In the history of Chinese film, before the fifth generation of directors took the helm, the fourth generation of directors understood that the film had a script, and then brought people over to film, and after filming, it was screened, which was as simple as that. [Full text reading]

Between 1966 and 1969, Chinese could see only three domestic films, known as the "Old Three Films". They are "Southern Expedition and Northern War", "Mine Warfare" and "Tunnel Warfare". In addition, the only two translated films can be seen in China, namely "Lenin in October" and "Lenin in 1918" in the Soviet Union.

During the Cultural Revolution, Chinese mainland films almost suffered a catastrophe, and most of the films shot were mainly model films, and the film review was also more troublesome, and the guiding ideology was "three highlights" and "sixteen character tips".

The three prominence refers to: highlighting the positive character among all the characters; Highlight heroic figures among positive figures; Highlight the main heroes among the heroes.

The sixteen-character formula is: the enemy is far away and I am close (Jingbei); The enemy is dark and I am bright (light); The enemy is small and I am big (proportional); The enemy leans down (angle).

From here, you can see that the minds of the fourth generation of filmmakers have been completely imprisoned by the Gang of Four, and their film development has been derailed from world cinema, lagging behind the problems of more than ten or twenty years.

Three years ago, Wang Xiaohu led a group of 30 people from Concord Film Company to the mainland to shoot "Shocking", which opened the eyes of the entire fourth generation of filmmakers, and in the month of that shooting, they learned a lot of unheard of film knowledge.

So when they heard that Wang Xiaohu came to the mainland to continue filming movies, the three film companies immediately filmed all the elite backbones to join the crew. Usually, these people are responsible for laying hands, carrying heavy props, and being responsible for logistics support, etc., on the surface, they are helping out, but in fact, they are all here to steal the teacher.

When filming is started, they push rail cars or work as camera assistants, of course, they actually play very little role, after all, Concord is also an elite backbone when he comes to the mainland this time, especially Yuan Heping, Sammo Hung, and Jackie Chan, all of whom are famous directors in Hong Kong, and the team they brought to them has also cooperated for many years.

Therefore, in the eyes of most Concord employees, it is inevitable that there is some resentment towards people in the mainland. Because these people eat more than them, sometimes they will help, and some people will even do very inexplicable things, and many Concord employees have reported these problems to Wang Xiaohu.

Wang Xiaohu just smiled at the time, then patted them on the shoulder and said: "Be patient, you still have a long time to cooperate with mainland filmmakers in the future, and there is still a longer way to go in the future, so sometimes when you encounter such a thing, you can ignore or ignore it." ”

The employees naturally listened to Wang Xiaohu's words, after all, Brother Hu has led them to take the position of the boss of Hong Kong movies in the past few years, and he is humble and considerate of his subordinates, so they didn't take these things to heart.

In this way, a small number of the three filmmakers think that the employees of Concord are easy to bully, and there will be a little friction from time to time, but it is not painful and does not cause too much dispute.

But as time passed, the resentment between the two sides also accumulated to a certain extent, and today Zhang Yimou overthrew the rail car, resulting in the damage to the expensive camera, which also reached a flashpoint.

"You shouted at us to hurry up!" The one who pushed the rail car with Zhang Yimou was a small man, with a black face and jumping feet, and countless spittle stars spewed out of his mouth.

"You don't have long eyes yourself, and now that the camera is broken, you make us pay again, why!" The little man saw that his side had a great advantage, and he was a little more bold at the moment, "You Hong Kong people are great if you are rich?" It's unreasonable! ”

"Yes, if you have money, you don't be reasonable?"

"That's all the people who come out of the capitalist countries, phew!"

Someone also echoed, which annoyed Li Hanwei, glared at the man with big eyes and said, "Who do you say is of poor quality!" ”

"Let's just say that you are of poor quality! If we hadn't pulled it just now, you'd have been beating someone! ”

"You" Li Hanwei's Chinese is not good, in this case he knows that he can't say the other party, and his fists are clenched to hit the person.

"Avi, calm down, focus on the overall situation, have you forgotten what Ah Hu said?" Yuan Heping tried his best to hold down Li Hanwei, who was strong-blooded, to prevent him from making trouble, Wang Xiaohu had communicated with him many times, and as an assistant director, he considered things more comprehensively, after all, everyone was not the stunned young man back then.

"Several, there may be a little misunderstanding here, don't get excited, don't get excited."

