The first set of 5-second special effects shots of "Shocking" was successfully synthesized, which greatly inspired everyone at "Industrial Light & Magic". 【】

Come to think of it, the difficulty of cutting three boxes of six-hour film into less than three minutes of film is already an epoch-making feat in itself.

"You don't have to work today, let's go to the most luxurious hotel in Bangkok!" Wang Xiaohu is also a happy person, his employees have made good results, he will definitely not be stingy as a boss, as long as he can do a good job, he should be appropriately relaxed.

Wang Xiaohu called the branch, and after a while, the staff of the branch rented two buses and came over, and a group of more than 50 people rushed to Bangkok.

After suffocating in the countryside of Bangkok for nearly a month, it really suffocated these young men. As soon as you enter the city of Bangkok, several groups of people immediately divide into several groups to go shopping, go to Pattaya chic chic, as long as you can meet at the largest hotel in Bangkok in the evening.

Wang Xiaohu took Lucas and Spielberg to a movie theater under the branch.

There are two posters posted at the door of the theater, one of which is a local Thai movie, and the other is painted with a chubby Sammo Hung, yes, today is not only the day when "Industrial Light and Magic" has made a major breakthrough, but also the day when "Lin Shirong" was released in the entire Southeast Asian region, and the person in charge of the branch just told Wang Xiaohu on the bus.

"Speaking of which, Sanmao must blame me." Wang Xiaohu smiled bitterly and shook his head.

In the past, whenever a film was released in the company, Wang Xiaohu, as a producer, would definitely go to the show, but now that he is far away in Thailand, he naturally can't fly over to participate in the film release, he can imagine Sammo Hung's disappointed expression at this time.

"George, Steven, here is going to screen a kung fu movie starring my big brother, and take you over to appreciate the charm of Hong Kong movies." After sitting down, Wang Xiaohu said to the two fierce generals with a smile.

At this time, Sammo Hung was playing on the screen selling big meat dumplings in the downtown area, and none of the zongzi were sold, but they were deceived by Zeng Zhiwei and them, this plot immediately caused laughter among everyone in the theater, and the audience laughed at Sammo Hung's Lin Shirong's stupid hat.

"Boss, I'm afraid I can't understand this kind of humor." Spielberg shrugged and said, "I don't see the slightest laugh, not even as enjoyable as your 'IP-Man'." ”

"It's just a gap between Chinese and Western cultures." Wang Xiaohu nodded, the gap between Chinese and Western cultures has caused a big difference between the films of the two places, and the humorous scenes that make people laugh locally may not be effective in other positions, which is the essential gap and the difference in appreciation tastes. Wang Xiaohu was not surprised at all.

Throughout the history of the development of Hong Kong films, since the opening of the port has formed an indissoluble bond with the United States, in the silent film era, several Chinese directors have worked in Hollywood, the founder of Daguansheng Film Co., Ltd. Kwan Wenqing has served as a consultant for Griffith's "Tears of Broken Flowers", and Hollywood films have also landed in Hong Kong since the 20s, in 1937, "La Traviata" was adapted into Cantonese films and Cantonese opera was widely circulated in Hong Kong, and in the more than 20 years after World War II, The production methods and lighting styles of the United States greatly influenced the development of Cantonese films, and Hong Kong once lagged behind.

This backwardness has continued, and several generations of Hong Kong filmmakers have also used their own practical actions to integrate with international standards, and this dream was finally realized until the era of Bruce Lee, but Bruce Lee was like a flash in the pan, so that the dream of Hong Kong filmmakers died again, fortunately, fortunately, Wang Xiaohu took over the mantle.

Hong Kong is not Hollywood after all, the local taste here is too unique, many Hong Kong films are not acceptable to American audiences at all, among popular movies, Hollywood is the most realistic in details, subtle in writing, and convincing in plot.

To use the simplest analogy, it is also a martial arts film, Shaw Brothers sent "The First Punch in the World" to Hollywood in the early years of the superman image flying all over the sky, but the superman in the minds of Americans is a superman who wears underwear and has a big "S" logo on his chest, so those Hong Kong "supermen" are bound to not get their approval, they can't accept an Oriental flying in the sky for no reason, at the very least, you can let the protagonist be an immigrant from an alien planet, but Hong Kong movies don't consider these details, They think it's common in the East, but they ignore the essential issue of cultural surprise.

Therefore, Bruce Lee's real kung fu movie does not have the image of a superman flying in the sky, but uses real kung fu with one punch and one kick to defeat the strong, and the national integrity and personal heroism are vividly displayed, which just caters to the taste of Americans.

