There are only two night scenes in "Enter the Dragon", one is Bruce Lee's first exploration of the island, he was discovered as soon as he tied the rope to the entrance of the underground secret passage, and simply fought with the samurai on several islands and fled, so the black player Jacquelia was on his back. 【Reading.com】

The second scene is the scene where Bruce Lee catches the cobra and enters the secret passage, and successfully infiltrates, using the cobra to scare away the two doormen on the radio station and get in touch with the outside world, where he fights.

Wang Xiaohu did not expect to shoot the two scenes in one night, in fact, it was very difficult for him, after all, everyone needed to rest after the night scene shooting to cope with tomorrow's big scene shooting.

During the interval of filming, Wang Jiaxin put a trampoline under the big tree, because according to Wang Xiaohu's request, Bruce Lee will have an action of jumping up the tree in this scene, and Bruce Lee, who has become a superstar, is obviously a little dissatisfied with this arrangement.

Wang Xiaohu thought for a while and said: "Okay, if you insist on not using the trampoline to complete this action with the up-and-down camera, we have to adopt the reverse playback technique, but it will be very troublesome to edit that way." ”

The camera position of the up-and-down pan camera moves upwards without moving, mainly used to introduce the "tall" of the subject, it is generally used in conjunction with the panorama, which can make the subject of the subject prominent, and if it is applied here, it means that Bruce Lee's light skill of jumping on the spot goes directly up the tree, when he jumps, the up-panning camera follows him to the air, showing that the body leaves the ground, and when he reaches the treetops, it will show the accuracy and stability of his light skill from top to bottom.

This technique was often used in martial arts films in the seventies and eighties, and it was a kind of stunt that was not a stunt, showing the action of a master jumping over high walls, towers, trees, etc. Nowadays, Bruce Lee does not like to use a trampoline, and Wang Xiaohu mainly uses reverse skills to cope with the past. That is, let Bruce Lee go up the tree first, and then jump down from above, and play the process backwards through editing, and the picture effect achieved is the same, but it is a little cumbersome.

"Forget it, let's use a trampoline." After thinking about it for a while, Bruce Lee chose Wang Xiaohu's opinion.

The two were talking about this here, and not far away, Yuan Heping and Sammo Hung were also busy talking to the first batch of trainees.

Sammo Hung pinched his waist and stared at Luo Jianhua, Wan Hanfei and the others with wide eyes and said: "Remember, you are our first batch of trainees, and you all have face-showing scenes, don't embarrass Lao Tzu at that time, otherwise don't want to get a completion certificate." ”

"If anyone causes NG, directly cross the evaluation form of the trade union and see which company will use you in the future." Yuan Heping hugged his arms and threatened. This trick is definitely a big killer, because now the Dragon and Tiger Martial Arts Union monopolizes 80% of the filming scenes, and whoever wants to recruit Dragon and Tiger Martial Arts has to come to the union, and one of the criteria for selecting martial artists is the member evaluation form.

These two coaches sang and spurred the students together, and everyone was very cautious in recalling the scenes to be filmed in their minds, it can be said that they are all old fritters on the set, they know how to bury their positions, and they also know how to act, plus these actions have been trained hundreds of times, but when they really want to play against Bruce Lee, they are still a little nervous in their hearts.

I don't know if it was the stewards who were scared by Yuan and Hong, or the students really worked hard to shoot, in short, the two scenes were filmed very smoothly, except for the NG caused by Bruce Lee twice, the students performed quite well.

After Wang Xiaohu announced the disbandment, everyone dragged a tired body to rest in the tent set up around the set, lying on the bed and looking at tomorrow's shooting plan, Wang Xiaohu still didn't sleep, holding a pen to draw in circles on the paper, always be sure to be safe before he was willing to rest assured, just about to turn off the lights, but heard a heavy sigh from outside the tent, Wang Xiaohu didn't go to his heart, he fell asleep, too tired.

After dawn, the American personnel came to Lantau Island by boat under the leadership of Winterdur, and they were full of energy, it seems that they had a good rest last night, and the set was already busy when they came, and Wang Xiaohu and Bruce Lee were arranging the next filming work to be prepared.

