new kung fu king

Chapter 289
Although the outside world condemned Wang Xiaohu one after another, the interior of Xiehe Company was quiet and peaceful. After all, there were only about 20 employees in the entire company, and most of them were members of the Seven Little Fortunes.

Now they are all busy, Yuan Heping, Jackie Chan, Yuan Xiaotian and other original cast members of "The Snake Shaped Hand" took the script of "Drunken Master" written by Wang Xiaohu to the Shaw Brothers studio to shoot.Before leaving, Wang Xiaohu patted Jackie Chan on the shoulder and said: "Don't deny your style because of temporary gains and losses. It is enough to believe that you are right. If you stick to it, you will become popular sooner or later."

Although Jackie Chan couldn't understand the meaning of Wang Xiaohu's words now, he still believed in Wang Xiaohu's vision and decision, nodded vigorously and followed Yuan Heping and set off.

The same appeasement work also appeared on Sammo Hung, Yuen Biao and others. Among the Seven Little Fortunes, Yuen Biao stood by Wang Xiaohu's side unconditionally. The post-production work of "The Prodigal Boy" is coming to an end. Wang Xiaohu watched the sample Afterwards, he raised several detailed questions for Sammo Hung to revise.Yuan Biao asked softly, "Ah Hu, when will this movie be released?"

Wang Xiaohu smiled mysteriously and said, "Don't worry, just wait."

"Wait a little longer" Wang Xiaohu said this sentence no less than dozens of times. Every time he was asked by others, he always answered like this. Wait" is to wait until when.

After returning home, Wang Xiaohu went to the small study on the second floor. Zhao Yazhi had already cleaned it up and served him tea. Seeing him coming in, he smiled and said, "Ah Hu, I'm ready." , when do we start work?"

"Now." After Wang Xiaohu finished speaking, he bowed his head and kissed her, and said in admiration, "It smells so good!"

Zhao Yazhi giggled, picked up a pen and said: "Stop making trouble, hurry up and do serious business, there are too many gossips outside, even my brother called me to scold you."

"What they like to say is their freedom, and it's OK for us to do our own thing." Wang Xiaohu sighed, shook his head and started to do the serious things the young couple said.

The so-called serious things are actually very simple, that is, Wang Xiaohu dictates and Zhao Yazhi takes notes. Who makes her handwriting look better than Wang Xiaohu's?

What Wang Xiaohu dictated was the script of "Fist of Fury". It is said that this film is a classic masterpiece of ATV. It was filmed by Hong Kong and Taiwan stars such as Donnie Yen, Wan Qiwen, and Kaohsiung. The target is Li's (the predecessor of ATV) old rival TVB, it's really interesting to say.

"Fist of Fury" is ATV's annual masterpiece, and it is also the classic masterpiece that Donnie Yen was recognized by mainland audiences for the first time. In the prologue at the beginning of the film, Donnie Yen strongly demanded: to pay tribute to the great master Mr. There is no law, and the infinite is the limit" clearly told the audience.But Donnie Yen is the biggest dragon fan in the world, and also the most successful and influential dragon fan. He is more direct and straightforward than Zhou Xingchi in promoting Bruce Lee's Jeet Kune Do.

At the very least, Donnie Yen's own martial arts cultivation is the highest among all the dragon fans, and his interpretation of Jeet Kune Do is also the sharpest in Wang Xiaohu's memory.And his origin is very similar to his idol Li Xianglong: American education background, Chinese martial arts roots, Western rebellious spirit, even before Wang Xiaohu's rebirth, Donnie Yen's performance and fighting style in movies are also in line with Bruce Lee.

This is also one of the reasons why Wang Xiaohu copied and plagiarized Donnie Yen's works after careful consideration after his rebirth.Judging from the current situation, everything Wang Xiaohu did was correct. Donnie Yen's style evolved from Bruce Lee, but in terms of martial arts movements, he is more open and close, which makes people want to stop.

The TV version of "Fist of Fury" has many advantages over the movie version. First of all, it is long. The content of 30 episodes successfully portrays the characters of Chen Zhen, Huo Yuanjia, Cai Liujin, Takeda Yumi, Liang Xia, and Qiqiao. Lifelike, even the villains Cai Xuefu and Takeda Shingen are very plump, the leading actors are all righteous, and the villains are hateful.

