Chapter 0654 - Mature Style "Jingwu Hero"
This kind of improvement is actually the cultivation of personal qualities, including language and even thought, especially the latter, in preparation for entering the bigger stage of Hollywood.
You must know that whether it is in reality or in the movie, it is impossible to be brave and ruthless in style for a long time, and there must always be a little bit of style in it. Just like in the original time and space, Jet Li finally chose the movie "Huo Yuanjia" to make a summary for himself.
Of course, Li Lianjie, who is young now, can't realize a little yet, but Tang Huan is satisfied enough. Because the other party knows how to advance and retreat, guard against arrogance and rashness, and does not have the struggle of young and famous, the "Li Family Class" assigned to him is running in an orderly manner, which is a good test.
For another example, Tang Huan opened a chain of sports clubs in California, and martial arts is one of the activities, and Li Lianjie has to make a special trip to participate in the theme activities it holds every year, which sometimes inevitably affects the business of the local Chinese martial arts gym, but he can maintain a humble attitude in the face of the provocation that comes to him, and has not been involved in such disputes, which is enough to show that he has a grasp of the size.
Sylvester Stallone was also present when watching "Heroes of the Martial Arts", which has two heavyweight movies this year - one is the sequel to "First Blood", which has already been released and has been very good at the box office; The other is the upcoming "Rocky 4", which is a successful series of films like "007" under Luen Mei, and its commercial performance is also optimistic.
Tang Huan deliberately brought these two people together, naturally hoping that they could generate a spark of cooperation on their own.
When "Jingwu Heroes" began to be broadcast, Sylvester Stallone, and the people in charge of the operation of the film market. I was immediately intrigued.
Under the creation of Tang Huan. Li Lianjie is registered in the United States. Similar to Cheng Long, although he did not become popular, he left a deep impression on industry insiders and some fans with his distinctive personal characteristics.
is different from the Chinese costume images in the previous two "Fang Shiyu" and three "Huang Feihong", Li Lianjie, who played Chen Zhen in "Jingwu Heroes", has a small flat head, a tunic suit, and a sharp gaze. Make these people feel bright.
Compared with the current works on the theme of national hatred and family hatred, the portrayal of Japan at that time in "Jingwu Heroes" is not facial, but strives to be objective, such as the protest of Japanese students against the emperor at the beginning of the movie, and the conflict with the Black Dragon Society, which is a manifestation.
It can be said that such a screenwriter is an inevitable choice to adapt to the rules of the world game and move towards the international stage.
American filmmakers, who are more familiar with Chinese-language films, immediately noticed this internal change and nodded frequently. And Chen Zhen, who had just appeared on the stage, taught those troublesome disciples in the classroom. The hand is crisp and neat, which is pleasing to the eye. There was a whisper of admiration.
"Is there really such a kung fu?" Seeing the dislocated jaws, calves, arms and other parts of the Black Dragon Society disciples in the movie, Sylvester Stallone asked in surprise.
Tang Huan smiled and said casually, "You can find time with JetLi to discuss." ”
The configuration of the movie "Jingwu Heroes" is still very good, just take the cast as an example, several Japanese artists were invited to star, such as the Japanese girl Mitsuko Yamada, who has a good impression of Chen Zhen, is played by Miho Nakayama newly excavated by Warner Japan; The actor of Fumio Funakoshi, the head coach of the Black Dragon Society, is a veteran actor who has been in the Xiangjiang film industry for many years; As for the villain Fujitaoka, it is the fighting champion Zhou Billy who has not tasted defeat in the ring of Xiangjiang Stormwind City.
In addition, the martial arts design of "Jingwu Heroes" is Yuan Heping; The soundtrack composer is Gu Jiahui; In the case of very complete preparations, the requirements for directors are not so harsh, and the long-term cooperation of Yuan Kui and other "Li Jiaban" is enough to complete.
There is no denying that "Jingwu Heroes" is a new version of Bruce Lee's classic film "Jingwumen" in 1972, which has been exclusively beautiful.
