The king of ghost horse comedy

Chapter 608
Wu Siyuan heard that Xu Guanwu praised Xu Ke so much, for a while he didn't know whether he really liked Xu Ke, or he was digging holes for himself and waiting to watch the fun.

After all, Xu Ke shot these two works successively, and the box office was dismal, which really made Wu Siyuan unable to support it.Because of Xu Ke's two works, Wu Siyuan lost almost 200 million Hong Kong dollars, which basically made him lose almost the money he earned in the past few years.

Of course, if he borrows money from the bank, he can also make up for the cost of filming.But if he loses again, he will declare bankruptcy.So now he doubts whether Xu Guanwu deliberately flattered Xu Ke, so that he would spend money on Xu Ke's filming, and then lose everything.

After all, Xu Guanwu is the boss of the Xu Group, so it would be too unreasonable for him to flatter the directors under his arch-rival when he has nothing to do.The only feasible explanation is that Xu Guanwu will dig a hole for him again so that he can jump in by himself. This trick is included in Qianshu.

But if it's not Xu Guanwu's intentional digging, but Xu Ke is really a very talented director, then if he is given up now, will the previous 200 million be lost in vain?
Wu Siyuan was also in the fog for a while, and really didn't know what to do.

In the previous life, under the support of Wu Siyuan, Xu Ke successively made two films, "Butterfly Change" and "Hell Without Door". A representative New Wave director.So at that time, many film companies wanted to invite Xu Ke to film, but Wu Siyuan blocked it.

Wu Siyuan thought that Xu was a member of his own company, so it would be fine if he wanted to invite him to film. He would only let him go after giving him the money he lost in the previous two films.After all, the two films lost a lot of money. If they don't get it back, it's equivalent to raising Xu Ke for nothing.

Later, Wu Siyuan invested in Xu Ke to shoot the popular and thriller "The First Type of Danger". He thought it was about urban police and robbers, and it should not be difficult to sell at the box office.Unexpectedly, Xu Ke played Dafa again this time. He chose a few teenagers as the protagonists, made bombs to blow up theaters, and later fought with American mercenaries. Needless to say, the scenes were bloody, and the subject matter was too dark.

In addition, the movie involved a lot of hot news, and it was about juvenile crimes. The law and order in Hong Kong was not stable in those two years, so the movie "The First Danger" failed the review at the beginning, and then it was finally released. After catching up with several very cruel child gang crimes, "The First Danger" was immediately banned.

All three films lost money, and even the cost was not recovered.Now Wu Siyuan knew that he couldn't afford Xu Ke, so he had no choice but to respectfully invite this big Bodhisattva out of his small temple.

It is worth mentioning that the reason why Wu Siyuan was able to invest in Xu Ke to make three films in his previous life was mainly because he discovered Cheng Long, a superstar at that time, and he filmed "Serpentine Hand" and "Drunken Master" It has achieved a very high box office, so although Xu Ke is losing money here, Cheng Long is helping him make money on the other side, so he can still support it.

But in this life, Cheng Long was discovered early by Xu Guanwu, and "Drunken Master" and "Snake-shaped Hand" were not produced by Siyuan Film Company, which made him lose a lot of income.In addition, Wu Siyuan and Golden Harvest co-founded Siyuan Film Company. Although they have made more than a dozen movies and made money, Golden Harvest will also get a share of it, so there is not much left for Wu Siyuan.Coupled with the misfortune of Xu Ke, a prodigal son, Wu Siyuan almost lost his money, so naturally he is not as proud as his previous life.

……

After Zuo Qiuming and Qian Jiang asked Xu Guanwu two or three questions about the movie "No Doors to Hell" and the director Xu Ke, they felt that they were worthy of Wu Siyuan, so they changed the topic to Xu Guanwu's retirement life.

After Xu Guanwu retired, he seldom came out to do things again, but once he came out, it was a big event. A few days ago, he also planned to set up the Hong Kong Film Festival, and to present the Hong Kong Film Awards, which is really the most important event in the Hong Kong entertainment industry this year.

