Wang Xiaohu never expected that Jackie Chan would refuse him, he didn't turn a corner for a while, and after watching Jackie Chan for a while, he frowned and asked: "Do you feel that pushing the rail car is more interested than being the starring actor?" ”

Jackie Chan frowned when he saw Wang Xiaohu, knowing that what he just said made him not very happy, so he hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Ah Hu, don't misunderstand." [No pop-up novel network]"

"Oh, I wasn't mistaken." Wang Xiaohu smiled, leaned back on the back of the chair with his hands on his shoulders, "Tell me your feelings." ”

"That's the case, our Seven Little Blessing brothers all came to the front from behind the scenes, whether it is Sanmao or A Biao, or even A Hu you, everyone started from the Dragon and Tiger martial arts, and then rose to the martial arts instructor, only I chose to enter the industry from an actor, but I took the wrong path halfway, I thought about it for a long time, and found that this is not solid, and I found that there is a lot of happiness behind the scenes, although it is not as glorious as in front of the stage, but I still feel a sense of accomplishment after seeing the film sell well."

Jackie Chan lowered his head and said intermittently how he felt about returning to Qixiaofu in the past two years. Wang Xiaohu listened very carefully, he found that Jackie Chan has changed really a lot now, and the most commendable thing is that Jackie Chan's current mentality is very stable, what does this mean, it shows that the betrayal of the year left a big shadow in his heart, so that he heard how to say it when he returned to the stage, or should he say that he was afraid.

That's right, Jackie Chan is indeed a little scared, for six years, he has witnessed too many miracles of Ah Hu, not to mention anything else, just whoever he praises is popular, and what type of shooting is popular, which is enough to make people feel unfathomable.

Now, Ah Hu said that he wanted Jackie Chan to star in a film, his first reaction was excitement, yes, he has been away from the big screen for many years, he doesn't want to be a star, but he is afraid, he is afraid that he will get carried away after becoming a star, and he will be so arrogant that he will not be able to find the southeast and northwest.

At a deeper level, Jackie Chan is worried that he will not be able to control his ambitions!

Wang Xiaohu accurately grasped Jackie Chan's contradictory thoughts, to put it bluntly, this is already Jackie Chan's heart knot, and if the heart knot is not opened, Jackie Chan will not dare to take this film.

Wang Xiaohu held his chin and groaned for a long time before saying: "In this circle, it is difficult for anyone to develop if they don't have some ambitions. I know what you think, you don't have to worry about this, this is the script of the new film, you go back and study it carefully. ”

The script was placed on the table, Jackie Chan read and watched, and never dared to reach out to take it, but there were hundreds of small insects tossing in his heart, Wang Xiaohu took all this into his eyes, and suddenly felt funny, "That's it, I didn't design the action of this script, since you like to be behind the scenes, design the action of this script for me first." ”

Jackie Chan raised his head and looked at Wang Xiaohu a little blankly, seeing Wang Xiaohu with an expectant look on his face, he finally mustered up the courage to reach out and pick up the script, and after turning the first page and seeing the name of the new film, his eyes immediately widened.

"Police stories?"

"That's right, it's a police story." Wang Xiaohu smiled and said: "Hong Kong Governor Sir MacLehose gave us the political task, you should know the weight of this script, right?" ”

Jackie Chan nodded vigorously, not only that, but he also heard that people in the circle did not dare to take on this task, and it doesn't matter if the Hong Kong Governor can be satisfied after filming, if the audience doesn't buy it, it will be the most terrifying!

"Ah Hu, you asked me to design the action for this script?" Jackie Chan is still a little unconfident, "if yes"

"There are not so many assumptions!" Wang Xiaohu directly raised his hand and interrupted: "Yuan Kui and Yuan De also assumed this last year, don't you think "Hong Xiguan" is selling very well?" ”

After seeing that Jackie Chan was a little moved, Wang Xiaohu continued to pour confused soup: "To do a good job in this script, you can't be influenced by our brothers, whether it's my style, or the style of Yuan Kui, Yuan De or Sanmao and others, you can't imitate it." ”

"That" makes Jackie Chan a little embarrassed, after all, everyone is together every day, whose style is very clear, whose style occupies a large market share, whose actions are more attractive to the audience, this is all known, Ah Hu put forward such a request, isn't it forcing himself to innovate?

