    786 Three Major Patterns of Kung Fu Movies

    Since the Queen can accept "Braveheart", Wang Xiaohu has to give it a serious try, otherwise I'm sorry for the Queen's kindness, right?

    After the banquet, Wang Xiaohu immediately called Spielberg and asked him to put down "Schindler's List" which was still in the preparation stage and take over the filming task of directing "Braveheart".

    "Steven, I know that interrupting the preparation of "Schindler's List" will make you unhappy, but in the preparation stage you might as well try other movies, such as "Braveheart" as I just said, which is also an epic movie.  Hero movies can not only generate revenue for the company, but also win a trophy for whatever gangster, and maybe even receive a commendation from the Queen of England."

    Wang Xiaohu has been unable to spare enough time to direct "Braveheart" in the past six months. He chose among many directors at Concord International and finally decided to let Spielberg complete this arduous task.

    At the beginning, Spielberg said that he also had no time and wanted to devote himself to making a movie that could win awards. With no other choice, Wang Xiaohu began to forcefully feed him soup, winning awards, and receiving awards from the Queen.  thing.

    Not to mention, even though Lao Pi doesn't care about other things, he is very interested in winning awards and commendations. To put it bluntly, since following Wang Xiaohu at Concord International, several of the movies he shot have won amazing awards.  Jealousy's box office results, but no substantive reputation.

    As soon as Wang Xiaohu mentioned the benefits, Lao Pi took the bait.

    "Boss, what are your requirements for the script and actors?" Lao Pi became energetic and his enthusiasm was unprecedentedly high.

    "The script will be mailed to you tomorrow. There is only one mandatory requirement for the actors. Mel Gibson is the male lead, and you can choose other supporting roles and actresses as you see fit." Wang Xiaohu said.

    In a previous life, Mel Gibson was both director and star in "Braveheart" and won several Oscars. Wang Xiaohu wouldn't let him be the director, so he had to be the star, right?

    "Mel Gibson?" Lao Pi repeated the name: "A very strange guy. Is he registered with the Screen Actors Guild?"

    "That should be your scope of work. I am only responsible for investment and scripts, haha." Wang Xiaohu acted as the hands-on shopkeeper and gave it to Lao Pi to handle it all.

    "God, you know I'm the worst at selecting actors!" Lao Pi shouted in pain on the phone: "Okay, for the sake of the benefits you promised, I'll make it difficult for you again!"

    "Fake, I can still raise a group of freeloaders?" Wang Xiaohu said: "You must be cheering in your heart, because you can legitimately travel to Scotland at public expense. Good guy, I heard that the scenery there is very beautiful, and the Scottish bagpipes are intoxicating  ¡±

    "Thank you, boss, for providing the travel opportunity!" Lao Pi accepted the offer.

    "By the way, this film may need some war scenes. I will shoot a few action directors to coordinate with you." Wang Xiaohu thought for a while and added: "Yuan Heping, who has participated in "Myth" and "Mulan", you should listen  Can you tell me his name?"

    "Of course!" Lao Pi exclaimed excitedly: "It's great to have him help. I can reduce a lot of headaches."

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? In the industry, there are only two things that worry about him: one is choosing actors, and the other is action scenes.  When working with Lucas on "Raiders of the Lost Ark", whenever there was an action scene, he would just give it up and leave it to Lucas and the martial arts instructor sent from Hong Kong to handle it.

    Having solved Lao Pi¡¯s biggest headache, the next work will be much easier.

    Early the next morning, Wang Xiaohu asked someone to send the script to the United States. In fact, the script was already detailed enough. Whether it was the plot or the war scenes, the task left for Spielberg was to combine the costumes, props, and architecture of medieval Scotland and England.  Style, customs, and things like weapons related to war.

    ¡°Making a war epic is the most tiring thing. Anyway, Wang Xiaohu has already tried it several times and doesn¡¯t want to mess with it anymore.

    By mid-August, "Ip Man 2" ended its month-long first-round screening. When it ended, the local box office in Hong Kong reached HK$2,200, and the global cumulative box office reached US$56 million, which is considered a golden pot.

    Wang Xiaohu took the time to bring the Hong Kong Wing Chun sect elites to Foshan, Guangdong to start cultural exchanges between Hong Kong and mainland Wing Chun sects.

    ??The Mainland Wing Chun School naturally supports it with both hands. Who doesn¡¯t want to become the next Shaolin Temple?  Regardless of the fact that Xingyimen, Bagua, Tai Chi, Baji, Stamp Foot and other martial arts have begun to establish schools with the help of the government, the work efficiency and investment funds in mainland China are still limited after all, and many martial arts culture promotions have to be completed by individuals from the martial arts.  .

    It is inevitable that the Wing Chun sects in mainland China will directly take Wang Xiaohu¡¯s express train and merge into the global Wing Chun promotion organization to select a group.?The young backbone teaches in several pilot Wing Chun schools in Asia.

    The reason why it is a trial run is because the backbone of the mainland Wing Chun sect has an average level of seriousness among Wang Xiaohu, Bruce Lee, Huang Chunliang and others. This may be related to the domestic peaceful environment and lack of more practical experience.

    "Uncle, please select a few elites from overseas Wing Chun schools to help. These few have only learned the training method and have little fighting experience." Wang Xiaohu whispered to Huang Chunliang.

