330 Convince John to change jobs
"Actually, there is nothing important, but I heard that you are bored in the dormitory alone, so I came to see you. Wang Xiaohu smiled lightly, raised his wine glass and said, "It's boring to drink alone, isn't it?" ”
Wu Yusen looked at Wang Xiaohu fixedly, unable to guess his intentions from his expression, so he said with a wry smile: "It's really rare for Mr. Wang to come with high-end red wine and cigarettes like this." ”
"Hehe, if I say that I want to learn from those upper-class people to drink red wine, but I am afraid that I will be deceived when buying red wine, so I came to you to ask you how to distinguish red wine, you will definitely not believe it."
"Mr. Wang is really interesting." John Woo grinned, of course he wouldn't believe Wang Xiaohu's words, just because of Wang Xiaohu's status in the Hong Kong film industry at this time, coupled with his dignity on an equal footing with Run Run Shaw, he was willing to deign to come to the dormitory to ask him about red wine, this reason is very fake, and the fake makes people see at a glance that it is lying.
Wang Xiaohu poured down the red wine in one gulp, touched the wine stains between his lips, poured himself another glass and said: "Can you not call me Mr. Wang, I sound very harsh, you can call me Ah Hu, or call me by my name directly." ”
"I'll call you Brother Tiger." Drinking people's soft mouths, Wu Yusen said: "Brother Tiger, don't tease me, tell me the real reason." ”
"Okay." Wang Xiaohu spread his hands, looked at Wu Yusen and said, "Zhang Che is going to Taiwan, what do you think?" ”
Wu Yusen wanted to drink, but after hearing this, the wine glass stopped between his lips, and after staring at Wang Xiaohu for a long time, he followed Wang Xiaohu's example and poured down most of the red wine in one gulp. "Brother Tiger, where did you know this news?"
Wang Xiaohu poured him red wine, and replied: "It's not right for you to drink red wine like this, you should taste it in small sips." ”
"Didn't you drink like that just now?"
"Well, I just don't feel like I can drink it in one gulp, and I don't feel it when I drink it in one gulp." Wang Xiaohu sighed and shook his head and said, "Actually, I can't enjoy this thing, you better make me a cup of tea." ”
"Haha." Wu Yusen laughed, Wang Xiaohu gave him a very straightforward feeling, and he had a surname, nearly 1,000 yuan of red wine was drunk as white wine, and finally complained that the red wine was not enjoyable, this outspokenness made Wu Yusen feel more cordial. After making tea for Wang Xiaohu, he sat opposite again, this time drinking red wine no longer in big gulps, but in small sips. "I seem to have asked a nonsense just now, you are now one of the major shareholders of TVB, and you will naturally know a lot of things about Shaw Brothers."
Although Run Run Shaw divides TVB and movies into two large groups to operate, he still likes to discuss many important decisions with the elders, and now Wang Xiaohu has become the best person for Shaw to confide in.
"You're right. Uncle Six told me the news last night, so I'm going to talk to you about this today. Wang Xiaohu blew the tea, and then said, "I wonder if you have thought about your future path?" ”
Wu Yusen put down the wine glass, shook his head and said, "No, I'm very confused about what I want to do in the future." Mr. Zhang trusts me very much, and he entrusts me with all the important work, whether it is post-production, reports from various assistant directors, or production by other co-directors. If there is anything to be said by different collaborators, I will convey it to Mr. Zhang Che. And some of the problems that Mr. Zhang saw when he watched the film were also conveyed by me. ”
"Isn't that great? If I were you, I would choose to go to Taiwan with him instead of worrying about drinking here. Wang Xiaohu said. This is the thing he wonders the most, since Zhang Che is so good to Wu Yusen, as Zhang Che's right-hand man, he should go to Taiwan to help Zhang Che.
"It's not like that!" Wu Yusen's voice suddenly trembled a little and said: "If that's the case, it would be good, although Mr. Zhang trusts me, but this kind of work has been repeated for three or four years, and gradually I feel like an ugly middleman, and I will be very embarrassed to those directors if this continues." So I"
Wu Yusen couldn't go on when he said this, Wang Xiaohu took over the topic and added: "So after hearing the news that Zhang Che went to Taiwan, you don't plan to go over?" ”
"Yes." Wu Yusen nodded and said with great difficulty: "I feel a lot of pressure to go on like this. ”
"I see!" Wang Xiaohu groaned in a low voice, and after taking a sip of tea, he suddenly said to Wu Yusen: "Ah John, do you want to be a director?" ”
"Yes!" Wu Yusen blurted out, feeling a little abrupt, and said self-deprecatingly: "Brother Tiger is really joking, no one like me may be willing to invite me." ”
"You can learn from a half-hanger, not to mention that you have been studying with Zhang Che for four years, I heard that Zhang Che is good at teaching by example, and he doesn't like words, you should learn a lot from him, how can you say that you are half-hanging?" Wang Xiaohu said with a smile: "Look at me, I was illiterate two years ago, and now I don't rely on my hard work to eat in the circle." ”
Wang Xiaohu patted John Woo on the shoulder and said, "If you want to be a director, come to me." Don't rush to give me an answer first, think about it, there is still a lot of time now, you can drink these wines slowly, I still have some things to be busy, this is my company and home phone, after you figure it out, remember to notify me anyway. ”
After Wang Xiaohu said these words, he got up and left, Wu Yusen was stunned, if it weren't for the red wine and French cigarettes in front of him, as well as the contact information in his hand to remind him, he would feel that this was a dream!
