529 Conquest of the Los Angeles Police (1)
Wang Xiaohu's visit to Los Angeles this time was really arranged, not only the three things he said, but he was also invited by the famous New York TV show: today-show to participate in a live interview show, which is probably about the same type as a talk show. [Full text reading]
In fact, Wang Xiaohu himself doesn't like to be on TV, when he was in Hong Kong, TVB's "Art Life" program sent him many invitations, but he smiled and politely refused, and finally even hooked up with Deborah Xie Xian personally invited him, Wang Xiaohu reluctantly agreed to wait until he had time to go, God knows when Wang Xiaohu will have time.
So at first, Wang Xiaohu didn't agree to be on the Today-Show, but Winter Dour persuaded him with good words: "Boss, you should be on this show, you must know that you are the first Oriental to be invited, you have contributed so many wonderful movies to Hollywood over the years, don't you want to make the company's influence in the United States more extensive, go ahead, it's definitely a good opportunity to increase publicity." ”
In the end, Wang Xiaohu agreed, "All for the company!" ”
Early the next morning, Wang Xiaohu and Jackie Chan got into the car invited by the senior Los Angeles police. Tosca drove the car himself, which made Wang Xiaohu very face-saving.
"Tiger, your "Police Story" is amazing, we police officers in Los Angeles love to watch it!" Raymond talked eloquently while driving the car: "And Jack, we haven't figured out yet, how did you jump from such a high building, is it a miracle?" ”
Jackie Chan's English is not very good, he can only understand a small part, or Wang Xiaohu helped him translate it to understand, he shook his head and spoke in broken English for a long time, which made Raymond have a big headache when he listened.
"He said it wasn't a miracle and that you could jump if you had the courage to do it, and that there was no protection." Seeing this, Wang Xiaohu helped him translate, which made Raymond call God in surprise.
Wang Xiaohu turned his head to look at the depressed Jackie Chan, patted him on the shoulder and encouraged: "This time, I finally understand my intention to let you make up for English in the first place, right?" ”
Jackie Chan nodded and whispered: "I hate less when I use books, and after I return to Hong Kong, I will hire an English teacher to teach me, so as not to be so deflated next time I come to the United States." ”
"Hehe, it's good to know. Our brothers should have a long-term vision, and we should not just develop in a small place in Hong Kong. Wang Xiaohu pointed to the hurried Americans outside the car window and said: "See, Brother Xiaolong conquered them with his fists back then, and now, we will also conquer them with our fists." ”
Jackie Chan listened to the blood boiling, Wang Xiaohu had never said these words to the brothers of Qixiaofu, Jackie Chan did not expect Ah Hu to have such great ambitions, in addition to admiration, there was also gratitude, he was grateful to Ah Hu for helping him so much.
Many years later, when Jackie Chan spoke fluent English, he said with emotion: "When I went to the United States, I was embarrassed, and one day Ah Hu went out to work, I was pressing the road on the street, and suddenly many fans rushed over and screamed Jack. Chen, they asked me for an autograph, but my handwriting was so ugly, and I couldn't understand what they were saying, so I managed to deal with the fans, but I got lost, and finally a Chinese brother helped me find my way back, and I vowed to learn English well. ”
"In fact, it is very easy to make these foreigners accept us, the easiest way is to use high-quality kung fu movies, Xiaolong brother punches to the flesh, and knocks down a bad guy with one punch, we can learn from it but can't imitate it all, we can only use our own styles to open up the Hollywood market." Wang Xiaohu continues to instill these ideas in Jackie Chan, and at the same time, he also finds someone to confide in the ambitions that have been squeezed in his heart for many years.
"Do you know why Police Story is so popular in the United States?"
Jackie Chan shook his head and said, "I don't know." ”
"Hehe, there are two key factors." Wang Xiaohu stretched out his index finger and said: "The first point is that your movements are very thrilling, and the foreigners are dumbfounded, they have never seen it." ”
"The second point is that the American individual heroism is full of flavor, although your fists are not as sharp as Brother Xiaolong, but the spirit shown is not much different from what Americans worship in their bones, which is a perfect combination of Hong Kong regional culture and the popular American film model."
Jackie Chan wondered why "Police Story" was popular in the United States, but today it dawned on Wang Xiaohu when he heard such a detailed explanation.
"No wonder you didn't approve of me filming "Senior Brother Out of the Horse" that day, it seems that my route was really wrong." Jackie Chan scratched his head and said with some embarrassment.
"Haha, it's okay, you can slowly understand these things, even if you are a professional police officer, you should let Chen Jiaju come out of Hong Kong and be in line with international standards."
