251 Deed of Sale
In the era of Wang Xiaohu's previous life, anyone who is familiar with Hong Kong movies knows the name of "New Art City", although it has only been brilliant for ten years, but it opened the clarion call for the peak of Hong Kong films, it is the rise of New Arts City that ended the situation of Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest dominating the Hong Kong film industry, and the old oligarchy Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest who had been forced to be as powerful as water and fire in their heyday joined forces to fight against New Art City. For example, in 1982, Golden Harvest's "Qimen Dunjia" and "Colorful Lin Yazhen" made an exception and arranged to be released in the two major theaters of Golden Harvest and Shaw Brothers at the same time, but unfortunately the box office was still not as good as "Best Partner" and "Difficult Brothers" in Xinyicheng.
If TVB is an idol superstar training institution, then Xinyicheng is the Whampoa Military Academy that trains directors, a large number of directors have passed from Xinyicheng, and Xinyicheng has trained more dazzling directors, this is the energy and courage of Xinyicheng! It's a pity that the "Seven Monsters of New Art City" finally fell into disintegration because of the uneven distribution of spoils.
In fact, some of the preparations that Wang Xiaohu is currently making, whether it is the establishment of the Dragon and Tiger Martial Arts Union, the training of future martial arts actors, martial arts instructors, etc., or the acquisition of scattered theaters to do the distribution network, most of them are imitating the development model of the new art city, in Wang Xiaohu's own words, he is pioneering! That's right, in the 70s, it opened up a bright road and led Hong Kong films to the world.
Wang Xiaohu looked at the three in front of him and sighed with emotion, whether it is Shi Tian, Mai Jia or Huang Baiming, they may not be able to do it now, just like Huang Baiming, he is now a small staff member of a foreign company in Hong Kong, with a monthly income of 10,000 Hong Kong dollars, which is considered a high-income group, but he is not serious and has a soft spot for movies, and in 67 he transferred to the Hong Kong Youth Arts Drama Club as a screenwriter, and two years ago he went to TVB as an actor, and participated in films such as "Folk Legends" and "Four Jinshi".
Who would have thought that 8 years later, "The Wrong Car", "Best Partner", "Why Have Me" and "Ah Lang's Story" written by him made the four male protagonists become actors. Others don't know, but Wang Xiaohu knows it clearly, so he feels that God treats him well, God smashed down three heavy pies and hit his head, he was a little dizzy, and the shock and joy in his heart couldn't be expressed in words for a while.
"Master" Li Shaonan saw the stunned and smirk on Wang Xiaohu's face, and that strange expression made him scratch his head, so he asked in a low voice: "Master, do you think these three friends of mine have become friends?" ”
"Ugh." Wang Xiaohu shook his head vigorously and hurriedly jumped out of the surprise, and Shi Tian, Mai Jia, and Huang Baiming on the opposite side all showed disappointed expressions when they saw this, and looked at Li Shaonan pitifully: "Shaonan, help say something good, Master shook his head, he definitely doesn't want us!" ”
"Master, Master, they are all very good friends, they are all interested in the screenwriting industry, they are very talented, Huang has written several scripts, although Shi Tian is a foil in the Shaw Brothers, he also knows some scripts" Li Shaonan made bold words in front of the three of them, and at this moment Wang Xiaohu shook his head to make him feel very anxious, so he simply shook Wang Xiaohu's arm and showed a woman's "coquettish" skills.
Wang Xiaohu was covered with goosebumps by him, waved his hand and said depressedly: "I shook my head not to say that they are not good, in fact, I feel that they are okay, you quickly let go." ”
"Really? Master, did you promise to take them in? Li Shaonan exclaimed in surprise.
"yes." Wang Xiaohu nodded and looked at Huang Baiming and the three of them and said, "The three of you will take two hours every night from today to the company to listen to the class, and I will tell you how to write a script that is popular and popular." ”
"Yay!" Huang Baiming and the three of them immediately screamed, especially Mai Jia (only to know that Mai Jia had long shawl hair at the time, sinful, let's go bald.) He patted his bald head excitedly, as excited as that, and the mustache on his mouth also twisted around, expressing his gratitude to Wang Xiaohu.
"Master, this is a cigar I brought from the United States, you can taste it." Mai Jia saluted a cigar with a very good eye, and Wang Xiaohu waved his hand and said, "I'm not good at this." Suddenly, I remembered that Mai Jia, who was 72 years old, seemed to be still studying electronic engineering in the United States, and only returned to Hong Kong in 73 to develop and set up Pioneer Film Company, Garbo Film Company, Struggle Film Company, and Xinyicheng Film Company with several groups of young filmmakers such as Wu Yaohan, Lai Yingzhuo, Sammo Hung, Liu Jiarong, Shi Tian, and Huang Baiming.
"Didn't you study in the United States? Why don't you read it? Wang Xiaohu asked with a smile.
