654 What is after Shaolin?

Tsuyoshi Kato, male, 39 years old, American-American, joined the Screen Actors Guild in 1972, but did not participate in any film or TV series shooting in Hollywood for several years, and in August 1976, he participated in training at the Los Angeles Gokukaku Jarate, and became the most powerful player in the gym in just one year.

In 1977, when Oyamabe arrived in Los Angeles, he admired Katoda and immediately brought him back to his home country as a disciple.

In 1978, Katoda began to shoot "The Strongest Karate on Earth" based on the true biography of Oyama Beida, and began to show his unique cinematic talent, which became the highest-grossing film of the year, and later made "Samurai" an outstanding representative of the new wave director in the film industry.

After "Samurai", Kato Tian Tsuyoshi gave up the film to concentrate on martial arts, and challenged the "100 Kumite" in 79, setting a proud record of 99KO1 draw, and was evaluated as a "karate genius" by Oyama Beida, and it is rumored that he is the closest person to Oyama Beida, and has the hope of surpassing Oyama Beida.

Wang Xiaohu looked at the information sheet about Kato Tian Gang that his wife had sorted out, and his brows were twisted into Sichuan characters, from these materials, there is nothing suspicious about Kato Tian Gang's identity, it is nothing more than that he has amazing talent in the two fields of karate and film, not only becoming the representative of the emerging director of this film, but also the karate genius closest to Oyama Beida.

And this man has his own mansion and famous car in Yuben, and has been living a very enjoyable single life, and there is not even any information about him before 1972.

"Grandma, is there such a clean person in this world?" Wang Xiaohu scolded, threw the materials on the table, and frowned and recalled the process of his discussion with Kato Tiangang, he had watched the video of the "100 Kumite" customs clearance more than 100 times.

Every time he watches it, he feels that although Kato's movements are standard karate moves, they are improved karate, such as simplifying some repetitive and anti-locking movements to make karate more lethal, to be precise, it is to upgrade the unreasonable places of karate, which is very streamlined and direct.

"It's kind of like Jeet Kune Do."

Jeet Kune Do does not belong to any one school, nor is it a hodgepodge of integrating the essence of various sects, even Wang Xiaohu does not dare to claim how much he knows Jeet Kune Do, which shows that it is tolerant.

For example, just like Einstein's "theory of relativity" is suitable for solving and exploring the mysteries of the entire universe, Jeet Kune Do is a fighting science based on only "two hands and two legs", it cannot be absolutely perfect, but for people who only have "two hands and two legs", and for people who one-sidedly emphasize the overall fighting of the human limbs and eight bodies, Jeet Kune Do is relatively perfect.

It is this relative perfection that has created that Jeet Kune Do does not refer to specific moves or routines, as long as a martial artist who conforms to the general outline of Jeet Kune Do, improves and simplifies his martial arts in accordance with the philosophy of Jeet Kune Do, he can call himself a Jeet Kune Do practitioner.

This seems to be a bit contradictory, if you want to blame, you can only blame Bruce Lee for not really perfecting Jeet Kune Do, so that Wang Xiaohu is now in the groping stage.

So now Wang Xiaohu is even more suspicious of Kato Tiangang's identity, because he knows that he is Bruce Lee's closed disciple, and whether it is in his previous life or in this life, there is no rumor that Bruce Lee has taken another apprentice.

"It seems that there are some things that need to be investigated slowly."

Wang Xiaohu sighed, locked the materials and newspapers in the safe seriously, and then stretched out to exercise in the practice room.

After entering September, the "Hong Kong Film Promotion" activities also began to be launched in major cities on the mainland, with a total of 20 Hong Kong films, which can be described as rare spiritual food for the people of the mainland, and for a time the mainland set off an upsurge of Hong Kong cultural research.

"Shaolin Temple" was also released in North America, for this movie that has been waiting for more than half a year, several Hollywood giants have not been soft in terms of publicity, after all, Wang Xiaohu's golden sign is placed here, and the success of "e.t" has stimulated the market, and the current sales of "Shaolin Temple" in the world are also very exciting, they want to see what trend Wang Xiaohu wants to set off this time.

"Minister Huang, yes, I just called you this time to say this matter, our Shaolin monks and main actors can go to the United States to carry out propaganda work, rest assured, this time it will be more sensational than the previous propaganda, remember to inform the counterparts of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, this can be a very meaningful propaganda."

Wang Xiaohu called the Ministry of Culture of the mainland, before the release of the film, Minister Huang urged the publicity work more than once, although it had been done in the United States before, but those can only build momentum for the film, fully attract the curiosity of the American audience, and after the release of the film, the work of asking for publicity is not only to add box office data, but also to give the leading power of publicity to the mainland.

