Inside and Outside World

The movie continued. After defeating the gangsters, Ip Man began to look for a job in Chinatown, carrying bags on the pier. One day, his coworkers clashed with another group of workers robbing jobs, and the two sides fought at the pier.

One of the co-workers, a porter named Coolie Qiang, is played by Master Xu who practices Twelve-Road Tan Legs. In the movie, this guy is more entertaining than taekwondo, and watching the Americans in the theater was shocked one by one. Americans of this era have inherited the toughness of western cowboys and are no strangers to fights and duels, but they Never seen such a fight.

The dark-skinned "coolie strong" in ragged clothes and trousers on the screen, with kicking legs is really cool.

However, Master Jiang who practiced Qixing Tanglang Quan appeared.

The hands are pinched into the claws of a praying mantis, and the five fingers are curled up like hooks. Master Jiang's movements like a big praying mantis make all the audience wonder, can he fight like this? But soon the mantis boxing martial arts master reproduced the scene where he took out two kidneys in the ring. Of course, this was just a disguised scene by using corpses and props.

Coolie Qiang's abdomen was torn apart by tricky hands, his two hands stretched in and twirled around, grabbed his two waists and pulled them out again. There was a panic cry in the whole cinema, and many audience members stood up abruptly. Someone covered their eyes. If this **** and cruel fighting scene is nothing to do in the future, this era is simply a bomb!

The audience was completely shocked by this scene, but some of the filmmakers saw it from different angles. Mr. Adol Chukor, the president of Paramount in his 70s, raised a hand and touched his chin subconsciously.

In his opinion, in the movie just now, the scene of "Mantis Fist" breaking open the opponent's abdomen with both hands and grabbing out two kidneys may become a classic.

The coolie died on the screen. That night, Ye Wen saw the corpse of his worker and determined to take revenge.

After this episode, the initial ridicule of the audience has disappeared. They saw the weird and cruel Mantis Boxing, and they became worried about Ip Man as the protagonist. There were small discussions in the theater, most of which were "Ip Man Can you beat that demon? God bless him." Hearing such comments, Vivien Leigh clenched her fists secretly.

This movie, which started less than a quarter of an hour ago, has already mobilized the audience's emotions, and with the unprecedented fighting scenes, it will definitely be a success!

The next thing is the movie's little point, Wing Chun vs Mantis Boxing, Mantis Boxing is fierce and tricky, and the shot is fast, Wing Chun Boxing is tight defensively and the boxing method is also fast and flexible. The two Kung Fu masters in the movie are real hard skills. For the decisive battle on the pier, the photography refers to the storyboarding techniques of some later movies, and Yan Luo also asked the director to prepare a flock of pigeons.

The two stood on the pier, each fist collided with the fist wind, and at this time a gust of sea breeze blew by, and Ye Wen used Wing Chun to fight with his hands, blocking the tricky hand of the mantis fist, and then spasmed. A burst of platoon-breaking hands quickly broke through the opponent's defense, and the last kick hit Master Jiang's chest straight away.

Accompanied by the sound of "click", the ribs of the grand master of the Seven Star Mantis Boxing were broken, and he fell to the ground slowly in slow motion. The setting sun of blood.

Many viewers stared blankly with their mouths wide open. They didn't know what John Woo's aesthetics of violence were, but seeing the dark sky, gray sea, and blood-colored sunset, after a tense and intense and even depressing After the fierce battle, a group of pure white pigeons suddenly appeared. The impact of this picture brought a soul-deep shock to everyone.

"It's amazing."

Warner Bros., who was sitting in the VIP seat on the second floor, thought it was incredible. John used to be a director of their company but he was kicked out because he had no talent. Ip Man was filmed by John? This freeze-frame picture is enough to be recorded in the annals of film history, and he even doubts whether it is Hitchcock's work.

"However, it's a little unwise to put such a wonderful battle in the first half hour of the movie, and then go straight to the end. The audience's emotions will be mobilized the most. If the next plot is a little dull and dull, I look forward to it. The feeling will drop rapidly, which will have a great impact on the rhythm of the entire film."

