503 Jin Yong's inspiration

"No more investigations?" Wang Xiaohu frowned and asked Run Run Shaw, "What's the use of this thing?" ”

Shaw raised his head and said: "That's what this thing is, we are not British people, so these medals and titles will be greatly discounted in a sense, just like the Commander Medal I awarded a few years ago is actually the lowest level of the Knight's Order in the British honor system." [Full text reading]"

Wang Xiaohu pursed his lips and said, "Then this thing seems to be a false name?" ”

"It's not for nothing. This kid is too heavy, I guess I won't be able to hold him next year. Run Run Shaw handed the little prince into Fang Yihua's arms, and then breathed a sigh of relief and said: "At least in Hong Kong, both the commander medal and the title are superior, enjoy the British knighthood treatment, you can receive a lot of commissions every year, and your children and grandchildren will also be taken care of by the knighthood, and you can enjoy the same educational opportunities as British children." ”

Wang Xiaohu nodded, "It seems that this thing is not useless, at least my son can still get some light." ”

"Huh." Shaw laughed: "You're still young, and your surname means you're not very keen on these things, but you'll be thinking about them in a few decades." ”

"Before the British political axe awards you the Order of Knighthood, it should first ask the Governor of Hong Kong to award you an officer's medal, and as for the knighthood, it must be awarded by the Queen of England herself, so if you want to become a knight in one step, you still need to wait."

Run Run Shaw said with deep understanding: "Do you know what the British say about the Order of Officers? ”

Wang Xiaohu had never paid attention to these, and shook his head at the moment and said, "I don't know." ”

"Hehe, the full name of the Order of the British Emperor [***] is officer-in-the-most-excellent-order-of-the-british-empire," Shaw said with great difficulty, and then continued: "However, the Sun, which has always been fond of mischief, deliberately interprets OBE as 'the medal of the big money', that is, order-of-the-big-earner. ”

"OBE is the second order of the British Royal Order, below which is the Order of the British Empire: MBE, and above it is the Order of the British Command: CBE, and above the CBE is knighted by the Queen of England." Run Run Shaw also understood the rules after he was awarded the Commander Medal (CBE), and said all of them at the moment, so that Wang Xiaohu could have a general understanding.

"Oh." Wang Xiaohu touched his nose and thought about it, and suddenly asked: "Lao Dou, do you think I want to pay a New Year's greeting to that MacLehose Governor and meet in advance?" ”

"Want to get in touch with the Governor?" Run Run Shaw smiled playfully with his head sideways.

"Not really." Wang Xiaohu shook his head and said: "I just want to ask him if he can make the procedure simpler, and if he can participate in the award without wearing that very verbose and cumbersome gentleman's costume." ”

"Haha, as far as I know, it's impossible." Run Run Shaw laughed, then stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, Xiaohu, it's not going to the execution ground when you're wearing clothes." ”

"It doesn't seem to me to make a difference." Wang Xiaohu said with a wry smile.

"Let me tell you the third good news, Lin Qingxia will come to Hong Kong after the Lantern Festival." Run Run Shaw's voice was extremely low when he said this, and he peeked at Zhao Yazhi from time to time.

"That's the real good news." Wang Xiaohu was happy when he heard this, and patted the sofa and said happily: "Go back and give Manager Ma Fangzong a big red envelope for me, and thank her for facilitating this matter for me." ”

"If Qiong Yao knew that I only used 700,000 to sign Lin Qingxia, but I was helping you sign it behind my back, she would definitely be angry." Run Run Shaw said.

"Ahem." Wang Xiaohu coughed embarrassedly, and said angrily: "Sixth uncle, don't take advantage of it, I'll give you 1 million, okay, you took 300,000 benefits to carry a black pot, you made a lot of money!" ”

"It's clear that you've made a lot of money." Run Run Shaw scolded with a smile

After coming out of Run Run Shaw's house, Wang Xiaohu drove his wife and children to Jin Yong and Shen Zhong's house to pay New Year's greetings.

Before bidding farewell to Jin Yong, Wang Xiaohu suddenly remembered something and asked Jin Yong: "Lao Dou, do you think that dynasty has the most representative surname in Chinese history?" ”

"What do you mean?" Jin Yong frowned and asked.

"For example, it has a strong influence on foreign countries in terms of clothing, weapons, etc." Wang Xiaohu said after thinking about it.

Jin Yong pondered for a moment, and Fang said: "Generally speaking, it should be the Tang Dynasty, and ten thousand dynasties come to worship, but in this regard, even historians have a lot of controversy, and some say that the Yuan Dynasty, after all, the territory expanded by the descendants of Kublai Khan is very broad." What do these do, you ask? ”

Wang Xiaohu sighed and said: "I want to integrate these elements into the film and promote it to Hollywood, or make a movie with an epic surname." ”

"Very good idea!" Jin Yong's eyes lit up and praised: "I wanted to tell you about this topic a long time ago, with your current prestige and capital has passed the stage of accumulating wealth, you should use these other people's identities and conveniences to promote this matter, just like your brother Bruce Lee did, he opened the market in Hollywood with his fists." ”

"Hehe, Lao Dou, you have created a martial arts dynasty in the international Chinese circle with a pen."

