new kung fu king

Chapter 214 Company Expansion
After Golden Harvest tasted the sweetness of filming "The Way of the Dragon" abroad, it immediately used the combination of Luo Wei and Wang Yu to go to Japan to rush to produce "Cold Faced Tiger". Luo Wei is also one of the great directors in Hong Kong, he is very smart I have learned from Wang Xiaohu's successful experience, and I have made a good improvement in the film's martial arts action, and I have also polished and plumped up the script, and added Wang Yu's acting style. It took two and a half months to finish and return to Hong Kong. This is the most satisfying work in Luo Wei's current director career. He originally wanted to use this film to make a good comeback and revive his position as a pillar in Golden Harvest, but Wang Xiaohu suddenly jumped to solo at this time, and used "Ip Man" slapped himself hard!

This slap made Luo Wei dizzy. The 330 million box office of "Crimson Tiger" was like a child babbling in front of "Ip Man"'s 1021 million. It was so childish and ridiculous.

"330 million at the box office, excluding the cost of 100 million and the dividends from you and Wang Yu, the company finally gained 180 million, hey!" Zou Wenhuai lay on the sofa in a desolate manner, with a hint of unwillingness and helplessness in his tone, for his own He felt very guilty about the terrible consequences caused by his mistakes, all the regrets and painful inner struggles appeared on his face, and fell into the eyes of Luo Wei, Wang Yu and others.

"Wen Huai!" Yuan Xihua couldn't bear to go to Zou Wenhuai's side, grabbed his hand and said, "Don't hurt yourself because of these things, Wang Xiaohu and Bruce Lee just leave, our Golden Harvest's foundation is still there, we are still here With Luo Dao and Wang Yu, we have more choices."

Luo Wei seemed to be able to understand the sadness and struggle in Zou Wenhuai's heart. After thinking for a long time, he said, "Wenhuai, Golden Harvest is in a difficult period. Let my share of dividends be put in the company first." Feather winks.

Wang Yu couldn't help frowning. It seems that since Shaw's job-hopping, his stardom has lost a bit, and there are some signs that he can't gain a firm foothold in the Hong Kong film and television industry. The pattern of Hong Kong movies has changed with the rise of Bruce Lee and Wang Xiaohu. The appearance, the competition among peers has become more intense, and the appetite of the audience has also been raised to a certain level by the two of them. Now Jiahe is worse. After all, working hard here is not a long-term solution. It seems that I have to find a way out .

Wang Yu sighed in his heart, and after thinking for a while, he said: "Let's put my dividend in the company, anyway, I am also a member of Golden Harvest." Although there was some reluctance in his words, there was nothing he could do about it.

Zou Wenhuai couldn't believe his ears. He looked up at Luo Wei and Wang Yu, as if he wanted to express some gratitude, but he didn't know how to say it.

On the contrary, Yuan Xihua understood her husband's mood, and said to the two of them with a smile on his sad face: "My husband and wife have written down the kindness of the two of you today, and we will definitely meet in the future."

"Mrs. Zou, don't say such outrageous things." Wang Yu interrupted Yuan Xihua with a smile and said, "What we have to do now is not to regret, but to immediately come up with countermeasures to make up for the vacancy left by the two of them, so that the company's Losses are minimized!"

"Ayu is right, we have to discuss a countermeasure, we can't just watch the two of them continue to have fun." Luo Wei hurriedly echoed: "Wen Huai, I have a plan."

"Say it!" Zou Wenhuai's mind was in a mess at this time, and when he heard Luo Wei's words, he immediately grabbed his hand like a straw and said, "What plan?"

"It's actually very simple. "Ip Man" has become a huge hit right now. Didn't Wang Xiaohu shoot Wing Chun? Let's follow the trend and shoot a Wing Chun." Luo Wei sneered and pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose and said: "Wen Huai, you first Don't sigh, I know what you are going to say, although following the trend will get a bad reputation, it can save Golden Harvest's current difficult situation, and with the influence and appeal of "Ip Man", we can definitely gain a lot of money box office."

After all, Luo Wei is the originator of Hong Kong's masters who follow the trend. Zou Wenhuai's first work when he switched from Shaw Brothers was "One-armed Sword Fighting the Blind Man".It's not that Zou Wenhuai has never done it before, but Golden Harvest has achieved such brilliant achievements under his leadership. Golden Harvest is already the second largest film and television company in Hong Kong. Wouldn't it be ridiculed by colleagues if he followed suit?

Zou Wenhuai shook his head and sighed, "It's not right!"

"What's wrong with this?" Yuan Xihua was very supportive of Luo Wei's suggestion: "I think what Awei said is right, since Wang Xiaohu can make 1000 million at the box office, no matter how bad we are, we will always get a 500 million, right?"

