After returning to Hong Kong, Wang Xiaohu stayed at home every day to write the script of "Shocking" in addition to going to Concord Company to deal with some things. [No pop-up novel network]

That's right, what Wang Xiaohu is writing now is a script about the Tangshan earthquake, but the name has been changed to "Earth-shattering", speaking of which the natural phenomenon of earthquakes is indeed earth-shattering, at least, Wang Xiaohu is very satisfied with this title.

Before writing this book, Wang Xiaohu thought about it for a long time, and always felt that it was difficult to merge commercial elements and educational significance. Just the overall structure of the storyline, he has used different versions of the content of "2012", "Tangshan Earthquake", "Catastrophe", "10.5 magnitude earthquake", since it is necessary to take into account the commercial elements, and the largest export market is the United States, he wants to learn from the personal heroism of the Americans, that is to say, in "Shocking" in addition to showing the shocking effect of the earthquake at the beginning, but also to emphasize the factor of "self-help".

There's no way, who makes the current Americans like this tune very much, don't you see that Bruce Lee used this trick to convince Hong Kong people back then, which shows the important position of "personal heroism" in commercial blockbusters.

All disaster movies are loved by audiences around the world, in addition to being able to enjoy an unprecedented visual impact, the rest is nothing to find "crying" to suffer, every disaster movie acts as a miracle effect of leg fatigue, Wang Xiaohu only watched the pictures of the Wenchuan earthquake on the Internet, and his heart was sad to death, he still remembered the scene when he watched "Tangshan Earthquake" in the theater, the whole theater was choked and cried, when Wang Xiaohu saw Xu Fan kneeling in front of Zhang Jingchu, his throat suddenly felt like something was stuck, After watching the film, I didn't get back to it for several days.

Special effects plus family affection (or love, friendship) plus personal heroism plus tear gas, this is a necessary theme link for a disaster film, integrating such a hodgepodge together, absolutely testing Wang Xiaohu's skills, so the script of "Earthbreaking" is created very slowly, Wang Xiaohu has to consider the different appreciation of audiences from various countries from time to time and the effect after broadcasting, and also check a lot of common sense about earthquake prevention and disaster prevention, for which he specially set up a membership card of Kowloon Library.

In this way, he has been busy for more than a month, Wang Xiaohu's study has been full of all kinds of discarded manuscript paper and books about earthquakes, he is now "2012", "Tangshan Earthquake", "Catastrophe", "10.5 magnitude earthquake" and other disaster scripts are written, and then according to the effect they want to add, sort, modify, but also consider the commercial surname and logical surname of the script, in short, he has only made two versions of the script, but he is not satisfied, and still continues to write according to this creative model, Such passionate creations did not last, and when December came, Wang Xiaohu's house finally ushered in a rare guest.

said that it was a rare guest, because this person had never visited the door, he and Wang Xiaohu were either in the company or in the teahouse to talk about things, and this person was Run Run Shaw who kept a grudge against Wang Xiaohu.

The sixth uncle knocked on the door of the study with a cane, and the first thing he said when he met was: "Stinky boy, finally let me find you!" ”

Looking at the menacing Run Run Shaw, Wang Xiaohu had to stop creating, and carefully put away the fountain pen that Bruce Lee gave back then, and then asked in confusion: "Sixth uncle, who provoked you, so angry." ”

Run Run Shaw sat opposite Wang Xiaohu by himself, and said angrily: "It's you stinky boy!" ”

"Ugh!" Wang Xiaohu touched his nose and asked with some puzzlement: "Sixth uncle, I have been writing scripts at home obediently this month, and I don't remember anything that offended your old man." ”

"Humph! And said no! Run Run Shaw put up his crutches and pointed at Wang Xiaohu's nose: "Your kid promised me half a year ago that he would complete the filming of the last ten episodes of "Jingwumen", and now half a year has passed, you are either wandering around the United States, or writing scripts at home, I want to ask, are you still the major shareholder of TVB, why don't you even care about your own company's TV series?" ”

After Run Run Shaw finished speaking, he poked the ground with his crutches and made a thumping sound, as if he was venting his strong dissatisfaction with Wang Xiaohu in this way.

In the past, it was not a matter of the schedules of other actors in the crew, but now those actors are free, but Wang Xiaohu is busy, so that this TV series, which should have been filmed in two months, has dragged on for almost two years, speaking of which, it is really Wang Xiaohu's turn to be embarrassed, he first looked at the elder Run Run Shaw with apologetic eyes, and then moved his lips and said sincerely: "Uncle Six, I'm sorry." ”

"Oops!" Run Run Shaw was shocked when he heard this, and said in his heart that the sun came out of that side today, and this kid's conscience found out what's wrong, and he actually began to apologize!

Shaw, who was accustomed to being squeezed all the time and suffered losses, was really a little uncomfortable for a while in the face of Wang Xiaohu's sincere apology, and after a long time, he was blinking his eyes, and the anger just now was also gone at this time.

