Chapter 677 Capture Schwarzenegger as the Villain

In a magazine in Hong Kong, two people are arguing fiercely about something.

""Ming Pao" rejected me, "Hong Kong Star" rejected me, "New Star Daily" rejected me, why don't you even help me publish it now?" Mou Jianqiang stared angrily, pointed at the editor-in-chief of the magazine and said loudly: "Ah Zhou, we were good friends back then, I just asked you to publish an article."

"Qiangzi, it's not that I don't help you, it's that the higher-ups have issued a death order!" Editor-in-Chief Zhou explained, "It's not that you don't know that I borrowed a lot of money to start this magazine. The article compensates the magazine!"

"Damn it!" Mou Jianqiang punched the desk, the loud sound startled Editor-in-Chief Zhou.

"Who can tell me why?" Mou Jianqiang growled loudly, and the editor-in-chief Zhou was so frightened by his angry expression that he leaned back and said, "Qiang, I advise you to bear with it."

"Forbearance?" Mou Jianqiang said angrily: "Why should I endure it! I have endured it for ten years, and the Wing Chun School belongs to me!"

"Then how do you fight with Wang Xiaohu? He is currently a big celebrity around the Governor of Hong Kong, and he is also a knight conferred by the Queen of England." Editor-in-Chief Zhou swallowed carefully and said: "This time it is the gag order issued by the Governor of Hong Kong himself. , who dares to publish your article, don’t want to be in the media industry in the future, Qiangzi, listen to me, don’t fight him again!”

"I can't swallow this breath!" Mou Qiangqiang still insisted.
"Hey, Qiangzi, don't mess around!"

"Hmph, coward, I guess I've misjudged you!" Mou Jianqiang threw down these words and slammed the door to leave.

All major newspapers refused to publish Mou Jianqiang's unfair remarks about Wing Chunmen, Wang Xiaohu, etc., which made Mou Jianqiang very angry.

Now that the way of the newspaper office was nowhere to go, Mou Jianqiang began to think of other methods. After thinking about it for a long time, he felt that the only thing he could use was the name of the president of the Wing Chun Sports Association. The masters recounted the old days, let them stand up and comment, talking and talking, let's see who should be the head of this Wing Chun sect.

Who knows that the martial arts gyms that came up to visit, either their masters are away from home, or there are various reasons why they don't see them behind closed doors.

Finally, those martial arts masters who had a good relationship with Mou Jianqiang received him, but when it came to serious matters, those masters either hesitated and refused to express their views, or "Wang Zuo Gu said he" diverted the topic to other aspects .

Mou Qiangqiang got hotheaded and said to a good master: "Master Chen, I didn't come to you today to talk about the weather, nor what kind of tea was brought in by which teahouse, nor about the negotiation between Britain and China. It’s like asking you, if I want to go back to Wing Chun School, would you be willing to speak for me in a fair way?”

Seeing that he couldn't escape, Master Chen sighed depressedly and said, "Qiangzi, in my opinion, Wing Chun School has developed more formally these years, and even some of us old guys are looking forward to a good person like Wang Xiaohu in the school." Disciple, you donate both money and energy, but"

"What do you mean?" Mu Jianqiang asked.

Master Chen blinked, and said to Mou Jianqiang, are you really stupid?What I said couldn't be more clear, don't you understand?Why not force the old man to say so directly?
It is said that people who practice martial arts are full of vigor. That's because they are just beginners, and after mastering kung fu, their self-cultivation and tolerance will gradually improve. Coupled with decades of experience, the masters will speak more tactfully and cautiously.

"Hehe, we were originally from the same root, so why bother with each other? For the sake of our friendship of more than ten years, I advise you to forget it!"

Master Chen tried his best to soften his tone, but Mou Qiangqiang couldn't listen to it. He gave Master Chen a hard look and walked away.

"Idiot! Your cultivation base and bearing are far worse than Wang Xiaohu's, and you still want to be in charge of the Wing Chun sect. Go ahead and dream!" Master Chen watched Mou Jianqiang leave and slandered for a long time, and then began to sigh with emotion: "Hey, I really envy Ye Wen's good disciples, why didn't I have such a good life!"

Then there is no need to ask, those who are close to Mou Qiangqiang all say the same words as Master Chen, and those who have a similar relationship with Mou Qiangqiang directly curse in their hearts, you Wing Chun are none of my business!
Newspapers could not publish it, no one in the martial arts community in Hong Kong was willing to stand up and help, Mou Jianqiang was furious, and when he returned to the hotel where he was staying, he threw the teacup and the wall, how aggrieved and aggrieved!
"Since the newspaper doesn't publish articles, I can print them myself and give them away for free. I want to expose Wang Xiaohu's false mask!"

Mou Jianqiang contacted several small publishing houses and printed [-] copies overnight. Early the next morning, [-] disciples Mou Jianqiang brought from Germany began to distribute "leaflets" in the streets and alleys.

When Mou Jianqiang began to distribute "flyers" all over the street, Wang Xiaohu was having a meeting with Yuan Heping, Hong Jinbao and others at Xiehe Company.