"Bruce, Tiger, you're early." John. Saxon came over to greet them, and after getting along for half a month, he had great respect for the dragon and tiger, which benefited him a lot because of their understanding and interpretation of kung fu.

"John, handsome man, you're early." Wang Xiaohu turned around and said hello with a smile, in fact, for this handsome American uncle, Wang Xiaohu also felt that his character was good, at least he was more serious in his usual training.

"Jim, come here, I'll tell you about the positions of a few of you." Wang Xiaohu called three American actors over and said: "Wait a minute, Anna, you are standing on the shore, yes, we didn't shoot this scene yesterday, we have to add it today, remember to wait for you to change into your costume that shows your proud figure, you start from here, pass by"

For Anna, a charming old woman (at least in Wang Xiaohu's eyes, I think so. The role in the play is a beautiful picture, except for Zhong Lingling, she is a rare beauty in this film, she has a short and regrettable love story with John, and there are several nude scenes, which are much better than those actresses who are naked in the film.

"John, you remember to show some admiration for Ana, yes, that's it, that's it, but don't scratch your bag like that, okay?" After Wang Xiaohu finished the scene, he walked to Bruce Lee, who was talking to Shi Jian and Yang Si.

"Uncle Jian, this time I let you play the villain again." This is the first time Wang Xiaohu has seen Shi Jian, and he has great respect for the oldest villain in Hong Kong film history.

Shi Jian grinned and said: "I also want to thank Xiaohu for giving me a chance to leave Hollywood, I happened to have something at home on the day of your engagement in mid-autumn last month, otherwise I would definitely have to ask for a few glasses of happy wine to drink." Shi Jian is still relatively amiable outside the play, and he appreciates Wang Xiaohu for becoming a big director at such a young age.

"Uncle Jian said with a smile, when the finish is over, Ah Zhi and I will make up another banquet for you." Wang Xiaohu said with a smile.

Bruce Lee suddenly frowned and said to Wang Xiaohu, "Xiaohu, there was a small problem when I communicated with Uncle Jian just now. ”

"Huh? What a problem. ”

"Here's the thing, I'm old and can't read English, so I may not be able to speak well when I turn it on, and I'm worried." Shi Jian said embarrassedly.

Wang Xiaohu thought for a while and said: "This is simple, Uncle Jian, you can speak Cantonese directly, how easy it is, just leave the rest to the post-recording." ”

While several people were talking, there was a sudden commotion from the US personnel behind them who were making preparations. When I looked back, I found that Winterdürth was blowing his beard and glaring at a Hong Kong crew.

"Hi, hi, what are you doing?" Seeing this, Wang Xiaohu hurriedly ran over and asked.

"Tiger, I can't command these staff, I asked him to move this prop off the ship, but your people ignore me." Winterdur said depressedly: "I'm one of the investors, and I'm also a producer, don't I have the right to let this person do these things?" ”

"Well, you go to the side and wait." After Wang Xiaohu asked the staff member to leave, he turned around with a smile on his face: "Lao Wen, you have to understand one thing, not all Hong Kong people can understand English, they can't understand you, and it's a matter of course that they can't do it." ”

"Do I need to learn fluent Chinese for this?" Winterdur asked rhetorically.

"Of course not." Wang Xiaohu spread his hands helplessly: "It's just that I hope that the next time you tell someone to do something, it's best to inform me in advance, you also know that we are a big production, and there are many people, right?" I don't necessarily know everyone to the point where we know it, we always have to talk to each other to finish the film. ”

"Well, I'll admit you're right. I'll let you know in advance next time. Winterdur sighed and went to Bruce Lee to confide in his depressed mood. Wang Xiaohu turned his face and called the staff member over, and the first sentence he said was this: "I can understand what you are thinking in your heart, but the next time you want to play foreigners, can you use your brain, how you play them, I won't care, but you have to play until they are dumb and swallow Coptis chinensis!" ”

After the agreement between China and the United States, today's shooting was divided into two groups, one group was Wang Xiaohu to shoot the large-scale scene, and the other group was to shoot the large-scale scene. Harpos and Yuan Heping mainly filmed the plot of Li's sister being coerced, and Robobek was directly assigned to the second group for filming because there were not a few scenes at the beginning.

