new kung fu king

Chapter 461

Since his debut, Wang Xiaohu has left a very deep impression on Hong Kong citizens: he will always be a pioneer in the field of film. The second most popular character in the biweekly special survey, the first of course belongs to Bruce Lee.

But most of the viewers who took the survey responded in this way: "Ip Man" is better than "Fist of Fury". As for why it is better, there are various reasons, but many people agree that "Ip Man" is good!Beat the air!So in the past few years, "Ip Man" has been screened more times than "Jing Fu Men", and the cumulative box office in Hong Kong alone has exceeded 3000 million Hong Kong dollars, and it has always occupied the dominance of the box office since the opening of Hong Kong. The cumulative box office of "Wumen" is only 800 million.

As for the Tangshan he shaped before, and the Ahu he shaped later, although the cumulative box office of the two films ranks among the top ten in the overall list, they still cannot surpass the image of "Ip Man".

Wang Xiaohu starred in three films, which became popular in the two fields of Kung Fu films and urban fashion films in the early Republic of China. There is also a popular TV series "Jing Fu Men", which was recently brought out by TVB to compete with Jiayi. When TVB's ratings were in crisis, Fang Yat-hua asked people to rebroadcast "Fist of Fury", from three episodes a day to now one episode every two weeks, it became the treasure of TVB's dominance in ratings.

Now, Wang Xiaohu is marching into ancient costume martial arts movies again. Judging from the promotional posters and TVB trailers, this time Wang Xiaohu is based on the recently filmed "Hong Xi Guan" as the prototype. Fans who pioneered new genres and styles of films were somewhat disappointed.

When interviewed by reporters, Wang Xiaohu said with a smile: "How can there be so many innovations in this world? The so-called innovation is to add unique things on the basis of the predecessors. As long as these things make you feel fresh and new, then It is the factor of box office success, which is what people often say is new wine in old bottles."

What Wang Xiaohu said is true. Except for a very few genres in the film industry, subsequent films are all refined in detail according to these genres. For example, the most popular Kung Fu movies nowadays, the earliest There were no kung fu movies at that time, but ancient costume martial arts movies. Before that, Peking opera was the main opera. Many martial arts movies in the silent film era were mainly Peking opera. In the later stage, talents such as Zhang Cheh and Hu Jinquan formalized, entertained and commercialized it.

After all, it is inseparable from this model to investigate its source, but Wang Xiaohu's concept is not approved by most people. Many people have begun to think that Wang Xiaohu is at the end of his rope.

More people think that Wang Xiaohu has begun to learn to be cautious. After all, everyone knows that Wang Xiaohu sneaked around the mainland for a month when his career was at its peak last year. It happened that the Tangshan earthquake happened at that time. This time I invested no less than [-] million yuan in the mainland, but ended up losing all my money, and even got banned by Taiwan. In addition, the Xiehe Film and Television City and the Xiehe Film Academy are being built. The cost has gone, even if the Xiehe company is making money Rake, can't help Wang Xiaohu spoiling like a prodigal.

So this group of people believed that Wang Xiaohu had ruined his family business. Some people even speculated that Wang Xiaohu was on the verge of bankruptcy. Anyway, there were all kinds of rumors in the market. How about making a genre movie that others made badly?
Of course, there are also a group of people who don't think so, because judging from the lineup of posters and trailers, "Hong Xiguan" this time includes three generations of very prosperous actors, old, middle-aged and young, from the old drama bones Yu Suqiu, Qin Pei, Xie Xian , the backbone Wang Xiaohu, Pan Yingzi, Wu Mengda, young actors Zhou Xingchi, Andy Lau, etc., can be regarded as a luxurious lineup in any movie, especially in the poster or trailer, there is a strange little actor named Jet Li who plays a special role many.

Jet Li is the stage name given to Li Zhengdong by Wang Xiaohu, and when the name was chosen, Jin Yong also brought his eldest son Cha Chuanxia to visit.

"Jianjie is a good name. He has won the title of martial arts champion many times in a row. It is an outstanding representative. Very good." Jin Yong nodded repeatedly, "But I also have a name for him."

"Oh? What's your name?" Wang Xiaohu asked with a smile.

"Li Yangzhong." Jin Yong smiled and nodded. (According to the information, Jin Yong's name for Jet Li is indeed Li Yangzhong, and this is not a random fabrication.)
"Wonderful Hero Wang Chongyang?" Wang Xiaohu frowned, and asked with a strange expression: "I still want to remember that Wang Chengyang is called Zhongshentong, old Dou, your name is really vulgar!"

Jin Yong's expression froze, embarrassment, a rare embarrassment for this master of martial arts.Obviously, Jin Yong was lazy this time, but was caught by Wang Xiaohu.After coughing hard, he changed the subject and said, "Xiaohu, I have to thank you for your help this time. Chuanxia, ​​why don't you come over and thank your big brother?"

