729 Catch Schwarzenegger to be the villain
In a certain magazine in Hong Kong, two people are arguing fiercely about something. [Full text reading]
"Ming Pao rejected me, Hong Kong Star rejected me, and New Star rejected me, why don't you even help me publish it now?" Liang Ting's eyes glared angrily, and he pointed to the editor-in-chief of the magazine and said loudly: "Ah Zhou, we were good friends back then, and I just asked you to publish an article." ”
"Ah Liang, it's not that I don't help you, but I have given a death order from above!" Editor-in-Chief Zhou explained: "It's not that you don't know that I borrowed a lot of money to set up this magazine, and I don't want to lose money for publishing an article!" ”
"!" Liang Ting slammed his fist on the desk, and the loud sound startled Editor-in-Chief Zhou.
"Can anyone tell me why?" Liang Ting roared loudly, and Editor-in-Chief Zhou was so frightened by his angry expression at this time that he leaned back and said, "Ah Liang, I advise you to bear with it." ”
"Shinobi?" Liang Ting said angrily: "Why should I bear it! I've endured it for ten years, and Wing Chun Gate belongs to me! ”
"Then how do you fight Wang Xiaohu? He is currently a big celebrity on the Governor's side, and he is also knighted by the Queen of England herself. Editor-in-Chief Zhou swallowed his saliva and said carefully: "This time it is the gag order issued by the Hong Kong Governor himself, who dares to publish your article, and I want to mix up in the media industry in the future, Ah Liang, listen to me, don't fight with him anymore!" ”
"I can't swallow this!" Liang Ting still said hard-mouthed.
"Hey, Ah Liang, don't mess around!"
"Hmph, coward, I'm wrong about you!" Liang Ting threw down this sentence and slammed the door and left.
All major newspapers refused to publish Liang Ting's unfair remarks about Wing Chun Gate and Wang Xiaohu, which made Liang Ting extremely angry.
Since the way of the newspaper office was not working, Liang Ting began to think of other methods, and after thinking about it for a long time, he felt that the only thing he could use was probably the name of serving as the president of the Wing Chun Sports Association, so he decided to catch up with the masters of the major martial arts gyms in Hong Kong, let them stand up and comment, and said, see who should be the head of this Wing Chun Gate.
How do you know that the few martial arts halls that I visited when I came up to visit either went out of the house, or there were various reasons to close the door.
Finally, those martial arts masters who had a good relationship with Liang Ting received him, but when it came to business, those masters either refused to express their position, or "Wang Zuogu said about him" to guide the topic to other aspects.
Liang Ting was hot-headed and said to a good master: "Master Chen, I didn't come to you today to talk about the weather, nor about which teahouse had good tea in, not to mention about the negotiations between Britain and China, I was like asking you, if I want to go back to Wing Chun Mun, will you help me say a fair word?" ”
Seeing that he really couldn't hide, Master Chen sighed depressedly and said: "Ah Liang, in my opinion, the development of Wing Chun Gate over the years has been relatively regular, and even a few of our old guys are looking forward to having a good disciple like Wang Xiaohu in the door, that is, to contribute money and efforts, but"
"What do you mean?" Liang Ting asked.
Master Chen blinked, and said in his heart, Liang Ting, are you really stupid? I couldn't understand what I said, but don't you understand? Do you have to force the old man to say so directly?
It is said that the blood of those who practice martial arts is strong, that is because of the beginner's practice, after the kung fu is put on the body, the cultivation and bearing will gradually improve, coupled with decades of experience, the masters speak more tactfully and cautiously.
"Hehe, it's the same root, why is it too anxious to fry each other, thinking about our friendship for more than ten years, I still advise you to forget it!"
Master Chen tried his best to soften his tone, but Liang Ting couldn't listen to it, glared at Master Chen fiercely and walked away.
"Idiot! Your cultivation and bearing are 108,000 miles behind Wang Xiaohu, and you still want to be in charge of Wing Chun Gate, dream of it! Master Chen watched Liang Ting leave and slandered in his heart for a long time, and then began to sigh again: "Hey, I really envy the good apprentice grandson of Ip Man, why am I not so good!" ”
Next, don't even ask, those who are familiar with Liang Ting say the same thing as Master Chen, and those who have a general relationship with Liang Ting directly scold in their hearts, you Wing Chun Gate closes my bird business!
The newspaper could not be published, and no one in the Hong Kong martial arts community was willing to stand up to help, Liang Ting was so anxious that he was angry, and after returning to the hotel where he was staying, he smashed the teacup and the wall, how aggrieved he was!
"Since the newspaper doesn't publish articles, I print them myself, it's always okay to give them away for free, I want to expose Wang Xiaohu's false mask!"
Liang Ting contacted several small publishing houses, printed 2,000 copies overnight, and the next morning, Liang Ting brought 100 apprentices from Germany and began to go to the streets and alleys to distribute "leaflets"
When Liang Ting began to distribute "leaflets" all over the street, Wang Xiaohu was holding a meeting with Yuan Heping, Sammo Hung and others at the Concord Company.
"Sanmao, today you go to talk to Liu Jialiang, if there is no problem with his schedule, let him serve as the Hong Fist consultant of "Ip Man 2".
