In the conference room of Concord Film Company, Sammo Hung , Jackie Chan , Yuan Biao , Yuan Kui , Yuan De , Yuan Bin , Yuan Hua and other seven Xiaofu brothers and Yuan Heping are having a heated discussion, the focus of the discussion is naturally the action design of "Myth", in the previous half a month, they completed the basic martial arts action design in "Myth", only the design of the big scenes in the remaining two wars. 【Reading.com】

As the executive martial arts instructor of "Myth", Yuan Heping was arguing with Sammo Hung with a pair of big eyes.

"Sanmao, although the action you designed is very imposing, and the action of the general is also very beautiful, but don't forget the fact that there were no stirrups in the Qin Dynasty, so the cavalry team of the Qin Dynasty can only act as spies, and the big knife to spear fight you proposed immediately cannot appear in the movie!"

Both of them are one of the best director-level figures in Hong Kong, and Sammo Hung must be unhappy when Yuan Heping overthrew himself for a few days without face, Sammo Hung must be unhappy, he stood up and stared at Yuan Heping with the same eyes, and waved his fat hand back and forth: "It doesn't matter if he has stirrups or not, we only care if the action scenes are good-looking, Ah Hu has said that as long as the scene is grand and the action has an ornamental surname, it can be adjusted and modified appropriately!" ”

"If there were stirrups, Qin Shi Huang would have led the Qin Dynasty's iron cavalry to break through the Qiang people and attack the Western Regions, the territory of the Qin Dynasty must be larger than in history, just like the unrealistic tool of the pistol appeared in the Qin Dynasty, you are disrespecting history!"

"We're making a movie, not real history, if we want you to be so careful, then we can't make a movie!" Sammo Hung threw the script on the table and said angrily.

"This is falsifying history, if foreigners, after seeing this obvious mistake, will laugh at our disrespect for history, they will say look at it, the movies made by the Chinese themselves are not rigorous!" Yuan Heping was not convinced, and insisted on his own point of view with red eyes.

"Big eyes, please don't be so rigid, okay, we are making movies, not doing historical research."

Sammo Hung slapped the table, the loud sound was particularly harsh in the conference room, and seeing that the two were about to escalate from a quarrel to a full martial arts, the other brothers hurriedly came over to persuade each other.

"Senior brother, let's dissipate the anger!" Jackie Chan dragged Sammo Hung, who was eager to try.

"Big eyes, sit down quickly, sit down and drink herbal tea." Yuan Hua pulled Yuan Heping to the other side of the table, and hurriedly poured him a cup of herbal tea and handed it over.

"That's it, all of them are dissipated, since Ah Hu handed over this arduous task to us to deal with, it is a trust in us, we should hand over the work to Ah Hu in a friendly manner, so that is the attitude to do things, everyone listen to my words, first sort out the action design plan without disagreement, and count the differences so that Ah Hu can get an idea."

Don't look at Yuan Hua's movie is not as popular as the people here, he is also the second senior brother in the Seven Little Blessings, and everyone is still willing to buy his account, and the boiling conference room finally quieted down.

While persuading Yuan Heping, Yuan Hua went to do ideological work for Sammo Hung again, and was busy sweating profusely, until it was time to send food at noon, Yuan Hua was already tired and rolled his eyes.

"Ah Hu, this is the action plan that everyone made in the morning, more than ninety percent of them have been determined, Big Eyes and Sanmao are controversial in the remaining part, and they are almost going to do it." Yuan Hua reported the plan sorted out to Wang Xiaohu before eating, there was no way, this work should have been done by Yuan Heping or Sammo Hung, but now both of them are sulking, and no one wants to come, so they have to work hard for the second senior brother.

"Do it?" Wang Xiaohu smiled: "Neither of them is an impulsive person, why did they almost do it?" ”

Yuan Hua hurriedly talked about what happened in the conference room in the morning, and grabbed the red bean soup on Wang Xiaohu's table with a dry mouth and poured it into his mouth, but unfortunately the red bean soup was too hot, and the hot Yuan Hua stuck out his tongue, "Whew~ It's too hot!" ”

"Ha, Ah Zhi just sent it over, I still want to wait for it to be cool before drinking, who made you monkey anxious." Wang Xiaohu smiled and put the action design plan on the table, stood up and patted Yuan Hua, who was still sticking out his tongue, and said, "Let's go, don't make a grimace here, let's go over and adjust it." ”

The restaurant of Xiehe Company is definitely not a grade high, mainly because the employees of the company are gluttonous, especially the sisters Xiahou Mo and Xiahou Jue spent several times to report to Wang Xiaohu that the food made by the chef of the restaurant was difficult to swallow, so Wang Xiaohu also went to the restaurant to eat a few times, and found that this phenomenon did exist, so he invited a few chefs from the Long family's restaurant to sit down, and no one raised opinions in the future.

