As soon as the "Looking for Bruce Lee" competition ended, Golden Harvest Company immediately packaged and publicized ten players who resembled Bruce Lee, and finding a good script became the primary task. [Full text reading]

"This script is very good, and there are still most dragon fans who don't believe that Bruce Lee is dead, as long as we promote and cooperate well, I think the film "Game of Death" will have a good box office!" Zou Wenhuai handed the script to Gao Luos to see, of course, it was all translated into English, otherwise Gao Luos didn't know a single Chinese character, and it would be strange if he could understand it.

"Nice script! We're going to shoot this, um, I think not only in Hong Kong, but even dragon fans all over the world have had this thought, and they can't accept the fact that Bruce Lee is dead. We're going to shoot it as soon as possible! ”

"If we want to invest a lot in big productions, we must do a good job of publicity in Hong Kong and Hollywood, and we will make a beautiful comeback with "Game of Death"!" Zou Wenhuai frowned and said, "Robert, we still have a batch of discarded films from Concord in our hands, and I feel that there are some things that can be used in Game of Death." ”

"Oh?" Gao Luos became interested: "Take me to see it." ”

Half an hour later, a shrill laugh from the small projection room rang out: "Quack Quack~~ God, this is simply the best day of your life for me, there are even more than 20 minutes of film that can be re-edited and reused!" Let that damn Tiger see how good I am at the level of directing! "Robert. Gao Los said through gritted teeth.

Zou Wenhuai said with a hint of mockery: "Robert, he is now in a mess with us, and it is difficult to protect himself, don't you see that he is now nesting in his den every day and refusing to come out, so his tiger is raised in the sheng, no matter how powerful he is, he can only scare people." ”

"Hahaha, you Chinese's words are really ingenious, a tiger is a paper tiger without teeth!" Gauros burst out laughing when he heard this, obviously agreeing with the description.

"It's just a paper tiger, as long as we blow the wind harder, he will become confetti!" Zou Wenhuai snorted coldly, grabbed the phone and brought Luo Wei into the office, threw over a few other scripts and said, "Avi, you choose these scripts and see if there are any suitable ones for you to shoot." ”

After watching it for a long time, Luo Wei took the "New Jingwumen" in his hand and said, "I want this!" ”

Zou Wenhuai immediately smiled when he saw it, this is not bad with the judgment in advance, whether it is Gao Luosi or Luo Wei, they are both well-known directors, they have all been asked by Wang Xiaohu to quit the crew for various reasons, this is tantamount to a slap in the face for them, and anyone will counterattack back in this way.

So the three people who had been "persecuted" by Wang Xiaohu discussed the counteroffensive plan in the office.

"Wen Huai, I have a question." Luo Wei said with some hesitation after a while.

Zou Wenhuai knocked lightly on the table, frowned and asked very puzzled: "Isn't everything ready now, as long as you start shooting, everything is OK!" ”

"The question is who we choose to be the heroine, you also know that Miao Kexiu has been signed by Concord, and we don't have a suitable candidate under us!" Luo Wei thought for a while and added: "Since we are going to shoot "New Jingwumen", we must at least come up with more than half of the actors in the original version to set off, otherwise the audience may not buy it." ”

"Let me think about it." Zou Wenhuai was stunned, if it weren't for Luo Wei's reminder, he really hadn't considered the serious surname of the problem, Bruce Lee is dead, if Miao Kexiu doesn't come forward as the female lead, then what kind of door is this "New Jingwumen", this script clearly reads: After Chen Zhen's death, Jingwumen was disintegrated, leaving only the junior sister Li'er and junior brother Xiaopang and Gao Jie. Li'er vows to take revenge, is determined to revive the Jingwu Sect, and wants to defect to the public Xu Wanlai outside the martial arts forces in Taiwan

Zou Wenhuai was silent for a long time, and suddenly said with an idea: "Go to Yiyi to cooperate, she has played a rival role with Bruce Lee in "Tangshan Big Brother", the audience will be very familiar with the old face, and other personnel can contact the contact, if you can't contact it, you can find someone who has cooperated with Bruce Lee and has not been signed by Concord to play, if it really doesn't work, there is no need to shoot according to the script, in short, you can just watch and deal with this matter." ”

After the script problem was solved, Golden Harvest's propaganda machine began to exert its power under Du Huidong's full helm, holding a press conference and distributing posters to promote "Game of Death" as Bruce Lee's unfinished posthumous work, which can be called "the pinnacle work of fist and foot fighting in the international film industry", and hyped "New Jingwumen" as an expected masterpiece of "reproducing the power of the Raptors".

This can stir up the appetite of Hong Kong citizens, people Golden Harvest has Bruce Lee's peak posthumous work, this time they are making a joint venture with Hollywood's Warner big company, "Game of Death" will be released in Hong Kong and Hollywood at the same time! For a while, Jiahe's popularity was bursting, and a grand opening ceremony was held, and Li's TV station was invited to broadcast it, which was very lively. At the same time, Luo Wei also rushed to Taiwan with the crew to shoot "New Jingwumen", Luo Wei made a bold statement to reporters before leaving Hong Kong: Give me half a month, and then you will see the classic film of "Jingwu Spirit is still there", which will only be more exciting and better than "Jingwumen"!

