On the surface, Wang Xiaohu's business has been greatly hindered, and the crew of "Mulan" cannot enter the mainland for filming, and is in the stage of complete shutdown. [Full text reading]

In fact, Wang Xiaohu took advantage of this opportunity to lay a good foundation for the company's future development, and I have to say that Wang Xiaohu's various emotional investments in the mainland over the years have begun to play a role.

First of all, Zhao Gang's side, Lao Zhao truthfully reported to the above what happened in Hong Kong in the past few days, and the above still agreed that Wang Xiaohu could respond in a timely manner, which shows that Wang Xiaohu is still very prestigious, convincing, and powerful in the Hong Kong film industry.

The second is the Ministry of Culture, Minister Huang submitted the interim management measures for the co-production of "Myth" when filming "Myth", and after a few days of discussion, it was directly adopted, in addition to maintaining the original interim measures, it also added the method of determining the standards for the welfare of both parties to the co-production, and the content and lens of the filmed film must not be slandered or framed against the mainland.

Finally, it was also noted that other Hong Kong film companies other than Concord only had 25% of the box office share.

Liao Gong also played a role at a critical moment, reporting all aspects of Shaolin's current development upwards and submitting the world's current attention to China.

All the data shows that Wang Xiaohu has played a very important role in promoting Chinese culture, especially the "Shaolin Temple", not to mention the huge sensation caused by the book in neighboring countries, the release in the United States alone has driven a considerable number of tourists for China.

In particular, Wang Xiaohu injected a lot of funds to further improve the renovation work of Shaolin Temple, and sorted out the Shaolin culture in an orderly manner in just a few months.

All these show that movies play an irreplaceable and important role in promoting Chinese culture.

In the 80s, when Chinese films are currently weak, Wang Xiaohu, as a Hong Kong native, spared no effort to promote Chinese culture, where to find such a "living Lei Feng"?

As a result, the Ministry of Culture took over and turned it into a small matter, and Liu Jialiang came to the mainland to publicly apologize, and the Ministry of Culture made a peacemaker, and the contradictions between the two sides were offset, but it was not so easy for "North and South Shaolin" to restart

"What Minister Huang means is that this matter depends on your attitude, if you let go, you will let Liu Jialiang go through the form, and let "North and South Shaolin" continue to start." Zhao Gang held a Chinese cigarette and said to Wang Xiaohu in the study.

"Hey, the ball is coming to me again." Wang Xiaohu held his chin and sighed.

"I don't have an opinion on this matter, as long as Jet Li, Yu Hai, and Ji Chunhua are angry." Wang Xiaohu tapped on the document on the table and said, "I am going to deal with this matter with all my strength now." ”

Zhao Gang leaned over to take a look, and suddenly felt dizzy, the documents on the desktop were all in English, and he couldn't read them anyway. "What's written on it?"

Wang Xiaohu smiled and said, "Trade secrets, do you want to listen to them?" ”

Zhao Gang hurriedly took a step back, shook his hand and said, "Forget it, I don't want to be regarded as a commercial spy, I'll go out and smoke a cigarette." ”

Zhao Gang has a very clear distinction between public and private affairs, as long as it involves the internal secrets of Wang Xiaohu's company, he will choose to avoid it, which is deeply appreciated by Wang Xiaohu.

"Wait, don't rush to go." Wang Xiaohu stopped Zhao Gang and groaned: "Is it particularly cold in Inner Mongolia now?" ”

"It's cold, it's already snowing, and it's mid-November!" Zhao Gang said.

"Oh, then our "Mulan" crew can't go over there to film, we have to wait until next spring." Wang Xiaohu smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Liu Jialiang's matter has been delayed for half a month!" ”

"Who's to say it isn't." Zhao Gang also nodded and said, "Then I'll report to the above." ”

"Hmm."

Since it is snowing in Inner Mongolia and the temperature in the entire northern region must be low, and in the protection measures for the crew, Wang Xiaohu can only decide to temporarily shut down "Mulan", and wait until the weather warms up next year to shoot there and complete the final shooting plan.

As for the moment, he decided to take a good rest and take care of the documents sent by Winterdur this time.

It is not an exaggeration to say that this document in English is a trade secret, and it shows the development of the former Hollywood giant "Luen Mei" in the past six months.

The reason why Luen Mei is a former giant is because Luen Mei has completely collapsed at this moment, and "Heaven's Gate" is worthy of being a disaster movie, because of the continuous additional costs during the filming of the film, which led to the inconvenience of Luen Mei's capital turnover.

At the beginning of the year, Luen Mei also made a slight improvement with "Raging Bull", but the income of millions has always been a drop in the bucket in the face of tens of millions of holes, so now Luen Mei is looking for new buyers.

