After entering late October, it rained lightly in Hong Kong for a few days, and the filming progress was greatly restricted, Wang Xiaohu was not allowed to transfer to the indoor magic mirror secret room for filming, in order to highlight the difference of the scene in "Enter the Dragon", Wang Xiaohu used a total of 8,000 mirrors to build this scene. 【】

Wang Xiaohu didn't know how others filmed this scene in his previous life, it should be said that this was also the most difficult shooting shot in the whole film, in order to accommodate reflections, cameras and lighting, he couldn't achieve the desired effect several times, which made Wang Xiaohu feel very depressed.

In the end, he starred with Bruce Lee and Shi Jian, plus Warner's photographer Zuen. Harpos discussed for a long time before deciding on the final shooting plan: that is, to limit the range of movement of Bruce Lee and Shi Jian and the movement speed of the mirror, draw the route of the two people with chalk circles off-camera, that is, on the ground, and then let the two walk several times according to the designed route, and it took more than ten NG times to complete the scene.

In order to shoot this scene well, Mr. Shi Jian was also slightly injured, mainly due to the "exciting" actions arranged by Wang Xiaohu. Yes, now they have made a new breakthrough in martial arts action in "Enter the Dragon", which mainly comes from Wang Xiaohu, continuing the real surname and explosiveness of "Jingwumen", "Ip Man", and "Warrior", and the action is extremely chic and beautiful, which makes the old man Shi Jian, who has always maintained the style of play in the 70s, miserable, because he, the villain**oss, in order to fight wonderful and powerful, many actions are not familiar and good at him.

The studio on Lantau Island mainly completes 90% of the scenes of "Enter the Dragon", which is very important, almost all of them are fighting, Wang Xiaohu is in charge of the whole process of supervision, and Yuan Heping continues to complete the filming of the New Territories, Victoria Harbor and other parts, in early November, the crew was evacuated from Lantau Island and returned to Kowloon Island by boat.

Although the shooting is hard, everyone has gained a lot, among which the most harvested is Yuan Heping, Sammo Hung and other members of the Seven Little Blessings, they follow behind the butts of several Warner staff, as long as there is something they don't understand, they will share the experience they have stolen every day in the gap of shooting, so that they can continue to promote learning and make their own progress quickly.

Moreover, the first batch of trainees trained, they basically enjoyed a great internship opportunity with the crew, Luo Jianhua and Wan Hanfei have significantly improved their acting skills and action performance in front of the camera, Wang Xiaohu decided to go back and hold an internal meeting of the company after observation, and if there is no objection, the two will be signed.

Winterdur, Paul Shearer and other Warner's American staff have gained no more than a few this time, and they finally understand the magic of Hong Kong films, that is, in a simple environment and under the pressure of high-intensity shooting, Hong Kong filmmakers can always use some local methods to shoot exquisite martial arts scenes, especially Wang Xiaohu's proficiency in props and equipment makes them admire.

When "Enter the Dragon" was released in the United States and made a big box office, Winterdur said in an interview with the Los Angeles Times: "Even if you spend $1 million, you won't see the oriental atmosphere of Hong Kong in a Hollywood set factory." The scenes, the sounds, and even the smells all add up to give the people involved in the shoot a strong, realistic sense of reality. The East is indeed a desirable place in the world, with endless mysteries and possible surnames. I swear to God: Wang Xiaohu is the most amazing director I have ever met, he is a kung fu master like Bruce Lee, and he is even better at using the lens to interpret the mystery of Chinese kung fu! "Our Hollywood counterparts should learn from the experience of Hong Kong filmmakers, their extras are not as low-quality as everyone thinks, at least the 200 extras I saw didn't perform as badly as our Hollywood Screen Actors Guild, they knew how to show their bodies and movements in front of the camera, and there were 40 of them who even reached the standard of professional actors, oh my God, I learned a lot from this trip to Hong Kong." This is when a reporter asked Winterdur about the situation of Hong Kong actors, he answered excitedly and enviously. Of course, that's all for later.

After returning to Kowloon, Wang Xiaohu took the crew to shoot the rest of the scenes, and even borrowed Deng Sheng's energy to lease three helicopters, which naturally cost a lot of money, and when "Enter the Dragon" came to a perfect end, it was already November 11. At the end of the film, all the main personnel of the crew were very excited, and within a month they suffered a lot for the filming of this film, especially the American staff, whose work and rest system in a different place from Hollywood made them miserable, and when Wang Xiaohu shouted the last "cut", most of the American staff members burst into tears of excitement, finally, finally no longer have to film!

"Brother Xiaolong, I dare to say that these Yankees will give themselves a holiday after returning home, and they will definitely pour bitter water on their American counterparts." Wang Xiaohu hugged his arms and looked at the US staff who were packing their luggage and said.

Bruce Lee just sighed, his eyes showed strong exhaustion, and said lightly: "Everything is thanks to you, but they will definitely gain something, as long as the film is released, they have to sing praises to you in front of the media, this is their consistent style, I am used to it." ”

"Hey. Within half a year, I mean within half a year, I stopped taking any films. After a long time, Bruce Lee said this.

