On July 12, 1975, the waiting hall of Hong Kong's Kai Tak Airport was full of people, except for dozens of employees of Concord Company, the rest of the people present were media reporters who rushed to hear the news. 【Reading.com】

Since the beginning of July, a group of people from Kai Tak Airport will come out every two or three days, including foreigners with tall heights and excited Chinese faces, and according to reliable sources, they are all special effects personnel hired by Concord from Hollywood.

Media reporters with a keen sense of smell immediately launched an investigation, and they really found some clues from inside, not only the airport, but also the Victoria Harbor a few days ago that one-third of the cargo ships sent from the United States were booked by Concord.

Here are boxes of goods, and there are batches of people, and now Hong Kong citizens can guess that Wang Xiaohu is going to make a big move!

But no one knows how big this action is, and there is no news from within Concord and TVB, when interviewing Run Run Shaw, Uncle Six was talking about gourds and scoops over there, and his posture of pretending to be deaf and dumb on this matter really aroused the interest of Hong Kong citizens.

Curiosity drove them to inquire about the time of Wang Xiaohu's return to Hong Kong, and they were divided into three teams: one group stayed at Wang Xiaohu's home in Camerun Road, one group stayed at the door of Concord Company, and the other group took turns camping at the airport to wait.

In fact, even if these reporters don't chase and intercept like this, Wang Xiaohu knows that it is impossible for him to keep a low profile, and the actions he made in front of him will definitely attract the attention of the Hong Kong media, so he has no intention of avoiding anyone.

After getting off the plane, Wang Xiaohu took medicine for airsickness, and after his spirit eased up, he walked directly to the front of the team with his head held high, and behind him was Steven who was holding a suitcase. Spielberg, George. Lucas, Grant. McQueen, Winterdall and other four generals.

Maybe someone is interested in Grant. McQueenin feels very strange, if you know that he is the hero behind "Jaws", the chief engineer of mechanical manufacturing of "Blues" Shark, and the model designer of "Star Wars", you can know why Wang Xiaohu arrested him to come to Hong Kong.

"Guys, be mentally prepared, because the journalists in Hong Kong are fanatical, and compared to them, those journalists in Hollywood are like docile little sheep!" Before walking into the waiting hall, Wang Xiaohu saw the crowds in the hall through the glass window, and stopped with a smile and said to Spielberg and others.

"Boss, we've seen a big scene!" Spielberg protested: "It won't make you feel bad!" ”

"We don't seem to have many fans here, this is your home base, and if those guys are too fanatical, it's just to welcome you home." Lucas shrugged disapprovingly and said, "It has nothing to do with us!" ”

It wasn't until he saw the crowds of reporters and fans that he really realized what that passion meant.

The entire waiting hall was a sea of cheers, fans shouted Wang Xiaohu's name loudly, reporters broke through the human wall erected by Qixiaofu and the security guards like wolves, long guns and short guns, and camera flashes greeted them one by one.

"Oh God! If my boss hadn't told me in advance, I would have thought that I had been robbed at the airport, and the fans and media in Hong Kong would have gone crazy. The enthusiasm of the Orientals surprised Lucas, who was accustomed to seeing big scenes.

Wang Xiaohu raised his hand in response to his fans and the media.

"Mr. Wang Xiaohu, I heard that you are going to shoot a big production this time, can you tell us about the approximate investment amount?" "It's hard to say, as little as tens of millions, as much as hundreds of millions." Wang Xiaohu said with a smile on his face.

Hundreds of millions!

Although the lounge was noisy, you could still hear the surprised voices of many people gasping for air.

What is the concept of billions? That's the amount that ordinary people can only think about in their dreams in their lifetime, but now Wang Xiaohu said that he would invest hundreds of millions, if he didn't brag about it, it was very likely to be true.

It turns out that in just four years, Wang Xiaohu has been worth hundreds of millions! Now the media is in the spirit, what does a movie with an investment of hundreds of millions have to look like?

There is no doubt that an investment of hundreds of millions of dollars is a big investment whether it is placed in a small place like Hong Kong or a world-class film dynasty like Hollywood, and even no company or individual in the world dares to invest in a movie so risky, after all, although the movie is very profitable these years, in the concept of normal people, it is okay to invest millions or tens of millions for a movie, but hundreds of millions of ...... Unless the person is crazy, a person in a bit of a normal mind would not say such a crazy thing.