"It's different, it's definitely different." Jin Yong shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Relatively speaking, my scope of influence is too narrow. But I do remember one thing. Come with me to the study. ”

Walking into Jin Yong's antique study, Wang Xiaohu found that there were two particularly large bookshelves with a variety of dazzling books, Jin Yong walked to the desk and took out two newspapers from the drawer. "Well, this should help you."

"Hey, it's a report on the unearthing of the Terracotta Warriors and Horses of Qin Shi Huang!" After Wang Xiaohu saw the newspaper, his eyes narrowed.

"In March 1974, when the villagers of Xiyang Village in Lingdong fought drought and drilled wells, they found a large-scale terracotta warrior pit of the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang between Xiahe Village and Wula Village, three miles east of the mausoleum, and the excavation of archaeologists uncovered the treasure of the Qin Warriors buried in the ground more than 2,000 years ago. In 1975, the mainland decided to build a museum on the site of the figurine pit. ”

"Lao Dou, do you mean the Qin Dynasty?" After reading the report, Wang Xiaohu raised his head and asked.

"Yes, King Qin swept [***], looked at He Xiongzai, sentenced 700,000 prisoners, and raised Tuli Mountain. How domineering, and Qin Shi Huang began to build a mausoleum for him in Lishan since he was 13 years old, and after unifying the six countries, he requisitioned more than 100,000 people from all over the country to continue to build until he died at the age of 50, a total of 37 years. ”

Jin Yong said: "Isn't he worth your shot?" ”

Wang Xiaohu fell into deep thought when he heard this, and his mind was spinning rapidly, he was thinking about the possible surname of Qin Shi Huang.

As Jin Yong said, Qin Shi Huang is indeed very representative, as the first emperor to unify the dynasty in 5,000 years of history, he is very legendary in his own right, and there are no longer a few movies about Qin Shi Huang, although Lao Mouzi's "Hero" was sprayed in China, but it won a box office record of 30 million US dollars in North America, which is beyond the reach of domestic directors in terms of business.

But "Hero" is not the subject that Wang Xiaohu particularly wants to shoot, although he has studied it very seriously, it is biased towards action. Suddenly, his eyes were locked on the three words Terracotta Warriors and Horses again, and a movie suddenly popped up in his mind, so he immediately became excited.

"That's right, that's it!" Wang Xiaohu shouted excitedly, his frowning brows suddenly expanded, he grabbed Jin Yong's arm and said, "Lao Dou, thank you, you have done me a great favor today!" After saying that, he ran away happily.

"It's getting late, aren't you going to have dinner here?" Jin Yong asked aloud blankly.

"No, I have to go back and write the script!" Wang Xiaohu's voice became farther and farther away.

"This kid is really motivated!"

Wang Xiaohu is now full of enthusiasm, so much so that when he was driving, his whole body was trembling slightly, and he hummed a familiar tune in his mouth, and he was puzzled in Zhao Yazhi's eyes.

"Ah Hu, what kind of tune are you humming, why haven't I heard you hum before, is it a new score?" Zhao Yazhi felt that the style of this song was very tasteful, and asked at the moment.

"Well, sort of, but it's still in the making." Wang Xiaohu said with a smile: "Sometimes a song can also bring good inspiration, and I have already thought about what kind of movie to make to enter Hollywood." ”

"So fast? Aren't you going to be responsible for the remake of "Star Wars", and now you have to make a new film, isn't it a little "Zhao Yazhi was a little worried: "I'm afraid you'll be tired." ”

"It's okay, I didn't say I'm going to shoot it now, as for "Star Wars", I just need to give the specific requirements to Lucas, and I won't interfere in the rest of the things." Wang Xiaohu drove slowly towards his home. (Why is it slow?) Safety first. "I believe that Lucas will be more mature after this time. Wang Xiaohu smiled after speaking: "As for me, I will write the script of the new film during this time, and accompany you two well, and I will snub you when you are old." ”

"At least after a few busy days, you will have time to spare." Zhao Yazhi sighed and said, "Don't be too tired, if you are tired, who will we rely on?" ”

"Yes, lady!"

After returning home, Wang Xiaohu took advantage of the fact that it was not completely dark and went to Jet Li's house to sit down, and the Li family regarded Wang Xiaohu as a benefactor and politely asked him to have dinner.

Wang Xiaohu shook his head and said: "Not today, I am busy during the Chinese New Year, and there are more things at home, so I will bring Azhi over for dinner when I go back." ”

When leaving, Wang Xiaohu called Jet Li out alone, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Jie Zai, in a few days, I will let the finance notify you to receive dividends, do it well, and I will arrange a better movie for you after the Spring Festival." ”
