501 generalist directors can also be negligent

Following the silence of "Ip Man" for five years, Wang Xiaohu fought again in the film industry with the cold image of "Hong Xiguan", and teamed up with mainland youth martial arts champions to set off a wave of reform in Chinese kung fu films. [Reading Network]"

"There is no doubt that "Hong Xiguan" has become a movie not to be missed this year, Wang Xiaohu deserves to be a wonder in the Hong Kong film industry, the film will be popular funny, comedy, martial arts and other elements included, two pairs of father and son, a pair of mother and daughter meet burst out of hilarious chemical effect, I believe that no one will question Wang Xiaohu after this film, it turns out that he is an all-round director, is the hand of God!"

Yi Xiujia, deputy editor-in-chief of "Film Fortnightly", and Yu Yongjian, editor-in-chief, respectively published these two articles, in which Yi Xiujia's comments were concise and to the point, interpreting the huge shock and change brought to the Chinese film industry by the release of "Hong Xiguan".

In fact, it is true, after the 28th of the lunar month, "Hong Xiguan" caused a hit in Hong Kong, and there is no trend of sluggishness during the Spring Festival, Concord executives announced that their theaters will not close their doors during the Spring Festival, and at the same time the movie ticket prices have been adjusted, and all citizens who walk into the theater from the first day of the first month to the eighth day of the first month will receive a 7% discount.

Such a means of promotion quickly got the response of the citizens, who let everyone talk about "Hong Xiguan" when visiting relatives and friends. Those who have seen it will blow this film all over the sky, and seduce those who have not seen it, and besides, movie tickets are not expensive, and it is a pastime for a family to go to the theater to see it.

This is exactly what makes Wang Xiaohu's plan succeed, and what he wants to do is to get the citizens into the habit of going to the cinema during the Spring Festival, and not only that, but also to make them think that it will be a fashion. There is no loss at 7% off movie tickets, and he still uses the means of small profits and quick turnover.

Of course, under this crazy craze, it is the reflection of Hong Kong filmmakers. Every time Wang Xiaohu tries a new theme and a new type of shooting, they subconsciously think that it is impossible, but every time, when they are not optimistic, Wang Xiaohu's movie is a hot seller, and it is very popular.

After this time, they were no longer jealous of Wang Xiaohu, but calmed down and reflected, why can Wang Xiaohu's movies succeed every time, and what are the elements of success?

Wang Xiaohu has proven his dominance in kung fu films in the early Republic of China, and now he has slapped these filmmakers who rely on the old and sell the old with costume martial arts films, which is also a cliché plot and cliché jokes, the hero defeats the villain, avenges someone, and finally hugs the beauty, but Wang Xiaohu can shoot so good-looking and so popular, you can't be convinced.

At this time, Yu Yongjian's professional comprehensive review articles became the object of Hong Kong filmmakers' pursuit, and at the same time, they also realized the authoritative surname of "Film Fortnightly" in this regard.

Together with the hit of the film, what is bred is "unbearable, no need to endure it anymore", "human hot wheels", "little suckling pig that has been raised for more than ten years", "cooler" and other mantras that make people laugh.

Since its inception, "Hong Kong Women's Daily" has always maintained sales from the perspective of women's delicacy.

Ms. Zhang Meijuan, who has become the editor-in-chief of the newspaper, used "I have never seen such a cool child" to express her love for Jet Li.

She said in the article: "This child must be very easy to raise, he understands everything, knows everything, does not need to be taken care of, does not need to be carefully cared for, when necessary, it is enough to say a word softly." This kid never asks for anything, eats whatever he wants, and holds up with his father if he doesn't eat. Such a young child has already received a group of younger brothers, and it is rare that as the boss, he also personally washes his father's underwear, although the underwear is changed to his own underwear after being washed out. has a high IQ and a higher EQ, seeing that my father is interesting to other girls, I call my mother directly when I open my mouth, and I even save the fee for changing my mouth. ”

"Of course, this child is actually very difficult to raise, he understands everything, understands everything. In front of him, it is useless to cover up or explain, he is like a mirror, directly reflecting your true face, the beautiful place is beautiful, and the inconvenient place is also invisible. Raising such a child, if you are not upright enough, sooner or later you will collapse one day. ”

Zhang Meijuan said at the end of the article: "Although Jet Li is electrocuted for the first time, and the performance in the film is also a little green, but it is in line with the surname setting of the character Mu Ne in the play, although the acting skills are not very good, but the action is absolutely amazing, especially the last martial arts scene between father and son against Zhou Billy is even more elegant and chic, I believe he will become an excellent successor to Wang Xiaohu." ”

is such an article that praised Jet Li to the sky, so that Wang Xiaohu did not calm down on the first day of the new year, why? It's not that a few little guys in Xingzi are making a fuss, the children are sometimes outspoken, and the master makes Jet Li popular, how can a few apprentices agree, so on the first day of the Lunar New Year, Wang Xiaohu has not yet gone out to give Yu Zhanyuan a New Year's greeting, Stephen Chow, Huang Yuehua, Andy Lau The three little guys, plus Shen Moyan, knocked on the door.

