Chapter 632: Hesitating left and right

Wu Siyuan heard Xu Guanwu praise Xu Ke so much, and for a while he didn't know if he really liked Xu Ke, or if he was digging a pit for himself to watch the excitement.

After all, Xu Ke has filmed these two works successively, and the box office is dismal to death, which really makes Wu Siyuan have no way to hold on. Because of Xu Ke's two works, Wu Siyuan lost almost two million Hong Kong dollars, which basically made him lose almost all the money he earned in the past few years.

Of course, if he borrows money from the bank, he can also make up a sum of money for filming. But if he loses again, then he will declare bankruptcy. So now he is very suspicious that Xu Guanwu is deliberately touting Xu Ke, so that he can spend money on Xu Ke to make a film, and then lose money.

After all, Xu Guanwu is the CEO of the Xu Group, and it is a little unreasonable to be idle and have nothing to do to praise the director under the rival's banner. The only explanation that works is that Xu Guanwu will dig a pit for him again, so that he can jump in by himself, and there is this trick in Qianshu.

But if it wasn't Xu Guanwu who deliberately dug the hole, but Xu Ke was really a very talented director, then if he gave up now, would the previous two million be lost in vain?

Wu Siyuan was also in the clouds for a while, and he really didn't know what to do.

In his previous life, Xu Ke successively made two movies "Butterfly Change" and "No Gate to Hell" under the guidance of Wu Siyuan, although the box office of the two films was not very good, but Xu Ke became famous in one fell swoop and became a very representative New Wave director at that time. So at that time, there were many film companies that wanted to invite Xu Ke to film, but they were blocked by Wu Siyuan.

Wu Siyuan thinks that Xu Ke is a person from his own company, and it is no problem to invite him to film, so he will give him the money lost in the first two films first. He was willing to let him go. After all, the two films lost a lot of money. If I don't take it back. It is equivalent to Xu Ke's talent, which he raised for nothing.

Later, Wu Siyuan invested in Xu Ke to shoot the popular thriller "The First Type of Danger", which was originally thought to be an urban police and bandit theme, and it should not be difficult to sell high box office. Unexpectedly, Xu Ke played Dafa again this time, chose a few teenagers as the protagonists, made bombs to blow up the theater, and later fought with American mercenaries, needless to say, the picture is bloody, and the subject matter is too dark.

Plus there's a lot of hot news involved in the movie. It is also a juvenile crime theme, and Hong Kong's public security was unstable in those two years, so the film "Type 1 Danger" failed to pass the review at the beginning, and then it was finally released, and it caught up with several very cruel child gang crimes, and "Type 1 Danger" was immediately designated as a banned film.

All three films lost money, and even the cost was not recovered. At this moment, Wu Siyuan knew that he couldn't afford to raise Xu Ke, the uncle, so he had to respectfully invite this great bodhisattva out of his small temple.

It is worth mentioning that the reason why Wu Siyuan had the ability to invest in Xu Ke to make three films in his previous life was mainly because he unearthed the superstar Cheng Long at that time. The filming of "Serpentine Trickster" and "Drunken Fist" have achieved extremely high box office, so although Xu Ke has lost money. But on the other side, Cheng Long helped him make money, so he could still support it.

But in this life, Cheng Long was excavated by Xu Guanwu early, and "Drunken Fist" and "Serpentine Trickster" were not produced by Siyuan Film Company, which made him lose a lot of income. In addition, Wu Siyuan and Golden Harvest cooperated with Kai Siyuan Film Company, although they made money from more than a dozen films, Golden Harvest also wanted to get a piece of the pie, and there was not much left for Wu Siyuan. Coupled with the disaster of Xu Ke, a loser, Wu Siyuan almost lost his old book, so he was naturally not as heroic as in his previous life.

……

After Zuo Qiuming and Qian Jiang asked Xu Guanwu two or three questions about the movie "No Door to Hell" and director Xu Ke, they felt worthy of Wu Siyuan, so they turned the topic to Xu Guanwu's retirement life.

