Hearing that the business was coming, Chen Shaoyi didn't dare to be ambiguous anymore, and first raised the teacup to salute Xu Guanwen, "Brother Wen, today is the acquaintance of you and me, I will also borrow flowers to offer Buddha and give you a cup." ”

Xu Guanwen also added another cup of tea to himself interestingly, and then drank it all with Chen Shaoyi.

"Okay, this tea is also finished, Shao Yi should tell me what is the matter with Lao Wen, Brother Wen dare not say that he is a big man, but in Hong Kong, especially in the entertainment industry, he still mixes well, if you really have something, Brother Wen will definitely help you."

Chen Shaoyi smiled gratefully, and didn't say words of thanks, otherwise it would be out of sight.

Chen Shaoyi said straight to Xu Guanwen: "Brother Wen, that's the case, recently the younger brother wrote a movie script, I personally think it's pretty good, and I have a little spare money recently, and I want to make this movie script into a film, so I want to ask Brother Wen to deign to help the younger brother act in this play, I don't know if Brother Wen is interested?" ”

"Oh, Shao Yi actually started writing movie scripts, which is a good thing. How could I not be interested in a movie script written by a big screenwriter like Shaoyi. But this is in business, I still have to read the script before I can answer whether you want to take this drama or not. Xu Guanwen is still very happy about Chen Shaoyi writing a movie script, and he is very much looking forward to this script.

"Shaoyi, good for you offspring, when you asked me to invite Awen, you didn't say that you wrote a movie script, I knew that I would have aimed at it first, I have been looking forward to the script written by your kid for a long time. Quick, hand over the script to me. Cao Dahua eagerly urged Chen Shaoyi to come up with the script.

Chen Shaoyi smiled and took out a stack of papers from the briefcase he brought on the side, which was his latest brainchild.

Chen Shaoyi also thought that Cao Dahua might also want to read this script, so he prepared two copies when he came, and handed the two scripts to Cao Dahua and Xu Guanwen respectively.

When Xu Guanwen took over the script, Chen Shaoyi said to the other party: "Brother Wen, I wrote this script based on your ghost horse comedy, and I personally think it is very suitable for you, the "ghost horse flow" grandmaster. ”

"Oh, then I really want to enjoy this masterpiece of yours and see if it's really for me, I'm very picky about ghost horse comedy. But if it's really as you say suits me, then I'm really here today, not only know you, a young screenwriter, but also get a good movie role. Ha ha. ”

"Absolutely, I promise."

After Chen Shaoyi made a guarantee, he didn't say a word more, no matter how much he said, it was useless, as long as Xu Guanwen watched this drama, Chen Shaoyi didn't believe that Xu Guanwen could refuse, this role is more attractive and tempting to Xu Guanwen than the naked beauty and century-old wine.

Of course, Chen Shaoyi is not afraid that Xu Guanwen will not accept it, because this drama is the famous and famous "Modern Bodyguard".

Speaking of "Modern Bodyguard", it can be said to be a journey monument movie in Hong Kong film history, and the high local box office of "Modern Bodyguard" at that time scared a large number of people to death.

"Modern Bodyguard" was supposed to start production and release next year, in 1981, and the box office was, of course, the box office champion of the year.

"Modern Bodyguard" is the second film in Hong Kong film history to exceed 10 million box office (the first is 1980 Chen Long's "Brother and Brother", the box office is 10.2 million, breaking 10 million just appeared), and in one fell swoop the box office record refreshed to a height of nearly 18 million; It is also the high box office of "Modern Bodyguard" that has stimulated many investors inside and outside the entertainment industry. Since then, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Macao, Singapore, and the entire East and Southeast Asia have begun to invest a lot of hot money in Hong Kong's entertainment circles, accelerating the development of Hong Kong films, and only then will there be the prosperity of Hong Kong films in the 80s, which has established Hong Kong's reputation and status as the "Oriental Hollywood" in one fell swoop.

