The drama "Modern Bodyguard", except for Zhang Shaojie and Anita Mui, are rookies. The rest of the crew, as well as the main actors, are basically those senior filmmakers in Xu Jiaban.

In fact, the whole play is also based on the penetration between the three Xu brothers and the funny and funny plot as a selling point.

However, the jokes in this script are mainly cold humor, and the difficulty of filming is relatively high!

Ordinary people may not be able to shoot the script of "Modern Bodyguard" well, only a cold-faced joker like Xu Guanwen can make some of the cold humor in the script understandable to the audience and laugh!

Zhang Shaojie knows that movies with humorous and funny themes rely on scripts, lines, and actors' comedy performances to win. These kinds of films are often produced in a very short time.

Moreover, ghost horse funny movies are easy and fast to shoot, and the audience also likes to see them, and the box office income is always very reassuring.

In addition, Xu Guanwen is the trend leader of ghost horse funny movies, and has always been a benchmark figure in the Hong Kong film industry after Bruce Lee.

A character similar to Xu Guanwen is Ge You, the actor in Chinese mainland in the future 90s, and Ge You and Xu Guanwen also delight the audience with cold humor.

The problem is that in the 80s, Xu Guanwen could easily write, direct and act in this cold-faced and humorous style, which made his movies unique among countless trend-following works, and it was difficult for others to imitate such authentic as him!

Although Ge You is also a master of cold humor, Ge You's ability is limited to acting, and he is not an all-round talent who is proficient in all three of them: director, screenwriter, and actor!

Therefore, Xu Guanwen, an all-rounder who controls the overall situation, can write screenplays, direct, and act, can be described as a very rare treasure in the Hong Kong film circle in this era!

The ability to have a star with Xu Guanhui is enough to make Zhang Shaojie a qualified director!

Zhang Shaojie's ideal is not necessarily to be a director.

However, since he wants to become an industry leader in all fields related to the cultural industry, such as novels, music, comics, anime, film and television, games, etc., he naturally cannot be a layman in the film industry.

Zhang Shaojie is convinced that in any industry, a layman is a layman!

Even if a layman is reborn and doesn't understand movies at all, he will definitely not be able to make a movie that can sell well. It is also not possible to put forward guidance for the construction of the entire industry from the perspective of an insider!

Xu Guanwen looked up to him, so that Zhang Shaojie could not only participate in the discussion of the film as a screenwriter. Moreover, he directly invited Zhang Shaojie, a newcomer who doesn't know anything, to serve as the assistant director of this movie.

This is not so much that Xu Guanwen needs Zhang Shaojie's assistance in filming, but that Xu Guanwen wants to cultivate him!

――――――――

April 6, 1980.

Early in the morning, after Shaohuai went to school, Zhang Shaojie also knocked on the door of Anita Mui's house.

Yesterday, Zhang Shaojie had already told Anita Mui that he was going to the Golden Harvest set today. Therefore, Anita Mui also asked her mother's Jinxia Song and Dance Troupe for leave, and recently said that she would no longer appear on the stage to sing.

Mei Mu was naturally furious and felt extremely dissatisfied.

However, Zhang Shaojie was relatively happy, with a slight sneer in his heart.

"Amei, for the time being, don't go to the song and dance troupe to perform, the environment there is smoky, and there are many underworlds and gangsters. And for 365 days a year, I didn't even get a rest during the holidays, so I could only earn 10,000 yuan a year. It's not worth it to perform so hard and with such a low return! Zhang Shaojie said.

Anita Mui said worriedly: "There are only more than ten people in the Jinxia Song and Dance Troupe, and my sister and I are the main force in the troupe. If we don't perform, my mother's business will definitely be much colder."

Zhang Shaojie smiled: "Let her calm down and think about it herself!" You are the main singer in the troupe, but the money you make is not higher than those third-rate performers hired from outside. What kind of ability is a mother exploiting her daughter! If you don't go, let her see what kind of singer can be hired at a low price of 10,000 yuan a year! ”

Anita Mui glanced at Zhang Shaojie, although she knew that her mother was too shrewd and would not be soft to exploit her daughter with a low salary. But if she really ignored her mother, it was obvious that she was also ruthless.

In fact, Anita Mui and Mei Aifang are already well-known in the Liyuan area. Singing on the stage can attract some fans to cheer. Therefore, many dance halls are willing to pay a price of 50,000 yuan a year to poach her to perform on a larger stage.

However, the two Anita Mui sisters couldn't bear to abandon their mother, so they would rather earn less and sing in the small song hall opened by their mother.

couldn't persuade Anita Mui, Zhang Shaojie had an idea and said: "Okay, I'll pay your mother 50,000 yuan a year and let her hire some powerful singers to replace you!" And you, listen to my arrangement in the future, what do you think? ”

Anita Mui was surprised: "You give her 50,000 yuan a year?" ”

Zhang Shaojie smiled: "Can you accept this plan?" ”

Anita Mui thought about it for a while, knowing that her mother loves money very much, if Zhang Shaojie gives her mother 50,000 yuan a year, then, although she still won't treat Zhang Shaojie with a good face on the surface, she will definitely agree with Zhang Shaojie in her heart.

If Zhang Shaojie gives Mui's mother 50,000 yuan a year, Anita Mui has to guess it, and her mother will take out a maximum of 30,000 yuan to recruit a singer who can cover pop songs and make do.

Most of the money left will be quietly deposited in the bank, and the passbook will be hidden in a place where no one will find it

"She'll agree. Still, let me let you arrange? You have to have a compelling reason! Anita Mui smiled.

"Reason? I want to be an agent in the entertainment industry, would you like to be my first signed artist? Zhang Shaojie said, "Sign the contract, girl, after signing, you will be the protagonist, movie, TV, music, with my planning, you will be invincible!" ”

Anita Mui smiled and said, "Okay! That sounds serious, and I agree!"

The two drove to the Golden Harvest set.

Hong Kong has convenient road transportation, and it is about 8 o'clock, and you will be on the set.

Xu Guanwen had been waiting on the set for a long time, and said with a smile: "Today is the first time you came, I don't blame you for being late." However, the film is in a hurry, I hope to start tomorrow, at 7 o'clock in the morning, I will report to the crew! ”

Zhang Shaojie and Anita Mui naturally nodded and agreed.

"Shaojie, your remuneration has been negotiated! It is mainly divided according to the box office of the movie! ”

Xu Guanwen looked at Anita Mui again and said, "Amei, you are a newcomer, and in this play, it is mainly a drama between men." You play Ah Zhen, the girlfriend of Deng Xiaolong, the second male protagonist in the play. What needs to be shown is your simple, kind, affectionate and righteous side. For this role, the crew gave a salary of 30,000 yuan, what do you think? ”
