new kung fu king

Chapter 218
Everyone in Xiangjiang knows that the real director of "Fist of Fury" and "Ip Man" is Wang Xiaohu. Even Bruce Lee admitted in public that his classic masterpiece "Fist of Fury" was written by Wang Xiaohu, acting as a martial arts instructor and assistant director Completed.

Ordinarily, if the domestic side wants to borrow a film, they should first go to Zou Wenhuai or Wang Xiaohu, not Run Run Shaw.

Wang Xiaohu also felt very strange when he saw this secret in his previous life, but now he found out through Shao Runfu's dictation that there were several detours in the middle: the domestic side found the director of the Xiangjiang Branch of the China Information Administration, and the director found Benagy, a senior barrister who has friendly relations with China, but only Run Run Shaw is the only one Benagy can find in the film circle, so he can only find Run Run Shaw, so after a lot of twists and turns, he finally settled down to Wang Xiaohu, the real director. on the head.

Hearing Wang Xiaohu's agreement, Run Run Shaw breathed a sigh of relief, took a drink of tea and said, "It should be no problem to ask Benagy for things like a lawsuit, after all, he owes us a favor now. It's just that I still I am a little worried about watching movies in China, what if they value your directorial talent and ask you to go to China to shoot model plays? You also know that the country is relatively turbulent now, if you are not careful, you may be lost."

"Oh! Uncle Liu, don't scare me. Xiehe Company is not perfect yet, and I still have a lot of movies to make." Wang Xiaohu pretended to be a little scared, and said pitifully, "Uncle Liu, this matter I won't do it, you should discuss it with Zou Wenhuai, I don't want to move my head!"

Such a rapid change by Wang Xiaohu exceeded Run Run Shaw's expectations. He stared and said, "Ah? Why do you backtrack, kid!"

"Who made Xiaohu young and inexperienced? After Uncle Six's analysis just now, I realized that I was fooled by Uncle Six." Wang Xiaohu shook his head like a rattle: "No, I'm not married yet, and I haven't passed enough to be a director yet. What about your addiction, Sixth Uncle, you should go find someone else!"

Such childish words made Run Run Shaw dumbfounded. Looking at him, he sighed and said, "What do you want to do before you agree to help?"

"Uncle Six, if this kind of thing goes wrong, people will die. You old man is over half a century old, so you don't care. A young man like me still has a lot of youth to squander. Your old man said it, I am The future star of the Xiangjiang film industry, but no matter how bright the star is, it must be alive to be effective."

Wang Xiaohu's eyeballs rolled around, that kind of helplessness and sadness made Run Run Shaw retreat again, he waved his hand and said, "It's alright, alright, you kid, hurry up and make the terms!"

"Hey, Uncle Six, you said this, I didn't ask you!" Originally, Wang Xiaohu wanted to agree happily, but who knew that Run Run Shaw babbled a lot of such things again, how could he give up this pain if he didn't want to suffer? As for the opportunity to slaughter Tycoon Shao, so the scene just now was staged, maybe with the improvement of acting skills, this performance of pretending to be pitiful, greedy for life and fear of death is too real, maybe Tycoon Shao is really anxious about this matter, anyway , his goal was achieved.

Wang Xiaohu raised his eyebrows and said, "Sixth Uncle, you see, I have to take risks for your old man, so you can lower the share of the theaters. The box office will be [-]% in the first week, and [-]% in the second week."

Run Run Shaw looked at Wang Xiaohu again with a strange look in his eyes, with a hint of inexplicable taste. When Wang Xiaohu exposed the fox's tail completely, he realized that this boy took the opportunity to take advantage of the box office profit. "Okay, boy, you play beautifully with this hand, let me tell you, no way!"

"If you don't have a door, you can open a window!"

"The windows won't be opened either!" Run Run Shaw turned his head away angrily, "Shaw's foundation is huge, and I need to feed hundreds of people!"

"Is there not a thousand people behind my butt?"

Wang Xiaohu made up his mind that if he didn't get some benefits from Shao Daheng today, he would resolutely not agree to borrow the film. Anyway, he expected that Shao Liushu would not be able to go to Zou Wenhuai to borrow a copy of "Jing Fu Men".

The whole atmosphere in the private room was a bit weird, Run Run Shaw suddenly raised his head and looked into Wang Xiaohu's eyes.

After a long silence, he pointed at Wang Xiaohu's face and cursed with a smile: "Now I begin to understand why you are so successful. You are a rascal! Anyone who shows any money will be targeted by you!"

"Uh, so Uncle Six, do you agree?" Wang Xiaohu quickly stood up, picked up the teapot, poured a bowl of tea for Run Run Shao and said with a smile, "Thank you for that, Uncle Six. I will send the contract back to Shaonan, please. Always sign and stamp."

"You are the one who doesn't see rabbits and don't scatter eagles!" Run Run Shaw grabbed the tea and drank it angrily, "Let your people bring the film with you, so that I can save you after I sign it, and then you can find any excuses to blackmail me." I."