"Sanmao, talk to Liu Jialiang today. If there is no problem with his schedule, ask him to be Hong Quan's consultant for "Ip Man 2."

Now that the script has a preliminary direction, Wang Xiaohu started to make various preparations for "Ip Man 2", adhering to Concord International's consistent fine style, whether it is costume props, cast, martial arts action design must be ready before the start.

The first thing Wang Xiaohu thought of was the martial arts action design. After all, a big gimmick in "Ip Man 2" is "Wing Chun vs. Hong Fist".

Wing Chun is a representative of femininity, while Hong Quan is a representative of rigidity. In the confrontation between rigidity and softness, if the difference between the two is greater, the appreciation of the movie will be greatly improved.

Wang Xiaohu can take charge of Wing Chun alone, but he is not a practitioner of Hong Quan. Almost most of the martial arts instructors in Xiehe International are Wing Chun practitioners. After much deliberation, Wang Xiaohu still decided to hire Liu Jialiang as Hong Quan Consultant to ensure the style of real martial arts.

Moreover, Liu Jialiang is also famous as the third generation descendant of Huang Feihong, and having him as the consultant of Hongquan can bring a lot of box office appeal.

"Liu Jialiang's side." Sammo Hung frowned in embarrassment and said, "Would it be a little difficult to deal with? I'm afraid he will be worried about the "North and South Shaolin" and refuse to join."

Yuan Heping laughed and said, "Sanmao, it should be Ah Hu who is holding on to his heart. I think since Ah Hu gave Liu Jialiang a step down, he should readily agree."

Sammo Hung thought about the same thing, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll call him later."

"Don't contact me by phone, just come to invite me in person." Wang Xiaohu pondered, "In this film, you are the only one who can practice Hongquan, just learn some foreign skills from Liu Jialiang."

"What about me?" Yuan Heping asked.

"Your task is much simpler." Wang Xiaohu said with a slight smile, "When Donnie Yen returns to Hong Kong during the Chinese New Year, you will be in charge of boxing training for him and the boxing champion."

"Boxing?" Yuan Heping was taken aback, as if he felt that this task was a little too easy. Compared with "The Condor Shooting", which took half a year to conceive, boxing is too simple, right?
Wang Xiaohu seemed to guess what he was thinking, squinted his eyes and conceived for a while and said: "How about this, you can contact Hong Kong Baguazhang and Dasheng Piguaquan, and learn kung fu from them for a few days. The title of advisor to Baguazhang and Dasheng Piguaquan."

Yuan Heping shook his head and said, "Ah Hu, there is no need to contact the Great Sage Pi Gua Quan. Did you forget that Chen Guantai and Ren Dahua both learned the Great Sage Pi Gua Quan? Just let them play the roles directly."

"That's right." Wang Xiaohu patted his forehead and said, "Why did I forget about the two of them, let Ren Dahua play, and Chen Guantai hasn't been involved in filming much these years, and his popularity has dropped drastically."

Yuan Heping nodded and hummed, then suddenly frowned and asked, "You just said that there is a boxing champion, who will play the boxing champion? It won't be Stallone who starred in "Rocky" and "First Blood", right?"

Shaking his head with a light smile, Wang Xiaohu said: "It's not him, he is now the great hero of all Americans. If I hit him as the villain in "Ip Man 2", the box office in North America will definitely be affected."

"I think he is very strong, and that dull face is very suitable for playing the villain."

I don't know how Stallone attracted Yuan Heping, but he repeatedly encouraged Stallone to be the villain.

"I already have a candidate for the boxing champion, you should hurry up and implement Baguazhang." Wang Xiaohu said with a smile.

"I'm very curious about who will play the role." Yuan Heping asked with a deadpan face.

Wang Xiaohu had no choice but to say: "Arnold Schwarzenegger, a foreigner you don't know, his body is stronger than Stallone's, and he has been the world's best bodybuilder for several times."

"Oh!" Yuan Heping opened his mouth wide, and a muscular bodybuilder immediately appeared in his mind. He curled his lips and said, "To be honest, I'm really worried about your small physique."

"Hurry up and get out." Wang Xiaohu made a gesture to hit someone, Yuan Heping left with a grin.

Letting Schwarzenegger play the boxing champion is also based on commercial considerations. After all, "Governor Arnold" is now well-known in the American fitness industry, and he is filming "Terminator". Wang Xiaohu, as the main investor of the film, took Schwarzenegger Ge was seconded to focus on filming for two days. It should not delay the shooting progress of "Terminator". Who makes sci-fi blockbusters waste too much time?

Ip Man's family, Ip Man's apprentices, Hong Quan, Ba Gua Zhang, Da Sheng Pi Gua Fist, and Boxing Champion's actors have all been settled, and the rest is to grab a few good-looking actors from Hollywood to guest star police officers , Noble B or something.

The Chinese have played the role of villains in Hollywood for decades, and now they should change their tastes. Letting you foreigners play villains and small roles in Lao Tzu’s movies can be regarded as validating an old saying "30 years in Hedong, 30 years in Hexi ".

In the early 80s, Wang Xiaohu was the only one who dared to promote this concept to the world.
