Chapter 591. Create a Hong Kong version of "Searching for the Buddha"

readx;

It is said that the handsome Li Lianjie with this super "nostalgic" tunic gives people a retro, amazing, and of course, "thunderous" feeling, but the atmosphere of the venue also reached its peak at the same time as Li Lianjie appeared. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Director Xu Xiaoming was very satisfied with the current situation, and smiled and signaled that the staff could ask questions to reporters.

"Mr. Li Lianjie, I am a reporter from Entertainment Weekly, why did you participate in this movie?" A female reporter asked.

It was the first time for Li Lianjie to participate in this kind of Hong Kong-style press conference, and it was inevitable that he was a little nervous, but fortunately, the staff had come up with most of the questions that would be mentioned in advance and wrote the answers to Li Lianjie, so Li Lianjie could barely cope with it.

After clearing his throat, Li Lianjie replied directly in Mandarin: "I was originally a member of the mainland martial arts team, and later started filming "Shaolin Temple", so I embarked on the road of filming. Now that I have come to Hong Kong from the mainland, I feel that I am not only going to film, but also to represent some mainland filmmakers, and I hope you can get to know us and understand us. Of course, the reason why I came to Hong Kong alone and entered the entertainment industry alone was for the purpose of training myself, but I didn't expect to be appreciated by Mr. Chen Xiaotang and director Xu Xiaoming, giving me the opportunity to play such an important role. I would like to thank them and I will definitely do my best to play this role well. ”

After Li Lianjie finished answering, Director Xu Xiaoming said: "Let me insert a sentence, the reason why we chose Li Lianjie to play the leading role is entirely because he completely meets my requirements." I'm sure Applejack will play this role well, and I have a lot of confidence in him. ”

"Mr. Li Lianjie, I am a reporter from "Film New Weekly", will there be a lot of pressure on you to come to Hong Kong for the first time to play the second male lead and play opposite Miss Wang Zuxian?"

"Do you like to eat fish balls from Hong Kong?"

"What do you think of Hong Kong?"

"Do you hate certain Hong Kong directors?"

"What do you think about the difference in pay between mainland and Hong Kong actors?"

Li Lianjie on the stage finally understood the power of Hong Kong reporters today, and the questions they raised were simply varied. If Li Lianjie hadn't prepared in advance, he really wouldn't have been able to cope with it. But fortunately, with the assistance of Chen Xiaotang and Xu Xiaoming, Li Lianjie did not make a fool of himself in public.

At the end of the press conference, Li Lianjie, such a tough person, couldn't help but wipe a cold sweat secretly.

The day after the opening ceremony, major entertainment newspapers, magazines and other news media reported on the "Jingwu Hero" starring Chen Xiaotang, and for a time Chen Xiaotang and the entire crew received widespread attention from people from all walks of life.

Especially as a mainland kung fu star who came to Hong Kong alone. Li Lianjie showed his tough side as a martial arts practitioner very well. Therefore, he has also become the most concerned figure in the entire crew after Chen Xiaotang, and his popularity even exceeds that of Wang Zuxian, the "Queen of Gossip" in this paragraph.

In addition, Chen Xiaotang intentionally or unintentionally helped him get ahead and help him expose, and Li Lianjie's own image as a mainland kung fu student is very popular, so Magic Shadow Entertainment perfectly completed the purpose of hyping the movie with Li Lianjie. And Li Lianjie has also gathered a lot of popularity in the Hong Kong film industry. The film has just started filming, and it has received strong support and attention from people......

October 8, 1984.

The filming site of the Magic Shadow Entertainment kung fu drama "Jingwu Heroes".

The first opening scene:

In the classroom of the Japanese school, Chen Zhen defeated many Black Dragon Society minions with the power of one person. Chen Zhen should use the grappling in Chinese kung fu---- which is often mentioned in martial arts novels.

In the martial arts design that Yuan Heping made for the whole movie in his previous life, the characteristics of "fighting fast and slow" in Chen Zhen's kung fu were very prominent, and the fighting at the beginning was also very prominent. The movements are simple and smooth, and the fight with everyone is only a second or two, and it is immediately subdued, which is simply the "Ku Ding Jie Niu" in martial arts.

