If Zhang Xinyan is mentioned, it is estimated that not many people know who he is, but if the famous Shaolin Temple is mentioned, I believe that many people will have to express their respect for Zhang Xinyan with thunderous ears. [No pop-up novel network]

That's right, Zhang Xinyan is the director of "Shaolin Temple".

When "Shaolin Temple" was released in the mainland, it can be described as a prosperous world, a dime a movie ticket sold more than 100 million at the box office, and it was released in Hong Kong in January of the same year, which also set a super high box office record of 16.16 million Hong Kong dollars, and it became the highest-grossing kung fu film in Hong Kong under the complex political environment at that time.

The success of "Shaolin Temple" caused a global sensation, Jet Li himself also caused the second global martial arts boom after Bruce Lee, and he himself became an international superstar, making the world realize that Chinese martial arts created a precedent for real kung fu movies At the same time, it also made young people like Wang Xiaohu have a burning passion for martial arts since childhood, and everyone has a kung fu dream, which is the far-reaching influence brought by Zhang Xinyan and Jet Li.

However, these are all things that happened in the 80s in the previous life, and now it is 75 years, Zhang Xinyan is only a director with a good reputation in the Great Wall Film Production Company, and he once directed Hong Kong's first color film "Yunhai Jade Bow Edge" in 1966, and Wang Xiaohu knows better that the Great Wall Film Company at this time is not very glorious, and was once suppressed and banned by all walks of life in Hong Kong, because the Great Wall, Phoenix, and Xinlian film companies are called "leftists" by Hong Kong.

Before the mid-60s of the 20th century, in the Hong Kong film industry, the film production of the three leftist companies "The Great Wall", "Phoenix", and "Xinlian" not only successfully set up the screen banner of progressive films, but also had a relatively high creative status. At that time, the Hong Kong film industry emerged as the "four major companies" of Chinese films and the "four major companies" of Cantonese films, "Great Wall" and "Phoenix" accounted for two of the four major companies of Chinese films (the others were Shaw Brothers and Denmao), and "Xinlian" and "Zhonglian", "Guangyi" and "Overseas Chinese" were listed as the four major companies of Cantonese films. It can be seen that the leftist progressive films at that time had a strong momentum across Hong Kong's Chinese and Cantonese film circles.

In the years that followed, with the Cultural Revolution on the mainland, the status of leftist films in Hong Kong was directly affected.

"I've admired my name for a long time!" Wang Xiaohu raised his brows, held Zhang Xinyan's hand and said: "The "Yunhai Jade Bow Edge" directed by Comrade Zhang back then made me fascinated by it, amazing, amazing. ”

Wang Xiaohu greeted politely, in fact, he didn't have the slightest impression of this old film directed by Zhang Xinyan, but since Zhang Xinyan is here today, he always has to behave hypocrisy, intending to test the other party's intentions, after all, there is Run Run Shaw, accompanied by Liang of the Hong Kong branch of Xinhua News Agency, and then contact Zhang Xinyan's current identity, some vague things have been guessed by Wang Xiaohu.

"You're welcome, you're welcome." Zhang Xinyan is still a little restrained in front of Wang Xiaohu, which may have something to do with his surname and not very familiar with Wang Xiaohu, Wang Xiaohu is now a top director in Hong Kong and even the world, and he has only been able to get his hands on one "Yunhai Jade Bow Edge" in the past ten years, in contrast, he thinks he is small enough, so small that he has some inferiority.

How did he know that Wang Xiaohu knew the bottom line about him, not only his past, but also his development trends in the next few years.

After some politeness, the guest and host sat down again, and Wang Xiaohu said with a smile to Director Liang: "Director Liang, I don't know what the two visitors are talking about today. ”

"Actually, it's not a big deal, you have accumulated dazzling achievements in the film industry in the past two years, it just so happens that Xin Yan is my friend, he has admired you for a long time and wants to come over to ask for some experience."

President Liang's words were too general, and the short sentence made Wang Xiaohu frown when he heard it, what do you mean by coming here to ask for some experience.

So he touched his chin and said, "When Comrade Zhang and Uncle Six were doing movies, I was still peeing and playing with mud, and I should have asked them for advice on experience." ”

The two titles of Comrade Zhang and Sixth Uncle directly and simply revealed the dissatisfaction in Wang Xiaohu's heart, Run Run Shaw squinted his eyes and smiled silently when he heard it, "Comrade Zhang" is just a polite title, and "Sixth Uncle" means that he is his own person.

Wang Xiaohu's reason for doing this is actually very simple, he doesn't like President Liang's tone of speech, if you say directly: Xiaohu, our Great Wall Company is currently developing very hard, see if you can find time to write a better script to help the company tide over the difficulties, or more directly: I came today to buy a good script from you!

If he said this at the beginning, maybe Wang Xiaohu would happily agree, isn't it a script, we have a lot of garbage in our minds, and a few random garbage scripts are a hundred times stronger than the scripts that you leftists racked their brains to dig out.

