043 Discussion on Chen Shaoyi
Xu Guanwen imagined the scene of meeting Chen Shaoyi for the first time, and said to everyone with a smile: "The reason why I was surprised is because the other party's age is only about 20 years old, and he actually did something that caused a sensation in the Hong Kong entertainment industry at this age." ”
"Twenty years old? So young. ”
"Did you do something that caused a sensation in the Hong Kong entertainment industry? What is it? ”
Xu Guanwen said with a smile: "This sensational thing in the Hong Kong entertainment industry is that this screenwriter wrote a TV drama script that broke the Hong Kong TV ratings record and helped Group Li to fight wirelessly. ”
"Big brother, are you saying that he is the screenwriter of "The Great Hero Huo Yuanjia"." Xu Guanjie understood which TV series Xu Guanwen was talking about as soon as he heard it.
"I seem to have seen it on the title of "Hero Huo Yuanjia", what is this screenwriter's name Chen." Xu Guanying tilted her head and thought hard.
"Chen Shaoyi." Xu Guanwu thought for a moment and said.
"That's right, it's called Chen Shaoyi." Xu Guanying said and asked Xu Guanwen, "Big brother, is "Modern Bodyguard" really written by this Chen Shaoyi?" ”
"Yes."
Xu Guanying couldn't help but stand up, "It's incredible, a young man who is only about twenty years old can write such a "Modern Bodyguard" that meets our brother's heart." ”
Xu Guanjie lightly touched the script in his hand, "And he can also write a TV series masterpiece like "Hero Huo Yuanjia", how did this Chen Shaoyi do this, I am really curious, this is not scientific." ”
Xu Guanwen couldn't cry or laugh, "Ajie, your management of people's science is not scientific, the facts are in front of you, these two dramas are written by this Chen Shaoyi, and another TV series "The House of Kindness of the Earth is in the Pearl River" is still being broadcast on Li's TV station, which is also a classic TV series that defeats wireless." ”
""The House of Kindness of the Earth in the Pearl River" was also written by him? yes, it seems to be his work. Xu Guanying recalled the opening screenwriter column of "The House of Kindness of the Earth in the Pearl River", which seemed to be written with the words "Chen Shaoyi".
In fact, most people don't care much about who the screenwriter of a drama is, and few viewers really pay attention to this issue. The Xu brothers were just out of professional instinct, glanced at the screenwriter column, and remembered the name Chen Shaoyi.
This is also one of the reasons why Xu Guanwen believed in Chen Shaoyi when he interviewed Chen Shaoyi, because Xu Guanwen also remembered that the screenwriter of "The Great Hero Huo Yuanjia" was indeed Chen Shaoyi, although it may be the same name, but in that environment, Xu Guanwen still chose to believe Chen Shaoyi.
Xu Guanwu thought for a while and asked: "Big brother, since this Chen Shaoyi sold the scripts of "The Great Hero Huo Yuanjia" and "The House of Kindness of the Earth in the Pearl River" to Li, then when you go to Uncle Hua today, is it this Chen Shaoyi who wants to sell us the script of his "Modern Bodyguard"?" ”
"That's right, it's still the second brother who reacts quickly. Big brother, you said so much, is that what you want to say? ”
Xu Guanwen sighed and said helplessly: "You are right, but you are not right. ”
Xu Guanjie was confused by Xu Guanwen's sentence, "Big brother, you better make it clear, I don't even know what you're talking about." What does it mean to be right and not right? ”
Xu Guanwen explained: "The reason why you are right is because today it is true that Chen Shaoyi invited me to talk about the script of "Modern Bodyguard" in the name of Uncle Hua, but it is not Chen Shaoyi who wants to sell this script to us. ”
""Modern Bodyguard doesn't sell it to us, so what does he have to discuss with you?" Xu Guanying didn't have a good airway.
Although Xu Guanying only read the script of "Modern Bodyguard" for the first time, he was deeply attracted by the storyline in the script, and felt that this script was better than the ghost horse comedies played by the brothers before.
Xu Guanwen saw Xu Guanying's thoughts, and smiled at Xu Guanying: "A-Ying, don't think that you alone have a great vision and see the excellence of this "Modern Bodyguard"; How could Chen Shaoyi, as the screenwriter of "Modern Bodyguard", not know the excellence of this drama, so he does not plan to sell the script of this "Modern Bodyguard", but invests in it himself, and what I was invited to discuss today is to invite me to join "Modern Bodyguard" with the three of you and play the three protagonists in the play. ”
"He wants to ask us to act, doesn't he know that our brothers are worth a lot?" Xu Guanjie was surprised.
"How could I not know, this Chen Shaoyi doesn't know what the origin is, and he has to invest five million to shoot this "Modern Bodyguard" in one go." Xu Guanwen sighed.
Chen Shaoyi feels that Xu Guanwen is really a mysterious character, very mysterious.
First of all, Chen Shaoyi preemptively, Cao Dahua revealed his identity as the screenwriter of "The Great Hero Huo Yuanjia", which shocked Xu Guanwen, and then Chen Shaoyi took out the script of "Modern Bodyguard" that made Xu Guanwen excited, and then he didn't frown his brows, and threw out the idea of filming "Modern Bodyguard" for 5 million, and finally Chen Shaoyi's understanding of the entertainment industry and speculation that the Hong Kong box office of "Modern Bodyguard" can reach more than 15 million, which means that if you want to break the box office record, you must break the box office record.
All these things Chen Shaoyi did made Xu Guanwen more and more unable to see through him step by step, and he became more and more shocked.
So in the end, Xu Guanwen proposed that Chen Shaoyi also play a role in the play, the purpose is not only that Xu Guanwen is optimistic that Chen Shaoyi is an actor, but also because after doing so, Chen Shaoyi needs to come to the set often, so Xu Guanwen can have more contact with Chen Shaoyi, understand Chen Shaoyi more, and befriend Chen Shaoyi.
In short, Chen Shaoyi is now a mysterious figure with many talents and wealth in Xu Guanwen's mind, and maybe the background may be very good (Cao Dahua's recommendation and Chen Shaoyi's arrogance), so how could Xu Guanwen let go of Chen Shaoyi's "fat sheep".
"Five million? Pick, it's really TMD rich, the four of us brothers don't necessarily have so much money from their hard work in a year, this Chen Shaoyi dares to invest so much in one movie, which is not much better than Zou Wenhuai's atmosphere. ”
"Who says it's not. After discussion, during the filming of "Modern Bodyguard", Chen Shaoyi paid me and Ajie 500,000 yuan, A-Ying and A-Wu were 300,000 and 200,000 respectively, and our four brothers had a total of 1.5 million. Xu Guanwen recounted the value given by Chen Shaoyi.
"This Boss Chen is still generous, and the value of me and my second brother is good, it seems that the two of us are still stained with the light of the eldest brother and Ajie." Xu Guanying heard that he also had an offer of 300,000 yuan, and when he called Chen Shaoyi, he began to use compliments.
Xu Guanjie also thinks that this remuneration is very good, "Although this "Modern Bodyguard" is not a drama filmed by our own company, it is a pity, but since the value given by others is quite real, I have nothing to say, and I also agree to play this Ah Sam." ”
Xu Guanwu shook his head and said that I have no opinion.
