If someone asks Wang Xiaohu to add a few labels to Hong Kong movies, he will definitely not use the same things as "kung fu", "comedy", and "hero", he will directly replace them with "following the trend", "imitation", and "localization". 【】

It is undeniable that Hong Kong films occupy a pivotal position in the world of cinema, contributing to the world "kung fu films", a film genre rich in Chinese culture, but apart from kung fu films, Hong Kong films are left to imitate and follow the trend.

Remaking Hollywood classics into films with Hong Kong local characteristics has always been a very enthusiastic thing for Hong Kong filmmakers, and you can even find the shadow of Hollywood classics from many Hong Kong films.

Wang Xiaohu's research found that there are a lot of "Braveheart" ideas in it, such as projecting a rain of arrows into the sky, such as Takeshi Kaneshiro screaming after cutting off the enemy's head with a dagger, all of which imitate "Braveheart", and the martial arts film based on "Stinging Horse" is a remake of a nondescript historical war film, and the two main wars are set by the screenwriters as extremely naïve bridges, and the so-called painting of a tiger is not an anti-dog.

In fact, this is a bit serious, some of the intention to belittle Hong Kong movies, Wang Xiaohu also knows that his idea will be opposed by many people, so most of the time, he just does it with his head down, ignoring how the outside world comments about him.

Now Chow Yun-fat suddenly proposed that "Ah Lang's Story" and "Ah Hu" have many similar plots, worried that he will not be able to surpass the "father" image created by Wang Xiaohu, which makes Wang Xiaohu a little embarrassed. smiled and said: "Fa Zai, in my world, there has never been a so-called golden signboard." Besides, there are so many roles of fathers in the movie, is it because I play a father that others will no longer play them? ”

Chow Yun-fat shook his head and said, "Not really." ”

"That's the end of it!" Wang Xiaohu shrugged, then patted him on the shoulder and encouraged: "As long as different elements are added to each film, it is not imitation." You see that a few years ago, Zhang Che and Hu Jinquan were filming martial arts films, especially Zhang Che's movies required to go shirtless to show the beauty of masculinity, and later Brother Xiaolong also borrowed it, isn't it to interpret this masculine beauty more vividly, so don't be entangled with the superficial form, but go deep into the interior to fully tap the surplus value. ”

Chow Yun-fat listened attentively, Wang Xiaohu gestured with his hand and said: "Actually, you can understand it this way, each role is not as rigid as written in the script, he needs the actor to use his own understanding to perform this role through acting skills, if you are asked to play Ah Hu, you may show a cold style, and I will be very enthusiastic, Sammo Hung or Yuan Biao may play a very funny role, you see, different actors show different roles, this depends on the audience's appreciation taste, you are already a bad guy professional, should be changed to let the audience adapt to it, maybe there will be surprises. ”

Wang Xiaohu skillfully aroused Chow Yun-fat's interest, making Chow Yun-fat's heart seem to be burning with heat at this time, making his people and his heart surging rapidly, burning, and eager to try. "Brother Tiger, when can I get the script?"

"Haha, it's the New Year in a few days, let's wait for the new year, I have a lot of scripts to deal with recently, but I will get you out as soon as possible." Wang Xiaohu laughed, in fact, the most important script he has now is "Shocking", as Wang Xiaohu's semi-plagiarized and semi-original script, he is very careful to create and revise, in addition to the main theme version, several other scripts written for the Hollywood market are being integrated and harmonious.

"Hehe, I'm too anxious, Brother Tiger, don't blame me." Chow Yun-fat was immediately embarrassed when he heard this, smiled and rubbed his hands, and then remembered that Wang Xiaohu came to his house and said that he hadn't drunk a sip of water for most of the day.

"Damn it!" Chow Yun-fat slapped his forehead and went to the kitchen to boil water.

In the living room, there was Wu Mengda, whose eyes were straight, and Wang Xiaohu.

After Chow Yun-fat left, Wang Xiaohu observed Wu Mengda, and always felt that Wu Mengda's expression was familiar, and he racked his brains for a long time before he remembered that this classic expression had appeared in many movies, and the most unforgettable thing for him was the straightforward and stunned appearance of the deputy gang leader in "Journey to the West".

"Ada, what do you want?" Wang Xiaohu opened his mouth to break the silence, otherwise he really didn't know how long the gold medal supporting actor would be in a daze.

"Ah, I didn't think about anything." Wu Mengda was taken aback, in fact, he was thinking about the dialogue between Wang Xiaohu and Chow Yun-fat just now, and he always felt that what they said inspired him, but he couldn't grasp the key point, and he was stunned for a long time and couldn't understand the essentials.

Seeing Wang Xiaohu looking at himself with a smile, Wu Mengda scratched his head and asked hesitantly: "Brother Tiger, what role did you arrange for me?"

These words are good and have no confidence, but they can truly reflect his psychological world at this moment.

