Wang Xiaohu was furious for "North and South Shaolin", which not only made the director of the film silent, but also made Uncle Shao Liushu sad, in order to make up for the huge rift caused by this incident, Uncle Shao Liu began to act the next day. [No pop-up novel network]

First of all, in order to calm Wang Xiaohu's anger, Liu Jialiang held a press conference, apologized for the unpleasantness that occurred during the filming of "North and South Shaolin" in an absolutely sincere tone, and read the confession aloud in front of dozens of reporters.

This caught the reporters present off guard, they didn't know what was going on, why Director Liu, who has always been pretentious in the circle, publicly apologized, and his tone was so low.

If it weren't for the fact that people in the circle were familiar with the previous Director Liu, I am afraid they would think that this was a farce.

It wasn't until Liu Jialiang read the confession halfway through that the reporters suddenly realized, oh, it turned out that Liu Jialiang played a big name during the filming of "North and South Shaolin", deliberately making things difficult for mainland actors in terms of salary, food and other treatments, and even gave people small shoes, which led to the resistance of mainland actors and fierce conflicts.

Gossip, big gossip!

A while ago, Wang Xiaohu, Lin Qingxia, Qin Xianglin, and Teresa Teng's gossip could not be interviewed and promoted, mainly because the other party was hard backstage, and these reporters did not dare to offend.

But Liu Jialiang is different, judging from the current attitude of the Shaw Brothers, Shao Tycoon has made it clear that he doesn't care, is it because of this matter that Director Liu Jialiang was kicked out of the door of Shaw Brothers?

"I only sincerely apologize to the mainland sports athletes on behalf of myself, I hope they can forgive me, I am willing to take all the responsibilities, and after the press conference, I will immediately pay all the benefits and salaries in a timely manner to ensure that the remuneration of mainland actors is the same standard as that of Hong Kong actors."

After Liu Jialiang's confession was published, the reporters below were already anxious, and as soon as Liu Jialiang finished speaking, one by one the reporters stood up and asked questions.

"May I ask Director Liu, is there any factual basis for the mainland actors you mentioned in your speech just now that they are of the same standard as our Hong Kong actors?"

"Do all film companies that plan to co-produce with mainland China have to abide by such standards?"

"Director Liu, I heard that you were injured by athletes from the mainland, is it true?"

"What do you think of Mr. Run Run Shaw?"

"Will Run Shaw and Wang Xiaohu break up because of this?"

"Director Liu, do you have any plans to change jobs?"

Throwing questions one after another, Liu Jialiang was speechless, how to answer? One is sharper than the other, and one is more difficult to answer than the other, Liu Jialiang hurriedly asked the host for help when he saw this.

In this case, it is better to remain silent than anything, in case the answer is incorrect, then this public apology is not an apology, it will directly add fuel to the fire, and the incident will escalate accordingly, and if you can't complete the task assigned by Run Run Shaw, how can you mix in the circle in the future?

Seeing that the situation was not good, the host hastily ended the press conference with a classic "no comment".

And no matter what the media thinks about this matter, Liu Jialiang has completed the task of apologizing.

After Run Run Shaw got the news, he calmed down a little, and immediately dragged Jin Yong and Shen Zhong to be peacemakers, doing everything possible to ease the relationship between the two.

After Jin Yong heard about this, he complained to Run Run Shaw, "Shaw, I don't know what to say about you, you don't know Xiaohu's surname, look at what Xiaohu has done in recent years, which one is not looking for a way out for Hong Kong movies?" ”

"But what about you, one by one, seeing that the box office of the mainland market is good, swarming around to get a piece of the pie, even if you can't do anything to promote friendly exchanges between Hong Kong and the mainland, you can't break the rules set by Xiaohu!"

"Liu Jialiang is making such a fuss, how do you let Xiaohu face the mainland?" Jin Yong sighed when he said this: "Yifu, Xiaohu is not the kind of narrow-minded person, some people may say that what he is doing now is to curry favor with the mainland and leave a way back after his return, if even you think like this, then you have mistaken Xiaohu!" ”

Run Run Shaw was also very uncomfortable in his heart, Jin Yong's words were reasonable, not to mention anything else, just this "Hong Kong Film Promotion" activity held in the mainland not only solved the backlog of a large number of inventory copies of the Shaw Brothers Group, increased a lot of profits, but also opened the name of the Shaw Brothers in the mainland, at least the mainland knows that there is a film company called "Shaw Brothers" in the world, and it is an old comrade-in-arms relationship with Concord Company for many years.

