Wang Xiaohu was in a good mood after returning to Hong Kong, and in just 20 days, he swept 35 million US dollars in Hollywood. In addition to the 5 million yuan that Lucas set up "Industrial Light & Magic", he also has 30 million on hand, which is enough money for him to realize many plans in Hong Kong. [Full text reading]

And less than half a day after Wang Xiaohu returned to Hong Kong, he received a call from Warner President Ted Eisley, in which Ted Eisley was very enthusiastic: "Tiger, I originally thought you would stay in Los Angeles longer, but I didn't expect that by the time I left to visit you, you would have returned to Hong Kong." ”

This is a bit insincere, what do you mean that I will leave when you want to leave to visit, you are clearly insincere, no, not insincere, this is called no face to find me! Wang Xiaohu thought angrily, he still remembered the classic trick of Warner crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, and since then he has not had much good impression of Warner Bros., but fortunately, Winterdur and the twelve "disciples" are still good to him, and they helped him in the most difficult time.

Now Ted Eisley called in person, instead of casually looking for someone to negotiate with him as before, he must have some ideas, in fact, if it wasn't for Ted Eisley calling, he might not be in the mood to answer, how to say that we are now also the holder of the Silver Flying Eagle Medal of the Directors Guild, to put it mildly, don't look at our small scale now, but our family is still on an equal footing with you Warner President.

"Ah, I'm so flattered that Mr. Ted Eisley can call in person, I don't know what's the matter with you?" Wang Xiaohu said on the phone with a smile.

"That's right, Mr. Tiger, I think we had a little misunderstanding before, for the sake of both Bruce's friends, shall we find a time to sit down and talk?" How could Ted Eisley not hear the sarcasm in Wang Xiaohu's words, and hurriedly reminisced about the old relationship, in his impression, almost most Oriental people are nostalgic.

How do you know that Wang Xiaohu showed a lack of interest, and rejected him with a bad reason of "I'm busy": "Oh, I'm sorry, you know I'm busy in Hong Kong, I have a two-step film in hand that is in the final stage, I may not have time to talk to you, let's make it clear on the phone if you have anything." ”

"Hell! You think you're Bruce. Lee! Ted Eisley was angry on the phone, but he had no choice, now everyone in Hollywood knows that Wang Xiaohu has won the Silver Eagle Medal from the Directors Guild, which means that he has become a low-ranking Hollywood first-line director with only one "Rocky", which means that Wang Xiaohu is now hot, and a large number of producers will win him over.

Ted Eisley doesn't want this cash cow to get too close to 20th Century Fox, he came to Wang Xiaohu with a low profile, but he touched his nose with a gray nose that was neither soft nor hard, Ted Eisley's mood was very complicated, this was the first director to refuse him, and he was also an Oriental!

"Okay, we'll talk on the phone." It took Ted Eisley a long time to calm down his anger and said straight to the point: "When Bruce was still alive, I heard him say that you Concord made a very classic kung fu movie, and he said that this is his most satisfying work, so, so I want to represent the broadcast rights of this film in Hollywood, of course, the box office share is still according to our old rules before, I don't know how you feel?" ”

Wang Xiaohu immediately laughed when he heard this, and Ted Eisley finally revealed the fox's tail after a long time.

How does it feel? If Ted Eisley was in front of Wang Xiaohu, he couldn't help but point to Ted Eisley's nose and jump to his feet and scold: "Lao Tzu feels very unhappy, divide it into your sister, all see God!" ”

But Wang Xiaohu's cultivation has improved a lot now, he first pretended to be silent for a moment, and then the fine silk ink for a long time, until Ted Eisley on the other side of the ocean was anxious, just when Ted Eisley was about to bear the silence and chose to run away, this guy said unhurriedly: "Mr. Ted Eisley, I feel it"

"Do you feel like there's a problem with box office sharing? It doesn't matter, we can discuss it again, we at Warner will definitely use the most elite publicity team to run Bruce's legacy! "Ted Easley is still Wang Xiaohu, who is not satisfied with the box office share.

"No, no, you may be mistaken." Wang Xiaohu immediately said: "I feel very bad like this! ”

"Why?"

