787 For the sake of MMA, you have to hold back!
In the early 80s, Hong Kong films entered the prototype of a golden age dominated by commercial operations, during which kung fu films, comedy films, and horror films all developed by leaps and bounds. [No pop-up novel network]
As a representative of Hong Kong's local characteristics, kung fu films have finally broken out of Hong Kong after Wang Xiaohu's momentum for more than ten years, triggering a boom around the world, especially "Ip Man 2", which has just finished its first round of releases, and won the first place in the box office list in North America for two consecutive months, which shows that kung fu films are unique in Hollywood for a while.
If life is like a game of chess, then Wang Xiaohu laid out several important chess pieces on the chessboard.
Jackie Chan, Jet Li, Donnie Yen, three generations of kung fu stars have also begun to exert their strength in their respective positions, Yuan Heping, Wu Yusen, Yuan Bin, Yuan De, Xu Xiaoming and other action directors will also contribute silently in the international film industry in the future, not to mention the national art rescue and global national arts promotion plan that is in preparation, as well as the major martial arts schools and martial arts halls that are blooming everywhere in China, these are Wang Xiaohu is cultivating the next generation.
At this point, Wang Xiaohu is no longer the hairy boy who relied on plagiarism and extortion to build his own entertainment dynasty, he now knows how to cultivate successors for the future of Hong Kong films, especially in the field of kung fu films, which is a long-lasting banner of Chinese films.
In his previous life, Chinese filmmakers wanted to do things that they couldn't do, and Wang Xiaohu was doing them.
At the beginning of September, the Chinese and British delegations held the third round of competition and negotiations in Yenching, and the first Hong Kong Fighting Championship is in the tense stage of being shortlisted for the round of 16.
The rules of the tournament are the initial stage of unrestricted fighting, where all fighters wear Jeet Kune Do simple protective gear and gloves on their hands, and the top 5 in each region are first launched, and then the top 20 are determined, and then the top 16, top 10, top 8, and top 3 battles are played.
To Wang Xiaohu's surprise, Stephen Chow stopped in the top 16, Donnie Yen, who had undergone Bruce Lee's hellish training, reached the top 16, and Jet Li barely entered the top 16.
"Master, I've embarrassed you." Stephen Chow is like a child who has done something wrong, after losing the game, he came to Wang Xiaohu for the first time, and Jet Li was the one who passed.
Looking at Stephen Chow's dejected appearance, Wang Xiaohu sighed for no reason, it seems that this thing still needs to understand the surname enough, Stephen Chow has insisted on it for more than ten years, and he is not as good as Donnie Yen and Jet Li in terms of understanding the surname.
"There's nothing to be ashamed of." Wang Xiaohu patted Stephen Chow on the shoulder and said with a smile: "At least after this incident, you realize your shortcomings, and put away your mind in the entertainment industry in the future." ”
"Hmm." Stephen Chow nodded, and said in his heart that I have no future in the martial arts world, and the entertainment industry is not the same? You must know that I have been running for several years, as the eldest brother of the "New Seven Little Blessings", Jie Tsai and Dan Tsai, Ah Weng, Ah Huang They are all in the limelight, and even Andy is also rising in the singing industry, but I am still the king of the dragon set.
Wang Xiaohu seemed to see through his thoughts, knocked on the table with a smile and said, "Xingzai, how many years have you been in the circle?" ”
"Four years, three months and two days." Stephen Chow blurted out without thinking.
Wang Xiaohu was also shocked when he heard this, but he was a little embarrassed and muttered: "Four years is not too short." ”
Stephen Chow pricked up his ears and stared at his master with his eyes, waiting for the following.
"In this way, you go back to Li Shaonan to get a set of scripts for a TV series, which is about the type of gambling films, and I planned to let you star with Andy in a few years"
Without waiting for Wang Xiaohu to finish speaking, Stephen Chow jumped up and shouted with a smile: "Thank you, Master, thank you, Master, I will not waste this precious opportunity, devote myself wholeheartedly, and strive to win the next Academy Award newcomer Wang." ”
"Haha, you stupid boy, it's a TV series, not a movie!" Wang Xiaohu scolded with a smile, seeing that Xingzi swept away his previous disappointment and decadence, the master was also happy for him, waved his hand and said, "Hurry up and find Shaonan." ”
"Okay, okay." Stephen Chow was so excited that he swayed left and right when he went out, and it could be seen that he had been the king of dragon sets for several years, which really suffocated him.
After Stephen Chow left, Jet Li said, "Master, I"
"What, you're not busy at work?" Wang Xiaohu also thought that Jet Li was here to accompany Stephen Chow.
Under normal circumstances, if Xingzi does something wrong, he will definitely pull someone to help intercede, "Kung Fu Emperor Fang Shiyu" is now doing well at the box office, so he will pull Jet Li over to help.
Now that Stephen Chow heard that he was going to be the starring actor, he had long forgotten Jet Li.
"It was, but not anymore." Jet Li blinked, as if he had made an important decision, and said for a long time: "Master, I, I also want to undergo hellish training." ”
Wang Xiaohu said: "You can find Li Yuanxin, he is now training Donnie Yen, and I can't get out of the way for the time being." ”
"I've looked for it." Jet Li said with a bitter face: "Uncle Li said that although my foundation is good, my surname is not as good as Donnie Yen in the ring competition and street fighting, and I used to learn routines, he doesn't seem to like teaching me very much." ”
"Isn't it?"
