619 Ann can tell that I am male and female
For Wang Xiaohu to give up the competition for the Academy Awards, more than ninety percent of people expressed great incomprehension. γReading.comγ
It is said that "Myth" was released for half a year, the North American box office reached an unprecedented 270 million US dollars, Hong Kong, Southeast Asia, the United Kingdom, France, Italy box office have shown a good momentum, by the end of 1980, the overseas box office won 117 million, the global box office 387 million, not counting which part of Chinese mainland gave away 15 million (half a year), "Myth" has shown strong commercial value.
Why did Wang Xiaohu give up?
Could it be that there is no money, if Concord has no money, then where will the nearly 400 million money go?
Some people speculate that Concord currently seems to have unlimited scenery, but in fact, its internal finances are full of holes, for example, they used thousands of PLA soldiers from the mainland to shoot "Myth" this time, which is also the first in the history of world films, so those hundreds of millions were sent to the mainland to fill the hole!
Some people also say that Wang Xiaohu recognized his ancestors in the mainland a few years ago and invested hundreds of millions of yuan to contribute to the mainland!
Some people even say that Wang Xiaohu invested money in "Shaolin Temple", and spent hundreds of millions of dollars to repair the majesty of Shaolin Temple, and became the great monk of Shaolin Temple.
For a while, the Hong Kong media said everything, anyway, they thought that Wang Xiaohu had no money!
What about money? It's all transferred to the mainland!
In the face of these rumors, many Hong Kong filmmakers who were lucky were like digging into the corner of Concord, but they found that the employees of Concord still maintained the previous work routine, and there was no sign of panic at all.
"It must be posturing!"
"yes, see how long you can hold out!" Another tabloid corloid also held on to this view.
In the end, Run Run Shaw did not persuade Wang Xiaohu, he thought the same as most people, since "Myth" is already so popular, why not add a fire to make "Myth" more flames.
"Face!!" After Run Run Shaw said this sentence in pain, he left with a long sigh.
Zhao Yazhi knew her husband's stinky temper, and hurriedly helped Run Run Shaw out of the house, and only after seeing him get into the car did she go home with confidence.
"Ah Hu, Lao Dou is very angry with you, in a few days, I will take Jia En over to probe the wind, and after his old man is angry, you will accompany him in the past."
Wang Xiaohu also sighed, got up from the sofa and stretched his waist and said, "Okay, this kind of thing is still good at women, I'm just a stinky stone, don't talk about it, go write a new script." β
"What's your new plan?" Zhao Yazhi frowned and said: "If the wine is not sold", "Mom loves me again", "Huo Yuanjia" is not enough for you to be busy?" β
Wang Xiaohu smiled when he heard this, stretched out his hand to hook his wife's chin and said, "This time, it's a women's play." β
"Women's play?" Zhao Yazhi thought for a moment, "Is it written for Qingxia?" β
"Sort of!" Wang Xiaohu nodded: "I originally wanted to write it to you, but you have stopped filming in recent years, and only Qingxia can deduce that heroic temperament in this drama, don't be jealous." β
"What kind of jealousy am I?" Zhao Yazhi patted her husband's hand away and said: "Concord has only two signed female artists, and now Gillian has filming, and it is not a way to hang Qingxia all the time." β
"Actually, it didn't leave her idle, did it? Tsui Hark has a "The Legend of the Swordsman of Xinshu Mountain" over there, which is enough for her to toss for a while. Wang Xiaohu shrugged his shoulders and said: "What's wrong with the lack of female artists in Concord, it's not a vase anyway." β
After saying that, he was about to go upstairs, but Zhao Yazhi grabbed him and asked, "You haven't said what script it is!" β
"Mr. Wang, Old Man Shen is here."
The security guard at home walked in at this time and said.
"Shen Laodou?" Zhao Yazhi smiled lightly when she heard this, looked at her husband and said, "I guess I'm here to scold you again!" β
"Hey! It's face again, it's face again, we Chinese just can't pass the face level! Wang Xiaohu patted his forehead and sat on the sofa angrily.
Shen Zhong, who walked in the door, laughed when he heard this: "Don't, don't put me and a guy like Run Run Shaw in the same ranks, I don't care if I don't have any face, as long as I can make money." β
"Oh, it's rare that you said Lao Dou to my heart." After Wang Xiaohu said this, he thought that something was wrong, "No, it is said that the people in your club have the best face." β
"You're talking about those guys who just started in the industry!" Shen Zhong corrected with a smile: "An old guy like me has been in the industry for a long time, so he is greedy for life and afraid of death, and making money quietly is the right way." β
Wang Xiaohu felt that sweat began to break out on his forehead, and said in his heart, does this old guy still have the aura of a gangster boss, if he lets the 14k gang of little guys listen, won't he be in the nest?