Before leaving, Wang Xiaohu repeated in Cantonese and English the issue of paying attention to safety during the shooting, and asked Wang Jiaxin to give Yuan Heping a few pieces of glass made of sugar, which was used to film Linda committing suicide with glass, he didn't want Linda's hand to hurt, so Bruce Lee would blame himself for this.

"Ah Long, Zhengying, you sit there and don't move, Yuanhua, you tie my clothes for me, do you think you are a muscular man like Yang Si, you are a row of bone men at all."

Yang Si was also the champion of the Hong Kong bodybuilding competition three years ago, and joined the Shaw Brothers filming after being appreciated by Zhang Che, for several years, he has played the role of a strong man, this time he can appear in "Enter the Dragon" not only can show his face in Hollywood, but also Wang Xiaohu's salary is also very high, so as soon as he came to the set today, he has been excited, taking off his coat at every turn, shaking his barely strong body to walk around the set, very conspicuous.

Winterdur dragged his fat chin and watched Wang Xiaohu fully command on the set, and said to the director next to him with some irritation: "Hey, what are you doing standing here, you should control the shooting situation like him." ”

The director frowned and said, "Boss, don't you see that I don't have the slightest room to do it, I really want to direct them, but they are all Hong Kong people, from photographers to extras, they don't listen to me, I can't control them!" ”

"It's your business!" Winterdur gasped, and he said in an almost roaring tone: "You're here to be a director, not to travel at public expense!" ”

Seeing this, the third-rate Hollywood director seemed to have been insulted, and looked at Wang Xiaohu who was busy in the field with angry eyes, and it took a long time for him to muster up the courage to stride over, babbling something. Wang Xiaohu, who was shouting with a big lama on the high platform, heard the voice, frowned slightly and looked down at the third-rate director who was walking up, and said in a bit of confusion: "Hey man, it's dangerous here, you should be responsible below." ”

"No, you come down, I'll go up!" The director said angrily.

"What did you say?" Wang Xiaohu narrowed his eyes.

I said, "The steps are very high, and there are many of them, and the director was already out of breath when he climbed up: "I said, you go down and be responsible, and I should be in full control here, because I am the real director." ”

Wang Xiaohu raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and saw that Winterdur in the distance was paying attention to the situation here, so he shrugged his shoulders and handed him the loudspeaker: "Ok, this place belongs to you, I hope you can be qualified for the position of a real director!" After speaking, Shi Shiran went down the steps.

The director blinked and didn't believe that he got the director's microphone so easily, and then he took a few deep breaths to cheer himself up, and then he began to chirp on the high platform, and Wang Xiaohu had already hid in the shade at this time, splitting the big watermelon with one palm and munching leisurely, and looking at the third-rate director who was screaming hoarsely on the high platform with a smile.

"Play this set? Play whatever you want, and I'll let you know that it's hard to be a director in Hong Kong! Wang Xiaohu spit out the watermelon seeds, and he was already smiling in his heart.

Sure enough, the director on the high stage shouted for most of the day, except for a few American staff members who worked according to the instructions, the other Hong Kong staff members, including the actors, stood stunned and chatted, and even looked at the director called on the high stage paper with the eyes of a fool.

"What's this ghost calling?"

"I don't understand, is it performing a solo concert? It seems that this kind of open-air solo performance is often held in the United States. A knowledgeable Dragon and Tiger Martial Master said after watching it for a long time.

"In his voice, is this singing?"

"Don't believe it, I heard that there is a style called rap in the United States, this director must be rapping something, I just don't know what the lyrics are, you see him slamming the horn and jumping his feet, tsk, much more unrestrained than our Hong Kong singers."

The people below listened to it for a long time and still didn't move, which made the director angry, he took a shot from the high platform, and pointed at the nearest dragon and tiger martial artist, the dragon and tiger martial artist saw that his tone was not good, so he felt like he was being scolded, and smashed it with a punch without saying a word
