At this time, Mulan is not a hero, she is an ordinary girl, the first time she stood on the battlefield to kill people with her own hands, she would hesitate and be helpless, especially when the blood of General Rouran sprayed on her handsome and heroic face, her pupils were wide open, and the look of fear and wanting to escape was about to come out. [No pop-up novel network]

Hua Mulan raised her head and looked blankly at the boot camp full of corpses and injured companions, a month ago, everyone was still talking and laughing, although they laughed at themselves for being a bit of a sissy, walking, talking and even eating like a girl, although they also deliberately made themselves sad, although she was reprimanded many times by the battalion commander and deputy battalion commander for every weight-bearing exercise, but some people had died in battle, and some people were lying on the ground wailing.

Lin Qingxia's eyes in the camera were full of confusion, she threw away the long sword in her hand, ignoring Stephen Chow, who rushed over excitedly, shouting: "Sister Mulan, we are still alive, we are still alive", she suddenly lay on the ground and retched, but she couldn't vomit, so she had to gasp for breath to vent the fear in her heart.

The cheering soldiers all looked at her in amazement, admiration, sympathy, and incomprehension

It can be said that Lin Qingxia's performance is very good now, and even a fastidious director like Wang Xiaohu admires her superb and in-place acting skills, after shouting "OK", Wang Xiaohu ran to the top of the mountain, looked at Lin Qingxia, who was a little pale, and said: "Qingxia, you won't really vomit, right?" ”

Lin Qingxia frowned, her eyebrows whitened at him, and she stroked her chest and kept panting.

Wang Xiaohu smiled, raised his hand to scrape the coagulated blood from her face, put it in his mouth and licked it, and said, "This is made of Chuanbei loquat ointment, it is very sweet!" ”

"Grope~" Lin Qingxia tilted her head and really vomited.

Zhao Yazhi, who rushed over, slapped Wang Xiaohu angrily and said, "Why are you like this, you know that Qingxia is about to vomit, and you want to add fuel to the fire!" After that, he quickly handed over the water and towel, and carefully wiped it for Lin Qingxia.

Wang Xiaohu shrugged innocently and said, "Seeing that she endured it strangely and uncomfortably, it should be easier after spitting it out." ”

"You have a crooked reason every time!" Zhao Yazhi snorted, and after Lin Qingxia drank the water, she shook her head and said, "I feel that Ah Hu is right, it is indeed a lot easier to spit it out." ”

"Oh, look, I didn't trick Qingxia." Wang Xiaohu said innocently.

"Let's go, ignore this madman, let's go shopping in the afternoon to change our mood." Zhao Yazhi helped Lin Qingxia up, ignored Wang Xiaohu's explanation, and went to the dressing room to change his costume.

"Brother Tiger, Sister Qingxia is gone, can we still shoot?" Zhang Yuan ran over with a bunch of arrows and asked.

Wang Xiaohu pursed his lips, looked at everyone's tired eyes, showed his big white teeth and said with a smile: "Okay, everyone has been busy for ten days, let's take a holiday and rest this afternoon." ”

The crowd cheered and shouted, "Brother Tiger is wise." "Cleaning up the battlefield is more diligent

Throughout the past versions of "Mulan", whether it is Hong Kong or the mainland, it reflects a strong "equality between men and women", especially Chang Xiangyu's poem "Who says that women are inferior to men" discusses the value of female surnames from the perspective of the division of labor in social surnames, and clearly plays the banner of "equality between men and women", which is a high affirmation of the status and value of female surnames.

Even if Uncle Sam's cartoon is sandwiched with the flavor of American culture, after all, through Mulan's success, people show the struggle process of a female surname from a dependent position to the freedom of reading, which is not only limited to the struggle for the status of "equality between men and women", but also the confirmation of the female surname's own identity, value and meaning.

In this regard, Wang Xiaohu agrees very much, but the 2009 version of "Mulan" is a little embarrassing in terms of conveying the consciousness of female surnames. In order to surpass the image of the previous heroine "double surname" or "middle surname", the film portrays Mulan into an image with female surnames, she hates war, blood and killing, and always reveals the sensitivity and fragility of the female surname, and is easy to be emotional.

