634 Where is the backbone of domestic films?

Wang Xiaohu, Xu Xiaoming, Liu Jialiang, Liu Jiahui and the crew of "Huo Yuanjia" arrived in Yanjing and had a simple meeting with the comrades of the Ministry of Culture, and then Liu Jialiang and Liu Jiahui went to Songshan Shaolin Temple to determine the location of the filming, Xu Xiaoming and the crew went to Tianjin to visit the tomb of Huo Yuanjia's former residence accompanied by comrades from the Ministry of Culture, and everything was implemented according to the original plan. 【】

Wang Xiaohu and Minister Huang once again confirmed the matters of the "Hong Kong Film Promotion Week", and at the end, Minister Huang suddenly asked: "Mr. Wang, I heard that your company has made a film in the United States that reflects the Vietnam War, and the response is good." ”

"You mean First Blood." Wang Xiaohu nodded and smiled and said: "Yes, through the soldiers who participated in the Vietnam War returned to the United States and were treated unfairly, thus explaining the irreparable wounds caused by the Vietnam War to the Americans, Minister Huang asked what is this for?" ”

Minister Huang waved his hand and said, "It's nothing, I just want to borrow a copy and release it to domestic filmmakers to learn, and we are considering making this kind of movie." ”

Wang Xiaohu was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously said: "Good idea, I will arrange for someone from the company to send it over as soon as possible." ”

"Huh." Minister Huang smiled dryly and rubbed his hands: "If the content of the film is good, we can properly consider releasing it in China, just like the previous "Garrison's Expendables". ”

"It looks like a TV series, right?" Wang Xiaohu is not very sure, because this is an old American film from the 60s.

"Yes." Minister Huang said with a smile: "The principle of domestic film introduction to foreign countries is relatively strict, and "Garrison's Expendables" was also just introduced last year, which caused a good reversal in China. ”

Wang Xiaohu frowned when he heard this, and said: "Minister Huang, in fact, there are some things I have always wanted to say after the publicity week, since you mentioned the TV series today, I will ask for the surname and say it together." ”

Minister Huang glanced at Wang Xiaohu suspiciously, could it be that he was going to launch a big operation again? You must know that the influence of Concord Company in the mainland is already very large, if he makes a bunch of messy TV series to the mainland to broadcast and ponder for a while, Minister Huang said: "Let's talk about it." ”

Wang Xiaohu smiled faintly and said, "Minister Huang should have watched "Jingwumen". ”

"I've seen it, it's very good, it's very patriotic and educational, and the martial arts action is also very exciting." Minister Huang nodded, this is a movie about the Hong Kong capital entering the mainland, [***] have seen it, and the film is also the highlight of the prelude to the "Hong Kong Film Promotion Week", which is of special significance.

"Huh." Wang Xiaohu said: "Actually, we Xiehe later filmed a TV series of the same name, which made the plot more plump and more patriotic and educational, why don't I also let people bring the copy over for Minister Huang to review?" ”

"Okay." Minister Huang is also the person in charge of the Ministry of Culture, and there is no one better than him who understands the important surname of using film, television and other media to promote patriotism, and I believe that with the appeal and influence of "Jingwumen", the TV series of the same name filmed by Wang Xiaohu should not be much worse.

"That's it." After Wang Xiaohu finished speaking, he stood up, clapped his palms and said: "Recently, the crew of "Shaolin Temple" and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs may go to the book again to determine the future film exchange between China and China. ”

"But our domestic films" Minister Huang was a little embarrassed when he heard this, the excitement just now suddenly disappeared, if nothing else, Chinese films are now a mess, and it is still quite difficult to enter the development of the capital.

"Minister Huang, sometimes our backbones should be straighter, if this film enters the country with diplomatic relations, and we are not polite, sooner or later, the next generation of China will be deeply influenced by this film, which is why I have always wanted Hollywood movies and TV series to be released in Hong Kong. When necessary, it is necessary to form a cultural counter-aggression. By the way, that script might be a bit too much. ”

"Cultural anti-aggression?" Minister Huang was stunned, after Wang Xiaohu left, he leaned back in the chair, clasped his hands around his chest and pondered, to be honest, Wang Xiaohu's last words brought him an unprecedented storm of thoughts.

