Rebirth of Hong Kong Island: The Kung Fu Movie King's Extra Practice

Chapter 42 Who is the King of Kung Fu Comedies?
"The saying "Wen Wu is second and Wu Wu is first" is equally suitable when applied to Kung Fu movies.

As soon as Director Luo Wei said these words, the scene suddenly became quiet.

"This kung fu movie is like a martial arts competition. If you don't move, you will be fine. If you move, you must strive for the first place!"

"This time, our new movie is aimed at this first place."

Although Luo Wei is no longer young, his voice is still sonorous and powerful, and he is full of ambition.

"Eight years ago, I led Bruce Lee to create a highly anticipated new pinnacle of Hong Kong kung fu movies!"

"Today, I, Luo Wei, will also lead Chenglong to cross the peak and regain the glory of kung fu movies!"

Luo Wei waved his hand and shouted these two sentences impassionedly, and the muscles on his face trembled.

Chenglong involuntarily raised his head and chest, his eyes shining brightly.

There was instant warm applause at the scene, echoing loudly in the huge Golden Harvest Conference Hall.

"Let's wait and see, thank you everyone!"

Luo Wei bowed slightly to greet the media reporters in front of him, with an expression on his face full of confidence.

"First of all, I wish director Luo Da's new movie a great box office success!" a reporter from "Sing Tao Evening News" rushed to ask a pointed question.

"My question is, what gives Director Luo such confidence?"

This question was asked a bit rudely, obviously with a hint of doubt about Luo Wei.

After Bruce Lee, in fact, Luo Wei has gradually lost his courage over the years and has not achieved more impressive box office results.

Luo Wei pursed his lips and proudly said five words.

"Kung fu comedy."

He explained: "This is the best way to break through Bruce Lee-style kung fu movies."

"I believe everyone has witnessed the box office performance of Cheng Long's last kung fu comedy film, "The Snake"."

Luo Wei pointed to Chenglong beside him, and Chenglong nodded towards everyone.

"Kung Fu comedy? Isn't that the creative idea of ​​Wu Siyuan and Yuan Heping?" a reporter from "Ming Pao" asked.

"No, no, you are wrong." Luo Wei shook his head in denial.

"It was Wu Siyuan who came to consult me, a senior, and we discussed the new idea of ​​a kung fu comedy together."

"In order to support Wu Siyuan in trying it first, I even gave up my love and lent Chenglong to him."

"Oh, that's it." The reporter friends suddenly realized.

A reporter from Oriental Daily asked: "But I heard that Wu Siyuan is already filming a new kung fu comedy."

"Besides, I heard that the new star actor is quite talented."

The reporters looked at each other understandingly. It was obvious that everyone knew about Chen Fei's challenge to Hong Jin Bao.

Luo Wei showed a look of disdain: "The leading actor is just a newcomer randomly picked up on the street."

"And Chenglong, who became a blockbuster in "The Snake", is on our crew."

Luo Wei said: "Now, Cheng Long and I will make a more pure kung fu comedy."

"Just the gold-painted signboard with the word "Luo Wei" on it.

"More importantly, we also have the full support of Jiahe and Lin Group!"

Luo Wei raised his hand and made a gesture of admiration towards the Jiahe masters Zou Wenhuai and He Guanchang who were sitting next to them.

At this time, Master Lin of the Lin Group was unwilling to show up and was not among the chairman.

Therefore, Luo Wei made a quick mention and mainly recommended Jiahe.

Thunderous applause erupted again in the Jiahe Conference Hall.

The name of Jiahe Pictures made everyone present feel in awe.

Jiahe Chairman Zou Wenhuai maintained his usual kind and friendly smile and nodded in greeting.

After Golden Harvest Films became famous, he has rarely attended such film release ceremonies.

But Jiahe will definitely give Director Luo Wei the respect of a veteran of Hong Kong movies.

"Please support Chenglong!"

"Support Golden Harvest Movies!" "Support our Hong Kong Kung Fu comedy!"

Zou Wenhuai only said these three sentences, but they already attracted continuous thunderous applause and cheers from the audience.

Chenglong looked at the fiery atmosphere at the scene, unable to conceal his excitement, his face glowing.

He seemed to see the bright light of hope again.

……

This film conference successfully aroused the interest of reporters from major media outlets in Hong Kong, and they quickly made news reports.

"Wen Wu is second, Wu Wu is first!"Who is the king of kung fu comedy? 》

Subtitle: Returning with great success, Luo Wei and Cheng Long start filming a new kung fu comedy

……

Early the next morning.

This news report was published in the entertainment headlines of major well-known newspapers.

"Drunken Master" movie crew.

When Wu Siyuan read out the news in front of Yuan Xiaotian, Yuan Heping and Chen Fei.

Everyone looked at each other and then started laughing.

Yuan Heping looked at Wu Siyuan: "It sounds like Luo Wei is very angry. When did he become so targeted?"

Wu Siyuan smiled bitterly: "Yes, making a movie is just a business, why do you need to make it so sword-fighting?"

The two of them had known Luo Wei for a long time, and they were a little surprised to find themselves in this situation.

However, shopping malls are like battlefields.

Aren’t the overt and covert struggles in the film industry just like the world of martial arts? People are unpredictable.

Mr. Yuan slowly took a sip of tea, shook his head, and sighed.

"Luo Wei is a man of some ability, but he is too short-tempered."

Sighing seems to be contagious, Wu Siyuan also sighed: "It's no wonder that the successful cooperation with Bruce Lee completely changed Luo Wei's mentality."

Chen Fei asked: "I heard that Luo Wei and Bruce Lee collaborated and ended up breaking up on bad terms?"

Mr. Yuan chuckled: "Yes, Bruce Lee went to Luo Wei with a knife and scared him half to death."

At this time, Yuan Heping also sighed: "Think about it, I'm afraid Chenglong will not have a hard time under Luo Wei's hands."

Chen Fei nodded and said: "I think so. We must help Chenglong if we have the opportunity in the future."

Wu Siyuan smiled and said: "Yes, I very much agree with this."

The morning sun shone lightly on Chen Fei's head, illuminating his angular and delicate facial features.

Mr. Yuan drank tea, looked at Chen Fei quietly, and nodded approvingly.

Wu Siyuan spread his arms cordially and patted Yuan Heping and Chen Fei on the shoulders.

"Our top priority now is to finish filming "Drunken Master" as soon as possible and ensure the quality of the film."

"There is no such thing as winning or losing, as long as a good movie is made, it is a matter of course that it will do well at the box office."

Chen Fei smiled and said, "Yes, good shows come with good rewards!"

The wrinkles on Yuan Heping's face relaxed and he praised: "Well said!"

The three people hugged each other like an iron triangle and smiled brightly.

This tacit sense of trust is actually a very critical step to success.

……

Filming of Luo Wei and Cheng Long's kung fu comedy "Fighter" is also about to start in full swing.

At this time, even the script was not completely completed. Luo Wei was anxious to make changes while filming, desperately trying to catch up with the progress.

Just to get back the breath he thought he had in his heart.
