Chapter 39 Great Wisdom Ruoyu

"Great Wisdom Ruoyu" is the most appropriate description for Big Brother. If he is not a fan of his movies, when it comes to big brother, many people will have the impression that this person is always saying wrong things.I felt the same way when I didn't know him well.Then everyone will think, is this person stupid?Later, I found out that he was not stupid, but that he was too quick-tempered to speak quickly. He often thought ten sentences in his head, but only five sentences came out. It's all too easy for people to take a story out of context. From his point of view, all his wisdom comes from running around the rivers and lakes since he was a child. He has seen a lot, learned a lot, and been deceived a lot, so he naturally understands a lot.In my opinion, in fact, many big and small things he has done reveal wisdom, but he is too lazy to say it, or he is not very good at it.

In April 2013, the eldest brother posted four consecutive Weibo posts, announcing that he had donated four ancient houses in his personal collection to Singapore.This incident caused an uproar and attracted numerous criticisms for a while.Some people attacked him why he donated the "national treasure" to foreign countries, some people questioned that he was not qualified to do so, and some even directly believed that his behavior was illegal.A month later, the eldest brother accepted an interview with Bai Yansong from CCTV's "News 1+1" and told the story.Since then, the debate on the matter has gradually died down.

Many people will also be sarcastic at first: "Look, you said the wrong thing again! You're so stupid." But when we talked about this in private, the eldest brother smiled and said, I posted those Weibo on purpose, so I just wanted to throw it out Try the response, if everyone will really discuss it, this matter will attract the attention of the society, then first of all, all the places where these old buildings are still preserved, the local government and cultural relics protection department will pay attention to this matter.Secondly, the old houses left in my family will be paid attention to, and one day they will find a suitable place to be accepted.The reason why I came up with this method is mainly because I have talked with relevant domestic units several times in the past. They either agreed and then they didn’t follow up, or there are some kind of businessmen who want to use my name to develop real estate to make money. , If I don’t want to solve it, then these ancient houses that I have spent tens of millions of collections will slowly break down. After all, I can’t protect them forever by myself. I need to find a place for them after a hundred years.

After seeing this, maybe everyone will understand that he is not stupid. He knows exactly what he wants to do, but he is often too lazy to explain.Now it seems that the situation and result of the development of this matter are almost exactly the same as his expectation. "Zodiac" is a movie that the eldest brother has prepared for 7 years and shot for a full year, which shows how much he attaches importance to it.He also specially invited Mr. Huang Yongyu to come out of the mountain to inscribe the title of the film for him.The film was released in the Lunar New Year file in 2012, and finally achieved a box office of 912 million yuan in mainland China.Just a few months after the film was released, in April 2013, the French Pinault family announced that they would return the rabbit and rat heads to China.

Francois Pinault (Francois Pinault) ranks fifth in the French rich list, with assets of more than 7 billion US dollars. The famous luxury brand Gucci Group belongs to him. He loves art collections and owns more than 2,000 pieces of art. The largest shareholder of the auction house.The two copper heads they announced to donate this time were auctioned in Paris for 200 million yuan in 2009, which aroused strong condemnation from the international community.Now the Pino family has bought two animal heads from the owners and announced that they will donate them back to China free of charge. In July 2013, my eldest brother had a rich Singaporean friend who just met with the boss of Gucci and mentioned the return of the two animal heads. The other party told him that the reason why Pinault wanted to send the two bronze heads back to China was because of He saw "Zodiac" on his first flight and it made him decide to do it.

The reason why I want to shoot "Zodiac" is the auction of the bronze heads of the twelve zodiac signs in Yuanmingyuan.During the long process of making this movie, my eldest brother also thought about the possibility that because of his movie, some people would be affected, and the national treasure would eventually return to China.He always thought it was just a good wish, but he didn't expect it to become a reality one day. The outside world did not praise him for these two things that happened in 2013, nor did he repeatedly emphasize what he had done.With the occupational disease of 7 years of publicity work, I reflexively thought that if these things were put on other artists, they would probably have issued N press releases and made N interviews... But for him, this is just two. A very happy thing, that's all.

