029 Xu Guanwen

Founded in 1974 by the four Hui brothers (Hui Guanwen, Hui Guanwu, Hui Guanying and Hui Guanjie), Hui's Brothers Pictures Company is one of Hong Kong's satellite companies to replace Shaw Brothers as the film hegemon.

The four heroes of the Hui family are all well-known figures in the Hong Kong entertainment industry in the seventies and eighties, and it can be said that the last five years of the seventies and the first five years of the eighties, the entertainment industry in Hong Kong in the past ten years is the world of their four brothers. Of course, the most famous among them are the younger brother Xu Guanjie and the eldest Xu Guanwen.

Xu Guanjie's reputation in the entertainment industry has not yet reached the point where he is the most valuable in the future, but he can be regarded as a well-deserved brother in the music industry, the word "God of Song" is the best evaluation of him, and only Tan Yonglin and the rising star Zhang Guirong can be compared with him, but there is still a lot of gap between the two future emperor superstars and Xu Guanjie.

Xu Guanwen used to be a member of the Shaw Brothers, and in 1973, he voted the script of "Ghost Horse Double Star" to the Shaw Brothers, hoping to share the profits equally with the Shaw Brothers joint venture film, with the Shaw Brothers' hegemony in the film industry and Shao Yifu's "reading talent" rule, even Li Xiaolong, who is like Zhongtian, he doesn't pay attention to it, where is he willing to agree to Xu Guanwen's conditions.

In this way, Xu Guanwen and Li Xiaolong's experiences are somewhat similar, they are both dissatisfied with the domineering of Shao Yifu, the head of Shaw Brothers Pictures, and turned to Golden Harvest.

In the second year, Hui's Sijie founded Hui's Brothers Film Company, and it was "Ghost Horse Double Star", as the pioneering work of the new company, it broke the Hong Kong box office record after its release, and then "One Hundred Pounds and Eight Taels" broke the box office record again, and other such as "Genius and Idiot", "Deed of Sale" and so on have achieved very good box office results, and Xu Guanwen has also become the best comedian in Hong Kong, until the successful "usurpation" of Zhou Xingchi later, Xu Guanwen took the title of the first comedian.

Xu Guanwu, the second child of the Xu family, is only famous in the circle because he is engaged in behind-the-scenes work, and his popularity in the society is not as good as those actors and singers who stand in the foreground; As for the third brother Xu Guanying, it can't be said that it is bad, but it is much worse than the achievements of Xu Guanwen and Xu Guanjie, but he is still one of the most well-known artists in the Hong Kong film industry.

Inside a private room at the Surabaya Tea House.

"Haha, Awen, you're finally here, you haven't been here for a long time." Cao Dahua shouted at a middle-aged man who pushed open the door and came in.

Chen Shaoyi looked up and saw that today's main owner had finally arrived, and he also had a knowing smile on his face.

The middle-aged man is Xu Guanwen, who is wearing a brand-name dark black suit, a red bow tie, and a pair of black-framed eyes.

Xu Guanwen also smiled, sat on the guest seat under Cao Dahua's greeting, and said, "Uncle Hua, I really want to come over and talk to your old man, but I haven't been free; As soon as you called, I would rush over immediately, but I couldn't keep you waiting. ”

"Understand, understand, your Xu Brothers company is now an emerging force in the Hong Kong film industry, the achievements made in the past few years are obvious to all, and it is right to be busy with work, but you should not be like this in the future, people don't make money to play, you still have to rest when you should rest, you see Uncle Hua is good here, remember to come to spend often in the future." In the end, Cao Dahua did not forget to introduce some business to his teahouse.

The corners of Chen Shaoyi's mouth hooked, this Uncle Hua is really getting older and more stubborn.

Xu Guanwen didn't look so funny in the film, but he was more serious in private, he was teased by Cao Dahua, and almost squirted out the tea in his mouth, and hurriedly said with some embarrassment: "I must come often, I must come often." ”

Seeing this, Cao Dahua laughed again, "Awen, come and introduce you to a child......

Chen Shaoyi didn't wait for Cao Dahua to finish his introduction, stood up and stretched out his right hand, and introduced himself: "Hello Mr. Xu, I'm Chen Shaoyi, I like to watch your movies very much, your performances are very exciting, there are not many acting skills like you in Hong Kong." ”

As soon as Xu Guanwen entered the door, he found Chen Shaoyi, and when he saw that when Cao Dahua invited him, there was a young man to accompany him, and he thought that Cao Dahua's invitation to himself today might be related to this young man, and he was a little curious about the identity of this young man, but Cao Dahua didn't say it, and he couldn't ask questions, so he could only greet Cao Dahua for a while.

After seeing Chen Shaoyi introduce himself, although Xu Guanwen still didn't know Chen Shaoyi's identity, he still politely stretched out his hand and shook it with Chen Shaoyi, and said modestly: "Chen Sheng is polite, I feel very honored to be appreciated by Chen Sheng, but when it comes to acting, no one of us here is Uncle Hua's opponent, Uncle Hua's detective is acting like a fire, he is simply a detective himself, this is a model for my generation to learn." ”

Yes, this Xu Guanwen did not forget to praise the owner of this room, Cao Dahua, but the detective played by Cao Dahua is definitely a must, and Chen Shaoyi also empathizes, and can't help nodding yes again and again.

"Okay, you Awen, I'll take Uncle Hua as soon as I come." Cao Dahua pretended to be dissatisfied.

"Uncle Hua, how dare I do this, I respect you for your old age." Xu Guanwen said with a serious expression.

"Okay, I'm not going to tell you that. Ah Wen, I think you may not even know who Shao Yi is, and you are honored to be honored with this honor, it is too hypocritical. Cao Dahua sneered unceremoniously at Xu Guanwen.

Xu Guanwen listened to Cao Dahua's words, he was very embarrassed, holding Chen Shaoyi's hand or not, he didn't let it go, he froze there, and secretly said in his heart that this Uncle Hua really didn't suffer at all.

Cao Dahua stopped at the point, Xiao Sheng just went back, and did not continue to tease Xu Guanwen, and asked: "Awen, do you know about Li's recent movements?" ”

"Uncle Hua laughed, Li's recent defeat of wireless, this is a big event in the entertainment industry, how could I not know."

"Then do you know why Li's defeated Wiless?"

"Isn't it the drama "Hero Huo Yuanjia", this drama is really exciting, but I watched it every night, and I didn't have any thoughts about managing the company during that time."

Cao Dahua nodded, very satisfied with Xu Guanwen's answer, "Then do you know who wrote the script of "The Great Hero Huo Yuanjia". ”

"Uncle Hua means ......"

Xu Guanwen is also shrewd, as soon as he heard Cao Dahua's words, he understood Cao Dahua's meaning a little, and subconsciously glanced at Chen Shaoyi, seeing Chen Shaoyi smiling indifferently, he was even more sure of what Cao Dahua meant.

Cao Dahua smiled and said, "Awen, you may have guessed it, that's right, that script was written by Shao Yi." ”
