Chapter 381: Filming Again
Time flies, and more than a month has passed.
The movie script "Slaying the Wolf" written by Xu Yang formed by Luo Hong has officially started filming, and Xu Yang also started filming again with the crew "Ip Man 2" formed by Shi Fei.
I haven't been filming for a long time, and to be honest, Xu Yang's state really hasn't gotten used to it for a while.
After three days of adjustment, I slowly entered the role.
"Ip Man 2", in the final analysis, is the sequel to "Ip Man", the plot is roughly about that when he was in Foshan, Ip Man defended the dignity of the Chinese people with his fists, and did not hesitate to offend the Japanese army, resulting in the escape from Foshan.
After the war, Ip Man's family of three lived a difficult life in Foshan, so a few years later, he took his wife and children to Xiangjiang, re-established a new home, and started a new page in his life.
The Ip Man family had a very difficult life when they first came to Hong Kong, but fortunately, they were introduced by a friend and got Leung Kan, who was the editor-in-chief of the newspaper, to lend him a rooftop to teach Wing Chun.
Unfortunately, Wing Chun is unheard of for the people of Hong Kong, and no one cares about it for many days.
On the tenth day, as the sun fell, a young and vigorous young man Huang Liang broke onto the rooftop and challenged Ip Man with Western boxing, but was defeated by Ip Man within a few moves. Huang Liang felt that Ip Man was very powerful, and brought several Western boxer brothers to apprentice with Ip Man, and in this regard, Ip Man was the first batch of apprentices in Xiangjiang.
One day, Wong Leung met Cheng Wai-kee, a hooligan who claimed to be a disciple of Hung Kuan, on the street, tore up the leaflets they advertised for Wing Chun recruitment, and challenged him in a fit of anger. After Zheng Weiji was defeated by Huang Liang, he did not retaliate, and led his men to chase and kill Huang Liang with knives and capture Huang Liang into the fish pen. Ip Man went straight to the fish pen alone to save people, seeing that Zheng Weiji's men were menacing and attacking everywhere, Ip Man protected Huang Liang, and fled to the open space of the dock under the shadow of the sword, but he was shocked to see the former enemy Jin Shan looking for the same group of goo, and unexpectedly, the other party turned to help him.
At this time, Master Hong, the speaker of the fish pen, and his friend Fei Bo also came surrounded by many people and strictly pursued the murderer who injured his apprentice Zheng Weiji. Master Hung severely reprimanded Ip Man for violating the rules of the Xiangjiang martial arts world, and he had to accept the challenge of various sects within a stick of incense before he could be apprenticed. Ip Man was still hesitating, but Fat Bo, who had been watching the battle coldly, suddenly arrested Ip Man, Huang Liang and Jin Shan to find him, and Fat Bo's identity was actually a Chinese detective.
At the police station, Fat Bo handed over the money recovered from the fish pen to Superintendent Young. It turned out that Master Hung and Fei Bo were both working for foreign superintendents, governing the Chinese by "using China to control China", with Fei Bo as his entourage, and Master Hong collecting protection money for him in places such as fish pens and martial arts halls. In the prison warehouse, Jin Shan, who has reformed his ways, came to advise Ip Man that if he wants to teach apprentices in Xiangjiang, he must not have bad relations with foreigners, and if he wants to gain a foothold in the martial arts world, he must follow the rules of the martial arts world. After Ip Man was released on bail, he knew that he could not help but fight the challenge of a stick of incense, although his wife was secretly worried, but she did not obstruct it.
Finally, I accepted the challenge of a stick of incense in the restaurant. The results speak for themselves.
Dissatisfied with the insult of the Westerner boxer, Master Hong went to the ring to challenge the boxing king Tornado, and finally lost to his opponent and was killed by him.
Newspaper man Zhou Guangyao was very dissatisfied with the violent and evil acts of foreigners, and vigorously wrote and reported in the newspaper, scolding the police for shielding foreigners and racial discrimination. In order to calm down the dispute, the superintendent of the foreigner held a press conference announcing the holding of the "Huayang Boxing Tournament", so that the boxing king Tornado openly defeated the Chinese martial arts on the stage, so as to block the masses' unfair accusations against the foreigners.
At the press conference, Ip Man appeared to challenge the tornado surrounded by a full audience of reporters, vowing to regain national dignity in the ring.
In the ring, the match between Ip Man and the boxing champion was officially held, and the foreigners in the audience accounted for the majority, and the voices of cheering for Ip Man were endless. Ip Man and the boxing king started a battle of honor and disgrace, the seven-foot boxing king was full of muscles and had an advantage in physique, and Ip Man fell and rose again after a long fight, showing an unyielding spirit. The foreigners in the audience were also moved by Ip Man's tenacious fighting spirit, and gradually changed from cheering to support, and even the foreign audience was moved by his spirit, only the foreigner superintendent was deeply indignant.
Ip Man finally used Master Hong's trick to knock down the boxing king and won the applause of the audience. After Ip Man's victory, he said that this battle was not to prove that Huaguo Kung Fu was the best, but just hoped that foreigners would no longer underestimate Huaguo.
After this battle, the fame of Wing Chun spread even more loudly in Hong Kong, and countless people came to apprentice with Ip Man, from low-level coolies to famous children, and even people from different countries. Ip Man taught all the apprentices who were beginning to apprentice, which led to the rapid development of Wing Chun in Hong Kong and Southeast Asia.
The plot of this part is slightly more complicated than the first part, but the overall deviation is very well controlled.
The filming lasted for a week, and the state of the crew fully met Xu Yang's previous expectations. He is a person who strives to seek perfection, so without thinking too much, he restarted all the shots shot in front of him, which is also what happened during the first filming, and many people don't care very much, and only those actors who worked together for the first time have a deeper understanding of Xu Yang, no wonder the quality of the movies shot by their company is like that?
The average crew doesn't dare to do this, at least, the investors don't allow the director to do this, they think about less money and more box office, who would be like Xu Yang for the sake of quality, and everyone else doesn't care!
With enough running-in, the next shooting progress is much faster.
Xu Yang is busy filming a new movie, but Shen Ran of Minnan TV is a lot anxious. The reason is that in the variety show, their Minnan TV station has done a very good job, after all, they have the programs "The Masked Singer", "Love Defense", and "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb" as the foundation!
However, after Xu Yang and CCTV collapsed, somehow, the above began to suppress them, not very positive criticism, if this happens, can Shen Ran sit still?
The weakness of Minnan TV that they specially picked, that is, in addition to variety shows, no other TV station programs did well, a year or two ago, Shen Ran was not worried about this, after all, he had a script written by Xu Yang, and the broadcast of high-quality TV series filmed!
It's just that after their TV station became popular, although they were able to buy some good TV series to broadcast, the ratings were really poor, and they were less than half of the ratings of the variety show "Love Defense", which had been broadcast for more than a year.
I can't find a good TV series program, and the above is suppressing it again, Xu Yang has not written TV drama scripts in the past few years, and in an instant, Shen Ran was upset.
His idea is to make Minnan TV station thriving, but to achieve this goal, he naturally can't always do variety shows! In desperation, the more he thinks about it, the more distressed he becomes.
As for what's bothering? It's very simple, he wants to call Xu Yang to see if he can use their friendship to let Xu Yang write a TV drama script, but he himself understands that this hope is not very big, who makes the movie more charming!
