260 "Enter the Dragon" started filming
On the day of the incident, Deng Sheng, Bruce Lee, Run Run Shaw, Jin Yong and others jointly used their own energy to ask everyone who attended the wedding banquet to keep secrets, and those invited media reporters promised not to publish them in the newspaper after receiving some benefits, so Hong Kong citizens have been kept in the dark, but the underground world and the Hong Kong governor are busy with this matter, and they are always looking at the opportunity to seek their own profits, and the new Ngee An is also ready to move under the leadership of the Xiang brothers. [No pop-up novel network]
Wang Xiaohu didn't care about these, he didn't go out at home afterwards, this incident had a great impact on him, he had been blaming himself, he was very depressed, Zhao Yazhi also moved over to comfort him when he saw this, this situation was not alleviated until mid-October, when the crew of Warner Bros.'s "Enter the Dragon" arrived in Hong Kong.
"Let's start with the scenes on Lantau Island. Shooting the big scene as soon as possible is more helpful for our post-production. Wang Xiaohu said this at the meeting of the Chinese and American crews.
Winterdur and Paul Shearer nodded after hearing this, after coming to Hong Kong, they had communicated with three Hollywood actors, and they were very surprised by the preparation of Concord during this time, and after visiting the shooting conditions, they thought that Concord's current working model was basically the same as that of Hollywood, and they had a lot of confidence in the quality of the film.
"Tiger, I've read the shooting plan, and I have to emphasize one thing, can we save some cumbersome processes, such as turning on the camera and worshipping God?" As the film's producer, Winterdur felt strange about certain rituals in the Hong Kong film industry, after all, they were educated in the West and were not very interested in such things as turning on the camera and worshipping the gods.
Wang Xiaohu said with a bitter smile when he heard this: "Old Wen, we Chinese have a saying that we follow the customs, since you have come to Hong Kong from the United States to shoot, some local customs are inevitably carried out, and besides, I don't think worshipping God or anything will take much time, not to mention that we are ready." The next question I want you to ask is about the quality of the film. ”
Winterdur hit a soft nail at the beginning, and he was a little unhappy, but he quickly adjusted his mood, waved his hand and said helplessly: "Okay, follow the local customs." In terms of film quality, we at Warner advocate on-site recording, which can improve the shooting schedule. ”
"I'm afraid this suggestion won't be accepted by everyone." Wang Xiaohu shrugged and said: "This is the biggest gap between us, in order to pursue the quality of the film, we all take post-recording, we have a very professional recording engineer, you can rest assured!" "Everyone knows that Hong Kong people talk non-stop during filming, and some actors will even scold and swear in order to find a feeling, and it is somewhat difficult for Hong Kong people to shoot according to the script.
Moreover, an old actor like Shi Jian has made Cantonese films for half a lifetime, you let him run out of fluent English with a full mouth, obviously not shown, most of the films are filmed in Cantonese dialogue, and later find a more fluent voice actor in Chinese to record, although there are more procedures, the dubbing effect is still good, at least you can't hear an idol full of swear words in the movies of the 70s, right?
According to Wang Xiaohu's knowledge, the most famous voice actor at that time was Fan Meisheng, and most of Chen Zhen's Chinese in "Jingwumen" was done by him, he may not be famous, but his son made Wang Xiaohu thunder - Fan Shaohuang!
"Okay. God willing, all the best for our shoot. Winterdur reluctantly drew a cross on his chest, and finally chose to remain silent. He now feels a little cheated, because when he was in Los Angeles, he felt like friends with Bruce Lee, but after arriving in Hong Kong, when the film was filmed, he found that the relationship between them had changed into that of a superstar and a producer, and he also found that Bruce Lee's mood was not very high after meeting.
This is completely different from the Bruce Lee that Winterdur knows, with his understanding of Bruce Lee, Bruce Lee should be very active before the filming, will communicate on various details, and put forward his various opinions on the script. But now, Bruce Lee is dragging his chin and distracted, and his attention is not at all in the meeting.
"Bruce! I'd like to hear from you! Winterdur is alone here, and he is asking for the support of an old friend: "You are the main actor, don't you have the slightest suggestion of your own?" ”
"No, I think Xiaohu is well arranged, if there is nothing else, we will start tomorrow." After Bruce Lee finished speaking lightly, he looked worried, stood up and left the conference room first.
Such an abnormal behavior also attracted Wang Xiaohu's attention, during this time he stayed at home, rarely communicated and communicated with Bruce Lee, and couldn't help frowning when he saw his worried look.
After the meeting, Wang Xiaohu found Bruce Lee, who was wandering in the company's corridor. "Brother Xiaolong, what's wrong with you lately?"
