100 Little boy who steals money from his family
Originally, according to Wang Xiaohu's original intention, all the actors in "Righteous Heroes" were played by members of Seven Little Blessings, but when he studied the script over and over again, he found that his gang could not play a role, that is, the girl in the film, Little Cricket.
As the highlight of this film, the innocent character of Little Cricket has irreplaceable actions, because after she saw Tangshan and Abang's big fighting axe gang, she had the idea of learning martial arts with Abang, and frequently said something embarrassing to Abang as a little adult, with the extension of the plot, the little cricket disappeared, Tangshan and Abang tracked down, and finally Abang found the truth, but was brutally killed by Yu Laoqi.
It is the role of Little Cricket that drives the development of the whole plot and makes Abang's image plump even more, and it is his brother Yuan Biao who plays Anbang, so Wang Xiaohu had to choose a small extras on Temple Street to make silent preparations for the popularity of Yuan Biao.
When receiving this notice, Zhang Yuan asked with some confusion, Hong Kong is so big, why does Brother Tiger stipulate that an actor is selected on Temple Street, and he is still a half-old child?
Wang Xiaohu said with a smile at the time, Temple Street itself is the most distinctive street in Hong Kong, belonging to the civilian area of Kowloon, and the people living in Temple Street are also some grassroots poor people, which is similar to the Zhabei District of Shanghai described in the film, not to mention that the children who can grow up in Temple Street are very clever and sensible
"Bruce Lee Sporting Goods Store" is not very far from the restaurant, since the opening of the restaurant, business here has also boomed, many dragon fans are vying to come here to buy "Bruce Lee Techniques", various styles of nunchucks and Wang Xiaohu planned and edited "Bruce Lee Fierce Nunchucks" two-week textbook.
Responsible for taking care of this store is one of the seven small blessings of Yuan Xiang, this senior sister is currently tired of the hard life, so she took the initiative to discuss with Wang Xiaohu to do a job, it just so happened that the store was busy after the opening of the mess, Yuan Xiang is sitting here, anyway, Ah Hu's salary is higher than on the set, which also makes Yuan Xiang satisfied.
There were fewer customers at noon, and Yuan Xiang was dozing off with her chin in her hand, when she heard a timid voice coming: "Sister, how do you sell the textbook of "Bruce Lee's Mighty Nunchucks"?" ”
Yuanxiang opened her eyes and looked around for a long time, but she didn't find the owner of the voice, so she frowned and asked, "Who was talking just now?" ”
"Sister, it's me."
Yuan Xiang saw the person under the counter at this time, to be precise, it was a child who looked like he was only ten years old, could the child have the ability to spend? Apparently not. So Yuan Xiang frowned again and said, "Children, this textbook sells for 50 Hong Kong dollars, which is very expensive." ”
The little boy sighed, then lowered his head and didn't know what to think again, glanced at the textbook with Bruce Lee's photo on the cover a few more times, and left silently, but he didn't go far, but stared at the book outside the store, through the window.
After a while, many dragon fans began to come to the store to buy books, nunchucks and textbooks, every time someone bought a textbook, the little boy would show an envious expression on his face, and quickly turned his head to see the remaining number on the shelf, this situation continued until the evening Yuan Xiang closed the business, the little boy reluctantly left, he left as if he had made an important decision.
"Hey, kids are really good now." Motoka shook her head and rushed to the restaurant to help
Since most of the exterior scenes were to be filmed on Temple Street, Wang Xiaohusuo arranged for Zhang Yuan to rent a few temporary houses, which could be used for filming on the one hand, and as temporary offices on the other.
The interview for the extras of "Righteous Heroes" was held here, and Wang Xiaohu and others came here early in the morning, and Zhang Yuan was even more busy, organizing candidates to line up, and busy registering candidate information.
Temple Street was recorded on the Kowloon Map in 1887, when Temple Street was divided into two sections, bounded by Tin Hau Temple in Yau Ma Tei, with the northern section known as "Temple North Street" and the southern section known as "Temple South Street". It was not until 1968 that the Hong Kong Political Axe built the Leung Hin Lai Community Service Center near the square of the Tin Hau Temple, which caused more than 200 itinerant hawkers operating there to be dissatisfied with the demolition.
Wang Xiaohu walked slowly on the streets of Temple Street, checking the terrain from time to time, and making a comprehensive evaluation in his mind to see which scene was suitable for filming, so that he could arrange for Zhang Yuan to negotiate the price with the store for filming.
As he walked in front of the queen of heaven, Wang Xiaohu saw a little boy running over in a panic, the boy was wearing a beige plaid shirt, due to the number of washes, it looked a little white, broken hair, a pair of eyes that were not big or small, very cute.
Because he was running too fast, he had to keep looking back, so he didn't see a pothole under his feet, so he heard an "oops", and the little boy fell down all at once.
