Chapter 191: Golden Harvest's Olive Branch

"Sarcasm?" Zou Wenhuai waved his hand and said with a straight face: "How can you be sarcastic, this time your "Smiling Proud Jianghu" is a classic, but it's a pity that ......"

Zou Wenhuai shook his head lightly and did not continue.

Pity? It's a pity that I met a non-human! Li Xuan let out a long sigh and said helplessly: "I didn't expect that the resistance of Shaw Brothers Pictures would be so great. ”

"Ha, why do you think I left the Shaw Brothers back then?" Zou Wenhuai laughed softly: "It's not just that the Shaw Brothers system is aging, but also because Shaw Brothers Pictures and Shaw Brothers Cinemas have become two poisonous snakes biting each other's tails, and it is not okay to separate them without making great efforts." It's just that although I sent this suggestion to the above, I think you all know the consequences by now. ”

"This Shaw Brothers is really Bo Xishan." Li Xuan sighed.

"Okay, okay, today is the celebration banquet of my Golden Harvest "Modern Bodyguard", just talk about some foreign affairs." Zou Wenhuai patted Li Xuan's shoulder, held the wine glass and said, "Thank you for coming today, contemptible people do it first!" ”

After Zou Wenhuai finished speaking, he picked up the wine glass and drank it all, not like the style of half a glass of liquor walking around the world at every wine banquet before, and it could be seen that Zou Wenhuai was really happy this time.

At this time, Li Xuan and the others also raised their glasses and saluted Zou Wenhuai with a glass of wine.

"Ah Xuan, after this time, your movie will be brought to Golden Harvest, and I will assure you that everything will be seen in attendance, and there will definitely be no bad things that stop you!" As soon as Zou Wenhuai put down the wine glass, he said complacently.

"Haha." Li Xuanchang laughed and said, "Then I'll thank Uncle Huai first." ”

Zou Wenhuai is a very righteous person for people who know him well.

Just as Hong Jingbao later made films for other film companies, such as "Beware of Little Hands" for Golden Harvest's rival Golden Princess's "Yongjia Film Company" and many films produced by Debao, Golden Harvest was responsible for the distribution of his films in overseas markets.

At this time, Zou Wenhuai was so polite to Li Xuan, in addition to the fact that the movies made by Li Xuan's company generally sell well and make a steady profit, but also because the Golden Princess Cinema Line is pressing step by step. The Golden Princess, who has canceled the bottom gold system in the theater, is not generally strong in attracting Reading Power Film Company, and film companies such as Colorful, New Art City, Xieli, and Brothers have surrendered one after another, and even Wu Siyuan, who has always had a good relationship with Zou Wenhuai, also took Siyuan Film Company to the arms of the Golden Princess.

Golden Harvest Pictures is not self-sufficient like Shaw Brothers, which has nearly 40 films a year, and after these wholly-owned film companies switched to the arms of the Golden Princess, Golden Harvest gradually found that the source of its own cinema began to be insufficient. And the source of the film is insufficient, and the blow to the theater chain is fatal! This can be seen from the fact that Princess Jin would rather cancel the bottom gold system than win over Reading Power Productions.

At this time, Li Xuan, who happened to be choked by the Shaw Brothers and had nothing to do with Princess Jin, naturally became one of the owners of Reading Power Film Company attracted by Zou Wenhuai.

At this time, Zou Wenhuai deliberately made friends here, Li Xuan would not refuse, and after some eager conversations between you and me, the banquet was suddenly full of jubilation, so lively.

"Ah Xuan, you kid has a lot of ideas, and you play movies in sets, but what do you think of kung fu movies in the early Republic of China now?" Zou Wenhuai, who was halfway drunk, looked at Li Xuan and asked.

However, as soon as Zou Wenhuai's words came out, there was silence at this table, and everyone looked at Li Xuan to see what advice he could give.

Li Xuan was also slightly stunned, but then put down the chopsticks in his hand and chuckled: "Kung Fu movies in the early Republic of China? Uncle Huai still needs to ask me, Brother Sanmao is not the most vocal. ”

"Uh." Hong Jingbao, who was sitting next to him, looked embarrassed at this time, and only after half a sound did he mutter: "Ah Xuan, don't make fun of me, if the kung fu film in the early Republic of China is the same as before, can I go to supervise the filming of "Zombie Taoist"......"

Li Xuan and the three of them were talking about it here, but they didn't notice the gloomy face of Chenglong next to him. Listening to the conversation between several of them, Chenglong, who has not spoken a word, now has deep doubts about the "Mouse Street" directed by himself.

