740 How do you fight Chinese Kung Fu and Boxing?
After all, the people who came were all well-known and well-known regular media in Hong Kong, and they could not publish unverified legends at will, and although those masters were under the banner of "witnesses" and "parties", they were running trains in their mouths, and they could not be exaggerated. 【】
In fact, most of the reporters who came to interview Wang Xiaohu hoped to hear from him some news about why Liang Ting attacked him with a gun, and how he and two Wing Chun masters knocked down dozens of attackers in the blink of an eye.
But Wang Xiaohu kept silent about why Liang Ting attacked him and how he turned the situation around, and even publicly stated that he would not file any lawsuit against Liang Ting, and the reporters were dumbfounded on the spot.
Could it be that Wang Xiaohu is really as those "masters" said, and his mind has reached the realm of a grandmaster? Disdain to worry about clowns such as Liang Ting?
Just when they were wondering, Wang Xiaohu said: "Concord International Group will shoot a sequel to "Ip Man" after the Spring Festival! ”
What the? Wang Xiaohu wants to make a sequel to "Ip Man"!
This sentence directly attracted the attention of media reporters!
They still remember the sensation when "Ip Man" was released ten years ago, whether in terms of story entertainment surnames and biographical real surnames, "Ip Man" is a strong touch in the history of Hong Kong films.
In terms of the height of the film, "Ip Man" catches up with "Jingwumen", and it is also said that he is himself, Chen Zhenneng played by Bruce Lee can play with enthusiasm, and Ip Man played by Wang Xiaohu is fighting with blood rushing and applauding.
Chen Zhen is on the altar of the gods, and Ip Man is as intimate as the big boy next door.
"When you marry a wife, you should marry Zhang Yongcheng, and if you marry someone, you should marry Ip Man." This is the headline of Zhang Meijuan's review in "Hong Kong Women's Daily" ten years ago, and when I heard Wang Xiaohu propose to make a sequel to "Ip Man", I am afraid that no one is more active than her.
So she was the first to raise her hand and asked, "Mr. Wang, is the heroine in the sequel still Zhao Yazhi?" ”
"Of course!" Wang Xiaohu nodded and said, "Everyone will not only be able to see me and Ah Zhi return to the screen, but also some familiar faces." ”
A reporter from "Ming Pao" Weekly asked: "Can you briefly talk about the plot of the sequel?" ”
Wang Xiaohu muttered: "The basic plot is to tell the story of the Ip Man family coming to Hong Kong, and we plan to restore the real Hong Kong scenery in the 50s and 60s, and the general public will be welcome to watch and give directions." ”
"Is it more exciting than one to ten?"
"I can guarantee that the martial arts action of the sequel will be more exciting than the first one, because we will invite many A-list stars from Hollywood to join us." Wang Xiaohu said with a smile.
"Mr. Wang, you just said that there are Hollywood A-list stars joining, and it is also restoring the real Hong Kong atmosphere in the 50s, can it be inferred from these two points that the sequel is about the problem of getting along between Hong Kong people and British?"
Wang Xiaohu secretly said that he couldn't help but look at this reporter a few more times, and found that the other party was a reporter from "Xindao Yuebao", knowing that this newspaper was mainly controlled behind the curtain of the Hong Kong British political axe.
At the same time, he also realized in his heart that some of the things he had worried about at the beginning were finally unavoidable.
Thinking of this, Wang Xiaohu nodded vigorously and said: "Yes, I can say for sure here that the survival of "Ip Man" is about survival, and the sequel is about life, telling some stories that happened after Ip Man first arrived in Hong Kong, and of course it also involves things with the British. ”
As soon as these words came out, the audience was in an uproar, and all the reporters looked at Wang Xiaohu in a daze.
What time is it? At the most critical time when the Sino-British negotiations on the issue of Hong Kong's return to the motherland were at the most critical moment, all Hong Kong people were concerned about this important topic with their eyes wide open and their ears pricked up!
What does it mean for Wang Xiaohu to launch a sequel to "Ip Man" at such a time?
Anyone who has watched "Ip Man" knows that the movie tells the story of Ip Man defending the dignity of the Chinese people with his fists on the mainland, and he did not hesitate to be injured by the little devil.
In other words, Ip Man came to Hong Kong as a mainlander, and Hong Kong at that time was not so peaceful, Hong Kong locals and Hong Kong British political axes frequently clashed, and the British bullied Hong Kong people There are countless things!
At the most sensitive time, Concord International actually wanted to shoot a movie involving the intersection of the mainland, Hong Kong, and the British political axe, and it was also a kung fu movie, so there must be martial arts scenes.
At this time, the reporters immediately sniffed out the different meanings of Wang Xiaohu's filming of the sequel to "Ip Man".
"Mr. Wong, will there be a scene of Hong Kong people being bullied by the British?" A reporter from the "New Island Newspaper" immediately asked while everyone else was summing up: "Do you think it is appropriate to make this film during the Sino-British negotiations?" ”
The other reporters all looked up at Wang Xiaohu, which was the answer they wanted to know the most, so they hurriedly handed the long guns and short guns to the rostrum.
