Chapter 465: A Rare Chicken in Life
"Yes, I think you have a very good sense of the camera in that drama, and you have the feeling of shooting a movie, so I wanted to get to know you at that time. It's just a pity that Mr. Wu Siyuan took the lead, which is really a pity. Xu Guanwu sighed and said.
The expression on Xu Ke's face at the moment was extremely exciting, and being praised by Xu Guanwu, a film tycoon, in person really made him feel flattered. Everyone knows that the employees of Xu's are well paid, whether it is a director, actor, screenwriter, or even a behind-the-scenes staff, the salary is two to three percent higher than that of other company peers.
Moreover, directors, leading actors, screenwriters, producers, etc. can also receive dividends from it, which is a benefit that other film companies do not have. Therefore, being able to go to Hui's to shoot movies is the wish of many people in the entertainment industry in Hong Kong.
When Xu Ke was filming a TV series on Jiayi TV, he was fighting with his old rival TVB. Although his TV series was very innovative and made the TV series with a movie-like feeling, the ratings were still sluggish. On the contrary, TVB dramas in the same period are of average quality, but they have super high ratings.
Since then, Xu Ke has already had the idea of changing jobs. As a young director with pursuits, ideals, and drive, Xu Ke naturally hopes that his works can be welcomed by the audience, which is even more attractive than giving him a high salary. But with the consistently sluggish ratings of Jiayi TV, it can't satisfy his wish at all.
At this time, Wu Siyuan's appearance out of thin air immediately gave him great hope that he could jump from the small screen to the big screen, and from a TV series director to a film director. Xu Ke was undoubtedly very happy. That's why he's so conscientious. Even during the Chinese New Year, there are no holidays. still took the actors to work in this studio to shoot.
Xu Ke is also very grateful to Mr. Wu Siyuan, if it were not for his promotion, he would not be where he is today. But now he has a little regret, if Xu could have invited him first, wouldn't he have entered Xu's Film Company now?
However, this kind of remorse only flashed for a moment, and Xu Ke then smiled faintly, "Thank you Mr. Xu for the compliment, I am really flattered." ”
"Good." Xu Guanwu nodded, "The movie you are making now, I heard that you want to create a new school of martial arts movie classics?" ”
"Not bad." Xu Ke didn't want to be modest at all, so he nodded directly, "Because I think the current martial arts movies have reached the point where they urgently need change." And I want to use my "Butterfly Change" to create a new situation for Hong Kong martial arts films. ”
Xu Guanwu couldn't help but be a little stunned when he heard Xu Ke's bold words, "Why doesn't this Xu Ke speak at all and is modest?" If you ask other directors this sentence, you will definitely modestly say that this is just public opinion propaganda, and it depends on whether the audience cheers for it. Xu Ke is not modest. is also said so naturally and generously, but it also shows a bit of true temperament.
"Director Xu is really ambitious. I really admire it. If the movie is released by then, I will definitely buy a ticket to go to the show. Xu Guanwu said with a smile.
Xu Ke listened to Xu Guanwu's words, and couldn't help but smile and nodded. Xu Guanwu is the owner of Xu's Film Company, and the Siyuan Film Company he works for is a subsidiary of Golden Harvest. It stands to reason that the two companies should be mortal enemies, and if Xu Guanwu really goes to Golden Harvest Cinema to watch "Butterfly Change", it will definitely cause quite a stir.
At that time, maybe the newspaper will also write, "The new martial arts movie "Butterfly Change" is very exciting, and the boss of Xu's Pictures is also full of praise." "This will bring a lot of attention to "Butterfly Change", and therefore it will pull a lot of box office. Naturally, it will also make the young director Xu Ke an instant hit.
"Then I'll thank you first, Mr. Xu, for your support." Xu Ke also smiled brightly and said, "When the time comes, I will definitely be waiting for you in the theater." ”
"Well, you're welcome, the prosperity of Hong Kong movies is also my business, if Director Xu can really use this film to create a new genre of martial arts movies, then I really have to thank you on behalf of all Hong Kong filmmakers." Xu Guanwu waved his hand and said with a smile.
Xu Ke was covered by this big hat, and he couldn't help but feel a little unbearable, "Mr. Xu is really over-awarded, and I just want to do my best." ”
"I believe that Director Xu, you have this ability, and I am very optimistic about your talent." Xu Guanwu smiled and said, he didn't say anything about direct solicitation, but he believed that Xu Ke had also understood.
"Yes, I also thank Mr. Xu for your appreciation, but I still have a few film contracts with Siyuan Film Company, so I can't work for you Mr. Xu." Xu Ke smiled and said.
"I understand, I understand, I only hope that one day if Mr. Xu wants to leave Siyuan and find another way, our Xu's door will always be open for you." Xu Guanwu nodded and said with a smile.
When Xu Ke heard this, he couldn't help but feel a kind of joy that he had a rare confidant in life. He is just a fledgling new director, but he is really happy to be appreciated and respected by Xu Guanwu, a film tycoon.
"Mr. Xie Lu, Mr. Xie Xu, although I don't have the idea of leaving Siyuan Film Company now, I will also keep your words in mind." Xu Ke nodded and said with a smile.
"Good." Xu Guanwu nodded concisely, as long as Xu Ke can keep these things in his heart, it proves that he did not come in vain today, which is already worth it for Xu Guanwu.
……
At this time, the actors also came over curiously after putting on makeup, and they all wanted to come and meet Xu Guanwu.
As the most powerful entertainment tycoon in Hong Kong, Xu Guanwu is naturally the object of admiration of these actors, and being able to make a good impression when he meets him may lay the foundation for the next cooperation.
