087 Borrowing the east wind, congratulating the opening
As Wang Xiaohu told Yuan Heping, the story background of "Righteous Heroes" was set in the early days of the Republic of China, and according to his original idea, it was to reproduce the classic fight scenes in the film, but after searching through his brain several times, he finally sadly found that even if the same action and the same era, because the director and the martial arts director had different understandings of the script, the designed actions also had great differences.
"Hey! Forget it, what is Fei that bird doing to redesign the action scenes of this film once? Wang Xiaohu shook his head with a little headache, and decided not to consider designing actions through memories, but this decision made the big stone blocked in his heart move away, and he instantly had a sudden enlightenment.
As in real life, there is no martial arts action that is detached from the prescribed plot, and even if it is designed, it gives the audience a very unreal feeling, and the punches and kicks of the characters in the fight are based on the actor's own situation, plus the fight scenes complement each other. In other words, if the psychological plot of the two people in the fight is different, the resulting actions are also different.
After Wang Xiaohu finished the action design of "Jingwumen", he once sat at his desk overnight to summarize the experience of martial arts instructors, after all, he couldn't rely on plagiarism and copying to improve those classics of the year, just like under his own intervention, the "Jingwumen" that Hong Kong citizens see now is no longer the version they saw in their previous life, and the three versions of martial arts are very different, especially Jet Li's version of Chen Zhen, who is a pacifist in a tunic suit, and has a great contrast with the previous Chen Zhen's patriotic and anti-Japanese surnames. Therefore, when I designed the martial arts movements, I tried my best to modify a lot of movements, increasing my in-depth understanding of Chen Zhen, so that the three versions of Chen Zhen's martial arts styles were as similar as possible, giving people the feeling of being in the same vein.
"Raptors Across the River" is about to start, and Wang Xiaohu, as the film's martial arts instructor and screenwriter, had to stop working on the action design of "Righteous Heroes", and was caught by Bruce Lee to hold a press conference.
The location of the press conference was not selected in the conference room of Golden Harvest, but was forcibly moved by Wang Xiaohu to the "Bruce Lee Restaurant" to be held, Zou Wenhuai and Bruce Lee also expressed some slight words, but Wang Xiaohu pouted and said: "The restaurant has been renovated, and the opening time has not been chosen. ”
was scolded by Bruce Lee with a smile "ghosts, businessmen, capitalists", Wang Xiaohu shrugged his shoulders disapprovingly, talking about the lack of use of resources is simply a waste, now he can spend less, and take the opportunity of "Raptors Across the River" to take the opportunity to promote his own restaurant, it doesn't seem to be an excessive thing.
A group of media reporters rushed to Bruce Lee's restaurant with great difficulty, sweating profusely, holding various machines to interview the crew of "Raptors Crossing the River", who knew that they were frightened by the deafening sound of firecrackers after getting out of the car, and a group of people stared at each other without knowing what kind of battle this was.
"Is there any mistake, it's just a boot ceremony, it's so grand!"
"Yes, I heard that Bruce Lee threatened to go to Europe for filming this time, this is the first film in the history of Hong Kong film to be filmed in Europe, and such a grand scene is reasonable."
"Then I'll have to ask more about how much investment is made in this film."
Just when the reporters were discussing in a whisper, the door of the "Bruce Lee Restaurant" suddenly became lively, and today were not only the reporters who rushed to interview after hearing the news, but also many Bruce Lee fans, who inquired about the address early in the morning, and had already put the water around the place to leak through, and the noise just now was made by the fans, because they saw Bruce Lee wearing sunglasses and a formal suit smiling and waving.
"Xiaohu, why are so many people here today?" Bruce Lee saw nearly 100 enthusiastic fans, tilted his head slightly and whispered to Wang Xiaohu who was standing beside him.
Wang Xiaohu laughed in a low voice and said: "Maybe they feel that you haven't appeared in front of the media for a long time, and they are a little too lovesick for you." ”
"Really?" When Bruce Lee heard Wang Xiaohu say this, he had to shake his head with a wry smile and continue to smile at the fans.
Wang Xiaohu was snickering in his heart, if he let Bruce Lee know that in order to increase the popularity of the restaurant's opening, he sent Yuan Biao and others to spread the news that "Bruce Lee's restaurant will open in two days, and Bruce Lee will cook on the spot in person" two days in advance, I don't know if he will be furious, it is obvious that he is playing his banner again this time, and he is still in the dark.
The opening of the restaurant naturally has to hire a lion dance team to help the fun, but Wang Xiaohu in order to save expenses, directly let the members of the Seven Little Fortune guest lion dance team, Yuan Heping, who has been immersed in silver in the film and television industry for many years, has played a great role this time, although he is a northern martial artist, but often exchanges experience with Liu Jialiang and other southern martial arts instructors, this southern lion dance has also been learned by him, in the crackling firecrackers, Yuan Heping, Yuan Xiangren brothers two first appeared, followed by Sammo Hung, Yuan Biao and others, for a time there is also a look.
Wang Xiaohu asked Yuanqiu to come up to the tray, and there were four scissors with red ribbons on the tray, and said with a smile: "Boss Zou, Brother Xiaolong, Sister A Xiu, the time is almost up, please help cut the ribbon!" ”
Zou Wenhuai, Bruce Lee, and Miao Kexiu picked up scissors from the tray when they heard this.
Another burst of firecrackers sounded, the sound of gongs and drums was deafening, the lions danced in front of the door, and the four of them successfully cut the ribbon in a celebratory voice.
"Wishing you prosperity!" Bruce Lee and the three of them bowed their hands to Wang Xiaohu, Wang Xiaohu smiled in return, and then waved his right hand naturally into the restaurant and said, "Welcome, bring the red envelope." ”
Miao Kexiu pursed her lips and teased with a smile: "Ah Hu, did anyone tell you that you are now full of copper stench." ”
Zou Wenhuai just laughed and didn't speak, Bruce Lee stretched out his index finger and pointed at Wang Xiaohu, and then made a helpless gesture and walked into the restaurant first.
The fans outside saw the four of them walk into the restaurant, and rushed in with them, and the door of the restaurant was almost squeezed out.
"Don't grab it, this is the seat I occupied."
"This son is not from your family, whoever sits first will be counted."
Such noises came and went, and fans hated to move for a seat, which tired the Seven Xiaofu brothers and sisters, and they made a cameo appearance as waiters at this time, and they fought back and forth.
"There were so many people on the first day of opening, so it seems that today's income must be indispensable." Bruce Lee is not good at business, but he can guess by the overcrowded hall.
"Waiter, I order the dishes made by Bruce Lee himself!"
"What do you want to eat?"
"Whatever, as long as it's made by Bruce Lee himself."
Bruce Lee, who was going up the stairs, moved his ears, and immediately turned around and looked at Wang Xiaohu suspiciously, saying, "What does this mean?" ”
Wang Xiaohu grinned, and was thinking about how to perfunctory Bruce Lee, when Yuan Biao's voice came from outside the restaurant: "Ah Hu, there is a beautiful woman looking for you!" ”