Wang Xiaohu pointed to his head and said: "Use your brains more to create a style of action that others can't imitate is the king, only by walking in front of others, you can gain a firm foothold in the market, remember, it's better to ask for others than for yourself!" ”

Jackie Chan walked out with the script, he didn't know anything in his heart, and when he walked to the door, he suddenly turned around and said, "Ah Hu, it doesn't matter how big the scene is?" ”

"Hmm." Wang Xiaohu nodded: "I'll give you a hint, if you want to open up a new path, you have to combine the script and reality, and more hints are waiting for you to dig in the script." Think about it, and remember to come to me when you encounter something you are not sure about. ”

"Oh." Jackie Chan left the office full of concern.

"His grandmother's, I can't imagine that Jackie Chan will be so restrained after a setback." After Wang Xiaohu waited for Jackie Chan to leave, he said with a smile: "It's like me begging him for nothing, it seems that this so-called commander medal is still a bit of a deterrent." ”

"Hong Xiguan" was released at the end of February, but it was suspended for half a month due to the "clean government turmoil", which shortened the original 35-day release period by half, which greatly affected the box office results. So when the painting was completed, "Hong Xiguan" ended with 8.95 million Hong Kong dollars.

No one will laugh at Wang Xiaohu's box office failure, because the box office shrinkage of the films released in the same period is more serious, taking Chu Yuan, the big director of Shaw Brothers, as an example, he has been cooperating with Gu Long in recent years, and the new film "Amorous Swordsman Ruthless Sword" happened to take advantage of Wang Xiaohu's ticket price discount policy when it was released, so after it was released, it won a good result of 1.6 million Hong Kong dollars in seven days, but after the "clean government storm", the box office of this movie in the theater has never risen again.

In the same situation, there are other companies, such as Fengyue films "Merry Tigers and Autumn Fragrance", "Spring Dream of Red Mansions", "Art Mirror" and other box office results are not satisfactory.

As of mid-April, the Southeast Asian box office of "Hong Xiguan" has reached a good result of 11.07 million Hong Kong dollars, which makes Run Run Shaw, Wu Siyuan, and Shen Zhong feel shocked!

"The box office list can't stop Wang Xiaohu's progress!" Run Run Shaw sighed.

"How good it would be if I could have half the strength of Wang Xiaohu!" Wu Siyuan said jealously, and at the same time made up his mind to follow Wang Xiaohu's footsteps, as long as Wang Xiaohu made a blockbuster movie, he would definitely follow the trend and carry forward the glorious tradition of others exploring the way forward and stepping on his heels to make a fortune.

Only Jin Yong smiled mysteriously after learning about the box office list, he knew what Wang Xiaohu was busy with recently, making movies to make money is no longer Wang Xiaohu's hobby, his current ideological consciousness has been raised to a higher level, and he is pursuing crazy goals that filmmakers have never thought of.

After being attacked by the whirlwind of costume martial arts in "Hong Xiguan", some Hong Kong filmmakers have regained confidence in costume martial arts films. Run Run Shaw once communicated with director Liu Jialiang for a long time, and after thinking about it for a long time, Liu Jialiang carefully took out the script that had been kept for several years, which was "Shaolin Thirty-six Rooms"!

This script was handed over to Liu Jialiang by Wang Xiaohu a few years ago, but at that time Liu Jialiang thought that his directorial level was not enough to shoot this script, after all these years of training, especially after the baptism of films such as "God Fight" and "Crazy Monkey", Liu Jialiang thought it was time to make this good book.

In fact, from a certain point of view, Liu Jialiang benefited a lot from cooperating with Wang Xiaohu in the TV series "Jingwumen", especially in terms of action design, Wang Xiaohu has always advocated Liu Jialiang to take the southern kung fu route, and it is also Liu Jialiang's goal to carry forward Lingnan martial arts, but this person is a little dead-eyed, thinking that the actions of "Hong Xiguan" are chic, but they do not take root under their feet, and they are not orthodox kung fu films.

"Do it well!" Shaw only has encouragement, no way, since Zhang Che was ordered to go to Taiwan to head Gong Pictures, Shaw Brothers' current kung fu film directors are only Liu Jialiang and Chu Yuan, but in recent years, Gu Long's works have begun to show signs of decay, only Liu Jialiang's one movie a year is still popular, and he barely supports this stall for Shaw Brothers.

