new kung fu king

Chapter 349 Invitation from the 46th Oscar

Speaking of this, Run Run Shaw couldn't help sighing, looked at Wang Xiaohu and thought for a while, "According to what you said, we Hong Kong films can only resist the invasion of overseas films if we unite."

Wang Xiaohu nodded, "That's right, on the premise of being united, we should try our best to integrate Chinese characteristics into the film, so that overseas audiences can accept our Chinese culture bit by bit, and not be afraid of Six Uncle's jokes. I felt an inexplicable pressure, which made me breathless, because now Hollywood only appreciates our kung fu movies and action movies, and they don’t buy other types of movies, just like we don’t like American movies now.”

"Hey, let's go step by step. Do your own thing well within your ability, and Uncle Six will fully support you." Run Run Shaw is old, and although he refuses to accept his old age, in front of a young man like Wang Xiaohu, he can clearly Feel the powerlessness brought about by the alternation of old and new ideas.After a long time, Run Run Shaw called the Human Resources Department and asked if Michelle's latest schedule was suitable. The answer he got disappointed Wang Xiaohu. "Axue is working on a movie, why don't you think about other people. Wang Mingquan can do it too."

"Hehe, since Michelle is not free, I'll think of another way." Wang Xiaohu said with a wry smile.

"You really don't think about Wang Mingquan?" Run Run Shaw said, "She is the first sister of TVB."

"Her style is not what I need for this film." Wang Xiaohu shrugged helplessly, then stood up from the sofa and walked out: "Sixth Uncle, let Liu Jialiang or Liu Jiahui come to me to get the script later." Wang Xiaohu said The script mentioned is of course "Lu Ah Cai and Huang Feihong". In my memory, Lau Ka Fai became popular with this film, and then there were three Shaolin masterpieces.

After returning home, Zhao Yazhi was reading the script of "A Hu". Seeing Wang Xiaohu came back, she immediately put down the script and put on slippers for him. "How about it, have you borrowed Miss Mi Xue from Uncle Six?"

"No, Michelle's recent schedule is not suitable." Wang Xiaohu gently hugged his wife, and then asked, "Where is Li Guohao?"

"He hangs out with Xingzi all day long, and is kicking sandbags in your practice room now." Zhao Yazhi said worriedly: "If Michelle can't join, should we consider letting sister Xiu play the role of pim? Since you signed her, you have not arranged for her to film, and she has complained several times."

"Hehe, she is really not suitable for this drama." Sitting on the sofa, Wang Xiaohu drank the red bean soup that Zhao Yazhi had boiled over and said, "You have also read the script. The role of pim is a very independent woman with full of personality. Sister Xiu is now acting as if she is pure and ascetic, I am afraid that she will be a vase again in the film."

"Hey, you promised to prepare a women's play for us before!" Zhao Yazhi was unhappy at the moment: "Besides, Sister Xiu has nothing to do this year, and she is immersed in Brother Xiaolong's grief all day long. I'm afraid What's going on with her like this?"

"Really let her play pim? You know that in the film, Ah Hu has an intimate scene with pim, so you're not jealous at all?" Wang Xiaohu joked.

"It's just a joke." Zhao Yazhi rolled her eyes at him and said angrily, "You look down on me too much, am I that kind of narrow-minded woman?"

"Uh, no, not only are you not narrow, but you are also majestic." Wang Xiaohu said, staring at her plump breasts.

"Fuck you, people say it's a serious business." Zhao Yazhi came up and took his arm and said, "You should treat me as a favor."

"Okay! I'm revising the script and trying to remove these intimate scenes." Wang Xiaohu sighed. Anyway, these are not the selling points of "A Hu".

"I remembered, the role of Pim and Ah Hu's daughter Ploy has not been determined yet, right?" Zhao Yazhi asked enthusiastically again.

"Undecided yet." Wang Xiaohu nodded depressedly and said, "It's too difficult to find a suitable actor these days."

Zhao Yazhi looked at Wang Xiaohu, a sly look flashed in her eyes, she pushed his shoulder and said, "Ahu, since we are not sure, can I consider my good sister to play the role?"

"Your good sister? Who is it?" Wang Xiaohu looked at her in surprise and asked.

"Of course it's Ah Weng." Zhao Yazhi said as a matter of course: "I've read the script, Ah Weng's Xing Gen and Ploy are very suitable, besides, you don't have a suitable candidate."

"Hey!" Wang Xiaohu slapped his thigh vigorously when he heard the words, and said, "You said my brain, why did I forget Ah Weng!"

Ah Weng naturally refers to Weng Meiling. Since filming the first five episodes of "Fist of Fury" last year, Weng Meiling has continued to go to school, and will come to Chiu Yazhi every month to have a heart-to-heart talk. It made Wang Xiaohu feel very interesting.