In the past, the employees were finally busy with a morning's work, and they would naturally be chattering and coaxing when eating, but today it was a little wrong, and the most noisy Xiahou sisters were also hiding in the corner at this time to eat obediently, and there were more than a dozen people sitting in the middle, and there were empty seats around them.

These dozen or so are naturally Sammo Hung and Jackie Chan, all of them are either popular movie stars or famous directors, and they are also kind and tight, but when they came to dinner today, the attentive staff found that they were not as talking and laughing as before, Sammo Hung and Yuan Heping were blushing, Jackie Chan and others stood nervously between the two, it seemed, it seemed that there seemed to be a smell of gunpowder.

This extremely oppressive atmosphere was not alleviated until Wang Xiaohu and Yuan Hua walked into the restaurant.

"Ha, I said Big Eyes, Sanmao, what are you two doing here without eating?"

Wang Xiaohu sat in the middle with his buttocks, and saw Sammo Hung and Yuan Heping looking at each other with chopsticks in their hands, and the rice and vegetables in the rice bowl had already been mixed into a mess by the two.

"Humph!" Yuan Heping twisted his head aside, Sammo Hung simply threw the chopsticks on the dining table, pointed at Yuan Heping and said, "It's all him, drilling the tip of the horns, and I'm not in the mood to eat." ”

"You still say that I, something that doesn't exist in history, you have to make it upside down, and when it comes out, it won't be laughed out of your big teeth!" Yuan Heping is not a vegetarian, and he believes that Sammo Hung will sue first, and immediately complain to Wang Xiaohu.

"We're making a movie, not archaeology!"

"Ah Hu said that this movie must respect history, otherwise it would be necessary to go to the mainland to shoot?"

"What does this have to do with framing!"

“”

The two of them glanced at me and said a word, slapped the table and stared at each other with red faces, and the whole restaurant stopped to watch them go crazy.

Wang Xiaohu couldn't cry or laugh when he saw this, knocked on the table and said: "Okay, okay, you two are my right-hand men, and you can be regarded as the company's veteran, aren't you afraid of being embarrassed to quarrel in front of a group of employees, hurry up and sit down for me." ”

Wang Xiaohu didn't speak, as soon as he spoke, Sammo Hung, who was the most ferocious, immediately lost his temper, sat down with his ass, and was angry at the rice bowl, and Yuan Heping over there also sat down angrily, picking up the food in the bowl with chopsticks and was stunned.

"Grandma's, eat, who spoils the food school rules again!" After Wang Xiaohu said this sentence with a straight face, he took the newly served rice from Jackie Chan's hand, chewed it slowly, and at the same time sandwiched the dishes for each of them, "After eating, the two of you will come to my office." ”

Sammo Hung and Yuan Heping didn't eat at all, and walked into the office nervously, they knew that Wang Xiaohu was angry just now, and in the past few years, he has mentioned many times at the party that the company should be united and work together, and the two are in trouble because of work matters.

Wang Xiaohu looked at the two people with their heads down, "Stop arguing?" ”

"Hmm." The two of them pressed at the same time.

"Sit down." After Wang Xiaohu finished speaking, he picked up the revised action design plan and said to Sammo Hung : "Sanmao, do you still remember what I said at the mobilization meeting?" ”

Sammo Hung scratched his head and said: "You said that the movie we want to shoot this time is not for the box office, but for entering Hollywood and promoting oriental culture." ”

"Good, if you haven't forgotten." Wang Xiaohu nodded and said: "In the past, I told you all the operational elements of commercial films, and in the past few years, we have also followed a business model, these commercial elements include kung fu, funny, adventure, excitement or horror that everyone knows, etc., and the audience can find something that they recognize or are familiar with in the movie, which resonates with them, which is the main factor to measure the success of a commercial film." ”

"But what we want to shoot this time is not just a commercial film, but to accommodate elements such as oriental military, history, and art, so to a certain extent, we are not allowed to be sloppy." Wang Xiaohu paused when he said this, and after thinking about it, he continued: "I told Big Eyes at the beginning: try to reproduce the momentum of the Qin Dynasty army, and we are not allowed to deviate too much from history in terms of army clothing, weapons, and props. That's why I'm in favor of Big Eyes. ”

Sammo Hung was immediately dejected when he heard this, sighed heavily, and his expression was extremely lonely, while Yuan Heping beside him was overjoyed, and he was secretly proud in his heart, so he heard Wang Xiaohu say: "Big eyes, don't be happy too early, although you have adhered to my policy, you have forgotten my other request." ”

"What entrustment?" Yuan Heping asked, with wide eyes like a torch.

