Chapter 1006: The 1st Grandmaster

After Xiao Yunhai finished writing the script, Zhao Wanqing read it from beginning to end and liked the character Hua Qiangu very much. It's a pity that she needs to take care of the children at home and has no time to shoot at all.

Zhao Wanqing said coquettishly, "Husband, I blame you, why didn't you come up with such a good script earlier?"

Xiao Yunhai giggled and said: "Even if I took it out before, can you squeeze in the time? Don't worry, I have prepared a good book for your comeback. In the second half of the year, we will be able to start the machine. ."

Zhao Wanqing said with a look of surprise: "What book? Movie or TV series?"

Xiao Yunhai said: "You forgot, when my grandfather came, he asked me to make a movie introducing the martial arts. I have already thought about it, and it will be called "The Grandmaster of the Generation". I will play the male lead, Ye Wen, and you will play the female role. The protagonist Gong Er."

That's right, Xiao Yunhai is going to shoot "The Grandmaster" by the great director Wong Kar Wai in his previous life.

This film caused a huge sensation in the entertainment circle at that time and won an unknown number of awards, especially Zhang Ziyi, with the role of Mr. Gong Er, swept the best actress in almost all awards ceremonies in Asia, reaching the eighth seal. After the point, it is simply a miracle.

It's a pity that the box office of "The Grandmaster" is not high, only reaching more than 200 million. Although there is no loss, the profit is very small. The main reason is word of mouth, and the polarization of fans is very serious. Fans who can't say it well feel that this film is very scattered, and there is no central idea throughout, which makes people a little bit incomprehensible. However, fans who said good things think that "The Grandmaster" is not about kung fu, but an extremely beautiful artistic conception.

The reason why Xiao Yunhai took this film out was because he felt that in this world, movie fans had a much stronger ability to appreciate movies than in previous lives, and they would definitely be able to understand the meaning inside.

As for the foreign market, Xiao Yunhai has no plans to release it.

Zhao Wanqing frowned and said, "Gong Er? Why is this name so dirty."

Xiao Yunhai scratched her Qiong nose,

He smiled and said, "Don't feel stupid. Let me tell you, if you can play this role well, you will be the best actress at major awards ceremonies in Asia and around the world. At least there is no problem with nominations."

Zhao Wanqing asked suspiciously, "Is it true or false?"

Xiao Yunhai said: "Of course it's true. My films are generally only selected for the Huaxia Golden Bottle Awards and the Academy Awards. The main reason is that I think the commercial elements of previous films are very strong, even if I go to Venice, Berlin, Cannes These artistic film festivals are probably the result of accompanying the Prince to study, so I just didn’t apply for it.”

"And this "Grandmaster" is different. Although there are many fierce fighting scenes in it, it is actually a complete literary film, which is very suitable for competing for these awards. However, it is not easy to act well, you You need to learn real Bagua Boxing, and other actors must also know real kung fu."

Zhao Wanqing smiled and said, "Husband, write the script quickly, I think you should start preparing now."

Xiao Yunhai said: "Okay, I'll write it tomorrow. Everything has already been formed in my mind, and I can get it done in less than two days."

That night, Xiao Yunhai called Luda and told him that the script for "Flower Thousand Bone" had been completed.

The next afternoon, Luda called back Xiao Yunhai, who was writing the script for "The Grandmaster."

"Yunhai, this book is really great. It should be regarded as a love drama in the cloak of Xianxia. It is much stronger than "The Legend of Swordsman", which caused a huge sensation at the beginning. It's just that there are a lot of special effects scenes in it. I'm afraid investment Not small."

Xiao Yunhai said with a smile: "Don't worry, Magic and Fantasy will fully support you. You don't need to ask about the money spent on special effects, just leave everything to me. Haha, senior brother, you are watching very quickly."

Luda said: "I only slept for two hours last night, can you be unhappy? Yunhai, if I want to make this scene into a masterpiece, I made a rough calculation. In addition to the special effects, at least 800 million Huaxia coins are needed."

Xiao Yunhai said: "Money is not an issue. We cannot discount the quality of TV dramas in the slightest. It is absolutely impossible to get by with that. Senior brother, who are you going to cast as the hero and heroine?"

Ruda said: "It has not yet been determined. I need to audition, a wide range of auditions. Everything is determined by the fit between the actor and the role. Even if she is an actor without any fame, as long as she is suitable for the role of Hua Qiangu, I will use."

Xiao Yunhai said: "I completely agree with your approach. This play has more than ten actors and actresses from our school joining us, so there will be no problems in publicity, only the quality is the key. So, senior brother, let's talk about it. , the pressure is still on you."

Ruda said confidently: "As long as I have your strong support, I will definitely be able to shoot this drama well."

Xiao Yunhai said: "Then you can prepare now. For the question of funds, you can go directly to the finance department of Hanhai Company. I have already told them before."

Ruda said: "Okay."