Fortunately, DreamWorks has enough power in Xiangjiang, but there is no need to be afraid of various pressures, including doubts, and directly reshoots the wonderful fight scene of Chen Zhen's solo entry into the Hongkou Dojo in the name of tribute.
The times are developing, people's aesthetics are also changing, and the slow pace of more than ten years ago will inevitably be unable to keep up with the audience's taste, and Chen Zhen played by Li Lianjie is fierce and defeats the enemy with one move.
Seeing Chen Zhen's punch hitting the Japanese samurai in the Hongkou Dojo like the wind, the center of the foot, the inside of the legs, the ribs, the face door and other vulnerable places, the middle of the man all screamed and fell to the ground, and many people were full of blood at the same time, they all inhaled cold air, as if they had been beaten.
After a dizzying brawl, Akutagawa Ryuichi, the owner of the Hongkou Dao Stadium, arrived and conducted a fair competition from the standpoint of a pure martial artist, which can be regarded as pulling the rhythm of the movie back to the so-called universal values, after all, movies and TV series are not the same.
What is a bit unexpected, but also amazing, is that in addition to showcasing traditional Chinese kung fu, "Jingwu Heroes" also introduces elements such as Western boxing, and when Chen Zhen and Fumio Funakoshi compete, the effect can be called fascinating.
In particular, seeing that Fumio Funakoshi's eyes were affected by the wind and sand, Chen Zhen proposed the setting of a blindfold martial arts competition for the sake of fairness, which intensified the freshness of the viewing. And in this process, the two sides interfered with each other with wits and courage, and the humor displayed was also unbearable.
After the movie ended with a tragic and spectacular Armageddon, as the lights turned on, everyone who watched the movie sent a warm applause and praise, and the main members of the "Jingwu Heroes" crew who felt this atmosphere were all overjoyed
After everyone's opinions are summarized, it is nothing more than one point, that is, with the foreshadowing of the previous movies, the style is more unique "Jingwu Heroes", and the prospects are naturally more optimistic.
However, in the eyes of people like Sylvester Stallone, who are actors, directors and other professions, it is not so simple, and the overall recession in Hollywood in recent years is not because the movie is not as attractive to the audience as before, and the introduction of oriental real kung fu elements such as Jet Li. It's a good way to add a lot of grace. What's more, the big boss Tang Huan is also contributing to this matter.
Tang Huan is also very satisfied with "Jingwu Heroes". He even joked to his subordinates: "I wonder what will happen to this movie after it is operated in Japan?" ”
Since everyone watching the movie was unanimously optimistic about the commercial value of "Jingwu Heroes", the following procedures were completed overnight, Tang Huan no longer paid attention to it, but deliberately cared about Li Lianjie's personal affairs. "I heard, you're already having a girlfriend?"
"It's my senior sister." Li Lianjie scratched his head embarrassedly, "I haven't thought about it yet, I plan to take advantage of my youth now and put my mind on my career first." ”
Tang Huan smiled slightly when he heard this. "It's not easy for you to come out of the mainland to work hard, and there is always a bit of a gap between you and the circle of Xiangjiang, so it is more and more important to be considerate of yourself and the rear. You should also understand some of the survival states of Xiangjiang martial artists and action stars at this stage, danger is always inevitable, and even in order not to affect future fertility, some medical refrigerated sperm will be done. In fact, starting a family as soon as possible is not the best career guarantee. ”
Speaking of this, Tang Huan also twisted his fingers, "My red envelopes can't wait." ”
Jet Li during this period of recuperation. I sorted out my injuries, and it was really shocking. So. He almost regarded Tang Huan as a life coach, so he listened to these suggestions, nodded with a smile, and said, "Then I'll take advantage of this free time to think about it." ”
……
In addition to films that focus on commercial interests, Tang Huan asked about the works that work hard for the Oscars every year, and the representative of them is "Out of Africa".