Over the years, Big Brother has his own unique philosophy of life.He likes to make friends from all walks of life and learn different things from top people.He has been doing charity for many years. His foundation is probably the only organization in the world that does not charge any management fees, and all operating costs are borne by himself.When he was young, he skillfully dealt with the underworld and experienced many thrilling moments.Unlike many rich people and big stars, he has never been superstitious, and he doesn't go to any Feng Shui or go to any master. Here, let us pull back the time to more than 40 years ago to see the innate wisdom of this "stupid man".At that time, the eldest brother was just a small martial artist on the set, and the things he did were so insignificant.

After leaving Master's Drama Academy, the eldest brother hangs out on the set every day, doing odd jobs with martial arts instructors.All of them acted in the kind of human flesh background where the face could not be seen, or slapped someone as a thief, or was kicked away by the protagonist in a group of people.I have nothing to do during the day, so I just hang out on the set and observe how everyone is working. Later, I gradually understand that there is so much knowledge in filming a scene.Just talk about "Action", let's divide it into several stages: "Startup", "Rolling" and "Start".At that time, people often had to act as dead bodies on the set. Of course, dead bodies could not move, but because many people were inexperienced, the director started to hold their breath as soon as the director called the switch on. With knives and swords inserted, and the ground shaking together, the director naturally became furious.Ever since I learned what Action is all about, my eldest brother waits until the moment when he really "starts" before holding his breath, and then he will hold on to it even if he dies. , that person died well!

Once on a certain set, the director wanted to shoot two heroes fighting in the rain, and a group of dead bodies were scattered in the background, all with knives stuck in their bodies.It was very cold that day, and all the extras were soaked in the water. Many people couldn't hold their breath, and because of the cold, they saw knives moving up and down all over the floor.The director yelled: "Ka Ka Ka, don't move! You are already dead, understand?" Then, the director pointed to the elder brother and said to the assistant director, that one person, he died the best, so call him to continue working tomorrow!

Later, the eldest brother's reputation in the martial arts was slowly accumulated from "death is the best". After performing a lot of dead bodies with everyone, he naturally had the opportunity to do some scenes that showed his face.And that experience back then was later put into Stephen Chow's movie "The King of Comedy". In 1998, Big Brother and Zhou Xingchi started filming new movies at the same time, Big Brother filmed "Glass Bottle", and Xingye filmed "The King of Comedy".The sets of the two crews were very close to each other, so they agreed to help each other to make a cameo scene, so there was the scene that everyone saw in "The King of Comedy" later, "Jackie Chan" was called by the assistant director to direct before. "Hey, go over and die and show the director." "Director, how do you want me to die?" "Shot to death." He did it again. "That's right, change clothes!" "Thank you director." "Brother, where did you learn drama?" "I never studied drama." "Oh, you're a genius." "You can just use snacks Yes, have some snacks."

