"You should know that Jia Liang has always wanted to be a director, and he refuses to go to Taiwan with Zhang Che!" Shaw sat in a secluded corner and said to Wang Xiaohu: "In fact, it was Jialiang's desire that indirectly led Zhang Che to leave Shaw Brothers. 【】”

Wang Xiaohu narrowed his eyes, he was deeply curious about the current pattern of the Shaw Brothers, for example, it is natural for Liu Jialiang to want to be a director, after all, a martial arts instructor who does not want to be a director is not a good martial arts instructor, not to mention that Liu Jialiang has always advertised that he is the fourth generation of Huang Feihong's authentic descendants.

"How?"

Run Run Shaw said with a wry smile: "The fuse is "God Fight", Jia Liang has found me alone several times since he read your script, and he can't wait to shoot "God Fight" now, he even split the script into several parts, respectively, he wants me to tell how this film will be filmed with a sense of comedy, how to pictograph the kung fu of God Fight, well, this is the inspiration he inspired after watching "Drunken Fist". ”

Run Run Shaw took a sip of red wine and continued: "You also know that now Zhang Che's "Stinging Horse" has entered a critical moment, and Liu Jialiang's important surname as a martial arts instructor is self-evident. ”

"Why do I listen to Uncle Six's tone as if he is complaining about me?" Wang Xiaohu's expression was a little embarrassed.

Run Run Shaw smiled: "You don't admit yourself. In fact, I can't blame you, Zhang Che has long been interested in leaving Shaw Brothers, but your suggestion that Liu Jialiang be a director has become the fuse, even if there is no mixing with you, he will leave Shaw Brothers next year. His contract with Shaw Brothers has expired, and he has no plans to renew it. ”

As soon as Run Run Shaw said this, the guilt in Wang Xiaohu's heart suddenly disappeared, "It is normal for people to go to high places, and water to flow to low places, anyway, he won't be able to leave for a while, sixth uncle, you just train Liu Jialiang to be the successor." ”

"But Jia Liang may not be reliable." Run Run Shaw pointed out slightly, Liu Jialiang was not the master of peace back then, and he took a lot of private work outside without Shaw Roufu, but unfortunately he never succeeded, if he succeeded, would Liu Jialiang still run back to Shaw Brothers?

"There is no suspicion in employing people, and there is no need to suspect people." Wang Xiaohu directly threw out this sentence and said: "Now is the critical time for the replacement of the old and the new, you should stabilize Liu Jialiang, give him confidence and encouragement, give him more opportunities to direct alone, and increase his experience, this is the best policy." ”

Run Run Shaw nodded and sighed and said, "I just took the risk to try it for the sake of you highly recommending him, and I hope your vision is still reliable." Ay! ”

"Sixth uncle, don't worry, Liu Jialiang will definitely succeed in succession." Wang Xiaohu took another sip of red wine, but after all, he didn't feel like it, so he poured it down directly, and the sour feeling in his mouth made him smack his lips. After a while, he raised his head and asked, "What about John Woo?" ”

"He? He seems to be restless right now! "Run Run Shaw doesn't pay attention to John Woo, in fact, it's right to think about it, John Woo is really not good at Shaw Brothers now, and he is just Zhang Che's deputy to death, and it can't reach the level that makes Run Run Shaw pay attention to." Xiaohu, you need to write me a few good books. ”

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say!" Wang Xiaohu is full of promises, saying that he has accelerated the development of Hong Kong films for at least five or six years this time, and has directly transitioned from the hesitant imitation period to the kung fu comedy period, and the biggest beneficiary is naturally himself, while other film and television companies have fallen into a blank space of alternating between the old and the new. After all, these are made by themselves, and they must give Uncle Shao Liu some compensation to be at ease. As for good scripts, you don't have to worry too much about them, anyway, there are not a few kung fu movies shot by Shaw Brothers in the late 70s, and many of them are still classic productions that can be used.

After getting Wang Xiaohu's promise, Run Run Shaw was obviously a lot more relaxed, drinking red wine and asking Wang Xiaohu's next plan: "What will you shoot after "Drunken Fist"? ”

"I haven't thought about it yet, I want to train Sanmao and Yuan Heping, it always makes me too busy and too tired, after all, I will get bored of being engaged in the same type of film shooting for a long time." Wang Xiaohu groaned.

"You kid is so bad! You don't know how many people want to reach your heights, even if you follow the trend and make a video of your style, you will make a lot of money, but you are not satisfied! Run Run Shaw scolded with a smile: "You don't just toss them around, do you?" ”

Wang Xiaohu smiled and said, "Hehe, this is not impossible. In fact, that's how I think, jade can't be made without cutting, and besides, they have to find their own development route. ”

"In this case, can you introduce a few of your senior brothers to the Shaw Clan. This time, Shaw's injuries were terrible. Run Run Shaw smiled and proposed: "Of course, I won't dig your main personnel, I mean Yuan Bin, Yuan De, Yuan Wu, they are at least professionally trained by you, if you serve as a martial arts instructor in the Shaw Clan, it shouldn't be wronged them, right?" ”

Wang Xiaohu squinted his eyes and pondered for a long time, he didn't think about this problem, in fact, when filming "Jingwumen" two years ago, he encouraged Yuan Bin and others to go out, but at that time they were not famous, neither Golden Harvest nor Shaw Brothers were willing to hire them at a high price, and now these senior brothers have all emerged, since Run Run Shaw invited him, he felt good after thinking about it again.

