Reborn in Hong Kong: The Kung Fu Movie Star's Additional Training

Chapter 13 Shaw Brothers Studios Opening Ceremony

Time is like lightning.

Three days passed in a blink of an eye.

On this day, Chen Fei arrived at Shaw Studios early in the morning.

……

Shaw Brothers Cinema is located in Tai Po Tsai, Clear Water Bay, Kowloon, Hong Kong Island.

This film and television base has been in operation since 1961 and has made great contributions to the golden age of Hong Kong's film industry.

Chen Fei raised his eyes and looked at the giant sign standing on the roof of Shaw Brothers Studios.

It is inlaid with the corporate logo of Shaw Brothers, and the two characters SB shine goldenly under the blue sky.

His mood changed from awe-inspiring to inexplicably laughing.

These two letters did not mean swearing in this era.

It represents the English abbreviation of Shaw Brothers and represents the bright glory of Hong Kong movies.

However, Chen Fei still couldn't help laughing.

The reason why I want to laugh may also be because today is my first day in the group and I am in high spirits.

Another reason is because of Shi Tian.

Shi Tian arrived earlier than Chen Fei and waited quietly in Studio No. early in the morning.

In private, this comedian from Shaw Brothers Films is not as exaggerated and humorous as in the movie.

However, his serious expression looked even more inexplicably happy.

He looks like a very enterprising Chaplin.

Shi Tian performed well in Wu Siyuan's last kung fu film "Snake", so his position is indispensable in the crew of "Drunken Master".

When Wu Siyuan introduced Chen Fei to Shi Tian, ​​he politely extended his hand to shake.

Unexpectedly, when Chen Fei raised his hand to greet him, Shi Tian's hand turned around in an inexplicable way, and inexplicably held hands with Huang Zhengli, who had just arrived. He then turned his head and winked at Chen Fei.

Korean kung fu master Huang Zhengli always has an expressionless face, and Shi Tian also deliberately looks blank.

The two stood together, neither of them speaking, but there was an inexplicable sense of humor.

All the crew present were so amused that they couldn't help but laugh.

……

Suddenly there was a sound of brisk footsteps, and the dragon and tiger martial arts masters rushed to greet him.

It turned out that director Yuan Heping had arrived.

Behind him, followed by a hale and hearty sixty-year-old man.

This old man has light steps and a strong body. He looks kind and friendly, but not angry or intimidating.

It turned out to be Yuan Heping's father, Yuan Xiaotian, a famous martial arts instructor in Xiangjiang.

The old man has been engaged in martial arts movies for more than 40 years. He is highly respected and deeply loved by the dragon and tiger martial arts masters.

He retired behind the scenes for seven or eight years, and only agreed to come out again in order to support Wu Siyuan and Yuan Heping's new career in kung fu movies.

"Chen Fei, come and meet our great master Yuan Daxia."

Wu Siyuan led Chen Fei forward, showing extra respect to Yuan Xiaotian.

"Uncle Yuan, this is Chen Fei, the star of the new movie." He solemnly introduced Chen Fei to Yuan Xiaotian.

"Chen Fei?" Yuan Xiaotian stopped at Chen Fei's body and looked up and down a few times.

His face darkened, and he said, "This is the young man who replaced Chenglong?"

He turned his head and glanced at Yuan Heping: "I hope he is as skilled as you said."

"It's not in vain that I let go of my happy retirement days and come here to accompany you, huh."

Yuan Heping smiled and said, "Don't worry, I won't let you down."

It turned out that Wu Siyuan and Yuan Heping decided to independently produce the film in the form of kung fu comedy. At that time, they didn't have any big stars, and they couldn't find any suitable actors to film the old master in "Serpentine Hands".

In the embarrassing situation where actors are monopolized by Shaw Brothers, they can only find Yuan Heping's father.

Yuan Xiaotian has retired for many years, and Yuan Heping also said that his father may not be willing to agree.

Unexpectedly, after asking, Yuan Xiaotian would actually come out.

