366 Blocking Hollywood movie invasions

In March, Hong Kong was close to 20 degrees, and the temperature was quite a matter, Wang Xiaohu was wearing long sleeves and a black windbreaker on his forearm, and came to the base with Sammo Hung early in the morning. 【】

Since its establishment last year, the Dragon and Tiger Martial Arts Union has trained three batches of students, among the 120 students, in addition to the four dragons, there are no other martial arts stars that Wang Xiaohu is familiar with, and Wang Xiaohu has seriously summarized afterwards that the only reason for this phenomenon is: the famous martial arts actor fire martial arts instructor he is familiar with has been apprenticed to the master at this time, and some are also passed down from father to son, such as Yuan's father and son, such as Cheng Gang, Cheng Xiaodong and his son.

The dragon and tiger martial artists who can enter the trade union are mostly people who work hard at the grassroots level, and Wang Xiaohu is not disappointed in the slightest, because the original intention of the union is to improve the treatment of the dragon and tiger martial artists, and now it seems that the effect has been achieved, all the martial artists registered in the trade union can basically find a job on the set, and the salary problem has been sufficiently guaranteed, and the 120 trainees who have been trained have now become second-tier actors or martial artists in major studios, and those with excellent grades such as Luo Jianhua and Wan Hanfei were signed by Wang Xiaohu into the Concord Company, the two also played some supporting roles in "Drunken Fist" and "Loser" last year.

When the two are not filming, they make guest coaches at the base, and in addition to normal training, they will also share their experience on the set with everyone.

"Brother Tiger is here!" I don't know who shouted, and the 40 trainees who were being trained all stopped what they were doing and greeted Wang Xiaohu in unison.

"Brother Tiger."

"Brother Bao."

Wan Hanfei and Luo Jianhua ran over, "Brother Hu, the candidate you want has been found, two of the current fourth batch of students were Muay Thai fighters, one Thai and one Hong Kong. Wan Hanfei finished his report respectfully, then turned around and shouted to the four trainees: "Yodsanklai and Luo Zhengyang are out of the ranks!" ”

Two students, one tall and one short, trotted out of the queue, ran neatly in front of Wang Xiaohu, and said with a serious expression: "Brother Tiger, Brother Bao." ”

This posture is very military-like, which is also what Wang Xiaohu requested, Wang Xiaohu nodded and looked at the two people, and asked, "Which of you is Yodsanklai?" ”

The slightly shorter one said, "Brother Tiger, it's me." ”

"Hehe, you're Thai. How many of you in Thailand are named Yodsanklai? Wang Xiaohu smiled and continued to ask. Because in his memory, Yodsanklai was a famous Thai Muay Thai fighter. He began boxing with his brother at the age of 8 and became famous at the age of 18, and was recognized as the top champion of Muay Thai. And Yodsanklai is a post-85 generation, so I was very curious about the guy with the same name in front of me.

Yasanklai was stunned for a moment, not understanding what Wang Xiaohu meant, and tried to frown and think for a long time, and replied in not very standard Cantonese: "It seems that I am the only one in our village named Yasanklai." ”

"Oh." Wang Xiaohu nodded and said, "The kind of Muay Thai you learned?" ”

"Ancient Muay Thai." Yodsanklai said succinctly.

"Ah Hu, this kid has good skills in ancient Muay Thai, I tried it yesterday." Sammo Hung said on the side. Wang Xiaohu turned his head curiously and said with a smile: "Who wins and who loses?" ”

Sammo Hung pouted and said, "Of course it's me." As soon as he didn't want to say this, the audience let out a low laugh, Sammo Hung immediately coughed twice when he saw this, and the low laughter quickly disappeared, but everyone looked at him with very strange expressions.

Wang Xiaohu took all these into his eyes, and naturally understood that the result of the game was not what Sammo Hung said, obviously this Yodsanklai has some ability, nodded at the moment, and then looked at his appearance, he can basically do the Muay Thai fighter that Ah Hu killed in the lounge 14 years ago.

"Brother Tiger, I, I have received the most rigorous ancient Muay Thai training since I was a child, and I dream of carrying forward Muay Thai to the world. Brother Tiger, you are my idol. Yodsanklai said with a blushing face of excitement.

Wang Xiaohu sighed when he heard this, it seems that this Yodsanklai is not easy, patted him on the shoulder and said: "Do it well, and when you have the opportunity, I will arrange for you to train with Zhou Billy to realize your dream." ”

Yodsanklai shook his head and said, "Brother Tiger, I don't want to promote Muay Thai through fights, I want to promote Muay Thai through movies like Brother Xiaolong." ”

Wang Xiaohu couldn't help crying and laughing when he heard this, "Let's start from the basics slowly." "The best movie to promote Muay Thai is the "Boxing" series, the two "Boxing" made Muay Thai popular all over the world, and also made Tony Jia a global action star, in fact, Yodsanklai is not handsome, it is an ordinary appearance, far inferior to Tony Jia's photo, it is a good phenomenon to have such a great dream, the problem is that you can't eat fat people in one bite, and you need to pay more sweat to realize your dreams.