The film also gives Mulan more "affection", which includes filial piety to her father, love for her brother, and love for her "confidant". Although these female surname characteristics can create a beautiful female surname image of Mulan from a moral and emotional perspective, they constitute a dissolution and resistance to her heroic identity.

In order to resolve this contradiction, the film positions Mulan as a growing heroine with a female surname, Wang Xiaohu has no objection to this, but let the male hero around Mulan assume the function of guiding her, but this design makes the female surname return to the dependent position of the male surname, which is undoubtedly a regression in the transmission of the consciousness of the female surname.

In the face of such doubts, the 09 version of "Mulan" adopted another method to explain: "Our film conveys anti-war!" ”

However, Wang Xiaohu believes that war certainly has its cruel side, but it should also have its reasonable side, and there should be a distinction between justice and injustice.

The key to whether a war is justified lies in whether it is just. A just war destroys the forces of evil and gives the people a happy life; Unjust wars are waged by rulers for their own personal gain, and only bring suffering and misery to the people.

Anti-war films reveal the cruelty and evil of unjust wars, and their criticism is directed at unjust wars, not just wars.

In just wars, there has been no shortage of warriors who sacrificed their lives for the sake of peace and ideals since ancient times, and these heroes are the objects of praise and praise in literature and film and television art.

This is the "anti-war" idea that Wang Xiaohu demands, not the kind of cruel surname that repeatedly exaggerates this just war and highlights the anti-war theme.

Moreover, Wang Xiaohu also compressed the desolate pictures and many crying scenes deliberately created in the 09 version, so that the plot closely revolves around the fresh and bright style in "Mulan Ci".

As for the kind of pathos and anti-war thoughts, it is expressed through the military cards that appear in the film, Mulan's thoughts about her father in the early days, and the longing of several recruits for life after the war.

"Full of pride, a little pathetic." This is what Wang Xiaohu thinks is the most perfect image of Mulan, under such a directing idea, the crew has been busy for half a month, and when November comes, "Mulan" has completed 60% of the filming according to Wang Xiaohu's plan.

"Zhang Yuan, has the location of the restaurant in the film and television city been decided?" When packing up the equipment, Wang Xiaohu said to Zhang Yuan.

"Brother Hu, it's all done, the open space on the fifth floor has been all taken over by us, and the two pots, red wine, champagne, soda and so on are also ready to be in place, just waiting for us to kill them." Zhang Yuan rubbed his hands and said.

Wang Xiaohu nodded, picked up the directing microphone and said to everyone who was still busy: "Brothers, speed up the progress, gather on the fifth floor of the restaurant after cleaning up, and congratulate our crew on completing two-thirds of the shooting." ”

Intense shooting at start-up, crazy relaxation when free, the big guys enjoy the fun of shooting movies with Wang Xiaohu very much, because you can not only get a higher salary than other crews, but also learn a lot of knowledge, and even meet more friends

Everyone rushed to the largest "Zichen Restaurant" in Concord Film and Television City, just by listening to the name, they knew that this was a restaurant opened by the Long family, and it was also Long Yatou Reading Power who invested in opening a film industry in the film and television city.

Speaking of which, Long Zichen doesn't seem to invest a lot of energy in Lifeng Records, but is very interested in running the catering industry, for example, the restaurant on the top of the Taiping Peak is from her handwriting, and the same is true of this "Zichen Restaurant", the decoration of the restaurant echoes the film and television city, and walking here is basically a dynasty of Hong Kong movies.

From the first Hong Kong movie "Zhuangzi Tries a Wife" to the recent "Shaolin Temple", you can see exquisite posters, except for the food stalls on the first floor for dragon and tiger martial artists and extras, from the second floor to the fourth floor, each room is named after the movie, this trick was learned from the "Bruce Lee Restaurant" run by Wang Xiaohu in his early years. It's just that Long Zichen is more courageous than Wang Xiaohu on the scene.