"Supporting role, as I said before, Ah Lang and **'s best friend, a character who can barely be regarded as a racer's agent." Wang Xiaohu chuckled and said indifferently: "Don't think that you are not interested in being a supporting role, you have to show the spirit of being a leading actor to act, you must know that the supporting role can also attract everyone's attention if it is done well, Fa Zai is the most typical example, Ada, you should really learn from Fa Zai." ”

"Yes, yes." Wu Mengda nodded, he really listened to Wang Xiaohu's words just now, remembered them in his heart, and practiced in strict accordance with Wang Xiaohu's requirements in the future, and took out the seriousness and mentality of being a leading actor to play a good supporting role and achieve the king of supporting roles

Every year the Spring Festival is the most leisurely time for everyone, busy for a year, it is rare to have a leisure, naturally to visit relatives and friends, in the family and friends of the family to play a day, this is the most traditional way to celebrate the New Year.

But this year's Spring Festival, many people did not waste time at the homes of relatives and friends after the New Year's greetings, they all said a few auspicious words in a few words, their buttocks did not sit on the hot bench, and they left home without a few sips of tea, because today TVB is going to broadcast three episodes of "Jingwumen" in a row, which is precisely the plot of Huo Yuanjia and Ishii Yingming who was poisoned and died after the martial arts competition, and Chen Zhen made a big fuss in Hongkou Dojo.

The first 20 episodes of "Jingwumen" completely aroused the taste of all Hong Kong citizens, they were attracted by the ups and downs of the storyline, worried about the love between the male and female protagonists, and even more vicious and atmosphere of the devil, a TV series can reach this height, it cannot but be said to be a miracle in the history of Hong Kong TV dramas, it can only be said: "Jingwumen" is so good-looking, people can't stop it, so much so that even the Spring Festival can't attract them!

Wang Xiaohu had no parents and immediate relatives in this life, and early in the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, he rushed to his master's house in Zhanyuan with Zhao Yazhi and Li Guohao to pay New Year's greetings.

The family knelt on the ground neatly and kowtowed to Yu Zhanyuan three times, and Yu Zhanyuan, who was happy, couldn't close his mouth, pinched three red envelopes in his hands and said with a smile: "Come on, come on, you have a share." ”

The master and apprentice chatted happily about the parents, and after a while, Sammo Hung , Yuan Biao, Yuan Hua , Yuan Qiu and other seven Xiaofu brothers more than 30 people rushed over, and as soon as they entered the door, they knelt down and gave Yu Zhanyuan a New Year's greeting.

Lao Yutou saw that the apprentices were now thriving, and he was naturally happy in his heart, "You are much more productive than being a teacher!" Saying in his mouth, his subordinates kept sending red envelopes, these red envelopes are naturally not as much as Wang Xiaohu's family, no way, after all, what about dozens of apprentices, if the standard is unified, it is strange if you are old and not bankrupt, the meaning is all at once, isn't it a colorful head?

"Thank you, Master." The apprentices followed the rules of the pear orchard, knelt on the ground and received the red envelope with their hands over the top.

After giving Yu Zhanyuan a New Year's greeting, Sammo Hung ran over to greet Wang Xiaohu again, of course, there will be no such weight between the brothers, not to mention that Wang Xiaohu is the youngest of them, these guys must be hippie smiling, after saying the auspicious words, Qi Qi stretched out his right hand.

Wang Xiaohu handed the car key to Li Guohao, patted him on the head and said, "Guohao, go to the car and get that black bag, and give you red envelopes!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the hall bent over with a smile, Sammo Hung They were originally joking, how did they know that Li Guohao really went out obediently, and after a while, he came in with a black bag, stood in the middle of the living room, carried the bag in one hand, and pinched his waist with the other hand and said very angrily: "Teachers, line up according to seniority, come with red envelopes!" ”

"Ah Hu, you won't really prepare a red envelope, will you?" Sammo Hung was full of embarrassment, "We're kidding you." ”

"Aren't you really prepared?" Wang Xiaohu laughed, looking at the embarrassed expressions of the senior brothers, his stomach hurt, pointing at Sammo Hung and others and said: "In previous years, when you came to me, you stretched out your hand as soon as you entered the door, I was scared, I was busy with Azhi until late last night, just to wrap red envelopes for you, take them, you are polite to me!" ”

The seven Xiaofu brothers all broke out in a cold sweat, this little junior brother never forgot to tease them at any time.

"Take it, take it, who is afraid of too many red envelopes!" Yuan Biao wiped his mouth and was the first to go up to receive the red envelope, but Li Guohao didn't let go of the red envelope: "Uncle Biao, you go to line up, Uncle Bao is the first!" ”

"They're thin-skinned"

"Hahaha!" The crowd burst into laughter again.

After receiving red envelopes and eating melon seeds and sweets, the taste of the New Year in Yu Zhanyuan's house was much stronger than that of that year, which made Lao Yutou feel a lot of emotion in his heart.

"Master, I will let Sanmao shoot "Seven Little Blessings" in the next year." Wang Xiaohu said to Zhan Yuan.

"Well, I've read the script, and you've written me so well." Yu Zhanyuan smiled bitterly and said: "Back then, I beat you more ruthlessly than in the script, don't you hold a grudge?" ”

"Master, if it weren't for your rattan noodles, we might not have been able to achieve today's results." Yuan Biao said with a smile.

Dozens of masters and apprentices were talking about the script of "Seven Little Blessings", when they heard a familiar voice outside: "Master, I'm here to greet you for the New Year." ”

After everyone in the room heard this voice, the joy on their faces faded, because the voice was Jackie Chan's.
