In the north in March, the beginning of the warm and cold, you can see a lot of tourists who come to sightsee on the mountain road leading to Shaolin Temple, in addition to the common yellow skin and black hair, these tourists can vaguely see white skin, black skin, foreigners also come to the martial arts holy land sightseeing tour through the "Shaolin Temple". [Full text reading]

"Doesn't look good?" When he was about to arrive at the mountain gate, Wang Xiaohu said with a smile: "At least the tourism industry has been driven, and the Shaolin culture has recovered again." ”

The future Shaolin CEO hurriedly accompanied the smiling face and said: "Everything was planned by Mr. Wang." ”

Wang Xiaohu shook his head with a smile and said: "Ashin, don't talk about this kind of thing in the future, you should thank the party and the political axe." ”

"Mr. Wang is educated."

After entering the mountain gate, Shaolin Temple is far more lively than when Wang Xiaohu came to shoot and film, and I don't know where to hire a group of monks.

If it weren't for Wang Xiaohu knowing that this was the Huangshan Temple before, he really thought that the Shaolin Temple had kept this quiet and peaceful since ancient times, obviously, someone deliberately cloned the scenes in the movie in reality, this method can't be said to be bad, at least let people who don't know what kind of Shaolin will have a little intimacy at first sight, at least everything is similar to the movie.

"This time, the Shaolin Boxing Alliance donated 30,000 yuan for the construction of the temple." Shi Yongxin reported to Wang Xiaohu while walking.

"Thirty thousand? It's too little, the little devils are too picky, and he doesn't want to think that we have recruited 400,000 students for him at once, and the movie dividends are so much, what is this money enough for? Wang Xiaohu stopped and said to Shi Yongxin: "Ashin, if Zong Yougui plays this little trick again in the future, you will directly refuse it, 30,000 yuan?" Hmph, what about sending beggars? ”

Shi Yongxin secretly said when he heard this, and said in his heart that this master is really a lion's mouth, in his opinion, 30,000 yuan is already a lot, it is definitely a huge amount of money, and it adds up to a lot, isn't it?

In the guest room, Wang Xiaohu saw Zong Yougui and his party who came to Shaolin to learn scriptures, it may be that Zong Yougui didn't expect Wang Xiaohu to be here, he was stunned for a long time before he came back to his senses, and he bent over and bowed at 90 degrees, "Mr. Wang, it's great to see you here!" ”

Wang Xiaohu nodded, Shi Shiran sat cross-legged on the futon and said: "Zong Yougui, what is the situation on the side of this theater, why hasn't the final payment of the premiere dividend of "Shaolin Temple" been received?" ”

Different from the atmosphere when he talked to Wang Xiaohu a few times before, Zong Yougui felt particularly pressured at this time, this feeling started from the moment Wang Xiaohu passed through the group of 100 people, in Zong Yougui's opinion, Wang Xiaohu invisibly gave her a strong sense of pressure and urgency like a mountain.

"Mr. Wang, that's right, there is a little misunderstanding in the middle, but we have been working hard to negotiate, and I believe that in less than a week, the remaining balance will be on your account."

What is the specific misunderstanding, Wang Xiaohu does not have any interest, he does not have the slightest interest in what method Zong Yougui takes, in his eyes, the Shaolin Boxing Alliance is just a branch of the Shaolin Temple, he wants to constantly put pressure on Zong Yougui, so that she firmly remembers that Shaolin Kung Fu comes from China.

Maybe at the beginning, Zong Yougui didn't feel dependent on China, after all, their country's karate culture is also very developed, and the addition of Shaolin Kung Fu to karate and judo as a promotion has been brilliant for decades, but last year Wang Xiaohu completely shattered Zong Yougui's dream with an iron fist, which is no less than throwing an atomic bomb on the Karate and Kung Fu world, and sounding the clarion call for the spread of Chinese Kung Fu around the world.

And after the 100 people joined forces, the support rate of the Shaolin Boxing Alliance in the kung fu community also decreased on a large scale, after all, they all thought that Zong Yougui had climbed Wang Xiaohu's thigh, and Chinese kung fu was so good, and he was looking for us to be a coach.

This is also the main purpose of Zong Yougui's trip to Shaolin: to hire Shaolin warrior monks as coaches and revive the prestige of the Shaolin Boxing Alliance.

