Chapter 91 The Shock of the Yuan Brothers

On February 1965, 2, Bruce Lee came to the TV film branch of Twentieth Century Fox Film Company in Hollywood, Los Angeles with great hope, to audition for the TV series "Chen Charlie's eldest son" that he was going to star in.The whole audition process lasted 4 minutes (there is a video on the Internet). In the last few minutes of the audition, Bruce Lee showed a set of movements that seemed to be juggling, one of which was the golden dragon fist designed by Wang Xiaohu in "The Way of the Dragon". .

Wang Xiaohu has never watched this audition video. After watching "Way of the Dragon", many young boys were obsessed with what Bruce Lee said, "The fourth form of Golden Dragon Fist, the little dragon asks the way, the big dragon wags its tail!" Use all your abilities to buy this set of "Golden Dragon Fist" cheats that Bruce Lee casually fabricated, and Wang Xiaohu happened to be one of them. One day, a friend who played with him mysteriously held a cheat and said to him: Look, this It is the Golden Dragon Fist created by Bruce Lee. When I learn it, I will dominate the whole village.

Thinking about how this childhood memory of myself is really similar to the plot in "Kung Fu" starring Zhou Xingchi, Wang Xiaohu smiled bitterly, shrugged and said, "Uh, is there a problem with this movement?"

"No." Bruce Lee shook his head vigorously and said, "Dude, I want to say that this action you designed is very interesting. I think that old guy Ducia will vomit blood when he sees this scene! I regret that I didn't put "Charlie Chen's First Son" in the first place. Let me play the role, which is the most effective revenge for him."

Bruce Lee continued excitedly: "Little Tiger, you may not know that the distribution company we are cooperating with this time is Twentieth Century Fox of the old Ducia. Wow, I am so excited now. I am looking forward to seeing Ducia regret it." expression."

Wang Xiaohu held his chin lightly, looked at him with some helplessness and said, "Since you are looking forward to it so much, why don't you send the action design script to other actors as soon as possible, so that they can get familiar with the action rehearsal as soon as possible. You must know that we will go to RB in mid-March. .”

"Xiao Hu, you are such a disappointment, can't you make me happy for a while?" Bruce Lee threw the orange juice heavily on the table and said, "Forget it, Norris will arrive in Hong Kong tomorrow, and we will rehearse together at that time, you must Gotta be there, you know, I won't turn it on if you're not there."

"OK, there is absolutely no problem." After Wang Xiaohu finished speaking, he asked a little absent-mindedly: "How is the contact with Rome?"

Bruce Lee's expression was not very good when he heard the words. He said: "You asked another troublesome question. Wen Huai said that Rome needs to think carefully, lest our crew mess up their precious cultural relics. In my opinion, this It’s just that the Romans didn’t understand China, they were prejudiced against us Chinese.”

"There is nothing wrong with this, it's better for you to follow up." Wang Xiaohu threw the car keys to Bruce Lee and said, "Thank you for your red open-top Mercedes. The action design of the new film has gone, and I will try to get a dividend to buy a car of the same model."

In the abandoned factory building, only brothers Wang Xiaohu and Yuan Heping were present, and the three of them had already been busy here all afternoon.

Holding a pen in his hand, Wang Xiaohu kept recording on the manuscript paper, and there were already a lot of discarded manuscript papers piled up around him.

"Ahu, you have mentioned that the background of this film is set in Shanghai during the Republic of China. Shanghai itself is a place where dragons and snakes mixed together. As far as I know, the Ax Gang was established in 1921. A gang led by Wang Yaqiao The AH Labor Death Squad, also known as the 'Ax Party'." Yuan Heping frowned and thought hard, "But I haven't done any research on AH's local martial arts, so you asked me to design moves for Yu Lao Qi. It's really embarrassing for me."

Wang Xiaohu put down the pen, sighed heavily and said, "Yes, we are not an encyclopedia, so of course it is impossible to know such details. Brother Ping, your idea of ​​designing actions based on the background of the characters is good, but you are stuck. Entered a blind spot of thinking."

"Oh?" Yuan Heping raised his head and asked seriously, "Then how should we design it?"

Wang Xiaohu laughed, stretched his waist and said: "You have been thinking that the Ax Gang was founded by AH Wang Yaqiao, but the villain in our movie is Yu Laoqi, not Wang Yaqiao, so there is no need to use AH local martial arts Design moves."

"I've thought about it carefully just now. The overall guiding ideology of our movement design is to reflect the skills of close combat and grappling." Wang Xiaohu picked up the pen again and said: "The first problem has been solved, now let's move on to the second problem. It is the realistic reason for the characters to participate in the fight. When Tang Shan just returned to Shanghai from the United States, his identity as a doctor with skillful hands and a benevolent heart determined that his initial actions were mainly to subdue the opponent, not to disable or kill him. The death of Cricket and Abang, as well as Yu Lao Qi's cruel methods to stimulate Tang Shan, made him fight with his life in the later stage, and he would not give up until he killed the other party."

"The third question: it is also the most important character relationship. After all, the impact of events on characters is still limited, and the role of character relationships is long-lasting and even attracts the audience. Therefore, after Tang Shan eloped with Xiaoqian, the fighting style here Changes will also take place, how can I put it this way, it is necessary to reveal a feeling of grief, disappointment, and desolation, especially after Xiaoqian is injured, um, one hit kills, and it is best to recruit blood."

The whole afternoon was basically like this. Wang Xiaohu sometimes communicated with Yuan Heping and sometimes talked to himself. The draft paper was densely written with his action design guidance route and the stick figure action outlined by the burst of inspiration.

This is the first time for Yuan Heping and Yuan Xiangren to communicate with Wang Xiaohu on martial arts design at such a close distance. The shock Wang Xiaohu brought to them cannot be expressed in words. It turns out that the action design of a film is still so complicated, which is not what they have always adopted. The old-fashioned concept of making up as you shoot, how to look good, how to save trouble, how to design.

From then on, the Yuan brothers admired Wang Xiaohu's five bodies, and at the same time felt lucky to be able to rely on his subordinates to study. It is foreseeable that Wang Xiaohu's movement design skills displayed this afternoon deeply affected the two.
It was after 9 o'clock in the evening when Wang Xiaohu returned home. He felt very tired, so after taking a simple bath, he leaned on the bed and held the manuscript paper to study. He still needed to reproduce the action according to the general idea of ​​the manuscript paper.

"Diringling~" The phone rang, and Wang Xiaohu picked up the phone and said, "Hello, who is it?"
