Chapter 566 Opportunity to Open the Japanese Market

In front of the Great Hall of Shaolin Temple, dozens of people are confronting each other.

On one side were several staff members led by Ma Chuyun of Xiehe Company and two soldiers from the guard regiment.

On one side is a sightseeing group composed of two leaders from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and dozens of people from the Japanese Shaolin Temple Alliance.

A leader of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, wearing glasses, said to Ma Chuyun with a cold face: "What's the matter with you, you treat foreign guests with such a bad attitude, who is your leader, let him come to see me!"

Ma Chuyun had just joined Xiehe Company for less than two years, and was recommended to Wang Xiaohu through Wu Yusen's relationship. He once worked as a producer in TVB for a short time, and then worked as a director assistant in Siyuan Company for two years.

Ma Chuyun is very keen on military, war, adventure and other genres. He often exchanges various firearms with Wu Yusen, but Wu Yusen doesn’t like to play with firearms. When he was filming "First Blood" in the United States, he took Ma Chuyun to help A period of busy work can be regarded as fulfilling a wish of this military fan.

When Woo Yusen returned to Hong Kong, Ma Chuyun was assigned to the "Shaolin Temple" crew for training, and is currently working as a director assistant for Wang Xiaohu.

"Brother Hu said that no one can take pictures after joining the crew!" Ma Chuyun said confidently, "This is a commercial secret!"

What Ma Chuyun said is not false at all. "Shaolin Temple" is currently in the comprehensive stage of trying long shots. All the overhead track layout methods are the result of long-term conception by the photographers of Xiehe Company. It may be easy to say, but to do it. It sounds very complicated, and if it is learned by outsiders, it will be very detrimental to the development of the company.

Just now, Ma Chuyun and several Xiehe employees were called by Zhang Yuan to dismantle the aerial rail car from the mountain gate to the Daxiong Palace. Everyone was very careful when dealing with the place where Zhang Yimou had marked. Reshooting at this place, if there is a slight error, the resulting shots will be incoherent, which cannot be perfected by post-editing.

So Ma Chuyun personally went to the stage to handle these parts. While he was busy, a group of people came in from the mountain gate, and they took pictures from time to time. Ma Chuyun frowned and went forward to explain that "Shaolin Temple" is currently being filmed here, and photography is not allowed in the crew of.

Unexpectedly, people didn't listen to them at all, and took pictures on their own. One person even murmured a few words to the translator, and the leader of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said: "It's just taking pictures, and it's not a big deal."

Ma Chuyun didn't do it anymore, he reasoned a few words, seeing that this group of people still didn't listen, he immediately snatched the cameras of several people who were taking pictures.

The group of foreign guests would definitely not agree, and some of them were about to come up to grab the camera. At this time, two or three soldiers in charge of the crew's security work rushed over after hearing the news and stopped the conflict on the spot.

After asking what had happened, a soldier went to inform Zhao Gang, and the remaining two guarded in front of the Xiehe employees to ensure that they would not be bullied. The soldiers of this group of guards have established a very deep relationship with the Xiehe employees in the past two years. emotion.

Man said that the other party is from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, as long as they dare to touch a hair of the Xiehe employees, this group of talents does not care who they are, they will still do it, and if something goes wrong, Head Zhao will wipe his ass!

When the people from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs saw the intervention of this group of guards, they didn't want to get entangled with these "guardians".

"Then you can't confiscate the camera of the foreign guest, and beat the foreign guest!" The leader of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs became angry when he heard it: "What business secrets are not confidential, are you responsible for offending the foreign guests?"

"Who hit someone!" Ma Chuyun was unhappy when he heard it, and said in broken Mandarin: "It was just a light touch!"

"That's also disrespect to foreign guests. Let me tell you, return the camera quickly and apologize to the foreign guests. Otherwise, today's matter is not over. I will report to the leader later and drive all your crew away!" Another An official from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs pinched his waist and said aggressively.

"Old Chen, don't be so full of words, you don't know, the higher-ups still pay more attention to "Shaolin Temple"." The colleague heard the words and hurriedly reminded him in a low voice.

