so many people here today?" Seeing nearly a hundred enthusiastic movie fans, Bruce Lee tilted his head slightly and said softly to Wang Xiaohu who was standing beside him.

Wang Xiaohu laughed softly and said, "Maybe they feel that you haven't appeared in front of the media for a long time, and they miss you too much."

"Really?" Hearing what Wang Xiaohu said, Bruce Lee could only shake his head with a wry smile, and continued to show his trademark smile at the fans.

Wang Xiaohu was secretly laughing. If Bruce Lee knew that in order to increase the popularity of the restaurant, he would send Yuen Biao and others to spread the news that "Bruce Lee's restaurant will open in two days. , I don't know if he will fly into a rage, it is obvious that he is playing his banner again this time, and he is still kept in the dark.

Naturally, it is necessary to hire a lion dance team to add to the fun when the restaurant opens. However, in order to save money, Wang Xiaohu directly let the members of the Seven Little Fortunes come to the lion dance team. Yuan Heping, who has been in the film and television industry for many years, played a great role this time. He sent martial arts masters, but he often exchanged experience with Liu Jialiang and other southern martial arts instructors. He also learned [-]% to [-]% of the southern martial arts lion dance. Amid the crackling firecrackers, brothers Yuan Heping and Yuan Xiangren appeared first, followed by Sammo Hung , Yuen Biao and the others all looked different for a while.

Wang Xiaohu asked Yuan Qiu to come up with a tray, on which were placed four scissors with red ribbons, and said with a smile: "Boss Zou, Brother Xiaolong, and Sister Axiu, it's almost time, please help cut the ribbon!"

Zou Wenhuai, Bruce Lee, and Miao Kexiu picked up the scissors from the tray upon hearing this.

Another burst of firecrackers sounded, the sound of gongs and drums was deafening, the lions danced happily in front of the door, and the four cut the ribbon smoothly amidst the joyful sound.

"Gong Xi Fa Cai!" The three of Bruce Lee cupped their hands at Wang Xiaohu. Wang Xiaohu smiled back, then waved his right hand naturally into the restaurant and said, "Welcome, here are the red envelopes."

Miao Kexiu pursed her lips and laughed teasingly, "Ah Hu, did someone tell you that you smell like copper all over your body now?"

Zou Wenhuai just laughed and didn't speak. Bruce Lee pointed at Wang Xiaohu with his index finger, and walked into the restaurant first as if helpless.

When the movie fans outside saw the four people walking into the restaurant, they immediately rushed in, almost knocking out the door of the restaurant.

"Don't grab it, this is the seat I took."

"This seat does not belong to your family, whoever sits first counts."

This kind of noise kept coming and going, and the fans wanted to fight for a seat, which exhausted the brothers and sisters of Qi Xiaofu. At this time, they played the role of waiters again, and went around to try to persuade them to fight.

"There were so many people on the first day of opening, it seems that today's revenue must be indispensable." Bruce Lee is not good at management, but he can guess the general idea through the overcrowded hall.

"Waiter, I want to order a dish made by Bruce Lee himself!"

"May I ask what dish you want to eat?"

"Whatever, as long as it was made by Bruce Lee himself."

Bruce Lee, who was going up the stairs, moved his ears, immediately turned around and looked at Wang Xiaohu suspiciously, and said, "What does this mean?"

Wang Xiaohu grinned, and when he was thinking about how to deal with Bruce Lee, Yuen Biao's voice came from outside the restaurant: "Ah Hu, there is a beauty looking for you!"
