Chapter 670

In late November, the publicity work of the first Hong Kong Film Awards entered the final stage. Both Hong Kong filmmakers and citizens expressed high concern for the first Hong Kong Film Awards Ceremony.

After the completion of the documentary film development history of Hong Kong, it was broadcast on TVB TVB and Phoenix TV in turn. Several major movie categories in the mature period, and then to the familiar "One Armed Swordsman", "Fist of Fury", "Ip Man" and "Police Story" in the golden period of the 60s and 70s, almost every film with special significance Movies are shown in documentaries.

As if in the promenade of history, citizens can witness the changes of the entire Hong Kong movie while sitting in front of the TV.

"Turn on the TV and watch a movie" has also become a mantra that citizens have been talking about recently.

Whenever an old movie finishes playing, a schedule will appear on the TV screen, so you can choose whether to watch the movie according to your preferences.

Wang Xiaohu also divided the TV programs into several major sections according to the types of Hong Kong movies. For example, in the silent film era, the main shows were old movies from the 40s and 50s. Considering that the audience might not like them, they were arranged after 10 p.m.

For example, Huangmei Diao and Cantonese films are scheduled to be screened in the morning, for the elderly or old movie fans to enjoy, and in the afternoon, Hong Kong films from the 60s are shown.

Of course, Wang Xiaohu also spent a lot of money to buy film copyrights. Established film companies such as Shaw Brothers, Great Wall, Phoenix, Xinlian and other film stocks are quite rich, and some films were even unable to be released for various reasons after shooting.

At present, no company other than Xiehe International has any bad movies, and Wang Xiaohu's move has helped them a lot.

Novelty, cost-saving, and convenient, as long as you have a TV at home, you can find your favorite movies from movie channels for free.

This way of watching movies is really new to the citizens of Xiangjiang. You don’t have to wait in line, and you don’t have to regret spending money to watch a bad movie. You can watch movies for free as long as you turn on the TV. If you don't like it, just change the channel.

The talk show "The Art of Life", which once had a good rating on TVB, was also transplanted to the movie channel. It can be seen that Run Run Shaw has also begun to pay attention to the prospect of the movie channel.

Everything is accumulating heat for the first Hong Kong Film Awards.

Under the influence of various media, the award ceremony of the Golden Image Awards has gradually attracted the attention of the public. After all, the film and film have been established for so many years, and the citizens have always been worried about the absence of their own film awards ceremony. Now that there is one, everyone will definitely It's fresh to see, and naturally, the audience of the Academy Awards ceremony has gradually spread from people in the film industry.

Wang Xiaohu saw that the outside publicity was heating up, and after citizens were interested in the Golden Statue Awards, he called Yu Yongjian and said, "Launch a ticket sales plan."

"What is the range of ticket prices?" Yu Yongjian has no experience.

"Let's make it cheaper for the first concert. It's cheaper than Teresa Teng's concert tickets. Anyway, people can't just buy tickets casually."

This standard made Yu Yongjian scratch his head a little. He really didn't understand why he didn't let him get tickets casually since it was going to be lower.

When he bit the bullet and expressed his doubts, Wang Xiaohu burst out laughing on the phone.

"A documentary is obviously not enough. If you want the Golden Statue Awards to become the public's attention and expectation, you have to use other publicity methods." Questions to win tickets, mobilize the enthusiasm of the citizens, and even hold a large-scale knowledge contest with the content of the documentary, and the top [-] citizens can go to the Golden Statue Awards for free."

Wang Xiaohu mentioned several propaganda methods in one breath, and Yu Yongjian's brain on the other end of the phone had already crashed. After a long time, he took a long breath, and only one word flashed in his mind: Strong!

Yes, if you were someone else, you might not have thought of such a variety of publicity methods, holding knowledge contests, creating film experts, and just listening to the publicity plan is enough for Yu Yongjian to feel the effect, let alone It has really come into practice.

So Yu Yongjian immediately acted according to Wang Xiaohu's suggestion. All the lucky draw activities were fully sponsored by Xiehe International, Phoenix TV Movie Channel, and Wireless TVB, and it was very lively.

After the matter of the Golden Statue Awards was on the right track, Wang Xiaohu finally had time to work on the revision of the script of "Ip Man 2".

Looking at the script in front of him, Wang Xiaohu has a special feeling. In "Ip Man 1", he can make simple revisions through some gossip narrated by Ip Man himself. At least those rumors are still well-founded, making the movie look better. Much authenticity.

But "Ip Man 2" is basically the whole story of nonsense. Ip Man smiled wryly after seeing the script back then, and even thought about it for a long time until "Ip Man 1" premiered before reluctantly agreeing to it. What did it explain? Exaggeration and fabrication There are too many ingredients in it, and Ip Man himself is too embarrassed to admit that it is himself!
Wang Xiaohu can also be regarded as thoroughly understanding the suffering of the original editor Huang Ziheng.