But after all, it was a movie version of the previous life, and now starring Chen Xiaotang. Cheng Xiaodong is the martial arts instructor, Xu Xiaoming is the director, everything is different.

First of all, as a director, Xu Xiaoming feels that since it is the beginning of a play, it is necessary to highlight the character and characteristics of the characters. What is Chen Zhen's personality? It is jealousy and hatred, and patriotism. His characteristic is that his kung fu is first-class, especially not confined to Chinese ~ traditional martial arts, and he is good at actual combat.

As an action director, Cheng Xiaodong has always focused on action shooting chic and elegant, which is different from the weird and sharp Yuan Baye in his previous life. Therefore, there is a conflict with Xu Xiaoming in the design of this scene.

Both of them are practitioners, Xu Xiaoming has the stunts of the northern faction, and Cheng Xiaodong is a master of the southern faction. When the two argued, they compared the martial arts of the northern and southern factions.

This one says that the northern school pays attention to leg skills, and the other says that the southern school pays attention to boxing techniques; The one who said that the northern school of martial arts opened and closed widely, and the momentum was extraordinary, and the other said that the southern school of kung fu showed up smoothly and smartly, and it was wonderful.

In short, neither of the two will let anyone, and no one can compete with each other.

Seeing the two arguing, Chen Xiaotang only felt very depressed.

These two are talents, but I forgot that as long as they are talents, they have a habit of being arrogant. I tied two cattle to a chariot, and it was strange if nothing happened.

There was no way, Chen Xiaotang, as the leading actor, had to stand up and mediate, saying: "You all have a point, but the kung fu film we asked for was about breaking the original martial arts, so whether it is northern kung fu or southern martial arts, we only take the essence and discard the bad." We want to pursue the coexistence of power and speed, and we want to present our unique style of Magic Shadow Entertainment on the action screen......"

Xu Xiaoming glared at the bull's eye: "What do you mean by this?" ”

Cheng Xiaodong: "It's too fancy to understand." ”

Chen Xiaotang had no choice but to cough twice and said: "For example, Jiahe has Cheng Long's playful play, Xinyicheng has Xu Guanjie's agent-style gameplay, and Debao has Hong Jinbao's iron bridge hard horse exercises, and we have to break through their route and design kung fu moves that only belong to our Shadow Entertainment." ”

Xu Xiaoming looked at Cheng Xiaodong, Cheng Xiaodong looked at him, and the two said together: "We still don't understand!" ”

Chen Xiaotang urged sadly, he understood what it meant to play the piano to the cow, and he couldn't wait to say: "You knock each other out, and whoever wins will listen to whomever you want." Trying to suppress his emotions that he wanted to burst, Chen Xiaotang said: "What I mean is already very clear. It is to combine martial arts with actual combat, giving people a visual enjoyment of fists to the flesh! ”

"Isn't it just the real thing, you said earlier, go around in such a big circle!"

"That's it, why are you doing so many literary and artistic styles? Just tell the truth and it's OK! The two who were originally noisy stood on a united front. Chen Xiaotang suddenly felt very painful.

Next, according to the new ideas given by Chen Xiaotang, this scene was designed and filmed with the rhythm of "real fighting".

This time, those dragon and tiger martial artists are hard, you must know that Chen Xiaotang's fists and feet are first-class. But the kung fu of these people is not top-notch. Even if they do it well in the first place. Laying iron sheets, hiding bandages, and even putting the inside of his clothes like mummies, but under Chen Xiaotang's solid fists and feet, this group of men has completely become a group of "easily injured men"!

Chen Xiaotang flew out with a punch, and he screamed alone. Fall to the ground!

Chen Xiaotang kicked out, and one person swished and flew out upside down!

Chen Xiaotang's fist didn't move yet. There were some scared actors who were "Ah, I'm dead!" He just lay on the ground with a pop.

Chen Xiaotang was speechless, you said. How can you continue to shoot like this?!

There's no way, who calls him too "cruel" in this style of play, there is no such "play" of him in the entire film industry.

In the words of these hard-working actors, "This is not filming, this is terrible!" ”

For a little money. You can't fight like this.

There was no way, Chen Xiaotang had no choice but to increase their salaries, hoping that this would stimulate their fighting spirit and really start fighting with themselves in the play.

originally thought that there would be brave men under the heavy reward, but those actors are not fools, damn, who are fooling, the money added is not even enough for medical expenses!