Run Run Shaw sighed, "Xiaohu, Uncle Sixth knows that you have approached me several times for this matter before, and you also know that you have to run both in Hong Kong and the United States, and Uncle Sixth can understand the hardships during this period, but in more than 50 days, it will be your brother's taboo."

Wang Xiaohu's heart trembled, yes, in more than 50 days, it will be Brother Xiaolong's taboo, but I didn't expect that Brother Xiaolong had been gone for two years.

Wang Xiaohu only felt sad in his heart, and after a while, he woke up from his grief, nodded vigorously and promised: "Sixth uncle, don't worry about this, I will definitely finish the TV series within a month, and it will definitely be broadcast on TVB before January 20 next year." ”

Don't look at Wang Xiaohu is only 21 years old, but as long as what he promised will definitely be done, Run Run Shaw is convinced of this.

After this matter was resolved, Run Run Shaw began to care about Wang Xiaohu's recent situation: "Boy, what have you been tossing recently, I don't see your figure, Long Wu's girl came to my house a few days ago to inquire about your current situation." ”

"Oops, oh no!" Hearing Long Zichen's name, the expression on Wang Xiaohu's face suddenly became richer, and he patted his head and said: "Oh, I'm afraid I released Zichen's pigeon again this time, saying that I would prepare more than a dozen songs for her, but it has been delayed until now and has not been fulfilled, oops, it really shouldn't be!" ”

Run Run Shaw looked at Wang Xiaohu, who was full of embarrassment, and said with a smile: "What, do you owe any romantic debts, do you want Uncle Six to help you solve it?" ”

It's a bunch of troubles again, the five girls of the Long family who maintain a good impression of themselves, Wang Xiaohu now feels big when he thinks of Long Zichen, scratches his head and takes out the posture of a dead pig who is not afraid of boiling water, sighs and says: "Look at what you said, sixth uncle, I am that kind of person!" ”

"Hehe, okay, okay, you young people's affairs Uncle Six doesn't care. What the hell have you been up to lately? ”

Wang Xiaohu pondered for a moment and said: "I'm working on the script for next year's Oscars, and I also want to use this film to have a good relationship with the mainland." ”

Whether it was entering the Oscars or establishing good relations with the mainland, Shaw felt a strong interest, and after he sighed, he frowned and said: "What kind of script makes you so tired." ”

"A disaster movie." Wang Xiaohu rubbed his temples, handed over the two scripts and said, "Sixth Uncle, you can take a look first, and if you are interested, you can participate." ”

Run Run Shaw took out his reading glasses from his jacket pocket and put them on the bridge of his nose for half an hour, then he put the reading glasses aside, raised his head and looked at Wang Xiaohu in a daze, his eyes were full of some complicated eyes.

"Xiaohu, if you want to use this film to enter the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, I don't think it's a problem." After reading the script, Run Run Shaw thought for a long time before saying: "If you want to use this film to build a good relationship with the mainland, I'm afraid you will waste your efforts, you should know the current form of the mainland, I don't understand why a smart person like you would do such a childish thing." ”

"Childish?" Wang Xiaohu smiled bitterly and shook his head and said, "How do you say this? ”

Run Run Shaw asked with a serious expression: "Let me ask you, what do you mean by having good relations with the mainland?" ”

"For example, to leave some good impressions on the mainland, for example, to let them know the development of our Hong Kong films, for example, let me shoot this film to be released in the mainland or something," Wang Xiaohu listed one by one.

As Wang Xiaohu said more "such as", the more banter in Shaw's eyes became stronger, and when he heard Wang Xiaohu say, "For example, go to the mainland to shoot movies, set up a branch in the mainland, and open up the mainland market", he finally couldn't help but hit the ground vigorously with his cane, and reprimanded in a loud voice: "Xiaohu, how long do you want to dream!" What you said can't be achieved in the current environment, do you know, now that the mainland is undergoing the Cultural Revolution, it is impossible to enter the mainland to make films, even if people agree to let you go in to film, your words and deeds will be monitored, and it is impossible to get back the films you made! ”

Shaw finished speaking loudly, gasping for breath, and it was clear that he had just been very excited.

If it weren't for the fact that the two had a good relationship, Run Run Shaw would probably pick up a cane and hit Wang Xiaohu's head to make him stop this crazy idea of dreaming in vain immediately!

Wang Xiaohu shrugged his shoulders disapprovingly, and said with a smile: "Sixth uncle, don't be excited, I know what you said very well, and I also know that this matter is tantamount to a dream, but our Hong Kong will eventually return to the mainland, and in a few years, the domestic situation will change greatly, and then it will be a good opportunity for us to enter the mainland market." I'm just preparing for this now. ”

"How do you know that Hong Kong is going to return!" Shaw was shocked.
