If you don't know that firewood, rice, oil and salt are expensive, this sentence is very appropriate for Wang Xiaohu at this time.

Originally, Wang Xiaohu proposed that the production cost of "Righteous Heroes" should be at least 100,000 Hong Kong dollars, as the costumes and props needed for fashion dramas in the early Republic of China, and more than a dozen suits were needed in the film, not to mention those small props of surgical equipment or something, but when he saw the props sent by Golden Harvest, he couldn't help but be a little angry.

"Brother Xin, is this the props and costumes that Boss Zou asked you to send?" Wang Xiaohu picked up a suit with very rough workmanship and said to Wang Jiaxin, the prop master of Jiahe: "If I guess correctly, these rags are all scavenged from the temple street stalls, you go back and tell Boss Zou, I don't want this batch of things, let him find me some mid-range goods, this is filming, not playing begging for food." ”

Wang Jiaxin is an old employee of Golden Harvest, he followed Zou Wenhuai to fight the world when he was in Shaw Brothers, and now he has been so unceremoniously returned by Wang Xiaohu, a descendant boy, his face is somewhat unbearable, he coughed twice and said: "Ah Hu, anyway, the film you made is also a small production, it's okay, the company has some shortages in funds now, so"

"So you're going to use these stalls to pass me away, right?" Wang Xiaohu threw his suit on the car and said: "I wonder, the first round of box office of "Jingwumen" is 6 million, and at least most of the income is in addition to dividends, not to mention the box office of Southeast Asia and Yueben, and I only need some mid-range goods, so I don't ask too much, right?" ”

"It's not too much to ask for." Wang Jiaxin said embarrassedly: "It's just Ah Hu, there are also hardships in doing our business, Boss Zou ordered it like this, and I can't help it, so Ah Hu, don't embarrass me." ”

"Brother Xin, you are embarrassment for me!" Wang Xiaohu said in a somewhat unhappy tone: "Forget it, let's throw these goods here first, and I'll talk to Boss Zou in person." ”

Wang Jiaxin was busy arranging for the personnel to unload the goods, and did not forget to throw Wang Xiaohu a cigarette before leaving.

"Damn, this Zou Wenhuai is really uneasy and kind." Wang Xiaohu pinched the cigarette and muttered: "I should have known that I should have stopped Brother Xiaolong from cooperating with Jiahe, but now it's making trouble, hey, it's too passive." ”

In fact, Wang Xiaohu knew very well in his heart that cooperating with Golden Harvest was basically the best choice, because Bruce Lee's Concord Company was just an empty shelf, and there was nothing else except himself and himself and his Seven Little Blessings. Golden Harvest provides props, costumes, shooting machines, etc., and also arranges post-editing processing, and theatrical distribution, accounting for 30% of the shares.

It's just that Zou Wenhuai's behavior as if asking for food made Wang Xiaohu a little uncomfortable. After thinking about it again, he still called Zou Wenhuai to protest, but he didn't know that Zou Wenhuai sighed after receiving the call.

"Xiaohu, recently our Golden Harvest has been busy preparing for the filming of several films, among which "Raptors Across the River" will go to Rome to shoot locations, accounting for about 60% of the company's budget, and Luo Wei will also go to Taiwan to shoot "Cold Tiger", and strive to fight with Shaw Brothers in the summer, this, so the funds for your film"

Wang Xiaohu hung up the phone immediately without waiting for him to finish speaking, and Zou Wenhuai, who was a dog, actually used this reason to push himself. Damn, we must think of getting out of this situation as soon as possible, and we must not let Zou Wenhuai continue to squeeze myself, you must know that if you don't jump out of Jiahe's circle, it will be difficult for him to realize his dream in the future.

If it weren't for Bruce Lee's old love to stay in Golden Harvest, Wang Xiaohu really wanted to pull him out to do it alone, but now that the wood is in the boat, it would be superfluous to say anything else.

There is also a cinema line, when it comes to the theater, Wang Xiaohu suddenly felt a little frustrated, everyone knows that the theater is a good thing, it is the final battlefield of the box office, whoever holds the sufficient theater in his hand can basically monopolize the entire film distribution market, otherwise even if your film production company is bullish, there is no theater to broadcast your movie is empty talk.

The road has to go step by step, and the foundation must be beaten little by little, at least before July 20, 73, you can't be too rigid with Zou Wenhuai, but this doesn't mean that Wang Xiaohu doesn't have his own ideas, what he is most eager for now is to set up the team as soon as possible, but looking at these people around him, in addition to being a dragon and tiger martial artist, martial arts instructor or something, other things such as field notes, props, lighting, photography, and editing are really out of stock.

"It's not easy to be a director! Be a father and a mother again! Wang Xiaohu sighed heavily and sighed.

For the next two days, Wang Xiaohu stayed in the abandoned factory, and the main actors of "Raptors Across the River" such as Bruce Lee, Luo Lishi, Rob Baker, and Huang Renzhi also nested here, and Wang Xiaohu rehearsed their actions according to the script.

The martial arts action has been designed perfectly, and each of the participants has a copy, but the effect of the rehearsal made Bruce Lee very dissatisfied, so Bruce Lee had to take them to this abandoned factory, which was personally checked by Wang Xiaohu, after all, "Jingwumen" was filmed smoothly in this way, and this abandoned factory is like the actor training base of Concord Company.

"Stop! Handsome guy, how many times have I told you, please be faster the next time you launch the low whip leg. Don't you put any poss, are you still worried that Brother Xiaolong will be kicked down by you, just kidding, I designed this action to show the principle of Brother Xiaolong's interception of Kune Do. Forget it, you can't understand Chinese, I'll demonstrate it myself! ”

The handsome guy Huang mentioned by Wang Xiaohu is Huang Renzhi, who played a karate master in "Raptors Across the River", and he played a first-layer Aikido master in "Game of Death".

The part of the training that was stopped just now was because Huang Renzhi always had to make some so-called handsome small movements before his legs, which made Wang Xiaohu very unhappy.

Although Huang Renzhi couldn't understand Cantonese, he could guess the meaning from Wang Xiaohu's expression and movements, and his face was a little annoyed at the moment. When he couldn't help but want to say something, he was stopped by Rob Becrow.

"Huang, if you think you're more powerful than Lorres, I won't stop you from going up."

"You're saying he's even better than Lorres?" Hwang In-sik asked puzzled.

Rob Baker shrugged and said, "Well, you'd better ask Loris yourself, I'm just hearsay, they said Loris was not happy with the script on the first day"

"Well, if Luo Lishi doesn't have any opinions, I'd better forget it, I was brutally cleaned up by Luo Lishi the day before yesterday" Huang Renzhi was immediately deflated after hearing this.
