new kung fu king

Chapter 97
If you are not in charge of the family, you don't know the price of firewood, rice, oil and salt. This sentence is very appropriate for Wang Xiaohu at this time.

Originally, Wang Xiaohu proposed that the production cost of "The Righteous Man" should be kept at least [-] Hong Kong dollars. As a fashion show in the early Republic of China, there were not a few costumes and props, and more than a dozen suits were needed in the film, not to mention the surgical equipment and other small props. , but when he saw the props sent by Jiahe, he couldn't help getting angry.

"Brother Xin, are these the props and costumes Boss Zou asked you to send over?" Wang Xiaohu picked up a very rough suit and said to Wang Jiaxin, the prop master of Jiahe: "If I guess correctly, these rags are from They came from street stalls in Temple Street, go back and tell Boss Zou that I don’t want these things, and ask him to find me some mid-range goods, this is filming, not begging for food.”

Wang Jiaxin is considered an old employee of Golden Harvest. When he was at Shaw Brothers, he followed Zou Wenhuai to fight the world. Now that Wang Xiaohu, a young man, returned the product so rudely, he felt a little embarrassed. He coughed twice and said, "Ah Hu, Anyway, the film you made is a small production, just make do with it, the company is a little short of funds now, so..."

"So you just sent me these street stalls, right?" Wang Xiaohu threw his suit on the car and said, "I was wondering, "Jing Fu Men" had a box office of 600 million in the first round. Part of the income, not to mention the box office in Southeast Asia and RB, besides, I only need some mid-range products, isn’t it too much to ask for?”

"It's not too much to ask." Wang Jiaxin said awkwardly: "It's just... Ahu, there are difficulties in our business. That's what Boss Zou ordered, and I can't help it. So, Ahu, don't embarrass me. gone."

"Brother Xin, it's you who are embarrassing me!" Wang Xiaohu said in a displeased tone, "Forget it, throw these goods here first, and I will talk to Boss Zou personally."

Wang Jiaxin was busy arranging for people to unload the goods, and before leaving, she still didn't forget to throw a cigarette to Wang Xiaohu.

"Damn, this Zou Wenhuai is really uneasy and kind." Wang Xiaohu muttered while pinching the cigarette, "I should have stopped Brother Xiaolong from cooperating with Jiahe if I knew it earlier. What's happening now, hey, I'm too passive."

In fact, Wang Xiaohu knew very well that it was basically the best choice to cooperate with Golden Harvest, because Bruce Lee's Xiehe Company was just empty shelf, except for himself, himself and his Seven Little Fortunes, there was nothing else.As for Golden Harvest, it provides props, costumes, shooting equipment, etc., and also arranges post-editing processing and distribution in theaters, occupying 30% of the shares.

It's just that Zou Wenhuai's behavior, which seemed to be begging for food, made Wang Xiaohu somewhat uncomfortable.After thinking about it again and again, he still called Zou Wenhuai to protest, but Zou Wenhuai sighed after receiving the call.

"Little Tiger, we at Golden Harvest have been busy making several films recently. Among them, "Way of the Dragon" has to go to Rome for location shooting, which takes up about 60% of the company's budget. Luo Wei also has to go to Taiwan to shoot "Cold-faced Tiger" , strive to compete with Shaw Brothers in the summer, this, so the funds for your film"

Wang Xiaohu hung up the phone immediately without waiting for him to finish speaking. Zou Wenhuai, who is so stupid, actually used this kind of reason to excuse himself.Damn, we must find a way to get out of this situation as soon as possible, and we must not let Zou Wenhuai continue to squeeze himself. You must know that if he does not jump out of Jiahe's circle, it will be difficult for him to realize his dream in the future.

If Bruce Lee hadn't stayed in Golden Harvest with nostalgia, Wang Xiaohu really wanted to pull him out to do it alone, but now that the deal has been done, it would be superfluous to say anything by himself.

There is also the theater chain. When the theater chain is mentioned, Wang Xiaohu feels a little frustrated. Everyone knows that the theater chain is a good thing. The entire film distribution market, otherwise, even if your film production company is great, it will be empty talk if there are no theaters to show your film.

The road has to be taken step by step, and the foundation has to be laid little by little. At least before July 73, 7, he can't be too rigid with Zou Wenhuai, but this doesn't mean that Wang Xiaohu doesn't have his own ideas. What he desires most now is Set up a team as soon as possible, but looking at the people around me, apart from being able to be dragon and tiger martial arts masters and martial arts instructors, other things such as scene records, props, lighting, photography, and editing are really out of stock. You also need to get some reliable ones.

"It's not easy being a director! Being a father and a mother at the same time!" Wang Xiaohu sighed heavily and expressed emotion.

For the next two days, Wang Xiaohu stayed in the abandoned factory. Bruce Lee, Lawrence, Rob Baker, Huang Renzhi and other main actors of "The Way of the Dragon" were also nested here. Wang Xiaohu rehearsed their movements according to the scenes of the script. .

The martial arts movements have been perfectly designed, and each participant has a share. However, the rehearsal effect made Bruce Lee very dissatisfied, so Bruce Lee had to bring them to this abandoned factory, and Wang Xiaohu personally checked it. After all, "Fist of Fury" is so smooth From the filming, this abandoned factory seems to be the actor training base of Xiehe Company.

"Stop! Handsome Huang, how many times have I told you, please, next time you start the low whip kick, you should be faster. Don't put on any POSS, are you still worried that Brother Xiaolong will be kicked down by you? Just kidding, I designed This action is to express the principle of Brother Xiaolong's Jeet Kune Do volley, the last serve first, do you understand the master model? Forget it, you don't understand Chinese, I'll demonstrate it myself!"

The handsome Huang that Wang Xiaohu mentioned is Huang Renzhi, who played the role of a karate master in "The Way of the Dragon", and he played a first-tier aikido master in "Game of Death".

The part of the training that was stopped just now is because Huang Renzhi always puts on some so-called handsome little moves before kicking out, which makes Wang Xiaohu very upset.

Although Huang Renzhi couldn't understand Cantonese, he could guess the meaning from Wang Xiaohu's expression and movements, and his face was a little annoyed.When he couldn't help but want to say something, he was stopped by Rob Baker.

"Huang, if you think you are more powerful than Norris, I won't stop you from going up."

"You mean he's better than Luo Lishi?" Huang Renzhi asked puzzled.

Rob Baker shrugged and said, "Well, you'd better ask Norris yourself. I've only heard from hearsay. They said that Norris was dissatisfied with the script the first day he came."

"Uh, if Luo Lishi doesn't have any comments, I'll forget it. I was severely punished by Luo Lishi the day before yesterday." Huang Renzhi was immediately discouraged after hearing this.
