The king of ghost horse comedy

Chapter 255 Talented Shu Qi
"Then you mean to let me leave Xinghui Art School and become Mr. Li Xiaohe's assistant?" Zhong Jinghui asked with a cold face.

Seeing Zhong Jinghui's stern face, Xu Guanwu couldn't laugh anymore.

"KINS SIR, I actually recommended you to Mr. Xu." Seeing that something was wrong, Liang Shuyi quickly stood up and explained, "You are the founding father of TVB, and you are friends with Mr. Li Xiaohe, and the staff of the TV station You are very familiar with them, and they all admire you very much. So it is perfect for you to take up this position."

Zhong Jinghui couldn't help thinking for a while after hearing this, and after a long time, he sighed, "If I go to TVB, it will be difficult for me to hold the post of principal of Xinghui Art School concurrently. Have you decided who will take over?"

Xu Guanwu rubbed his nose, he really didn't think about this candidate, "It's better to promote the people in the school than to hire someone from outside to manage it. KING SIR, you are the principal of the school, and you have been working with everyone since the day the school was founded. Help me to propose a few people to choose, okay?"

"Then I'll recommend a few people to Mr. Xu for your consideration." Zhong Jinghui thought for a while, "Liu Tianci, Deng Weixiong, Zhang Guoming and Gu Jiahui. These four people are all outstanding talents, and they all have the ambition to teach and educate people." .”

"Hey, why did everyone have a nomination, but I was the only one left out? What the hell are you doing, KING SIR?" Huang Zhan shouted from behind with a displeased expression on his face.

"Old Xie, I know that you are making movies, writing lyrics and commercials, being the producer of a TV station, and teaching music at school. You are already very busy, how do you have time to manage school affairs? " Zhong Jinghui said unceremoniously, "Besides, you are out of temper, and you are not suitable for teaching and educating people."

Huang Zhan was robbed of his whiteness for a while, and couldn't help his face turning red and green, green and white, and he kept changing his face.

"A Zhan, do you really want to be the principal of the art school? If so, I'll take you into consideration." Xu Guanwu interjected.

Huang Zhan was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly, "KING SIR is right, I really don't have time, let others do it."

"Mr. Xu, I don't think it's suitable for me to be a principal. I'm still suitable for teaching and making movies, not a manager." Zhang Guoming also waved his hand.

Xu Guanwu nodded, and did not force it. Zhang Guoming is only in his 20s this year, and he is indeed too young to be the head of a school.

"That's Tianci, Brother Hui, and Weixiong." Xu Guanwu nodded, "I'll discuss it when I go back, and I'll give everyone a result tomorrow."

……

On the way back to the company by car, Liang Shuyi looked at Xu Guanwu, and suddenly said, "Stanley, who do you plan to promote to be the principal of Xinghui Art School?"

"I think Liu Tianci is good. His qualifications are high enough and his talent is very good. Moreover, he is my eldest brother's disciple. With this relationship, he can't be promoted." Xu Guanwu thought for a while and said.

"Isn't Deng Weixiong also a disciple of Mr. Xu? And Gu Jiahui is a well-known musician, isn't he also someone you have always wanted to recruit?" Liang Shuyi asked with a smile.

"In fact, all three of them are good, and they are all qualified to be the principal. But there can only be one principal, so the two of them will naturally wait for a while." Xu Guanwu said, "However, Deng Weixiong was the deputy director of the screenwriting department before, and this time he was promoted to the principal. Director. As for Mr. Gu Jiahui, after all, he is not a full-time teacher of the art school, if he is appointed as the principal, I am afraid that other teachers will be dissatisfied."

Liang Shuyi nodded, "It seems that you have already made up your mind. You didn't say it at the time because you were afraid of hurting the face of Deng Weixiong, Gu Jiahui and others, right?"

Xu Guanwu smiled, but did not answer.

……

The next day, Xu Guanwu formally awarded Liu Tianci the letter of appointment as the principal of Xinghui Art School, and at the same time appointed Mr. Zhong Jinghui as the honorary principal, while Deng Weixiong was promoted to the director of the screenwriting department.

In addition to some job changes, Xu Guanwu also announced a 20.00% increase in the salary of school faculty and staff to cope with the upward price pressure brought about by the economic recovery.In addition, the food standard for students at school has also increased from 15 Hong Kong dollars per day to [-] Hong Kong dollars per day.Ensure that there are meat, vegetables and fruits every day, and ensure the guarantee of school logistics, so that students can also devote all their energy to their studies.

On the first Monday in March, after attending the opening ceremony of the new students, Chung Jinghui left his hard-working Xinghui Art School, returned to his old TVB TV station, and served as Mr. Li Xiaohe's assistant, assisting him in handling TVB's work Everything.

Mr. Li Xiaohe is also very happy for Mr. Zhong Jinghui's return. He can stand shoulder to shoulder with the old courtier again. Mr. Li is very grateful for Xu Guanwu's kindness. This is much better than sending a young man who doesn't know his roots.And with Mr. Zhong Jinghui in TVB, Xu Guanwu is also assured that his interests will not be harmed.

Regarding Xu Guanwu's acquisition of TVB shares and becoming the largest shareholder, Xu Guanwu, Li Xiaohe, HSBC, Hutchison and Times did not disclose the news. Everyone just pretended that this incident had never happened, and did what they had to do .

Li Xiao and the old man still regard TVB as their own business, and they have to work until late every day before leaving get off work, as if they want to contribute their last effort to TVB. Even Mr. Chung King Fai was deeply moved by watching it.

……

In March, in addition to Xu Guanwu's big purchase of TVB's stock, another thing is that the nomination lists for the Academy Awards and the Golden Globe Awards have been released.

