The opening ceremony of "Ip Man" is very grand, a generation of grandmaster Ip Man personally served as a Wing Chun consultant, idol superstar Bruce Lee, Wing Chun warrior Wong Chun Leung brought all the Wing Chun disciples to cheer, so that "Ip Man" added a bit of heavy color, reporters and media were originally around Bruce Lee, today I saw him with his family out and followed him, I didn't expect to encounter such a grand scene, they didn't know, these they can complain about Wang Xiaohu how much, one by one with the camera to shoot these shocking pictures, is going to "criticize" Wang Xiaohu's unkindness in the newspaper tomorrow, and secretly start filming a new film, which is low-key!

After the opening ceremony, Ip Man stood at the front of the incense, followed by Bruce Lee, Huang Chunliang, Wang Xiaohu, Zhao Yazhi, and then the main actors and disciples of Wing Chun, all the rules are enough to save face, and after worshipping God, there is a lion dance to help the fun, in order to highlight the theme of Wing Chun, Ip Man led all the disciples to practice Wing Chun in the factory. 【Reading.com】

Don't look at Ip Man's age, Wing Chun's kung fu has not fallen, standing in the front is very relaxed with small thoughts, behind him is Wang Xiaohu, Bruce Lee, Wong Chun Leung's contemporary Wing Chun celebrities, and then behind is the neat Wing Chun disciples, everyone will Wing Chun small thoughts, after the finger routine, and then two people in a group of sticky hand training, Ip Man and Wang Xiaohu group, Bruce Lee and Wong Chun Leung group, the scene is very sensational, so that the onlookers next to them look at it to itch.

These are all activities arranged by Wang Xiaohu in advance, even if there is no visit from media reporters, he will define this start-up as the prosperity of Wing Chun Gate, mainly to promote Wing Chun culture, so the whole scene is rehearsed in accordance with the general direction, giving people a very shocking visual impact.

Wang Xiaohu asked Yuan Heping to record all these scenes with a camera, because the activities that Ip Man and Bruce Lee participated in together were extremely scarce, which was even more precious, and he would also edit these pictures, combined with the pictures shot in Ip Man's old house in the early stage, and edit them into the earliest preview trailer of "Ip Man", which he prepared in advance, and it went smoothly.

It can be said that this is the first time that Hong Kong has a prosperous cultural exchange of Wing Chun, and it also has a deep influence on the entire Hong Kong martial arts community, because no school has opened up such a large space to show its own style before this.

But how could those media give up this opportunity, and when the opening ceremony was over, they immediately surrounded Wang Xiaohu in the middle to ask questions.

Wang Xiaohu sincerely apologized before the interview and said: "Everyone, everyone, I mean that I didn't invite you to interview today, as for why I didn't invite you, the main reason is that I defined it as an exchange within the Wing Chun Gate, and the filming of this film is only to promote Wing Chun culture and confirm the contribution of my ancestor Ip Man to the Hong Kong martial arts community." ”

"As far as we know, the most talked-about biographies in the history of Hong Kong cinema is Kwan Tak-hing's old-timer "Wong Fei Hung" series, does Director Wang have the meaning of challenging the "Wong Fei Hung" series this time?"

"No, I didn't think of it that way." Wang Xiaohu shook his head and said: "It is undeniable that the "Wong Fei Hung" series is very deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and I have mentioned it just now when I made this film, mainly to promote Wing Chun, to promote the ancestor Ip Man, as a Wing Chun person, this is what I should do." ”

"Mr. Bruce Lee, do you have any thoughts about Director Wang's filming and starring in your mentor Ip Man?"

This question is probably the most acute question in the audience, and it is also the one that Wang Xiaohu is most unwilling to hear, which is one of the reasons why he did not invite the media to attend the opening ceremony.

Bruce Lee frowned at first and then smiled and said: "First of all, I communicated with Master just now, and I am very happy that Xiaohu can make such a brave attempt for Wing Chun culture, and Master is also very sure of Xiaohu's image, and furthermore, Xiaohu himself is a first-line director in Hong Kong, and has many years of Wing Chun practice foundation, he is the first popular martial arts actor, I believe that he can play the role of my master very well, and can show the essence of Wing Chun to everyone." As for my idea, it's very simple, I will strongly support him to complete the shooting, and if necessary, I can even make a cameo appearance in the film, but I don't know if there is a suitable role for me. ”

The best sentence is to say it to Wang Xiaohu, Wang Xiaohu smiled embarrassedly when he heard this, and then touched his nose and said: "At present, it seems that there is no trick suitable for you to be so eye-catching." ”

"Hahaha~" The audience laughed, and some media reporters asked: "Mr. Bruce Lee, why don't you star in Ip Man?" ”

Another damn sharp question, Wang Xiaohu couldn't help but have a headache, feeling that these media were retaliating for not inviting them to come for an interview?

