After the crazy indulgence, Wan Xiaohu sent away the reluctant Quan Zhixian and returned to his hometown with his bag on his back. Now that I have money, it is natural to buy a house and a car for my parents. The final result of the discussion is that they are unwilling to leave Jiangdong. So Wan Xiaohu spent 2 million to buy two houses in the most upscale community in Jiangdong. He also went to a car dealer and bought a BMW for his father Wan Cishan to drive. The other was a Mercedes-Benz S600 for Wan Xiaohu to drive when he came back. . My younger sister, Wan Xiaolan, is in her third year of junior high school this year and is about to take the high school entrance examination. Moreover, she has always done very well and has no problem getting into key middle schools. Even if there is a problem, Wan Xiaohu spending some money to find some connections is just a small matter. It happened that Jiangdong's house needed to be renovated, Wan Cishan was supervising the work in the city, and Li Cuiping was taking care of Wan Xiaolan in the town. ¡°Then Wan Xiaohu went to the computer college in Jiangdong and called out his younger brother Wan Xiaobin. "Originally, I wanted you to finish three years of junior college in Jiangdong, but I heard from my parents that it's not good for you to skip classes here every day, right? I'll think about it and transfer the relationship to the capital for you in the second half of the year. , let¡¯s learn about the Internet, your brother has some ideas, and I want you to do it for me in the future.¡± ¡°Father and son go into battle, brothers fighting tigers, Wan Xiaohu still has great expectations for Wan Xiaobin. In the future, the company will get bigger and bigger, and he doesn't have time to watch it every day. There are only a few trustworthy people in the company to support it, so he is really worried. "I want to go to the capital?" "Yes, you hang out for a few days now, and I will take you there next time I go home." After arranging everything at home, Wan Xiaohu left for Hong Kong on June 10th . This time, it is no longer just a stay, but a long-term stay. ?¡ ?Tuesday, June 12, 2001. At Hong Kong Universal Film Company, dozens of staff from the "Infernal Affairs" crew gathered in the conference room and held a meeting. Because it was a staff meeting, naturally Andy Lau and other actors did not come, only the behind-the-scenes staff. Wan Xiaohu sat at the top of the conference room. Holding a staff list in hand. He is a cross-river dragon who crossed the river alone to make a film. Except for the investment and directing, he relied on the help of Universal Film Company for everything else, including the preparation of the crew. The list was very detailed, and Wan Xiaohu read it carefully. Producers: Lin Xiaoming, Wan Xiaohu. Director: Wan Xiaohu. Assistant director: Mak Siu-fai. Director Assistant: Lu Jianqing. Screenwriters: Wan Xiaohu, Mai Zhaohui, Zhuang Wenqiang. Photographers: Li Yaohui, Guan Benliang. Costume design: Li Bijun. Action director: Lin Dian. Recording engineer, makeup artist Lin Xiaoming serves as the producer. He is also the boss of Huanyu, so he naturally became the host and began to introduce: "Everyone is gathered, let me introduce you to everyone first. This is the investor and director of "Infernal Affairs". Mr. Wan Xiaohu. Speaking of Everyone here must have heard of the name Wan Xiaohu. He is the most outstanding young director in mainland China and the most outstanding Chinese film industry. He has directed three movies, "Waiting Alone", "The Butterfly Effect", and "My Sassy Girl". A hot seller, a big success." Lin Xiaoming finished his words. There was a burst of applause in the conference room. Amidst the applause, Wan Xiaohu leaned forward and smiled and nodded to everyone. "I won't introduce the two screenwriters, Mak Siu-fai and Zhuang Wenqiang. You should have exchanged scripts with them before you came here. The director's assistant, Lu Jianqing, is a young man who has worked as a director's assistant and deputy director in many movies. He was the director's assistant on Stephen Chow's "The King of Comedy", and he must be able to provide good service to Director Wan." Lin Xiaoming walked over. He patted a young man wearing glasses on the shoulder. It seems that this person Wan Xiaohu has heard of him, and he seems to be the future director of "Cold War". "Hello, Director Wan, hello everyone, please take care of me." Lu Jianqing looked relatively young, but when he spoke, he seemed very sophisticated. After introducing Lu Jianqing. Lin Xiaoming walked up to another beautiful woman and said with a smile: "Although this beauty is young and beautiful, she has already won two Golden Horse Awards and one Academy Award for Best Design Design. Miss Li Bijun, the costume stylist of "The Legend of Shushan" "Hello, Director Wan, this is my first time working together. If there are any deficiencies, please give me more." Li Bijun is wearing large earrings and has a good figure. , her appearance is not inferior to that of many female celebrities, and her smile is very sweet. Wan Xiaohu nodded: "This is also my first time in Hong Kong. Please forgive me if I apologize." Then came photographers Li Yaohui and Guan Benliang, both young photographers who have emerged in Hong Kong in the past few years. They will have won awards in the future. reputation. "Compared to the previous ones who are relatively young and have little experience, action director Lin Di'an has a lot of background A direct disciple of the famous Hong Kong director Tsui Siu-ming, he has been working in the martial arts industry for more than 20 years. "Young and Dangerous", "The Ultimate King", and "The King of Heroes" are all his masterpieces. Afterwards, the remaining staff were briefly introduced, and the meeting officially began. Wan Xiaohu is now popular in Asia with "My Sassy Girl" and has developed a domineering attitude. He put his hands casually on the table and said: "From now on, everyone will eat in the same pot. Since it is cooperation, we must I won¡¯t be polite to you anymore. I believe I can¡¯t understand more clearly what kind of person I, Wan Xiaohu, am than after working together for a few days.