"Hmm." President Liang touched a soft nail, and a little embarrassed long mouth sent a look of help to Run Run Shaw, who touched his nose like Wang Xiaohu, grinned and said: "Xiao Liang, I told you a long time ago, Xiaohu, this stinky boy doesn't eat your set, you still don't believe it, touch the nail, haha." ”

President Liang lowered his head with a blushing face at this time, and dealt with two sentences with a dry smile, as the director of the Hong Kong branch of the Xinhua News Agency, this was the first time he had eaten deflated, and it was the deflated hair of a hairy boy who was more than ten years younger than himself, but he came over today to have a political task, he quickly straightened out his mentality, and when he raised his head again, the seriousness on his face was a little less.

Wang Xiaohu took this series of changes into his eyes, and smiled secretly in his heart, you are the president of the Xinhua News Agency, and now you have a request for people, so don't put up that so-called political shelf, wouldn't it be better to sit down and talk calmly.

Zhang Xinyan also covered his embarrassment with a cough, and seeing that the atmosphere in the study had eased slightly, Run Run Shaw said: "Xiaohu, here's the thing, the intermediate process is still more complicated, to put it simply, Xiao Zhang found Jin Yong, Jin Yong found me again, and I came to you with Xiao Liang and Xiao Zhang." ”

"I'm dizzy! Can it be simpler? Wang Xiaohu rolled his eyes, and just one sentence made his brain turn several times, and he was almost dizzy by this complicated relationship.

"Hehe, it's not that you don't know that they all like to save the country like this." What Run Run Shaw said made President Liang and Zhang Xinyan blush.

"In the most direct words, they are very worried about the current situation of the three film companies of Great Wall, Xinlian and Phoenix, and want to cooperate with you and me to change the embarrassing situation of these three film companies." Run Run Shaw said.

"How to cooperate with the law?" Wang Xiaohu asked.

"I'll tell you." After learning about Wang Xiaohu's most distinctive surname for the first time, the shy Zhang Xinyan took over the topic: "At present, Hong Kong movies are mainly martial arts kung fu films, and I have also filmed costume martial arts films before, so the company wants me to ask Comrade Wang for a better script, as long as it does not involve political and other factors, we will give a good price." ”

"Huh?" After hearing this, Wang Xiaohu frowned and asked, "It's that simple?" ”

"Yes." Zhang Xinyan and President Liang both nodded and said.

Things didn't differ much from what Wang Xiaohu expected, but he still pretended to be very skeptical and asked, "Why did you choose me?" I don't have much interest in any of that right now. ”

"This ......" Zhang Xinyan was speechless for a while, some things he didn't know very well, he only knew that he had experience in shooting martial arts movies, so he contacted himself, as for why he was looking for Wang Xiaohu, isn't it because Wang Xiaohu is currently in the international film industry, especially the transcendent status of martial arts kung fu films?

President Liang, who had been silent for a long time, swallowed his saliva and weighed it again and again before saying, "Comrade Zhang, what I am going to say next is about state secrets, and I hope you will keep your mouth shut after hearing it." ”

Hey, it's finally here, isn't it? Wang Xiaohu secretly felt proud in his heart, he had long expected that things were not so simple, and he knew that the country's politicians sometimes like to play some very superficial articles, and it has nothing to do with leftist cooperation, provided that he must know the final weight of cooperation, and also weigh whether there is a bad impact on Concord after cooperation, after all, the reputation of the leftists is too stinky now, even if Wang Xiaohu is eager to get in touch with the mainland, he always has to think about Concord and his brothers who eat with him.

"Do you want to sign a non-disclosure agreement or something?"

"That's not going to happen!" President Liang smiled bitterly: "I am full of praise for the two movies shot by Mr. Wang, and I think that through martial arts and kung fu and reckless heroes, the integrity of the Chinese nation will be brought into full play, so this time the three film companies of the Great Wall will shoot a few more movies of similar style, and now the situation of the three film companies is very difficult, and they can't complete the tasks assigned by the side. ”

As a reborn person, Wang Xiaohu knows the history of Hong Kong films very well, and he also knows a lot of information that Hong Kong people don't know now, for example, leftist films were actually established under the direct authorization of leaders such as Premier Zhou of the mainland.

And President Liang's so-called state secrets are worthless in Wang Xiaohu's eyes, but there is a hint of information that makes Wang Xiaohu excited in this so-called secret, that is, he is very interested in himself, and this meeting with President Liang and Zhang Xinyan is probably a task issued by a certain leader over there.

"I need more specific requirements." Wang Xiaohu said: "You should know that there is no commercial value, and I won't write that kind of model script." In fact, there is a layer of metaphor in this sentence: the model scene is not impossible to film, the key is to see if there is a benefit, and whether this benefit is consistent with what you want......
