Chapter 690 Will "Ip Man 2" become Wang Xiaohu's Waterloo?

The reporter of "Xindao Daily" had just finished interviewing Wang Xiaohu, and immediately reported to his boss non-stop.

Because this reporter thinks that the news value that can be used and tapped for the sequel of "Ip Man" is too high.

Moreover, "New Island Daily" is funded and hosted by Hong Kong British, and its political purpose is self-evident.

Wang Xiaohu filmed this film during the negotiations on the "return of Hong Kong", and it may become a premeditated and planned action. Who made Wang Xiaohu have such a close relationship with mainland China in recent years!

According to the high-level speculation of "New Island Daily", Wang Xiaohu is very likely to receive some hints from the Chinese mainland government, taking advantage of the British side's failure in negotiations, to pour fuel on it, and completely expose Hong Kong people's dissatisfaction with the Hong Kong British government. , to call on all Hong Kong citizens to surrender to the embrace of the mainland!
MacLehose shook his head after listening to the high-level deduction of "New Island Daily", and he said with certainty: "NO, this phenomenon is completely impossible to happen, Tiger is not that kind of person! I just talked to He entered into the conversation, he just wanted to make movies, and he didn't want to involve any political meaning."

But the think tanks immediately used the old Chinese saying "Knowing people and knowing the face but not knowing the heart, painting the skin of a tiger is hard to paint the bones" to insist on the possibility of their point of view, and even listed the few movies that Wang Xiaohu has made over the years. Which of the three world-renowned movies is not promoting Chinese culture, and according to the data, he still recognized his ancestors a few years ago, so he has to be on guard!

The think tanks talked in a hurry, and Lao Mai began to mutter in his heart.

But from his heart, he still refused to believe that Wang Xiaohu would do this, so he immediately called Wang Xiaohu, wanting to hear what Wang Xiaohu meant in person.

Wang Xiaohu didn't keep MacLehose waiting, and soon came to the office led by the Secretary of the Governor of Hong Kong.

"Tiger, please sit down." MacLehose pointed to the sofa, and after Wang Xiaohu sat down, he sat beside Wang Xiaohu and said with a complicated mood: "I heard some bad news about you from others. , I heard that you are going to invest in a movie, right?"

Wang Xiaohu thought to himself that sure enough, he really guessed it right.

After nodding unabashedly, Wang Xiaohu said: "Yes, there is indeed a filming plan, mainly to film a part of the story of my ancestor, Mr. Ip Man, after he came to Hong Kong. Some people may feel that the content of the film is a bit sensitive, but Sir, please believe me, Xiaohu is definitely not the kind of unreasonable person, I will handle this matter very carefully and carefully."

"Tiger, if you say that, I'm relieved!" MacLehose heaved a sigh of relief, but he still frowned and said, "You should know the political significance of the "Nijima Daily", although I believe you won't do so, But most of the nobles stationed in Hong Kong may not believe it, you should let me explain it, right?"

Wang Xiaohu found that MacLehose was very good at handling things. What he said to himself was completely humane. He first expounded his views from a personal point of view, and then raised his reasonable demands from a business point of view.

Wang Xiaohu smiled, and did not answer MacLehose's question directly, but talked about some seemingly irrelevant things.

"I don't know if Sir still remembers the importance of our Hong Kong to the Americans during the Vietnam War?"

MacLehose opened his eyes. As the governor of Hong Kong, he didn't know the strategic significance of Hong Kong. During the Vietnam War, Hong Kong was the logistics base of the US Navy fleet and its rest and entertainment center. It was far more important than Thailand in terms of geographical location.

It's just that MacLehose didn't understand why Wang Xiaohu said these words.

He nodded and said, "Of course I do, but does that have anything to do with what we're going to talk about today?"

Wang Xiaohu nodded and said, "If you have listened to my script about the sequel of "Ip Man", maybe you will be more able to offset the concerns you had earlier. The script is arranged like this."

Half an hour passed, and MacLehose had been listening quietly all the time. When he heard Wang Xiaohu talk about the critical moment, he suddenly realized that although Wang Xiaohu only mentioned a few small points, the wise Governor of Hong Kong had already realized The ingenuity of this script.

"Wonderful! Tiger, how did you come up with this idea? I thought you would shoot the movie as a propaganda film against the British government. Who knew you would arrange such a clever plot!"

MacLehose praised Wang Xiaohu unceremoniously and said: "Now I am completely relieved, Tiger, you are simply the most outstanding Sir in the British Empire."

Wang Xiaohu said contemptuously in his heart: You can turn your face faster than rolling a curtain, I don't know who was scared just now.

"Of course, I promised you that I will fully cooperate with the current peaceful and stable development of Hong Kong." Wang Xiaohu spread his hands and said.

Although he didn't express his dissatisfaction in the words, it also made MacLehose blush, he coughed twice in embarrassment, and said, "Tiger, I'm sorry, I will arrange for the "Nijima Daily" to publish an article to clarify .”