Although the war is over, China's development in all aspects has been stagnant for more than a decade, and the people in China have little understanding of what is outside, which is one of the reasons why this movie caused a huge sensation when it was promoted in China a few years ago.

After the resumption of diplomatic relations between China and China, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China has successively proposed to promote films in China, and all of them are high-quality films, if it were not for the two co-productions of "Myth" and "Shaolin Temple" that were broadcast in China, the films of this book would have been on a third and fourth domestic tour, is this what Wang Xiaohu called "cultural aggression"?

Minister Huang suddenly remembered the plot in "Wangxiang", even though he was dressed in the coat of civilization and boiling, but after tearing off this coat, the essence of the movie is the inner killing and aggression of the little devil, but after literary and artistic processing, the invaders of the year turned into victims, and even grandly released in China, and earned the sympathetic tears of hundreds of thousands of Chinese people!

Almost instantly, Minister Huang figured out why Wang Xiaohu is currently frequently submitting scripts and launching plans to shoot new films, all for one purpose: to cultivate Chinese people's trust in local films, let them know that our Chinese films are far more attractive than the so-called Yueben films, and make Chinese people fall in love with Chinese films.

At present, Hong Kong films are definitely No.1 in the whole of Asia in terms of film quality and international influence, such as Zhongtian's Concord Company put down the pace of continued expansion and used his film influence to drive the development of domestic films, just like a shot in the arm on the backbone of the weak domestic cultural industry after the Cultural Revolution.

After the release of "Myth", leaders from all over the world have visited the Terracotta Warriors and Horses Museum of Qin Shi Huang, and all countries have set off a wave of Chinese culture.

Let's take a look at "Shaolin Temple" again, it has been almost two months since its release, and the domestic audience's love for the film far exceeds that of "Myth", and almost overnight, the whole country is flourishing with a new style of everyone practicing martial arts, strengthening their bodies, and protecting their families and the country, up to septuagenarians, down to three-year-old babies, who don't watch it is fascinated, and some people even want to watch it thirty or fifty times after watching it three or five times, this is the charm of the movie.

Minister Huang finally thoroughly experienced the importance of a good movie to the common people this time!

He feels that Wang Xiaohu's approach is very correct, and only by cultivating the support of Chinese people for local films can Chinese filmmakers maintain their high creative enthusiasm! If only there were a few people like Wang Xiaohu in China, at least the Ministry of Culture would not feel struggling.

"The current situation seems to be good, Mr. Wang is making every effort to promote the development of domestic films, and it seems that the exchanges between the Ministry of Culture and him should be more in-depth in the future!"

Minister Huang sighed, he felt that he should not be afraid of the influx of new films in Concord one after another, and should communicate with the above, and try to make use of these rare opportunities to accelerate the cultivation and maturity of domestic film talents.

In this way, Minister Huang also knew that the pressure on his shoulders was much heavier. However, he knows that there are no such strong conditions in China at present, and everything still depends on the young man from Hong Kong.

Although Wang Xiaohu is a native of Hong Kong, he has Chinese blood in his bones, and he is working hard to revitalize Chinese culture everywhere.

"Ashamed, ashamed!" After saying two words of shame, Minister Huang patted his forehead and concentrated on reading the script of "North and South Shaolin".

"What a mess this is! It's not rigorous at all, which dynasty and which generation? ”

Minister Huang suddenly saw a comment in the script: Southern Shaolin and Northern Shaolin are not a kind of cultural exchange and promotion, and the reunification of the north and south not only represents the progress of martial arts culture, but also contains the sincere enthusiasm of Hong Kong filmmakers to cooperate with the mainland.

"This, this should be Mr. Wang's handwriting, right?" After a long time, Minister Huang smiled and said: "Although this script is not very rigorous, there are some jokes, but it is much better than what domestic screenwriters write, Hong Kong movies are really more advanced than domestic films, not a year or two, and Mr. Wang is even more advanced than them."

Jet Li has now undergone surgery in Hong Kong, and it is impossible for him to resume normal training in the next two or three months, which is why Wang Xiaohu asked Liu Jialiang and others to contact the Ministry of Culture of China first to make full preparations, and it is necessary to leave sufficient time for Jet Li to recover.

