On February 4, 1965, Bruce Lee came to Los Angeles to audition for the TV series "Charlie Chan's Eldest Son" in Hollywood, full of hope. The entire audition process lasted eight minutes (there is a video online), and in the last minutes of the audition, Bruce Lee showed a set of seemingly juggling moves, one of which was the golden dragon fist designed by Wang Xiaohu in "Raptors Across the River".

Wang Xiaohu has not watched this audition video, many young men back then after watching "Raptors Across the River", they were all said by Bruce Lee, "The fourth style of Golden Dragon Boxing Xiaolong asks for directions, and the big dragon swings his tail!" "Obsessed, mobilize all your abilities to buy this set of Bruce Lee casually invented "Golden Dragon Fist" cheats, and Wang Xiaohu happened to be one of them, one day the partner who played with him mysteriously took a cheats book and said to him: Look, this is the Golden Dragon Fist founded by Bruce Lee, and when I learn it, I will dominate the whole village.

Thinking that his childhood memories are really similar to the plot in "Kung Fu" starring Stephen Chow, Wang Xiaohu laughed bitterly, shrugged his shoulders and said, "Well, is there a problem with this action?" ”

"Nope." Bruce Lee shook his head vigorously and said, "Man, I want to say that this action you designed is very interesting, I think that old guy from Ducia will vomit blood when he sees this shot!" regrets not letting me play the role of "Charlie Chen's Eldest Son" at the beginning, this is the most effective revenge for him. ”

Bruce Lee excitedly continued: "Xiaohu, you may not know that the distribution company we are working with this time is Ducia's old guy's Twentieth Century Fox, wow, I'm so excited now, I'm looking forward to seeing Ducia's regretful expression." ”

Wang Xiaohu held his chin lightly, looked at him helplessly and said, "Since you are looking forward to it so much, it is better to send the action design script to the other actors as soon as possible, so that they can familiarize themselves with the action rehearsal as soon as possible, you must know that we are going to Yuben in mid-March." ”

"Xiaohu, you're such a bad guy, can't you make me happy for a while?" Bruce Lee threw the orange juice on the table and said, "Forget it, Loris will be in Hong Kong tomorrow, and when the time comes, you have to be there to rehearse together, you know, if you don't show up, I won't turn on the camera." ”

"OK, absolutely no problem." After Wang Xiaohu finished speaking, he asked a little absentmindedly: "How is the contact with the Roman side?" ”

Bruce Lee's face was not very good when he heard this, he said: "You asked another headache question, Wen Huai said that the Roman side needs to consider carefully, for fear that our crew will make a mess of their precious cultural sites, in my opinion, this is that the Romans do not understand China, they are prejudiced against us Chinese." ”

"It's all understandable, it's better for you to follow up." Wang Xiaohu threw the car key to Bruce Lee after throwing down this sentence and said: "Thank you for the red open-top Mercedes-Benz car, I have to go to the big eye now to study the action design of the new film, and strive to buy a car of the same model after getting the dividend." ”

Only Wang Xiaohu and Yuan Heping brothers were present in the abandoned factory, and the three of them had been busy here for an afternoon.

Wang Xiaohu held a pen in his hand and kept recording on the manuscript paper, and a lot of discarded manuscript paper had been piled up around him.

"Ah Hu, you once mentioned that the story of this film is set in Shanghai during the Republic of China, Shanghai itself is a place where dragons and snakes are mixed, as far as I know, the Axe Gang was founded in 1921, and Wang Yaqiao organized an Anhui labor death squad with a sharp axe, also known as the 'Axe Party'." Yuan Heping frowned and said after thinking hard: "But I haven't investigated the local martial arts in Anhui, so it's really difficult for me for you to let me design movements for Yu Laoqi." ”

Wang Xiaohu put down the pen, sighed heavily and said: "Yes, we are not an encyclopedia, of course it is impossible to know so much detail, Brother Ping, your idea of designing actions according to the background of the characters is good, but you have fallen into a blind spot in your thinking." ”

"Oh?" Yuan Heping raised his head and asked with a serious expression: "Then how should it be designed?" ”

Wang Xiaohu snorted, stretched his waist and said: "You have been thinking that the Axe Gang was established by Anhui Wang Yaqiao, but the villain in our film is Yu Laoqi, not Wang Yaqiao, so there is no need to admit death and use Anhui local martial arts to design actions." ”

"I've thought about it a lot, and the overall guiding idea of our moves is to embody hand-to-hand combat and grappling techniques." Wang Xiaohufu picked up the pen again and said: "The first problem has been solved, and now we move on to the second problem, that is, the practical reason why the characters participate in the fight." When Tang Shan just returned to Shanghai from the United States, his identity as a doctor with a benevolent heart determined that his initial actions were mainly to subdue the other party, rather than cripple and kill, and then experienced the death of the little cricket and Abang, as well as Yu Lao Qi's brutal methods to stimulate Tangshan, so that his later fights were to fight for his life, and he would not give up if he did not kill the other party."

"The third question: It is also the most important character relationship, after all, the impact of the incident on the characters is still limited, and the role of the character relationship is long-term and even attracts the audience, so, after Tangshan eloped with Xiaoqian, the fighting style here will also change, try to say it, it is to reveal a sense of grief, disappointment, and desolation, especially after Xiaoqian is injured, well, one blow will kill, and it is best to attract blood"

This was basically the case throughout the afternoon, with Wang Xiaohu sometimes communicating with the Yuan Heping brothers, sometimes talking to himself, and the manuscript paper was densely written with his action design guidance route, as well as the stickman movements outlined by the burst of inspiration.

It was the first time for Yuan Heping and Yuan Xiangren to communicate martial arts design with Wang Xiaohu so closely, and the ideological shock that Wang Xiaohu brought to them could not be expressed in words, the original action design of a film is still so complicated, and it is not the old-fashioned concept that they have always used to make up with the shooting, how to look good, how to save trouble, and how to design.

Since then, the Yuan brothers have admired Wang Xiaohu's five-body throw, and at the same time, they are also glad to be able to take refuge in his subordinates to learn, and it is foreseeable that Wang Xiaohu's action design techniques displayed this afternoon have deeply affected the two

When Wang Xiaohu returned home, it was already more than 9 o'clock in the evening, and he felt very tired, so after a simple bath, he leaned on the bedside and held the manuscript paper to study, and he also needed to reproduce actions according to the general idea of the manuscript paper.

"Tick bell ring~" The phone rang, Wang Xiaohu picked up the phone and said, "Hey, who is it?" ”
