Chapter 667 Return or not has little effect on Xiehe International

The more classic film and television dramas in the previous life, the more Wang Xiaohu dared not to modify them by himself. If they were modified, it must be caused by some regrets.

Looking at every movie directed by Wang Xiaohu after his rebirth, almost all of them have been reprocessed based on the experience he summed up in his previous life. ".

Only a small part of "Shooting the Condors" has been changed. The rest are innovations in martial arts movements, costumes and props, and it has broken through the inherent advantages of Hong Kong TV dramas' stingy sets and inability to go to mainland China to film scenes. The icing on the cake makes the classics into boutiques.

It was indeed a lot of money, but Wang Xiaohu felt that it was worth it, and it should be, just as a tribute to the 83 edition of "Shooting the Condor", as a tribute to Qi Ye Jin Yong.

Everyone watched five or six episodes at one go on Phoenix TV. As the evening approached, Jin Yong, who was in a good mood, invited everyone out to sit down to express his gratitude to all the crew members.

During the meal, Wang Xiaohu said to Jin Yong: "Old Dou, as long as the TV drama is broadcast in the mainland at the end of the month, your old reputation will spread there. By then, your novels will be popular in the mainland for several years!"

Jin Yong smiled and said: "Isn't it your credit? Hey, Shaw has been running a TV station for several years, and he didn't get TV dramas to be broadcast in the mainland like you. On the contrary, you were the first to realize my dream. Xiaohu, this glass of wine Count me as my respect!"

What Jin Yong said was the truth. If it weren't for Wang Xiaohu's heated relationship with the mainland in the past few years, and if Wang Xiaohu had a good reputation in the mainland, it would be impossible for Hong Kong movies or TV dramas to cause such a big sensation in the mainland.

Wang Xiaohu has played a pivotal role in the development of Hong Kong films, and recently he has been fully preparing for the opening of the first Hong Kong Film Awards. The entire Hong Kong film circle is basically leading the way, and has secured his position as a film tycoon.

Wealth is nothing, Li Ka-shing and the others are rich, right, but they have been busy with their own business, no matter what industry they invest in, it is to satisfy their own selfish desires.

Wang Xiaohu is not the case. He became popular a few years ago, and he did not forget to support the Seven Little Fortune brothers who are like-minded. Now they are the backbone of Hong Kong movies.

Xiehe International has opened up markets all over the world, especially in mainland China, which has a historical relationship with Hong Kong. It took Wang Xiaohu 10 years to open up. He brought Hong Kong movies to the mainland, allowing mainlanders to understand Hong Kong and enjoy Hong Kong movies The various pleasures brought by it have surpassed the moral concepts of ordinary people.

It is foreseeable that, relying on Wang Xiaohu's first three films to pave the way for the upsurge of martial arts movies in the mainland, once "Shooting the Condor" hits the air, Jin Yong's martial arts novels are bound to create a whirlwind of martial arts literature in the mainland. Continental is recognized by readers, and this sense of satisfaction cannot be expressed in words.

No wonder Jin Yong speaks highly of Wang Xiaohu.

"There is no problem with the mainland, what are you going to do with Hong Kong?" Jin Yong said, "Should we join forces with Shaw's TVB?"

"Hehe." Wang Xiaohu took a sip of tea with a smile, and said after thinking for a while, "To be honest, I didn't even think about showing the TV series produced by Xiehe International in Hong Kong."

"Why?" Jin Yong asked wonderingly: "Isn't it because we are still fighting over the concert half a year ago?"

"The wolf is coming!"

Wang Xiaohu answered irrelevant questions, and he laughed out loud, "ATV was afraid that I would cooperate with TVB, and TVB was worried that I would disrupt their internal style, so I simply gave up working with any of them. TV stations all over Southeast Asia are in touch."

"Hey, why are they bothering?" Jin Yong sighed. After all, he has a large crowd in Hong Kong. If such an excellent "Shooting the Condor" is no longer broadcast in Hong Kong, I feel somewhat regretful.

But he had to be considerate of Wang Xiaohu's difficulties. ATV even said that Xiaohu has been working with TVB for so many years and he is already an old buddy.

The problem is inside the wireless.Although Run Run Shaw is now the president of TVB, Fang Yathua is in charge of the TV station's affairs. As the boss's wife, Fang Dong, she firmly resists Wang Xiaohu.

For nothing else, the TV series produced by Wang Xiaohu surpassed all the works of TVB, so that the TV series with the highest ratings have been sent by Wang Xiaohu for so many years. Wireless TVB is the number one overlord of Hong Kong TV series, but it relies on Concord International to support the scene. The arrogant Fang Yihua couldn't accept it.

"It's really embarrassing for you to be caught in the middle." Jin Yong smiled wryly and said, "If it doesn't work, I'll talk to Shaw."

Wang Xiaohu shook his head and said, "It's better not to use it, it's like Xiehe International is crying and shouting that it can't find a distribution channel."

Hearing this, Jin Yong screamed inwardly. He is now very aware of Wang Xiaohu's good intentions. It's not that "Shooting the Condor" cannot be broadcast in Hong Kong. With Wang Xiaohu's current resources, nothing else, just open a TV drama channel on Phoenix TV.

