Everyone in Hong Kong knows that the real director of "Jing Wumen" and "Ip Man" is Wang Xiaohu, and even Bruce Lee has admitted on some occasions that his classic masterpiece "Jing Wumen" was almost directed by Wang Xiaohu. [No pop-up novel network]

It is said that if the mainland wants to borrow the film, it should first find Zou Wenhuai or Wang Xiaohu, not Run Run Shaw. Wang Xiaohu also felt very strange when he saw this secret in his previous life, but now he knows through Run Run Shaw's oral account that there are several turns in the middle: the mainland found the director of the Hong Kong branch of Xinhua News Agency, Liang, and the president found Benaki, a senior barrister who has friendly relations with China, but Benaki only has Run Run Shaw in the film industry, and he can only find Run Run Shaw, so it twists and turns down, and finally implements it to Wang Xiaohu, the real director.

When Run Run Shaw heard Wang Xiaohu agree, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, took the tea and drank it, and said: "It should be no problem to find Benaki for such a matter as a lawsuit, after all, he owes us a favor now." It's just that I'm still a little worried about watching films on the mainland, what if they value your directing talent and ask you to go to the mainland to shoot a model film? You also know that the mainland is relatively turbulent now, and if you are not careful, I am afraid that it will be a catastrophe. ”

"Oops! Uncle Six, don't scare me, the Concord Company is not perfect yet, and I still have a lot of movies that I haven't made. Wang Xiaohu pretended to be afraid, and said pitifully: "Sixth uncle, I won't do this, you still have to discuss with Zou Wenhuai, I don't want to move my head!" ”

Wang Xiaohu's rapid change was much more than Shaw expected, and he glared and said, "Huh? How did you kid go back on your word! ”

"Who made Xiaohu young and inexperienced, after the sixth uncle's analysis just now, I knew that I fell for the sixth uncle." Wang Xiaohu shook his head like a rattle: "No, I'm not married yet, I haven't been addicted to being a director yet, Uncle Six, you better find someone else!" ”

Such childish words made Run Run Shaw cry and laugh, looked at him and sighed and said, "What do you say to agree to help?" ”

"Uncle Six, if this kind of thing is not good, it will kill someone, your old man is over half a hundred years old, so he naturally doesn't care, a yellow flower guy like me still has a lot of youth that has not been squandered, your old man also said, I am the future star of Hong Kong films, but the star has to live to be useful."

Wang Xiaohu's eyes were dripping, and that kind of helplessness and sadness made Run Run Shaw retreat again, he waved his hand and said: "Okay, okay, you kid hurry up and open the conditions!" ”

"Hehe, this is what you said from Uncle Six, I didn't ask you!" Originally, Wang Xiaohu wanted to happily agree, who knew that Run Run Shaw babbled a bunch of things like that again, how could he give up this opportunity to slaughter Shao Tycoon if he refused to suffer, so he staged the scene just now, maybe with the improvement of his acting skills, this performance of pretending to be pitiful and greedy for life and afraid of death is too real, maybe Shao Tycoon is really anxious about this matter, in short, his goal has been achieved.

Wang Xiaohu's eyebrows raised and said: "Sixth uncle, you see that I have to take the risk for your old man, you can lower the score of the theater chain, the box office in the first week is eighty-two points, and the second week is seventy-three."

Run Run Shaw's eyes looked at Wang Xiaohu a little strangely, and there was a little bit of inexplicable taste, and when Wang Xiaohu exposed all the fox tails, he knew that this kid had taken the opportunity to make a small calculation of box office sharing. "Okay, boy, you play beautifully with this hand, tell you, no way!"

"It's okay to open a window without a door!"

"Don't open the windows either!" Run Run Shaw puffed up and looked away: "The foundation of Shaw Brothers is very large, and I need to feed hundreds of people!" ”

"Aren't there thousands of people behind my ass?" Wang Xiaohu's mind was decided, if he didn't take out some benefits from Shao Daheng's mouth today, and resolutely refused to agree to borrow the film, anyway, he would not be able to go down to Zou Wenhuai to borrow a copy of "Jingwumen".

The whole atmosphere in the private room was a little weird, Run Run Shaw suddenly raised his head and looked at Wang Xiaohu's eyes, and was silent for a long time before he pointed at Wang Xiaohu's face and scolded with a smile: "I now begin to understand why you can mix well, you kid is a liar!" Anyone who shows a little wealth on their body will be targeted by you! ”

"Uh, so Uncle Six, did you agree?" Wang Xiaohu quickly stood up, picked up the teapot and poured a bowl of tea for Run Run Shaw, and said with a smile: "Thank you Sixth Uncle for this, I will go back to the contract and let Shaonan send it over, please sign it and stamp it." ”

"You kid is the one who doesn't see rabbits and doesn't scatter eagles!" Run Run Shaw grabbed the tea and poured it down, and said angrily: "Let your people bring the film and send it over, and you will find any excuse to blackmail me after I sign it." ”

"Look at what you said Sixth Uncle, am I such a scoundrel?" Wang Xiaohu sneered, anyway, the benefits have been reaped, and the change in box office share means that he has more profits to take, as for being said by Run Run Shaw a few scoundrels, what is it? It is estimated that many people in the outside world want this name and can't ask for it!