Wang Xiaohu's words today contain a lot of meanings, on the one hand, it is to remind Jackie Chan of the mode of future development of the police story, and on the other hand, it is to let Jackie Chan not get carried away because of the Hong Kong box office results, after all, the stage of the movie is still very big, and it is not enough to conquer Hong Kong, as well as Hollywood, the mainland, and the book.
These are the words that Wang Xiaohu has buried in his heart for a long time. Now that Jackie Chan has laid the foundation for soaring into the sky, he should be allowed to fly completely, and with one more person to help, Wang Xiaohu's burden will be lighter.
At the Los Angeles Police Headquarters, Wang Xiaohu and Jackie Chan were warmly welcomed, and as soon as they came out of the car, dozens of neatly lined up American police officers saluted in front of them, and the scene reminded Wang Xiaohu of a military parade, and the pride in his heart was self-evident.
"Tiger, welcome to the Los Angeles Police Department." Raymond said loudly, and as soon as the words fell, several senior policemen surrounded him, and even an enthusiastic blonde policewoman gave a flying kiss, and the scene was extremely hot.
The enthusiastic and outgoing Americans hugged Jackie Chan, but Wang Xiaohu waved his hand to say that he didn't need to say hello like this. The big Yanma who gave the flying kiss just now thought about it after hearing it, and suddenly rushed over and hugged Wang Xiaohu firmly, kissed Wang Xiaohu twice on the face, and then said with a smile amid applause and whistles: "I think what you need is this." ”
"That's right, thank you for the hug, you're so welcoming!" Wang Xiaohu couldn't smile bitterly, this was the first time he was hugged by a blonde beauty.
"Lisa, how did you come up with that?" Raymond asked, puzzled.
Lisa, the blonde policewoman's name, shrugged and said, "I'm a fan of Tiger, I've collected a lot of information about him, and of course I know that he doesn't like hugging men anymore." ”
"Haha, I see!"
Lisa continued: "I remember that the Los Angeles Journal reported that Lucas and Spielberg had injured their noses for several days, and it was suspected that they were being besieged by gangsters, and when I interviewed them, they said that the boss had beaten them."
"Oh God, that's a strange habit!" Raymond let out a strange laugh, the other policemen echoed loudly, and Wang Xiaohu also smiled, he didn't feel anything to be ashamed of, shrugged his shoulders to show his innocence. "I didn't expect Lisa to know all about my habits."
"Of course, I'm your fan!" Lisa said as a matter of course.
The group walked into the police station with a smile, and the welcome ceremony entered the next link, mainly Raymond on behalf of the Los Angeles police after saying a lot of praise, to Wang Xiaohu and Jackie Chan respectively sent a "honorary police hat" regarded as the highest honor by American police officers, praising the good shooting of "Police Story", and the police image created by Jackie Chan not only reflects the wisdom and courage of the Hong Kong police, but also makes the American counterparts feel bright.
In the words of Sergeant Raymond: "We see the embodiment of justice in the Hong Kong police. ”
Wang Xiaohu hurriedly took the police hat and politely said some words of thanks, which can be so highly appreciated by the American police, it seems that this trip to the United States is worth the trip.
"Tiger, we also have a lot of small shows for you, do you want to watch them together?" Sergeant Raymond asked with a smile.
"Of course, why not!" Wang Xiaohu spread his hands and said, "It should be very exciting." ”
"Absolutely wonderful!" Raymond took the lead and said while leading the way: "Some police officers in our headquarters felt not very convinced after watching the movie, so they arranged some small programs to learn the real skills of the Hong Kong police. ”
"Huh?" Wang Xiaohu frowned suddenly, and began to greet Raymond's eighth ancestor in his heart, he just felt that the enthusiasm of these Yankees was a little too much, and he didn't expect that there were still tricks waiting for him.
Needless to say, if Los Angeles makes such a request, there must be some small program arrangements in San Francisco. However, since people have put it forward, Wang Xiaohu has to pay special attention to it, after all, this not only represents the Hong Kong police, but also represents the competition between China and the United States.
It's just that this hat is a little too big, and Wang Xiaohu has no way to refuse if he wants to.
"I'm glad you guys can arrange these wonderful shows, Sergeant Raymond, please lead the way." Wang Xiaohu said with a confident smile on his face.
"Please follow me!" Sheriff Raymond said excitedly.
The group then walked towards the big building behind the headquarters, and just walked into the corridor of the building, Wang Xiaohu vaguely heard the sound of gunshots, and said secretly in his heart: These dog-called Yankees won't want to test their marksmanship with Lao Tzu, right? That's really a tragedy, I can't play with guns!
Sure enough, Raymond pushed open one of the doors, and just now he felt that the gunshots were very small, and as soon as he opened the door, Wang Xiaohu's ears buzzed, not to mention the smell of gunpowder smoke that he smelled when he walked into the room.
"Bang bang" gunshots came one after another, and several American policemen in the field were shooting at targets not far away