Now it was Wang Xiaohu's turn to wonder, and said in his heart, Brother Xiaolong, are you still picky eaters? Which one of these apprentices is not your apprentice, how can anyone pick and choose between apprentices and grandchildren?
"Hmm." Wang Xiaohu frowned and groaned: "I have written this down, you don't have any ideological burden, you can reach the top 16 has fully demonstrated your ability, don't compare with Donnie Yen, after all, the two of you have lived in different environments since childhood." ”
Donnie Yen grew up in the United States since he was a child, and he was bullied by foreign devils a lot, so what he was most passionate about all day long was to find someone to fight, and he was particularly rebellious and wild in his bones, and even set a record of skipping school for a week in a row and bullying foreign devils.
Jet Li has studied in a sports school since he was a child, and he either practices routines every day, or tosses eighteen kinds of weapons, and the so-called art industry has a specialization, although he later learned a lot of actual combat with Wang Xiaohu, and has a certain actual combat ability, but there is still a big gap between the actual combat experience of the two.
Wang Xiaohu persuaded him for a long time, and Jet Li left in a huff.
"I didn't expect it, the comparison psychology between the apprentices is still very strong, and I have to give them a lesson when I have time, and I can't be disunited because of the comparison." Wang Xiaohu muttered to himself.
After lunch, Wang Xiaohu set off to the "old base", which was the abandoned factory used for the training of dragon and tiger martial artists, since the opening of Concord International Film and Television City, it is basically in a state of abandonment, and is now used to train "Zhongnanhai bodyguards" and "Seraphs".
When I got out of the car, I could hear the gunshots coming from inside from a long distance, and the intermittent gunshots were vaguely mixed with a few shouts.
When Wang Xiaohu walked into the training ground, Bruce Lee was holding his hands behind his back, his murderous eyes kept cruising back and forth among the bodyguards, and every time he was seen by his sharp eyes, the bodyguards lowered their heads in shame.
Just listen to Bruce Lee's loud reprimand: "You rotten boys, do you think it's great to be on the battlefield in Vietnam?" If it weren't for the mercy of my subordinates just now, a few of you would have rushed to the street on the spot, with your level, not to mention protecting the head of state, even ordinary people can't protect it! ”
The bodyguards were silent and obediently listened to the lecture.
No way, who made their instructors too perverted, just now five or six people held pistols and shot continuously, the magazine was empty and did not hit the other party, not to say, but also let the other party run to the eyelids lowered, and before everyone could react, they fell to the ground in a daze, until now, these bodyguards still feel cold on their backs.
This guy is not like a pervert, and if he encounters it on the battlefield, everyone's survival rate is almost zero.
Bruce Lee pointed his finger at a few bodyguards and said, "A few of you are now running a hundred laps around the base, and the others are working in groups of three to simulate the protection work of various scenes." ”
"Yes!" After the bodyguards answered loudly, they hurriedly formed a team and went to work, for fear that if they moved slowly, they would be "specially cared for" by the instructor.
"Tsk, it's very majestic." Wang Xiaohu walked over and said with a smile.
Bruce Lee shrugged and said: "No way, although they are all military retirees, their overall physical quality is too poor, they have to train from scratch, you don't write scripts in the company, what are you doing here?" ”
The two walked to the corner of the venue and sat down, and Wang Xiaohu said, "I heard that you rejected Jie Zai." ”
"That's right." Bruce Lee nodded, and did not deny it: "His foundation and talent are good, but the previous education has limited his development in actual combat, although he can receive hellish training, but his achievements will not be too high, I feel that he still takes a chic and elegant route, and it is more suitable to make movies and be an action star." ”
Bruce Lee spoke so directly, and he didn't know how to save face for others.
In this regard, Wang Xiaohu nodded in agreement, Bruce Lee's evaluation of Jet Li is still quite pertinent.
"But after all, he is also your apprentice, you must teach him something, right?" Wang Xiaohu said with a smile.
When Bruce Lee heard this, he turned his head to look at Wang Xiaohu, and said a little depressedly: "You are his master, whether it is actual combat or performance, you are not inferior to me, what is commendable is that you have not given up practicing martial arts all these years, and you will surpass me sooner or later when you become a martial artist, why don't you teach him personally?" ”
"Don't I have to be busy making money for you?" Wang Xiaohu sighed and said: "Money, we need billions of dollars, I'm busy with the spinning now, how can I waste time?" ”
Bruce Lee looked at the sky speechlessly, and finally compromised: "Okay, you won." Let Jay and Daniel come to me tomorrow. ”
Every time he saw Bruce Lee deflated, Wang Xiaohu would always be in a good mood, and he said with a smile: "That's it, I'll go back and urge the Yankees now, so that they can determine the time and rules of the Huayang boxing match." ”
"As soon as possible." Bruce Lee said: "I have been impatient for a long time, and if I hadn't had a training mission, I would have hated to fly to the United States and stink those arrogant guys." ”
"Big brother, don't mind, you are a generation of grandmasters, and it is better to do less of this kind of unpopular means." Wang Xiaohu said fearfully.
If this lord beats the boxing champions half-naked or something in advance, the Yankees will definitely cancel the Huayang boxing match, and how can American boxing be embarrassed in front of the people of the world at that time!
"For the sake of MMA, you have to endure!" Wang Xiaohu did not forget to tell him before leaving.
Bruce Lee waved his hand impatiently and said, "I know, I know, it's all for MMA!" ”
Brother Xiaolong held back his stomach and had no place to vent, so the "Zhongnanhai bodyguards" could be regarded as suffering.