Wang Xiaohu decided to observe Yodsanklai for a while, and if he can really endure hardships and have a good character, it would be good to help him realize this dream by the way. (That who's who, zh222, you haven't been bubbling in the hardcore group for a long time lately, and your super dragon set has appeared!) Just when Wang Xiaohu was thinking about things, another tall man directly introduced himself: "Brother Hu, my name is Luo Zhengyang, male, 20 years old, surname Ge meets acquaintances, big grinning, narcissistic, timid, unsociable, obscene, 180cm tall, slightly fat, for the old and decrepit, it is easy to attract the attention of the police in public." ”

As soon as these words came out, the audience laughed again, the muscles on Wan Hanfei's face twitched, and he couldn't wait to go up and give Luo Zhengyang a few slaps, and shouted loudly with a gloomy face: "Luo Zhengyang, what kind of foreign appearance are you!" Then he immediately said to Wang Xiaohu carefully: "Brother Hu, this kid has a problem with his brain, and he usually doesn't look like this." ”

"Hehe, it seems that our fourth batch of students have a surname." Wang Xiaohu waved his hand and said, "It's okay, so that you can have vitality." ”

Luo Zhengyang saw that Wang Xiaohu didn't blame himself, so he smirked and said: "Brother Hu, I don't usually do this, but I am nervous and a little incoherent when I see you." ”

Wan Hanfei whispered in his ear: "Your kid is lucky today, but the death penalty can be avoided and the living crime cannot be escaped, and I will run thirty laps around the base for Lao Tzu, and don't have lunch if you can't finish the run." ”

"Ah, Brother Fei, don't, you'll die if you run thirty laps!" Luo Zhengyang had a bitter face

Luo Zhengyang's skin is a little dark, which is somewhat similar to the Muay Thai king Tawang in the final ring match in "A Tiger", Wang Xiaohu watched it, and was more satisfied with the two students, and immediately watched the Muay Thai display of the two, and found that Yodsanklai's ancient Muay Thai foundation is indeed in place, while Luo Zhengyang is learning European-style Muay Thai, with the shadow of free fighting.

There are not many martial arts movements in the film "Ah Hu", so Wang Xiaohu designed several sets of actions according to the characteristics of the two, and the time of the morning passed quickly, and after telling the two to train hard, he and Sammo Hung rushed to the TVB building.

The filming of "Jingwumen" has come to an end at this time, and the filming has been tossing and turning for almost a year, which can be regarded as the highest record since the opening of TVB, for which Wang Xiaohu is also calm, anyway, he is not in a hurry at all now.

"Sixth uncle, I want to borrow your company's Mi Xue." Wang Xiaohu said straight to the point after seeing Run Run Shaw.

"Michelle?" Run Run Shaw was stunned for a moment, and when he saw Wang Xiaohu's serious expression, he seemed to realize something, "You kid have a new film to shoot?" ”

Wang Xiaohu nodded, sat down and whispered: "Yes, to make a Hong Kong version of "Rocky", Mi Xue needs to make a cameo in part of the scene. ”

"What do you want me to say hello to you!" Run Run Shaw frowned and looked a little annoyed: "I've always wondered one thing, "Rocky" and "Home Alone" have killed all sides in Hollywood, why don't you take it to Hong Kong to be released, and at this time you have to shoot Rausch's Hong Kong version of "Rocky". ”

In the face of Run Run Shaw's questioning, Wang Xiaohu smiled freely, sighed and said: "Sixth uncle, you should know that there is a big surprise between Hong Kong and Hollywood in terms of regional culture, and it is no problem for me to move it directly to the public, but the problem is that the audience may not be able to understand it, and may not buy it." ”

"Hmm." Run Run Shaw nodded heavily. Seeing this, Wang Xiaohu continued: "Moreover, I don't want to develop the habit of showing Hollywood films in Hong Kong. Once this habit is over, Hong Kong's originally stable taste for appreciation will be changed, and our Hong Kong films will also lose a part of the audience, and after a series of chain reactions, we will not lose the audience, or even the entire market! ”

Wang Xiaohu's words are not alarmist, in the previous life when the Hong Kong film market was in a downturn, the Americans used "Jurassic Park" to pry open the door to the Hong Kong film market, and achieved a box office hit, and finally several major theaters in Hong Kong tasted the sweetness, and successively introduced a large number of Hollywood films, since then Hong Kong's local film positions have been lost one after another.

This is definitely not what Wang Xiaohu wants to see, although this incident will happen in 20 years, but Wang Xiaohu will not become a sinner in history, all he is doing now is to do the opposite, using the foresight in his mind, to shoot American blockbusters first, sweeping the North American box office at the same time, and keeping the last pure land in Hong Kong.

The most effective way to guard this pure land is to control the theater chain, only by firmly controlling the Hong Kong theater chain in their own hands, can Hollywood movies be blocked from the door, of course, the key is that Hong Kong's local films also have to compete, if they can make Chinese films that amaze and recognize Americans, it is still a difficult task at present, and it is not Wang Xiaohu who can do it alone.

Run Run Shaw's fingers were tapping on the table, he thought that what Wang Xiaohu said was very reasonable, and now he supported his chin with his hand and said: "It sounds a bit unfounded, but it is very insightful, Bruce Lee's previous Hong Kong box office record is held by "The Voice of America", Americans make a lot of money with us, and we can't let this happen in the future." ”