Shaw glared back with a knowingly inquiring look, took a few sips of tea, and then sighed and walked away. When Wang Xiaohu was left alone in the private room, he suddenly lay on the chair and laughed, which was the very exaggerated smile of the star master in his previous life, which made the cheongsam beauty outside the door shudder when she heard it, and looked at the door in surprise, as if she was wondering what ridiculous things had happened in the private room.

Just when the cheongsam beauty hesitated whether to go in to see what was going on, Wang Xiaohu pushed the door out, looked at the cheongsam beauty carefully, and then made a mesmerizing smile, whistled and swayed away, the cheongsam beauty blinked, and said in her heart What happened to this big star

After Wang Xiaohu returned to the company, the first thing he arranged was to ask Li Shaonan to buy all the newspapers of the Hong Kong branch of the Xinhua News Agency for nearly half a year. He wanted to re-establish the truth of the rumor through the information in the newspaper. Li Shaonan was busy for most of the day, and finally at dusk, with the help of several employees, he carried a large pile of newspapers to him.

"Well, let's put it all here, there's nothing to do, you get off work first." Wang Xiaohu stood up and untied a bundle of newspapers and said.

"What about you, Master?" Li Shaonan said: "Don't you go back with us? ”

"No, I still have something to work overtime." After Wang Xiaohu finished speaking, he ignored Li Shaonan, picked up the bundle of newspapers, sat on the boss's chair, and read them line by line.

Most of the newspapers of the Hong Kong branch of the Xinhua News Agency introduce the daily events in Hong Kong, and most of the information is a true record, but in fact, the really secret things will not be reported to the mainland through newspapers, so it is a little difficult to consult, Wang Xiaohu took nearly two hours to read a bundle, but did not find the slightest valuable news from it.

"Damn, it's weird!" Wang Xiaohu did not give up and unpacked a bundle again, this time he had already begun to collect information by looking at ten lines or jumping to choose, and the time period was also locked after July, and after half an hour, he finally found what he was looking for.

"Damn, I just said that the mainland would not come to Hong Kong to borrow films two years in advance for no reason, it turned out that it was really no different from what I guessed!" Wang Xiaohu was holding a newspaper dated July 19, 1972, and he was very excited about it in an inconspicuous section of the newspaper.

The content basically means that Hong Kong has had two very good films in the past six months, namely "Jingwumen" and "Ip Man", both of which promote national integrity and inspire the patriotic feelings of the Chinese people.

is such a seemingly normal short comment, it won't feel like anything in the eyes of others, but it made Wang Xiaohu watch it for a long time, and his mouth couldn't close. "Yes, yes! It is estimated that the great man will have the idea of watching the film after reading this short review. ”

Yes, what you want to see through these two films is not Guangdong at all, but the north of Guangdong-the capital Yanjing, if you talk about the details, it is the great man in Zhongnanhai. This is the memory that Wang Xiaohu turned out in the depths of his mind after hearing Run Run Shaw's words.

This is not a secret, probably at the premiere celebration of the CCTV drama "The Legend of Bruce Lee", the deputy minister of culture in the 70s told a little-known story about Xiaolong: he once praised Bruce Lee: "Good kung fu, good fight!" And watched "Jingwumen" three times, the great man he came into contact with the deputy minister had never tried to watch a movie three times, and he personally said to the deputy minister: "Bruce Lee is a hero." "I even cried when I watched it for the first time.

At that time, everything was carried out in secret and was not reported, because the vice minister personally reported this matter in the name of the Ministry of Culture, and asked the central government for instructions to invite Run Run Shaw to return to the mainland, and the central government also quickly approved it because the great man had seen several of Bruce Lee's films, which was quickly approved, which was in the spring of 1976.

Wang Xiaohu also clearly remembered what the vice minister said in the interview: "Bruce Lee's film became Shaw's first step to understand the mainland and enter the mainland." It was precisely with such an opportunity that Hong Kong films were able to slowly infiltrate into China, and there was later "Shaolin Temple"

"Hehe, fortunately, I know this secret, poor Uncle Shao still thinks there is a trap here, frightened, tsk, no, I have to think of a way to let the great man know that I Wang Xiaohu is, I can't let this great thing be monopolized by Uncle Shao!" After Wang Xiaohu finished thinking about it, the corners of his mouth curled, excited that he had won two happy events in a row today, and he was so excited that he even wanted to yell for a few minutes to vent