The box office revenue that actually fell into the hands of Xiehe Film Company was just 750 million. After deducting the cost of filming and publicity, and paying dividends based on the performance of the actors, there were still more than 600 million left. This figure made Wang Xiaohu very satisfied.While winning Hong Kong's first box office myth since the opening of Hong Kong, he also completed the collection and rectification of the scattered theaters. The box office of 1021 million was placed there. Under the relentless public relations, it was finally recruited, and the next step is a more rapid integration and annexation plan.

Since these things cannot be done in secret, Wang Xiaohu simply put them on the bright side. What I am doing now is to let Xiehe rise, end the situation dominated by Shaw Brothers and Jiahe, play a Romance of the Three Kingdoms, so what if Jiahe is unwilling, Shao So what if Shi disagrees?
Wang Xiaohu is very clear about what he is doing. He is currently doing something that seems crazy in the eyes of others. He has not responded in the slightest to the jealousy and disdain in other people's eyes. "I just advanced the three hegemony competitions of Shaw Brothers, Golden Harvest, and New Art City by a few years. Even if I don't do this, Huang Baiming and the others will do it sooner or later. Instead of waiting for that time to be passive, it's better to take the opportunity to stir up this mess. It is the kingly way to make money when one's own strength is strong."

However, there is another thing that makes Wang Xiaohu feel a headache, that is, Xiehe Company is growing day by day, and Bruce Lee belongs to the kind of existence at the level of a hands-off shopkeeper. He only has kung fu and movies in his mind, and the burden of company development and management falls on him virtually. and I have to be busy, the pressure has naturally increased a lot, especially recently, there have been so many entertainments, many theaters and investment companies have come to the door, and I am so busy that I can't breathe .

"Hey, it's time to increase professional and technical personnel!" Wang Xiaohu wrote down this plan in his notebook depressedly. He finally understood that starting a film and television company needs to face so many things. Such brilliance also has its own difficulties!

In fact, this kind of embarrassment was never thought of by Wang Xiaohu before. At first, he only wanted to make popular films and help Bruce Lee fulfill several big ambitions. Who knew that after joining the film industry, he was out of control, and his experience and courage grew rapidly. , It was so fast that he was dizzy, and it was not until then that he realized that starting a company was not an easy task.

"Shaonan, I will contact several major newspapers tomorrow. Xiehe Company wants to recruit management talents." After finishing all the requirements, Wang Xiaohu leaned back on the seat and thought for a while before adding: "Have Zhou Billy been found?"

"No! Uncle Yuan has tried his best to find it." Li Shaonan replied.

"Hey, going on like this is not the way to go, how about this, by the way, publish the news of looking for Billy Zhou in major newspapers, and use the media to find someone faster, if you don't get Billy Zhou here, Brother Xiaolong will beat him up! Wang Xiaohu sighed, grabbed the water glass and took a sip. Seeing that Li Shaonan was still standing in front of him and had no intention of leaving, he frowned and asked, "What else is there?"

Li Shaonan bit his lip and pondered for a long time, finally summoned up the courage to say: "Master, most of the time I and you have been busy doing odd jobs, actually."

"Actually, you want to say that you are wronged. You originally wanted to learn to write scripts from me, right?" Wang Xiaohu chuckled. Although Li Shaonan is not a few years younger than him, he is also diligent in his work, but he just talks sometimes. Things are still a bit rigid. "You can be a temporary secretary for a few days at ease. After the company recruits a new secretary, you can learn scripts by my side."

"En, um." Li Shaonan immediately became happy when he heard the words, and ran out with the notebook in his arms.

"This kid!" Wang Xiaohu smiled and shook his head, just at this moment the phone on the desk rang.

"Hi, I'm Wang Xiaohu, who are you looking for?"

"Hehe, Xiaohu, you speak very grandly now, and the boss's airs have also risen. My secretary has invited you out several times but I can't find anyone. Tell me, hit an old man like me more!"

Just by hearing the hearty laughter on the other side, Wang Xiaohu knew who the other party was, not the Shaw Brothers tycoon Run Run Shaw. "Uh, Uncle Six, hehe, I'm really busy recently. I have to be busy with setting up the company and helping Brother Xiaolong to make a new movie. It's not like Xiaohu is putting on airs or something."

"Okay, no need to explain, it's good for young people to be aggressive, do you have time now?" Run Run Shaw didn't blame, but said with a smile: "If you have time, come out for a cup of tea, I think Listen to your analysis of Hong Kong movies."

"Of course. I have time!" Wang Xiaohu gasped. In fact, he really wanted to say that he was very busy, but of course he didn't have time. You must know that now he is a busy person with tens of thousands of dollars every minute, but Shao Liushu put down his airs and personally I have an appointment with myself, if I don't give others face, I can't justify it, so I said with a smile: "Sixth Uncle, tell me a place, and I will rush there."

"Hehe, you're a smart kid, if you still dare to evade, I'll come and arrest you myself." Run Run Shaw scolded with a smile.
