Xu Guanwu also knew that director Hu Jinquan went to Golden Harvest the year before last to sign a contract for two films, one "The Storm of Yingchun Pavilion" and one "Loyal Martyr".

Among them, "The Storm of Yingchun Pavilion" was released last year, which was applauded and popular, and sold more than one million box office.

In this case, it is also difficult for Golden Harvest to let go.

Xu Guanwen and Xu Guanjie also hold this view.

But Xu Guanwu knew that Hu Jinquan would be invited to Taiwan to make movies in the future, and then made several films that were popular but not popular, which caused Taiwanese film companies to suffer heavy losses, and Zuihou had to sue him in court.

"For the sake of director Hu Jinquan, I always have to give it a try." Xu Guanwu said with a smile, "If there is this living Bodhisattva, our company's reputation in the film industry will be resounding." ”

Xu Guanwen nodded, if he could really invite Director Hu Jinquan to the company, he would indeed be able to strengthen the company's momentum.

"Then let's decide on the two directors Hu Jinquan and Chu Yuan first, and then we will continue to look for Xiangxia." Xu Guanwen clapped his hands and said.

Xu Guanwu continued to hold the list and flipped through it, "Gui Zhihong?!" Cult director Gui Zhihong?! ”

Xu Guanwu was taken aback, and hurriedly circled Gui Zhihong's name with a pen.

He was deeply impressed by the cult director, thinking that the "Evil" almost scared Xu Guanwu out of illness, and for a long time after watching that movie, Xu Guanwu didn't dare to stay at home alone, and he didn't dare to go to the toilet alone at night.

"You hurt me so badly back then!" Xu Guanwu couldn't help but scold, "Now it's your turn to bring disaster to others." ”

He knew that Gui Zhihong, as a cult director, had made a lot of weird and weird CULT films, such as the "Evil" series, the "Gu" series and so on.

In these films, Gui Zhi Hongjian takes a biased approach, does his best to be weird and obscene, and is full of a strong personal style, which is a rare non-mainstream alternative director in the Hong Kong film industry.

Xu Guanwu sometimes thinks that if Gui Zhihong is allowed to go to Hollywood to make films, with his CULT to the extreme, he will definitely be able to satisfy the heavy taste of European and American audiences.

After circling Gui Zhihong, Xu Guanwu continued to flip, and then saw an unexpected name - Lu Qi.

"There really is such a person in the Hong Kong film industry." Xu Guanwu muttered in some surprise.

He watched TVB's TV series "Difficult Brothers" before, in this drama that reflects the Hong Kong film industry in the sixties and seventies, Luo Jialiang played the protagonist Lu Qi, including Xie Yuan played by Wu Zhenyu, Chen Baozhu played by Zhang Keyi, and Xiao Fangfang played by Xuan Xuan.

The theme song "Difficult Brothers" is very good, Xu Guanwu's mobile phone ringtone is the song used, and he still sings it until now.

"I didn't expect this Lu Qi to become a director, and he is also a third-level film director. No way! Xu Guanwu said in surprise.

A popular student who starred in aiqing films in the Cantonese film era, after becoming a director, actually made a tertiary film, Xu Guanwu wanted to grab his neck and ask him, "Are you going to be so depraved?" ”

However, Lu Qi's "Danish Girl" also sold millions at the box office last year, and he is also capable of making tertiary films brilliantly.

"If you recruit him into the company, will "When the Peach is Ripe", "**" or something, be released in advance soon?" Xu Guanwu said with a smile, and also ticked a circle on Lu Qi's name.

Looking further down, except for some actors, Xu Guanwu has no familiar people.

Among this group of actors, Xu Guanwu still has the impression of the group of old actors who will be active in TVB in the future, such as Qin Huang who plays the old urchin Zhou Botong, "Dakouqing" Wang Qing, "BENZ Xiong" Xu Shaoxiong, "Brother Xiu" Hu Feng and so on.

Although these gold and green pairings are not as eye-catching as big stars, they are indispensable condiments in film and television dinners, so Xu Guanwu also circled them one by one.

The four brothers chose for nearly two hours, and finally they all put down their pens and summarized them together.

Xu Guanwen mainly chooses screenwriter talents, because he used to do talk shows in TVB and had to make the audience laugh in a very short time, so the requirements for the script are relatively high. As a result, I got to know a lot of people with screenwriting talents.

Xu Guanjie selected a group of talents related to film soundtracks, such as Gu Jiahui, Huang Zhan, Wang Fuling and others. Now the company produces dozens of movies every year, and if there is no specialized film scoring talent, always turning to the outside, then the company will be choked by someone else sooner or later.

Xu Guanying spent a period of time in the Shaw Brothers Southern Acting Training Class, and then played tricks in various crews on the Shaw Brothers studio, so he knew many talented actors. The list he recommends is also mostly such actors.

Xu Guanwu chose several directors and some green leaf actors.

"I didn't choose a few management talents," Xu Guanwen said with a frown after getting the summarized list, "After the company has more people, it is bound to increase management talents, otherwise the whole company will be in chaos." ”

"We don't know much about management, what if we make the wrong choice?" Xu Guanjie explained.

"In my opinion, it is better to let Miss Leung Shuyi introduce a few people, she has been a manager, and she must know their abilities well." Xu Guanying suggested.

"Well, A-Ying, your idea is very good, I approve of it." Xu Guanwu said with a smile.

"But Miss Leung Shuyi is in the management of TVB, and she doesn't seem to be close to the Shaw Brothers, what can she know?" Xu Guanjie objected.

"I think the management of Shaw Brothers is high-minded, and they have been on the set for a long time, and they have already been infected with a strong official temper, and even if they are poached, they may not be suitable for our emerging film company. However, TVB has only been established for a short time, and the concept of management talents is trendy, and there are not so many old ideas. Should be able to adapt to our company very quickly. Xu Guanwu analyzed.

Xu Guanwen, Xu Guanying, and Xu Guanjie have all been on the set of Shaw Brothers, so they naturally know how old-fashioned the Shaw Brothers management is, and nodded approvingly, "Then please ask Miss Leung Shuyi to poach the management from TVB." ”

"From now on, send people out and dig up people according to this list, as many as they can." Xu Guanwen tapped the list with a pen and said, "The salary is fifty percent higher than that of Shaw Brothers, and it is twice as high as that of popular movie stars, directors, producers, screenwriters, and management." ”

"In this way, our company will soon be able to become stronger." Xu Guanying smiled happily.

"In addition to poaching from Shaw Brothers, we also need to focus on cultivating our own talents." Xu Guanwu suggested, "When Mr. Lei Juekun rented our theater again, didn't he make a condition for us to fund the shooting of independent films? I think now is the right time. ”

"Well, what the second brother said is right. It's not a way to always dig people, we have to learn to make our own blood. Xu Guanwen nodded, "There are also many talented independent directors in Hong Kong, but they lack financial support, if we can invest funds, we will definitely cultivate our own big directors." ”

"At the same time, we also need to recruit a group of allies to join our film company." Xu Guanying said, "It's like Golden Harvest, there are so many satellite companies, and I never worry about no films being released." ”

"A-Ying is right, by the way, big brother, before I went to the United States, didn't I ask you to investigate the matter of investing in Ms. Qiong Shao's films, and now there are results?" Xu Guanwu suddenly remembered and asked.
