The king of ghost horse comedy

Chapter 508

"Look for help from Mrs. Xu?!" Wu Siyuan and Xu Ke looked at her in surprise, feeling that her proposal was really scary enough.

"What's wrong?! Can't you ask Xu for help?" Shi Nansheng looked at Wu Siyuan and Xu Kedao, "Xu went to visit the class during the Spring Festival, and then came to participate in the premiere, and now he is helping with publicity, obviously there is a solicitation Meaning. So why don't we take refuge in the past?"

"It's not that simple. If the Xu family is like Jiahe, then what should we do? We just came out of the wolf's den and into the tiger's den?" Wu Siyuan waved his hands and said, "This idea is really bad, let's think about another one. "

"Mr. Wu, in fact, you don't have to worry so much. It is a well-known fact in Hong Kong that Xu's treatment of its employees is excellent. I believe that even if we defect to the past, we will not be annexed like in Golden Harvest." Shi Nansheng smiled. He smiled and said, "Besides, there is no other way to go now. Unless Mr. Wu is powerful enough to find other rich people to invest in, otherwise we have no way to fight Jiahe."

"But we still have a contract with Jiahe, which is legally binding." Wu Siyuan waved his hand and said, "If Jiahe sues us at that time, it will be another big trouble. Even the Xu family can hardly protect us."

"Mr. Wu, this requires you to break your wrists. I think it's better to simply let Siyuan Film Company go bankrupt." Shi Nansheng suggested, "After the bankruptcy, these contracts can be ignored, and then we will start again. Take Mr. Wu With your qualifications, Xu Ke's talent, and Xu's financial resources, I think you can make a comeback soon."

"Are you crazy and want me to close the company?" Wu Siyuan shouted in surprise when he heard the boy's words, "Impossible, Siyuan Film Company is my painstaking effort, and I will never leave it behind. "

"Mr. Wu, you must continue to be disturbed by it. Siyuan Film Company has been swallowed up by Golden Harvest. If you don't leave now, I'm afraid he will swallow you even." Shi Nansheng persuaded, "At that time, Siyuan Film Company will be in other people's hands. If you still want to keep this company, you must serve Golden Harvest all the time. And if you have the slightest intention to resist, they will directly destroy Siyuan. When the time comes You still don't get a penny."

"But..." Wu Siyuan listened to Shi Nansheng's words. Although he felt that it made sense, he still couldn't give up. After all, Siyuan Film Company was his brainchild, and it was like his son and daughter. It was a pity for him to go bankrupt.

"It's nothing to worry about, Mr. Wu, you have to make up your mind as soon as possible. Golden Harvest won't give you too much time." Shi Nansheng persuaded, "Now they have downloaded "Butterfly Transformation", which means they have sent out the final Ultimatum, it is estimated that within two days they will force you into the palace. At that time, you will be unable to support yourself, and you will not be able to hold on for long."

"But we had no relationship with the Xu family before, and now we rashly want to invest in it, and I don't know what they mean." Wu Siyuan hesitated and said, "If they don't want to take over, then why not Did you make a mistake?"

"Mr. Wu, if you trust me, I will speak to them on behalf of the company." Shi Nansheng smiled and said, "Anyway, I'm just an unknown junior, so there's nothing shameful about being rejected."

"All right, Miss Shi." Wu Siyuan nodded, "I'll leave everything to you."

"Don't worry, Mr. Wu, I will do my best." After Shi Nansheng finished speaking, he immediately left the company and went straight to Xu's.

Wu Siyuan glanced at Xu Ke, "Miss Shi is indeed a hero among girls, Xu Ke, you must not miss her."

Xu Ke couldn't help blushing when he said this, "Mr. Wu, don't make fun of me, I have nothing to do with her."

"Nonsense, it's nothing, she will give up her high-paying job at Jiayi TV Station and come to my small company with you?" Wu Siyuan smiled and said, "Don't be too reserved, take the initiative when it's time to take the initiative. Could it be Are you not as courageous as your daughter's family?"

"Mr. Wu, it's better not to talk about me. What should we do if we join the Xu family this time?" Xu Ke asked Wu Siyuan.

"There's nothing to do. Siyuan Film Company still has more than 100 million Hong Kong dollars in its account, and there are more than a dozen film copyrights in its film library, which are worth about 800 million Hong Kong dollars in total." Wu Siyuan said with a wry smile. , "I used to think that my company was good. It was better than the top and the bottom. I didn't expect that this was the last calculation. Compared with Jiahe and Xu's, I was not as good as a hair. Fortunately, I still made my debut It's really embarrassing to be an old senior for many years."

"Actually, I blame Jiahe for being too ruthless. Originally, "Butterfly Transformation" could make money, but I didn't expect them to forcibly take down the painting. It is really indignant." Xu Ke said.

"Well, actually, I should have known that Golden Harvest was unreliable. At the beginning, the Xu Brothers' film did not know how much money Golden Harvest made. It made up for the gap left by Bruce Lee's sudden death, and allowed Golden Harvest to continue to compete with Shaw Brothers. As a result Because of Zou Wenhuai and He Guanchang's inability to tolerate others, the Xu brothers were forced to leave." Wu Siyuan sighed, "If I knew they were so narrow-minded, I shouldn't have cooperated with them."

"Well, at first I also thought that Golden Harvest was a great company that supported so many independent film companies. I didn't expect that he would control these companies through theater chains, and then gradually annex them." Xu Ke also said contemptuously , "It's no wonder they are getting more and more unpopular."

