After Chow Yun-fat sent the plate downstairs, he went up the stairs with trepidation, and the long-term life experience, coupled with the expression on the young boss's face, made him know that the young boss's mood at this time must not be much better, could it be that he has not performed well recently, and the young boss who provoked him has an opinion on himself and wants to fire himself?

Chow Yun-fat thought of this, he couldn't help but get nervous, if he was fired, he might have to find a job again, but this is the restaurant with the highest salary in Hong Kong, and everyone is very good to him, just a few steps of stairs He took twice as long as usual to go up, and after standing in front of the office door for a long time, he knocked on the door with a complicated mood.

"Please come in."

"Boss, are you looking for me?" Chow Yun-fat came in hunched over, standing there a little cramped.

Wang Xiaohu leaned on the back of the chair and supported his chin, carefully observing Chow Yun-fat back and forth, if there was no Chow Yun-fat in Hong Kong, then the Hong Kong film industry would be overshadowed a lot, Chow Yun-fat is the god of acting that Hong Kong movies can never replace, and he is also the god of acting in the entire Chinese film industry, but now, he is standing in front of him with a panicked expression, which makes Wang Xiaohu feel that he is making people.

Chance is so illusory that you don't know when it's coming, maybe you're well prepared when it comes, and then you grab it and fly into the sky, maybe you'll pass by it without knowing it.

Wang Xiaohu had a headache when thinking about the character of "Li Zhao", until he saw Chow Yun-fat, a waiter who was working for him, and his head finally calmed down. "Handsome, clever, and observant" are all potential endorsements of Chow Yun-fat, to put it simply, now Wang Xiaohu has preliminarily decided to let Chow Yun-fat play "Li Zhao".

However, the current Fa Ge is still a layman, and Wang Xiaohu knows that even after he enters the TVB wireless training class next year, his exam results are hovering on the edge of the passing line, far inferior to Wu Mengda, Ren Dahua and others in the same period. "Would it be risky to use such a newcomer?" Wang Xiaohu thought like this, his face showed a little worry, and soon this worry was fleeting, "Whatever, anyway, the theme of "Ip Man" is that the otaku incarnates a righteous warrior to fight Xiao Yueben, if Li Zhao's role is played well, it is a classic, and if it is not played well, it will be a foil, and it will not affect the overall quality of the film, use Fa Ge!" Let him taste some sweetness first! ”

Chow Yun-fat didn't know what the young boss was thinking, he watched the expression on the young boss's face come and go, and he was even more worried, his thin and straight body involuntarily trembled slightly, and the pressure that the young boss invisibly exerted on him made him very uneasy. Just when this uneasy factor was about to reach its peak and make him run away, the young boss spoke.

"Fa Zai, do you want to film?" The voice seemed to reach his ears like nine clouds, making Chow Yun-fat only lose his mind for a moment, what, the boss just asked me if I wanted to film? Did I hear me wrong?

Chow Yun-fat raised his head and looked at Wang Xiaohu with incredible eyes, and found that the other party's bright eyes were also open, and the smile on his face was so kind and charming, so he quickly calmed down the excitement in his heart, swallowed a mouthful of saliva and asked, "Boss, you just asked me if I want to film?" ”

"yes!" Wang Xiaohu smiled slightly, pointed at Chow Yun-fat and said: "Fa Zai, you are really interesting, I am not wrong, you didn't hear it, I just asked if you want to film!" ”

Chow Yun-fat couldn't pinch the thigh meat to make sure if he was dreaming, and asked in a somewhat unconfident tone: "I, can I?" ”

Although Fa Ge's current dress and temperament are far from being as elegant, free and uninhibited as Xu Wenqiang in "Shanghai Tang" later, Wang Xiaohu is convinced that this kind of thing can be cultivated slowly, if you know that the other party is a good seedling, and you don't cultivate him or hone him, then he will never have a chance to get ahead, he can only be hidden and buried, and even his life is dim. Wang Xiaohu couldn't do this kind of thing, he secretly looked at Fa Ge's embarrassed appearance with a snicker, and said after a while: "Of course you can, do you remember why I was recently called by the media?" ”

"A five-million-dollar box office screenwriter, a New Wave director, and the best martial arts instructor in Hong Kong." Chow Yun-fat blurted out without thinking, these titles are what he recently saw through the newspaper, every time he sees these reports, he looks forward to it in his heart, longing for something that can be valued by the young boss, and then step into the film and television industry, who doesn't have a star dream? Chow Yun-fat is the same.

