Originally, Wang Xiaohu was still excited to be on CCTV for the first time, but he suddenly lost interest in the interview at the beginning, because the questions raised by these reporters made him feel very awkward. [Full text reading]

For example, when a reporter from the People's Liberation Army asked him if you first thought of the country in your heart when he accepted the provocation of the People's Liberation Army, and whether you were swept away by the martyrs with your high patriotic feelings

Wang Xiaohu was the sweat at that time, and said in his heart that I was moved by the martyrs of wool, even if you said that I was Huo Yuanjia, Huang Feihong, Wang Ziping and the master of national arts, even if you said that I was not fighting alone, it would be more reliable to have n billion people fighting with me, how could I be so thunderous!

In fact, he wanted to say shameless, he felt that the national situation at that time was there, so he didn't continue to slander, with a painless smile on his face, Wang Xiaohu finally returned to Yanjing Hotel sweating.

Zhao Gang saw his posture and asked with a wry smile: "Does it feel similar to accepting interrogation?" ”

Wang Xiaohu sighed and waved his hand and said: "Forget it, I won't accept interviews with domestic reporters if I am killed in the future, it is too torturous, this is no different from watching the premiere in the Great Hall." ”

"Then you have to train a few serious and high-consciousness employees to come over, otherwise you will have to deal with such things in person in the future, and you will feel better."

Wang Xiaohu nodded very seriously and said: "Lao Zhao, what you said is so right, I really have to train a few rigid guys to come over, hey, just holding meetings, interviews, and listening to reports make me dizzy, if I can choose, I would rather fight with 500 black belt masters for five days and five nights." ”

Listening to Wang Xiaohu's exaggerated statement, Zhao Gang laughed.

In the evening of the same day, Liao Gong and Minister Huang set up a celebration banquet for Wang Xiaohu, thanking Wang Xiaohu for his important contributions to Sino-Chinese cultural exchanges.

Wang Xiaohu couldn't help but smile dumbly when he saw that the three students were also coming, and smiled at Minister Huang, he knew the significance of Minister Huang's doing, to put it bluntly, it was like showing favor to himself in disguise and selling favors.

Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige, and Tian Zhuangzhuang are in their last year of attending classes at the film academy, and they are basically in an internship state at this stage, and they don't have too many cultural classes to study. Of course, he hopes that Mr. Wang can bring all three of them to Concord for further study, so that in a few years, they will become the backbone of Chinese films.

However, Wang Xiaohu doesn't like this, because Minister Huang's doing so will affect the artistic careers of the three fifth-generation directors, even Wang Xiaohu himself is now teaching Zhang Yimou in a peripheral way.

The so-called peripheral teaching is to only focus on the shooting techniques of a movie, the director's theme and ideas, etc., and tell from the preparation of a movie, the selection of actors, and the rigor of props.

It can be said that when it comes to art and script creation, he rarely tells Zhang Yimou, even if Zhang Yimou asks about this matter, Wang Xiaohu will answer in the simplest and most direct way.

On the one hand, Wang Xiaohu is self-aware, after all, he is a filmmaker who has become a monk halfway, and he is immersed in a commercial point of view from the inside out, that is, movies that do not make money are not filmed, and sometimes he will wear wolf skins such as promoting Chinese culture and the American dream to achieve the ultimate goal of winning the box office.

As for the high hat that others said about him, in fact, Wang Xiaohu wanted to say: Those are all made by piggybacking, in order to cater to the needs of a certain aspect, in order to maximize the box office.

In terms of real artistic creation, he is not as good as Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige and others, he is very clear about this, so he is very wise to promote his strengths and avoid weaknesses, only tell them a general idea, and let them figure out the rest by themselves, so as not to spread any farce of "misleading people's children" in the future.

"Xiao Zhang, Xiao Chen, Xiao Tian, why don't you toast the teacher?" Minister Huang quietly glanced at him, and the three students stood up to toast Wang Xiaohu.

Wang Xiaohu naturally wouldn't save Minister Huang's face on this occasion, and drank with a smile on his face, but it was true that he was not very comfortable in his heart.

This feeling became more and more intense as he had in-depth exchanges with the high-level leaders in China.

When he returned to the Yanjing Hotel, it was already more than one o'clock in the morning, Wang Xiaohu stood in the room with a lot of emotion, and he could clearly feel that the domestic demands were gradually increasing, for example, Minister Huang put forward the request of whether he could add domestic actors to "Mulan" at the reception banquet tonight.

Wang Xiaohu nodded and agreed after a little thought at the time, after all, the filming of "Mulan" requires a large number of actors, and it is no problem for domestic actors to play an infantry A and cavalry B in the film, so there is only one left to find extras.

But Minister Huang asked for the role of a general, and Wang Xiaohu frowned tightly on the spot.

