610 Win-win cooperation
Maybe it was Wang Xiaohu's instinctive reaction, he always had great concerns about himself, he didn't believe that there was a free lunch in this world, and he didn't think that Zong Yougui, who had just been in charge of the Shaolin Boxing Alliance for a few months, would be so kind. [No pop-up novel network]
If you change to any Hong Kong film company, you must be happy when you hear that some businessmen want to represent their own films, but Wang Xiaohu is different.
Others may think that this is a great thing from the perspective of a businessman, and it should be promoted as soon as possible, and it will be easy to sign the contract and get the agency fee, but Wang Xiaohu knows what he has done in Yueben.
The more than $6 million that Concord made its fortune back then was won by the Yamaguchi-gumi, no, it was won by real strength.
At that time, the exchange rate between the yuan and the US dollar was 240:1, which means that the Yamaguchi group directly lost 1.44 billion yuan, and the Yamaguchi group who woke up was preparing to assassinate at his engagement banquet.
It can be said that Wang Xiaohu and the Yamaguchi-gumi, the largest underworld organization in this book, took over a blood feud, that is, since then, both the Concord Company and Wang Xiaohu's family have strengthened their security forces.
It's just that I don't know why, the Yamaguchi-gumi haven't made waves in Hong Kong since the failure of that operation, maybe there are small actions in the dark that Wang Xiaohu doesn't know, maybe a bigger storm is brewing.
Wang Xiaohu never let his guard down, because he knew the Yamaguchi-gumi group of crazy people, and he also knew how stupid and terrible the so-called Yamaguchi-gumi was.
Just because you worship yourself, just because of the friendly relations between China and China, do you want to represent Concord in the release of all the films in Yueben?
Wang Xiaohu really can't believe it!
"Condition!"
After Wang Xiaohu said this sentence cleanly, he looked at Zong Yougui without the slightest expression on his face.
"On what terms?" Zong Yougui obviously didn't understand the meaning of this sentence, and hurriedly asked, "What is Mr. Wang talking about?" ”
Wang Xiaohu shrugged his shoulders and said: "Just now you have made it very clear about the various superior conditions of your alliance in Yueben, since you want to represent "Shaolin Temple", you should always put forward some conditions, right?" For example, what is the proportion of the box office share, for example, whether the publicity cost of the film in the book is borne by your alliance, or we are borne by Concord, or shared equally. ”
Zong Yugui patted his forehead, this action is very cute in the eyes of others.
"I'm sorry, I don't understand these things, and I may not be able to give Mr. Wang an answer at once, so it's better to wait for me to return to China and agree with the seniors in the film industry before giving you the result."
Wang Xiaohu nodded, to say in his heart, the small place of Ben can't make much box office profits, he didn't look at it at all, looking to the future, the world's largest movie box office battlefields are North America and Chinese mainland.
With the steady development of the mainland's economy, when "Titanic" swept hundreds of millions of box office in the mainland in 1998, Hollywood, South Korea, and even India, Thailand and other film circles realized China's potential film consumption power.
However, if Zong Yougui doesn't play any tricks, and is purely a simple agent for the distribution rights of Concord's films, it will be a different matter, and Wang Xiaohu decided to treat everyone equally according to the box office share ratio with the Hollywood giants.
Promised, just try my sincerity first, and then talk about the cooperation after "Shaolin Temple".
If you don't agree, there is no loss for Wang Xiaohu, and she doesn't admit any risks.
At this time, the two leaders of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs raised their glasses to toast Wang Xiaohu, and they hoped that Wang Xiaohu would be able to turn a big thing into a small one because of some misunderstandings that occurred in the morning.
Wang Xiaohu also didn't want to embarrass Zhao Gang, Guo Peng, and Zhang Yun, after all, he was only shooting movies in the mainland at present, unlike Lao Zhao, who often went in and out of state political organs, and they didn't see anyone looking up and looking down.
So Wang Xiaohu smiled and clinked glasses with the two leaders, which made Zhao Gang and the three of them suddenly breathe a long sigh of relief, they were really afraid that Wang Xiaohu's stubborn temper would not give face, so no one would be happy!
The two leaders went to exchange views with the foreign guests at the wine table.
Zhao Gang was very grateful for Wang Xiaohu's understanding, and raised his glass and said, "Lao Wang, thank you." ”
"Don't say these kind words, we have been cooperating for more than four years, and we don't know each other, what I said in the morning is still counting, as long as you don't want to mix in the yamen one day, you can come to me."
