In the next few days, the box office results of "Raptors Across the River" greatly improved Bruce Lee's mood, as Wang Xiaohu said, he played a big hero, and the scene of beating on the territory of foreigners made Hong Kong citizens addicted.

Some film critics also pointed out that at the beginning, Tang Long climbed up the stairs and ascended to the Roman duel venue, which is easy to make people think of the ease and belief of "master duel", step by step implies the strength of the other party, and the confidence of the Chinese people to never be afraid in the face of difficulties, in this duel, Bruce Lee changed his contemptuous expression towards the enemy in the past, and showed respect for the enemy, which shows that in this duel, the skill of the surname prevails, and it is not an ordinary revenge retaliation, because he does not continue to attack after defeating the opponent, Instead, he waited for him to fight again, and in the end, Bruce Lee killed the other party, not showing the ecstasy of victory, but showing a mournful look, and covering the other party with a karate robe. It shows the maturity of Bruce Lee's acting skills and respect for martial arts.

All the reviews were so good that some media outlets, seeing that there was really nothing left to write, gave up on the analysis of the characters in the film and turned to the cat. "The black cat, notice that the cat also made a stretching movement when they moved their muscles, and then under its 'order', the duel began, much like the current TV show show, but the ring was placed in the arena with a history of nearly 2,000 years, and the setting of the arena as a "peak duel" was very abrupt, but as one of the witnesses, it was buried in the dust of history. ”

The seven-day box office result of "Raptors Across the River" is 3 million Hong Kong dollars, which is the best box office result in a week since the opening of Hong Kong films, and it is believed that with the perfect harvest of the Southeast Asian market, this data will climb even more, and there are great signs that the box office record of 6.5 million held by "Jingwumen" will be broken, and I believe this will go down in history. After hearing these good news, Bruce Lee couldn't close his mouth with joy, and he frequently appeared in front of various media, showing his unique charm like them.

Wang Xiaohu shuttles back and forth between his home and Ip Man's old house, and now his life is very fulfilling, busy writing scripts during the day, and then going to the abandoned factory to arrange all the personnel to rehearse according to the movements, which is his usual rigorous style, in order to make all kinds of preparations during the absence of new films.

In the afternoon, he will go to Ip Man's old house, talk to Ip Man, and explain his designed movements to Ip Man, after all, the other party is a Wing Chun grandmaster, and he has the most say in how to show the most amazing side of Wing Chun.

"Little Tiger, Wing Chun is very particular about entering the horse, retreating the horse like a crane dance-like pace training, the footwork is really the knee clamp force and the waist back force to form a triangle and stable connotation of the overall movement, that is, the waist horsepower knee progress, with the force of the clamp to drive the back knee to follow the step naturally." Ye Man said this in his mouth, and at the same time made the corresponding demonstration action, the demonstration is the most typical collapse step word punch, I saw that Ip Man's knees instantly clamped the force to drive the knees to step forward, the right word punch power plus the collapse of the whole body superimposed explosive force, and hit it out with a breath, it was extremely explosive, so that Wang Xiaohu did not dare to peep at the power of this punch.

"Then there's the carousel trait!" Ip Man pointed to his midline after standing on the two-word tongs and said: "One of the tips of Wing Chun's fighting is to defend the center and use the center, so when dodging, pay special attention to whether the midline of the body is triangular with the center of gravity, and the range of dodge should not be too large, so as to achieve the best way to dodge the opponent's attack, and at the same time take the opportunity to counterattack, even eliminate the fight"

Ip Man shows the essence of Wing Chun, Wang Xiaohu listened very seriously, these typical movements in the previous life "Ip Man" Donnie Yen interpretation is very good, although Donnie Yen has not practiced Wing Chun, but has a high talent for martial arts, can play authentic Wing Chun on the screen through a short period of practice, is definitely a master of the master.

The 108-style wooden pile method learned by Huang Chunliang is nearing the end, at present, Wang Xiaohu has mastered this set of kung fu, and there will be no pause when hitting the wooden pile, Wang Xiaohu will ask Huang Chunliang for advice in his spare time, and the experience of the hand king is also a valuable asset, he can directly point out whether some schools of kung fu are correct, whether they are true, and even can compare the classic routines of several schools.

Wang Xiaohu naturally will not give up this opportunity, he is now not only preparing for "Ip Man 1", but also preparing for the martial arts design of "Ip Man 2", because "Ip Man 2" has a lot of Hong boxing, crane boxing, monkey boxing, Tai Chi fights, and that Hong Kong martial arts gym must accept roulette on the table, not Sammo Hung pioneered that year, because the martial arts fight at the beginning of Donnie Yen's version of "Jingwumen" in 95, Huo Yuanjia has used it in the face of the challenge of the whole Shanghai martial arts school, but more than ten years have passed. The shooting machines are more advanced, and everyone is more proficient in the performance of special effects.

