Run Run Shaw played a trick very cunningly, dealing with Wang Xiaohu for half a year, so that he knew that Wang Xiaohu was a clever young man, otherwise, he might be deceived in a daze, so he smiled and said: "I want to see the quality of the script, if it is good, it will be no problem, I will not only call you back, but also spend three months to cooperate with you to make a TV series." [No pop-up novel network]"

"Very well, gentleman." Wang Xiaohu nodded and said.

"Whip the horse!" After speaking, Run Run Shaw added: "Remember that it is a well-received film, and if it does not meet these two requirements, the previous assumptions will be nullified!" ”

"Hmph, I know that Uncle Six, your old ginger is not easy to fool." Wang Xiaohu stood up and pouted and said: "Anla, although the Concord Company has a small workshop, it also takes the high-quality route like Uncle Six, and the end of each of Uncle Six's movies is not always played: Produced by Shaw Brothers, is it a good product, I will not destroy Uncle Six's golden signboard." ”

Hearing this, Run Run Shaw suddenly came to his senses, leaned over and asked, "It seems that your kid has already had a manuscript, come and listen to it." ”

"Well, it's been there for a long time, I thought I'd talk about it after a while, but now I see that the sixth uncle is in a hurry, so I have to take it out and sacrifice it!" Wang Xiaohu unceremoniously picked up the pen from Run Run Shaw's table, and playfully wrote two types on the paper, Run Run Shaw stretched his neck to look, "God hits?" ”

"Yes, God hits!" Wang Xiaohu nodded vigorously and said, "It's a god fight!" ”

"That's the title, you're not pushing me, are you?" Shaw asked, frowning.

"The absurd point is to invite God to come up, the simple point is invulnerability, the scientific point is spiritual suggestion, and according to my words, it is fooling." The word flicker had been demonized by Uncle Benshan in his previous life, and now this word from the future also made Run Run Shaw ponder for a long time before he understood it.

"God Fight" in Wang Xiaohu's memory is Liu Jialiang's first debut in Shaw Brothers, the film is starring Wang Yu, Lin Zhenqi, Dillon , Chen Guantai , Ren Dahua and others cameo works, with the help of the gimmick of the Boxer Rebellion to package the story as a sugar coating, but the content is to expound martial arts and break superstition.

The story is about a pair of masters and apprentices in Langzhong who walk the rivers and lakes, claiming to be a god and fighting miracles, and can invite the gods to communicate yin and yang. Suddenly, one day, the master wine fairy Li Bai went up, delaying the time for others to invite God, and the little apprentice who was not proficient in learning and art copied the guy on the hard top, but he didn't expect that he still looked like him, and he cheated a full meal and a few pieces of ocean! However, unfortunately, when the little apprentice was about to return to the inn and plan to meet the master, he found that the master had been arrested by the public security team, and the other party wanted to ask him for questioning! At this time, the little apprentice was like a frightened bird, panicked, and slipped away, thinking that he would have to break through the rivers and lakes without the master, and watch me go to the end of the world with one and a half moves...... After Wang Xiaohu told Run Run Shaw about the story, Run Run Shaw immediately shook his head in disagreement: "No, isn't this advocating feudal superstition?" Shaw Brothers can't make this kind of film! ”

"Sixth uncle, will you wait for me to finish talking before you shoot to death?" Wang Xiaohu rolled his eyes, and said in his heart, Run Run Shaw sometimes really takes Shaw's golden signboard too seriously, if you really value it, what kind of Fengyue film do you make. However, he still patiently said: "Although "God Fight" uses the Boxer Rebellion as a gimmick to call for martial arts, it is not to pretend to be a god and play fantasy martial arts, but to break superstition and then be able to expound martial arts. ”

"How?"

Wang Xiaohu shook his hand and said: "I can't talk to you about this, so let's do it, you call Liu Jialiang, call Wang Yu's kid, and by the way, call Lin Zhenqi over." ”

"Starring?" Shaw was still confused.

"Liu Jialiang is the director, Wang Yu and Lin Zhenqi are the starring, well, Dillon, Chen Guantai, Shi Zhongtian, Tian Qing, and Ren Dahua are all called together, it's troublesome." It's rare that Wang Xiaohu can still remember this bunch of characters so clearly, and it's no wonder that when researching kung fu comedies, all kinds of information show that "God Fight" was the first film to put forward the concept of kung fu comedy in the 70s.

Not to mention, there are many actors in Shaw Brothers, unlike every time I shoot a film, I have to compare and contrast the characters around me with the original actors, and my hair falls out every time. I have a good relationship with Shaw Brothers now, just for the convenience of selecting actors for the next step.

"Liu Jialiang as a director? Wang Yu as the starring role? Run Run Shaw frowned tightly when he heard this, then shook his head and said: "No, Liu Jialiang is still a martial arts instructor, without director qualifications, Wang Yu is still a newcomer, and I am afraid that he will not have appeal to act rashly as a leading actor, as for who is Lin Zhenqi you are talking about?" ”

"Isn't she at Shaw?" This time it was Wang Xiaohu's turn to be dumbfounded.

"I can name 90% of the Shaw Brothers employees, and I don't have an impression of the female employee you mentioned." Run Run Shaw said with certainty.

And someone you Shaw can't find? Strange! "You're looking back."

