Wang Xiaohu poured a lot of feelings into "Enter the Dragon", because this is Bruce Lee's last work in history, and it is also the only work he broke into Hollywood, so he is particularly strict about the shooting of several key big scenes. [Full text reading]

"Old Wen, I'll let your people use two shoulder-mounted cameras to shoot from this side and that side simultaneously." Wang Xiaohu stood in front of the No. 1 main camera and said to Winterdur.

"Why, I need a reason!" After the film actually began to shoot, Winterdur finally discovered Wang Xiaohu's overbearing and authoritarian side, that is, he always occupied the position of the two main cameras: camera No. 1 was personally in charge of him, and camera No. 2 was in charge of Yuan Heping. The only places left for filming on the Hollywood side were railcars and small shoulder-mounted cameras, which was somewhat unacceptable to Hollywood producers like Winterdur. "Tiger has to figure it out, this film is invested and distributed by our Warners, and you have to give up a camera position, otherwise we don't know what the quality of the film is!"

Looking at his angry appearance, Wang Xiaohu couldn't help but touch his nose and smiled embarrassedly, and after a little thought, he spread his hands and said, "Okay, I respect your suggestion, camera No. 2 will let your people be in charge." ”

"I want camera number one!" Winterdur pressed step by step, he found that this remote control photography lifting frame is very practical to shoot such a large scene, he has a strong interest in the high-tech made by the Chinese, and wants his people to take the opportunity to steal back this technology.

"Okay, then I'll go to camera two, but my guy has to be your assistant." Wang Xiaohu called out to Yuan Heping and whispered a few words to him before walking slowly towards camera No. 2. Before leaving, he didn't forget to stab Winterdur twice: "Old Wen, why don't we have a game." ”

"What? Race? Winterdur asked inexplicably.

"Hey, it's just that we have two cameras shooting at the same time to see who comes out with the best shot for the film."

"It's a great idea, why not!" Winterdur raised his silver-white eyebrows and smiled: "Tiger, let's have a showdown between the photography of China and the United States, hey, Zun. Hapos, don't stand stupidly there, come over and show our Hong Kong friends your superb photography skills! ”

Zoom. Harpos hurriedly ran over, to be honest, since he set foot on Lantau Island, he, the Warner ace photographer, has been ostracized everywhere, and the other Warner staff accompanying him are not, they feel that they are useless, everything is done by Hong Kong people, and they can't get involved at all. Now the boss has finally won the opportunity to perform, and of course he is willing to show his superb skills for this group of rural buns!

"Senior Brother Sanmao, you ask Ah Long to help push the rail car, you go and use another shoulder-mounted camera, and then you will move according to my slogan, and remember to learn more about the ghosts." Wang Xiaohu commanded with a smile.

In fact, he is fully honing his team. For example, Yuan Heping and Sammo Hung are the directors he will focus on cultivating next, these two are directors who have been bullslung to death in history, and they have been honed by their side for the past year, and after the filming of "Enter the Dragon" is completed, he plans to let the two of them shoot a new film alone, and he will be upgraded to producer, or shoot other films.

Two hundred dragon and tiger martial artists were ready to go, when Wang Xiaohu shouted action, they immediately followed the movements that had been rehearsed hundreds of times, and the simple movements of karate were done neatly and consistently, and the slogans resounded to the sky, and the scene was extremely shocking and huge. Wang Xiaohu personally sat on the No. 1 camera elevator and remotely controlled the shooting, recording the costume through several directions in the upper, middle and lower, front and back, and at the same time asked Sammo Hung and Jackie Chan to rush to the entrance to shoot the footage of Bruce Lee and other masters from all over the world landing on the shore.

It can be said that the filming process in Hong Kong is very smooth, and everything to be filmed is completed in one go, but on the American side, because of the first time to accept the remote control lift, many of the indulgence methods have not yet been figured out, and the performance after the official start of the camera is in a hurry and embarrassed, which makes Winterdour very annoyed, he tilted his head and howled in his heart: "God, it's so embarrassing, we actually threw ourselves into the face of the Americans in front of a group of dirt buns!" ”

Fortunately, with Yuan Heping on the side to assist in the shooting, this big scene was barely filmed, and Yuan Heping also secretly learned from Zu En. He understood some of Harpos's filming skills, and he understood some English, but he still had to pretend not to understand and ask seven or eight more questions. After Harbos took this kind of shooting and what kind of picture effect could be produced, Yuan Heping was satisfied with the instructions to raise and lower the camera. This situation is also well reflected in Sammo Hung , Jackie Chan and others, in short, they are just thinking of ways to learn things from the Yankees.