Ye Wen in the first half of the first part is actually an alternative character who is alone outside the martial arts. Unlike the masters on Wuguan Street, he is a rich young man who landed with a golden key in his mouth. He practices boxing and sparring in a low-key manner. No need to be forced to make a living and open a museum to teach apprentices. In the second half, he was forced by the situation to become a hero, but he is still not a real martial artist. On the contrary, Master Liao and Jin Shanxun are typical martial arts fighters.

In the second part, Ip Man's identity has changed a lot. He came to the unfamiliar Hong Kong. As a completely ordinary citizen, he still suffers from the hardships of life and seeks the minimum conditions for food and clothing for his family. Adapted, and naturally stepped into the Hong Kong martial arts full of disputes.

Wang Xiaohu always felt that in the second part, Hong Zhennan, the grand master of Hong boxing played by Sammo Hung, was a bit stealing the show. It was Hong Zhennan who was beaten to death by the boxing champion, which inspired Ye Man's blood, and continued to challenge the boxing champion.

This kind of scene grabbing is different from the first film where Master Liao was beaten to death by the Japanese, and Ip Man "beat ten of them one by one". At least when Master Liao died too abruptly, everyone did not react and there was not much sorrow.

But Hong Zhennan was beaten to death in the ring by the boxing champion, especially the sentence he said, "I can bear it for my life, but I can't bear to insult Chinese martial arts", which instantly made Hong Zhennan's image extremely magnified and won Wang Xiaohu's heart. Fewer tears and flames of anger.It also gave Ye Wen a necessary reason to challenge the boxing champion.

It's just that this reason is a bit far-fetched, and Wang Xiaohu still feels that this plot is a bit familiar. After thinking about it today, I found out that "Rocky 3" that Stallone is currently in the preparatory stage is such a plot. (Interested friends can go and have a look.)
"Yeah, Huang Ziheng directly borrowed from "Rocky 3"!" Wang Xiaohu rolled his eyes depressedly, and really didn't know what to say for a while.

Originally, he felt that the second half of the script of "Ip Man 2" was a bit too far-fetched, but now he found that the original screenwriter actually "borrowed" the plot from "Rocky 3". As a boss, he was always embarrassed to compete with his younger brother Stallone Creative right?
This further strengthened Wang Xiaohu's determination to revise the second half of the script of "Ip Man 2".

Wang Xiaohu looked at the script repeatedly, at this moment, Zhao Yazhi pushed open the door of the study and walked in, calling softly: "Ah Hu, Uncle Huang and the others are here."

"Oh." Wang Xiaohu closed the script, "Doesn't it mean that the genius is here?"

Zhao Yazhi smiled and said: "Yes, I also complained to Uncle Huang just now, he said he was afraid of delaying your work." After speaking, he saw the script on the desk, "Are you still worrying about the script?"

Wang Xiaohu spread his hands with a wry smile and said, "Yes."

"Don't worry, the big deal is that we won't shoot this year." Zhao Yazhi said.

"This year is the tenth anniversary of Master's death." Wang Xiaohu said with emotion: "If you miss this opportunity, you will have to wait for the [-]th anniversary, and I won't be able to touch it at that time."

Zhao Yazhi sighed slightly and said, "I'm afraid you'll be exhausted, I've never seen you worry about the script like this before."

"It's okay." Wang Xiaohu patted his wife's face, and walked out of the study with a slightly sore cervical spine.

Perhaps it was his wife's words that made Wang Xiaohu clear, and let him know that everything he created was plagiarized from the future. In the past, he wrote scripts at his fingertips, even though some scripts had been carefully revised by him, they were still based on others Make minor modifications.

However, "Ip Man 2" is very different. If Wang Xiaohu is not Ip Man's disciple, if Hong Kong has returned to China now, he may not have to worry about embarrassment.He has to write with his heart, and he has to write wonderfully and reasonably. The difficulty is no less than creating a brand new "Ip Man 2".

In the living room, Huang Chunliang was drinking tea with Liang Xiang, Ye Buqing, Zhao Yun, Luo Yao, Xu Shangtian, and He Jinming.

These seven are considered to be the strongest spokespersons of Wing Chun School today, and all of them have obtained the true biography of Ip Man. After Ye Man's death, with the help of Wang Xiaohu's abundant funds, the seven of them opened Wing Chun Martial Arts Centers all over the world to attract people from all kinds of skin colors. The students will carry forward Wing Chun.

Wang Xiaohu strode into the living room, clasped his fists and said with a smile: "Seven uncles, long time no see!"

Although the seven of them were Wang Xiaohu's uncles, they didn't put on airs like uncles. They all stood up with a smile and clasped their fists in return. Huang Chunliang smiled and said, "Aren't you surprised to see us?"

Wang Xiaohu nodded: "Yeah, I agreed to pick you up at the airport, but I didn't expect you to come early, I'm so rude."

"We don't have those stinky rules between us, there is no disrespect." Huang Chunliang walked over and raised his hand to pat Wang Xiaohu, and said at the same time: "Let me see if you have neglected your martial arts all these years."
