142 And miracles
Watching "The Righteous Hero" and discussing "The Righteous Hero" has become the biggest hobby of Hong Kong citizens for a while, they discuss the social status quo reflected in "The Righteous Hero" at home, in the teahouse, and in different places in the hotel, and almost everyone who has watched the movie will find their own shadow in the film.
Leaving aside the more obvious professions such as doctors, nurses, and policemen mentioned in the film, the most puzzling thing for everyone is that those who join the club also like this film.
In a small courtyard somewhere in Kowloon, Shen Guohao was standing quietly next to an old man, the old man was wearing a white kung fu practice, and the crane-haired and white beard was meticulously practicing Xingyi Boxing. "Dad, wipe your sweat." The old man took the towel and nodded, walked around the courtyard, waited for the breath to be stable, sat on the recliner, picked up the teacup and took a sip, and said, "Guohao, is that film really the same as what you said?" ”
"Dad, I definitely didn't lie to you, damn, that guy Wang Xiaohu is really bold this time, he even put the picture of the Iron Blood Hall directly in the film, not to mention the excitement, I have a lot of fun watching it!" Shen Guohao said with his eyebrows fluttering, the old man narrowed his eyes after listening, and said after a long time: "You said his Wing Chun is very good?" ”
"Well, the skills are good, Wing Chun's frame is decent, and this kid has learned kung fu from Bruce Lee for half a year, and I almost fell into his hands last year." Talking about this past, Shen Guohao did not feel the slightest displeasure, and even he felt that it was a glorious thing to lose in the hands of Wang Xiaohu, and it was worth publicizing everywhere.
The old man couldn't cry or laugh at his son's answer, "Hey, Ye Man's old ghost apprentice grandson is so powerful, it's not easy, I'll go to Ye Lao Ghost to comment on it another day, damn, his apprentice grandson almost beat my son to cry, it's too unreasonable." ”
"Dad, I wasn't beaten to cry by him, if it weren't for the silence"
"Hehe, don't quibble, can you deal with the dozens of people in the Iron Blood Hall alone? If you're that fierce, can you still afford that junior Qu Dafu to jump on your turf? The old man snorted coldly and said disdainfully, then shook his head and walked into the house, muttering: "Hey, I was compared to Old Ghost Ye again, I am really unwilling!" ”
In the past few days, Yuan Biao has been happy to not find the north, since he played the role of Abang, he will be recognized by the citizens wherever he goes, and then everyone will surround Yuan Biao, and there are many people who want to sign autographs and take a group photo, Yuan Biao is so moist, don't mention it, now he often returns to the mansion at 42 Cumberland Road very late, and every time he comes back, he is drunk. "Ah Hu, I really, really thank you, if you hadn't given me this, this opportunity, I, I'm afraid I'm still playing tricks!" Yuan Biao broke into Wang Xiaohu's study, and as soon as he came in, he almost lay on his shoulder and said happily.
Wang Xiaohu smiled and helped Yuan Biao up, let him sit on the sofa and poured a glass of water and said to him: "Ah Biao, in fact, I have done very little, the main thing is that you are working hard yourself, today's achievements are won by your own hands, aren't you?" ”
Yuan Biao waved his hand vigorously, probably because he had drunk too much, and his body also leaned on the sofa: "No! Absolutely not! I know that you asked me to be the second male lead this time to make me popular, and now you have really done it, today Aaron and their boss asked me to drink, and wanted me to make a film for them, and promised to let me be the leading actor, I will pat theirs, I will be on the spot, I will say on the spot, I will not leave Ah Hu's side"
"Aaron's boss? That Zhu Mu of the Earth Company? Wang Xiaohu raised his eyebrows and asked curiously.
"Well, it's him!" Yuan Biao said vaguely: "Zhu Mu said that they will make five big productions this year, and Aaron's "Standing on the Sky" will also be released in the middle of this month, haha, Aaron's stupid thing actually showed me that he was the leading actor, and I laughed to death."
Yuan Biao laughed, and Wang Xiaohu also laughed, unlike Yuan Biao's laughter, Wang Xiaohu knew that Dadi Company was about to finish playing. Although Jackie Chan worked very hard in the film, he couldn't stand the small cost, and the script was also very bad, and it was forcibly taken offline by the theater in less than two weeks after its release, as for the five big productions they said, it seems that there is "Policewoman" starring Jackie Chan, "Policewoman" has tried to learn the lessons of the last time, and the writer, director, and actor have made great efforts, looking forward to making a comeback. This film lived up to expectations, and the attendance rate was several percent higher than that of "Standing Up to the Sky", but in the end, it did not save the fate of the collapse of Dadi Company.