The little black man saw that Yuan Heping softened when he said it, and another group of people from his side came over, and this courage suddenly ran away again, and he said disdainfully: "It's still a misunderstanding, you're all going to beat people, a misunderstanding!" ”

"Brothers, let's not be angry with this nest and leave!"

"Yes, don't work for the capitalists, see how they shoot!"

"That's it, you can't shoot without our help!"

When it came to this, even Yuan Heping was impatient no matter how good his temper was, he waved his hand and said angrily: "You are a capitalist, who are you talking about?" ”

"Just talk about you!"

"This is China, capitalists go back!"

When a group of people were fighting each other, Sammo Hung, Yuan Kui, and Yuan De rushed to hear the news, and Sammo Hung held a short stick in his hand and glared at King Kong angrily, "I see who dares to touch our people in Xiehe!" ”

With Sammo Hung shouting, the employees of Concord who were filming in front of him also put down their work and ran over, after all, this is in the mainland, and the employees of Concord will definitely not watch their brothers being bullied, so in a blink of an eye, more than 100 people are gathered together.

"Do what, do what! I want to fight! The little black man saw that the situation was not good, and first coaxed: "Brothers, the capitalists have beaten people, everyone copies the guys!" ”

"Down with the capitalists, beat them up!"

It's nothing for one person to coax, two people, three people are going to die, the scene is hot enough, a few people shouted, more than 200 people immediately staged a full martial arts, and for a while people turned their backs on their horses, so it was not lively.

No matter how strong the people of these three film companies are, which ones are the opponents of the people of Concord, not to mention Yuan Heping, Sammo Hung, Yuan De, Yuan Kui and other people who practice martial arts all year round.

Even if Li Hanwei and Wu Di are the students who came out of the Dragon and Tiger Martial Arts, the opponent is easy for three or five, and fighting or something, it is too trivial for the people of Xiehe.

When the people on the periphery saw that the people who were beating here turned their backs, they went to call people if they had a good spirit, and if they were clear, they went to find Wang Xiaohu, Zhao Gang and others

"Stop it!"

A loud shout sounded from outside the crowd, but Wang Xiaohu heard someone report it, and hurriedly dismissed the horse's head and rushed to this side, before the horse arrived, he had already jumped up from the horse, like a god of war falling from the sky, jumped out of the crowd, and shouted at the same time: "Disperse!" ”

I saw that Wang Xiaohu was wearing a red tasseled helmet, wearing a bright black armor, and a pair of tiger eyes were spraying angry flames, but these people were all fighting in the dark, and they couldn't listen to it, Wang Xiaohu saw this and reached out and grabbed the two scuffling people: "Lao Tzu let you disperse and hear!" ”

"They were unreasonable first!" Someone said unconvinced.

"You were the ones who hit people first!" Concord is not a vegetarian here.

"Lao Zhao, you can't fucking come here, Lao Tzu is going to kill, don't bury it!" When Wang Xiaohu saw the chaotic scene, he was furious and yelled at the top of his throat.

"Don't, don't! I'll take care of that! Zhao Gang came out from behind Wang Xiaohu with sweat, to be honest, he frowned when he saw the messy scene, and he also knew that the top priority was to separate the two gangs, if the two sides really got started, it would not be a good thing for either party to be injured, and it was nothing to delay the filming progress, the problem was that he couldn't explain it to the top.

"The first row and the second platoon will listen to the order, and all the troublemakers will be escorted away by Lao Tzu!" Zhao Gang roared loudly, and the PLA soldiers didn't care who shouted who was wronged and who was reasonable, they rushed up and grabbed a few of the most noisy ones and pulled them away directly.

As soon as the People's Liberation Army made a move, the people on both sides immediately became silent, after all, this group of People's Liberation Army is not vegetarian, although a few People's Liberation Army members were also mixed in at the beginning, but after Zhao Gang came over, they dodged away from the crowd.

Wang Xiaohu walked closer with a cold face, glanced at Li Hanwei, Yuan Heping, and then at Zhang Yimou, and then said, "Are you injured?" ”

The three of them all shook their heads, and Li Hanwei said: "The person is fine, it's just a bruise, but the camera lens is ruined." ”

Wang Xiaohu frowned when he heard this, and caught a glimpse of Zhang Yimou's pale face and lowered his head, and his body was trembling.

