Chapter 285: Finalizing a New Script

The entire set of "The Lion of the Heavens" has become a busy workshop. ∏∈ ∏∈ the top ∏∈ ∏∈ said,

Jackie Chan is worthy of the title of "big brother", he has always been "idle" on the set, he is everywhere, he not only patiently guides the actors' martial arts movements and performance details, but also cares about everyone's clothing, food, housing and transportation in the crew.

Among them, Wang Xu was quite moved to see a detail, Jackie Chan saw that if there was garbage such as melon skin paper towels on the ground, he would pick it up one by one and throw it into the trash can. Therefore, although the set is full of yellow sand, there is no garbage discarded at will, and many crews can't do this.

Wang Xu had been staying by his wife's side, accompanying her to rehearse the script, and seeing that Jackie Chan was busy alone, he took the initiative to help him share some work.

The most complicated work is actually to guide the extras, not only there are many people, but also from all over the world, Wang Xu walked over and heard more than ten languages including Chinese, Cantonese, Turkish, English, French, etc. It was quite difficult for the staff to communicate with them, communicate and manage, so Wang Xu used to act as a translator for several martial arts instructors in the family class, and translated their words to foreign actors.

Sometimes Wang Xu doesn't forget his funny nature, and says a few jokes to liven up the atmosphere.

Jackie Chan also came over and said, "What are you all laughing at?" ”

Wang Xu joked: "These foreign friends want to see Chinese kung fu, big brother, you can compare two tricks!" ”

"Okay!" Jackie Chan is also a humorous person, he took a wooden stick and played a set of "drunk guns", only to see the eldest brother shooter vigorous, and an ordinary wooden stick dancing in his hand.

"Okay, wonderful!" Everyone applauded, but soon the eldest brother changed his routine and acted like a drunk person. Staggered, and his expression became charming, and the last finishing action was a mischievous pouting of his ass to everyone.

Everyone burst out laughing.

Wang Xu applauded and said: "Seeing my eldest brother with such a wonderful drunken gun, I also have itchy hands, and I will also perform a phaseless magic skill that can resist the wind and sand, do you want to see it." Do you want to learn? ”

Even Jackie Chan was curious about what kind of powerful stunt the phaseless magic skill that can resist the wind and sand, and when everyone saw Wang Xu dancing and doing a full style, the result was to cover his face with a headscarf, and he couldn't help laughing.

In this kind of set where there is no store in front of the village, and there is a barren desert around it, I can only relieve myself of boredom.

As time went by, the temperature got higher and higher, and what was worse was that the weather was completely uncontrollable when filming in the desert. Sometimes it's morning. Sometimes in the afternoon, as soon as the wind and sand came, I heard the tent sizzling, and I couldn't catch it, and it was all swept away in the blink of an eye, and everyone was tossed until they were exhausted every day.

The entire crew of seven or eight hundred people is fully armed, and when there is no wind, only two eyes are shown outside, because the crew has more than 100 war horses. Once you run, even if there is no wind, it will be enough for everyone to drink a pot.

By the time of the third day of shooting. Four or five extras suffered from heat stroke in a row, which interrupted the filming process for a while. But everyone has no complaints, because Jackie Chan, Wang Xu and other stars are all boiling, and they are not complaining.

During the day, the crew is an "incinerator", and at night the temperature plummets. Cover yourself with a quilt when you sleep. After a tiring day, the actors were all nested in their respective tents at night, not wanting to go anywhere, and there was nowhere to go outside.

Wang Xu made two cups of milk tea and one for his wife. Drink a glass to yourself. These days, he really does the duty of an assistant, takes care of his wife, fans her when it is hot, has water at any time when he is thirsty, and massages him when he is tired. So with his company, although the weather was bad, it didn't affect Zhuang Xiaodie's happy mood.

The wind and sand raging at night finally stopped, the tent finally stopped, Wang Xu finished drinking milk tea and lay in the quilt and made a phone call to Chen Ruan in the company.