Otherwise, how can a place as big as Hong Kong produce the second largest number of films in the world every year, second only to Hollywood's annual film production, because there is too much money invested. Therefore, there is no shortage of investors anywhere in the world, and investors are simply more than paparazzi.

Although the plot of the whole "Modern Bodyguard" is a little too simple compared to the movies of later generations, Xu Guanwen's funny ability is rich in the film's strong Xu's humor, witty comedy, the film's cold humor is handled very well, and the laughter is also full, which can definitely make people laugh, it is an excellent film for the whole family to enter the theater for fun, suitable for all ages.

Even though Chen Shaoyi watched this film in his previous life in the nineties, he was still amused by the laughter and humor in the play, you must know that the mainstream comedy at that time was Zhou Xingchi's nonsense and Uncle Ge Youge's cold humor, but "Modern Bodyguard" can still make people laugh pleasantly, which shows how deep Xu Guanwen's funny skills are.

Just like people who have seen the psychedelic 3D masterpiece "Avatar" in later generations dare not say that "Terminator" twenty years ago was a bad film, when will the classic film still be a classic.

Many nostalgic fans also highly respect this "Modern Bodyguard", and many people have such a 30-year-old movie in their computers, and they are reluctant to put it in the "recycle bin".

Xu Guanwen plays the actor of the movie Zhou Shichang in the play "Modern Bodyguard", Zhou Shichang is an old security guard who has worked in a long-established security company for almost 15 years and is facing retirement with a pension of 50,000 yuan. Xu Guanwen's outstanding performance brought to life this kind-hearted, but a little greedy for life and afraid of death, likes to tease his subordinates, and is often teased by his subordinates. At the end of the film, the use of Zhou Shichang's 50,000 yuan pension is also embarrassing, which makes people completely change their perception of Zhou Shichang's personality. And Xu Guanwen himself won the leading actor of the first Hong Kong Film Awards because of the role of Zhou Shichang, a small citizen in the market.

"Modern Bodyguard" is only Xu Guanwen who can perfectly control the slave in Chen Shaoyi's mind, not that Chen Shaoyi thinks that Xu Guanwen is the best actor in Hong Kong at this time, but "Modern Bodyguard", a funny and funny Xu humorous comedy, if Xu Guanwen is really missing, the film will not have that taste.

And Chen Shaoyi does not dare to guarantee that after "Modern Bodyguard" changes the protagonist, whether this movie will be able to reach the box office height in the previous life; At present, there are only a few Hong Kong box office guarantees such as Xu Guanwen, Xu Guanjie, Chen Long, Hong Jinbao, etc., and now they are not the stars who grabbed a lot in the late 80s.

If "Modern Bodyguard", Chen Shaoyi didn't invite Xu Guanwen to be the protagonist, wouldn't it be possible to invite Chen Long and Hong Jin Bao to play Zhou Shichang, it's not that Chen Shaoyi looks down on these two superstars, of course, Chen Shaoyi doesn't dare to look down on others, but Chen Shaoyi still thinks it's better for these two to act in kung fu comedies; really asked the two of them to play "Modern Bodyguards", not to mention that the audience in Hong Kong did not agree, the readers did not agree, and these two superstars were not something that Chen Shaoyi, a rookie in the entertainment industry, could invite.

invited Xu Guanwen to play Zhou Shichang, Chen Shaoyi is still a little sure, first, this role is originally Xu Guanwen's, which is definitely in line with Xu Guanwen; Second, it is mainly Cao Dahua's face, and it just so happens that Cao Dahua and Xu Guanwen have a good relationship, when Chen Shaoyi chatted with Cao Dahua that day, Cao Dahua inadvertently said such a thing, which was noticed by Chen Shaoyi, who had a heart, and only then did he come up with the script of "Modern Bodyguard", and only then did he invite Xu Guanwen to Surabaya Teahouse today.