"Don't care about the machine for now, and find a military doctor to treat the wound if you are injured." Wang Xiaohu put down this sentence, then turned to Zhao Gang and said, "Old Zhao, please notify the heads of the three film companies and ask them to go to the office of the Longwan Village Committee for a meeting." ”

Things have come to this point, and the scene will definitely not be able to continue filming, hundreds of people packed up their things and returned to the temporary crew in Longwan Village in frustration, whispering about what happened just now.

The Longwan Village Committee is a blue brick house that has been built for an unknown number of years, the outer walls are covered with light vegetation, and there are two big trees in the courtyard covering the roof.

However, the dozen or so people in the village committee room did not dare to take a breath.

On the rectangular wooden table was a camera with a damaged lens, Wang Xiaohu sat in the middle, Yuan Heping, Li Hanwei, and Zhang Yimou sat on his left, Zhao Gang sat on the right, and behind him were the heads of the three film companies, and there were seven or eight people standing on both sides of the long table, secretly watching Wang Xiaohu.

Wang Xiaohu blushed, frowned, and said, "Which of you will tell me what happened just now." ”

"Me!" The representative of Changying took the lead in raising his hand, and everyone's eyes were focused on him, he coughed twice and said: "Mr. Wang, you can't blame our factory Xiaosun for this, it's your photographer who didn't make it clear beforehand, and let our people push the rail car hard, but after the track was pushed out and the lens was broken, your photographer spoke too ugly, and he couldn't afford to lose this lens even if he sold us!" ”

"Avi, is that so?" Wang Xiaohu's eyebrows twisted into Sichuan characters when he heard this, and he turned his head coldly to Li Hanwei and asked, "Did you really say such a thing?" ”

Li Hanwei hummed and said: "At that time, when I saw that the camera was broken, I was anxious and said this to Mou Zai. ”

"Mr. Wang, look, you see, it's not that we are talking nonsense, your people have admitted it." Seeing this, the representative of Changying interjected.

"That's what I said at the time, but"

"Shut up!" Wang Xiaohu glanced at Li Hanwei, who gritted his teeth aggrievedly, his expression was about to cry, and even Yuan Heping wanted to mention him with a long mouth, but he was frightened back by Wang Xiaohu's eyes, and sighed helplessly and patted Li Hanwei's shoulder as comfort.

Wang Xiaohu said: "This comrade of Changying, do you have anything else to add?" ”

"It's gone! Several people on our side were injured by your people, and now they are in a mood and refuse to start work at all, Mr. Wang will do it. After speaking, the representative of the long shadow twisted his head to the side.

Wang Xiaohu frowned slightly, and asked the representatives of the other two film companies, "What do you have to say?" ”

The representative of Shangying saw that Changying's side had the upper hand, and secretly gave a thumbs up in his heart, this trick is really beautiful to play first, so that Wang Xiaohu is not good at favoring his subordinates in front of everyone.

After pretending to be silent for a while, the representative of Shangying said: "I feel that the quality of these people you brought is not very good, Mr. Wang, they all grew up in capitalist countries, and some young people will show off their power in two strokes, who will dare to cooperate with you to make films in this way." ”

When it was the turn of the representative of Beiying to speak, the somewhat balding middle-aged man first grinned, then looked at the other two peers and said, "I, I feel the same, it's too violent!" Anyway, the people on my side are very resistant, and they are all on strike now! ”

After the three representatives finished speaking, the room fell into silence, and the three representatives twisted their heads to the side and put on a posture for Wang Xiaohu to look at.

And the people here in Concord are very unhappy, with Brother Tiger for many years, when have they been so angry, when was he in Temple Street, Brother Tiger was able to beat the mourners into cripples for Zhang Yuan, why did Brother Tiger help others speak today? These people sued the wicked first, and the truth seems to be on their side, so why don't you let us defend it!

The representatives of the three families saw the aggrieved appearance of the people of Concord, and they were happy in their hearts, they communicated well before they came, and they didn't have to do anything else in the face of such a thing, and grabbed the photographer's ugly pigtails, if Wang Xiaohu was short, the feelings were good, and the people of the three film companies immediately retreated, and at the same time asked Wang Xiaohu to truthfully calculate the cost of props in the early stage.

If Wang Xiaohu doesn't protect his shortcomings, it would be better, he should apologize, and he should compensate for medical expenses and lost work expenses, otherwise he will dismantle your stage and make your movie unable to shoot, after all, this is not Hong Kong, and it is not a place where you can be wild. So they pricked up their ears calmly, wanting to hear how Wang Xiaohu dealt with it.

