Wang Ben put his hands on the desk, leaned forward slightly, frowned, looked at Hong Jinbao with a serious face, and said in a slow but tight voice: "San Mao, "New Dragon Gate Inn" is In a period martial arts film, there are scenes of dancing with swords and riding horses. We need to be very careful about safety, safety, and safety! Do you understand?
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Although Wang Ben is usually laughing and joking and looking like he's hanging on a thread, he's always so generous and kind to everyone. However, the momentum of his leaning down made Hong Jinbao feel a little tight on his scalp, as if he was being stared at by a liger, as if Wang Ben would pounce on him in an instant and take his life.
Hong Jinbao suddenly became frightened, and his hands and feet seemed to be shaking uncontrollably.
"Boss, I, I understand."
This is not something Wang Ben is making a fuss about, it is really a last resort! If you think about it, these people, who have almost no martial arts foundation and no riding skills, are suspended by thin wires, or are lifted up and down, or are galloped on horses It is really too dangerous. Wia is better, after all, it has some insurance. If a horse falls or the horse is frightened while filming a circus, it will be difficult to handle.
In his last life, Wang Ben often saw news on the Internet about actors falling off or frightening their horses while filming. For example, Andy Lau lost control of his horse when he was filming "A Letter of Entitlement" and almost fell into a valley to his death; Tang Guoqiang broke his ribs while filming "Yan Zhenqing"; and the charming Lin Zilin was almost trampled by a horse and her breasts exploded when filming a commercial
Wang Ben had to seriously remind Hong Jinbao.
Looking at Hong Jinbao's nervous look, Wang Ben also knew that his attitude was serious. He soothed his face, relaxed his bent body, and said calmly: "Sanmao, after the main actors of "New Dragon Inn" are found, in order to save filming time in the United States, I will train them here for a while. Time. Mainly training in Diao Wei Ya, sword martial arts, and horse riding. By the way, do our brothers in the Wang family class know how to ride a horse?"
Without the pressure of Wang Ben¡¯s momentum, Hong Jinbao spoke much more eloquently.
"Boss, don't worry about this. Our brothers are all talented people. I can't say that they all have superb riding skills, but they are also very agile on horses."
Wang Ben tapped his index finger on the table, feeling slightly proud. When he first chose this group of dragon and tiger warriors, Wang Ben was very selective. People with little ability can't get into Wang's class.
Wang Ben smiled and said: "Okay! I'm relieved now. This is the script. You can take it back and study it first. This time, your senior brothers and all the brothers from the Wang family will have to participate in the performance. Among them, Yuan Hua and Cheng Long have the most important roles. Be more serious You asked them to study the script thoroughly. After all, I recruited you brothers myself. Don't embarrass me then!"
At this time, Hong Jinbao was just a little-known martial artist. He doesn't have the momentum of a big brother in the film industry in later generations. He and his senior brothers are now counting on Wang Ben's support. Now Hong Jinbao heard that his brothers had performed in "New Dragon Inn". Hong Jinbao excitedly touched his long hair and said gratefully: "Thank you, boss! Thank you boss for your support! I will definitely let them work hard. We will definitely It won¡¯t disgrace the boss!¡±
Wang Ben smiled, waved his hand, and said with a smile: "Okay, Sanmao. I have nothing else to do here, so you can go back first! After you go back, remember to hurry up and train!"
"Jingle Bell¡¡"
As soon as Hong Jinbao said goodbye and left the office, the phone on Wang Ben's desk rang.
Wang Ben picked up the phone and answered it. Shao Yifu's familiar voice came from the phone.
"Hey! Uncle Six. What do you want from me? What? Can you please have lunch? OK, OK! Uncle Six is ??treating you to a treat. I will definitely be there! OK, OK! The Peninsula Hotel, right! I'll be here right away."
Put down the phone. Wang Ben frowned and touched his stubbled chin and said to himself: "How could Shao Yifu invite me to dinner for no reason? There must be something going on! As the saying goes: If you show courtesy for nothing, you are either committing adultery or stealing!"
Wang Ben shouted to He Qinglian who was sitting outside: "Miss He, come in!"
He Qinglian walked into the office with gentle steps, and said with a face like an iceberg: "Boss, what can I do?"
Wang Ben picked up a stack of scripts on his desk and said: "Manager Chen and the others will come to me in a while. Then you give them the scripts and documents. I have marked the names on it. You can give it to whoever comes over." . In addition, I have something to go out for. The time of my return is not yet certain. If anyone comes to see me, tell them the situation If there is anything important, please call me."
He Qinglian lowered his head. He replied coolly: "Okay, boss."
Wang Ben put on his coat and walked out the door. When he passed by He Qinglian, he looked at her coldlyHe couldn't help but put his arms around her shoulders and said with a smile: "Miss He, how are you celebrating the New Year?"
