Chapter 407 "A Lang's Story" boot

In terms of special effects, Lucas and Spielberg are experts. After handing over the main tasks to them, Wang Xiaohu began to immerse himself in other things.

At present, there are many things that need to be resolved before Wang Xiaohu. Half of the filming of "Half Weight" and "Lin Shirong" has been completed. Wang Xiaohu spent the whole morning walking around the two studios. I was encouraged.

Naturally, the two family members had nothing to say. They patted their chests and swore that they would devote themselves to filming with quality and quantity, and would not damage Concorde's brand name. After all, Concorde is now a large international company, and it is well-known in the world's film industry. Just like a natural sense of superiority, which company can gain a firm foothold in Hollywood in just two years like Concorde, and has swept the North American box office records with three films successively, and even became the world's box office leader?
This sense of superiority made Concorde's employees and satellite companies straighten their backs and feel confident.

After one and a half months of preparation, the three giants of New Art City had already held a start-up ceremony before Wang Xiaohu returned to Hong Kong. Originally, they wanted to wait for Master to come back before starting the machine, but Wang Xiaohu reprimanded them on the phone, and Huang Baiming was wronged on the phone Said: Actually, we want to embolden Master.

This low-quality reason made Wang Xiaohu smile bitterly, so he called Sammo Hung, Xu Guanwen, Yuan Heping, and even Run Run Shaw, and asked them to cheer on the opening ceremony of "Best Partner" and give a few incompetent apprentices a boost. So bold and so on, in short, these three guys were very popular in the past few days, and they made the headlines of Hong Kong media newspapers, absolutely honorable.

Except for the strict requirements on the script, the current Wang Xiaohu let the people of his satellite company to toss about other things. After all, he has a lot of things to be busy, and it is impossible to consider everything comprehensively.

After three days back, Wang Xiaohu has been busy. "Seven Little Fortunes" has entered the shooting stage. After a month of rehearsals, the five little guys have already acquired a considerable foundation in Peking Opera, and they look like Seven Little Fortunes when they were apprentices. , alive and kicking on the set.When Wang Xiaohu came to the set to visit the set, the five children grabbed his arms in an indescribable way.

"Father Xiaohu, I'm going to study in England after this film is finished." Weng Meiling said habitually with her arms around Wang Xiaohu's neck.

"Huh?" Wang Xiaohu frowned, and then remembered that Weng Meiling was still going to study in the UK. In history, after graduating from Rose Middle School, Weng Meiling moved to the UK in 1974 to reunite with her mother and completed her studies in the UK.In this life, Weng Meiling postponed this time for a whole year. On the one hand, it was because she was taken care of by Wang Xiaohu in Hong Kong, which relieved the pressure of her uncle's life to a large extent. After entering the film industry, Weng Meiling always has an irresistible excitement for filming.

"Oh, Ah Weng has grown into a big girl before I know it!" Wang Xiaohu scratched her delicate nose with a smile, pulled her off his body and said, "A Weng has grown up, so he can't be so mischievous in the future." It's on Laodou."

"Hmph! You beg me to hang up in the future, but I won't hang up!" Weng Meiling wrinkled her nose and said angrily with a grimace.

"Hehe, have you gone through the formalities?"

Weng Meiling nodded and said: "Well, old man, you have a lot of face. Once they heard that I was your godson, they almost opened the green channel to the end. It took others more than a month to get a visa. I used it. Less than a week."

"Huh?" Wang Xiaohu was delighted, he never thought that he still had some influence in Hong Kong, even the little girl knew how to announce her name, playing the trick of pretending to be powerful.Habitually stroking Weng Meiling's hair, she said: "When you get there, you have to study hard. Recently, I have a lot of things to do, and I may not have time to take care of you. If the tuition and living expenses are not enough, I will go to you, Sister Zhi. ?"

"I know~" Weng Meiling dragged out her voice, ran away with a smile and said, "Old Dou, no one told you, are you a mother-in-law?"

"Stinky girl!" Wang Xiaohu cursed with a smile.

Overall, the filming progress of "Seven Little Fortunes" is quite impressive. The five children performed with heart, and Sammo Hung also directed with heart. Brother, Wang Xiaohu's hard-core brother, he gritted his teeth and persisted in all these hardships, because he knew that Wang Xiaohu was more tired and harder than himself.

Time soon entered the beginning of August. During this half month, Xiehe Company as a whole showed healthy development. Wang Xiaohu visited the set to supervise in the morning, and sat in the company in the afternoon to discuss with the three major leftist film companies.

The three major leftist film companies are very active and proactive. They let go of the habits of domestic politicians and behaved very well in front of Wang Xiaohu. After all, they have issued documents and must fully obey and cooperate with Wang Xiaohu's filming work.

