The king of ghost horse comedy

Chapter 287

After hearing Chen Huimin's words, Xu Guanwu couldn't help but smiled and waved his hands, "The Ma brothers' going to Taiwan is not like you going to Thailand. They have money and friends in Taiwan. I don't know how comfortable their small life is."

"That's true. Ma Xizhen, nicknamed the Golden Horse, has always spent a lot of money extravagantly." Chen Huimin nodded and said, "If he is rich, he only wants to enjoy life in Taiwan, unlike us short mules who are simply fleeing from disaster."

"You contact some reliable brothers first, and wait for my order slowly." Xu Guanwu smiled and urged, "The money will be drawn from the company, and I will ask them to open a secret account for you."

"Okay, since Mr. Xu is determined not to let them go, then I will definitely help Mr. Xu." Chen Huimin nodded.

After setting up Chen Huimin's dark game, Xu Guanwu quietly waited for the news.

But for several weeks in a row, the police basically did not make any major moves other than continuing to sweep the stalls, which made Xu Guanwu anxiously waiting.

"What the hell is going on? Could it be that so many people were arrested and there is still no evidence of the Ma brothers' involvement in the case?" Xu Guanwu couldn't help biting his teeth.

At the end of June, a collective corruption case broke out in the Kowloon Department of Communications. Thirteen police officers including the Superintendent and Chief Inspector were arrested, causing a sensation in Hong Kong.

Xu Guanwu ordered the "Daily Daily" to follow up the report, but he was secretly happy, knowing that after the Ma brothers' wings were cut off, the police began to undercut their umbrella.

……

At the end of June, the first batch of baijiu ordered by Xu Guanwu arrived in Hong Kong, and immediately after unloading, it was sent to the treasure house for storage. Looking at the dozens of tons of Maotai liquor, Xu Guanwu's eyes were full of gold stars. "Nimma, now a bottle of Moutai is only 30 Hong Kong dollars. In another [-] years, [-] Hong Kong dollars may not be able to buy it. The price has increased by a hundred times, and the average annual value has increased by more than three times. There is still more than this Is it a more profitable business?"

……

Entering July, "Miscellaneous Boys" was announced to be finalized. Before it was finished, Hong Jingbao came up with a script "Lin Shirong". The speed really surprised everyone.

Among them, Zeng Zhiwei is the most envious. He can earn 10,000+ by making one movie, and by making two more movies a year, he can earn hundreds of thousands more, and he can even buy a building.

The film "Lin Shirong" has a plot, fights, and humor. The script passed the review very quickly, and Hong Jingma called the team to start filming immediately without wasting any time.

Compared with his high speed, Cheng Long doesn't even have a script so far, Zeng Zhiwei's "Kicking the Pavilion" is only halfway through filming, and Mai Jia's "Crazy Old Thousands" is almost finished filming, but there is no new script for the time being. take it out.

Xu Guanwu knew that Hong Jingbao's organizational ability was quite outstanding. In the 80s, he supported two companies by himself, one Debao and one Jiahe. In the 80s, he created a total box office of 5.35 million, ranking first among all Hong Kong movie stars at that time; his cumulative box office in Japan was 180 billion yen, which was also the highest cumulative box office in the 80s.

In the 80s, Hong Jingbao, Cheng Long, Xu Guanjie, and Zhou Runfa were the four most popular movie stars in Hong Kong. Among them, Hong Jingbao made the greatest contribution. He not only served as director, starring, and producer, but also won the Lots and lots of movie stars.Such as Wu Junru, Qian Jiale, Lin Zhengying, Liu Jialing and so on.

In comparison, although Cheng Long, Zhou Runfa, and Xu Guanjie starred in movies that were also popular, they did not develop as comprehensively as Hong Jingbao in other fields.

Therefore, Xu Guanwu appreciates Comrade Hong Jingbao's aggressive and hard-working spirit.If every filmmaker can be like him, then Xu Brothers will not have to worry about not having a good film released.

It is worth mentioning that, after the summer vacation at the end of June, Xiaopang Wang Jing began to practice in the screenwriting department, and wrote a script for Cheng Long as soon as he came, called "One and a half way to enter the rivers and lakes". I have learned kung fu, but I want to break through the rivers and lakes with one and a half moves. After encountering all kinds of ridiculous things, I finally know that the world is not so easy to break through, so I make up my mind to practice martial arts hard, and finally become a generation of martial arts masters.

The story of this kind of naughty boy breaking into the rivers and lakes, first enduring hardships and then working hard, and finally becoming a master, fits Cheng Long's appetite very well.And he has actually played the same role in the movies of the past few years. "Snake-shaped Diao Shou" is still a simple and honest boy, but "Laughing Fist", "Drunken Master" and so on, all focus on the naughty and mischievous character of young people, which attracts the attention of the younger generation.

After Cheng Long got Wang Jing's script, he immediately applied to the company for project approval as if he had found a treasure.Although this script was written by Wang Jing for the first time, the story was written very well, and Hong Jingbao, Zeng Zhiwei, Mai Jia and others were all amazed.Zeng Zhiwei kept shouting for treasure, and he would have pulled Wang Jing over if he knew it earlier.

Now that the company has implemented the new dividend system, the more plays it opens, the more money it will make. However, the seven-person group meeting got stuck with bad scripts, which made the screenwriters in the company a hot commodity.If the script is well written and the probability of passing is high, then it will be easier to approve the project and make more money.

But a good screenwriter is always rare, so Zeng Zhiwei is very envious of Cheng Long's shit luck, why did he pick up such a treasure? !
But Zeng Zhiwei was also clever, knowing that Wang Jing is only an intern now, and he still has to go back to class after school starts.When I return to the company at that time, I might follow someone else.So he came up with the idea of ​​poaching corners as soon as he had an idea.