Xu Guanwu rarely came out to do things after retirement, but as soon as he came out, it was a big deal, and a few days ago he also prepared to set up the Xiangjiang Film Club, and to award the Academy Awards belonging to Hong Kong filmmakers, which is really the most important thing in the Hong Kong entertainment industry this year.

However, in addition to these known things, what Xu Guanwu will do at other times, whether he has new plans, whether he will make a comeback, etc., is also what everyone wants to pay attention to. It's just that Xu Guanwu has been interviewed a limited number of times, and it is limited to his own media, and now he finally seized the opportunity, and they didn't ask him to have fun.

Xu Guanwu didn't hide it from them, so he told him about his usual diligent practice of calligraphy. When Zuo Qiu Ming and Qian Jiang heard this, they looked at each other in disbelief.

Since becoming famous, Xu Guanwu, who has been in Hong Kong and Hollywood, has mainly stayed at home to practice calligraphy after taking a back seat? ! Not to mention that readers won't believe this news, and neither will these two reporters. Could it be that tigers don't eat meat and should eat grass?

They also have the luxury of digging up a big news, such as Xu Guanwu's intention to acquire Hollywood's eight major film companies, wow! As soon as this news was exposed, it was bound to sell well. Or Xu Guanwu fell in love with that female star, although the news was of almost high grade, it was also a big hit. Or Xu Guanwu is planning to re-emerge from the rivers and lakes, and is planning to acquire a listed company recently. Although it is not very popular, it is quite topical.

But if Xu Guanwu retired and wrote calligraphy at home with self-cultivation, such an article would be read by ghosts. There are no breaking points, no urine spots, no highlights, and these three no-news news are fooling people. By now, you're insulting the IQ of our brothers!

Xu Guanwu saw that they didn't believe it, so he had no choice but to talk to Xuanli, saying that he was nominally practicing calligraphy, but in fact he was practicing a kind of qigong. This kind of qigong was handed down by the sage Wang Xizhi of the year, and it is said that it was created according to the five bird opera and the guiding technique, which can not only benefit life and prolong life after practice, but also have the miraculous effect of tonifying the kidneys and strengthening the body, and eternal youth.

Hearing Xu Guanwu say this, regardless of whether it was true or not, Zuo Qiu Ming and Qian Jiang finally began to get excited. If this is well written, it is also quite interesting, of course, it would be better if there were more details.

"Mr. Xu, as far as I know, the sage Wang Xizhi doesn't know martial arts, where is there any magical qigong handed down?" Zuo Qiu Ming asked curiously.

Xu Guanwu said nonsense, "At first glance, you have no culture, why did you even forget the idiom of 'three points into the wood'?" Back then, Wang Xizhi wrote on paper, and his strength penetrated the back of the paper. The ink seeped into the plank underneath as deep as three minutes. You said. If the scholar is just a weak scholar. Will it be that strong? ”

Zuo Qiu Ming and Qian Jiang glanced at each other, and they both nodded in a sudden understanding, "I see, it's because we are lonely." I don't know how long Mr. Xu has been practicing this qigong, what kind of heat has he practiced, and how many points has he entered? ”

Xu Guanwu laughed, "I just started cultivating, and I don't even have a point at the moment." At that time, Wang Xizhi's son Wang Xianzhi set this set of qigong. Wang Xianzhi practiced eighteen jars of water before he practiced. I haven't even finished practicing a tank of water now, and I haven't been able to reach the first level of skill yet. ”

When Zuo Qiu Ming and Qian Jiang heard this, they couldn't help but sigh, "No wonder Wang Xizhi and Wang Xianzhi are collectively called the two kings, and their calligraphy is unique in the world. ”

Xu Guanwu couldn't help but laugh proudly when he saw that they believed his nonsense.

Zuo Qiu Ming and Qianjiang can also cope with errands when they get this interview. returned the negatives to Xu Guanwu. They also know the importance of publishing this photo, which can indeed make both of them fame and fortune. But completely offended Xu Guanwu, and it really didn't matter to them, because according to legend, Xu Guanwu had a black X background, and the reporter who took the photo of him and Zheng Wenya dating has been missing for a long time now. The family called the police but could not find anyone, and it is still unclear whether they are dead or alive.

