Wang Xiaohu finally let Li Shaonan stay at home, because he didn't want to see Yuan Biao in a dilemma, he knew that the reason why Yuan Biao helped Li Shaonan was largely sympathetic, and he also felt that this child was more worthy of sympathy, that kind of perseverance and unrelenting momentum barely moved Wang Xiaohu, but he did not accept Li Shaonan as an apprentice, but directly kicked into the ranks of temporary employees of Concord Company, and wanted to learn to write scripts, okay, first give Lao Tzu a few years of free work.

Some people may feel that Wang Xiaohu is so unkind, but in fact, as a filmmaker, you must first endure loneliness, maybe you may be hidden in the snow for a long time, maybe you may not be successful in several films, but you must first have perseverance, otherwise you will retreat when you are almost successful, and all your efforts will be in vain. He also did this to observe Li Shaonan's conduct, different from accepting Stephen Chow as an apprentice, he knows what Stephen Chow will look like in the future, and Wang Xiaohu has always kept a distance from people like Li Shaonan who don't know.

Even so, Li Shaonan was already grateful, and he couldn't wait to kowtow to Wang Xiaohu to thank him, but he was frightened back by Wang Xiaohu's words of "kowtow and get out", and he finally knew that this great god in the screenwriting industry was so strong.

Wang Xiaohu still goes to the set every day to be busy during the day, how to say that he is also the martial arts instructor and screenwriter of "Raptors Across the River", and his obligations still have to be done, help see the editing effect, listen to whether the background music is appropriate, find out if there are any goofs in the film, not to mention, after he carefully searched, he really found a few goofs.

The first goofs scene is: Tang Long performs Chinese kung fu to several guys in the hotel, and when everyone wears protective gear, pay attention to the order of the boxes. When everyone put on protective gear and Tang Long was about to perform, the order of the boxes in the back was completely different from just now.

The second goof is that when everyone is discussing Tang Long's kung fu tricks, the second row of Tang Long's clothes is open. Immediately after everyone was still discussing, his second breasted button became fastened.

The third place is more obvious: Tang Long was forcibly taken away by the gangsters, and when the gangster came out to explore the way, there was a stick standing next to the box against the wall. When Tang Long came out, there was an extra stick on the steps.

After watching it three times, Bruce Lee admitted that he didn't pay attention at the time, and praised Wang Xiaohu for being so careful, "Xiaohu, I really want to thank you, you taught me another lesson." ”

Wang Xiaohu shook his head and said: "These are small places, you must know that everyone will always keep an eye on you when watching your movie, and other things will be ignored." ”

"No, I'm a perfectionist, and I'd rather not do it if it's not the best." Bruce Lee shook his index finger, thinking that he should not have committed such a misalignment.

The two watched the sample film a few more times, although "Raptors Across the River" was still directed and starred by Bruce Lee, but because they joined, this film has changed from their memories in many ways, the most obvious is the change in martial arts fighting style.

In view of the successful cases of "Jingwumen", the new version of "Raptors Crossing the River" has strengthened the actions of supporting roles and dragon sets, and it is no longer the kind of slow and powerless performance, the Western boxing of the six foreigners who came to the hotel to find trouble is very sharp this time, and the dull and clumsy movements no longer exist, with these foils, Bruce Lee's Jeet Kune Do style is more prominent.

Wang Xiaohu can now unceremoniously say to the world that with his help, Bruce Lee's movies have undergone subtle changes, not only in terms of action, but also in the plot, which is gradually getting closer to the classics in Wang Xiaohu's mind. In his film world, the best kung fu film should be a simple and logical story, which should stand up to the audience's scrutiny, and the action should be stylized, using real and strong body language to tell the story, and show the concept, didn't Lao Tzu say a sentence "The sound is loud, the elephant is invisible", and the movies suitable for Bruce Lee's style are only the simplest and most direct, just like his Jeet Kune Do.

Go to the restaurant every day to sit and enjoy the fragrant tea sent by the super waiter Chow Run, which has gradually become one of Wang Xiaohu's hobbies, I don't know why, he now likes to see Chow Yun-fat cautious in front of him.

The young fat boy is also very conscientious during this time, completely remembering what Boss Wang said, and really regards every customer as God, serving tea and pouring water, memorizing menus, and charging that is familiar with the road, and even because of the service attitude to make customers very satisfied, many times by the customer's verbal praise.

