Chapter 093: Waste

"Dad, the screenwriter, starring and director of "Secret Love in Peach Blossom Spring" seems to be called Yang Qiu, and that play was also written, directed and acted by Yang Qiu. ”

At the critical moment, Guan Zhicheng, who was still in charge of the production company, had a flexible brain, remembered the name Yang Qiu at once, and was busy explaining on the side.

Although the specific affairs of Jinguo Company have been delegated to the two sons, Guan Jiabai in the film industry is still a little concerned, and as soon as he heard the explanation of the eldest son, he immediately remembered who Yang Qiu was.

Thinking of the word-of-mouth and box office of "Secret Love in Peach Blossom Spring", Guan Jiabai glared at his second son hatefully and scolded: "This is what you said is the only famous corner Cao Dahua?"

“……”

Seeing that the second son was a little nervous and didn't dare to speak, Guan Jiabai was even more angry, and said: "You, who is in charge of the theater, don't even know the name of a famous director, you can't learn more than your brother!"

Guan Zhicheng, who was inexplicably hit by 10,000 critical attacks, stood on the other side of his father with his head down, and glanced at his good brother with some meaning.

I saw that Guan Zhigang's face was bitter, but he still wanted to justify: "Dad, then Yang Qiu used to make Chinese films, and we are Cantonese ......."

Smack——

There was a loud bang in the office, but it was the resentful Guan Jiabai who slapped the office desk, which frightened Guan Zhigang and directly interrupted him.

"What's the matter, so you don't listen to what's going on outside the window and only read the books of the sages?" Guan Jiabai hated iron but not steel.

"Dad, you are angry, and the second brother didn't mean it. Guan Zhicheng hurriedly stepped forward to support his father and said to him: "It's just that Yang Qiu has made such a film in the end, and it's normal that the second brother didn't remember it." ”

"Then why do you remember?!"

"......" Guan Zhicheng was speechless for a while, and was stunned for a moment and hurriedly said: "Isn't this also because I have heard you talk about it for so long, and I only remembered it." ”

"Then you are better than your brother who has no knowledge and no skills. ”

“……”

As soon as Guan Jiabai's words came out, Guan Zhigang opened his mouth again, and just wanted to defend himself, but found that he didn't know how to refute.

There was silence.

"Forget it, I don't want to pay attention to your. After a long time, Guan Jiabai's anger was chaotic, and he finally smoothed it out, pointed to his second son and asked, "You just said that this Yang Qiu made a Cantonese film?"

"Yes, it's called 'Funny Times.' ”

"Funny...... Times?" Guan Jiabai touched his chin, and always felt that the name was a little familiar.

Guan Zhigang hurriedly bent down and bowed his head, and explained to his father: "This name is imitated from Chaplin's "Modern Times", but the background has changed to our China, and the story is different, I watched that movie, don't you say, that guy imitates Chaplin and imitates it really like, and the movie is funny." ”

"Wait......" Guan Jiabai suddenly frowned and asked, "You said he played the imitation of Chaplin?"

"Uh, yes. ”

“……”

Seeing his father's brows furrowed even deeper, Guan Zhigang was a little uneasy, and asked carefully: "Dad, is there something wrong?" Otherwise, it really won't work, we don't want this ......."

"What nonsense are you talking about again!" Guan Jiabai interrupted the second son's words hatefully, staring at him angrily.

"Dad......"

I don't know where something went wrong, Guan Zhigang was stunned, and looked at his father in confusion.

"Sure enough, I don't know how to learn. Guan Jiabai covered his forehead, looked helpless, and said slowly: "I remember that you showed me the film schedule reports of several other theaters a few days ago. ”

"Uh...... Be. Guan Zhigang thought carefully for a second, and then nodded carefully.

Guan Jiabai thought for a while and asked, "I remember that the new film in Taiping for the New Year is called "A Book of Wanli"?"

"Yes. ”

Guan Zhigang was not slow to nod this time, but he didn't have time to be happy, so he was immediately confused by Guan Jiabai's next question

"What about the main actors?"

"Huh?".

"I asked who the star of "A Book of Profits" is?"

"Ah...... Oh...... It's ......"

"You don't know?"