Warner Bros. whispered while continuing to watch. In the movie, Ip Man defeated Master Jiang but did not kill him. The mantis boxing master was grateful and suggested that he set up a martial arts gym in Chinatown, but there are already eight martial arts gyms here that must defeat all of them. Only the master can get permission.

What follows is a fight and a fight. This movie doesn't have any complicated connotations. As a kung fu movie, it just needs to be enjoyable.

Xingyiquan, Cai Lifo, Tongbeiquan, Shaolin Luohanquan, a variety of different martial arts boxing methods appeared on the stage. When Ye Wen hit the fifth martial arts gym, plum blossom piles appeared. "Ma" faced the master of plum blossom boxing, and the audience were dumbfounded.

Such a wooden pile, even if you can't stand firmly, can you fight on it? This is too exaggerated.

However, in the seventh martial arts school, a round table appeared again, fighting between the square inches of the table. This is a reference to the movie "Ip Man 2".

In short, one martial arts gym after another challenged, and Ip Man, who finally defeated the eight major martial arts gyms, was qualified to open the "Wing Chun Gym". These masters were not convinced and invited a reclusive boxer: Master Hong. Similar, with a ferocious face and extraordinary demeanor, plus the "iron wire fist" with eight iron rings on his arms, the aura of the boss immediately calmed down all the audience.

In the last battle, Ip Man could not fight the Hong family's iron fist with bare hands, so he used the Wing Chun Eight Cutting Swords!

The weapon battle, which is completely different from the previous bare-handed combat, made the audience dazzled by the various boxing techniques feel a huge shock once again.

In the end, Ye Wen won the victory by chopping eight iron rings with eight chopping knives.

This "Ip Man" is enough to be called a masterpiece even in the eyes of people in the outside world, and the "cool" degree even exceeds the "Ip Man" movie in the outside world. After all, aren't kung fu movies all about fighting? From the initial fight against gangsters to the final fight against the boss Hongjia Iron Line Fist, plus the competition between Mantis Fist and the Eight Great Martial Arts Schools, there are a total of 11 battles, with various styles and genres, enough to make people look mesmerized drunk.

Would it be cumbersome if there were too many fighting plots?

Of course not. After all, "Chinese Kung Fu" is completely unfamiliar to Americans today. Besides, people in this era usually watch dramas and romance movies, and there are very few real action movies, let alone groundbreaking new themes.

At the end of the 2-hour movie, no one left in the theater. There was a moment of silence at first, and as the first person stood up and applauded, there was a tsunami of cheers and applause in the theater, and many audience members burst into tears: "It's incredible!"

For Americans today, the movie "Ip Man" is like the games everyone played in the 1980s were Tank Wars, Super Mario, and Contra. Suddenly seeing World of Warcraft, this shocking feeling is completely beyond Imagination also transcends the times! Now it is 1951, and Ip Man will not be obsolete if he waits until 50 years later to go to the screening.

The theater lights came on, and John and Vivien Leigh stood on the podium.

"Thank you, thank you all for your applause."

Vivien Leigh's face was flushed with excitement. Although she didn't show up in this movie, everything from reviewing the script to finding a director, filming and post-editing, and half a month's promotion was basically due to her efforts.

Now the woman is feeling as if she has seen her own child, grown up and achieved great success.

That intense sense of happiness and contentment!

The applause in the theater lasted for five minutes before it stopped. Vivien Leigh said emotionally: "I now... really feel like I am standing on the Oscar podium, but even if I get the best actress again, It will not be as strong as this time, after all, I was standing on the podium as an actor at that time, this time, I am the screenwriter and producer of the film."

In this era, even the most well-known movie stars do not have a high status in the entire movie industry.

Only in an era when social productive forces are highly developed and people's living standards are extremely high can the status of entertainment stars surpass all other industries. In the 1950s, actors were not as good as the future. Now Vivien Leigh has re-entered the film industry as a screenwriter and producer. It can be said that with this Ip Man, her qualifications will be completely different in the future.

"The protagonist of this movie is called Ip Man. In fact, the one who plays Ip Man is the Chinese kung fu master: Ip Man himself."