"The early filming work will not be too obvious to everyone's progress." After reading the list of "students" sent by the three companies, Wang Xiaohu said to President Liang, the general representative: "It's all about special effects, and it's very boring. , if you go to study, I’m afraid you won’t learn anything at all, some things can’t be copied, even if you learn, there are no conditions for filming in China.”

For the humbly learning attitude of the three companies, Wang Xiaohu can only find it funny. He knows that the country will not give up this great learning opportunity. Even if he refuses repeatedly, these guys will try their best to learn secretly. Let me make it clear: I am not afraid of you learning, and I am not afraid of you learning the technology, but it is useless if you learn it. There are no conditions, no equipment, no manpower and material resources in the country, and more importantly, no platform for healthy development.

"Special effects are a new thing after all. Everyone will inevitably be curious. Comrade Xiao Wang, why don't you think about it? After all, the opportunity is rare." President Liang suggested with a smile on his face.

"OK, but we have three chapters of the law. First, I don't care how much you learn, as long as you don't delay the progress of the shooting. Second, all the props and items on the set are limited, and more than 90% of the items are real money. I bought it from the United States, so I hope everyone will take good care of it while studying on the set. Third, don’t use any reason or any means to stand up and point fingers, or express what you think is correct.” Wang Xiaohu said with a serious expression: “If everyone If we can abide by these three agreements, we will have a happy cooperation, if anyone knowingly commits a crime, then I am sorry, I will directly contact the country and terminate the cooperation with the country."

As soon as Wang Xiaohu's words fell, the three high-level executives present took a breath. The three agreements explained three issues: don't use the reason of learning to affect the progress of the filming, don't take away the props on the set with dirty hands and feet, and don't use your meager I will challenge the authorities in the special effects industry with my film knowledge, because you have no money or effort, and everything is bought by me, Wang Xiaohu, with money!

The investment of hundreds of millions is only Wang Xiaohu's initial budget, of which he himself contributed 85%, Run Run Shaw 10%, and three leftist film companies contributed the other 5%. No matter from which point of view, Wang Xiaohu occupies He has the right to take the initiative to speak, and he has a letter written by Taizu in his hand. This thing is definitely a good thing like Shangfang's sword. If the executives of the three leftist film companies are not obedient, they will have to take it out and knock the mountain.

Wang Xiaohu has no objection to cooperating with the mainland. The premise is that you can’t tell me what I’m going to do. I must have absolute initiative. If you start tossing about the special effects now, if you enter the domestic scene later, then I’m still not passive. die?

So Wang Xiaohu made his words clear today. This is not only his usual style, but also indirectly conveys a cryptic message to the mainland.

"Comrade Xiao Wang, please don't worry, we will learn humbly and work hard to cooperate." President Liang knew that Wang Xiaohu's words were absolutely confident, so he hurriedly winked at the other dissatisfied people.

So the two parties reached an agreement in this way, and Wang Xiaohu also started to prepare for the part of the film set in Thailand. Zhang Yuan, Wang Jiaxin, Lucas, Spielberg, Xie Dongshen, Li Qingsheng and others were sent to Thailand to prepare for the early stage The special effects scene layout, while Wang Xiaohu is non-stop preparing for the opening ceremony of "A Lang's Story". After all, special effects are not something that can be completed in three to five days. It is estimated that the scene layout alone will take three to five months. During this period of time, he must fulfill his promise to Chow Yun-fat and make Brother Fa popular~
On August 8th (uh, today seems to be August 11th, what a coincidence!), in Shaw Brothers Qingshuiwan Film and Television City, in front of a newly built motorcycle track, Wang Xiaohu led the crew of "A Lang's Story" to hold the launch The ceremony, this time was somewhat different from the previous start-up ceremonies. Usually, there was a lion dance and ribbon cutting after the firecrackers. This time, with the sound of firecrackers, five motorcycles flew out from the starting point of the track. The motorcycles have different colors, divided into red, yellow, blue, green, and purple. Among them, Chow Yun-fat is driving the red motorcycle, Wan Hanfei is the yellow one, Jackie Chan is the blue one, and two friends of Wan Hanfei are the green and purple ones. , are well-known players in the Hong Kong racing industry.

Five motorcycles made deafening roars, and at the same time as the firecrackers sounded, they rushed out with puffs of black smoke. The red motorcycle was far ahead. Fa Ge's driving skills have finally improved in the past six months .

Wang Xiaohu knew that Chow Yun-fat had suffered a lot in the past six months in order to make a good film of "A Lang's Story". He had to learn how to ride with Wan Hanfei every day, and occasionally with Wan Hanfei and Jackie Chan in the underground racing circle in Hong Kong. Playing two games, looking for the role positioning and feeling, so the Chow Yun-fat that Wang Xiaohu sees now is completely different from the past, that kind of cold and chic, and he is getting closer to the "Little Ma" in his memory step by step, that is to say, Chow Yun-fat. Brother now knows how to use his strengths more and more, and gradually found his own acting style characteristics.
