155 Concert at the premiere of "Raptors Across the River".
"Ma Yongzhen" will not surpass himself at the box office, Wang Xiaohu is very clear about this, it can be seen from his initial seizure of the market that he was premeditated. But this kind of premeditation could not be told to outsiders at that time, and he could only let himself steal the fun. It wasn't until now that the mystery was revealed, Zou Wenhuai, Bruce Lee and others suddenly realized, and they all admired Wang Xiaohu's long-term vision and said some painless sycophants, Wang Xiaohu sneered and did not admit or refute, and in the face of follow-up interviews with the media, he did not express any relevant opinions, but said that he was very busy recently, busy preparing for the premiere of "Raptors Across the River".
Wang Xiaohu is indeed very busy, in addition to helping Bruce Lee, he also has to go to Ip Man's old house every day to learn Wing Chun wooden stakes and consolidate the eight slashes, and even receive Huang Chunliang's bridge finding training to increase his hand-to-hand combat ability.
Although he had also studied Wing Chun in his previous life, and after his rebirth, he also studied with Bruce Lee for half a year, but each Wing Chun master has their own different views on finding bridges. In Huang Chunliang's simple words, it is "follow the bridge".
Huang Chunliang's bridge search pays more attention to the development of listening, once he comes into contact with the opponent's bridge hand in hand-to-hand combat, he immediately hits, or shoots, or makes, or takes, or falls, or put, relying on the skin to perceive the direction of the opponent's force, take the weakness of his strength, he goes up and I go down, and then takes advantage of the opponent's emptiness to give a stormy blow, so that he loses the ability to attack. This fully shows that Wing Chun has similarities with the four major domestic boxers.
Wong Chun-leung told Wong that Bruce Lee had been honing and summarizing through long-term practice, and immediately after arriving in the United States, he incorporated other techniques and leg techniques on the basis of Wing Chun, but he had always retained the techniques of finding bridges and marking fingers. Even if Huang Chunliang does not need to tell him, Wang Xiaohu also has deep feelings, how to say that he is also a close disciple of Jeet Kune Do, and he has a deep understanding of Jeet Kune Do, and the reason why he wants to accept orthodox Wing Chun training is to familiarize himself with Neijiaquan and master the entry path of Neijiaquan, and not to repeat Bruce Lee's pursuit of the pinnacle of external strength.
During the intermission, Wang Xiaohu kept telling Huang Chunliang about the surname setting of the character "Jinshan Finding", so that Huang Chunliang could figure it out more thoroughly. Lao Huang is old, it is rare to play a cameo role in the movie, the mood is naturally excited, in his opinion, he has no problem grasping the "Jinshan Find" in front of the gym, after all, Lao Huang was also once in the limelight, and hundreds of gyms made the entire Hong Kong martial arts community smell the "yellow" color change. Being able to relive this feeling in the film, Lao Huang feels very content!
"Xiaohu, don't worry, I'm sure that Jinshan is looking for this role!" Huang Chunliang said with confidence.
"Hey, that's good!" Wang Xiaohu stood up with a smile, moved his muscles and said, "Uncle Huang, you are going to play Xingyi Boxing in the film, why don't we two practice in advance?" ”
"Oh? Okay! Huang Chunliang became interested: "How are you going to let us fight?" ”
"I don't know much about Xingyi boxing, I only know that it is a more ferocious internal boxing, and if you don't move, you can't fight, it's a completely lifeless way of fighting." Wang Xiaohu told the truth, since he was reborn, he has only studied with a Wing Chun master like Shen Guohao, if he didn't stretch his hook and leak hand to make the other party unable to exert his strength, he must have been injured.
"Well, it's similar to what you said, but Xingyi Quan is divided into twelve styles, according to what you said about Jinshan Finding Kung Fu is extremely fierce, I feel that the tiger shape is more appropriate." After Huang Chunliang finished speaking, he made a tiger-shaped movement, and after studying with a Xingyi Quan master like Shen Zhong for a long time, he would also have some Xingyi Quan skills, "This tiger hugging his head is one of the six phases of Xingyi Fist, and he can deal with all attacks after practice, but Uncle Zhong said that the tiger shape is not easy to master, and I am just playing a role now." ”
Huang Chunliang said that he made tiger pounces, tiger support, tiger tail swing and other actions, it was really a tiger and a tiger, Wang Xiaohu looked at it and felt very powerful, and suddenly had a good impression of Xingyi Quan Tiger Shape, and secretly observed, who made him Wang Xiaohu, what do you not fight Tiger Shape? Since Huang Chunliang can secretly learn a few tricks when he is learning from Shen Zhong, he has a big deal to fight with Shen Zhong another day, and has the cheekiness to complete this set of tiger shapes, regardless of his rules of "passing on the inside but not the outside".
