The king of ghost horse comedy

Chapter 297 Mr. Zan and Qian Hua

"The silver bullet offensive, I remember it seemed to be your masterpiece at the beginning, and you even poached a group of people from our wireless TV station." Mr. Li Xiaohe pointed at Xu Guanwu and said with a smile, "You are now the manager of Brilliant Cinemas Liang Shuyi, isn't it our TV station? Deputy Manager."

Xu Guanwu couldn't help but smile awkwardly when Mr. Li Xiaohe exposed the previous embarrassment in person, "For Ms. Liang Shuyi, the deputy manager of TVB really doesn't have enough room to display her abilities. You see, she is not working very well in our Xu Corporation now. Okay, not only in charge of a company as big as Brilliant Cinemas, but also in charge of the film review of Xu's Film Industry."

"Miss Liang Shuyi is indeed a talent. I originally wanted to train her as a successor, but I didn't expect you to be so quick, and you would be poached by you." Mr. Li Xiaohe complained with a smile, "Okay, I have not worked with Shao Yifu for a year or two, and I know his character. Since I promised you at the beginning, I will definitely return to Zhao in the future, so naturally I won't let him poach someone and leave you a mess."

"Then I would like to thank Mr. Li." Xu Guanwu couldn't help standing up after hearing this, "By the way, if the TVB TV station has any shortage of funds due to salary increases, you can come to me."

"Don't worry, now TVB's income is several million Hong Kong dollars, and it's not that easy to cause a financial crisis." Mr. Li Xiaohe couldn't help laughing after hearing Xu Guanwu's words, "Since my old man promised you , it won’t leave you with a mess.”

"Okay, I trust Mr. Li's character." Xu Guanwu nodded, said goodbye to Mr. Li Xiaohe, and strode out.

……

In October, "Lin Shirong" starring Hong Jingbao was announced to be completed, and then another script "Mr. Zan and Changqianhua" was hurriedly handed over. Like "The Prodigal Boy", it is also a movie based on Wing Chun.

According to legend, Wing Chun was created by five masters, and then passed on to his apprentice Yan Yongchun. Yan Yongchun then passed it on to her husband Liang Bochou, and Liang Bochou passed it on to Huang Huabao and Liang Erdi. Yu Ryazan.

This Liang Zan is the role played by Yuan Biao in the previous "Prodigal Boy", and Liang Erdi, played by Lin Zhengying, also sang operas in the troupe for a career in the early days.Looking for Qianhua Zhao Huashun is a disciple of Liang Zan's successor, because he worked as an accountant in the bank, so he got the fancy name of looking for Qianhua.

Chen Huashun later took in Ip Man as his apprentice, and Ip Man later took in Bruce Lee as his apprentice, becoming a world-renowned kung fu superstar, and using Wing Chun as the mother body, he created another martial art "Jet Kune Do".

Ip Man's closed disciple Liang Ting is also not simple. The Liang Ting boxing gym he founded is the largest single martial arts group in the world. Boxing gyms are spread all over the world. There are a total of 200 million students, of which there are more than [-] in Hong Kong alone. disciple.And there are many celebrities among them, such as Michelle Michelle, Andy Lau, Karen Mok and so on.

Hong Jingbao previously filmed "The Prodigal Boy" and put Wing Chun on the stage, which was welcomed by the audience, so this time he repeated the same trick and once again brought the stories of two Wing Chun masters, Liang Zan and Chang Qianhua, to the screen.

When Xu Guanwu saw this script, he felt very familiar, and remembered that he had indeed seen such a movie before.Although I can't remember the storyline clearly, I still remember the martial arts scenes in the movie quite well, especially the last big fight with the villain.

The evil Mantis Boxing fights against Wing Chun Boxing, the fight is really brilliant, even after watching it decades later, it still doesn't feel outdated in the slightest.