"There are no rules." Shen Zhong said: "Sixth, Xiaohu can be regarded as saving enough face for you this time, if it were me, I would make Liu Jialiang regret it for the rest of my life, we hate unruly people the most." ”

"So what do I do now?" Run Run Shaw asked with a bitter face.

"Ease down!" Shen Zhong shook his head and said: "Sixth, I heard that Xiaohu's "Mulan" is about to be filmed in the mainland, and you make such a fuss, I'm afraid it will disrupt his plans, and it will take him a lot of time to regain trust with the mainland." ”

"Oops!" Run Run Shaw slapped his thigh and said, "I really did a foolish thing!" ”

Run Run Shaw now completely regrets it, after all, he knows that it is not easy for Wang Xiaohu to maintain such a good relationship with the mainland, not only throwing a large amount of money into it, but even spending a lot of effort, not to mention anything else, you must know that Wang Xiaohu has always negotiated with the mainland in his personal name.

Imagine that the cultural exchanges between the two countries will waste a lot of time to match, not to mention that Wang Xiaohu is currently alone!

At first, Run Run Shaw only thought about how to reconcile Shaw Brothers and Concord, but he never thought that there would be such a big impact behind the matter.

Guilt, Run Run Shaw is currently more ashamed than guilty.

I am ashamed to rely on the old and sell the old, and I am ashamed that I have delayed Wang Xiaohu's big event!

For a while, Run Run Shaw was in a mess and didn't know how to deal with it.

"Shaw, it's already happened, and it's useless to say anything else." Jin Yong was also worried, and after thinking about it, he said, "Why don't I go to Xiaohu to find out the wind first, and inquire about the progress of the matter." ”

"In addition, prepare money, it is indispensable to use money to deal with the mainland and dredge relations!" Shen Zhong sighed a lot

The news of Liu Jialiang's public apology was directly published in the newspaper the next day, and many citizens were confused after reading it, and they couldn't analyze much content value in the literal sense, but the apology was followed by a lot of small gossip, which satisfied the curiosity of the citizens to some extent.

A newspaper said, "Liu Jialiang's move was forced by Wang Xiaohu's Yinwei, because Liu Jialiang broke Wang Xiaohu's rules when he was filming in the mainland." ”

Rules, what rules?

Citizens wondered one after another, and the newspaper also explained in detail the rules set by Wang Xiaohu in the back: If the Hong Kong side wants to adopt a co-production method with the mainland, the treatment of the two parties participating in the performance should be uniform, or according to the mainland standard, or according to the Hong Kong standard.

So the citizens quickly reacted, this is the overlord treaty! Because it is clearly written in the newspaper: "According to insiders, colleagues in the circle are very tired of the overlord treaty formulated by Wang Xiaohu, and think that Wang Xiaohu's move is a monopolistic behavior." ”

After Run Run Shaw heard the news, he was so angry that he tore up the newspaper on the spot, and the sixth uncle was very angry, and the consequences were very serious, and soon someone stood up and said: Who the hell is adding fuel to the fire and distorting the truth, the Shaw Group directly complained to the Hong Kong Governor, closed your newspaper, and arrested you into the bureau.

This trick is more resolute than a war of words, no wonder Run Run Shaw is so angry, it seems that he is still thinking too simply, he should have known that he should not apologize in Hong Kong, he should go to the mainland, you see this is a trouble!

"What? Is the sixth uncle sick? After Wang Xiaohu heard the news from the visiting Jin Yong's mouth, he frowned tightly: "Is it serious?" ”

"It's okay, the doctor said that the liver fire is too strong, and it will be fine after a few days of recuperation." Jin Yong told the truth.

There was a short silence in the living room, Wang Xiaohu sighed, he had also heard the recent rumors outside, in addition to remaining silent, he didn't want to fight any lawsuits, and it was definitely a fool to fight with the media at this time.

As Jin Yong speculated, the accident of the crew of "North and South Shaolin" has affected the filming of "Mulan" in the mainland to a certain extent, and if this matter is not resolved, it will largely destroy Wang Xiaohu's painstaking management over the years.

He doesn't think that the mainland is a well-meaning person who likes to be bullied by others, and the reason why he hasn't taken action so far is because he asked the Ministry of Culture to formulate a co-production management document as soon as possible after the incident.