"It's a pity that Mr. Ip Man didn't come to Chinatown in San Francisco."

At this time, someone shouted from below: "Miss Vivien Leigh, are all the Chinese Kung Fu in this movie real?"

"of course it's true!"

Vivien Leigh explained with a smile: "When I went to San Francisco for an investigation, I witnessed the Seven Star Mantis Boxing with my own eyes... It was the master Jiang who killed the coolie in the movie, and used the same technique to take out another person's kidney in the ring. And the last part of the movie Master Hong, fighting a young man with an iron fist, destroyed all the iron rings by a kind of kung fu called hard qigong."

"Do you know why the movie was shot in only two days? Because these people are acting in their true colors. They play themselves in the movie and use their own kung fu to compete. Of course, the shooting is fast."

"It's amazing, it's really amazing."

Originally, Adol Chukor had a contemptuous and hostile attitude towards the film shot in 2 days, but now he has been conquered by Ip Man.

The old man stood up with a civilized stick: "Such a masterpiece was shot in two days. I can foresee that this movie will be remembered by history. I will think of this great movie by Ip Man. Great Chinese people, great Chinese Kung Fu, I thought Chinese people are all evil people like Fu Manchu, Chinatown is a place full of crimes, now I see a different place .”

"Papa papa..."

The applause sounded again, and Chu Keer made a downward gesture and continued, "Miss Vivien Leigh, how did you come up with the idea of ​​making a Chinese Kung Fu movie?"

"This movie actually has a screenwriter besides me. I just made some suggestions and modifications based on the script he provided."

Vivien Leigh paused for a few seconds, then said, "Do you still remember the oriental boy I recommended to you?"

"Could it be..."

Chukor was a little curious and surprised.

"Yeah, he's the guy who actually wrote the script for this movie."

"Mr. Yan Luo, please come to the stage."

Yan Luo originally wanted to leave after watching the movie in a low-key manner, but now it seems that he can no longer be low-key.

Suddenly became the focus of everyone's attention, and many of them were celebrities and big shots. If it was an ordinary person, I might be nervous, but Yan Luo was a person who used to "combat all the sages". The top hat bowed to everyone, and then took off the sunglasses that covered his face.

In the theater, it became silent again in an instant.

"This…"

Adol Chukor looked shocked. Is this the "most beautiful person in the world" that Vivien Leigh said? Sure enough... With such an appearance and temperament, I am afraid that nothing will appear in the movie. It is just a beautiful scenery... Why is there such a beautiful person in this world? Just like an angel! Such beauty has transcended gender.

"Hi everyone, I'm Yan Luo."

Yan Luo, who mastered eight foreign languages, greeted everyone in pure English.

"I'm glad that everyone likes this movie: Ip Man."

"I, as a Chinese, have always wanted to introduce Chinese Kung Fu to everyone through movies. China, an ancient oriental country with a civilization of 5,000 years~www.wuxiaspot.com~Although it has fallen in modern times , but the greatness left in history is vast. Kung fu is one of our inheritance, in fact...we have even more powerful ones, called Xianxia."

Of course, these people didn't understand what Yan Luo said about "Xianxia", but after watching such a wonderful film, these American audiences became very interested in the ancient oriental civilization.

"Now, everyone here should think that kung fu movies are good to watch, right?"

"I want to tell you a piece of news. In fact... there is a more exciting Kung Fu movie in preparation, and I will start shooting when I return to San Francisco. Ip Man took 2 days, and we plan to take 20 days for that movie. , or even a month. Ip Man’s Chinese kung fu is actually only a small part, do you know what is the most powerful and most exciting kung fu?”

"Tai Chi and Baguazhang, because these two are not only kung fu, but also philosophy."

"Actually, all over the world, many civilizations have their own kung fu, Brazil's jiu jitsu and capola kicks, Thailand's boxing, the Philippines' stick method, Japan's kendo... The next kung fu movie will bring all genres together , the protagonist...I will play in person, and of course, the great master Ip Man of this movie will also appear. The name of the movie is set to be Death Game...stay tuned."