After three consecutive days of busy work by Wang Xiaohu, the cast of "A Hu" was finally finalized, followed by the perfection of the script and the rehearsal of martial arts moves. It didn't go very smoothly at the beginning. As soon as the film was released, God would not be a matchmaker. It rained lightly for four or five days in a row. Xu Guanwen was worried to death. He found Wang Xiaohu and said, "Ah Hu, if it continues like this, Isn't the box office going to suffer!"

Wang Xiaohu had no choice but to scratch his head and said, "It's okay, we will extend the screening time."

Wu Yusen on the side thought for a while and interjected: "Brother Hu, why don't we follow your example in "Way of the Dragon" and perform a short music video at the same time."

"You mean MTV, right?" Wang Xiaohu smiled and said, "No problem, there should be unexpected results. Go find Xu Guanjie."

"If Brother Hu hadn't filmed the MTV of "I Am Bruce Lee", I wouldn't have thought of this method. Sam and I created several musical short plays together, and within three days we shot, edited, printed, The sound mixing was completed, and on the fourth day it was screened in theaters together with "Twin Stars". Unexpectedly, both the movie and the short film were very popular. As a result, "Twin Stars" earned 620 million Hong Kong dollars at the box office. The three of us I was very happy personally, and felt like a family at that time, everyone was engrossed in the movie." Many years later, Wu Yusen was still very excited when he mentioned this past event to others.

At the same time as "Ghost and Horse Twin Stars" was released, "Shaolin Wooden Man Alley" directed by Luo Wei and starring Wang Yu also began its release period. Wang Xiaohu directly and happily adjusted the theater schedule so that the two films would be played at the same time. This is very grateful to Wang Xiaohu, because he more or less knew that the script of "Shaolin Wooden Man Lane" was "given" to him by Wang Xiaohu.

Not only that, several martial arts instructors in Luo Wei's company are also graduates of the Dragon and Tiger Martial Arts Union. Earning 250 million Hong Kong dollars, this made Luo Wei very happy. He took Wang Xiaohu's hand and said, "Ah Hu, thanks to your help this time."

"It's easy to say. Let's prosper Hong Kong's film industry together." Wang Xiaohu laughed, but said in his heart that this was just to achieve the purpose of restraining Golden Harvest Company, not to mention Luo Wei's 250 million miles, he can also draw part of the box office dividends, everyone If there is money to be made, he will naturally not refuse.

"I'm going to have a celebration party in a few days, don't forget to come and attend." Luo Wei had a smug smile all over his face, since he has been a director for more than ten years, he has never been so proud today.

"In a few days, I may have a new film to start shooting, and I'm going to Thailand to shoot scenes, I'm afraid." Wang Xiaohu spread his hands and said apologetically.

Luo Wei was a little disappointed, and said sullenly: "Okay, I know you are very busy, and Wang Yu and I will meet you for tea later."

"OK!" Wang Xiaohu saw off the enthusiastic Luo Wei, shrugging helplessly with his mouth curled. It would be fine to drink tea with Luo Wei, but Wang Yu, let's forget it, everyone knows that he is Zhulian As a core member of the gang, I just had some entanglements with the Bamboo Union Gang a while ago. I guess that Fatty Tian probably said bad things about himself, so it's better to keep a little distance first.

The crew of "A Hu" prepared for more than a week. During this week, Wang Xiaohu had detailed communication with several main actors, especially with Miao Kexiu. Not to mention pim's character positioning, in fact, it is not to blame for Miao Kexiu's lack of acting skills, but Wang Xiaohu's requirements are particularly strict, which is a bit miserable for Miao Kexiu who has always been a vase.

Zhao Yazhi's nun, Weng Meiling's ploy is mostly her own performance, so she didn't bother Wang Xiaohu in this aspect, so in her spare time, Zhao Yazhi would take the initiative to take on Wang Xiaohu's work and tell Miao Kexiu about the role of pim as a woman.

Everything was well-prepared. A few days later, Wang Xiaohu decided to go to Thailand with the whole crew to shoot the scene. At this time, the "DV camera" model he ordered with Lucas was also delivered by airmail. There was a document. When Wang Xiaohu saw this document, he couldn't stop smiling from ear to ear.

"Boss, have you received the letter?" Winterdur even made an overseas call.

"Yes, I just received it." Wang Xiaohu said, "Old Wen, are you sure this is not a joke?"

"Of course, boss, your four films last year firmly occupied the top four at the North American box office. It is a well-deserved invitation to you to participate in the 46th Oscar. If you don't receive the invitation, you will be damned!" Winterdur He shouted loudly and excitedly on the phone: "Boss, you still have a week to go, come here early to familiarize yourself with the environment, because now everyone is very interested in your dark horses."
