Chapter 107: Xu Ziming's shortcomings

Wu Yaohan in Hong Jinbao's mouth is the same as Feng Zufan, and he is an actor of Hong Jinbao's Five Lucky Stars.

Ng studied in the UK in his early years, and after graduating from the Harster School of Drama in the UK, he participated in performances at the BBC. After returning to Hong Kong, he made serials and movies, and because of his outstanding image and comedy talent, he created many classic images that fans will never forget.

For example, in 1977, Wu Yaohan, Zhao Yuzhi and Xu Guanying co-starred in "Fa Qian Han", which followed the characteristics of the Hong Kong classic movie "Half a Pound and Eight Taels", and achieved very good box office results.

The identity of an actor is just a point in his life, his father is Wu Tianlin, the second largest shareholder of Kowloon Bus Corporation, but Wu Tianlin has more children under his knees, and Wu Yaohan's status in his family is not very high.

Feng Quifan's father is a Cantonese opera veteran Feng Jinghua, who is inferior to Wu Yaohan in terms of family background, but the experience of leaving wireless many times has made him have much more experience in the entertainment industry than ordinary people.

In 1981, Feng Zufan independently directed the action film "Pink Skull". At the end of the same year, he resigned from the production post of Hong Kong TVB and concentrated on film and television performances, and began to take the route of character actors.

Cheng Long said casually: "Don't rush so much, it is estimated that everyone has already arrived at the company, and now there are a few of us." ”

Hong Jinbao nodded, maybe like Jackie Chan said, the message has been notified twice, and it stands to reason that there is no mistake.

While the three of them were speeding to Jiahe in a car, Xu Ziming made a special call to inform Guan Du and asked him to discuss with Sheng Zuru. This is not a surprise to the other superstar film personnel who have come to Hong Kong.

Xu Ziming was able to come to the airport to pick them up, which was a very good start, how dare he ask for luxury.

Guan Du and Sheng Zuru had just found a place near the hotel, and when they were about to sit down and talk, they heard the person at the opposite table complaining to the waiter: "What's wrong with me smoking a cigarette!"

The waiter gently persuaded: "Sir, if there is a reminder outside the door, smoking is prohibited in this store." ”

The man slapped the table, stood up suddenly, glanced at the waiter viciously, and shouted: "No matter how noisy it is, don't blame me for beating you, you will die." "As he spoke, he was going to make a beating motion.

The waitress was just a schoolgirl working in the store, and she was so scared that she almost wanted to cry.

The rest of the people in the seats were attracted by the shouting and scolding.

"This gentleman, why be embarrassed for her, this shop really can't smoke. A man preached indignantly, and the man who smoked wanted to lose his temper, but when he turned his head and found that the man behind him was far taller and more powerful than himself, he was timid, but he said with a tiger face, "Don't meddle in your business." ”

The man said solemnly: "Sir, if you do this, according to the laws of Hong Kong, this shopkeeper has the right to file a civil lawsuit against you." ”

"Are you a cop?" the man who smoked a cigarette asked.

The man shook his head and explained: "I'm not a police officer, but for a police officer, what legal obligations does he have, he changes to maintain law and order in the city, which I know very well, and I am good friends with the superintendent of the police in Hong Kong." ”

The man who smoked was scorched, and his expression was very unnatural, originally he wanted to ridicule this nosy meddler, but who knew whether it was true or false that he was good friends with the superintendent of police in Hong Kong.

But whether this last sentence was true or not, the smoking man knew it was time for him to go, because two more strangers were coming towards him.

"Sir, I think your behavior is more competent than that of the police. ”

Guan Du and Sheng Zuru walked towards the tall man with great curiosity, completely ignoring the smoking man who had just slipped past them.

Sheng Zuru stuffed the cigarette he had just taken out back into his pocket and praised it.

The man turned his head and saw two dignified, one old and one young, appearing in front of him, with unfamiliar faces, but with an amiable smile, the man smiled without scruples: "I also wish I was a policeman, but that was also written as a policeman in the script, but in fact I am not a policeman at all." ”

Guan Du was puzzled and asked, "Mr. also writes scripts?" In that case, there should be a lot of fame in Hong Kong. ”

The man cried and laughed, "I'm not famous, if I really talk about fame, it should actually be my mentor Zhang Che." ”

Hong Kong people call Zhang Che "the hero of the Hong Kong film generation", and his popularity is no less than that of martial arts fans, who are familiar with Jin Yong Gulong.

Zhang Che and Hu Jinquan are recognized as the two standard-bearers of the "New Martial Arts Century" of Hong Kong films in the 60s and 70s of the 20th century. Zhang Che's masculine line has greatly reversed the "character" of Hong Kong films, and created a long-term mainstream trend of Hong Kong films led by male stars, which has had an impact that Hu Jinquan and other directors can't match. The martial arts action in Zhang Che's film is mainly a hard bridge and a hard horse, focusing on the male sense of virility, as well as the sense of flesh and blood violence, and the strong man is naked-breast-flesh, which is the signature of Zhang Che's film. The heroes in Zhang Che's lens are emotionally hot, with strong personalities and few turns, so they mostly end in tragedy. His hero is the same as his own process of becoming a director, because he is not used in the world, he is full of sincerity, but he is subject to the crampedness of the environment and the manipulation of fate, so in the majestic and heroic, there is always a trace of pathos and indignation.