Wang Xiaohu said with an incomprehensible smile on his face: "You still forgot one, whoever I hold will be popular." ”

"Yes!" Fa Ge's heart twitched violently, and he seemed to vaguely understand what the boss meant, but he wasn't sure yet. "Boss, what do you want?"

Wang Xiaohu nodded and said with a smile: "Well, I'm planning to make a new film, and I feel that there is an important role in it that is very suitable for you, I don't know if you are interested." ”

"Yes! Interested! Fa Ge finally fully believed that this was not a dream, he quickly became excited, grinning white teeth exposed, and the excitement and excitement in his heart were revealed by him.

"Very good, just be interested, from now on you will work in the restaurant during the day, and when you go back at night, study the script, try to figure out the situation of this role, remember, this role is very important, and the opportunity is rare!"

"Okay. There is absolutely no problem, boss, don't worry, I will definitely study the script carefully. Chow Yun-fat said with sincere fear, he felt that the young boss's words were very encouraging, although he didn't know why the boss trusted him so much, but he made himself feel flattered, as if the boss used his own appearance very much.

When Wang Xiaohu saw that the matter was completed, he immediately raised his eyebrows and said to Fa Ge: "Fa Zai, you remember to keep this matter secret, and don't mention it to outsiders casually, especially the reporters who squat in our restaurant every day." ”

"yes, I know."

"Okay, there's nothing else, I'll bring the script over in a few days, you can go to the restaurant first."

"Good!" Chow Yun-fat happily went out, his mood was unusually excited, he thought that the young boss would fire himself squid, but he didn't want the big pie to fall from the sky and almost stun himself, after twisting the thigh meat fiercely, he screamed in pain, and once again made sure that this was not a dream, and then happily went to the kitchen to serve the food, the whole person was full of motivation, so that the kitchen masters still thought that the boss gave him a salary increase

In the past few days, Wang Xiaohu has read the script of "Ip Man" several times again, and carefully compared it several times according to the movies he watched in his previous life, but he always felt that something was wrong, which he didn't notice when he watched the movie in his previous life, but with a deeper understanding of Ip Man and Wing Chun, that feeling became stronger and stronger.

"Isn't it too bland?" Wang Xiaohu frowned and looked at the martial arts action he designed, which does not mean that the martial arts action has no sense of reality, nor is it without viewing value, on the contrary, when it comes to martial arts action design, both the industry and the audience respect him. So what's wrong? Wang Xiaohu once again watched the entire martial arts design plan from the beginning.

The first to appear is Master Liao, which is the coordinate one as a reference, and was naturally defeated by Ip Man, no one can say that the fight is not exciting, but no one will applaud, because this is just a very ordinary fight, it is simply a necessary paragraph for a kung fu movie, people know very little information from this fight, it can be said that there is only one, that is, Ip Man is more powerful than Master Liao, as for how much powerful, no one has a score, if Master Liao is just a fake grandmaster who deceives the world and steals his name, he will only have a few strokes of three-legged cat kung fu, Then Ip Man's victory is meaningless.

At this time, the second coordinate appeared, Jin Shan found an appearance and easily defeated the owners of the major martial arts halls, almost without a blow, and Master Liao, as a player who could compete with him a few times, proved that Master Liao's kung fu was above the major hall owners, but it was not as good as Jin Shan Find, so Ip Man defeated Jin Shan Find It was more convincing than Ip Man killing the Quartet as soon as he came up. This is just one of the simplest examples, in fact, the reason why I am so excited in the film is that I have done a lot of preparation before, like a pot of water on the stove, which has been boiling for a long time, and Ip Man's timing is just at the moment when the water is boiling, and he wins precisely those who seemed invincible before.

"It is said that the foreshadowing is in place, and the audience also feels that this is a matter of course, but why are they still dissatisfied?" Wang Xiaohu continued to look down depressedly, the 1v10 scene was very bloody, and it also made people feel the pleasure of beating the little devil, and then at the end, Ip Man completely broke out and used Miura as a wooden stake to beat it even more freely, almost all of them are logical, and it is also the scene that the audience is looking forward to, which is easy to arouse the audience's national temperament.

