The king of ghost horse comedy

Chapter 46 Going to America? !

As soon as Xu Guanwu returned home, he received a call from Mr. He Guanchang from Golden Harvest, asking him to go to the Peninsula Cafe to discuss something.

Xu Guanwu was puzzled by the fact that he received a call from Mr. He Guanchang, wondering what he and Mr. He had to talk about.

"Could it be that you plan to spend a lot of money to lure me to quit? That would be too ridiculous." Thinking of this, Xu Guanwu couldn't help laughing.

When I came to the Peninsula Cafe, I saw that Mr. He Guanchang was already waiting there.

"Mr. He, hello." Xu Guanwu greeted neither humble nor overbearing.

"Mr. Xu, it's been a long time. I heard that your "Ghost and Horse" has a very good box office in Taiwan. I really deserve congratulations." He Guanchang greeted.

"Thank you very much." Seeing that he kept talking in circles, Xu Guanwu never said the real reason for inviting him here, so he had no choice but to follow him.

Both of them refilled two cups of coffee, chatting until their mouths were a little dry, He Guanchang saw that Xu Guanwu didn't ask why, so he had no choice but to cut to the chase: "Mr. Zou wants to open a branch of Golden Harvest in North America to invest in North American films. He and I both hope that you can be the manager of the branch. Mr. Xu, what do you think?"

"Cough!" Xu Guanwu choked on a sip of coffee, his coughing cheeks flushed, "Mr. He is joking, right? I, He Dehe, can be qualified for the position of branch manager?"

"Mr. Xu, you don't have to be too modest. In fact, from the founding of the Xu Brothers Company, to the midnight screening of "Ghost and Horse Twin Stars", as well as that album that sold like crazy, all of these prove your foresight." He Guanchang laughed.

Xu Guanwu was taken aback. He pioneered the midnight show system and wrote songs for Ah SAM. These two things are not secrets. He Guanchang knows it.How come the establishment of the Xu Brothers Company was promoted by him behind the scenes? How did he know such secret news?
"Mr. He, you have really praised me. I am indeed not as talented as you said." Xu Guanwu was stunned for a while, and finally waved his hand and said, "Besides, I am very happy at Xu Brothers Company, there is no need to change jobs to Go to Jiahe."

"Mr. Xu, people go to high places, water flows to low places, and good birds choose trees to live in. Compared with Jiahe, Xu's is just a grain of sesame." With your talent, Mr. Xu Guanwen wrote and directed the film together. Mr. Xu Guanjie can sing and act. Even Mr. Xu Guanying is an excellent buffoon. They all enjoy the cheers and applause in front of everyone, only you hide behind the scenes and contribute silently."

"Why don't you come to our Golden Harvest Development Company, the North American branch is left to you." He Guanchang said quite provocatively.

Hearing what he said, Xu Guanwu also felt that it made sense.

In Xu Brothers Company, apart from providing script outlines and music scores, there is really nothing he can do at ordinary times.

As an actor, he has no acting skills and is afraid of suffering, and as a director, he has no qualifications. After thinking about it, he can only hide behind the scenes and watch the other three brothers become famous one after another.

"Mr. Xu, what else are you thinking about? There are watermelon on one side and sesame seeds on the other. Don't pick up the sesame seeds and lose the watermelon." Seeing Xu Guanwu pondering for a moment, He Guanchang knew that he must be tempted, and hurriedly increased his horsepower to preach.

"Mr. He, this matter is not trivial. I have to go back and think about it. Can I give you an answer in a few days?" Xu Guanwu thought and thought, but still couldn't make up his mind.

"Okay, Mr. Xu, don't worry, our Golden Harvest door will always be open to you." He Guanchang smiled very generously.

Xu Guanwu nodded and drank the coffee in his cup.

……

After returning home, Xu Guanwu found Xu Guanwen immediately.

"Golden Harvest wants to send you to the United States as a branch manager?" Xu Guanwen was also a little surprised when he heard the news.

Xu Guanwu nodded, "Brother, do you think it would be better for me to go or not?"

"This..." Xu Guanwen couldn't answer for a moment.

The Xu Brothers Company can't compare to Jiahe's in any case. For the sake of my younger brother's career, it is indeed a better choice to go to Jiahe.

But Xu Guanwen was reluctant to let go, because although the second brother was silent, he had already helped him a lot.

The three films "Serpentine Hand", "Fat Qian Han", and "Genius and Idiot" were all planned by him, and he provided the outline of the story; Hong Jingbao, Yuan Lou, Yuan Biao and other martial artists were also recruited by him. ...

It can be said that Xu Guanwu almost dominated the development of the entire company. If he went to Golden Harvest's US branch, then Xu Brothers would really not know how to develop in the future.

"Second brother, it's very dangerous for you to go to the United States alone. You are not familiar with the place. Besides, it has only recently opened, and there are many things and few people. After you go, you will be a cow to open up wasteland. If you do well, you can only earn money. With that salary, if you don’t do well and you will be scolded, it’s better to stay here in Hong Kong and enjoy the blessings.” Xu Guanwen thought for a while.

Xu Guanwu nodded, neither agreed not to go, nor said he wanted to go, he also wanted to ask other people's opinions.

……

Huada Studio, the crew of "Fat Qian Han".

Xu Guanwu found Zhao Yazhi who was watching and studying.

"Ah Wu, why do you have time to come here?" Zhao Yazhi was a little surprised when she saw Xu Guanwu.

Ever since the relationship between the two was established, when Zhao Yazhi was filming, Xu Guanwu rarely came over.

Zhao Yazhi knew that Xu Guanwu didn't want to see her make emotional scenes with other actors, and she also insisted that she never shoot intimate scenes, lest Xu Guanwu be misunderstood by bad scandals.

"Azhi, come here, I have something to tell you." Xu Guanwu stood at the door and waved, without entering the studio.

Zhao Yazhi saw that Xu Guanwu's serious expression was different from the usual one, and she couldn't help feeling a little puzzled, "Ah Wu, what's wrong with you? You seem to have something on your mind."

Xu Guanwu told Zhao Yazhi about Jiahe's invitation to go to the United States, "Azhi, do you think it would be better for me to go or not?"

Zhao Yazhi also hesitated for a moment.

For Xu Guanwu, going to Golden Harvest's US branch to be on his own is naturally more suitable than staying in Xu Brothers' company; but for her, Xu Guanwu is going to the United States, and she doesn't know how long she will stay.Over there, the lights are feasting, the beauties are like a cloud, if one of them loses control, something happens...

"Ah Wu, do you want to go or not?" Although Zhao Yazhi didn't want Xu Guanwu to go, she still kept it in her heart and didn't say it directly.

"I... I don't know either." Xu Guanwu just wanted to say that he was going to the United States, but he quickly changed his mind.

When he just crossed over, he originally planned to stay in Hong Kong, whether it was writing scripts or songs, he wanted to live a relaxed life anyway; Really bored.

And he is very clear that Hong Kong films will have a rapid improvement in the late 70s, and only then will they make a lot of money.

In the few years before this, he will not have much room for development.

Therefore, Xu Guanwu himself really wanted to go to the United States to see it.
