new kung fu king

Chapter 623 Tiger Vision United Beauty
On the surface, Wang Xiaohu's business has been greatly hindered, and the crew of "Mulan" is also unable to enter the mainland for filming, and is in a stage of complete shutdown.

In fact, Wang Xiaohu took this opportunity to lay a good foundation for the company's future development. It has to be said that Wang Xiaohu's various emotional investments in mainland China over the years have begun to play a role.

First of all, on Zhao Gang’s side, Lao Zhao truthfully reported what happened in Hong Kong in the past few days to the higher-ups, and the higher-ups agreed with Wang Xiaohu’s timely response, which shows that Wang Xiaohu is still very prestigious and convincing in the Hong Kong film industry , powerful.

The second is the Ministry of Culture. Minister Huang submitted the interim management measures for co-productions when filming "Myth" back then. After a few days of discussion, they were directly approved. In addition to maintaining the original interim measures, they also added the benefits of co-productions. The method of determining standards such as remuneration, and the content and lens of the filmed films must not slander or frame the mainland.

At the end, it is also stated that other Hong Kong film companies except Xiehe only have 25% of the box office share.

Liao Gong also played a role at the critical moment, reporting on all aspects of Shaolin's current development, and submitting the current global attention index to China.

All data show that Wang Xiaohu has played a very important role in promoting Chinese culture, especially the movie "Shaolin Temple". Not to mention the huge sensation caused in neighboring Japan, the release in the whole of the United States alone has brought a considerable amount of attention to China. tourist trips.

In particular, Wang Xiaohu injected a large amount of funds to further improve the repair work of the Shaolin Temple, and organized the Shaolin culture in an orderly manner in just a few months. Foreign friends who came here especially gave their thumbs up.

These all show that movies play an irreplaceable and important role in promoting Chinese culture that cannot be ignored.

In the 80s when Chinese films were currently weak, Wang Xiaohu, as a Hong Kong native, spared no effort to promote Chinese culture. Where can I find such a "living woman"?
Therefore, the Ministry of Culture took over the whole process and turned it into a trivial matter. In addition, Liu Jialiang came to the mainland to apologize publicly, and the Ministry of Culture acted as a peacemaker. Rebooting is not so easy anymore.

"What Minister Huang means is that this matter depends on your attitude. If you let go, you can let Liu Jialiang go and let "North and South Shaolin" continue to start." Zhao Gang held a Zhonghua cigarette in his mouth. Tell Wang Xiaohu in the study.

"Hey, the ball came to me again." Wang Xiaohu sighed while resting his chin.

"I have no objection to this matter, as long as Jet Li, Yu Hai, and Ji Chunhua calm down." Wang Xiaohu knocked on the document on the desktop and said, "I will do my best to deal with this matter now."

Zhao Gang went over to take a look, and suddenly felt dizzy. The documents on the desktop were all in English, and he couldn't understand them anyway. "What's written on it?"

Wang Xiaohu chuckled and said, "Business secrets, do you want to hear them?"

Zhao Gang hurriedly took a step back, shook his hand and said, "Forget it, I don't want to be regarded as a commercial spy, I'm going out to smoke a cigarette."

Zhao Gang clearly separates public and private matters. Whenever it involves confidential matters within Wang Xiaohu's company, he will choose to avoid them. Wang Xiaohu appreciates this.

"Wait, don't rush away yet." Wang Xiaohu called Zhao Gang to stop, and pondered: "Is it very cold in the NMG area now?"

"It's not only cold, it's already snowing, and it's mid-November now!" said Zhao Gang.

"Oh, then our "Mulan" crew can't go there to shoot the scene, we have to wait until next spring." Wang Xiaohu smiled wryly and shook his head: "The matter of Liu Jialiang has delayed the filming opportunity for half a month!"

"Who says it's not." Zhao Gang also nodded and said, "Then I will report to the higher-ups."

"Ah."

Since it is snowing in Inner Mongolia, the temperature in the entire northern region must be low. In order to protect the crew, Wang Xiaohu can only decide to stop "Mulan" temporarily, and wait for the weather to warm up next year to go there to shoot the scene and complete the final shooting. plan.

As for the moment, he decided to take a good rest, and by the way, deal with the documents sent by Winterdur this time.

It is not an exaggeration to say that this English-language document is a commercial secret. It shows the development of the former Hollywood giant "United Artists" in the past six months.

The reason why we say that United Artists was once a giant is because at this moment United Artists has completely collapsed. "Heaven's Gate" is indeed a disaster movie, because the continuous increase in costs during the filming period caused the company's capital turnover to be inconvenient. The box office performance has encountered an unprecedented Waterloo, which has brought United Artists to the point of no return.