"That's right, as far as I know, even the Yuan brothers are planning to leave." Wu Siyuan said with a gleeful smile, "The Yuan brothers have fought for Jiahe in the past few years, but the gains are minimal. Seeing that Hong Jingbao, Cheng Long A group of people have gone international, but they are still working hard here in Hong Kong, earning less than one-tenth of their income. Therefore, Yuan Jiaban has long since turned against him, but now no company dares to hire them. "

"Why don't they go to the Xu family? Isn't the Xu family always likes to recruit talents?" Xu Ke asked suspiciously.

"It's better to be a chicken head than a cow queen. Since the Xu family already has a Hong family class and a family class, I heard that Yuan Biao also plans to form a class by himself. In the future, there are already three major kung fu classes. And they are all brothers." , with the same spirit, and naturally the guns are the same. The Yuan Jiaban brothers may not be highly valued if they go, and they will inevitably be squeezed out by other martial artists." Wu Siyuan shook his head and said, "So they don't plan to join the Xu family .”

"But how can other small film companies have the financial resources to support the Yuan family?" Xu Ke sighed and said, "Shaw Brothers' films are in decline now, even if they are still as prosperous as before, they still have the Liu family. The family class. The Yuan family brothers are equally unlikely to be reused."

"In fact, the times make heroes. The Yuan Jiaban brothers have talents, but they have no stage to show them off." Wu Siyuan smiled and said, "Aspirations are hard to relax, and talents are not appreciated, which is one of the most painful things in a person's life."

"If I hadn't met Mr. Wu, I wouldn't have had the chance to make a movie." Xu Ke said with a smile.

"Well, I'm just one step ahead of you. In fact, if it was a little later, if you took refuge in the Xu family, you must have achieved even higher achievements now." Wu Siyuan waved his hands.

"That's hard to say. I heard that when Xu's films are made, they have to go through the review of the seven-member team in advance. You know me as a person. I like to do things without restraint." Xu Ke smiled and said, "If I Entering the Xu family, I'm afraid I can't even pass a movie. And even if I pass, there will be strict supervision by the producer when making a movie, how can I bear it?"

"Actually, you should change your temper. It's a good thing that someone is watching you. It's like Gui Zhihong from the Xu family. He almost killed himself while making a film. The films are getting more and more exciting and more and more popular. I profit, the company is also happy, and the audience is also happy, so why not do it." Wu Siyuan smiled and said, "If this "Butterfly Change" follows the I made it with my heart, and it is better than the current box office. I told you earlier that I would let Fang Hongye fight in the end. You insisted that the protagonist’s inability to martial arts is the feature of this movie. You can see the reaction of the audience. What a disappointment."

"Actually, this was specially arranged by me. It's just that Hong Kong audiences can't understand it." Xu Ke blushed a little and said, "This movie hurt Mr. Wu and you can't make money. I will do a good job in the next movie."

"Forget it, it's useless to talk about it now." Wu Siyuan waved his hand and said, "I only hope that Miss Shi can get us a good deal after she goes."

Hearing what Wu Siyuan said, Xu Ke couldn't help but nodded.

……

The top floor of Xu's headquarters, Xu Guanwu's office.

"What?! A lady named Shi Nansheng is looking for me?" Xu Guanwu couldn't help being a little surprised when his assistant came to report.

Shi Nansheng, Xu Ke's wife, one of the Seven Monsters of New Art City, is responsible for managing the company's accounts and is a veritable housekeeper.And it is precisely because Shi Nansheng is behind the scenes that the rear of New Art City is as stable as Mount Tai, and it is possible to achieve such good results in the 80s.

The reason why Xu Ke became one of the most famous directors in Hong Kong is actually inseparable from the help of Shi Nansheng.In the early days, Xu Ke came back from studying in the United States and joined Jiayi TV because he was appreciated by Shi Nansheng.Afterwards, he was able to immediately become a director at Jiayi TV Station because of Shi Nansheng's extraordinary promotion.

Later, because of the filming of "Butterfly Change", "No Door to Hell", and "The First Type of Danger" dark trilogy before and after Siyuan Pictures, the box office suffered disastrous failures one after another. Xu Ke fell to the point where no one was invited.Shi Nansheng still stayed by Xu Ke's side during that time.

In the end, Xinyicheng, who was thirsty for talents and eager to make a big splash, recruited Xu Ke, who had a great reputation but a poor reputation, into the company.Shi Nansheng also entered New Art City with him, and was used to being a member of the management team. He immediately put together the chaotic administrative system of New Art City, laying the foundation for the rapid development of New Art City in the future.

Then Xu Ke fell out with New Art City and became independent to start a film studio. It was Shi Nansheng who was in charge of the administration of the film studio, so that Mr. Xu always had the funds to shoot new films.Otherwise, depending on how much money Mr. Xu has and how much money he can spend, the film studio may close down after making a movie.

Shi Nansheng is the woman behind Xu Ke and his career helper. The two have always been regarded as a model couple in the Hong Kong film industry.It's just a pity that no matter how perfect a husband and wife team is, there will be a time when they finally disintegrate, and the two finally end up in divorce, which makes people can't help but sigh.

Xu Guanwu knew the details of the Seven Monsters of the New Art City very well. Except for the actor Ishida, no one else seemed to be able to replace him.Actor Ishida was a second-tier comedian in Hong Kong at the time. He was among Shaw Brothers, Golden Harvest and independent film companies. Because he was the only well-known actor in Struggle Film Company at that time, and he was well-known in the Hong Kong film industry. Struggle Film Company became the second boss.

Later, Lei Daheng acquired Struggle Film Company, and Ishida also took advantage of the opportunity to become the second boss of New Art City. In fact, his contribution to the company was not great.In the early days, New Art City was short of actors when it opened. He played the leading role in several films, and his position is still relatively important.However, with the development of New Art City, Ishida's position was gradually replaced, but his shares in the company were still the second largest.

Not doing anything but earning dividends, naturally made other people very dissatisfied, which also led to the separation of the family later.