Wang Xiaohu hurriedly stepped forward to help, and held the little boy before he fell, and said with a smile: "Are you okay, little friend, what are you going to do in such a panic?" ”
After the little boy saw the outsiders, the panic on his face became even more obvious, he tightly covered his trouser pocket with his hand and looked at Wang Xiaohu with vigilant eyes, and then he pushed Wang Xiaohu away and ran away.
"Uh, do I look like Uncle Blame Li? Why is this kid scared when he sees me? Wang Xiaohu shook his head bitterly and continued to look for the location he liked.
When he found a few satisfactory locations and returned to the temporary office, the interview here was nearing the end, and there were more than a dozen parents who were accompanying their children to the interview, he saw Zhang Yuan shaking his head and sighing, so he walked over and asked, "Ah Yuan, how is the interview?" ”
Zhang Yuan squeezed out a wry smile and said: "There have been several rounds of interviews, but there are no actors who meet Brother Hu's requirements, and they make me very depressed." ”
"Haha." Wang Xiaohu sat beside him and picked up the interview record, and after looking at it twice, he finally understood the source of Zhang Yuan's depression, this interview record sheet was made by Wang Xiaohu according to the memory of his previous life, with name, age, basic information and remarks written on it, the basic information is to see if there is any experience in filming, if there is one, it will be used as a key observation object, and the remarks column is to record the interviewer's requirements for salary and role.
The people in Temple Street are all from poor backgrounds, they have little experience in filming, and in their impression, this is the first company to come to Temple Street to make films. So they don't have the slightest demand for salary, roles, or anything.
"Well, that's a question, but are there any interviewees who fit the requirements a little bit?" Wang Xiaohu frowned and asked.
Zhang Yuan shook his head after thinking for a long time and said, "No, there are a few clever girls, but they are almost 18 years old, and they obviously don't meet Brother Hu's requirements." ”
"Damn, can't you find a little girl who meets the standards in the entire Temple Street?" Wang Xiaohu doesn't believe in evil anymore.
"Like, like that's the case at the moment."
"Continue to post job advertisements and postpone interviews until the end of the afternoon." Wang Xiaohu said depressedly.
Hearing this, Zhang Yuan nodded vigorously and said, "Okay! ”
After Wang Xiaohu finished speaking, he told him about the stores he valued, asked him to go over at noon to negotiate the price with the store owner, and then returned to the factory to participate in the action rehearsal.
In one afternoon, Wang Xiaohu and Yuan Heping and others choreographed several sets of fight scenes, the male lead Tang Shan's movements are positioned in free fighting, mainly known for leg and grappling, the villain No. 1 Yu Lao Qi uses a vicious tendon and bone splitting hand and a small amount of Muay Thai factors, the second leader of the Axe Gang, that is, the character played by Yuan Heping uses the Northern School Serial Push, and Yuan Biao's Ah Bang is brilliant with Wing Chun.
In short, for the sake of the brilliant and innovative fights of this film, Wang Xiaohu racked his brains for design actions, and Yuan Heping also put forward his own suggestions on the side.
After finishing work here, Wang Xiaohu took a taxi to Temple Street. Temple Street is sparsely populated during the day, and it doesn't take a few minutes to walk through the short street, but every day in the evening, the roadside stalls on Temple Street will start to open, and the stalls sell quite a variety of items, including men's clothing, handicrafts, tea sets, jade, and even cheap electronic products.
It took half an hour longer than the day, and Wang Xiaohu came to the temporary office with a slight sweat on his forehead.
"Brother Tiger, you are finally here, and I finally found two satisfactory interviewers." Zhang Yuan happily took the registration form and said: "This age is just 10 years old, and now I am taking care of my younger brothers and sisters at home, this one is already 12 years old, and I rushed over immediately after hearing the news after school." ”
"Yes, Ah Yuan is really bothering you this time." Wang Xiaohu was also very happy to hear that there were qualified interviewers, patted Zhang Yuan on the shoulder and said, "Let's go to the restaurant later, you and Ah Biao and them have a few drinks to relieve fatigue." ”
Zhang Yuan said with a smile: "Hehe, fortunately, it's not very hard, it's quite cool to be an interviewer, and I will be addicted to what I do if I directly grasp other people's star paths." ”
"Haha, then arrange for you to do this kind of errand in the future, so that you will be happy to death."
"Thank you, Brother Tiger."
Wang Xiaohu was just about to look at the information on the registration form, when he heard a burst of scolding and a child's crying not far away, but when he approached, he found that the child was a little familiar.
"Ah Xing, you rotten boy, did you say you stole the family's money?"
"Mom, I didn't, I really didn't steal money."
"You still say no, will the fifty Hong Kong dollars run away?" The woman scolded angrily again, picked up the rattan in her hand and slapped the boy.
"Isn't this boy the one I met in the morning? No wonder he panicked, it turned out that he had stolen the family's money. Wang Xiaohu thought so.
---- still need me to say, you know who this kid is, right?
