After signing "First Blood", Wang Xiaohu felt a lot easier, and after returning to the company, he stuffed the novel into Stallone's hands. 【】

"Now go home and read through the whole novel, and then make the character cards."

Stallone nodded obediently and said, "Oh." Boss, who will adapt the script from the novel? ”

Wang Xiaohu pointed to his head and said, "Can you count on anyone else besides me?" ”

Stallone thought about it, the company's movies in the past few years have basically been adapted by his hands, he is a person that even Hollywood's chief screenwriter is jealous of, there is such a baby in the company, and what kind of effort does it take to hire others to adapt the script.

"Don't think you're going to have it easy." Just when Stallone was thinking nonsense, Wang Xiaohu spoke again: "This time it's the same as "Rocky", I still take the outline of the script, and you will handle the sub-scenes of the script. ”

"Who's the director?" Stallone reacted immediately and hurriedly asked.

"Anyway, I don't have time, George and Steven are busy, the company is just a few of our directors, who else do you say?" Wang Xiaohu said helplessly: "It's up to you to take the responsibility." ”

"But I messed up Rocky 2 last time, and"

"Needless to say, I'm sure you can handle it." Wang Xiaohu waved his hand and directly stopped Stallone from continuing to say words without confidence. He knew that when filming "First Blood" in his previous life, it was rumored that Stallone and the director did not agree, and even quarreled with the original colonel actor because of Rambo's life and death at the end of the film.

In fact, Stallone is the biggest contributor to "First Blood", in addition to starring, he also provided a lot of ideas about his own revision of the script, and served as an assistant director.

Stallone suddenly felt that the burden on his body was heavier, and nodded vigorously and said, "Boss, I will do a good job, and I will definitely not disappoint your hopes." ”

"You've said this more than three times today!" Wang Xiaohu scolded with a smile: "If you don't disappear from front of me again, I don't mind asking you out!" ”

"Hey, can't I go?" With an excited smile on his face, Stallone just walked to the door and was stopped by Wang Xiaohu again.

"Sister, there's one more thing."

Wang Xiaohu frowned and thought for a while and said, "That's the case, I plan to let someone come over to help you, of course, only in terms of action design, or other aspects." ”

"Huh?"

"Ah, John, we met once a few years ago." Wang Xiaohu said: "Before the release of "The Journey of a Warrior", we were blocked by black friends at the door of the company. ”

"Yes, I remembered. Let him help me? Stallone nodded, and John Woo's appearance came to mind.

"That's right, I think he'll be able to choreograph some of your moves for you." Wang Xiaohu took a sip of a cup of coffee on the table and continued: "Of course, if you need some action guidance such as speeding cars and jumping cliffs, you can talk to Jack who came this time. Chen Duo communicated, he is an expert in this area. ”

"Okay, I remember." Sylvester Stallone finished speaking seriously, and then walked out of the office, he didn't go home to read the novel immediately, but found Jackie Chan, who was bored in the company, with the thick novel.

As a result, the two had a big communication barrier in terms of language, and the two dragons tossed for a long time and just chatted a few nonsense words such as today's good weather, Los Angeles is very good, and Hong Kong is very good.

Wang Xiaohu is sometimes a hurry, especially when he has a lot of things in his head, he can't wait to finish the easiest thing to solve, and the most important thing for him at the moment is to write the outline of the script of "First Blood".

Fortunately, the outline of the script this time was done in English, and he could use a typewriter as a fast input tool, otherwise if he was asked to write with a pen, who knew that there would be no time wasted today.

When Jackie Chan knocked on the door and came in, he happened to see Wang Xiaohu crackling on the typewriter, because the typing speed was too fast, the typewriter made a sound similar to "moaning in pain", coupled with Wang Xiaohu's input speed that made professional typists crazy, Jackie Chan was stunned for a while.

I don't know how long Jackie Chan has maintained this posture, but when he heard Wang Xiaohu call him, his eyes were a little sore.

"Aaron, what are you looking for me for?" Wang Xiaohu took the outline of the script of "First Blood" in his hand and corrected a few typos in it, after all, there will always be typos in such a fast input process.