Wang Xiaohu did not draw conclusions, but turned his gaze to Zhang Yimou and said, "Xiao Zhang, tell me." ”

"Teacher Wang, it's all my fault for this, I don't have long eyes, I'm just my responsibility for this matter anyway, it has nothing to do with anyone, you can punish me as much as you want!" Zhang Yimou burst into tears when he said it, and the 28-year-old man was completely stupid when he heard about hundreds of thousands of things.

"Xiao Zhang, what are you crying about, Mr. Wang admits their mistakes." As soon as the representative of Changying comforted Zhang Yimou with soft words, he heard a snapping sound in his ears.

"What did you say Lao Tzu admitted?" Wang Xiaohu slapped the long table, stood up and pointed to the representative and asked.

"You, your people just admitted it!" The representative of the long shadow was startled by the loud noise, and even his speech was not as coherent as before.

"Lao Tzu's people are really excited to speak, but you have a fucking reason to hit people?" Wang Xiaohu was stunned, and the frightened long shadow dodged backwards, dragging the stool under his ass to make a screeching sound.

The depressed Yuan Heping, Li Hanwei, Zhang Yuan and others laughed when they saw this scene: they deserve it!

"Mr. Wang, how can you do this!"

The so-called one side was in trouble and all sides supported it, and representatives of the other two companies hurriedly came out to show support.

"What else can I do?" Wang Xiaohu looked at them coldly with a dark face: "You guys are eating a big bowl of meat, taking the same salary as our Hong Kong employees, and then beating Lao Tzu, what else do you think I can do?" Accustomed to your stinky fault! ”

Everyone raised their heads in surprise when they heard this, especially the heads of the three film companies, they never thought that Wang Xiaohu, who was still amiable just now, would become a bandit in a blink of an eye.

Just listen to Wang Xiaohu said sharply: "A capitalist on the left, a capitalist on the right, aren't we Hong Kong people Chinese?" It's been almost three months since the start-up, and you ask yourself, which of my Concord employees deliberately troubled you? At this time, people who jumped out and said that Lao Tzu's education is not of low quality? You deserve it too! ”

The three representatives lowered their heads and bowels were all repentant, and it didn't matter if they were scolded a few times, at most their ears were calloused, and their faces were thicker, this is not a problem, the question is, how can they learn from the experienced teachers of Xiehe in the future, and they will definitely be criticized by the leaders of the factory after they go back, maybe this iron job bowl will not be saved.

The heads of the three film companies were finally dumbfounded, Wang Xiaohu's people were disciplined, and if you think about it comprehensively, this matter is indeed a loss on your side, even if Li Hanwei's tone was a little heavier at that time, you can't scold or beat people on your side, right?

To put it bluntly, if it weren't for the fact that there were too many props involved, we must adhere to the principle of co-production, and help promote mainland filmmakers under the repeated pleas of the Ministry of Culture, just the 100-person team brought by Concord would be able to finish filming "Myth", and they are really here to make soy sauce.

They are worried that Wang Xiaohu will not let go of this truth, if this is the case, then hundreds of people from their three film companies can completely get out of the crew.

"Ahem." At this time, Zhao Gang, who had been silent, coughed twice, and said with a smile: "Lao Wang, dissipate your anger and dispel your anger, don't be like them, no one will be a director when you are angry, it's not cost-effective." ”

"Hmm." After Wang Xiaohu said this, his heart was also much more comfortable, he took the tea handed by Zhao Gang and took a sip and stopped talking, and then it was Zhao Gang's performance time.

I heard Zhao Gang speak: "This incident has exposed a lot of problems, I think what Mr. Wang said is very correct, you can't look at the problem with colored glasses, Hong Kong people are also our Chinese compatriots, I hope you go back and think about what you have done for "Myth", what you have done right, what you have done wrong, in addition, correct your attitude, hand over the few people who made trouble, if you have no objections, sign it." ”

Zhao Gang distributed a few pieces of paper to the heads of the three film companies, and the three of them looked at each other and secretly said that they were lucky, but after reading the second attached "Myth" Drama Combination Filming Interim Management Regulations, they were dumbfounded.

Because the requirements on this interim management regulation were formulated by Zhao Gang himself, and each requirement was carried out in accordance with the army's punishment standards, it is no wonder that they are not dumbfounded.

After thinking about it, I still planned to revise Chapter 558, not to inject water, but to feel that on such an occasion, if Brother Tiger didn't say something or do something, he wouldn't be the Tiger Brother who protected his shortcomings.
