609 Opportunity to open up the Japanese market
In front of the Daxiong Treasure Hall of Shaolin Temple, dozens of people are confronting each other. 【】
On one side were several staff members led by Ma Chuyun of the Concord Company and two soldiers of the guard regiment.
On one side is a sightseeing group composed of two leaders of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and dozens of people from the Shaolin Temple Alliance.
A bespectacled leader of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said to Ma Chuyun with a cold face: "What's the matter with you, such a bad attitude towards foreign guests, who is your leader, let him come to see me!" ”
Ma Chuyun has just joined Concord Company for less than two years, and he was recommended to Wang Xiaohu through the relationship of Wu Yusen, he once worked as a producer in TVB for a short time, and then worked as a director assistant in Siyuan Company for two years.
Ma Chuyun is very keen on military, war, adventure and other genres, and often exchanges with John Woo about various firearms, but John Woo doesn't like to play with firearms, when he filmed "First Blood" in the United States, he took Ma Chuyun to help for a period of time, which can be regarded as a wish of this military fan.
When John Woo returned to Hong Kong, Ma Chuyun was assigned to the crew of "Shaolin Temple" for training, and is currently working as an assistant director to Wang Xiaohu.
"Our brother Tiger said that no one can take pictures after they join the crew!" Ma Chuyun said confidently: "This is a trade secret!" ”
Ma Chuyun's words are not false at all, "Shaolin Temple" is currently in the comprehensive stage of trying long shots, and all the overhead track layout methods are the results of a long time conceived by the photographers of Concord Company, which may be easy to say, but it is very complicated to do, and if it is learned by outsiders, it is very detrimental to the development of the company.
Just now, Ma Chuyun and several employees of Concord were called by Zhang Yuan to dismantle the aerial rail car from the mountain gate to the Daxiong Treasure Palace, and when dealing with the place where Zhang Yimou had marked, everyone was very cautious, after all, they would have to reshoot in this place tomorrow morning, and if there was a slight mistake, the shots would be incoherent, and these could not be perfected by post-editing.
So Ma Chuyun personally came to the stage to deal with these parts, and was busy with his work, a team of people came in from the mountain gate, and they took pictures from time to time, Ma Chuyun frowned and stepped forward to explain that "Shaolin Temple" is currently being filmed here, and photography is not allowed in the crew.
One person even muttered a few words to the translator, and the leader of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said: "It's just taking pictures, and it's not a big deal." ”
Ma Chuyun didn't do it, he theorized a few words, and seeing that these people still didn't listen, he snatched the cameras of a few people who took pictures in a hurry.
The group of foreign guests definitely didn't agree, and a few of them were about to come up to grab the camera, and at this time, two or three soldiers in charge of the crew's security work rushed over when they heard the news and stopped the conflict on the spot.
After asking what had happened, one of the soldiers went to inform Zhao Gang, and the remaining two guards were in front of the employees of Concord to ensure that they were not bullied, and the soldiers of the guard regiment had established a very deep relationship with the employees of Concord in the past two years.
said that the other party is from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, as long as you dare to touch a single hair of the employees of Xiehe, these people don't care who they are, they will still do it, and if something happens, there will be head Zhao wiping his ass!
When the people of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs saw the intervention of this group of guards, they did not want to entangle with these "Royal Forest Army", after all, these people were not easy to offend, so they could only get angry at the employees of Concord.
"Then you can't confiscate the cameras of foreign guests, and hit foreign guests!" The leaders of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs were furious when they heard this: "What kind of business secrets are not confidential, and if you offend foreign guests, are you Brother Hu responsible?" ”
"Who's hitting someone!" Ma Chuyun was not happy when he heard it, and said in broken Chinese: "It's just a light touch!" ”
"That's also disrespectful to foreign guests, I tell you, hurry up and return the camera, and apologize to the foreign guests, otherwise this matter is not over today, I will report to the leader when I turn around and drive all your crew away!" Another official from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs pinched his waist and said menacingly.
"Lao Chen, don't talk so much, you don't know, the above still attaches more importance to "Shaolin Temple" now." Hearing this, my colleague hurriedly reminded in a whisper.
