When Wang Xiaohu first came up with the idea of helping Tsui Hark shoot "New Shu Mountain", it was just because he admired Tsui Hark, and at the same time wanted to take "New Shu Mountain" to a higher level, of course, he didn't help Tsui Hark for free, because he knew that Tsui Hark would change jobs sooner or later, but he was just a behind-the-scenes promoter. 【Reading.com】

Now, with Liu Jialiang's "North and South Shaolin" making such a fuss, Wang Xiaohu suddenly grasped the lifeblood of Hong Kong films entering the mainland review process, and sought a lot of agency distribution fees for himself, which made him feel very surprised, but this is also the rent of the year, after all, this broad road is opened up by personal ability, and he bothered to take these agents to settle down.

Today's Spring Festival stalls are more lively than in previous years, "Xinshu Mountain" leads the way, "Chasing Girls" and "Wrong Car" of Xinyi City, and Debao's "Beware of Little Hands" and "People Are Scary" and other films follow closely behind.

Although Liu Jialiang of the Shaw Brothers Company was almost banned because of the poor situation in "North and South Shaolin", the box office results of "Martial Arts" and "Elders" directed by him were not bad. Wang Xiaohu still found Hui Yinghong after looking at the poster of the film.

Hui Yinghong is a female star with real talent and learning in Hong Kong movies in the 80s, but she still lost to Hu Huizhong, Michelle Yeoh, Li Saifeng and other overlords.

Another thing that interests Wang Xiaohu is "Youth on Fire", because the male protagonist of the film is Leslie Cheung, and Leslie Cheung's immature face is eye-catching with his immature acting skills in the film.

Wang Xiaohu's heart suddenly felt a lot more comfortable, because if Leslie Cheung did not appear in the film and television industry, when John Woo perfected the script of "The True Color of Heroes", he would have to find someone to poach Leslie Cheung. Now that Leslie Cheung has appeared, Chow Yun-fat has also become quite famous, just waiting for the out-of-fashion star Dillon to appear.

Not only Wang Xiaohu, but even John Woo didn't expect that "The True Color of Heroes" would delay filming in Hong Kong for a long time, of course, these are all later stories.

This year's Spring Festival, Wang Xiaohu's house is particularly lively, because Weng Meiling did not go back to her parents in the UK, but moved directly into No. 42 Cameron Road, and she plans to spend this Spring Festival at Wang Xiaohu's house.

Wang Xiaohu naturally has no objection, no matter how he says that he is also Weng Meiling's father, he has to take care of her in a reasonable way.

On the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, Wang Xiaohu got up and cleaned up as soon as possible, because last night Weng Meiling and Wang Jiaen not only made a mess of the living room, but even turned the upstairs bedroom and guest room upside down.

After a few days at home, Wang Xiaohu received a call from the Ministry of Culture, saying that Inner Mongolia had turned snow, and although the weather was a little cold, there was no large-scale snowfall, and asked Wang Xiaohu if he had turned on the filming in the past.

"Wait a minute, several actors on my side have gone home for the New Year, and it will probably be after the Lantern Festival that all the actors here can gather."

Wang Xiaohu refers to Lin Qingxia, she is a native of Taiwan, although the Taiwanese entertainment industry banned her, it can't stop her from going home for the New Year.

Zhao Gang then made an urgent call, "Lao Wang, there are some things you have to prepare mentally in advance, we have set up a special team in China to go to Hong Kong for investigation and consultation." ”

"What do you consult?" Wang Xiaohu frowned.

"Regarding the return of Hong Kong, I would like to hear the opinions of Hong Kong people. The candidates for this survey are mainly well-known people in Hong Kong, and you will definitely not be able to escape. Zhao Gang smiled.

Wang Xiaohu then remembered that Zhao Gang came to Hong Kong to inquire about topics such as the four major families, and it was obvious that he had detailed these materials during the filming of "Mulan".

Shaking his head with a wry smile, Wang Xiaohu said: "I will never invite you to come to Hong Kong to make films in the future, and you will also make a temporary cameo spy job." ”

"Don't mind, I didn't do it, President Liang did it himself, I just brought the results of the investigation over to me." Zhao Gang said aggrievedly: "Besides, what a good opportunity to go on a business trip to your side to eat and live for nothing, you should think more about me in the future." ”

Wang Xiaohu laughed on the phone, and then said: "Help me urge me about Mulan's former residence, if the crew is in the past, they will shoot the scene over there first." ”

Since the start of "Mulan", Wang Xiaohu has been filming intensively in Hong Kong on the one hand, and on the other hand, he has asked the Ministry of Culture to carry out the rescue work of Mulan culture.

"Don't worry, the matter has been done a long time ago, and now I look forward to you coming over to film, hehe." Zhao Gang said briskly: "Now that you, Mr. Wang, are well-known in China, and you are guessing what movie you will make next." ”

"Huh? And such a thing? Wang Xiaohu was stunned.

