After getting up, Wang Xu practiced Baguazhang outside the tent. 【頂【点【小】【Say,

This set of Baguazhang was learned from Zhang Jin during the filming of "Macau Fengyun", and at that time, in order to shoot action movies, he also invited a martial artist to learn some Shaolin boxing.

He has been practicing Baguazhang for more than a year, and he has gradually realized the benefits, of course, this benefit is only to become healthier. (Note that the main character only practices martial arts for physical exercise, as well as the need to make movies, and the plot of martial arts novels will not appear in the book.) ）

Wang Xu still has some martial arts foundation, which is why he can play the protagonist of "Romance of the Dragon and Snake" Wang Dong's confidence, of course, with his current level of Baguazhang, he can't act, at least he feels that he still lacks a martial artist's temperament.

Soldiers have a temperament of being strong and defending the country, and warriors also have iron bones and integrity. is like Donnie Yen's Ip Man, who is righteous and not afraid of power. Wang Xu felt that he still lacked such a temperament, and pondered to worship a teacher who was Baguazhang for another year and a half.

After paying attention, he made a phone call to Zhang Jin.

"Hey, Sledgehammer, is there anything wrong with calling so early?" Zhang Jin also just got up, and Wang Xu went straight to the point and explained the reason. Zhang Jin understood, patted his chest and said, "Okay, I'll introduce you to a master of Baguazhang." ”

Celebrity apprenticeship is nothing new in the entertainment industry, Tony Leung, Zhang Ziyi, and Zhang Zhenwei filmed Wong Kar-wai's "The Grandmaster", and they all started from a blank sheet of paper, from basic skills to moves, from strength training to flexibility training, from routine training to actual combat training, from "kung fu amateur" to "generation of grandmaster".

Wong Kar-wai invited Mr. Leung Siu-hung, the last disciple of Ip Man, to teach Tony Leung Chiu-wai the boxing theory and display techniques of Wing Chun; Mr. Gong Er, the female grandmaster of the north played by Zhang Ziyi, is the heir of Baguazhang. In order to create Zhang Ziyi, the female grandmaster of the north, Wong Kar-wai successively invited four Baguazhang teachers to teach Zhang Ziyi Baguazhang.

Give the most, work hardest. The hardest working is still Zhang Zhen.

In order to shoot "The Grandmaster", in 2009, Zhang Zhen officially apprenticed, handed over a post, and followed the eighth generation of Bajiquan and the president of the Beijing Bajiquan Association, Mr. Wang Shiquan, who practiced eighth-level boxing for 3 years. To what extent has he practiced, when the movie has not been released, he has already "come out". Zhang Zhen competed with Bajiquan fighters from all over the country in a national Bajiquan competition in Changchun and finally won the first prize.

Wang Xu entrusted the matter of apprenticeship to his good friend Zhang Jin, and after hanging up the phone, he saw Chen He coming with a happy face, and said, "What's the joy of laughing so lewdly?" ”

Chen He smiled: "You guessed it, the ratings of the second episode of our show became popular. ”

It turned out that he was talking about "Run, Brother", and the program became popular since the first episode was broadcast on August 2, and a week has passed, and the number of on-demand views on Youdou has exceeded 30 million. Programs like "Everyday Upward" and "Happy Camp" only have more than 8 million hits a week.

The second episode of the program was broadcast last night, but Wang Xu forgot to pay attention. Asked: "I slept early last night and forgot about it, what are the ratings?" ”

"2.3%, awesome!"

"Huh~~ That's really good."

Wang Xu exclaimed, there are so many variety shows now, and there are no more than 10 in the country whose ratings can break 1, and only "Where Are You Going, Dad", "I Am a Singer" and the first season of "The Voice of China" are broken 2.

After posting a Weibo to congratulate the ratings of the program, Wang Xu and Chen He chatted a few words. Chen He talked about some of his experiences in making movies this time, and he said: "Movies have much higher requirements for actors than TV. The director is very demanding about every detail, and I looked at me three or four times yesterday. ”

Chen He is right, this is the feeling that every TV actor will have when he acts in a movie for the first time. A 30-episode TV series takes three to five months to complete, and it is impossible to be elaborate, and the TV screen is very small, not like a big screen like a movie. Some of the subtle expressions of the actors can be noticed by the audience.

"Speaking of gains, I also learned a lot of acting skills from you, captain, this time." Chen He's words are not deliberate sycophants, he is a comedian, and being able to act with the king of comedy is naturally able to learn something.

Chen He's Yantou is a comedy role, which is easy for him.

Wang Xu patted Chen He on the shoulder. I also admired his talent in comedy performances, and said with a smile: "Don't be modest, have you had breakfast?" ”

"Not yet."

"Then eat it at my place, I brought a soymilk machine, and there is freshly ground soy milk to drink."

"Wow, that's great."

A week has passed, Zhuang Xiaodie's scene has ended, and Wang Xu's scene has some reshoot shots, which are expected to be completed in three days.

On this day, Chen Ruan came and brought good news.

Golden Hammer Film and Television bought the film and television rights of "Romance of the Dragon and Snake" at a price of 2 million, and Wang Xu is still quite satisfied with this price. In 2013, the film and television copyrights of popular online novels have not aroused the interest of major film companies, but the market will completely change next year, and the top 50 novels on the 100 * degree search list, the adaptation rights have been snatched up by various film and television companies, as long as they are on the list, they will be robbed, 2 million is the starting price, and the film and television copyrights of individual well-known authors have been speculated to tens of millions.

Wang Xu felt that it was necessary to take the opportunity to acquire the copyrights of a number of works now, so he made a list, nearly 50 novels, covering fantasy, tomb robbery, science fiction, youth love and other themes, and handed them over to Chen Ruan to bring back to the company, prepared a budget of 100 million yuan, and instructed the company to buy all the copyrights of these novels within half a year.

Anyway, no matter whether you want to shoot it or not, buy the copyright first, and other film companies do the same, such as "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" has long sold the film and television rights, and it was not until 2015 that it really started filming.

Now that the copyright of "Romance of the Dragon and Snake" has been bought, the next one will be adapted into a movie script, Wang Xu's principle is to make some adaptations on the basis of respecting the original work, and the general character plot will not change. He doesn't need to worry about the adaptation of the script, the company now has a strong screenwriting team, and the author will also participate in the adaptation.

One of his jobs is to strengthen his own martial arts training, it is best to worship a master wholeheartedly, targeted training, this time will take at least half a year, without strict practice, he is not sure to perform the spirit of a martial artist.

"Romance of the Dragon and Snake" is not an ordinary martial arts movie that can be fooled by using special effects.

His second job is to find actors, if possible, he wants to gather Jackie Chan, Jet Li, Donnie Yen, the three major kung fu superstars, with Wang Xu's current status and influence, it is not difficult, just to see if there are suitable roles in the script.

Everything has to wait for the script to come out before making a decision.

Three days later, Wang Xu, Zhuang Xiaodie, and Chen He's roles all ended and left the crew of "The Lion of Heaven". Before parting, Wang Xu and Jackie Chan mentioned that he was going to make a kung fu movie, and the eldest brother would help the younger brother.

Jackie Chan patted his chest and agreed, if Wang Xu really wanted to make a kung fu movie, he would definitely help, and Jackie Chan thought that Wang Xu was joking.

Wang Xu didn't reveal much, as long as there was a big brother's words. (To be continued......)
