Wang Zhengfei has collaborated with Zhao Wenzhuo once, so he naturally knows Zhao Wenzhuo's level, and his skills are absolutely no problem. Moreover, the popularity of "Qin Shi Mingyue" this time has also made Zhao Wenzhuo's reputation soar in Asia, and he is vaguely on the rise.
With the momentum of Kung Fu Superstar, if he can continue to star in "Ip Man", it will be a very good thing not only for "Ip Man" itself, but also for Zhao Wenzhuo himself.
In fact, in the 1980s, Hong Kong movies experienced their most glorious and final glory and then declined. Kung fu movies in particular basically had no successors. Especially after Chen Long and Li Lien, there was not even one person who could inherit kung fu.
There are none in the movie, and it was under this circumstance that Zhao Wenzhuo was introduced.
At that time, "New Fang Shiyu" was shot at Yanjing Film Studio. Coincidentally, the great director Tsui Hark was also filming the movie "Once Upon a Time in China: The Wind of Kings" here. The dressing rooms of the two crews happened to be next door. At that time, "Once Upon a Time in China" was filming.
"Once Upon a Time" was played by a karate player from the Philippines, but after more than ten days of filming, it was discovered that there was something wrong with this "foreigner"'s performance. So Director Xu resolutely decided to change the role. I heard that the cast of "New Fang Shiyu"
There was a newcomer who performed well, so Tsui Hark went to visit him. It didn't matter, so the next day Tsui Hark went to the school to ask for someone.
But it is a pity that despite Tsui Hark's support, in fact, Zhao Wenzhuo has only reached the level of a first-line kung fu movie star. Unfortunately, he has not been able to reach the level of a kung fu superstar.
There is another person who has the same experience as him, that is Fan Shaohuang. When Fan Shaohuang debuted, he also made it clear that he would join Chen Long and Li Lian in their class, but in the end he was not as successful as Zhao Wenzhuo, and he could basically only be in the second line.
rock.
And this time Fan Shaohuang was also one of the people Wang Zhengfei came to Hong Kong to find.
In his previous life, Fan Shaohuang played the role of a villain, and was quite successful. In "Ip Man", Fan Shaohuang is very successful in terms of appearance. He is rough and bold, and has tough skills.
In this film, he spent most of the time fighting against his opponents in Ip Man's duo mode, but unfortunately the plot was at a disadvantage. In fact, in addition to his fierce offensive in the fight, his defense and dodge, as well as his many
Details such as supporting the ground and turning around to resolve the force after being hit are more difficult than attacking.
Whenever humor appears, Fan Shaohuang's expressions and movements are also very well executed. After being taught by Ip Man with a feather duster, he protected his butt while showing aggrieved expression and dissatisfaction. It was really good for Jinshan to find this character.
, the wish of many viewers is that he can be inspired later, change his ways and join forces with Ip Man to fight against the enemy. Indeed, this is also the path of traditional kung fu movies, but in "Ip Man", Jin Shan found the villain all the way to the end, which is really surprising and exciting.
.
This role left a deep impression on Wang Zhengfei, so Wang Zhengfei was not ready to change this role, so he appointed Fan Shaohuang to play the role.
Wang Zhengfei arrived in Hong Kong, but he didn't know that a conspiracy surrounding him was unfolding.
In a small basement in Hong Kong, the sun doesn't even shine in.
Under the dim light, several burly men gathered around a table. There was nothing on the table except a photo. In the photo, Wang Zhengfei smiled extremely brightly.
At the other end of the table, a gentle middle-aged man in a suit and glasses looked at Wang Zhengfei in the photo with cold eyes, and a cold light flashed from time to time.
"Boss, it has been confirmed that Wang Zhengfei's plane will indeed arrive at two o'clock in the afternoon!" A big man said to the middle-aged man in a gentle suit.
"That's good, remember to act according to the plan when the time comes!" The middle-aged man said. They all spoke with northern accents from the mainland, which did not sound like the local accents of Hong Kong.
"Well, boss, what if that kid resists? Do you want to kill him?" A big man said, his eyes flashing fiercely.
"Idiot, if we really touch Wang Zhengfei, do you think we can understand this matter so well?" The middle-aged man said, "It's okay to kill an individual, but it also depends on the score. Who is that kid? He is the best in Asia.
Do you know how serious the consequences will be if something happens to a celebrity? The more influential people are, the more taboo they are about this!"
"But we are planning to capture him now. Is there any difference?" asked another big man.