According to the information provided by Winterdur, at present, several major Hollywood film companies do not want to touch the mess of Lianmei, even the deep-pocketed MGM company is only showing a little interest, but the price offered is quite low, only 200 million US dollars.

"I want to buy an old giant like Luen Mei for 200 million US dollars, that guy who is gambling is too stingy, right?" Wang Xiaohu couldn't help crying and laughing when he saw this.

Thinking about Corkerian's MGM company, Wang Xiaohu couldn't smile bitterly for a while, saying that "007: Casino Royale", which started filming at the beginning of this year, has not finished filming yet!

The script was provided by Wang Xiaohu, but the guy Corkrian arranged it randomly, resulting in continuous failures in the process of filming, in Wang Xiaohu's opinion, since Mr. Wang doesn't know how to make movies, it is best to entrust the film to the director, and then wait for the film to be completed, just count the money at home, but the gambling king feels that since he wants to shoot a gambling film, he is at least a big expert, well, the tragedy of the connoisseur, isn't it?

Other film companies don't want to wipe their butts for Luen Mei Company, but Wang Xiaohu has this thought, after all, Concord's current strength in Hollywood is still a little thin, if you take the opportunity to acquire and expand Luen Mei, Concord will replace Luen Mei as a new generation of Hollywood's eight giants.

"Lao Wen, help me test the bottom limit of Lianmei, that's right, that's what I mean, I want to buy Lianmei, hahaha, it seems that we want to go together, thank you for providing this valuable news in time, okay, good night."

Wang Xiaohu hung up the phone happily, snapped his fingers and came out of the study, with Lao Wen, a know-it-all, coming forward to deal with the acquisition of Lianmei, Wang Xiaohu can be much easier, after all, he is not very proficient in business, as for how Lao Wen works hard, that is his business.

"Mulan" is down, "Condor Shooting" is in a comprehensive preparation stage, Concord Company seems to be a rare relaxation for a while, and Wang Xiaohu also has a rare time to play with his son, but Wang Jiaen is almost five years old, not as fun as when he was a child, naughty and clever.

"Son, let's go, go out for a run with Dad." Wang Xiaohu took his son's little hand and said.

Wang Jiaen shook his head and said, "It's not good to run, I'm too tired, let's go to the amusement park to play, you have never accompanied me since I was a child." ”

Wang Xiaohu was stunned, what his son said was right, since the little guy was born, his work has become more and more busy, and he will not meet his son for more than three hours every day, and as long as he finds time, he will either take his son to play Wing Chun or do training, and now the little guy is complaining.

"Okay, let's go to the amusement park."

Wang Xiaohu, who is used to being busy, once stopped, always felt a little uncomfortable, in addition to the fixed practice every day, that is, to play with his son, after five days of rest, the two of them went to the amusement park twice.

On the sixth day, Winterdur called.

"Boss, good news, I got the price with Victor, the president of Luen Mei." Winterdur whistled excitedly and said, "Their floor is $500 million, and it can't be lower." ”

"Five hundred million dollars?" Wang Xiaohu smiled and said, "What does it include?" ”

"All, Luen Mei's office building, 300 employees, and their rich inventory of copyrights, and, of course, their foreign debts, of which nearly $40 million, "Heaven's Gate" is worthy of the catastrophe of Luen Mei Company, which actually made them $40 million in debt."

"Doesn't that sound bad~" Wang Xiaohu nodded: "Can you lower it a little more?" ”

"I'll try again, anyway, there doesn't seem to be any other company interested in them other than us at the moment." Winterdur said on the phone.

"Lao Wen, after this matter is settled, you will get a two-month vacation, and I invite you to travel to China, how about it?"

"Haha, why not! I like China very much now, but I don't know if the Shaolin Temple will accept older monks like me. ”

"This one can be a bit difficult!" Wang Xiaohu shattered Winterdur's dream of becoming a monk: "If you go to Shaolin to become a monk, who will manage the company for me, so if you really want to learn Shaolin Kung Fu, I will consider giving you the status of a lay disciple." ”

"Really?" Winter Dulton became interested.

"Of course it's true." Wang Xiaohu doesn't say anything, how can he say that he is also the current major shareholder of Shaolin Temple, and he still has the right to arrange a lay disciple casually, so maybe Lao Wen will become the first American lay disciple of Shaolin Temple, what an interesting thing.

"Boss, can't you eat steak if you become a Shaolin kid?"

Wang Xiaohu was speechless for a moment, but he didn't expect Lao Wen to be a big fan of "Shaolin Temple"!
