Chapter 618 The Mature Style of "Jing Wu Heroes"

This kind of improvement is actually the cultivation of personal qualities including language and even thinking, especially the latter, in preparation for entering the bigger stage of Hollywood.

You know, whether in reality or in movies, a style that is purely aggressive and aggressive will not last long. There must always be a bit of style in it.Just like in the original time and space, Li Lianjie finally chose the movie "Fearless" to summarize himself.

Of course, Li Lianjie, who is still young, can't realize a little bit, but Tang Huan is satisfied enough.Because the other party knows how to advance and retreat, guard against arrogance and impetuosity, and there is no emotional struggle for becoming famous at a young age, the orderly operation of the "Li Family Class" assigned to him is a good test.

For another example, Tang Huan opened a chain of sports clubs in California. Martial arts is one of the activities. Li Lianjie makes a special trip to participate in the themed activities held by him every year. Sometimes it will inevitably affect the local Chinese martial arts. business, but he was able to maintain a modest attitude in the face of provocations that came to him, and he has never been involved in such disputes, which is enough to show that he has a grasp of the size.

Sylvester Stallone was there when he watched Fist of Fist, which has two blockbusters this year — the already-released, well-grossing sequel to First Blood; The upcoming "Rocky 4", which is a successful series of films similar to "007" under United Artists, is also optimistic about its commercial performance.

Tang Huan deliberately brought these two people together, naturally hoping that they would be able to generate sparks of cooperation on their own.

When "Heroes of Fist of Fury" began to be shown, Sylvester Stallone, as well as a group of people in charge of the operation of the film market, were immediately attracted.

Under the creation of Tang Huan, Li Lianjie has become famous in the United States. Similar to Cheng Long, although he has not become popular, but with his distinctive personal characteristics, he has left a deep impression on the industry and some movie fans. .

Different from the Chinese ancient costume image in the previous two "Fang Shiyu" and three "Huang Feihong", playing Chen Zhen Li Lianjie in "Jing Wu Heroes", with a small crew cut, Chinese tunic suit, and sharp eyes, made these people feel bright.

It is slightly different from the current works about the hatred of the country and the family. The portrayal of Japan at that time in "Fist of Heroes" is not superficial, but strives to be objective, such as the protest of Japanese students against the emperor at the beginning of the movie, and the conflict with the Black Dragon Society. , is a manifestation.

It can be said that such a screenwriter is an inevitable choice to adapt to the rules of the world game and go to the international stage. It is not the way to always entertain yourself at home with cats.

Those American filmmakers who are more familiar with Chinese-language films immediately noticed this internal change and nodded their heads frequently.And Chen Zhen, who had just appeared on the stage, taught those Black Dragon Society disciples who were making trouble in the classroom.

"Is there really such a kung fu?" Sylvester Stallone asked in amazement when he saw the dislocated jaws, calves, arms and other parts of the Black Dragon Society disciples in the movie.

Tang Huan said casually with a smile: "You can find time to discuss with JetLi."

The configuration of the movie "Jing Wu Heroes" is still very good. As far as the cast is concerned, several Japanese artists were invited to play the role. For example, the Japanese girl Mitsuko Yamada who has a crush on Chen Zhen is played by Warner Japan. Zhongshan Miho; Fumio Koshi, the chief coach of the Black Dragon Club, is played by Yasuaki Kurata, a veteran actor who has been in the Hong Kong film industry for many years; as for the villain Fujitaoka, he is the undefeated fighting champion Zhou Billy in the Hong Kong Stormwind City ring.

In addition, the martial arts design of "Jing Wu Heroes" is Yuan Heping; the soundtrack is composed by Gu Jiahui; with all the preparations very complete, the requirements for the director are not so harsh, and Yuan Kui and others have long-term cooperation in "Li Jiaban" This group of people is enough to complete.

Needless to say, "Fist of Fury" is a new version of the 1972 Bruce Lee classic "Fist of Fury", which is already better than its predecessor.

Fortunately, DreamWorks has enough power in Xiangjiang, so there is no need to be afraid of various pressures including doubts. In the name of paying tribute, they directly reshot the wonderful fighting scene of Chen Zhen's alone entering the Hongkou Dojo.