Bruce Lee said with a smile: "It's very simple, I can't show the elegant temperament of the master, and I don't match the master's figure, on the contrary, Xiaohu is very suitable." Another important reason is that I want to make a new film. ”

Now the media were in an uproar and began to ask about Bruce Lee's new film, Bruce Lee waved his hand and said: "Please be quiet, today is the opening ceremony of "Ip Man", the protagonists you want to interview are Wang Xiaohu and my master, not me, if it is my new film, I will definitely notify everyone." ”

Bruce Lee's answer made Wang Xiaohu very grateful, after all, Bruce Lee will cause a sensation and become the protagonist wherever he goes, he can support himself so much today, it seems that he has not left a gap in his heart, which is a good phenomenon.

The media couldn't ask anything, so they shifted their targets and interviewed Ip Man and Zhao Yazhi.

"Hello Ah Zhi, I'm Zhang Meijuan, a reporter from Hong Kong Women's Daily, we met again, I heard that you recently quit your job as a flight attendant, do you want to enter the film industry?"

After Zhao Yazhi has many interview experiences, he is no longer so flustered now: "I should be able to say that." ”

"Then what role will you play in Ip Man?" Zhang Meijuan continued to ask.

"I will play Ip Man's wife Zhang Yongcheng in this film, I am everyone's beautiful appearance, and most of the scenes are husbands and children, this role is a challenge for me, and I will also show the audience a mature side."

"Oh, that's to continue to play the screen couple with Wang Xiaohu?"

"Yes." Zhao Yazhi nodded and said with a smile.

"Have you ever considered what a real-life boyfriend is?" Zhang Meijuan suddenly asked.

Zhao Ya was stunned, then glanced at Wang Xiaohu and replied: "Uh, I'm sorry, this question is no longer within the scope of my answer, I have nothing to say." ”

The interview soon came to an end, as the first scene after the start of the film, the cotton factory workers also began to prepare for the work of practicing Wing Chun together, Ip Man was accompanied by Bruce Lee's family to watch, and Wang Xiaohu was busy with the crew.

After the preparations, Wang Xiaohu shouted with a loudspeaker: "Buried in each place, lighting and photography are all ready." The people in the audience immediately followed the instructions and went into their respective posts, and the disciples of Wing Chun had also changed into old-fashioned clothes, many of which were patched, but they were not disgusted at all and stood in their positions according to Wang Xiaohu's request.

"Prelude to the fifth group of "Ip Man": Qi Xue Wing Chun." Wang Xiaohu immediately shouted after playing a card game: "Angie! ”

The audience immediately devoted himself to the shooting, Ip Man, who was wearing a long shirt, stood in front of the workers, the expression on his face was extraordinarily serious, and he was teaching everyone to practice Wing Chun little by little, from small ideas to finger shooting in one go, but for the sake of the real point of shooting, Wang Xiaohu will also let everyone deliberately do some unformal actions, which Stephen Chow did very well, he didn't learn to play Wing Chun, and it was inevitable that there would be some clumsiness and mistakes in the fight, but the effect was just right.

Wang Xiaohu asked Yuan Heping to shoot a few more times, so that he could edit the picture according to the picture when he turned around, so as to achieve the effect in Wang Xiaohu's memory. After the filming of this kind of big scene, it is followed by the life-like training picture of Wing Chun, the main actors are still disciples of Wing Chun, they demonstrated the small ideas of Wing Chun in the process of playing cotton, and there are some interesting details, these things can reflect the cultivation process of Wing Chun very well, which is very different from other martial arts films.

Ip Man smiled and nodded after seeing it, thinking that this idea was very classic, and when Wang Xiaohu finished filming, he said: "Very good, I can't imagine that a few words in the script need to use such complex shooting, Xiaohu, you are really shooting Wing Chun with your heart, shoot it well." ”

After Ip Man finished speaking, he got up and said goodbye, Bruce Lee naturally accompanied by the whole family, the master and apprentice have not seen each other for several years, this time Wang Xiaohu came forward to lead, there must be a lot of words to say.

