Since Wang Xiaohu's debut, he has left a very deep impression on Hong Kong citizens: he will always be a pioneer in the field of film, and the national integrity in "Ip Man" is second only to Chen Zhen in "Jingwumen", and he is listed as the second most popular character in the special investigation of "Film Fortnightly", and the first belongs to Bruce Lee. 【Reading.com】

But most of the viewers surveyed reacted like this: "Ip Man" is better than "Jingwumen", as for why it is good, there are various reasons, but many people unanimously agree that "Ip Man" is cool! It's a relief! As a result, in the past few years, the number of additional screenings of "Ip Man" has exceeded that of "Jingwumen", and the cumulative box office in Hong Kong alone has exceeded more than 30 million Hong Kong dollars, and it has always occupied the hegemony of the box office list since the opening of Hong Kong, you must know that the cumulative box office of "Jingwumen" is only 28 million.

As for the Tangshan he portrayed before, and Ah Hu after him, although the cumulative box office of the two movies ranked in the top ten of the overall list, they have never been able to surpass the image of "Ip Man".

Wang Xiaohu starred in three movies, which became popular in the two major fields of kung fu films and urban fashion films in the early Republic of China, including a popular TV series version of "Jingwumen", which was recently moved out by TVB to fight with Jiayi, whenever there is a crisis in TVB's ratings, Fang Yihua asks people to replay "Jingwumen", from making three episodes a day to one episode every two weeks now, it has become the treasure of TVB's dominance in ratings.

Now, Wang Xiaohu is marching into costume martial arts films again, judging from the promotional posters and trailers of TVB TV, this time Wang Xiaohu is based on the recently filmed "Hong Xiguan", which somewhat disappointed fans who are looking forward to Wang Xiaohu to expand his territory and create new types and new styles of movies.

When interviewed by reporters, Wang Xiaohu said with a smile: "How can there be so many innovations in this world, the so-called innovation is to add something different on the basis of the predecessors, as long as these things are refreshing to you, that is the factor of box office success, that is, everyone often says that old bottles of new wine." ”

Wang Xiaohu said what he said is true, except for a very few types of founding schools in the film circle, the subsequent films are refined in terms of details according to these genres, such as the most popular kung fu movies nowadays, there were no kung fu films at the earliest, but costume martial arts films, and before that, it was dominated by Peking opera, and many martial arts films in the silent film era were based on Peking Opera, after several generations of inheritance and enrichment, in the mid-to-late 60s, Zhang Che, Hu Jinquan and other talents formalized, entertained, Commercialization.

Exploring its source is inseparable from this model after all, but Wang Xiaohu's concept is not approved by most people, and many people have begun to think that Wang Xiaohu's donkey skills are poor.

More people think that Wang Xiaohu has begun to learn to be cautious, after all, everyone knows that Wang Xiaohu was at the peak of his career last year, quietly wandering around the mainland for a month, just encountered the Tangshan earthquake at that time, and some well-informed people heard that Wang Xiaohu invested no less than 200 million yuan in the mainland this time, but the result was no return, and he was blocked by Taiwan.

So this group of people decided that Wang Xiaohu had lost his family business, and some people even speculated that Wang Xiaohu was on the verge of bankruptcy, anyway, there was everything in the market, why not shoot a genre movie that others made badly, isn't this obviously following the trend to make money?

Of course, there are also a group of people who don't think so, because judging from the lineup of posters and trailers, "Hong Xiguan" includes three generations of very popular actors this time, from the old drama bones Yu Suqiu, Qin Pei, Xie Xian, the backbone Wang Xiaohu, Pan Yingzi, Wu Mengda, young actors Stephen Chow, Andy Lau and others, it can be regarded as a luxury lineup in any movie, especially in the poster or trailer, there is a strange little actor named Jet Li who has a lot of special roles.

Jet Li is the stage name given to Li Zhengdong by Wang Xiaohu, and when the name was taken, Jin Yong also brought his eldest son Zha Chuanxia to visit.

"Lian Jie's name is good, he has won the title of martial arts champion many times in a row, an outstanding representative, very good, very good." Jin Yong nodded again and again, "But I also have a name for him." ”

"Oh? What is it called? Wang Xiaohu asked with a smile.

"Li Yangzhong." Jin Yong smiled and said. (According to the information, Jin Yong's name for Jet Li is indeed Li Yangzhong, and it is not made up here.) "Wonder King Chongyang? Wang Xiaohu frowned, and asked with a strange expression: "I still want to remember that Wang Chengxiang is called Zhongshentong, Lao Dou, your name is really vulgar!" ”

Jin Yong's face was stunned and embarrassed, and this martial arts master was rarely embarrassed. Obviously, Jin Yong was lazy this time, but he was caught by Wang Xiaohu. After coughing hard, he changed the topic and said, "Xiaohu, I have to thank you for your help this time." Chuanxia, don't you want to thank your big brother? ”

Wang Xiaohu had already noticed Chuanxia, but he wasn't sure of his name at first, but now when he heard the word Chuanxia, he smiled happily at the moment.

