"Then you mean to let me leave the Xinghui Art School and become Mr. Li Xiaohe's assistant?" Zhong Jinghui asked with a cold face.

Seeing Zhong Jinghui's straight face, Xu Guanwu couldn't laugh.

"KINSSIR, I ACTUALLY RECOMMENDED YOU TO MR. XU." Liang Shuyi on the side saw that something was wrong with the situation, and hurriedly stood up and explained, "You are the founding father of TVB, and you are friends with Mr. Li Xiaohe, and you are very familiar with the staff in the TV station, and they also admire you very much." So it's only fitting that you should take on this role. ”

Zhong Jinghui couldn't help but think for a while when he heard this, and after a long time, he sighed, "If I go to TVB, it will be difficult for me to hold the position of principal of Xinghui Art School." Have you figured out who will take over? ”

Xu Guanwu touched his nose, he really hadn't considered this candidate, "It's better to invite someone from outside to manage it, it's better to promote people in the school." KINGSIR, you're the principal of the school, and you've been working with everyone since the day the school was founded, so you helped put forward a few people, okay? ”

"Then I'll push a few people out for Mr. Xu's consideration." Zhong Jinghui thought for a while, "Liu Tianci, Deng Weixiong, Zhang Guoming and Gu Jiahui. All four of them are outstanding talents, and they all have the ambition to teach and educate people. ”

"Hey, weishenme, everyone has a nomination, but I was left out? KINGSIR, WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING? Huang Zhan shouted with an unhappy face in the back.

"Old evil, I know that you make movies again, write lyrics and advertising lyrics, work as a producer for a TV station, and teach music in a school. It's already busy. How can you have time to manage school affairs? Zhong Jinghui said unceremoniously. Besides, you're out of character. It is not suitable for teaching and educating people. ”

Huang Zhan was robbed of white for a while, and he couldn't help but blush and blue, green and white, and change his face.

"Ah Zhan, do you really want to be the principal of an art school? If so, I'll include you in the process. Xu Guanwu interjected beside him.

HUANG ZHAN WAS STUNNED FOR A MOMENT, THEN SMILED BITTERLY, "KINGSIR IS RIGHT. I really don't have time, so I'd better give it to someone else. ”

"Mr. Xu, I don't think it's suitable for me to be a principal, I'm still suitable for teaching and filmmaking, not for being a manager." Zhang Guoming also waved his hand.

Xu Guanwu nodded, and did not force it, Zhang Guoming is only in his twenties this year, and it is indeed too young to be the head of a school.

"That's Tianci, Brother Hui and Wei Xiong." Xu Guanwu nodded, "Wait until I go back to discuss it, and I'll give you a result tomorrow." ”

……

On the way back to the company by car. Liang Shuyi looked at Xu Guanwu and said suddenly. "Stanley, who are you going to be the principal of the Starlight Art School?"

"I think Liu Tianci is good, his qualifications are high enough, his talent is also very good, and he is my eldest brother's disciple, there is this relationship, I can't promote him if I want to." Xu Guanwu thought for a while.

"Isn't Deng Weixiong also a disciple of Mr. Xu? And Gu Jiahui is still a well-known musician, isn't it also the object you have always wanted to recruit? Liang Shuyi asked with a smile.

"Actually, all three of them are good, and they are all qualified to be principals. It's just that the principal can only have one person, so the two of them naturally wait for a while. Xu Guanwu said, "However, Deng Weixiong was the deputy director of the screenwriting department before, and this time he was promoted to the director." As for Mr. Gu Jiahui, after all, he is not a full-time teacher in an art school, and if he is allowed to be the principal, I am afraid that other teachers will also be dissatisfied. ”

Liang Shuyi nodded, "It seems that you already have an idea in your heart, didn't say it at the time, you were afraid of hurting the face of Deng Weixiong, Gu Jiahui and others, right?" ”

Xu Guanwu smiled and did not answer.

……

The next day, Hui Guanwu officially presented the letter of appointment of the principal of Xinghui Art School to Liu Tianci, and also appointed Mr. Chung King-fai as the honorary principal, and Tang Weixiong was promoted to the director of the screenwriting department.

In addition to some job changes, Xu Guanwu also announced a 20 percent increase in the salaries of school staff to cope with the upward pressure on prices brought about by the economic recovery. In addition, the food standard of students at school has also risen from 10 Hong Kong dollars per day to 15 Hong Kong dollars a day. Ensure that there are meat and vegetables and fruits every day, and ensure the logistics of the school, so that students can also focus on learning.

On the first Monday of March, after attending the opening ceremony of the new students, Chung Jinghui left the Xinghui Art School that he had worked hard to run and returned to his old employer, TVB, as an assistant to Mr. Li Xiaohe, assisting him in handling everything at TVB.

Mr. Li Xiaohe is also very happy about Mr. Zhong Jinghui's return, and being able to stand shoulder to shoulder with the old courtiers again makes Mr. Li very grateful for Xu Guanwu's kindness, which is much better than sending a young man who doesn't know his roots. With Mr. Zhong Jinghui in TVB, Xu Guanwu is also assured that his interests will not be harmed.

Regarding Xu Guanwu's acquisition of TVB shares and becoming the largest shareholder, Xu Guanwu, Li Xiaohe, HSBC, Hutchison and Times did not leak the news, and everyone just did what they should do as if this incident had not happened.

Mr. Li Xiaohe still regards TVB as his own industry, and he has to be busy until late every day before getting off work, as if he wants to contribute to TVB, and even Mr. Zhong Jinghui was deeply moved when he saw it.

……

In March, in addition to Xu Guanwu's large-scale acquisition of TVB shares, another thing is that the list of nominations for the Academy Awards and Golden Globes has been released.

