218 A word about backbone

"Although martial arts is a kind of armed force, our Chinese martial arts contain Confucian philosophy, martial virtue, that is, benevolence, and pushing people, which is a truth that you will never understand! Because you abuse violence, turn force into violence, and oppress others, you are not worthy of learning our Chinese martial arts. [Reading Network]"

When the movie showed that Ip Man was escorted to the ring by several little devil soldiers, Ip Man, who had a righteous and awe-inspiring face, expressed such a heart, and at the same time made the audience feel a kind of excitement that Ip Man wanted to defend the dignity of the countryman to the death. This bit stimulated the national pride and pride of the audience, and they couldn't help but put away their discussion of Li Zhao, slowing down their breath and waiting for the arrival of the final battle.

Wang Xiaohu's major changes to this section of the film are based on his slight dissatisfaction with the original "Ip Man", and he feels that the fire can burn more vigorously and more sensational in the end, so his final scenes all use parallel montage editing techniques, constantly switching several faces, there are close-ups of the nervous and worried faces of the audience waiting in front of the ring, and there are close-ups of Zhou Qingquan carrying Zhang Yongcheng to Hong Kong. Zhang Yongcheng's tearful self-blame in the car caused another burst of tears from the audience, they thought they were strong enough, but when they saw these details, they couldn't help crying.

Because Wang Xiaohu has made a lot of changes to the film, everyone feels that General Miura played by Kurata Yasuaki is very powerful, although they know that Ip Man will win in the end, they are more looking forward to the process in the middle will be more exciting, and almost everyone is secretly comparing this duel with the ultimate duel in "Jingwumen".

When the fast-paced back music was played in the theater, the duel between Ip Man and Miura had already fought, and this duel was completely different from the scene in the previous martial arts arena, the last time it was for rice and anger, and this time it was for the sake of national qi and dignity: we Chinese, we will never lose to you myself, even if you are hungry for three days and three nights, and your limbs are incomplete and go to the battlefield, you are not my opponent! Ip Man suddenly opened up on the premise of knowing that the winner would die, and used his Wing Chun to fight Miura's Gangrou Karate.

"Oops! Ip Man was knocked down by the little devil! ”

"Stand up, stand up!"

"Hurry up and punch with your words!"

The audience is even more anxious than Ip Man, their butts have left the seat unconsciously, they clench their fists, frown, and words like this pop out of their mouths from time to time, just like the anxious Foshan citizens in the film.

The wonderful and tragic fight successfully infected all the audiences present, including the senior executives of the Shaw Brothers Group, such a high-quality film is something they have never seen before, every move is so real and rigorous, Miura's authentic karate, Ip Man's Wing Chun boxing are all vividly played, and the visual impact of the fist to the flesh gives people a very compact and suffocating pleasure!

When Ip Man tried his best to force Miura to the wooden stake, and beat Miura mercilessly as if he was practicing a wooden stake at home, the audience began to shout loudly: "Ip Man has won, Ip Man has won!" They celebrated as excitedly as the Foshan citizens in the film, because Ip Man "represented" them to defeat Xiao Yuben, once again proving with his fists the fact that Chinese are not the sick men of East Asia.

But their excitement did not last for a minute, the screen began to intersperse a large number of atrocities after the invasion of Foshan, after seeing these pictures, the audience immediately calmed down, they found that there was no background music in the film at this time, and even the cheering voices of those Foshan people were silent, and it was filled with a very depressing and depressing atmosphere for a while!

Just when everyone was about to run out of breath, a cry of "Master, be careful!" "And then the shots rang out!

The "bang" of a gunshot woke up the Foshan citizens in the film, and at the same time knocked heavily on the hearts of the audience in the theater!

"What's wrong, what's wrong!" They looked at the big screen in confusion, and saw that the shoulder on the left side of Ip Man, who was standing in the ring, burst out of blood in slow motion, it was a shooting, the hateful adjutant Sato actually shot Ip Man, but fortunately, Li Zhao, the "lackey" who had always been disputed by them, pushed the little devil Sato at a critical moment, otherwise the big hero in their minds, Ip Man, would have been buried under the black gun!

When Ip Man was secretly calculated, the suffocating atmosphere broke out, the momentum was huge, the people in the movie were shouting, and the sound of the entire theater shouting was also one after another, until then they realized what Ip Man said: "I am just a Chinese!" When they saw Li Zhao risking his life to push away the shot for Ip Man, and then used all his strength to kill Sato, they realized how admirable this little person's hoarse cry "I am Chinese" was!

When the subtitles were raised, the audience burst into applause!

When the applause thundered, the audience's eyes moistened!

When the tears fell, the audience's bodies froze!

When the body stands, the hearts of the audience are sublimated!