"No need." Wang Xiaohu waved his hand and said, "It's not necessary at all, as long as Sir doesn't suspect that I'm a spy or agent sent by mainland China, that's enough."

"Tiger, it seems that you still blame me." MacLehose's expression was extremely awkward.

"Hehe." Wang Xiaohu said with a chuckle, "It's good to maintain such public opinion, it's like promoting the film for free."

"Hahaha! I didn't expect you to really use public opinion resources." MacLehose smiled bitterly upon hearing this.

After a long time, he sighed and said, "Tiger, please don't blame me. You are different from Li Ka-shing, Pao Yu-gang, and Fok Ying-tung. Maybe your economic wealth is not as much as theirs, but your influence is greater than theirs combined. .”

"Don't worry, I understand." Wang Xiaohu nodded.

Sometimes being paid attention by both countries can be a double-edged sword, and now Wang Xiaohu has realized the meaning of it.

Before leaving, MacLehose personally sent him out, which attracted the attention of many people in the Hong Kong Governor's Office Building, especially those "conspirators" who broke their glasses all over the floor, wondering what exactly Wang Xiaohu said to the Hong Kong Governor What, why didn't the Governor of Hong Kong get angry, and even greeted him personally with a smile on his face?
Before getting into the car, MacLehose whispered to Wang Xiaohu: "Tiger, I will propose you to the Queen as a Justice of the Peace later!"

Justice of the Peace?What it is?
Wang Xiaohu rubbed his nose, he never had a clear idea of ​​these jazz and gentlemen created by the British.

He is not the kind of person who likes to pretend to be a jazz status all over the world, so he naturally doesn't pay much attention to these things.

MacLehose did not stop the "New Island Daily" from making various comments on Wang Xiaohu. In fact, he also wanted to see what Hong Kong people think about China's recovery of Hong Kong.

The next day, major newspapers in Hong Kong publicly announced that Wang Xiaohu would direct the sequel to "Ip Man".

First of all, Ming Pao made an objective comment.

"On the [-]th anniversary of the death of the great master Ip Man, his disciple Wang Xiaohu wants to shoot the sequel of "Ip Man" and join hands with Hollywood's first-line stars to create a brilliant kung fu movie."

From this, you can see that Jin Yong is protecting Wang Xiaohu in many ways. "Ming Pao" did not say some messy things, but from the perspective of movies, with Wang Xiaohu commemorating Ip Man as a key factor as the starting point, like everyone announced the sequel of "Ip Man". News about the launch.

Several major newspapers, led by "Nijima Daily", focused their reports on discussing the plot of the sequel to "Ip Man".

"It's hard to understand that Wang Xiaohu made a film with sensitive themes during a sensitive period. In the previous film, Ip Man beat the Japanese. When he learned that the sequel of "Ip Man" was about the conflicts between mainlanders, Hong Kong people, and British people, Wang Xiaohu We also openly admitted that Ip Man will fight foreigners in the sequel, and we are very disappointed in this.”

"Is Wang Xiaohu using the film to explain his attitude towards Hong Kong's return? Or is he trying to stir up hatred between Hong Kong people and the British? Let's wait and see!"

As soon as various articles were published, Xiehe International, Wang Xiaohu, and the sequel to "Ip Man" suddenly became the focus of Hong Kong people's attention.

A person expressed their great anticipation, as long as the citizens who have watched "Ip Man" can still vividly remember the scene when they watched it in theaters, there has never been a movie like "Ip Man" that has aroused everyone's sympathy and applause, even "Ip Man" In the "Your Favorite Movie Character" vote launched after the first publication of "Film Biweekly", the number of votes for "Ip Man" played by Wang Xiaohu far exceeded that of "Chen Zhen" played by Bruce Lee.

Ten years later, Wang Xiaohu is going to shoot the sequel of "Ip Man". How can you make the fans of that year not excited, and this time Wang Xiaohu will invite Hollywood actors to join, the plot of the film will definitely be more exciting, of course, everyone is most concerned about it The most important thing is how Ye Wen can beat foreigners with Wing Chun!
Another group of people expressed their concern. They all like Wang Xiaohu, but they don't want Wang Xiaohu to be implicated in politics. If Wang Xiaohu is blocked by the British Hong Kong government because of this movie, who will make good movies for them in the future? look!

You must know that the films directed by Wang Xiaohu are better than most Hong Kong films in terms of plot, picture, and martial arts, and are several grades of classics!

Some people even maintain a gloating attitude, because Wang Xiaohu has been so smooth in the past ten years. Almost every work he has shot has a high box office. Will encounter Waterloo.

Seeing Wang Xiaohu dominating the top box office charts every year, when will there be an accident to make everyone happy?
After reading these newspapers, Run Run Shaw picked up the phone and thought about it for a long time, then put it down again. He said in his heart that every time I was in a hurry, this kid was not in a hurry. He didn't know how he would solve this difficult problem. Well, let's wait and see what happens this time, and if he encounters trouble, I will help clear it up through my relationship.