Xu Guanwu invested in "Jaws" and "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" which were released last year and were shortlisted for many awards. Among them, "Jaws" was shortlisted for Best Picture, Best Sound, Best Editing, Best Original Soundtrack, and the Golden Globe Award Best Director, Best Screenplay, and Best Original Music.

"One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" was shortlisted for nine awards including Best Supporting Actor, Best Actor, Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Film, Best Director, Best Actress, Best Original Score, and Best Editing. Sure enough, literary films are more favored by Oscar judges.

As for the Golden Globes, "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" won six nominations including Best Drama, Best Actor in a Drama, Best Director, Best Screenplay, Best Actress in a Drama, and Best New Actor.

So many shortlisted awards fully prove how good these two films are.The news came from the other side of the ocean, which also made the people of Hong Kong cheer and proud.

The "Close-Up" magazine, published by the talented Tang Shuxuan, also specially commented on the two films, believing that the two films have reached the highest achievements of literary films and commercial films respectively, and are classic works destined to be famous in the history of photography.

"Close-up" also specially sent someone to do an exclusive interview with Xu Guanwu. When the visitor reported his name, Xu Guanwu almost burst out laughing.It turned out that his name was Shu Qi. After reading the business card, Xu Guanwu realized that his Qi was the Qi next to the word Wang, not the Qi at Three Points of Water.

The Qi at [-] Dian Shui is the one who refused to admit it after making a film and became famous, cried all day long, said he was injured, and quit Weibo again and again.

The Qi next to the prince is a well-known talent in Hong Kong, a screenwriter, director, editor-in-chief, and film critic. He has released more than [-] art films and a translator who has translated more than [-] foreign language films...

Today's Shu Qi is only 20 years old, and she looks white, tender and gentle.He is still a student of the English Department of the University of Hong Kong, but in his spare time, he helps write film reviews for "Big Close-up", runs interviews, not only exercises himself, but also earns some income.

Xu Guanwu knew about Shu Qi a long time ago, and the reason is actually a bit nasty.I think Xu Guanwu was young back then, and I also heard that a certain Qi from Three Points of Water had made many films, so I searched and searched on the Internet, and finally found a film called "My Old Lady is So Sao". I was ecstatic and quickly downloaded it.

In the end, after I clicked to play, I found that it was absolutely cheating. It was not the kind of movie I thought, but a criminal action movie with a very messy story, which added a lot of suspense elements, making it mysterious and messy. After watching it, I completely Incomprehensible.

The film was made by the song god Zhang Xueyou when he first entered the film industry. It can be seen that the song god's acting skills were still quite young at that time.However, because he was quite outstanding in the music scene back then, he was regarded as the successor of the decent singer Guan Zhengjie, and he was very popular among young people, so he was still invited to appear in many films.Such as "Thunderbolt" starring Hong Jingbao, such as "Infatuated Me" directed by Gao Zhisen...

After Xu Guanwu patiently watched the movie "My Old Lady Is Showy", he was bruised all over by the cheating plot, and scolded the director of this movie for naming this name, which is definitely polluting the social atmosphere and teaching bad innocent young people. It should be pulled Playing JJ on the playground until death.

Later Xu Guanwu checked and found out that this cheating movie was directed by Shu Qi, and he and his bad friend Wen Jun were the screenwriters.Xu Guanwu also remembered this Hong Kong filmmaker whose name was only half a word away from that actress.

Seeing Shu Qi in person at this moment, Xu Guanwu really wanted to remind him that in the future, you should just shoot honestly when making films, and stop using such deceitful names, as it will easily lose character.

Shu Qi came here this time to do an interview about the Oscar nominations for "Big Close-up" magazine and for Xu Guanwu.

In fact, because of his own "Daily Daily", Xu Guanwu generally does not accept interviews from other media.However, for the magazine "Big Close-up", Xu Guanwu is extraordinarily respectful.Because this magazine itself is not for profit, or the main purpose is not for profit, but to provide a platform for Hong Kong film lovers to discuss, somewhat like the BBS of later generations.

It's just that the articles published by others are more professional, and fans of the first and second classes can't appreciate them at all.Most of the people who buy it are professional filmmakers or film critics, so you can imagine how miserable the sales of the magazine "Big Close-up" are.Probably the sales volume of each issue does not exceed [-] copies, which is a loss-making state of dismal management.

When Xu Guanwu launched the "Big Close-up" magazine earlier, he also proposed to provide a part of the money.But it was still rejected by Tang Shuxuan. The reason was to ensure that the magazine maintained an objective and fair stance, and would not accept capital injections from other film companies for the time being.

Xu Guanwu admires Tang Shuxuan's style of disregarding fame and fortune, but he still disagrees with her approach.Xu Guanwu believes that since films are to be promoted, it is impossible to only communicate among professionals and small circles.It should be promoted on a large scale, so that people from outside can also participate.

In this case, the article should be written to appeal to both elegance and vulgarity, and not to be so high-spirited, and it is not a long-term solution.But Talented Tang always has her own considerations. Anyway, she is not short of money, and if she loses, she will lose, even if she is just looking for fun for her movie friends.

……

"Mr. Xu, first of all congratulations on being nominated for both the Golden Globe Awards and the Academy Awards." Shu Qi congratulated first, "What was your first reaction when you heard the news?"

"Of course the first reaction was surprise." Xu Guanwu smiled, "I am naturally very honored to be shortlisted for an award that has a high status in the film industry all over the world."

"There are dozens of awards shortlisted this time. How many awards do you think you can win this time, and which awards do you feel most confident about?" Shu Qi continued to ask while writing.

"As an investor, what I most hope to win is the Best Picture Award." Xu Guanwu smiled, "Because there is a practice in Hollywood, for a film that wins the Best Picture, the takeaway copyright generally increases by 2000 million US dollars."