It must be said that Wang Xiaohu's subsequent "Ip Man" can be regarded as borrowing Bruce Lee's east wind, which has left a deep impression on many Americans.

Let Hong Kong movies be accepted by Hollywood audiences, so it has become a problem for Wang Xiaohu to think about at present, he brought Lucas and Spielberg here today, it is this plan, he wants to hear the opinions of two new Hollywood directors.

"If I want to make Hong Kong movies acceptable to American audiences, what do I need to do?" Wang Xiaohu asked humbly.

"First of all, the logical aspect must be passed." Lucas, who was silent for a while, suddenly spoke: "Steven, this film is not without merit, I have long known that the films made by the filmmakers under Concord are very different from other Hong Kong companies. ”

"Oh? Is it? Spielberg became interested and set his sights on the big screen, at this time, Gao Batianlai Bao Zhilin was furious, and Huang Feihong (played by Kwan Dexing) used the brush in his hand to fight with him, and this martial arts design was written by Yuan Heping.

"Maybe you're right!" The look on Spielberg's face grew serious.

The fight is eye-catching, and although Lucas and Spielberg can't understand what the film is about, they can still get a glimpse of the story through the English subtitles below.

"If that's what you're talking about, there are a lot of such employees in our company." Wang Xiaohu smiled.

Logical? It seems that this is what the so-called logic of the Americans means. is also a cornice, if you don't give the actor a focus point to let him fly up a second time, Americans will think that this thing is unreasonable, there is no mechanical basis, hanging tightropes flying all over the sky is a big joke, and Americans will not take it seriously. ("Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is a special case, but there is a lot of logic in the details, plus the influence of Jackie Chan, Donnie Yen, Jet Li and other martial arts kung fu films on Americans at that time, plus Ang Lee's in-depth analysis of American culture, a great success is inevitable.) Kwan Tak-hing has been the face of the film Wong Fei Hung almost since the 40s, and he is listed in the Guinness Book of World Records for the most times he has played the same role. Mr. Guan was born in Cantonese opera, and his basic skills and spirit are not bad, of course, it is not realistic to let a septuagenarian shoot a real thing.

Through the confrontation of two brushes on four-foot rice paper, Yuan Heping cleverly designed the elderly Huang Feihong's generous surname and superior kung fu. Not only does the quality of "convincing people with virtue with martial arts" in traditional culture be vividly displayed on paper with specific moves, but also the surnames of the pros and cons are also clear at a glance.

The detailed "freehand" technique in this kind of action is truly unmatched. Even Spielberg thinks that this passage is very reasonable, very in line with the demeanor of an elderly martial artist, the key is that the old man's movements just now are in line with the mechanical basis, that is, in line with the logic he thinks.

"Boss, you just said that there are many such talents?" Lucas asked.

"Of course! If you have time, you can meet them up and talk to them more. Wang Xiaohu nodded: "Moreover, don't you think that if "Star Wars" integrates kung fu characteristics, it will be more interesting?" ”

"Oh God!" Lucas patted his head vigorously, "I didn't even think of that!" ”

He clenched his fists excitedly and said, "No, I should say that I haven't thought about this aspect for a year, if you hadn't reminded me, I'm afraid I'd miss such a great opportunity, Tiger, you have to help me complete this matter." ”

"Hehe, it's an honor." Wang Xiaohu readily agreed, so that every American blockbuster can be more or less infiltrated with oriental elements, and finally let Americans naturally accept Hollywood blockbusters with obvious Hong Kong film style, which has always been a problem for Wang Xiaohu to consider. And Star Wars is a great place to start.

Just imagine, if those lightsaber-playing Skywalkers were open and beautiful, they would definitely attract the attention of many American audiences!

When they came out of the theater, Lucas suggested: "Tiger, why don't you make a film with Chinese cultural heritage and enter Hollywood?" ”

"It's not that I haven't thought about this question, and the purpose of bringing you here today is actually for this." Wang Xiaohu smiled and said: "At present, I am brewing two scripts in my head, one is the type that you think is very illogical, and the other is a script that even Hong Kong people will be surprised by, both scripts need special skills to complete." ”

"What are you doing with something that doesn't have logic?" Spielberg was puzzled.

"Is Star Wars logical?" Wang Xiaohu asked instead of answering.

"Nope. I was even worried that no one would go to the theater to watch it. Lucas snapped.

"That's it. If a film completely subverts the inherent perception of human beings in terms of stunts, they will be forced to accept it, George, don't worry, "Star Wars" will be watched by many people! ”

(Burn your brain cells, guess which two movies have stunts, kung fu, and strong Chinese cultural heritage.) Well, you can express your opinions in the book review section, and I will give you all the highlights. Think of it as a small event. ）