With Huang Chunliang, a special teacher, personally instructing, Wang Xiaohu's martial arts movements are more real and fuller, and at the same time, he also heard a lot of sects from Huang Chunliang and knowledge, once he asked: "Uncle Huang, in the early years, I heard that the mountain Beida of Karate once came to Hong Kong to challenge, and was defeated by an old man surnamed Chen Taiji, I don't know if you know this secret?" ”

Huang Chunliang laughed when he heard this: "Do you also believe in this kind of legend? ”

"Well, just curious, didn't this happen?" Wang Xiaohu wondered, no, this is something that Dashan Beida personally mentioned in his autobiography, and Dashan Beida also recorded his failure in his autobiography >, recounting that he was defeated by Hong Kong's Chen family Taijiquan. Why does Huang Chunliang seem to have heard a big joke?

After laughing, Huang Chunliang said: "There is a thing, and I was also present at the time. ”

"Ah, you're there too?" Wang Xiaohu asked with a surprised face.

"Yes, Dashan Beida did come to Hong Kong and found the old man surnamed Chen to compete, but the old man surnamed Chen did not agree, but mainly to guide and demonstrate, the old man surnamed Chen showed superb martial arts and martial arts to impress Dashan Beida, the two have not fought once in the whole process, how can there be a failure, it is all rumors in the rivers and lakes, not credible, not credible!" Huang Chunliang laughed again after speaking.

"Didn't hit? Uh, what a disappointment! Wang Xiaohu pursed his lips and asked, "How is the strength of that big mountain Beida?" ”

"It's very powerful, when he was demonstrating karate, I gave him a boxing target, and he shouted, and the target I was holding shook the ground, and there were almost no flaws in the combination of punches and kicks." Huang Chunliang seemed to fall into a memory, but soon he laughed again: "Xiaohu, in fact, karate is not a big deal, like this kind of fighting project that relies on the strength of the habitual surname, when it encounters close pressing, the power will be greatly weakened." As long as we are close to melee, they will be like wooden stakes, only to be beaten! ”

Wang Xiaohu was greatly surprised when he heard this, feeling that Uncle Huang had already known how to deal with karate, no wonder Bruce Lee often competed with karate masters after arriving in the United States, and it was estimated that he was instigated by Uncle Huang. Carefully analyzing Huang Chunliang's statement, it is not difficult for Wang Xiaohu to see that he once had experience in talking about karate, but he didn't know how the other party's kung fu was

Most of the actors in "Ip Man" are basically determined, as for Ip Man's friend Zhou Qingquan, it is the image of a standard businessman, Ip Man said that Zhou Qingquan's favorite thing to do back then was to carry a small bottle of Vaseline with him, and wipe it on his hands a few times when he has nothing to do, so as to make his skin whiter. There is no better candidate for this role Ip Man, let Wang Xiaohu take the idea, Wang Xiaohu carefully drew a line in the Hong Kong film circle, and felt that there were few suitable personnel who could be compared with Ren Dahua, so he asked Sammo Hung to start looking for Ren Dahua in Hong Kong, it stands to reason that Ren Dahua is about the same age as himself, and Wang Xiaohu knows that he and Chow Yun-fat, Wu Mengda and others are all artists trained in the third phase of TVB, as if he was a model before his debut, no matter what, in short, he has to find Ren Dahua, He is a big brother like Jackie Chan among Hong Kong actors, and his energy is not ordinary.

Another actor who gave Wang Xiaohu a headache and has not been determined so far is Li Zhao. Although the character of Li Zhao is not a glorious role in the film, he is a typical little person seeking status, vain and timid, from a policeman to a translator, he has no faith, but left or right, not to talk about any pursuit, but he has the conscience of Chinese, and in the face of everyone's scolding and blame, he has fulfilled his heartfelt roar: "I am just a translator, I am not a stooge!" If at this moment, this roar still has the color of self-blame and cowardice that Li Zhao can't hide, and then the rescue of Ip Man's family has become a clear proof that he has a clear conscience, Li Zhao walks on thin ice between himself and his conscience, which can be said to be the most exquisite character in the film, and it is also the most impressive character after Wang Xiaohu watched it for the first time.

Undoubtedly, once the role of Li Zhao is performed, it will immediately subvert the Hong Kong people's perception of the image of the translator, so the actor who plays Li Zhao must have outstanding appearance, and he must be clever, and he must have that kind of flattering demeanor, thinking of these comprehensive elements, Wang Xiaohu's head suddenly became bigger, damn, why is it so difficult to choose a good actor in the 70s?

After coming to the restaurant depressed, Wang Xiaohu ignored everyone and went directly into the office, and happened to meet Chow Yun-fat coming out of the kitchen with a plate, and when he saw Wang Xiaohu, he immediately smiled and said, "Boss Wang, you are here." ”

Although he still smiled like that, but now it has changed a taste, Wang Xiaohu remembered the way he looked when he first came, and the flattering demeanor frowned frequently, but it was this thought that made Wang Xiaohu suddenly have a change of thought in his mind, he stopped Chow Yun-fat, who was just about to go downstairs, and said, "Fa Zai, you wait for my office." Chow Yun-fat responded, but the drums began to beat in his heart