"Go back and give a word to the cinema line, if they" Wang Xiaohu suddenly stopped when he said this, frowned and said: "Forget it, you should honestly develop the Shaolin Alliance, it's too troublesome to deal with the cinema line, I'll find someone else to take charge." ”

The implication is that Wang Xiaohu feels that it is too troublesome to contact the cinema through Zong Yougui, so he wants to bypass her relationship and contact the cinema directly, and it is more appropriate for Zong Yougui to honestly engage in Shaolin culture in the future.

Zong Yougui didn't understand what she meant, after all, she was a woman, and the 1.2 million boxing alliance made her exhausted, if she added the contact with the theater, she was really worried that Wang Xiaohu would be unhappy because of her ineffective work, so she stopped talking after "Haiyi".

Wang Xiaohu wandered around the Shaolin Temple for a long time, and found that the number of warrior monks in the Shaolin Temple has expanded to as many as 100 people, in this weather, these 100 people wear thin monk clothes to practice Shaolin Kung Fu, from the simplest Shaolin Changquan, to the complex 72 stunts, it is very hot.

Wang Xiaohu glanced twice, and shook his head a little bitterly, there is no other shortcut to kung fu in this year except hard practice, for anyone to punch a thousand times a day, after three months, it is easy to split two bricks, and for anyone to insert iron sand every day with Shaolin's secret medicine maintenance, seventy-two days later, it is easy to practice iron sand palm, this thing relies on a perseverance.

Isn't it just a few so-called "trick secrets" casually to look at it and protect the body, didn't he Wang Xiaohu achieve his current attainments with nine years of unremitting efforts?

Therefore, after the "100-person Kumite", Wang Xiaohu became more and more convinced of the three views from Jeet Kune Do: "streamlined, direct, and unconventional".

At noon, he enjoyed a good meal with the Shaolin abbot, and after asking for a place for Winterdur, Wang Xiaohu returned to the crew in the afternoon and led a large team of people to Inner Mongolia

In the Hulunber steppe of Inner Mongolia, at the foot of several large mountains near the territory of the Xinbarhu Left Banner, hundreds of yurts have been set up, and five or six military vehicles deliver beef and mutton, fresh vegetables, fruits and other materials to this place every day.

Three kilometers away from the yurt group, the crew of "Mulan" is filming the last war scene here.

This war drama is about the Rouran prince who killed Lao Shan Yu to usurp the throne and poured the Rouran army to annex the Central Plains. But it was blocked by Mulan, Li Tai and other Northern Wei armies, and after Rouran's military advisors, the Northern Wei Dynasty general was bought by Rouran's heavy money, and Mulan's reputation in the army in recent years is like Zhongtian, the old general will inevitably be jealous, so he and Rouran plan to put Mulan to death.

Mulan didn't know what to do, she still fought according to the plan set with the old general, and when she successfully led the Rouran army to the Grand Canyon, Mendu said on the spot about buying the old general.

"Mulan, you hurt me and rode tens of thousands of tigers, and today I will also let you taste the taste of being betrayed!" Yu Rongguang rode on horseback, leaned sideways and said with an almost scoundrel gaze: "It's impossible for your reinforcements to come, obediently dismount and surrender, in my eyes, you Dawei people are sheep, and we Rouran people are wolves!" Hahaha! ”

The Rouran army let out a shocking laugh, and the arrogant arrogance made the war horse that Lin Qingxia sat down begin to panic, she raised her hand to comfort the war horse, and raised her head to reflect the indomitable sight in her eyes: "Our Great Wei State has Han people, and there are Di people"

Wang Xiaohu sat behind the monitor, and after listening to Lin Qingxia read this dialogue, he breathed a long sigh of relief, in a few articles just now, Lin Qingxia pronounced the word "氐" as "clan", which provoked Wang Xiaohu to be very dissatisfied, and called Lin Qingxia over fiercely and emphasized repeatedly: "This word is pronounced, not pronounced, don't look at it a little less, if you pronounce it, the whole film will not be a little less!" ”

Wang Xiaohu remembered that after the release of the 09 version of "Mulan" in his previous life, Zhao Wei read "Di" as "Shi" because he said one less point, which caused a large number of fans to scold him, of course, Zhao Wei was wronged, because the script was written like this, which fully illustrates the congenital disease of some Hong Kong directors who lack a sense of history, it seems that after staying in Hong Kong for a long time, in addition to "urban civilization", they lack a necessary sensitivity and cognition of China in the past, and even know nothing, like "Di" and "Shi" Such an obvious mistake cannot be detected, which is tantamount to a human tragedy.

As a cultural and caste commodity, film can of course also reflect the filmmaker's cognitive shortcomings to a certain extent. Whenever Hong Kong directors film China, especially China's past, which involves the "culture of the Central Plains", they invariably show a rather wishful thinking view of history.