The industry said that Xu Guanwu was angry with him and sent someone to throw him into the sea to feed the sharks. But there was no direct evidence, and the police did not dare to investigate him. It has always been rumored in the industry that it is safer to provoke the big brother of the Black X Road than to provoke Xu Guanwu, because the big brother of the Black X Road still has some scruples, for fear that he will be attacked by the police. But Xu Guanwu is not afraid of the police at all, and there are a group of very obedient people in private, so he can be called the group of people who cannot be messed with.

Although Zuo Qiu Ming and Qian Jiang are bold enough and are also famous pen sticks, they are still a little stunned in the face of Xu Guanwu. Now that they have taken his interview and set up a relationship, they are already very satisfied, so naturally they don't have to risk being killed and release that photo of looking for trouble.

……

After Xu Guanwu got the film, he wanted to go home. At this time, Wu Siyuan suddenly stopped him again, "Mr. Xu, if you really appreciate Xu Ke, I can rent him to you for filming." ”

Xu Guanwu was stunned, "What do you mean?" ”

Wu Siyuan smiled, "I know that Mr. Xu's agency also rents out actors, directors, screenwriters, photographers and others, I want to follow your model and rent Xu Ke to you, you just need to pay a little commission." ”

Xu Guanwu nodded, "Although I appreciate your generosity, I'm sorry, our company is not short of people for the time being." ”

Xu's Group is now full of talents, and there is no shortage of Xu Ke. Moreover, Wu Siyuan made it clear that it was rented, which means that if the Xu family adjusted Xu Ke well, Wu Siyuan would still take it back. Isn't that just a chicken and egg for Xu?

What's the reason not to cultivate your own directors, but to cultivate directors from other companies?

Xu Guanwu has become more sven in recent years, but when he heard Wu Siyuan's words, he still refused directly. Unless you can turn Xu Ke all over, it doesn't matter if I spend some money. But you want me to teach people well, and you come and pick peaches again? Send you a word, where cool to stay.

Wu Siyuan saw that Xu Guanwu refused without thinking about it, and couldn't help but start thinking about it again. To be honest, when Zuo Qiu Ming and Qian Jiang were interviewing Xu Guanwu just now, Wu Siyuan was thinking about whether Xu Guanwu was touting Xu Ke for himself.

But he thought about it, thought about it, and never got his idea. Later, I had a flash of inspiration, and I thought of the way to rent out Xu Ke.

Rent out Xu Ke, first, you can recover a little rent, second, you can see what kind of quality he is, and third, you can also test Xu Guanwu's attitude.

Looking at the fanaticism that Xu Guanwu touted for Xu Ke just now, Wu Siyuan felt that if he proposed to rent out Xu Ke, Xu Guanwu should be eager to go next, and then give himself a quite generous return, so as to be able to echo what he has always said, that is, Xu Ke is really a genius.

But now seeing that Xu Guanwu refused without thinking about it, Wu Siyuan suddenly felt that Xu Guanwu had been digging a pit for himself before, otherwise why would he rent it to you and don't want it?

Wu Siyuan thought about it and felt that his idea was quite reasonable, but after thinking about it too much, he began to get confused again, "Or maybe Xu Guanwu deliberately wanted to lower the price and show that it was not uncommon, and then asked me to automatically drive Xu Ke out, and then he would sit and reap the fisherman's profits?" ”

The more Wu Siyuan thought about it, the more he felt that this possibility was also relatively large, and for a while, the two speculations were tossed in his mind like a fight, which made Wu Siyuan feel that his head was too big.

In fact, it's no wonder that Wu Siyuan thinks about it, he is actually not an indecisive person, the key is that Xu Ke is really a strange person, he obviously looks like a piece of jade, who knows that he didn't see the baby after cutting it a few times. Poor Wu Siyuan is just like Bian He, who found He's bi, and now both feet have been chopped off. If you cut it again, you will have to go to the head, so naturally you have to think more thoroughly, otherwise you don't know how to die. (To be continued......)
