new kung fu king

Chapter 393
The Spring Festival, which made Wang Xiaohu so busy that he couldn't breathe, finally came to an end. On the morning of the [-]th day of the first lunar month, Wang Xiaohu brought his family to Xiehe Company. Amidst the sound of crackling firecrackers, all the employees, artists, and directors of Xiehe Company gathered at the door Watching it in front of the audience attracted the crowds of the whole street. There is no way, because more than half of the people in this company are the idols of the people in Hong Kong.

After busy tossing about for about half an hour, Wang Xiaohu finally took a breath. Although he was still a little busy today, he was very familiar with this kind of busyness and liked it very much.

The crew of "A Lang's Story" has been established. Wang Xiaohu is the producer, screenwriter, and executive director of the film. The main actors include Chow Yun-fat, Zhang Aijia, Stephen Chow, Wu Mengda, Wan Hanfei, Luo Zhengyang and others. Among them, the fourth batch of Hong Kong Dragon and Tiger Warrior Union All the students do graduation practice in the film, and those with excellent grades will directly enter Xiehe Company.

And Jackie Chan, who has just returned to Seven Little Fortunes, has also corrected his mentality. Before the company opened, he was busy cleaning the office for a few days. In the film, he plays a racing driver who can't see his face with a helmet.

When many Xiehe employees heard Wang Xiaohu mention this point at the year-end mobilization meeting, they couldn't help but get weird expressions on their faces. They all knew that Jackie Chan was once the most dazzling star in Hong Kong, and his influence was not inferior at all in Southeast Asia. Can he agree to a superstar like him playing a role that is not even a supporting role?
But Jackie Chan nodded without hesitation, stood up and bowed, with a very sincere attitude, and said without any dissatisfaction: "Thank you."

It is said that good horses don’t turn their backs. Jackie Chan quit when he was the most dazzling, and now he ran back in a desperate manner. Not to mention the usual rebelliousness disappeared, not to mention the world famous watches on his wrists. Some people even watched When he went to work, he didn't drive a sports car, but came directly as a bus.

There are various signs that Jackie Chan has really changed this time. When talking to people, his voice is no longer so arrogant and proud, but has become gentle and kind, which makes many people think that they have misunderstood the person for a while.

The employees gradually smelled the strange smell, looked at Jackie Chan, then looked at Wang Xiaohu, it was one thing to know it in their hearts, but another thing to see it with their own eyes, in short, they admired the young boss completely, Niu, Brother Hu It's so awesome, even a rebellious boy like Jackie Chan is so obedient.

"Listen up, "A Lang" crew, I'll give you half a month to familiarize yourself with the script, after which we will start intense shooting work and try to release it on Father's Day." Wang Xiaohu knocked on the table and said, "Okay, here's One group of meetings is over, the next group of meetings, Shaonan, go and call in all the people from the four satellite companies."

After Wang Xiaohu finished speaking, he propped his head and closed his eyes to rest his mind. After the New Year, he had a lot of work to do. He had already arranged some things during the New Year, but he had to review them at the next year's meeting.

If a company wants to continue to operate normally, it must have a comprehensive grasp of the company's internal structure, employees, capital chain, etc. Some things Wang Xiaohu dares to let the people below do it, and some things, such as the things the boss has to do, He has no possibility of letting go at all, so he can only be a little bit tired and let himself be a little bit tired.

Xu Guanwen, Sammo Hung, Yuan Heping, and New Art City came to the conference room. After drinking tea, Wang Xiaohu sorted out his thoughts and said, "I have already reviewed the scripts of "Half Catty", "Seven Little Fortunes", and "Lin Shirong". There is no big problem, Brother Wen, I can only say sorry for the fact that you asked Azhi to make a cameo in "Half a Catty", because she is pregnant now, and I don't want her to be too tired!"

"Oh!"

The bosses of the four major satellite companies of Xiehe looked at Wang Xiaohu with wide-eyed eyes, and Sammo Hung asked happily, "Ah Hu, when did it happen?"

"It's been about a month and a half." Wang Xiaohu said with a smile.

"Congratulations, Ah Hu (Master)!" Everyone in the conference room clasped their hands together to congratulate Wang Xiaohu, which slightly relieved Wang Xiaohu's fatigue. It was so sweet in my heart.

is it easy?It's not easy, rebirth is not as good as in the fourth year, and I will finally become a father. Although the child will not be born until the end of the year, the sense of expectation and satisfaction is an unprecedented experience. If it is not because the company has a lot of things to do. Dealing with it, he even wanted to stay at home, put his ear on Zhao Yazhi's belly every day, and listen to the sound of the child rolling inside, even though Zhao Yazhi told him repeatedly: the child has not yet formed, he still likes to do this foolishly.

