On August 2, 72, Wang Xiaohu sent Li Shaonan early in the morning to take copies of "Jingwumen" and "Ip Man" plus three revised contracts to Shaw Brothers. [Full text reading]

However, Wang Xiaohu was not angry, and chatted with Shao Tycoon on the phone, and finally Shao Tycoon hung up the phone because he was too busy. Don't look at Wang Xiaohu is very concerned about this matter, but he clearly knows that it is very difficult for Hong Kong films to open the market in the mainland, and he did not delusionally think that the mainland would open the door through two films, the mainland in the 70s still had too many unstable factors, and if you want to enter the mainland, you still need to wait until the reform and opening up!

Wang Xiaohu has already made up his mind, if Run Run Shaw wants to go to the mainland for a secret visit, he will have to rely on a quota, after all, he was a domestic person in his previous life, although he has been in Hong Kong for more than 10 months, he always thinks about his hometown in his heart, and his parents are probably only six or seven years old at this time in 72, thinking of these, Wang Xiaohu is somewhat sad, even if he doesn't think about the movie, he always has to do something for his parents in his previous life, and he is grateful to them for raising him for nearly 28 years. But if you think about it carefully, it doesn't feel right, if your parents don't get married because of yourself, then how can another self in this era be born? (It's Mother's Day, and book friends in other places remember to call home tomorrow.) Thinking about it, Wang Xiaohu still thinks it's better to go with the flow, he can't see another self because of this, wouldn't that be too inhumane? Wang Xiaohu was pondering here, and there was a knock on the office door, but it was Yuan Biao who came in.

"Ah Hu, another guy who calls himself Billy Zhou is coming for an interview!" Yuan Biao said with a somewhat wooden expression after entering the door.

"Uh, how old?" Wang Xiaohu also frowned when he heard this, after the advertisement was posted, this should be the tenth person to come for an interview.

"I just asked, and he said he was 19 years old, and he had just come back from playing a game abroad a while ago, and he came to read the newspaper after seeing it."

"Oh, it should be him." Wang Xiaohu muttered quietly. Then he said to Yuan Biao, "Let him come up." ”

After a while, Yuan Biao came in with the tenth "Zhou Billy", Wang Xiaohu was immediately happy when he saw the comer, damn, the good boy finally let me find it! "Ah Biao, you go first, I'll talk to Mr. Zhou."

At this time, Zhou Billy was 19 years old, half a head taller than Wang Xiaohu, and his face still exuded a very green and immature atmosphere, and he was staring at Wang Xiaohu with both eyes. "Mr. Wang, I heard that you are looking for me everywhere?"

"Hmm." Wang Xiaohu nodded and said, "Sit down and talk." You must be wondering why I'm looking for you. ”

"yes." Billy Zhou grinned, very different from Billy Zhou, who was always arrested as a villain in Wang Xiaohu's memory, at least Billy Zhou is still more honest and loyal now. He scratched his short hair and said, "This is exactly what I want to ask, my teammates in the martial arts gym have been talking about this matter for the past few days, which makes me scratch my head." ”

"Hehe, here's the thing, I know a little bit about your situation, I want to ask you to play a cameo role in a new film, I don't know if you have any opinions?" Wang Xiaohu said straight to the point.

"Me? No, no, no, I haven't acted, and I can't do anything other than play! Billy Zhou hurriedly shook his hand and said. In fact, he was very excited in his heart, who in Hong Kong doesn't know the names of Wang Xiaohu and Bruce Lee, anyone who has practiced kung fu for a few days will worship the two, and regard the dragon and tiger as idols of struggle, but Billy Zhou has been using the way of playing games to achieve his goals. Now when he heard his idol say that he invited himself to shoot a movie, his first reaction was impossible.

"Don't be in a hurry to refuse!" Wang Xiaohu didn't wait for him to finish his words and said: "This film does not have very high requirements for acting skills, and it still lets you play, but the opponent is Bruce Lee!" ”

"What!" Billy Zhou jumped up from the sofa when he heard this, stared at Wang Xiaohu with wide eyes, his face was excited, and he said in a tone of disbelief: "You, you mean me, I want to fight Bruce Lee?" These words made it a little difficult for Billy Zhou to speak, and he almost stretched his neck and used a lot of strength to say it, which shows how shocked he was in his heart.

"yes." Wang Xiaohu nodded with a smile and said in a very positive tone: "If you want to fight Bruce Lee, are you interested?" ”

"Yes, yes!" Billy Zhou's face flushed, and there was an undisguised fanaticism in his eyes: "Being able to play with Bruce Lee is something I've always dreamed of, and I'm willing even if I don't give me an appearance fee!" ”

Wang Xiaohu didn't expect things to go surprisingly well, and it seems that he still underestimated the popularity of this group of young people to worship Bruce Lee. "The salary for filming is always paid, and we at Concord will not let you work in vain. Well, you can take a look at the contract and sign it if you don't feel any objections. After saying that, he pushed a contract on his desk, which is his usual style, and he began to implement this contract system since the company began to formalize.

