new kung fu king

Chapter 703 One Minute On Stage, Ten Years Off Stage
The first episode of "Ip Man" let the audience see that a generation of martial arts masters can be so gentle, humorous and refined. In addition to the strong storytelling and the continuation of the real kung fu style of martial arts movements, its biggest contributor is Wang Xiaohu and Ip Man during the filming. Living together for half a year.

While shooting the first episode, he already thought of shooting the second episode.

Therefore, when communicating with Ye Wen after practicing, Wang Xiaohu mostly asked questions, and Ye Wen answered them.

Even with the success of the first episode as a foreshadowing, Wang Xiaohu never dared to take it lightly. This also resulted in several revisions to the script during the shooting of the second episode. At the same time, he paid more attention to the details of Ye Wen and even the movie. In the Cantonese films of the 50s, many old people from those days were interviewed, such as Jin Yong, Run Run Shaw, Shen Zhong, etc. Of course, more communication was made with Wing Chun's Huang Shunliang and Bruce Lee. These are the things he hopes to further play Ip Man. effort made by the character.

So you can see that Wang Xiaohu looks like a person in the 50s with every move he makes and every move he makes. He wears a gray gown for daily life and walks vigorously with cloth shoes, which is particularly eye-catching.

"Ah Zhi, why do I feel like Ah Hu has a demon?" Brigitte Lin said, "It's like when you were filming "Mythology" when you were wearing the straight-saw robe of the Han Dynasty and dangled in front of my eyes."

Zhao Yazhi laughed when she heard the words, and said, "It's quick to get into the film. After all, it took ten years before the second part was filmed. Ah Hu needs to prepare and bring into the role all the time."

"In two days, all the fight scenes will be filmed, and the rest of the time will be devoted to literary dramas. I still have to sway back and forth with my big belly every day."

"Are you still in such trouble?" Brigitte Lin looked at Zhao Yazhi in surprise, stroked her flat belly and said, "If you want me to tell you that you might as well do a fake show and get pregnant again, look how lonely Jia En is, give him Adding a younger brother or younger sister will not only make the family lively, but also look festive, and your conditions are not unaffordable."

Zhao Yazhi shook her head with a smile and said, "One is enough for me and Ah Hu to have a headache, besides, Ah Hu doesn't have this idea at the moment."

"I don't understand you guys." Brigitte Lin said with a sigh.

Sitting in the director's chair, Wang Xiaohu is supervising the progress of Zhang Yuan and Zhang Shuping, who are busy working on the set of the set.

At this time, the fight scene between Sammo Hung and Schwarzenegger has been filmed, and the fight scene between Wang Xiaohu and Schwarzenegger must be completed as soon as possible. The highlight of the "Xiang Contest".

This arrangement is also to give Sammo Hung a chance to recuperate from his injuries, Wang Xiaohu does not want the big brother to fight with him on the round table with a "patch" at that time.

Wang Xiaohu looked at it for a long time, then suddenly frowned and said to Zhang Shuping, "Shuping, come here."

"Brother Hu." Zhang Shuping, who was discussing with Zhang Yuan, hurried over.

"Shuping, I feel that the set you designed is a bit wrong." Wang Xiaohu said after thinking for a while: "The set of the last match between Sanmao and Arnold was very delicate. You put some boxing nostalgic posters, Western boxing champions and boxing The photos from the competition are inlaid into photo frames of different sizes, which makes the film characters enter a foreign world that does not belong to the Chinese, and they always feel at a loss when they are in it."

When Zhang Shuping heard Brother Hu's praise, he immediately laughed. You must know that the last scene was done after several days and nights of thinking. Later, he went to Muhammad Ali to verify various information, and then did it according to Wang Xiaohu's request. It has the taste of the embryonic form of "black market boxing".

As soon as the "Little Ring" set was over, not only did Wang Xiaohu nod in praise, but even the boxing champion Ali also said that if some small settings of "gambling boxing" were removed, the old photos alone would have the scale of a world boxing club in the 50s. The degree is evident.

In the script, Wang Xiaohu's prompt is only one sentence: focus on the luxury of the foreigners' society, and reflect the oppression of the foreigners by the Chinese.

Zhang Shuping excavated a lot of naval uniforms of the United Nations sailors at that time from old expansion films, and worked hard to study the living customs of the United Nations troops stationed in Hong Kong in the 50s, and only then did he design the sets and costumes that satisfied Wang Xiaohu.

"In terms of the script, this is a regular arena match. You are right to think of a stadium or a grand theater as a venue, but Hong Kong at that time did not have such a wide stadium or local area, so the scene had to be readjusted." Wang Xiaohu continued. Said.

"Ah?" Zhang Shuping was dumbfounded: "Brother Hu, isn't the scenario set in the script on a luxury cruise ship? I think the United Nations troops stationed in Hong Kong must have training grounds of a similar scale in addition to leisure places, right? "

"The setting in the script is correct." Wang Xiaohu said, "But the starting point of the script is to make this group arena more serious. At that time, the British, Americans, foreign devils, and Chinese martial arts circles will all participate."

The final decisive battle of "Ip Man 2" was based on the fact that Sammo Hung was beaten by Schwarzenegger. At the press conference where the boxing champion made a public apology for the incident, he made rude remarks again, thus urging Ip Man's small universe played by Wang Xiaohu. Many Chinese and foreign journalists formally challenged the boxing champion.

