Chapter 522 The 80s Are Coming

(Some people say that "Soldiers" appeared in 79 as a bug, but it is not. If you read it carefully, you will know what Wang Xiaohu said to Zhao Gang: "Old Zhao, let your soldiers sing and sing for a while to teach you Your song." Obviously, this is what Wang Xiaohu taught the soldiers to sing, I feel that this explanation is superfluous, eh!)
Hong Kong Xiehe Film Company is no longer as shabby as it was when it first opened seven years ago. Many old employees of Xiehe, such as Xia Houmo, Li Shaonan, Wan Hanfei, Luo Jiansheng, Li Jianhua, Xu Junlong, etc., have now become the heads of various departments of the company.

For example, Xia Houmo is in charge of the company’s sound synthesis, Li Shaonan is the person in charge of the script creation department, Xu Junlong is in charge of the propaganda department, Wan Hanfei and Luo Jiansheng are in charge of the company’s action actors, and Li Jianhua assists Yuan Heping, Hong Jinbao and others in managing the dragon and tiger martial arts union Wait.

These people are the backbone of Xiehe. Their biggest feature is youth, yes, they are young, young and full of vitality. In the entire Hong Kong film circle, only the people of Xiehe Company are the youngest and most creative. , They surrounded Wang Xiaohu closely and made Concord a leader in the Hong Kong film industry.Of course, only Wang Xiaohu has such courage and charm to bring these people together.

It’s past the off-duty time at [-]:[-] pm, but everyone has no intention of leaving. After finishing a day’s lush work, each employee sits in his own post, and the entire Xiehe Company is in a state of anxious waiting.

"Why haven't you come yet? Didn't you say you'll be here at seven o'clock?"

Xu Junlong is the only uncle in Xiehe, but this uncle's personality is hotter than that of a young man. After all, he is the leader of the company's publicity work, and he is also very hot on weekdays.

"Uncle, don't shake it in front of my eyes, okay, if you shake it again, I'm going to faint from hunger." Xia Houmo curled his lips and said weakly on the glass curtain wall window sill in the lobby on the first floor of the company.

Xu Junlong sighed depressingly, and simply hid behind the aunt and swayed back and forth, looking up from time to time, muttering in his mouth: "Did that bastard, the gangster, sneak away? Why haven't you given me any news yet?"

"coming!"

As soon as Xu Junlong finished cursing this sentence, Wan Hanfei's slightly hoarse voice rang out outside the building, and the Xiehe employees who were anxious and eagerly looking forward to it rushed out of the building one after another.

Before Xiahoumo went out, he still yelled: "The music is playing, the colored lights, why are the colored lights still not on, Li Jianhua and Shaonan quickly pull up the banners! Hey, Shaonan asked you to pull up the banners, you run upstairs what?"

Li Shaonan said without turning his head, "I'll call Sister Zichen."

In the VIP room on the second floor, Long Zichen and Wang Jiaen were playing with building blocks. After hearing footsteps in the corridor, Long Zichen first walked to the window and took a look. The entrance of the company downstairs was already crowded with Xiehe employees. Several cars had just stopped.

With a gratified smile on Long Zichen's face, he turned around and came to Wang Jiaen's side and said softly, "Little Prince, Daddy and Mommy are back, follow me down to meet them."

Wang Jiaen frowned, tilted his head and said to Long Zichen: "No, they left me at home and ignored me, so I won't go to meet them."

Hearing what Wang Jiaen said, Long Zichen shook his head with a wry smile and said, "The little prince is not good. Daddy and Mommy are working, and they don't care about you anymore. Come down with your godmother. Your mommy is from the mainland. You bought a lot of toys back."

"Are there any new toys? Yes, yes." Wang Jiaen immediately threw the building blocks in his hand on the table, pulled Long Zichen's hand vigorously and said, "Godmother, let's go down quickly, I want a lot of toys. "

"Hey!" Long Zichen sighed, "Go slowly, and no one will grab you."

The front of Xiehe Company has become a sea of ​​cheers. The employees jumped and shouted and rushed to several cars. The colorful lights on the company building seemed to feel the joy, blinking and blinking with the music and cheers.Three headlights shone on the banner pulled up by the awning on the first floor, and it read "Welcome Brother Hu, Sister Zhi and the crew of "Myth" to return."

Amidst the sound of "Brother Hu!"