The joy of being a father made Wang Xiaohu full of strength again. After coughing twice to keep the meeting room quiet, he turned his head and looked at Huang Baiming, Mai Jia, and Shi Tian until the three of them felt a little guilty when he looked at them. Then he said, "Why, don't you have confidence in the script you wrote?"

As the world's second film production place after Hollywood, Hong Kong is actually enough to dominate the world. Hong Kong films have attracted the attention of the world with their unique style and context. Bruce Lee's kung fu films opened up the international market, followed by Jackie Chan, Liu Jialiang, etc. People came from behind, and they were also heavily influenced by Europe and the United States at that time. Hong Kong films actually walked quietly between localization and internationalization. The "Best Partner" series is one of them.

At this time, the three giants of New Art City felt guilty, and the reason was actually very simple, because Wang Xiaohu had already thrown the script of "Best Partner" into the trash can three times before.

The script created by the three apprentices of "King of Scripts" and "Box Office Guarantee" Wang Xiaohu was thrown into the trash can. I am afraid that no one would believe it. After all, scripts that are regarded as garbage in Wang Xiaohu's eyes will definitely sell outside. The submission was more than [-] Hong Kong dollars, and the three rejections made the apprentices a little uneasy, a little uneasy, and felt that the pressure was not ordinary.

As the main screenwriter of "Best Partner", Huang Baiming wiped the cold sweat from his forehead vigorously, nodded and said, "Master, we, we don't know what is the script you want."

"Easy, spoof, and funny!" Wang Xiaohu said: "There must also be a subversive spirit."

The three of Huang Baiming listened carefully, and at the same time slowly analyzed the request of his father in their hearts.

"If you don't grasp these key points, then I won't read the fourth draft of the script." Wang Xiaohu said, throwing the script into the trash can, with just the right amount of strength and high accuracy, and it was a pleasure to read. Come out, this guy usually throws other people's scripts.

Huang Baiming, Mai Jia, and Shi Tian glanced away at the trash can, feeling very uncomfortable in their hearts.

At this moment, Wang Xiaohu snorted coldly, and said with a stern face: "Don't think that I am demanding on you. The script you created copied the 007 model, but the characteristics of Hong Kong localization are not obvious, especially in many plots and plots. The dialogue is full of standard American taste, Hong Kong citizens may not be willing to buy it!"

Shi Tian shrunk his neck when he heard the words. The plot of the question Wang Xiaohu just asked happened to be created by him.When they asked Wang Xiaohu for a hint, Wang Xiaohu just said "007" and never said anything else. The three of them immediately followed this hint and worked overtime during the Spring Festival to complete several similar scripts, including today's fourth draft. The script, they've racked their brains.

According to Wang Xiaohu's memory, the 007 series became popular in Asia at that time, but for Asian audiences, it had a unique aesthetic meaning. How could the shrewd Xiangjiang filmmakers give up such an opportunity for reference? From the pure tribute of the first film to the subsequent cross-sea The cooperation has truly witnessed the domineering history of the perfect fusion of the two major film giants at that time. As the film that New Art City advertises as an official pioneering work, the degree of intention can be seen.

But the Big Three didn't fully comprehend Wang Xiaohu's advice, and even self-righteously wrote the script to annoy him, making him sometimes mutter in his heart: Is it right for me to do this?

But in the next moment, this sense of guilt quickly disappeared. The fourth draft of the script made Wang Xiaohu nod a little. Some parts of it have gradually matched his memory, but the performance is not so obvious and mature. So he pretended that he hadn't read the script, and stimulated them in a way that was usually painful for the Big Three to stimulate their creative motivation and inspiration.

Wang Xiaohu knew that as long as the first film was successful, their cooperation would become closer, and the creation of the film script would gradually mature, eventually forming the style and characteristics of New Art City, and the Big Three felt a lot of pressure now. , In the future, they will have to thank Master for his harsh demands on them back then.

Looking at the three apprentices who were frowning and thinking hard, Wang Xiaohu secretly smiled, and said with a straight face: "In three days, your new script must be placed on my desk in the morning of the fourth day. If you dare to leave the draft and refuse to submit it , I'll cut off the brains of the three of you and kick them as balls."

The last joke scared Mai Jia into a fright. He subconsciously hugged his bald head, fearing that Wang Xiaohu would really do something. His cute appearance caused everyone in the conference room to laugh.

After the meeting, the heads of the three major satellite companies began to discuss the schedule, because whether it is "Seven Little Fortunes", "Lin Shirong" or "Half a Catty", some of the actors are shared by each other. He played Yu Zhanyuan in "Little Fortune" and also starred in "Lin Shirong" directed by Yuan Heping. The actor's schedule is definitely a very troublesome thing.

Wang Xiaohu doesn't bother to care about these things now. After all, this so-called trouble is only a result of a few directors wrangling and discussing with each other.This afternoon he will go to Yuen Long to learn Xingyi Quan from Shen Zhong.
