People tend to have a problem with schadenfreude. [Full text reading]
Especially when a person has more money than him, has a high status, and has a gentle and beautiful wife, whether out of envy or jealousy, in short, when this person suddenly dies or is collapsed by others, regardless of whether he was a good person or a big evil person before, most people are applauding in their hearts, and the big family is happy.
Wang Xiaohu was threatened with a gun by Wing Chun the day before yesterday, and today it was rumored that he was going to shoot a sequel to "Ip Man", so let's shoot it, anyway, everyone knows that he is another important figure who made the world realize Chinese kung fu after Bruce Lee, and "Ip Man" is indeed very good.
But you shouldn't have done it, what should you do with the Hong Kong British political axe?
Even though China and Britain are arguing over the "return of Hong Kong", haven't they yet made a final decision?
Are you Wang Xiaohu so anxious to hug the thighs of Chinese mainland?
In a high-end club in Hong Kong, Li Ka-shing, Fok Ying-tung, and Bao Yugang are leisurely playing golf.
Bao Yugang waved a shot and said: "Wang Xiaohu has been smooth sailing over the years, almost never experienced too many setbacks, and over time he has formed a problem of great joy, I think he took too big a step this time, too anxious, maybe both sides are not pleased, and he has planted all his net worth into it!" ”
Li Ka-shing raised the club and made an aiming gesture, saying: "According to my observation over the years, I feel that Wang Xiaohu should not do something that he is not sure about this time, maybe he was secretly instructed by Zhongnanhai when he went to Yanjing last time." With that, the club swung hard, and the small white ball flew out in an arc.
"I think so too!" Huo Yingdong carried the club and said with a smile: "I just don't know what benefits he can get from Yanjing, if I have his influence, I will definitely negotiate with them." ”
"Hahaha, of course you are qualified to negotiate!" Li Ka-shing shook his head and said: "Don't look at Wang Xiaohu's public opinion industry, sometimes public opinion will backfire if it is not in a good direction, far less reassuring than our industry." ”
At that time, when the Korean War broke out, the United States realized the important strategic position of Hong Kong and was worried that China would use Hong Kong as a bridge to transport all kinds of strategic materials, so the United States united with other countries to completely block material support to China, and Hong Kong was a place where Americans strictly guarded against it.
Fok Ying-tung secretly sent all kinds of weapons, food, and medicines to the mainland under the noses of the British and Americans in Hong Kong, and while taking risks, he not only gained a solid family fortune, but also maintained close ties with the mainland.
So Li Ka-shing will say that Fok Yingdong has the qualifications to negotiate with Yanjing.
It's just that this qualification has weakened little by little with the changes of the times, and it is far less difficult than the qualification of Wang Xiaohu, who is in the limelight.
"I think who didn't survive one after another when we dealt with the British, if it weren't for a few of us helping each other, we might have been bullied to death by the ghosts." Huo Yingdong said with emotion: "If you want me to say, it's not a bad thing to let Wang Xiaohu take a heel, he is still too tender!" ”
Li Ka-shing and Bao Yugang both nodded.
When the three of them arrived at the next swing, Li Ka-shing suddenly said: "If Wang Xiaohu is too ruthless this time, he may collapse, have you ever thought about taking some spare money out to make a movie?" ”
As soon as Li Ka-shing said this, Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong were stunned for a moment, Bao Yugang frowned and thought for a long time and said: "You just said, a kind of film media entertainment, this thing is too particular about public opinion, I am worried about being trapped, or the two of you toss." ”
"Lao Huo, what about you?" Li Ka-shing asked Fok Ying-tung, who muttered: "It doesn't matter if you do it, but where do we go to find professionals?" ”
"If Wang Xiaohu is planted, several of his satellite companies will definitely panic, and we will appropriately fund a few, so that we can take less risk and get good dividends." Li Ka-shing said.
"It seems that you have a bad heart for Wang Xiaohu!" Huo Yingdong suddenly realized: "Lao Li, did you say that you have been thinking about it for a long time?" ”
Li Ka-shing scolded with a smile: "I'm not worried about Wang Xiaohu, but I feel that the profits brought by the movie are too rich." ”
Bao Yugang laughed and said: "I feel no different, but don't say I didn't remind you two, Run Run Shaw is a big man in the film and television industry, when Bruce Lee died, he still wanted to bargain, who knew that later the two sides exchanged shares, Lao Shao not only didn't get the slightest bargain, but even the Shaw brothers were surpassed by Concord." ”
"These are two different things." Li Ka-shing said
If Li Ka-shing and Fok Ying-tung, the two richest people, want to enter the Hong Kong film industry through formal channels, then there is a force that has already been involved in the film industry and has been withheld for several years and has begun to move at this moment, they are the two brothers Hong Huasheng and Hong Huaqiang of Hong Xingshe.
