029 Golden Harvest Compromise
In the next few days, Wang Xiaohu and Bruce Lee both squatted in Mingde Garden to revise the script, and when they were tired from work, they went to the practice room to train in Jeet Kune Do.
"Xiaohu, Jeet Kune Do is not a blind imitation, most martial arts practices are the same imitation and repetition, this is like the production of items in a factory, they are all made in a model, there is no difference, and the essential difference is lost."
Bruce Lee stretched out his index finger and said: "I think that teaching proper self-defense techniques should vary from person to person, just like you have a good foundation in Wing Chun, which is very similar to me, and you are also very knowledgeable about Jeet Kune Do, but your previous training seems to have entered a misunderstanding." ”
Wang Xiaohu listened carefully, in fact, he was already aware of this after he met Bruce Lee and came into contact with the authentic philosophy of Jeet Kune Do, if he really wanted to elaborate on how this misunderstanding was caused, he could only blame the Jeet Kune Do he was exposed to in his previous life as an original school.
In the previous life, with the death of Bruce Lee, Jeet Kune Do was also divided into two factions: conceptual and original.
What Wang Xiaohu came into contact with was originality, that is, Zhenfan martial arts. In 90, Hao Gang officially worshiped Bruce Lee's personal disciple Liang Long, president of the World Jeet Kune Do Federation in the United States, as a teacher, at that time there was great chaos in the domestic Jeet Kune Do community, and any person with some martial arts skills imitated Bruce Lee's movements a few times, and he would sell a dog with a sheep's head and say that he was a Jeet Kune Do coach.
This chaotic situation was not until 96 years when Hao Gang searched for his roots, cleaned up the source, and apprenticed to Bruce Lee in the United States, Master Irushandu, the eldest disciple of Grandmaster, and Master Kimura Takeyuki, the first disciple of the Grandmaster, and introduced a complete system of Zhenfan / Jeet Kune Do, Wang Xiaohu also came into contact with the original Jeet Kune Do faction at that time and practiced hard.
The concept of Jeet Kune Do is more accepted abroad and closer to Bruce Lee's original meaning. The so-called conceptual school does not teach the main moves, but uses the techniques used in different systems to inspire practitioners to improve themselves, absorb what is useful to them, and remove the parts that are not useful to themselves. Closer to the essence of martial arts.
Now Bruce Lee's words are heaven-shattering, so that Wang Xiaohu suddenly enlightened, this kind of one-on-one guidance and practice opportunities are absolutely rare, and the instructor is still Bruce Lee, Wang Xiaohu naturally cherishes every opportunity to train, through Bruce Lee's personal guidance, the current Wang Xiaohu's body is already very strong, and the comprehension of Jeet Kune Do skills has also been greatly improved, plus in his previous life, he already had some foundation in Jeet Kune Do, and the rapid progress surprised Bruce Lee.
"Hey, Xiaohu, you're making progress too fast, I'm a little jealous!" Bruce Lee didn't hide his true feelings and said: "Another day, we need to find a time to learn, you need to use actual combat to accumulate experience!" ”
"Hmm" Wang Xiaohu also feels that it is almost time for him to train, Bruce Lee is very right, if you don't combine martial arts with actual combat, you will never know what your level is, but he will not follow Bruce Lee's way to declare war everywhere, and then he will only become the public enemy of the whole martial arts people.
However, it is also a good suggestion to fight Bruce Lee, of course, the end is likely to be ravaged by the Interceptor Grandmaster, and Wang Xiaohu has some expectations.
"Bruce, there's your phone." Linda trotted into the practice room and said with a smile: "It was Zou Wenhuai who called." ”
"Aha, you guessed it right again this time, Zou Wenhuai really couldn't hold his breath! Wait for my good news. Bruce Lee left the practice room in a hurry.
Wang Xiaohu looked at Bruce Lee, who was leaving happily, and knew that in this competition, he and Bruce Lee won in the end.
This time, Golden Harvest can be said to have made a bloody investment, Zou Wenhuai and He Guanchang officially held a press conference, and the external media announced the resumption of filming of "Jingwumen", and Bruce Lee and Wang Xiaohu, who participated in the press conference at the same time, officially awarded the appointment letter of director and assistant director in front of media reporters.
All the reporters recorded this moment again, and after the press conference ended, Zou Wenhuai did not hesitate to invite all the reporters present to have afternoon tea, indirectly expressing his hope that the reporters would not make waves in the report.
And all the reporters present are very face-saving, you must know that Zou Wenhuai can achieve the position of the boss of Golden Harvest, it will definitely not be as simple as it seems, no one wants to be beaten by strangers the next day or lose their jobs because of this, they have a unified voice, and will never report any false news about the filming of "Jingwumen".
On November 11, 1971, the restart ceremony of "Jingwumen", this time it was more solemn than the ceremony of the previous days, Bruce Lee and Wang Xiaohu personally lit incense and toasted, praying for a smooth shooting, and the reporters naturally gave good words, and sure enough, there were no more unpleasant reports.
Wang Xiaohu heard a small news in the circle of reporters, that is, the Bai Yunsheng reporter who used to speak ill of each other, was beaten by several black-clothed people on the head when he went out last night, and is now lying in the hospital for treatment.
Wang Xiaohu guessed that this was Zou Tycoon's handiwork, and believed that after Zou Tycoon's warning, Bai Yunsheng would be quiet for a few days, at least he would no longer dare to come out and make any mysteries during the filming of "Jingwumen".
Due to the comprehensive revision of the script, many of Chen Zhen's literary and drama elements have been added, so the shooting cost has also increased a lot, from the previous 200,000 to the current 400,000, Zou Wenhuai also said that if the funds are not enough, it will be further increased as appropriate.
Wang Xiaohu said to Bruce Lee: "Don't be deceived by Boss Zou's words, you must know that our current shooting cost has broken the previous Hong Kong shooting cost record." ”
"I didn't expect him to add any more money." Bruce Lee shrugged his shoulders and made a strange expression and said, "Little Tiger, this time we are going to fight against the water." ”
"Hehe, I'm ready, how about filming the part where Chen Zhen fought with the apprentices of the Black Dragon Society when he was studying in Yueben?" Wang Xiaohu said.
"Of course, B boy, Sanmao, Zhengying, Xiao Qilin, you guys hurry up and put on makeup, we're going to start filming!" Bruce Lee showed unprecedented positivity, waving his fists and shouting at the main actors who were still chatting.
"Xiaohu, you also prepare, and then tell your brothers and sisters about the essentials of the action to be filmed later, and let them stand in a good position, otherwise being injured by me is not a joke."
"Ok, Ah Biao and Jackie Chan rehearse no less than dozens of times a day, you can rest assured!" Wang Xiaohu patted his chest and reassured.
"Attention of all departments, the first scene of "Jingwumen", the first shot starts shooting!" As Bruce Lee shouted, Wang Xiaohu, as the assistant director, immediately got behind the camera and began to get busy with Sammo Hung in earnest
It's --- the third watch, ask for support, comrades, it's very unpleasant to be blown up by someone, let's go back to the fifth, no, it should be the first!