After all, Wang Xiaohu filmed "Shaolin Temple" under the banner of promoting Chinese culture, and his box office goal has been successfully achieved, and the remaining task has to be taken over by the mainland officials, expanding another meaning of "Shaolin Temple" again, and playing the signboard of "Shaolin Kung Fu".

Minister Huang is naturally overjoyed, they have been waiting for this opportunity for more than a day or two, for Wang Xiaohu to be so considerate of the country, Minister Huang is deeply pleased, or Mr. Wang is thoughtful!

Minister Huang put down the phone and immediately submitted the publicity plan to the above, and at the same time implemented some of the things that Wang Xiaohu explained one by one.

The first thing is naturally to entrust Liang to carry out the plan of "saving Shaolin" with a master of national arts, which is the primary task to be started after Wang Xiaohu's capital injection, in fact, the above is very supportive of Wang Xiaohu's spontaneous rescue of "Shaolin culture", after all, the country can save a lot of money.

The second is to help Liang Yiquan and others establish a team of warrior monks in Shaolin Temple, and call on Shaolin monks to return to Shaolin Temple throughout the country to revitalize the development of Shaolin Temple.

Since Wang Xiaohu has graced the faces of the Chinese in this book, the Chinese people are extremely interested in the word kung fu, plus now that "Hong Kong film promotion" is in full swing, the people also like martial arts films and kung fu films very much, and then the martial arts boom set off by "Shaolin Temple" has become even more crazy.

Wang Xiaohu's plan is to cooperate with the political axe and guide this craze in the right direction, so as not to let some immoral and smoking guys take advantage of the loopholes and harm the people and the next generation.

At the same time as the establishment of the Shaolin warrior monk team, Liang Yiquan also received further instructions from Wang Xiaohu, in order to do a good job of excavation and sorting work, speed up the progress of the work, Liang Yiquan gave training classes to the warrior monk team in the morning and afternoon, visited some well-known old boxers in the morning, and sorted out martial arts materials at night.

Some old boxers kept their scores, so he borrowed them and carefully copied them to sort them out. Some people didn't want to borrow it, so he found a stool and sat at his house to copy. Some did not have a boxing score, so Liang Yiquan asked them to dictate and record it himself.

Some have both boxing and boxing skills, but they are unwilling to give it or say it, so Liang Yiquan patiently does ideological work, so that these old boxers can put down their ideological baggage, relieve their worries, and cooperate with their work.

From 1981 to 1987, Dengfeng donated a total of 12 martial arts materials, of which 11 came from the Liang family, and these 11 were written by Liang Yiquan as the ancestors of the Liang family. Such as "Shaolin Martial Arts", "Shaolin Martial Arts Research" and "Songshan Shaolin Boxing Method" and other theoretical monographs, while engaged in the compilation work, he also published 29 papers in domestic and foreign newspapers and magazines, and was awarded the advanced worker by the Henan Provincial Sports Commission.

Of course, that's all for later.

There is no doubt that Wang Xiaohu really chose the right person this time, and he won a very good reputation in the domestic martial arts world by using measures such as "Shaolin Temple", Shaolin Kung Fu, and martial arts culture rescue.

Domestic and foreign affairs have been dealt with, Wang Xiaohu also took the time to go to Jet Li's home, now Jet Li's body has fully recovered, and he learned that his master avenged himself happily, and the gratitude in Jet Li's heart could not be expressed in words for a while.

"Jie Zai, you also know about Liu Jialiang looking for you to shoot "North and South Shaolin", right?"

Jet Li nodded: "Well, I know, Liu Jialiang came to me for afternoon tea a few days ago and said a lot of things about the film." ”

"Well, "Shaolin Temple" is now blooming all over the world, and you can make another movie of the same type, but after this movie, you don't try to make Shaolin-themed movies again." Wang Xiaohu said with a smile.

"Then what am I going to shoot again?" Jet Li tilted his head and asked.

Wang Xiaohu said: "You don't have to worry about this, I already have a preliminary plan, you can hone your acting skills in "North and South Shaolin" first, but there are a few things you must pay attention to." ”

"Master, you say." Jet Li's expression was very serious and serious, he knew that it was not the master who took this plan to shoot this time, so he remembered everything the master said very carefully.

"First, don't play a big name on the set, you are also a public figure now, you can't be proud of the popularity brought by "Shaolin Temple", if you don't know what playing a big name is, you can ask Jackie Chan, the things he did back then are your example."

Jet Li hurriedly stuck out his tongue, he still had some knowledge of Jackie Chan's popularity after "Drunken Fist", he didn't want to repeat Jackie Chan's old path, and hurriedly promised: "Master rest assured, Jackie knows what to do." ”

Wang Xiaohu nodded with satisfaction, he has seen Jet Li's growth in the past few years, he can still maintain a calm attitude at this time, which shows that there is still a lot of plasticity, at least after the Shaolin theme, Wang Xiaohu has prepared the Fang Shiyu series for him.