"Then these people from Hong Kong will be lawless?" Lao Chen stared and said, "If we don't handle the matter well today, how can we report to the higher authorities?"

When these people were in trouble, Wang Xiaohu's voice came from five or six meters away: "You don't need to report, I will talk to Mr. Liao on the phone in person!"

Wang Xiaohu walked over quickly, followed by Zhao Gang, followed by Jet Li, Xiong Xinxin, Ji Chunhua, Yu Hai and others, each of them held a sword, gun, sword and halberd in their hands, very fierce.

As soon as these fierce men appeared on the stage, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and a group of people from the Japanese Shaolin Boxing Federation who accompanied them were taken aback.

"Brother Hu." Ma Chuyun moved his mouth and handed over the cameras in his hand: "They took pictures."

"Yeah." Wang Xiaohu nodded and said, "I probably understand the matter." Then he said to Zhao Gang: "Old Zhao, you can't guarantee the late festival. At the beginning, you swore that no one in the crew would take pictures casually. You said this How to deal with it?"

Zhao Gang complained in his heart, and said bravely, "Follow the rules, the camera will be confiscated, and all the film will be destroyed."

After saying this, Zhao Gang wished he could slap both of his own ears, and said to himself, Old Wang, you are embarrassing me. You clearly know the background of this group of people, and they are international friends specially ordered by Mr. Liao.

After Zhao Gang finished talking about the rules set during the filming of "Shaking Heaven and Earth", he hurriedly stretched his head and whispered in Wang Xiaohu's ear: "Old Wang, I beg you, let's deal with it beforehand, it won't end if it gets too big!"

Wang Xiaohu snorted coldly, and said to Zhao Gang: "Don't blame me for not reminding you, we Hong Kong filmmakers have worked hard for more than ten years to barely break away from the profound influence of Kurosawa's martial arts movies. What is the purpose of conducting comprehensive technical exchanges? Isn’t it to make Hong Kong films and mainland films representative of Asia?”

"Although the Japanese film industry also has its own long-shot shooting secrets, they will not share them with you. These are all the experiences we have summed up over the years. Why do you give them away for free?"

"and also."

"Old Wang, stop talking, I know what I should say!"

Zhao Gang didn't wait for Wang Xiaohu to finish speaking, his hands kept moving, and he quickly took out the film rolls from several cameras, and tore them to expose them all.

"Nani~" "Baa~"

Seeing this, the little devil immediately panicked.The faces of the two leaders of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs were even more livid, as ugly as they could be.

"Captain Zhao, you!"

Zhao Gang pulled his face away and said with a sneer: "If you have any objections, you can call Zhongnanhai. The relevant provisions of the Ministry of Culture and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs have also mentioned ensuring that Mr. Wang Xiaohu will not be infringed on any technical aspects during the filming in the Mainland, and that it will ensure that Mr. Mr. Wang Xiaohu's absolute confidentiality terms during the filming process. Therefore, these things must be destroyed, even if I am no longer in this position, I still have to complete the task assigned by the leader!"

"Old Zhao, I found out about you today!" Wang Xiaohu was overjoyed when he heard the words, patted Zhao Gang's shoulder approvingly and said in a low voice, "It's okay, if you can't get along anymore, come with me to Hong Kong and be my bodyguard or driver. , if you don't want to do the work of protecting people, you can turn around and be a dead man in the movie!"

Zhao Gang grinned dryly, thinking that it's too inferior to be a trickster, and it's better to work as a bodyguard.

The atmosphere became more embarrassing with Zhao Gang's thunderbolt wrist. Wang Xiaohu and his group looked at the dozens of people from the Japanese Shaolin Boxing Federation confidently.

The two officials from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs were panting hard. Obviously, they never thought that Zhao Gang would be so shameless that they would not be able to proceed with their next work. All of these were just a few words from Wang Xiaohu. I began to complain about the excessive favoritism of the above-mentioned leaders towards this Hongkonger.

At this moment, a woman's voice came from the Japanese Shaolin Fist Alliance.

"Fujita-kun?!"