This kind of contract is mostly a short-term contract, which is drawn up by Wang Xiaohu according to the members of the Dragon and Tiger Martial Arts Union, and the content of the contract is no different from the contract of the company's regular employees, that is, in terms of salary and treatment, even if it is less than half, the extra actors get more salary than other companies, and Wang Xiaohu will never be slow to treat people who can create profit value for themselves.

"Mr. Wang, can I take this contract back and take a closer look?" Zhou Billy took the contract with trembling hands and glanced at it, feeling that there was no problem, in fact, he was being excited in his heart, and he had a dreamy feeling about the contract in front of him, and he planned to take it back and discuss it with his family, the coach of the martial arts gym, and his teammates before making a decision.

"Okay." Wang Xiaohu said with a smile on his face: "You can take it back and study it carefully, but give me an answer as soon as possible." ”

"Definitely, definitely!" A simple smile appeared on Zhou Billy's face, and he got up and left after kissing the contract fiercely, and after walking to the door, he may feel that it is rude to leave so rashly, so he patted his head vigorously, turned around and bowed respectfully to Wang Xiaohu and said, "Thank you Mr. Wang for the opportunity, I, I'll go first." ”

"Go ahead." Seeing that Billy Zhou could have such a cute performance, Wang Xiaohu laughed, and secretly said in his heart that he was still a simple person in this year, why didn't he become a good director in his last life? Damn the unspoken rules! Fortunately, it was a good time for me to be reborn, "Hey! ”

Li Shaonan rushed back at noon, with excitement on his face, handed over the three contracts to the master and said, "Master, what method did you use to get Run Shaw to agree?" He knew the contents of this contract very well, every word on it was typed out by him with a typewriter, and after seeing Run Shaw sign it without hesitation, his admiration for Master was even more incomprehensible, and at this moment there were stars shining in both eyes.

"In what way?" Wang Xiaohu couldn't cry or laugh, he naturally wouldn't tell his apprentice that he used the scoundrel method to rob the fire to force Run Run Shaw to comply, raised his finger and pointed at his head and said, "Use your brain!" ”

"Oh, oh, Master is amazing!" Li Shaonan nodded like pounding garlic.

"Okay, that's done, let's go to dinner!" Wang Xiaohu got up and said after locking the contract

Run Run Shaw's actions were very fast, almost immediately after getting the copy, he found his lawyer friend Benaki, and accompanied Benaki to the Hong Kong branch of Xinhua News Agency, and saw that the copy was handed over to President Liang, so he finally breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time cautiously asked from the side who was going to watch the film, President Liang naturally did not tell him such secrets, but just smiled and said: "The Guangdong Ministry of Culture is there." ”

After the matter was done, Run Run Shaw called Wang Xiaohu, although he didn't say how worried he was on the phone, but his tone still had that meaning, when Wang Xiaohu still wanted to blackmail something from the snake and stick, Run Run Shaw's hated teeth hurt, and he hung up the phone angrily.

Wang Xiaohu's work became busy again, because almost the next morning, when he went to work, he saw Zhou Billy standing at the door of the company, and when Zhou Billy saw him, he immediately ran over excitedly and said: "Mr. Wang, I discussed it with my family, they are very supportive of my filming, and I also have a leave of absence from the martial arts hall, do you see when the filming will start?" ”

Looking at Billy Zhou's fanatical passion, Wang Xiaohu felt happy from the bottom of his heart, that is, the conditions he offered were relatively generous, unless he didn't agree to Ren Dahua's dead brain, you see how happy people are Billy, I can't wait for the salary posture.

"Don't be in a hurry to shoot, Brother Xiaolong is now filming in South Korea, I will first design a few sets of actions according to your innate conditions." Wang Xiaohu handed over the documents in his hand to Li Shaonan and said, "You go up first, I'll take Billy to the base." ”

Ten minutes later, in the abandoned factory, which is the current training base of Concord Film Company and Dragon and Tiger Martial Arts Union, Wang Xiaohu and Zhou Billy changed into sweatshirts and stood in the ring set up during the filming of "Ip Man".

Wang Xiaohu said to the 1.82-meter Zhou Billy: "Billy, you should have a good Muay Thai foundation, these moves will not be a problem for you, but before that, I have to see your level, now, attack me." ”

"Mr. Wang, this is not good, the fists and feet are not long-eyed!" Zhou Billy hesitated, after all, in his eyes, Wang Xiaohu still looked a little thinner, today is the first day of work, if he hurts the boss, how can he mix it up in the future?

"Hehe, let you fight!" Wang Xiaohu quickly set up the Wing Chun boxing shelf, beckoned and said, "Use your best strength, don't keep it." ”

"Anyway, you asked for it, don't blame me!" Zhou Billy said in his heart