Long Zichen hugged Wang Jiaen at the end of the crowd. To be honest, the moment she saw Wang Xiaohu come out, her heart was as happy as everyone else's. Since she met Wang Xiaohu, this was the first time she greeted him.

"Little Prince, have you seen Daddy and Mommy?"

"I see." Wang Jiaen nodded, Long Zichen put him down from his arms when he saw this, pointed to Wang Xiaohu and his wife who were walking towards this side, and said, "Why don't you go if you see it?"

Wang Jiaen thought for a while, then trotted over
"Time flies so fast, it will be the end of 79 in a blink of an eye."

The day after Wang Xiaohu returned to Hong Kong, he called a meeting with the heads of the company's five major satellite companies.At the same time, the "New Seven Little Fortunes" were also present at the meeting. Those little guys back then are all seventeen or eighteen years old now. It was seeing them that Wang Xiaohu couldn't help expressing such emotion.

In the past few years, he can't wait for time to speed up, so that the actors he is familiar with will appear in the film and television industry, but when he sees Jet Li, Stephen Chow, Huang Rihua, Andy Lau, silent words gradually fade After looking at his face, he realized that he had missed a great opportunity.

They are no longer the little kids of the past, especially since Jet Li came to Hong Kong, his living standard has been greatly improved compared to when he was in the mainland. He is the tallest among the five, followed by Huang Rihua , Andy Lau, Stephen Chow and Shen Moyan.

Two years ago, Wang Xiaohu also planned to let Jet Li and Yuen Biao co-produce "Dragon in Shaolin", but now he can only give up this idea, because Jet Li is nearly 30 centimeters taller than three years ago, and then starred in "Dragon in Shaolin" "It's a bit pretentious.

The so-called gains and losses in this world are good, without "Dragon in Shaolin", "Shaolin Temple" can be filmed, anyway, the Shaolin Temple has been "moved back" to the film and television city, and go to the mainland to select those martial arts actors and start shooting directly That's fine.

After a short sigh, Wang Xiaohu made up his mind, then cleared his throat and said to everyone: "The 70s will be over soon, and the brand new 80s will come. Maybe you think it's a bit old-fashioned to say that, okay? , starting from next year, the burden on you will be even heavier, I hope you will not stick to the current satellite company model, you can shoot better movies with complete freedom."

After Wang Xiaohu finished speaking, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay. As the first satellite company of Xiehe, the Xu brothers had developed rapidly in the past few years, but with the development of Jackie Chan, Sammo Hung, Yuan Heping and others, Xu's momentum gradually weakened. After filming "Fat Qian Han" and going to the United States, Xu did not make a movie for a whole year, the reason being that he did not have a good script.

So Xu Guanwen agrees with Wang Xiaohu's arrangement, but he still has his own concerns, "Ah Hu, will our respective profits be reduced a lot?"

Wang Xiaohu shrugged his shoulders and said, "It depends on how you distribute it. I won't interfere with you in this regard."

What Wang Xiaohu said is very reasonable. With the advent of 80s, the appearance of new wave directors will inevitably have a certain impact on the inherent film institutions. If the market share of the five satellite companies is impacted by them In the end, that would cause bad consequences to some extent. Among these five companies, Wang Xiaohu is very aware of their strength.

After the 79 Sina Market, the first to be affected was the Xu Brothers Company. Their share in the market was reduced from the initial one film per year to two or even three years, and finally faded out of the film industry. The appeal of God is active on the front line.

Yuan Heping is relatively straightforward. On the night of the finale of "Mythology", he was a little drunk and said to Wang Xiaohu: "Ah Hu, you should withdraw Yuan's company. I am not the material for the management company. It’s easier to work as an action director and martial arts instructor full-time.”

Yuan Heping's love and dedication to the action design industry made Wang Xiaohu awe-inspiring. This is the pursuit of the world's number one martial arts.

After returning to Hong Kong this time, Wang Xiaohu held this meeting immediately after simply arranging the post-production of "Myth".

Among the five satellite companies, Wang Xiaohu is least worried about New Art City, Debao, and New Century.

Don't look at the fact that Huang Baiming, Mai Jia, and Shi Tian disappeared after only filming "Best Partner" after setting up the company. But Wang Xiaohu doesn't think so. These guys have not been idle after their success. In the past few years, they have been spending time in the company's screenwriting studio, helping Li Shaonan to collect good scripts. In fact, they are choosing suitable ones for them. For the script, I believe that after these few days of dormancy, they will definitely shock Hong Kong movies with their accumulation.