And Xu Guanwu still remembers the actor who played Cha Qian Hua, who seemed to be hired from Korea.At that time, Hong Kong films were second to none in Asia, and many foreign actors came to Hong Kong to develop in the film industry. In the early days, there were Huang Zhengli, Chiba Shinichi, Sanada Hiroyuki, etc., and later there were Oshima Yukari, Nishiwake Michiko, Bin Ni Uquid, Luo Fuluo, etc.

The reason why Xu Guanwu was so impressed with that actor was because that actor's acting skills were so poor, he almost had an angry expression throughout the whole process, always with such a straight face.Xu Guanwu was puzzled at first, why did this actor have such poor acting skills, why did he hire him as the leading role, but after searching online, he found out that he was Korean.

Xu Guanwu immediately understood that Hong Jingbao probably let him play the leading role in order to create a Korean film market.There is nothing wrong with inviting actors from other countries to make guest appearances in order to open up the film market in that country. Hollywood is not the only one who knows how to do it. Smart Hong Kong filmmakers have long understood.

But now the Korean actor with a wooden expression doesn't know where he is, so the role of looking for Qian Hua was naturally taken over by Yuan Biao, and the role of Mr. Zan was originally played by Liang Jiaren, but unfortunately now Liang Jiaren was still filming at Shaw Brothers, so he had to be played by Lin Zhengying again.

As for Hong Jingbao, he still played Mr. Liang Zan's fat apprentice Fei Chun, and he took on all the humorous scenes.As for the villain, there are still Feng Ke'an and other members of the Hong family playing, and the basic configuration is similar to the previous movies.

……

Because the last "Miscellaneous Boy" was a big hit at the box office, and the recent test screening of "Lin Shirong" was pretty good, so after the script of "Mr. Zan and Changqianhua" was submitted, everyone approved it after a short review.

Three films are shot in one year, and the box office of each film is worth looking forward to, which is equivalent to an annual income of hundreds of thousands of Hong Kong dollars, which makes others envious.

Among them, Zeng Zhiwei is the most greedy. Seeing that each of Hong Jingbao's films sells for two or three million Hong Kong dollars, and the dividends are so large that he is scared to death, he can't help but feel anxious.

But Hong Jingbao has Huang Bingyao, the military adviser of the bridge king, behind him, but Zeng Zhiwei does not have this think tank behind him.Wang Jing was originally as talented as Huang Bingyao, but now he has not graduated from university, so his main job is still on his studies, and he doesn't have much time to help Zeng Zhiwei in planning, so it is difficult for a clever wife to cook without rice.Zeng Zhiwei could only watch Hong Jingbao gorging on meat and soup, and he couldn't even eat any scum.

And Mai Jia has Huang Baiming, a think tank. After filming "Crazy Big Brother", he will make "It's as simple as catching a thief", and he can also make a lot of money.

In comparison, Cheng Long can only finish filming this year's "One and a Half Ways of the Rivers and Lakes", even if the box office is ridiculously high, it can't compare with the power of Hong Jingbao's three films.

And the worst thing this year is the Xu Brothers, Xu Guanwen has been pondering the new script since the beginning of the year and has not yet figured it out.He now has a big company in his hands, and it is no exaggeration to make money every day, so for him, filming is more about bringing laughter to everyone, rather than just focusing on making money.

So the requirements for new plays are higher than before, and ordinary scripts really can't catch his eye.In Xu Guanwen's view, although the scripts written by Huang Bingyao, Huang Baiming, Wang Jing and others, although the resulting movies are very popular, they are not refined enough and cannot achieve the effect of "stop laughing" from the audience.

Xu Guanwen is determined to make every audience in the theater laugh every minute from the beginning of the movie.If such a requirement is to be met, then the script really needs careful consideration.

The eldest brother Xu Guanwen did not film this year, so the fourth brother Xu Guanjie is free. Fortunately, he can still release records, hold fan meetings, tour, etc. The small life is not lonely at all.

