As soon as the reporter of "New Island Daily" finished interviewing Wang Xiaohu, he immediately wanted to report to his boss non-stop. [No pop-up novel network]

Because the journalist thinks that the newsworthiness of the sequel to "Ip Man" that can be exploited and mined is too high.

Moreover, the newspaper was sponsored by Hong Kong and the United Kingdom, and its political purpose was self-evident.

Wang Xiaohu filmed this movie during the "Hong Kong return" negotiations, which may become a premeditated and planned action, who made Wang Xiaohu so close to Chinese mainland in recent years!

According to the speculation of the high-level of the "New Island Yue Bao," Wang Xiaohu is very likely to receive some hints from the political axe of Chinese mainland, taking advantage of the fact that the British side is losing and retreating in the negotiations, pouring oil on it, completely arousing all kinds of dissatisfaction of the Hong Kong people with the British political axe in Hong Kong, and calling on the people of Hong Kong to surrender to the embrace of the mainland!

After listening to the inferences of the senior management of the "Shinjima Newspaper", MacLehose shook his head, and he said with great certainty: "No, this phenomenon is completely impossible to happen, Tiger is not that kind of person!" I just had a conversation with him a while ago, and he just wanted to make a movie, and he didn't want to get involved in any political aspects. ”

However, the think tank immediately used an old Chinese saying "knowing the face but not the heart, and it is difficult to draw the skin and bones of the tiger" to adhere to the possible surnames of their views, and even listed that Wang Xiaohu's several movies over the years are intentional, just ask which of the three globally acclaimed movies is not promoting Chinese culture, and according to the data, he recognized his ancestors and returned to his ancestors a few years ago, so he can't help but be on guard!

As soon as the think tank said nonsense, Lao Mai began to mumble in his heart.

But from his heart, he still didn't believe that Wang Xiaohu would do this, so he immediately called Wang Xiaohu and wanted to hear what Wang Xiaohu meant in person.

Wang Xiaohu did not let MacLehose wait for a long time, and soon came to the office under the leadership of the Hong Kong Governor's secretary.

"Tiger, please be seated." MacLehose pointed to the sofa, and after Wang Xiaohu sat down, he sat next to Wang Xiaohu, and said with a somewhat complicated mood: "I heard some news from others that is not very good for you, I heard that you are going to invest in making a movie, right?" ”

Wang Xiaohu said in his heart, sure enough, he really guessed correctly.

After nodding unabashedly, Wang Xiaohu said: "Yes, there is indeed this shooting plan, mainly to shoot part of the story of my ancestor Mr. Ip Man after he came to Hong Kong, some people may feel that the content of the film is a little sensitive, but Sir please believe me, Xiaohu is definitely not the kind of person who does not know things, I will be very cautious and very careful to deal with this matter." ”

"Tiger, if you say that, I'm relieved!" MacLehose breathed a sigh of relief, but he still frowned and said, "You should know the political significance of the "New Island Newspaper", although I believe that you will not do this, but most of the nobles stationed in Hong Kong may not believe it, you should always let me say it, right?" ”

Wang Xiaohu found that MacLehose was very good at doing things, and what he said to himself was completely human, first expounding his views from a personal point of view, and then putting forward his reasonable requirements from a business point of view.

Wang Xiaohu smiled and did not answer MacLehose's question directly, but talked about some seemingly unrelated things.

"I wonder if Sir remembers the importance of our Hong Kong to Americans during the Vietnam War?"

MacLehose's eyes were open, as the governor of Hong Kong, he did not know the strategic importance of Hong Kong, during the Vietnam War, Hong Kong was the logistics base of the US Navy fleet and its rest and entertainment center, and its geographical location was far more important than Thailand.

It's just that MacLehose doesn't understand why Wang Xiaohu said these words.

He nodded and said, "Of course I do, but does it have anything to do with what we're going to talk about today?" ”

Wang Xiaohu nodded and said: "If you listen to my script about the sequel to "Ip Man", maybe you will offset the previous concerns even more, the script is arranged like this"

Half an hour has passed, MacLehose has been listening quietly, and when he heard Wang Xiaohu talk about the critical moment, he has suddenly realized, although Wang Xiaohu only mentioned a few small aspects, the clever Hong Kong Governor has realized the ingenuity of this script.

"Wonderful! Tiger, how did you come up with the idea? Originally, I thought you would make the film a propaganda film that was not good for British politics, but who knew that you would arrange such an ingenious plot! ”

MacLehose unceremoniously praised Wang Xiaohu and said: "Now I am completely relieved, Tiger, you are simply the best knight in the British Empire." ”

Wang Xiaohu said with disdain in his heart: Ya turned her face faster than rolling blinds, and I didn't know who was scared just now.

"Of course, I promised you that I would fully cooperate with the current peaceful and stable development of Hong Kong." Wang Xiaohu said.