He Qinglian¡¯s delicate body suddenly stiffened as if struck by an arrow. Her delicate dimples were instantly dyed with a layer of rouge, from her delicate cheeks to her jade neck, and her pink ears were also bright red. He Qinglian's stammering voice was as thin as a gnat, "Thank you, thank you, thank you boss for caring. It's okay!"
Wang Ben patted He Qinglian on the shoulder and said seriously: "Well, you have to work hard in the new year! I will not treat you badly."
Wang Ben did not treat He Qinglian badly. Although Wang Ben asked He Qinglian to copy novel manuscripts all day long ago, the red envelope given to He Qinglian at the end of the year was very generous. The red envelope Wang Bi gave to He Qinglian was the same as those signed by Phantom International. It contained 9,999 Hong Kong dollars.
It seems that beauties always take advantage!

On the way to the Peninsula Hotel.
Zhong Zhen pouted her little cherry mouth and looked at Wang Ben with wide eyes, and said coquettishly: "Ahu, I'm inviting you to dinner, and besides, I don't know this person. What do you want to bring me here for?"
Wang Ben took advantage of Zhong Zhen not paying attention and quickly kissed Zhong Zhen on her pouted mouth, which made Zhong Zhen jealous.
"It's almost lunch time, why don't I leave you alone in the company? Besides, you are my wife! Who will I take if I don't take you?"
Zhong Zhen¡¯s pretty face turned red, she stretched out her jade hand and punched Wang Ben on the shoulder angrily, and said with a smile: ¡°I hate it! Don¡¯t be naughty, just concentrate on driving! Remember not to be distracted when driving in the future, be careful of a car accident!¡±
Wang Ben smiled and said: "Okay, okay! I will definitely listen to what my wife says."
Zhong Zhen asked curiously: "Who invited you to dinner today? Is it appropriate for me to dress like this? It won't embarrass you, right?" Then he looked at the mirror in the car and began to straighten his clothes and hair.
This was the first time Zhong Zhen went out to eat with Wang Ben, and she was afraid that she would be embarrassed by not wearing the right clothes.
Today Zhong Zhen is dressed very beautifully. She wore her hair in a high bun, light makeup, and two pearl earrings hanging from her ears. There is a gold necklace hanging around her neck; she is wearing a beige woolen coat and a pair of black high heels. His whole body exudes a dignified and noble aura.
Wang Ben laughed loudly and said: "Hahaha Wife, you are naturally beautiful, and the clothes are just to set it off. You look beautiful no matter what you wear! As for who invited me to dinner today, you will definitely know it when I tell you. This person is Shao Yifu Shao Tycoon!"
Zhong Zhen covered her mouth and said in surprise: "Shao Yifu?!"
Zhong Zhen has been in Xiangjiang for so long, how come she hasn¡¯t heard of Shao Yifu¡¯s name? The names of Shao Yifu and Shaw Brothers are well known throughout Hong Kong. Even though she usually doesn't care about Shao Yifu, Zhong Zhen has been collecting news about Wang Ben. When watching the news about Wang Ben, you will always see news about Shao Yifu. Because most of the time, Wang Ben's name is always connected with Shao Yifu.
Wang Ben raised his eyebrows and said with a confident smile: "Yes. Shao Yifu! However, you don't need to be nervous. Your husband and I will definitely become a more powerful person than Shao Yifu in the future!"
The Kung Fu car that was talking arrived at the Peninsula Hotel.
Wang Ben handed the car to the parking boy, took Zhong Zhen¡¯s arm and walked proudly into the door of the Peninsula Hotel. Wang Ben directly reported Shao Yifu's name, and a waiter led them to Shao Yifu's private room.
Pushing open the door of the private room, Wang Bilong walked in at a snail's pace and laughed loudly: "Sixth uncle and six aunties, happy new year and good luck in getting rich! I've bothered you to wait! I'm so sorry!"
Shao Yifu and Fang Yihua were already sitting in the private room. As soon as Shao Yifu saw Wang Ben enter the door, he fired at Wang Ben, "Ahu, I'm not talking about you. You didn't come to my house to get together during the Chinese New Year. Do you think it's all over with just a phone call? Don't you Can¡¯t you find Uncle Six¡¯s house?¡±
Wang Ben opened the seat for Zhong Zhen to sit down, and then explained to Shao Yifu: "I can't help it, Uncle Liu. It's not that I don't want to go to Uncle Liu's house to pay New Year's greetings, but I really have something to do and I can't get away. I bought a new one." It¡¯s a house. I¡¯ve been busy moving until New Year¡¯s Eve! I was busy until yesterday.¡±
Shao Yifu asked with a smile: "Moving? Where have you moved?"