But apart from these known things, everyone wants to pay attention to what Xu Guanwu will do at other times, whether he has any new plans, whether he will come back again, etc.It's just that the number of interviews that Xu Guanwu accepts is limited, and they are only limited to his own media. Now that he has finally caught the opportunity, they still don't ask him to have a good time.

Xu Guanwu didn't hide it from them, so he told about his usual practice of calligraphy.When Zuo Qiuming and Qian Jiang heard this, they looked at each other in disbelief.

Ever since he became famous, Xu Guanwu, who is in Hong Kong and Hollywood, is mainly staying at home to practice calligraphy after retiring to the second line? !Don't say readers won't believe this news, even the two reporters don't believe it.Does it mean that tigers should eat grass if they don't eat meat?
They still hope to find big news, such as Xu Guanwu's intention to acquire the eight major Hollywood film companies, wow!As soon as the news is exposed, it will definitely sell well.Or perhaps Xu Guanwu fell in love with that female celebrity. Although the news was not as good, it was still a big hit.Or maybe Xu Guanwu is planning to come back out of the rivers and lakes, and is planning to acquire a listed company recently.Although it is not very popular, it is quite topical.

But if it is said that after Xu Guanwu retired, he cultivated his moral character and wrote calligraphy at home, only ghosts would read such articles.There is no breaking point, no peeing point, and nothing to watch. These three no news are just to fool people.According to the current words, you are insulting the IQ of our two brothers!
Seeing that they didn't believe it, Xu Guanwu had no choice but to talk to Xuan Li, saying that he was practicing calligraphy in name, but he was actually practicing a kind of qigong.This kind of qigong was handed down by Wang Xizhi, the calligrapher at that time. It is said that it was created based on Wuqinxi and Daoyin.

Hearing what Xu Guanwu said, whether it was true or not, Zuo Qiuming and Qian Jiang finally became excited.If this is written well, it is quite interesting. Of course, it would be better if there are more details.

"Mr. Xu, as far as I know, the calligrapher Wang Xizhi doesn't understand martial arts. Where is there any miraculous qigong handed down?" Zuo Qiuming asked curiously.

Xu Guanwu said nonsense, "It looks like you are uneducated. How can you forget the idiom 'three points into wood'? When Wang Xizhi wrote on paper, he penetrated the back of the paper, and the ink penetrated into the wooden board below as deep as three points. You say, if The Book Sage is just a frail scholar, would he have such strong strength?"

Zuo Qiuming and Qian Jiang looked at each other, and they all nodded in a sudden realization, "So it's because we are ignorant. I don't know how long Mr. Xu has practiced this qigong, how far he has practiced, and how far he has penetrated?"

Xu Guanwu laughed, "I just started practicing, and I don't even get a single point. Back then, Wang Xizhi passed on this qigong to his son, Wang Xianzhi. Wang Xianzhi had to practice eighteen tanks of water to master it. I haven't even finished practicing a tank of water now. , the first level of skill has not yet been achieved.”

When Zuo Qiuming and Qian Jiang heard this, they couldn't help sighing immediately, "No wonder Wang Xizhi and Wang Xianzhi are called two kings together, and their calligraphy is unrivaled in the world. It turns out that it's all because of practicing this set of qigong. It's really amazing."

Seeing that they believed his nonsense, Xu Guanwu couldn't help laughing triumphantly.

Zuo Qiuming and Qian Jiang were able to cope with their errands after receiving this exclusive interview, so they returned the negatives to Xu Guanwu.They also knew the seriousness, and publishing this photo would indeed bring them both fame and fortune, but it was really not worthwhile for them to offend Xu Guanwu completely, because it is said that Xu Guanwu has a gangster background, and he and Zheng Wenya were photographed at the beginning. The reporter who took the photo of the two dating has been missing for a long time now.The family members called the police but could not find anyone. Up to now, it is not even clear whether he is dead or alive.