"Hmm, let me think about it." Jackie Chan raised his head and looked at the ceiling for a long time before he remembered what he was going to say: "Just now, a guy named Sylvester Stallone came to me and talked to me for a long time, I don't know what he means, anyway, he was very enthusiastic." ”

"Ha, this guy is really positive." Wang Xiaohu put the outline of the script on the table, looked at Jackie Chan and said, "I asked him to find you." There are several thrilling stunts in his new film, and you have quite a lot of experience designing the action for Police Story yourself, so help him out if you have time. ”

"Oh." Jackie Chan scratched his head, "Ah Hu, I really want to learn English." I was very envious to see you communicate with those Yankees easily, and I couldn't understand anything, the words I said were wrong, and the pronunciation made them frown when they listened to it. ”

"Well, this is a good phenomenon, and it seems that your trip to the United States is not without gains." Wang Xiaohu smiled and nodded, and continued to revise his script outline. At the same time, he asked, "Don't you have anything else to gain except the language barrier?" ”

"Yes, there are many!" Jackie Chan sat at Wang Xiaohu's desk and said: "Especially what happened at the Los Angeles Police Department yesterday stimulated me a lot, I thought about it for a long time last night, and I felt that we Chinese people were not very happy to make a living in the United States, so I plan to make more movies in the future that will surprise Americans." ”

"Huh?" Wang Xiaohu put down the pen, raised his head to look at Jackie Chan, and found that his expression was very serious and serious, not joking, and the corners of his mouth turned up and laughed.

To be honest, Jackie Chan's idea surprised Wang Xiaohu, it seems that it is the right decision to let Jackie Chan come to the United States this time, Jackie Chan in his previous life was greatly stimulated by the failure of development in the United States, and then returned to Hong Kong to design his own style, so that Americans can not imitate only amazing movements, and there are classic big productions such as "Who Am I" and "Red Fan Zone", these two movies have made Jackie Chan completely gain a firm foothold in Hollywood.

Although it was somewhat guided, he didn't expect the effect to be so good, and Wang Xiaohu was naturally happy for Jackie Chan in his heart.

Chong Jackie Chan gave a thumbs up, and Wang Xiaohu said: "Very good, very good idea, this shows that you have broken the inherent narrow-mindedness of Hong Kong and started to move closer to the international side, I am really happy." ”

"Hey, hey." Jackie Chan was praised a few words, scratched his head a little embarrassed and said: "It's all Ah Hu, you are willing to give me such a good opportunity, think about the fact that I did something sorry for you before, I really should be spanked." ”

"Haha, didn't Master fight, the past has passed, what to do." Wang Xiaohu said: "The key is to look at the future, at the beginning I was worried that you could not find the idea of development after the establishment of the company, but now I can be completely assured." ”

Wang Xiaohu patted Jackie Chan on the shoulder and encouraged: "Ah Long, since you have a heart, you will boldly practice, but you must develop steadily step by step, and I will support you behind you!" ”

"Thank you, Hu." Jackie Chan was deeply moved

On the third day of Wang Xiaohu's arrival in Los Angeles, according to his original plan, he would accept the recording of the Today-Show program of New York TV, but because he was busy revising the script of "First Blood", and supervising Jackie Chan and Stallone to design actions according to the script, this talk show recording plan was directly canceled by Wang Xiaohu.

In other words, Wang Xiaohu's trip to the United States canceled three appointments in just three days, the first was to cancel the audition of the actress of "Myth", which made hundreds of golden cats very resentful, and even the actors' union had a great opinion on Wang Xiaohu. The second was the cancellation of the San Francisco police invitation.

Now Wang Xiaohu refused the invitation of New York TV on the grounds that he was too busy with work, and as soon as the news came out, it set off a heated discussion.

Whether it is a newspaper or a television station, there is a unanimous voice: This Oriental man is too arrogant, and he does not give face to the media one after another, does he really think that he is amazing? Ignoring the American media!

The media is angry for sure, someone wrote a letter to the American conquest, strongly demanding that the arrogant Oriental director be banned, but the United States directly thought that he didn't see it, and the stupid X would ban such a big taxpayer, after blocking him, who will make a good movie for you to spend money to watch? If you don't spend money, how can the country's consumption limit be increased?

Therefore, the political axe of the United States remains silent and allows the media to toss around, anyway, if you toss again, Wang Xiaohu has not done anything illegal, you can find a good reason!

Afterwards, Jackie Chan once asked Wang Xiaohu about this matter, and Wang Xiaohu replied like this: "Back then, even Brother Xiaolong, when he was interviewed by the American media, he was also harassed by the host, and there was a feeling of humiliation on that kind of interview show, these Yankees will treat you as a monkey, let you play a set of punches in front of the camera, show Chinese kung fu or something, I go up and down millions of people every minute, and there is that idle man to accompany them to idle nonsense?" ”

In fact, Wang Xiaohu did not say a paragraph later, of course, those are the memories of his previous life, when Jackie Chan was in Hollywood, he had also appeared on this kind of similar show, and the host also made such a request to disrespect Jackie Chan at that time, Jackie Chan immediately jumped to his feet and walked away.

This is no longer disrespecting Jackie Chan, but disrespecting the Chinese, Wang Xiaohu will not let the Yankees play as a monkey -

The original plan was to let Xiaohu talk about Chinese kung fu on a talk show, but later rejected the idea after seeing Jackie Chan's information back then.