Not only the New Century Cinema, but all the theaters that are showing "Ip Man" are playing this scene at the same time, in the early morning of July 13th, they feel bursts of surging and moving, which were given to them by Wang Xiaohu!

"Congratulations!" Run Run Shaw applauded and walked up to Wang Xiaohu and the others and said with a smile.

"Thank you Boss Shao for cheering!" Wang Xiaohu also responded politely.

"Hey, today I have thoroughly understood the true strength of the five million box office screenwriters, the script is well written, the actors are good actors, and the play is better!" Shaw did not hesitate to praise himself, partly speaking from his own heart, partly to his own people. In this way, he also felt that there were too few words of praise to express the shock and excitement in his heart.

"Boss Shao is simply complimentary! There is something inconsiderate about the hospitality tonight, so I hope you don't be surprised. "Wang Xiaohu lacks interest in this kind of unnutritious conversation, even if you Run Run Shaw, even if you helped me at this time, but you also took the benefits you asked for from me, the reason why you said this must be something in your words.

Wang Xiaohu's guess was right, Run Run Shaw did have a lot to talk to Wang Xiaohu alone, but at this time, fans had already flocked to him, and when he saw Wang Xiaohu and others who were busy dealing with fans, he couldn't help sighing, and said to Wang Xiaohu through the crowd: "When you are busy, remember to come to Shaw Brothers to find me." Then he didn't care whether Wang Xiaohu answered or not, and led the high-level executives of the Shaw Brothers to leave

Press conference.

"May I ask Director Wang, while the film "Ip Man" focuses on portraying the protagonist Ip Man, we have noticed that you also pay great attention to the scenes of several supporting roles, don't you feel overwhelmed by this?" The reporter of "Xinxing Yuebao" spoke first and asked.

Wang Xiaohu smiled and said: "Because I have given too many special surnames, the Ip Man I play does not represent the spirit of the Chinese. In troubled times, the character of an individual or even a nation can be easily magnified. The people in the era of the invasion of China can better reflect the Chinese culture and spirit, among them, Jin Shanxuan, Zhou Qingquan and Li Zhao are the most representative surnames. The first two, one is endowed with a lot of images of reckless men and Han anniversaries, and the other is the image of businessmen who help the people by opening factories; In fact, one has already been said to be rotten, and the other has the ability to continue to operate in the occupied area, and the drilling camp and efforts behind it cannot be ignored. Both of them give me food for thought, but they're not the point. Li Zhao is. ”

"The actor who plays Li Zhao seems to be a newcomer, may I ask Director Wang how did you let him get such superb acting skills?"

"Actually, the reason is very simple, I like to use the characters around me as a reference when I create the script, let's say Li Zhao, I just used the waiter Chow Yun-fat in my restaurant as the prototype to find inspiration, so that he can play himself in the film and let him perform in his true colors, so that everyone will feel very real, isn't it?" Wang Xiaohu is a big lie, anyway, now that the film has been successful, Li Zhao's acting skills have also been recognized by everyone, he can say whatever he wants, and the crew is not stupid, and they will not expose their lies at such a time.

"The ending of the film doesn't seem to be the real ending, does Director Wang intend to shoot a sequel to "Ip Man"?" A reporter from "Ming Pao" asked: "After all, we all know that Mr. Ip Man came to Hong Kong later, and this ending is also the ending of the development surname."

"Yes, we will shoot a sequel depending on the situation, but it will not be soon, but it will take a break before filming." Wang Xiaohu said with a smile

"Mr. Chow Yun-fat, do you have any special thoughts when you play Li Zhao?" After the reporters interviewed Wang Xiaohu, they turned to the second key person.

"Actually, I was quite worried at first, because the character of Li Zhao was quite annoying at first, but then Director Wang explained me like this: How many people will really pat their chests and say that backbone is more important than surname? There are many people in the world, and there will always be only a few true heroes. Of course, Li Zhao is not only spineless, he is spineless than most people; If he can be completely spineless and dignified, it doesn't matter, he lives more freely, giving milk is a mother, why not. However, he was not thorough in his good, nor was he thorough in his badness, so he suffered a lot without anyone's sympathy and understanding. It's a lackey's grief. ”

Chow Yun-fat continued with some excitement: "In Li Zhao's eyes, survival is the most important thing. He nodded and grinned with his tail between his legs, just to survive. Therefore, Ip Man is worthy of respect, but Li Zhao is only worthy of pity. But such a pitiful guy did not hesitate to snatch Sato's snatch, and a bullet killed him. Li Zhao may think that the surname is the most important, but this does not prevent him from respecting the backbone of Ip Man. Li Zhao is just an ordinary person, and he also feels that his backbone is very remarkable."