Back then, people often laughed at him. He was so serious about playing a dead body, he was so stupid.No matter how hard you try, aren't you still the little Wu Xing who only gets a few dollars a day?But maybe it is this kind of "great wisdom and foolishness" that made him come to where he is today step by step.Recalling the process of suddenly becoming rich from a poor boy, he also has "big brother qualities". "After "Laughing Fist" was released, I was actually very popular, but I didn't know it, and I was still getting thousands of dollars in salary. Suddenly one day He Guanchang came to me. That was the godfather of Hong Kong's film industry. Celebrities never fail to bow when they see him, and I have been filming with him since I was very young. At that time, he asked me to drink coffee on the second floor of the Miramar Hotel, and I went alone, without an agent or assistant. As soon as I sat down, He respectfully called 'Mr. He' first, and he handed me a check. When I took it over and was about to read it, the waiter came over, and Mr. He grabbed the check and stuffed it into my shirt pocket. I didn’t even see it clearly. I just heard him say, when you come to our company, we will build you. I said oh. At that time, what I thought was that there was a ‘1’ written on the check, and I didn’t know how many zeros were behind it. I remember that I ordered orange juice and he ordered coffee. I told Mr. He that I wanted to go to the toilet. When I got to the toilet, I quickly closed the door and took out the check. One, ten, one hundred , thousand, ten thousand, one hundred thousand... so many zeros! 100,000! I am so happy, I have one hundred thousand! When I got back to my seat, Mr. He said, go back and think about it. I said, okay. Back at the company, I told my colleague Chen Ziqiang that I just met He Guanchang. He said, how is it? I said he gave me a check for 100,000 yuan, and he took it over and said, "It's not 100,000 yuan." , this is 1 million. Wow... I was like, going crazy! "I went to talk to Director Luo Wei, the boss at the time. I just met Mr. He Guanchang. He said, how is it? I said they gave me 1 million. Director Luo said, what's the big deal? I'll open it for you now. Account, I will give you 20,000 first, and I will deposit 100,000 within two years, so that you will have 1 million in a few years. I said, oh, that’s fine. At that time, I felt that I had been working with Director Luo, and I was too embarrassed to leave The company, I took the check and went out, ran to the photocopy shop on the street to make a photocopy, kept it for myself as a souvenir, and gave a few to my friends as a souvenir. Some friends joked with me that I rely on You just spend it! Anyway, there is no contract, this check is Cash, even if they find out, they can’t sue you! I said, no, you can’t be like this. My father said that when you come out to do things, you have to tell Integrity. Back at the company, I asked Chen Ziqiang to return the check to He Guanchang, but I was too embarrassed to meet him. "Less than a week later, He Guanchang and the others came to me again. They said, we didn't mean to give you only 1 million, this 1 million is just your deposit. I said, huh? They said, yes, if you pay us Shoot, I will give you 2 million. I was stunned when I heard this number, but to cooperate with them, I have to terminate the contract with the original company, which made me feel very awkward, and I didn’t know who to discuss with My good friend Qin Xianglin chatted with Zeng Zhiwei. These two are my best friends. I don’t know how to talk about business. Later, they helped me negotiate the whole process. Qin Xianglin was the number one student back then, and his highest salary reached 100,000. Listen I said that I had a deposit of 1 million, and he was frightened to death. He said, "Damn it, 10 times mine! It's still a deposit!" I'm red for a moment, and I don't know what will happen tomorrow, so why don't you get what you want now. Let's do this, think about it tonight, you just think, how much money you want in this life is enough, tomorrow morning You answer me, I will try my best to help you achieve your goal. "I remember that I was still filming at the time, and I got up at 6 o'clock the next day to go to work, but I couldn't sleep at night. I was young at the time, so I didn't dare to think about it. I felt very flustered, but also very excited and exuberant. I got up and went to the bathroom, looked at the mirror there, and said to myself, I was given 2 million yuan... just thinking like this, I don't know how long I thought about it, and suddenly I heard the doorbell outside "ding dong" Suddenly, it was already 6 o'clock. As soon as I opened the door, Qin Xianglin said, "You didn't sleep? I said I thought about it all night. He said, tell me quickly, how much? I said, I only have 5 million yuan in my life." Enough. He said, OK! "As a result, the big star Qin Xianglin became my first 'agent' and took me to meet He Guanchang and the others. At the beginning, they paid me 2.4 million. At that time, I was filming in the morning shift at 6 o'clock every day. I was writing, directing, and starring myself. I was under a lot of pressure. I finally got my job at night, so I was dragged by them to talk at the Royal Hotel. After talking about it, I couldn’t stand it anymore. I felt very annoyed, so I just said okay, okay and signed Right. After the signing, no one pestered me, and it was easy after the work was over. After the signing, He Guanchang and the others flew back to Hong Kong. About two weeks later, I was still filming in Taichung, and one day I went back to the hotel , I found that the entire glass of the hotel was smashed, and Director Luo Wei asked someone to smash it. At that time, his wife came to scold me: "What did we do to you? Who the hell invited you back from Australia? At that time, no one I wanted you, we gave you a chance! You treated us like this!' I was ashamed and annoyed at the time, and kept crying, feeling that I was a dishonest person. After crying, I told He Guanchang and the others through Zeng Zhiwei, sue me, then I will return the 2.4 million to you, but I don't want it anymore. "It wasn't until I found out that director Luo Wei changed my contract from 100,000 to 10 million, and wanted me to pay 10 million in liquidated damages, that I found out that he was not what I imagined, so I left the company cruelly and went to talk to him. Cooperation with Golden Harvest. The first film "Junior and Brother" was paid 4.8 million yuan. You see, I am a fool who has a foolish blessing. I didn't ask for 1 million, and I didn't ask for 2.4 million. Later, I got 4.8 million. At that time, this was already It’s been a dream of mine all my life.” In my eyes, this big brother who is blessed with foolishness is a model of great wisdom and foolishness.
