229 Some things cannot wait
Deng Sheng suddenly became interested in this matter, and he pulled Wang Xiaohu to sit down and said, "You said that Liu Dachuan wanted to challenge Xiaolong, but was refused?" ”
"Yes. Wang Xiaohu smiled and told Deng Sheng what he saw and heard that day, and Deng Sheng laughed after hearing it: "It's rare, Xiaolong used to fight when he had a fight, but now he has learned to be humble." ”
Deng Sheng's reaction was completely unexpected by Wang Xiaohu, the previous Bruce Lee, especially during the United States, was brave and good at fighting, not only accepting the challenge of the Chinese sect, but always taking the initiative to come to the door to ask for advice and study after hearing that a certain fighting technique was very powerful, this kind of hobby of finding a fight is partly related to Bruce Lee's surname, and the other part is imperceptibly influenced by his senior brother Huang Chunliang, who let Huang Chunliang kick everywhere before the age of 28 and sweep the entire Hong Kong martial arts world. Such a glorious history once caused Bruce Lee to imitate and pursue.
"Uncle Deng, people always have to grow, and Brother Xiaolong has been busy filming for more than a year since he returned to Hong Kong, how can he have the leisure to pay attention to these things?" Wang Xiaohu said with a smile.
That's right, Wang Xiaohu knows that Bruce Lee is an idle person, so since he met last year, he has been constantly suggesting him to film, and in just half a year, he has completed the two classic films "Jingwumen" and "Raptors Across the River", and now he is still in full swing to produce "The Journey of the Warrior", and he can't be busy with filming, how can he have time to pay attention to the trivial matters of the challenge!
Moreover, since Bruce Lee created Jeet Kune Do, his mood and attainments have reached the realm of not competing casually, rather than boring fighting with the jumping clown, it is better to take the opportunity to study how to make a blockbuster movie.
"Well, that's right. Originally, I was worried that you and Xiaolong would not be able to hold their breath, you must know that most of the Hong Kong media have not given up watching Xiaolong's liveliness, if Liu Dachuan openly challenged Xiaolong with the help of the newspaper's ability, I am afraid he will" Deng Sheng sighed and said helplessly.
Wang Xiaohu nodded and said: "I have written down this matter, if Liu Dachuan wants to challenge Brother Xiaolong, I will fight on his behalf!" ”
Wang Xiaohu's words surprised Deng Sheng, and he almost jumped up from the sofa and said urgently: "Huh? Liu Dachuan is a four-time boxing champion in Hong Kong! If you win, it's okay to say, if you lose, won't it be even the face of Wing Chun Men"
Wang Xiaohu interrupted with some displeasure when he heard this: "Uncle Deng, no matter how powerful he Liu Dachuan is, can he beat the fifth dan of the black belt in karate?" ”
Only then did Deng Sheng realize that he was worried, so he hurriedly laughed a few times to cover up his slip of the tongue, patted Wang Xiaohu on the shoulder and said: "Okay, good, it's the fault of the uncle, you kid even hit the fifth section of the black belt in karate all over the ground to find teeth, what is a mere Liu Dachuan!"
The reason for Deng Shengsheng's mistake is very easy to explain, because Wang Xiaohu has not shown his true strength in front of most of the Wing Chun disciples, and he only learned about the trip between the dragon and tiger and the karate exchange from Wang Xiaohu's mouth, and no one knows the final result of the competition. Most people also heard from Master Ip Man and Senior Brother Huang Chunliang that Wang Xiaohu's strength is extraordinary, and it is unknown how extraordinary it is.
Now Wang Xiaohu's super self-confidence has made Deng Sheng finally realize that he is in vain, and Deng Sheng expresses his sincere appreciation for his self-confidence. "Xiaohu, it's naturally good that you have the certainty of victory, but I have to remind you: the British political axe does not allow us martial arts people to duel in private, don't let the master and uncle be embarrassed."
"This is natural, Uncle Deng can rest assured, if I really want to compete with Liu Dachuan, I will follow Uncle Deng's arrangement." Wang Xiaohu also knows that there is this rule in Hong Kong now, and he also knows that Deng Sheng has another identity: the chairman of the Hong Kong Chinese Guoshu Association and the vice president of the Hong Kong Wing Chun Association.
Wang Xiaohu gave Deng Sheng enough face, which made him very happy, and left after telling Wang Xiaohu some information about Liu Dachuan.
"Liu Dachuan, Liu Dachuan, yes, finally remembered him!" After Deng Sheng left for a while, Wang Xiaohu patted his forehead and remembered who this Liu Dachuan is, isn't this so-called flyweight boxing champion the guy who has always wanted to challenge Bruce Lee in his memory?
It's just that in his previous life, Liu Dachuan was instigated by colleagues in the Hong Kong martial arts industry (in fact, he slapped Liu a few big sycophants, and Liu won four consecutive championships, and he agreed to challenge when he was hot. The challenge to Bruce Lee through the media and newspapers, coupled with the fact that other sects saw that Bruce Lee was not pleasing to the eye, helped fan the flames, causing Liu Dachuan to not come to the stage and fight Bruce Lee. As for whether the two really fought, Wang Xiaohu did not know, and there were rumors that the two did fight, but there were no more than 20 witnesses to this incident in Hong Kong.
