Chapter 217 The Opportunity to Enter the Mainland Market

Wang Xiaohu also has another cooperation project with Run Run Shaw, which is to rent the film and television shooting base of Shaw Brothers Clear Water Bay, which is the "Dream Factory" of Eastern Hollywood. Take off a city within a city, all the actors live in it, and the supporting facilities are very complete.

Wang Xiaohu thought that after the company got on the right track, it would follow suit to set up such a shooting base, which was another kind of cost investment. After all, after leaving Golden Harvest, the shooting progress of "Warrior" was delayed a lot. Setting up the set takes a lot of time.

After the interior shooting of "Warrior" came to a standstill, Bruce Lee seemed a little restless. He couldn't wait for the film to be completed. He asked Wang Xiaohu several times to discuss the script. In fact, Wang Xiaohu had no choice. After all, the company faced difficulties at present, but In order to comfort Bruce Lee, he still suggested that the crew go to South Korea to take the location, so that after the location shooting is completed, the personnel and interior layout here are basically done, and the rest of the scenes will be filmed when they come back from Korea.

After serious consideration, Bruce Lee reluctantly accepted this fact, and took Yuan Heping, Sammo Hung, Lin Zhengying, Chen Huiyi and others to South Korea. As for Wang Xiaohu, he stayed in Hong Kong to improve the company's various institutions, and even supervised the recruitment of personnel. .

The news of looking for Billy Zhou has been published in the newspapers for two consecutive days. There are quite a few Billy Zhou who have heard the news, but unfortunately none of them are the Billy Zhou whom Wang Xiaohu knew. This made Wang Xiaohu very annoyed. There are no less than 20 Billy Zhou with the same name and surname, which is really strange!

After making an unknown fuss, the door of the office was pushed open, but Chow Yun-fat stood at the door with some trepidation and waited for Wang Xiaohu to agree to enter, "Fazi, you are here, come in and sit down."

Chow Yun-fat walked over with a smile. Today's Fazi can be described as high-spirited. The character "Li Zhao" allows him to thoroughly enjoy the taste of being a star, but he still maintains a cautious look in front of Wang Xiaohu, even sitting on the sofa for only half a seat. butt. "Boss, I heard that you have something to tell me."

"En." Wang Xiaohu nodded and found a letter of intent for training signed with Run Run Shaw from the drawer, saying: "The company plans to send you to the TVB wireless artist training class for a few months. Learn and hone your acting skills.”

"Ah!" Chow Yun-fat felt as if he was stunned by the great joy, his face was full of uncontrollable joy, and he stammered a little: "Isn't it good for the boss?"

Wang Xiaohu was taken aback: "Why, don't you like the company's arrangement?"

"No, no, no." Chow Yun-fat hurriedly gesticulated with his hands: "It's not that I don't like it, but I like it very much. It's just that I'm not an official employee of the company yet. If I'm sent to participate in training, other brothers will have some criticisms."

"Ha!" Wang Xiaohu was happy, "It's good if you have this awareness. I can make decisions about the company's affairs. No one will have an opinion on you. Your task is to attend training for me honestly. I hope you come back. It’s time to improve my acting.”

"En!" Chow Yun-fat nodded heavily.

"Also, you are a member of the third training period. There may be Ren Dahua and Wu Mengda in this period. Make a good relationship with these two. They are the talents I value. If possible, take the opportunity to hook them up for me. "Wang Xiaohu smirked and instigated Chow Yun-fat: "Remember, these tasks are all done in secret, don't make it too obvious!" The training should be in 73, we mentioned that August 72 came, no wonder, just take it as a cooperation between Xiaohu and Shao Daheng.)
"Boss, I know." Chow Yun-fat agreed with a smile. He could feel the sinister taste from the smile of the young boss. It seemed that he would have to work part-time in some disgraceful underground jobs during this training, but these were nothing , if there is no boss who is willing to take the risk to praise himself, I am afraid that he would not be as glorious as he is now.

After seeing off the excited Chow Yun-fat, Wang Xiaohu received an emergency call from Run Run Shaw.

"Xiaohu, there was something important to discuss in the teahouse last time, come quickly!" Run Run Shaw's phone call was simple and clear, and he hung up the phone after speaking, leaving Wang Xiaohu stunned and confused.

Which one did Run Run Shaw play?Could it be that they want to overthrow the previous cooperative relationship? No way, both parties have signed a valid contract under the witness of a lawyer. Besides, Run Run Shaw is not the kind of capricious person.Wang Xiaohu rushed to the teahouse by taxi with some puzzlement.

The same tea house, the same private room, the same beautiful waitresses in cheongsam, but this time they are no longer drinking the elegant Kung Fu tea, but the big bowl of tea in Guangdong, where the tea is boiled in a big teapot and poured directly into the tea bowl , and BJ's big bowl of tea still has some similarities, which made Wang Xiaohu feel very kind. After sitting down, he saw that although Run Run Shaw was holding a teacup, he didn't have the slightest intention of drinking tea, and his brows were tightly frowned. I don't know what's bothering me.

