Chapter 542 Premiere of "Jing Wu Heroes" (Part [-])

That Xu Jinheng stared at Chen Xiaotang staring straight at his girlfriend's eyes, couldn't help coughing, and reminded Chen Xiaotang, this is my son, take it easy, brother.

Chen Xiaotang woke up with a start, and hurriedly apologized: "I'm sorry, because Miss Ye looks too much like a friend of mine before, so... a little distracted."

Ye Yuqing didn't expect Chen Xiaotang to say that, couldn't help laughing and said: "Really, do you mean that I really look like your friend?"

"It's not just like, it's exactly the same!"

"Hehe, I don't have a lost twin sister or older sister!"...

After a few people made jokes, Xu Jinheng smiled and said to Ye Yuqing: "A Tang and I still have something to say, you go to the front and wait for a while."

Ye Yuqing understood, greeted Chen Xiaotang with a smile, said: "Excuse me!" and left with her waist twisted.

"How about it, my bastard?" Xu Jinheng said proudly.

"Not bad, very beautiful."

"Yeah, that's what I like about her. I especially like her oval face, which is very classic!"

"Hehe, I didn't expect, Young Master Xu, that your aesthetics are getting higher and higher!"

"It's far worse than you—by the way, Ah Tang, if you open a new play, you can give her a role, I promised her."

"Hey, are you serious this time, Young Master Xu?"

"Serious ass! But I always like to be straightforward in my life and work. Since I promised others, I must do it!" Xu Jinheng smiled wryly, "How can you help me with this?"

"Of course!" Chen Xiaotang patted each other's shoulder with a smile, "Whoever is with you!"...

It was around eight o'clock, and seeing that the premiere was about to start, Chen Xiaotang greeted all the guests to enter the venue, and at the same time called his parents, mother, and younger sister to stay together.

Younger sister Chen Xiaoxiao faced many reporters, answering one or the other.Chen Fugui, the father dressed up as "Uncle Bird", was wearing a black suit and sunglasses, and his mouth was relatively stupid, and he could only say to the reporters: "I just plug the door!"

My mother, Li Shuzhen, was the liveliest one. She "talked eloquently" to a large group of reporters, talking about how her son was like when he was a child, what kind of food he liked to eat, what his academic performance was when he was in school, where his first love happened, etc. How did they get kicked and so on, these super explosive gossip news made the reporters scratch their heads and write like crazy.

Chen Xiaotang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, his mother was so cute, he hurriedly pulled her over, and his mother Li Shuzhen yelled: "What are you talking about, I haven't finished talking yet! I just talked about you being kicked!"

After finally getting the whole family together, Chen Xiaotang joined hands with the main creator and a group of actors to enter the cinema.

Immediately, the audience lined up excitedly.They came this time mainly because they were curious about what kind of movie "Jing Wu Heroes" was.

Different from the expressions expected by the audience, director Xu Xiaoming and the others all sat upright with serious faces.Rao Guan Zhilin, Wang Zuxian and the others gradually lost their smiles.Especially Li Lianjie, the careful Chen Xiaotang noticed that his hands were trembling slightly.

"Ajie, remember what I said when I invited you to participate in this movie?"

"En?" Chen Xiaotang asked suddenly, but Li Lianjie didn't react for a while.

"As I said, this movie will really open the door for you to the Hong Kong entertainment industry. At that time, with your skills, you will definitely be able to dominate the Hong Kong movie industry and write the myth of your kung fu star! Believe in yourself, and believe in this movie "Jing Wu Heroes" was filmed by our joint efforts!" Chen Xiaotang's eyes were full of confidence, although his voice was low, but the affirmation in his tone made Li Lianjie, Xu Xiaoming and others around him look sideways.

There is nothing cumbersome at the beginning of interviews and speeches.In Chen Xiaotang's view, it is better to wait for the film to be held after the screening is over.

At this very moment, all theaters under the umbrella of Moying Entertainment in Hong Kong screened "Heroes of Fist of Fury" at the same time.

There is no so-called trial screening, no so-called gradual increase of theaters.Chen Xiaotang's goal is very clear, which is to become popular instantly.

When the familiar images of green grass, lake, starry sky, and Chen Xiaotang's resolute profile appeared in Moying Entertainment, countless stars burst and merged into the big characters of Moying Entertainment.Even though he was as calm as Chen Xiaotang, his heart trembled slightly.

The starburst night sky, the ghost reappears!
On the big screen, the movie finally started.Accompanied by the melodious melody, all the audience focused on the screen.

