When he learned that Li's visitor wanted to see him, Xu Guanwu was busy arranging the bedroom at home.

I don't know if the feng shui in the mainland is too nourishing, after recuperating there for half a year, Xu Guanwu's current ability is so strong that he often has to work for an hour to finish the work, which makes Zhao Yazhi often on the verge of happiness and pain.

After the end, she needed to rest for a long time before she could move freely, which also made Zhao Yazhi grit her teeth with hatred. Why are two people happy, but it is the woman who suffers the most? So she discussed with her husband Xu Guanwu that she was only allowed to come once a week, and she was never allowed to come more.

So Xu Guanwu lived a life with his fingers crossed, and today is the day of breaking the fast. Xu Guanwu started preparing early in the morning, and was planning to surprise his wife and spend the night happily.

Therefore, he didn't go to the company today, and he didn't expect someone from Li's TV station to come to the company to find him, and this person is still a person Xu Guanwu likes more - Mai Dangxiong.

Mak Dang-hung is a prominent figure in the Hong Kong film industry, and has made many high-quality films, including "Pretty Girl", "Provincial and Hong Kong Flag Soldiers" series, "Lame Hao", and "Black Gold" and so on. In the movies produced by him, most of the men are robbers, killers, criminals and other roles, such as "Provincial and Hong Kong Flag Soldiers", "Lame Hao", "The Case of the Three Wolves" and so on; Most of the female characters are female branch girls, maids, crotch women, such as "Pretty Girl", "Jade Garden Troupe: Stealing the Treasure", "The Law Inside" and so on. Therefore, it is also called "male thief and female singing".

Xu Guanwu watched the biopic "Lame Hao" produced by Mak Dangxiong, a movie that lasted for more than two hours, and he couldn't pick out a trace of superfluous shots. After watching the whole movie. Still unfinished. It gives a feeling of lingering aftertaste. This shows the depth of Mak Dangxiong's skills.

Moreover, the box office of the movie "Lame Hao" in Hong Kong is as high as 30 million Hong Kong dollars. and then set off a climax of biopics in the Hong Kong film industry. After that, Yongsheng Film Company immediately followed the trend and filmed "The Biography of Inspector Lei Luo of 500 Million", and then biopics such as "The Four Detectives", "The Dragon and Tiger Brothers of the Four Families", and "The Three Flags of a Generation of Heroes" also came out one after another, with mixed quality and quality. In vain, the biopic is a very good movie theme, and then even if Mak Dangxiong re-emerged and filmed the first and second episodes of "The Emperor of Shanghai" with very high quality, it was difficult to turn things around.

After filming "Black Gold", which criticized the political shady scenes of the Wanwan authorities. Mak Dang Hung officially disbanded his own Mak family class. And his Mak family class can really be said to be full of talent, his younger brother Mak Dang Kit is a very capable director, many of the films produced by Mak Dang Hung are directed by his younger brother, and he himself is the executive producer behind the scenes.

There is also screenwriter Xiao Ruoyuan, who wrote "Crocodile Tears", "Silkworm Transformation", and "The Kindness of the Earth" written by Li's TV station back then, and then left Li's film circle with Mai Dangxiong, and wrote masterpieces such as "Childe Love", "Jianghu Love", "Lame Hao" and other masterpieces, Xiao Caizi later got involved in the field of production, and it is also a frequent masterpiece, it is worth mentioning that Zhou Xingchi's well-received "Tang Bohu Dots Autumn Fragrance" and "Deer and Ding Ji" two episodes. It was also produced by Xiao Caizi.

In addition, like Huo Yaoliang, who is more skilled in filming women's scenes, and Pan Wenjie, who has excellent screenwriting and directing talents, etc. They are all members of the Mai Jiaban, and they are also the right-hand men of Mai Dangxiong who can cross the battlefield.