Wang Xiaohu likes this TV series very much. In the past, he prevented Bruce Lee from entering the TV industry because he was afraid that Bruce Lee would delay the shooting of other films because of TV. Run Run Shaw sent him to the door to play acquisitions, and he took this opportunity to find a reason to enter the TV industry.

In the past, he would definitely buy Li's TV station with money without saying a word, and buy it directly to fight for Run Run Shaw's TVB, but now he doesn't like to do this. On the one hand, he and Run Run Shaw have a very good relationship. The cooperation between them is also very harmonious. Moreover, although Lidi started earlier in the TV industry, it is far behind TVB in terms of scale. At least TVB has now realized the importance of training local movie stars. Wireless training The class is also entering the fourth phase of recruitment.

"Chen Zhen brought his younger sister Xiaoyan to the Japanese-occupied Shanghai. He worked in many jobs, and at the same time, he had constant conflicts with Cai Xuefu, the son of Cai Liujin, the boss of the largest gangster in the local youth gang, and formed indissoluble grievances. In Shanghai, Chen Zhen noticed that the local martial arts world was fragmented, with separate sects, like a mess. At the same time, his sister made friends with a Japanese nurse named Yumi Takeda, the head of the Japanese Concession Yukio Takeda the only daughter of

This is the beginning of "Fist of Fury", Wang Xiaohu said, and Zhao Yazhi quickly recorded, looking at Zhao Yazhi's quick writing, Wang Xiaohu smiled silently, thinking that his wife would also film "Shanghai Beach", "Legend of Chu Liuxiang", Classic works such as "Avalokitesvara" and "Legend of the New White Lady" have laid a good foundation for her now.

"Ahu, who do you plan to play Chen Zhen?" After half an hour, Zhao Yazhi put down her pen and raised her head to ask, Wang Xiaohu went up to massage her shoulders, and said with a smile, "Of course it's your husband, I will play."

For this answer, Zhao Yazhi didn't have the slightest opinion, she just looked at her husband's gray hair worriedly and said, "But your hair."

"It doesn't matter, just wear a wig when the time comes. Chen Zhen has long hair." Wang Xiaohu laughed at himself: "If I change my hairstyle rashly, someone will jump out and criticize me again."

"Hehe." Seeing that her husband was not sad, Zhao Yazhi showed a sweet smile and said, "Who will play the role of Yumei?"

"Of course it's my wife. We are a husband and wife team of film critics, and we have collaborated on two films! This TV series is taken by us as a matter of course."

"I'm afraid Sixth Uncle Shao won't agree then."

"Don't worry about him, I've already discussed this with him, if he doesn't agree, how can I make him happy."

"You're the only one with a lot of ideas!" Zhao Yazhi smiled and continued to write.

"According to the Hong Kong Supreme Court, they recently received an indictment. The plaintiff is Zou Wenhuai, the person in charge of Hong Kong Golden Harvest Film and Television Company. No one can adapt or remake the released films in any way. Concorde Film Company and Shaw Brothers TVB’s move has constituted an infringement. Golden Harvest is very angry about this. Zou Wenhuai said that they will use legal means Stop this despicable behavior from happening."

""Fist of Fury" is suspected of copyright infringement, and Zou Wenhuai wants to sue Wang Xiaohu."

"Misfortunes never come singly at Xiehe Company. It was just acquired by Shaw Brothers and sued for copyright infringement."

"The latest news is that the Supreme Court has issued a lawyer's letter to Wang Xiaohu, and Golden Harvest Zou Wenhuai also hired a well-known Hong Kong barrister to denounce Wang Xiaohu's infringement. The lawyer's letter said: "Jing Fu Men" not only opened up a new wave of enduring Chinese martial arts movies , is also the first blockbuster film in Hong Kong with a box office of more than 500 million. Bruce Lee is a Hollywood superstar invited by Golden Harvest. Without the consent of Golden Harvest, Wang Xiaohu cooperated with TVB to prepare for the filming of the TV series "Fist of Fury". This action has violated the interests of Golden Harvest, and you are ordered to immediately stop cooperating with Shaw Brothers and compensate Golden Harvest for economic losses of 300 million Hong Kong dollars."

