0161 [Turn on and worship God]

After crazy indulging in lust, Wan Xiaohu sent away the reluctant Quan Zhixian and returned to his hometown with his bag.

Now that I have money, I naturally buy a house and a car for my parents. The final result was that they were unwilling to leave Jiangdong. So Wan Xiaohu spent 2 million to buy two houses in the highest-end community in Jiangdong, and then went to the car shop to buy a BMW for his father Wancishan to drive, and the other Mercedes-Benz S600 was a car that Wan Xiaohu was planning to be a car when he came back.

My sister Wan Xiaolan is about to take the junior high school entrance exam this year, and she has always had good grades and no problem taking the key middle school. Even if there is a problem, it is also a small matter for Wan Xiaohu to spend some money to find some connections. It just so happens that the house in Jiangdong needs to be decorated, Wancishan is supervising the city, and Li Cuiping takes care of Wan Xiaolan in the town.

Then Wan Xiaohu went to Jiangdong's computer college and called out his younger brother Wan Xiaobin.

"I originally wanted you to finish the three-year college degree in Jiangdong, but I heard from my parents that you skip classes here every day, right? It's not good to continue like this. I think about it. In the second half of the year, I'll transfer your relationship to Beijing, or learn the Internet. Your brother has some ideas and will ask you to do it for me in the future."

When the father and son fight, the brothers fight against tigers, Wan Xiaohu still had great expectations for Wan Xiaobin. In the future, the company became larger and larger, and he had no time to watch every day. There were not many trustworthy people supporting the company, so he was really worried.

"I'm going to the capital?"

"Yes, you'll be honest for a few days now, and I'll take you there next time I'll go home."

Arranged everything at home, and on June 10, Wan Xiaohu set out to Hong Kong.

This time, I came here no longer just staying, but staying for a long time.

...

On Tuesday, June 12, 2001, dozens of staff from Hong Kong Universal Film Company and the crew of "Infernal Affairs" gathered in the conference room and held a meeting. Because it was a meeting of staff, naturally, actors such as Liu Dehua did not come, and there were only behind the scenes.

Wan Xiaohu sat at the top of the conference room, holding a list of staff in his hand.

He is Crossing Jianglong and crossing the river to film. In addition to the investment and director, he relies on the help of Universal Film Company to arrange everything else, including preparing the crew. The list is very detailed, and Wan Xiaohu also watches it carefully.

Producer: Lin Xiaoming, Wan Xiaohu.

Director: Wan Xiaohu.

Assistant Director: Mai Zhaohui.

Director Assistant: Lu Jianqing.

Screenwriters: Wan Xiaohu, Mai Zhaohui, Zhuang Wenqiang.

Photographer: Lai Yaohui, Kan Moto Ryo.

Clothing design: Li Bijun.

Movement guidance: Lindian.

Recorder, makeup artist...

As the producer and also the boss of the Universal World, Lin Xiaoming naturally became the master and began to introduce: "Everyone is gathered together. Let me introduce you first. This is the investor and director of "Infernal Affairs". Mr. Wan Xiaohu. Speaking of the name Wan Xiaohu, I believe everyone here has heard of it. The most outstanding young director in the mainland and the most outstanding Chinese film industry. He has directed three movies "Waiting Alone", "Butterfly Effect" and "My Savage Girlfriend", all of which were sold well and were a great success."

As soon as Lin Xiaoming finished speaking, there was applause in the conference room.

Amid the applause, Wan Xiaohu smiled and nodded to everyone.

"I won't introduce the two screenwriters Mai Zhaohui and Zhuang Wenqiang. Before you came here, you should have communicated with them. Director assistant Lu Jianqing, a young man, has worked as an assistant director and deputy director of many movies. Back then, Stephen Chow's "The King of Comedy" was the assistant director, and he must be able to do a good job in serving Director Wan." Lin Xiaoming walked over and patted a young man wearing glasses on the shoulder.

Wan Xiaohu seemed to have heard of this person, and seemed to be the director of "Cold War".

"Hello, Director Wan, hello everyone, please take care of me." Lu Jianqing looked quite literary, but he seemed very experienced in speaking.

After introducing Lu Jianqing, Lin Xiaoming walked to a beautiful woman and said with a smile: "Although this beauty is young and beautiful, she has been the best stylist at the Golden Horse Awards and one Golden Horse Awards. She is the costume stylist of "The World of Wind and Clouds", "Chinese Heroes", and "The Legend of Shushan".

"Hello, Director Wan, it's my first collaboration. If there are any shortcomings, please ask Lord Wan to have a lot of them." Li Bijun wore large earrings, had a good figure, and his appearance was not inferior to many female stars. He smiled sweetly.

Wan Xiaohu nodded: "It's the first time I'm here in Hong Kong. If you have any sorry places, please forgive me."

Then there are photographers Lai Yaohui and Kwan Benliang, both young photographers who have emerged in Hong Kong in recent years and have gained fame in the future.

Compared with the previous few who are younger and not experienced, Lin Dian is very good at action coaching. The direct disciple of the famous Hong Kong director Xu Xiaoming has worked hard in the martial arts industry for more than 20 years. "Young and Dangerous", "The King Kong of Changes", and "The World of the World" are all his masterpieces.

Then the remaining staff were briefly introduced, and the meeting officially began.