At this time, Hu Yinmeng specially called and asked: "Although you can't attend the first Miss Chinese Universe Contest here in Xiangjiang in person, you still have to stand up and cheer through satellite live broadcast." ”
Tang Huan grinned when he heard this, "The time difference between Xiangjiang and the West Coast of the United States is so big, you still won't let me rest?" ”
"Then I don't care." Hu Yinmeng directly said: "The reason why Miss Xiangjiang is so successful is because she has many years of experience; In contrast, no matter how carefully prepared the first Miss Chinese Universe contest is, there are also inconsiderate places, if you don't contribute at this time, can you still count on others? ”
Tang Huan immediately quipped: "But as far as I know, you have invited quite luxurious guests to judge, which is no worse than the previous Miss Xiangjiang, what He gambling king, Huo Zhu Lingling, the champion of the 1977 Miss Xiangjiang election, is on the list." ”
"But you didn't just participate in Miss Xiangjiang and snubbed your own Sister Hua." Hu Yinmeng continued to complain.
was noisy for a while, Tang Huan could only agree: "Then I will go out and not sleep in the early morning, wait for the live broadcast, and show up on Media Asia TV." ”
The reason why Tang Huan was not interested in the first Sister Hua Contest was because he saw the names of Li Yanshan, Ye Yuqing, Pan Xianyi and others from the information.
Originally, in time and space, the first two were well-known artists, and the latter was the agent of the Beyond band, both of whom were relatively successful in their careers, but because of this, they didn't have much novelty for Tang Huan.
This also reflects that no matter how the name, purpose and other strategies change, this beauty pageant, which is essentially inevitably going head-to-head with Miss Hong Kong, will still overlap with the original time and space, otherwise some popular candidates would not be so original.
It is not difficult to understand that the Miss Hong Kong contest, which has been held for many years, has been well recognized by Hong Kong people, and the winners are eligible to represent Hong Kong in international beauty pageants such as Miss Universe, Miss World, and Miss International. And the newborn Sister Hua Contest has a lot of things to do from scratch.
For example, the first session should design specifications and processes, and at the same time, compared with the Miss Hong Kong election, there are more additional content such as competition areas outside Hong Kong, live TV broadcasts, etc.
And so on and so forth. In order to ensure that there are no surprises, it is only natural that the contestants will still be given priority to Hong Kong people for the time being.
……
On August 31, the final of the first Miss Chinese Universe Contest was held at the Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts. With Tang Huan's active investment, its hardware construction is quite complete, and the opera house alone can accommodate 1,500 people, and this is the main venue.
Because the time of the Hua Sister Competition was chosen to be held in the summer vacation, the students of the Heung Kong Academy of Performing Arts took advantage of the convenience to participate in a large number of people, which can be regarded as mutual benefit and the best of both worlds.
In addition to Media Asia TV, Chinese TV stations in Southeast Asia and Canada also jointly participated in the live broadcast. Also because of the time difference, the live broadcast of Canadian Chinese TV is destined to be unpopular, and the focus will be on video replay, which will inevitably waste satellite resources.
However, it is this atmospheric and rare joint live broadcast method that has invisibly put on an aura of influence for the Miss Chinese Universe Contest, no matter what the actual results are, anyway, at least the celebrities in Hong Kong are very interested in this different big platform.
After Tang Huan said a few words of hope and blessings through the satellite connection, the finals of the first Miss Chinese Universe Contest began, and all the beauties appeared on the stage.
What is a little embarrassing is that the candidates from other competition areas in Xiangjiang, such as the Philippines and Malaysia, were almost eliminated in the semi-finals process, one is that the economy is developed is the boss, and the superiority of the Xiangjiang Center is secretly blamed, and on the other hand, the quality of these people really can't stand the test, which is also a mistake in this year's Huajie Competition.
The emcee of the conference, Liu Zhirong, Zeng Qingyu, and the guest emcee Chen Baixiang, Yan Hao, and Shi Yangde, as the participating beauties appeared, and then introduced the guest jury composed of seven celebrities such as He Gambling King, and then officially entered the competition.
However, in terms of details, the Hua Sister Contest also has its own characteristics, such as the introduction of computer statistical scores, which are published on the big screen in the form of a histogram, and even a Fangyuan computer and printer are placed.
