Chapter 543 Will "Chu Liuxiang" be filmed or not?

"Is there really such a thing? Haha, then you are developed, developed!"

In Ying Kee Chasou, when Run Run Shaw heard that Shen Zhong sold a copy of "Mythology" for more than 900 million Hong Kong dollars, he laughed and pointed at Shen Zhong and said, "You have to pay for today's afternoon tea!"

"These are small things." Shen Zhong said with a smile: "This is thanks to the effective strategy you and Xiaohu made a few years ago. If it wasn't for the overall depression of Taiwan's film market and their film studios would not be able to survive. The Bamboo Union Gang won’t bleed profusely.”

Run Run Shaw sighed and said, "I never imagined that the copy would be so valuable on the black market, or it would have earned even more if it hadn't been screened in Hong Kong for a week."

"Who said it wasn't." Shen Zhong was also filled with emotion. To be honest, he himself did not expect that Wang Yu himself would raise the price so high. You must know that this copy was given to him for free by Wang Xiaohu, and Southeast Asia Formal channels around the country purchase agency distribution copyrights are only about 200 million Hong Kong dollars.

And the Bamboo Union raised it to 900 million this time, and it is not difficult to see their confidence in the box office of "Mythology".As for how the Bamboo Union Gang arranges the screenings in Taiwan to earn the money, that is not what Shen Zhong and others are considering.

The two old foxes chatted and laughed, and after a while, Wang Xiaohu finally arrived at Yingji Chasou. Before his buttocks were hot, Run Run Shaw said loudly: "Xiaohu, I asked old man Shen for money. He just gave you free money. The copy of "Myth" that was given to him sold 900 million on the black market, lol!"

"." Wang Xiaohu was confused, grinning and asked, "What 900 million?"

After Shen Zhong coughed twice and explained the ins and outs of the matter, Wang Xiaohu couldn't help laughing.

"Oh, isn't it, Taiwanese filmmakers are so impatient?"

Shen Zhong shook his head and blew on the tea, "It's not that I can't wait, it's you, the old and the young, and the two foxes who drove him to a dead end."

Wang Xiaohu stopped doing it when he heard it: "What do you mean we have driven them to a dead end? It's their Taiwan government messing around, okay?"

"That's right!" Run Run Shaw also chimed in and said, "Xiaohu and I are wronged! If you want to talk about the old fox, you are the only one in this room! You actually cheated the Bamboo Union Gang for 900 million!"

"I didn't force them with a knife, they did it voluntarily." Shen Zhong poured tea for Wang Xiaohu and said, "Xiaohu, don't worry, I'll give you half of the money. We still pay attention to loyalty."

"It's only half, you're stingy enough, you're doing business for nothing!" Run Run Shaw said with staring eyes, obviously he was very dissatisfied with such a distribution of spoils.

"It's okay, it's okay if you don't want it." Wang Xiaohu said with a smile: "These are all earned by Shen Laodou himself."

"Look how sensible Xiaohu is!" Shen Zhong pointed his finger at Run Run Shaw and said angrily, "Old Kou!"

"You are the old button!" Run Run Shaw blew his beard and stared, the two old urchins fought each other for a long time, and finally returned to their seats under Wang Xiaohu's persuasion.

"Obviously, the behavior of the Bamboo Union Gang this time is a test of the Taiwan government."

After the trouble was over, Wang Xiaohu frowned slightly and said: "That is to say, if the Bamboo Union Gang succeeds this time, the Taiwanese film industry will return to the previous situation. At least, at least it is a good thing for the Bamboo Federation Gang, because They can take this opportunity to expand their penetration into the film world."

Run Run Shaw nodded, "We shouldn't worry about these things, as long as Old Man Shen doesn't do anything that endangers the Hong Kong film industry, it doesn't matter."

Shen Zhong rolled his old eyes angrily and said: "I still know some sense of propriety, after all, we are all regular customers, and the relationship is not ordinary, but some petty and ignorant of the rules, Xiaohu, I invited you here this time to tell you. "

"What?" Wang Xiaohu grabbed a piece of snack and stuffed it into his mouth.

"Xin Ngee Ann has started to support Siyuan Company."

"Oh." Wang Xiaohu took a sip of tea, flushed down the snacks in his mouth and said, "After all, Xiang Laoshi couldn't hold back and shot, hehe."

Counting the time, it should be Xin Yi'an's turn to join the entertainment circle, but Wang Xiaohu did not expect Xiang Huaqiang to be so forbearing, for so many years.

"Oh what? Aren't you worried at all?" Shen Zhong said.

"What are you worried about? Aren't you staring at them, old man? If Xiang Huaqiang does something that breaks the rules, we'll work together to suppress it!" Wang Xiaohu shrugged. To be honest, he now has the Dragon and Tiger Warrior Union in his hand. With the help of 14K behind him, as well as the support of the Hong Kong police and Hong Kong governor beating people, a mere Xiang Huaqiang is no longer a threat in his eyes.

"After I'm done with the screening work in mainland China, I'll find time to talk to Xiang Huaqiang." Wang Xiaohu poured tea for the two old people, "The two old beans have to go together."