Sometimes don't underestimate a sentence, if you put this sentence in place after the incident, it shows that you Wang Xiaohu attaches great importance to this matter, and quickly shows his identity and position, at least his attitude is correct, and he quickly took measures.

If you didn't say this, then the rest of the matter is much more interesting, although the good relationship established over the years did not disintegrate in an instant, but Wang Xiaohu also left a bad impression on the mainland.

At this time, I can't help but talk about why Wang Xiaohu took Zhao Gang to meet Run Shaw and Liu Jialiang's cleverness.

Zhao Gang is a rectum, Wang Xiaohu is very clear about this, he believes that Zhao Gang will report everything he did that day to the Ministry of Culture, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and other high-level officials, Wang Xiaohu is because he understands this, he acted in a good show half-truthfully, but it was said that it was acting, and he was really angry at that time.

"Where is the sixth uncle recuperating?"

After being silent for a long time, Wang Xiaohu asked Jin Yong.

"Xiaohu, even if you want to visit him, Shaw may not have the face to see you now." Jin Yong smiled bitterly and said, "He feels sorry for you, he has no face." ”

"Hehe, in that case, please tell the sixth uncle: I have almost solved the matter." After Wang Xiaohu finished speaking, he laughed secretly in his heart, how could he not see Jin Yong's intention to visit today, it was nothing more than to probe his own style.

Sure enough, Jin Yong was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly said, "Really? ”

Wang Xiaohu nodded: "Well, but this time Liu Jialiang made too much noise, and it will not be so easy for everyone to enter the mainland to make films in the future." ”

"Will this "Shooting the Condor" be affected?" As soon as Jin Yong heard this, he hurriedly inquired about his own affairs, after all, he had waited for nine years, if the TV series that was caused by this incident was aborted, he would have to be anxious with Run Run Shaw!

People, once it comes to their own interests, they will be in chaos.

Wang Xiaohu shook his head and sighed, and then said: "That will not be affected, I mean the future review, yesterday I had a telephone exchange with the Ministry of Culture of the mainland, they think that this incident is of a bad nature, and they are worried that there will be scenes in our Hong Kong movies that slander the mainland and contain political overtones, and portray the mainlanders as ignorant, barbaric, lowly, and poor image representatives, so if you want to enter the mainland to make films in the future, the review process is very complicated!" ”

Jin Yong relieved his heart, but he still understood, Liu Jialiang's troubles directly narrowed the originally loose and good communication window a lot, in the past, this window was opened by Wang Xiaohu with his own strength, which was enough to be as tall as one person, but now, the window is half a person high, that is to say, the opportunity for the Hong Kong film army to seek a fortune through the window has been reduced by half!

"Hey, what a sin!" Jin Yong was heartbroken.

The two chatted for a long time, and then Jin Yong said goodbye and left, as soon as he walked on the front foot, Zhao Yazhi sat next to Wang Xiaohu, looking at her husband with a complicated expression.

"Ah Hu, why did you lie just now?"

Only Zhao Yazhi knows best that what Wang Xiaohu said to Jin Yong just now was a lie, in fact, the mainland did not mention these things, it was purely Wang Xiaohu who deliberately said that the problem was so serious.

"If I don't lie, these old guys will still rely on the old and sell the old!" Wang Xiaohu said angrily: "But it's not that I'm lying, because except for our Concord, the profits of other Hong Kong film companies from releasing films in the mainland will be reduced by half." ”

"25% of the box office?" Zhao Yazhi asked in surprise.

"That's right! If it weren't for our Concord relationship, their box office share would only be 25%. I'm not a philanthropist, so I don't have the leisure to wipe their butts for free. Wang Xiaohu stretched his waist, stood up and said: "Since we have opened up the relationship, we have to make good use of it, otherwise we won't be able to see the superior surname of our Concord Company." ”

Zhao Yazhi is right when she thinks about it, the current bridge between Hong Kong movies and the mainland is all made by her husband, why should they take advantage of it in vain and fulfill their obligations.

Wang Xiaohu took the opportunity of Liu Jialiang's troubles this time to directly lay a foundation for the future, and later all the movies released in the mainland, if they want to get good theaters, if they want to get the mainland's political axe relaxed policy treatment, they must be named "produced by Concord" or "producer Wang Xiaohu" and "producer Zhao Yazhi".
