Chapter 133: A depressed invitation

"Hanging wire?" The audience at the scene couldn't help frowning, even the audience in front of the TV was a little puzzled, hanging the wire can play too many fancy moves, water floating is not the most exciting, it is better to have a trapeze. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Suddenly, a figure appeared on the other side of the pool, not tall, even a little short in the eyes of the Americans, bareheaded, dressed in monk's robes, holding a long stick, and suddenly began to run, and then floated on the water, really treading water.

"The cake seller, this is not a hanging wire." The audience suddenly exclaimed, and even fools could see that such an action could never be completed by hanging a tightrope, but really running on the water. Spectators near the pool can see that there is a row of small bridges connected by 0.4 x 0.4 plywood floating on the water, and this bald head is stepping on the plank. But even so, it is incredible, because these planks are not fixed, but are connected by a small rope on the left and right sides, and then placed on the water, and ordinary people step on them, even if they don't break the plywood, they have to fall into the water.

The eyes of the audience in front of the TV were wide-eyed, and they could see the wooden planks made of plywood through the camera, but they couldn't help but exclaim that this kind of water walking kung fu was much cooler than street parkour. The host began to introduce the data of the plywood in detail, and the first bald head had successfully stepped on the stage, followed by a bald head stepping on the water and floating over: "It is a warrior monk from the Shaolin school who brings us wonderful water floating kung fu, and there will be a total of eight warrior monks who will tread water." ”

These warrior monks have practiced hard in Shaolin Temple for several years, practicing Shaolin light skills, although they can't be as light as a swallow like martial arts, and cross the river with a reed, but they can do it by floating on the water through the plywood. Liang Xiaolong always had a bright smile on his face, he didn't expect that the planners would have such a crazy performance to attract the audience's attention, I believe that after tonight, the reputation of the Kung Fu Martial Arts Hall will reach a higher level.

Eight warrior monks appeared on the stage one by one, and an interpreter also took the stage to take charge of the translation activities. The host said: "The three-way plank is very light and brittle, as long as you press it with a little force with your fingers, you can break the plank, put it on the water, put it on a kilogram of things will sink down, how can people walk on it?" After the translation, a warrior monk said: "Speed, rhythm, and balance are indispensable, as long as you can master the above..., you can also float on water." The host said loudly: "I want to fly in the sky like a bird, so man invented the airplane; Imagine swimming in the water like a fish, so humans invented submarines; I wanted to float on the water like a floating object, so I had a boat. Human imagination is really unimaginable, so have you ever thought about walking on water by yourself without those technologies? ”

After a pause, the host suddenly said loudly: "Does anyone want to rush on the water like the Shaolin monks?" ”

"Think," the audience immediately shouted, and they wanted to go up and try it when they saw the Shaolin warrior monks running on the water. The host randomly selected three men and two women: "Let's show everyone the kung fu of floating on the water, let's wait and see." ”

Ladies first, the first beauty rushed over, stepped on the plywood, and her body fell into the water, fortunately, the weather is hot now, even if she is soaked, she will not catch a cold if she stays overnight, otherwise this beauty will not be able to watch the next game. However, it was not only the beautiful woman who fell into the water, all five of them fell into the water, and the one who ran the farthest only ran seven or eight meters before falling into the water.

"Honey, can you do it?" Rachel asked in a low voice, Liang Xiaolong could only shake his head, he had also practiced light skills, but the characteristics of light skills were different, he had never practiced floating on water, if he stepped on it, it was estimated that he would only end up falling into the water. But at this moment, the host suddenly said: "It seems that not everyone can do water floating, but then we will invite a guest, he may be able to do it, and invite the captain." ”

Liang Xiaolong couldn't help but smile bitterly, he was really afraid of something, but he could only go on stage. The host asked, "Captain, can you do it?" Liang Xiaolong shook his head and smiled bitterly: "If you haven't practiced, you definitely can't do it." The host said: "Okay, you only know when you run over, you can't disappoint everyone, right?" Liang Xiaolong said: "If I fall into the water, I don't have any clothes to change." The host said: "Don't worry, the backstage has already prepared a change of clothes for you." Liang Xiaolong smiled bitterly again: "It seems that you are prepared, in this way, I will run down from the stage, and I will go directly to change my clothes when I fall into the water." ”

Liang Xiaolong was secretly lucky, he didn't have any bottom in his heart for this kind of performance that he had never tried, but he also asked himself that at least he couldn't fall into the water just after stepping out of one like the beauty just now. Suddenly, Liang Xiaolong ran wildly, his speed was simply maddening, even if he was an Olympic champion in the 100-meter sprint.

He stepped onto the plank, one step, two steps, three steps...... The audience at the scene and in front of the TV began to applaud, especially his fans, who roared loudly and whistled to cheer him on. Five meters, ten meters, fifteen meters, twenty meters, bang, Liang Xiaolong finally fell into the water, like a pheasant in the water coming out of the water, very embarrassed.

