Chinese Kung Fu and Western boxing are two different sports entirely. 【】

Although people are curious to know whether it is Chinese kung fu or boxing bull forks, so far no one has acted on it.

Just as you can't compare football or basketball, Chinese kung fu and Western boxing can't be compared.

In the previous life, China and the United States also had this kind of confrontation, but it was not Chinese kung fu that played on the court, but Chinese sanda. If you have to impose a comparison, Chinese Kung Fu has an advantage in rules,

Chinese Sanda pays attention to punches, feet, and wrestling, and even a backhand punch when the body is slipping, and the Yankees are punched without knowing it, how can there be such a way of fighting in boxing?

The United States only knows how to punch and suffers losses.

It's just that these are commercial competition programs, Wang Xiaohu knows very well in his heart that if all MMA unlimited fighting mode is used to carry out, only the Chinese fighters will suffer, and there is a saying: "Chinese grow up eating vegetables, and foreigners grow up eating beef." "Chinese people have a congenital weakness in terms of physical fitness.

Unless there are Chinese people such as Guo Yunshen, Li Shuwen, Wang Ziping, Li Cunyi, Sun Lutang, Huo Yuanjia (friends who know national art know that Huo Yuanjia cannot be compared with the previous ones) and other masters of national art in the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China.

But if you ask Wang Xiaohu who is a cow, he must say that it varies from person to person, if you don't practice well, you won't be good, and if you practice well, you can compare with a specific person, not with sports.

This is also why Bruce Lee has always emphasized that "there is no best martial arts, only the best martial artists".

Ali was hailed as one of the world's greatest boxing champions, and when he heard that Wang Xiaohu was going to shoot a movie about Chinese kung fu and boxing matches, and he wanted to hire himself as a boxing consultant for the film, he was stunned on the spot.

How to fight in fighting sports that are not related to the wind and the cow and the horse?

Wang Xiaohu directly threw out a standard answer: "Fight according to the script!" I'm sure there's no one in the world who has a bigger say in boxing than you, old man, how about thinking about it? ”

This sentence not only gave Ali full face, but also gave him a lot of curiosity, and sure enough, Ali smiled on the other end of the phone and said, "Don't think about it, Tiger, I really want to know how you want to arrange this different type of fighting confrontation now!" In a few days, I will fly to Hong Kong to meet with you. ”

"Ok, thank you for the light, I will prepare the best tea in Hong Kong for you!"

Wang Xiaohu hung up the phone and clapped his hands, looked at Yuan Heping, who was already dumbfounded, and said, "It's done!" ”

"It's too fast!"

Yuan Heping swallowed two mouthfuls of saliva, and said in his heart that the other party is the world boxing champion, Ah Hu has done it in a few words, and it has gone well, right? Think about it, just to get rid of a few small sects in Hong Kong, it takes a lot of effort, people are just a phone call, a few words to win the other party, the gap, not the general gap!

"Quick?" Wang Xiaohu frowned, and said to Yuan Heping: "Big eyes, this opportunity is rare, you may learn something from the boxing champion, you must know that he is the world boxing champion, not those third-rate boxers in Hong Kong!" ”

"Yes, yes!" Yuan Heping nodded hurriedly

When the Spring Festival was approaching, John Woo led the crew of "Seraph" back to Hong Kong, and Wang Xiaohu personally greeted him at the airport.

How to say that John Woo is also the second Chinese director of Concord International to open the market in Hollywood, and his previous work "First Blood" was not released in Hong Kong, so most people don't know how powerful he is, and only the core members who understand the core members of "First Blood" at the North American box office can understand John Woo's directing style.

For John Woo, Wang Xiaohu still has a lot of ideas.

Returning to the company's car, Wang Xiaohu listened to Wu Yusen's work report in detail.

"Overall, the filming of "Seraph" went relatively smoothly, and 90% of the filming plan has been completed, and the rest are a few small emotional scenes."

"Seraph" covers almost all aspects of action-adventure, kung fu and martial arts in the future, and its shooting task cannot be said to be arduous, John Woo was able to complete 90% of the film in three months, and it is completely conceivable how intense its shooting is.

Wang Xiaohu asked John Woo to direct, first, to cultivate his practical experience in international blockbusters, and to get American audiences accustomed to his film style.

In the previous life, this possibility is very small, but now it is different, Concord International has become a fixed dish for North American audiences, not only the blockbuster directed by Wang Xiaohu can be sold in North America, but even the films with surrounding satellite companies will be distributed in North America.

Don't forget that Concord still has more than 200 movie theaters in North America, which plays a key role in opening up the market for Hong Kong films in North America.

Most Americans have gradually changed their inherent prejudice against Hong Kong films, especially Wang Xiaohu's several commercial blockbusters have kung fu, martial arts and other factors, which can attract batches of American audiences and cultivate batches of martial arts fans and kung fu fans.

