666 I am here for everything
The huge gap made Ji Chunhua, Hu Jianqiang, Sun Jiankui and other young people feel very angry, and they decided not to shoot this film, unless Director Liu increased his salary. γγ
As the eldest of these athletes, Yu Hai and Yu Chenghui felt that it was very irrational to say goodbye without saying goodbye like this after a short discussion, after all, they all had contracts, and if they broke the contract, it was very likely that the provincial sports teams would suffer.
And Wang Xiaohu finally helped everyone contact a play, so that everyone had an additional way to develop, and acting hastily can only smear Brother Hu's face, how will everyone mix in this industry in the future.
In the early days of co-production, everyone didn't have much impression of the so-called contract, not to mention that at that time, everyone's mind was relatively simple, and the concept of physique made them take filming as a political task.
So holding back this fire, a group of mainland actors followed Liu Jialiang's crew to Shaolin Temple in Putian, Fujian, and the two things that happened afterwards could no longer make mainland athletes feel at ease to film.
"Master, I know that you have a good relationship with Director Liu, but what he did went too far, and after I arrived in Putian, Fujian, they started targeting us just because I wanted to increase the salary for everyone's promotion." Jet Li said angrily on the phone: "When I was in Songshan Shaolin Temple, everyone's food standards were the same, but when we arrived in Fujian, we ate very simple standards, and in order to meet the requirements of Liu Jialiang and other Hong Kong staff, they ate Cantonese food, and in their eyes, our food was like pig food!" β
Wang Xiaohu snorted coldly when he heard this: "Is there really such a thing? β
"That's right, Master, I'm really not complaining, but this incident has made everyone feel very uncomfortable, it's not all about money, and dignity, as if our hard work is worthless."
Speaking of which, Wang Xiaohu has made clear the main contradictions in the crew, whether he entered the mainland to shoot "Myth" or "Shaolin Temple", he maintained a mainlander mentality, and did not draw a class line with the mainland because he was a big Hong Kong director and a British knight.
Even if there was a small friction between each other during the filming of "Myth", these things that should have been have not been reduced.
In capitalist societies such as Europe and the United States, this concept of class may be very common, for example, in Hollywood, they allocate lounges according to the status of actors, but when the reason for such differential treatment comes from racial differences, it is a serious mistake, which is illogical.
To put it more bluntly, Wang Xiaohu is not only responsible for the task of director in the co-production process, but also responsible for balancing the role of class relations between the two, so that each other respects each other, and will not feel any discrimination psychologically.
In terms of food, the level has been lowered, and everyone can still be patient, but what really stimulates the conflict between the two sides is still on the set.
There is a scene in "North and South Shaolin" where the shots are filmed, and anyone who has been a director knows that these two sets of shots are quite difficult to shoot, and sometimes the best shooting moment will be missed by a minute.
In order to shoot the morning fog of Shaolin Temple in the realm of a thousand-year-old temple, the whole crew also got up at five o'clock and stayed behind the camera early, because the light will not wait for anyone, and if you miss it, you will have to wait the next day.
Jet LiWhen they were filming "North and South Shaolin", Liu Jialiang asked all the mainland personnel to get up at 2 o'clock in the morning, arrive at the filming location on time, and prepare for the shooting.
Jet Li, Yu Hai, Yu Chenghui, Ji Chunhua, Sun Jiankui and others really appeared on the set at three o'clock in the morning, and when the dawn approached, they began to become very anxious, because Director Liu Jialiang had not yet arrived at the scene, and they had been waiting......
The first light is coming...... Liu Jialiang still didn't come.
And then......
The best time to shoot was missed, Jet Li and they waited until ten o'clock in the morning, and director Liu Jialiang appeared on the shooting site.
The first thing he said was, "Alas! This light is wrong, aren't we planning to shoot it? There is nothing to be done now, so let's finish today's work! β
These words were like a fuse, which completely angered all the mainland actors at once.
"What are you doing, playing with us!" Hu Jianqiang was young and vigorous, and took the lead in jumping out to accuse Liu Jialiang.
"Damn, stop shooting!" Sun Jiankui and Ji Chunhua also took off their costumes angrily, threw them on the ground, and said to Jet Li and others: "Go, who they like to shoot and shoot!" β
Jet Li felt that Liu Jialiang was not doing something right, so he stopped everyone and said, "Wait, I'll ask Director Liu to come over and explain." β
"What else to explain?!" Liu Jialiang snorted coldly and said: "I am the director, you are the actors I hired, I have the final say on the set, you guys don't shoot, don't shoot, hurry up!" I'll look for your leadership theory when I go back! β
ββ
Everyone didn't expect Liu Jialiang's attitude to be so bad, even if he didn't explain or apologize, he actually grasped everyone's shortcomings and didn't let go, and opened his mouth to find leadership theories, theories, theories!