In the entertainment industry, who is not exquisite and makes friends everywhere? And a film tycoon like Xu Guanwu, once he has the opportunity to get in touch, he naturally can't miss the opportunity.
Xu Guanwu then met with the actors, but saw that among these actors, there was no first-line red star. However, there are also several well-known actors in later generations, one of the most famous is Michelle, she is the most popular star of Jiayi TV today. She starred in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and "Dream of Red Mansions". are all works with very high ratings.
Xu Ke used to be a director on Jiayi TV. also has a certain cooperation with Michelle, so she was selected as the heroine in this movie.
After graduating from TVB's artist training class, she starred in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" filmed by Jiayi TV in the second year, and it was the first TV series in Hong Kong with more than one million viewers, which can be called a sensation in Hong Kong, Kowloon and the New Territories.
Later, although Jiayi TV went bankrupt and closed down, Michelle was able to move between wireless and Li, and filmed many popular and popular dramas in the form of a ministry. still maintains her status as a popular actress. Even in the new century, Michelle has returned to the wireless door, and it is still highly used. The starring "Heart Storm" series still achieved super high ratings and won the Best Actress Award from Thousands of Stars, which shows that it is still popular back then.
An actor like Michelle who can be popular from the 70s to the new century is actually rare in Hong Kong, which shows that Michelle herself is really very good. And it is rumored that this person has a high emotional intelligence, which can be called exquisite, and can be reused in three TV stations one after another, this kind of communication skill is really extraordinary.
And another actor who plays Fang Hongye is Mr. Liu Zhaoming. That is, the dance teacher of Xu's Xinghui Art School, known as "Ming SIR". He is said to be the most skilled dancer in Hong Kong. He went to France to study dance and was the first Hong Kong dancer to make a name for himself internationally.
In the dance course offered by Xinghui Art School, Mr. Liu Zhaoming was invited as a teacher. Of course, in addition to teaching at Xinghui Art School, Liu Zhaoming also has a dance school himself, and is also responsible for choreographing for TV stations, teaching star actors dance steps, etc., and is respectfully called "Ming SIR".
This "Butterfly Change" is Liu Zhaoming's first time as an actor, and he is the protagonist from the beginning, which is really lucky, but the pressure is naturally not small. However, he is a talent that can be cultivated, whether it is the grandmother who plays the male and female grandmother in "A Chinese Ghost Story", or Qiu Daqian in "A Thousand Kings and Heroes", etc., he has played a very successful role, which can be said to be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
There is also a Kaohsiung who plays the main supporting role, who is also a familiar face in the Hong Kong entertainment industry, although he has not played any leading role, but he has been making film appointments, and it can be said that he is also very chic.
Although several actors also came to report their names, Xu Guanwu didn't have much impression of their names, and he didn't think it would be a big hit, or a character with gold and green, so he didn't pay attention to it.
is an old acquaintance with Liu Zhaoming, and Xu Guanwu chatted with him more. In addition, like Michelle, she was also his favorite actress in her previous life, so she was naturally more enthusiastic. Of course, because Lin Qingxia was by his side, Xu Guanwu was not too attentive.
Xu Guanwu remembered Mi Xue, but when she was a child, she watched the "Hero Huo Yuanjia" starring her, as well as the popular "Going to Tiger Mountain Again". In the 80s and 90s, she was really popular in the mainland of China, north and south.
Xu Guanwu was also obsessed with it for a period of time when he was a child, and he once bought a lot of stickers to make a mess of his textbooks. But now seeing the real person, Xu Guanwu couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
The live-action version of Michelle is darker than it looks on the screen, and it is thin and small, which is much inferior to what it looks on TV. However, her smile is still innocent, and she speaks without leaking, which makes people feel so comfortable, so that Xu Guanwu can't help but secretly admire, thinking that it is no wonder that she can travel to the three major TV stations, and they are all treated as pillars.
"MING SIR, THIS YEAR'S XINGHUI ART SCHOOL RECRUITS NEW STUDENTS, AND I HAVE TO BOTHER YOU TO WORK HARD." Xu Guanwu said to Liu Zhaoming with a smile.
"I don't dare to say that it's hard," Liu Zhaoming waved his hand and smiled, "In short, I will do my best 100%. ”
"Mr. Xu is really amazing, Xinghui Art School has really cultivated a lot of talents in recent years, such as Lu Liangwei who starred in "Male Thief and Female Singing", "Bad Life", "Raptors Crossing the River", like Chen Yulian who starred in "Lu Xiaofeng" and "The Knife in the Wind Chime", etc., are all very amazing newcomers." Michelle clapped her hands and laughed, "What a great act of kindness." ”
"Thank you Miss Yan for the compliment, I'm actually not so noble anymore, I just wanted to add some film talents to Xu's family." Xu Guanwu said with a smile.
Michelle's surname is Yan, and Michelle is her stage name. And her sister Sydney is also a familiar face of TVB, and has starred in Huang Rihua's version of "Dragon Babu" Mrs. Ma, Gu Tianle, Li Mochou in Li Wantong's version of "The Condor Heroes", etc., most of them are scheming and ruthless female characters.
After chatting with several actors in "Butterfly Change" for a while, he took a photo with them for almost an hour, and in order not to delay Xu Ke to continue filming, Xu Guanwu took Lin Qingxia to say goodbye to them, and then left China Cinema by car.
As soon as Xu Guanwu left, there was a phone call from China Film City to Hong Kong's Siyuan Film Company. (To be continued......)
