Chapter 66: New Nen Assistant Director

Zou Wenhuai smiled: "Who is not from the newcomers." In fact, I am fully convinced that if you can write a good novel, you can also write a good script. In his early years, Ni Kuang was a newcomer in screenwriting, but he was able to write "One-Armed Knife"! Gu Long is the hottest screenwriter of martial arts movies! Yishu, Qiong Yao, Li Bihua and other great writers are also first-class screenwriters in the film and television industry! I see, you can do it! "Modern Bodyguard" is your first script, and it is quite well written, and in the future, your script will probably become more and more popular. In the future, if you have a good script, I hope you can still take care of us Golden Harvest! ”

"Definitely, definitely!" Zhang Shaojie heard that Zou Wenhuai had such a posture, and said that it was fake not to be moved.

Who is Zou Wenhuai, he is the godfather of Hong Kong movies who became popular with Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan, and Xu Guanwen!

What's even more rare is that Zou Wenhuai adopted the method of a satellite company, allowing his big stars and directors to have their own companies.

Those satellite companies are generally film production companies, Golden Harvest is only a shareholder, Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan, Sammo Hung, Xu Guanwen and other big directors, not only own the company's shares, but also can have a considerable right to speak.

Of course, although Xu Guanwen and others own their own companies, the major shareholders of those companies are all Golden Harvest. The investment, distribution and other aspects of the film also depend on Golden Harvest's distribution channels.

To put it simply, the main business of Golden Harvest Corporation is the cinema chain, distribution and other more profitable parts.

The main role of those production companies is to shoot enough films to supply Golden Harvest's cinema chain.

Golden Harvest's cooperation method has made those big directors and big stars who have their own ideas more recognized.

At the same time, it also began to smash the anachronistic business model of the Shaw Brothers.

In the 50s and 60s, Shaw Brothers made outstanding contributions to the Hong Kong film industry. By the early 70s, the business philosophy of Shaw Brothers had lagged behind the times, because Shaw Brothers did not realize the difference between the film industry and other industries, but regarded film production as a factory production, and regarded every director, actor, and crew member as a screw in the factory, and it was impossible to pay much more remuneration and dividends than others in the system in order to encourage a genius director or star.

Because, at that time, most of the stars and directors in Hong Kong were from Shaw Brothers. Therefore, Shaw Brothers is proud and believes that his system is the most reasonable and the most energetic mechanism for continuously producing stars and directors!

Although, Run Run Shaw knows that doing so actually kills the positive surnames of some talented directors and actors. However, for the overall benefit of Shaw Brothers, Shaw was resolute in suppressing any heresy that challenged his established system.

Moreover, Run Run Shaw believes that as long as his own system exists, stars and directors can be cultivated as much as they want. For the sake of so-called popular stars and directors, it is completely unnecessary to change the established system.

But, as it turns out, the film industry is special!

Excellent directors, actors, and crew resources are limited, and they pay great attention to talent and personal effort, not as much as you want to train.

Golden Harvest Company has continuously poached the most elite directors and actors of the Shaw Brothers, and in just over ten years, the Shaw Brothers film company has declined to the extreme.

And because of the system, Golden Harvest is in line with the development trend of the film industry, so the level of production has far exceeded that of Shaw Brothers!

In fact, Zou Wenhuai's model of challenging authority and encouraging directors and stars to set up their own production companies has brought the Hong Kong film industry to a new era.

Later, in the 80s, hundreds of production companies in the Hong Kong film industry were established one after another. Powerful cutting-edge production companies such as Xinyicheng and Debao have emerged, in fact, they are also the light of Golden Harvest Company!

If it weren't for Golden Harvest Company, which broke the unspoken rules of Shaw Brothers in the 70s and liberated the filmmakers who were bound by the large company system, it would not have produced the unprecedented blowout development of the Hong Kong film industry in the 80s!

――――――――

The main investor of the movie "Modern Bodyguard" is Golden Harvest Film Company. has a big production of 5 million Hong Kong dollars, even Zou Wenhuai does not dare to be sloppy.

The director of the film is Xu Guanwen, and Zou Wenhuai himself serves as the producer.

With Xu Guanwen's box office appeal and Golden Harvest Company's distribution ability, this film, as long as it can not be made badly, the box office is almost sure to be a big hit!

In the film industry, producers represent the interests of investors, and it is generally difficult to get along with directors.

However, Zou Wenhuai and Xu Guanwen are old partners, Zou Wenhuai generally agrees with Xu Guanwen's talent and thinks that there is no need to interfere with Xu Guanwen's filming.

Since Xu Guanwen's debut, he has been popular, whether it is as a host in TVB or making movies in Shaw Brothers, his popularity is a spectacle!

Up to now, Xu Guanwen has risen to the level of the most popular director and actor in Hong Kong.

However, Xu Guanwen is very modest and does not have much arrogance!

At the beginning of the movie, it was Xu Guanwen who played Zhou Shichang's big appearance, his Sam and other security guards, who respected him on the surface, but in fact kept playing small actions.

In the gym, only Zhou Shichang is exercising.

However, the fitness equipment has been manipulated by the subordinates.

Zhou Shichang used a tension device, but the spring of the tension device collapsed, and he screamed and hurt when he was beaten.

Zhou Shichang was about to use the exercise bike, but the seat of the exercise bike was obtained, and only the bare sharp irons were left underneath. If you accidentally sit on it, your butt will be stabbed and painful.

Zhou Shichang, who was extremely unlucky in the gym alone, couldn't see the previous embarrassment at all after leaving the gym, but shook off his majesty in front of his subordinates.

At the time of breakfast.

In order to show his authority, Zhou Shichang suddenly dragged the long dining table to his side. Let the position of the bench of the other employees remain the same, but their own breakfast is moved to the position of the person in front.

Eating breakfast, also chicken and egg beating, one by one employees expressionless, handed the breakfast in front of them to the people behind, and the group of people moved one after another, just like the production line of the factory.

Have a breakfast, eat like the production workshop of a factory. Although those actors are expressionless, dare to be angry and dare not speak, anyone who watches this scene will find it funny!

Captain Zhou Shichang, seeing the embarrassed appearance of the employees, was proud in his heart.

At this time, an employee pretended to read the newspaper while eating breakfast and drinking drinks.

When Zhou Shichang was most proud, the one suddenly pretended to choke, and a mouthful of food scraps not only sprayed through the newspaper, but also sprayed Zhou Shichang's face

“cut!” Xu Guanwen said, "It's spraying my face, holding a newspaper, using some strength, okay?" You're going to spray food through the newspaper in one go, and the scraps of food are going to be sprayed on my glasses and my face! Seriously, this is a more classic comedy shot! Can't be perfunctory! ”

Zhang Shaojie is an assistant director on the side, but he is always half a beat slower than Xu Guanwen, which is useless.

However, through careful observation and learning, coupled with the directorial knowledge in his brain, Zhang Shaojie quickly absorbed Xu Guanwen's directing skills!

This scene was discussed by Zhang Shaojie and Xu Guanwen before. Xu Guanwen did not dislike this clip of him being sprayed on the face, but praised it, thinking that this very novel appearance appeared at the beginning of the movie, which can better portray the character's surname - on the surface, he is majestic, but in fact he is unpopular and constantly teased by his subordinates.