¡± : "It took almost a year since I contacted Mak Siu-fai last year to start planning "Infernal Affairs". If you include the time Mak Siu-fai and Zhuang Wenqiang spent preparing the script, it will be even longer. The investment for this film is yet to be determined. It¡¯s not a trivial matter for a HK$2,000 A-level production. Let me tell you my plan.¡± ¡°During the filming, I fully respect the collective efforts, but when necessary, all details must be taken seriously. Even if there is a mistake in a lighting, a small piece of paper, or even a defective pitch, you have to start over, so you have to be careful and careful. " "I have already told Producer Lin to prepare the film usage for three movies. , that is to say, the shooting time I plan to take is definitely several times that of your previous filming. It is normal to start over, shoot repeatedly, and work overtime. Once I get into the mood, I don¡¯t have a good temper here. , I would like to apologize to everyone first, and hope that you can ignore this shortcoming of mine when working. " "Okay, that's all I ask. You can say whatever you want. If you don't say it now, I will say it later. I can¡¯t guarantee that it will still work. ¡°As a dragon crossing the river, you can¡¯t be weak. Wan Xiaohu must stand up for himself, otherwise his future work will be very disadvantageous. After all, he is too young, and he is a mainland director. Although his performance is very good, his qualifications cannot convince the public. That¡¯s why he takes the lead. Let¡¯s talk about the ugly things first. But it was clear that Wan Xiaohu was overly worried. Although he was a young man, his identity was clearly stated on the stage. He was the only investor in "Infernal Affairs". ¡°Perhaps these Hong Kong staff will look down upon directors from the mainland, but they can still tell who is the one who provides the most basic necessities. We discussed freely how to cooperate in the future. It¡¯s suddenly lunch time. After the meal, Wan Xiaohu and Mai Zhaohui, Zhuang Wenqiang, and Lu Jianqing sketched the split-shot script and arranged the shooting process according to the schedules of several actors. Different from the three movies he shot before, Andy Lau, Tony Leung and others are very busy people and cannot shoot whenever Wan Xiaohu wants. Rather, we need to coordinate the schedule with them and complete the shooting during the gap. ?????????? Busy preparations, time flies quickly. June 17th arrived in the blink of an eye. In front of the Royal Fort Building in Hong Kong, altars, red cloths, incense candles, roasted suckling pig and other items were placed. Reporters from all walks of life gathered in front of the building, chatting from time to time, waiting for the show to begin. Around nine o'clock, someone shouted: "Come out." The reporters suddenly became commotion. The photographer carries the flag and camera, and the reporter takes out the microphone and is ready to go. Many young people who were sitting outside also stood up and held up various signs in their hands. Some wrote "We love you Wa Jai", some wrote "Always support Wa Jai", and some wrote "Blessings. "Infernal Affairs" is a big hit", to name a few. Click, click, the camera flashes. A team of security guards from the Royal Fort Building quickly dispatched and formed a passage between the building¡¯s exit and the altar. Soon, in the expectation of everyone, a row of people came out. There is one person in the lead, wearing sunglasses and a three-seven haircut. Since his hair covers his ears, from a distance, you might think he is a younger version of Mr. Xing. It is Wan Xiaohu, the young director who is currently in the limelight. On the left of Wan Xiaohu are the incomparably handsome Andy Lau and Eric Tsang, while on the right are the electric-eyed beauty Tony Leung and the queen Kelly Chen. There are a few others behind, namely Mai Zhaohui, Zhuang Wenqiang, Huang Qiusheng and others. "Wa Jai, Andy, we love you!" "Wei Jai, Wai Jai, come on!" "Kelly, you are the best." The fans holding signs in their hands cheered wildly and with high enthusiasm. It was much more enthusiastic than the original "Crazy Stone" opening ceremony, which was enough to show the charm of these veteran Hong Kong superstars. Not to be outdone, the reporters stretched out their microphones one after another and shouted loudly: "Mr. Liu Dehua, there is news that you have concerns about accepting the role in "Infernal Affairs". Is it a villain role? Will this hurt your career image?" "Liang Chaowei, Liang Chaowei, just??Won the Academy Award for Best Actor and joined Andy Lau in "Infernal Affairs". Can you tell us why you chose this film? Who is the protagonist, you or Andy Lau? " "Director Wan, Director Wan, do you think a film made by a mainland director can be called a Hong Kong film? " "Liu Dehua, did you and Tony Leung join "Infernal Affairs" for money? " "Mr. Zeng Zhiwei, can you" "Anthony Wong, it is said that you are playing a positive role this time. Can you handle it? Will your performance be a mess? " "Kelly Chen, can you tell us what kind of role you play? " Amidst the shouts of fans and the inquiries of reporters, Wan Xiaohu and others looked as usual, talking and laughing as they walked to the altar, then burned incense and worshiped the gods. The tradition of Hong Kong filmmaking is to worship gods and pray for peace before starting the movie. The filming went smoothly for the crew. Wan Xiaohu himself is not interested in superstition, but he does as the Romans do. He paid homage to everyone in Korea, not to mention here. After praying, he started cutting the roasted suckling pig and gave it to the fans and reporters at the scene. Wan Xiaohu also got a piece of pig. The hoof meat was eaten with laughter, and the scene was very lively.