"I ......" Guan Zhigang replied awkwardly, "I didn't pay attention." ”

"Hoo ————"

Guan Jiabai's face was mocking, his head shook for a moment, and he said, "Ha, you don't even know about your own report." Zhicheng, what about you? Have you ever cared about this? ”

Guan Zhicheng thought for a while and replied: "Dad, I know a little bit, the starring roles of "A Book of Wanli" are Qin Xiaoli, Li Haiquan, Yin Qiushui and ......."

"Alright, alright. Guan Jiabai waved his hand to interrupt his eldest son's words, and said with a little satisfaction: "What about the central line?"

"Hmm...... , the central side is called "Full of Gold and Jade", starring Bai Yan, Zhang Huojiao, Yin Qiushui, Chen ......"

"What about the Shaw Brothers?"

"Eh, it's called "Twelve Golden Hairpins Playing Yulang", starring Bai Yan, Zhang Huojiao, Hongxian Girl, Yin Qiu, ......"

"Okay, okay, no need to say it. Guan Jiabai nodded with satisfaction, and then looked at his youngest son and said, "If you don't learn and don't have skills, you will have to learn more from your eldest brother in the future!"

"Yes......"

Guan Zhigang, who was compared again, lowered his head helplessly, and pretended to respond with an unhappy face.

Guan Jiabai heard the second son's disagreement, but he didn't bother to pay attention to it now, and continued: "You just said that this Yang Qiu played Chaplin well?"

"Yes, yes, it's really good, I'm laughing from beginning to end, if you don't believe it......" Guan Zhigang came to his senses again, patted his chest with his head held high and promised: "They are waiting below, we can go to the test room below to have a look, and keep it for you to ......"

"Wait!"

Guan Jiabai suddenly raised his hand to interrupt his son's words, and asked coldly: "Are you saying that Yang Qiu is down there now, but one of your responsible persons left them and ran up by himself?"

“……”

"Rubbish!"

Guan Jiabai was dizzy again, shook his head fiercely, and didn't want to look at this stupid son anymore, so he stood up and walked past them and walked out of the door.

Smack——!

There was a crisp sound, and the office door was slammed shut.

In the office, Guan Zhigang, who looked confused, glanced at the door, then looked at his eldest brother and asked, "Brother, what's wrong?"

Guan Zhicheng looked at his younger brother and shook his head and smiled, and said as he walked towards the gate: "Don't you know that Yin Qiushui's nickname is 'Oriental Charlie', Charlie Chaplin." If that film is really as good as you say, then such a good publicity idea can my father miss it? ”

“……”

"Oh, yes!"

Guan Zhicheng, who was holding the doorknob, suddenly stopped, looked at his wrist and turned around and asked, "It's only eleven o'clock now, isn't the second brother usually not taking care of the company's affairs in the morning? Why did you go to review the film so early today?"

“……”

Looking at Guan Zhigang, who didn't know how to speak, Guan Zhicheng chuckled again, and said freely: "But today, thank you for the second brother who helped me out of the siege, thank you." ”

That strange laugh, as if someone had exposed a certain layer of skin, Guan Zhigang was stunned on the spot for a while, and he didn't see any movement.

Guan Zhicheng smiled and opened the door and walked out, but as soon as he came out of the sight of the people in the room, his face sank, and he spat hard at the door.

"Huh!

"Hmph, what's the matter with this Jin country, called us over early in the morning, and hung us at this door when he came?"

At the door of the test room on the third floor of Jinguo Building, Li Hanxiang kept turning around, muttering a few words from time to time.

Yang Qiu, who was sitting, was also full of doubts, the film had already been reviewed in Jin Guo yesterday afternoon, but this package of bottom fees was a little difficult to negotiate, and the two sides broke up unhappily.

Today they were going to run the Taiping Line in the morning, but they received a call saying that things had taken a turn for the better, and everything was easy to talk about, so they were fooled by Jin Guo and ran over with a copy.

But it's been more than an hour, and except for a publicity manager surnamed Wu, who has shown up, he hasn't met a person in charge.

Is this a toss-up man?

Yang Qiu patted Wang Tianlin, who was sitting next to him, and asked, "Old Wang, have you ever encountered this situation before?"

"Nope. Wang Tianlin thought about it and replied honestly: "My previous films have basically never been in regular theaters. ”