At the beginning of the year, United Artists made a slight improvement with "Raging Bull", but the income of several million is still a drop in the bucket when faced with a big hole of tens of millions, so now United Artists is looking for new buyers.

According to the information provided by Winterdur, at present, several major Hollywood film companies do not want to touch the mess of United Artists. Even MGM, which is rich and powerful, is only showing a little interest now, but the price offered is quite low. Two hundred million dollars.

"For [-] million US dollars, he wants to buy a veteran giant like Lianmei. Isn't the gambling king a little too stingy?" Wang Xiaohu couldn't help crying and laughing when he saw this.

Thinking of Kerkorian's MGM company, Wang Xiaohu couldn't help but smile bitterly for a while, saying that "007: Casino Royale", which started filming at the beginning of this year, has not yet finished filming!
It is true that the script was provided by Wang Xiaohu, but that fellow Kerkorian made random arrangements, which resulted in frequent malfunctions during the filming process. In Wang Xiaohu's view, since Mr. Gambling Wang doesn't know how to make movies, it is best to entrust the film to Director, and then wait for the filming to be completed, just count the money at home, but the gambling king feels that since he is going to shoot a gambling film, he is at least a big expert, um, the tragedy of an expert, isn’t it?

Other film companies don't want to wipe the ass for United Artists, but Wang Xiaohu has this idea. After all, Concorde's current strength in Hollywood is still a little weak. If they take the opportunity to acquire and expand United Artists, Concorde will replace United Artists as the new film company. A generation of Hollywood's eight giants.

"Old Wen, help me test the bottom line of Lianmei. That's right, that's what I mean. I want to buy Lianmei. Hahaha, it seems that we want to go together. Thank you for the valuable information you provided in time. Okay. ,Good night."

Wang Xiaohu hung up the phone happily, snapped his fingers, and came out of the study happily. With Old Wen, the Best Know-How, to deal with the acquisition of United Artists, Wang Xiaohu could relax a lot. After all, he is not very proficient in business. As for Old Wen It's his business to worry about it.

"Mulan" is shut down, "The Condor Shooting" is in the comprehensive preparation stage, Xiehe Company seems to be relaxed for a while, and Wang Xiaohu also has rare time to play with his son, but Wang Jiaen is almost five years old, not like when he was a child Fun, naughty and clever.

"Son, let's go out for a run with Dad." Wang Xiaohu said while holding his son's little hand.

Wang Jiaen shook his head and said, "Running is not good, I'm too tired. Let's go to the amusement park. You never went with me since I was a child."

Wang Xiaohu was stunned, what his son said was right, since the little guy was born, his work has become more and more busy, and he will not meet with his son for more than three hours a day, and as long as he finds time, he will bring his son to play Chun is just doing training, and now the little guy is complaining.

"Okay, let's go to the amusement park."

Once Wang Xiaohu, who is used to being busy, stops, he always feels a little uncomfortable. Apart from regular practice every day, he just plays with his son. After five days of rest, the two of them went to the amusement park for a walk twice.

On the sixth day, Winterdur called.

"Boss, good news, I got the price with Victor, the president of United Artists." Winterdur whistled excitedly and said, "Their minimum limit is [-] million US dollars, and it can't be lowered."

"[-] million US dollars?" Wang Xiaohu said with a chuckle, "What does it include?"

"All, United Artists' office building, 300 employees, and their rich inventory of copyrights, of course, their foreign debts, of which the foreign debt is close to 4000 million U.S. dollars. "Heaven's Gate" is worthy of United Artists. The disaster has left them with $4000 million in debt."

"It sounds pretty good~" Wang Xiaohu nodded, "Can you keep it down?"

"Let me try again. Anyway, apart from us, no other company seems to be interested in them." Winterdur said on the phone.

"Old Wen, after this matter is settled, you will get a vacation of up to two months. I invite you to travel in China, how about it?"

"Haha, why not! I like China very much now, but I don't know if Shaolin Temple accepts older monks like me."

"This may be a bit difficult!" Wang Xiaohu shattered Winterdur's dream of becoming a monk: "If you go to Shaolin to become a monk, who will manage the company for me, so if you really want to learn Shaolin Kungfu, I will consider giving it to you." You are a lay disciple."

"Really?" Wen Tedu suddenly became interested.

"Of course it's true." Wang Xiaohu didn't lie. How can he say that he is also the current major shareholder of Shaolin Temple, so he still has the right to arrange a lay disciple at random. In this way, Lao Wen may become the first American lay disciple of Shaolin Temple. Well, what an interesting thing.

"Boss, is it true that if you become a Shaolin disciple, you will not be able to eat steak?"

"." Wang Xiaohu was speechless for a moment. Unexpectedly, Lao Wen was also a big fan of "Shaolin Temple"!
