The king of ghost horse comedy

Chapter 8
Xu Guanwu is very clear about Zhao's mother's concerns.

After all, it is not the 90s and [-]s when Hong Kong films were booming, nor is it the new century of open-mindedness. Today's Hong Kong people are still somewhat conservative in their thinking, thinking that actors are "actors" and a lowly profession.

In addition, in the past few years, due to the dominance of Shaw Brothers Films, the salaries of stars are very low, even the first-line red stars are only paid tens of thousands of yuan.

Moreover, male stars have to show their flesh when filming, and female stars have to "remove their shirts" if they want to be popular.At the same time, there are frequent scandals in the film industry, such as the well-known "Silver Rooster Case" and so on, which makes ordinary people fear the film and television industry like a tiger, and talk about it.

After listening to Xu Guanwu's explanation, Mother Zhao's doubts were not completely eliminated.Although she is very envious of the hundreds of millions of dollars a film sold by Golden Harvest Company, she doesn't want her daughter to spend her whole life in a wrong way.

"Since Mr. Xu can take us to the shooting location, that would be the best." Zhao's mother said, thinking that hearing is believing is believing, and if you go to the shooting location, you will know whether your company is really planning to make a movie.

Xu Guanwu nodded, "Then let's go now."

Stopped a taxi at the door, and Xu Guanwu took Zhao's mother and daughter to the filming location of "Ghost Horse Twin Stars".

Along the way, sitting in the same car with the beautiful woman, I feel that the whole car is filled with intoxicating fragrance.

The aroused Xu Guanwu glanced quietly through the rearview mirror from time to time.

It's just that because Zhao's mother was also sitting in the back compartment, Xu Guanwu didn't dare to go too far, for fear of being misunderstood as a pervert.

……

There are a total of seven important scenes in the movie "Ghost Horse Twin Stars". Except for the Bihua Garden provided by Ding Pei, some of the other scenes need to be shot on location, and some need to be set up in the studio.

Today, Xu Guanwu took Zhao's mother and daughter to the studio to have a look.

The Huada studio in Tsuen Wan was invested and built by a Singaporean businessman, with an area of ​​more than [-] square meters, for film companies to film and shoot scenes here.

When Golden Harvest first split from Shaw Brothers, it rented the studio of Huada Studio for filming, but now due to the small area of ​​Huada Studio, it cannot meet the conditions of Golden Harvest for filming, so Golden Harvest is planning to buy the original Cathay Pacific Studio on Fushan Road.

……

As soon as she entered the studio and saw the busy staff, Zhao's mother looked better.

"Brother, let me introduce. This is Ms. Zhao's mother. She is very concerned about the progress of our drama, so she specially asked me to bring her to see it." Xu Guanwu explained with a smile.

Xu Guanwen was originally displeased with the two strangers in the studio, but after hearing his second brother say it was Zhao Yazhi and her mother, he suddenly understood.He also knows that the current Hong Kong film industry environment is not very good, so it is completely normal for parents to have some concerns about their children entering the showbiz, so they are not particularly angry.

But he is a very serious person, and he usually speaks with a little seriousness, so when he walked over with a blank face, Zhao's mother was taken aback, and her aura suddenly dropped.

In Zhao's mother's opinion, Xu Guanwen looks like a boss like this, while Xu Guanwu smiles when he meets everyone, but he looks like a tiger.

I don't know if I would be so depressed that I would vomit blood if I heard Zhao's mother's heartfelt voice.

"Mr. Xu, hello." Mother Zhao saluted somewhat cautiously.

"You're welcome," he waved his hand, "As for our drama, my second brother may have mentioned to you before that there is such a female character. Just when I participated in the Miss Hong Kong election, I met Ms. Zhao and felt She fits our requirements for the role very well, so we sincerely invite her. I don't know what she wants?"

"It's easy to talk about anything else, but my husband doesn't agree with Ah Zhi's entry into the show business." Mother Zhao hesitated.

"Is that so, can you persuade me any more?" Xu Guanwen asked.

"Well, her father has a very stubborn temper, so it's not easy to persuade." Mother Zhao frowned.

"That's it, then there's nothing I can do. If Ms. Zhao really can't act, then I can only express my regret." Xu Guanwen said flatly.

On the side, Xu Guanwu couldn't help feeling a little anxious when he heard this.

If she missed out on Zhao Yazhi, a rising star, it would be a real treasure.

"Brother..." he said hastily.

Xu Guanwen shook his head slightly at him, and continued to look at Zhao's mother expressionlessly.

"Okay then, I'll persuade you when I go back." Mother Zhao said and dragged Zhao Yazhi away from the set.

"Auntie, please wait a moment. I will come and take you home after I have a few words with my eldest brother." Xu Guanwu called out hastily.

"Brother, why don't you stop persuading me?" He asked Xu Guanwen anxiously.

"You, you still don't have much experience in the world. What she said just now was just to gain more benefits. Why doesn't your husband agree, it's hard to persuade, it's just because you want more money." Xu Guanwen laughed, "You Let's see, they must be discussing at the door now, and when you go over and ask, they will agree to take care of it."

Xu Guanwu scratched his head, and suddenly realized, if Zhao's mother didn't want her daughter to act, she could simply refuse from the company, why did she follow her to the filming set?He was really obsessed with sex, and he didn't even notice such a simple thing.

"You, study hard, there will be more complicated things in the future." Xu Guanwen patted his second brother on the shoulder and said.This second brother has a vision for the overall situation, but he doesn't pay much attention to the small details.But people often fall down on this section.

Xu Guanwu nodded, turned around and walked towards the gate of the studio.

Seeing the Zhao family's mother and daughter standing there, he couldn't help but think that Xu Guanwen was not easy, he saw through Zhao's mother's scheme so easily, and he had to learn more from him in the future.

"Auntie, I'll take you home right now." Xu Guanwu smiled.

"Mr. Xu, I just discussed with Ah Zhi, and I decided to support Ah Zhi in this play." Mother Zhao said solemnly.

"Really?" Xu Guanwu looked at Zhao Yazhi in surprise and said.

Zhao Yazhi nodded, "Mom said, don't let Dad know until the movie is released."

"Okay, since this is the case, let's hurry up and sign the contract." Xu Guanwu hit the railway while it was hot.

Therefore, under the notarization of the lawyer, Zhao Yazhi signed her own name on the contract and officially joined the crew of "Ghost Horse Twin Stars". For the company's chief female artist.

At that time, the hiring of female artists did not require a signing fee, which was also a rule established by Shaw Brothers Films.

It wasn't until a few years later that the agent system emerged in Hong Kong, and signed artists had to pay a huge commission.

Without spending a penny, Xu Guanwu felt relaxed and happy when he successfully brought Zhao Yazhi under his command.

"In the future, Meiren Zhao will be a member of the company. As the saying goes, if you are close to the water, you will get the moon first. If you stay together, I will definitely have a chance to take her down." Xu Guanwu said lewdly.
