199 Against entering the television industry
After the 618 flood in Hong Kong, people from all walks of life in Hong Kong cooperated with the political axe organization to save the affected citizens of Sau Mau Ping and Xu Sui Road. [No pop-up novel network]
On June 19, the rain slowed down, Wang Xiaohu planned the second part of the disaster relief plan began to start, the 500 registered dragon and tiger martial artists were Wang Xiaohu, Bruce Lee, Sammo Hung, Jackie Chan, Yuan Heping, Yuan Xiangren, Yuan Biao, Chow Yun-fat, Chow Xingchi (substitute) and others led a team to erect the banner of "disaster relief charity performances, rescue compatriots" in various downtown areas of Hong Kong, braved the rain to perform various martial arts, acrobatics, Peking opera on the stage, and sincerely asked all the citizens who stopped to offer their love to the disaster area.
Among all the disaster relief teams, the Kowloon Hotel is particularly lively in front of the door, because there are Wang Xiaohu, Bruce Lee, Yuan Hua and others in charge, with the current appeal of Wang Xiaohu and Bruce Lee, a large number of Hong Kong citizens have come, and such sensational events will naturally attract the participation of media reporters.
The disaster relief charity performance is the prelude to a burst of exciting music, all the people present heard the music that resounded throughout the audience felt grandiose, which made people feel very encouraged, this music was Wang Xiaohu made a special trip to Gu Jiahui's home three nights before the charity performance overnight, Gu Jiahui was suddenly excited after revising the draft, and even called Wang Xiaohu a musical genius to come up with such an appropriate background music, Wang Xiaohu touched his nose with a smile, because the music was plagiarized by him from his previous life, taken from "Soldier Assault" The most classic paragraph ("He's a Pirate").
As we all know, the most memorable line of soldier assault is "Don't abandon, don't give up!" The main reason for plagiarism this time is that the disaster relief charity performance in the 70s is relatively monotonous, and it is the first time I hold such a large-scale event to launch a boutique route, so as to use this background music.
Because of the need for the spirit of cooperation of the regimental flag, Gu Jiahui arranged personnel for rehearsals non-stop, and was desperate to complete the recording of this track before the charity performance.
In the majestic background music, Yuan Hua, who was wearing the costume of the Dragon and Tiger Martial Arts Union, appeared first, and he began to turn his heels non-stop after he appeared, which is his specialty, in fact, every Dragon and Tiger martial artist has a number of unique skills, some people are good at somersaults, but no one in Hong Kong dares to stand up and shout with Yuan Hua, because he can turn 300 heels in a row!
Bruce Lee took the microphone and cheered on the side: "Ah Hua, you have already done 100, and the audience said that if you turn over 200 more, their positive surnames for donations will be higher!" As soon as these words came out, the audience at the scene really moved to the donation box, and Yuanhua seemed to be encouraged, and turned his head even harder.
When Yuan Hua stopped after completing 300 heels in everyone's applause and counting, he was already dizzy and couldn't find the north, thanks to Wang Xiaohu who went up to support him, he said with a solemn expression: "Ah Hua may not be able to eat normally in the next day, all this he has done is for the citizens affected by the disaster in Xiu Mao Ping and Xu Sui Road, please enjoy it next"
The dragon and tiger served as the host, and the dragon and tiger martial artists took out the unique skills at the bottom of the box and spared no effort to perform desperately, winning the warm applause of all the audience present, and the amount of donations also reached a peak with Bruce Lee's appearance, in this charity performance, Bruce Lee only appeared for less than three minutes, respectively, showing everyone the rapid side kick, high leg method and other kicking skills demonstration, after all, it is an idol superstar, when Bruce Lee kicked the strong man out of five or six meters away with a strong side kick (the performance is surnamed quality, it is impossible to break out with all his strength. Applause swept the entire charity performance scene, this is after 70 years of demonstration in the "Happy Tonight" program, Bruce Lee once again showed his super explosive power and Jeet Kune Do in front of the audience, how can you let everyone not go crazy? They chanted Bruce Lee's name and swarmed towards the donation box, giving their greatest love.
Whenever someone donated a large amount of Hong Kong dollars, Wang Xiaohu and Bruce Lee would give their gratitude to those people. The charity performance on the first day had to be terminated because of the sudden strengthening of the rain, and it was not even Wang Xiaohu's turn to appear, which made Bruce Lee cry out and be depressed: "Ah Hu, I would like to know how much money you will raise if you appear today." ”
"Uh, don't worry, I'll let you see the results next time, you know that my appeal may not be worse than yours!" Wang Xiaohu shrugged and said.
"Do you still want to perform nunchucks on stage and sing "I Am Bruce Lee"?"
