The king of ghost horse comedy

Chapter 450 The Unkempt Xu Ke

The old castle looked close, but it was actually three or four miles away.It is the main shooting location of the movie "Butterfly Change", the weird and unpredictable Shenjiabao in the movie.

I didn't know what kind of movie I was shooting, but I actually built such a castle-shaped building, so that Xu Ke could just shoot here.

When the car drove along the rugged path to the vicinity of the castle, it was stopped by the staff of the crew, "What are you doing? You are filming ahead. If it's sightseeing, come back another day."

"We are friends of Director Xu Ke, we know he is filming here, so we came to see him." Xu Guanwu poked his head out and said.

"Oh, I'm so welcome. It's such a big Chinese New Year, you can still come to this wilderness." The staff member suddenly said excitedly, "Please come in, please come in, the director is leading people to film in the castle, you guys Just be careful when you go in, and don't get in front of the camera."

"Okay, thank you." Xu Guanwu nodded, "By the way, your voice sounds like a Hong Kong person. It's really pitiful that you can't go home to celebrate the New Year."

"Well, people in this industry are like this. The boss has to catch up with the schedule, so how can we not work overtime and shoot more?" The staff member sighed, "I'm not bad, I still have two days off. The director never Since filming, I have never had a break. I even sleep on the set, which is much harder than ours."

"Hehe, then he is so cruel to himself, so he must be strict with you?" Xu Guanwu couldn't help laughing after hearing this.

"Who says it's not? The scene management like us is better. We don't always hang around in front of the director, so we don't get scolded much. Like those scene notes, photography, the actors scolded hard. It's really not going well. Putting on face." The staff curled his lips and said, "By the way, sir, don't you say you are his friend, then please help us to intercede and let him calm down?"

"Okay, I will help you convey this opinion, but I can't guarantee whether he will listen or not." Xu Guanwu nodded and said.

Xu Ke has always been known as a "tyrant" in the Hong Kong film industry. He has always insisted on his own opinion and is arbitrary. When he is a director, he can kill the producer, and when he is a producer, he can kill the director.

Although "A Chinese Ghost Story" is directed by Cheng Xiaodong, in fact, a discerning person can tell at a glance that the film is completely produced by the producer Xu Ke, and Cheng Xiaodong is at best an executive director.

The most famous incident is that he and Hu Jinquan co-produced "Swordsman".The hurt director Hu Da finally got sick from anger. It was originally a very classic cooperation, but in the end it could only end in a turn of events.

However, seemingly talented directors like to be stubborn, which to a certain extent represents their confidence in themselves.It seems that the "King of Hollywood" James Cameron, the famous director Michael Bay, the great director Chang Cheh, etc. all have the reputation of being a tyrant on the set.

……

After bidding farewell to the field manager, Xu Guanwu and his party continued on their way, arriving in front of the castle in a short while.

Taking Lin Qingxia out of the car together, the two of them walked into the castle.

The inside of the castle was much more lively than the outside. There were twenty or thirty people standing in the courtyard, all nervously watching the circle, and there were three actors in the circle filming a fighting scene.Xu Guanwu could tell at a glance that it seemed to be the last shopping scene in "Butterfly Change".

Although Hong Kong movies are dubbed in post-production and do not have live sound recording, everyone did not speak, but watched nervously.Cameraman, lighting engineer, props engineer, demolition engineer...all perform their duties, only the sound of the camera clicking, the demolition engineer pressing the button in his hand from time to time, while the lighting engineer has been controlling the light source...

"CUT! Next one!" At this moment, a loud voice suddenly shouted, "Props master, hurry up and arrange the props; actor, go and touch up the makeup; makeup artist, hurry up and do it!" , What are you doing there? Photographer, did you catch the explosion just now?"

"Ah Wu, this director sounds quite hot-tempered." Lin Qingxia couldn't help laughing after hearing Xu Ke's series of roars.

Xu Guanwu also nodded. He has watched the filming many times, and Xu Ke's words are the most powerful, just like a supervisor wielding a whip.In comparison, Hong Jingbao, Cheng Long, these martial artists are simply good people.

Following the sound, Xu Guanwu and Lin Qingxia walked over together.

The staff were all doing their own thing, and the recorder in charge of managing the set, seeing Xu Guanwu and Zhao Yazhi's clothes, knew that they were not ordinary people, so they didn't dare to stop them, so they walked all the way to Director Xu Ke.

Seeing Xu Ke for the first time, Xu Guanwu couldn't help being surprised.I saw him wearing a dirty cotton jacket with oil stains on it, which seemed to have not been washed for many days.His hair was also disheveled, and the beard on his chin was an inch long.The whole person is thin and small, looks like a South Vietnamese refugee.

"Director Xu Ke is too slovenly. Gui Zhihong looks much cleaner than him." Xu Guanwu couldn't help but muttered to himself.

Gui Zhihong is already among the many directors of the Xu family, the one who pays the least attention to dressing, and wears that black suit every day.Even in the scorching summer sun, he was still dressed in black, making people sweat for him.Of course, this may also be because he lives alone, so there is no woman to take care of him.

But now it seems that Xu Ke is obviously better. Although Gui Zhihong only wears that set of clothes, he is still clean.But Xu Ke's clothes hadn't been washed for a long time, and they already gave off a strange smell.