"Ruan Ruan, are you resting?"

"Not yet, is Jackie Chan's crew fun?"

"It's on the set in the desert, you say?"

After a few words of greeting, Wang Xu got down to business and said: "Ruan Ruan, tell you one thing, you still have an impression of the novels you mentioned last time, one of them is called "Romance of the Dragon and Snake", the author is called Dream into the Divine Machine, and your task is to buy the film and television copyright of this work." ”

These days, Wang Xu has been pondering his new films, listing several novels such as "Breaking the Sky", "Devouring the Starry Sky", "Romance of the Dragon and Snake", "Buddha is the Way", "Panlong", "Douluo Continent", "Covering the Sky" and so on.

After weighing the pros and cons, he gave priority to "Romance of the Dragon and Snake". This novel shows a splendid world of national arts.

Guoshu refers to traditional Chinese martial arts. It is also an honorific title for martial arts, highlighting its importance of strengthening the body and defending the country. There is another saying about Guoshu: martial arts that only kill the enemy and do not perform are called Guoshu.

In 1927, Zhang Zhijiang, a member of the National Political and Legal Committee, initiated by Feng Yuxiang, Yu Youren, Cai Yuanpei and others, and founded the Guoshu Research Museum with Nanjing, saying that "the establishment of the Guoshu Museum was originally a passion for saving the country, in order to strengthen the country, and follow the people's national art." In 1928, it was renamed Nanjing Central Guoshu Museum, and the word "Guoshu" appeared for the first time, and it was used in the background.

"Only kill the enemy, do not perform the martial arts" here the so-called killing of the enemy refers to the killing of little devils, in the period of national crisis emerged a large number of singing and crying martial artists, among which there are historical records of the top ten martial arts masters of the Republic of China are: Sun Lutang, Li Jinglin, Li Shuwen, Shang Yunxiang, Zhang Ce, Du Xinwu, Liu Baichuan, Li Yaochen, Han Muxia, Wang Ziping.

Most people on this list have never heard of it, and Wang Xu didn't know it before, but after watching "Romance of the Dragon and Snake", he was interested in checking some information.

Among the masters of Chinese martial arts, many viewers know Huo Yuanjia, Ip Man, Guangdong Ten Tigers, Huang Feihong and others through film and television works, but very few people know the characters in this list.

For example, the audience who knows Sun Lutang doesn't know much. But among the people in the martial arts circle, almost everyone knows Sun Lutang's name, and compared with Sun Lutang's skills, Ip Man, Huo Yuanjia and others are almost like fists and legs.

It is said that Chinese kung fu cannot be separated from the word "martial saint". During the Three Kingdoms period, Guan Yu was called the "Martial Saint" by later generations, and Guan Yu was brave and good at killing immediately. Green Dragon Knife, Red Rabbit Horse. At that time, there was almost no one to beat! Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, and Lu Bu's martial arts are not inferior to Guan Yu, and Guan Yu can win the title of "Martial Saint" not only because of his bravery, but because of his loyalty and righteousness! Guan Yu's life is a life of failure. However, after Guan Yu's death, he was presented with the god of "Martial Saint" by the rulers of later generations.

In modern China, there is also a person who is called "martial saint" by the Japanese, and this person is Sun Lutang, a legendary figure in the modern Chinese martial arts world.

It is a pity that such a first person in martial arts is not seen in film and television dramas, Wang Xu is also with Jackie Chan and his family class every day these days, seeing them practicing martial arts and rehearsing martial arts, I feel that I want to move this novel "Romance of the Dragon and Snake" on the screen.

His purpose is not to transform into a kung fu superstar, but to make an excellent movie for the audience, and to let the national audience know that in the long history of our history, there is still a group of national masters who "only kill the enemy, not perform", and they should not be forgotten.

(Today and tomorrow, there is only one chapter updated in these two days, and my little nephew plays at my house on the weekend, and the computer dominates the little one.) (To be continued......)