And the audience, both at the scene and in front of the TV, laughed, they liked to see the scene of the captain's embarrassment, and they didn't want an omnipotent captain. The host said with a smile: "Thank you captain for bringing us a wonderful performance in the water, and then I will invite Shaolin monks to bring us a wonderful kung fu performance - Shaolin Xiongfeng." ”

Shaolin Temple is the first school of Chinese martial arts, and each weapon has a corresponding routine in Shaolin Temple, so their performances are also the most complicated. The program "Shaolin Xiongfeng" integrates the drills of various weapons, swords, guns, sticks, whips, and crutches, and does not use traditional drill methods in the arrangement of routines. In this regard, as a traverser, Liang Xiaolong can see extremely clearly, and many times, profound things are not necessarily attractive, and superficial things are often more attractive to people's eyes.

To hang the audience's appetite with Shaolin Temple, and then Wing Chun, Hung Boxing, and Baji...... Wait for the sects to appear one by one, and then finale with Wudang, who makes the Wudang faction the most famous now? Under the leadership of Daoist Zhong Yunlong, the Taoist priests of Wudang responded with long swords and performed all kinds of dazzling swordsmanship, which made the audience applaud.

The host sat down Zhong Yunlong and his disciple Chen Shixing flowed down, he is the successor of the Wudang faction swordsmanship and light skills, and will bring you a light gong performance next: "Xiaodao Chief, Shaolin light gong floats on the water, so what are the characteristics of your Wudang faction's light skills?" Chen Shixing said: "If you fly on the wall, you can walk on the wall." The host pointed to the specially built wall behind the stage, which was five meters high: "This wall is five meters high, and there is no place on the wall to borrow strength, can you climb it?" Chen Shixing said: "My highest record is 5.5 meters. ”

"Whether it's bragging or not, you'll know when you climb." The host said: "But it's not for you to climb alone, you have to compete with people today, please captain you." Liang Xiaolong took the stage again, but this time it was much easier, floating on the water was not his forte, but walking on the walls was his forte.

The host pointed to the wall: "Captain, can you do it?" Liang Xiaolong said: "The light skills I practice are also derived from Wudang light skills, and I am also good at climbing, walking on walls, five meters high, it should be no problem." The host said: "Then now you come to a competition, I shout one, two, three, you run at the same time, see who climbs up first." ”

One, two, three, two people started to run at the same time, pedaling four, their hands were already grasping the edge of the wall, and as soon as they bothered hard, they were already standing on the wall.

"The cake seller is amazing." If you have ever seen a wall climber, when have you ever seen a wall walk? If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they would have believed it, and they would have thought that it was made of a tightrope again, or they would have to overturn Newton's second law.

Shirley whispered in Rachel's ear, "The captain is in your house, so he shouldn't ever take the stairs, right?" Rachel and Jessica looked at each other, as if they had never seen Liang Xiaolong climb the wall so frantically.

Mark also widened his eyes: "It turns out that the light skills in those action movies produced in Hong Kong are not without factual basis." ”

"Oh my God, don't fall" Suddenly, they saw Liang Xiaolong and Chen Shixing jumping from the five-meter-high wall at the same time, close to the height of a two-story building. But the facts made everyone dumbfounded again, Liang Xiaolong and Chen Shixing landed steadily, as if they were jumping from the previous step to the next.

At this point, half of the evening has been carried out, and in the following time, there are a series of performances such as fighting, hard qigong, cartilage gong, etc., as well as guests and audiences often interact on stage, the atmosphere is very hot, and the party is very successful. The next day, the Kung Fu Martial Arts Hall officially enrolled students, and the situation can only be described as hot, Liang Xiaolong received a call from Carl after sending the script to Sophie: "It's too hot, it's so hot that everyone expected, according to the current trend, it won't take five days, and all twenty martial arts halls will be full." ”

"Won't it?" Liang Xiaolong was also a little dumbfounded, the scale of the twenty martial arts halls in the early stage was very large, and each martial arts hall could open an elite class and five ordinary classes at the same time, with thirty people in each class, which was one hundred and eighty people. However, unlike schools, martial arts halls do not study around the clock, and each class has only two hours a day, and it can carry out five classes at the same time, enrolling 900 people. Twenty martial arts halls are 18,000 people.

"Look at your little bit of interest." Carl snorted: "This is just the early stage, in the future, we will have two thousand, twenty thousand martial arts halls, distributed all over the world. Liang Xiaolong smiled: "Okay, then you can work hard for this great ideal" Carl roared: "Die, whose ideal is this?" Pure mother's light speaks and does not do things. ”

"My Captain, My Regiment, this name is interesting." Sophie turned on the computer and smiled slightly, not yet, she was already looking forward to the wonderful content. Of course, her more understanding of the script comes from the media, and she only knows that it was created by Liang Xiaolong in order to explore the meaning of life after the bombing.