Director Xu Xiaoming frowned, action designer Cheng Xiaodong hugged his arms, and photographer Du Kefeng held a cigarette in his mouth, looking at this group of "actors" who were bargaining and unwilling to start work.

And Chen Xiaotang, as the leading actor and boss, is even more helpless, he doesn't understand, why don't these people have the slightest "professionalism". Chen Xiaotang remembers clearly that in his previous life, he watched a Thai film called "Searching for Buddha", which is the work of the famous Thai action superstar Tony Ja, it is said that in order to shoot this play, Tony Ja almost fought with all the action actors in the play, and many actors were seriously injured because of this; In its sequel "Tom Yum Gong", it is rumored that some action actors took the initiative to ask for mercy in the fight for the authenticity of the shooting, and the breaking of hands and feet often happens, and the cruel competition between each other has won the applause of audiences all over the world.

Of course, Chen Xiaotang is not so "cruel", and requires these actors to be beaten hard until they break their arms and legs. In Chen Xiaotang's view, he just wants to shoot this scene more realistically, and in some actions, these actors need to make a little sacrifice cooperatively and suffer a little bit of flesh and skin. But I didn't expect that these people would react so much, without the slightest awareness of being "actors", and kept bargaining, but there was a taste of "taking advantage of the opportunity to blackmail" and "ripping off bamboo".

The spitting bargaining continued.

Suddenly, "Fuck you!" I've added so much money to you, and you still don't want to do it, what the hell are you going to do? Xu Xiaoming had a bad temper and couldn't help scolding.

"What's the use of adding more money? We're here to film, not to be beaten! If you want any real effect, you will beat us all over the body, which is too inhumane! ”

"Yes, although we are dragons, we are also human beings, you abuse us like this, beware of us going to the Film Association to sue you!"

"What kind of bullshit drama is this, don't shoot it!" ……

These actors were coaxed for a while, and they were about to get up and leave.

"Okay, can I call you your own father?" Xu Xiaoming, a rough man, is in a hurry, how can he film without these actors, "Even if you guys help, finish filming this scene, OK?" ”

"Okay, you bird, unless each of you gives me a 10,000 yuan increase, maybe we Haikou will consider staying!" The dragon lions opened their mouths.

"Yes, if it doesn't rise by 10,000, we won't do it, you can find someone else!"

"Haha, I guess you can't find anyone except us!" ……

As mentioned earlier, the quality of Hong Kong's dragon and tiger martial artists is very complicated, and to put it bluntly, the quality of these people is almost the same as those who come out on the street. Everyone has been in the circle for a long time, and some old oilers have appeared. I just want to make more money but I don't want to do more.

This time, the filming of "Jingwu Heroes" started in a hurry, and it was originally possible to select some dragon and tiger martial artists, but these people had to be used. Now that the trouble is out, this group of people is picking on the scene, threatening not to do it and talk to the crew.

At this moment, these dragon and tiger martial artists looked at Chen Xiaotang, Xu Xiaoming and others with contempt, especially in their opinion, that Chen Xiaotang was such a big name. I must be able to squeeze a lot of oil and water out of him. They've been doing this for so long. understands the psychology of these people the most, and if they are in a hurry to film, they will agree to any conditions. Well, when they agree to this condition, they will take a few pictures with them, and then stop raising the price. It is also possible to make hundreds of thousands or even millions more for a play, quack quack!!

At this moment, the situation is very clear, and the initiative is in the hands of this group of dragon and tiger martial artists. If the crew doesn't agree to their conditions, then this scene will not be filmed, and the first scene of the new play will be messed up. This does not bode well, especially for Hong Kong, which is praying to God for a start-up. Secondly, venue rental, actor announcement. And all other miscellaneous goods and preparations will also be in vain, and the losses will definitely be much greater.

Could it be that you can only agree to the demands of this group of "scoundrels"?!

Seeing that Chen Xiaotang and the others were forced to be helpless, and were about to open their mouths to agree to the conditions they talked about, suddenly, a voice said: "Ah Tang, let them go, I'm here!" As he spoke, he saw the "big villain" of this play, Zhou Bili, coming with a group of people from his martial arts hall.

