"Rocky" was prepared for filming a few days slower than Wang Xiaohu imagined, and he originally planned to rush to shoot immediately on the third or fourth day after arriving in Philadelphia, but things in the world always backfired, and there was a blizzard in Philadelphia one after another, and the transport truck responsible for delivering the filming equipment was jammed on the way to Philadelphia, and the crew borrowed from Warner Company also arrived in Philadelphia behind correspondingly. [No pop-up novel network]

For this reason, Wang Xiaohu is not good to complain about Winterdur, after all, no one would expect God not to be beautiful at this time, right? Taking advantage of this buffer period, Wang Xiaohu told the five main actors about the characteristics of each role, of course, among the five people, except for Chuck. Outside of Wipner, they are all Hollywood professional actors, and even rookie Stallone knows some acting skills, which saves Wang Xiaohu a lot of time.

On December 18th, Winterdur, who hurried from Los Angeles, finally arrived in Philadelphia with the crew, and the old Wen wore a thick down jacket and got out of the car like a penguin: "Hey, Tiger, I'm really sorry, the damn weather delayed us on the road for three days, I hope it won't make you feel sluggish." ”

"Old man, I can understand that you have worked hard along the way!" Wang Xiaohu smiled and hugged him, and then saw that the crew members who got off the car were very familiar: "Old man, is this the original crew of "Enter the Dragon"? Oh, it's just amazing! ”

"Yes, I think they're already familiar with your directing skills when they're in Hong Kong, except for Zu En . . . Harpos can't come because of the schedule, these are your old subordinates. Winterdur said with a smile.

"Hello guys! It's great that we're working together again, and I hope you guys will get used to my stinky temper. Wang Xiaohu greeted them with a smile, although the crew of 12 people is not the best team in Warner, but they have a good tacit understanding with Wang Xiaohu, and they also admire Wang Xiaohu very much, belonging to the kind of good baby who points to where to fight, this is exactly what Wang Xiaohu can't ask for, it doesn't matter if the personal quality is not excellent, as long as they twist into a rope and obey their own arrangements, then everything is not a problem!

"Tiger, there are some things I have to explain to you, in fact, it is not that Zun does not want to come, but the company has other arrangements for him." Winterdur gasped and said: "As soon as these children heard that you were going to hire someone, they all signed up as soon as they heard about it, and they liked the atmosphere of working with you, thinking that you would learn a lot of useful knowledge from you. ”

Wang Xiaohu smiled, he knew better than anyone why these guys liked to mess with him, of course there were things to learn, but the main reason was that his salary was higher than that of Warner. The premise is that these guys can adapt to their own filming schedule.

"If I didn't have a photographer, I'm afraid I'd have to go into battle myself." Wang Xiaohu said with a wry smile that this kind of thing is not uncommon in Hong Kong, but it is definitely a very despised thing in Hollywood, and what they advocate is to improve the mechanism and trust that each performs its duties in order to maximize efficiency. Winterdur stopped after hearing his half-serious and half-joking words, and he said to Wang Xiaohu very seriously: "Tiger, you must obey my arrangement in this matter, the team of twelve is thin enough, you can't even hire a photographer, this will make that guy Gaolos play again, I have already contacted two people for you in the photography union in Philadelphia, don't worry, our team will not be bad!" ”

After Winterdur resolved the conflict with Wang Xiaohu, he was extremely proactive, and it can be said that he took great pains to operate and support Wang Xiaohu in order to help Wang Xiaohu gain a firm foothold in Hollywood, and at the same time lay the foundation for his own future.

"Yes, old man, you've surprised me too much!"

Winterdur looked at his watch and said, "Let's go, let's go to the office for a hot coffee first, and the two cinematographers of the film will be there soon." ”

The so-called office is actually a branch of Warner in Philadelphia, of course, this branch is not at all at all now, it has been idle for half a year, and Winterdur will use this as a temporary office space for Wang Xiaohu's crew, fortunately, there are plumbing and electricity here, otherwise everyone will be frozen.

There is a room of people sitting and standing in the office, and Wang Xiaohu first gives each employee an ideological and political lesson according to the previous cooperation method, so that everyone knows the type of film to be filmed, as well as the props, costumes, sets and rented places needed.

There are a total of six rented places in the film "Rocky", namely a boxing club, an ice rink, a gymnasium, Rocky's kennel, and cashier Daris. The pet shop where Ann works, and the small bungalows of Talis and Pori.

Rocky's kennel and the rooms of the Dalys siblings, the ice rink, and the boxing club are all very easy to solve, and they can be solved directly with the youth hostel and Stallone's dilapidated property somewhere in Philadelphia.

