528 Knocking on "Men Should Be Self-Reliant" in a Foreign Land
Mid-November, Los Angeles, USA. [Full text reading]
From noon, a large number of people began to gather outside the Los Angeles airport, including blacks, whites, tall cops, and blonde beauties.
At about two o'clock in the afternoon, two buses drove up, and out of the car came out of a group of Chinese people with red ropes on their heads, dressed in yellow brocade, and red belts around their waists. Drum up now! Yong, I'm going to do a good lion head dance later! ”
"Uncle Quan, I know, I won't disgrace our Chinatown No. 1 Lion Dance Team."
"Today, our Wang Xiaohu and Jackie Chan are coming to Los Angeles, and they must express the enthusiasm of our Los Angeles Chinese, you know!" Uncle Quan advised: "Cheer up the spirited people!" ”
These people are all Chinese in Los Angeles, and after hearing that Wang Xiaohu and Jackie Chan were coming, they began to hold a welcome ceremony as early as three days ago, and rehearsed for this night to welcome the arrival of the two.
Since "Police Story" was screened in North America, the Chinese people applauded, although Jackie Chan is the starring role, but they know that this is Wang Xiaohu's work, and the movies shot by Hong Kong people have made the American police watch them with relish, and the Chinese people naturally have a lot of face on their faces.
"It's coming, it's coming, Wang Xiaohu is out!" I don't know who shouted, the crowd immediately became confused, Uncle Quan was in high spirits when he heard this, and shouted at the top of his voice: "Boys, move!" ”
Instantly, earth-shattering gongs and drums rang out at the entrance of Los Angeles Airport, and several lions shook their heads in the sound of gongs and drums, which was particularly eye-catching in the welcoming crowd.
Wang Xiaohu and Jackie Chan walked out of the airport, heard the familiar sound of gongs and drums, and saw the familiar lions, they were very moved, and they didn't care to shake hands with a senior police officer in Los Angeles, and ran straight to the lion dance team.
When the Chinese people in the lion dance saw Wang Xiaohu coming, their strength couldn't help but increase a few copies, and the sound of gongs and drums became louder, which sounded particularly exciting, and even those foreigners watched it with taste.
Wang Xiaohu applauded and nodded to the Chinese people dancing the lion, it can be said that receiving such a grand welcome in a foreign land was the first time Wang Xiaohu had encountered it, and he was also quite moved and surprised.
"Thank you, thank you!" Wang Xiaohu said excitedly, and he was also very happy in his heart.
Two "lions" circled around Wang Xiaohu, Wang Xiaohu stood in the middle and smiled and applauded, this scene was very encouraging in Jackie Chan's eyes, "When will I be respected by the Chinese people in the world like Ah Hu?" ”
Jackie Chan was standing on the edge of the crowd in reverie, and saw that the two lions surrounding Wang Xiaohu were actually "walking" towards him. I was very encouraged at the moment, and clapped my hands and walked into the circle.
"Thank you, thank you for your kindness!" Wang Xiaohu held Uncle Quan's hand tightly and said, "It's really surprising, everyone is too enthusiastic." ”
"Mr. Wang, you have added glory to us Chinese, and the old man should do this!" Uncle Quan was also very excited.
"You're dancing great!" Jackie Chan came over and was eager to try, "Ah Hu, we haven't danced for a long time, do you want to try it?" ”
"It's better for you to come!" Wang Xiaohu smiled and said, "I'll play the drum for you!" ”
"Good!" After Jackie Chan exchanged two sentences with his partner, he took the lion's head from Uncle Quan's hand, shouted and went into battle, and saw this big lion with eyes like copper bells and fiery red fluff around his body jumping into everyone's sight, and Uncle Quan and others immediately applauded when they saw this.
"Good!"
The so-called layman looks at the excitement, and the insider looks at the doorway, Jackie Chan just made Uncle Quan and other experts applaud, which shows that he is very accomplished in lion dance. In fact, all the trainees of the Dragon and Tiger Martial Arts Guild will learn lion dance, after all, lion dance is a very common thing in Hong Kong. Jackie Chan has already designed several lion dances in order to film "Junior Brother Out of the Horse", which is naturally a matter of handy.
After Jackie Chan jumped into the queue of two lions, the deafening sound of gongs and drums suddenly stopped, Wang Xiaohu held a drumstick in his hand, his heart was full of blood, and suddenly the drumstick raised fell on the drum surface, making a deafening sound.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
"At first, people didn't feel anything, but as the drumsticks hit the drum surface faster and faster, everyone felt that the blood in their bodies began to heat up and start to accelerate!
The drumsticks in Wang Xiaohu's hands were like magic sounds, and the hearts of the people present, including foreigners, were jumping to the rhythm, and the three lions in the field were more active than just now.
Especially the lion made by Jackie Chan, in Wang Xiaohu's exciting drums, from sleeping and waking up, scratching his head and swinging his tail, looking up and looking down, to carnival, rolling and other movements of the flexible and vivid dance, when Wang Xiaohu's drum beat to the high, Jackie Chan said a word to his companions behind him, and then saw the lion's head being thrown high, Jackie Chan jumped up with a front somersault, and steadily dragged the lion's head, and the companions behind him also followed closely to catch the lion's tail.