Because Wang Xiaohu has determined that the role of the general Li Tai will be played by Chow Yun-fat, this time in addition to pushing Lin Qingxia to the international stage, he will also promote Chow Yun-fat together to improve Chow Yun-fat's influence in the world.

Jackie Chan has found his own path of development, although it is still in the exploration stage, Wang Xiaohu believes that in a few years, Jackie Chan will successfully enter Hollywood.

Stephen Chow, Jet Li, and Donnie Yen are still in the growth stage, and they still need a lot of training to make their action style and acting style mature, so Wang Xiaohu gives priority to bringing Chow Yun-fat up.

And tonight, Minister Huang actually proposed to let domestic actors serve as generals, Wang Xiaohu naturally didn't agree, it's not that he looks down on Chinese actors, even the students of the 78th class of film schools, there is no decent one in terms of appearance, temperament, and box office appeal, to put it mildly, these people are only a little better than the extras, their acting skills are blunt and old-fashioned, and they are not even as good as the vases in the Hong Kong film industry.

Let them take on the role of the male number one, unless Wang Xiaohu's head is kicked by a donkey.

"Mulan" is Wang Xiaohu's highlight next year, and it is definitely not less than "Myth" in terms of investment, and a series of work such as the sorting out of the script and the selection of actors also took a long time, how could he agree that such a key film would be ruined because of a bad actor, after all, what was invested was money, and what he wanted to get back was ten, hundred, or thousand times the profits.

Without a certain degree of fame, no considerable acting skills, and no box office appeal, Wang Xiaohu will not take risks, and more importantly, in addition to Ge You and Jiang Wen, domestic actors are also a little well-known in the world, and they can be regarded as box office appeal, as for the others, Wang Xiaohu is really difficult to pick a few, and the growth of these actors is too slow! (You can recommend a few potential stocks)

Liao Gong saw that Wang Xiaohu's face was unhappy at that time, and immediately made a round, and this matter could be regarded as being revealed, but it planted a seed in Wang Xiaohu's heart.

There are some things as long as Wang Xiaohu is happy, we will agree with a smile on whatever you say, but when it comes to fundamental aspects, Wang Xiaohu must stick to his position, and he should be strong when he should be strong.

Again, the phrase "My advantage is irreplaceable." ”

After all, Wang Xiaohu and the mainland are still at the surface level of using each other.

It's true that the line is the champion, and the line also has its own ups and downs!

Wang Xiaohu directly contacted the "Huo Yuanjia" shooting team the next day, and at present, "Huo Yuanjia" has completed the location shooting in Tianjin, and is filming in the old "Jingwu Gymnasium" in Shanghai, Xu Xiaoming looked tired when he saw Wang Xiaohu.

"Ah Hu, why are you here?"

Wang Xiaohu patted him on the shoulder and said, "Come and see if you are lazy, hehe, do you feel that there are a lot of uncomfortable places when you come to the mainland for the first time to shoot?" ”

Xu Xiaoming smiled bitterly: "Yes, it's nothing to be tired from filming, it's just that everyone is not very accustomed to the diet in the mainland, and when filming in Tianjin, several leading actors were seriously unadaptable, and it took more than half a month to get used to it, which is not easy." ”

"How long will it take to finish the location?" Wang Xiaohu asked.

"It's going to take another week." Xu Xiaoming said: "Everyone has been tired these days, and I am embarrassed to let them work overtime." ”

Wang Xiaohu nodded and said, "Well, don't deliberately pursue the filming progress, the important thing is that the quality must be excellent, why didn't you see that guy Liang Xiaolong?" ”

As soon as Liang Xiaolong was mentioned, Xu Xiaoming began to pour bitter water: "This kid always makes trouble for me, and I almost got into a fight with the local hired extras yesterday, hey, he is the most uneasy in the whole crew!" ”

Wang Xiaohu couldn't cry or laugh when he heard this, and followed Xu Xiaoming to find Liang Xiaolong, who was practicing in the room, in the hotel where the crew was temporarily staying.

Good guy, I saw Liang Xiaolong leaning against the corner of the wall, doing handstand push-ups under his head and feet, Wang Xiaohu suddenly praised it when he saw it, this kind of handstand push-ups don't look simple, but it is very difficult to do, many people will not do it a second time after trying it once.

This trick was once called the inverted pyramid by Bruce Lee, which means that in this situation, he can make his arm strength explode and increase, judging from Liang Xiaolong's practice state in front of him, he still needs to rely on the wall to complete it, which should be regarded as a beginner.

"Hey, Dragon Boy, Ah Hu has come to see you!" Xu Xiaoming frowned and said angrily.

"Huh?" Liang Xiaolong, who was standing upside down, screamed when he heard this, and when he raised his head vigorously to see that it was Wang Xiaohu, he fell to the floor with a pop.