After they left, "Ip Man" continued to film, that is, Ip Man dealt with Jinshan and other thieves in the cotton factory, the process of this fight was extremely fast, when Ip Man arrived, it was already a piece of fighting, and it was required to bring a trick to the gang of minions, and then use the Wing Chun six-and-a-half stick to fight against Jinshan and Sha Danyuan, this scene is a turning point in "Ip Man", and at the same time there are many requirements, and it is somewhat difficult to shoot.

Because this film is not a biography or an epic, Wang Xiaohu needs to add something to make it more "good-looking". In addition to the excitement of group battles, there is another important point. That is, this is the beginning of Ip Man's Wing Chun inheritance. In the first half of the film, Qingquan's son Guangyao has been learning to be the first Ip Man's apprentice. And Li Zhao took the lead in turning "Ye Zhun" into a senior brother. At that time, Ip Man didn't want to teach martial arts, but that all changed in the cotton factory.

After the third shoot, Wang Xiaohu sat on the ground gasping for breath, he was reflecting, although everything was ready, the shooting process did not mean that everything would go according to plan.

"Damn, it's better to let Ip Man kill all the way!" Wang Xiaohu thought so, but quickly denied it: "That's too ingenious, it's easy to dominate, the axe gang, the axe gang, Lao Tzu used the axe gang for the second time!" This scene is really fucking depressed, arranged after Ip Man's ** of a dozen ten, and before the final battle PK, it's a bit unflattering! ”

"Ah Hu, what's wrong, is there a problem?" Huang Chunliang came over with the prop axe and asked.

Wang Xiaohu smiled and said: "Fortunately, there are some small problems, and I always feel that the shooting is not that kind of effect." Uncle Huang, you can be more aggressive, and it's no problem to exaggerate the characteristics of this axe. ”

"I want to exaggerate, but your six-and-a-half stick is very long, an inch long and an inch strong!"

"Hehe, that's right." Wang Xiaohu wiped his sweat, stood up again and said, "Everyone is buried in their positions, keep coming!" ”

After speaking, he called Sammo Hung over again: "Senior Brother Sanmao, wait for you to keep an eye on the brothers in charge of Ravia, leave some scale under your hands, don't hurt everyone." Although Wang Xiaohu has to talk about safety every time he starts the film, he needs to emphasize it several times after the key shooting, in order not to cause unnecessary damage.

At the end of the day, everyone was tired and half dead, Wang Xiaohu asked everyone to eat in the restaurant, and by the way, he thanked the uncles of Wing Chun Gate for their hard work.

During the meal, Wang Xiaohu asked Yuan Biao to pay everyone a salary, Huang Chunliang pushed the money in front of Wang Xiaohu, and said with some displeasure: "Xiaohu, this is yours, everyone comes to film to see your face, what is it if you can make some effort to promote Wing Chun, besides, you have to spend a lot of money on filming, we can't ask for this money." ”

"Yes, Ah Hu, you should keep this money, and when the time comes, give us a few more free movie tickets, and our whole family will go to watch the movie!"

"Uh, okay!" Wang Xiaohu nodded after thinking about it, since everyone was so insistent, he no longer twisted, and told the kitchen to make a few more big dishes to treat everyone, and at the same time, let Uncle Qin also add some nutrition to the boxed lunch system delivered every day to meet everyone's needs.

When passing by Bruce Lee's house at night, seeing that his house was brightly lit, Wang Xiaohu thought about pushing the door in, and when he came to the living room, he saw Bruce Lee busy with something, and when he walked over, he was drawing some drafts.

"Brother Xiaolong, what are you painting here?"

Bruce Lee looked up and said with a smile: "The Warrior's Journey martial arts action design!" According to your sketch, I drew the whole scene completely, and look, is it much more beautiful than your stickman? ”

"Hehe, of course, you must know that Brother Xiaolong, you have some skills!" Wang Xiaohu is right, the few books published by Bruce Lee back then were basically manuscripts drawn by him himself, and the pictures were quite exquisite.

"Xiaohu, thank you today, Master and his old man have forgiven me for my previous recklessness and re-admitted that I am a disciple of Wing Chun." Bruce Lee suddenly said affectionately.

"yes, congratulations!"

"Hey, the knot in my heart for many years has finally been untied!" Bruce Lee stretched and said, "I feel full of strength right now, well, I want to shoot "The Warrior's Journey" as soon as possible, how do you feel?" ”

"Good suggestion, but I have some problems with the schedule here, so you can start calling Irushandu and Jabbar to shoot."

"That's exactly what I thought." ――

The sequelae after 24,000 words, headache, numbness in the tail fingers, and feeling that the mouse is so heavy
