Chapter 524: Defecting to the Xu Clan (I)

"Looking for Xu's help?!" Wu Siyuan and Xu Ke looked at her in surprise together, feeling that her proposal was really terrifying.

"What's wrong?! Isn't it okay to ask for help? Shi Nansheng looked at Wu Siyuan and Xu Kedao, "Xu's went to visit the class during the Spring Festival, and then came to attend the premiere, and now he is helping to do publicity, which is obviously meant to solicit." So why don't we take refuge in the past? ”

"It's not that simple, if the Xu family is like Golden Harvest, then what should we do? Only to get out of the wolf's den and into the tiger's den? Wu Siyuan waved his hand and said, "This idea is really not good, let's think of another one." ”

"Mr. Wu, in fact, you don't have to worry so much, it is a well-known fact that Hui's treats its employees well. I believe that even if we defect to the past, we will not be swallowed up like in Golden Harvest. Shi Nansheng smiled and said, "Besides, there is no second way now, unless Mr. Wu, you are powerful enough to find other rich people to invest, otherwise we have no way to fight with Jiahe." ”

"But we still have a contract with Golden Harvest, which is legally valid." Wu Siyuan waved his hand and said, "If Jiahe takes us to law at that time, I'm afraid it will be a big trouble." At that time, even the Xu clan will find it difficult to shelter us. ”

"Mr. Wu, this requires you to break your wrist. I think it's better to simply let Siyuan Film Company go bankrupt and go out of business. Shi Nansheng suggested, "After bankruptcy, these contracts can not be counted, and then we will start anew." With Mr. Wu's qualifications, with Xu Ke's talent, with Xu's financial resources. I think I'll be able to make a comeback soon. ”

"You're crazy. Do you want me to close my business? Wu Siyuan heard the words of a boy. More and more surprised, he shouted, "Impossible, Siyuan Film Company is my hard work, and I will never leave it." ”

"Mr. Wu, when you are decided, you will continue to suffer from it. Siyuan Film Company has now been swallowed by half of Golden Harvest, if you don't leave now, I'm afraid that even you will be swallowed by him. Shi Nansheng persuaded, "When the time comes, Siyuan Film Company is in the hands of others." If you still want to keep this company, you must always serve Golden Harvest. And if you have the slightest intention of resisting, they will directly collapse Siyuan, and you will still not receive a penny at that time. ”

"But ......" Wu Siyuan listened to Shi Nansheng's words, although he felt very reasonable, but he was still reluctant in his heart, after all, Siyuan Film Company was his brainchild, it was like his children, if he declared bankruptcy like this, it would be a pity for him.

"Nothing more. Mr. Wu, you need to get an idea as soon as possible. Golden Harvest won't give you much time. Shi Nansheng persuaded. Now that they have drawn "Butterfly Change", it is clear that they have issued the most obscure ultimatum, and it is estimated that they will force you in two days. When the time comes, you won't be able to stand alone, and you won't be able to last long. ”

"But we didn't have anything to do with the Xu family before, and now we want to rush over, and I don't know what the Lu Dao family means." Wu Siyuan hesitated for a moment and said, "If someone else didn't want to take over, wouldn't it be a mistake?" ”

"Mr. Wu, if you can trust me, I will go and tell them on behalf of the company." Shi Nansheng smiled and said, "Anyway, I'm just a nobody, even if I am rejected, there is nothing to be ashamed of." ”

"Alright then, Miss Shi." Wu Siyuan nodded, "Everything is up to you." ”

"Don't worry, Mr. Wu, I'll do my best." After Shi Nansheng finished speaking, he immediately left the company and went straight to Xu's.

Wu Siyuan glanced at Xu Ke, "Miss Shi is worthy of being a heroine among women, Xu Ke, you must not miss her." ”

Xu Ke couldn't help blushing when he said this, "Mr. Wu, don't joke with me, I have nothing to do with her." ”

"Nonsense, it's nothing, she will give up her high-paying job at Jiayi TV Station and come to my small company with you?" Wu Siyuan smiled and said, "Don't be too reserved, take the initiative when it's time to take the initiative." Are you not as bold as your daughter's family? ”

"Mr. Wu, don't talk about me. If we take refuge in the Hsu family this time, what should we do? Xu Ke asked Wu Siyuan.