After all, Qi Xiaofu's fame is in various fields, Yuan Bin and others are well-known martial arts instructors in Hong Kong, and Yuan Bin is even a well-known action director in Hollywood. Run Run Shaw is facing a dilemma at this time, and he has to help as a strategic partner! "Well, well, but you have to pay them according to Concord's salary, otherwise I will strongly disagree."

"That's all easy to say! Uncle Sixth is not like some people pick the door! "Run Run Shaw's words are aimed at someone, and someone naturally refers to Wang Xiaohu.

Wang Xiaohu didn't care: "I'll discuss it with a few of them when I go back, and if they have no opinion, I'll inform you." ”

In the dormitory of the Shaw Brothers, Wu Yusen, with long hair, sat on the edge of the bed, holding a bottle of wine in his hand, and every time he took a sip of wine, he sighed for a long time. After looking at the time, Wu Yusen became even more irritable, and muttered, "Why hasn't John come yet?" ”

John is David Jiang, in the Shaw Group, there are two John in the Zhang family class, one is David Jiang, and the other is John Woo. When David Jiang became famous, John Woo had just come to Shaw Brothers to do a small field note, the two had the same English name, and they happened to have a lonely surname, and they both had a lot in common in terms of thinking, and over time, the two appreciated each other and became good friends.

According to Shaw Brothers' regulations, John Woo is just an assistant director and is not qualified to live in the Shaw Brothers dormitory at all, and Jiang David has become an emperor superstar, so he gave up the dormitory room to John Woo, and has helped John Woo many times in terms of life, he always uses a bamboo tube to hold the money, and after seeing John Woo, he doesn't speak, so he pours out all the money inside. The two Ahn sympathize with each other, Wu Yusen now hears that Master Zhang Che is leaving the Shaw Brothers, and he hesitates in his heart and doesn't know what to do, the future is very slim, who will hire him?

So he was waiting for Jiang David, hoping to hear Jiang David's suggestion, if he could, he wanted to ask Jiang David to help him introduce a job, after all, Jiang David also had to follow the master to Taiwan, and he had to have a job to eat.

Jiang David didn't come as promised, but another person pushed the door in. "Ah, John, drinking by himself?"

"Mr. Wang, why are you here?" Wu Yusen looked up and saw Wang Xiaohu carrying a hanging basket in his hand, in which lay several bottles of French red wine covered with ice cubes, and a blue cigarette under his arm.

"I heard from Uncle Sixth that you have been bored lately, so I came over to take a look." Wang Xiaohu put the hanging basket in his hand on the table, handed over the blue cigarette and said, "I don't know what brand you like to smoke, so I took one casually." ”

Wang Xiaohu's actions stunned Wu Yusen on the spot, and in Zhang's class, he has a nickname called "French Fly".

It's about John Woo having long hair at that time, often smoking the kind of French cigarettes in the blue box, and liking to drink. made Jiang David and others think that he came back from studying in France, but it turned out that he was not, he just liked to smoke French cigarettes, drink French wine and watch French movies.

This clue was overheard by Wang Xiaohu and immediately remembered it, so when he came to visit Wu Yusen this time, he focused on bringing these two things, and Wu Yusen was a little moved by being so careful. "Mr. Wang, sit down, I'll make you tea."

Wang Xiaohu waved his hand and said, "No need, let's drink this today." As he spoke, he took out the French red wine in the hanging basket, and did not use the red wine driver, his thumb and index finger were forcefully hooped, and he did not see much effort, and the cork had been done by him, and then he picked up the goblet on the table and said: "I drank some red wine with Uncle Sixth last night, although this thing is sour and astringent, and I am used to drinking too much." I heard that these bottles of wine are a hundred years old, and I can't drink them like this, so you might as well taste one or two. ”

When Wu Yusen heard this, he immediately picked up the wine glass and shook it a few times, then took a small sip, smacked his lips and tasted it for a moment before saying, "Mr. Wang, you have been deceived, this kind of red wine is only 50 years old at most." ”

"Ugh! Or are you amazing, and you tasted the age all of a sudden. Why don't you sit down and talk while we drink. Wang Xiaohu suggested with a smile.

Wu Yusen loves wine, and loves French red wine even more, so he sat down politely at the moment, and after taking a sip of red wine greedily, he shook his head and sighed: "50 years tastes good." After that, he woke up from his intoxication and asked, "Is there anything that Mr. Wang came to me today?" ”