Wang Xiaohu secretly looked at all of this, he just wanted to hone Brother Xiaoma's perseverance, only in this way could Brother Xiaoma meet the requirements in his heart. When he was free, he said to Yuanmei: "Do everything you can to keep the hair boy, if you hear that he wants to change jobs, the reporter will notify me as soon as possible." ”

There is Wing Chun general Wong Chun Leung personally instructed, Wang Xiaohu's Wing Chun skills have improved rapidly, in the past few days he has mastered the eight chopping routines, and has begun to try to integrate the strength of Wing Chun, don't look at the eight chopping knife practice seems to be slow and has no strength, in fact, there is an implied Wing Chun inch strength. It's like tai chi fighting is weak and weak, but if you fight in real life, you can really fly step by step.

The six-and-a-half stick and the eight-and-a-half knife are both unique weapons in the Wing Chun Gate, which are mainly attacked, as the boxing classic says: "One inch long, one inch strong." "Compared to the ranged attack of the six-and-a-half stick, the Eight Slash is more inclined to a melee strike. Wing Chun Gate's eight chopping knives have been turned into butterfly knives or gassho knives by outsiders, as the name suggests, there are two guards at the handles of the double knives in the hand, of course, Wang Xiaohu didn't think so, didn't Donnie Yen play the two machetes in "Ip Man 2"? Aren't we also slashing with two kitchen knives, so whether the weapon is powerful or not has little to do with the weapon itself, it depends on who is the person holding the weapon.

With the increase in the time of teaching Wang Xiaohu, Huang Chunliang also let go of the burden in his heart, who made Wang Xiaohu show a high talent in martial arts, he sometimes wondered if Wang Xiaohu learned Wing Chun kung fu from Bruce Lee, after all, in recent years, Bruce Lee has been teaching his Jeet Kune Do, not Wing Chun.

It took Wang Xiaohu three nights to learn the eight chopping knives, and then he entered the learning stage of the 108-style wooden pile method. There are many traditional martial arts schools in China that use wooden stakes to practice, and the shape of wooden stakes and practice methods are also very different, and the training methods can be said to have their own merits. However, Wing Chun can be said to be the most complete school of wooden pile training, its shape and structure is extremely scientific and rigorous, its imitation of the shape of human limbs and the establishment of Wing Chun wooden piles, flexible pile hands and protruding stake feet can give people a strong sense of fighting realism in training.

Wing Chun wooden pile a total of 108 types (also said 116 style), divided into five sections, Bruce Lee only learned the first two paragraphs after began to break into Hong Kong famous, due to the conduct and the need to go to the United States, the next set has never been learned, but when he asked Ip Man for the exercises, immediately on the basis of the upper set of wooden pile method extended his own Lee Jeet Kune Do 15 sets of wooden pile method, at the same time in the shape of the wooden pile, combined with the then unloading manufacturing and Li Xu's principle was transformed, It can be regarded as a kind of revenge for Ip Man's refusal to teach boxing.

"Xiaohu, the wooden pile method in the last three sections is more cumbersome, I hope you practice it carefully." After Huang Chunliang finished speaking, he rolled up his sleeves to reveal his strong forearms, and waved his hands like lightning after posing for the two-word clamps, and every time he completed a movement, he would shout a name.

"Neck climbing hand", "right hand", "spread hand and left palm strike" heard a loud noise in the backyard, and the wooden stake seemed to be trembling by Huang Chunliang's huge power, which made Wang Xiaohu an eye-opener.

At the same time, he found that Wong Chun-leung's method of beating wooden piles was very different from Bruce Lee, Wong Chun-leung's movements were in a decent Wing Chun style, while Bruce Lee advocated a more free style, the latter was more simple and easy-going than the former, and removed many of the movements that Bruce Lee thought were cumbersome and unnecessary, making it faster and more powerful.

This is not to say that Wang Xiaohu does not put the martial arts of Wing Chun in his eyes, he is no longer the age when the master teaches and learns what he did, he prefers to completely absorb the other party's moves and routines, and then think about it and turn it into his own thing, which is probably due to the influence of Bruce Lee, for example, he recently learned from Huang Chunliang, the king of Hong Kong speakers, and practiced with pure Wing Chun boxing, Wang Xiaohu only had the share of abuse, but he mixed Muay Thai, Gracie Jiu-Jitsu and other characteristics, For a while, it also made Huang Chunliang scramble, and he was almost knocked down by Wang Xiaohu several times and lost face.

