91. Meet

"Uncle Lin, thank you for your help this time" Chen Yihua, Wang Tianlin and Wang Jing entered the Peninsula Hotel together, and when Chen Yihua came out, he specially asked Zhao Kun to drive past the radio station and pick up Wang Tianlin and go together.

Wang Tianlin had nothing to do with Chen Yihua before, this time Wang Tianlin was willing to help Chen Yihua introduce Xu Guanwen, he had no interests of his own at all, it was free, what happened to Chen Yihua, he had to go in etiquette, so he specially drove to pick up Wang Tianlin.

"Ah Hua, since you call me Uncle Lin, that is, you look up to me, then you are still polite to me, what do you say thank you or not" Wang Tianlin spoke very politely, but it did not make Chen Yihua feel a sense of distance.

In fact, Wang Tianlin and Chen Yihua have only met twice, Wang Tianlin helped Chen Yihua this time, Chen Yihua also remembered his favor in his heart, and of course he was much more polite when he spoke.

"Ah Hua, I didn't help you anything, just to be an introducer, when Guanwen was in the Shaw Brothers before, I also dealt with him, and we were friends with each other, just introducing you to each other, just a gesture for me, Ah Hua, if you say kind words again, I really can't afford it" Wang Tianlin did not accept Chen Yihua's politeness generously.

When Wang Tianlin saw Chen Yihua on wireless, he just felt that Chen Yihua's background might be a bit extraordinary, and he didn't know what Chen Yihua's background was.

Now it's different, after so many days, Tianyi pager is so popular in Hong Kong, blind people can also see it, Wang Tianlin doesn't know Chen Yihua's family background now, but this does not prevent Wang Tianlin from attaching importance to and caring about Chen Yihua, because he knows that Chen Yihua is the boss of Tianyi, Chen Yihua has the brand of Tianyi pager, although Wang Tianlin's attitude towards Chen Yihua is not a compliment, but he will never really treat himself as an elder and Chen Yihua as his nephew because Chen Yihua called himself an uncle a few times.

'Ah Hua, to be honest, how did you think of making a movie' Wang Tianlin had heard the news from his son Wang Jing, knew that Chen Yihua was looking for Wang Jing to write a script, and knew the reason why Chen Yihua wanted to find Xu Guanwen, so he asked a little curiously.

Of course, although Wang Tianlin was a little curious, he was not very surprised, a person like him who had lived for most of his life, what strange people had never seen, he felt that a young master like Chen Yihua was rich, and his surname and hobbies were inevitably unique.

"Hehe, Uncle Lin, I mainly want to have fun, and it's not necessarily whether I can shoot it now, I mainly have to look at whether Xu Guanwen can read my script, if I do, I will decide to invest in making a movie" Chen Yihua is not easy to explain too much, and he can't explain clearly.

To be honest, Chen Yihua didn't lie, he wanted to find Xu Guanwen to film, it was really like he said that he was playing, a bit of a ticket surname, Chen Yihua didn't pay much attention to whether this drama could be filmed.

Chen Yihua didn't expect to invest in movies so soon, but it was also because Deng Lijun thought of the Xu brothers that he thought of "Half a Pound and Eight Two", and he was not busy during this time, so Chen Yihua decided to invest in "Half a Pound and Eight Two", this drama is completely a whim, not Chen Yihua's original plan.

'Chen Shao, if you want to make a movie, you must be able to make it, although Xu Guanwen himself is the boss, but if you ask him to shoot, he can still get along with the money' Wang Jing saw that Chen Yihua valued Xu Guanwen so much, and couldn't help but say.

The play "Half a Pound and Eight Taels" has been completed in Wang Jing's hands, although it is the outline given by Chen Yihua, but Wang Jing is very attentive to this script, and many lines in it are Wang Jing's, so Wang Jing also attaches great importance to this script, as if he was his own child, and he doesn't want such a good script to trick others into acting.

---------------

Xu Guanwen was very punctual, and he didn't let Chen Yihua wait long, Wang Tianlin and Chen Yihua saw Xu Guanwen come in, and saw him walking towards them under the leadership of the waiter.

It is impossible not to know Chen Yihua, his favorite director and superstar in his previous life, Chen Yihua can be regarded as a fan of Xu Guanwen, and many of his movies Chen Yihua likes very much.

"Guanwen, let me introduce, Chen Yihua, the boss of Tianyi pager, this is my son Wang Jing, you shouldn't have seen it before" Wang Tianlin stood up and greeted Xu Guanwen after greeting each other, he introduced Chen Yihua and Wang Jing to Xu Guanwen, and also told Xu Guanwen that Chen Yihua was the boss of Tianyi Company.

Tell Xu Guanwen that Chen Yihua is the owner of Tianyi pager, this matter was agreed by Chen Yihua himself, Wang Tianlin said so, Chen Yihua wants to find Xu Guanwen to invest this time, of course, he has to show a little strength, now who in Hong Kong does not know Tianyi pager, I believe that even if it is because of this company, Xu Guanwen will definitely deepen his trust and image of Chen Yihua.

"Hello Boss Xu, I'm your fan, I especially like your plays" met for the first time, and it was to talk about cooperation. Chen Yihua stretched out his hand to say hello to Xu Guanwen.