The third child, Xu Guanying, has made guest appearances in many movies, participating in "Crazy Old Thousands", "It's Easy to Catch Thieves", "Miscellaneous Boys" and so on. He usually goes to TV stations to do programs when he is free, and his life is the same. It was very chic.

Xu Guanwu saw that his elder brother was still thinking about the new script, and it was miserable for the two generals Liu Tianci and Deng Weixiong to practice, so he couldn't help but want to give him the script of the play "Half a Catty".

"Half Weight" is one of the most famous films in Hong Kong film history, ranking No.2 in the Top 800 Hong Kong Films, second only to Makoto's "The True Colors of a Hero".The box office of the film even reached 70 million Hong Kong dollars, which was the No. [-] movie in the [-]s. In the same period, movies with a box office of over one million were already blockbusters.

Xu Guanwu watched this movie many times in his previous life, and he was familiar with the funny lines and plots in it, so he had already written the script in full early.

I didn't hand it over to the elder brother before because I hoped that he could create another new work by himself. After all, Xu Guanwu didn't have many survivals in his hands, and if he used one, he would lose one.But now it seems that creating a new script is not as easy as I thought, so it is inevitable that my elder brother will suffer again, so Xu Guanwu still threw out "Half a Catty".

……

"Brother, are you still busy?" Xu Guanwu came to Xu Guanwen's office and saw that he was studying something with Liu Tianci and Deng Weixiong, so he couldn't help asking with a smile.

"Ah Wu, come, come, let me see which of these two plots is more suitable?" Xu Guanwen saw Xu Guanwu and waved quickly.

Xu Guanwu walked over and picked up the script on the table, and seeing the name "Crazy Detective" written on the cover, he couldn't help but feel moved, could it be the "Half Weight" in my hand?
"Half a Catty" is also a detective film, and Hong Kong films often change their names many times for various reasons before they are released.Maybe the previous life of "Half Weight" was called "Crazy Detective".

However, after reading the script and looking at the plot of the story, it was completely different from my own "Half Weight".This film is a bit similar to the European and American crime comedy movies "Pink Panther" and "The White-headed Detective". It tells the story of the detective played by Xu Guanwen who receives a mission to protect precious jewelry, so he and his assistant Xu Guanying went to the villa to protect it.

The flying thief played by Xu Guanjie is going to snatch the jewel, and Xu Guanying also falls into a peachy trap, planning to guard himself and steal the jewel.All parties used their own tricks in the process of stealing the treasure, which caused a series of jokes.Although Xu Guanwen succeeded in keeping the jewelry, he exposed the whole scam.

It turned out that the jewelry itself was fake, and Xu Guanying was instigated by the owner of the jewelry to steal the jewelry in order to defraud a huge amount of insurance money.

After Xu Guanwu finished reading the whole script, he felt that his eldest brother really had two skills. The script was completed to a high degree. Just at the villa banquet, the three-party battle of wits was full of jokes.It is much more exciting than the "Pink Panther" of the same type in Europe and America.

"Brother, this script is really well written. I think it is well written, and it should be able to invest in filming." Xu Guanwu said with a smile.

Hearing what Xu Guanwu said, Liu Tianci and Deng Weixiong both showed expressions of relief, "How about it, Mike, now even Stanley has said that, this "Crazy Detective" can indeed be filmed, don't be too picky, okay?" it is good?"

"You can do better, why not do it?" Xu Guanwen asked back, and then glanced at Xu Guanwu, "You came here today for business, what are you holding, take it over and have a look."

"Oh?!" Xu Guanwu didn't realize it for a while, and when he understood, he was trying to hide the script behind him.Anyway, Big Brother's "Crazy Detective" is good enough, so it doesn't matter if I take out "Half Weight".But unexpectedly, Xu Guanwen had sharp eyes, and immediately noticed the script in Xu Guanwu's hand.

"This is the script I just wrote, but it's far worse than yours, brother, so you don't need to read it." Xu Guanwu smiled and said.