Now that the script has a preliminary direction, Wang Xiaohu began to make preparations for "Ip Man 2", adhering to Concordia's consistent excellent style, whether it is costumes, props, casting, and martial arts action design, they must be ready before the start of filming.
Wang Xiaohu's first thought was martial arts action design, after all, a big gimmick in "Ip Man 2" is "Wing Chun vs. Hung Boxing".
Wing Chun is a representative of femininity, while Hung Boxing is a representative of rigidity, in the confrontation between rigidity and softness, if the difference between the two is larger, it will make the appreciation of the movie much higher.
Wang Xiaohu can be solely responsible for Wing Chun, but he is not a practitioner of Hung Boxing, and most of the martial arts instructors of Concord International are Wing Chun practitioners.
Moreover, Liu Jialiang also has the reputation of the third-generation descendant of Huang Feihong, and he can drive a lot of box office appeal by him as a consultant to Hong Quan.
"Liu Jialiang's side" Sammo Hung frowned in embarrassment and said: "Won't it be a little difficult, I'm afraid that he will be obsessed with the matter of "North and South Shaolin" and refuse to join." ”
Yuan Heping smiled and said: "Sanmao, it should be Ah Hu who is angry, I think since Ah Hu gave Liu Jialiang a step, he should gladly agree." ”
Sammo Hung thought about it for a while, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll hang up the phone for him later." ”
"Don't contact me by phone, you can come to the door and invite it yourself." Wang Xiaohu groaned: "In this film, only you can play Hong Boxing and learn some external skills from Liu Jialiang." ”
"What about me?" Yuan Heping asked.
"Your mission is much simpler." Wang Xiaohu smiled slightly and said: "When Donnie Yen returns to Hong Kong for the Chinese New Year, you will be in charge of his boxing training with the boxing champion." ”
"Boxing?" Yuan Heping was stunned for a moment, as if he felt that this task was a little too easy, compared to the work of "Shooting the Condor", which was conceived for more than half a year, boxing was also simple, right?
Wang Xiaohu seemed to guess his thoughts, squinted his eyes and thought for a while, and said: "Otherwise, you go to contact the two sects of Hong Kong Baguazhang and Dasheng Splitting and Hanging Fist, and learn kung fu from them for a few days, but it is really not possible to give them the names of consultants of Baguazhang and Great Sage Splitting and Hanging Fist." ”
Yuan Heping shook his head and said: "Ah Hu, there is no need to contact the Great Sage Splitting and Hanging Fist, have you forgotten that our Chen Guantai and Ren Dahua are both learning from the Great Sage Splitting and Hanging Fist, just let them play the role directly." ”
"That's right." Wang Xiaohu patted his forehead and said: "How did I forget the two of them, let Ren Dahua appear, Chen Guantai hasn't been involved in movies much over the years, and his popularity has dropped greatly." ”
Yuan Heping nodded, then suddenly frowned and asked, "You just said that there is a boxing champion, who plays the boxing king?" It won't be Stallone who starred in "Rocky" and "First Blood", right? ”
chuckling and shaking his head, Wang Xiaohu said: "It's not him, he is now a big hero in all Americans, if he plays the villain in "Ip Man 2" and is beaten by me, the box office in North America will definitely be affected." ”
"I feel like he's very strong, and that dull face is very suitable for playing a villain."
I don't know how Stallone attracted Yuan Heping, he repeatedly instigated Stallone to be the villain.
"I have already chosen the boxing champion, so you better hurry up and implement the Baguazhang." Wang Xiaohu said with a smile.
"I'm very curious about who will play it now." Yuan Heping asked with a grim face.
Wang Xiaohu had no choice but to take him, so he simply said: "Arnold. Schwarzenegger, a foreigner you don't know, is physically stronger than Stallone, and he is also a world bodybuilder for several times. ”
"Oh!" Yuan Heping opened his mouth wide, and a muscular Mr. Bodybuilder immediately appeared in his mind, pouting and saying, "To be honest, I'm really worried about your small physique." ”
"Get out of here." Wang Xiaohu made a gesture to hit someone, but Yuan Heping left with a grin.
Let Schwarzenegger play the boxing champion, it is also a commercial consideration, after all, "Governor Arnold" is now famous in the American fitness industry, and "The Terminator" is being filmed, Wang Xiaohu, as the main investor in the film, seconded Schwarzenegger to concentrate on filming for two days, which should not delay the filming progress of "The Terminator", who makes the sci-fi blockbuster too wasteful of time, and in terms of shooting schedule, it is completely incomparable to kung fu films.
The actor questions of Ip Man's family, Ip Man's apprentices, Hong Boxing, Baguazhang, Dasheng Split Hanging Fist, and Boxing King have all been implemented, and all that remains is to grab a few actors from Hollywood who are slightly good-looking to make cameo appearances in Police Officer A, Noble B or something.
The Chinese have played the role of villains in Hollywood for decades, and now it is time to change their tastes, and let you foreigners play villains and small roles in Lao Tzu's movies, which can be regarded as verifying the old saying "Thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi".
I am afraid that Wang Xiaohu was the only one who dared to promote this concept to the world in the early 80s.