Relatively speaking, Wang Xiaohu is looking forward to the arrival of the era of the seven old monsters in New Art City.

Don't worry about Sammo Hung, Jackie Chan, and Yuen Biao. They are the Iron Triangle and the only troika that can compete with New Arts City.

The foundation has been laid for them, but Wang Xiaohu doesn't want to see bad relations between everyone fighting for the box office, so he suggested that they can disrupt the original organization and let them freely combine to create more good works.

Wang Xiaohu has already interfered too much in Hong Kong films. He hopes that in the next few years, these people will find their own path. To put it bluntly, it is to let them return to the track of history.This kind of regression does not mean going backwards, but it allows them to go further and have more stamina.

"Let's discuss freely first, I'll go to other departments for a while." Wang Xiaohu left the meeting room after leaving this sentence.

Xiehe recording studio and sound effects room are at the corner of the third floor. When Wang Xiaohu knocked on the door of the office in charge, he happened to hear Xia Houmo's sister Hua whispering something there.

"Sister, you see that you have been tanned for more than half a year since you went to the mainland! Yoyo, look at the sunburn on your face, that is horrible!" Xia Houmo said distressedly, pointing at the freckles on Xia Houjue's face.

Xia Houjue sighed helplessly and said, ""Mythology" was recorded live. Everyone was filming in the sun, so I can't let people record with umbrellas."

"Then you don't have to fight in person, look at yourself as a little black pig, let's see who will want you!" Xia Houmo snorted.

"What's my little sacrifice? Sister Zhi, Sister Qingxia, and Gillian are also on the scene. They are all first-line stars. They are much more serious than me. They don't complain. I have nothing to complain about." Xia Hou Jue is very dedicated.

"No, I have to go to Brother Hu to ask for damages. This will really disfigure my elder sister!" Xia Houmo became more and more angry as he thought about it, and said with his fists clenched.

"What damage fee do you want?" Wang Xiaohu said with a smile on his shoulders.

"Ah! Brother Hu! You... When did you come here!" Xia Houmo was startled, and said to Wang Xiaohu with his mouth open.

"That's when you said that I disfigured your sister and wanted to ask me for damages." Wang Xiaohu said with a smile, "What kind of damages are you?"

"Xia Houmo's psychological quality is also strong. He just panicked for a while, and said confidently: That's it, that skin loss fee. Look at my sister's skin is so tanned now. Men must despise her when she sees her. Don't you think so?" How about some damages?"

"Xiao Mo, don't say that, it's very unreasonable." Xia Houjue blushed for her sister, and hurriedly said to Wang Xiaohu: "Brother Hu, she's just joking around, hehe, don't take it to heart."

"Oh, just kidding." Wang Xiaohu nodded and said, "I came here today to tell you that the staff who went to mainland China to participate in the filming of "Mythology" worked very hard and would get a small box office bonus. Since you all said so ,Then forget it."

Xia Houjue's expression brightened immediately. Xia Houmo is not a vegetarian. She yelled strangely and said, "Ah, brother Hu, we are not joking. Can you tell me how much the dividend is?"

"Did you finish the background music and theme song I asked you to record before I left?" Wang Xiaohu didn't answer her, but asked about the recording of the background music and theme song of "Mythology".

"It was made two months ago, thanks to the help of Sister Zichen and Uncle Hui." Xia Houmo said cheerfully, then took Wang Xiaohu's arm and said, "Brother Hu, tell me how much dividends you get. "

"It doesn't seem like a lot." Wang Xiaohu said, "Hey, you don't seem to have gone to mainland China, why are you so concerned about numbers?"

"I, I'm asking on behalf of my sister. She's getting married soon, so I have to buy some dowry for her!" Xia Houmo flustered and didn't even make a draft.

"Damn girl, it's clear that you're getting engaged, yet I'm the one to blame!" Xia Houjue was upset when he heard that, and said, tapping Xia Houmo's little head.

"Oh, you're getting engaged." Wang Xiaohu was startled at first, and then cheered immediately: "Who has such a sense of justice to marry home the most difficult aunt of Xiehe Company, hahaha, I'll give him a big red envelope Encourage and encourage."

"Brother Hu, you are bullying!" Xia Houmo said aggrievedly.
-
This chapter is not a water injection, it can be regarded as a summary of the 70s. At the same time, through Wang Xiaohu's arrangement, it shows that his intervention in Hong Kong movies will become less and less in the future, and he will turn his attention to a larger stage.