"Is Wang Xiaohu crazy?" This is the first reaction of all the reporters and fans present, most of them swallowed their saliva, looking at Wang Xiaohu with puzzled eyes, it is hard to believe that this kind of words came out of Wang Xiaohu's mouth, after all, in the past four years, Wang Xiaohu left everyone with the impression that he was mature and steady, and treated people sincerely.

When a person you know very well suddenly says such arrogant words, everyone really doesn't react.

I don't know how long it took, maybe it was a minute, maybe three minutes, maybe it was longer, "Ming Pao" reporter Yi Xiujia reacted immediately and asked Wang Xiaohu: "Mr. Wang, with such a big investment, do you plan to gather the top directors in Hong Kong and Hollywood to shoot?" ”

Wang Xiaohu gave Yi Xiujia a very approving look, pulled Spielberg and Lucas, who were already dumbfounded behind him, to the media, and introduced with a smile: "That's right, that's what I plan, reporter friends, aim your camera at these two handsome guys from the United States, this bearded guy is called Spielberg, he just filmed a scary "Jaws" in the United States, oh, secretly tell you that the North American box office of "Jaws" has exceeded 150 million US dollars, and he is definitely an expert at making money. ”

"Wow!" The reporters looked at Spielberg with their mouths wide open.

"150 million!"

"This kind of result should be in the top 10 at the North American box office, right?" A reporter whispered.

"Maybe it's the top three!" Someone else said.

"Hollywood is really a movie empire, any movie can have a box office of over 100 million, or dollars, look at our Hong Kong, hey!"

Just when everyone was talking about envying the American Niu Cha's directing level, a dissatisfied voice came out of the crowd: "You sigh fart, haven't you seen that bearded man respectfully and respectfully our Tiger Brother, in my opinion, he must be our Tiger Brother's little brother, besides, Brother Tiger's "Rocky" and "Home Alone" box office exceeded 400 million! ”

"That's right!" As soon as everyone was reminded by this sentence, they suddenly realized, and thought about it carefully, isn't this the truth, where can that bearded man go, you must know that the box office record since the opening of the United States is still maintained by our brother Tiger, thinking of these, the media reporters swept away the previous frustration, all of them held their heads high, in their minds, Wang Xiaohu is a national hero galloping in the Hollywood film industry, and those foreigners may not be able to catch up!

Spielberg saw a group of people taking pictures of themselves again, staring at themselves in surprise, blinking his eyes a little nervously, secretly pulling Wang Xiaohu's clothes and saying, "Boss, what did you just say?" ”

"I said that you were attracted by the charm of Hong Kong, and blew about the miracle you created in Hollywood, and said that you are now single, and you plan to find an oriental beauty in Hong Kong to discuss life, so they became interested in you, did you see that big-eyed, handsome-looking female reporter?" Wang Xiaohu pointed to Zhang Meijuan, a reporter from the "Hong Kong Women's Daily", and said.

Spielberg nodded and said, "I see, but she doesn't fit my aesthetic!" ”

"You don't care if she meets your aesthetics, anyway, that female reporter is interested in you now, you can try to hook up." Wang Xiaohu smiled evilly.

Without waiting for Spielberg to reply, he introduced Lucas to the media reporters in Hong Kong: "Hey, don't just look at the bearded handsome guy, I will introduce you to this shy man with gold wire glasses, his name is George. Lucas, who has won the 46th Academy Awards for Best Director, Best Picture, Best Editing, and Best "Wang Xiaohu said n Oscar awards in one breath, and the surprised reporters could hold two eggs in their mouths, so he breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Well, what I said just now are all nominations!" ”

"Cut!" After the reporters noticed that they had been fooled, they cast disdainful glances at Wang Xiaohu, but even so, they also knew Lucas's strength, this seemingly crepe Yankee is definitely more powerful in Hollywood, if he hadn't met our tiger brother, he would definitely have won the little gold man in the 46th Oscars, no matter how powerful, in short, our tiger brother is still the best!

After introducing the two right-hand men, Wang Xiaohu clapped his hands and quieted everyone in the waiting hall, "Talking so much nonsense is nothing more than telling everyone that I want to shoot a special effects movie, the name of the film is "Shocking", and the story is related to earthquakes, so these guys are here to help me complete the special effects shooting." ”

"Mr. Wang, with such a big investment and such a strong lineup, when do you plan to shoot "Earthbreaking"?"

"Special effects are a lot of money and a waste of time." Wang Xiaohu spread his hands and said: "The initial plan needs to be filmed for more than a year, and you will definitely be able to see it this time next year." ”

Wang Xiaohu smiled in his heart after speaking, a year later, the Tangshan earthquake is over.