So he sneered and said, "Old Bean, the purpose of your visit this time"
"Shaolin Temple!" Shen Zhong was also direct this time, and asked the person below to hand over two boxes and put them on the table: "I'll buy a copy of your "Shaolin Temple", well, I picked up more than 9 million for nothing last time, this time I didn't come empty-handed, there are 10 million here, how about you give me 10 copies?" β
"Poof!" Wang Xiaohu almost squirted out the tea in his mouth, and laughed for a long time before saying, "You don't want to, right?" β
Shen Zhong glared at him and said, "What's the matter, do you still think that my money is black money and dirty your hands?" Xiaohu, let me tell you, this money is my hard work to invest in the film industry, clean and tight, in a word, sell it or not! β
"That's not what I'm talking about." Wang Xiaohu waved his hand and said: "It doesn't matter if you give you 10 for nothing, you don't have to come with two boxes of money so loudly, and those who don't know still think that we are trading underground." β
"That's not good, I'm not the old bastard of Run Run Shaw, his mother's TVB made so much money with your two TV series, that old guy is too stingy!" Shen Zhong said and opened the batch of boxes, and there were stacks of brand-new Hong Kong dollars lying inside: "Xiaohu, one yard is one yard, this is a 14k business, not my old man's own business, you can accept it!" β
Wang Xiaohu stared at the pile of Hong Kong dollars, and said after a long time: "Okay, anyway, it's all about making Taiwanese money, but I can only give you a copy." β
Shen Zhong didn't turn the corner for a while, and after looking at Wang Xiaohu's meaningful smile, he patted his forehead and said, "Understood, I understand!" Same as last time, same as last time! Hahaha! β
Shen Zhong knows that Wang Xiaohu is not involved in crime, so this copy is still given away for free, and as for how 14K uses their network to peddle to Taiwanese filmmakers, it has nothing to do with Wang Xiaohu. And the money brought this time will also be transferred to Concord Company in multiple times through other serious channels.
Anyway, Concord's current industry is very extensive, not to mention anything else, there are not a few crew lists that Concord Film and Television City receives every day, and since Shen Zhong has joined the film industry, he can spend the money through formal channels such as renting the studio of Concord Film and Television City.
"Hey, to put it bluntly, you still care about face!"
Shen Zhong's words almost made Wang Xiaohu choke again, before Wang Xiaohu was mad, Shen Zhong had already left with two boxes of money and laughing.
"This old fellow!" Wang Xiaohu smiled bitterly and shook his head, the boss is still like an old naughty boy when he is old.
After Shen Zhong left, Wang Xiaohu sat in the living room for more than ten minutes, he was really worried that his butt didn't leave the sofa, and someone came to persuade him to change his mind, but no one came after sitting for a long time, Suo shrugged his shoulders, and went up to the second floor with tea.
In the study, Zhao Yazhi was carefully looking at the outline of the script that her husband was writing, and after hearing the footsteps behind her, she put down the script, turned around and said, "You're right, this script is indeed prepared for Qingxia, and ordinary people can't play it." β
Wang Xiaohu smiled and said, "It's good if you don't say I'm biased." β
Holding his wife in his arms, Wang Xiaohu said: "Actually, I have been brewing a better script for you, and you have asked me several times before, but I still refuse to say that it is because the script is very large, and I don't know where to start with all the content involved." β
"What exactly is it, and what is the basis of the main line?" Zhao Yazhi knows that her husband's current main film and television works have a looming main line, for example, the main line of "Mythology" is to promote the Terracotta Warriors and Horses of Qin Shi Huang, and "Shaolin Temple" is to reproduce the majesty of the thousand-year-old temple.
"The Complete Legend of the White Snake and The Legend of Leifeng Tower." Wang Xiaohu said with a smile.
"Hey, are those two books you keep on your bedside?" Zhao Yazhi was surprised, these two books have been placed in front of the bed in the bedroom for three years, and when her husband is usually at home, he always reads them for a while before going to bed.
"That's right! The folklore of Leifeng Pagoda, the story of the thousand-year-old snake demon Bai Suzhen and Xu Xian. Wang Xiaohu said: "I am not sure of perfection yet." β
"Oh." When Zhao Yazhi knew that her husband had been doing this for herself in obscurity for the past few years, the sweetness in her heart was raised, and after hugging her husband's neck and offering a wet kiss, she said: "The official writes slowly, and I will tell Qingxia the good news." β
"Hehe, don't tell her so early, lest she push Tsui Hark's new film off the schedule." Wang Xiaohu said.
"It's okay, Qingxia is very sensible." Zhao Yazhi had already gone downstairs when she said this.
Wang Xiaohu sat down again, sorted out his thoughts, picked up the pen and wrote: "Double rabbits walk on the ground, An can tell that I am male and female!" β
After writing these two sentences, Wang Xiaohu looked at the script and suddenly laughed, it has been several years since Lin Qingxia was signed, how wronged she was by letting her family raise her as a vase in the company, it's time to let Qingxia fly!
Thinking of this, Wang Xiaohu was full of motivation.
