231 The highlight of "The Warrior".
The idea of using basketball to kill more weapons is the inspiration that Wang Xiaohu got from the fighting game in his previous life - The King of Fighters 98, because every time the team he chooses meets the basketball man Lucky, he is always smashed by the large pile of basketballs thrown down from the sky by the opponent to the annihilation, he hates this basketball man from the bottom of his heart, so when he heard Bruce Lee say that Abdul-Jabbar was still busy with the NBA game, this inspiration suddenly filled his brain. [Full text reading]
And Abdul-Jabbar has an innate advantage when he uses basketball as a killing weapon, after all, this big guy was a bull in the NBA in the 70s, and he was selected into the NBA Best Team many times, becoming a national basketball star, known as "Tiangou". If you want to say that Abdul-Jabbar hasn't smashed anyone with a basketball, who will believe it?
"Two, in fact, this basketball is very simple as a weapon, that is, to use the rebound force to smash people, the greater the force you use, the greater its rebound force, and the force to hit others is also the same!" Wang Xiaohu patted the basketball with his right palm and said: "My idea is this, Tian Jun and Chen Xie Yuan will secretly run to the fourth floor when Brother Xiaolong and Yilu Shandu are fighting, and as soon as they climb up, they will be knocked to the ground by the oncoming sneak attack of the basketball, and Tian Jun's luck is better, and he successfully dodged two basketballs." ”
Wang Xiaohu said and gestured: "Oh, there will be a big sandbag in this place, and when Tian Jun dodged, the basketball happened to hit the sandbag, so the sandbag was exploded by the basketball and made a loud bang!" ”
"Wow!" Abdul-Jabbar's eyes suddenly lit up: "I didn't think basketball could be so useful!" ”
Bruce Lee couldn't control his excitement and said, "Brother, just listening to your dictation, I feel very visual, how many basketballs are you going to visit on the fourth floor?" ”
"Well, at least about 20!" Wang Xiaohu pondered for a moment and said, "I almost forgot!" Put a deck chair on the stairs up the fifth floor! Jabbar, you just lie here, don't get up when you stun Tian Jun and Chen Jieyuan! In this way, when the little dragon comes up, he will sensitively dodge the basketball you throw, and then stand up when you don't have the basketball in your hand, so that the height of the two will form a strong contrast! ”
Wang Xiaohu said with his mouth, while forming a martial arts action picture in his mind, in order to highlight the strong contrast and interesting surname of this fighting scene, he took great pains, just using basketball as a weapon to hit the effect of more than ten methods. After half a year of high-intensity running-in of four films, he is fully qualified for the role of martial arts instructor, so you can see how much effort a director has to put into the Hong Kong film industry and how many brain cells to seek innovation and breakthroughs.
"I can't wait!" Bruce Lee took off his shirt and changed into a yellow one-piece sweatshirt and said, "Man, what are you waiting for, let's rehearse now!" ”
“ok!” Wang Xiaohu snapped his fingers, then picked up the loudspeaker and shouted to the people at the base: "Brother Xin, Zhang Yuan, you two bring the basketball over, Tian Jun and Xie Yuan, you hurry up, I want to tell you about the scene, except for the members of the drama department, the other personnel don't watch the excitement, what should they do, if I see someone wandering here, be careful of your monthly exam results!" ”
As soon as the trainees heard this, they immediately dispersed obediently, although they also wanted to see how the idols filmed up close, and they also wanted to learn to increase their knowledge, but these are nothing compared to the monthly exam, because the monthly exam project of the primary training class is too difficult for them, not to mention anything else, you have to complete a certain action according to the question given by the examiner, or starring or supporting role or dragon set, even if it is an exam item that pretends to be a dead body, it requires more than one minute of breath holding! Not to mention that Hanging Weiya completes a few chic and elegant optional actions!
"Alright, everybody, come here!" Wang Xiaohu clapped his hands and said: "I'll talk about the specific requirements first, you should pay special attention to the Weiya group, you must listen to my password when Ravia, and the timing must be in place!" Abdul-Jabbar, don't use too much force in the basketball you throw, just like the usual rebound and pass force, otherwise you will hurt the three of them! Wang Xiaohu pointed to Bruce Lee, Tian Jun, and Chen Xie Yuan and said.
Abdul-Jabbar nodded, it was so easy for him that he couldn't be more relaxed. After Wang Xiaohu finished all the requirements, he arranged the first rehearsal, and saw basketballs flying around the court, and Wang Xiaohu's voice shouting "cut" changed from the initial anxiety to flat, even numb.
Basketball, a gadget that relies on rebound, is sometimes very disobedient, maybe Jabbar is a basketball player who is very easy to use, but it is a little difficult for Tian Jun and Chen Xie Yuan of street ball, it took about two hours for the two of them to perform Wang Xiaohu's actions in place.