"Ahh Hey, did you make a fortune and drink such high-end red wine? I don't know how long it took, Jiang David's voice sounded in Wu Yusen's ears.
"Ah, no, I didn't buy these wines." Wu Yusen shook his head a little and said.
Jiang David poured a glass of red wine, tasted it and praised it: "It's not bad, it should be 50 years old." You can't be stolen, right? ”
"Please, even if I want to steal, I should go to your bar and steal it, your wine store there is much more upscale than this." There is a small bar in Jiang David's mansion, which is furnished with various styles of drinks, and Wu Yusen's biggest pleasure after work every day is to sit down at the bar in Jiang David's house and pour himself a drink, and by the time Jiang David got up, he was already drunk. "These wines were given to me by Wang Xiaohu."
"Wang Xiaohu?" Hearing this, Jiang David immediately narrowed his eyes and asked cautiously, "What is he here for?" ”
John Woo did not hide it from his good friend, and said directly: "He came to ask me to be a director." ”
"Did you promise him?" Jiang David asked urgently.
John Wu shook his head and said, "Not yet, but I'm thinking about it carefully." You should know that I don't want to go to Taiwan with Mr. Zhang, so you should not tell him about this matter, lest he be sad. ”
Jiang David bit his lip and thought for a long time before he sighed and said: "Ah John, if you really don't want to go to Taiwan, Wang Xiaohu is your best choice, his Concord Company is now in full swing, and he called for a 15% stake with Boss Shao, both his character and the company's strength are much stronger than Jiahe." So, I support you to go to Concord. ”
"What about Wang Kaiyi? He seems to have just talked to Zou Wenhuai about reading the film, and he called me last night to invite me. John Woo was a little embarrassed.
"Ignore Golden Harvest. As far as I know, there are certain problems with Zou Wenhuai's character, otherwise Bruce Lee and Wang Xiaohu would not have left Golden Harvest, and I heard that Luo Wei had another secret when he left Golden Harvest, it seems that Zou Wenhuai brought Luo Wei a green hat. Jiang David analyzed very calmly: "Wang Xiaohu is different, he is better to the employees of the company, you see how popular Qi Xiaofu is by him now, to be honest, Dillon and I are jealous, if it weren't for the kindness of the master, maybe we would go to him." ”
Wu Yusen's heart was moved, yes, by Jiang David's analysis, his favorability towards Wang Xiaohu increased again, "I"
"Master, I'll hide it from you." Jiang David patted him on the shoulder vigorously and said, "Ah John, go to Xiehe, do it over there for a few years, Wang Xiaohu is a person who values love and righteousness, take out your strength in the Shaw Brothers, he will not treat you badly." When you become a great director in the future, Dillon and I will go to support you. ”
"Haha, good!"
"Cheers, for the great director!"
"Cheers, I wish you all the best in Taiwan!"
For an idea to become a reality, there must be an azimination. It just so happened that Wang Xiaohu appeared at this time, and Jiang David added fuel to the fire, so Wu Yusen decided to secretly cross Chen Cang.
Wu Yusen wanted to leave but didn't dare to speak out loud, because he respected Zhang Che very much and was afraid that he would be unhappy if he heard it. So he wrote a letter overnight, slipped it through the crack in his door, and left that night. He said in the letter: Director Zhang, I am grateful to you, I have learned a lot from you, but now that I have grown, it is time to read, since there are opportunities for development outside, I will leave you for the time being and go out to break through......
In the Concord Company, Wang Xiaohu invited the Seven Xiaofu brothers to the office, and on the desk, Wang Xiaohu placed ten red envelopes with their respective names written on them, and a bunch of keys were placed next to each red envelope. Sammo Hung, Jackie Chan, Yuan Biao, Yuan Heping and others stood there looking at each other.
Wang Xiaohu knocked on the table, coughed lightly twice and said: "OK, everyone has worked hard in the past six months, our Concord Company has achieved very good box office results, these are your box office dividends, in addition, each of you will also get a villa in Kowloon Tong." ”
The office was quiet, Sammo Hung, Jackie Chan and others swallowed their saliva and looked at those red envelopes and keys after listening to Wang Xiaohu's opening remarks, originally they thought it would be very good to get dividends, but now Wang Xiaohu smashed them with a big surprise: one villa per person! That's far more than dividends