Wang Xiaohu first watched Huang Chunliang's demonstration completely, and then he began to practice in front of the wooden stake next to him, Huang Chunliang corrected hand-in-hand on the side, on the first night, Wang Xiaohu only remembered the third paragraph, although the progress was a little slow, but it was better for him to completely memorize and master it proficiently.

Every time he left, he still went to ask Ip Man to say goodbye, and today Ip Man's spirit was better than ever, he called Wang Xiaohu to his side and asked softly, "How are you learning today?" Wang Xiaohu replied truthfully: "It's a little slow, I'm afraid that I will miss the action." Ip Man nodded and said: "Wing Chun is a slow work and meticulous work, and the wooden pile method is even more" It is rare for Ip Man to spend so long telling Wang Xiaohu about the origin of Wing Chun, although there are some things Wang Xiaohu already knows, but he still listens to Ip Man's narration very carefully, through Ip Man's dictation, his mind seems to show all kinds of Ip Man's learning boxing.

Before leaving, Ip Man said with emotion: "The spread of my Wing Chun in Hong Kong is thanks to Chun Leung and Xiao Long, and now there are more of you, which makes me very happy, and I hope you will make more movies about Wing Chun in the future and make some contributions to the spread of Wing Chun." ”

Wang Xiaohu's heart moved, and as soon as he stood up, he immediately sat down, grabbed Ye Man's hand and said, "Master, the apprentice has a reluctant request, and I hope that your old man will be fulfilled." ”

"Oh?" Ye Man smiled, "Let's hear it." ”

"Master, I want to shoot a biography of your old man, and the name is "Ip Man"." Wang Xiaohu took advantage of Ip Man's happiness to say these words that had been buried in his heart for a long time.

The smile on Ye Man's face became even stronger after hearing this, and he laughed and said: "Why did you think of filming me, you should go and shoot Xiaolong or Chunliang, I am a bad old man, what is there to shoot, no, no." ”

"Master, if you didn't come to Hong Kong to teach boxing, they may not have today's achievements, in the final analysis, it is your old man who is selfless, since you just said that you want to make a Wing Chun movie, the disciple Sun pondered for a long time that only making your movie of the same name has appeal."

"Hehe, little ghost." Ye Man knocked on Wang Xiaohu's forehead and said, "Let me think about these things, can I give you another answer?" ”

"Well, Master, next time the apprentice comes, he will definitely bring the script over for you to look at." Wang Xiaohu said excitedly, he could hear the ingredients in the center of Ip Man's words.

After bidding farewell to Ip Man, Wang Xiaohu quickly took a taxi and returned home, ran into the study as fast as he could, spread out the paper and pencil and entered the creation. Because through a conversation with Ip Man, he bloomed with an unprecedented creative passion, yes, he used to think that it was not the time to shoot "Ip Man", because Ip Man has not passed away, his deeds are widely known by Hong Kong people, and rash filming will lead to some criticism, but now it is different, Ip Man's conversation makes him feel that these obstacles are not a problem.

The biggest premise is to obtain the approval of Ip Man himself, and if Ip Man himself dictates, it will also make him feel very real, and the plot filmed will not be distorted, and he will be criticized by the Reasonable Party. As for the action, it is even simpler, the current Wing Chun Gate has not been divided, and batches of Wing Chun warriors can still be caught as actors.

The script is ready-made, the framework is stored in Wang Xiaohu's mind, and now the biggest headache for him is Ip Man's actor problem, the most successful actor of Ip Man in his previous life is Donnie Yen, the middle-aged Donnie Yen won many awards in one fell swoop with "Ip Man", and was become the successor of the king of Chinese kung fu by the outside world, not to mention the money he earned, and he also enjoys a high reputation in the world, and the salary for a single game has reached an astonishing amount of 30 million.

And there are very few Hong Kong actors today who can play the noble temperament of Ip Man, needless to say the Shaw Brothers, except for the current Chen Guantai who has some real kung fu, the others are pillows with fists and embroidered legs, or let Bruce Lee do it? It seems that Bruce Lee's surname is too conspicuous, and he can't play Yawen's low-key at all.

Headache, headache! Wang Xiaohu bit the pen cap and got entangled, the door of the study was pushed open with a creak, Li Shaonan came in with a bowl of tea and said respectfully: "Master, please drink tea"