"Veterinarian, I'll use your bones to make you soup in a moment." "My father went to work, and when he was walking on the road, a Japanese soldier took his head as a target, and he shot him. You said that if you didn't recruit anyone and didn't provoke anyone, it was the Japanese soldiers who wanted to practice their guns. Seeing this, Sophie couldn't help frowning and muttered, "Is there such a gloating soldier?" It's too bad, what the hell is the captain trying to say? ”

Sophie looked down patiently, at first, she didn't understand, but it wasn't until Yu Xiaoqing appeared and shouted, "When my robe mentions Yu Xiaoqing, what immediately comes to mind is my regiment leader; And I, when I mentioned the Sichuan Army, I immediately thought of the slogan "My Regiment", Sophie finally had an understanding. A group of people like cannon fodder in Burma, in Nantianmen, in Chanda, on the battlefield...... The cannon fodder died one after another, and Sophie only felt that her nose was sore, her eyes were always blurry, and sometimes she would cry in a low voice......

After reading it and crying, Sophie suddenly felt that this was definitely the best of the captain's many works, and it was so touching. However, Sophie was also depressed to find that she had read the script too deeply, and she had forgotten to write down her role in detail, and to feel this role, she could only read it again.

The second time she watched it, Sophie watched it more seriously and deeply, and she was attracted by the psychological activities of the cannon fodder, which pointed to the depths of the human soul in the war, which were more touching than anything else. But after reading it, Sophie was depressed and found that she had forgotten to feel her own role?

"It seems that if you don't read the script thoroughly, you really can't pay attention to your role, and you can't fully enter the play." Sophie thought a little depressed, and began to read the script over and over again, I don't know when, it was dark and bright again, Sophie stretched her waist and said in a daze: "Why is it still morning?" After thinking about it, Sophie couldn't help but smile bitterly: "After watching it for a day and a night, I'm fascinated?" ”

"But it's really a great work." Sophie had to admire, not to mention a script, even if it was a million-word masterpiece with rigorous content, she would be annoyed after reading it two or three times, and there had never been a script that could make her tired of it so many times. Moreover, she watched it over and over again, as if she had new feelings every time she watched it, so she could only describe this work with two words: great.

After finishing the kung fu martial arts gym, Liang Xiaolong also officially put "My Leader, My Group" on the agenda, and began to prepare for filming. Liang Xiaolong did not rush to find actors first, but rushed to Wellington, the capital of New Zealand, because "My Captain, My Group" is a big-budget film that requires a lot of special effects, and Yanhuang Film Company can't do it independently, so it needs to find a special effects company to cooperate. Of course, if the fertilizer does not flow into the fields of outsiders, Weta Digital Studio can complete these special effects production, and Liang Xiaolong now controls 70% of the shares of Weta Digital Studio, which can actually save a lot of money.

At Wellington's Weta Digital Studio, Liang Xiaolong met Peter and Richard: "Our company's first big business is coming. Peter smiled: "Although the company's technology is not bad, but it may not be able to meet your requirements, first, if we can do it, of course we will not refuse to send business to the door." Liang Xiaolong said: "There must be no problem, in terms of digital special effects, it is the scene of the air battle in World War II, bomb blasting, and shell trajectory capture, I don't think there will be a problem, right?" ”

Peter laughed, "If it's just like that, there will be no problem." Liang Xiaolong said: "This film is more about physical special effects, it depends on you, Richard." Richard said: "If it's a World War II movie, then it's definitely no problem, I can make all kinds of props for you, and then there are digital special effects to process them, and they appear on the film, which is guaranteed to be the same as the real thing." Liang Xiaolong said: "That's it, let's talk about the physical effects first, and see what props need to be made." ”

There are three types of aircraft: transport aircraft, bombers and fighters; The guns require Maxim heavy machine guns, Czech light machine guns, crooked handles, 79 rifles, etc.; The artillery needs field artillery, mountain artillery, anti-aircraft artillery, mortar...... Liang Xiaolong made his own list: "I just want realism, don't be afraid to spend money." Richard said: "In fact, no matter how real the props are, they are not as realistic as the real guns, in fact, you can discuss with your home country and transfer some real guns to ensure that the guns captured in the short shot are real." ”

Liang Xiaolong said: "This film also has to cooperate with my country's film company, and this aspect can be handed over to them, but at most they will only provide some samples, and it is impossible to undertake the shooting of the whole film, so we still have to do what we should do." Richard said: "Don't worry, if you hand over this piece to the company, the company will definitely be able to do perfectly, and it will be the company's first big business, and there will be no chaos." ”