"Mr. Wang, aren't your girls in Hong Kong very beautiful?" Zhang Yun asked with a smirk across Zhao Gang holding his wine glass.
Wang Xiaohu raised his eyebrows: "What?" How old do you want to be a daughter-in-law? ”
Zhang Yun scratched his head and said, "No, I just ask, ask, hehe, don't think too much." ”
"Haha~~"
Guo Peng poured Wang Xiaohu full of wine and said: "Mr. Wang, don't believe Zhang Yun's mouth, he is a typical duplicity, a big pervert in our group, and he is the kind of person who has no lust and no guts!" ”
Zhang Yun immediately blushed when he heard this, "Guo Peng, if you want to fight for wine, just say it, don't use this kind of agitation method!" After that, he picked up the wine glass and fought with Guo Peng.
"Yo, the sun is coming out of the west today, just fight!" Guo Peng was not ambiguous, and poured a cup with his head up.
Seeing that the two generals under his command were "embarrassed" here, Zhao Gang was not angry, and asked Wang Xiaohu in a low voice: "Lao Wang, why didn't you agree to the right to screen "Shaolin Temple" just now?" ”
"I don't have a good impression of the little devils, who knows what bad intentions they have." Wang Xiaohu said with a smile.
"It's right to be cautious, but the background of this girl is very pure, and they say that the Shaolin Boxing Alliance has more than 700,000 members." Zhao Gang said like a few treasures.
"Hehe, I didn't expect you to inquire very clearly!" Wang Xiaohu thought for a while and said, "Is the source reliable? This sect is not supported by an underworld organization behind you? ”
Zhao Gang shook his head and said: "No, but her father Zong Daochen was an invasion of China, first in Shenyang to learn White Lotus Boxing, and then to worship the Northern Shaolin Yihemen Boxing Master Wen Taizong as a teacher, and devoted himself to practicing Shaolin Zen and martial arts." After the war, Zong Daochen returned to Yueben, for the glory of the "fist Zen as " method of King Kong Zen, the system learned in China, the establishment of Shaolin boxing, said in the martial arts world is also very prestigious, said that the underworld organizations such as the Black Dragon Society, the Yamaguchi Group will not take the initiative to provoke them, more importantly, Zong Daochen has always maintained a good relationship with the political axe of the book. ”
Wang Xiaohu nodded and sighed, it seems that Zong Yougui was not boasting just now, he still has some energy. However, he did not change his original intention because of this, and still waited cautiously and cautiously for the results of the trial.
After lunch, Zong Yougui asked to see the filming of "Shaolin Temple".
Wang Xiaohu didn't refuse this time, but no one was allowed to take pictures, and for the places that were trade secrets, Wang Xiaohu also quickly took them over, not giving them any chance to stop, even if Zong Yougui asked curiously, Wang Xiaohu didn't give any answer.
"I didn't expect that in a few months, the Shaolin Temple would have undergone such a big change." When Zong Yougui walked out of the mountain gate with the people of the Shaolin Boxing Alliance, he bowed deeply to Wang Xiaohu: "Thank you Mr. Wang for his important contribution to spreading the culture of Shaolin Temple." ”
It turned out that Lao Chen of the Ministry of Culture kept saying good things about Wang Xiaohu just now, saying that if it wasn't for Mr. Wang to shoot "Shaolin Temple", it would not have spent a lot of money to repair Shaolin Temple.
In fact, Wang Xiaohu knew in his heart that if there was no "Myth" to drive the cultural boom of the Terracotta Warriors and Horses of Qin Shi Huang in the past, China would not attach so much importance to the renovation of Shaolin Temple, who would not want to follow the influence of the film to drive the development of local culture and tourism.
Besides, even without Wang Xiaohu's participation, according to the historical trajectory of development, once "Shaolin Temple" is filmed in Zhang Xinyan's hands, the Shaolin Temple will definitely be forced to undergo major repairs, and it is impossible for the country not to see the business opportunities driven by it.
Therefore, Wang Xiaohu said to Zong Yougui politely: "What I have done is really insignificant, Miss Zong Yougui does not need to thank me." ”
Suddenly, Wang Xiaohu figured out one thing, that is, why Zong Yougui would be so interested in representing "Shaolin Temple".
Through what she just said, Wang Xiaohu can completely conclude that as long as "Shaolin Temple" is released in Yueben, the membership of the Shaolin Boxing Alliance will definitely skyrocket!
At that time, China set off a frenzy of martial arts training, not to mention the book, and the Shaolin Boxing Alliance had 700,000 members, so what was the number after the release? Wang Xiaohu can't guess, but it is certain that he can earn a lot just by collecting membership fees.