"Nothing." Bruce Lee grinned bitterly, then raised his eyebrows and said, "It's that you have worried me for a long time, and I am afraid that you will be hit by the things at the wedding banquet, but now it seems that you are doing well." ”
"Hey, there are some things that you can't escape after all." Wang Xiaohu sighed with emotion: "It's going to start tomorrow, let's rest early tonight." ”
Bruce Lee nodded, walked a few steps, and then turned around and said, "Xiaohu, the test report has been mailed over from Los Angeles." ”
"How did it turn out?" Hearing this, Wang Xiaohu hurriedly walked over and asked in a low voice.
Bruce Lee hesitated for a moment, then shrugged his shoulders and said: "The test results are normal, those drugs are ordinary nutritional products, but there are individual ingredients that belong to the type of stimulants, but the dosage is very small, and the results given by the test sheet are very safe." ”
Safe? Wang Xiaohu frowned, "Are you sure?" ”
"Of course, I have an old relationship with the hospital, and the test sheet they issued is very authoritative, and it is impossible to deceive me in this kind of matter." Bruce Lee smiled and patted him on the shoulder and said, "So, you are worried, don't worry, I also did a comprehensive physical examination when I tested the drugs, and the results are still very healthy." ”
"I'm going to see that medical report!" Wang Xiaohu stared at Bruce Lee's eyes and said. Damn, in his previous life, the outside world also said that Bruce Lee had a comprehensive physical examination in Los Angeles, saying that his body was strong enough to be healthier than an 18-year-old boy, but as a result, he still died. "Is there a report on the brain?"
"Yes, of course, but are you sure you want to see it?" Bruce Lee asked with a smile.
"I definitely have to watch it, and I can only rest assured after watching it." Wang Xiaohu nodded.
"Well, but those physical examination reports will take more than ten days to be mailed in, you know that the data is troublesome, and I am a world superstar now, those doctors dare not be sloppy." Bruce Lee patted Wang Xiaohu on the shoulder again and said: "You don't have to worry about these things, I have my own measure, what you have to do now is to help me complete the filming of this blockbuster, and then the two of us will go to Hollywood!" ”
Although Bruce Lee said it very easily, Wang Xiaohu maintained a certain suspicion. However, he didn't show it: "Okay, Lao Wen seems to have some small opinions about us today, after all, they are all from big places, and they are used to playing the dominant role, and they will definitely not adapt to a small place like Hong Kong at first glance." If I have a dispute with Warner, I need you to coordinate. ”
"No problem, just do it." Bruce Lee stretched his waist and said, "I'm going home now to accompany Brandon to practice, that stinky boy has been getting lazy lately, I have to increase his training intensity!" ”
"Hehe, if you increase the intensity too much, I will secretly ask the Governor of Hong Kong to report you for child abuse."
The next morning, the Chinese and American crews arrived on Lantau Island by boat, although Warner Bros. was a little reluctant, thinking that it was a superstitious thing to start worshipping God, but they still remained silent and participated in the worship ceremony, especially after Wang Xiaohu and Bruce Lee cut the roast suckling pig with a knife, the charming aroma of meat made the American personnel move their fingers and unceremoniously share the feast.
"Did you find it, the director sent by Warner this time doesn't seem to be as famous as that Gaulos!" Sammo Hung scratched his head and whispered to Yuan Biao and the others beside him.
"I know this, Ah Hu told me secretly a few days ago, saying that Brother Xiaolong had a lot of communication with Warner, and it seems that Brother Xiaolong threatened Warner with a boycott and asked them not to interfere with normal filming." Yuan Biao also whispered.
Jackie Chan grinded his fists and said: "Haha, it's the first time I saw foreigners eating in the crew, and we will have some excitement in the future." ”
"Look at your size!" Sammo Hung gave him a chestnut and said: "You take the time to hurry up with Yuan Heping to familiarize yourself with the actions of the new film, this time you have to take the lead!" ”
Jackie Chan hugged his head and said aggrievedly: "Aren't you and Ah Biao going to make a new film, are you more prepared than me?" ”
"I'm an old partner with Ah Biao, you have a lot of experience, are you comparable?" Sammo Hung snorted coldly: "Ah Long is not me warning you, the new film is your debut, you must perform well, otherwise you will waste Ah Hu's hard work!" ”
The Seven Xiaofu brothers were talking about the new film, when they heard Wang Xiaohu in the distance holding the big lama and scolding: "Hey, what are you guys muttering?" Hurry up and change your costume and lead the Dragon and Tiger Martial Arts to occupy a place! ”
"Attention of all departments, the first scene of "Enter the Dragon", the first time to land on the isolated island" After hearing Wang Xiaohu's order, the two hundred dragon and tiger warriors in white karate uniforms immediately stood in their respective positions in an orderly manner
