744 The good intentions of the chairman of the Academy Awards

Yu Yongjian has devoted himself to the development of Hong Kong films since he was less than 20 years old, and it can be said that he has witnessed the entire development process of Hong Kong films from the grand to the golden stage. [Full text reading]

Yu has never seen a film company like Concord International, which has grown from the beginning to become the leader of Hong Kong film enterprises, and at the same time influence Chinese mainland, radiating the whole of Asia, and then gaining a foothold in a film dynasty like Hollywood.

In addition, the successful holding of the first Hong Kong Film Awards has strengthened the dominance of Hong Kong films in Southeast Asia.

As the chairman of the Hong Kong Film Awards, Yu Yongjian very much did not want any problems with Concord International, and it was precisely because the momentum of Concord's development was too fast and violent, and the expansion was surprising, so he was faintly uneasy.

"Xiaohu, seriously, I can't imagine how terrible it will be for Hong Kong movies to be leaderless." Yu Yongjian said with worry and fear written on his face.

Wang Xiaohu nodded, he could understand the mood of this Hong Kong film veteran at this time.

"Yu Lao, in fact, Hong Kong films have developed so far that they don't need me to do too much intervention, which is why I strongly ask the films I directed not to participate in the Hong Kong Film Awards."

Yu Yongjian shook his head: "Who is missing now, you can't be missing, even if you don't participate in the Academy Awards, you can set an example for Hong Kong films, and everyone will take you as the goal to strive for." ”

Wang Xiaohu didn't expect him to be so stubborn, stubborn and a little cute.

After smiling lightly, Wang Xiaohu said: "Maybe it's useless to explain too much now, it's better for Yu Lao to look at me first, if it's really not like tossing, you will persuade me again." ”

"I'm afraid it's too late to say anything!" Yu Yongjian's face was bitter.

"It's never too late for me, I'm in control." A confident smile appeared on the corner of Wang Xiaohu's mouth, and he said to Yu Yongjian with a smile.

"Hey!" Yu Yongjian sighed, suddenly stood up and said, "Xiaohu, I'll take you somewhere." ”

"Where are you going?" Wang Xiaohu said.

"Just follow me." The stubborn old man didn't say where to go, dragged Wang Xiaohu into the car, and after muttering a few words to the driver, the car began to set off.

The car did not go far and gradually drove between Kowloon Tong and Tai Wai in Sha Tin, New Territories.

"Here it is, let's get off." Yu Yongjian took the lead in getting out of the car after speaking.

Wang Xiaohu was confused and got out of the car.

Looking at the dilapidated shantytowns in front of the mountain, Wang Xiaohu recalled the scene he had just crossed 11 years ago, when he and Yuan Biao rented a cold and damp small house here.

"Lion Rock?" Wang Xiaohu smiled bitterly and said to Yu Yongjian: "What are you always bringing me here for?" ”

Yu Yongjian did not answer, but raised his hand and pointed to the people in front of the mountain who were busy for the Spring Festival and said, "Xiaohu, do you see them?" They are the people who are working hard and struggling at the bottom of our class in Hong Kong, and although their salary may not be as good as what you earn in a day, they still don't give up. ”

Wang Xiaohu nodded, because he also climbed up step by step from the grassroots level, so he naturally understood the ups and downs.

"You know the name of the mountain, but do you understand what the mountain represents?" Yu Yongjian asked.

"Of course, I know that for every Hong Kong person, Lion Rock represents the spiritual highland of Hong Kong, and with Lion Rock, the spirit is there, and Hong Kong is there!"

After Wang Xiaohu said this, he immediately understood Yu Yongjian's intention of bringing him to Lion Rock.

Although Wang Xiaohu does not regard himself as an authentic Hong Kong person in his spiritual world, his body, his industry, his family, everything he does is in Hong Kong.

As a member of the Hong Kong people, he knows that Lion Rock represents too many meanings, and it can be summed up as the Lion Rock spirit.

Speaking of the spirit of Lion Rock, it should be traced back to 1973, when Bruce Lee just died, when Hong Kong TV began to broadcast a unit drama "Under the Lion Rock", and this TV series has been broadcast for 10 years.

Why a unit drama can attract Hong Kong people to watch is actually very simple, because it tells the inspirational story of Hong Kong ordinary citizens who are self-reliant in adversity.

For more than 100 years, the materialized Lion Rock has witnessed the arduous journey of Hong Kong from a small fishing village to a metropolis in the era of economic take-off.

The spiritualized Lion Rock inspires several Hong Kong people to persevere.

Hong Kong's transformation from an obscure fishing village to a world-renowned Pearl of the Orient is inseparable from the spirit of Hong Kong.

Many Hong Kong people of the older generation were penniless, started from scratch, gave full play to their wisdom and talents, and went through countless hardships to create brilliant achievements, which are inseparable from the spirit of Hong Kong.

"After entering the 70s, those children born in Hong Kong have become the main force in Hong Kong society, with the rapid development of social economy, impetuousness, speculation, quick success, ambition and other negative things are testing the younger generation."

