The king of ghost horse comedy

Chapter 580 Going to America to Film? !

It's just that it's hard for him to express his small thoughts. After all, no one can understand Xu Guanwu's thoughts. Maybe he is very sensitive to his identity as the black boss?After all, he is still a legitimate businessman in name, if he hooks up with the hidden black boss, I am afraid he will be quite dissatisfied.

So Uncle Cai and Liu Zhenwei looked at each other, but they didn't answer Xu Guanwu's question, they just begged Xu Guanwu to take the money back.

Xu Guanwu hates people talking hesitantly, as if they are shameless.Seeing that Uncle Cai and Liu Zhenwei were evasive, and their words were not clear and inaccurate, they couldn't help feeling a little disgusted. "Forget it, since the money is given to you, you just take it and push it back, because you think I can't afford it?"

When Uncle Cai saw that Xu Guanwu was angry, he couldn't help but feel a twinge in his heart, and almost knelt down for Xu Guanwu.It is said that the older you are, the less courageous you are. Uncle Cai has been working hard in the arena for half his life, and his experience is naturally not comparable to that of ordinary youngsters who have just come out of the arena.

He has personally seen some gang leaders who were majestic and white-faced just now, and then they were fucked and turned to the ground in an instant, and their flesh and blood were bloody from the beating.I also know that some bigwigs who used to have a very famous name turned into beggars on the street in the end.So Uncle Cai has experienced too many things, so he naturally feels awe of Jianghu.Especially for a big boss like Xu Guanwu, he really can't afford to mess with him.Seeing Xu Guanwu angry now, Uncle Cai knew that something was going to go wrong, and was about to say something, when he heard someone shout, "Mr. Xu!"

Hearing this voice, Uncle Cai felt like a lightning strike. When he turned around, he saw Yu Yunkang standing beside him, and he couldn't help but startled him a lot.

Yu Yunkang couldn't help being taken aback when he saw Uncle Cai, Liu Zhenwei and others, but with Xu Guanwu in front of him, he was too embarrassed to ask, so he had to stand behind Xu Guanwu first.

Xu Guanwu smiled at him, "Very well, today's complexion looks much better than yesterday. You can wait here for a while, and I will take you up to go through the entry procedures."

"Thank you Mr. Xu." Yu Yunkang said with an embarrassed smile.

In front of them, Uncle Cai and Liu Zhenwei opened their mouths wide and looked at the interaction between Xu Guanwu and Yu Yunkang in surprise. They felt that these two people had a very close relationship.

What kind of identity is Xu Guanwu, and he is willing to personally bring someone to go through the entry procedures.If you say that this person has nothing to do with him, would you believe it? !

Uncle Cai suddenly closed his mouth, plopped and knelt down in front of Xu Guanwu, "Mr. Xu, I have seniors and juniors, please let me go, and I will kowtow to you here." He cried out in a mournful voice road.

Xu Guanwu was taken aback by his kneeling, jumped up from the sofa, pointed at Uncle Cai and asked Liu Zhenwei in surprise, "What's wrong with him, is it a psychotic attack?"

Liu Zhenwei was also dumbfounded. To be honest, although he has not been in the company for a long time, when he met Uncle Cai in the past, he always acted like a big brother with wisdom in his hands and a cunning plan.Never thought that it would be like today, almost like a beggar on the street, how can there be a bit of big brother style?

"You get up and talk first." Xu Guanwu couldn't help scolding in displeasure when he saw that everyone in the hall was looking at him curiously.

Hearing Xu Guanwu's sharp tone, Uncle Cai didn't dare to disobey, so he stood up quickly.

Xu Guanwu looked at him angrily, "If you have something to say, why do you play this trick? Who do you think I am, a murderous devil without blinking an eye, or a psychopath who murders the whole family?"

Uncle Cai lowered his head and dared not say a word.

