Chapter 307 The Revelation of Luo Wei Leaving Golden Harvest (Shocked to Death)
How much is a tenth of the box office dividend?

Take this "Prodigal Boy" as an example. At present, the box office in Hong Kong alone has reached more than 600 million. After excluding the dividends from Shaw Brothers and its theaters, there is still a profit of more than 400 million, one-tenth of which is 40. , and then according to the contributions made by the main crew members, each person can get at least [-] to [-] Hong Kong dollars.

Sammo Hung's throat moved, and Yuan Heping plucked his ears vigorously. The dividend that Wang Xiaohu said was too tempting to them, and he kept asking in his heart: Is it true, is it true!
In all fairness, Wang Xiaohu treated them well. If Wang Xiaohu hadn't been promoting and helping them, the current Seven Little Fortunes would still be out of order. If Wang Xiaohu hadn't given them the opportunity to direct and lead roles alone, they would have to stay in this circle for at least seven years. Only when he has enough time can he climb to the position of assistant director and martial arts instructor.

Now they are directing microphones, leading actors and leading actors, and their monthly salary is around [-] Hong Kong dollars. This salary alone is very famous in the film industry, not to mention the large amount of money they get during the holidays. The red envelope is here, which is why many people think of Xiehe squeeze!
When they first heard the two keywords, Hong and Yuan became short of breath. They always felt that everything was like a dream, so beautiful, so unrealistic, and Wang Xiaohu's expression was not like a joke.

There was silence in the office. After a long time, Sammo Hung coughed lightly, rubbed his hands together and said, "Ah Hu, you. Are you afraid that the brothers will quit after they succeed?"

This is the question that Sammo Hung and Yuan Heping thought of together at the moment. Wang Xiaohu said with a faint smile: "Actually, I haven't thought about this question. If you want to change jobs, the last time Golden Harvest paid such a high price to poach you, you have already passed away." .”

"Well, Ah Hu, although I'm not a regular member of Seven Little Fortunes, the three of us, father and son, are still determined to follow you." Seeing this, Yuan Heping immediately expressed his loyalty.

"Brother Ping, you are overthinking." Wang Xiaohu shook his head and smiled wryly: "Xiehe Company must expand its scale. Now we only have two directors in our company, and it is limited to the scope of Kung Fu movies. If we want to gain a foothold in Xiangjiang in the future, we must If we want to continue to expand in other themes, we must at least be like Uncle Liu, with more than a dozen great directors under his command, so that a hundred flowers will not be restrained."

After Wang Xiaohu's explanation, Yuan and Hong suddenly realized that they didn't expect Wang Xiaohu to see such a long-term view. As far as they were concerned, it didn't matter as long as there was a film to be made. As for the future direction of the company's development, they did not sit in Wang Xiaohu's seat. , not to think so much.To put it bluntly, most Hong Kong filmmakers now have the idea of ​​becoming a monk for a day, otherwise they would not immediately shoot follow-up works after a certain movie became popular, and ruin every good theme.
"I will give you a general development direction. In the future, you only need to bring the script to me for review. If there is no problem, I will invest in the filming. Of course, you can also invest money. After you have rich experience, you can do Xiehe Satellite company development." Wang Xiaohu said eloquently, Yuan and Hong were deeply encouraged by such a proposal, if the dividends just now moved their hearts, the joint-stock filming now stimulated their nerves even more.

"Ah Hu, is what you said true?" Sammo Hung asked excitedly with wide-eyed eyes. Yuan Heping also twisted his buttocks and moved around on the sofa. Although he opened his mouth without saying anything, his heart was full of excitement and gratitude Jump on the face.

"Of course it's true, but that's all for the future. Your first priority right now is to get enough training, and try to figure out the role of director as soon as possible, so that you can share my pressure in the future."

"That's natural, Ah Hu, you are willing to delegate power and let us toss, if we can't produce some results, shouldn't we jump off the building!" Sammo Hung said with a laugh.

Comedy and kung fu movies are blowing up in Hong Kong, and the intake of this plan has inspired the entire Hong Kong film industry, and everyone suddenly realized that Wang Xiaohu was not exhausted before, but was exploring new paths and trying new styles. , launched Jackie Chan and Yuen Biao to fill the vacancy left by Bruce Lee's early death as soon as possible.

Hong Kong filmmakers, while regretting their belatedness, are also scrambling to take action, striving to shoot the same type of film in the shortest possible time, no matter how they want to get a share.As a result, the underground screenwriting world became lively again, and many small film production companies began to acquire scripts similar to "The Snake" and "The Prodigal Boy".

Of course, other people's imitation does not mean that Golden Harvest will imitate. Now Zou Wenhuai puts all his worth on "Game of Death". I heard that he took Yuan Xihua to Los Angeles a few days ago to discuss with Warner how to make a good turnaround. Woolen cloth.