When everyone was resting, Wang Xiaohu said to Bruce Lee: "Brother Xiaolong, when you rush to the fourth floor, you must first look down at the two companions lying on the ground, and then when you are puzzled by the basketball in the room, Abdul-Jabbar will smash a basketball, you have to use the flexible side slide step of Jeet Kune Do to dodge, and then inadvertently hide to the sandbags scattered all over the place, well, when the real shooting, I will add a close-up here." ”
"At first, you have a high success rate in dodging the basketball, but when Abdul-Jabbar slows down and is more accurate, you have to counter appropriately!" Wang Xiaohu said.
"How to fight back? I don't have any idea of this new thing! Bruce Lee touched his chin and frowned slightly and said, "This thing is all you came up with, you should have a way to crack it!" ”
"Okay!" Wang Xiaohu felt that his throat was about to smoke, he took a sip of water and said: "For example, use your inch fist to hit the incoming ball back, such as use your step side kick, such as use your signature to kick sideways, anything, you have three chances to bounce the basketball elsewhere, and the last basketball, I suggest you use the running to kick the basketball sideways, directly kick the basketball back to the direction of Abdul-Jabbar, and then Abdul-Jabbar will dodge from the recliner, and the recliner will also be divided into five horses!" ”
"Wonderful!" Bruce Lee clapped his hands and said excitedly: "This action is well designed!" ”
The reason why Bruce Lee said it was good was because he felt that it was in line with his surname and more in line with the characteristics of Jeet Kune Do.
After Wang Xiaohu saw that he had no objection, he nodded and said, "Okay, let's rehearse this scene!" Again: safety first! ”
After a while, the sound of basketball slapping was heard again in the base
After a whole day of tossing, the group returned home exhausted, and after a simple dinner, they gathered in Wang Xiaohu's study to discuss tomorrow's shooting plan.
"Tomorrow we will go to the Shaw Brothers Film and Television City in Clear Water Bay for official shooting, and what we need to do tonight is to familiarize ourselves with the script." Wang Xiaohu took the director Yue Zhi and said with a wry smile: "Actually, speaking of which, our film is the best, there are almost no dialogues, they are all fighting, how to fight is good-looking, how to fight with a breakthrough surname is victory!" ”
Bruce Lee also shrugged his shoulders and said with a wry smile: "Yes, I'm afraid this is the only movie in the world that doesn't have a heroine, and it's all fighting!" ”
"Hehe, this is your movie, Jeet Kune Do special series of movies, I think the audience will be more obsessed with your Jeet Kune Do after watching it!" Abdul-Jabbar interjected.
Bruce Lee nodded, raised his clenched right fist and said: "This is also an attempt, I don't have too many expectations for the box office of the film, I just hope to shoot my own style, pure kung fu film!" ”
In fact, Wang Xiaohu is based on this goal in completing the creation, from the script to the action design, to the complex background setting of each person, completely in accordance with Bruce Lee's intentions, plus the many fighting games he has played in his previous life, on the other hand, those game developers did not find inspiration from "Game of Death"? He's only borrowing part of it in a reasonable way.
"Billy, you come directly to my house tomorrow morning and try to get your scene filmed in one morning." Wang Xiaohu took the pen and drew a circle on the director Yue Zhi, and then said to Bruce Lee: "Billy has to go back to the martial arts gym for training, and he has a small competition in a week." ”
Bruce Lee said, "Well, shoot Billy's scene first." ”
The phone in the study rang at this moment, Wang Xiaohu grabbed the phone and asked, "Hello, who are you looking for?" ”
"Mr. Wang Xiaohu, I'm a pony from Shaw Brothers Taiwan Branch."
"Ah, hello Little Pony." Wang Xiaohu's eyebrows were raised, and he secretly said that the work efficiency of the Shao Brothers was really high, and it was just arranged to have results in less than three days.
But Manager Ma didn't give him good news: "Well, Mr. Wang, here's the thing, after receiving your request, we immediately launched an investigation, and when we arrived at Jinling Middle School, we found that the Miss Lin you were looking for had graduated, and she had signed a contract with the Eighties Film Company."
"I'm rubbing! Lin Qingxia was poached first!! Wang Xiaohu shouted loudly and depressedly on the phone, attracting the sideways glances of Bruce Lee and others.
"Who is Lin Qingxia?" Bruce Lee frowned.
"I don't know, it sounds like a woman's name." Billy Zhou made a fuss.
"Tiger's lover?" Jabbar blinked, and then looked at Wang Xiaohu's eyes, which already had a taste of being hard to find. (Lao Jia is also a romantic ghost, I don't know how many yellow flower girls I spoiled back then, cough cough.) "Yes, they seem to be preparing to make a novel by Qiong Yao, called "Outside the Window". Mr. Wang, I'm sorry, we didn't complete the task you gave us. Manager Ma said cautiously, after all, Run Run Shaw had specifically instructed him to handle this matter well, so he knew that it was still a step too late.