Although he didn't express his dissatisfaction, he also made MacLehose blush, he coughed twice in embarrassment, and said, "Tiger, I'm sorry, I'll arrange for the "New Island Daily" to publish an article to clarify. ”

"No need." Wang Xiaohu waved his hand and said, "There is no need at all, as long as Sir does not suspect that I am a spy or spy sent by Chinese mainland." ”

"Tiger, it looks like you're still blaming me." MacLehose's expression was extremely embarrassed.

"Huh." Wang Xiaohu said with a smile: "How good it is to maintain such public opinion, it should be regarded as free publicity for the film." ”

"Hahaha! I can't imagine that you will really use the resources of public opinion. MacLehose smiled bitterly when he heard this.

After a long time, he sighed and said: "Tiger, please don't blame me, you are different from Li Ka-shing, Bao Yugang, and Fok Yingdong, maybe your economic wealth is not as much as theirs, but your influence is more than their combined." ”

"Don't worry, I understand." Wang Xiaohu nodded.

Sometimes being concerned by the two countries at the same time can be a double-edged sword, and Wang Xiaohu now understands the meaning.

Before leaving, MacLehose personally sent him out, which caused many people in the Hong Kong Governor's Office Building to look sideways, especially those "conspirators" who broke their glasses on the ground, and said in his heart What did Wang Xiaohu say to the Hong Kong Governor, why didn't he see the Hong Kong Governor angry, and even sent it off in person with a smile on his face?

Before getting into the car, MacLehose whispered to Wang Xiaohu: "Tiger, I will propose to the queen that you be a Justice of the Peace!" ”

Justice of the Peace? What's that?

Wang Xiaohu rubbed his nose, he never had a clear idea of these knights, gentlemen, or anything made by the British.

He's not the kind of guy who likes to pretend to be around the world under the guise of some kind of jazz status, so naturally he doesn't pay much attention to these things

MacLehose did not stop the "New Island Daily" from making various comments about Wang Xiaohu, and in fact he also wanted to see what kind of perception Hong Kong people maintain about China's repossession of Hong Kong.

The next day, major newspapers in Hong Kong publicly announced that Wang Xiaohu was going to direct the sequel to "Ip Man".

First of all, Ming Pao made an objective comment.

"On the occasion of the 10th anniversary of the death of the grandmaster Ip Man, his disciple Wang Xiaohu wants to shoot a sequel to "Ip Man" and join forces with Hollywood A-list stars to create a brilliant kung fu film."

From this, you can see that Jin Yong protects Wang Xiaohu in many ways, "Ming Pao" did not say some messy things, but from the perspective of the movie, Wang Xiaohu's commemoration of Ip Man is the key factor as the starting point, like everyone announced the news that the sequel to "Ip Man" is about to start.

The major newspapers, led by the "Niijima Newspaper", focused their reports on discussing the plot of the sequel to "Ip Man".

"It's hard to understand that Wang Xiaohu made sensitive movies at a sensitive time, in the previous work, Ip Man was talking about himself, and when he learned that the sequel to "Ip Man" was about the conflict between mainlanders, Hong Kongers, and British, Wang Xiaohu also publicly admitted that Ip Man wanted to fight foreigners in the sequel, and we expressed our great disappointment."

"Is Wang Xiaohu using the film to explain his attitude towards Hong Kong's return? Or do you want to stir up hatred between Hong Kongers and British? We'll see! ”

As soon as various articles came out, Concord International, Wang Xiaohu, and the sequel to "Ip Man" suddenly became the focus of attention of Hong Kong people.

One person said that he was looking forward to it, as long as the citizens who had watched "Ip Man" still remembered the scene when they watched it in the theater that year, there has never been a movie like "Ip Man" that resonated and applauded everyone, and even in the "Your Favorite Movie Character" vote launched after the inception of "Film Fortnightly", the number of votes for "Ip Man" played by Wang Xiaohu far exceeded that of "Chen Zhen" played by Bruce Lee.

Ten years later, Wang Xiaohu is going to shoot a sequel to "Ip Man" again, how can you make the fans of the year not excited, and this time Wang Xiaohu will also invite Hollywood first-line actors to join, the plot of the film will definitely be more exciting, of course, everyone is most concerned about how Ip Man will beat foreigners with Wing Chun!

And some people are very worried, they all like Wang Xiaohu, but they don't want Wang Xiaohu to be politically implicated because of this, if Wang Xiaohu is banned by the Hong Kong British political axe because of this movie, who will make a good-looking movie for them in the future!

You must know that the film directed by Wang Xiaohu himself is several grades better and classic than most Hong Kong films in terms of plot, picture, and martial arts!

There are even some people who maintain a gloating attitude, because Wang Xiaohu has been too smooth in the past ten years, almost every work he shoots is a high box office, if this sequel to "Ip Man" cannot be released due to political factors after completion, the box office will naturally suffer Waterloo.

Seeing Wang Xiaohu occupy the top few places at the box office every year, when can there be an accident to make everyone happy?

After reading these newspapers, Run Run Shaw picked up the phone and thought about it for a long time before putting it down, and said that it seems that every time I am in a hurry, this kid is not in a hurry, I don't know what method this kid will use to solve this thorny problem, well, this time wait and see what happens, if he is in trouble, I will help dredge it through my own relationship.