"Idiot!" the middle-aged man said helplessly. These men are good at fighting, but they are also typically muscular and simple-minded. "Even if we capture him now, as long as we don't move him, there will be
There is room for relief, but once we touch him, we will fight to the death, do you know that?"
"You idiots, please remember, you must not touch a hair of this boy. We, why do we want to capture this boy? Do you still remember? We want to capture this boy and force Gao Yan to let us live, don't you?
Do you want to wander overseas for the rest of your life?" the middle-aged man said.
Xie Tian looked at these smart men with some helplessness, thinking that if he didn't explain it to them properly, there might be some problems.
The reason why he arrested Wang Zhengfei was very simple, in exchange for Gao Yan's promise that he could not continue to pursue their actions.
In the previous government's crackdown on piracy, he lost almost everything and fled to Hong Kong alone with millions and a few subordinates.
Originally, he started out by making pirated discs. In just a short period of time, he has amassed tens of millions in assets. It can be said that he is very proud of himself. Moreover, there is almost no cost for piracy, and he can make huge profits.
They originally did a good job in business, but nothing was lost in a raid yesterday.
All of this was a very big blow to him, and he was caught off guard. The current piracy group has been managed well and has developed into a huge industrial chain.
Many piracy syndicates have even mastered world-class digital film technology and have gone to the United States for further study.
Moreover, their piracy group not only has people from upstream to downstream, but also people in law enforcement departments. Before each raid, they will get advance information and quickly find countermeasures, so they are not afraid of any problems at all.
In order to protect their own interests, film distributors and genuine audio and video product manufacturers gradually reached a certain balance with pirates from the initial comprehensive crackdown to the launch of low-priced genuine DVDs - domestic films during their theatrical release in mainland China.
, pirates try not to produce pirated copies, and even if they must, they will only produce "gun copies" with unclear picture quality. However, the box office surge of domestic blockbusters in recent years has changed the situation.
In particular, the popularity of "Qin Shi Mingyue" throughout Asia has caused many pirates to turn their attention to domestic blockbusters. It would be a pity if such a good film was pirated. He was the most vicious pirate in the beginning.
One of several piracy syndicates also made a lot of money using "Qin Shi Mingyue". After tasting the benefits, he was about to continue his efforts, but he did not expect that the crackdown fell from the sky. The insiders who had given him information every time in the past...
There was no time to give out the news. In that raid, their group suffered heavy losses.
All the pirated discs were confiscated, as well as the machines, and the crackdown went far beyond that. As far as he knew, several bosses of the pirate groups were arrested and sentenced. It was said that they would be sentenced to at least 20 years.
A prison sentence of more than 20 years, with no commutation of the sentence in between.
As for those bosses, who are not middle-aged people over forty years old, these twenty years have been so long, and after being sentenced, they are almost all words, with a bright future, and they may even die in it.
If he hadn't acted according to the situation and ran fast this time, he would definitely be the one who was arrested. But even so, the police couldn't help but set a dragnet to arrest him everywhere. He was hiding everywhere like a lost dog.
.
This unexpected change made him think a lot, and finally came to the conclusion that this incident must have offended someone powerful, so he got such a big revenge. You know, the Ministry of Public Security can order
The background of the raids is not ordinary, and this character is undoubtedly Gao Yan, who was outraged by the piracy before.
In his opinion, Gao Yan's previous anti-piracy declaration was just a joke. He has been clamoring to crack down on piracy for so many years, but it is impossible to actually crack down on piracy.
There is a saying that nothing is difficult in the world, as long as you are willing to climb. Is it difficult to crack down on piracy? It is not difficult. As long as the government is determined, all piracy groups are just a cloud. But why are they still banned repeatedly? That is because there is such a
A chain of interests that rotted from within Zheng Ax bound him, making Zheng Ax's actions always constrained.
Therefore, those pirates are not afraid of political crackdowns at all. Let alone a company clamoring to fight back against piracy, it is basically just a few words, what can you do to me?
But I didn't expect Gao Yan's counterattack to be so sharp. This boss who was just emerging in the entertainment industry was very clever, beyond most people's imagination, and more importantly, the opponent's background was so strong that he could command the police.
There is no one they can afford to offend.
So in fact, until now, he has no real intention to confront Gao Yan. He still has this self-awareness. The reason why he wants to arrest Wang Zhengfei this time is just to hope that Gao Yan can make a promise and let them live without killing them all!