"Then these people from Hong Kong are lawless?" Lao Chen glared and said, "If we don't handle the matter well today, how can we report to the above?" ”
Just when these people were in trouble, Wang Xiaohu's voice came from five or six meters away: "I don't need you to report, I will talk to Liao Gong on the phone in person!" ”
Wang Xiaohu walked over quickly, Zhao Gang followed closely, and the two were followed by Jet Li, Xiong Xinxin, Ji Chunhua, Yu Hai and others, each holding a sword, gun, sword and halberd in their hands, very fierce.
As soon as this group of fierce men appeared, they directly startled the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and a group of people from the Shaolin Boxing Alliance who accompanied them.
"Brother Tiger" Ma Chuyun moved his mouth and handed over the cameras in his hand: "They take pictures." ”
"Hmm." Wang Xiaohu nodded and said, "I probably understand the matter." Then he said to Zhao Gang: "Lao Zhao, you don't have a good night, I swore that no one in the crew would take pictures casually, how do you say this matter?" ”
Zhao Gang complained bitterly in his heart, and said stubbornly: "According to the regulations, the camera will be confiscated and all the film will be destroyed." ”
After saying this, Zhao Gang hated to slap the two of them, and said in his heart, Lao Wang, don't you embarrass me, you obviously know what these people are about, and they are international friends specially instructed by Duke Liao.
Zhao Gang finished talking about the rules set during the filming of "Shocking", and hurriedly stretched out his head and whispered in Wang Xiaohu's ear: "Lao Wang, I beg you, let's make do with it in advance, it's not going to end well if it's too big!" ”
Wang Xiaohu snorted coldly and said to Zhao Gang: "Don't blame me for not reminding you, it took us Hong Kong filmmakers more than ten years of hard work to barely break free from the far-reaching influence of Akira Kurosawa's martial arts films. Isn't it just to make Hong Kong films and mainland films representative of Asia? ”
"Although it is said that the film industry also has its own secrets of long-shot shooting, but people will not share them with you, these are our own years of experience, why give it to others for free?"
"And"
"Lao Wang, don't say it, I know what I should say!"
Zhao Gang didn't wait for Wang Xiaohu to finish speaking, his hands kept moving, and he quickly took out the film from several cameras, and tore them all to expose.
"Nani~" "Baa~"
When the little devil saw this, he immediately panicked. The faces of the two leaders of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs were even more pale, how ugly and ugly they were.
"Head Zhao, you!"
Zhao Gang pulled his face and sneered: "If you have any objections, you can call Zhongnanhai, the relevant provisions of the Ministry of Culture and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs have also mentioned the clause to ensure that Mr. Wang Xiaohu is not violated by any technical aspects during the filming in the mainland, and to ensure the absolute confidentiality of Mr. Wang Xiaohu during the filming process." Therefore, these things must be destroyed, even if I am not mixed in this position, I have to complete the tasks assigned by the leader! ”
"Lao Zhao, I found you today!" Wang Xiaohu was overjoyed when he heard this, patted Zhao Gang's shoulder and whispered approvingly: "It's okay, if you can't get along, come with me to Hong Kong and be my bodyguard or driver, if you don't want to do the job of protecting people, you can turn around and be a dead runner in the movie!" ”
Zhao Gang grinned dryly, and said in his heart that it was too condescending to run tricks, and it was better to work as a bodyguard decently.
The atmosphere became even more awkward with Zhao Gang's thunderbolt wrist, and Wang Xiaohu's gang looked at the dozens of people in the Shaolin Boxing Alliance with fearlessness.
The two officials of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs gasped vigorously, obviously, they never expected that Zhao Gang would be so faceless and make it impossible for them to progress in the next step, and all these were a few words from Wang Xiaohu, and they had already begun to complain in their hearts that the leaders above were too partial to this Hong Kong person.
At this moment, a woman's voice came from the Shaolin Boxing Alliance.
"Fujita-kun?!"
Wang Xiaohu frowned, followed the voice, and saw behind the two foreign ministry officials, there was a woman wearing the costume of the Shaolin Boxing Alliance, and the voice jumped out of her mouth.
Fujita-kun, how long is this going to be!