"Should be."

"necessary."

Shen Zhong and Run Run Shaw said it was their duty.

"Mythology" was screened in Hong Kong for a full month, and directly reached 1600 million Hong Kong dollars. Counting the 1200 million copyrights sold in Southeast Asia, as well as the small 200 million brought by scattered theaters, the total reached 3000 million. million Hong Kong dollars in revenue.

At this point, Wang Xiaohu's joy is not as strong as it was when it was released in North America, but he is still very happy, and took out 600 million Hong Kong dollars as a dividend. All the personnel who participated in the filming of "Mythology" will be divided according to their positions and performance during the filming. Got a lot of red envelopes.

The red envelope that Wang Xiaohu gave to Li Bihua was 50. Li Bihua was overwhelmed by this, and refused to accept the red envelope. It was not until Wang Xiaohu said that the sequel of "Mythology" would depend on her, that she reluctantly accepted it, saying that it was an advance payment. script adaptation costs.

Wang Xiaohu didn't care what she thought. Anyway, when the sequel of "Mythology" was filmed, he would pay according to the contract. For a talented writer like Li Bihua, Wang Xiaohu valued it very much. After all, Li Bihua's novels were very valuable for adaptation.

After more than two years of tossing, the elites of Xiehe Company were all consumed in one movie "Myth". As a result, the five major satellite companies of Xiehe Company did not release a movie on the market this year. Therefore, while waiting for news from the mainland, Wang Xiaohu squatted in the The submitted scripts are reviewed in the office.

Not to mention, the five major satellite companies after the new combination tossed a lot of scripts.

Among them, Sammo Hung submitted four scripts at once, namely "Tiger Shaking Teeth", "Tiger Frog", "Ghosts Fighting Ghosts", and "Involuntary".In Wang Xiaohu's impression, these are all films starring or producing by Sammo Hung.

Among them, "Tiger and Frog" is directed by the director Mai Jia, starring Sammo Hung and Liu Jiarong. The script mainly tells the relationship between the protagonist Tiger and Frog who are both enemies and friends, and how the two finally faced difficulties and joined hands to fight against the enemy, and finally turned the enemy into a friend. story.

Wang Xiaohu just took a rough look and passed the application directly.

Yuan Heping submitted two scripts, namely "The Brave and Fearless" and "Qimen Dunjia".

Wang Xiaohu began to laugh when he saw "Qi Men Dun Jia", because it means that Ba Ye has entered the second style era of his life, which is the representative work similar to the magical style.

It's just that in this respect, Sammo Hung's development is far better than Yuan Heping's. After all, "Ghosts Fighting Ghosts" has spawned a series of zombies.

"Hey, these two guys are more or less influenced by "Mythology"!" Wang Xiaohu said with emotion. Thinking about it carefully, "Mythology" contains elements of this aspect. If the two powerful generals don't take the opportunity to practice Isn't it wasted?
Wang Xiaohu passed it directly with a swipe of his pen. At this time, he should stand behind Sammo Hung and Yuan Heping to support them instead of denying them. style of.

As their friend, brother, Wang Xiaohu can't do too much intervention.

The Xu brothers learned from the experience of New Art City's "Best Partner" and decided to start filming "Modern Bodyguard" this year. It is also on the right track, but the dynasty ruled by the Xu brothers will also go downhill with "Modern Bodyguard" Hello!

Wang Xiaohu shook his head and sighed, the next thing to watch was the script submitted by Jackie Chan. Jackie Chan planned to have only one play this year, "Master Dragon".

Pass, pass, pass!
This was the first time Wang Xiaohu felt that reviewing scripts was so easy, so he directly called Li Shaonan into the office and asked him to polish all the scripts to see if there was anything that needed to be revised.

After busying with these things, Wang Xiaohu began to think about how to proceed with the next film.

It is already the early 80s, and Hong Kong movies are gradually getting on the right track. Apart from being busy hitting Hollywood, I seem to have forgotten one very important thing.After racking his brains for a long time, he suddenly realized!

But he forgot his wife Zhao Yazhi's development route in TV.

According to the development of history, Zhao Yazhi should have finished filming "Chu Liuxiang" with Zheng Shaoqiu in the past few years, so as to become TVB's leading actress, become a household name in Hong Kong and Taiwan, and a hot star, but under the butterfly effect, Zhao Yazhi only filmed one in TVB. "Fist of Fury", the rest of the time is busy shooting movies.

Especially for more than a year, she has been meticulously planning "Mythology", and has achieved great success, and her acting skills are even more pure.

"Wouldn't it be a bit inappropriate to shoot "Chu Liuxiang" again?" Wang Xiaohu pondered while rubbing his chin. After all, in "Chu Liuxiang", Zhao Yazhi played Su Rongrong, one of the gangster's confidante, and now what? , his wife's reputation is already very popular, so he naturally won't let his wife be a helper for Zheng Shaoqiu, and he can't play the role of Bandit Commander himself.

Oops, after thinking of this, Wang Xiaohu was in a dilemma. Should he make "Chu Liuxiang" or not?