The previous story happened in a Japanese school, where Chen Zhen, played by Chen Xiaotang, was studying abroad. In the classroom, a few Japanese wanderers suddenly broke in and started shouting: "Let the Chinese pigs and Chinese people go away!"

Looking at the extremely arrogant Japanese ronin on the screen, the emotions of the entire movie theater audience were immediately mobilized.

At this time, "Mitsuko Yamada" played by Guan Zhilin came out to stop him, but was teased by the Japanese ronin. When the audience was furious off the screen, Chen Zhen played by Chen Xiaotang made a move!
This drama can be described as hearty and fierce, especially the grappling and fighting in ancient Chinese martial arts to the extreme in actual combat. In just three or four seconds, those Japanese ronin who were originally arrogant on the screen broke their limbs and groaned endlessly, making the screen below the screen. The audience couldn't help applauding.

As the saying goes, laymen watch the fun, and insiders watch the fun.

This time, not only ordinary audiences, but also some big names in the film industry and entertainment company bosses attended the premiere of Magic Shadow Entertainment.For example, Brother Hong Jinbao of Debao Company is very interested in the fight scene at the beginning of the scene.

You must know that in Hong Kong at this time, the general kung fu movies follow the same style as "Shaolin Room 36".Then, as a filmmaker, Hong Jinbao broke this routine and tried to turn routine Kung Fu movies into comedy with "The Prodigal Boy". The box office and reputation of this movie were very good, which encouraged Hong Jinbao to continue reforming, so "Beware of Small Hands" in [-] and "Food Truck" last year.

Especially in the movie "Fast Food Truck", Hong Jinbao made Chinese Kung Fu more international, and Cheng Long's ghost horse genre formed a brand-new style of fashion Kung Fu, which will be the basis for future "Wey Dragon Detective", "Oriental Kung Fu" Kung Fu films such as Condor and Fortune Train have laid a solid foundation.

It can be said that in terms of kung fu genre, Hong Jinbao is definitely a master who connects the past and the future, but he is such a master. After watching the beginning of "Fist of Heroes", he was immediately shocked by Chen Xiaotang's kung fu.

Why?It's just because Chen Xiaotang's kung fu shows special emphasis on speed and actual combat!In particular, the capture moves, in Hong Jinbao's view, are definitely not ostentatious, but traditional Sanshou moves to control the enemy!
Hong Jinbao guessed right. What Chen Xiaotang showed on the screen before was the long-lost "Yuejia Sanshou" in the Chinese martial arts world!
According to legend, this boxing was created by Yue Fei, a famous anti-gold general in the Song Dynasty. At first, there were only 9 moves in this boxing, including 3 upper moves, 4 middle moves, and 2 lower moves. hand.During the Jin and Yuan Dynasties, martial arts training was prohibited, and traditional martial arts were destroyed, and Yuejiaquan was not spared.In the Ming and Qing Dynasties, when martial arts flourished, Yuejiaquan was able to develop.According to historical records, martial arts masters in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties visited famous masters in Zhongnan Mountain, obtained Yuewu Mu boxing spectrum, and created Xingyi boxing according to his boxing theory, forming a school of its own.Some people believe that the current Xingyiquan, Fanziquan, Lianquan, etc. are all derived from "Yuejia Sanshou".

As for how Chen Xiaotang knew this actual combat technique, I would like to thank Liu Xingbo, a good brother.And the reason why Chen Xiaotang used this kung fu right from the start was to shut up those who said that Chinese kung fu is all about putting on airs!

Shut up!

See what is real Chinese Kung Fu!

The plot that followed was that Chen Zhen immediately set off from Japan and returned to Shanghai when he heard of the death of his master Huo Yuanjia.

There are two conflicts about this scene. The first one is the "grievance" between the Japanese Hongkou Dojo and the Jingwumen sect; the second contradiction is the traditional martial arts of Jingwumen represented by Huo Tingen, and Chen Zhen. The gap between the schools of actual combat kung fu.

Making a movie is like writing a novel, you have to distinguish between priorities, and as the director Xu Xiaoming, and as the lead actor and screenwriter Chen Xiaotang, both of them unanimously chose this scene to highlight the conflict between old and new martial arts concepts.

On the movie screen, Chen Zhen, played by Chen Xiaotang, returned to Fist of Fury, and found that he had studied abroad for two years and was already out of tune with the people and things here.

In the camera, Chen Xiaotang gets up in the morning to do push-ups, and next to him in the martial arts arena, a group of Jingwu disciples are practicing routines in full swing.