Yu Yongjian said while looking at Wang Xiaohu.

"Xiaohu, no matter what decision you make, I hope you can remember the spirit of Lion Rock when you are in difficulty, and if you really fail, I also hope that you will hum "Under the Lion Rock"."

Yu Yongjian said, and suddenly sang loudly to the Lion Rock: "Let go of the contradictions in each other's hearts, pursue the ideals together, swear to follow each other in the same boat, be fearless and fearless, be on the edge of the cape together, and step on the rugged side of the mountain hand in hand."

At that moment, Wang Xiaohu found that this old man was really well-intentioned, and he knew that he could not persuade himself to adapt, so he took himself to the foot of the Lion Rock, and encouraged himself with the spirit of Lion Rock and this theme song that all Hong Kong people would sing.

"Elder Yu, thank you." Wang Xiaohu said sincerely, he was moved by Yu Yongjian.

After returning to his home, Wang Xiaohu felt heavy in his heart.

After sitting in the study for a long time, he took out the copy of "Ip Man 2", which had been changed three times, and looked at it carefully, "Maybe we should add some Lion Rock spirit to the script, it will be more appropriate." ”

It was Yu Yongjian's inspiration that made him more deeply understand that after Ip Man came to Hong Kong with his wife and children, the pressure of Hong Kong's foreign population was huge, and the British colonists were full of various discrimination against Chinese, at this time what the Chinese people could do was to be in a hurry, you help me, I will help you, slowly stay up, this is the spirit of Lion Rock, but also the spirit of forbearance in China for thousands of years.

Wang Xiaohu thought so, and took out his pen to make the fourth partial revision in several places in the script

On the 28th of December, Bruce Lee, Linda, Li Guohao, and Li Xiangning's family came to Hong Kong from Seattle.

Wang Xiaohu, his wife and children personally greeted him at the airport.

"Hey, Tiger, angel, we haven't seen each other in a long time." Linda walked over with a smile, first hugged Zhao Yazhi warmly, and then hugged Wang Xiaohu lightly, and then hugged Wang Jiaen and said: "Is this your son, more energetic and handsome than in the photo, it is carved out of the same mold as Tiger." ”

"Hello Sister Linda." Wang Jiaen greeted with a grin. It can be seen that the little guy is pampered by many women who open their mouths and close their mouths to any female surname Sister Closed Sister.

"Haha, your son is much sweeter than your mouth!" Linda said to Wang Xiaohu with a smile.

Wang Xiaohu shrugged innocently, he couldn't say anything about his son's natural instinct.

Bruce Lee whispered to him: "Linda and I went through the formalities of getting married. ”

“”

"In a different capacity." Bruce Lee saw that Wang Xiaohu was puzzled, and hurriedly explained.

"Oh, no one will charge you for bigamy anyway." Wang Xiaohu said with a smile.

At this moment, Li Guohao, who was beside him, called out in a timid voice: "Daddy Tiger." ”

Li Guohao is now a ten-year-old young man, compared to Bruce Lee's more oriental face, he is more genetically inclined to foreigners, but he is also the kind of handsome foreigner.

"Boy, I'd love to beat you up, you know?" The corners of Wang Xiaohu's mouth curled up and he scolded with a smile: "You have made Lao Tzu sad for ten years!" ”

Li Guohao shrugged his shoulders and whispered: "I can't help it, but I seem to have reminded you several times, but you just don't believe it." ”

"You mean that at the funeral you said to me in front of the coffin: your father is still alive, is he acting?" Wang Xiaohu raised an eyebrow.

"Of course, that's the most justifiable thing I've ever said about it." Li Guohao nodded: "But you don't believe it." (In reality, Li Guohao also said that his father was filming.) )

Wang Xiaohu rolled his eyes, and said in his heart that in that case, it would be strange if Lao Tzu believed it!

"Daddy Tiger, it's been a long time since I've eaten your cooking, I wonder if I'll be late tonight?" Li Xiangning jumped over and hugged Wang Xiaohu's arm and said.

"Of course! I'll cook a table of good food tonight until your belly is round! Wang Xiaohu laughed.

The group got into the extended Lincoln car, followed by Po and other bodyguards.

"How's it going, how does it feel after the reunion?" Wang Xiaohu smiled and said to Bruce Lee: "Do you have the feeling of being a newlywed?" ”

Bruce Lee shook his head with a wry smile and said, "No, Linda fainted directly after knowing the news that I wasn't dead, and it took a long time to wake up, and then hugged me and cried all night." ”

"It is not easy for orphans and widows to persist for more than ten years." Wang Xiaohu said. Comparatively speaking, Linda misses Bruce Lee more than anyone else.

"After dawn, we couldn't wait to go to church to get married, and this time I bought several rings for her to choose from, which finally made up for the embarrassment of the wedding that year." Bruce Lee said: "Xiaohu, thank you for giving me this rare opportunity. ”

"Tsk, congratulations, groom, but you have lied to me for more than ten years, and the red envelope that should have been given to you is gone!"
