Chapter 283 Warehouse Theft
After Wang Xiaohu returned to Hong Kong, he was in a good mood. In just 20 days, he swept away 3500 million US dollars in Hollywood. In addition to the 500 million that he threw to George Lucas to form "Industrial Light and Magic", he still had 3000 million on hand. This money is enough for him to realize many plans in Hong Kong.

Moreover, less than half a day after Wang Xiaohu returned to Hong Kong, he received a call from Warner President Ted Eisley. Ted Eisley was very enthusiastic during the call: "Tiger, I thought you would stay in Los Angeles. Even longer, unexpectedly, when I leave to visit you, you have already returned to Hong Kong."

What you said is a bit insincere, what do you mean I left when you were about to leave for a visit, you are obviously insincere, no, it's not that you are insincere, it's that you have no face to look for me!Wang Xiaohu thought angrily, he still remembered Warner's classic trick of crossing the river and demolishing bridges. Since then, he has not had much affection for Warner Bros. Fortunately, Winterdur and those twelve "disciples" still treat him well. Yes, I helped myself in the most difficult time.

Now that Ted Eisley is calling himself, instead of just finding someone to negotiate with him like in the past, he must have some ideas. In fact, if Ted Eisley hadn’t called, he might not have Answering in a mood, how can we say that we are also the holders of the Silver Flying Eagle Medal of the Directors' Union? To put it bluntly, although our Concorde is now small in scale, our family is still on an equal footing with your Warner President.

"Ah, I'm really flattered that Mr. Ted Eisley can call in person. I don't know if you have anything to do?" Wang Xiaohu said on the phone with a smile on his face.

"It's like this, Mr. Tiger, I think we had a little misunderstanding before. Since we are all friends of Bruce, can we find a time to sit down and talk?" How could Ted Eisley fail to hear Wang Xiaohu's words? The sarcasm in the book, hurriedly reminiscing about the past, in his impression almost most oriental people are nostalgic.

Unexpectedly, Wang Xiaohu showed a lack of interest, and rejected him with a bad reason of "I'm very busy": "Oh sorry, you know I'm very busy in Hong Kong, and I have two films in the final stage. Maybe I don’t have time to talk to you, so let’s make it clear on the phone if we have anything to say.”

"Damn it! You think you're Bruce Lee!" Ted Eisley turned livid over the phone angrily, but he couldn't help it. Now everyone in Hollywood knows that Wang Xiaohu won the Silver Flying Eagle Medal from the Directors' Union, and That is to say, with only one piece of "Rocky", he has become a low-level Hollywood director. This means that Wang Xiaohu is very popular now, and a large number of producers will try to win him over.

Ted Eisley didn't want this cash cow to get too close to 20th Century Fox, so he came to Wang Xiaohu with a low profile, but he was not soft or hard. Ted Eisley felt very complicated , this is the first director to reject him, and he is also an oriental!

"Okay, let's talk on the phone." It took a long time for Ted Eisley to calm down his anger, and said straight to the point: "When Bruce was still alive, I heard him say that you and Concord made a very classic movie. Kung Fu movie, he said that this is the work he is most satisfied with, so, so I want to act as an agent for the right to broadcast this film in Hollywood, of course, the box office share is still in accordance with our old rules before, I don’t know how you feel? "

Wang Xiaohu laughed immediately when he heard this, and Ted Eisley finally revealed the fox's tail after a long time of rambling.

how do you feel?If Ted Eisley was in front of Wang Xiaohu, he couldn't help pointing at Ted Eisley's nose and jumping up and yelling: "I feel very upset, I'm divided into your sister, everyone will see God!"

But Wang Xiaohu's self-cultivation skills have been greatly improved now. He first pretended to be silent for a while, and then smeared with ink for a long time, which made Ted Eisley on the other side of the ocean very anxious. When De Eisley was about to be unable to bear the silence and chose to go berserk, the guy said unhurriedly: "Mr. Ted Eisley, I feel it."

"Do you feel that there is a problem with the box office share? It doesn't matter. We can discuss it again. We, Warner Bros. will definitely use the most elite publicity team to operate Bruce's posthumous work!" Ted Eisley also pretended that Wang Xiaohu was not satisfied with the box office share .

