Chapter 254: New Sony Products

Huang Baiming also seemed to like talking to people, and after listening to Xu Guanwu's words, he immediately nodded, and while walking towards the TVB broadcasting building, he introduced Xu Guanwu to the gossip news of the grievances and grievances between the Xu Brothers Company and the Shaw Brothers Company.

Xu Guanwu nodded while listening, and from time to time he echoed in his voice, making Huang Baiming speak more energetically.

"So, Mr. Huang is going to work at Xu's Brothers when he turns around? Oops! Congratulations! Xu Guanwu Zuihou tried his best to hold back a laugh and congratulated him with his fists.

"Thank you, thank you! By the way, I still have to hurry to hand in my resignation report, so that's all for today. Another day, we will have a chance to have tea and chat again. Huang Baiming said with a smile.

Xu Guanwu nodded hurriedly, "Oh, I'm sorry, I'm delaying your business." Please go, please go, talk another day. ”

Seeing Huang Baiming hurriedly running to hand in his resignation report, Xu Guanwu held on to the stairs and couldn't help but daxiao.

"Oops, tears are laughing from my eyes. Today's TVB is really not in vain. Xu Guanwu couldn't help but laugh.

"Mr. Xu, are you alright?" At this moment, someone next to him asked with concern.

Xu Guanwu heard the familiar voice, turned his head to look, but saw Wang Rixiang, who had a relationship before, standing in front of him.

"Huh?! Why are you here? Xu Guanwu asked in surprise.

"I'm here to send TVB the script of the short drama "Happy Tonight". Wang Rixiang replied honestly.

"You can write a script?!" Xu Guanwu asked curiously.

"Yes, I followed Mr. Xu Guanwen to shoot "Deed of Sale" last year, and Mr. Xu passed on a lot of my skills in writing jokes." Wang Rixiang replied. "Later, my dad took me to TVB. Let me write jokes and skits for Joy Tonight. ”

"Who's your father?" The more Xu Guanwu listened, the more he felt that something was wrong. I couldn't help but ask curiously.

"My dad is Wang Tianlin, the director of TVB." Wang Rixiang smiled and said.

Xu Guanwu almost sat on the ground, he had already seen that this little fat man looked a little like Wang Jing, but at that time he said that his name was Wang Rixiang, and Xu Guanwu thought that he had recognized the wrong person. Now that it has finally come to light, it turns out that he is the fat mantis, one of the five unique northern color king spirits in the Central Plains.

"Mr. Xu, you're fine, right?" Wang Jing saw that Xu Guanwu's expression had changed greatly, and he couldn't help but ask with concern.

"It's fine. It's okay. Xu Guanwu smiled, thinking that it was too coincidental to meet Hong Kong's two major screenwriter wizards one after another in just a few minutes.

"Could it be that my Wenqu star is the headshot today?!" Xu Guanwu prayed silently, and then couldn't help but ask suspiciously, "You are the son of director Wang Tianlin, so why are you still doing drama work in the crew at the beginning?" ”

When Wang Jing heard Xu Guanwu ask, he couldn't help but look a little embarrassed, hesitated for a moment and said with a smile, "It's me who uses the summer vacation time to do odd jobs and exercise my hands-on ability." That's why I went to the crew to do drama work. ”

"Oh, you're really working hard, then." Xu Guanwu nodded. Then he asked, "How much money do you probably make writing this joke skit?" ”

"If you use a joke, it's eight dollars, and a skit is eighty dollars." Wang Jing introduced, "I can now earn more than 1,000 yuan a month. ”

"Oh." Xu Guanwu nodded, "Why don't you just go back to work at Xu's and become a screenwriter in the advanced screenwriting department." At present, the basic salary of the company's screenwriters is 2,400 yuan per month, and they can also earn 1% of the box office in Hong Kong as a bonus when they write scripts and make films. ”

Wang Jing's eyes lit up when he heard this, but Zuihou still shook his head, "Mr. Xu, I'm still a working student now, and I can't spare much time to stay in the crew every day." So I'll wait until I graduate. ”

When Xu Guanwu heard him say this, he couldn't help but be a little disappointed. However, he also knows that the screenwriter needs to follow the crew, so that he can provide advice to the director, and if necessary, he can also revise the script on the spot. Unlike Xu Guanwu, he didn't care about the script after it was thrown out. There are only a few people in Hong Kong who have this kind of treatment.

