Appearance:

After instructing Mei Yanfang, she went to find Xu Guanwen in the summer.

"Hey, Mr. Xia!" Xu Guanwen greeted Xia with a smile when he saw him.

"Mr. Xu. Summer smiled, "How is this movie, how is it going, when will it be finished?"

"What, Mr. Xia can't wait?" Xu Guanwen was stunned for a moment, and then smiled.

Summer nodded, "Recently, a Japanese film company is coming over, and this film of yours is the main hit." I think it's better to finish the film as soon as possible so that the Japanese studios can see the finished film, so that they have a better chance of buying it. ”

"I see. Mr. Xia is so powerful, you can even find a way to do it in the Japanese market. Xu Guanwen smiled in surprise.

The Japanese market has always been conservative and closed, and it is difficult for films from other countries to open the Japanese market except for American Hollywood films. At that time, Shao Yifu and Japan's Shochiku Pictures cooperated so much, but they failed to promote Shaw Brothers films to Japan, which shows how difficult it is.

I didn't expect Summer to be young, but he has such ability, which is really admirable.

"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be. Summer waved his hand and said, "Then Mr. Xu, can you finish filming this drama within three days?"

"Oh, that's a bit harder. Xu Guanwen frowned and said.

He has never been a prolific director, and in his peak 70s, he only made one movie a year, and there were even years when there were empty windows. Now although most of the drama "Detective Chocolate" has been filmed, the rest of the scenes will not be filmed at all in a week. If the requirements are a little higher, I'm afraid I won't be able to shoot for another half a month.

"Mr. Xia, I'll tell you the truth, if this drama is to be filmed, it will take at least a week. And I don't approve of sacrificing the quality of the movie because of the rush. Xu Guanwen said solemnly.

He has always been very demanding in movies. If the movie doesn't please the audience, then he'd rather not make it. Therefore, he is very disgusted with the behavior of sacrificing the quality of the movie in order to catch up with the schedule. thinks that it is irresponsible to the audience and irresponsible to oneself.

"Mr. Hui, please rest assured, I also have no intention of rushing the filming to the deadline and thus compromising the quality of the film. Summer waved her hand. "So, you can cut a five-minute essence for me from the existing materials, okay?"

"The essence of five minutes?" Xu Guanwen blinked, a little unsure of what summer meant.

"It's about taking the passages that you think are funny, selecting the best of the best, cutting out a few minutes of footage, and then putting them together and showing them to the filmmaker. Summer briefly introduced. "In this way, I can also give an explanation to the filmmaker. ”

"I see what you mean. Xu Guanwen's eyes lit up and he smiled, "Mr. Xia, this is a really good idea. The five-minute footage is all highlights, so that the filmmakers watched it, and they might think that the whole drama was so exciting. ”

Summer glanced at Xu Guanwen in surprise, but he didn't expect that as soon as he heard this idea, he would be able to tell the true meaning of the trailer in one sentence, he really deserves to be a genius in the film industry!!

"Mr. Xu is so smart!" he exclaimed.

"It's still Mr. Xia's flexible brain. Such a great idea. I can't think of it myself. Xu Guanwen also said sincerely.

If Summer hadn't mentioned it to him, he really couldn't have come up with such an idea himself. It's a genius idea. I didn't expect Summer to have such a mind at such a young age, which is really admirable.

"I'll leave this highlight clip to your satisfaction. Xu Guanwen said with a smile.

"Then there's Mr. Rausch. Summer nodded and smiled, "Since that's the case, then I won't bother." Leave. ”

……

"Please wait a minute, Mr. Xia. Xia turned around and was just about to leave, when Xu Guanwen suddenly said again.

"Is there anything else, Mr. Xu?" asked Summer, turning around suspiciously.

"I think Amei is a very good actor and very spiritual. It's also very hardworking. Mr. Xia might as well consider giving her more opportunities. Xu Guanwen looked at Mei Yanfang from a distance and recommended it to Summer.

Summer smiled.

Of course, he knows that Mei Yanfang is a good actor, and she has won the Golden Horse Award and the Academy Awards. Of course, he is also willing to give her more opportunities and cooperate with her, which does not need to be reminded by Xu Guanwen.

"I see, Mr. Xu. Miss Mei has outstanding acting skills, is diligent and hardworking, and is a popular singer with many fans and box office appeal, I am willing to cooperate with her more. He smiled and nodded.

"I mean, why didn't you consider signing her?" Xu Guanwen laughed.

Summer was stunned, "Hasn't she already signed Huaxing Records?"

"It was just a record contract. Her movie contract was signed with Shaw Brothers, but Shaw Brothers has closed its doors, so Ah Mei's movie contract has not yet found a home. Xu Guanwen added, "She complained to me a few days ago, saying that she wanted to develop in the film industry, but she didn't have any opportunities. If Mr. Xia is interested, he may wish to sign her. ”

To be honest, if it weren't for the small temple of Xu's Pictures and the fact that it couldn't accommodate this big Bodhisattva, Xu Guanwen would have wanted to sign Mei Yanfang a long time ago. However, Xu's can't make a movie a year, so don't delay the youth of other girls.

