Before starting the formal negotiations, we might as well advance the time by half a month to see what President Liang and Zhang Xinyan have done since they returned to the Great Wall Film Production Company. 【Reading.com】

The first thing President Liang did was to call the Great Wall, Phoenix, and Xinlian, three leftist film executives with behind-the-scenes investment control from the mainland, together and start to study the half-broken script of "Shocking".

Wang Xiaohu's ability to control the script is second to none in Hong Kong, since he was lucky enough to get a script that was not filmed, he naturally asked everyone to analyze and study it together, and the senior executives of the three companies only watched it twice, and unanimously passed the main theme of the script of "Shocking".

"It's a really good script." A high-level executive of the Great Wall nodded in affirmation: "I just don't know how the main plot in the middle is arranged, if it is the style in China, it will inevitably fall into clichés, and it will definitely not be accepted by Hong Kong citizens." ”

Zhang Xinyan spoke directly: "The current main theme movies in China are the same in terms of storyline, while Wang Xiaohu is from the perspective of the essence of the movie, that is, the commercial elements, on the premise of setting off the main theme, it has increased the watchability of the film, which makes people want to stop, and can fully resonate with the audience." ”

"Why is it an earthquake?" Someone on Phoenix's side questioned, "Couldn't it be something else?" Even if it's the style of a kung fu movie. ”

Yes, everyone, including President Liang, fell silent, they couldn't understand why Wang Xiaohu gave up the best kung fu film genre and set the main theme movie as an earthquake disaster movie, the executives of the three film companies, you look at me, I look at you, no one knows why.

In the end, President Liang patted the table and said, "No matter what kind of subject he is, I just want to ask you one thing, if this script is handed over to China, will it be adopted." ”

"Old Liang, you won't"

President Liang sighed, "I always feel that this theme is very in line with the current form of our country, and if the Ministry of Culture approves it, it may be able to be filmed." ”

"President Liang, I'm afraid this is very difficult!" Zhang Xinyan said after pondering for a long time: "First of all, we don't know what the content of Wang Xiaohu's remaining script is, and besides, this movie is not easy to shoot, and the domestic shooting hardware cannot meet the requirements, not to mention, any film company in Hong Kong can't do the effect required in the script." ”

"How?" Everyone was stunned, they all looked at Zhang Xinyan, and a representative of the New Union said: "Comrade Zhang, you are a bit alarmist when you say this, everyone is engaged in movies, why do you say that it can't be effective?" ”

"That's right, if there are difficulties, we must face them, and if there are no difficulties, we must create difficulties!"

The people present were all senior executives of the three companies, but Zhang Xinyan had the lowest level, he swallowed his saliva and explained: "Leaders, it's not that I'm alarmist, everyone is in the circle, and they should all know that Wang Xiaohu's movie can't be copied with the surname, you can think about it carefully, which is the most exciting of Bruce Lee's movies?" ”

"Don't you need to ask! Of course, it's "Jingwumen" and "The Journey of the Warrior"! The executives said in unison.

"From the perspective of the height and influence of the film, "Jingwumen" is well-deserved for its collection of patriotic national feelings and wonderful fights, and it is also Bruce Lee's classic masterpiece." Zhang Xinyan said: "In terms of the visual impact of kung fu films, "The Journey of a Warrior" directly breaks the world's inherent perception of kung fu films. ”

When Zhang Xinyan said this, everyone basically understood what he wanted to express, that is to say, it was also a script written by him, no matter who came to shoot it, there was no classic shot by Wang Xiaohu!

Moreover, Zhang Xinyan didn't seem to finish speaking, so he continued: "Moreover, and have you ever thought about it, although this movie is the tone of the main theme, the opening earthquake requires quite a lot of special effects, as far as I know, only Hollywood can barely make such special effects, Wang Xiaohu has a firm foothold in Hollywood, and it is not difficult to make these, but other film companies in Hong Kong do not have these convenient conditions, and it is even more difficult to realize the maximum value of the script!" ”

The atmosphere in the conference room suddenly solidified, the main commercial elements of this year are kung fu, comedy, visual effects, all the premise is to have a good script, Wang Xiaohu's script is not picky, it is definitely the guarantee of the box office, and its martial arts style is also close to realism, giving people a very strong sense of real fighting.

The same is Hanging Weiya, the people under Wang Xiaohu are more professional and proficient than others, and the action of hanging out is also wonderful and beautiful, the same props, Wang Xiaohu can always play with flowers, and constantly invent some gadgets.