Wang Ben casually told Shao Yifu the address. Upon hearing this, Shao Yifu exclaimed: "It turns out to be that super wooden house! Good boy, who bought that villa? It turned out to be you! Tell me how much you spent, and I think it's a good deal."
Wang Ben proudly stretched out his two fingers and shook them, and said with a smile: "It's less than 20 million Hong Kong dollars! How about it. Is it okay?"
Shao Yifu exclaimed, "It's not just a good deal, it's a huge advantage! We wanted to buy it originally. But?That ghost guy is so poor that he actually wants 30 million! Thirty million Hong Kong dollars! It¡¯s really¡¡±
Fang Yihua interrupted their conversation and asked with a smile: "Ahu, who is this beautiful woman next to you?"
Wang Ben took Zhong Zhen's hand and said proudly: "Sixth Uncle and Sixth Aunt, I only remembered chatting with you, but I forgot to introduce you. This is Zhong Zhen, my wife, my wife! Please invite Uncle Six in the future Take care of Aunt Six! Zhong Zhen, this is Shao Yifu, who is famous in the Hong Kong Film Industry. You can just call him Uncle Six. This is Uncle Six's wife, Aunt Six"
Zhong Zhen stood up with a blushing face and shouted gracefully: "Hello, Uncle Six and Aunt Six!"
Fang Yihua took Zhong Zhen's hand and praised: "Zhong Zhen, you have a nice name and an even more beautiful person! Come on, come on! Zhong Zhen, come and sit next to me. Let's talk. Don't worry about their men's affairs."
Wang Ben and Shao Yifu ignored Fang Yihua and Zhong Zhen and chatted alone. While they were talking, the food and drinks were served. The four of them chatted while eating.
Shao Yifu said kindly: "Ahu, you see that "Eight Star Announcement" was released so enthusiastically and the attendance rate is so high. It can be seen that this movie is going to be a big hit at the box office!"
Wang Ben smiled and said: "Uncle Six, the box office has exceeded 10 million now, right?"
Shao Yifu put down his chopsticks, looked at Wang Ben with a face full of chrysanthemums, nodded and said: "As of yesterday, it had been screened for twenty days. The box office in twenty days exceeded 10 million. Ahu, "Eight Star Announcement" broke again Hong Kong movie box office record! I estimate it will reach 14 to 5 million by the time it is released!"
This number is not beyond Wang Ben¡¯s expectations and is considered normal.
The huge popularity of "Fist of Fury" and "Half a Category" were supported in the past. Later, Phantom International and Shaw Brothers did so much promotion, and the Lunar New Year period is so good, plus the popularity of "The Good News" Top quality, it would be weird if the movie didn't become a hit again!
"However, Xiangjiang's population is only that small, and ticket prices have not increased. Therefore, the market is so big, and there is not much room for growth no matter how much we explore." Compared to Xiangjiang, Wang Ben cares more about overseas markets. Overseas markets are the main source of income for Hong Kong films.
Wang Ben picked up a pair of shrimps with chopsticks and tasted them happily. While eating the tender and crispy shrimp, he asked: "Uncle Six. How is the overseas box office situation?"
Shao Yifu smiled and said: "That goes without saying, of course! I think this time it will definitely break the overseas box office of "Fist of Fury"! It's just that I encountered a little trouble when it was released in Baodao. If I hadn't been there in Baodao It has something to do with it, hehehe It would be extremely difficult for "Eight Star Announcement" to be released on Baodao!"
¡°As he said that, Shao Yifu glanced at Wang Ben thoughtfully, ¡°Ahu, you should know why, right?¡±
¡°I know, how could Wang Ben not know. Needless to say, this is because of Chamoon's relationship in "The Annunciation of the Eight Stars". But how could Wang Ben say it out loud?
Wang Ben laughed and said, "Uncle Liu, eat the food! The food tastes really good today!"
Shao Yifu looked at Wang Ben's playful smile and pretended to be confused, and couldn't help but shook his head and said: "Ahu, please don't let this happen again next time."
Wang Ben was speechless.
After three rounds of wine and five dishes, Shao Yifu talked about the purpose of inviting Wang Ben to dinner today.
Shao Yifu said seriously: "Ahu, what do you think about me giving you a suggestion?"
Wang Ben smiled and said, "Uncle Liu, please tell me."
Shao Yifu touched the wine glass and said calmly: "I want to exchange 10% of Shaw Brothers' shares for 49% of Phantom International's shares"
"What? Cough cough cough"
Wang Ben had a mouthful of food stuck in his throat and couldn't help but hold on to the dining table and cough violently.
Zhong Zhen saw Wang Ben coughing so hard, and quickly patted Wang Ben's back to soothe Wang Ben's cough. Wang Ben coughed and thought about Shao Yifu's words. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature. The novels will be better and updated faster!