Jackie Chan, who became a free man, then ran to the Shaw Brothers, and appeared in a fragrant film "Golden Vase Shuangyan" by ace director Li Hanxiang, starring in the supporting role of Brother Yun in the film, the clever and lively Jackie Chan played a heavy role in it, and his performance was very eye-catching, which is also the only "tertiary film" that Jackie Chan has starred in since his debut, of course, he is just a supporting role, and he has not left any unsightly shots.
Speaking of Li Hanxiang, I have to mention the "Great Warlord" produced by Uncle Li last year, which is a work that Shaw Brothers can barely get his hands on under the amazing record of "Jingwumen" with a box office of 6 million, and the box office of 3 million at that time is already commendable, but if this film is viewed from the current viewing eye, it can only be defined as bad taste, because the film has always been full of cheating scenes, and this is also Li Hanxiang's specialty, and this kind of bad taste style of fragrant films continued until the end of the 70s, can be called the leader of glamorous films in the history of Hong Kong films.
"Hey, Jackie Chan is almost crazy outside, he should get a lot of training, take the time to recruit him to his side for training, you can't watch your brother wander outside, right?" Wang Xiaohu thought like this, in fact, he was brewing a new film, and he needed Jackie Chan to come back and play a supporting role or something, and tap his potential in advance, after all, no one in this world knows better than Wang Xiaohu what kind of route Jackie Chan will take in the future
Now Bruce Lee attaches great importance to Wang Xiaohu, and since he discovered the magical effect of the trailer, he has also made a plan based on the gourd, but he always feels that the plan he designed is not the essential, and the wonderful part of the film is not presented.
After Wang Xiaohu saw his plan, he pondered for a long time before saying: "Brother Xiaolong, my trailer is very comprehensive because of the tight time, and there is still a long time before "Raptors Across the River", you might as well make a teaser." After saying that, he saw Bruce Lee's sad look, knowing that he didn't understand what he meant, and explained with a smile: "The advance trailer is usually a kind of unofficial trailer for the release of a film with a large investment, which is generally released a few months before the release of the movie, and the time is short and only informs the actors, directors, adapted novels or sequel instructions, and rarely has a large number of film shots." ”
"Oh, let's make a teaser first." Bruce Lee nodded and said.
"Well, first of all, you have quite a lot of box office appeal, and you can attract a lot of audiences just by using your own name as a writer, director and actor, but in order to promote it better, it's best to add a few wonderful stills, and when there is still half a month before the release, add a little film, and add complete wonderful content a week before the release"
"Xiaohu, you are so insidious, you have completely adjusted the tastes of the audience, haha, but I like this method!" Bruce Lee laughed after hearing this
"Righteous Heroes" continues to lead the box office record for the entire April, as of April 20, the box office revenue has reached more than 5 million, and now the bosses of those "mini" theaters are making a lot of money, and they also keep their promises to send the box office profits of the first three weeks to Wang Xiaohu, looking at the extra 500,000 checks in his hand, Wang Xiaohu was very happy, thinking that if these theaters are in their own hands, then this data will be doubled, right?
The reputation of "five million box office screenwriters" once again appeared in the headlines of the news media, making many colleagues in the screenwriting industry feel like they have been beaten again, but it is not easy to write a script as wonderful as Wang Xiaohu! As a result, many young screenwriters began to haunt Wang Xiaohu's house, Golden Harvest Studio, Bruce Lee Restaurant and other places, hoping to get close contact with idols and get personal guidance from idols.
At the earliest, Wang Xiaohu didn't take this matter to heart, looking at those peers showing that kind of adoring gaze, he casually said something about the skills of script creation, but he himself plagiarized the script of his previous life, and he couldn't say anything in this regard, and some of the methods of the script even made them feel unreasonable, and suddenly felt that Wang Xiaohu was fooling them and did not announce his true talent to the world, so over time, most of the screenwriters gave up.
It was very late when Wang Xiaohu helped Bruce Lee finish the second trailer of "Raptors Across the River", and after he took a taxi to the vicinity of Cameron Road, he got out of the car and ran home, which is a training habit he has recently developed, and he has to do other training after returning home to ensure that his body is at its peak. When he trotted into the woods, the light of the street lamp was extremely dim, and Wang Xiaohu vaguely felt that there was a figure in the woods, so he stopped and stared at that part, and said after a long time: "Come out, you have been with me for more than a week, don't you feel hard?" ”
Only then did the man come out slowly, and by the dim light, Wang Xiaohu could see that he was still very young, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and his face was quite decent, but his hair seemed to be as loose as a chicken nest after not being washed for a few days.
"What's your name. What are you following me for? ”
The young man said hesitantly: "I, my name is Li Shaonan, I want to worship you to write a script for the teacher" (well, the third super dragon set appeared, Li Shaonan reported in the book review area after seeing it)
