Sammo Hung didn't even want to open his mouth and said: "If I were Zou Wenhuai, I would definitely save Dongzang to a secret place first, and then in order to show my innocence, I would open the door and welcome the police to search." [No pop-up novel network]"

Sammo Hung scratched his head after finishing speaking, and then looked at Wang Xiaohu's smiling expression, and suddenly came to his senses, he opened his mouth wide and said, "Oh, I understand, Ah Hu, you are afraid that Zou Wenhuai will die and not admit it, so take the opportunity to bite back, right?" ”

Wang Xiaohu shook his head and said with a smile: "You are half right, according to my understanding, Zou Wenhuai was kind to that thief back then, even if he was instructed by Zou Wenhuai to steal the film, after being caught by the police, he would not recruit Zou Wenhuai, and Zou Wenhuai would not admit it when the time came, what can you do?" ”

"Then you can't watch them get away with it, can you?" Sammo Hung clenched his fists depressedly and said, "Damn, this Jiahe is too yin, we don't have any way?" ”

"Yes, yes. However, "

"But what!" Everyone asked in unison. The heart said that it has come to this point, Ah Hu, don't you see that everyone is anxious, what are you selling?

"But you'd better do your job first!" Wang Xiaohu suddenly laughed, and said with a twist: "I must see the sample film the day after tomorrow, if you don't do it well, you don't want to get a box office dividend from me!" ”

"That's it? Something has to be done, right? Like hiring a lawyer to sue them! Sammo Hung still didn't give up.

"We, you are idle! Whatever they love, how to toss and how to toss! ”

"Hey!" Sammo Hung still thinks of him as "but" what, I can't imagine that in the end he still asks to do the later improvement, anyway, Wang Xiaohu now looks like he is stable and unhurried, everyone shook their heads and left after thinking about it.

"Hey, it's getting more and more interesting, Zou Wenhuai, Zou Wenhuai, don't let me down!" The corners of Wang Xiaohu's mouth curled up and he smiled evilly, then put his hand in his trouser pocket and whistled away. At the same time, on a plane to Los Angeles, Zou Wenhuai's face was also filled with a smug smile, but his smile was more insidious and ugly.

Two days later, Wang Xiaohu watched the fine-cut sample of "Serpentine Trickster" in the company's small screening room, Yuan Heping and Jackie Chan sat nervously next to him, one looked at the screen, and the other stared at his expression, after all, this is the first time they directed and starred in the film alone, although it was filmed in accordance with Wang Xiaohu's script requirements, as for the quality of the film, they didn't know the result until the master watched it.

Wang Xiaohu didn't make a sound during the whole process, and it wasn't until the end of the film that he frowned and made a contemplative expression, Yuan Heping saw this and felt a sudden burst in his heart, tilting his body sideways, hoping to put a face in front of Wang Xiaohu, hoping to get an answer from Wang Xiaohu's expression.

After a long time, Wang Xiaohu finally sighed: "Hey! You let me say how good are you? ”

"Ah Hu, isn't it terrible?" Yuan Heping asked in a low voice with a bitter face.

"Ah Hu, say quickly, how is this film?" Jackie Chan also hurriedly asked.

Wang Xiaohu nodded and said: "Overall, you did it in strict accordance with my requirements, and the martial arts movements are also good, but Ah Long, your acting skills are still a little jerky, far less familiar than Uncle Yuan, but it is reasonable, after all, this is your first time as a starring actor." ”

Yuan Heping and Jackie Chan both breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this, as long as Wang Xiaohu said that there was no problem, then there would be basically no problem! As for him pointing out that Jackie Chan's acting skills are jerky, this is not a problem at all, after all, Jackie Chan has not been trained as an actor, and kung fu movies mainly depend on his skills, and his acting skills are still in the second line.

"Ah Hu, how much do you think this film will have at the box office?" Jackie Chan suddenly asked with a happy eyebrow.

Wang Xiaohu groaned slightly, and immediately said: "It shouldn't be less!" ”

"How much is that?"

"Hehe, you're a newcomer, let everyone accept you first, and when you become famous, you will naturally have box office appeal." Wang Xiaohu patted Jackie Chan on the shoulder and said, "But 5 million is still guaranteed!" ”

The reason why Wang Xiaohu said so vaguely is because he can't remember the box office data of "Serpentine Trickster", in short, this is Jackie Chan's famous work, it was a mess at that time, and it is said that the box office will not be bad, Wang Xiaohu is still very confident in this regard.

"Brother Ping, wait a minute, you will cut a few funny actions of Ah Long and Shi Tian wiping the floor in the Hongquan Martial Arts Gym, I feel that those scenes are not very smooth, and the montage technique of cat fist and snake paw conversion on Ah Long is too bad, re-edit, if the film is not enough, reshoot it directly." Wang Xiaohu immediately criticized fiercely after praising him, you must know that these scenes are all classic scenes of "Serpentine Trickster", and if the classics are not handled well, it will inevitably increase regrets.