But if you really want to do that, and just follow the old saying that "the wolf is coming", ATV and TVB will definitely panic. If it goes wrong, the TV system in Hong Kong will have to be reshuffled, and it will even cause a large number of talents in this industry chain. drain.

Wang Xiaohu didn't want to create such a situation, and he had to take care of Run Run Shaw's face, so he broke away from the increasingly fierce Hong Kong TV market and opened up his own way to develop the mainland market.

Hey, sometimes it is a sin to only produce high-quality goods!

Jin Yong picked up his wine glass in distress and said, "Xiao Hu, no matter what decision you make, Lao Dou will fully support you."

Wang Xiaohu smiled and clinked glasses with Jin Yong.

Even if Wang Xiaohu didn't say it, Jin Yong now wants to understand that no matter how mature the Hong Kong market is, it is not as big as the mainland's little thumb, and the mainland market will grow day by day with the reform and opening up.

One is sesame and the other is watermelon.

If Jin Yong was allowed to choose, he would definitely choose watermelon.

More importantly, Jin Yong feels that Wang Xiaohu is like a bridge erected between Hong Kong and the mainland. Now that Hong Kong films are released nationwide in the mainland, they must be marked with the trademark of "Concord International".

I believe it won't be long before the TV dramas in Hong Kong will definitely follow this path. Wang Xiaohu is the key hub. He really can't do some things without him. Who made him a celebrity in the mainland now?

In late October 1982, major newspapers in Hong Kong began to publish an event that was very important to Hong Kong people: China and Britain had re-negotiations on the return of Hong Kong in BJ last month, and British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher personally visited the people’s The Great Hall had an interview with Chief Deng, and the two sides had their first heated debate on resolving issues left over from history.

The headlines of major newspapers all reported Deng's words: "Hong Kong is China's territory, and we must take it back! There is no room for maneuver on the issue of sovereignty."

The words are decisive, sonorous and powerful, and powerful.

Margaret Thatcher, who is known as the "Iron Lady" in the West, met Chief Deng, who was called "Steel Company" by the Communist Party. She fell while stepping out of the steps of the Great Hall of the People, and the newspapers said with a pun, After seeing Deng, she stumbled.

Since then, China and Britain have conducted more frequent negotiations on the future of Hong Kong.The mainland is also actively working on Hong Kong, focusing on a series of speeches made by Chief Deng on "one country, two systems", but the effect is minimal, because all Hong Kong citizens are in a state of panic and confusion.

"Return" has suddenly become a major political issue discussed by all Hong Kong citizens, forcing the Hong Kong people who have been focusing on the economic process as the mainstream development and have little political awareness to reorganize their mentality.

For mainland China, the topic of Hong Kong's return means more excitement and longing.

But for Hong Kong people, it means changing from spiritual concepts to material concepts, from not caring about politics to having political plots, from colonial identity to Chinese identity, all kinds of anxiety and anxiety permeate the hearts of Hong Kong citizens.

Hong Kong people are living in an embarrassing situation between China and the United Kingdom. This embarrassing situation has always affected generations of Hong Kong people, especially the young people nowadays.

Reflected in real life, the differences in political and economic environments have caused Hong Kong people to have worries and doubts about the reunification of '[-]'. The focus is on whether the different political systems and relatively disparate economic pace after the reunification will hinder the free development of Hong Kong's economy and prosperity, and whether it will affect the standard of living of the people of Hong Kong.

Xiehe International Headquarters also shifted the topic from whether Wu Yusen is qualified for "Seraphim" to the comeback. All the young people came to work with sad faces all day long, and Wang Xiaohu couldn't help but smile wryly after watching it.

Under the influence of such emotions, work efficiency will definitely be greatly reduced.

Wang Xiaohu felt that going on like this was not a long-term solution, so after eating at noon, he called all the employees of the company to the square. Seeing the confused eyes, he coughed lightly and said: "To be honest, Do you know that you guys look very embarrassed? You have been with me, Wang Xiaohu, for so many years, don’t you know what I’m doing?”

do what?Make money by making movies, do you even need to ask, have you ever seen any movie company run a sauna?
"Use your brains, if you are careful, you will find that I have been thinking about your happiness all these years. If you are stupid, I will give you a direction to think. Go to the cinema and watch "Myth", "Myth" Shaolin Temple" and "Mulan", and then look at "North and South Shaolin" filmed by the Shaw Brothers."

As soon as Wang Xiaohu finished speaking, some quick-witted employees already understood what Wang Xiaohu wanted to do and what Wang Xiaohu had been doing for the past few years.

Yes, currently Concorde International has launched various cooperation projects with the mainland, not only limited to co-productions, but also building movie theaters in the mainland, participating in the construction of mainland culture, and investing in other industries other than movies.

Doesn’t everything mean that Hong Kong’s return or not has no influence on Xiehe International? More importantly, Xiehe International has now started to make money in the mainland. Wouldn’t everyone’s life be more stable if they made money?

No, I don't know, but I was taken aback. Wang Xiaohu's few words made the employees of the company suddenly open up and feel at ease.

Compared with Concorde International's success, other film companies are not so lucky.