Xu Guanwu wrinkled his nose slightly, and was about to go up to say hello.At this time, Xu Ke, who was giving orders like a general, subconsciously noticed someone coming from behind, and couldn't help turning his head back suddenly, and then saw two strange men and women standing there, frowning if they didn't enter, " Record, record, where did you die? How did you do things, what did you put irrelevant people in for?"

Immediately, I saw a scene reporter with a gray face running over, "Director, director, I'm sorry, I'll coax them away immediately."

Then he turned the gun and yelled at Xu Guanwu and Lin Qingxia, "Who let you in, don't you know you're filming? Get out, get out!"

Xu Guanwu couldn't help smiling slightly, Chongchang Ji waved his hand, telling him to step aside.

At that scene, he was upset because of being scolded, and was about to vent his anger at the two chief culprits, but when he saw Xu Guanwu wave his hand at him, he was suffocated by the aura he emitted, but he retreated involuntarily.

"Director Xu, let me introduce myself, Xu Guanwu." Xu Guanwu then stepped forward and said to Xu Ke with a smile.

"I don't care what your name is..." Xu Ke waved his hands in disgust. Recently, too many such messy people have come to him, or asked him to make a movie, or provided him with actors, or recommended themselves to him Wait, let him be annoyed and annoyed.Therefore, the first time he saw Xu Guanwu and Lin Qingxia, two strangers, he subconsciously thought that they were talking again, and he couldn't help saying it with some disgust.

Xu Guanwu's smile froze. He didn't expect Xu Ke to be a second-hander, and he had never even heard of his name.He even gave him a closed door in public, and it was almost laughable to spread the word.

Lin Qingxia couldn't help laughing out loud behind her, and the branches of her laughter trembled wildly.In the past, I always saw that Xu Guanwu was sought after by everyone, and the news of his name was always invincible, and everyone who heard it was invincible.Unexpectedly, today he was deflated in front of this unattractive director. It really capsized in the gutter.

"Wait, what did you say is your name?" After Xu Ke replied instinctively, he immediately realized that something was wrong, and after thinking about it carefully in his mind, he immediately turned his head around, looked Xu Guanwu up and down and asked.

"Xu Guanwu." Xu Guanwu replied with a little embarrassment. It was the first time he encountered such an embarrassing thing, and he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

"Xu Guanwu?! Could it be that you are Mr. Xu Guanwu, the boss of Xu's film company?" Xu Ke finally came to his senses and asked in disbelief.

Xu Guanwu nodded, "That's right, it's me."

Although Xu Ke wasn't overjoyed, he couldn't help being stunned, "Mr. Xu, why did you appear here today?" He couldn't help asking in doubt.

Although Xu Ke has not been back to Hong Kong for a long time, he has already heard of Xu Guanwu's name.In his opinion, it is a very remarkable thing for a Hong Kong filmmaker to make such a big name in Hollywood.

Xu Ke studied abroad in the United States and studied film majors.Naturally, he also has a certain understanding of the American film market.I know how difficult it is to make a name for yourself in Hollywood.Not to mention that Xu Guanwu is still a foreigner, and he is naturally rejected by the American film school.

So Xu Guanwu was able to achieve today's achievements, it is really a very remarkable thing.Xu Ke, as a Hong Kong native, also feels very proud.So when I saw Xu Guanwu today, I couldn't help being a little excited and surprised.

Excited to finally see Xu Guanwu's real body, but surprised by why Xu Guanwu came here?With his wealth and status today, how could he travel thousands of miles to Taiwan to see him? Is there really some mystery behind this?
Even though Xu Ke was called Old Freak Xu, he had a much more imaginative mind than ordinary people, but no matter how much he fantasized, he couldn't find a reason why Xu Guanwu came here today, which really puzzled him.

"I went back to Taiwan with Qingxia to visit relatives. I saw you were filming here in the newspaper, so I stopped by to visit work." Xu Guanwu explained with a smile.

Xu Ke couldn't help but twitched his cheeks when he heard this, "This is Taipei County, not Taipei City, and it's in the wilderness, you said to come by? Where is the way?"

Lin Qingxia originally wore sunglasses and a scarf to conceal herself, but now that Xu Guanwu introduced herself this way, she knew that her whereabouts were exposed and she no longer needed to hide her whereabouts, so she took off her scarf and sunglasses, and smiled at Xu Ke.

Xu Ke saw a beautiful woman who was overwhelmed by the country and the city, suddenly appeared in front of him, and smiled at himself, unavoidably a little lost, his eyes began to blur.

"Director Xu, Director Xu..." Seeing this, Xu Guanwu quickly stretched out his hand and waved it in front of his eyes.He thought that Lin Qingxia really deserved to be the most perfect woman in Xu Ke's mind, and it was the first time they met today, and just this smile made him bow down under the pomegranate skirt.

Xu Ke finally came back to his senses, and couldn't help blushing in embarrassment, "Mr. Xu, why did you come to visit my class? It seems that we didn't know each other before?"

"Yes, that's right. We did not know each other before, but I have been following your works for a long time." Xu Guanwu couldn't help but said with a smile.

Xu Ke became more and more puzzled after hearing this, "Mr. Xu, this movie is my directorial debut. I have never made a movie before. Where did this work come from?"

"Have you forgotten that you filmed a TV series on Jiayi TV before? That "Golden Knife Lover" was very good and very innovative." Xu Guanwu said with a smile.

"Mr. Xu also knows about that work?" Xu Ke was even more surprised. A TV series with only nine episodes not only made him appreciate by Wu Siyuan, but now there is another Xu Guanwu who said he liked him very much. This TV series is really weird!