The two sides immediately argued, Hu Jianqiang They said that you don't respect mainland actors, you wear small shoes everywhere, Liu Jialiang insisted on his own point of view, these can make Jet Li, Yu Hai, Yu Chenghui The three peacemakers are busy, and in the chaos, I don't know who made the first move, the scene was suddenly uncontrollable, and a realistic version of "North and South Shaolin" was staged.
It wasn't until the security guards of the local scenic spot intervened that the two sides stopped, and in this all-martial arts trip, Hu Jianqiang and Ji Chunhua were injured by Liu Jialiang, but Liu Jialiang didn't get any benefits here, and was beaten by Yu Hai with a praying mantis punch.
After being pulled away, the two sides did not give up, and staged a scolding war that made people fall through the glasses
After Wang Xiaohu and Jet Li completely explained, they suddenly felt that their heads were extremely big.
Zhao Gang noticed that his brows were furrowed, his face was very stinky, and his eyes were even full of powerful anger.
Obviously, Wang Xiaohu was deliberately keeping himself calm, and after a long time, he heard him say to the phone: "What about the Liu family?" β
"He went to the Ministry of Culture and lost his temper with Minister Huang, threatening to sue several martial arts teams, and flew back to Hong Kong yesterday afternoon." Jet Li said.
"Well, I know about this, you comfort everyone's emotions and let them not worry about the contract, everything is with me." After Wang Xiaohu said this, he asked Jet Li to hand over the phone to Minister Huang.
"Minister Huang, I'm sorry for you." Wang Xiaohu said after thinking about it.
Minister Huang over there nodded hurriedly and said, "Mr. Wang, please speak, I'll listen." β
"Take the time to report to the above, and study the interim management measures for co-productions that we formulated when "Myth" was filmed."
Minister Huang was stunned for a moment, and asked suspiciously: "Do you mean to introduce a complete management method that restricts each other's surnames?" β
Wang Xiaohu snorted and said: "That's right, I feel that not putting these things on the table will be very detrimental to the development of co-productions in the future, and things like "North and South Shaolin" may happen frequently." β
"Okay, hey, I got it." Minister Huang sighed, hung up the phone and frowned, he now understood what Wang Xiaohu meant, that is, the mainland side will issue relevant documents, and in the future, all Hong Kong film companies or other countries that enter the mainland to adopt the method of co-production must strictly follow the documents
In the study, Wang Xiaohu hung up the phone, sat on the sofa and sighed repeatedly, Zhao Gang knew that he was not in a very good mood now, so he stood there quietly with a Chinese cigarette in his mouth, waiting for Wang Xiaohu to speak.
No one can understand Wang Xiaohu's bad mood at this time, he really doesn't have Liu Jialiang to have such a big style, he actually played a prestige in the mainland, and caused such a big incident, the mainland must have a certain bad opinion of Hong Kong movies.
As for what bad opinions, Wang Xiaohu can guess with his toes, it is nothing more than the clichΓ© when filming "Myth", what is the bad nature of a capitalist country, what treats mainlanders inappropriately, what a bunch of big hats are buttoned up, and the good impression he worked so hard to maintain on the mainland is instantly discounted!
Nima! Liu Jialiang, aren't you adding to the chaos!
In his previous life, Wang Xiaohu still had a lot of respect for this Huang Feihong heir, after all, he had presented wonderful and real martial arts films to many people, and after being reborn, even Zhang Che, Hu Jinquan and others complained about how Liu Jialiang's character was bad, Wang Xiaohu also thought that it might be a rumor from the outside world based on the good impression of his previous life, everyone has known each other for seven or eight years, and they respect each other like guests.
But why did the descendants of this generation of grandmasters do such a thing that made Wang Xiaohu feel super unhappy?
Why?
You want the original cast of "Shaolin Temple", ok, Lao Tzu didn't say anything else, I'll help you contact you right away!
You said that there is no problem with asking me to help submit the script to the Ministry of Culture, if it weren't for Lao Tzu leaving a sentence on the script, your broken script with loopholes and sieves would have passed the review?
The more Wang Xiaohu thought about it, the more angry he became, and at this moment, the bodyguard Ah Bao knocked on the door of the study and said loudly: "Brother Hu, Uncle Shao and Liu Jialiang have come to visit, and they are waiting in the living room downstairs." β
Wang Xiaohu jumped up from the sofa and said to Zhao Gang: "Go, go down with me to meet them!" β