The times are developing, and people's aesthetics are also changing. The slow pace of more than ten years ago inevitably cannot keep up with the tastes of the audience; and Chen Zhen, played by Li Lianjie, is fierce in his moves, and he can control the enemy with one move. , I can't see the sense of disobedience in which the protagonist poses and the enemy cooperates and stares blankly.

Watching Chen Zhen punch like the wind and hit the vulnerable places such as the soles of the feet, inner legs, ribs, face doors, etc. of the Japanese samurai in Hongkou Dojo, all those in the middle screamed and fell to the ground. He took a breath, as if he had been beaten.

After a dizzying brawl, Ryuichi Akutagawa, the owner of Hongkou Dao gymnasium, arrives and conducts a fair contest from the standpoint of a pure warrior, which can be regarded as bringing the rhythm of the movie back to the so-called universal values. After all, movies and TV shows are different.

What is a little unexpected, but also amazing, is that in addition to showing traditional Chinese Kung Fu, "Fist of Heroes" also introduces elements such as Western boxing, and when Chen Zhen and Funakoshi Fumio competed, the effect was impressive. Called fascinating.

In particular, seeing that Fumio Funakoshi's eyes were affected by the wind and sand, Chen Zhen proposed the setting of blindfolded martial arts for the sake of fairness, which enhanced the freshness of viewing.And in this process, the two sides fought wits and bravely interfered with each other, and the humor displayed was also unbearable.

After the movie ended with a tragic yet spectacular decisive battle, as the lights came on, the audience gave them warm applause and praise. The main members of the "Jing Wu Heroes" crew who felt this atmosphere were all happy inspire

After summarizing everyone's opinions, there is nothing more than one thing, that is, with the foreshadowing of the previous films, the more mature and unique style of "Jing Wu Heroes" is naturally more promising.

However, in the eyes of Sylvester Stallone, an actor, director and other occupations, it is not that simple.

The overall downturn in Hollywood in recent years is due to the fact that movies are not as attractive to audiences as before. The introduction of oriental real kung fu elements like Li Lianjie is a good attempt to add luster, not to mention the big boss Tang Huan. is also contributing to this.

Tang Huan was also very satisfied with "Jing Wu Heroes", and even joked to his subordinates: "I don't know what will happen when this movie is put into operation in Japan?"

Since the moviegoers were unanimously optimistic about the commercial value of "Heroes of Fist of Fighting", the next procedure was completed overnight. Tang Huan ignored it and only cared about Li Lianjie's personal affairs. "I heard that you are already dating a girlfriend?"

"It's my senior sister." Li Lianjie scratched his head embarrassingly, "I haven't made up my mind yet. I mainly plan to focus on my career while I'm young now."

Tang Huan smiled slightly when he heard the words, "It's not easy for you to come out of the mainland to work hard, and you have always been a little separated from Xiangjiang's circle, so it is more and more important to be considerate of yourself and the rear. You should also understand some of the living conditions of Xiangjiang martial artists and action stars at this stage , Danger is always inevitable, and even in order not to affect future fertility, some medical prevention of sperm storage will be done. In fact, getting married early is probably the best career guarantee.”

Having said that, Tang Huan twisted his fingers, "I can't wait for my red envelope."

Li Lianjie sorted out his injuries during this period of recuperation, which was really shocking.Therefore, he almost regarded Tang Huan as his life mentor, so he listened to these suggestions, nodded with a smile and said, "Then I will use this free time to think about it."

……

In addition to films that focus on commercial interests, Tang Huan routinely asked about those works that are striving for the Oscars every year, and the representative of them is "Out of Africa".

At this time, Hu Yinmeng specially called and asked, "Although you can't attend the first Miss Chinese Universe competition here in Xiangjiang in person, you still have to stand and cheer through the satellite live broadcast."

Tang Huan grinned when he heard that, "The time difference between Xiangjiang and the west coast of the United States is so big, do you want me to rest?"

"Then I don't care." Hu Yinmeng said directly: "The reason why Miss Xiangjiang is so successful is because of her many years of experience; in comparison, no matter how carefully prepared the first Miss Chinese Universe Competition is, there are also some imperfections. Place, if you don't do your best at this time, can you count on others?"

Tang Huan immediately joked: "But as far as I know, you have invited quite luxurious guests to judge, not worse than the previous Miss Xiangjiang. Huo Zhulingling, the champion of Miss Xiangjiang in 1977, is impressively listed."

"But you don't just participate in Miss Xiangjiang and neglect your own Miss Hua." Hu Yinmeng continued to complain.