After the death of his biggest opponent Shen Guohao, 14K completely cowered in Kowloon City, almost relying on the shadow of Wang Xiaohu to survive, losing a strong rival like 14K, Hung Xing Society can be described as the most hard-line society among the underground forces in Hong Kong.
The purpose of the Hong brothers to enter the film and television industry is quite simple, that is, to launder money, to bleach the illegal funds of the Hong Xingshe by investing in films, raising the box office and other means.
It can be said that if it were not for the strong strength of Wang Xiaohu and the ruthless style of the Hong brothers, most of the Hong Kong film companies would have become their money laundering tools.
Now that it is rumored that Wang Xiaohu is a spy on the mainland, and the news that the British political axe in Hong Kong wants to clean up Wang Xiaohu, the people of Hong Kong are happiest than the Hong brothers!
"Damn, after being pressed by Wang Xiaohu for so many years, I can finally take a breath!" Hong Huasheng gritted his teeth and said.
Hong Huaqiang nodded and said: "Yes, as long as he moves this roadblock, we will inevitably separate the Concord and the International melon, and by the way, we will also wipe out the 14k." ”
"Big brother, remember to snatch the Dragon and Tiger Martial Arts Union, with it, we will be able to fully monopolize all the costume film markets in Hong Kong."
Wang Xiaohu didn't know that the public opinion that he was going to do free publicity had aroused the concerns of many "people with a heart".
In addition to "Ming Pao," other newspapers are reporting all kinds of rumors about Wang Xiaohu's "wrong development line," "I don't know how high the sky is," and "Concordia and the International are not far from going out of business."
Concordia International also experienced a small panic first, but this panic did not last for half a day, because the employees saw that the boss was still leisurely going to work and leaving work, and the wages and various bonuses and benefits at the end of the year were still correct, and their hearts immediately calmed down.
If nothing else, I've been following Brother Tiger for almost ten years, and if Concordia is really as dangerous as rumored outside, the high-level people would have been in chaos.
So what should everyone do, do their own work, and then happily go home with their salaries to buy New Year's goods and prepare for the New Year.
Wang Xiaohu is also busy buying New Year's goods, and in the past few days, he and his wife have adjusted the decoration style of the home, compared with the simple style in the past, there is more elegance and heaviness.
If it was a few years ago, Wang Xiaohu would never worry about these things, after all, there was Zhao Yazhi at home to help him, and it would not be his turn to worry about it.
This year is different, one is that the mother-in-law has warned many times: you are about to enter the year of standing, and the decoration and layout of the home must be changed.
Wang Xiaohu didn't know where his mother-in-law heard this ridiculous statement, but he still did it, and Bruce Lee's family would also live in for the New Year, so it was not like to clean up the warmth of the house.
After living for a few days, Wang Xiaohu breathed a sigh of relief, and was sitting on the newly purchased sofa to rest, A Bao came in and said, "Brother Hu, there is a Mr. Yu who wants to see you." ”
"Mr. Yu?" Wang Xiaohu raised his eyebrows, his heart can't be Yu Yongjian, right?
It seems that in his memory, he is the only one with the surname Yu.
"Hurry up, please." Wang Xiaohu said busily, and asked Aunt Xiang to prepare refreshments.
After listening to the sound of footsteps in the courtyard, Wang Xiaohu got up and went out to greet him.
"I didn't expect that Yu Lao was really here."
Yu Yongjian smiled: "Nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, let me make a long story short, I'm here to ask you what you want." ”
"Huh?" Wang Xiaohu was stunned for a moment, and after inviting Yu Yongjian to sit down, he asked, "Where do you start with this?" ”
"Xiaohu, don't you watch the news outside?" Yu Yongjian said.
Wang Xiaohu suddenly realized, and said with a smile: "Look at what those things do, it's all nonsense, and I'm still angry when I see it, so it's better not to look at it." ”
Yu Yongjian shook his head again and again when he heard this: "You are trying to clear your heart, but you have worried me for a long time." ”
"Old Yu, what are you worried about?" Wang Xiaohu poured him hot tea steadily and asked with a smile.
"Now there are rumors and everything, I really don't understand what you think, it's not good for Concord and International's reputation to go on like this."
Yu Yongjian muttered: "After decades of development, Hong Kong films have finally ushered in the first golden year of development, and Concord International is the leader of Hong Kong films. ”
"Huh." Wang Xiaohu took a sip of tea, he really didn't expect that the first person to come to the door to persuade him would be Yu Yongjian.
To say that Yu Yongjian is a veteran of Hong Kong films, his love for Hong Kong films has an admirable madness, especially in the years after he became the editor-in-chief of "Film Fortnightly", he not only led film criticism to a channel of positive development, but also devoted himself to the formulation of various selection rules for the first Academy Awards.
And what he said just now reveals his love for Hong Kong films, and his concern that Wang Xiaohu's decision may trigger a series of adverse consequences.