"There's nothing to do, Siyuan Film Company still has more than one million Hong Kong dollars in its account, and there are still more than a dozen movie copyrights in the library, which is worth about eight million Hong Kong dollars in total." Wu Siyuan smiled bitterly and said, "I used to think that my company was good, and it was more than enough to be less than the bottom, but I didn't expect that the last calculation would be this bit of a family background." Compared to Jiahe and Xu's, I can't even get a hair. It's a shame that I'm still an old-timer who has debuted for many years. ”

"Actually, I blame Jiahe for being too ruthless, "Butterfly Change" could have made money, but I didn't expect it to be forcibly painted by them, which is really outrageous." Xu Ke said.

"Alas, in fact, I should have known that Jiahe was unreliable. At the beginning, the Xu brothers' movie, I don't know how much money Lu Dao made for Golden Harvest, which made up for the gap left by Bruce Lee's sudden death, so that Golden Harvest could continue to compete with Shaw Brothers. As a result, because of Zou Wenhuai, He Guanchang couldn't tolerate people, forcing the Xu brothers to run away. Wu Siyuan sighed and said, "I knew that they were so small, and I shouldn't have cooperated with them a long time ago." ”

"Alas, at first, I thought Golden Harvest was a great company that supported so many independent film companies. Unexpectedly, he used the theater chain to control these companies, and then gradually swallowed them up. Xu Ke also said disdainfully, "They are doing it like this, no wonder they are becoming more and more unpopular." ”

"Yes, as far as I know, even the Yuan brothers are planning to leave." Wu Siyuan gloated and smiled, "The Yuan brothers have been fighting for Jiahe for life and death in the past few years, but the gains are minimal. Seeing Hong Jingbao, Cheng Long and his group have all gone international, but they are still working hard in Hong Kong, and their money is less than one-tenth of others. Therefore, Yuan Jiaban has long been anti-minded, but now no company dares to invite them. ”

"Why didn't they go to the Xu family? Hasn't the Hui family always liked to recruit talent? Xu Ke asked suspiciously.

"It's better to be the head of a chicken than the queen of a cow. Since the Xu family already has a Hong family class, they also have a family class. I heard that Yuan Biao also plans to form a group by himself. In the future, there are already three major kung fu teams. And they are all brothers. With the same gas and branches, the natural muzzle is the same as the outside. The Yuan family brothers may not be reused, and they will inevitably be squeezed out by other martial artists. Wu Siyuan shook his head and said, "So they don't plan to defect to the Xu family." ”

"But where did other small film companies get the financial resources to support Yuan Jiaban's gang?" Xu Ke sighed and said, "The Shaw Brothers' movies are now in decline, even if they are still as prosperous as before, they also have Liu Jiaban and Zhang Jiaban." It is impossible for the Yuan family brothers to be reused. ”

"This is actually the times that make heroes. The Yuan family brothers are talented, but there is no stage to show. Wu Siyuan smiled and said, "It is one of the most painful things in a person's life to be ambitious and talented." ”

"If I hadn't met Mr. Wu, I wouldn't have had the opportunity to make a movie." Xu Ke said with a smile.

"Alas, I'm just one step ahead, in fact, if it's a little later, if you take refuge in the Xu family, you must have achieved even more now." Wu Siyuan waved his hand.