Generally speaking, Huang Chunliang's practice is very powerful, Wang Xiaohu pondered for a while and began to trick him, at first he was a little uncomfortable, as time went by, the two gradually found a knock on the door, Huang Chunliang also told him how Ip Man dealt with these tricks back then, one said and one listened, and the two of them were also happy.
After five or six rehearsals, Wang Xiaohu stopped and said to Huang Chunliang: "Uncle Huang, when you are filming, you should pay attention to the intensity, after all, filming is not a real fight, sometimes you have to control the strength after rubbing the opponent's body, otherwise it will hurt the opponent badly." ”
This made Huang Chunliang a little embarrassed: "Although I used to talk about my hands, I also kept my hands, but if I put all my hands into it, I will inevitably not pay attention to it, okay, in order to let you save some medical expenses, I will pay attention." ”
"Hehe, you don't have to pay attention when you fight me, who let me be beaten by you less during this time."
"Hahaha." The two looked at each other and laughed.
Since it is a biographical film, the protagonist Ip Man naturally has to appear in the film, when Wang Xiaohu put forward this opinion to Ip Man, Ip Man agreed after thinking about it.
Because Ip Man's health was not very good, Wang Xiaohu couldn't let him go to the studio to shoot, so he took advantage of the company's lack of time to shoot new films, pulled a camera, and in this way, in the Ye family's old house, he filmed Ip Man lying on the recliner leisurely drinking tea, knocking on Erlang's legs and listening to small songs, and even made an exception to walk in front of the wooden pile and practiced half a set of wooden pile method, which made Wang Xiaohu addicted.
Don't look at Ip Man's old age, it is very close to the time of Wang Xiaohu's death in his memory, but Ip Man's Wing Chun skills are still there, and he is still vigorous when he starts the wooden stake, in order to leave more influence information of a generation of grandmasters, Wang Xiaohu has taken several more groups, and almost the entire set of Wing Chun routines have been recorded. (Hmph, the Wing Chun boxing demonstrated by Ip Man himself that you saw on the Internet was all left by our Xiaohu shooting, so let's smash a monthly ticket for this!) hoho)
After the roles found by Ip Man, Zhang Yongcheng, and Jin Shan were finalized, Wang Xiaohu's next thing to consider was the personnel of Master Liao, Wu Idiot Lin, Sha Danxiong, General Miura, Zhou Qingquan, and Li Zhao.
The easiest thing to solve is the actor candidate Wu Idiot, Yuan Biao is the first choice, there is no need to discuss. At the same time, in Lu Xun's words, he has a vague self-examination and self-awakening, he is quite respectful and envious of kung fu, in order to pursue kung fu he even worshiped all the masters of "Wuguan Street", this kind of respect and envy, not only the amazing power brought by kung fu, but also a kind of spiritual instinct, of course, his admiration for Ip Man himself is self-evident. However, in Wang Xiaohu's eyes, he is a brave and resourceless hot-blooded young man, Yuan Biao has already performed Liu Guobang's hot-blooded young man well in "Righteous Heroes", and there should be no problem for him to shoot this type this time.
The role of Master Liao is a bit difficult, Wang Xiaohu pondered for a long time and couldn't find a candidate for Master Liao's flowing hairstyle in the original version, and finally remembered that Sammo Hung had asked him to prepare a personal choice for him a while ago, yes, let Sammo Hung come, thinking of Sammo Hung playing Yanqing boxing with his chubby body, Wang Xiaohu felt funny, and hoped that Senior Brother Sanmao would not be tragic at that time.
Since I heard from Zhao Yazhi that I praised myself for promoting their karate, Wang Xiaohu decided not to play the tough role of this villain anymore, and a guy like General Miura is still left to Yu himself to play, Wang Xiaohu remembered that the original candidate for Fujita Gang in "Jingwumen" was Kurata Baozhao, and later I heard that he was still a karate champion in a certain year, and now Kurata Baozhao is a little blessed, far less thin and energetic than Fumio Funakoshi that Wang Xiaohu saw in "Jingwu Heroes" in his previous life, but "Ip Man" The biggest attraction of this film is to fight the little devil, and if you let a real little devil play the little devil, it's also enjoyable, isn't it? Wang Xiaohu felt that he was very dark, and he actually had this kind of thought.