In the last ten days of May, major newspapers in Hong Kong reported such a news comprehensively. The Hong Kong citizens who had complained about Wang Xiaohu were once again angered. Discussing Golden Harvest's lawsuit against Wang Xiaohu, most Hong Kong citizens expressed sympathy and support for Golden Harvest. Only a few people thought that the more fierce the quarrel, the more interesting it was. The "Watergate Incident" came wonderfully, nervously, and enjoyable!
When Wang Xiaohu received the lawyer's letter, he was taken aback for a moment, and then he couldn't laugh or cry. He called Run Run Shaw while looking at the lawyer's letter: "Uncle Six, Jiahe has already attacked the door, and the lawyer's letter has been sent to you." It's on my desk."

"You kid is not afraid of anything, but you can't deal with a lawyer's letter?"

Wang Xiaohu said aggrievedly: "That's not the case, although I have prepared here, but I still need a sharp machine gun, no, borrow it from your barrister friend Benaki, and I will have a good time with Jiahe .”

"Okay, you guys have to work hard, don't let it go like I did when I sued back then." Run Run Shao encouraged. Speaking of which, the situation is somewhat similar to that back then. At the time of Shaw Brothers, it had already been planned in secret. Not only did the new company get the support from Thailand and Taiwan, but the film distribution could also be distributed overseas through Shaw Brothers' old rival, Cathay Pacific.

In addition, Zou Wenhuai also secretly reached an agreement with the Japanese film studio, planning to jointly shoot "The One-Armed Swordsman vs. the Blind Man", hoping to use this as Golden Harvest's first shot in the film industry. ——In order to make this commercially gimmick "Sino-Japanese War", Zou Wenhuai pried away Shaw's leading actor Wang Yu who starred in "The One-Armed Swordsman", and avoided the injunction order, and made "The One-armed Swordsman" "Blind Man" is scheduled to be filmed in Taiwan.

Rao Zou Wenhuai thought he was doing it secretly, but Run Run Shaw found out about the incident not long after, which immediately caused a sensational dispute in the film industry. In 1969, Wang Yu performed "The One-Armed Swordsman" again, which was also popular at the box office.Later, Zou Wenhuai encouraged Wang Yu to rebel against Shaw Brothers, and blatantly used the theme of "The One-Armed Swordsman" to make a cross-border film. How could it not make Liu Shu furious and furious?Therefore, when "The Blind Man vs. the One-Armed Sword" was released, Run Run Shaw personally pointed out that Golden Harvest had violated the copyright; strive."This copyright dispute eventually even went to court, and the two even went to court in person, turned their faces on the spot, and spent millions of legal fees for this.
This is the infringement incident that year. Unexpectedly, 3 years later, Wang Xiaohu will be sued by Golden Harvest. How can you not make Run Run Shaw feel interesting?

"Retribution, retribution!" Run Run Shaw hung up the phone and laughed in the office, "Wang Xiaohu really suits my appetite. Last year, he encouraged Bruce Lee to jump out of Golden Harvest, and now he vomited blood in Zou Wen's anger. Be good, this boy He is really my lucky general, interesting, very interesting!"

After Run Run Shaw finished laughing, he immediately called Benaqi on an emergency call. Hearing this, Benaqi immediately regained his spirits. You must know that he was the one who handled the lawsuit against Jiahe for copyright infringement. Now that he heard that Jiahe was going to bully Wang Xiaohu, The barrister patted his chest without saying a word and said: "Shao, don't worry, you tell Wang Xiaohu that even if you don't want a penny of the lawyer's fee, I will fight with Jiahe. If I don't beat Jiahe in court, it won't be enough to save my life. evil spirit!"

"Okay!" Run Run Shaw nodded and shouted, Xiaobei was very good at Lao Shao, and Lao Shao felt that he was also very good, so he quickly called Wang Xiaohu and told him about it.

Wang Xiaohu was very satisfied after hearing this, and patted Run Run Shaw's flattery and said, "Uncle Liu has a wide network of contacts. I, a little tiger who just came down from the mountain, really can't do anything about Jiahe. Uncle Liu, this time the lion asked for it." The loss fee of 300 million yuan is much bigger than the 3 yuan you asked for back then!"

"Hmph, that rebellious boy!" Run Run Shaw became angry after thinking about it, "You prepare all kinds of materials, and I'll go to get old relationships right now, we will definitely not lose this lawsuit!"

"Okay, I'm relieved to have Uncle Liu come out." Wang Xiaohu said with a smile, "I see this, let's put it aside for a while, and finish the audition for the actors of "Fist of Fury" before it's too late. Taking advantage of the fact that this lawsuit happens to be free of publicity, how much publicity fee is left over?"

"You boy, you have so many tricks!" Run Run Shaw scolded with a smile.