The general environment has matured, and John Woo's journey to Hollywood is much smoother than in his previous life!

"Daniel was very involved on the set, except for a few stunts such as flying car stunts that he was not capable of, the rest of the action was done by himself." John Woo praised Donnie Yen: "All the martial arts design movements were done by him alone, which relieved me a lot of work pressure. ”。

Wang Xiaohu raised his eyebrows, looked at Donnie Yen, who was still a little shy, and said, "Really? ”

Donnie Yen smiled and said, "It's Brother Sen's good teaching, I'm just running errands and making some effort." ”

Wang Xiaohu nodded when he heard this, Donnie Yen was quite satisfied with his answer.

Young people, they should have run more errands and done more practical things, don't you think the Seven Little Blessing brothers came over like this?

"Brother Tiger, Zhong Chuhong's schedule within a month after the Spring Festival must be grabbed, I am worried that it will affect the filming of "Seraph". John Woo said.

"There is no problem with this, I asked people to contact me early in the morning, Wang Jing was more face-saving, and promised to postpone the filming of "Flower Heart" for a period of time." Wang Xiaohu said, thought about it and added: "Ah John, I need Adan to shoot the sequel to "Ip Man", it won't take too long, about a week." ”

Wang Xiaohu said that a week is a week, and those who have worked with him know his temper, and his shooting efficiency is top-notch in Hong Kong.

The filming of the sequel to "Ip Man" is not like commercial blockbusters like "Myth" and "Mulan", which requires very few actors and special effects, and in terms of kung fu film shooting, Wang Xiaohu has always been a fast gunner!

Some people once exaggerated Wang Xiaohu and said: His brain is like a super projector, others shoot movies in a row with several backup plans, and only when editing do you know which shot can best express the director's intentions.

Wang Xiaohu is different, he personally drilled the script to every detail, as if he had filtered the whole movie in his mind when he wrote the script, knowing whether every picture, every plot, every action, and every actor's performance meets the requirements.

It is said that the movies made by this efficient shooting method should be miserable, but this sentence will not work here in Wang Xiaohu, each of his works has a representative surname, accurate positioning of the audience, business, box office, etc., and all of them are excellent!

This is also the fundamental reason why Concord International can be based in Hong Kong, expand to the mainland, and export to the world.

Wu Yusen almost didn't hesitate and said with a smile: "No problem! ”

Wu Yusen is not a fool, he can see that Wang Xiaohu takes special care of Donnie Yen, just like Wang Xiaohu took special care of himself at the beginning.

After all, the influence of Concorde International is here, if Donnie Yen doesn't have a skill, Wang Xiaohu won't praise him vigorously, who will directly be the leading actor of an international blockbuster as soon as he comes up?

No! This is absolutely nothing in the history of Hong Kong cinema.

Some people may say that Jet Li became an instant hit with "Shaolin Temple", and it is true that he became an instant hit, but Li Lianjie's first work was to play Wang Xiaohu's son in "Hong Xiguan", and "Shaolin Temple" is not an international investment film, and it cannot be compared with "Seraph" in terms of scale!

Now Wang Xiaohu is going to let Donnie Yen star in the gold signature "Ip Man" he created, and the blind man understands that Wang Xiaohu is going to make him popular!

Wu Yusen certainly understood the ingenuity in his words, and he agreed very painfully.

However, Donnie Yen was a little shocked when he heard the news, scratched his head for a long time before he came to his senses, and he smirked at the master, and the joy and excitement in his heart could not be expressed for a while

After returning to the company, the secretary told Wang Xiaohu that the Governor of Hong Kong had called.

"Do you know what's going on?" Wang Xiaohu asked.

The secretary shook his head and said, "I don't know." Just ask you to see him if you have time. ”

Wang Xiaohu nodded and asked the secretary to go down.

The Governor of Hong Kong called me to come over, what should I talk about?

He didn't think that Hong Kong Governor MacLehose would be idle and talk to himself, but he must have talked about something important.

Frowning and thinking for a while, Wang Xiaohu guessed what MacLehose was going to talk to him about.

"It's definitely related to the sequel to "Ip Man"!" Wang Xiaohu smiled, it seems that the news delivered by "Xindao Yuebao" is quite fast, it has only been less than half a day, and the Governor of Hong Kong has already known about this matter.

This is the only thing that can have the Governor of Lao Hong Kong call to inquire in person.

I believe that the high-level management of "Niejima Lai Bao" must have told MacLehose in detail about the contradictions between China and Britain in the sequel to "Ip Man", and even the Hong Kong Governor's think tank must have been carefully considered, otherwise the Hong Kong Governor would not have let himself go over to talk in such a hurry.

After shaking his head with a wry smile, Wang Xiaohu sighed, changed into a more solemn outfit, and drove towards the Hong Kong Governor's Office.