"Oops, I almost lost my eyes!" Wang Xiaohu sighed in his heart, at first he just figured out Zong Yougui's intentions from other angles, thinking that this 23-year-old woman who could become the head of the house had other intentions, but it turned out that he guessed wrong, and his intention might be to develop the members and forces of the alliance!
There is no doubt that Wang Xiaohu also admits that this is a win-win result of cooperation, but he still decided to go according to the old plan because he had prejudices about himself.
Zong Yougui suddenly became shy before leaving, "Mr. Wang, I don't know if I can take a photo with your son." ”
"Oh, of course." After Wang Xiaohu figured out this relationship, his mood suddenly changed a lot, he took a photo with Zong Yougui with a smile, and signed for Zong Yougui, who bowed and thanked him, and said all kinds of auspicious blessings, so he turned back and got into the car step by step.
"Tsk, Lao Wang, I'm envious of you now!" Zhao Gang came to Wang Xiaohu's side, lit a Great China and said: "If I have such a fan, I will be content to die!" ”
"Heh, if you want to be famous, you can do that!" Wang Xiaohu turned around and said to Zhao Gang with a smile: "Go and resign, and then go to Hong Kong with me, and you will definitely become a big star in Asia within half a year." ”
"Really?" Zhao Gang asked with a smile.
"You can ask why I'm called in Hong Kong and Hollywood."
Wang Xiaohu pursed his lips and hummed a little song of "Shaolin, Shaolin" and left.
"Zhang Yun, do you know what Lao Wang is called by others?" Zhao Gang turned his head and asked Zhang Yun.
Zhao Yun shook his head like a rattle: "Commander, I don't know." ”
"What about you, Guo Peng!"
"Commander, I don't know either!"
"Two stupid people, hurry up and ask someone from the Ministry of Culture to inquire, so as not to be laughed at by Lao Wang in the future!"
Zhao Gang depressedly finished issuing the order, and also followed Wang Xiaohu's example, humming "Shaolin, Shaolin" and walked towards the mountain gate.
Zhang Yun and Guo Peng, you look at me, I look at you.
"Whoever provoked whom, this is, no wonder Xiao Sun refused to follow Captain Zhao this time, it turned out to be true!" Zhang Yun said angrily: "In the future, we will not follow Captain Zhao on a mission." ”
Guo Peng sighed and said: "Hey, Zhang Yun, if you have a little guts, just guard the face of Head Zhao and say, don't be reckless behind your back, I'd better quickly contact the Ministry of Culture to inquire." ”
Zhang Yun looked at the head of the regiment who was far away, and then looked at Guo Peng who was going down the mountain, and after weighing it again and again, he decided to complete the task first. Guo Peng, you wait for me."
"Zhang Yimou, push the camera a little further and give Jet Li's face a close-up, yes, steady, don't shake your hands, it's good, it's over!"
What I was filming just now was the scene where Jet Li jumped into the Yellow River, fainted at the gate of Shaolin Temple after all the hardships, was rescued by Yu Hai and others, and fed "field chicken porridge".
Now that it is about to enter December, the scene of filming six little monks catching chickens will definitely not be completed, so Wang Xiaohusuo will shoot the plot first, and then go back to Hong Kong to make up the picture of catching chickens.
In the scene just now, Jet Li's acting skills accumulated in the past four years finally have a usefulness, in the face of feeding porridge at Haikoukou, Jet Li's Jueyuan was so moved that he really cried, and there was no sign of contrivedness at all.
Since the start of "Shaolin Temple", the first literary drama has passed smoothly.
Yuan Kui patted Jet Li's shoulder and said, "Jie Zai is good, he cried just now as if it was true." ”
"Uncle Shi, I really cried again!" Jet Li wiped his tears and said: "Before I came, I specially showed the script to Xingzai and them, and Xingzai spent one night teaching me how to cry in front of the camera for three seconds." ”
Wang Xiaohu almost fell into the director's chair when he heard this, and asked curiously, "How did he teach you?"
Jet Li said: "Xingzai said that if you can't cry, think about the hardships you have suffered, such as being scolded by the master or being spanked by the master, so that you can cry quickly." ”
"Grandma, when did Lao Tzu spank your ass!" Wang Xiaohu suddenly lost his temper when he heard this, saying that since he accepted the new seven little blessings, he was not willing to knock them with a stick, right?
"When I go back to Hong Kong, I'll hang you up and beat you up first!" Wang Xiaohu said viciously, and the frightened Jet Li stuck out his tongue.
