"It's not necessarily that there is no chance, big brother," Xu Guanwu swore an analysis, "Think about it, Golden Harvest lost Bruce Lee, just like losing its pillar." Now is the time when talents are needed, and now in the Hong Kong film industry, in terms of fame and talent, which star can compare to you? ”

Xu Guanwen glanced at his second brother in surprise, and was surprised that he could express such an opinion today, because Xu Guanwu had always been low-key before, and he was also the most introverted among the four brothers.

"Big brother, I think what the second brother said is right, there is indeed no star in the Xiangjiang film industry who can compete with the eldest brother. Like Zhang Che's disciples, they will never defect to Golden Harvest, and Li Hanxiang's people will not leave him, and the rest of the stars of independent film companies are not as famous and talented as you are the eldest brother, I think we should be able to talk to Mr. Zou Wenhuai. The fourth brother Xu Guanjie also said.

Xu Guanwen listened to the analysis of the two younger brothers, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that it made sense, "Since this is the case, then I will go and talk to Mr. Zou again." When the time comes, Ah Wu, you will accompany me. ”

"Me?!" Xu Guanwu was stunned for a moment, he was naturally happy to see Zou Wenhuai, a fierce man who has galloped in the Hong Kong film industry for half a century, but Xu Guanwu himself knew his own details.

The previous analysis was only based on his own future memory, knowing that Golden Harvest would definitely fund the Xu brothers to set up a company, so he would say the truth.

But if he really wanted him to accompany Xu Guanwen to negotiate, he asked himself if he didn't have that qualification.

He used to be just an assistant secretary, and he was okay with some paperwork. If you negotiate with an old fox like Zou Wenhuai, he will have that attainment, and maybe a few words will be exposed.

"Big brother, I think it's better to take Ah Sam to negotiate with Mr. Zou, after all, Ah Sam is also a big singer now, and his reputation is also very loud, and I believe that Mr. Zou will have greater confidence in us with him." Xu Guanwu thought about it and excused himself.

Xu Guanwen pondered for a while and felt that what the second brother said also made some sense. He knew that the second brother had always been introverted and low-key, and he didn't like to show his face, and in terms of popularity, Ah SAM was far better than the second brother, and if he was used as a bargaining chip, the chances of winning the negotiation would be higher.

"In that case, then Ah Sam and I should go and talk to Mr. Zou and try to fight for more benefits for us." Xu Guanwen said.

Subsequently, Xu Guanwen took Xu Guanjie to discuss directly with Mr. Zou Wenhuai, Xu Guanying was also hidden by the Shaw family because of his brother Xu Guanwen's relationship, so he didn't work these days, and happened to stay at home with Xu Guanwu.

"Ah Wu, just now my eldest brother invited you to meet Mr. Zou with you, why don't you want to go?" Xu Guanying looked at Xu Guanwu enviously.

Xu Guanwu liked to watch Hong Kong movies before, and the movies of Hui's four masters, who are the representatives of Hong Kong comedy, are quite to his taste, and he also has some understanding of the four brothers.

He knows that Xu Guanying's personality is very shy and timid, and he likes to play with his younger brother Xu Guanjie since he was a child, and Xu Guanjie often plays the role of his elder brother, and even crossing the street is Xu Guanjie holding Xu Guanying's hand.

Although Xu Guanying also has good acting skills and singing talents, he has always been shrouded in the light of his eldest brother Xu Guanwen and younger brother Xu Guanjie, so he is a little depressed, and even suffered from depression in his later years.

Therefore, Xu Guanwu instinctively had a sense of pity for Xu Guanying, and he smiled, "I am penniless now, even if I accompany my eldest brother to negotiate, it has no weight." Ah SAM is different, he is famous and clever, and with him accompanying his eldest brother to negotiate, I believe that Mr. Zou will also look down on his eldest brother a few times. ”

"Well, I really want to be like Ah SAM, and I can go and see it with my eldest brother." Xu Guanying smiled wistfully.

"Don't worry, there will be a chance." Xu Guanwu patted Xu Guanying's shoulder and said.

It was not until the afternoon that Xu Guanwen and Xu Guanjie returned home.

Looking at their happy faces, Xu Guanwu knew that the matter must have succeeded.

"Big brother, how's it going? What did Mr. Zou say? Xu Guanying asked anxiously.

"I really let the second brother say it! Mr. Zou is willing to pay for us to open a film company, and he and I have reached a preliminary intention, but the specific details have not yet been confirmed. Xu Guanwen smiled happily, "In the past few days, the four of us brothers have just gotten together to discuss. ”

"Yay!" Xu Guanying immediately jumped three feet high when she heard this, and cheered happily.

Setting up your own film company is every filmmaker's dream, and now it's natural and happy that your dream has come true.

Only Xu Guanwu had already expected this result, so he didn't show any special excitement.

"Big brother, what is the initial intention?" Xu Guanwu asked curiously, although he knew that Jiahe would definitely help Xu Guanwen set up a company, but he didn't know the details.

"Mr. Zou invested 1 million Hong Kong dollars to help us set up the company, and this million Hong Kong dollars is also the start-up capital for our company's opening work." Xu Guanwen said.

"A million Hong Kong dollars?! Wow, that's really developed now. Xu Guanying couldn't help but exclaim.

What is the concept of a million?!

In 73 years, Hong Kong had just experienced a major stock market crash, the world was in a depression, and a 100-square-meter building in the center of the city was only 20,000 Hong Kong dollars.

HK$1,000,000, equivalent to 50 flats.

Even if the money is not used to make movies, if you only buy 50 houses in the city center, and then sell them in a few years, the price will increase more than ten times.

"Mr. Zou is really generous, but I don't know how many shares he intends to take in the company?" Xu Guanwu touched his chin and said.

"What he means is that he owns 50% of the shares, but he does not participate in the management of the company, but only participates in dividends." Xu Guanwen said, "And our company's films are released in Golden Harvest Cinemas, and they can also be divided into 55% with the theaters, which is at least 10% higher than other companies." ”

"One million Hong Kong dollars wants fifty percent of our company's shares?! Mr. Zou is too greedy. Xu Guanwu shook his head, but he knew that the opening work of the Xu Brothers Company, "Ghost Horse Double Star", sold a sky-high box office of 6.5 million Hong Kong dollars in Hong Kong alone, and the box office in other cities has not been counted. This film alone is enough for Golden Harvest to earn back its capital.

"It's not unusual for people to contribute 1 million Hong Kong dollars and account for half of the shares." Xu Guanjie spread his hands and said.

"What, Applejack, do you think that with your eldest brother's talent, it is only worth a million Hong Kong dollars?" Xu Guanwu couldn't help but groan.

"Second brother, one million Hong Kong dollars is a lot. Zhang Che and Zhang Da's play is only sold for one million Hong Kong dollars. Xu Guanying muttered quietly.

"Second brother, what do you think, say it and listen to it." Xu Guanwen looked at the second brother thoughtfully.

At noon, I heard Xu Guanwu say that he could form a company, and Xu Guanwen thought it was a fantasy, but the result was fulfilled by the words of the second brother, which made Xu Guanwen look at himself, the usually introverted second brother.

"In my opinion, we will borrow 1 million from Mr. Zou to make a film." Xu Guanwu said a word, which immediately startled the three Xu brothers.