Zhao Gang analyzed on the phone and said: "Look, after you filmed "Myth", the Terracotta Warriors and Horses became popular, after you filmed "Shaolin Temple", Shaolin Temple was also developed, and you are now filming "Mulan", Mulan's former residence has been valued by the state, and even I have a total of what movie you will make next." ”

Wang Xiaohu couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this, thinking about it carefully, this is indeed the truth, but he knows that this phenomenon will not last long, he has not thought about what to shoot after "Mulan", on the one hand, he feels that he has been too busy over the years and wants to rest for half a year, on the other hand, it is too hard to communicate with the mainland, he is a simple person, and he does not want to mess up these messy political things.

In particular, I heard Zhao Gang say that the mainland will set up a special group to conduct investigations in Hong Kong and solicit Hong Kong people's views on "Hong Kong's return to the motherland." Even Wang Xiaohu had long expected that he would not be able to run away from him, but he didn't want to be too sharp in the investigation, so as not to arouse the dissatisfaction of the Hong Kong British political axe.

The current situation is very delicate, and Wang Xiaohu has always grasped the limits of cooperation with the mainland, and tried not to make the Hong Kong British political axe or any party on the mainland dissatisfied with him, and over time, he will also feel tired

Lin Qingxia and Lin Fengjiao returned to Hong Kong on the 14th day of the first lunar month, which happened to be Valentine's Day, but Valentine's Day without a Valentine made Lin Qingxia feel a little boring, so she stayed at Wang Xiaohu's house like Weng Meiling.

"On February 20, we plan to enter the mainland to shoot the remaining scenes of "Mulan"." Wang Xiaohu was writing a plan in the living room, and said to Lin Qingxia and Weng Meiling: "At the same time, the first iron-blooded Danxin of "Shooting the Condor" will also be launched in Inner Mongolia, and we will strive to finish filming within half a month." ”

"Lao Dou, there are 20 episodes of Iron Blood Danxin, can you finish filming it in half a month?" Weng Meiling said dissatisfiedly: "We haven't been squeezed to death by you yet!" ”

"Huh." Wang Xiaohu said with a smile: "I'm just talking about the scenes in Inner Mongolia, there shouldn't be much if you focus on filming, not to mention that you only appeared at the end of the first part, we can finish filming the part of Inner Mongolia and then go to Peach Blossom Island to film, that's when you are busy." ”

Weng Meiling was right when she thought about it, nodded and said, "Anyway, it's not me who is affected, whatever." ”

"You girl!" Wang Xiaohu shook his head with a wry smile, and said angrily: "You must know that I have given you half a year to prepare, everyone should figure out the lines and martial arts movements in place, in fact, half a month is a lot, if you want me to say, just the little scene in Mongolia can be done in a week." ”

Weng Meiling stuck out her tongue when she heard this, and said in her heart that in a week, Ah Huang and they will not be able to film continuously.

Wang Xiaohu's plan is relatively tight, because just two days ago, he had spent 450 million yuan to acquire Luen Mei Company, and now Winterdur is busy reorganizing Luen Mei and building it into Concord-Luen Mei Company.

To put it bluntly, Wang Xiaohu feels that he is a little short of money, and he still has to deal with Lucas and Spielberg, two "losers" who can burn money, and he also has to supply "industrial light and magic" for development, which is the first time since his rebirth that he feels that the money is not enough to spend.

It is said that Wang Xiaohu is now trying his best to control costs, complete the filming of "Mulan" as soon as possible, and arrange the global release as soon as possible, as long as the Mulan culture is promoted, and the copyright of the corresponding overseas breeding products is in his hands, he can get a steady stream of working capital, just like "Star Wars", "Mythology", "ET", and Rambo Sabre, these breeding products can contribute tens of millions of net income to Wang Xiaohu every year.

Wang Xiaohu was muttering about the shooting plan here, and Zhao Yazhi suddenly came over and said, "Ah Hu, you seem to have forgotten an important thing, right?" ”

"Huh?" Wang Xiaohu scratched his head and said, "No, right? You see, filming and playing "Mulan" by filming "Shooting the Condor", and returning to Hong Kong after "Shooting the Condor" in the mainland is completed, while engaging in the post-production of "Mulan", the global promotion is carried out, and at the same time "Shooting the Condor", most of the time schedule is quite fulfilling, how can you forget other things? ”

Zhao Yazhi took a deep breath, then opened her eyes and glared at her husband angrily, and said in a voice that was so soft that it made people feel crispy: "Husband, tomorrow is our son's fifth birthday, you even forgot such an important thing, didn't you find that our son was in a bad mood all day?" ”

Wang Xiaohu blinked, looking at Zhao Yazhi, who was already in a completely "berserk" state, and was stunned, and after a long time, he nodded and said, "Well, it seems to be like this." Without waiting for his wife to get angry, he hurriedly jumped up from the sofa and went to the bedroom to comfort his son.

In the living room, the three girls laughed.