"In this case, then you usually have time to write some scripts, if haode then the company will also spend money to buy it, and you will not suffer in vain." Xu Guanwu nodded and said, "You have also worked in the company before, and you are an old man in the company, so I won't say anything superfluous." ”

"I know Mr. Xu, Mr. Xiexie Xu." Wang Jing nodded, looking very grateful.

"Well, then I won't delay you, go and do your thing." Xu Guanwu smiled.

……

After leaving Wang Jing, Xu Guanwu went to the indoor studio, but he walked around all three floors, but he didn't find the crew of "Jianghu Boy", and he inquired about going to Fei'e Mountain to shoot exteriors.

Xu Guanwu was not disappointed when he heard it, and now he is rushing to Fei'e Mountain to visit the class, how to find the park so big? ! I just stomped my foot and luckily went home.

After eating, Xu Guanwu was sitting in the living room watching TV, and suddenly an advertisement appeared on the screen, which attracted his attention.

"Huh?! Sony's new video recorder wow. Xu Guanwu couldn't help but have an idea. He knew that the video tape market was actually very profitable, especially in Europe and the United States, and video tapes were still in production until the new century. WELL-KNOWN VIDEO RENTAL CHAINS, SUCH AS PASSCARD AND NETFLIX, HAVE A MARKET VALUE OF MORE THAN 10 BILLION DOLLARS AND AN ANNUAL TURNOVER OF HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS.

In the East Asian market, video tapes did not flourish for too long, but the laser disc jishu that appeared later became popular because of karaoke discs, and then expanded to the video disc field.

"Do you want to start a video production and distribution company?" Xu Guanwu pinched his chin and muttered, "There's no reason to go back and wait for someone to form it, so that others can earn this money." ”

On televisions, the price of the newly produced Sony video recorder was 4,000 Hong Kong dollars, about 800 US dollars, and in Hong Kong, where the monthly salary was generally only 1,000 yuan at that time, the price of a video recorder was equivalent to four months' salary, which was definitely a high-priced product.

However, for a foreign bank manager-level figure with a monthly income of tens of thousands, a video recorder priced at 4,000 Hong Kong dollars may not be considered expensive, so there should still be a good market.

Xu Guanwu was pondering the feasibility of setting up a video production and distribution company, when the car outside the door slowly drove into the garage, and Zhao Yazhi stepped out of the car.

I looked at the time indicated on my watch. It was already past nine o'clock in the evening. Zhao Yazhi couldn't help but be a little worried.

She had just finished work and returned to the TV station. A colleague already told her that Xu Guanwu had just come to visit the class. I looked around the building but didn't see anyone, and left with a black face.

Zhao Yazhi knew that her husband didn't like to go out to film, so although she got his consent to star in the drama "Jianghu Kid", she also promised her husband that she would not come home too late.

But Jihua has never been able to catch up with the changes, and he was able to finish work at five o'clock, because of the negligence of the staff. I didn't finish work until half past eight.

Thinking that she didn't know how her husband was going to nag later, Zhao Yazhi couldn't help but feel a little worried in her heart.

tiptoeing open the door, Zhao Yazhi poked her head in like a little mouse, and glanced into the living room first, it would be best if her husband was not there.

turned out to be very cruel, Xu Guanwu was sitting on the sofa in the living room, which made Zhao Yazhi couldn't help but be frightened.

"Oh, I'm watching TV, I shouldn't be in a bad mood." Zhao Yazhi comforted herself, and then quietly walked over. I want to see how my husband's expression is first.

Three steps away, two steps away. One step further ...... Zhao Yazhi walked into her husband quietly with caution, and she really pinched a cold sweat in her heart.