Wang Xiaohu looked at it for a long time, slapped his thigh suddenly, and suddenly realized: "Yes, there is a problem here!" The comparison surname is not strong, no wonder I don't think it's right, Miura is not at the same level as Ip Man at all, does it mean that he is a general? It's impossible, it's just the audience's subconscious belief that Miura is also fighting tightly, and beating Wu Idiot Lin to death does not mean that he is strong in kung fu, because Wu Idiot Lin is clearly a soft-footed shrimp! Hahaha, I know what to do! ”

It is precisely because Miura only shot twice, the first time against three opponents such as Wu Zhilin, that he won easily, which seems to give people a very powerful feeling, but Wu Zhilin's skills are very good, otherwise he would not be so self-conscious as he would have apprenticed n on Wuguan Street. So when he fought against Ip Man in the ring, he was beaten by Ip Man without the power to restrain the chicken, giving people a sense of ordinary, completely lacking the basic conditions that a boss should have, which will make people feel like a tiger.

Think about the Tsuyoshi Fujita he played in "Jingwumen", didn't he also let him do a few very powerful moves when he appeared, which improved the audience's impression of his strength, in that case, then turn Miura's martial arts opponents into a few masters in the martial arts street! After all, although the masters of Wuguan Street are not as powerful as Master Liao, they are always more powerful than Wuluo Lin!

Wang Xiaohu feels that he is pursuing perfection more and more, and his harshness on himself has reached an unprecedented peak, he knows that this phenomenon is not good, after all, this is in the 70s, the audience is still watching lively, and there are few who look at the connotation, but since "Righteous Hero" made him successful, he has gradually let himself move closer to this aspect, and then "Ip Man" is of great significance, Ip Man is not much left, if he can see that his biography is so perfect, he should leave with a smile.

I don't know how many times the martial arts design was overturned and re-conceived, in short, it was already mid-May when Wang Xiaohu completed the martial arts design of "Ip Man", which was the longest and most tiring time in his creative career, but when he saw the heavy manuscript paper in his hand, he felt extremely fulfilled and accomplished.

Wang Xiaohu sent the script and all the martial arts designs according to the division of labor among the actors, and let them take a week to fully familiarize themselves, figure out the characters well, and familiarize themselves with the action drills.

The search for Ren Dahua is still ongoing, and Zhou Qingquan's role has not yet been determined, as for the "Ye Zhun" child, let Stephen Chow play it, after all, Xingzai's age is basically the same as "Ye Zhun" in the play.

However, Sammo Hung , Jackie Chan and others couldn't close their mouths happily after seeing the script, especially Jackie Chan, although "Standing on the Sky" produced by Dadi Company was released after "Raptors Crossing the River", but the box office was extremely bleak, which hit Jackie Chan hard, and talked to Yuan Biao and others more than once, and later Yuan Biao said You just come back and mix with Ah Hu, Jackie Chan didn't even think about it and said goodbye to Zhu Mu of the earth, packed up a simple salute and ran back.

Wang Xiaohu didn't say anything about this, after all, they were all his own brothers, and after giving him the script, he patted him on the shoulder and encouraged: "Ah Long do it well." ”

"Hey, by all means!" Jackie Chan replied with a smile, he now knows the hardships and hardships of wandering outside, and naturally cherishes this rare opportunity.

Compared with Jackie Chan, Chow Yun-fat is under more pressure, everyone present is an insider, more or less filmed, he is the only layman, so after getting the script, he reads it every day, studies it every day, and asks Yuan Heping, Sammo Hung and others for experience, as for why he didn't go to Wang Xiaohu, the reason is very simple, he is afraid that the boss will think he is troublesome, and he is afraid that the boss will play this role to others.

The people in the crew are also very jealous of Chow Yun-fat, and they don't understand why the little junior brother gave this important role to a newcomer to play, but they remembered the previous "Righteous Hero", as well as Yuan Biao, Zhao Yazhi and others, who are now very popular, and they are relieved, the little junior brother definitely has his reasons for doing this, and no one is better at getting along than him.

Wang Xiaohu breathed a sigh of relief after being busy, feeling that all the preparations were almost over, so he had to choose a zodiac auspicious to start shooting, and at this time, Bruce Lee invited him over with a phone call.

"Ah Hu, you're fully recovered now, right?"

"Well, fully recovered!"

"That's good, pack up your things, we should go to the book!"
