Chapter 80: Searching for Wudang

It is not difficult to choose one of the four, Liang Xiaolong will eventually aim at "Street Dance Boy", which is undoubtedly the most suitable for adaptation. In the original film, the protagonist DJ danced with someone, resulting in his younger brother being shot, and finally went back to school, he felt very uncomfortable in the new environment, and since joining a hip-hop fan league, his life began to change dramatically. His outstanding dancing skills were put to good use here, and the people of the League admired him and expected him to help the League win the long-coveted National Street Dance Competition. However, what they don't know is that even with his amazing dancing skills, before he can become the most competitive backbone of the Alliance, DJ must face how to put aside the shadows brought to him by the cruel past. This is a fork in the road in life, DJ must make a choice, with the support of a group of brothers and the girl he loves, DJ finally re-faces the road ahead, and moves forward bravely on this road of hip-hop that he once loved deeply.

It is not difficult to adapt such a story theme, as long as kung fu is integrated into the two links of fighting dance and shooting in the first half of the film, the outline of kung fu street dance will come out. In addition, when the protagonist redeems himself at the end and walks out of the shadows, he can integrate the spirit of kung fu and give him a kind of courage to get out of the predicament. Of course, just inserting, there is no need to reinforce anything, because Liang Xiaolong wants to make a film that integrates kung fu and dance, not a film that blindly emphasizes kung fu, otherwise the audience will only think that this is an action movie, not a song and dance film.

After choosing the theme, it is easy to adapt the script, but Liang Xiaolong is not in a hurry, patiently adapting it, and striving to do it perfectly, so that whether it is to promote Chinese kung fu, his own reputation, or box office revenue, it is only beneficial. However, Liang Xiaolong was not idle during this time, in addition to adapting the script every day, sorting out the materials of the Anti-Japanese War, and participating in some necessary publicity, in addition, he also took Wu Jing and Jessica to participate in the recording of the Zampla talk show, for this Wu Jing and Jessica are very enthusiastic, Zampra talk show is the most influential talk show in the United States, it is a great honor to be on this stage, in addition, it can also gain great popularity.

Similarly, the Shangzanpura talk show can also promote "Black Fist" to a large extent, further promoting the box office of "Black Fist". The show was recorded for two days before it ended, and it will be broadcast a week before the release of "Black Fist", before leaving, Jessica suddenly grabbed Liang Xiaolong: "Captain, why do you keep avoiding me?" Got a ghost in your heart? Liang Xiaolong rolled his eyes, didn't he ask knowingly? Holding a young and beautiful girl in his arms for a night, it would be strange if there were no ghosts in his heart, but this kind of thing must not be admitted verbally: "What is it?" I've been writing a script lately, and I'm busy. ”

"You just." Jessica gave him a blank look and left flutteringly, while Liang Xiaolong was very inexplicable, why is this girl talking about this? Does she have to do what she wants to do? Anyway, Liang Xiaolong didn't understand her intentions, but he didn't bother to think about it, after the publicity was over, he packed his luggage and prepared to return to China to accompany his wife: "Baby, where are your crew now?" Rachel was pleasantly surprised, "Honey, you're coming?" Liang Xiaolong said: "I will be able to leave almost tomorrow." Rachel said: "That's great, our crew is about to rush to Wudang Mountain." ”

The name of Wudang comes from the lack of non-true martial arts, and according to legend, Wudang Mountain is the holy place of the founder of a patriarch Zhenwu the Great who is believed in Taoism. Therefore, Wudang has always been famous for the blessed land of the fairy mountain, the past dynasties admired the mountain incense, the reclusive cultivators are countless, according to legend, the Eastern Zhou Yin Xi, the Han Dynasty Ma Mingsheng, Yin Changsheng, the Wei and Jin Dynasties Tao Hongjing, Xie Yun, the Tang Dynasty Yao Jian, Sun Simiao, Lu Dongbin, the five dynasties of Chen Xuan, the Song Dynasty Hu Daoxuan, the Yuan Ye Xizhen, Liu Daoming, Zhang Shouqing are all practicing here.

The fame of Wudang Mountain also benefits from its tranquility, beauty and strange scenery away from the hustle and bustle. Climb the main peak "Tianzhu Peak" at an altitude of 1,612 meters, and be in the clouds, and all the worldly worries will disappear at your feet. Looking around, the seventy-two peaks towered in the sky, and they all bowed their heads, facing the main peak, like the stars holding the moon, as if "ten thousand mountains come to the court". The Yuan people have a poem that says: "Seventy-two peaks are connected to the azure, and twenty-four streams of water are long." "Wudang Mountain Tianzhu Peak area, the mountains are high and the valleys are deep, the streams are vertical and horizontal, and when you enter it, you will have a sense of birth with vulgar thoughts.

At the same time, Wudang is also a major martial arts school, is the birthplace of the inner boxing, known as the North Chong Shaolin, the South Zun Wudang said. In his previous life, Liang Xiaolong went to Wudang many times under the leadership of his father Liang Wenzheng, and was very familiar with Wudang Mountain, and also fought with several Wudang boxing masters.

Since he was visiting, he naturally had to bring gifts, Wudang swordsmanship was famous all over the world, and Liang Xiaolong simply brought a Longquan sword to worship the mountain. After several tosses, two days later, Liang Xiaolong finally came to the foot of Wudang Mountain, chose to hike up the mountain, and sang Wu Jiaming's "Journey to the East" loudly, "Go, go, go, the hero walks with me, I have traveled all over Qingshan, and the young man is not old, and the ambition of the young man is not worried." Mo Ya Mo look back, no matter where the yellow crane goes, the yellow sorghum will change again and again, sprinkled to the world is resentful, row a leaf flat boat and let me go to the ......"