Last year, Concord drummed back two large cameras from Hollywood, which are said to be the most advanced equipment in the world, and the quality of the pictures shot has been confirmed in "A Tiger".

Just like there is only one Bruce Lee in the world, there is only one Wang Xiaohu in the world!

The top brass of the three major leftist film companies were completely shocked and helpless.

"What then?" President Liang slapped the table impatiently and said, "Why don't we take out the special effects of the earthquake or replace them with other disasters." ”

The focus of everyone's discussion shifted to how to change the script of "Shocking" to a disaster, and talked about a lot of plots, maybe it was the preconceived idea of Wang Xiaohu's script that was making trouble, and the plots listed by everyone were not as good as "Shocking" to give people more of the main theme.

"Hey, forget it." After tossing and turning for several hours at the meeting, he couldn't come up with the best plan, and President Liang finally said helplessly: "I will hand over the script to China first, and how to decide in the end or leave it to China for instructions." ”

The second thing President Liang did was to hand over the half-crippled script and the results of the discussion to China in a secret way, and on the tenth day, an encrypted telegram was sent to President Liang.

"The script is very good, the leader likes it very much, further contact, and get Wang's negotiation bottom line, and report in time."

President Liang read the telegram several times, and there were only the first two lines in his eyes: "The script is very good, and the leader likes it very much", which means that President Liang inadvertently found something that domestic leaders like this time, and the leaders naturally refer to those who live in Zhongnanhai.

So President Liang, who was instructed by the higher-ups, did the third thing: he couldn't wait to call Wang Xiaohu. Although Wang Xiaohu was worried about handling the school at this time, the school was a little insignificant compared to the opportunity to enter the mainland, and the school could be done at any time, but the opportunity to enter the mainland was fleeting.

Wang Xiaohu still received President Liang in the study, the difference is that this time President Liang was very enthusiastic after seeing Wang Xiaohu, holding his hand tightly and saying: "Comrade Xiao Wang, I came to bring you good news this time, the leader likes your script very much, you should take out the complete script this time, right?" ”

"There's no rush on this matter." Wang Xiaohu smiled and gave up his seat, personally poured a cup of hot tea for President Liang, and then sat down and said unhurriedly: "Let's talk about the leader's opinion on the script first, I dare to be more interested in this." ”

President Liang was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that he had leaked his mouth with excitement just now, and hurriedly smiled and said vaguely: "How can there be any leader, that is, I sat down with the bosses of the three units of Great Wall, Xinlian, and Phoenix to study and study, and I feel that this script is good." ”

"Pretend, you can continue to pretend." Wang Xiaohu sneered in his heart, his face only frowned slightly to reveal a faint doubt, and then sighed a little disappointed and said: "Hey, it's just good, but my script only thinks about the beginning and the end, and the middle part is not written!" ”

"Ahh Didn't you say last time that it should be perfected as soon as possible? President Liang was immediately anxious when he heard this, and the domestic leaders still wanted to see the finished script, which is the most important task.

Wang Xiaohu spread his hands and said with a smile: "President Liang, I can't do anything about it, I am the boss of four satellite companies, and I have to direct "The Story of Ah Lang", as a small citizen, I always have to run around to fill my stomach, I really don't have time to tinker with this kind of unprofitable thing, that is, I wrote a beginning and an end on a whim for a while. ”

"Hey! Comrade Xiao Wang, you hurt me this time! I promised the bosses of the other three film companies that I would go back with the finished script this time, and you made me very embarrassed! President Liang had a bitter face when he heard this, and his chagrin and helplessness were fully revealed.

Wang Xiaohu took everything in his eyes, and smiled in his heart: You deserve it, if you have anything to say, you really think that Lao Tzu doesn't know anything, what is the boss of a leftist film company, it is clear that the domestic senior leaders want to see it, now you are hard, you deserve it, you don't say the leader's views on the most script, how can Lao Tzu determine the domestic requirements for the script, if you don't know the scale, how can Lao Tzu plan for the future?

In short, the current Wang Xiaohu is not in a hurry at all, on the contrary, the more anxious President Liang is, the happier he is, because he knows that the balance has begun to tilt towards his side, and in some things, he has gradually taken the initiative.

President Liang is destined to come in vain today, some things are in a hurry, Wang Xiaohu knows that if he is too active, he will be despised by the other party, and the weight of the future negotiations will shrink, or even drop the price.