In the movie at the moment, through the subjective lens of Chen Xiaotang playing Chen Zhen, except for a few Jingwumen disciples who are doing piling and standing horse training, most of the Jingwumen disciples are lined up neatly, led by the big brother Liu Zhendong Underneath, Wu Xinlan and some female disciples of Jingwumen were practicing routines.

Close-up, push-in shot.

Under the leadership of Liu Zhendong, these disciples of Jingwumen jumped up and down, and they looked better than monkeys.

At this moment, through Chen Xiaotang's subjective perspective, a new drama was conveyed to the audience off the screen, that is--it's a pity that these people don't play monkeys to make money.

For the routines of traditional martial arts, there have always been two views in later generations. A representative of modern martial arts believes that the routines have no practical value and insists on abolishing them. In the martial arts they created, basically there are no routines. As for The traditional school insists on maintaining the value of routines, thinking that routines are the real essence of martial arts. This kind of speech of traditional martial arts is gradually becoming pale and powerless under the increasing prestige of modern martial arts.

In Chen Xiaotang's eyes, the views of traditional martial arts are not completely wrong, they are wrong because they regard routines as a means of technical training.

For the filming of "Jing Wu Heroes", Chen Xiaotang once studied the history of traditional Chinese martial arts very hard. He believed that there were no routines in the early martial arts, so how did the routines come about?Chen Xiaotang believes that the earliest prototype of routines is "actual combat simulation training", that is, imaginary training.

When there was no opponent in the early days, the martial artists trained their actual combat ability by imagining that there was an opponent in front of them to punch and kick. In the training of "there is an enemy", the fearless spirit of "the enemy seems to be invincible" in actual combat is trained, which lays the foundation for real actual combat. The family is about to pass this model down, or the disciples secretly saw it and mistakenly learned it as real kung fu. The martial artists of that era were also conservative. They were afraid that their disciples would surpass themselves after learning the real kung fu. If he doesn't reveal the mystery of this model, his disciples will only get the shape, not the meaning.

As a result, this set of movements evolved from imaginary actual combat simulation training was passed down from generation to generation by unknown disciples, and some movements were randomly added to them, gradually forming a routine. After the first routine appeared, other sects Followed by learning and style, or wanting to reflect the difference between their own martial arts and other martial arts, they created their own routines. Later, the routines became popular and used them as a means of technical training. Generation after generation of misleading disciples
The result can be imagined, and the routines without spirit and only the form have been practiced generation after generation, becoming more and more pale and powerless. The routines that have lost their true essence also gradually focus on the value of performance appreciation, "Martial Arts "It started to slowly become "dance".

In Chen Xiaotang's view, for routines, combining hundreds of technical movements to practice is simply a waste of time repeating hundreds of movements over and over again, not at all as effective as repeating one movement hundreds of times.

Therefore, routines can only be regarded as gymnastics, not martial arts. Moreover, in terms of fitness value, routines are not as good as regular gymnastics; in terms of appreciation value, routines are not as good as dancing; It is used to be beaten.

The real technical training is the repetition of a single move tens of thousands of times.

A martial artist admired by Chen Xiaotang in later generations said it well: "One movement, even if it is a wrong movement, if practiced millions of times, it will produce terrible lethality."

The boxing proverb says: "Don't be afraid of a thousand moves, but be afraid of a single move." It is the same truth.

In fact, all industries in the world are like the sports world of later generations, such as basketball, football and other training. The most basic and most important thing is to repeat a single movement thousands of times to practice a shot or a goal. You have practiced it millions of times, or even tens of millions of times, and only then will you become a real master.

In Chen Xiaotang's Neijiaquan practice, the first step is to learn the basic techniques, and then choose a few single moves that are most suitable for you if you are extremely proficient, and practice them millions of times like Chen Xiaotang's own high-sweep kick and collapse. Fist, he has practiced at least tens of millions of times, so he can kill with one blow.

on the big screen.

Seeing the disciples of Fist of Fury spend 10 to [-] minutes practicing routines, Chen Zhen, played by Chen Xiaotang, shook his head slightly. train them.

The audience off the screen seemed to have noticed the emotional changes of the protagonist played by Chen Xiaotang, some began to whisper, and some even started to talk about Chinese martial arts.

Chen Xiaotang and Xu Xiaoming, who accompanied the guests to watch the premiere, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when they saw that everyone started to talk about it. Originally, they expanded the conflict between traditional martial arts and modern martial arts in the filming of this movie. In order to warn the Hong Kong martial arts world today, it seems that it has already had some effect.

The film has to carry something, this is it!