With his good skills and suitable image, the movie "Snake" became a box office hit, and it was his lucky stars who helped him.During the cooperation in that drama, Yuan Xiaotian also developed a deep affection for Chenglong, his young nephew.

Because Yuan Xiaotian and Chenglong's master Yu Zhanyuan were brothers, they naturally looked at Chenglong differently.

Knowing that Chenglong could not participate in the filming of the new movie "Drunken Master", he was extremely unhappy.

……

Yuan Xiaotian sat down on the director's chair and stopped looking at Chen Fei.

Chen Fei looked at the old naughty boy in front of him who came out of the memory of the movie, but his heart was always filled with respect.

"I will definitely satisfy you, old man." He made up his mind secretly.

At this time, a sweet girl's voice said hello from a distance.

"Director Wu, Master Yuan, hello everyone!"

The sound is soft and crisp, like an oriole emerging from the valley, which makes people feel indescribably comfortable.

Chen Fei looked up and his eyes lit up.

This bright, soft and gentle girl is actually the great beauty Zhao Yazhi.

Recently, Chen Fei often accompanied his parents to watch TVB's "The Heaven and the Dragon Sword", in which it was Zhao Yazhi who played Zhou Zhiruo, so he was particularly impressed.

In his previous life, Chen Fei had seen the old Zhao Yazhi. Although his youth had passed, he was still so charming.

In this era, Zhao Yazhi, who was born in the beauty pageant of Miss Hong Kong, is at the young age of 24 or , and her temperament is so good that it makes people's heart beat.

Wu Siyuan greeted him with a smile.

"Okay, having Azhi as a guest star really adds to the beauty of our "Drunken Master" crew!"

It turns out that there is a role of Huang Feihong's cousin in "Drunken Master", which was originally scheduled to be played by Yang Panpan.

Unexpectedly, as the filming was approaching, Yang Panpan could not join the team due to personal reasons.

It just so happened that Zhao Yazhi was filming a movie at Shaw Brothers Studios No. Studio at this stage.

Wu Siyuan extended the invitation, and Zhao Yazhi happily joined.

Zhao Yazhi has a quiet personality, standing beside Chen Fei obediently and politely, not talking too much.

Soon, she also noticed the handsome and upright young man beside her, and couldn't help but sneak a few more glances.

When she found that Chen Fei was also looking at her, her cheeks turned cutely red, and she hurriedly shifted her gaze.

……

It was exactly nine o'clock in the morning.

It was an auspicious time for the crew of "Drunken Master" to start filming.

The movie-starting worship ceremony began.

The long tables lined up were covered with red cloth, and there were roasted suckling pigs and various fruit sacrifices on them, and glasses of white wine were placed in front of them.

Incense and candles were brightly lit, and smoke filled the air.

Wu Siyuan's voice was calm and resonant, echoing in the cinema.

"I, the crew, and I, would like to burn incense and kowtow today to pay respect to the ghosts and gods of heaven and earth, to the gods and goddesses, to Emperor Guan, and to the founder of our industry!"

"Bless us for a smooth filming process, good weather, avoid evil spirits, and everything is safe!"

After saying that, he bowed his head and raised incense to worship.

All the leading actors on the set were also lined up, and everyone held a handful of incense and worshiped respectfully.

Then the long strings of firecrackers on both sides exploded, and the smoke filled the air.

The lion dances vigorously and vigorously amidst the sound of gongs and drums.

Wu Siyuan and Yuan Heping each picked up their brushes and dipped them in red paint.

Apply a little force on the two big ring-shaped eyes of the lion's head to make the eyes of the lion awake.

Then, the red silk cloth that covered the camera to ward off evil spirits was lifted by two people.

The film crew of "Drunken Master" has grandly started filming!
-
ps. The character Zhao Yazhi is set to be unmarried at this time, which is somewhat different from the actual situation.

After all, many things will be changed in the reborn world, so let’s just make it better.