It took Warner's Yankees half a day to barely get used to the way the remote control camera lifts worked, and by the time the "Island Landing" was filmed, it had already been a morning, and at noon, Bruce Lee was in front of all the main crew members of the crew and scratched Winterdur: "Hey, old Wen, the filming progress is very slow like this, do you know?" If the 200 Dragon and Tiger Martial Arts are tossed by you like this, they don't have to film these days, they are different from us, they have to film and eat! ”

"Bruce, listen to me, the afternoon shoot will improve the schedule." Winterdur looked helplessly at Zunn, who was still fiddling with the remote-controlled camera lift. Harpos said, "My men must first familiarize themselves with your equipment, hell, where did you get such a convenient lift!" I'd like to buy a few and go back. ”

"No, I can't meet your request!" Bruce Lee shook his head and said: "When I went to the United States, I had already applied for a relevant invention patent, if you want to use it, hum, take the copyright royalty." ”

Winterdur glared at the blue eyeballs after hearing this, and said a little angrily: "Bruce, have you fallen into the eyes of money, we are old friends!" ”

Bruce Lee shrugged: "One yard to one yard, isn't it, we spent hundreds of thousands of dollars for this damn lift, you have to mean it, so, for the sake of our old friends for many years, we will give you an eighty-fifty discount, and the patent royalty will be 50,000 US dollars." ”

"Eighty-five percent off and 50,000 yuan." Winterdur was depressed and found a corner to cry.

Wang Xiaohu saw the smug smile on Bruce Lee's face, and walked over and asked, "What's the matter, I see that Lao Wen is very depressed." Bruce Lee smiled and told him what had just happened, and the two of them immediately snickered.

"Xiaohu, it seems that your original idea was correct, and some things must be applied for intellectual property rights in time." Bruce Lee said with some emotion: "I feel very comfortable when I see Warner's people eating deflated. ”

When he went to Los Angeles for the actor audition, Wang Xiaohu brought all kinds of information about the remote control camera elevator and asked Bruce Lee to help register, isn't it just to prevent others from using it indiscriminately? Of course, this situation still works in foreign countries, and it is somewhat difficult in Hong Kong, but at least it is still effective. If one day the egg hurts, you can find an unpleasant film and television company to open fire, sue them for some crime, and ask for years of intellectual property fees.

"Brother Xiaolong, the progress of our filming is a bit slow, I want to divide into two groups to shoot, one part in Lantau Island to shoot scenes without you, and the other part to shoot other scenes in the New Territories." Wang Xiaohu thought about it and said: "The weather is very bad now, I am worried that our dragon and tiger warriors will suffer from heat stroke under the sun, and I am even more worried that those Yankees will not be able to withstand the shooting methods in Hong Kong." ”

Bruce Lee nodded, Hollywood's filming schedule has always been slow, because their actors only work eight hours a day, while Hong Kong is rushing to catch up with the schedule day and night. "I'll discuss it with Lao Wen, after all, I can't make him feel uncomfortable because of this kind of thing."

Wang Xiaohu smiled, he felt a lot in his heart, and remembered that Bruce Lee was the most picky and irritable person during the filming of "Enter the Dragon", he acted arbitrarily on the set, broke out the stinky temper of a big star, not to mention, and was very sarcastic to the American personnel, that is because he has to worry about a lot of things, in order to pursue the most perfect quality of the film, the pressure he exerted on himself is unimaginable, you can imagine how difficult his temper is.

Now that he is fully responsible and well-prepared, Bruce Lee is acting normally now, and even puts himself in the shoes of his old friend Winterdur, which is rare!

The filming progress in the afternoon was still very slow, the spicy sun was shining in the sky, all the people who participated in the performance were very irritable, and some of the weak American personnel even fainted from the heat, Wang Xiaohu had to let people carry them to a cool place, and let the members of the Seven Little Blessings be substitutes, so that they could barely survive until the end of the day.

When the sun set, everyone on the American side cheered, and they took the boat back to the hotel to relax, while the Concord personnel continued to shoot overtime.

"Zhang Yuan, go turn on the two headlights, Brother Xin will call Uncle Qin to deliver a box lunch, Sanmao, Zhengying, you go to Brother Ping and listen to how to shoot the next scene." Wang Xiaohu methodically arranged the plan for night shooting, and then he got down from the elevator and took a fan to fan away the heat all over his body.

"Brother Tiger, my sister-in-law has come to see you!" A dragon and tiger martial artist shouted at the top of his voice, and Wang Xiaohu looked back to see that it was Zhao Yazhi and Linda who slowly got off the boat, carrying two heavy food boxes in their hands. "Brother Xiaolong, the family is here to visit the class, don't be busy!" ――

It's been a break for more than half a month, and I want to resume the update of 10,000 words a day, but I don't know if there is encouragement. The first update.