    Huang Chunliang nodded and said with some emotion: "When Wing Chun was introduced to Hong Kong from Foshan, I didn't expect that as the birthplace, there were very few Yongchun masters here."

    "This is already pretty good!" Bruce Lee interjected: "Other martial arts have even been forced to disappear, leaving only Xingyi, Tai Chi, Bagua, and Baji sects that still have good inheritance. Hey, if you want to be in the  I saw mainland Chinese at the MMA event. The task is too difficult, Xiaohu, aren¡¯t you torturing me?¡±

    ¡°The more difficult it is, the more it reflects your superhuman qualities.¡± Wang Xiaohu smiled carelessly.

    The three of them stayed in Foshan for a few more days. On the one hand, they went through relevant promotion procedures and on the other hand, they promoted a few talented players. There was no other way. In the eyes of practical masters like the three, the elites in Foshan were like kindergartens.  The little kid is vulnerable!

    After returning to Hong Kong, the movie "Kung Fu Emperor Fang Shiyu" starring Jet Li happened to be released. There was no change in the script of this movie, but there was a slight adjustment in the cast. For example, Thunder Tiger was played by Ng Man-tat, and this guy was in "Hong Xi".  The supporting role played in "The Official" is very brilliant, and I will continue to play the golden supporting role without hesitation.

    In the original version, Lei Tingting, the daughter of Lei Hu, was played by Michelle Reis. However, after investigation, it was discovered that Michelle Reis was only 13 years old and a standard little girl. Therefore, director Yuan Kui suggested that Maggie Cheung, the runner-up of Miss Hong Kong this year, should play the role.

    Dorgon was played by Yu Rongguang.

    In addition, the role of Li Xiaohuan is also a newcomer, and Hu Huizhong, who was recruited by Wang Xiaohu not long after his debut, plays the leading role.

    It can be said that in addition to Jet Li who has starred in "Shaolin Temple" and "North and South Shaolin" and Yu Rongguang who is experienced in acting in "Mulan" and "Kapok Kasaya", both Maggie Cheung and Hu Huizhong are newcomers, and Yuan Kui is also the first  Become a director for the first time.

    The new director led a group of new actors. Although there were some doubts from the outside, with Wang Xiaohu as the producer and producer, and the publicity work was done well, the attendance rate of New Century Cinema reached more than 85%.

    After the movie was released, although Miao Cuihua played by Xiao Fangfang stole a lot of limelight from Jet Li, Jet Li's version was quite successful in portraying Fang Shiyu, who is smart and naughty and has a clear distinction between love and hate. The mother and son played by Xiao Fangfang and Jet Li continued to bring joy to the audience.

    However, it was the martial arts scenes that really attracted everyone. Jet Li and Hu Huizhong competed on the heads of the crowd, jumping up and down to show off their elegant postures. The fight between Yu Rongguang and Jet Li in the low mezzanine of the execution platform was  It is a quick and easy way to win with dexterity; coupled with the long stick versus short stick attack between Li and Yu in the dyeing workshop, the ingenious contrast of one high and one low, one short and one long is really dazzling and breathtaking.  !

    "Ahu, how do you feel?" Yuan Kui, who was a director for the first time, was more nervous than the actors. From time to time, he asked Wang Xiaohu about his thoughts on the shots and editing.

    "Yes, in the final fight, the inlay, mid-shot and quick editing of short shots were in place. The big shots were evenly distributed in the normal fight. The 10-second confrontation was interspersed with dialogue, which divided the fight scene into  There are two tense parts, front and back.¡±

    Wang Xiaohu commented on the role of action director. Overall, the results of the collaboration between brothers Yuan Kui and Yuan De were very gratifying. At least they fully absorbed the experience they learned when filming "Hong Xi Guan" and maintained their "intense rhythm.  The style of "get to the end quickly", the entire set of action plot editing also maintains a "pendulum-style layout and interspersed elements outside of fighting".

    Wang Xiaohu can¡¯t fault Wang Xiaohu at all. If he really wants to make a point, it¡¯s that Hu Huizhong¡¯s appearance is too young. However, as long as he doesn¡¯t talk about the original version, the audience will think that Lei Huizhong has a younger daughter-in-law. This is still true in a feudal society.  Very popular.

    After the movie was played, the audience in the theater began to applaud. Wang Xiaohu patted Yuan Kui on the shoulder and said, "Take everyone up to thank you. After today, there is another action director in the Hong Kong film industry. Congratulations to both of you."

    "There is one more action star." Yuan De said with a smile and hugged Jet Li.

    Jet Li smiled and said nothing.

    Wang Xiaohu looked at Maggie Cheung and Wu Huizhong behind him and said in his heart, not only is there an action director and an action star, they are two action stars. Hu Huizhong is the king of Hong Kong movies, and Maggie Cheung is a movie queen. Haha, from now on.  The good days are still there.

      Starting tonight, the pattern of Hong Kong Kung Fu movies has changed. Sammo Hung, Jackie Chan, and Yuen Biao will face new opponents such as Jet Li, Yuen Kui, and Yuen Tak.

    Risk-taking, unrestrained and elegant, two different styles of kung fu movies are beginning to carve up the cake of the Hong Kong film industry. I believe that in a few days, Donnie Yen, who is Wang Xiaohu¡¯s lover, will also join the competition.