Mai Jia scratched her bald head embarrassedly and said: "Hehe, I'm studying, but I feel that that thing is not very useful, I skip school every day to go to Chinatown to watch Hong Kong films, I always feel that our Hong Kong films are really scum, but since I saw Master You and Bruce Lee's "Jingwumen", I feel that Hong Kong films are so good-looking." ”
Mai Jia couldn't stand it after opening the conversation, he danced and said: "Master, you may not know, there were two major theaters in Chinatown at that time, and one of them showed "Italian Stallion", which is the amorous film we are talking about, but the scale of openness is much larger than ours. ”
Wang Xiaohu smiled slightly when he heard this, and said in his heart that this "Italian Stallion" may be the future AV precursor of Europe and the United States.
"The other one is playing Master's "Jingwumen", good guys, you don't know that those foreign devils have gone to watch "Jingwumen", and the "Italian Stallion" on the opposite side is full of birds, so miserable!" Mai Jia continued with a strong voice: "Since the "Jingwumen" came out in the United States, we international students immediately straightened their backs, and those foreign devils no longer dared to bully us, they thought that we Chinese were all blues. What about Lee! ”
Mai Jia's words made Wang Xiaohu sound very useful, he finally knew that the Chinese on the other side of the ocean straightened their waists because of this film, which is also a great achievement, which shows the sensational effect caused by this film in the world, but unfortunately, the copyright of "Jingwumen" is always in the hands of Jiahe, and the box office revenue of overseas theaters cannot be pulled out of Jiahe's mouth.
"How did you come up with the idea to come back and write the script?" Wang Xiaohu asked with a smile, he was very interested that these three guys could meet and come to him to apprentice together.
"Of course it's influenced by us." The expression on Shi Tian's face was very rich, and he crooked his mouth and smiled: "The bald guy came back from the summer vacation to visit his relatives and was caught by me and the glasses man to go to the theater to see the teacher "Ip Man", and I happened to meet Shaonan doing the homework you assigned in the theater, so after we talked a few words, I couldn't envy you,"
Oh, it turns out that there is such a coincidence at the time, Wang Xiaohu smiled with emotion, in fact, I think that many things in the world are superimposed by countless coincidences, and this time I can harvest the three giants of the new art city in the future, Li Shaonan should write down the first work.
"Shi Tian, you and Huang Baiming are free now, right?" Wang Xiaohu learned from their self-introduction just now that Huang Baiming and Shi Tian are still working as actors at Shaw Brothers, and in order to avoid any misunderstandings with Run Run Shaw in the future, he always has to ask more.
"Master, don't worry, Shi Tian and I are both free bodies, and we are both inconspicuous actors in the Shaw Brothers, and Uncle Shao will not sign with us." Huang Baiming pushed the black edge on the bridge of his nose, and his eyes replied very seriously.
"That's fine." Wang Xiaohu nodded and said to Li Shaonan: "Did you get the contract you drew up a while ago?" The contract Wang Xiaohu said is an internal contract within the company, and this contract is mainly formulated for the company's employees, but some contracts are special, such as the kind of contract he is talking about now is not a short-term contract, but a long-term contract for Stephen Chow, Chow Yun-fat, Yuan Heping and other celebrities, screenwriters, and martial arts who may be prosperous in the future.
A few years later, when they were in the Hong Kong film industry and wanted to change jobs and work alone, Wang Xiaohu took out this contract and beat them, and this contract has also become a document that many people in the circle are afraid of, because anyone who signs a contract will be popular in a few years, and they are more moisturized and chic than people in the same period. Although this deed of sale is very domineering, there are still many people who want to get this contract, because signing it means that you will enter the radiant starry era, which represents opportunity, recognition, and luck!
Wang Xiaohu got the three generals, and he was very happy for a long time, after politely rejecting the apprenticeship banquet of Huang Baiming and the three, he hid in the office and laughed, he had decided to cultivate these three potential stocks well, first cultivate the comedy talent they are good at, and let them create those classic comedy series through conscious points and hints, so that the future development route of Concord Company will be broad, not only limited to the narrow scope of kung fu films.
"Hey, pack up your things and go to Uncle Hui to learn music!" Wang Xiaohu was happy for a long time before he put away his mood, and took the background music score of "Enter the Dragon" to Gu Jiahui for guidance, his purpose in doing so is to make the filming of "Enter the Dragon" smooth to a greater extent, so that Bruce Lee can see his brilliant achievements in the world in his lifetime.
When he got out of the office building and was about to get into the taxi, he saw Deng Sheng hurriedly get out of the police car, and stopped Wang Xiaohu in a few steps: "Xiaohu, you wait first, I have something important to inform you." ”
"Uncle Deng." Wang Xiaohu frowned slightly and was about to ask, but was pulled aside by Deng Sheng and whispered: "Xiaohu, you have to be careful recently, according to the investigation of our detectives, the underground forces in Hong Kong have been active very frequently recently, especially"
