After leaving Mr. Liao's house, Wang Xiaohu was escorted by Zhao Gang back to the hotel where he was staying. It was already past 10 o'clock in the evening, but he didn't feel sleepy at all, but was lying on the bed tossing and turning.

Ever since Wang Xiaohu came up with the idea of ​​entering the mainland, he has been thinking for half a year. If he can enter the mainland market and shoot "Shaolin Temple" according to the original historical development, then there is only one end: from the mainland. You can only get 20% of the box office revenue. If you follow the 1.3 million box office rumored outside, then at least the three leftist film companies can get 2600 million yuan. You must know that the renminbi did not depreciate very much at that time, but Wang Xiaohu always felt too aggrieved .

So in 1976, regardless of anyone's advice, he ventured into the mainland and staged a act of kindness to save the people of Tangshan. Of course, he sincerely wanted to avoid this disaster, but he muttered about the complicated domestic political environment at that time. The well-planned action had to be temporarily adjusted, but fortunately, the main task he set was basically completed.

"Shattering Earth" has been stranded so far, but in exchange for "Mythology" to maximize the benefits, and the current relationship with the country is relatively harmonious, Wang Xiaohu is quite satisfied.

He is still reminiscing about the conversation with Liao Gong just now.

After all, Wang Xiaohu still did not tell Mr. Liao the complete plot of "Shaolin Temple". The reason why such a thing happened was due to his strict requirements.

As we all know, "Shaolin Temple" was originally the first Hong Kong movie to be released on the mainland. Although it used mainland actors and invested a lot from the mainland, it was all a matter of a previous life.

Wang Xiaohu was not very satisfied with the plot of "Shaolin Temple", but after thinking about it for a long time, he found that there was nothing to modify the script.

It is undeniable that the plot of "Shaolin Temple" is a bit old-fashioned, and it can even be said that the plot is too simple to die, but it is precisely this simple plot that is the main reason for the success of "Shaolin Temple".

Some people may ask, after Wang Xiaohu's rebirth, almost every movie has been revised, why not revise "Shaolin Temple"?
The answer is simple. "Shaolin Temple" is a classic. A simple plot means that it is accepted by the public. A simple plot means that the shooting is very smooth, and there is no need to waste too many brain cells in modifying or adding or deleting the plot.

There is another main reason. In Wang Xiaohu's current mind, he feels that "Shaolin Temple" really has nothing to modify. If it is more purely superfluous, if it is deleted, it will lose its spirituality. It is better to maintain the original ecology of "Shaolin Temple".

At most, it is a brand new packaging in terms of martial arts action and shooting. After all, it has been four years since Jet Li was abducted to Hong Kong by himself. Boy toss toss it!

At the same time, Wang Xiaohu also intends to take up a vacant position as a director in "Shaolin Temple", and let Yuan Heping, Sammo Hung and others take the helm independently. It is time for the two big brothers to increase their experience in co-productions. After all, they performed well in "Myth". Yes, if they can gain valuable experience in co-productions, they will have more development paths in the future.

In fact, if you observe carefully, you will find that Wang Xiaohu has been cultivating his Seven Little Fu brothers in this way. He first took them to shoot a few movies, and then let them take care of themselves. This is how Jackie Chan and others gradually became normal, and they didn’t make any mistakes in the middle. Although each film can’t be said to be a big hit, it can’t be said to refresh the box office or something, but it can recover several times the investment cost at the box office, which is enough for them to maintain their own company. develop.

This alone is a very miraculous phenomenon in any film company in Hong Kong or even in the world, so now many people are wondering when Wang Xiaohu will make a big fall!
"It is now September, and there are less than three months before the end of the year. Next year, the company will have to shift its focus to Hollywood."

Wang Xiaohu sighed on the bed, and gradually fell asleep after a while.

"You want to shoot a TV series in an old neighborhood in Shanghai?"

In the office of the Ministry of Culture, Minister Huang Zhen looked at Wang Xiaohu who was smiling in front of him, scratching his head on this topic.

"Yes." Wang Xiaohu said, "Our company is preparing for a TV series. In order to reproduce the style of old Shanghai, we plan to film locations in the old neighborhoods of Shanghai. I also hope that Minister Huang can help coordinate it."