Wang Xiaohu expressed considerable dissatisfaction with this title, and eight years ago, he and Bruce Lee went to Yuben for a so-called friendly visit, and at the airport, a large number of young men and girls called themselves "Fujita-kun" at the top of their voices.
Wang Xiaohu also strongly protested to the media at that time, Lao Tzu is a dignified Chinese, not your innermost Fujita Gang, who played himself once in "Jingwumen", and was defined as himself, which is the rule, it is estimated that this trick is also learned by Korean sticks!
Wang Xiaohu didn't get angry yet, so he heard the woman who said to the translator, and then the translator smiled and said: "This is Miss Zong Yougui of our Shaolin Boxing Alliance, since the death of his father Mr. Zong Daochen, Miss Zong Yougui is fully responsible for the affairs of the alliance." ”
"Miss Zong Yugui is very sorry for the title just now."
When the translator said this, the Miss Zong Yougui smiled and bowed to Wang Xiaohu and apologized.
"Lao Wang, what's the situation?" Zhao Gang was stunned for a moment.
Wang Xiaohu pouted and said: "I don't understand, eighty percent of this woman is my fan in Yueben, and the person I played in "Jingwumen" is called Fujita Gang. ”
"Oh, I remember, that tough robot!" Zhao Gang nodded and praised: "To be honest, your acting skills were so tender at that time, but the little devil you performed was very powerful, I guess even the little devil himself couldn't shoot such a strong effect." ”
"Because his mother is too strong, he is called Fujita Fujita by the little devil, and Lao Tzu is an authentic Chinese!" Wang Xiaohu was aggrieved and cried out.
"I know, I can understand!" Zhao Gang said with a smile.
When the two were muttering, the translator over there was not idle, which was roughly the same as Wang Xiaohu guessed.
The new head of the Shaolin Boxing Alliance is really one of Wang Xiaohu's fans, and the female head didn't recognize it when she saw Wang Xiaohu, and when she heard Zhao Gang say "Mr. Wang Xiaohu", she looked at it for a long time before she sat down with Fujita Gang.
As a die-hard fan of Wang Xiaohu, the head of Zongyou's noble daughter naturally understood Wang Xiaohu's temper, so he hurriedly conveyed his apology through the translator like Wang Xiaohu, saying that he had made a mistake in excitement just now, and asked Mr. Wang Xiaohu to forgive Yunyun.
When the words of apology came out, the atmosphere of stalemate and embarrassment suddenly disappeared.
Zhao Gang was so excited that he was dying, he was still thinking about how to report today's matter to the above, after all, Duke Liao had already opened the golden mouth, and he also defended Wang Xiaohu's interests today, but as soon as Wang Xiaohu left, he had to find ways to smooth this offending thing through, otherwise it would be difficult to mix in the court in the future.
Now it's okay, looking at Zong Yougui's posture, it seems that he admires Wang Xiaohu extraordinarily, don't you look at those big watery eyes flashing with excitement and star eyes, and unceremoniously say, this female head is a nymphomaniac!
"Lao Wang, it's time to show your beautiful man's tricks, take down this little devil girl, and the matter between me and Guo Peng and Zhang Yun will be solved!"
Guo Peng and Zhang Yun are the first to maintain Ma Chuyun and other members of the two guards of the Concord staff, from the perspective of their own work, both of them are loyal to their duties, and they must find ways to help their brothers exonerate themselves as leaders, such as dismantling the camera to expose all the film, and they must not let them do it, otherwise they will lose the hearts of the people in the guard regiment in the future.
"How far you go, how far do you roll!" Wang Xiaohu raised his eyebrows to see that Zhao Gang was angry and said: "To be honest, just rush to Fujita Fujita just now, Lao Tzu will not accept her apology." ”
"Don't! Count me as a fart! Zhao Gang hurriedly closed his mouth and glanced at the two stunned foreign ministry officials opposite him with a smile.
Those two are also monkey spirits, how can they not understand the truth of borrowing a donkey from the slope, especially the official surnamed Chen just now, when he heard that Wang Xiaohu's background was so bullish and complicated, he regretted his intestines on the spot, and said in his heart that he didn't know how many times he was lucky!
