Chapter 604 Liang Xiaolong, who has been hidden for many years

Originally, Wang Xiaohu was still excited about being on CCTV for the first time, but he lost interest when he was interviewed at the beginning, because the questions raised by these reporters made him feel very awkward.

For example, a reporter from the People's Liberation Army asked him when he accepted the Japanese provocation, did you think of the country first in your heart, and whether you were inspired by the martyrs with your high patriotic sentiments.
Wang Xiaohu was so sweaty at the time, he said in his heart that I was touched by the woolen martyrs, even if you said that I was Huo Yuanjia, Huang Feihong, Wang Ziping, the master of Chinese martial arts, even if you said that I was not fighting alone, there are N billion people It's more reliable to fight with me, how can you be so thunderous as a human being!

In fact, he really wanted to say shameless, and felt that the national conditions at that time were there, so he didn't continue to slander. With a nonchalant smile on his face, Wang Xiaohu finally returned to the BJ Hotel sweating profusely.

Seeing his posture, Zhao Gang asked with a wry smile, "Does it feel similar to being interrogated?"

Sighing, Wang Xiaohu waved his hands and said, "Forget it, I won't be interviewed by domestic reporters after killing me. It's too tortured. It's no different from watching the premiere in the auditorium."

"Then you have to train a few more serious and high-minded employees to come over, otherwise you will have to deal with such things in person in the future, and you will feel better."

Wang Xiaohu nodded seriously and said: "Old Zhao, you are so right. I really have to train some rigid guys to come here. Hey, just holding meetings, interviews, and listening to reports makes me dizzy. If I can choose , I would rather fight with 500 Japanese black belt masters for five days and five nights."

Hearing Wang Xiaohu's exaggerated statement, Zhao Gang laughed out loud.

In the evening, Liao Gong and Minister Huang hosted a celebration banquet for Wang Xiaohu, thanking Wang Xiaohu for his important contribution to Sino-Japanese cultural exchanges. Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige, and Tian Zhuangzhuang also attended the banquet. They were specially invited by Minister Huang .

When Wang Xiaohu saw that the three students had also arrived, he couldn't help but burst out laughing, and smiled at Minister Huang. He knew the meaning of what Minister Huang did.

Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige, and Tian Zhuangzhuang are in the last year of class at the Film Academy. They are basically in an internship state at this stage, and they don’t have too many cultural lessons. Minister Huang called them here mainly to explain a problem to Wang Xiaohu: the Ministry of Culture will Special care will be given to Mr. Wang's three favorite students, and they will be sent to the best film production company in China to study.Of course, he hopes that Mr. Wang can bring all three of them to Xiehe Company for further studies, so that after a few years, they will become the backbone of Chinese films.

But Wang Xiaohu didn't like this, because what Minister Huang did would affect the artistic careers of the three fifth-generation directors, and even Wang Xiaohu himself taught Zhang Yimou in a peripheral way.

The so-called peripheral method of teaching is to educate only around a film's shooting technique and director's theme, and tell the story from the preparation of a film, the selection of actors, and the rigor of props.

It can be said that he seldom told Zhang Yimou about art and script creation. Even if Zhang Yimou asked about this aspect, Wang Xiaohu would answer it in the simplest and most direct way.

In doing so, on the one hand, Wang Xiaohu has self-knowledge. After all, he is a filmmaker who has become a monk halfway through his career. He is steeped in commercial views from the bottom of his heart, that is, he does not make films that do not make money, and sometimes he will use the mask of promoting Chinese culture and the American dream. Such wolf skins achieve the ultimate goal of winning the box office.

As for the high hats that others have given him, Wang Xiaohu actually wants to say: those are all made incidentally, in order to meet the needs of a certain area, in order to maximize the box office.

In terms of real artistic creation, he is not as good as Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige and others. He is very clear about this, so he is very wise to make use of his strengths and avoid weaknesses. He only tells them a general idea, and let them figure out the rest, so as not to In the future, there will be some farce of "mistaken children".

"Xiao Zhang, Xiao Chen, Xiao Tian, ​​why don't you toast the teacher?" Minister Huang winked quietly, and then the three students stood up to toast Wang Xiaohu.

Naturally, Wang Xiaohu would not gain Minister Huang's face on such an occasion, and drank the wine with a smile on his face, but it was true that he was not very comfortable in his heart.

This feeling became more and more intense as he had in-depth exchanges with domestic high-level officials.

It was already past one o'clock in the morning when we returned to the BJ Hotel. Standing in the room, Wang Xiaohu was full of emotion. He could clearly feel that domestic demands were gradually increasing. For example, Minister Huang asked whether he could The request to add domestic actors in "Mulan".

Wang Xiaohu nodded and agreed after thinking about it for a while. After all, the filming of "Mulan" requires a large number of actors. It is not a problem for domestic actors to play tricks in the film. .