Wang Xiaohu sat down for a long time, seeing that he hadn't responded yet, so he asked, "Uncle Six, why are you in a daze."

"Ah? Xiaohu, you're here." Startled, Run Run Shaw immediately let go of his frowning brows, put the tea bowl on the table and said, "Oh, I've been waiting for you for a long time, and you're finally here. Tell me about it." What to do!"

At this time, the beautiful woman in the cheongsam left with great interest, leaving room for the two of them to talk. Sometimes Wang Xiaohu suspected that the beautiful woman in the cheongsam was Shao Daheng's little secretary, or he would see her serving twice after he came.But he didn't dare to say such thoughts, it's no fun to anger Run Run Shaw.

"Uncle Six, what made you so anxious, tell me, if Xiaohu can reach out, he won't shirk it."

"What I'm waiting for is your words!" Run Run Shaw clapped his hands excitedly and said with a calmness that didn't match his sixties now: "I've thought about it, you are the best person to make this happen. .”

Wang Xiaohu was dumbfounded, thinking that there are things in Hong Kong that you Shao Daheng can't do?Shaking his head with a wry smile, he said, "Sixth Uncle, are you making fun of me? I fell to the ground and did something mysterious."

Run Run Shaw leaned over slightly, covered his lips with his hands and whispered cautiously: "Listen to me, someone over there wants to watch your Xiehe film."

"Which side?" Wang Xiaohu's brows gradually frowned: "Uncle Liu, we are also strategic partners now, can you say something clearly."

"Oh, that's over there!" Run Run Shaw anxiously pointed to the north and said, "Over there, the mainland!"

"Uh!" Wang Xiaohu became more suspicious: "Do you want to watch Xiehe movies on the mainland?"

"Yes." Run Run Shaw nodded, and said with a serious expression: "The roll call depends on "Fist of Fury" and "Ip Man."

"What the hell is going on? Could it be that the mainland wants to import these two films?" Wang Xiaohu was completely dumbfounded. The mainland is currently in the era of the Great Revolution, and the relationship with Hong Kong has not reached the harmony that he remembered. Who would be at this time? Hastily introduced the mainland broadcast.

Run Run Shaw shook his head and said, "It's not that I want to show the film, but I want to get a copy over there. I heard that there are people in Guangdong who want to watch it."

After Wang Xiaohu heard the words, he suddenly fell into memories. Some memories seemed to flood into his brain in a hazy moment, but he couldn't catch the slightest point. Ip Man", when he thought his head was about to explode, he suddenly thought of a rumor, and immediately understood the key point, could it be, could it be true, if so, it would be great!But, why is it two years ahead of schedule?He remembered that this rumor actually started to happen in 74, which was one year after Bruce Lee's death.

"Whatever, let's say two years in advance, it's not a bad thing anyway!" Wang Xiaohu pondered in his heart, and the expression on his face changed from confusion to relaxation to ecstasy. In just one minute, three expressions appeared one after another. Run Run Shaw was puzzled.

Wang Xiaohu was happy, but Run Run Shaw was in a hurry, "Xiaohu, you have something to say, do you agree to this matter or not?"

"Yes, why not!" Wang Xiaohu patted his thigh and said loudly: "This is a great thing, I have no reason to refuse!"

"It's still a good thing?" Now it was Run Run Shaw's turn to be surprised, "Aren't you afraid that the mainland will criticize you?"

"Hehe, it's okay, isn't it just watching two movies, it's not so outrageous."

After Wang Xiaohu figured out the key, he didn't worry at all. On the contrary, he thought that if the rumor was true, this would be a good opportunity, an opportunity to enter the mainland market.After all, the market in Hong Kong will be restricted by region and population, while the mainland is still a blank market, which means that there are more profit margins to squeeze.

"Uncle Six, I'm curious as to who actually found you." Wang Xiaohu asked immediately.

Run Run Shaw sighed and said: "A lawyer friend of mine, he was entrusted by the head of the Hong Kong Branch of the China Information Administration to come to see me, but you know that the relationship between Wen Huai and I is not very harmonious, and he is urging me If you want to copy, after much deliberation, I have to find you."

Wang Xiaohu nodded after hearing the words, thinking that since there is a line from the Huaxia News General Administration, it should be right!Wang Xiaohu didn't mention that refreshing in his heart!

"Uncle Six, don't worry, I will take care of this matter as soon as possible."

"That "Fist of Fury" seems to be the copyright of Golden Harvest, right? Aren't you afraid that Wen Huai will sue you?"

"Haha, a lawsuit?" Wang Xiaohu laughed and said, "It doesn't matter if Jiahe wants to go to a lawsuit. Don't you have a lawyer friend, Uncle Six? , let's see who can hold it up"