"No, that kind of crazy action is going to make you tired!" Wang Xiaohu shook his head and said honestly: "The physical exertion of singing and dancing is too great, I want to learn how you can perform a few leg tricks to boost popularity, but that's too tiring!" ”
Bruce Lee was a little disappointed to hear that he no longer performed nunchucks, but he still remembered how amazing the nunchucks were at the premiere of "Raptors Across the River" and how popular they were, "I think fans must want you to perform like that, because that's your specialty!" ”
"Hehe, nunchucks are your signature weapon, and I won't perform them in public." Wang Xiaohu said very seriously, after all, nunchucks were brought to fans all over the world by Bruce Lee, and it was only after Bruce Lee that they set off a nunchucks craze all over the world, and he just gave Bruce Lee the popular things in his previous life, so that he could leave more classic pictures on the screen.
"Hey, brother, what do you want me to say? Really, you don't have to give up your development prospects for me, since your "Righteous Heroes" hit the box office, now most of the Hong Kong people have fully accepted your style, you are now out of my aura, you can stick to your own line, don't"
Bruce Lee's grateful words were interrupted by Wang Xiaohu before he finished speaking, "Brother Xiaolong, if I hadn't met you, I would still be an unknown Dragon and Tiger martial artist, and you taught me Jeet Kune Do without reservation and gave me the opportunity to become famous, when it comes to thanks, I should thank you." ”
This is the first time that the two of them have said these words from the bottom of their hearts, which made both of them feel a little moved, and the love between brothers has become a little deeper.
"Xiaohu, you said a few days ago that Run Run Shaw would come to us to cooperate, but he hasn't sent anyone to talk about this yet." After returning home, Bruce Lee said to Wang Xiaohu with a frown.
Wang Xiaohu smiled, although the current Bruce Lee has been looked down upon in Asia, but he still has a little resentment towards Shaw Brothers in his heart, after all, Run Run Shaw once thought that Bruce Lee was not worth signing a contract, when Bruce Lee defected to Golden Harvest and became an instant hit, Run Run Shaw also showed his intention to cooperate, but he still did not come forward to communicate in person because of some obstacles.
In fact, Wang Xiaohu knew very well that Bruce Lee did not give up the idea of cooperating with a large company like Shaw Brothers, otherwise he would not have seen a lot of photos of Bruce Lee wearing costume auditions in his previous life, I heard that those photos were left on the set of Shaw Brothers, although Bruce Lee was famous at that time, the relationship with Golden Harvest's Luo Wei was deadlocked, and Golden Harvest almost took the means of hiding Bruce Lee, forcing Bruce Lee to start looking for other partners, and Shaw Brothers is his biggest ideal goal, Bruce Lee once worked for Shaw Brothers' "Nian Qianyao" The TV series left dozens of audition photos, and Bruce Lee in the photos was heroic, but unfortunately I don't know why the two sides did not cooperate in filming, which ultimately made many dragon fans feel very regretful.
"Brother Xiaolong, don't be in a hurry, okay? I know you've always wanted to work with Shaw Brothers to increase your development, but now please calm down and be patient, our charity performance today will definitely appear in the headlines of tomorrow's newspapers, and a smart person like Run Run Shaw will definitely take the opportunity to use his TVB to do this kind of public welfare activities, and he will inevitably invite the most famous actors and singers in Hong Kong to join the show, who is the most famous and popular actor in Hong Kong? Isn't that you Bruce Lee? ”
Bruce Lee listened to Wang Xiaohu's analysis, and a smile immediately appeared on his face, pointing at Wang Xiaohu and saying, "Including you, Xiaohu." ”
"Huh." Wang Xiaohu looked at Bruce Lee with a smile and stopped talking, and after a while, Bruce Lee frowned and said, "Xiaohu, you said that if we take the opportunity to obtain a cooperative relationship with the Shaw Brothers, what should we develop?" ”
Wang Xiaohu sighed when he heard this and said, "Actually, I didn't want to cooperate with Shaw Brothers. ”
"Why is that?"
"Quite simply, our goal now should be to maintain the Hong Kong market and set our sights on Hollywood, which is where we can show our strengths, and the future development trend of Hong Kong will also move closer to the TV side, and there will be a few low ebb in the film market." Wang Xiaohu said according to the memories of his previous life: "If you want to shoot a TV series with Shaw Brothers, I am firmly against it!" ”
“why?” Bruce Lee was a little surprised, because he did have this idea in his heart, and when he entered the entertainment industry in Hollywood, he filmed a low-budget TV series like "The Green Hornet", and achieved very good ratings.
"Because your surname determines that you will not let others interfere in the direction of the entire TV, and Shaw Brothers is precisely that stinky temper, so if you want to shoot TV series, you need to set up your own TV company, and then have your own TVB TV station." Wang Xiaohu laughed: "So at this stage, let's make movies well, and when the film market is completely gone, we are thinking about expensive luxury things like TV." ”
