Chapter 701 The Kidnapping Case

On April 4, teachers from several Hong Kong colleges and universities including the Chinese University and the Institute of Science and Technology formed a BJ visiting group. According to the reporter's interview, they came to Beijing to discuss the return of Hong Kong with the mainland.

This is the first visit to Beijing organized by the Hong Kong region, and the main team consists of the second batch of college students and teachers born in Hong Kong after World War II. Their behavior fully demonstrates the importance the citizens attach to Hong Kong's return.

Immediately after the new Hong Kong governor Youde took office, the director of the Hong Kong branch of Xinhua News Agency, Xu, was active in various public places in Hong Kong, and conducted a public questionnaire survey of Hong Kong residents, hoping to obtain Hong Kong people's expectations, concerns and other matters about the return of Hong Kong.

The outside world is buzzing, and the crew of "Ip Man 2" in Victoria Harbor is also in full swing.

Under Wang Xiaohu's full encouragement, Donnie Yen's role has completed 80%, more than half of the original schedule.

If it is filmed according to the original version, there are not many roles played by Donnie Yen as Huang Liang, and it can be done in a week if it is exhausted. However, after Wang Xiaohu adapted the script six times, the role of this role has increased a lot. Compared with the original version Also plump a lot.

"John, I will return Daniel to you tomorrow?" Wang Xiaohu discussed the schedule with Wu Yusen, who came to visit the theater every day.

Wu Yusen nodded with a wry smile: "Okay, anyway, the rest of "Seraphim" are all emotional scenes, there is not much difference between filming in Hong Kong or the United States, but I have to trouble the boss to ask Cameron for a leave."

In fact, when Wu Yusen directed "Seraph" in the United States, he also served as the martial arts instructor of "Terminator". Cameron valued Wu Yusen's excellent gun design in "First Blood", so when the film was shot, he found Wang Xiaohu dragged Wu Yusen away.

Anyway, John Woo is also going to film in the United States. Wang Xiaohu agreed without even thinking about it. It is also necessary to increase exchanges between John Woo and major American directors. After all, Cameron is not well-known yet, and being a partner with John Woo is crucial to future development. A great help.

"OK, these are not problems!" Wang Xiaohu said with a smile: "There is one more thing, "Seraphim" is coming to an end. When you have time, start preparing for "The True Colors of Heroes."

"Is it ready to start the machine?" Wu Yusen looked excited, clenched his right fist and slammed on the table, saying, "I've waited for many years, if I don't start the machine again, I will almost suffocate!"

"There's nothing you can do if you're in a hurry, you have to wait for the right time and the right person!" Wang Xiaohu said.

The right time is when the news of Hong Kong's handover has caused all kinds of panic in Hong Kong. Hong Kong people are caught in various speculations, worries, and confusion about the future. The environment must match to resonate with the audience. stone.

The right person is Leslie Cheung. Now Leslie Cheung was discovered by Lifeng Records. It took Long Zichen two years to package him, Huang Jiaju and Andy Lau as idol singers in Hong Kong and Taiwan.

In the previous life, "The True Colors of Heroes" was filmed at the time when Wu Yusen and Chow Yun-fat were at a low point in their lives. Wu Yusen was persuaded to go home and have a baby. Idol singer.

In this life, he was promoted by Wang Xiaohu, Chow Yun-fat became popular through several movies, and Wu Yusen also grew into a great director. It seems that the necessary "low point" is missing.

In fact, this is not the case. Since Wu Yusen followed Wang Xiaohu, he first filmed comedy films with Xu Guanwen and others for several years, and then was sent by Wang Xiaohu to the United States to shoot "First Blood". After returning to Hong Kong, he has been revising "The True Colors of Heroes" for two or three years. The script of "Seraph" can be said to have been tortured. When he accepted the script of "Seraphim", it caused many people to gossip. One can imagine the pressure he received from all parties.

And Chow Yun-fat seldom accepts films after filming "Shanghai Beach", because his acting skills have been recognized by everyone, and Wang Xiaohu doesn't let him accept bad films, so he has been paid a salary for the past two or three years and has no work. He almost didn't know what to do, and his depression index was increasing day by day.

With the environment in place and the actors in place, there is absolutely no problem in shooting "The True Colors of Heroes", so Wang Xiaohu directly asked Wu Yusen to let go of the preparations, so that this guy would not come to the crew to visit the set every day, like a "dead ghost".

After sending Wu Yusen away, Wang Xiaohu immediately turned into a "dead ghost" and boarded a luxury cruise ship moored in Victoria Harbor in a speedboat.

Walking quickly into the tanker's entertainment center, he saw Donnie Yen chatting with Schwarzenegger and several Hollywood stars, and immediately picked up the director's microphone and shouted: "I didn't invite you to the tanker for chatting, hurry up!" Everyone get ready to shoot."

You must know that Wang Xiaohu rented this luxury oil tanker from the shipping tycoon Yu-Kang Pao for filming. Although Bao Yugang doesn’t want to pay for the lease, Wang Xiaohu doesn’t want to take advantage of the old bag. , there is a lot of human affection in it!
For this reason, Wang Xiaohu had to put the words "Thanks to Hong Kong Environmental Transport Group" for providing the luxury cruise for free at the end of "Ip Man 2". This is an embedded advertisement!
Everyone was frightened by Wang Xiaohu's loud voice, and hurried to the dressing room to change clothes. The prop master, lighting engineer, recording studio, and photographer also quickly set up the scene.