A room full of people was talking, and there was a knock on the office door, and in came two people, one tall and one short, with thick snow on their hats and clothes, and only came in after shaking off the snowflakes in front of the door.

"Hello gentlemen, do you need a photographer here?" The taller older man asked softly.

"Hi Tiger, they're the ones I hired." Winterdur raised his eyebrows, turned to him and said, "Yes, gentlemen, you have found the right place, and we need a photographer." ”

Other unrelated personnel left one after another, leaving Wang Xiaohu, Winter Dürth and two photographers who came to interview in the room, after everyone left, the tall man was obviously relieved, and dragged the young man forward with his hand, and said respectfully: "Is there anything you need us to do?" ”

Wang Xiaohu felt that this person's voice was a little familiar, and when he looked closely, he found that he was really an "old acquaintance", so he said with a smile: "Old Xie, I didn't expect us to meet again." ”

It was Xie Dongshen, who Wang Xiaohu grabbed and asked for directions a few days ago, and he didn't expect to meet Wang Xiaohu on this occasion, with an excited smile on his face, and asked in Cantonese: "Mr. Wang, why are you here?" ”

Wang Xiaohu laughed, asked the two to sit down, sent someone to bring two cups of hot coffee, sat next to Xie Dongshen and said, "I really didn't expect you to come back for an interview today, it seems that there is really a fate between us." ”

"You're saying you're the one who hired the photographer?" Xie Dong frowned and asked a little overwhelmed.

"Of course, I came to Philadelphia to make a movie, and the photographer who had made an appointment earlier couldn't come because of the schedule, so Winterdur helped me make an announcement at the Photography Guild in Philadelphia." After Wang Xiaohu finished telling the ins and outs of the matter, he spread his hands and said, "So, do you think there is a fate between us?" ”

"yes, it's really fateful." Xie Dongshen said with emotion: "At the beginning, I was worried that the director was a ghost, and I didn't have much hope for this interview. ”

"I remember who you are! You're Wang Xiaohu, aren't you? The young man who had been sitting quietly behind Xie Dongshen suddenly jumped in front of Wang Xiaohu, pointed to his face and said excitedly: "You are Wang Xiaohu who cooperated with Bruce Lee in filming "Jingwumen", right!" ”

There were stars twinkling in the young man's eyes, and that kind of hot eyes made Wang Xiaohu a little embarrassed, nodded and said with a smile: "It's me, I'm Wang Xiaohu." ”

"Master, he is really Wang Xiaohu, haha, we really have hope this time!" The young man suddenly became incoherent, Xie Dongshen immediately pulled him back when he saw this, and shouted in a low voice: "Qingsheng, you give me honesty, how can you be rude in front of Mr. Wang?" ”

"Master, he's Wang Xiaohu!" Li Qingsheng said with some grievances.

"Mr. Wang, I'm sorry, my apprentice has been stimulated a little in the past few years." Xie Dong said in a deep voice here sighed, and later Wang Xiaohu learned that the master and apprentice are both very talented in photography, and good at post-special effects production, of course, their special effects technology may not be as strong as Wang Xiaohu, but they have a high comprehension surname, but talents like them are difficult to move in the United States, because Americans in this era do not attach importance to the Chinese, they are suppressed and insulted everywhere, over time, the young and gentle Li Qingsheng asked for the surname to abandon himself, and finally drunk himself, just so hurt Xie Dongshen, the master and apprentice barely managed to make a living, and on the day they met Wang Xiaohu, Xie Dongshen just got off work

After Wang Xiaohu asked a few questions about the common sense of shooting, he felt that the level of the two was okay, so he happily passed their interview and asked Winterdur to arrange for the two to familiarize themselves with the camera. When Wang Xiaohu was left in the office, he couldn't help but sigh when he saw the snowflakes fluttering outside through the window, it seems that most of the Chinese who work abroad are not living well.

The snow did not stop, but it was much smaller, Wang Xiaohu announced the opening ceremony of "Rocky" the next day, there was no grand scene of Hong Kong starting to worship God, and there was no interview attention from local media reporters, Wang Xiaohu just said a few words, and it was just a dull start.

"Guys, if you want to have a comfortable Christmas, cheer up and work hard with me these days! We are invincible rocky! ”

"We are invincible Rocky!" Both the crew and the five main actors responded loudly.

The first scene of the film was filmed Stallone playing in the boxing club and walking on the way home, the quiet and dirty streets of Philadelphia, the smoking manhole covers, the smelly garbage cans, and the idle youths, everything is full of a strong sense of vicissitudes, and the social security here is very poor and poor
