When 1975 was approaching, Wang Xiaohu said in front of Run Run Shaw that "Hong Kong will return sooner or later", which really scared Shao Daheng, who was more than sixty years old. 【Reading.com】

After two minutes of surprise, the first thing Run Run Shaw said when he came back to his senses was: "Xiaohu, why have you heard this news, did Jin Yong tell you!" ”

This time it was Wang Xiaohu's turn to be surprised, he shook his head in confusion and said, "No one told me, this is just my guess, why is the sixth uncle so nervous about this topic?" ”

"Don't be nervous!" Run Run Shaw took a long breath, and said with a somewhat bitter smile on his face: "I'm scared to death, I thought that Jin Yong didn't follow the rules and talked nonsense, it turned out that you kid guessed blindly, that's good, that's good." ”

Run Run Shaw said it was very good, but Wang Xiaohu was very depressed, he walked over, sat next to Run Run Shaw and said: "Uncle Six, what you just said seems to say that you have a few of you, and now you know the news that Hong Kong is going to return to the motherland?" ”

It's strange, it's only the end of 1974, and Wang Xiaohu remembered that the documents signed by China and Britain on the return were at least until around the 80s, so why did the news of the return circulate now. At that moment, he asked tentatively: "Sixth uncle, do you know which year you will return?" ”

"In 1997." Run Run Shaw said in a very stern tone: "Xiaohu, don't talk nonsense about this matter, I said it by mistake just now, in short, don't talk about this kind of topic to outsiders, it's easy to cause panic!" ”

The panic brought about by Hong Kong's return to the motherland is indeed a thing, especially in the five or six years before the return to the motherland, Hong Kong films were full of a large number of films that allude to the theme of the return, which shows that the Hong Kong people at that time were confused and worried about the mainland's reception, and the most anxious of them was probably such tycoon-level figures as Run Shaw and Li Ka-shing, who were worried that their property would be confiscated by the People's Liberation Army after the return, and a number of consortia and tycoons were panicked because of that incident, and they transferred their family property one after another, which also caused the last stock market crash in the 80s.

In short, as a reborn person, Wang Xiaohu does not understand their psychology, and in his eyes, the general policy of "one country, two systems, unchanged for 50 years" has greatly alleviated this worry, and there does not seem to have changed much after Hong Kong's return to the motherland, at least, Wang Xiaohu, who has not been to Hong Kong in his previous life, thinks so.

"Sixth uncle, don't worry, I won't talk about these things everywhere." Wang Xiaohu made a guarantee, and after seeing Run Run Run Shaw calm down, he asked: "Sixth uncle, why haven't I heard such news, where did you get the news, is it reliable?" ”

This is obviously redundant, since you even know the time of the return in 1997, it must be reliable! He asked just curiously, and at this time he could hear the news of returning home.

Run Run Shaw sighed, "Actually, all of us came from the mainland back then, and now we have a firm foothold in Hong Kong and have accumulated some small wealth, so we naturally don't want to return to the mainland. ”

You must know that Run Run Shaw and his ilk enjoy a very high social status in Hong Kong, and when they reach the age of Run Shaw and others, they will delve into the twists and turns of high society, and they must know a friend of the Hong Kong Governor's political axe, and the news that Hong Kong will return to China in 1997 is exactly what he and Jin Yong, Old Man Long and others attended at a drinking party not long ago, and the secretary of the Hong Kong Governor personally told them.

"At that time, British Conservative Prime Minister Sheehan visited China, and the Chinese high-level met with him in Changsha, according to the secretary of the Hong Kong Governor, the last issue of the conversation between the two sides was to determine the return of Hong Kong in 1997, and Sheehan immediately assured on behalf of the British political axe that there would be a smooth handover in Hong Kong in 1997." Run Run Shaw was a little apprehensive when he told this confidential news, and after he finished speaking, he repeatedly told Wang Xiaohu and said: "Xiaohu, this matter must be kept secret." ”

Wang Xiaohu nodded subconsciously, and there were already storms in his heart: it turned out that Taizu and his old man had made the final decision on Hong Kong's return in 1974! If he hadn't heard this secret from Run Run Shaw today, I'm afraid he would have foolishly thought that the focus of the end of the world was on Deng

There was silence in the study, and after a long time, Wang Xiaohu took a long breath and comforted Run Run Shaw and said: "Uncle Six, in fact, whether to return or not has little impact on our Hong Kong film industry, not to mention that you also said that it will only return in 97, and there are still 22 years to toss, so it's a big deal that we will get the company to the United States when the time comes." ”

This is somewhat insincere, after all, Wang Xiaohu has taken a fancy to the mainland market, I am afraid that at this time, only he knows the huge and consumption capacity of the mainland film market, although the current domestic is experiencing the tail of the catastrophe, but it also shows a big potential factor in the market, that is, the people have not had a project that can be entertained for more than ten years, and the movie is still unheard of for hundreds of millions of people. It shows how hungry the people are for new things.