Wang Xiaohu took a deep breath and said: "To be honest, I didn't think he was suitable to shoot this movie, because the ancestor Ip Man had just passed away on the tenth anniversary, and I was just shooting with a motive of nostalgia for him." As for the political factor, I didn't think too much about it. ”
Could he not have thought about it? You must know that Wang Xiaohu is now a key figure in both Chinese and British political axes.
The journalists, of course, refused to believe his answer.
"If there are no political factors involved, how can we talk about restoring the real situation in Hong Kong at that time?" The reporter asked.
Nowadays, Hong Kong people are sensitive to political topics, especially a big director with international influence like Wang Xiaohu, and finally someone stood up to eat crabs, how could everyone let Wang Xiaohu go, so more reporters present joined the ranks of questions, and some reporters even wanted Wang Xiaohu to spoil in advance.
Spoilers in advance give you a hint of yarn!
Wang Xiaohu couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "Please relax this question, as Ip Man's apprentice and the director of the film, I will think seriously and come up with an answer sheet that everyone is satisfied with." ”
It was already noon when he finished dealing with these reporters, Wang Xiaohu had never felt so tired as he did today, and he hadn't dealt with reporters in Hong Kong for several years.
After lunch, the company successively received information feedback from Sammo Hung and Yuan Heping and others, such as Sammo Hung has reached an agreement with the Hong Kong Baguazhang Martial Arts Gym, and the other party is happy to serve as the Baguazhang consultant for the sequel to "Ip Man".
"The gossip palm said that they agreed even if they didn't want a penny." Sammo Hung said with a smile.
"Oh? And such a cheap good thing? Wang Xiaohu asked, "I remember that these guys were still squirming a few days ago!" ”
"It's not the same time!" Sammo Hung said: "Yesterday, the news of you, Huang Chunliang and Li Yuanxin has long spread in the martial arts world, and now who doesn't want to hug the thighs of Wing Chun Gate." ”
Wang Xiaohu smiled, and said in his heart that most of them were this gang of sects who wanted to take this opportunity to promote themselves.
But that's fine, everyone is originally a person in the martial arts world, and sometimes it's okay to help each other, and it's better to have one more friend than one more enemy.
Yuan Heping was more direct: "Ah Hu, I have communicated with Ren Dahua, and there is no problem on his side, but their Great Sage Splitting Hanging Fist is similar to Baguazhang, and the person in charge of the martial arts hall must personally participate in the action design." ”
"Get involved! So that no one will say that our kung fu is not real. Wang Xiaohu pouted.
"One more thing, I heard that you have a good relationship with American boxing champion Ali?" Yuan Heping said: "You see, we have invited colleagues from the Hong Kong martial arts industry to attend the consultation, did you also invite Ali to come over as a consultant in boxing?" ”
Wang Xiaohu raised his head suddenly, looked at Yuan Heping for a long time before he smiled bitterly and said, "Big eyes, aren't you confident in the boxing moves you designed?"
"No, no, no!" Yuan Heping hurriedly shook his hand and said: "Although I can also design sharp boxing moves, but we are going to shoot a real boxing champion, I don't have much experience in the ring, not as experienced as other real boxing champions, I think that will make the movements more real." ”
Wang Xiaohu thought about it, and this is also the truth.
After touching his nose twice, he said, "Okay, I'll contact Ali now." ”
The phone beeped several times before someone picked it up.
"Hey, boxer, what are you busy with right now, I'm Tiger."
"Tiger! God, how did you remember to call me? Ali happily exclaimed on the phone, "Is there any fresh tea for me to taste?" ”
In the past few years, although Wang Xiaohu and boxing champion Ali have not met much, he will mail a few boxes of Chinese green tea and flower tea to Ali every year, and the relationship is also harmonious.
"No, it's not the tea problem, it's some boxing problems that I want to ask you about." Wang Xiaohu said his intention at the moment.
Ali thought for a while and said, "Tiger, are you crazy, you want to make a movie about Chinese kung fu and boxing competing on the same stage?" ”
"Why do you want to say I'm crazy?" Wang Xiaohu asked puzzled.
"Do you remember all those boring reports in the newspapers ten years ago?" Ali said.
Reported? Wang Xiaohu patted his forehead, and it took a lot of twists and turns to remember that some American reporters had a boring suggestion to let Bruce Lee and boxing champion Ali compete on the same stage to see if it was Chinese kung fu or boxing.
There are supporters on both sides, but both Bruce Lee and Ali himself say that the two are clearly different fighting events and have different competition rules.
If you follow the rules of boxing, then Chinese kung fu must not use the leg method, after all, boxing is a game of two fists, but the Chinese kung fu that does not use the leg method is obviously going to suffer, everyone knows that Bruce Lee's "Li Sanjiao" is world-famous.
If according to the rules of Chinese Kung Fu, the problem is that Chinese Kung Fu has not formed official rules so far!
The world's perception of Chinese kung fu is limited to a few movies of Bruce Lee and Wang Xiaohu.
"How?" Ali asked with a wry smile.
How to fight? Of course, it was played according to the script!
Wang Xiaohu rolled his eyes, what a direct answer!
