"Half a Pound and Eight Taels" tells the story that mainly takes place between several people in the Universal Private Detective Agency.

The universal private detective agency is a small detective agency with only three staff members, including the president Huang Ruosi, because the business is not salty or light, and Huang Ruosi is stingy and mean, the employees Fugu and Jiqi, especially the former have suffered a lot.

Li Guojie, who originally worked in a soda factory, was fired by his boss because of lazy work, and he came to Magnum to apply for a job, Huang Ruosi refused to hire at first, and then saw that he did have two brushes, and he should come down, and the salary was naturally harsh.

In the process of catching the robbers, Huang Ruosi and Li Guojie were entrusted to go to a theater where they were previously threatened by robbers and the robbers were in and out of the existing robbers, and in the process of catching the robbers, Huang Ruosi was frightened and injured by several gunshots from the bandit leader, but Li Guojie subdued the robbers with wit and reaped unexpected benefits, and the identities of the two were reversed for a while.

Because Chen Yihua is very familiar with the content of the movie, Wang Jing's script is written in detail, and Xu Guanwen saw the script given by Chen Yihua, and was immediately deeply attracted by the content in it.

"Half a Pound and Eight Taels" is a comedy, and the cold joke comedy in it is very appetizing to Xu Guanwen, he feels that this film is like it was tailor-made for him, and the more he watches it, the more he can't put it down.

"Half a Pound and Eight Two" was originally written by Xu Guanwen, and the characters in it are very in line with the image of the Xu brothers, although the play "Half a Pound and Eight Two" still takes the route of comedy and satire, but compared with Xu Guanwen's first two directed films, although the content in it is still a bit ironic, but it is not as heavy as the previous two, and the film is more important to highlight the effect of comedy.

"Chen Shao, can this drama be directed by me, I promise to definitely make this movie well" Xu Guanwen read this script and was completely attracted by it.

Originally, Xu Guanwen's expectations for Chen Yihua's movies were not very high, but when Chen Yihua made movies because he had too much money, burned them, and saved a lot of money, Xu Guanwen didn't believe that a layman like Chen Yihua could have any good movies.

Because it is difficult to refute Chen Yihua's face, as long as the play is not too bad, Xu Guanwen wants to agree first and act for Chen Yihua, just make some extra money for himself, but after seeing Chen Yihua's script, Xu Guanwen's mind changed, and he is now full of ideas to get this script, he feels that the characters in it are too appetizing for himself, and even two of the roles are very suitable for his two younger brothers.

"Hehe, Boss Xu, I took out this drama to direct it for you, I want to make a movie purely on a whim, because this story suddenly appeared in my head, so I want to see what the effect will be" Chen Yihua looked at Xu Guanwen's reaction after speaking, and found that when he heard his words, he couldn't help but have an excited expression on his face, and Chen Yihua decided to make it clear.

"Boss Xu, I want to find you to make a movie this time, it is purely my personal entertainment, I don't have my own film company, I want to give full authority to your Xu Film Company to produce this movie, as for the funds for the film, I can bear it, what do you think" Chen Yihua said indifferently while sipping the English black tea in his hand.

'Ah, that's so grateful to Chen Shao' Xu Guanwen thought that Chen Yihua knew Wang Tianlin and would definitely be able to make a movie on his own, but Xu Guanwen didn't expect Chen Yihua to not do it himself, having such a good script is purely an investment, and handing over all the power to Xu's Film Company, which is really good and preferential for Xu Guanwen.

"Boss Xu, this script is written by me, I have my own understanding of the characters in it, I feel that the three protagonists in it can be handed over to you Xu brothers to play, you can play Huang Ruosi, the president of the Universal Private Detective Agency, your brother Xu Guanjie can play Li Guojie who outwits the thief, Xu Guanying can play the chicken bubble' Chen Yihua will of course say some of his own requirements for "Half a Pound and Eight Taels", and I believe that even Xu Guanwen is not so familiar with the character creation in it.

"Of course, of course, I also think that our brothers are very suitable for these roles, to be honest Chen Shao, I really thank you for giving this script" It seems that Xu Guanwen's excitement has not passed, from just seeing Chen Yihua's script to the present, Xu Guanwen's mood has been very excited, and he is of course very happy to hear that Chen Yihua let several brothers play roles in the play.

'Boss Xu, don't be busy being happy yet, I still have some requirements, for the two supporting roles in the story, I also have two candidates in my heart' Chen Yihua doesn't know if he will change the play "Half a Pound and Eight Two" beyond recognition because of his own interference, he feels that the "Half a Pound and Eight Two" in his previous life is already a classic, and he doesn't want to make too many changes, so Chen Yihua, an important role in it, wants to put forward his own opinions.

In the story of "Half a Pound and Eight Taels", the heroine Ji Qi, there are not many roles, but it is also very important, Chen Yihua thinks that you can't play this role, but it must be good-looking, now in Hong Kong, the role of a young girl, Chen Yihua feels that Zhao Yazhi is the most suitable, and it belongs to a vase that can attract the audience.