"I told you that when you disagree, you should try to avoid arguing, because arguing will only make things worse and will not help solve the problem in the slightest." Wang Xiaohu said: "You should calmly avoid quarrels, and use more direct and beneficial knowledge to resolve conflicts, just like when I got along with Brother Xiaolong." ”

Bruce Lee's temper back then was known to the gang, and he was called a tyrant by the crew during the filming of "Raptors Across the River", but when he cooperated with Wang Xiaohu, Wang Xiaohu always had a way to calm down his anger, and would explain the problem from multiple angles, the advantage of this is that the two of them almost never blushed in their work.

Yuan Heping frowned for a long time before he said, "Well, I'll pay attention next time." Sanmao, I have a bad temper today and have a very bad attitude when I speak to you, please forgive me. ”

Sammo Hung grinned and scratched his head and said: "It's all because I have a bad temper, and I blame me for this today, I didn't understand Ah Hu's request, I'm sorry." ”

Although Yuan Heping made sense in this matter, through Wang Xiaohu's words just now, he realized the shortcomings in his work, especially when working with people of the same level or higher than his own level, he still lacked some experience in handling things. He knew that the more times like this, the more he should lower his posture and take the initiative to shake hands with Sammo Hung, after all, Ah Hu had already given the steps, and he had to borrow the slope to get off the donkey, right?

There was a burst of hearty laughter in the office, and after laughing, Wang Xiaohu beckoned the two to the table and said: "I will handle the remaining action design of the Qin Dynasty in the script, here is the setting of the current part of the script, you are all experts in this aspect, the purpose of the design of the action is: to reflect the traditional Chinese national art and Hong Kong's modern free fighting, to be clearly distinguished from the martial arts of the Qin Dynasty." ”

Yuan Heping quickly glanced at the script, "This princess also has to know kung fu?" ”

"Of course, in ancient times, Mulan served in the army on behalf of her father, and the women were not allowed to have their eyebrows, and it was nothing for the princess to know how to do some kung fu, but the kung fu should not be too strong, barely enough for self-defense, not to mention that the main reflection is the princess's familiarity with the various organs of the Qin Emperor's Mausoleum." Wang Xiaohu said.

"Uh, isn't that a bit high?" Sammo Hung groaned: "This scene is more difficult to film, to show the beautiful picture of the ancient beauty flying into the sky, as well as the merger of free fighting, traditional national arts, Ah Hu, which national art do you think is better to use on the mainland?" ”

"Tai Chi!" Wang Xiaohu said without thinking: "Just use Tai Chi, the best is Chen's old Tai Chi." ”

After Wang Xiaohu finished speaking, he looked at Yuan Heping with a smile, you must know that Yuan Baye was a Tai Chi professional in his previous life, and the famous "Tai Chi Zhang Sanfeng" and "Tai Chi Grandmaster" were written by Yuan Baye.

It's just that Yuan Heping is not an experienced Yuan Baye, but I believe that after the filming of "Myth", he will be very interested in Chinese national arts.

"Ah Hu, it's so difficult, and it also involves the Qimen Dunjia Technique!" Yuan Heping didn't know that Wang Xiaohu was looking at him, but the more he read the script, the longer his face grew, and finally he became a bitter gourd face. "I started as a martial arts instructor, and this is the most complicated and difficult movie I've ever had."

"Yes, the Tai Chi of the Northern School, the free fighting of Hong Kong, what martial arts do the women of the Qin Dynasty use?" Sammo Hung is also pondering.

Wang Xiaohu didn't answer, just smiled and looked at the two of them frowning and worried.

"Ah Hu, or, why don't we do it simply?" Yuan Heping raised his head and asked.

"What's the easy way?"

"This, do you think this is done, anyway, the real Qin Emperor's Mausoleum as mentioned in your script is suspended inside, and people can float around in it, let's turn the ancient princess into the appearance of Chang'e running to the moon, which not only conforms to Chinese legends, but also matches the title of the film, and can also cover up the shortcomings of the princess's kung fu is not very clever."

"Ha, big eyes, it seems that you are really a genius as an action director, you have thought of it, very good, just make it look like Chang'e running to the moon, you can boldly design these actions!" ――

I just got the news this afternoon, Bai Yunsheng, the author of "Entertainment Disciple" and "Ace Director", was hospitalized due to illness, and he said that he would have surgery recently.