Why laugh? Because Cha Chuanxia is still standing in front of him now, this shows that Jin Yong listened to his advice a year ago and worked very hard to improve the communication with his son, a "The Story of Ah Lang" can make the martial arts master avoid the tragedy of life, it is strange that Wang Xiaohu can be unhappy!

"Big brother, thank you for "Ah Lang's Story", it is very timely and beautiful." Cha Chuanxia is not as chivalrous as his name literally, he speaks more like a polite scholar, he is two years older than Wang Xiaohuxiao, and naturally calls him eldest brother.

"It's just a movie, it's nothing." Wang Xiaohu smiled and patted Zha Chuanxia's shoulder and said: "Young people should sometimes think more about the elderly, after all, you are Lao Dou's most beloved eldest son, even if the old man does something that is not satisfactory to him, you should be considerate." ”

"That's what Big Brother said." Cha Chuanxia humbly accepted the education.

Wang Xiaohu looked at Jin Yong again, saw that he was looking at this side with a smile on his face, and said at the moment: "Lao Dou, you are really lucky, my new film "Hong Xiguan" this time is also based on the relationship between father and son, don't forget to watch it then." ”

"That's nature, that's nature!" Jin Yong laughed and said: "I like to watch your movies, although sometimes the smell of copper is too strong, but it can reflect a lot of touching truths." ”

During the whole process, Jet Li has been obediently sitting next to him and listening, except for worship, he has no other words to describe his mood at this time.

Huang Zhan and Gu Jiahui finally rushed to produce the background music of "Men Should Be Self-Improvement" before the film was perfected, due to the rush of time, this song adapted from "General Order" is not perfect, at least Huang Zhan repeatedly apologized to Wang Xiaohu when he sent the sample, saying that the lyrics have not been filled in yet, who let Wang Xiaohu give a big problem?

Wang Xiaohu smiled and said nothing, this matter is really embarrassing, but the sample music of "Men Should Be Self-Improvement" is still good, except for a few differences from the memory, it basically maintains the original style. Wang Xiaohu picked up the pen and revised it in a few places, and sent it directly to Xia Houmo, the music department in charge of Concord.

"Play this piece as fast as you can, and I'll hear the taste." Wang Xiaohu's words were like a war, and Xiahou Mo naturally didn't dare to slack off, and it took less than a quarter of an hour to gather people and horses to start getting familiar with the tune.

Huang Zhan hugged his arms and looked at the side and said, "Xiaohu, when did you have such a capable female disciple?" ”

"Disciple? Brother Zhan, this is my employee! Wang Xiaohu rolled his eyes and said: "It's Linda's friend, a music student who came back from studying in the United States, who has been working in our company for four or five years, and is very talented in music." ”

"Oh? More proficient than you? Huang Zhan asked with a wink of gossip eyes.

"Isn't this nonsense, people are professional, I'm an amateur, there's no comparison." Wang Xiaohu said with a smile.

Huang Zhan nodded vigorously, and suddenly asked, "Is she married?" At first glance, this little ass must be a chick, do you have a boyfriend? ”

Wang Xiaohu glared, swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said, "Brother Zhan, don't you want to?"

"No way?" Huang Zhan snorted.

"Okay! Yes! Please, I wish you success! ”

Wang Xiaohu's hatred of giving up made Huang Zhan slightly surprised, and said in his heart, is there something strange here, at this moment, a burst of Xiao Kill music suddenly came out of the recording studio, and this kind of music is a little exciting in Xiao Killing.

When the music was one-tenth of the way through, Huang Zhan suddenly woke up, "This, isn't this the tune I just sent, you have modified it?" ”

"Yes! Is there something wrong? Wang Xiaohu asked, just now he had been closing his eyes and savoring it, and he always felt that there were shortcomings, so he was directly used in the competition of Hong Wending's victory over the four groups of Shaolin, which was a little dry, and he was thinking about how to improve it, and Leng Buding was interrupted by Huang Zhan.

"It's completely different from what you're asking for!" Huang Zhan said.

"Hehe, if you don't modify it, it doesn't match the theme of the film." Wang Xiaohu explained with a wry smile that "Men Should Be Self-Improvement" is a sunny and inspiring song, while "Hong Xiguan" seems to have a bit of a murderous atmosphere in terms of overall style, and it really can't be used directly if it is not modified.

"So, should I continue to fill in the words?" Huang Zhan sighed and said, "You kid threw down a topic and left, can't you give a few hints?" ”

"Arrogant in the face of ten thousand waves, hot blood is like that red light" Wang Xiaohu opened his mouth and sang the beginning of two sentences with enthusiasm.

"Go on, why is it gone?" Just the beginning of the two sentences, Huang Zhan has heard the taste, he is a professional master of lyrics, although the fourteen words are few, but the masculine and bloody momentum is vividly interpreted, I am listening to it, but Wang Xiaohu stopped singing, how can you let Huang Zhan agree.

"It's gone! I haven't thought about it either, you can deal with it later, I believe you! After Wang Xiaohu finished speaking casually, he went to Xiahou Mo to discuss the revision.