But when he walked only a few steps away, Xu Guanwu still didn't move, as if he didn't hear any footsteps at all, and he didn't know that someone was coming behind him.

Zhao Yazhi couldn't help muttering a little in her heart, "Did my husband hear it, or didn't he hear it?!" Did he hear it and pretend not to hear it? Or is it true that I didn't hear it? It's impossible not to hear it, I really walk so quietly?! Was he deliberately pretending not to hear? Are you still angry with me, so you deliberately ignore me? ”

Zhao Yazhi's little head was running rapidly, thinking about too many possibilities, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt that Xu Guanwu was deliberately ignoring her, which made Zhao Yazhi feel very hurt.

Hum! She snorted and deliberately put her steps down, click, click, click! The high heels made a crisp sound when they stepped on the wooden floor.

But Xu Guanwu still didn't look back, which made Zhao Yazhi more and more angry, and rushed to the front, and his body Xiangxia leaned in front of Xu Guanwu's eyes, wanting to ask him when he was going to pretend.

"Ah!!!!!h Xu Guanwu was thinking about whether to enter the video tape market now, when suddenly a beautiful head appeared in front of him, startled him, and bounced directly off the sofa.

Bang! Xu Guanwu's head collided with Zhao Yazhi's head, and it just hit his nose, and a sore and painful feeling rushed over quickly.

Wow! Tears flew out in pain!

Zhao Yazhi also burst into tears of pain, covering her nose and unable to speak.

"Oops! It's so uncomfortable for me. Xu Guanwu covered his nose and said, "Wife, what are you doing, people are scary and scared to death, do you know?" ”

"You still say, people just want to joke with you, who told you to react so much? It scared me a lot, too, ah! The nose is so sour! Zhao Yazhi also covered her nose and said, "The pain is so bad, I won't have your nose knocked down by you, if that's the case, I won't be able to spare you." ”

"It's so serious, the force is mutual, and if your nose is knocked down, then my nose won't be better." Xu Guanwu was also sour and uncomfortable, and tears flowed down his eyes.

"You men have rough skin and thick meat, how are you like us, oops, it's so uncomfortable!" Zhao Yazhi retorted.

"Don't talk if you're uncomfortable, I'll go get you some ice, and you'll be fine." Xu Guanwu said, walked to the refrigerator, filled a few pieces of ice in a plastic bag, and threw one bag to his wife and one bag for himself.

After using the ice compress, Xu Guanwu felt a lot better, "Don't be so reckless next time, it scares me." ”

"What were you thinking, so distracted?" Zhao Yazhi sat on the sofa, holding her head high very imagelessly, and covered the ice pack directly on her face.

"I'm thinking about doing business, and I don't understand it." Xu Guanwu sat down and said, "Why did you film so late this time, I should tell your director when I go back." ”

"It's fast enough," Zhao Yazhi waved her hand, "The staff of the lighting team had fewer light bulbs, and they stopped filming for a while." ”

Xu Guanwu nodded, "By the way, there hasn't been any news from your TV station recently, right?" ”

"What's the news?" Zhao Yazhi asked, "Oh, by the way, there is a rumor, it seems that Uncle Shao is going to increase his shareholding and intends to unite Shaw Brothers with TVB." ”

"Oh?!" Xu Guanwu couldn't help but be stunned, he knew that Boss Shao would close Shaw Brothers Cinemas in the 80s, dismiss most of the employees, and focus his career on the film industry, but he didn't expect it to start now.

After thinking about it, Xu Guanwu suddenly understood the reason why Boss Shao did this. In the 80s, he shifted his career focus to TVB because of the impact of New Art City and Golden Harvest Company.

Although there is no New Art City in the 70s, Golden Harvest has lost the Xu brothers and Seven Little Blessings, and its momentum is not as good as in the previous life, but a Xu Brothers company is worthy of the integration of Golden Harvest and New Art City, which has brought a greater impact to the Shaw Brothers.

It's no wonder that Uncle Shao Liushu will lay out in advance and shift his career focus to TVB. It's only now that I think of increasing my stake, and I'm too slow to react. (To be continued......)
