new kung fu king

Chapter 333 Be Low-key

As Run Run Shaw said, no matter whether it was Li Ka-shing or Pao Yukang and other Hong Kong tycoons, in October 73, when the stock market crashed severely, no one was willing to spend money to invest in the film industry. The means made Li Ka-shing and others frown even more.They politely rejected Zou Wenhuai with various reasons and encouraged him to persevere.

"Persevere, persevere, if you don't have the funds to invest, I'll persevere!" After coming out of Bao Yugang's villa, Zou Wenhuai punched his car in frustration, which made He Guanchang, who came out later, frown again: " Wen Huai, don't be discouraged, we are looking for Zhao's shipping industry to try."

"God wants to cut my way out of Jiahe!" Zou Wenhuai let out a wail, turning his anger into anger. Things have to be done, and there are still two days before the trial, so he must hurry up and continue to ask for investment.

Mr. Zhao from the Four Great Ship Kings received Zou Wenhuai. He heard that he was here to invest. Mr. Zhao said with a smile, "Boss Zou, it is really tempting to make huge profits from movies, but if our Zhao family wants to invest, it will definitely not be yours." Golden Harvest Company, I am personally optimistic about Wang Xiaohu's Xiehe, because after Bruce Lee, he made Jackie Chan and Yuen Biao popular again, and since you are here to attract investment, you must give me a good script, or provide me with Jackie Chan's box office. Charismatic star, right? I don’t want to lose all the money I invested in!”

It's better not to say this, and Zou Wen rolled his eyes in anger, and almost fainted, He Guanchang hurriedly pulled him away when he saw this.In the office of the president of Golden Harvest, Zou Wenhuai closed his eyes tightly, and He Guanchang was frowning. Today's one after another bumped into walls, let them finally know how bad Golden Harvest's reputation is now.

In fact, although Mr. Zhao's words are a bit harsh, they are reasonable. With Jiahe's current appearance, he really does not have the slightest competitiveness in the industry. Without an excellent screenwriter, he cannot create a good script, without a finale director, and there is no red. The star of the show sits here, Golden Harvest, what do you use for others to invest?
"Damn it, Wang Xiaohu, Jackie Chan, Yuen Biao!" Zou Wenhuai gritted his teeth and said, "When I have money, the first thing I will do is to recruit Jackie Chan to let Wang Xiaohu taste the taste of betrayal!"

"Wen Huai, you'd better stop thinking about it, now we should think about how to get money, otherwise we won't be able to pass this test, and all of that will be in vain." He Guanchang thought that Zou Wen was talking nonsense in anger, and said a little worried at the moment.

"Guanchang, if you don't let me think about it, I'm really worried that I won't be able to bear it and jump off a building!"

"Hey!" He Guanchang sighed, and thought to himself that Zou Wenhuai had thought of jumping off the building a long time ago, so it's better not to provoke him. If he jumped off the building, this mess of Golden Harvest would definitely find him. Then the second jumper Maybe it's me.Anyway, as long as he doesn't jump off the building, he can do whatever he wants.

While the two bosses of Golden Harvest were worrying in the office, Du Huidong, who was a temporary guest secretary, knocked on the door and came in: "Mr. Zou, Mr. He, there is a Mr. Long who wants to visit."

Zou Wenhuai waved his hand and refused without even thinking about it: "No, no, if the person who comes to ask for money delays it, just say I'm not here!"

Du Huidong nodded and was about to step back when He Guanchang called out, "Wait, Adu, did you just say Mr. Long?"

"Yes, a handsome young man."

"Wen Huai, I think you should meet this Mr. Long." He Guanchang said with a smile on his face.

"A nameless boy, what do I see him for?" Zou Wenhuai said with great impatience in his tone.

He Guanchang ignored it, and said directly to Du Huidong, "Please invite Mr. Long to the reception room and wait on him carefully. Wenhua and I will go over immediately."

After Du Huidong went out, Zou Wenhuai looked at him with displeasure. Before he could speak, He Guanchang had already smiled and said, "Didn't you say that you want to find someone to invest in? This Mr. Long is here to send you, hurry up and follow me with another expression." Meeting guests."

"Mr. Long? Which Mr. Long? Let you be so serious."

"Which dragon family is there in Hong Kong!"

"Ah, you mean"

He Guanchang nodded and said: "Yes. So don't talk nonsense later, I will tell everything."

"Okay, okay." The gloom in Zou Wenhuai's heart was swept away, and he immediately put on an energetic demeanor,

After Wang Xiaohu confirmed the shooting plan, he immediately asked Xu Guanwen, who had been in the snow for half a year, out for tea. Xu Guanwen now has a deep resentment towards Wang Xiaohu, and the first thing he said after the meeting was: "Ah Hu, I still think you have forgotten me Well, I get a monthly salary of [-] Hong Kong dollars from Xiehe, but I don’t do anything, I always feel a little uneasy, if you don’t see me again, the four of us brothers will have to start anew.”