"No no, you may have misunderstood." Wang Xiaohu immediately said: "I feel this is very bad!"

"why?"

"After all, it's better to ask for others these days than to ask for yourself. I think I was struggling with a sample of "Rocky" in my arms." Wang Xiaohu said every sentence, and at the end he said very seriously: "Because I want to Release this film yourself, and don't want to borrow other people's hands!"

"Fuck!" Ted Eisley realized that he had been tricked after hearing it, and angrily smashed the microphone on the table. Go up, mouth: "Go to hell! Who do you think you are, you are just an oriental kid who has just established a foothold in Hollywood, and you are so naive that you want to release it alone. Who will cooperate with you if you are in a movie theater?"

Listening to the beeping busy tone on the phone, Wang Xiaohu knew that Ted Eisley over there must be very angry. This was exactly what he wanted to see, so he whistled to Winterdur in Los Angeles. I made a phone call and asked about Lao Wen's purchase of theaters.

Winterdur has already admired this young boss very much. Not to mention anything else, just one "Rocky" swept the North American box office, which is enough to show that his decision was very wise at the time, and Wang Xiaohu was indeed as he thought. It is a potential stock, a dark horse in the East!He has now become the head of the Hollywood branch of Concorde Films, and he has personally completed things such as the acquisition of theaters.

Winterdur showed unprecedented enthusiasm for this, haunting those small and medium-sized theaters that were on the verge of bankruptcy and struggling to sell, and went home late at night every day, and he worked extraordinarily hard. "The boss tells you a piece of good news. Our Xiehe company now has 5 medium-sized theaters and 13 small theaters, but most of them are places where literary and pornographic movies are concentrated. I need to spend a lot of time and money to renovate. "

"OK, how much money do you need to come to me directly! I will transfer it to you soon." Although Winterdur performed very hard, Wang Xiaohu did not throw him millions like trusting Lucas, after all Some money can be big, and some money must be controlled.

"I will then send you the photocopied purchase contract and the contact information of the person in charge of the theater." Winterdur said very responsibly.

The acquisition contract was justified by a lawyer, and the person in charge of the theater had to ask Wang Xiaohu to review it again. Wang Xiaohu appreciated Winterdur's seriousness and responsibility: "Old Wen, it doesn't matter if you work hard, but you must pay attention to your health. , I don’t want you to go on strike as tired as last time, and the development of our Concorde will be seriously hindered.”

"Thank you boss for your concern."

Before closing the line, Wang Xiaohu thought of another thing, "By the way, did Xie Dongshen and Li Qingsheng report to Lucas?" When he returned to Hong Kong, he specifically asked Xie Dongshen to contact Lucas as soon as possible. After all, a talent like Xie Dongshen who enjoys creating and inventing is really rare, so he was asked to spend money at the Los Angeles branch, instead of directly sending it to Lucas for work. Now "Industrial Light and Magic" is in the initial stage of development. It would definitely be beneficial to let Lao Xie master and apprentice learn something new.

"Yes, they have already made contact," Winterdur said in a very positive tone. This matter was fully completed by his hands, and he certainly knew how far the matter had been handled.

"Very good, I will send a few more staff there in a few days, and I will trouble you then." Since I am the founder of "Industrial Light and Magic", it is very necessary to train a few backbones for my company, In Hong Kong, he took a fancy to Wang Jiaxin, a veteran. Who made Lao Wang work hard for the company in obscurity and diligence for more than a year.

Wang Jiaxin's talents in set design, innovative props, blasting, machinery, etc. are deeply appreciated by Wang Xiaohu. However, Lao Wang's current development ideas are somewhat limited. After all, it is not an option to live in a small place like Hong Kong. The idea of ​​going to "Industrial Light and Magic" for exercise.

As for who will take over the job in Hong Kong after Wang Jiaxin leaves, Zhang Yuan is undoubtedly the best candidate.These things were all carefully considered by Wang Xiaohu before returning to Hong Kong.