Wan Xiaohu is now carrying the trend of "My Savage Girlfriend" in Asia, and has developed a domineering spirit. He puts his hands casually on the table and said, "In the future, everyone will eat in the same pot. Since it is a cooperation, they will have to be a rope, so I will not be polite to everyone. I am Wan Xiaohu, who is like me, I believe that I will say a hundred words now, and I will not know you more clearly in the future when I cooperate for a few days."

After a pause, Wan Xiaohu continued: "Since we came into contact with Mai Zhaohui last year, we started planning "Infernal Affairs". It took almost a year. If we included the time for Mai Zhaohui and Zhuang Wenqiang to prepare the script, it would be even longer. The investment in this film is to be set to be HK$2,000 A-level production, not a small fuss, let me tell you about my plan."

"During the shooting, I fully respect my efforts, but when necessary, I must focus on my words. All details must be taken seriously. Even if a light or a small piece of paper makes a mistake, or even a flawed pitch, it must be pushed back and forth. Therefore, you must be careful and careful."

"I have told Producer Lin that the amount of film used for the three movies is used to prepare, that is, the time I plan to shoot is definitely several times that of a movie you used to shoot. It is normal to start over and over, work overtime. Once I am a man, I have a bad temper. Here, I will apologize to you first, hoping to ignore my flaws when working."

"...Okay, I have so many requests. You can also speak freely and say anything. If you don't say it now, I can't guarantee that it will work even if you say it later."

As a bridge dragon, you cannot be weak. Wan Xiaohu must stand up his own arsenal, otherwise his work will be very unfavorable in the future. After all, he is too young and a mainland director. Although his grades are very good, he cannot convince the public. Therefore, he will be the first to speak out ugly words first.

However, it is obvious that Wan Xiaohu was too worried. Although he was a young man, his identity was clearly placed on the stage, and he was the only investor in "Infernal Affairs".

Perhaps these Hong Kong staff will look down on directors from mainland China, but they can still tell who is the parents of food and clothing.

He discussed freely how to cooperate in the future.

It was lunch time. After dinner, Wan Xiaohu and Mai Zhaohui, Zhuang Wenqiang and Lu Jianqing outlined the storyboard scripts, compared the schedules of several actors, and arranged the shooting process. Unlike the three movies he had filmed before, Liu Dehua, Liang Chaowei and others were all busy people. They could not follow Wan Xiaohu's idea, and they would shoot as soon as they were filmed.

Instead, we must coordinate with them to complete the shooting during the gap.

Busy preparations, time is fast.

It was June 17th in a blink of an eye. In front of the Hong Kong Royal Fort Building, an altar, red cloth, incense candles, roasted suckling pigs and other things were placed. Journalists from all sides gathered in front of the building, chatting from time to time, waiting for the show to begin.

It was around nine o'clock, and I don't know who shouted: "Here I'm out."

The reporters suddenly became turbulent. The photographer carried the flag camera, and the reporter took out the microphone, ready to go. Many young people who were originally sitting outside also stood up and raised the various signs in their hands, some said "William, we love you", some said "Always support Weizai", and some said "I wish the "Infernal Affairs" a great sale", which was all the same.

Crack, Crack, the camera flashes.

A team of security guards from the Royal Fort Building quickly dispatched and surrounded a passage between the exit of the building and the altar.

Soon, a row of people came out in anticipation.

The first person was wearing sunglasses and developed the Sanqi style. Since his hair covered his ears, he didn't know that he thought he was a young version of Stephen Chow, who was the most popular young director Wan Xiaohu.

On the left of Wan Xiaohu are the handsome Liu Dehua and Zeng Zhiwei, on the right are the handsome Liang Chaowei, and on the right are the queen of the queen Kelly Chen. There are a few behind, namely Mai Zhaohui, Zhuang Wenqiang, Anthony Wong and others.

"Andai, Andy Lau, we love you!"

"Weizai, Weizai, come on!"

“Kelly, you are the best.”

Fans holding the signs in hand cheered wildly and were enthusiastic. They were much more enthusiastic than the opening ceremony of "Crazy Stone", which was enough to show the charm of these old Hong Kong superstars.

The reporters were not willing to fall behind, and stretched out the microphone and shouted loudly: "Mr. Liu Dehua, there is news that you have concerns about accepting the role in "Infernal Affairs". Is it a villain? Will this hurt your career image?"

"Liang Chaowei, Liang Chaowei, just won the Best Actor Award in the Academy Awards, joined "Infernal Affairs" with Andy Lau. Can you tell me why you chose this drama? Who is the protagonist or Liu Dehua?"

"Director Wan, Director Wan, do you think a movie made by a mainland director can be called a Hong Kong film?"

"Liu Dehua, did you and Liang Chaowei join "Infernal Affairs" for money?"

"Mr. Zeng Zhiwei, can you..."

"Andy Wong, it is said that you can play a positive role this time. Can you control it? Will you fail?"

"Kelly Chen, can you tell us what kind of role you play?"

During the shouts of fans and the inquiries of reporters, Wan Xiaohu and his men looked as usual, and walked to the altar with laughter and laughter, and then burned incense to worship the gods. The tradition of filming in Hong Kong is to worship the gods before the filming is to pray for the crew to make the filming smoothly. Wan Xiaohu himself was not interested in superstition, but he also followed the customs. He worshipped in Korea, let alone here.

After praying, we started to cut the roasted suckling pig for the fans and reporters on the scene. Wan Xiaohu also got a piece of pork trotter and ate it with a smile. The scene was very lively.