"Good!"
"The dance is so good!"
The cheers came from the surrounding crowd, the drums continued, and the lions danced wildly, making Winterdur, Lucas, and Spielberg, who came to greet Wang Xiaohu, dumbfounded.
"Oriental culture is really full of magical charm!" Lucas clapped his hands in applause.
"Don't you think the boss's music is better?" Winterdur said with a white eyebrow.
"Yes, the boss is even better!" Spielberg shouted.
Drums stop, lions stop! Everyone in front of the Los Angeles airport responded with a round of applause. And those Chinese people are even more excited, and the experience of many years tells them that the rhythm that Wang Xiaohu just knocked is the biggest hero.
Jackie Chan took the lion's head in his hand and said to Wang Xiaohu with excitement on his face: "Ah Hu, the dance just now was so energetic, especially the drum beat you played made me listen to it very exciting." ”
Uncle Quan also nodded and said, "Mr. Wang, what rhythm did you hit just now, why have we never heard it?" ”
Wang Xiaohu handed the drumstick to the people around him who had long been stunned, clapped his palms and smiled: ""Men should be self-reliant"! ”
Even without the cooperation of other musical instruments, Wang Xiaohu can now use the drum to beat the rhythm of "Men as Self-improvement" through the drumsticks, although it is the first attempt, but it also has such a good effect, all because Uncle Quan and others moved him.
"Men should be self-reliant, good, men should be self-reliant!" Jackie Chan and Uncle Quan nodded vigorously, good men should be like this, especially Chinese people in a foreign land should be more self-reliant, and Wang Xiaohu's struggle in the world film industry has also become the epitome of men's self-improvement, which makes Jackie Chan and Uncle Quan secretly give a thumbs up in their hearts.
"Mr. Wang, the old man knows that you still have important things to deal with during this trip, but before leaving Los Angeles, I implore you to go to Chinatown for a while, we are all looking forward to it." Uncle Quan said.
"Definitely, definitely!" Wang Xiaohu nodded and said, "Please rest assured, old man, I will definitely go back." ”
The story of Wang Xiaohu knocking on the lion on the street at the airport quickly spread in Chinatown, and the song "Men should be self-reliant" was also hailed as a classic by lion dance insiders as their encouragement for self-improvement.
After Wang Xiaohu and his entourage arrived in Los Angeles, they went to the branch office non-stop, and before their buttocks were hot, Wang Xiaohu said to Spielberg: "When will "Contact of the Third Kind" be released. ”
Spielberg shrugged and said, "Post-production is 95 percent complete, and I believe it will be released in a few days." ”
Wang Xiaohu nodded: "Very good, you can rest for a while after the film is released, don't be too anxious to arrange the filming of "ET", take your bonus and go on vacation." ”
"No, no, boss, I'm in very good shape now, I don't need to take a vacation, I want to wait for the filming of "ET" to finish filming, and take a long vacation!" Spielberg said with a laugh.
"Whatever you want." Wang Xiaohu is very relieved of him now, because as long as this guy has money to invest, as long as he doesn't shoot a lot of cumbersome exterior scenes, his state will be very stable. In fact, both films are family-friendly genres, and the main audience is family-oriented, just like "Home Alone" a few years ago.
"George, don't worry, I won't rush you to catch up, you take your time to improve." Wang Xiaohu turned his head and smiled at Lucas, who was a little nervous: "We Chinese have a saying that it is called slow work and meticulous work, and it is your current task to make a satisfactory movie according to your ideas." ”
"Thank you for your understanding." Lucas smiled gratefully and said, "Actually, I'm in a good state of mind now, and I won't send small notes to my colleagues anymore!" ”
"Hahaha." Everyone in the room laughed, and it seemed that Lucas knew that his behavior was a little annoying.
"I'm going to be in a hurry this time, and I'm going to have a lot of things to work out, the first thing to do is to deal with the kind invitations from the Los Angeles and San Francisco police departments tomorrow, and God knows what they'll ask me to do."
Wang Xiaohu sighed and said: "The second thing is to talk to the author of "First Blood" and sign the copyright of film and television modification, Lao Wen, do you know what Sylvester is busy with?" ”
Winterdur rolled his eyes, "He, oh, should be bowling with some beautiful women, anyway, he's been squandering a lot of money in recent years." ”
Wang Xiaohu couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this, this damn Stallone, since the box office performance of "Rocky 2" was not as good as "Rocky 1", his whole person was like Rocky in the movie, he was very hit, and everyone who was hit began to be idle.
"Let him come to me the day after tomorrow, and I'll go with him to find that who"
"David. Merair. Winterdur reminded.
"Yes, it's David. Merel, I'm going to talk to him, Silvibit has to be there. Wang Xiaohu frowned and said: "The third thing is the selection of actors, I don't know if you have found a good list of actors in the actors' union." ”
This matter is also an important purpose of Wang Xiaohu's trip, "Myth" must prepare everything before the mainland side gives news, and the actress is a big thing for him!