Liang Xiaolong said again: "But there is no way in terms of aircraft, although my country delivered a lot of those things in World War II, they must have been eliminated, and the rest is estimated to be placed in museums, and it is impossible to be requisitioned." Richard said, "It's up to Peter to settle that, Peter, you say." Peter laughs, "Just make a few models, and then you have to use digital special effects." Richard added: "You can rest assured that I will go to these countries to imitate various models of fighter jets from World War II, and do 100% simulation." Peter added: "I will also investigate the data of these aircraft, and the flight will be 100% simulated." ”

Seeing the two singing together, Liang Xiaolong finally put his mind at ease, this is the first special effects film he directed, and it is an adaptation of his favorite anti-Japanese war novel, and he must pursue perfection. Liang Xiaolong said again: "There is also the most important part, which is blasting, can this piece be completed?" ”

War films, no matter how many special effects you use, but the blasting aspect is essential. In this regard, the most important thing is what bomb to use, how to locate it, how to orient it, and how to ensure safety...... It's all under his control. And if you find an unqualified blasting expert, not only will you fail to achieve the expected effect, but you will even have an accident, and you will not be able to blow up the leading actor to death, then it will be called over.

"In the early days of the company's establishment, we took these into account, and with your vigorous capital injection, we have now built a complete blasting team, and all kinds of blasting equipment are also very complete." Richard said: "But these things can't be transported casually, and your company has to negotiate the security check." Liang Xiaolong said: "Although it is troublesome to apply in this regard, it is not difficult to apply in the name of the company. ”

Liang Xiaolong listed the last item of the props: "Tree Castle, the final decisive battle, how to deal with this?" Richard said, "It's up to you, it's cheaper to simply make a model and then do it with digital effects." Of course, if you want to be perfect, you can simply build a big house, and then decorate the exterior with a tree fort, and then complete the shortcomings by special effects. Liang Xiaolong said: "I said, don't be stingy with money, deal with it as good as the effect is." ”

Richard said with a smile: "I've met a rich master, your Yanhuang Film Company is really confident now." Liang Xiaolong smiled: "No way, the effect is not good, the audience doesn't buy it." Richard said: "Yes, but you have to find the shooting location quickly, I will go to the field, and then I will start to build, this thing will never be completed in a month or two from the beginning of the foundation to the completion of the decoration." Liang Xiaolong said: "I will go back to the United States tomorrow, and I will go back to China the day after tomorrow, and I will implement this matter first, otherwise I will be weird in my heart." ”

After discussing with Peter and Richard for a day, Liang Xiaolong returned to Los Angeles the next day: "Guys, get your luggage ready and go back to China tomorrow." Jessica corrected: "Go to China." Liang Xiaolong said righteously: "Beauty, you must have the consciousness of becoming a Chinese daughter-in-law, and when you go to China in the future, you must say that you will return to China." ”

"Man, the materials are ready, I'm going to China tomorrow." Liang Xiaolong called Kyle again, this time with the combination of multiple domestic units, China Film is very likely to be established, at least a company similar to China Film will be established. Yanhuang Film Company is ready to establish a long-term cooperative relationship with China, so Carl is also ready to go to the company to learn about these situations firsthand.

Carl smiled: "Man, I'm more reliable than you, but you, the honorary coach, are too unreliable, Kung Fu Martial Arts Gym admissions, everyone is busy, you're good, you don't even show up once." Liang Xiaolong said angrily: "I just came back from New Zealand, you should be idle." Karl said disdainfully: "Excuse me? How many days are you busy all year round? ”

Liang Xiaolong took care of the loss and quickly cut off the call, when the doorbell suddenly rang, Rachel walked out and walked back: "It's a courier, dear, sent from China." Liang Xiaolong took it, a little inexplicable: "Could it be grandpa?" That's not right, if there's something they want to do, they'll just call. ”

Taking it apart, Liang Xiaolong was stunned for a moment, and then smiled bitterly: "The Spring Festival Gala program group invited me to participate in the Spring Festival Gala." Rachel gave him a blank look: "Why are you smiling bitterly, it's a good thing, what a wonderful show." Liang Xiaolong said: "It's not that we are invited to watch the show, but that we are invited to participate in the show." ”

"My Leader, My Group" has begun to prepare for filming, and Liang Xiaolong will be busy with the process of preparation and filming for a long time in the future, so do you have time to participate in the Spring Festival Gala? Rachel smiled: "If you participate in the show, you will definitely not be able to spare these time, so you can just refuse directly, and it is not a big deal." Liang Xiaolong's face was even more bitter: "The key is that this matter cannot be refused, and it must respond to the call of the country." Rachel gave him another blank look: "Nonsense, there is still personal freedom in feudal society, if you don't go, can you still be tied up?" ”