Led by Stephen Chow, Shuanghua followed, and the three boys knelt down to Wang Xiaohu as soon as they met.

"I wish the master and the lady a happy New Year, as blessed as the East China Sea Shoubi Nanshan, and I wish the little junior brother to be handsome and chic, and his magic skills are world-famous!"

Stephen Chow said seriously, but Wang Xiaohu and Zhao Yazhi couldn't smile bitterly.

"Let's get up." Wang Xiaohu shook his head helplessly, signaling his wife to give red envelopes to the apprentices, Huang Yuehua and Andy Lau stood up obediently, but Stephen Chow was still kneeling on the ground. "Master, when are you going to hold me?"

"You're still young, and when you grow up, you'll naturally become popular, do you still use me to hold it?"

"Of course!" Stephen Chow pouted and said, "I've been with you for almost five years, and I haven't been like Jie Zai." ”

Wang Xiaohu was slightly stunned, and instantly understood what kind of medicine was sold in this kid's gourd, and at the same time he was shocked in his heart: Yes, he was excited to harvest Stephen Chow as an apprentice, but this may not be a good thing.

"The King of Comedy" can be said to be Stephen Chow's semi-autobiographical movie, which means that if there is no star master who has worked hard at the grassroots level for more than ten years, it will be impossible for the great nonsensical grandmaster to appear in the future, and it is impossible for those bitter little people to meet the audience.

Thinking of this, Wang Xiaohu's brows furrowed, there is no doubt that Wang Xiaohu now suddenly realized that he had done something wrong with good intentions. Sometimes you obviously want to help someone, but you help invisibly, which is Wang Xiaohu's complicated mood now.

Do you want Wang Xiaohu to say to Stephen Chow: Xingzai, you are not suitable for this kind of performance route, you should take the nonsensical and take the track of the development of small people.

It's good to start with a baby, but it makes them lose some of the most basic and wonderful life experiences. After realizing this, Wang Xiaohu broke out in a cold sweat. It's good that it was discovered in time, otherwise it would have hurt the lives of several of them.

But now that things are like this, Wang Xiaohu can't say what he thinks, so he can only let them develop according to the original plan and give them guidance at a critical time.

"Xingzai, come over here." Wang Xiaohu beckoned and summoned Stephen Chow into the study, and after a long time, Stephen Chow came out happily, with a smile on his face and a touch of sadness.

"Ah Hu, what did you say to Xingzai?" Zhao Yazhi stepped forward and asked. Wang Xiaohu smiled and said, "It's nothing, let him keep a normal heart." By the way, I taught him a lot of tasks, and when he completed them, I agreed to praise him. ”

"Oh." Zhao Yazhi nodded, and suddenly pursed her lips and said with a smile: "I seem to remember that you promised me a lot of things." ”

"Really? How come I don't remember? ”

"You said you prepared a lot of scripts for me, but five years later, it seems like I've only acted in three of your films, right?" Zhao Yazhi reminded.

"That's right, but those aren't movie scripts, they're all TV series." After Wang Xiaohu finished speaking, he thought about it in his heart, "Shanghai Tang" is almost time, right? But we have to wait a little longer, because there are more important things at hand than "Shanghai Tang".

The so-called more important thing stems from the fact that on the night after the release of "Hong Xiguan", Lucas talked with Wang Xiaohu until dawn with almost self-blame, and Wang Xiaohu has been thinking about this issue for the past two days.

The problem is very specific to the surname, and this problem was committed by Wang Xiaohu and Lucas, to be precise, Wang Xiaohu was negligent, and the mature operation and box office myth of "Star Wars" in his previous life made Wang Xiaohu take it for granted that Lucas could shoot "Star Wars" well. And after Lucas took over the big frame of the script from Wang Xiaohu, he also filmed according to his own ideas, but after seeing "Hong Xiguan", the big director regretted it!

"Hell, after being profoundly influenced by Akira Kurosawa, I naively thought that the so-called Yuben culture represented the oriental culture, boss, if it wasn't for this time in Hong Kong to see the premiere of your movie, I might have made a well-known mistake."

The problem lies in the costumes and props of "Star Wars", and the laser sword used in it belongs to the copy of the sword, the clothes of the Jedi are inspired by the kimono, and the white face and red lips of Skywalker's wife when she was the queen is dressed up as a kabuki costume.

At first, Lucas didn't realize that this was a problem, but after watching Wang Xiaohu's fatal throat gun in "Hong Xiguan", the excellence of Lucas shouted regret and expressed deep apologies to Wang Xiaohu.

"Boss, please forgive me for being reluctant and forgetful, I should consult you in this regard." Lucas apologized very sincerely.

Wang Xiaohu sighed at that time, why didn't he blame himself. "It's not your fault, it should be my negligence, George, you have to believe in yourself, you have done well enough."

"So what now? I feel like "Star Wars" is really like a piece of shit now, and the more I watch it, the more uncomfortable it becomes. Lucas said depressedly.

"Remove the culture from it and remake it partially!" After Wang Xiaohu said this, he suddenly remembered that Li Guohao "asked for leave" from him a few days ago, and a burst of uneasiness suddenly rose in his heart.