Therefore, in the mixed entertainment industry in the eighties and nineties, especially those who like to shoot martial arts films, Zhang Che has nothing to ignore.

As soon as he heard such a familiar name, Sheng Zuru, who has worked hard in the film industry for many years, was surprised: "Your mentor is Zhang Che, so who are you?"

The man smiled faintly: "My name is Li Xiuxian." is just a writer and director who is not well-known. ”

Guan Du is not in the film industry, but following Xu Ziming's side, he also knows some things in the film industry, how can Zhang Che's apprentice not be outstanding.

Li Xiuxian's dress is very simple, look carefully and carefully, the jacket on his body has some small holes, it is obvious that Li Xiuxian has not lived a very satisfactory life in the film industry, otherwise how could such a tall and handsome man make people feel that he has a shabby appearance.

Guan Du asked, "Mr. Li also makes movies?"

Li Xiuxian hung his head and said bluntly: "I made a movie last year, but it was also the result of pulling investment everywhere, I have had a movie dream since I was a child, that is, the dream of being a policeman, but others often think that my script is not good, to be honest, where can I make a movie, it is better to eat a meal." ”

Guan Du nodded in understanding, and comforted: "If Mr. Li thinks that his script is good and worth shooting, I will give you a business card, this is my boss's company, if he is also optimistic about you, I believe that Mr. Li's investment in making movies in the future does not need to be considered, if the situation is good, the problem of the theater chain will naturally be arranged." ”

Li Xiuxian looked incredulous, glanced at Guan Du and Sheng Zuru, and then smiled bitterly: "Thank you for your kindness, I don't think there is any need to trouble you." ”

"Hey, Mr. Li must not say that, there are not many people who can stand up for Mr. Li in Hong Kong, so we have never met, but now we meet in Pingshui, Mr. Li holds this business card, and when there is difficulty in the future, the amount will be used. Guan Du forced Xu Ziming's business card of Ming Mingjia Film Company into Li Xiuxian's hand.

Sheng Zuru didn't say anything, and suddenly found that Xu Ziming's helper Guan Du is really not very simple, and he will definitely have a bright future in the future.

Li Xiuxian took the business card, glanced at it a few times, pretended to be calm on the surface, and was surprised in his heart, it was actually Mingjia Film Company, although this company was only recently founded, but Li Xiuxian knew that the founder of this company was founded by Xu Ziming, who has become very famous in recent years.

......

After Li Xiuxian left, Guan Du and Sheng Zuru also returned to their positions and started today's topic. Guan Du strictly follows Xu Ziming's ideas, and the conditions of the superstar film company represented by Shengzuru have not changed at all, which coincides with Xu Ziming's thoughts.

So the negotiation between the two is very smooth, Xu Ziming holds 20% of the shares of Superstar Pictures, although he cannot become the largest shareholder of the company, but he can own the filming rights of Qiong Yao's literary works in film and television dramas and TV series, which is very good.

Although Taiwan's literary films have gradually become a decadent phenomenon, Hong Kong audiences are not tired of it.

"Mr. Guan, I have a question that I have always wanted to ask. After the two got into the car, Sheng Zuru took out a cigarette and started lighting it, and then smoked again.

Guan Dutou didn't reply, and he guessed what the problem was just when he asked about the smell of cigarette butts in the back seat.

"You want to talk about the problem of Mr. Xu stopping his car today to get angry. ”

"Well, I also asked Mr. Xu before, I thought he would accept it, but it turned out to be ......" Sheng Zuru didn't finish speaking, Guan Du shook his hand to stop, he knew what Sheng Zuru wanted to explain.

"From the first time I worked for Mr. Xu, there was an unwritten rule that I didn't like people to smoke in the same car with him. When Guan Du said this, his eyes were looking straight ahead, very solemn.

"Why would Mr. Xu still agree?" Sheng Zuru was confused.

"That's why I'm very optimistic about Mr. Xu's place, his bearing is very big, as long as he doesn't exceed his limit, he can endure others trampling on his rules, but beyond this line, I don't say, you don't like to understand him, in fact, I don't understand him, after he came back from the United States, people have changed a lot, and they have almost no shortcomings. ”

Sheng Zuru was silent, he didn't have a deep impression of Xu Ziming, originally he just thought that Xu Ziming's performance today was a trace of the rich child's anger, but when he heard Guan Du say this, he had a great fluctuation in his heart.

Sheng Zuru snuffed out the cigarette on his mouth, threw it directly to the soles of his feet, and at the same time stepped on the fire that was still vaguely remaining, and said with a smile: "I'm curious about what Mr. Xu's shortcomings are?"

Guan Du opened his mouth and thought of an answer in his heart, but as soon as he thought of something, he immediately said: "Nostalgia." ”

Stretched like a fish's belly, he repeated incredulously: "Nostalgia?"

"That's right, at least in my opinion......"
