415 pregnant
The Spring Festival that made Wang Xiaohu so busy that he couldn't breathe was finally over, on the morning of the sixteenth day of the first month, Wang Xiaohu brought his family to the Concord Company, and in the crackling sound of firecrackers, all the employees, artists, and directors of the Concord Company gathered in front of the door to watch, causing the citizens of the whole street to watch, no way, who let more than half of the people in this company be the idols of the citizens of Hong Kong. [No pop-up novel network]
After about half an hour of lively tossing, Wang Xiaohu finally took a breath, although he was still a little busy today, but this kind of busyness was something he was very familiar with and liked very much.
The crew of "The Story of Ah Lang" has been established, Wang Xiaohu is the producer, screenwriter and executive director of the film, and the main actors are Chow Yun-fat, Zhang Aijia, Stephen Chow, Wu Mengda, Wan Hanfei, Luo Zhengyang and others, among which the fourth batch of students of the Hong Kong Dragon and Tiger Martial Arts Union are all doing graduation internships in the film, and those with excellent grades will directly enter the Concord Company.
And Jackie Chan, who has just returned to Qixiaofu, also corrected his mentality, the company was busy cleaning the office for a few days before it opened, and his performance was not bad, given that Jackie Chan is also very keen on motorcycles and is good at flying cars, Wang Xiaohu asked him to play a racing driver with a helmet and no appearance in the film.
Many employees of Concord couldn't help but have strange expressions on their faces when they heard Wang Xiaohu mention this at the mobilization meeting after the year, they all knew that Jackie Chan used to be the most dazzling star in Hong Kong, and his influence was not inferior in Southeast Asia, so let a superstar like him play a role, not even a supporting role, can he agree?
But Jackie Chan nodded without hesitation, stood up and bowed, his attitude was very sincere, and he said without the slightest dissatisfaction: "Thank you." ”
It is said that good horses don't eat back grass, Jackie Chan jumped ship at the most dazzling time, and now he is running back in disgrace, and the usual unruly disappeared, not to mention, the world famous watch on his wrist is gone, and some people even saw him not driving a sports car when he went to work, and came directly to the bus.
There are all kinds of signs that Jackie Chan has really changed this time, and his voice is no longer so arrogant and proud when talking to people, but has become gentle and kind, which makes many people think that they are the wrong person for a while.
The employees gradually sniffed out the strange smell, looked at Jackie Chan, and then looked at Wang Xiaohu, knowing in their hearts that it was one thing, and seeing it with their own eyes was another, in short, they admired the young boss in a mess, cow, Brother Tiger is too good, and even Jackie Chan is obedient to this kind of anti-bone boy.
"Listen to the crew of "Ah Lang", I will give you half a month to familiarize yourself with the script, and then we will start intense filming work and strive to release it on Father's Day." Wang Xiaohu knocked on the table and said, "Okay, this group of meetings is over, the next group of meetings, Shaonan, you go and call all the people from the four satellite companies in." ”
After Wang Xiaohu finished speaking, he held his head and closed his eyes to recuperate, there are a lot of work to be arranged after the New Year, and some things have been arranged properly during the New Year, but he still has to re-examine them at the meeting after the New Year.
If a company wants to operate normally, it must have a comprehensive grasp of the company's internal structure, employees, capital chain, etc., some things Wang Xiaohu dares to let go of the people below to do, some things, such as what the boss wants to do, he does not have the possibility of letting go of the surname, can only be a little tired and let himself be a little tired.
Xu Guanwen, Sammo Hung, Yuan Heping, and the three giants of Xinyicheng came to the conference room, Wang Xiaohu drank the tea, sorted out his thoughts and said: "I have already reviewed the scripts of "Half a Pound and Eight Taels", "Seven Little Blessings", and "Lin Shirong", basically there is no big problem, Brother Wen, you said that I can only say sorry for letting Ah Zhi make a cameo in "Half a Pound and Eight Taels", because she is pregnant now, I don't want her to be too tired!" ”
"Oh!"
The bosses of the four major satellite companies of Concord all looked at Wang Xiaohu with wide eyes, and Sammo Hung asked directly and happily: "Ah Hu, when did it happen?" ”
"It's been about a month and a half." Wang Xiaohu said with a smile.
"Congratulations to Ah Hu (Master)!" The people in the conference room all bowed their hands to congratulate, which made Wang Xiaohu's tiredness slightly reduced, "Rejoice and rejoice!" His face was filled with joy, and his heart was incomparably sweet when he told this little secret.
Is it easy? It's not easy, rebirth is not as good as the fourth year, he is finally going to be a father, although the child will not be born until the end of the year, but the sense of expectation and satisfaction is an unprecedented experience, if it weren't for the fact that the company has a bunch of things to deal with, he even wants to nest at home, put his ears on Zhao Yazhi's lower abdomen every day, and listen to the sound of the child rolling in it, although Zhao Yazhi repeatedly told him: The child has not yet been formed, he still likes to do it stupidly.