Xu Guanwu waved his hand, "Take the check back. It's the rules of the world, and I don't want you to return it. I don't want to be said that I broke the rules. If you really think the money is too much, then take the money from the movie "Mountain Dog". Give me a copy, maybe it’s useless for you to keep it.”

"Okay, okay, what Mr. Xu says is what he says." Uncle Cai responded quickly.

"Okay, go back early if you have nothing to do." Xu Guanwu waved his hand.

As if he had received an amnesty, Uncle Cai quickly took Liu Zhenwei and others away.

Seeing them leaving in a hurry, Xu Guanwu couldn't help shaking his head with a smile, thinking that it's a pity that Patriarch Bodhi is gone. Why did he follow such a big brother?

"Mr. Xu, the film "Mountain Dog" has been banned in Hong Kong. Even if you buy a copy now, it will not be screened in Hong Kong at all." Yu Yunkang said worriedly.

"Who said I'm going to show it in Hong Kong?" Xu Guanwu smiled and said, "I plan to show it in the United States."

Yu Yunkang almost didn't faint after hearing these words, "Really?"

"Why, you don't want to?" Xu Guanwu asked in surprise.

"No, I'm too willing." Yu Yunkang laughed quickly, "It's just that I never expected my movie to be released in the United States."

Xu Guanwu smiled, "This is not an extravagant hope. In fact, your film is not suitable for release in Hong Kong, but it is quite suitable for release in the United States, Japan and other countries that like horror movies. Just like this "Mountain Dog", Hong Kong people watched it." I feel uncomfortable, and I am not used to such bloody and violent scenes. But for those fans in Europe, America and Japan who love heavy tastes, this movie is very good."

Yu Yunkang couldn't help being very happy when Xu Guanwu said this, "I never thought that Mr. Xu's research on film is so thorough. I really admire it. I remember that Mr. Xu seems to have invested in shooting some horror films in the United States. Last year, I I’ve seen it before, and to be honest, it’s really good.”

Xu Guanwu smiled, "Then do you have any idea of ​​filming in the United States?"

"Uh..." Yu Yunkang was taken aback for a moment, then smiled, "Of course I have, I studied film abroad, but Hollywood is not very friendly to the Chinese, so I can only go back to Hong Kong first. "

"Then if I say I will send you to Hollywood to film, what do you think?" Xu Guanwu asked with a smile.

An expression of disbelief appeared on Yu Yunkang's face, "Mr. Xu, are you serious or joking?"

Xu Guanwu smiled, "There is a ghost movie this year, and there is already a script, but I haven't found a director yet. I want to send you to try it. Do you have confidence in yourself?"

Yu Yunkang was so excited that he almost fainted, "Yes, yes, Mr. Xu, I am confident. Leave it to me, and I will definitely take good pictures."

Xu Guanwu smiled, "Very well, go through the entry procedures first, and talk in detail in my office later."

Yu Yunkang nodded happily, and followed Xu Guanwu upstairs to the personnel department to complete the entry procedures, and signed a three plus two contract in advance.That is, Yu Yunkang will serve the Xu family within three years, and if he performs well in the remaining two years, then he will automatically renew his contract for another two years.If his performance is mediocre and the company doesn't want to use his words, then the contract will not be renewed for those two years.

The Xu Group's contract is very different from the contract Yu Yunkang signed before.Yu Yunkang signed a monologue contract with Century Film Company, which stipulated how many films Yu Yunkang would shoot for the company, how much the film would usually be paid, and agreed on the share ratio, etc.This is also the contract style commonly offered by many independent film companies.
In previous lives, film companies in Hong Kong generally signed such contracts, because this kind of contract is convenient and flexible. The film company does not need to pay a large signing fee to sign a long-term contract with the star, and the star can also have a variety of choices, as long as the schedule is allocated well. , You can deal with many film companies to make films.So this way of signing is well received.