There is also a very important role in the play, that is, the villain bandit leader, in his previous life, Chen Yihua felt that Shi Jian's bandit debut was very good, and Chen Yihua did not decide to change it.

Shi Jian is an old actor in Hong Kong, he has filmed with many big-name stars, and he has also worked with Bruce Lee, most of the roles he plays are big rebels, in his previous life, Shi Jian's deepest image of Chen Yihua was the bandit leader in "Half a Pound and Eight Taels", and the role of Qiu Qianren in the Legend of the Condor Heroes, he felt that when Shi Jian played these two roles, he not only portrayed the characters very well, but also very into the play, and interpreted the two roles to the fullest.

Xu Guanwen listened to Chen Yihua talk about these two people, he didn't object, and he thought it was good, Shi Jian is an old actor in the Hong Kong film industry, and everyone is familiar with it.

Zhao Yazhi, Xu Guanwen They also know that Zhao Yazhi was the first "Miss Hong Kong" palace runner-up in 1973, although he has not filmed any scenes until now, but he has shot a lot of advertising posters, since Chen Yihua, the big boss, has put it forward, of course Xu Guanwen wants to give Chen Yihua face.

"Boss Xu, I have a small request, I want Wang Jing to study with your crew, and I don't want any high position, give him an assistant director, and let him run errands for you" Seeing that Xu Guanwen agreed to the few actors he chose for "Half a Pound and Eight Taels", Chen Yihua continued.

Chen Yihua discussed with Wang Jing before meeting Xu Guanwen, Wang Jing himself also wants to join the crew to do important work, Wang Jing is a miscellaneous person in wireless now, and he has long been a little tired, how to say that the script of "Half a Pound and Eight Taels" also has his share of credit, and it is the first time Wang Jing himself has written a script, so Wang Jing wants to see this script take shape in his eyes.

Chen Yihua also felt that it was also necessary to install his own person in the crew, after all, he was not very familiar with Xu Guanwen and them, Chen Yihua used the money to invest in making movies, if he didn't know the cost of the money, it would be too irresponsible.

Of course, of course, this is no problem' Of course, Xu Guanwen will not object to letting Wang Jing into the crew, this does not look at Chen Yihua's face, but also gives Wang Tianlin face, how to say that Wang Jing is also Wang Tianlin's son.

"Boss Xu has something to say in person, don't be afraid of anything embarrassing" Chen Yihua saw that Xu Guanwen agreed very happily, but then there was a hesitant expression, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't seem to know how to open his mouth Yes, so Chen Yihua took the initiative to ask.

"Chen Shao, how can I say it, my Xu's Film Company is now cooperating with Golden Harvest, and my Xu's Film Company is not strong, so the investment in the films I directed is generally half that of Golden Harvest, and many of the equipment is provided by Golden Harvest, and the authorship rights of the films made by my film company are all written as belonging to Golden Harvest Productions" Xu Guanwen was a little hesitant at first, but this kind of thing cannot but be made clear.

Xu Guanwen just wanted to help Chen Yihua act in a play, but he didn't expect this script to be so attractive to him, and now that this play is directed by himself, Xu Guanwen has to make it clear.

"It's nothing, the movie can be released in the name of Golden Harvest, I don't have a film company of my own, you Xu's Films don't care, I don't need it anymore, I can let Golden Harvest invest, but the final share should be based on the investment ratio of the three of us, you can count the rent of the equipment borrowed from Golden Harvest" Chen Yihua was not surprised by this matter.

Now Hong Kong movies want to be released, either written Shaw Brothers Publishing or Golden Harvest Publishing, if Golden Harvest is not allowed to invest in it, "Half a Pound and Eight Taels" will not be released at all, after all, Chen Yihua has no theater in his hands.

And the main purpose of Chen Yihua's desire to shoot "Half a Pound and Eight Taels" this time is not to make a lot of money, but to test the waters, in order to make friends with some people in the film and television industry, and to accumulate some contacts first.

Xu Guanwen finally sighed when he heard Chen Yihua's words, he thought that Chen Yihua was introduced by Wang Tianlin, and if Chen Yihua asked Shaw Company for help, it would be difficult for Xu Guanwen to do it.

Since Xu Guanwen left Shaw Brothers, Xu's Film Company can only rely on Golden Harvest Film Company if it wants to succeed, Xu Guanwen himself does not have much money, the investment in the early stage of making movies, and the equipment for making movies, without Golden Harvest's investment, Xu's Company cannot operate at all, and there is no cinema at hand, leaving Golden Harvest, Xu's Film Company will definitely not be able to continue.

Now Xu Guanwen is still only a little famous, and he has not yet won the title of 'cold-faced smiler', Xu Guanwen is not as valuable as Chen Yihua's little finger, and only one of the director's plays has been released.

Under the suppression of the two giants of Shaw Brothers Films and Golden Harvest, Xu's Films can only be regarded as surviving, and Xu's Film Company is actually working for Golden Harvest, but it has its own share, which is a little more free and makes more money than other workers, but most of the profits of the film are still taken away by Golden Harvest.

Xu's Film Company is called a company at best, but in fact it is just a studio, with no equipment and no property, and it is just a shell company.
