Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    After getting up, Wang Xu practiced Baguazhang outside the tent.  [ This set of Baguazhang was learned from Zhang Jin while filming "Macau Storm". At that time, a martial arts master was hired to learn some Shaolin boxing for the filming of the action movie.  He has been practicing Baguazhang for more than a year and has gradually realized the benefits. Of course, this benefit is just that his body has become healthier.  (Please note that the main character practices martial arts only for physical exercise and for filming. There will be no plots from martial arts novels in the book.) Wang Xu still has some basic martial arts skills, which is why he can act in "The Romance of Dragon and Snake"  The protagonist Wang Dong is confident. Of course, with his current level of Baguazhang, he can't play it. At least he himself feels that he still lacks the temperament of a warrior.  Soldiers have a strong-spirited temperament that protects their home and country, and warriors also have an unyielding character and a sense of righteousness.  Just like Ip Man played by Donnie Yen, he is righteous and not afraid of power.  Wang Xu felt that he still lacked such temperament, and he considered studying with a Baguazhang teacher for another year and a half.  After making the decision, I made a phone call to Zhang Jin.  "Hey, Sledgehammer, is there anything wrong with calling so early?" Zhang Jin had just gotten up, and Wang Xu got straight to the point and explained the reason.  Zhang Jin understood, patted his chest and said: "Okay, let me introduce you to a master of Baguazhang." It is not a new thing for celebrities to learn martial arts from their apprentices in the entertainment industry. Tony Leung, Zhang Ziyi, and Chang Chen were filming Wong Kar-wai's "The Grandmaster"  They are all serious apprentices, and they all start from a blank sheet of paper, from basic skills to moves, from strength training to flexibility training, from routine training to actual combat training, from "kung fu amateurs" to "grand masters"  " process.  Wong Kar-Wai invited Mr. Liang Shaohong, the last personal disciple of Ip Man, to personally teach Tony Leung Chiu-wai Wing Chun boxing principles and demonstration techniques; Mr. Gong Er, the northern female master played by Zhang Ziyi, is the successor of Baguazhang.  In order to create Zhang Ziyi, the northern female master, Wong Kar-wai invited four Baguazhang teachers to teach Zhang Ziyi Baguazhang.  Pay the most and work hardest.  The one who worked the hardest was Zhang Zhen.  For the filming of "The Grandmaster", in 2009, Zhang Zhen officially became a disciple, submitted a post, and followed Teacher Wang Shiquan, the eighth generation successor of Baji Quan and president of the Beijing Baji Quan Association, to practice eight-level boxing for three years.  He has practiced to such an extent that before the movie was released, he was already "out of the woods".  Zhang Zhen competed with Baji boxers from all over the country in a national Bajiquan competition in Changchun and finally won the first prize.  Wang Xu entrusted the matter of apprenticeship to his good friend Zhang Jin. After hanging up the phone, he saw Chen He coming over with a happy face and said, "What happy event is there to smile so lewdly?" Chen He smiled and said:  "You guessed it right, the ratings of the second episode of our program exploded." It turned out that he was talking about "Running Brothers". The program became popular after the first episode was aired on August 2. A week has passed.  The number of on-demand views on Youdou.com exceeded 30 million.  Programs such as "Tian Tian Shang Shang" and "Happy Camp" only get more than 8 million views per week.  The second episode of the program was aired last night, but Wang Xu forgot to follow it.  Asked: "I went to bed early last night and forgot about this. What's the ratings?" "2.3%, awesome!" "Oh~~ That's really awesome." Wang Xu exclaimed, now  There are so many variety shows, but there are no more than 10 programs nationwide with ratings that can break 1, and only "Where Are We Going, Dad", "I Am a Singer" and the first season of "The Voice of China" that have broken 2.  After posting a Weibo message to congratulate the show on its popularity, Wang Xu and Chen He chatted for a few words.  Chen He talked about some of his experiences in filming this time. He said: "Movies have much higher requirements on actors than TV. The director is very demanding on every detail. Yesterday, I made a look three or four times."  ¡± Chen He is right, this is the feeling that every TV actor will have when they act in a movie for the first time.  A 30-episode TV series takes three to five months to complete, so it is impossible to craft it carefully, and the TV screen is very small, unlike the big screen like a movie.  The audience can notice some of the actors' subtle expressions.  "Speaking of gains, I also learned a lot of acting skills from you, captain." Chen He didn't mean to flatter him. He is a comedian, so he can naturally learn something by acting with the King of Comedy.  .  The Yantou played by Chen He is a comedy character, and it is easy for him to do it.  Wang Xu patted Chen He on the shoulder.  She also admired his talent in comedy performances and said with a smile: "Don't be modest, have you had breakfast?" "Not yet." "Then you can eat at my place. I brought a soymilk machine. I have it."  Drink freshly ground soy milk. " "Wow, that's great."  Time passed by a week ago, and Zhuang Xiaodie's scenes were over, and there were still some reshoots for Wang Xu's scenes.At the beginning, it is expected to be completed in three days.  This day Chen Ruan came and brought good news.  Golden Hammer Films bought the film and television rights to "The Romance of Dragon and Snake" for 2 million, a price Wang Xu was quite satisfied with.  In 2013, the film and television rights of popular online novels have not aroused the interest of major film companies, but by next year the market has completely changed. The adaptation rights of the top 50 novels on Baidu's search list have all been snatched up by various film and television companies.  , as soon as they appear on the list, they will be robbed. 2 million is the starting price, and the film and television copyrights of some well-known authors have been sold to tens of millions.  Wang Xu felt that it was necessary to take advantage of the opportunity to acquire the copyrights of a batch of works, so he made a list of nearly 50 novels, covering themes such as fantasy, tomb robbing, science fiction, youth love, etc. and gave it to Chen Ruan to take back to the company for preparation.  With a budget of 100 million, the company was instructed to buy all the film, television, animation, game and other copyrights of these novels within six months.  Anyway, regardless of whether you want to film it or not, you have to buy the copyright first. Other film companies have done the same thing. For example, "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" has sold the film and television rights long ago, and it was not until 2015 that the actual filming began.  Now that the copyright of "The Romance of Dragon and Snake" has been purchased, the next part will be adapted into a movie script. Wang Xu's principle is to make some adaptations while respecting the original work, and the general plot of the characters will not change.  He does not need to worry about the script adaptation work. The company now has a strong screenwriting team, and the author Meng Ruishenji will also participate in the adaptation work.  One of his tasks is to strengthen his martial arts training. It is best to get dedicated and targeted training from a master. This time will take at least half a year. Without rigorous practice, he will not be sure to perform the spirit of a martial artist.  "The Legend of Dragon and Snake" is not an ordinary martial arts movie that can get away with using special effects.  His second job is to find actors. If possible, he wants to gather all three kung fu superstars, Jackie Chan, Jet Li, and Donnie Yen. With Wang Xu's current status and influence, this is not a difficult task. It just depends on whether there are suitable roles in the script.  .  Everything has to wait for the script to come out before making a decision.  Three days later, Wang Xu, Zhuang Xiaodie, and Chen He all finished their scenes and left the crew of "The Lion".  Before parting, Wang Xu and Jackie Chan mentioned that he was going to make a kung fu movie and could the eldest brother help his younger brother.  Jackie Chan patted his chest and promised that if Wang Xu really wanted to make a Kung Fu movie, he would definitely help. Jackie Chan, the co-writer, thought Wang Xu was joking.  Wang Xu didn¡¯t reveal much, as long as he had the words ¡°big brother¡±.  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature. The novels will be better and updated faster!
