Chapter 27: Bai Xiaoman commits suicide
"Which one is Yuanlou?" Xu Guanwen was stunned when he heard this name at first glance, and he couldn't remember who this person was.
"It's Hong Jingbao's junior brother, the young man with a big nose, whose flower name is 'Big Nose'." Xu Guanwu explained with a smile.
"He?! is not handsome, and his temperament is not tall, how did you think of holding him the protagonist? Xu Guanwen frowned.
At that time, the protagonists of martial arts films were all played by Wang Yu, Di Long, and Jiang Dawei, who were heroic and extraordinary, and had outstanding temperament. Cheng Long is not handsome, and he begged Gu Long to write a script for him, but Gu Long sourly said: "The male protagonist of my novel was filmed for Di Long and Er Dongsheng." The young Cheng Long was so angry that he hid in the toilet alone and cried.
"I'm optimistic about this young man, he is lively and active in his bones, and I'm looking for such a male protagonist in this play." Xu Guanwu said with a smile, "Big brother, if you believe me, this young man will definitely be even more popular than Bruce Lee." ”
"If I become more popular than Bruce Lee, I won't be delusional, it's good to be able to make a few blockbuster kung fu movies. In this way, I will give you 500,000 Hong Kong dollars to shoot, even if you lose, you will lose. Xu Guanwen saw that the second brother was so confident, and he also strongly supported him.
"500,000 is more than enough, big brother, I promise that I won't lose, and I will make you a lot of money." Xu Guanwu said with a smile.
"Serpentine" is a low-budget kung fu film, the set is outrageously simple, often in the middle of nowhere, and the machine is set up to fight, almost saving the money for renting a set.
And several important characters in the film, such as the old name Hanako, the owner of the Eagle Claw Gate and others, can be selected from the Seven Little Blessings. As a result, you can save a lot of money.
In this way, this "Serpentine Trickster" can actually be filmed with only more than 300,000 yuan.
"Director, which one are you going to use? Or do you want to shoot Wu Yusen? Seeing that Xu Guanwu was so sure, Xu Guanwen couldn't help but ask curiously.
"Wu Yusen is going to film "Fa Qian Han", so I plan to find Hong Jingbao to shoot this drama." Xu Guanwu shook his head and said.
"Nonsense, Hong Jingbao is just a martial arts instructor, and he hasn't even done it as an action director, what does he know about storyboarding? Why don't you let him do it? Xu Guanwen immediately said angrily when he heard this.
Film directing is a very demanding profession, and you can't just find someone to take on it. At that time, the rules set by Shaw Brothers were that even if the assistant director wanted to correct it, he would have to do it for at least seven or eight years.
In the future, Liu Jialiang became a director step by step from a dragon and tiger martial artist, and it took almost 20 years, when he was already in his forties.
If Hong Jingbao is really made the director position this time, then he will become the first person in Hong Kong to be a competent director.
"Hong Jingbao has also been an action director before, and he has a flexible brain and is eager to learn and think, you forgot that you let him conceive funny martial arts, didn't he finish it well?" Xu Guanwu said with a smile, "What's more, if our company wants to develop, we must always have our own director." Is it impossible to borrow a director from Golden Harvest every time? ”
"Okay, since I promised you 500,000, let you toss." Xu Guanwen saw that his younger brother looked like he had eaten the scales and was iron-hearted, so he didn't listen to persuasion, so he had to let him go, so as not to waste his lips and tongue.
……
After the dinner, Xu Guanwu volunteered to be a flower messenger and sent Zhao Yazhi home, of course, Wen Cun was indispensable along the way.
The next day, Xu Guanwu got up refreshed, and then saw a large headline in the newspaper that read: "The fragrance is gone, and the soul is gone." A generation of star Bai Xiaoman committed suicide in his apartment yesterday!"
Xu Guanwu was suddenly shocked, Bai Xiaoman would commit suicide, he had seen the report in his previous life. originally thought that after crossing over, he had disturbed the pool of water in the Hong Kong film industry, causing many characters and events to deviate from the previous trajectory.
For example, in the previous life, Wu Yusen only helped in "Ghost Horse Double Star", but in this life, he became the director of this movie; Zhao Yazhi originally had to wait two years before stepping into the film industry, but now she has made her debut with "Ghost Horse Double Star"; Qi Xiaofu originally had to work hard in the film industry for a few years, and it was not until the late seventies that he began to emerge......
But I didn't expect the inertia of history to be so strong, and Bai Xiaoman couldn't escape the fate of suicide in the end. This made Xu Guanwu fall into contemplation, "Could it be that he has crossed over by himself, and he will not change anything in the end?" Xu Guanwu was still unknown in the end? Xu Guanying still wants to die alone? Are Hong Kong films still doomed? …… So what is the purpose of crossing over by yourself? ”
Xu Guanwu fell into the paradox of philosophy and science, and he couldn't calm down for a long time.
……
Syllable!
A stack of newspapers slammed against the desk with a crisp sound.
"Say, does this matter have anything to do with you?" Zou Wenhuai pointed to the report in the newspaper and asked He Guanchang with a cold eyebrow.
"Raymond, you and I have worked together for many years, don't you know me? I said earlier that I was going to find someone to break her black material, because the box office of "Sound of Dogs and Horses" was really high at that time. But within a few days, the box office of "Ghost Horse Double Star" had already caught up, so the black material I collected and sorted out didn't come in handy at all, how could I force her to commit suicide by taking sleeping pills? He Guanchang shouted wrongly.
"You collected her black material on the front foot, and she committed suicide by taking medicine on the back foot, how could things in the world be so coincidental?" Zou Wenhuai said with a calm face.
Although he is a heroic figure, it does not mean that he has no conscience. Seeing such a flower-like girl with a bright future, she felt faintly uneasy in her heart.
"Raymond, it's really none of my business, even if I break the news, I just want to snipe at the box office of "Lustful Dogs and Horses", why do I have to make her commit suicide?" He Guanchang said rather depressedly, "I have already sent someone to investigate this matter, and there should be further news soon." ”
Zou Wenhuai glared at him and didn't speak again, just sat there smoking and sulking, and after a while, the entire office was filled with smoke.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
"Come in!" He Guanchang snorted unhappily, and saw a flying boy with a peaked cap walk in.
"Boss Zou, Mr. He, everything has been inquired clearly." That little Ah Fei said with a hippie smile.
"What's going on? Weishenme Bai Xiaoman will commit suicide? He Guanchang asked sharply.
"Bai Xiaoman's suicide was actually forced by the orangutan boy. The orangutan boy was when she was messing around in Causeway Bay before, and she met a flying boy stinky Ah Fei. The two of them often messed around together at that time, **, opening a house, stealing, jumping immortals or something. Later, after Bai Xiaoman was asked to be a big star, he got rid of this orangutan boy, so he was very unconvinced," that little Ah Fei said vividly, "So when Bai Xiaoman became an instant hit, the orangutan boy called and harassed him repeatedly, and he still had a lot of photos of Bai Xiaoman nude 1 and **." claimed that if he didn't give him 3570,000 yuan, he would sell it to the newspaper to make her ruined. Bai Xiaoman couldn't get the money, and he was afraid that he would never be able to see anyone again after the photo was published, so he had to die. It's a pity that a big beautiful girl is finished like this. That little Ah Fei took a sip of saliva.
