……

On the [-]th day of the first lunar month, the flavor of the new year faded, and Xinghui Art School was officially established.

Xinghui Art School was funded and established by the superstar manager company, and hired senior Hong Kong actor and drama educator Chung King Fai as the principal, Liu Zhaoming as the director of the dance department, Huang Zhan and Gu Jiahui as guest music teachers, Zhang Guoming and Zhang Jian as guest director class teachers, Deng Weixiong , Liu Tianci, director and teacher of the screenwriting department...

The first batch of five classes, music, dance, production, directing, acting, etc., each class recruits [-] students, and the school is responsible for providing board and lodging. theoretical knowledge, and entered the Xu Brothers company for internship.

There is a small test every month and a major test every six months. Those with excellent grades can graduate early and be reused by the company.

Those who have poor grades for three consecutive months without any improvement will be dismissed.

Those who cause trouble by fighting and breaking school rules will be disqualified from studying and reserve the right to pursue compensation.

Xinghui Arts School was established by Xu Guanwu to train professional film talents in Hong Kong, so he attaches great importance to this school, and the school site is also specially chosen near the Huada studio, so that students can observe the crew at close range and have a good understanding of the future. Work has a preliminary impression.

There were no professional performing arts schools in Hong Kong before, but Shaw Brothers pursued a large studio system.With regard to acting, directing, production and other trainings, they are all led by master masters. Success or failure depends on the talents of the apprentices. There is no formal and orderly talent training process.

The Xinghui Arts School established by Xu Guanwu can be called the first formal professional performing arts school in Hong Kong.Although it has just been established and the experience in running a school is still insufficient, it has opened a new page for Hong Kong's entertainment industry.

On the day of its establishment, Xu Guanwu very high-profilely invited a group of celebrities from the entertainment industry to cut the ribbon.

Seeing these celebrities appearing in front of him, dressed in gold and silver, all the students present showed envy in their eyes.

"Students, do you want to become famous in the future and become a big star or director that everyone pays attention to?" Xu Guanwu shouted loudly on the stage.

"Think!" The students in the audience shouted together.

"Speak louder, I didn't hear you!" Xu Guanwu roared.

"Think!" The 200 people in the audience shouted at the top of their voices.

"Okay, remember today, remember your current mood, remember the thoughts in your mind at this moment." Xu Guanwu said, "Nothing is difficult in this world, as long as you put your heart into it. As long as you work hard, you will succeed. I look forward to your growth !"

The news of the establishment of Xinghui Art School did not cause much repercussions in the society except for the surprise of Shaw Brothers and Jiahe.

But the next day there was a piece of news that caused a sensation in Hong Kong.

Hong Kong Chief Superintendent Godber, who resigned in 73, was suspected of embezzling 437 million Hong Kong dollars. After more than two years of hard work by the ICAC, the evidence of the crime was finally convincing. After being tried by the Hong Kong Victoria Court, he was convicted of corruption and sentenced to four years in prison.

Godber is the most senior official arrested and tried by the ICAC since its establishment.Godber's imprisonment also demonstrated the determination of the Hong Kong government to fight corruption. When the news came out, countless citizens flocked to the streets to celebrate.

On the same day, Wu Siyuan, the founder of Siyuan Films, announced that the film would bring the Gerber case to the screen, which immediately attracted the attention of Hong Kong citizens.

"This Wu Siyuan is really talented. He knows what everyone wants to see, so he started to prepare right away." Xu Guanwu smiled.

"The British Hong Kong government will definitely be unhappy if this case is brought to the screen." Xu Guanjie said, "Isn't this slapping them in the face? Even if you make money, it will not be worth the loss."

"I think Wu Siyuan is very smart. Before the film was made, what he preached has been known to everyone and has been unanimously welcomed by everyone. If the British Hong Kong government boycotts him, he will stand on the opposite side of the public. If he pretends If nothing happens, Wu Siyuan will make a lot of money." Xu Guanwu said with a smile, "Even if this film really can't be made, Wu Siyuan has made himself a hero who can fight, no matter what film he makes in the future, Someone will support you.”

"Then should we follow suit and make one?" Xu Guanying asked curiously, "In my opinion, this kind of film shouldn't be difficult to make."

"No, he has already sent out the news. If we also shoot, wouldn't it be a mere imitation?" Xu Guanwu resolutely objected. The big reason for the decline of Hong Kong movies is blindly following the trend. He is determined to save Hong Kong movies. Breaking the rules to follow the trend of filming.

"It's a pity. Seeing so many people celebrating on the street, you know that Gerberdeau is unpopular. If it is put on the screen, everyone will definitely like to watch it." Xu Guanying laughed.

……

Three weeks after the release of "Genius and Idiot" and "Laughing Boxing Strange Tricks", they are officially released.

"Genius and Idiot" earned a total box office of 630 million Hong Kong dollars, tens of thousands of Hong Kong dollars more than "Ghost Horse Double Star".But considering that "Genius and Idiot" has only been released for more than two weeks, and "Genius and Idiot" has been released for three weeks, and the number of theaters and promotional efforts are also very different. ", it is still a bit different.

Although he also achieved a good start, Xu Guanwen still reflected on the whole story, and finally concluded that "Genius and Idiot" is full of too much black humor and social satire. Although the screenwriters tried their best to make it more funny, the result Still unsatisfactory.

"In the next play, we will reduce this kind of black humor, and stop talking about big truths." Xu Guanwen said to Xu Guanwu, "Leave those scenes and let the audience ponder."

"It's like the blank space in traditional Chinese painting, giving the audience room to imagine?" Xu Guanwu asked with a smile.

"Yes, that's the truth." Xu Guanwen smiled, "If you expose the dark side of society to everyone, everyone will be disgusted or even afraid. Then let them think about it for themselves after watching the movie."

"Brother, what do you plan to do next, do you have an idea?" Xu Guanwu asked with a smile.

"Second brother, do you already have an idea?" Xu Guanwen asked.

The previous "Fat Qian Han" and "Genius and Idiot" were planned by Xu Guanwu, and the box office results were very satisfactory. Xu Guanwen also praised the second brother's talent in comedy.

"I have a little idea, let me talk about it first, brother, listen to see if it suits you." Xu Guanwu said, and narrated the plot of "The Deed of Sale".

"Deed of Sale" is the third film that the Xu Brothers have collaborated on, and it is also the first film in which Xu Guanying plays an important supporting role.It tells the story of the TV station forcing its artists to sign contracts of prostitution in order to save costs; the artists of the TV stations were not reused, and they went to host programs on a hostile station, but unexpectedly caught fire; they wanted to steal back the contract of prostitution to change the contract, but were chased and killed, and finally went through a lot of twists and turns , and finally managed to get rid of the contract of prostitution and return to freedom.

In this movie, the two TV stations mirror Hong Kong TVB and Li's TV respectively.The long-term contract of TVB is notorious for its long signing time and harsh conditions.

Both Xu Guanwen and Xu Guanjie had worked in TVB before, so they naturally knew all of these well.After listening to Xu Guanwu's narration, they all felt that this film was very funny and would definitely be a hit.