"After all, it's better to ask for others than for yourself these days, I want to be bitter with a sample of "Rocky" in my arms" Wang Xiaohu said sentence by sentence, and in the end he said very seriously and seriously: "Because I want to release this film myself, I don't want to borrow the hands of others!" ”

“**！” Ted Eisley knew that he had been tricked after hearing it, and angrily smashed the microphone on the table, and the microphone immediately fell to pieces, but Ted Eisley didn't stop, picked up the phone and smashed it again, and said: "Die!" Who do you think you are, you're just an Oriental kid who has just established himself in Hollywood, and you're so naïve that you want to release it alone, I'm here to see who will cooperate with you except for the hundreds of theaters on 20th Century Fox! ”

Wang Xiaohu listened to the busy sound on the phone, and knew that Ted Eisley over there must be angry smoke, which was exactly what he wanted to see, and whistled to call Winterdur in Los Angeles to ask about the acquisition of the theater by Lao Wen.

Winterdur now admires this young boss very much, not to mention anything else, just one "Rocky" swept the North American box office, which is enough to show that his decision was very wise at the beginning, Wang Xiaohu is indeed a potential stock as he thought, a dark horse in the East! He has now become the head of Concorde Pictures' division in Hollywood, and he does things like the cinema acquisition.

Winterdur showed unprecedented enthusiasm for this, haunting small and medium-sized cinemas on the verge of bankruptcy and operating difficulties and rushing to get rid of them, and he went home late at night every day, and he was especially energetic. "The boss has good news for you, our Concord Company now has 5 medium-sized theaters and 13 small theaters, but most of them are concentrated in literary and artistic films and ** films, and I need to spend a lot of time and money to renovate."

"Ok, how much money does it cost to find me directly! I'll get you there soon. Although Winterdur worked very hard, Wang Xiaohu did not throw him millions of tosses like he trusted Lucas, after all, some money can be big, and some money must be controlled.

"Then I will send you the photocopied purchase contract and the contact information of the person in charge of the theater." Winterdur said very responsibly.

The acquisition contract was impartially approved by the lawyer, and the contact information of the person in charge of the theater was reviewed by Wang Xiaohu again, and Wang Xiaohu appreciated Winterdur's conscientiousness and responsibility: "Lao Wen, it doesn't matter if you work hard, but you should pay attention to your health, I don't want you to be as tired as last time to strike, so that the development of our Concord will be seriously hindered." ”

"Thank you boss for your concern."

Before closing the line, Wang Xiaohu remembered another thing, "By the way, did Xie Dongshen and Li Qingsheng report to Lucas?" When he returned to Hong Kong, he had specifically instructed Xie Dongshen to contact Lucas as soon as possible, after all, it is really rare to find a talent like Xie Dongshen who likes to create inventions, so he let him take the money in the Los Angeles branch, or send it directly to Lucas for work, and now that the "Industrial Light and Magic" is in the initial stage of development, it will definitely be beneficial for the old Xie master and apprentice to learn some new things.

"Yes, they have made contact," said Winterdur in a tone of certainty, the matter was fully completed by his hands, and he certainly knew how far things were going.

"Very good, I will send a few more staff members over in a few days, and I will have to trouble you then." Since he is the founder of "Industrial Light and Magic", it is necessary to train a few backbones for his company, and here in Hong Kong, he has taken a fancy to Wang Jiaxin, a veteran, who has let Wang be obscure and diligent for the company for more than a year.

Wang Jiaxin's talent for set design, innovative props, blasting, machinery, etc., is deeply appreciated by Wang Xiaohu, but Wang's current development ideas are somewhat limited, and Lao Wo is not a way in a small place like Hong Kong after all, so Wang Xiaohu came up with the idea of letting him go to "Industrial Light and Magic" to exercise.

As for who will take over the work in Hong Kong after Wang Jiaxin leaves, there is no doubt that Zhang Yuan is the best candidate. These things were all considered by Wang Xiaohu before returning to Hong Kong.