Wang Xiaohu said with a smile: "A while ago, the Hong Kong film market was in chaos. I believe you have seen it. It was really not a good time to shoot "Ghost and Horse Twin Stars". Now that the market has stabilized, I will come to you without stopping. Well, how about it, have you discussed the plan I proposed last time?"

The plan proposed by Wang Xiaohu is to let the four brothers of the Xu family set up a separate film production company, but like the early Xiehe Company, it is subordinate to the Xiehe Company for overall management. How much is divided into.

"I've thought about it a long time ago, and our four brothers all agree with this plan." Xu Guanwen said with a smile on his face, without any worries: "In the whole circle, Concord and Shaw are the largest, and Shaw does not allow cooperation. Filming, Golden Harvest is down again, all we want to film is to ask you to cooperate."

"Well, that's good." Wang Xiaohu nodded. The film of Xu Brothers Company is worth investing in and shooting. Xu's humorous style determines the box office market. , wouldn't it be that the fat that reaches the mouth is handed over to others?
"Ahu, you also know that this is my first time directing a film, and I don't have enough experience. You have to shoot an assistant director to help me." Xu Guanwen is self-aware. The director is really a big girl on the sedan chair—for the first time, before the shooting, the four brothers studied the script every day, and they really liked the script written by Wang Xiaohu. They wanted to invest in the shooting immediately, but they really lacked confidence stand up.

Wang Xiaohu chuckled and said, "This matter is very simple. I asked Ah John to be the assistant director. You all worked together at Shaw Brothers before. You should be very clear about Ah John's level."

"Ha, that couldn't be better!" Xu Guanwen said happily, "I've heard that John is the apprentice of director Zhang Cheh. With his help, I should be much more relaxed. You also know how many scenes It is very big, and thousands of gamblers are required to participate in the performance. If it is filmed in Lisboa, I am afraid that I will not have enough on-site experience to film the ideas you want to express in your script."

"Don't worry, John is good enough to deal with this. He is very good at controlling the scene." Wang Xiaohu is full of praise for Wu Yusen. This is not just bragging, but Wu Yusen does have such a level. He has followed Zhang Cheh to film three films in these years. Water Margin drama, which movie doesn't feature hundreds of people?
After seeing off the happy Xu Guanwen, Wang Xiaohu took the Seven Little Fu brothers to Bruce Lee's restaurant. The restaurant was still open in an orderly manner, but in the past six months, Wang Xiaohu never entered here every time he passed by, because every time he came, he would think of Brother Xiaolong. , the five private rooms on the second floor that were once talked about by dragon fans can all bring back memories of Wang Xiaohu.

"I called everyone over today because we haven't had a get together for more than half a year." After sitting down, Wang Xiaohu raised a glass of wine and said, "Thank you for taking care of me over the years. I will serve this glass first as a respect."

"Ah Hu, don't drink too much, otherwise Ah Zhi will be unhappy when she smells alcohol all over her body when she returns home." Yuen Biao kindly reminded him from the side, causing everyone to burst into laughter.

Wang Xiaohu shook his head with a smile and said, "It's okay, anyway, Ah Zhi knows my temper, and if I drink too much, I will definitely go to sleep immediately, so I won't go out to fool around like you."

Everyone laughed again. In the past six months, everyone has been very nervous and depressed. Now that the old rival Golden Harvest has collapsed and the company's performance is booming, the brothers are naturally very happy.

"Ah Hu, when will you arrange for me to shoot a new movie?" Jackie Chan asked with a smile while holding up a wine glass to toast.

"Aaron, sit down first." Wang Xiaohu patted Jackie Chan on the shoulder with a smile and said, "This is my plan. I want to arrange for you to go to Hollywood in the near future to learn some experience and lay a good foundation for your career in Hollywood. I don't know how you feel?"

"Go to Hollywood?" Jackie Chan frowned when he heard the words, and he looked a little unhappy at the moment. He curled his lips and said, "Ah Hu, I can't speak English well. I'm afraid I won't be able to develop there. Why don't you write a few better scripts and let me continue to hang out in Hong Kong."

"Hey! But people should always have a long-term perspective!" Wang Xiaohu knew very well that the reason why Jackie Chan said this was because he was running in Hong Kong now. Not only did he have a villa, but he also bought a bright sports car a few days ago. It was the famous watch on his wrist, and Wang Xiaohu saw it for no less than five yuan. That is to say, Jackie Chan changed a watch a day, and he couldn't help showing off when he was talking to people or eating.

This kind of Jackie Chan is far from the Jackie Chan in Wang Xiaohu's mind. The more high-profile he is, the more it means that his star fans are starting to spread out. This is not a good phenomenon. Wang Xiaohu frowned and said: "If you want to continue to develop in Hong Kong, It's not impossible, but you have to learn how to keep a low profile."