Everyone in the industry said that Xu Guanwu vented his anger on him and randomly sent someone to throw him into the sea to feed the sharks.But there is no direct evidence, and the police dare not investigate him randomly.It has also been rumored in the industry that it is safer to mess with the gangsters than Xu Guanwu, because the gangsters still have scruples and are afraid that they will be attacked by the police.But Xu Guanwu is not afraid of the police at all, and there are a group of very obedient people in private, so he can be regarded as the group of people who should not be messed with.

Although Zuo Qiuming and Qian Jiang were courageous enough and well-known writers, they were still a little apprehensive in the face of Xu Guanwu.Now that they have obtained his exclusive interview and established a relationship, they are already very satisfied. Naturally, they don't need to risk being silenced by posting the photo looking for trouble.

……

After Xu Guanwu got the film, he wanted to go home.At this time, Wu Siyuan stopped him suddenly, "Mr. Xu, if you really appreciate Xu Ke, I can rent him to you for filming."

Xu Guanwu was taken aback, "What do you mean?"

Wu Siyuan smiled, "I know Mr. Xu's brokerage company also rents out actors, directors, screenwriters, photographers, etc. I want to follow your model and rent Xu Ke to you. You only need to pay a little commission." gone."

Xu Guanwu nodded, "Although I am very grateful for your generosity, I'm sorry, our company has no shortage of people for the time being."

The Xu Group is now at its peak of talents, and there is no shortage of people like Xu Ke.Furthermore, Wu Siyuan made it clear that it was rent, that is to say, if the Xu family trained Xu Ke well, Wu Siyuan would still take it back.Wouldn't that be a chicken-and-egg fight for Xu?
Is there any reason not to cultivate directors under your own company, but to cultivate directors from other companies?
Xu Guanwu's eating habits have become more refined in recent years, but when he heard Wu Siyuan's words, he still refused directly.Unless you can turn all of Xu Ke over, it doesn't matter if I spend some money.But you want me to teach people well, so you come to pick peaches again?Let me give you a word, let's stay where it's cool.

Seeing that Xu Guanwu refused without even thinking about it, Wu Siyuan couldn't help thinking again.To be honest, when Zuo Qiuming and Qian Jiang were interviewing Xu Guanwu just now, Wu Siyuan was thinking about whether Xu Guanwu was praising Xu Ke for Xu Ke, and whether he was digging holes for himself.

But after much deliberation and deliberation, he still couldn't make up his mind.It was only after a flash of inspiration that I thought of renting out Xu Ke.

By renting out Xu Ke, one can recover a little rent, two can see how good he is, and three can test Xu Guanwu's attitude.

Looking at the fanaticism that Xu Guanwu praised for Xu Ke just now, Wu Siyuan felt that if he proposed to rent out Xu Ke, Xu Guanwu should not wait to follow up, and then give himself a fairly generous reward, so that he can go along with what he has always said In other words, Xu Ke is really a genius.

But now seeing that Xu Guanwu refused without even thinking about it, Wu Siyuan suddenly felt that Xu Guanwu was digging holes for himself before, otherwise why would you not want to rent it to you?
After thinking about it, Wu Siyuan felt that his idea was quite reasonable, but after thinking too much, he became confused again, "Maybe Xu Guanwu deliberately wanted to lower the price, showing that he was not interested, and then asked me to drive Xu Ke out automatically, and then He wants to reap the benefits of fishermen?"

The more Wu Siyuan thought about it, the more he felt that this possibility was also relatively high. For a while, the two guesses were tossing in his mind like a fight, which made Wu Siyuan feel dizzy.

In fact, it’s not surprising that Wu Siyuan is thinking wildly. He is not an indecisive person. The key point is that Xu Ke is too weird. He looks like a piece of jade in the rough. baby.Poor Wu Siyuan is like Bian He who discovered He's Bi, now both feet have been chopped off.If you cut it again, it will hit the head. Naturally, you have to think about it thoroughly, otherwise you don't know how you died.