"Huh? Why? Wang Xiaohu asked differently.

Bruce Lee smiled bitterly and said: "Brother, I feel very tired, and I think you are more tired than me, because you have been under more pressure than me this year, but what I want to say is that money is not enough in a day, Rome is not a day to arrive, you need to give yourself a holiday, relaxed." ”

"Maybe you're right, but I can't relax right now." Wang Xiaohu took out four shooting plans from the drawer and said: "In order to realize your third wish as soon as possible, I have to shoot desperately, No, these are the four films we will shoot before the year and early next year." ”

""The Loser", "The Serpentine", "Rocky", "Ghost Horse Double Star". Half an hour later, Bruce Lee frowned after reading the script and said: "Brother, your ideas are always surprising, these are four completely different films, the first two are okay to say, this "Rocky" is an American inspirational film, and this "Ghost Horse Double Star" Oh my God, is this a literary comedy, I never thought you had experience in shooting literary films!" ”

"Hehe, I haven't filmed before, but someone understands this." Wang Xiaohu smiled slightly and said: "Do you still remember the three living treasures I invited, that is, Mai Jia, Shi Tian, Huang Baiming, and the three of them, this "Ghost Horse Double Star" is a script written by them under my guidance, I want the three of them to toss and toss hard." ”

"It's crazy, they're all new! And in the list of actors you wrote above, Xu Guanwen seems to be still hosting the show at Shaw Brothers. Will Run Run Shaw let him go? ”

"It's coming!" Wang Xiaohu smiled mysteriously and said, "It should be soon!" ”

In 1973, Xu Guanwen, who had always intended to develop as a creative filmmaker who also wrote, directed, and acted, handed over the script "Ghost Horse and Double Stars" written by himself to Run Run Shaw, hoping to share the profits of the joint venture with Shaw Brothers, but Run Run Shaw, who had always read talents, could not allow his subordinates to put forward such "non-divided" conditions, and immediately rejected it on the grounds that the script was too poor.

I don't know if it's because of the butterfly effect caused by his rebirth, but now Xu Guanwen has to tell Run Run Shaw his thoughts earlier than he remembers, and Run Run Shaw is furious about this, which he learned from a recent phone call with Run Run Shaw.

In short, this signal tells Wang Xiaohu: Uncle Shao Liu is going to give up an outstanding figure who influenced Hong Kong movies in the 70s and even 80s because of his arbitrariness, and he will not be stupid to remind Uncle Shao about the important surname of Xu Guanwen's future development, and he has planned to meet with Xu Guanwen's brothers in the near future to win over the four brothers before Golden Harvest.

Bruce Lee suddenly remembered something, he shrugged his shoulders and said: "By the way, the Golden Horse Awards are about to be awarded, and our Concord Company's "Ip Man", "Raptors Across the River", and "Righteous Heroes" have all been shortlisted for the Best Documentary, Best Editing, Best Cinematography, Best Technique, Best Screenplay, and Best Music awards, you have to prepare to go to Taiwan with me." ”

"Why not Best Director, Best Actor, Best Actress?" Wang Xiaohu scratched his head and asked unhappily.

"Don't you know that Taiwanese people like to engage in literary films, I already know that the awards you mentioned in this competition have been decided, the best actor is Ou Wei of "Autumn Decision", the best actress is Weng Qianyu of "True and False Daughter", and the best director is Li Xing of "Autumn Decision". Bruce Lee comforted him and said: "We can be regarded as slaughtering the entire Golden Horse Awards this time, don't you show such a loss." ”

"I think 'Ip Man' should be nominated for at least Best Director and Best Actress!" Wang Xiaohu said with some anger: "Damn the Golden Horse Awards, is it just because of the literary film to erase the brilliance of "Ip Man"? There is also "Jingwumen", grandma's, this time Jiahe picked up a big bargain! ”

The more Wang Xiaohu talked, the more irritable he became, and he couldn't wait to fly to Taiwan and beat all those judges to relieve his anger.

Bruce Lee laughed when he saw this: "Xiaohu, it seems that your original dream is to make money, and the pursuit of box office records is what you want, and don't you feel that our company's films have too much influence in Taiwan, and there is a lot of confusion about their local film distribution and production?" So don't worry about these things. ”

"Hey! Newcomers are discriminated against! Wang Xiaohu sighed, supported his chin with his hand and said, "Anyway, I'm not interested in the 10th Golden Horse Awards, I plan to go to Philadelphia in a few days." ”

"Going to shoot 'Rocky'?" Bruce Lee asked with a smile.

Wang Xiaohu nodded and said: "Yes, that guy Stallone has been suffocated in Hong Kong, the script he gave me today is very good, and he has already figured out the role of Toulochi, I think now is the best time to shoot, and it seems that the snow is about to fall in Philadelphia, so you can save the cost of artificial snowmaking." ”

After Wang Xiaohu finished speaking, he was suddenly stunned: "No, I can't go to Philadelphia now, there is a big thing to happen recently!" ”