Dozens of staff members of the "Mulan" crew have already arrived at the open-air restaurant on the roof, Lin Qingxia, Zhao Yazhi, Chow Yun-fat, Qin Pei, Stephen Chow, Xiong Xinxin, Weng Meiling, Yu Rongguang and others are waiting for Wang Xiaohu to give a speech.

But after waiting for a long time, I still didn't see Wang Xiaohu.

"Ah Zhi, do you know what Ah Hu is going to do?" Lin Qingxia asked in a low voice.

Zhao Yazhi said: "He was called out by Zhao Gang just now, maybe there is something important to deal with, I don't think it will be able to deal with it for a while, let's start first." ”

"Isn't that good?" Lin Qingxia said.

"Hehe, what's wrong." Zhao Yazhi said with a smile: "Anyway, I can be half of the Concord Company, I said to start at the beginning." ”

As for Wang Xiaohu himself, he and Zhao Gang took a taxi to their home.

In the car, Wang Xiaohu frowned and said, "Did President Liang really say that just now?" ”

Zhao Gang nodded vigorously and said, "Well, that's the case." ”

"It can't be that he can't grab Jie Zai and deliberately lies, right?" Wang Xiaohu still didn't believe it.

Zhao Gang smiled bitterly: "Impossible, I still know a little bit about Lao Liang, and I won't do such a small thing." ”

Just fifteen minutes ago, Wang Xiaohu and Zhao Gang walked to the door of the "Zichen Restaurant", and a staff member who claimed to be the Hong Kong branch of the Xinhua News Agency stopped Zhao Gang and whispered a few words in his ear, and then Zhao Gang said to Wang Xiaohu anxiously: "There is an accident on the mainland, it is the crew of "North and South Shaolin"!" ”

It turned out that after the official start of "Mulan", Liu Jialiang also took the recovered Jet Li to the mainland to shoot "North and South Shaolin", after the crew finished filming from Songshan Shaolin Temple, they moved to South Shaolin, Fujian Province for filming, during a filming, I don't know why, Jet Li and Liu Jialiang quarreled, and the two sides even fought, the situation was very tense, and the crew was forced to shut down.

The mainland side saw that the matter could not be handled, so it had no choice but to contact the Hong Kong side and call Wang Xiaohu's home, but the special line was arranged in Wang Xiaohu's study, and Aunt Xiang and the security guard A Baoping said that they were not qualified to enter the study.

So the Ministry of Culture tried every means to contact the director of the Hong Kong branch of the Xinhua News Agency, Liang, and asked him to help find Zhao Gang and Wang Xiaohu.

At the beginning, Wang Xiaohu also thought that President Liang and Zhang Xinyan deliberately fabricated questions to frame Liu Jialiang and others because they couldn't grab Jet Li to shoot "Dragon Phoenix Village", after all, Wang Xiaohu rejected them mercilessly.

But after seeing Zhao Gang's serious expression, Wang Xiaohu began to realize that things are not so complicated, maybe the problem is really in the crew of "North and South Shaolin", as for why the two sides quarreled and even developed to the point of hands, Wang Xiaohu is not clear, but feels that the problem is a little tricky.

After arriving at home, Aunt Xiang and Ah Bao were just about to say something, but Wang Xiaohu said while quickly going upstairs: "I know everything." ”

After opening the door of the study, Wang Xiaohu took a few deep breaths to calm his breath, and when he saw Zhao Gang lighting a cigarette, he frowned and said, "There are important things in my study, and I can't see fireworks." ”

Zhao Gang saw that his expression was extremely solemn, and then looked at the manuscripts in the study except for a large number of books, pouted and put the lighter in his pocket, nodded with a cigarette, and was more obedient to Wang Xiaohu's rules, he knew that the books or manuscripts in the study were treasures to Wang Xiaohu.