Wang Xiaohu was thinking about how to persuade Lao Wang to "study" in Hollywood when he heard a knock on the office door. "Come in. Hey? Why are you Wang, I'm looking for you. ”

"Huh? Brother Tiger, are you looking for me? Wang Jiaxin's face changed, his heart was broken, Brother Hu knew about it, and immediately lowered his head a little uneasily and didn't dare to look at Wang Xiaohu.

Wang Xiaohu said with a smile: "Old Wang, you have been here for more than a year, right?" ”

"Yes, yes!" Wang Jiaxin stammered, praying in his heart that all the immortals in the world would rise up.

Wang Xiaohu couldn't see his face, and continued to smile and said, "Have you ever considered changing your working environment?" ”

Wang Jiaxin chuckled, the muscles on his old face trembled rapidly, his eyes were already full of mist when he raised his head, and his voice was almost choked: "Brother Tiger, I, this time it is really my dereliction of duty, please don't fire me squid, okay?" I have an 80-year-old mother and a baby waiting to be fed, and I can't afford to lose this job! ”

"Ugh!" Wang Xiaohu grinned and didn't react for a while, he waved his hand and said, "I said Lao Wang, don't cry first, I didn't say that I copied your squid, you say slowly, what happened." ”

Wang Jiaxin didn't listen to it, he said the truth of the matter with a handful of snot and tears, it turned out that most of the waste film edited by Concord Company had no place to store temporarily, Wang Jiaxin as the chief "warehouse keeper" of the base, took it upon himself to concentrate these precious waste films in a room at the base, yesterday there happened to be an old friend coming, he was drunk and dizzy when he was happy, and this morning when he routinely inspected the warehouse, he found that the door lock of the room was pried open, and the waste film stored in it was not left to fly!

Wang Jiaxin knew that Wang Xiaohu regarded this batch of waste films as a treasure, because a lot of pictures of Bruce Lee when he was filming were recorded on those films, and there were more shooting tidbits, which belonged to the priceless things in the market, and he knew that he could not hide such a big event, so after learning that Wang Xiaohu returned to Hong Kong, he weighed it again and again and directly to take the blame.

The office suddenly fell silent, Wang Xiaohu's face also changed, disappointed, sad or even angry could not explain his mood at this time, after a long time, he said quietly: "It's all gone?" ”

"Hmm." Wang Jiaxin nodded and whispered, then lowered his head to his chest, closed his eyes and waited for Wang Xiaohu's roar.

"It's all gone!" Wang Xiaohu sighed heavily: "Hey! If it's gone, it's gone. ”

Wang Jiaxin almost didn't believe his ears, what? Brother Tiger wasn't angry? Even said that if it's gone, it's gone, right? What does this mean, does it mean that his job can be saved, thinking of this, Wang Jiaxin's desperate heart immediately ignited a small flame, raised his misty eyes and said, "Brother Tiger, you"

"Hey, everyone is gone, what's the use of leaving these things behind?" Wang Xiaohu shook his head, yes, Brother Xiaolong has already left, and even his "Qihe Xiaozhu" himself doesn't dare to take half a step, although Linda has already given him the key when he leaves, but he is afraid of seeing things and thinking about people, not to mention those discarded films?

After Wang Xiaohu regained his composure, he said: "Old Wang, you don't have to be busy with other things these days, and you can hand over the things in the company with Zhang Yuan." ”

"Brother Tiger, you still want to fire me squid!"

"Fry your sister's fry!" Wang Xiaohu suddenly burst out with a foul language, pointed at Wang Jiaxin's nose and said: "Lao Tzu now orders you to drag your family to Los Angeles and find a guy named Winterdur. ”

"Well, Brother Tiger, don't be angry, I know, I will definitely work hard, I will not live up to Brother Tiger's trust in me, I will definitely make a name for myself in that place of magic light!" Hearing this, Wang Jiaxin hurriedly assured, for fear that Wang Xiaohu would change his mind in the next moment.

"Do you know who stole it?"

Wang Jiaxin nodded and shook his head, that look almost made Wang Xiaohu angry again, and said patiently: "Lao Wang, what kind of expression do you have, do you know or don't know?" ”

"I know, but there's no evidence!" Wang Jiaxin said: "Preliminary suspicions"