Chen Xiaotang was surprised.

Xu Xiaoming was stunned.

Everyone else was dumbfounded.

What do you mean, are you here to kick the field, or are you here to help boxing?! How can you bring so many people?!

But soon everyone understood.

"Ah Tang, these are all students of my martial arts hall, I heard that you were filming here, so I came to visit, I didn't expect to meet this group of bastards who were taking the opportunity to blackmail!"

"What do you say about blackmail or not, keep your mouth clean!" A Dragon Tiger Martial Master roared.

Zhou Bili glared at the other party fiercely, that guy was like a mouse, and he tightened his neck with a whoosh, you must know that Zhou Bili is a famous Chinese boxing champion in Hong Kong, not to mention how powerful his fist is, just say that his appearance is fierce enough. It's strange to stare at them so fiercely that you don't scare some timid people down.

"Okay, Ah Tang, don't negotiate with these miscellaneous people, see it, the group of people I brought are all good hands, just to help you film!" Zhou Bili patted his chest and said.

Chen Xiaotang was surprised, looking at the students in the martial arts hall, their eyes were hot, and they were inexplicably excited, and some even began to rub their fists and palms, as if they were in a hurry to fight.

In fact, these people are really excited, first, it is not easy to meet the big star Chen Xiaotang, not to mention that they can play against him; Second, I heard Master Zhou Bili say that this drama is going to be released in Hong Kong, and when the time comes, my family will not be proud to death when they see themselves? !

Therefore, these martial arts hall students desperately hope that Chen Xiaotang can agree to Master Zhoubili's words, come on, ebaby, let's die of addiction!

Being an actor is a dream for many people.

Especially for those who practice martial arts, Bruce Lee is his idol.

Bruce Lee has acted in "Jingwumen", and now if they can join "Jingwu Heroes", it can be regarded as a tribute to their idols.

Chen Xiaotang looked at Zhou Bili, in addition to being grateful at the moment, he still dared to take it, what is called "sending charcoal in the snow"? That's it!

Those dragon and tiger martial artists didn't expect that the beautiful things that were already ironclad were ruined by this group of martial arts apprentices who suddenly appeared, and they were angry in their hearts, and they wanted to PK with them and let out a bad breath; But seeing a "fierce god" like Zhou Biri, these guys still retreated, so they had to put a cannon in their mouths and say: "Okay, you guys are good, let's see!" ”

Zhou Biri shook his fist, "What's the noise?!" If you don't go, I'll break your legs! ”

Whoa, those guys jumped faster than rabbits, and they didn't have any demeanor and momentum.

No one thought that what was originally a noisy incident would be resolved so dramatically. Chen Xiaotang hugged his fist at Zhou Bili and said, "Thank you, Master Zhou!" ”

"Haha, thank you for what, besides, I also have a part in this play, so it's all my own family, what's polite!"

At this time, Chen Xiaotang can be regarded as seeing Zhou Bili's boldness and heroism, in his previous life, Chen Xiaotang did not have a good impression of this gentleman, because the other party always played some big villains and villains, and he looked fierce.

Especially Chen Xiaotang remembers clearly that this gentleman performed a movie with Guan Lijie, called "Blood Splash Red Light ~ Zone". In the movie, Guan Lijie plays a convulsive patient who falls in love with a young lady, and Zhou Bili is a loan shark. Zhou Bili forced Guan Lijie's father to jump from the stairs, and the day he died was his father's birthday, Guan Lijie and her girlfriend bought a cake for his father...... Later, in this play, Lao Zhou was very beastly ~ raped Guan Lijie's girlfriend, pressed the heroine on the table, and did it in front of many people.

This is not the end, this guy even caught the male protagonist in a frenzy, and in front of the male protagonist, he found a huge ugly beggar and roared "Emperor Superstar" on the stage, only to see the drugged ugly beggar drooling profusely, and walked towards the heroine step by step with his teeth and claws...... The actor shouted heartbreakingly on the side: "Let go of her, don't!" ”

Chen Xiaotang remembered this scene deeply, so he hated the villain Zhou Bili to the core. Think this guy is also a big villain. But now Chen Xiaotang knows that people can't be good-looking, the sea can't be measured, those who look vicious are not necessarily bad people, and those who are good-looking are not necessarily good people.