The nature of the arena has changed substantially from the previous ones, and it is appropriate to describe it as "small arena" and "big arena".

Now we have to set up the "big arena", as the name suggests, it is a bigger arena than the small arena, and it is also the large-scale action scene in the last scene of "Ip Man 2".

Zhang Shuping fell into contemplation all of a sudden, it seemed that he still didn't understand the script thoroughly, otherwise Brother Hu wouldn't have made an "incongruous" suggestion.

After contemplating for a long time, Zhang Shuping said, "Brother Hu, can you design this place as a banquet hall for foreigners?"

"Banquet hall?" Wang Xiaohu frowned slightly.

"Yes!" Zhang Shuping's mind flashed, and he hurriedly added: "Combined with the decorative art style of lamps and lanterns in the last period, a lot of strong vertical lines, huge gestures, glass windows, etc. are added around the ring, by the way, I can Innovate on the basis of "Warrior's Journey" and "Rocky" that you directed more than ten years ago!"

Regarding Zhang Shuping's supplement, Wang Xiaohu didn't quite understand. After all, he didn't come from a background in setting and costume art, and he listened to many technical terms in the fog for a while, and waved his hand and said, "You can deal with it. In short, you have to give it to me." It gives people a sense of grandeur and grandeur, which sets off the atmosphere of the film's final battle."

Zhang Shuping quickly nodded and agreed, filming with Wang Xiaohu is definitely an unprecedented test, you have to study the script all the time, often communicate with the director, executive director, and action director, and fully understand what costumes and scenes they want.

It sounds complicated at first, but actually Zhang Shuping feels that working with Wang Xiaohu is quite enjoyable. "Shooting the Condor" allows his brain to fully function and greatly expands the setting of costume dramas. It is foreseeable that "Ip Man 2" After finishing, his professional experience and social value in the circle will gradually increase.

Zhang Shuping spent half a day thinking about it, and then submitted the new scene layout to Wang Xiaohu for review.

This time Wang Xiaohu didn't say anything, just patted Zhang Shuping on the shoulder and praised him fiercely.

"That's right, if you hadn't reminded me, I'd have forgotten to properly cooperate with the flashlights of the reporters." Wang Xiaohu said.

The cameras in the 50s are all antiques, and they are still taking a photo to produce a scary "explosion" and flashing effects. The dazzling effect of the flashes strengthens the strength of Ip Man's heavy punch, which can intuitively let the audience walk into Ip Man. In the world, I felt his indomitable spirit in fighting alone in the ring.

"Very good, let's arrange it quickly according to this design plan." Wang Xiaohu said: "By the way, the rest are the scenes of the teahouse and Ip Man's living quarters. Remember to submit the design plan to me in advance. Tell you the specific requirements."

Zhang Shuping nodded with an "oh", full of energy and went to work with Zhang Yuan.

When organizing the set, Wang Xiaohu didn't let the crew members idle, and arranged for Yuan Heping to go out to film other plots related to the ring competition. For example, this scene also has a lot of descriptions of foreign audiences, and the former judges and other matters around the ring. , of course, there are many supporting roles relying on the radio to cheer for Ip Man.

All of these are to enrich the atmosphere of the final battle in the arena, and to gather the people of Hong Kong to support Ip Man.

The distinction between the big and small arenas is not only a big difference in the setting, but also a big adjustment in the martial arts movements. Wang Xiaohu's request is to film the two arenas with their own characteristics.

After all the crew members were busy, Wang Xiaohu caught the big Schwarzenegger alone.

"Arnold, come on, before the official shooting, the two of us will fight first!" Wang Xiaohu said with a smile.

Schwarzenegger waved his hands quickly when he heard the words: "Boss, you should let me go, I heard that Ali said that your boxing skills are very powerful, I don't want to be abused."

"My lord, I asked you to fight according to the set routine, not to fight with you!" Wang Xiaohu hopped and scolded his mother depressedly. At this time, the majestic "Terminator" is as cowardly as a mouse. What kind of world is this.

Regardless of Schwarzenegger's willingness or not, Wang Xiaohu still forcibly fought him. After a few times, Schwarzenegger finally found some sense and got up to fight Wang Xiaohu.

So in a corner of the set, Wang Xiaohu, who was wearing a gray gown, and Schwarzenegger, who was only wearing big underpants, frequently fought each other.

Schwarzenegger failed to fight according to the set action several times, but was easily resolved by Wang Xiaohu. The two tossed for a long time, and Schwarzenegger was out of breath.

"Dude, you usually have to hide on the set, press your legs, hit a sandbag, and keep your muscles in top condition, otherwise"

"Otherwise what?" Schwarzenegger asked hurriedly.

"Otherwise you will only learn to show off." Wang Xiaohu sneered and said, "Not to mention learning Chinese Kung Fu from me, one minute on stage, ten years off stage, you are a bodybuilder, you should understand this truth, right? "

　Chinese New Year is approaching, there are too many trivial things at home, plus 300 consecutive days of coding, the body is overdrawn, and sometimes the brain can't keep up with the rhythm of the coding, and the things I write feel terrible even to myself, so Xiaomi needs to adjust. mentality, otherwise our book is likely to go on in a vicious circle.