The boxing champion in "Ip Man 2" must have the aura of a boxing champion, and it must not be just to knock down the Hong boxing master Hong Zhennan to prove that the boxing champion is very powerful.

In order to show the strength of the boxing champion, Wang Xiaohu added two matches in the middle. They were Yen Zidan fighting one of the foreign boxers, who was easily handled by the foreign boxer, and then the foreign boxer fought the boxing champion, and was defeated by the boxing champion again.

In such a comparison, the strength of the boxing champion is more obvious. After watching the audience, they all know that this foreign devil is very powerful, and cannot be defeated by ordinary people. Will worry.

The filming of Donnie Yen's Wing Chun boxing with a certain Hollywood star (too lazy to check the information) was relatively smooth. Donnie Yen's Wing Chun has more than three years of foundation, and that Hollywood star also has a nose and eyes, although experts can tell him at a glance His boxing is very rudimentary, but he is also a Hollywood star. If his skills are not enough, he uses his acting skills to make up for it. After three shots, Wang Xiaohu is very satisfied with the effect of the shots.

Wang Xiaohu handed a towel to Donnie Yen who came down from the ring and said: "Daniel, your scene is almost finished shooting, go to John Woo tomorrow to finish "Seraphim", and then come over to make up the final battle of "Ip Man 2" Scenes."

Donnie Yen hummed, took the towel and wiped his sweat vigorously and said, "Master, I understand."

"Go and rest!" Wang Xiaohu patted his lover on the shoulder, then picked up the director's microphone and continued to arrange the next filming scene.

The filming was going on normally, the muscular man dressed in a boxing champion's jersey and a golden belt on his waist and hips rushed to the ring, knocked out the Hollywood star with just three punches, and then he raised his fists high and looked around the audience like a ring overlord.

"Dude, is this the boxing champion you trained? So-so!" Wang Xiaohu grumbled to the boxing champion Ali next to him, pursing his lips.

"Tiger, I have tried my best. You should know that Arnold is a bodybuilder. His muscles have already been established, and he has long missed the best age for boxing." Ali said aggrievedly.

Wang Xiaohu did not object to this point. Regardless of Schwarzenegger's muscular body, he may have great fist strength, but it is not as explosive as a boxer of the same level.

"Hey!" Wang Xiaohu sighed. There is such an embarrassing situation for martial arts actors. They have to fight for their skills or their acting skills. Look at that Hollywood star just now. No acting skills, no skill.

"Perhaps this is the biggest difference between Hong Kong action movies and Hollywood action movies." Wang Xiaohu said heartily: "Kung Fu movies and action movies have to be watched in Hong Kong. Foreign devils can only use their muscles, but they can't make real moves."

Seeing that Wang Xiaohu seemed dissatisfied, Yuan Heping quietly walked over and asked, "Ah Hu, do you want to retake the film?"

"There is no need to retake." Wang Xiaohu shook his head and said: "Actually, this is better. Arnold's muscles just show the boxing champion's ability to fight and fight. We also have sufficient basis for declaring the shortcomings of Chinese martial arts."

Yuan Heping nodded thoughtfully and stopped talking, and returned to the ring to be the on-site executive director.

After finishing the day's filming, Wang Xiaohu felt more exhausted than performing on stage himself. After returning home, he lay in the bathtub for a long time before lazily coming out.

Zhao Yazhi was cooking in the kitchen, and Wang Xiaohu was sitting on the sofa with his son watching TV. At this time, it was TVB Jade Channel's nightly news program, most of which were related to the political topics of Hong Kong's handover.

Suddenly a piece of news on TV caught Wang Xiaohu's attention.

"After three days and nights of investigation by the police, the kidnapped Hong Kong Chinachem real estate tycoon was finally rescued safely."

Someone actually kidnapped Wang Dehui?
In fact, Wang Xiaohu didn't know Wang Dehui, but he knew his wife Gong Ruxin.

Nina Gong ranks 50th among the richest women in the world. At the same time, she also ranks first among all the richest women in the UK. Her property is more than 5 times that of the Queen of England.

When Wang Xiaohu was surprised, the host had already begun to report the details of the kidnapping case in detail.

"According to the police, Wang Dehui, who has always kept a low profile, and his wife Gong Ruxin were kidnapped by several gangsters armed with knives and guns on the way to work on April 4. The gangsters put Wang Dehui in a large refrigerator and transported him home. They released Gong Ruxin and asked her to prepare a huge ransom of 19 million U.S. dollars, and threatened Gong Ruxin not to call the police, otherwise the ticket would be torn up."

"The kidnappers planned the case carefully and the case was complicated. The senior superintendent who solved the case said that if the kidnappers had not made mistakes in several important measures, it might not have been solved. The police once again reminded the general public to take necessary safety measures."

After listening to the news, Wang Xiaohu felt something strange. If he remembered correctly, Jackie Chan's "Serious Crime Squad" seemed to be related to the kidnapping of a rich man, and it might be based on Wang Dehui.