There are some things that you will never believe if you don't experience them personally, Wang Xiaohu sighed and shook his head, continued to walk into the study and sat in front of the typewriter and began to prepare a few suitable scripts in his memory. "The current Hong Kong martial arts movies are in the second generation, that is, the era of real kung fu movies led by Bruce Lee, and there will be three major differences in kung fu films in the next ten years: comedy kung fu films, strange kung fu films, hard bridge and hard horse kung fu films, and it was not until the 90s that Tsui Hark and others set off a new era of the third generation of martial arts"
As July 20, 73 is getting closer and closer, Wang Xiaohu knows that his time will be extremely tight in the coming year, on the one hand, he must strengthen his strength, and he is always ready to take over the mantle from Bruce Lee and lead Chinese kung fu films into the international market, while dealing with sudden changes that may occur at any time, after all, no one knows how Bruce Lee died that year.
Half an hour had passed since Wang Xiaohu's hand stopped on the button of the typewriter, but he didn't type half a word because he was a little hesitant now. Because his rebirth has influenced the development of Hong Kong films on a certain level, the "real kung fu" style is deeply imprinted in the minds of the audience, whether it is "Jingwumen", "Raptors Crossing the River" or "Righteous Heroes Brave on the Beach" and "Ip Man" uphold real kung fu, even the filming of "The Journey of a Warrior" is strictly abiding by this concept.
It is precisely because of this change that he has been able to gain a firm foothold in the hierarchical Hong Kong film industry, but what will he do in the future? If you just plagiarize all the classic films of the 21st century, it will completely sweep the entire Hong Kong film industry, when all the classics you think are filmed? Will there be a gap in the gap?
Wang Xiaohu feels that he must pay attention to this issue, he can't lead Hong Kong movies into a misunderstanding because of his selfishness, if that's the case, I'm afraid he won't forgive himself. What's more, in his original intention, those idols who used to make people excited and worshipped, such as Andy Lau , Jacky Cheung , Tony Leung and others are still in their childhood and adolescence, and some people have not even jumped out in their mother's womb.
In this embarrassing period of the 70s, there is another thing that makes Wang Xiaohu depressed, that is, there are not many good-looking actresses in this era, in addition to Miao Kexiu and Yiyi, other active actresses such as Zheng Peipei, Feng Baobao, Xiao Fangfang, Wang Mingquan and others have acting skills that make people scratch their heads, and more importantly, they are not the actresses that Wang Xiaohu likes, and they have no impression of the films they have made.
And how to develop according to the historical trajectory, even Zhao Yazhi will not show her prominence until a few years later, and she will need to wait until the 80s when she is red and purple.
"I have a headache! I can't afford to wait! Wang Xiaohu grabbed his hair in distress, he sometimes felt that Hong Kong movies in the 70s were a nightmare, and he even thought about what kind of weird situation Hong Kong movies would have presented if Bruce Lee had not appeared in the Hong Kong film industry.
The answer is yes, without Bruce Lee, Hong Kong films will continue to develop in Hong Kong, and it will take more than ten years or even longer to rush to the international market! (Although Shaw Brothers' "The First Punch Under Heaven" caused a sensation in the United States, its influence was not as strong as that of Bruce Lee.) Such a situation is an advantage, but at the same time a sadness. "Damn, in the era when there are no stars, you need to make your own stars, okay, since they have all picked up Ah Zhi, Fa Zai, Xing Zai, and Ah Biao, we don't care about continuing to dig stars of the right age!" Wang Xiaohu clenched his fists to cheer himself up: "Who needs to be popular next?" ”
Wang Xiaohu held his chin and thought for a long time, pinching his fingers to calculate the time, a female star in Taiwan should also graduate, it should be excavated by the scouts during this time period and then shoot Aunt Qiong Yao's film, no, someone must be sent to dig it up before the scouts. In fact, Wang Xiaohu's original intention is very pure, he is not so dirty as to gather all the beautiful female stars together to play any game of gold house and hidden Jiaojiao, one is that he does not have that hobby, and the other is that he thinks that he is already very happy after having Zhao Ya.
God gave Wang Xiaohu a chance to be reborn, he was about to toss and toss, and after pushing the brand-new typewriter aside, Wang Xiaohu grabbed the phone, thought about it and called Run Run Shaw. "Uncle Six, what have you been busy with lately?"
"Busy with a lot of things, how can you be so idle?" Run Run Shaw's attitude towards Wang Xiaohu is very contradictory now, on the one hand, he treats this offspring boy very much from the bottom of his heart, and greatly appreciates his talent and courage, but also worries that this kid calculates himself everywhere, there is a saying: If you are not afraid of thieves stealing, you are afraid of thieves remembering!
Wang Xiaohu is the thief that Run Run Run Shaw thinks, and Run Run Shaw thinks that if this kid doesn't call him, there will be nothing good if he calls
