Siheyuan: Struggle Begins in the 1950s

With the help of senior leaders, Wang Jianjun's electrical appliance factory was approved very quickly.

He registered a new company as a branch in Hong Kong.

The business mainly includes consumer electrical appliances business, mainly kitchen appliances, refrigerators, washing machines, air conditioners and various small household appliances.

Although there are now some companies in China that produce home appliances.

But those companies mostly produce simple household appliances.

In this era when even electric fans were not yet popular.

Wang Jianjun's company is still very competitive.

You should know that all the electrical appliances produced in Hong Kong have been exported abroad.

The first batch of electrical appliances he wanted to produce were washing machines, refrigerators and color TVs.

Based on the first cooperation, Wang Jianjun simply outsourced the production of some parts to the steel rolling mill.

As for those electronic components that cannot be produced domestically, they are shipped from Hong Kong.

His new factory mainly does assembly.

Wang Jian's factory hadn't even been completed yet, but the top boss sent someone to ask how many workers he could recruit.

Wang Jian estimated the production capacity and finally released 3,000 job vacancies, and ensured that the salary and benefits were in line with the country's eight-level worker system.

This number made the big boss very happy.

In the end, he directly took away the quota of 2,000 people. Of course, the big boss also said that he would not arrange any rotten fish or shrimp to come in casually.

Those were educated youth who had returned from working in the countryside, and they were all intellectuals from higher education institutions.

At the very least, you must have a certain level of cultural education and technical skills.

As for the remaining 1,000 places, Wang Jianjun simply gave half of them to the street office as a favor.

The rest is external recruitment.

Although most of the positions are booked.

But Wang Jianjun is not worried that a bunch of second-generation rich people will come in the end.

Those second generations naturally have more promising jobs arranged by their parents.

Although the working class still has a certain status in this era.

But it's definitely not as good as before.

The most obvious thing is that the price of workstations in the market has dropped directly. In the past, a formal job could be sold for eight or nine hundred or even a thousand.

Now there are only seven or eight hundred left.

The new factory would take some time to build, and Wang Jianjun happened to have some free time, so Shen Chuxia found him and said that there was a movie that she wanted him to be in charge of.

"Shaolin Temple?"

Wang Jianjun thought about the time and realized it was already 81.

I have the impression that Shaolin Temple was filmed in 80 and took two years to complete. It can be considered a big-budget movie of that era.

I don't know what happened that caused the delay.

"Mr. Liao, the director of the Hong Kong Office, found us. He originally wanted to ask the three film companies, Great Wall, Phoenix, and New Union, to shoot the film, but after watching the films of Chen Long and Bruce Lee, he wanted us to give it a try. You decide if you want to shoot the film. I heard that we will be shooting on location in the inland."

Wang Jianjun also became interested after hearing the news.

"We must accept it! This is a great opportunity for Xingchen Pictures to enter the domestic market."

Wang Jianjun didn't expect that the Hong Kong Office would give him the task of making this movie.

In the original history.

The movie Shaolin Temple was specially produced by the director of the Hong Kong Office and commissioned by Great Wall and Phoenix Film Studios to support patriotic film companies.

At the beginning, it was Xinlian Pictures that took on this task first.

It’s just that Xinlian Pictures didn’t live up to expectations and the results were not ideal.

Later, it was remade by Great Wall Films.

And Great Wall Pictures did not disappoint everyone and went against all odds to cast the film in inland areas.

As a result, he met the Kung Fu Emperor Jet Li.

At that time, Hong Kong people were not fond of mainland movies.

Just like Hollywood looks down on Chinese movies.

But the success of Shaolin Temple directly slapped those people in the face.

Wang Jianjun couldn't help but sigh.

Shaolin Temple, the memory of a generation.

In that era, movie tickets cost only one cent, but the total box office of a movie could reach hundreds of millions.

Even Bruce Lee didn't have such appeal at the beginning.

Wang Jianjun decided that he must get this movie.

It will be released during the promotion of this movie.

You can also advertise your company's products.

Wang Jianjun immediately asked Shen Chuxia to reply to the Hong Kong Office and tell them that he had taken on the film.

As for how the movie will be shot, Wang Jianjun is not worried at all.

He can bring his team from Hong Kong to the mainland to shoot.

The plot of the movie can be copied directly from the original one.

The original plot is still relevant even in later times.

Now that he is shooting this movie himself, Wang Jianjun is confident that this movie will be more successful than his previous life.

Wang Jianjun immediately returned to Hong Kong and met with Liao Chengzhi, director of the Hong Kong Office, and directly expressed his willingness to invest 500 million to make this film.

When he heard about the five million investment, Liao Chengzhi's hands couldn't help but tremble.

I can only say that it is worthy of Star Pictures.

That's really generous.

But with so much money, the results of making movies can only be better.

The next thing to do is to choose the role.

Wang Jianjun said directly:

"Mr. Liao, I hope that all the actors in this movie will be mainland martial arts athletes, so that they can play the leading role. I will only be responsible for the directing team."

Hearing this, Liao Chengzhi could not help but wonder:

"Is what you said true?"

No wonder Liao Chengzhi was surprised.

After all, the film industry in Hong Kong has its own pride in this era.

In their opinion, only kung fu movies made by Hong Kong people are authentic.

Wang Jianjun is afraid that by doing this he will offend many people in the Hong Kong film industry.

"I have already planned this, but there is one thing. When the movie is released and promoted, I hope to help promote my company and products at the same time."

"That's easy to say, but I also have a request. You must make this movie well!"

"Okay, it's a deal!"

Wang Jianjun immediately asked Liao Chengzhi to return to the inland and contact the State Sports Commission to ask them to assist in the casting.

When filming a martial arts film like Shaolin Temple, the characters inside must include people with a background in kung fu.

This way the action scenes will be more realistic.

The other characters are okay.

But he will definitely invite people like the sword master Yu Chenghui, the natural villain Ji Chunhua, and Yu Hai and Jet Li.

The Chinese Sports Commission naturally fully supported Wang Jianjun's request.

During this era, Chinese martial arts were also facing the issue of their future, and the Chinese Sports Commission also felt that Chinese martial arts could try to carve out a niche in martial arts films.

At the suggestion of Wang Jianjun, the Chinese Sports Commission decided to hold the National Wushu Invitational Tournament in Sijiu City.

The invitational tournament will be recorded and broadcasted in its entirety on television.

At the same time, Wang Jianjun will also bring the director and photography team of his own film company from Hong Kong to shoot.

Then select some actors suitable for the movie from among these participants.