Shaw Brothers also did not follow suit. After "72 Tenants" achieved a box office of 650 million, Run Run Shaw used Zhang Cheh to shoot "The Great Swordsman", "Fang Shiyu and Hong Xiguan" and "The Thorn Horse". Li Hanxiang continued to shoot with a large crowd. It's a humorous comedy. I heard that this filming is "Affair". In short, Shaw Brothers still maintains its own style and high production, and there is no suspicion of following the trend.

The big director Luo Wei who ran away from Golden Harvest quickly established Siwei Films, relying on his appeal as a "million-dollar director" to poach Wang Yu before he quit, and wanted to compete with Golden Harvest. It is said that Luo Wei left this time angrily Not only because of the accusation by Zou Wenhuai, but also an unknown secret: the relationship between his second wife Liu Lianghua (the woman who successfully persuaded Bruce Lee to join Golden Harvest) and Zou Wenhuai was unclear. Taking this opportunity to leave Golden Harvest to preserve his marriage, he didn't know that his wife divorced him as soon as he left. Now his wife has followed Zou Wenhuai to Los Angeles.Let Luo Wei get angry and vow to give Zou Wenhuai a good look.

Wang Xiaohu rubbed his nose in embarrassment when he heard it. He didn't expect that there was such gossip in Jiahe that was even more Qiongyao than Qiongyao drama. The gratifying thing, after thinking about it for a long time, Wang Xiaohu called Li Shaonan in, "Shaonan, I'll give you an idea to write it out in the next few days, and try to sell the script to Luo Wei. Remember, the price should not be too high." High, 5 yuan will do.”

"5 yuan is not enough?" Li Shaonan swallowed. A while ago, he and Mai Jia made a small fortune, but now the four of them have tasted the sweetness of doing private work. Hearing that Master is taking pictures of private work for himself, naturally It's a smile.

"The title of the film is "Shaolin Wooden Man Lane". It tells about the little mute, a Shaolin lay disciple, who has a pure nature and is deeply loved by the host. The little mute even takes care of the old monster who is locked in the back mountain. The old monster dictates martial arts and the little one out of gratitude Mute, in fact, his true intention is to send a message through the little mute, to summon the two gangs of Qinglong and Baihu to come back out of the arena. The little mute played Shaolin Wooden Man Lane, and later found that the old monster was his father-killing enemy. The little mute doesn't know how to choose."

Wang Xiaohu roughly told the story aside, in his previous life, "Shaolin Wooden Man Alley" itself was the second film that Luo Wei's company strongly promoted Jackie Chan. The box office failure of "New Fist of Fury" made Luo Wei's strong insistence on his own style loose, and he planned to make some new attempts in various aspects, so there was "Shaolin Wooden Man Alley" with a greatly changed style. Although the quality of the film was not good, it still left a deep impression on Wang Xiaohu. Throwing out this notebook can be regarded as a relief to the "old boss".

After arranging this matter, Wang Xiaohu continued to be busy filming the "Fist of Fury" TV series. The filming plan for the past few days is a bit tight, mainly to accommodate the actors from the Shaw Brothers. I also have to be busy as a martial arts instructor for "The Thorn Horse".The shooting progress was very slow, which made Wang Xiaohu very annoyed, so he went directly to TVB Building to find Run Run Shaw for comment.

"Uncle Six, if you go on like this, this TV series can't be filmed!"

Run Run Shaw waved his hands and said with a smile: "Young people, don't be so angry. After all, the few you named are Zhang Che's favorite generals, and they have to take care of Zhang Che due to emotion and reason."

"According to this speed, it may take more than three years to complete the filming. Anyway, I can delay it. In the worst case, I will continue to make movies, or go to Hollywood to mobilize. I'm afraid that Uncle Six will not be able to delay it in the end!" Wang Xiaohu played a rascal, Rolling his eyes, he said sarcastic words: "Sixth Uncle, think about it, now our cooperation has been rumored crazy by the outside world, if we don't come up with our work immediately, what will outsiders say about us!"

"Ah?" Run Run Shaw scratched his head, he didn't expect Wang Xiaohu to use this kind of rhetoric, he hesitated for a moment before he said: "That's not right, you kid is only focusing on your own development, when will you send Uncle Liu a notebook, and, Have the four Xu Guanwen brothers been hidden by you! You must have prepared a script for them, right? Hand it over!"

"Uncle Six, I prepared this script specially for their four brothers. Besides, you don't advocate the joint-stock producer system. Even if I hand over the script to you, you won't be able to find a suitable candidate." Wang Xiaohu was not polite. Said.

This made Run Run Shaw speechless, he didn't believe in anything else, but he really believed in Wang Xiaohu's eyes, the eyes are too poisonous, whoever says that the script made to order will definitely be popular, it's so evil that it makes people jealous. "You have to give me a blockbuster book!"

"After I give you the book, will you call the actor back?" Wang Xiaohu asked with his head sideways.

"Yes, but it depends on the quality of your script!"