"Sha Danxiong, let Yuanhua? No, Yuan Hua is not clever enough, well, let Jackie Chan make a cameo, hahaha, if you want to be dropped by Yuan Biao in public, it's fun to think about it! Wang Xiaohu hid in the study to enjoy his heart's time, but was interrupted by a knock on the door.
Putting the script in the drawer with some displeasure, Wang Xiaohu opened the door with a straight face, he still thought it was Li Shaonan's little brat, and he knew that it was Bruce Lee who opened the door. "Hey Brother Xiaolong, why do you have time to come and sit with me today?"
Bruce Lee also punched him with a bad face: "Little tiger, my brother, have you forgotten what it is tonight, what are you doing hiding in this damn study all day!" ”
Wang Xiaohu has been too busy these days, and he really didn't remember what it was tonight, so he looked at Bruce Lee blankly, his eyes full of doubts. "What's the matter?"
"**, have you really forgotten, my God, tonight is the premiere of "Raptors Across the River", you guy cat is here to make me look for it!" Bruce Lee roared dissatisfiedly: "Go take a shower, change into clothes that are a little bit of a body, and follow me to Golden Harvest, there are still three hours before the premiere!" ”
Wang Xiaohu sweated profusely, went into the bathroom to take a shower as quickly as possible, and then shaved his beard and changed into a black suit, but he didn't wear a tie, who let this not be his movie premiere, and he was not the protagonist in the limelight.
"I said, haven't you forgotten to invite people to the premiere?" Bruce Lee asked a little depressed.
"Someone else? Who else but me? Wang Xiaohu is even more confused this time, could it be that someone else has participated in the post-production of "Raptors Across the River" in the past few days?
"I mean Angie!"
"Ugh! Ah Zhi, she may have a shift today, forget it, don't look for her, she is not a female lead, you should bring Linda, Guohao, Xiangning and them, it is best to bring the people of your clan to the theater together, let them feel the joy of your success! ”
Wang Xiaohu's answer attracted Bruce Lee's contemptuous gaze, "OK, OK, it's really not early, if it's any later, I'm afraid we will encounter a traffic jam again!" ”
It is still Golden Harvest's "leading cinema" theater, this cinema that can accommodate 600 people is the fourth time Wang Xiaohu has come in, different from the confusion and expectation of the first time, the nervousness of the second time, and the excitement and excitement of the third time, this time he accompanied Bruce Lee as a bystander.
Even though Wang Xiaohu currently holds the title of screenwriter and martial arts instructor of "Raptors Across the River", he did not interfere too much with the content and innovation of this film, but simply copied it completely according to his memory and sent it to Bruce Lee.
After all, Bruce Lee is an Asian idol superstar, and the cheers he just enjoyed when he walked into the theater were higher than Wang Xiaohu, Wang Xiaohu was not surprised by this, because now he has begun to start his own career, and the "Ip Man" he holds in his hand will make his career reach an unprecedented peak, "Ip Man is Bruce Lee's master, I am going to play your master, haha." Wang Xiaohu sneered in his heart, followed Bruce Lee and slowly walked into the aisle.
Many enthusiastic fans will also greet Wang Xiaohu after discovering him, who let his song "I am Bruce Lee" sing the hearts of all dragon fans!
"Ah Hu, before the film starts, let's sing "I Am Bruce Lee" live!"
"Yes, we want to listen to "I Am Bruce Lee"!"
After a voice sounded, the others immediately followed, such a call became louder and louder, and when Wang Xiaohu and Bruce Lee came to the front row, the business had already resounded throughout the movie theater, they stood up and waved their hands, and strongly asked Wang Xiaohu to sing on stage.
"Ah Hu, we want to listen to "I Am Bruce Lee"!"
"I want to listen to "I Am Bruce Lee"!"
“”
Bruce Lee frowned and looked around the audience, feeling that this sound was uncontrollable, even if the staff in the theater stopped it, it had no effect, so he shrugged his shoulders and said to Wang Xiaohu: "Xiaohu, it seems that you need to perform on stage in person, otherwise this group of fans may not be quiet, how about it, help me!" ”
Wang Xiaohu rolled his eyes and said, "Big brother, I haven't prepared at all, isn't this the program you prepared in advance?" ”
"No, I didn't arrange it!" Bruce Lee said innocently.