Mai Jiaban is different from the Hong family class, Cheng Jia class, Liu Jia class and other kung fu teams, he is purely composed of directors, producers, screenwriters and other behind-the-scenes personnel, so in terms of the story of the movie, the works produced by Mai Jiaban have always been a guarantee of quality. It can really be said to be a product of Mak's, and it must be a masterpiece.

Unlike other directors in Hong Kong who do not have a complete script before filming, only one story concept or outline, and rely on "Du Qiao" to save jokes and use flying paper to film, Mak Jiaban has already written the script before filming. So their film structure is very solid, and it can basically compete with American Hollywood blockbusters.

For example, the two-and-a-half-hour-long "Lame Hao" series, the two episodes of more than five hours, although it is one hour longer than the traditional one-and-a-half-hour Hong Kong films, but watching the whole movie will not give people a feeling of dragging the scene, on the contrary, after watching it, there is always a feeling of unfinished and endless aftertaste.

It can be said that it is precisely because of this emphasis on screenwriters that Mai Jiaban's works are so good-looking. In fact, when Mai Jiaban cooperated with big film companies, he also firmly grasped the screenwriting power in his hands, because they knew that the soul of a movie is the story. There is no good story, no matter how hard the actor acts, no matter how hard the director directs, no matter how hard the martial artist fights, it is just the opposite of each other after all.

The soul of a movie is the story, and the soul of Mai Jiaban is Mai Dangxiong. This benevolent brother has led many of his generals to gallop in the Hong Kong film industry for many years, and has really made a name for himself, and he is a legend in the Hong Kong film industry.

……

Xu Guanwu has watched many movies produced by Mak Dangxiong before, whether it is the majestic atmosphere of "Lame Hao", or the violence and ferocity of "Provincial and Hong Kong Flag Soldiers", or the audacity of "Black Gold", which makes him very happy. And the three-pole films such as "Jade Putuan: Stealing the Treasure" and "Three Degrees of Temptation" also made Xu Guanwu's blood tremble. It can be said that among Hong Kong directors, in addition to the famous Xu Laowei, the person Xu Guanwu admires the most is Mak Dangxiong.

Of course, other directors such as Wang Jing, Hong Jingbao, Xu Guanwen, Lin Lingdong, Wu Yusen, etc. are also his favorite directors, but Wang Jing's movies are uneven, the quality is different, and good films are enjoyable to watch, such as "God of Gamblers", "Hardcover Chasing Girls", "Truant Weilong", etc., but bad movies are also easy for people to see and vomit blood, such as "My Wife is a Gambling Saint", "Sparrow Saint", and later went to the mainland to co-produce "Ouchi Secret Agent Zero Zero Dog" These fried cold rice films and so on.

Hung Jingbao's films are mostly kung fu and martial arts films, and in the 80s, it can be said that he was the first gold medal of Hong Kong directors, and the Baohe company founded by him is the satellite company that produces the most grossing films in Golden Harvest. It was supposed to make a lot of money. But later, according to Hong Jingbao himself in an interview. At that time, although a lot of blockbuster movies were made. After calculating the worst, I still lost a lot of money. A movie that could have sold for five million, but Golden Harvest only sold for one yuan, ostensibly only for one yuan.

In fact, big film companies will not sell the copyright piecemeal, but package several movies and sell them together. It's like a blockbuster movie with some films that don't sell well, or shoddy films, and so on. Although Golden Harvest has lost money on blockbusters, it can make money through bad movies that don't sell well, and in the final analysis, they still make money. It's just a loss to collaborators like Hong Jingbao.

Of course, the movies produced by Hong Jingbao are all very good-looking, such as the "Five Lucky Stars" series, the "Scary" series, "Rich Train", etc., the movies produced by him are very guaranteed in terms of play. But in terms of storytelling, because there are too many movies produced every year, even the bridge king Huang Bingyao is difficult to deal with, so most of Hong Jiaban's movies rely on saving jokes and reversing scripts, so the storytelling is greatly discounted, such as the "Overlord Flower" series, the "Five Lucky Stars" series, etc. There are top-heavy and loose structures.