Xu Guanwu invested in "Jaws" and "One Flew Over the Asylum" released last year the year before last, and many awards were shortlisted, among which "Jaws" was shortlisted for Best Picture, Best Sound, Best Editing, and Best Original Score, and the Golden Globe Award was shortlisted for Best Director, Best Screenplay, and Best Original Music.

And "One Flew Over the Asylum" was shortlisted for nine awards, including Best Supporting Actor, Best Actor, Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actress, Best Original Score, and Best Editing.

As for the Golden Globe Awards, "One Flew Over the Asylum" won six nominations, including Best Feature Film, Best Feature Actor, Best Director, Best Screenplay, Best Drama Actress, and Best New Actor.

The fact that there are so many shortlisted awards is a testament to how good these two films are. The news came from across the ocean. It also makes the people of Hong Kong cheer and feel honored.

"Big Close-up" magazine published by the talented girl Tang Shuxuan. He also made a special review of two films. believes that these two films have reached the highest achievements of literary films and commercial films respectively, and they are classic works destined to leave a name in film history.

"Big Close-up" also sent someone to do an interview with Xu Guanwu, and when someone reported his name, Xu Guanwu almost laughed. It turned out that his name was Shu Qi, and after reading the business card, Xu Guanwu knew that his Qi was the Qi next to the word Wang, not the Qi of the three points of water.

The Qi of the three-point water did not admit it after making the film and became famous, and cried all day long and wiped her tears and said that she was injured. The person who quit Weibo three times twice.

The Qi next to the prince is a famous talent in Hong Kong, a screenwriter, director, editor-in-chief, and film critic, who has released more than 200 art films and translated more than 100 foreign language films......

Today's Shu Qi is only twenty years old, and she looks white and tender. He is still a student in the English Department of the University of Hong Kong, but in his spare time, he helps "Big Close-up" write film reviews and run interviews, which not only exercises himself but also has some income.

Xu Guanwu has known Shu Qi for a long time, and the reason is actually a bit dirty. I think Xu Guanwu was also young back then, and I also heard that a certain Qi from Sandianshui had made a lot of films, so I searched and searched on the Internet. As a result, I found a film called "The Old Lady is Sassy", and I was immediately ecstatic and hurriedly downloaded it.

As a result, after clicking play, I found that it was absolutely cheating. It's not the kind of film I think it is at all, but a crime action movie with a very messy story, which adds a lot of suspense elements, making it mysterious and mysterious, and I don't know what to do after watching it.

The film is still the film made by the singer Zhang Xueyou when he first entered the film industry, and it can be seen that the acting skills of the singer at that time were still quite young. However, because he had quite outstanding achievements in the music industry back then, he was regarded as the successor of the decent singer Guan Zhengjie, and he was very popular among young people, so he was still invited to star in many films. Such as "Thunderbolt Trumpet" starring Hong Jingbao, such as "Infatuated Me" directed by Gao Zhisen......

After Xu Guanwu patiently watched the film "The Old Lady is Sassy", he was bruised by the plot of the cheating father, and scolded the director of this movie for giving this name, which is definitely polluting the social atmosphere and teaching bad innocent teenagers, who should be pulled to the playground and played JJ to death.

Later, Xu Guanwu found out that this cheating movie was directed by Shu Qi, and the screenwriters were him and his friend Wen Jun. Xu Guanwu also remembered this Hong Kong filmmaker who was only half a word different from the actress's name.

Seeing Shu Qi himself at this moment, Xu Guanwu really wanted to remind him that you should just shoot honestly when filming in the future, don't give such a cheating name anymore, it's easy to lose your character.

Shu Qi came this time to do an interview about the Oscar nomination for "Big Close-up" magazine and Xu Guanwu.

In fact, because he has "Tiantian Daily", Xu Guanwu generally does not accept interviews with other media. However, for the magazine "Big Close-up", Xu Guanwu gave extra face. Because the magazine itself is not for profit, or the main purpose is not to make a profit, but to provide a platform for Hong Kong film lovers to discuss, a bit like the BBS of later generations.

It's just that the articles published by others are more professional, and fans in the first and second classes can't appreciate it at all. Most of the people who bought it were professional filmmakers or film critics, so you can imagine how miserable the sales of the magazine "Big Close-up" were. Probably the sales volume of each issue does not exceed 1,000 copies, which is a state of dismal business loss.

Xu Guanwu also proposed to fund some money when the magazine "Big Close-up" was launched earlier. But Tang Shuxuan still refused, the reason was to ensure that the magazine maintained an objective and fair position, and temporarily did not accept capital injections from other film companies.

Xu Guanwu admires Tang Shuxuan's style of disregarding fame and fortune, but he still doesn't agree with her approach. Xu Guanwu believes that since you want to promote movies, you can't only communicate in professionals and small circles. It should be promoted on a large scale so that people from the outside world can also participate.

In this way, the article should be written for both the elegant and the vulgar, and it should not be so high and low, and it is never a long-term solution. However, Tang Cainu always has her own considerations, anyway, she is not short of money, and if she loses, she will lose, even if she is just having fun with her movie fans.

……

"Mr. Xu, first of all, congratulations on the nominations for both Golden Globe Awards and Academy Awards." Shu Qi first said happily, "May I ask what your first reaction was after hearing the news?" ”

"The first reaction was, of course, a surprise." Xu Guanwu smiled, "I naturally feel very honored to be shortlisted for an award that has a high status in the entire shijie film industry." ”

"There are dozens of awards shortlisted this time, how many awards do you think you can win this time, which ones feel the most certain?" Shu Qi continued to ask as she wrote.

"As an investor, what I want most is the Best Picture award." Xu Guanwu smiled, "Because there is a custom in Hollywood, the film that wins the best picture generally increases the takeaway copyright by 20 million US dollars." (To be continued......)