"That's hard to say. I've heard that whenever Hui's film is made, it has to be reviewed by a seven-member team in advance. You also know the way of me. I like to do things whimsically and unrestrainedly. Xu Ke smiled and said, "If I enter the Xu family, I'm afraid I won't even be able to pass a movie." And even after it passes, there is still a strict supervision by the producer when making the movie, how can I stand it? ”

"Actually, it's time for your temper to change, and it's not a good thing for someone to take care of you. It's like Xu's Gui Zhihong, who almost died when he made a film before, but now he is not obedient to being cleaned up, and the film is becoming more and more exciting and more and more popular. If you make a profit, the company is happy, and the audience is happy, so why not. Wu Siyuan smiled and said, "If this "Butterfly Change" is filmed according to my mind, it will be better than the current box office." I told you a long time ago that I wanted Fang Hongye to fight at the end of the game, but you don't have to say that the protagonist doesn't know martial arts is the feature of this movie. As a result, you see how disappointed the audience's reaction was. ”

"Actually, I specially arranged it, but the Hong Kong audience can't get used to it." Xu Ke blushed and said, "You can't make money from this movie, Mr. Wu, I will do a good job in the next movie." ”

"Forget it, it's useless to talk about it now." Wu Siyuan waved his hand and said, "I only hope that after Miss Shi goes, she can get good conditions for us." ”

Xu Ke couldn't help but nod when he heard Wu Siyuan say this.

……

On the top floor of Xu's headquarters, Xu Guanwu's office.

"What?! A young lady named Shi Nansheng is looking for me? Xu Guanwu couldn't help but be a little surprised when he heard that the assistant came to report.

Shi Nansheng, Xu Ke's wife, one of the Seven Monsters of Xinyi City, is responsible for managing the company's accounts, and is a veritable housekeeper. And it is precisely because of Shi Nansheng behind the scenes that the rear of the new art city is as stable as Mount Tai, and it can achieve such good results in the 80s.

And the reason why Xu Ke has become one of the most famous directors in Hong Kong is actually inseparable from Shi Nansheng's help. In the early days, Xu Ke came back from studying in the United States and entered Jiayi TV because he was appreciated by Shi Nansheng. And then he was able to become a director on Jiayi TV immediately because of Shi Nansheng's exceptional promotion.

Later, because of the dark trilogy of "Butterfly Change", "No Door to Hell", and "The First Type of Danger" before and after Siyuan Pictures, the box office suffered fiascos one after another. During that time, Shi Nansheng still stayed by Xu Ke's side and never gave up.

The most talented and eager to develop the new art city will be famous, but Xu Ke, who has a poor reputation, will be recruited into the company. Shi Nansheng also entered the new art city with him, and was used to being a person in the management, and immediately put away the chaotic administrative system of the new art city, laying the foundation for the rapid development of the new art city in the future.

Then Xu Ke fell out with Xinyicheng and started a film studio independently, and it was Shi Nansheng who was responsible for controlling the administration of the film studio, so that Xu Laowei always had the funds to shoot new films. Otherwise, with Xu Laowei's ability to spend how much money he has, he is afraid that the film studio will be able to close down after making a movie.

Shi Nansheng is the woman behind Xu Ke and his helper in his career, and the two have always been regarded as a model husband and wife in the Hong Kong film industry. It's just a pity that no matter how perfect the husband and wife are, there are times when they disintegrate after the worst, and the two end up in divorce, which makes people sigh.

Xu Guanwu is very aware of the details of the Seven Monsters of Xinyi City, except for the actor Ishida, no one else seems to be able to replace him. Actor Ishida was a second-tier comedian in Hong Kong at the time, moving between Shaw Brothers, Golden Harvest and independent film companies, because he was the only well-known actor in Endeavor Film Company at that time, and he was familiar with the Hong Kong film industry, so he became the second boss of Endeavor Film Company.

Later, Lei Tycoon acquired Endeavor Film Company, and Ishida also became the second boss of Xinyi City, but in fact, his contribution to the company was not great. In the early days, Xinyi City was only open and lacked actors, and he played the starring role in several movies, and the position was still relatively important. However, as the new art city grew, Ishida's position was gradually replaced, but he still had the second largest stake in the company.

Not doing anything but earning dividends naturally made others very dissatisfied, which also caused the subsequent separation. (To be continued......)