Xu Guanwen wrote, directed and acted in a ghost horse comedy. In those years, it could be said that he dominated the Hong Kong film industry, and the box office was No. 1 for many years, and it was definitely not bragged about. And his comedic way of truly reflecting the lives of small citizens is also something Xu Guanwu appreciates very much. It's just a pity that in the 80s, Xu's ghost horse comedy began to decline, and although the works filmed are still good-looking, they are no longer amazing. In the 90s, Xu Guanwen still played the previous game, and carried out the stingy boss to the end, which inevitably gave people a suspicion of fried cold rice.

And like Wu Yusen, it is a typical example of the late festival, and the "Money Cold" and "Money Blame" filmed in the early stage are not lost, and the later "True Colors of Heroes", "Spicy Hand Detective", and "Bloody Heroes" are simply good to see, and the later "Red Cliff", "Sword Rain", etc. are so bad that they are outrageous. He seems to have a problem with Wang Jing, when the movie was prosperous, he was all kinds of creativity, and after the film market was depressed, he only knew how to make bad movies.

And Lin Lingdong's "Fengyun" series can really be regarded as a wonderful flower in the Hong Kong film industry, there is no pejorative meaning here, but the "Fengyun" series is really a work with a strong personal style, and basically no director can imitate it. And Lin Lingdong can also rely on this "Fengyun" series to make history in the Hong Kong film industry. It's just a pity that his works are always too few, otherwise Xu Guanwu's favorite Hong Kong directors are destined to have his vote.

……

So when Xu Guanwu heard that Mai Dangxiong was coming to find him, he immediately jumped up happily, and then immediately changed his clothes and rushed to the company in a car.

When I went up to the top floor, as soon as I got out of the elevator, I saw a man sitting on the sofa, looking at the appearance did not give people a sense of grandeur, but there was indeed some unruliness in his eyes.

"Yes, this should be the famous Mai Dangxiong, it's really better to meet than to be famous." Xu Guanwu thought in his heart, originally he thought that Mai Dangxiong should look strange, have strange bones, and have a heroic demeanor, just like "Lame Hao" in the movie, but he didn't expect it to be such an ordinary man. Of course, in fact, the lame man in reality looks more ordinary, and he is not as handsome as Lu Liangwei at all.

"Boss, this is Mr. Mak Dang Hung from Leigh's TV station. Mr. Mai, our boss Mr. Xu Guanwu. At this time, the secretary introduced with a smile.

This time, in order to avoid trouble, Xu Guanwu specially changed a male secretary, and it was not the kind of cream student, but an assistant to the president who was over forty years old and had rich experience.

"Hello, Mr. Xu." Mai Dangxiong stood up, glanced at Xu Guanwu, and said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

But in comparison, Xu Guanwu is much more enthusiastic, the man in front of him who is not good-looking, but he is a first-class movie wizard in Hong Kong, and he is also one of Xu Guanwu's favorite directors.

"Oh, Mr. Mai, I've been looking up to my name for a long time. The TV series you filmed such as "Top Ten Strange Cases" and "Big Husband" are really good, I like it very much. Xu Guanwu said with a smile.

Mai Dangxiong couldn't help but be stunned when he saw Xu Guanwu so enthusiastic. To be honest, he came today to ask for help, so he can't be too enthusiastic in terms of attitude, so he seems a little cold.

But I didn't expect Xu Guanwu, as a big boss and the head of Hong Kong's Xu's media empire, to be so unassuming, not only did not change his face because of his coldness, but he seemed to be quite enthusiastic. This made Mai Dangxiong a little unpredictable, is Xu Guanwu too good-hearted, or is his city too deep?!

"Forget it, no matter which one he is, it's important to get down to business first." Mak threw away some distractions in his mind and began to prepare for the negotiations that awaited.

……

"What, you said Liz wants to form an alliance with my wireless?" Xu Guanwu looked at Mai Dangxiong dumbfounded. (To be continued......)