Just like the lyrics, he is at ease, but the broken gong voice makes people dare not compliment, a good song for him to sing, all the taste, the tourists on the road can't help frowning, laughing and scolding this guy for not knowing himself, he really thinks he is Pavarotti. Fortunately, Liang Xiaolong is very fast, and he will surpass them in a while, otherwise he will have to suffer from noise pollution along the way.

The ancient buildings of Wudang Mountain are large in scale and majestic. According to statistics, from the Tang Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty, more than 500 temples were built, more than 20,000 temple rooms, the Ming Dynasty reached its peak, and the emperor Yanjing of the past dynasties built the Wudang Mountain Dojo as a royal family temple. During the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty, the great construction of Wudang, the history has the saying of "building the Forbidden City in the north, building Wudang in the south", a total of 9 palaces, 9 views, 36 nunnery, 72 rock temples, 39 bridges, 12 pavilions and other 33 Taoist buildings, with an area of 1.6 million square meters. In the 31st year of Jiajing of the Ming Dynasty (1552), it was expanded again, forming "five miles, one nunnery, ten miles of palace, and the Dan wall is exquisite." The tower reflects the gold and silver gas, and Lin Xiu returns to the architectural wonders of the mirror to achieve the artistic conception of "Xianshan Qiongge". There are 129 ancient buildings and 1,182 temple rooms that are relatively intact in existence, just like the exhibition of China's ancient architectural achievements.

Liang Xiaolong asked a small road chief, and learned that the crew was filming in the Yuxu Palace, so he went over. Yuxu Palace is the base camp of Wudang in ancient times, according to historical records, there were seventy-two Taoist temples in Yuxu Palace, you can imagine the grandeur of its scale. During the Jiajing period in the middle of the Ming Dynasty, the Yuxu Palace was expanded on a large scale. Since then, Yuxu Palace covers an area of 5.25 million square meters, with more than 2,200 houses. As far as the eye can see, the flying gold is blue, rich and brilliant, and boundless. No wonder the ancients sighed after visiting the Yuxu Palace: This is said to be a dream of leisurely travel, and the body returns from Biluo.

"Terracotta Warriors" does not have many scenes in Wudang Mountain, mainly around a big battle, but this battle is definitely a highlight in the film. Qin Shi Huang came to find the Fountain of Eternal Life, and the Wudang Taoist priests intercepted it with the True Martial Seven Sword Array, and still let Qin Shi Huang break in. Qin Shi Huang got the fountain of eternal life and turned into a black dragon, and the Wudang Taoist priests trapped him with the Tai Chi Sword Array, but Qin Shi Huang's mana was monstrous, and he was comparable to an extraordinary person, how could the Wudang Taoist priests trap him? In the end, instead of being trapped, Lin (Zion's daughter) was captured by the black dragon.

Most of these scenes can only be completed by using special effects, but they also need to complete location shooting, in which Jet Li and Michelle Yeoh have several flight actions, all of which have to be completed with the help of WIA, which is very complicated. When Liang Xiaolong arrived, the crew had not yet started filming, Stephen was scheduling the scene, Yuan Heping was explaining the action to Jet Li and Michelle Yeoh, and Rachel and Brandon were idle, sitting on the side and chatting. Liang Xiaolong took out his mobile phone and dialed Rachel's number: "Baby, do you miss me?" Rachel said, "Knowingly, you should be in China now, right?" Liang Xiaolong said: "Look to the right." ”

"Wow......" Rachel exclaimed in surprise and ran towards Liang Xiaolong, who hurriedly hugged her: "Baby, you seem to have gotten heavier." Rachel snorted: "Nonsense, filming has been so hard during this time, I have lost three kilograms." Liang Xiaolong smiled: "It may be that I haven't hugged you for too long, now I have to hug you for a while to familiarize myself with your weight." Rachel said: "I'm embarrassed to say, throw me here, I will be happy in the United States, I don't care, in the next play, I will be the heroine, and you will be the director." ”

"Don't show your affection here, don't you know that we bachelors are very painful to watch?" Brandon walked over with a smile and said, "Captain, welcome to China." Liang Xiaolong gave him a blank look: "Man, I should say this to you, right?" Brandon laughed, "But who told me to be early?" Liang Xiaolong said, "Yes, you become a Chinese, and I become an American." ”

Liang Xiaolong went over to greet Stephen again: "Man, the shooting went well, right?" Stephen said: "It's much better than in Egypt, especially the scenery here, it's easy to frame, and the picture effect will be much better than the first one." Liang Xiaolong said: "Then I will write another Chinese theme for "Tomb Robbery 3"? Stephen smiled: "As long as the quality of your script is excellent, I don't care about the subject matter of that country." Liang Xiaolong said: "Sure enough, he is a great director, that is not ordinary self-confidence." Stephen said: "The main thing is to have confidence in your script, you are now the best editor at the Oscar" Liang Xiaolong smiled: "That thing will produce one every year, nothing unusual." Okay, I'm not going to delay you here, we'll talk in the evening. ”

Liang Xiaolong greeted Jet Li, Michelle Yeoh, Wang Zuxian and Yuan Heping again, but after all, it was the first time they met, so they complimented each other a few words and discussed chatting again in the evening. After doing all this, Liang Xiaolong pulled Rachel out: "Baby, I'm going to visit Daoist Zhong Yunlong, do you want to go with you?" Rachel gave him a blank look: "It's all pulled by you, can I not go?" Liang Xiaolong smiled: "Doesn't I miss you too much, when I visit Daoist Zhong Yunlong, let's do something meaningful." Rachel scolded in a low voice, "Scoundrel." ”