"That's not possible, the cast and crew you said are all newcomers, I'm worried about the box office quality!" Run Run Shaw shook his head like a rattle, and that kind of old stubborn surname made Wang Xiaohu have a toothache.

"Okay, okay, Uncle Six, if you don't shoot it, it's okay if you don't shoot me!" Wang Xiaohu sighed helplessly: "Let's talk about it first, don't regret it if the box office is popular!" Anyway, Wang Yu is a newcomer, you ask for the surname to lend him to me for a few days, and then return it to you after filming! ”

Wang Xiaohu's strong self-confidence made Run Run Shaw hesitate again, he squinted his eyes and stared at Wang Xiaohu for a long time, and said in his heart, Is this kid serious? reminds me of the "Righteous Hero" and "Ip Man" he filmed at the beginning, and even Jackie Chan and Yuan Biao, who are now highly praised, which one is not a newcomer, but people are still in a hot mess.

Run Run Shaw is not familiar with others, Yuan Heping father and son have worked in the Shaw Brothers, and their appearance is not good when they are in the Shaw Brothers, Yuan Xiaotian has worked hard with his two sons by virtue of his status in the circle, and he has not made the slightest progress in the Shaw Brothers, but he is terrible as soon as he runs to the side of the Concord! A "Serpentine Trickster" is now earning a lot of money at the box office (the hit screening of "The Loser" has driven the box office of "The Serpentine Trickler".) "You make me think again! Run Run Shaw propped his forehead, looking a little headache, a little hesitant, he is wandering now, if he really shoots, he will smash the Shaw Brothers' signboard when it is released, but if Wang Xiaohu is really allowed to shoot, what if it becomes popular? Didn't you give away Liu Jialiang and Wang Yu?

Run Run Shaw has lost a Bruce Lee, and Wang Xiaohu is a famous director in the circle, he hesitated, and finally slapped the table fiercely: "Okay, Uncle Sixth will be the one who will use whoever you say!" ”

"Haha, this is the sixth uncle, although it is good to be conformist, the spirit of courage and enterprising is also necessary!" Wang Xiaohu patted Run Run Shaw's ass, but the taste changed in Run Run Shaw's ears: "You kid doesn't have dirty words when he hurts people, if it were someone else, I would have kicked him a long time ago." ”

In fact, Run Run Shaw himself knows that Wang Xiaohu's evaluation is right, since Zou Wenhuai jumped out of Shaw Brothers, the prestige of the Shaw Brothers Group in the film industry has been getting lower and lower, if it weren't for Wang Xiaohu's dark horses jumping out to balance Golden Harvest, Shaw Brothers will be depressed in the film industry sooner or later, so Run Run Shaw's main force now is to develop the TVB wireless television business, and adopt the tactics of "losing the east, reaping the mulberry" to maintain the foundation of Shaw Brothers.

Stimulated by Wang Xiaohu today, Run Run Shaw finally made up his mind to use new directors to tap new artists, but he still had no score in his heart, and finally he comforted himself and said: Anyway, with Wang Xiaohu's stinky boy, if I don't want an old face from Shaw Brothers, can he, an upstart, not be stingy with his signboard? Thinking about it this way, Run Run Shaw let it go and tossed it casually!

"Uncle Six, it's not too early, you see that the crew has been waiting on the set for a long time, let's call Liu Jialiang back first, finish filming today's scene, and I can talk to him about the action design requirements of "God Fight" by the way."

Run Run Shaw raised his head and made a strange expression, stretched out his finger and pointed at his head and said, "After going around in a circle for most of the time, you still haven't forgotten your "Jingwumen", okay, it seems that if you don't give you some benefits, you kid won't help Uncle Six." ”

"Hehe, look at what you said, Uncle Six, Xiaohu is that kind of person." Wang Xiaohu sneered.

"Why not?" Run Run Shaw grabbed the phone and called the crew of "Stinging Horse", and after a long time, he hung up the phone with a somewhat embarrassed face, sighed and said: "Stinky boy, for you, I have an unpleasant quarrel with Zhang Che this time." ”

Zhang Che is one of the four directors of the Shaw Brothers, and he is an important figure in bringing the Shaw Brothers martial arts films to the peak, Wang Xiaohu can think of how difficult it is to borrow people from Zhang Che just by his toes, but Zhang Che's level has been greatly disappointed in recent years, under the joint efforts of himself and Bruce Lee's dragon and tiger, Zhang Che's style movies have gradually lost the market, but unfortunately he still has John Woo hidden under his hands!

Thinking of John Woo, Wang Xiaohu thinks of "Bloody Heroes", "The True Colors of Heroes", "Across the Seas" and "Hot Hand Detective", and even more "Mission Impossible 2", "Ultimate Target" and "Changing Face", he is the only director among Hong Kong directors who is recognized by Hollywood, he is often called the "master of violent aesthetics", in fact, his films are under the cloak of violence, focusing on the friendship between characters, as well as the relationship between people and the times, a kind of confusion about the real society, but it is best to be positive, He is good at borrowing objects to express lyricism and allegorical feelings, such as the "white dove" and "church" that often appear in his films.

"Hey, the Shaw Brothers are full of talents, but it's a pity that the sixth uncle guards Baoshan but can't do it!" Wang Xiaohu said with emotion -

I heard that tomorrow is Father's Day, oops, millet is celebrating the holiday for the first time! If you can go home tomorrow, go home, and if you can't, call your father!