Wang Xiaohu was thinking about how to persuade Lao Wang to "study abroad" in Hollywood when he heard a knock on the office door. "Come in. Huh? Why is it you, Lao Wang? I was looking for you."

"Ah? Brother Hu, are you looking for me?" Wang Jiaxin's face changed, and his heart was broken. Brother Hu knew about it, and immediately lowered his head a little uneasy, not daring to look at Wang Xiaohu.

Wang Xiaohu said with a smile: "Old Wang, have you been with us for more than a year?"

"Yes!" Wang Jiaxin stammered, already praying to all the gods in the world.

Wang Xiaohu couldn't see his expression, so he continued to smile and said, "Have you considered changing your working environment?"

Wang Jiaxin thumped, the muscles on his old face trembled rapidly, when he raised his head his eyes were already covered with mist, and he said in a choked voice: "Brother Hu, I, this time I really failed my duty, please don't Can you fire me? I have an 80-year-old mother and a child who is waiting to be fed. I can't lose this job!"

"Uh!" Wang Xiaohu grinned and didn't react for a while, he waved his hand and said, "I said, old Wang, don't cry, I didn't say copy you squid, you take your time, what happened. "

Wang Jiaxin didn't listen to it, and told the whole story with snot and tears. It turned out that most of the edited and discarded films of Xiehe Company had no place to store them temporarily. Wang Jiaxin, as the chief "warehouse keeper" of the base, made up his own It is advocated to gather these precious discarded films in a room in the base. An old friend happened to come over yesterday, and he drank dizzily when he was happy. When he checked the warehouse routinely this morning, he found that the door lock of that room had been picked. Open, all the discarded films stored inside flew away!

Wang Jiaxin knows that Wang Xiaohu regards this batch of discarded films as treasures, because on those films there are many scenes about Bruce Lee's NG filming, and there are more shooting tidbits, which are priceless things in the market. When such a big event happened, he Knowing that he couldn't hide it, after learning that Wang Xiaohu had returned to Hong Kong, he weighed it over and over again and directly asked Jing to plead guilty.

The office suddenly fell into silence, and Wang Xiaohu's face changed accordingly. Disappointment, sadness, and even anger couldn't explain his mood at this time. After a long time, he said quietly: "It's all gone?"

"En." Wang Jiaxin nodded and answered in a low voice, then lowered her head to her chest, closed her eyes and waited for Wang Xiaohu's roar.

"It's all gone!" Wang Xiaohu sighed heavily: "Hey! If it's gone, it's gone."

Wang Jiaxin could hardly believe her ears, what?Brother Hu is not angry?Did you say it was gone?What does this mean, does it mean that his job can be kept? Thinking of this, Wang Jiaxin's desperate heart immediately ignited a small flame, raised his foggy eyes and said: "Brother Hu, you."

"Hey, people are gone, so what's the use of leaving these things?" Wang Xiaohu shook his head, yes, Brother Xiaolong has already left, and even his "Qihe Xiaozhu" dared not take half a step. Although Linda had given herself the key before leaving, she was afraid of seeing things and thinking about others, not to mention those discarded films?

After regaining his composure, Wang Xiaohu said, "Old Wang, you don't have to be busy with other things these few days, and explain the company's affairs to Zhang Yuan."

"Brother Hu, you still want to fire me!"

"Fuck your sister!" Wang Xiaohu suddenly swears, pointing at Wang Jiaxin's nose and saying, "I'm ordering you to drag your family to Los Angeles to find a guy named Winterdur. 'Industrial Light and Magic' can't make a name for itself, so let's settle the old and new scores together!"

"Well, Brother Hu, don't be angry, I know, I will work hard, I will not disappoint Brother Hu's trust in me, I will definitely make a name for myself in that magical place!" Wang Jiaxin hurriedly promised He said, as if he was afraid that Wang Xiaohu would change his mind the next moment.

"Do you know who stole it?"

Wang Jiaxin nodded and shook his head again, that look almost made Wang Xiaohu angry again, and said patiently: "Old Wang, what kind of expression do you have, do you know it or not?"

"I know something, but there is no evidence!" Wang Jiaxin said: "Preliminary suspicion."
