Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 1657 Magic Comedy Movie
Lin Daoqiu could see that Xu Guanwen was already very excited about joining New Oriental, but he still couldn't make up his mind because of the nostalgia.

In this case, Lin Daoqiu had to come up with something that would allow Xu Guanwen to make up his mind.

"I hope that Mr. Xu can produce a film every year. In addition to your own production, I will also provide you with a script."

After Lin Daoqiu finished speaking, he took out a script and put it on the table.

For a long time, Xu Guanwen has been the screenwriter for the films he makes, and he has never had the habit of asking others for help.

In addition to making more professional films, such as films that require professional knowledge, he will find people who are proficient in this area to participate in the screenwriting.

At this time, Lin Daoqiu suddenly took out a script for Xu Guanwen, which was a bit of a surprise to Xu Guanwen.

However, he didn't only shoot the scripts he wrote. It's just that Xu Guanwen has high requirements for the quality of the movies at this time. If the scripts are not very good, he is unlikely to follow.

When Xu Guanwen took a look at the script, he saw the name of the play "Ghost in Disguise".

"This is a comedy movie with special effects. Like Mr. Xu's previous movies, the hero is a small person, just an ordinary bank employee."

The movie "Ghost in Mask" is one of the representative works of Hollywood star Jim Carrey, and it is a very interesting movie.

Lin Daoqiu slightly modified the plot and put the play in Xiangjiang, and changed the actor's identity to an ordinary middle-aged man.

He lived a boring and boring life day after day, and had kissed dozens of times, but because he was too rigid and honest, he was not popular with women at all.

Every day when I leave home for work, I go to the breakfast shop downstairs to eat Yuanyang milk tea and wonton noodles, almost never changing.

And the relationship that I thought was too honest, has always been looked down upon and all kinds of teasing and mischief.

Originally, he thought that he would die alone, but unexpectedly, on this day, he met a beautiful woman when he was working in the bank.

The other party came to Xu Guanwen's counter to handle business, and then chatted briefly with Xu Guanwen.

From the simple conversation, Xu Guanwen learned that the other party's original name was A Mei and she was a widow. Her husband had just passed away and left her an inheritance.

Later, he even discovered that Ami was a student of the same university as him, and both had joined the drama club.

After Amei learned of this situation, she showed great interest in Xu Guanwen, and then invited him to have dinner together.

In the following relationship, Xu Guanwen was fascinated by Ami's fans, and then he was tricked by the other party to find out the secret of the bank escorting the money.

It turned out that A Mei was one of the members of a group of robbers, and the reason she approached Xu Guanwen was to get out the details of the bank escort.

With the "help" of Xu Guanwen, the bank's deposit car was successfully robbed by these robbers, and A Mei also disappeared from Xu Guanwen's life from this day onwards.

Xu Guanwen, who lost Ah Mei, became extremely depressed, and he thought that Ah Mei was playing with him.

When Xu Guanwen came to the beach and wanted to end himself, he suddenly got a mysterious mask by chance.

After wearing this mask, Xu Guanwen gained a mysterious power, he became very confident and talented, not only agile, but also conjured various things.

Xu Guanwen began to take revenge on those who looked down on him in the past, and played various pranks to tease others.

After getting this mysterious power, he lived the life he dreamed of.

But soon he got tired of it, and his biggest dream at this time was to try his best to get Ami back.

With the help of his friends, Xu Guanwen finally found A Mei, and also learned the truth from the other party.

After a battle of wits and courage, the group of robbers were finally subdued by Xu Guanwen and his friends and sent to the police station. Xu Guanwen and A Mei also started their new lives.

If this movie does not add some special effects, it can only be said to be a very ordinary Hong Kong comedy movie.

So when Xu Guanwen read the script, he was not shocked or amazed, he thought it was just a standard script.

If Lin Daoqiu hadn't written it, he probably wouldn't even finish reading it.

"In the past, Xu Guanwen was a sneer, but I believe that Mr. Xu's acting style is more than that. Apart from the cold face, I believe you can control any role. I believe you can do it."

It sounded like Lin Daoqiu was flattering the other party, but in fact Lin Daoqiu's words came from the heart. In his opinion, Xu Guanwen's talent was definitely more than that.

As long as he breaks away from the previous inherent performance methods, the audience can see a different side of Xu Guanwen, which is what Lin Daoqiu hopes to see.

"Brother, Mr. Lin will not easily write scripts for others. Since he believes in you so much, why don't you give it a try?"

Xu Guanjie also persuaded his elder brother by the side, he even made up his mind that if necessary, he would also play a role in it.

Looking at the script in his hand, Xu Guanwen was expressionless. He didn't know whether he should accept Lin Daoqiu's invitation.

You must know that once he accepts it, it means that he will switch from Golden Harvest to New Oriental.

Although he did not have a contract with Golden Harvest, the two parties were only cooperating in the form of cooperation. Once he went to help New Oriental to film a movie, he would jump to New Oriental in disguise.

After all, New Oriental and Golden Harvest are in conflict at this time, and it is impossible for him to allow himself to cooperate with both parties. After all, his box office appeal has dropped a lot compared to before.

"Mr. Lin, please let me think about it for two days, and I will give you an answer as soon as possible."

Xu Guanwen couldn't make a decision right away, he planned to talk to Zou Wenhuai and He Guanchang, after all they had worked together for so many years.

Even if they broke up unhappy in the end, Xu Guanwen wanted to share his thoughts with them.

"No problem, hopefully I'll get good news then."

Lin Daoqiu did not force Xu Guanwen to decide whether to agree or reject immediately.

For Lin Daoqiu, a person like Xu Guanwen is definitely a very smart person. He is very clear about the current situation and knows how to choose what is best for him.

The reason why he was so entangled was because Xu Guanwen was hindered by his relationship with Jiahe, so he seemed so hesitant.

Lin Daoqiu admires people like Xu Guanwen very much, and he is willing to give him time, after all, talents are hard to find.