In addition to Cheng Long's new play, Gui Zhihong, the director who stayed in the school for more than half a year and was almost forgotten by everyone, finally returned to the company.

In the past six months or so, Gui Zhihong's performance was OK, his teaching was conscientious, his students rated him well, and his colleagues got along well with him.

Seeing that his performance was good, Xu Guanwu let him return to the company and sit on the director's seat again in line with the idea that if you are a talent, don't waste it.

It's just that "Big Brother Cheng" was filmed and released last year, and in terms of word-of-mouth and box office, it is not [-]% better than his previous "Cheng Ji Tea House", so Gui Zhihong has now fallen to the point where there is no film to film.

But he can be regarded as capable. When he returned to the company on the first day, he immediately handed in a large stack of scripts. "Midnight Ghost"... just looking at the names of these scripts, they all have a gloomy taste.

Xu Guanwu couldn't help frowning when he saw it, why did he spend half a year with so many young and sunny students, preaching and teaching for such a long time, why is Gui Zhihong still full of hostility, so he can't write a book that is a little more normal script?

But maybe this is Gui Zhihong's characteristic, without this hostility, he probably wouldn't be able to become the king of cults.

"I'll send these scripts to you for review." Xu Guanwu nodded, "But this time you're going to be a director. I don't want to have what happened last year again, otherwise you don't want to be a director anymore."

Gui Zhihong has been sitting on the bench for almost a year, and he has already tasted enough of the hardships, "I will restrain myself, Mr. Xu, don't worry."

"Well, even though you said that, I still have to send someone to keep an eye on you." Xu Guanwu nodded, "During your filming process, the producer will supervise your work throughout the process. If you find anything wrong, He will take drastic measures immediately."

"Do other directors do the same?" Gui Zhihong couldn't help asking after hearing this.

According to what Xu Guanwu said, then he can only be used as a tool for making movies, all power of life and death is controlled by the producer, and the filming can be suspended at any time to let the director pack up and leave.

For Gui Zhihong, who is used to acting arbitrarily, it undoubtedly put a heavy shackle on him, making him unable to move around at all.

"Not all directors, you are the only one enjoying this treatment in the company at present." Xu Guanwu said truthfully, "If you perform well in the future, we will gradually increase your power, so you don't have to be too discouraged."

Hearing what Xu Guanwu said, Gui Zhihong couldn't help being a little embarrassed, "I see, Mr. Xu, I will pay attention."

……

After six copies of Gui Zhihong's script were copied by Xu Guanwu, they were handed over to the remaining six people, and then discussed in a group meeting.

Among them, "The Strange Case of Hong Kong: Corpse Hidden in a Cardboard Box" was approved immediately, and basically no one had any objections.

The reason is that this case has recently been sentenced, and it has become a hot topic of most concern to the people of Hong Kong these days.In addition to the fact that the victim in this case was a young girl who was only 16 years old, it was also a murder case with very bad circumstances because she was discarded in a cardboard box after her death and her body was abandoned on the road.

At the same time, the criminal suspect in this case was arrested, and there were no direct witnesses. It was the first criminal in Hong Kong to be convicted through scientific forensics.After the suspect was arrested, he always insisted that he was innocent.Moreover, there are still many doubts in this case that cannot be explained.

After more than a year of investigation and trial, the criminal suspect was finally sentenced to death. However, this case has always been full of doubts and confusion, and the criminal has always refused to plead guilty.

Gui Zhihong's "Hong Kong Strange Case: Corpse Hidden in a Cardboard Box" is adapted from this case. It tells the story of the police searching for evidence after a young girl was killed, and finally arrested the suspect.However, after repeated interrogations and even criminal extortion of confessions, the criminal suspect was still unable to plead guilty, and the relatives of the criminal suspect were also wandering around, calling for injustice and appealing for him...

This script can be regarded as the companion piece of "Hong Kong Strange Case of Murder" filmed by Gui Zhihong and Golden Harvest last year. It is also based on the sensational murder case in Hong Kong. As a selling point, fully render the atmosphere of horror, horror and lawlessness.

In view of the fact that Hong Kong reality-themed movies can achieve good box office results, everyone is very confident in Gui Zhihong's "Hong Kong Strange Case: Corpse Hidden in a Cardboard".

Wu Siyuan is No. 1 in adapting popular social news to the screen. He put "The Storm of Integrity" on the screen the year before last. The screen also achieved very good box office results.

And the big sales of this kind of reality-themed movies that brought popular news to the screen also attracted the participation of this old store of Shaw Brothers."Hong Kong Strange Case" and "Skynet" directed by Cheng Gang, Hua Shan, etc. have been put on the screen one after another, and they have also achieved good box office results.

Although Gui Zhihong's "Cheng Ji Tea House" and "Big Brother Cheng" are also based on reality, they break away from the barriers of real cases and make the story more artistic, with a stronger sense of drama conflict, but because of the lack of necessary topics Sex, so the overall box office is not as good as these strange case-themed movies.However, in terms of innovation, Gui Zhihong still has the upper hand.

After all, strange cases do not happen every year, and Hong Kong is still a relatively safe city after all, so the themes of strange cases are always limited, and the more they are used, the more they become exhausted, and in the end they always need to recreate the story.Gui Zhihong's "Chengji Tea House" is a step ahead, but unfortunately, the step is too big and it will be messed up.

……

At the beginning of July, the mainland was not very peaceful, and another great man passed away, which made China feel sad.

When it was reported to Hong Kong, Xu Guanwu suddenly thought of something. It seems that not long after the death of this great man, Yanzhao Shantang fell on the spot.

"Damn it! We must try to stop this." Xu Guanwu couldn't help but shouted.