After dialing the phone of the Ministry of Culture, Minister Huang on the other end breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Wang Xiaohu's voice: "Oh, Mr. Wang, I finally got in touch with you!" ”

"I'm sorry, the current communication equipment is not very developed, I will buy a batch of portable phones in the United States in the near future." Wang Xiaohu apologized first, and then said: "What happened to the crew of "North and South Shaolin"? ”

Minister Huang said: "I can't figure this out either, so let Jet Li tell you, he's by my side." ”

After Jet Li took the phone, the first sentence was: "Master, I listen to you very much, I have been patient enough, but a lot of things did happen during the filming, full of many complicated struggles, I really can't help it!" ”

"It's not hurt, is it?" Wang Xiaohu asked, and after hearing Jet Li say that it was okay, he nodded: "Say it slowly." ”

Jet Li snorted and began to tell the ins and outs of the matter.

Before Jet Li's statement, it is necessary to explain the crew of "North and South Shaolin", first of all, this film is a co-production between Hong Kong and the mainland, and the actors used in the crew are all the original cast of "Shaolin Temple" (except for Xiong Xinxin), and the staff is Liu Jialiang's own team brought over, and there are no personnel from any film company in the mainland to accompany them.

The film was surprisingly smooth at the beginning of the shooting, Liu Jialiang found that he didn't need too many tricks by himself, these athletes were able to create very real and ornamental movements by themselves, it is said that he should be satisfied, the problem is that he feels that this fighting style is no different from "Shaolin Temple", and the audience will say when they see it: Oh, this movie is not interesting.

Lau Kar-leung is a well-known action director in the Hong Kong film industry, and he didn't want the obvious "Wang Xiaohu label" to appear in his films, so he re-tricked the athletes and asked them to shoot according to the actions he designed.

Hu Jianqiang, Yu Hai, Yu Chenghui, Ji Chunhua and others are also reasonable, after all, they will fight whatever the director asks them to do, they just rely on their kung fu to eat, and it is already very face-saving for the director to invite him to film, not to mention that the relationship between Director Liu and Brother Hu is also good.

But after the filming of Songshan was completed, Yu Hai and others began to find a problem, they are also Hong Kong directors, and the treatment of Director Liu and Brother Hu is completely two concepts!

When filming "Shaolin Temple", Wang Xiaohu not only paid the sports teams, but also gave everyone some salaries, which were paid according to the standards of Hong Kong actors, and if they worked overtime during filming, they would also get a lot of overtime pay.

In addition to Jet Li, the salaries of Yu Hai, Hu Jianqiang, Ji Chunhua and others are two yuan a day, such a huge gap is unacceptable to the athletes!

So after completing the shooting plan in North Shaolin, many athletes had the idea of not wanting to continue filming, Jet Li went to Liu Jialiang Theory on behalf of everyone and asked why this happened.

Liu Jialiang said confidently: "These are written in detail in the contract, and the heads of their sports teams did not make such unreasonable demands when they signed the contract!" ”

"But that's not the case when my master was shooting!" Jet Li said: "We all receive salaries according to the standards of Hong Kong actors! ”

Liu Jialiang frowned, pulled Jet Li aside and said, "Jie Zai, you are Ah Hu's apprentice, you are half a Hong Kong person, don't you know that you want to save costs for shooting?" ”

"Then you can't do that to everyone." Jet Li said dissatisfiedly: "If this continues, everyone will be dissatisfied, which will affect the filming progress, what if they go on strike!" ”

"I don't care anyway, it's clearly written in the contract, if they strike, I'll ask their leaders to get them back the money and compensate me for my losses!"

So Jet Li came back in disgrace and told everyone the results of the negotiation, and everyone was furious when they heard it.

"They earn 150,000 yuan a month, and even extras who play dead bodies on the set without even a trace of footage are 50 yuan a day! But they only give us 2 yuan a day, and in fact, when they don't do anything, we carry the heaviest and most tired words, why! Ji Chunhua said angrily on the spot, and several other athletes echoed him.

"is also a Hong Kong director, why is the gap so big, look at how righteous Brother Tiger is, and then look at this authentic Huang Feihong's heir, damn, there is no more slamming than him!" As soon as Hu Jianqiang's depressed costume was thrown away, he was about to leave.

Yu Hai and Yu Chenghui hurriedly went up to stop him and said, "Don't make trouble with your opinions, otherwise our martial arts teams will have a lawsuit!" ”