Maybe half a year, maybe a year, if Jet Li has not recovered by then, it is necessary for Wang Xiaohu to let Liu Jialiang change the starring role.

Making a Shaolin can make Jet Li popular, but it doesn't mean that every Shaolin can keep Jet Li hot at the box office, which Wang Xiaohu knows very well, after all, "North and South Shaolin" in his previous life was not very outstanding.

Moreover, Wang Xiaohu also wanted to give Liu Jialiang a time to prepare, so that he could first design the martial arts action in place, and only with full preparation could the filming avoid endless troubles.

This is not that Wang Xiaohu is worried, he knows that the current Shaw Brothers, even a big director like Liu Jialiang, are also improvised tricks during the filming, and there are still problems with preparing to reorganize like that when he was filming "Shaolin Temple", not to mention Liu Jialiang's gang.

After returning to the Yanjing Hotel, Wang Xiaohu began to think about the next plan, he didn't know that his words invisibly doubled the pressure on Minister Huang, and there was only one thing he had to be busy with now: to send troops to the capital.

As the president of Concord, he does not allow his employees to be bullied, this is the case in Hong Kong, and the same is true for the filming of "Myth" in China back then, not to mention that Jet Li is his beloved apprentice, and he was bullied by the little devil in this book!

Even without the help of the Ministry of Culture and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Wang Xiaohu already planned to take a vote of people to ask for an explanation.

Who to bring? If it is a private act, Wang Xiaohu will inevitably take Huang Chunliang and his major martial arts sects in Hong Kong to play on the field. Now the Ministry of Culture and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs are involved, so it is impossible for Wang Xiaohu to kill the past like a bandit, but to find a reason in a decent manner, such as to promote the Shaolin culture in China, take a few real monks, bring Yu Hai and their actors, and then tie up Lao Zhao and a few guys.

Isn't it the head coach of the Shaolin Boxing League? How many black belts are there?

Wang Xiaohu didn't think too much, anyway, this time he went to Ben to protect his shortcomings, not to beat the so-called head coach, what Zong Yougui's fiancΓ© to beat Ben resolutely did not agree, to see that he would look down on the Chinese in the future.

After a night without incident, Wang Xiaohu woke up and simply washed up, changed into sportswear and ran in Yanjing City, even if he was busy, he never fell behind in the long-distance running every day, and then it was to maintain more than half an hour of Wing Chun and Xingyi boxing practice.

After entering Wang Xiaohu's stage, his Wing Chun and Xingyi have been completed, and under the influence of Jeet Kune Do philosophy, they have been merged into one, forming Wang Xiaohu's own Jeet Kune Do culture.

In the next stage, Wang Xiaohu is to absorb more experience of national martial arts masters, so that his Jeet Kune Do to a higher level, Bruce Lee took the Wing Chun plus overseas fighting fusion process, and now Wang Xiaohu wants to use advanced scientific training methods on that basis, the Chinese and foreign fighting techniques to a greater integration.

Obviously, this is a very huge topic, which is also the main reason why Wang Xiaohu invested in Shaolin, contacted the Huo family, and had a good relationship with Zhao Gang's behind-the-scenes Bajiquan.

Dissolve the tangible moves into the invisible, and make gestures to achieve great things. Wang Xiaohu felt that he had a long way to go, and he believed that if Brother Xiaolong lived, he would definitely laugh at him for being willing to go far.

"Lao Zhao, how are the preparations above?"

When eating breakfast, Zhao Gang came over on time to rub the rice, as if Wang Xiaohu's food was better than that of the guard group, and he was grabbing xiaolongbao with Wang Xiaohu with chopsticks.

"It's almost, but we can't make it too big this time, otherwise it won't be easy to explain." Zhao Gang said cautiously.

Wang Xiaohu smiled: "I'm only targeting that Nitta Maichi and letting him taste the taste of injury." ”

"Hey, I know you're not the master of peace, don't forget me if you fight black boxing!" Zhao Gang grinned, he couldn't help but like this trick of sneaking down the black fist.

"Aren't you afraid of carrying the black pot?"

Zhao Gang shook his head and said, "It's okay, I'll bite back then, saying that they want to threaten your life, and the above won't blame me!" ”

"Dizzy!"