Could it be that kung fu movies in the early Republic of China really declined?

"Hey!" Zou Wenhuai sighed and asked slowly: "Recently, in this movie world, I am becoming more and more incomprehensible. ”

Li Xuan smiled and quipped: "Why Uncle Huai, you don't want to leave the big mess of Jiahe and leave, right?" ”

"Haha, how can you do it." Zou Wenhuai waved his hand and said with a smile: "Sir Shao is now in his 70s and is still working the front line of film and television, I ask myself if I can't compare to him, but I won't retire so early." ”

"That's good, that's good, I'm afraid that I won't be able to take care of Uncle Huai when I make a movie." Li Xuan nodded lightly and smiled.

"No, don't worry." Zou Wenhuai patted Li Xuan's shoulder with a smile, groaned for a while, and then asked, "Then Ah Xuan, you are also not optimistic about kung fu movies in the early Republic of China?" ”

Li Xuan frowned slightly, then glanced at Chenglong next to him before he said slowly: "Uncle Huai, I can only say that I have never watched kung fu movies in the early Republic of China from the beginning. ”

“……”

Li Xuan's words obviously made Zou Wenhuai stunned, kung fu films in the early Republic of China were one of the magic weapons for Golden Harvest to make a fortune, and he has been enjoying super high treatment at Golden Harvest, which can be seen from Cai Yongchang's willingness to spend 4.8 million Hong Kong dollars to dig up Chenglong.

However, now some people even say that he is not optimistic about kung fu movies in the early Republic of China from the beginning? What kind of logic is this......

Looking at Zou Wenhuai, who was a little stunned, Li Xuan suddenly patted his forehead and suddenly explained, "Uncle Huai, you misunderstood. I didn't look down on kung fu movies in the early Republic of China, but because I only came from the north in 78, I said that the beginning was from 78. ”

“……”

Listening to Li Xuan's bullshit explanation, the corners of Zou Wenhuai's mouth couldn't help twitching, isn't it worth three years from 1978 to now? You must know that Chenglong, this guy was also dug up by our Jiahe in the past three years.

calmed down a little depressed, Zou Wenhuai asked in a sullen voice: "Then Ah Xuan, in which direction do you think kung fu movies will develop in the future?" Is it a fashion kung fu movie like your "Black Man"? ”

"Hmm." Li Xuan nodded, and continued: "But more than that, I divided fashion kung fu movies into two categories - kung fu comedy and action-adventure. And "Black Man" and "The King of Killers", where I did photography, are just two small members of the action-adventure film. As for kung fu comedy......"

Seeing that Li Xuan suddenly hesitated, Chenglong on the side finally couldn't help it, and hurriedly asked out loud: "Then Ah Xuan, another kind of kung fu comedy, what does it look like in your imagination?" ”

"What does it look like?" Li Xuan glanced at Zou Wenhuai with a smile, then looked at Chenglong playfully and said, "What, does Ah Long want to transform?" ”

"Haha-"

As soon as Li Xuan's words fell, Zou Wenhuai laughed and said: "Ah Xuan guessed well, this kung fu film in the early Republic of China has declined, and our Ah Long has been worried about the transformation recently." Tell me, what is the meaning of this fashion kung fu comedy? ”

"What do you mean?" Li Xuan shrugged his shoulders and said with a flat face: "Just look at the name, fashion plus kung fu plus comedy." ”

“……”

Li Xuancai will not be stupid enough to cast out the old bottom, in the future, Hong Jingbao's series of fashion kung fu comedies will be big hits, how can he not get a piece of the pie for this kind of good thing. And this time, you must first sign the contract for the filming of the sequel, and then you can't be like "Mr. Zombie", which became popular with a large group of people, but the money earned from filming the sequel didn't have much of your own.

"Ah, haha, Ah Xuan is right." Zou Wenhuai is also a good person, and immediately guessed what Li Xuan was hiding, so he said with a smile: "Then Ah Xuan, are you interested in co-producing a fashion kung fu comedy with Golden Harvest that you said?" ”

As soon as Zou Wenhuai said this, everyone at the scene was shocked!

Make no mistake, this guy just co-produced a movie with Shaw Brothers Pictures and made a lot of money in other cities. Now Zou Wenhuai actually came up with a daze, saying that Golden Harvest wanted to make a new movie with this guy.

Li Xuan, this guy, is he trying to go against the sky? (To be continued.) )