"Fortunately, I have a stake in Concord!" Run Run Shaw knew very well that the Shaw dynasty had gone downhill, and was replaced by Concord Films, the kung fu dynasty founded by his godson Wang Xiaohu, which has taken more and more steps in recent years, and its influence and coverage have become more and more extensive.

Maybe in the eyes of outsiders, the Shaw Brothers still maintain the status of the king, but Run Run Shaw will not deceive himself like this, although the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, but Wang Xiaohu is a horse, that is clearly a tiger!

"The general trend is gone, the general trend is gone!" Run Run Shaw has to serve the old, after all, the years are unforgiving, and the world of Hong Kong movies will change sooner or later. However, the TV industry has gradually risen over the years, which has more or less balanced Uncle Six's heart, and he no longer suffers from gains and losses.

In fact, even Run Run Shaw himself may not know that it is his sudden emotion that the Shaw Brothers film dynasty is declining step by step

After the "integrity storm", MacLehose immediately reported the whole process of the incident to the British political axe, asked the domestic police service inspection team to help rectify the Hong Kong police force, and at the same time conducted a profound review of his own governorship career in recent years.

Her Royal Highness personally called Sir MacLehose, in which the Queen did not reproach him in the slightest, but encouraged him to boldly rectify the Hong Kong police force.

At this time, MacLehose immediately called the senior police officers of Hong Kong to convene a meeting, and formed an investigation committee composed of the Independent Commission Against Corruption, the police force, and the political axe to conduct a large-scale investigation of the registered police officers in Hong Kong, and asked them in detail about any other requirements and opinions they had from the police circles.

The investigation lasted for nearly two months, and the final results of the investigation were mainly reflected in two major aspects: first, it was necessary to improve the salaries, benefits and benefits of the current police officers, and second, the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) must conduct a self-inspection and not arrest people indiscriminately. MacLehose agrees with this very much, so the five-year-long rectification of the Hong Kong police sector kicked off

In the past two months, Wang Xiaohu has not been idle, while perfecting the script of "Myth", while waiting for news from the mainland.

It is not that he has made direct contact with the mainland now that it means that things will be easy to handle, in the two telephone contacts with Zhao Gang, he knows that although the mainland has completely defeated the Gang of Four, there is still a certain amount of controversy in the restoration of Deng Xiaoping's work, that is to say, the current domestic situation is not very stable, and the country's senior leaders are still studying what line to take in the future.

However, Wang Xiaohu still heard some news from Zhao Gang's mouth, such as Deng Xiaoping wrote a letter to the central government some time ago, opposing the "two whatevers"

The situation in the mainland is in the difficult march according to the annual rings of historical development, Wang Xiaohu also knows that he has nothing to do at this time, who makes himself just a filmmaker, and he is also a Hong Kong filmmaker, and it is better to do less things that are too against the sky.

After doing a good self-examination in his heart, Wang Xiaohu continued to maintain full passion to design the storyboard script of "Myth".

In the past two months, Wang Xiaohu has finally realized the difficulty of "revising the classics", some preconceived things are even more difficult to overthrow, not to mention that Wang Xiaohu is now doing something that is unprecedented in history, "Mythology" has placed him too much ambition and too many ideas, even if there is Li Bihua's perfect emotional line, it also makes him feel big!

To reflect China's huge cultural heritage, to shoot the big scenes of epic surnames, and to make the emotional route unconventional, it is obvious that just 120 minutes cannot reflect the whole of "Myth".

It's not a good thing to have too many ideas, Wang Xiaohu finally made a difficult choice, compressing the emotional line that occupies the whole film, and the main focus is on showing epic surnames and reflecting China's 5,000-year-old culture.

"After all, I want to promote this movie to Hollywood, and some foreigners with oriental elements may not be able to understand it, so it's better to "Wang Xiaohu thought like this, and suddenly a thought jumped out of his mind, and he suddenly had a smile on his face: "Why don't you just divide the story into two ends, one shoots "Myth" according to my plan, and the other makes "Qin Warriors" according to Li Bihua's original work? ”

Wang Xiaohu felt that this method was good, not only to achieve his goal, but also not to let a classic die because of this, and he was in a good mood at the moment to call Li Bihua, not wanting the phone to ring at this time.

"Hey, Xiaohu, come to me, your favorite Lin Qingxia has come to Hong Kong."