The joy of being a father made Wang Xiaohu full of strength again, and after coughing twice to keep the conference room quiet, he turned his head to look at Huang Baiming, Mai Jia, and Shi Tian, until the three of them lowered their heads a little weakly by him, and then he said: "What, I am not confident in the script I wrote?" ”
Hong Kong, as the world's second largest film production place after Hollywood, is actually enough to dominate the world, Hong Kong-made films have attracted the world's attention with their unique style and context, Bruce Lee's kung fu films have opened up the international market, and then Jackie Chan, Lau Kar-leung and others have come to the top, at that time by Europe and the United States were also heavily influenced, Hong Kong films are actually quietly walking between localization and internationalization, and the "Best Partner" series is one of the examples.
At this time, the three giants of Xinyi City felt empty-hearted, and the reason was actually very simple, because Wang Xiaohu had thrown the script of "Best Partner" into the trash three times before.
"The King of Scripts" and "Box Office Guarantee" The scripts created by Wang Xiaohu's three apprentices were thrown into the trash, and I am afraid no one will believe it, after all, the script that is regarded as garbage in Wang Xiaohu's eyes will definitely sell more than 100,000 Hong Kong dollars if it is left outside.
Huang Baiming, as the main screenwriter of "Best Partner", wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, nodded and said, "Master, we, we don't know what is the script you want." ”
"Lighthearted, spoofed, funny!" Wang Xiaohu said: "There must also be a subversive spirit. ”
Huang Baiming and the others listened carefully, and at the same time slowly analyzed the requirements of the master in their hearts.
"If you don't grasp these points, then I won't read the script of the fourth draft differently." Wang Xiaohu said and threw the script into the trash can, the power was just right, and the accurate surname was also very high, it can be seen that this guy usually throws other people's scripts.
Huang Baiming, Mai Jia, and Shi Tian peeked at the trash can, and they felt very uncomfortable.
At this moment, Wang Xiaohu snorted coldly and said with a straight face: "Don't think I'm harsh on you, the script you created is a copy of the 007 model, but the characteristics of Hong Kong's localization are not obvious, especially many of the plots and dialogues in it are full of standard American flavor, and Hong Kong citizens may not be willing to buy it!" ”
Shi Tian shrank his neck vigorously when he heard this, the plot of the question Wang Xiaohu raised just now happened to be completed by him. At the beginning, they asked Wang Xiaohu for a hint, Wang Xiaohu just said "007" and then never said anything else, and the three of them immediately worked overtime to complete several similar scripts during the Spring Festival according to this prompt, and together with today's fourth draft of the script, they have racked their brains.
According to Wang Xiaohu's memory, the 007 series began to be popular in Asia at that time, but for Asian audiences, it has a unique aesthetic meaning, how can the shrewd Xiangjiang filmmakers give up the opportunity to learn from it, from the pure tribute of the first part to the subsequent cross-sea cooperation, it really witnessed the domineering history of the perfect integration of the two film giants at that time.
But the Big Three did not fully understand Wang Xiaohu's guidance, and even self-righteously wrote the script to annoy him, making him sometimes muttered in his heart: Is it right for me to do this, is it a bit suspicious of pulling out seedlings?
But the next moment, this sense of guilt quickly disappeared, and the fourth draft of the script made Wang Xiaohu nod slightly, some of which had gradually coincided with his memory, but the performance was not so obvious and mature, so he pretended not to have read the script, and stimulated them in a way that seemed to the Big Three to be usually painful, so as to stimulate their creative motivation and inspiration.
Wang Xiaohu knows that as long as the first part is successful, their cooperation will be more intimate in the future, and the creation of movie scripts will gradually mature, and finally form the style characteristics of Xinyicheng.
Looking at the three apprentices who were frowning and pondering, Wang Xiaohu smiled secretly in his heart, and still said with a straight face: "Three days, your new script must be placed on my desk on the morning of the fourth day." If you dare not hand it in, I'll cut off the three of you'll cut off your brains and kick them as balls. ”
The joke behind scared Mai Jia not lightly, and he subconsciously hurriedly hugged his bald head, for fear that Wang Xiaohu would really do it, and that cute appearance caused everyone in the conference room to laugh.
After the meeting, the heads of the three major satellite companies began to discuss the schedule, because whether it is "Seven Little Blessings", "Lin Shirong" or "Half a Pound and Eight Taels", some of the actors are shared with each other, such as Sammo Hung, not only to play Yu Zhanyuan in "Seven Little Blessings", but also to play the starring role in "Lin Shirong" directed by Yuan Heping, and the actor schedule is definitely a very troublesome thing.
Wang Xiaohu is too lazy to care about these now, after all, this so-called trouble is only the result of several directors discussing with each other, and he has no kung fu and no leisure to know this. This afternoon, he has to go to Yuen Long to find Shen Zhong to learn Xingyi Boxing.