The noise caused a headache, and Tang Huan could only agree: "Then I will risk my life and stay up early in the morning, waiting for the live broadcast to appear on Media Asia TV."

The reason why Tang Huan was not very interested in the first Sister Hua competition was because he saw the names of Li Yanshan, Ye Yuqing, Pan Xianyi and others from the materials.

In the original time and space, the first two were well-known artists, and the latter was also the manager of the Beyond band. They both belonged to relatively successful careers, but because of this, they didn't have much novelty for Tang Huan.

This also reflects that no matter how the name, purpose and other strategies change, this beauty pageant, which is essentially going to compete head-on with Miss Xiangjiang, will still overlap with the original time and space, otherwise some popular candidates It won't be like this.

It is not difficult to understand that the Miss Hong Kong contest, which has been held for many years, is well recognized by Hong Kong people, and the winner is eligible to represent Hong Kong to participate in international beauty pageants such as Miss Universe, Miss World, and Miss International; while the new Miss Hua contest has a lot of things to do To start from scratch.

For example, the first session will have to design specifications and procedures, and at the same time, compared with Miss Xiangjiang, there will be additional content such as competition areas outside Hong Kong, live TV broadcasts, etc.

All these kinds, and so on.In order to ensure no accidents, it is natural that the contestants are still temporary Hong Kong residents.

……

On August 8st, the final of the first Miss Chinese Cosmos contest was held at the Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts.With Tang Huan's active investment, its hardware construction is quite complete. The opera house alone can accommodate 31 people, and this is the main venue.

Because the sister Hua competition was held during the summer vacation, students from the Xiangjiang Academy for Performing Arts took advantage of the convenience to participate in a large number, which was mutually beneficial and the best of both worlds.

In addition to Media Asia TV, Chinese TV stations in Southeast Asia and Canada also participated in the live broadcast.Also due to the time difference, the live broadcast of Canadian Chinese TV stations is destined to be uninterested, and the focus will be on video replays, which will inevitably waste satellite resources.

However, it is this grand and rare way of joint live broadcast that invisibly puts an aura of influence on the Miss Chinese Universe Competition. Regardless of the actual results, at least the celebrities in Xiangjiang are very impressed by this different big platform. interest.

After Tang Huan said a few words of expectations and blessings through the satellite connection, the finals of the first Miss Chinese Universe competition began, and all the beauties came on stage.

It is a little embarrassing that almost all candidates from competition areas outside Xiangjiang, such as the Philippines and Malaysia, were eliminated in the semi-finals. One is that the economy is developed but the boss, and the superiority of Xiangjiang Center is at work. On the other hand, these people The quality of the girl really can't stand the test, and this is also a mistake in this year's Sister Hua competition.

The masters of ceremony Liu Zhirong and Zeng Qingyu, as well as the guest masters of ceremonies Chen Baixiang, Yan Hao, and Shi Yangde, followed the contestants on the stage, and then officially entered the competition. Similar to the Miss Xiangjiang contest, they also displayed swimwear and evening wear, and answered questions. It is considered a fixed part of the beauty pageant.

However, in terms of details, the Chinese Sister Competition also has its own characteristics, such as the introduction of computer statistics scores, which are published on the big screen in the form of a bar chart, and even a Fangyuan computer and printer are placed. The final competition results are determined by Its direct output is quite a challenge to Miss Xiangjiang's black-box operation that has been criticized by others.

Since it is a beauty pageant, there are always hot contestants, and Ye Yuqing is such a character in this year's Sister Hua competition.The former wealthy daughter is very good at gaining attention in this kind of occasion.

In fact, no matter how good the beauty pageant is, it is a good resume for these participating girls.Although the winner has the opportunity to marry into a wealthy family or become a star, Tang Huan's huge industrial resources are enough to provide corresponding jobs to absorb and digest the remaining beauties who have not been selected. It depends on whether the other party is willing to engage in solid white-collar work.

Different from Miss Xiangjiang's one-time announcement of the final results of the competition, the first Sister Hua contest had a promotion stage. First, the top three were selected, and then the rankings were determined. As expected, Li Yanshan, Ye Yuqing, and Pan Xianyi three People win.

"Fresh blood is needed!" Tang Huan shook his head slightly, and then enjoyed the performance before the announcement of the final results with great interest.