"Of course that's fine. Hearing Xu Guanwen's suggestion, Xia agreed in one bite.

Mei Yanfang has a wide acting path, can act in both dramas and tragic comedies, and her acting skills are also very good, and she just won the Best Supporting Actress Award this year. In addition, her achievements in the music industry are also very high, and she has a large number of fans, which also makes her very box office appeal.

As far as Xia knows, Mei Yanfang is the first Hong Kong actress to earn more than one million dollars. She is also known as "Xia Yu Fanghong" with Lin Qingxia, Zhang Manyu, and Zhong Chuhong, and is the four most popular actresses in the Hong Kong film industry. In order to win her over, Jiahe asked He Guanchang to accept her as his goddaughter, and named her "He Jianan".

An actress with great potential like this, if she can sign into the company now, she will certainly be very happy in the summer.

"Okay, then I'll go talk to her. Xu Guanwen saw that Xia agreed, so he went to report the good news to Mei Yanfang.

……

Mei Yanfang couldn't help but be overjoyed when she learned that Summer was willing to sign her.

She likes acting very much, but she has never had too good opportunities.

The previous "Seven Days of Wrong Love", "Fate", etc., were just cameos, which made her feel that they were not enjoyable.

Only this "Detective Chocolate" finally gave her a taste of the heroine. It really made her very happy.

Especially this time she is still working with Xu Guanwen, the king of comedy, she really learned a lot from this senior, and she loves acting more and more.

It's just that now that Shaw Brothers is closed, she wants to continue filming, but her future is uncertain. In distress, she asked her predecessor Xu Guanwen for advice. I was told if I wanted to stay in this line for a long time. To get ahead, you must choose a big tree to rely on, otherwise the road will only get narrower and narrower, and people will only go lower and lower.

Xu Guanwen also gave the example of Cheng Long to Mei Yanfang, "He is on Luo Wei's side, and he can't even receive 5,000 yuan a month's salary." After jumping to Golden Harvest, with the protection of this big tree, he was not only able to gain international prestige, but also received a salary of 5 million Hong Kong dollars. I don't know how much higher than before. ”

After listening to this, Mei Yanfang also felt that Xu Guanwen made sense. As the saying goes, it's good to enjoy the shade with your back against a big tree. She sang at night back then, and she also knew that it was much more reliable to sing in the big night than in a small song hall. Neither being owed wages nor being harassed by guests.

And since you are looking for a big tree, you have to mention the four major film companies in Hong Kong - Golden Harvest, New Art City, Tianxia and Debao.

These four film companies all have their own cinema chains, so they have the most potential. Among them, Jiahe has great wealth and strong internal strength, and Xinyicheng has a good reputation. The popularity is strong; although Tianxia Pictures is a junior, it is the last; Debao Pictures is compared with the first three. It's a bit inadequate. However, with Pan Disheng, the financier, providing funds and a cinema chain in hand, its potential should not be underestimated.

Mei Yanfang feels that she is lucky to be in any of these four families, but her favorite is Tianxia Pictures in the summer.

Because she feels that Golden Harvest doesn't seem to pay much attention to cultivating her own actresses. Even if Cheng Long, Hong Jingbao, and Yuan Biao make movies, such a good opportunity to show their faces, it is just a casual opportunity to find actresses from the outside to deal with it. For example, "Police Story". TVB's Xiaohua Zhang Manyu is used; "Dragon's Heart" uses Taiwanese actress Zhu Baoyi; "Clever Tricks and Five Lucky Stars" uses Shaw Brothers actress Zhong Chuhong; and "The Legend of Shushan" uses Li's Li Saifeng...... There is no actress who belongs to Golden Harvest itself.

Mei Yanfang is worried that even if she goes to Golden Harvest, she may not be reused.

However, the environment of New Art City is the opposite of Golden Harvest. It's not that there are no actresses, it's that there are too many actresses. Not to mention anything else, there are several people in the Happy Girl Group alone, and they are young. Pretty again. Compared with those little girls, she has become an old woman. After I went, how did I fight with those beautiful girls!

As for Debao, it's too stuffy. Although it has a lot of potential, there is always no movement, and it is difficult to expect it.

In comparison, although Tianxia Pictures has only been established for half a year, it has become famous, and it has come to the top, and now its momentum is no less than that of New Art City, chasing Golden Harvest. And its actions are frequent, and in the first half of the year alone, it has invested in five films. In comparison, Debao hasn't even made a movie yet.

In addition, Tianxia Pictures has just been founded, and there are not many actors under it, especially actresses. Over and over again, there are only three actresses: Wang Jixian, Hu Huizhong, and Zhong Chuhong. I went by myself, just enough to be reused.

"Miss Mei, Mr. Xu should have told you just now. Would you like to come to our World Pictures?" asked Summer with a smile.

"I do. Mei Yanfang smiled and nodded.

"Okay, then I would like to congratulate you on becoming a member of our company. Tomorrow you will bring your agent and come to the company to sign the contract. Summer laughed again. (To be continued.) )