So, the two sides began to do work, the deadlock situation finally collapsed, seeing that it was time to have lunch, the people of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs hurriedly arranged vehicles and booked a banquet, on the one hand, in order to wash the dust for the foreign guests of the Shaolin Boxing Alliance, and on the other hand, to apologize.
Speaking of this apology, the two officials of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs were very aggrieved in their hearts, and they wanted to be aggrieved and aggrieved, but they couldn't say it, so they could only slap their faces and hold on to their fat people.
"Ma Chuyun, Guo Peng, Zhang Yun, the three of you will also go with you." When he was about to get into the car, Wang Xiaohu called the three parties over.
Ma Chuyun is naturally the only one who obeys Wang Xiaohu's fate, Guo Peng and Zhang Yun looked at Zhao Gang first, and after seeing Zhao Gang nodding, they followed and got into the car. I have been in the guard regiment for so many years, and there have been a few such things, but I am not as happy as I am today!
"Mr. Wang Xiaohu, why haven't I seen your movies in the past few years?"
While eating, the female head of the sect, Miss Zong Yougui, sat next to Wang Xiaohu and asked with the help of the interpreter.
Wang Xiaohu grinned and said: "I don't know the specific things, since "Raptors Across the River", our Concord movies are not allowed to be released in the book. Maybe it's because the political axe has introduced corresponding protective measures, right? ”
(Omit the translation relationship, otherwise it will be troublesome to write.) )
Zong Yougui shook his head and said: "Maybe it's not like this, we still have a large number of fans looking forward to seeing Mr. Wang's movie, you must know that I am the head of your fan group." ”
Wang Xiaohu laughed dryly and didn't speak, he couldn't put some of the things he did in Yueben on the table to make it clear, on the one hand, this is not a glorious thing in itself, once it is exposed to the media, it will definitely block himself on a large scale, and if he doesn't make trouble, he will play nonsense like "Wang Xiaohu killed people and set fire to Yueben, and should be tried by this court according to xxx regulations".
On the other hand, he is in protective measures, after all, he is now married and his child is about to turn four years old, and he does not want his family to be attacked by the Yamaguchi-gumi.
From Zong Yougui's words, Wang Xiaohu knew that the ban on himself was only a private act of the Yamaguchi-gumi, and it was estimated that whoever screened the movies of the Concord Company, the members of the Yamaguchi-gumi would go over and smash the scene and other means, forcing that no theater in the Yamaguchi-ben dared to show the movies produced by the Concord Company.
Seeing that Wang Xiaohu didn't speak, Zong Yougui suddenly asked, "Mr. Wang, are you interested in cooperating with us?" ”
"Cooperation? What kind of cooperation? Wang Xiaohu put down the chopsticks in his hand, frowned at Zong Yougui, and said, "If it is the cooperation between China and China in martial arts, I am afraid that Miss Zong Yougui will be disappointed." ”
Zong Yougui was embarrassed when he heard this, Wang Xiaohu and Bruce Lee fought against several black belt masters in the karate circle, but everyone knew about it.
She shook her head and said: "That's not the case, at present, we are carrying out friendly exchanges with the Chinese side, and we say that the Shaolin Boxing Alliance enjoys certain preferential treatment in diplomacy, and the cooperation I want to say is: our Boxing Alliance will come forward to represent the release of "Shaolin Temple" in this version, I don't know if Mr. Wang will agree?" ”
"Oh? Are you sure? Wang Xiaohu smiled and said, "You must know that I am not very popular in Yueben." ”
"If it's a purely personal friendship, it may cause a backlash from some people." Zong Yougui said with a smile: "But Mr. Wang is currently representing China, and China is currently in a good honeymoon period, I believe that this political axe should open the door to convenience." ”
Seeing that Wang Xiaohu was still thinking about this question, Zong Yougui continued at the moment: "I also heard that Mr. Wang is also well-known in the international film industry, don't you want your company's movies to be released in our book?" ”
Wang Xiaohu frowned and looked at Zong Yougui for a long time, and found that there was nothing suspicious about her motives and tone of voice, so he opened his mouth and said, "Conditions! ”
He didn't believe that this woman who had just been doing it for a few months would be so kind to help Concord Pictures open up the market!