If there is any difference between this version of "Serpentine Trickster" and the original version in memory, that is, in terms of martial arts action, although this film seems to be so rustic in Wang Xiaohu's opinion that it is about to fall off the scum, but its appearance at that time is undoubtedly absolutely a pioneering surname and an explosive surname, on the whole, the innovative work is only to add some comedy to the action scenes, and the overall structure is still a typical sectarian vendetta genre in the 70s: being bullied, meeting nobles, practicing martial arts, and finally getting ahead! This seems to be a pattern! But even the same model can present different wonders! Yuan Xiaotian's snake fist is very handsome, and Jackie Chan is a little more fierce and vigorous!

Wang Xiaohu can see that Yuan Heping and Jackie Chan are really filming with their hearts, basically using the action design methods they have taught, coupled with Jackie Chan's flexible skills and juggling funny movements, the comprehensive strength is a notch stronger than the original, and this is their first time working together, and it is rare to be able to shoot at such a level. And this film can be regarded as a watershed in Jackie Chan's acting career, small people, small roles, no distinct surname, no significant identity and status, but Jackie Chan acted vividly, and in order to change the bloody and violent characteristics of action movies, the director added some interpolated scenes in the film to make the audience look more relaxed. It was a milestone for Jackie Chan.

Of course, Wang Xiaohu will not say these words in his heart, he can only be strict and let them strive for perfection in order to broaden more development paths.

Wang Xiaohu firmly believes that people's potential is squeezed more and more, and at this time, it is impossible to use a high standard to strictly demand Yuan Heping and Jackie Chan!

Compared with "Serpentine Trickster", the post-production of "The Loser" is relatively slow, so far, Sammo Hung and Yuan Biao are still busy there, seeing Wang Xiaohu coming to check the work, Sammo Hung is a little weak-hearted.

Wang Xiaohu admired Sammo Hung's egalitarianism in his previous life, in many films directed by Sammo Hung , Jackie Chan as the protagonist mostly played the police, and the other leading actors In addition to Sammo Hung and Yuan Biao, there are also Zeng Zhiwei, Wu Yaohan, Qin Xianglin and other drama stars, making Sammo Hung's action style has an obvious egalitarian tendency. As he said in an interview: "I am not a hero personally, I like to play, I like to ponder the play in each character, and I like to design different actions for each character." For example, Zeng Zhiwei's "cartoonish" boxing in "Lucky Stars", and Wu Yaohan's "classical" tiger and crane double shape.

In Sammo Hung star-studded movies, the purpose of portraying characters with action has never changed, and different people have different actions, which is the "play" of "play". He is good at discovering the details of each character and making the characterized actions unique.

From this point, Wang Xiaohu has always admired Sammo Hung , so when filming "Ip Man", he told Sammo Hung a lot about the essence of Wing Chun, so when Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao filmed "The Loser", they were more familiar with the martial arts action design.

Wang Xiaohu roughly checked the progress of the post-production of the two, focusing on the passage in the film where Lin Zhengying taught Yuan Biao "Bridge Hand", and nodded after reading it: "The shooting is good, you pay attention to every detail when editing, and strive to let more audiences see the secrets of traditional martial arts." ”

"Ah Hu, will others make irresponsible comments if you do that?" Yuan Biao said with some uneasiness.

"What can they say?" Wang Xiaohu was stunned.

Yuan Biao scratched his head and said, "I always feel that we are not shooting a movie, as if we are teaching others to fight." ”

"Haha, wouldn't that be better, when they finish watching it, they will go to the streets to practice, if they win, they will praise Wing Chun, if they lose, they will go back to the theater to continue learning, this is a great time for Wing Chun propaganda!" Wang Xiaohu said with a smile: "It's just time to give full play to the residual heat of "Ip Man". ”

"By the way, remember to let Chen Xunqi do the background music of this film." Wang Xiaohu threw down this sentence before leaving.

Considering that Jackie Chan is still a newcomer, he did not adopt a trailer publicity plan, after all, the current Jackie Chan does not have much box office appeal, and even if it is promoted, it will not have much effect, so it is only promoted through posters, and after two publicity, the film decided to be released on April 7, that is, the day Wang Xiaohu was born in his previous life.

Hong Kong is preparing for the release of "Serpentine Trickster", far away in Los Angeles on the other side of the ocean, in the office of the president of Warner Bros., Zou Wenhuai and Ted Eisley also reached a consensus on something, when Zou Wenhuai left Los Angeles, Ted Eisley personally sent him to the airport, he cordially held Zou Wenhuai's hand and said: "Raymond, don't worry, we Warner will fully cooperate with your actions in Hong Kong, I believe this will be the beginning of a good cooperation between us!" ”

Zou Wenhuai also shook Ted Eisley's hand and said: "I think our cooperation will definitely be successful, and I will take action as soon as I return to Hong Kong." ”