Of course, this signing method is not without its disadvantages. The first disadvantage is that the schedules of big-name stars are not easy to arrange. Although they have contracts, it is useless if they cannot be scheduled.Even if the schedule is barely arranged and the filming is casually rushed for a while, the quality of the film is really difficult to guarantee. At the end of the 80s and the beginning of the 90s, the golden age of Hong Kong movies, many star actors produced several movies a year, knowing that they were too busy, but they still signed contracts and signed golden photos.In the end, there were too many bad films and too few good films, and because of this, I lost overseas markets such as Nanyang and Taiwan one after another.

The second disadvantage is that the flow of talents is too fast. If only the first contract is signed but not the long-term contract, the actor will leave as soon as he becomes popular.The film company is naturally unwilling to welcome newcomers.They all invite well-known movie stars to film, and naturally the old people occupy the main resources, but the newcomers cannot get the resources to support them. If things go on like this, it will naturally form a generational gap.

Take the kung fu stars in Hong Kong as an example, Cheng Long, Hong Jingbao, Jet Li, Donnie Yen, etc. are all kung fu stars who debuted in the 80s and 90s, but it is rare to see popular kung fu stars who can fight after them.Fan Shaohuang, An Zhijie and Wu Jing are considered to be the best among them, but compared with their predecessors, they are far behind in terms of fame and works.Talents are basically broken in the [-]s.

Xu Guanwu also knows the dangers of a long-term contract, so he would rather spend a little more money and sign a long-term contract with his employees.Yu Yunkang's contract is already considered short in Xu's. People like Zhang Guorong, Alan Tam, Cheng Long, Hong Jingbao and others all have ten plus five contracts.One signing is a ten-year long-term contract, and after ten years there is a five-year contract renewal, which basically covers an actor's entire golden acting career.

Although the ten-plus-five model contract was once criticized by some employees because of its too long period, many employees rushed to sign it because of the favorable conditions offered by Xu Guanwu.For example, Xu Guanwu designated the day when the employee signed a contract with the company as the "wedding day", meaning that the employee married the company, or the employee married the company. On this day, in addition to sending greeting cards, he will also present a beautiful wedding ceremony Gift.The value of the wedding gift is calculated according to the length of service of the employee. The longer the working time for the company, the richer the reward will be.At present, the one who works for seven years will be a car, and the one who works for 15 years may be a house.

In addition to gifts, the salary will also be raised every year according to the length of service. In addition to the length of service, the performance of the previous year will also be referred to. If the performance is excellent, the salary may even be doubled.Especially this one is the most important for actors. If an actor becomes popular, not only will his salary increase, but his wages will also increase.So for such a loving and righteous company, people naturally rushed to sign contracts.

Because Shaw and Jiahe were afraid of Xu's prying corner, they basically signed long-term contracts with actors, especially Shaw's long-term contract was longer than Xu's, but the treatment was not as good as Xu's, so they often signed long-term contracts with actors. Will be spat by its employees.

After Yu Yunkang signed the contract with Xu, and paid a month's salary in advance at the Finance Department, he went to his office on the top floor with Xu Guanwu.

Although Xu Guanwu has resigned as the general manager of the Xu Group, his office is still kept, and it is cleaned regularly, so even if he hasn't come back for a while, it is still spotless and clean.

When Yu Yunkang came to Xu Guanwu's office for the first time, he couldn't help being taken aback by the luxurious decoration inside.I watched it with my mouth open for a long time, and finally came back to my senses.Seeing Xu Guanwu looking at him with a smile, Yu Yunkang couldn't help but blush, "Mr. Xu, your office is so beautiful that I couldn't help but look dumbfounded. I'm really sorry."

"There's nothing to be embarrassed about. If you're not surprised, then I'd be surprised." Xu Guanwu smiled, "Sit down, and I'll tell you about that ghost movie."

Yu Yunkang sat down obediently.

Xu Guanwu then poured two cups of coffee, and handed one to Yu Yunkang, "The story of this film is like this, there was a tragedy on Elm Street..."