"Okay, I'll make a call to Shanghai Film Studio." After thinking for a while, Huang Zhen picked up the phone and contacted Shanghai Film Studio.

Huang Zhen knew that this man in front of him was not easy to offend, so he received a written document from Mr. Liao early this morning, saying that Wang Xiaohu had agreed to film a big production reflecting the Shaolin Temple for China, and asked the Ministry of Culture to cooperate well.

I planned to ask this master to come out to talk about this matter, but I didn't know that just after receiving the notice, this master came uninvited, and the first thing he said was that he wanted to film a TV series in Shanghai.

"Okay, the news has been received over there. I will give you a contact information. You can discuss the specific matters in detail on the phone."

Huang Zhen was also happy with his work. He knew that he didn't know the details of filming, so he simply gave Wang Xiaohu his contact information and asked them to talk directly, so that he would not become a mouthpiece. He can't bear the mistakes in it.

"Thank you."

Wang Xiaohu carefully put away the contact information, and Huang Zhen said, "Xiao Wang, Mr. Liao said today that you want to shoot the subject of Shaolin Temple, and you need a lot of martial arts athletes, right?"

Wang Xiaohu nodded and said, "Yes. These athletes need to be selected from the martial arts teams of various provinces in the country."

The last time Wang Xiaohu watched "Shaolin Temple" was 15 years ago, that is, in 2003 before his rebirth. Although the plot is clearly remembered, except for Yu Hai, Ji Chunhua, Sun Jiankui, and Ding Lan, other actors in it are forgotten. Eighth, twenty or thirty actors are needed to make this movie, and Wang Xiaohu can't remember their detailed names, so he has to check the athletes again.

Even if he wants to hang up a job and be lazy, he has to be serious at the beginning, choose the actors, and shoot a few shots, right?

"Oh, yes, I'll make arrangements as soon as possible." Huang Zhen hurriedly recorded the matter in his notebook. He doesn't have the memory of a young man like Wang Xiaohu. A good memory is not as good as a bad pen. The biggest gain, as long as the matter is recorded well, and then according to the primary and secondary screening to determine who comes first, then the processing efficiency will be high, and the master in front of him will also see that the Ministry of Culture is fully cooperating.

"Is there anything else?" Huang Zhen asked.

"The matter of the share." Wang Xiaohu said bluntly.

"Let's discuss again, we are communicating with the higher authorities again." Huang Zhen said hastily.Although the box office dividend standard was negotiated last time, the ratio was 4:6 that time, and this time the master said it was 5:5. If there is no discussion, Minister Huang dare not draw his own conclusions.

After Minister Huang Zhen quickly wrote it down in the notebook, Wang Xiaohu stood up and patted his buttocks and said: "For the time being, "Shaolin Temple" can be slowed down a bit, after all, domestic audiences are just new to "Myth". For starters, it won’t be too late to release "Shaolin Temple" after the first round of nationwide screenings is over."

Huang Zhen knew that what Wang Xiaohu said was true, so he recorded it immediately. He is also an international director and has a say in box office statistics. Huang Zhen still needs to humbly ask Wang Xiaohu for advice on these matters.

"I'll make arrangements for it." Minister Huang Zhen felt like Wang Xiaohu's subordinate, without the majesty of a country's minister of culture. Although this feeling was strange, he still couldn't find the root cause.

When Wang Xiaohu was about to walk to the door, Huang Zhen patted his forehead suddenly, and said in surprise: "Xiao Wang, wait a minute. Let me show you this." He took out a copy from the drawer, walked Pass it to Wang Xiaohu.

Wang Xiaohu was slightly taken aback after reading the copy, and then said with a smile: "Hehe, then I would like to thank Minister Huang for his kindness!"

This copy was actually produced by the Ministry of Culture in the past two days. The core content is a detailed plan for arranging Mr. Wang Xiaohu, the president of Hong Kong Concord Film Company, to recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors. Among them, he helped repair the Wang Family Ancestral Hall, and there are full-length videos and comprehensive news. Reports and so on, even the arrangement of three days of banquets in Pingling Commune was taken into consideration.