Wang Xiaohu had noticed Zha Chuanxia a long time ago, but he was not sure of his name at first, but now he heard the word Chuanxia, ​​and smiled happily.

why are you laughing?Because Zha Chuanxia is still standing in front of him, it shows that Jin Yong followed his advice a year ago and worked hard to improve the communication with his son. A "A Lang's Story" can make a martial arts master Avoiding the tragedy of life, it's no wonder Wang Xiaohu is unhappy!
"Brother, thank you for "A Lang's Story". It's very timely and beautiful." Zha Chuanxia is not as heroic as his name literally says, but he speaks more like a gentle scholar. He is two years younger than Wang Xiaohu , Naturally called Big Brother.

"It's just a movie, it's nothing." Wang Xiaohu patted Zha Chuanxia's shoulder with a smile and said, "Young people should think more about the elderly sometimes. After all, you are the eldest son that Laodou loves the most. There are some things that don't satisfy you, and you should also be considerate."

"Brother is right." Zha Chuanxia accepted the education humbly.

Wang Xiaohu looked at Jin Yong again, saw that he was looking at this side with a smile on his face, and said immediately: "Old Dou, you are so lucky, my new film "Hong Xiguan" is also based on the relationship between father and son. Don't forget to watch it then."

"That's natural, that's natural!" Jin Yong laughed and said, "I just like watching your movies. Although sometimes the smell of copper is too strong, there are many touching truths reflected in it."

During the whole process, Jet Li sat obediently and listened. Apart from adoration, he had no other words to describe his mood at this time.

Huang Zhan and Gu Jiahui finally rushed to produce the background music of "A Man Should Be Self-Reliant" before the film was completed. Due to the rush of time, this song adapted from "General Order" was not perfect, at least Huang Zhan repeated it when he sent the sample. I apologize to Wang Xiaohu, saying that the lyrics part has not been filled out yet, who asked Wang Xiaohu to give a big problem?
Wang Xiaohu smiled and said nothing, this matter is really embarrassing for Lao Huang, but the sample music of "A Man Should Be Self-Reliant" is still good, except for some discrepancies with the memory, it basically maintains the original style.Wang Xiaohu picked up a pen and revised a few places, and sent it directly to Xia Houmo, the music department in charge of Xiehe.

"Follow this tune and play it at the fastest speed, and I'll listen to it." Wang Xiaohu's words were like a war, and Xia Houmo naturally didn't dare to neglect, and it took less than a quarter of an hour to gather people and horses to get familiar with the tune.

Huang Zhan looked aside with his arms folded and said, "Xiao Hu, when did you have such a capable female disciple?"

"Student? Brother Zhan, this is my employee!" Wang Xiaohu rolled his eyes and said, "It's Linda's friend, a music student who returned from studying in the United States, and has worked in our company for four or five years. He is very talented in music."

"Oh? Even more proficient than you?" Huang Zhan asked, blinking gossipy eyes.

"Isn't this nonsense? He is a professional and I am an amateur. There is no comparison." Wang Xiaohu laughed.

Huang Zhan nodded vigorously, and suddenly asked: "Is she married? Looking at this little butt that twists, she must be a young girl. Does she have a boyfriend?"

"." Wang Xiaohu stared, swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said, "Brother Zhan, don't you think so?"

"No?" Huang Zhan snorted.

"Okay! Okay! You are welcome, I wish you success!"

Wang Xiaohu wished he could give in, which made Huang Zhan a little surprised, and wondered if there was something strange here. At this moment, there was a burst of music from Xiao Zhan in the recording studio. And a little bit of inspiration.

When the music progressed to one tenth, Huang Zhan suddenly realized, "This, isn't this the song I sent just now, you modified it?"

"Yeah! Is there something wrong?" Wang Xiaohu asked. Just now he had been savoring with his eyes closed, and he always felt that there was something missing. It was a bit dry to directly use it in Hong Wending's victory over the fourth group of Shaolin. He was thinking about how to improve it. , was suddenly interrupted by Huang Zhan.

"This is completely different from what you asked for!" Huang Zhan said.

"Hehe, if you don't modify it well, it doesn't match the theme of the film." Wang Xiaohu explained with a wry smile. "A Man Should Be Self-Reliant" is a sunny and exciting song, while "Hong Xiguan" seems a bit quack in terms of overall style. Xiao Sha's breath, if you don't modify it, you can't use it directly.

"Then, shall I continue to fill in the lyrics?" Huang Zhan sighed and said, "You bastard left after leaving a question, can't you give me some hints?"

"Facing thousands of waves with arrogance, blood is like the red sun." Wang Xiaohu opened his mouth and sang the beginning of the two lines eloquently.

"Go on, why is it gone?" Just the beginning of the two sentences already gave Huang Zhan a taste. He is a master of professional lyric writing. Although the fourteen characters are short, they vividly interpret the masculine and passionate aura. He was enjoying it, but Wang Xiaohu stopped singing. How could Huang Zhan agree to it?

"It's gone! I didn't think about it, you can deal with it later, I trust you!" Wang Xiaohu said casually, and then ran to Xia Houmo to discuss the revision.