Zou Wenhuai also shook his head: "I didn't arrange it either!" ”
"It's okay to sing, I need a band, two nunchucks!" Wang Xiaohu said after thinking about it.
"Ok, give me a few minutes!" After Bruce Lee finished speaking, he jumped onto the big stage, picked up the microphone and raised his arms and shouted: "Everyone, please be quiet!" Well, Wang Xiaohu decided to sing "I Am Bruce Lee", although I was a little reluctant, after all, I sang this song most appropriately, but everyone knows that I am incomplete in five tones. Bruce Lee shrugged his shoulders and said he couldn't do anything, then he continued: "Give us a little time, our band will be here soon, of course, there is still a lack of props, which of you is here today with nunchucks?" ”
"Me!"
"Me!"
"And me!"
"OK, you guys actually came to the theater with nunchucks, do you want to rebel?" Bruce Lee pointed at those fans and said: "Hehe, it was a joke just now, now please contribute two nunchucks, our Mr. Wang Xiaohu is going to sing and perform nunchucks!" ”
"Okay!" The 600 spectators applauded loudly, they applauded warmly, they did not expect the organizers to cooperate so much and really realize their wishes.
Ten minutes later, the foreigner who played six villains and hooligans in "Raptors Across the River" took to the stage with various musical instruments, and their appearance immediately caused the audience to laugh, because these six unlucky guys were in the trailer. After they finished debugging, Wang Xiaohu also walked to the stage with two nunchucks of the same weight.
"Hey, I said you guys are not mistaken, today is the premiere of Mr. Bruce Lee's "Raptors Across the River", you actually let me sing on stage, do you want me to be in the limelight, you must know that I am wearing a formal suit now, and if I can do it, who will sew it for me!" Wang Xiaohu pretended to be very angry, and immediately provoked laughter below, and at the same time, many female surnames screamed loudly.
"I'll sew it for you!" "I'll sew it for you, too!" “”
"Very good, I remember you these beauties, if my pants are opened, your reporter will help me sew them." After Wang Xiaohu finished speaking, he fixed the microphone, then nodded to the six foreigners behind him, snapped his fingers handsomely and shouted: "music!" ”
After the familiar music sounded, Wang Xiaohu began to retreat two steps away, and suddenly danced the nunchucks in his hand, the lights on the big stage were dazzling, and the two wooden nunchucks were suddenly like two high-speed rotating windmills, flickering left and right, flipped up and down, the audience had never seen such dazzling stunts, and they suddenly cheered, whistling and screaming even made Wang Xiaohu on the stage feel harsh.
Just this dazzling opening nunchucks stunt has instantly touched the hearts of many female surnames, oh my God, what a windy action, those two nunchucks are like sticking to Wang Xiaohu's hands, flying up and down makes people fascinated, and some people even suspect that there is some mechanism in Wang Xiaohu's hand.
When the accompaniment entered **, Wang Xiaohu's nunchucks were already dancing impenetrable, he gradually slowed down, came to the microphone and sang "I didn't know what an idol Ma Yizha was before"
The audience began to boil, they sang loudly with Wang Xiaohu, when they began to sing, Wang Xiaohu danced nunchucks on stage, and even put on a few skillful movements in the film, causing the audience to roar, Wang Xiaohu was also completely crazy, he had fully invested in it, this concert atmosphere made him feel unprecedentedly excited, and even grabbed the microphone and sang loudly "Use nunchucks, hum haha, use nunchucks, hum haha!" ”
This is not the lyrics in "I Am Bruce Lee" at all, the audience suddenly fell silent, and the band looked at Wang Xiaohu at a loss, but Wang Xiaohu still sang to himself: "Use nunchucks, hum hahe, use nunchucks, hum haha!" ”
Gradually, everyone began to adapt, and they were pleased to find that these two simple lyrics were sung rhythmically with Wang Xiaohu, which was more imposing, so the audience also shouted frantically: "Use nunchucks, hum haha, use nunchucks, hum haha!" ”
"Use nunchucks, hum haha, use nunchucks, hah haha!"
The most dazzling, passionate and exciting concert in the 70s was opened by Wang Xiaohu