Xiao Yunhai was very reassured about Luda's ability. After "Flower Thousand Bone" was handed over to him, Xiao Yunhai didn't ask any more questions.

Three days later, the revised script of "The Grand Master" was released.

Zhao Wanqing couldn't wait to read it carefully from beginning to end, and was immediately attracted by Mr. Gong Er's life inside. At the end, even tears could not help flowing out.

Xiao Yunhai hurriedly stepped forward to wipe her, and said, "Wife, are you all right? Is it so pretty?"

Zhao Wanqing sighed and said, "This Mr. Gong Er is really pitiful. He clearly loves Ye Wen deeply in his heart, but he has let the rules of martial arts trap him for the rest of his life, why bother."

Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "This is what makes people in martial arts so cute. They must follow their word, and promise a thousand dollars. How about it? Are you interested in this role?"

"Of course." Zhao Wanqing rolled her eyes at him and said angrily, "If you dare to give this role to others, I will give it to you endlessly."

Xiao Yunhai said: "But I want to tell you in advance that it is not an easy thing to play Gong Er well, at least you have to really master the essence of Bagua before the filming starts. This is a promotion of Chinese Kung Fu. I don’t want to be criticized by experts. Fortunately, you have been practicing the health boxing that your mother taught you, so you have a certain foundation. I will go to Brother Luo to ask a female martial artist to teach you at home for half a year. The time should be about the same, how?"

Zhao Wanqing nodded and said, "Okay."

Xiao Yunhai called Luo Tianxiong and explained the matter.

The next morning, the female martial artist arrived, a middle-aged woman in her thirties with a flexible body.

What kind of eyes Xiao Yunhai had, just by looking at her walking pace, he knew that this was a person with real kung fu, at least he had practiced to the point of entering a room.

After Luo Tianxiong won the Oscar for Best Action Design, the entire Luo family became the leader of the action team in the Huaxia entertainment industry. Many people who practiced kung fu but could not find a way out came to join him.

Luo Tianxiong is always open to anyone who comes. The Luo family class, which originally consisted of dozens of people, has now grown to 200 people, and all of them have real kung fu, and there are all kinds of boxing.

This middle-aged woman is a leader in gossip boxing.

Xiao Yunhai asked her to teach Zhao Wanqing eight-diagram boxing for half a year, four hours a day and a monthly salary of 50,000 yuan. If Zhao Wanqing could finally learn Xiao Yunhai's satisfaction, she would be rewarded with a one-time reward of 100,000 yuan.

When the middle-aged woman heard that she might get 400,000 in half a year, her eyes lit up, and she assured Xiao Yunhai that she would definitely teach Zhao Wanqing to practice boxing well, at least to the point where three or four big men couldn't get in.

Xiao Yunhai was very satisfied, and rented a big house not far from the villa for her to live in, so that she could come here every day.

In this way, Zhao Wanqing began to learn Baguaquan while taking care of her children.

I don't know if it was because she was interested in Bagua Boxing, or because of the role of Mr. Gong Er, Zhao Wanqing practiced very hard. No matter how hard or tired, she gritted her teeth and said nothing, showing great perseverance.

This surprised Xiao Yunhai, but also felt a little admiration for his wife's tenacity.

As time passed, the good news came one after the other.

Teacher Yao Wenyuan's kidney transplant operation was quite successful, probably due to the high matching index. The newly transplanted kidney did not have any rejection from the body, and the recovery speed was much faster than Dr. Li's estimate, claiming that this was the most successful operation he had ever performed. . As long as you usually pay attention, there should be no problems in twenty years.

Xiao Yunhai was very happy and directly gave Dr. Li a million big red envelopes. Then, according to the previous agreement, he donated one billion Huaxia coins to the Huaxia Health Bureau.

However, he also put forward conditions, that is, 500 million of them should be used to help patients from poor families who cannot afford medicines.

Naturally, the Health Bureau would not refuse. It contacted the Red Cross and assigned a special person to take charge of this matter, which helped many people.

The second good news is that after more than a month of hard work in the English version of the first "Battle of Chibi", Wu Zixu has finally completed it. I asked more than 30 employees of Xiao Yunhai to read it, and they all said that it was very exciting, and there was no problem of understanding.

Now that the Yanhuang cinema chain all over the world has started operation, Xiao Yunhai contacted Yu Hai and plans to release it in Europe, South America and other places on June 28. As for North America, of course, Xiao Yunhai’s own cinema chain is chosen.

Although the box office share of the theater chain in the first week has dropped to 43%, Xiao Yunhai can still make a lot of money compared to the Yanhuang theater chain, which has no shares at all.

The third piece of good news is that the second "Transformers" comic is selling well in Europe and the United States. In less than a month, it has sold 40 million copies. The third Harry Potter book was even tougher, selling 56 million copies. At the same time, their cartoons and movies have also entered into intense production.

It can be said that Xiao Yunhai is proud of the spring breeze these days.
