The king of ghost horse comedy

Chapter 9 "Ghost Horse Twin Stars" boot

After Zhao Yazhi signed the contract and officially joined the crew, and after all the actors were in place, the filming of "Ghost Horse Twin Stars" officially started.

To Xu Guanwu's great surprise, the director of this film turned out to be Wu Yusen.That's right, it is the generation of fierce men who made classic films such as "A True Color of Heroes" and "Blood Heroes" in the future, and created "violent aesthetics" and successfully entered Hollywood.

"Doesn't he like to make heroic movies and gunfight movies? Why is he also making comedy movies now?" Xu Guanwu frowned, and then he remembered the information he had read on the Internet in his previous life, and he suddenly realized.

It turns out that in the 80s and [-]s, Wu Yusen really started his career by making comedies, such as "Ghost and Horse Twin Stars", "Fat Qian Han", "Money Makes Mischief", etc., and the opening work of New Art City "Funny Times" was also his pseudonym Wu Shangfei. This group of old friends took the shot.

It’s just that he failed at the box office when he filmed the big-budget film “Eight Colored Lin Yazhen”, and then accidentally injured the actors of the film crew by using live ammunition during the shootout of “Heroes Without Tears” in Thailand.

So when he returned to Hong Kong after filming, he was immediately fired by his old club Golden Harvest.After defecting to New Art City, he was thrown to Taiwan, where he stayed for two or three years and made several mediocre comedies.

Fortunately, Tsui Hark established a film studio at that time, and for the sake of his friendship in the past, he paid for him to shoot "The True Colors of a Hero", and the result became very popular.

There is a classic line from Brother Xiao Ma in the film, "I have been waiting for three years, just to wait for an opportunity. I want to fight for it. I don't want to prove that I am great. I just want to tell people that I must get back what I lost." It is a true portrayal of Wu Yusen's state of mind at that time.

Of course, Director Wu is not so sullen at all now, he just joined Golden Harvest.I made a Kung Fu movie "The Passenger" before, and the action director behind the scenes is Jackie Chan, who will become popular in Asia in the future.It's just that both of them are juniors now, so the box office of this kung fu movie is not ideal.

In Hong Kong, the box office is everything.A director who can't make a blockbuster movie has no right to speak at all.

So this time directing "Ghost Horse Double Star" is his last chance, so he cherishes it very much, and is more nervous than anyone else in the crew.

Xu Guanwen was equally nervous as the Xu Guanjie brothers, because this film was filmed with borrowed money.If the filming is not good and the box office is not high, the two brothers will sell themselves to Jiahe directly.

Therefore, on the set, you can see the director Wu Yusen being critical, the protagonist Xu Guanwen being meticulous, and Xu Guanjie's strict requirements, making the whole studio bloody, and everyone trembling.

The only one who was relaxed was Xu Guanwu.

Because Xu Guanwen attaches great importance to this opening work and does not want to make any mistakes, so he originally planned to assign his second brother to be in charge of the behind-the-scenes, but after thinking about it, he was dismissed from his position, and he was only responsible for ordering lunches, tea and other small things .

This kind of thing is simple, but full of oil and water, and Xu Guanwen, an outsider, is not at ease, so it happens to be in charge of the second brother.

After Xu Guanwu ordered lunch every day, he stayed in the studio to watch them filming.However, although his job is very easy, Xu Guanwu himself found something to do for himself, and he also seemed very busy.

……

Ever since he saw Wu Yusen that day and almost forgot that he had ever made a comedy film, Xu Guanwu was worried about his poor memory. He was afraid that his memory would be even worse in another ten or eight years, so he specially bought a notebook , Whenever I have free time, I will copy all the memories of my previous life.

Of course, because these memories are too heaven-defying, once it is spread, it will be earth-shattering, such as the disintegration of the Soviet Union in [-]... Therefore, Xu Guanwu wrote and collected carefully, a bit like a spy.

People's memory is very loose, Xu Guanwu categorized and wrote down the things he thought were more important.

For example, the reform and opening up of the mainland in the 80s, the disintegration of the Soviet Union in the 90s, the return of Hong Kong in [-], the Asian financial turmoil, the rapid development of electronic technology, the rise of the Internet, etc.

Every message contains unlimited business opportunities, which makes Xu Guanwu very excited.

"With these memories, it will be difficult not to make a fortune in the future." He thought proudly.

Because he liked watching Hong Kong movies in his previous life, Xu Guanwu also remembered many Hong Kong movies, such as "A Hero", "Half Weight", "Police Story" and so on. He also quickly wrote them all while his memory was still there.

Although he did not fully record some details, lines, etc., he has a complete outline of the story, and he only needs to find someone to polish it in the future.

So it can be seen that every day, Xu Guanwu sits on the set and writes madly.

……

"Okay, let's shoot here first, call it a day, let's eat!" Director Wu Yusen shouted, and all the staff cheered together.

The two leading actors, Xu Guanwen and Xu Guanjie, came to the director together, "How is the progress of today's shooting? Are there any major mistakes?" Xu Guanwen, the eldest brother, asked nervously.

He is the producer of this film and the leading actor of this film, so he is naturally very worried about the filming of the film.

"It's okay, Mike, the acting is very good. Even Ms. Zhao Yazhi has improved very quickly." Wu Yusen nodded and said.

He thought he was strict enough, but he didn't expect the two actors, especially Xu Guanjie, to be even more meticulous.He also admired such a dedicated actor.

"That's good, let's eat. Take a half-hour break after eating, and then we will continue working." Xu Guanwen shouted.

……

"Miss Zhao, work is over? Come and get the boxed lunch." Xu Guanwu put down the pen and paper in his hand, and handed over the specially prepared boxed lunch.

"Thank you, Mr. Xu!" Zhao Yazhi quickly took it, opened the lunch box and saw that there were two chicken legs inside.

"Wow, Ah Zhi, your meal is really good. There are two chicken legs, look at my box." Ding Pei laughed at the side.

"Sister Pei, don't make fun of me, I'll give you this chicken leg." Zhao Yazhi said hastily.

"Forget it, Stanley specially prepared these chicken legs for you, and I don't want to get a foot in." Ding Pei walked away with a smile.

"This..." Zhao Yazhi's face was flushed by Ding Pei's words, and she couldn't say anything more, so she had to swallow the words and silently searched for a place to eat.

"You just sit here and eat, the other places are occupied by people." Xu Guanwu stood up quickly, and said, passing the chair under his buttocks.

The studio is not big, and dozens of tables and chairs are not specially prepared for people to eat.Therefore, when it's time to eat, except for the director, leading actors and others who have a place to sit and eat, everyone else basically sits on the floor.

Zhao Yazhi looked around, and sure enough, all the places where she could sit were full of people, and there was really nothing to do, so she agreed and sat on the chair that Xu Guanwu handed over.

……

As soon as she joined the crew, she knew that Xu Guanwu liked her very much, so she specially prepared boxed lunches for herself every day, and often brought her soup from outside.

But Xu Guanwu's enthusiasm made Zhao Yazhi very embarrassed.

For one thing, Xu Guanwu has turned 30 years old, while Zhao Yazhi herself is only 20 years old, and the age difference of ten years is not the same; second, Xu Guanwu treats herself differently, which also makes the crew look at her differently, as if she has the same relationship with Xu Guanwu. What kind of adultery, this made Zhao Yazhi very wronged.