In the domestic market, Wang Xiaohu is bound to win!

"You! Hey, I advise you not to dream in vain, this is a thankless task, and it will be blocked by the Hong Kong authorities! Run Run Shaw said earnestly: "You'd better talk to Jin Yong when you have time, he is very interested in things on the mainland, and I believe he will persuade you." ”

"Huh." Wang Xiaohu smiled bitterly, now that Run Run Shaw is bitter, he has learned more about certain attitudes of the mainland towards Hong Kong, which further confirms the restrictions he thought about at the beginning.

The two agreed to resume the filming of the "Jingwumen" TV series tomorrow, and then Run Run Shaw politely declined the invitation of Wang Xiaohu and his wife to dinner, and left Wang Xiaohu's home with a heavy heart.

During the meal, Zhao Yazhi asked with a smile: "Ah Hu, are you bullying the sixth uncle again, how do I think he was not in a very good mood when he said goodbye just now?" ”

"Ahem" The red bean soup that had just been drunk in his mouth almost squirted out, Wang Xiaohu coughed twice before he looked at his wife with resentful eyes and said: "What do you mean to bully him again, you must know that you are an official and I are extremely respectful of the old and love the young, Guohao, do you say yes!" ”

Li Guohao, who was struggling with the food, raised his head, looked at Wang Xiaohu, and then at Zhao Yazhi, and finally smiled sweetly and said: "I support Angel's mother's point of view, you must be bullying people again." ”

The corners of Wang Xiaohu's eyes twitched, looking at Li Guohao's eyes with a faint murderous aura, he gritted his teeth and said: "You, wait until you go to the practice room to hit wooden stakes for 1 hour!"

"Don't!" Li Guohao shouted for help when he heard this, the wooden stake is definitely going to kill people, especially when Li Guohao first came into contact with this kind of thing, every time he finished hitting the wooden stake, his forearm would hurt and swell for a long time, and he couldn't do it without rubbing the medicine and wine, so he threw the rice bowl, ran to Wang Xiaohu's side, hugged Wang Xiaohu's arm and said: "Daddy Tiger, I support your point of view now, you are a good person, the best good person in the world, Daddy Tiger, how can a rare good person like you bully others, you are often bullied by others." ”

"Poof~" Listening to the words of Li Guohao, who was unscrupulous, not only Zhao Yazhi laughed, but even Wang Xiaohu laughed happily, this Li Guohao is really a little ghost.

Wang Xiaohu touched Li Guohao's head with some tears and laughter and said, "You kid, do you praise me or scold me?" ”

"If Daddy Tiger doesn't punish me for hitting a wooden stake for an hour, it's a compliment to you, if you want to punish me"

"Well, I'd better be a good father." Wang Xiaohu shook his head and said, "Hurry up and go to dinner, and review your homework after eating." ”

"Hmm." Li Guohao hugged Wang Xiaohu's neck and kissed him hard, and then obediently returned to his seat to eat.

Wang Xiaohu said: "Lady, rest early tonight, and resume the filming of "Jingwumen" tomorrow, and strive to complete the filming within 10 days, and try to broadcast it on January 20 next year." ”

Zhao Yazhi nodded and served her husband a bowl of rice, "Hey, I didn't expect time to pass so fast, Brother Xiaolong has been gone for two years." Before he finished speaking, he saw her husband trying to give her a look, and then she suddenly remembered that Li Guohao was still by her side, and he should not talk about topics that made Li Guohao sad on this occasion.

But Li Guohao, as if he hadn't heard it, quickly finished dinner, but he didn't go directly to review his homework, but told Wang Xiaohu that he would go to Stephen Chow to borrow a few things first.

The two children were intimate, Wang Xiaohu also thought he was casually looking for an excuse to play, and immediately agreed, and even asked if he wanted to drive there, Li Guohao shook his head like a rattle and said: "It's okay, there is a taxi outside the door, I'll take a taxi and I'll be back soon." ”

Wang Xiaohu put Li Guohao in a taxi, and when he saw the taxi leave his sight, he returned to the study to write the script of "Shocking", not knowing that Li Guohao did not let the driver drive in the direction of Temple Street, but got off near the Tai Yuen Department Store, and changed into another taxi to rush to the home of Wing Chun warrior Wong Chun-leung.

And when Wang Xiaohu, who had written the script for a while, was relaxing on the balcony, he suddenly found that the taxi was very familiar, wasn't it the taxi that sent Li Guohao away half an hour ago, why did he come back so quickly, he felt a little bad at the moment, and hurriedly came down from upstairs and asked Zhao Yazhi: "Is Guohao back?" ”

Zhao Yazhi shook her head and said, "No, what happened?" ”