But Minister Huang asked for the role of General, and Wang Xiaohu frowned tightly on the spot.

Because Wang Xiaohu has confirmed that Chow Yun-fat will play the role of General Li Tai, this time, in addition to pushing Brigitte Lin to the international stage, he will also promote Chow Yun-fat to increase Chow Yun-fat's international influence.

Jackie Chan has found his own development path, although he is still in the groping stage, Wang Xiaohu believes that in a few years, Jackie Chan will successfully break into Hollywood.

Zhou Xingchi, Jet Li, and Donnie Yen are still in the growth stage, and they still need a lot of training to mature their action and acting styles, so Wang Xiaohu gave priority to mentioning Chow Yun-fat.

But tonight, Minister Huang actually proposed to let domestic actors be the generals. Wang Xiaohu naturally refused. It's not that he looked down on Chinese actors, even the students from the 78th Film Academy. In terms of power, there is no one decent. To put it bluntly, this group of people is only a little better than extras. Their acting skills are blunt and old-fashioned, even worse than the vases in the Hong Kong film industry.

Let them be the male number one, unless Wang Xiaohu's head was kicked by a donkey, he would agree.

"Mulan" is Wang Xiaohu's highlight next year. The investment is absolutely no less than that of "Myth". Moreover, it took quite a long time to sort out the script and select the actors. How could he agree to such a crucial film because of a Bad actors ruin it, after all, what is invested is money, and what you want to get back is ten times, a hundred times, a thousand times the profit.

Without a certain reputation, considerable acting skills, and no box office appeal, Wang Xiaohu would not take risks. More importantly, apart from Ge You and Jiang Wen, who are well-known internationally, the domestic male actors are still considered box office appeal. , As for the others, it is really difficult for Wang Xiaohu to pick a few, and the growth of this group of actors is too slow! (Can you recommend some potential stocks?)
At that time, Mr. Liao saw Wang Xiaohu's displeasure, so he immediately smoothed things over. The matter was finally exposed, but a seed was planted in Wang Xiaohu's heart.

As long as Wang Xiaohu is happy about some things, we will agree to whatever you say with a smile on his face, but when it comes to fundamental aspects, Wang Xiaohu must stick to his position, and when he should be strong, he should be strong.

It's still the same sentence "My advantage is irreplaceable."

After all, Wang Xiaohu and Dalu are still at the superficial level of mutual utilization.

It is true that every line of business is the number one scholar, and every line of business has its own ups and downs!

Wang Xiaohu directly contacted the filming team of "Huo Yuanjia" on the second day. At present, "Huo Yuanjia" has completed its location shooting in Tianjin and is currently filming at the old "Jingwu Stadium" in Shanghai. exhausted.

"Ahu, why are you here?"

Wang Xiaohu went over and patted him on the shoulder and said, "Come here to see if you are not lazy, hehe, is it the first time you come to the mainland to shoot, do you feel that there are many uncomfortable places?"

Xu Xiaoming said with a bitter smile: "Yeah, it's nothing to be tired from filming, but everyone is not very used to the food in mainland China. During the filming in Tianjin, several leading actors were seriously unaccustomed to the environment, and it took half a month to get used to it." Come down, it's not easy."

"How long will it take to finish filming the location?" Wang Xiaohu asked.

"It will probably take another week." Xu Xiaoming said, "Everyone is exhausted these days, and I am too embarrassed to ask them to work overtime."

Wang Xiaohu nodded and said, "Well, you don't need to pursue the progress of the shooting too deliberately. The important thing is that the quality should be excellent. Why didn't you see that guy Liang Xiaolong?"

As soon as Liang Xiaolong was mentioned, Xu Xiaoming began to complain: "This kid keeps getting me into trouble. He almost got into a fight with the extras hired from the local area yesterday. Hey, he is the most worrying person in the whole crew!"

Wang Xiaohu couldn't laugh or cry when he heard the words, and followed Xu Xiaoming to find Liang Xiaolong who was practicing in the room at the hotel where the crew temporarily stayed.

Good guy, I saw Liang Xiaolong leaning against the corner of the wall, doing handstand push-ups on his head and feet. Wang Xiaohu secretly praised this kind of handstand push-ups. Although this kind of handstand push-ups looks simple, it is very difficult to do. Many people have tried it once. Won't do it a second time.

This move was once called the inverted pyramid by Bruce Lee, which means that under this situation, the strength of his arms can increase explosively. Judging from the current state of Liang Xiaolong's practice, he still needs to rely on the wall to complete it. Let's get started.

"Hey, Long Zai, Ah Hu is here to see you!" Xu Xiaoming said angrily, frowning.

"Ah?" Liang Xiaolong, who was standing on his head, yelled when he heard the words, and when he raised his head vigorously and saw that it was Wang Xiaohu, he fell to the floor with a plop.