The "infringement" lawsuit continues, but the lawsuit has escalated to a war of words between the barristers of both sides, and the citizens no longer pay attention to this incident, they are all looking forward to the stars and the moon and waiting for the release of Golden Harvest's two new films.

Wang Xiaohu has not been idle during this time, and he is very low-key in selecting actors for the TV series "Jingwumen", and the cast of "Jingwumen" in his memory is very luxurious, whether it is Donnie Yen, Kaohsiung, Lin Zhihao, Xiong Xinxin, Cong Shan, Yin Tianzhao, Liu Zhirong are all famous actors in Hong Kong, and there are many old faces in Hong Kong movies and TV series, in short, in the seventies that Wang Xiaohu is currently in, these actors are either babbling children, or have not yet debuted.

How to choose the right actor to interpret this TV series has become Wang Xiaohu's first thing. After his memory and the re-creation of the script, he believes that the film can be divided into three camps, namely Jingwumen, Qingbang, and Yueben, and the others are more or less supporting roles, and there is no need to elaborate in detail.

With the collective participation of Wang Xiaohu and Run Run Shaw and others, the list of actors of "Jingwumen" was basically determined. Wang Xiaohu plays Chen Zhen, which is understandable, Huo Yuanjia's candidate was determined to be Liu Jialiang, originally Run Run Shaw proposed to let Guan Dexing play it, Wang Xiaohu thought about it for a long time and felt unrealistic, according to Guan Dexing's decades of experience as Huang Feihong, both his image and qualifications are very prominent, and he is the best choice for Huo Yuanjia. Wang Xiaohu felt that Guan Dexing was too old and his movements were too old.

After doing ideological work for Run Run Shaw for a long time, he let Liu Jialiang play it. Don't look at Liu Jialiang's youth at this time (also in his thirties!) But he rarely plays the leading actor or a supporting actor with more scenes, and there is a lot of pressure to play a hero like Huo Yuanjia for the first time, but he didn't tell others that this pressure was brought to him from Wang Xiaohu, what happened to Huang Feihong's authentic heir? In the face of Wang Xiaohu, the best martial arts instructor in Asia, Huang Feihong's authentic heirs are also weak-hearted!

Liu Zhensheng is famous in history, and he is called "Liu Xiaobraid" by the people of the rivers and lakes, and the Shaw Brothers can't find the best candidate, so Wang Xiaohu directly asked Lin Zhengying to play it. Since the death of Brother Xiaolong, Lin Zhengying and Chen Huiyi, the right-hand men of Brother Xiaolong, suddenly wilted, Wang Xiaohu would not see these two depressed, and directly invited them to the Dragon and Tiger Martial Arts Association as lecturers, teaching the second batch of students how to be excellent martial artists and human sandbags.

There is a reason why Wang Xiaohu did this, he wanted to put Lin Zhengying by his side, as a reborn person, he knew Lin Zhengying's status in zombie films, and no one was more suitable to be a Taoist chief than Lin Zhengying, but now is not the time to shoot a zombie series, and it has become a top priority to give "Uncle Nine" a serious job.

The disciples of Jingwumen installed second-tier actors from the two major companies of Concord and Shaw Brothers, including people like Wan Hanfei, Luo Jianhua, Wu Mengda, and Ren Dahua, who were not yet famous. Yuan Hua and Yuan Qiu were specially arranged by Wang Xiaohu to be "Ye Dachang and his wife", and from now on they will start cultivating the two as a husband and wife on the screen.

There are also a lot of scenes on the side of the Green Gang, Cai Liujin, who is both righteous and evil but has the heart to serve the country, was played by Shi Jian, Shi Jian was very happy after reading the script, and he was grateful to Wang Xiaohu: "Xiaohu, Uncle Jian has been filming for decades, and it is the first time to have such a decent role!" ”

Wang Xiaohu can understand this mood, it is a tragedy for anyone to be stereotyped as a villain for a lifetime, and now Cai Liujin played by Shi Jian is a little different from the original Liu Guangrong in terms of age, but he believes that an old actor like Shi Jian will grasp the proportions.

Chow Yun-fat came to play Cai Liujin's son - Cai Xuefu, this is a role that the audience hates to the bones, Li Zhao's outstanding performance in "Ip Man" made Wang Xiaohu not consider letting Fa Ge play it directly, this kind of role can squeeze Fa Ge's potential greatly, and it is the best way to improve his acting skills.

In this era, only Wang Mingquan can interpret that kind of mature and charming acting skills, according to Wang Xiaohu's original intention, this role was originally played by Miao Kexiu, but unfortunately Sister Xiu's acting skills have been fixed in purity, and she can't show the taste of wind and dust that Wang Xiaohu wants, as long as she stops.