Since the genealogy of Wang Xiaohu's branch cannot be found, and the government is not good at organizing this kind of genealogy search, it has to take this way to make up for it. Of course, these things will not be done by the Ministry of Culture, but secretly. The funds are handed over to the local government to "spontaneously" promote this matter, which shows that the Ministry of Culture has made great efforts in this regard.

"Xiao Wang, you have made so many sacrifices for our country, we should do these things, we should."

Minister Huang Zhen also said with a smile, saying that if Zhao Gang hadn't reported to the superiors in time, and the superiors held a meeting overnight to study and issue orders, Huang Zhen would not have dared to be so extravagant and wasteful.Now the order above is only one sentence: try to satisfy Wang Xiaohu.

How satisfied is this? Minister Huang Zhen really has no idea. Thanks to Zhao Gang who reminded Minister Huang Zhen in one sentence, Zhao Gang said at the time: "Old Wang, he is a bit nostalgic, a bit superstitious, a bit. Anyway, please consult It depends on the local customs and habits.”

Well, the Ministry of Culture has been tossing around for two full days, and made a lot of phone calls. The Ministry of Culture in Jinan was asked to conduct a field investigation in Longsan Village, Pingling Commune. The investigation took a whole morning, and then it was reported immediately. Only then did Wang Xiaohu come into being. This copy in hand.

"Thank you for your hard work. Really, thank you all for worrying about my little things. At noon, I invite everyone to have a massage at BJ's Restaurant."

I don't know why, when Minister Huang heard this, tears welled up in his eyes. It's not easy. The hard work of the past few days was not in vain!
Wang Zhenrong's family in Pingling Commune has been extremely happy these days, because since the relative from Hong Kong came to the house, people from the village now visit this dilapidated house every day. , who borrowed the table, who made the old wine, who contributed two pigs
In short, Wang Zhenrong's house used to be very dilapidated, and few people visited the house, but now even the threshold of the door is almost broken by the villagers.Just when Wang Zhenrong was planning to spare time for maintenance, the commune president came. Seeing Wang Zhenrong tossing about this thing, he became unhappy at the moment and pulled Wang Zhenrong aside.

"Zhenrong, what are you doing with this shit? Go back and build a big red brick house, which is the one that is 1.5 meters away from the previous building. Is six rooms enough?"

Wang Zhenrong grinned and said, "President, my family has no money."

The president said: "Who asked you to pay, our public will help you build it, no money!"

"Really?" Wang Zhenrong blinked in disbelief.

"What's the matter with lying to you? Not only will I build you a new house, but the ancestral hall of the Wang family doesn't seem to exist yet, right? After a meeting, it was decided to build a ancestral hall for you at the south end of the village, just by the road."

The president pinched his waist and said boldly, as if planning their own ancestral hall, and when it came to what material and color to use, he scratched the ground with a tree branch for a long time, and Wang Zhenrong was pleasantly surprised.

"President, what, is my relative in Hong Kong very big?"

Wang Zhenrong copied his hands. He felt that since Wang Xiaohu came, their family had changed as a whole, as if they had transitioned from a feudal society to a communist society advocated by the state a few years ago. a feeling of.

"I don't know about this, anyway, it's not young." The president couldn't figure it out, patted Wang Zhenrong's arm and said, "Well, don't let your wife cook tonight, come to my house for a get-together, and give the child to you." I apologize, but you can continue to be a projectionist later on."

"Don't mind me, I don't understand that thing, let Liu do it, isn't he doing a good job."

"Hey, I said why you can't help it."

Wang Zhenrong refused to show face, and the impatient president scratched his head, "It's alright, alright, come with me, I'll let the family call your wife later."

The president didn't give Wang Zhenrong a chance to react after saying that, and dragged Wang Zhenrong to his home.

At this time, Wang Xiaohu was still giving lectures to Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige, and Tian Zhuangzhuang. The contents of the lectures were about how to create the main theme movie script, and how to control large-scale wars and battle scenes.

It is less than two years before the fifth generation enters the society. Wang Xiaohu believes that after graduation, they will be assigned to work in major film studios. Although Zhang Yimou is now an audit student, he has already broken the rules after finishing the filming of "Myth". Turning positive, the first hurdle they will face in the major film studios in the future will definitely be the filming of the main theme of the third chapter. Wang Xiaohu is giving them a supplementary lesson.