Xu Guanwen set up his own film company after leaving the Shaw Brothers in 1974, cooperated with Golden Harvest Company to shoot movies, and was the boss of Xu's Film Company, Xu Guanwen has acted in some movies, but until now he has only directed one play, so Xu Guanwen's current director's title is not as famous as the boss of Xu's company, Chen Yihua does not call Xu Guanwen the director, but calls him Boss Xu.

'Oh, hello Chen Shao, I didn't expect the boss of Tianyi pager to be so young, I admire you' Xu Guanwen heard that Chen Yihua was the boss of Tianyi Company, his attitude was completely different, he thought that Chen Yihua was just a young master, but he didn't expect it to be a big boss, Tianyi pager is now so famous in Hong Kong, of course Xu Guanwen knows, so his tone is very flattering.

The 76-year-old star has no star style, not as arrogant as later generations, and he will not make a lot of money by making a film, although Xu Guanwen is now very famous in Hong Kong, and he also starts his own company and makes his own movies, but his worth is not rich, for a big boss like Chen Yihua, Xu Guanwen is still very stammering.

"Boss Xu, this time it's because I have something to look for you that I asked Uncle Lin to ask you out" Wait until a few people were polite to each other for a while, and after the waiter poured the tea ordered by Xu Guanwen, sat for a while, took a sip of tea, and ate a little heart, Chen Yihua talked about business.

"Chen Shao has something to say, if you can help, you must help" Xu Guanwen said very politely, anyway, if you say politely, you don't need money, and you can shorten the distance between each other, why not do it.

'Hehe, then I'll thank Boss Xu here' After being polite to each other, Chen Yihua continued, 'Boss Xu, I came to you this time, mainly because I wanted to find you to invest in filming'

"Well, Chen Shao, if you are looking for me to film, you may have to wait for me for a while, a play I directed for Golden Harvest Company is waiting to be completed, I may have to wait for this drama to be screened before I am free" Xu Guanwen is reluctant to help others act during this time, he prefers to use the name of his company to direct and act in movies, but because of Chen Yihua's deep background, Xu Guanwen feels that it is not good to offend him, so he plans to agree.

'Oh, that's it, it's okay, anyway, you said that your drama is almost finished, and it shouldn't be long, I can wait, by the way, Boss Xu, I've always liked your movies, can I know what the name of the movie you're directing now' Chen Yihua listened to Xu Guanwen's words and didn't rush to say anything about the movie "Half a Pound and Eight Taels", but was a little curious about the movie he helped Golden Harvest make.

"Hua Shao, I know this, I read a report in the newspaper some time ago, called "Genius and Idiot"" Wang Jing interjected on the side, he has been with Chen Yihua for the past few days, Wang Jing is also a little familiar with and understands Chen Yihua, and he is not as afraid of Chen Yihua as before.

Chen Yihua didn't expect it to be this film, to be honest, Chen Yihua is quite familiar with this movie, the movie tells the story of two employees of the Neurological Hospital who like to be greedy for small and cheap, once the hospital came in with a big man's patient, and the employees of the two hospitals found that he had a treasure on him, so they did everything possible to grab the treasure story.

"Genius and Idiot" is the second film directed and acted by Xu Guanwen, because the first film (Ghost Horse Double Star) was successful, Xu Guanwen's film is still a comedy and satirical movie.

The movie tells the story of the psychiatric hospital in a mocking way, satirizing geniuses who are mistaken for cleverness, and idiots who become geniuses instead; In this way, the society and people's surnames are exaggeratedly exposed and satirized, and the society is sharply criticized.

Starring the Hui brothers, this film reflects the current situation and life in the world. This film is closely related to the take-off of Hong Kong's economy and the sense of identity of Hong Kong citizens, and the laughter and tears of the little characters in the comedy are full of the atmosphere and texture of the times. In the film, the "cold-faced smiler" Xu Guanwen's personal "nonsensical" performance brings out calm humanistic thinking in absurd exaggeration.

It can be said that Xu Guanwen's film is still very successful, and the box office performance in Hong Kong is also good.

And the theme song of this movie is a genius idiot dream, Chen Yihua used to like it very much, the irony of the song is very strong, and a lot of Hong Kong slang is added, making the song closer to the life of Hong Kong people, as if the people sung in the song live by his side. Among them, "Genius Idiot Love" is the most famous and has been covered the most. [3]

Chen Yihua remembers that Xu Guanjie's second personal Chinese album "Genius and Idiot" will also be released shortly after the release of the movie, becoming a hit track that year, and BBC radio took the song to the song order program.

Chen Yihua didn't expect Xu Guanwen to shoot this film, and it was almost finished, Chen Yihua asked people to inquire about Xu Guanwen's movements before writing "Half a Pound and Eight Taels", and knew that he was helping Jiahe shoot other scenes, so Chen Yihua planned to write "Half a Pound and Eight Taels" to avoid a crash.

At that time, Chen Yihua heard that Xu Guanjie was not filming "Half a Pound and Eight Taels", so he relaxed in his heart, and he didn't notice that Xu Guanwen was filming the movie "Genius and Idiot".