Wang Xiaohu frowned, followed the sound, and saw behind the two foreign ministry officials, there was a woman wearing the costume of the Japanese Shaolin Fist Alliance, and the voice came from her mouth.

Fujita-kun, how long has it been!

Wang Xiaohu expressed considerable dissatisfaction with this title. Eight years ago, when he and Bruce Lee went to Japan for a so-called friendly visit, there were a large number of Japanese boys and girls calling him "Fujita-kun" at the airport.

Wang Xiaohu also strongly protested to the Japanese media at the time. I am a dignified Chinese, not your innermost Fujita Takeshi. If he plays a Japanese in "Jing Fu Men", he is defined as a Japanese. What kind of rules is this? I guess this set The tricks are also learned by Korean stickmen secretly!

Before Wang Xiaohu got angry, he heard the Japanese woman chirping to the translator, and then the translator smiled and said: "This is Ms. Zong Yougui of our Japan Shaolin Boxing Federation. Since the death of his father, Mr. Zong Daochen, the League Your lady is fully responsible for all matters."

"Miss Zong Yougui apologizes for the address just now."

When the translator said this, Miss Zong Yougui bowed and apologized to Wang Xiaohu with a smile.

"Old Wang, what's the situation?" Zhao Gang was taken aback.

Wang Xiaohu curled his lips and said, "I don't understand. This woman is probably my fan in Japan. The Japanese I played in "Jing Fu Men" is called Fujita Takeshi."

"Oh, I remembered, that powerful robot!" Zhao Gang nodded and praised: "To be honest, your acting skills were really young at that time, but the little devil you played was very powerful. I guess even the little devil himself I can’t shoot such a strong effect.”

"It's just that the little devil is always called Fujita Fujita because he is too strong. I am a Chinese through and through!" Wang Xiaohu complained aggrievedly.

"I know, as long as I can understand!" Zhao Gang said with a smile.

While the two of them were muttering, the interpreter over there was not idle either, roughly the same as Wang Xiaohu guessed.

The new head of the Japanese Shaolin Boxing Federation is indeed one of Wang Xiaohu's fans. The female head didn't recognize Wang Xiaohu when she saw Wang Xiaohu, but when she heard Zhao Gang mention "Mr. Take your seat.

As a die-hard Japanese movie fan of Wang Xiaohu, the head of Zong Yougui naturally understood Wang Xiaohu's temper, so she hurriedly conveyed her apology to Wang Xiaohu through a translator, saying that it was a slip of the tongue when she was excited, and asked Mr. Wang Xiaohu to forgive Yunyun.

When Gu Lu apologized, the stalemate and awkward atmosphere suddenly disappeared.

Zhao Gang was so excited that he was dying. He was still thinking about how to report today's events to his superiors. After all, Mr. Liao had already opened a golden mouth, and he had to bite the bullet today to protect Wang Xiaohu's interests, but Wang Xiaohu left. , he has to find ways to smooth out this offending matter, otherwise it will be difficult to get along in the court in the future.

It's all right now, looking at Zong Yougui's posture, it seems that he admires Wang Xiaohu very much. Look at those big watery eyes, aren't there flashes of excitement and starry eyes? To put it bluntly, this woman The head is a nympho!
"Old Wang, it's time to use your beauty trick. Take down this little devil, and the matter between me and Guo Peng and Zhang Yun will be settled!"

Guo Peng and Zhang Yun were the first soldiers of the two security regiments who protected Ma Chuyun and other Xiehe employees. From the perspective of their jobs, both of them were dedicated to their duties. They must not be allowed to expose all the film, otherwise, they will lose the support of the guards in the future.

"Go as far as you can!" Wang Xiaohu raised his eyebrows to see Zhao Gang and said angrily, "To tell the truth, I won't accept her apology just for saying what Fujita said just now."

"Don't! Think I was farting just now!" Zhao Gang quickly closed his mouth, smiling and winking at the two foreign ministry officials who were stunned opposite him.

Those two are also monkey spirits, how can they not understand the reason for borrowing the donkey from the slope, especially the official surnamed Chen just now, when he heard that Wang Xiaohu's background was so awesome and complicated, he regretted it on the spot Intestine, heart said that I don't know how many times I have been lucky!