"Look at what you said, Uncle Six, am I such a rascal?" Wang Xiaohu smiled smugly, anyway, the benefits have been reaped, and the change in the box office share means he has more profits to take. As for being called a rascal by Run Run Shaw, it doesn't matter what?It is estimated that many people in the outside world want this title but still can't get it!

Run Run Shaw stared back with a questioning look, drank a few sips of tea and left with a sigh.

When Wang Xiaohu was the only one left in the private room, he suddenly lay down on the chair and burst out laughing. It was the exaggerated laugh of Master Xing of the previous life, which made the beauty in the cheongsam outside the door shudder when she heard it. He looked at the door in surprise, as if wondering what ridiculous things happened in the private room.

Just when the cheongsam beauty was hesitating whether to go in and see what happened, Wang Xiaohu pushed the door out, looked carefully at the cheongsam beauty, then made a charming smile, and walked away whistling.

The beauty in the cheongsam blinked, tilted her head and wondered what happened to the big star today.
After Wang Xiaohu returned to the company, the first thing he arranged was to ask Li Shaonan to buy all the newspapers from the Xiangjiang Branch of the China Information Administration for nearly half a year.He wanted to reconfirm the authenticity of the rumor through the information in the newspaper.

Li Shaonan had been busy for most of the day, and at dusk, with the help of several employees, he finally brought a large pile of newspapers to him.

"Well, let's put it all here. If there's nothing else, you get off work first." Wang Xiaohu stood up and untied a bundle of newspapers and said.

"What about you, Master?" Li Shaonan said, "Aren't you going back with us?"

"No, I still have to work overtime." After Wang Xiaohu finished speaking, he ignored Li Shaonan, picked up the bundle of newspapers and sat down on the boss's chair to read them line by line.

Most of the newspapers of the Xiangjiang branch of the Huaxia News Agency introduce what happens every day in the fragrance, and most of the information is true records. In fact, the really secret things will not be reported to the mainland through newspapers, so it is a bit difficult to check.

It took Wang Xiaohu nearly two hours to read a bundle, but he didn't find any valuable news from it.

"Damn, that's weird!" Wang Xiaohu unwrapped another bundle unswervingly. This time he had already begun to collect information by means of one glance at ten lines or jumping selection. The time period was also locked after July. After half an hour, he finally found what you want.

"Damn, I said that the domestic side will not borrow the fragrance film two years in advance for no reason. It turns out that it is really the same as I guessed!"

What Wang Xiaohu held in his hand was the newspaper dated July 1972, 7. On an inconspicuous section of the newspaper, he was extremely excited.

The general meaning of the content is that Xiangjiang has two very good films in the past six months, namely "Fist of Fury" and "Ip Man". Both films promote national integrity and inspire the patriotic sentiment of the Chinese people. The content is healthy and positive. , a rare classic since the opening of the Hong Kong film industry.

It's just such a seemingly normal short comment, it won't feel good in the eyes of others, but Wang Xiaohu couldn't close his mouth after reading it for a long time. "Okay, okay! It is estimated that after reading this short review, the idea of ​​watching the film will arise."

Yes, what I want to watch with these two films is not Guangzhou City at all, but the farther north of Guangzhou City - the heart of the country. If I talk about it in detail, it is the big man.

This is the memory that Wang Xiaohu dug up in the back of his mind after hearing Run Run Shaw's words.

This is not a secret, probably around 08 at the premiere celebration of "Legend of Bruce Lee", the Vice Minister of Culture in the 70s told a little-known story about Bruce Lee: the big man once praised Bruce Lee: "Kung Fu Good, good fight!" And watched "Fist of Fury" three times, this is the big person that the vice minister has come into contact with has never tried a movie three times, and said to the vice minister himself: "Bruce Lee is a hero." I even cried when I watched it for the first time.

And it was Run Run Shaw who made the relationship with the country slowly warming up at this time, and he visited several places in the country. At that time, everything was done in secret and it was not reported in the newspapers, because the vice minister personally in the name of the Ministry of Culture Reported to the mainland to ask for instructions to invite Run Run Shaw to return to the mainland. The central government also quickly approved it because the big man had watched several Bruce Lee movies. It was in the spring of 1976.

Wang Xiaohu still clearly remembers what the vice minister said in an interview: "Bruce Lee's film became the first step for Run Run Shaw to understand the country and enter the mainland." In China, there was "Shaolin Temple", which was later empty-handed by thousands of people.
"Hehe, fortunately, I know this secret. Poor Sixth Uncle Shao thought there was some kind of trap here, and he was so frightened. Tsk tsk, no, I have to find a way to let the great man know that I am Wang Xiaohu. I can't let this day Sixth Uncle Shao has the big good thing for himself!" After thinking about it, the corners of Wang Xiaohu's mouth curled up, he was so excited and excited that he had won two big happy things today, and he even wanted to yell for a few minutes to vent his anger.