In the past life, some directors who have made great achievements in Hong Kong have thrown themselves into the camp of costume blockbusters, but the result is: some people have made historical legends into modern ethical dramas, some have turned costume fables into didactic dojos, and others have turned large-scale epics into love between two men......

Sometimes Wang Xiaohu even doubts whether Hong Kong people have a "view of history" at all, perhaps because of the unique geographical location of Hong Kong and Taiwan.

As everyone knows, Lin Qingxia under the camera also took a long breath, this is the first time that Wang Xiaohu has been fierce to her since the start of "Mulan", and almost shed Lin Meirenxun's tears, how do she know the importance of less and more.

Listening to Wang Xiaohu shouting: "It's over, prepare for the next one, shoot the war scene." ”

Lin Qingxia hurriedly dismounted, and Weng Meiling trotted to deliver a bowl of ginger soup and a military coat. "Sister Qingxia, hurry up and warm up while it's hot."

"Thank you." Lin Qingxia was wearing a military coat and drinking hot ginger soup, and then asked tentatively: "Ah Hu didn't lose his temper just now, right?" ”

"Nope. After he shouted to prepare for the next one, he hid in the van to warm up, haha, he is not as good as us, we can still find time to warm up in the car, he has to keep an eye on everything outside. Weng Meiling gloated as she pulled Lin Qingxia towards another van.

"Huh." Lin Qingxia smiled bitterly and got into the van, and found that Chow Yun-fat was also squatting inside, surrounded by a thick quilt, holding ginger soup in his hand and shivering, "Oops, I'm freezing to death." ”

"Hey, it's better to be an actor." Lin Qingxia suddenly felt a feeling, because she saw Wang Xiaohu appearing on the set again in a military coat through the car window, holding the director's microphone and talking to several executive directors about the next scenes.

Seeing this, Lin Qingxia felt distressed for no reason, after the crew entered Inner Mongolia, they generally chose to shoot at noon, because the temperature was around 10 degrees for a few hours before and after noon, and after the best time, the temperature would begin to retract, and now the temperature outside is 4 degrees, and it will fall directly below 0 degrees after the sun goes down.

If it weren't for the fact that she said the wrong "氐" today and caused ng three times, she might have finished filming today, thinking that her mistake affected the filming progress, Lin Qingxia felt very uncomfortable. "Ah Weng, do you have more than one hand warmer bag?"

"No, Zhang Yuan hasn't purchased it yet." Weng Meiling blinked and didn't finish speaking, when she saw Lin Qingxia suddenly pull the car door and run towards Wang Xiaohu. "Hey, Sister Qingxia, what are you doing?"

Lin Qingxia never heard it, trotted to Wang Xiaohu's side, stuffed the hand warmer bag in her arms to Wang Xiaohu, and ran into the van without waiting for Wang Xiaohu to say anything.

“”

The hand warmer bag is emitting enough heat, but Wang Xiaohu is confused, what's going on? Soon, Wang Xiaohu held the hand-warmer bag in his arms and continued to talk to several executive directors about the scenes to be filmed.

"The war scenes to be filmed this time are very different from those in the previous "Mythology", the civilization of the Northern Wei Dynasty is much more developed than the Qin Dynasty, especially in military aspects"

Wang Xiaohu took the director's shooting plan and said: "We must not only highlight the savagery and strong sense of urgency of the Rouran army, but also shoot the determination of the Mulan army to fight against the water, so you executive directors and others will listen closely to my arrangement, whether it is the war horse or the actors, they can pass one by one, don't make any trouble." ”

Several executive directors have been cultivated by Wang Xiaohu over the years, such as Li Hanwei, who was a photographer in his early years, and is now also a member of the executive director, not to mention Yuan Heping, who served as an assistant director and action director in "Mulan", and he is the most experienced talent in Concord Company for war scenes like this.

After arranging these things, Wang Xiaohu called Stephen Chow over: "Xingzai, you are going to carry the girder later, remember to mobilize the emotions of several extras behind you, and grasp the scene where you can't lose the face of the Great Wei Army as a prisoner, remember, you are not allowed to laugh!" ”

Stephen Chow hurriedly nodded, since the last time he soaked in the river for six hours, Xingzi has understood his important role in the play, and he also has a new understanding of the role of Fei Xiaolong in the film, knowing that he is not only a simple identity of Mulan's childhood companion, but he is also responsible for promoting the development of the plot at critical times, such as the sensational scene at the end of the film is to highlight Mulan's struggle, pain, and unbearable