As a result, the two sides began to work, and the stalemate finally broke down. Seeing that it was time for lunch, the people from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs hurriedly arranged vehicles and reserved banquets. Apologize.

Speaking of this apology, the two officials from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs felt very aggrieved in their hearts, as much as they wanted to be wronged, but they couldn't say it out, so they could only slap their faces and pretend to be fat.

"Ma Chuyun, Guo Peng, Zhang Yun, the three of you also go together." Before getting into the car, Wang Xiaohu called the three parties over.

On Ma Chuyun's side, Wang Xiaohu was the only one who obeyed, while Guo Peng and Zhang Yun first looked at Zhao Gang, and after seeing Zhao Gang nodding, they hurriedly followed into the car.I have been in the security regiment for so many years, and I have encountered such things a few times, but I am not as happy as I am today!

"Mr. Wang Xiaohu, why haven't I seen your movies in Japan in recent years?"

During the meal, the female patriarch Zong Yougui sat beside Wang Xiaohu and asked with the help of an interpreter.

Wang Xiaohu grinned and said, "I don't know the specifics. Since "The Way of the Dragon", our Xiehe films are not allowed to be released in Japan. Maybe the Japanese government has introduced corresponding protection measures?"

(The relationship of translation is omitted, otherwise it will be very troublesome to write.)
Zong Yougui shook his head and said, "Maybe it's not like this. There are still a large number of fans in Japan looking forward to seeing Mr. Wang's movies. You should know that I am the head of your fan club."

Wang Xiaohu just laughed and said nothing. He couldn't put some of the things he did in Japan back then on the table and make it clear. On the one hand, this is not a glorious thing in itself. Once it is exposed to the Japanese media, there will definitely be a large-scale Block yourself, and if you don't make trouble, you will play nonsense like "Wang Xiaohu murdered and set fire in Japan, and should be tried by a Japanese court according to XXX regulations".

On the other hand, he is under protective measures. After all, he is now married and his child will soon be four years old. He does not want his family to be attacked by the Yamaguchi-gumi.

From Zong Yougui's words, Wang Xiaohu knew that the Japanese side's ban on him was only a private behavior of the Yamaguchi-gumi. It is estimated that if anyone shows a movie of the Concorde Company, the members of the Yamaguchi-gumi will go to smash the scene or something like that. It forced no theater in Japan to dare to show the films produced by Concorde.

Seeing that Wang Xiaohu was silent, Zong Yougui suddenly asked, "Mr. Wang, are you interested in cooperating with us?"

"Cooperation? What kind of cooperation?" Wang Xiaohu put down the chopsticks in his hand, looked at Zong Yougui with a frown, and said, "If it's a cooperation between China and Japan in martial arts, I'm afraid Miss Zong Yougui will be disappointed."

Zong Yougui was embarrassed when he heard the words. The whole Japan knew about Wang Xiaohu and Bruce Lee's fight against several black belt masters in the Japanese karate circle.

She shook her head and said: "That's not the case. We are currently conducting friendly exchanges between China and Japan, and our Japanese Shaolin Fist Federation enjoys certain preferential treatment in terms of diplomacy. The cooperation I want to say is: our Fist Federation will act as an agent for Regarding the release of Shaolin Temple in Japan, I don’t know, will Mr. Wang agree?”

"Oh? Are you sure?" Wang Xiaohu said with a chuckle, "You know I'm not very popular in Japan."

"If it is a purely personal friendship, it may cause strong opposition from some people." Zong Yougui said with a smile: "But Mr. Wang is currently representing China, and China and Japan are currently in a good honeymoon period. I believe the Japanese government That should open the door to convenience."

Seeing that Wang Xiaohu was still thinking about this question, Zong Yougui continued, "I also heard that Mr. Wang is also well-known in the international film industry. Don't you want your company's films to be released in Japan?"

Wang Xiaohu frowned and looked at Zong Yougui for a long time, and found that her motives and tone of speech were not suspicious at all, so he said, "Conditions!"

He couldn't believe that this woman who had just been married for a few months would be so kind to help Xiehe Film Company open up the Japanese market!
