When Wu Siyuan heard that Xu Guanwu secretly went to China Cinema to see Xu Ke, he was almost so shocked that he fell from his seat and sat on the floor.

Xu Keke is the Maxima that he finally discovered, and it is the time to build him with a lot of money, and the investment in the movie "Butterfly Change" before and after is more than 1.2 million Hong Kong dollars, if the film is halfway through the filming or just released and sells, Xu Ke will be poached by Xu Guanwu with a lot of money, then Wu Siyuan will call a chicken and egg to beat, and he wants to cry without tears.

"Hey, Boss Xu, how did he see Xu Ke's talent? Could it be that he also watched that TV series? Wu Siyuan couldn't help but think. After thinking about it, he thought it was very likely.

Xu Guanwu is also a well-known acquaintance who makes good use of it, like Hong Jingbao, Cheng Long, and Yuan Biaoshi, all of whom he single-handedly picked up. And like director Chu Yuan, who was down-and-out, Gui Zhihong, who was a cold bench in Shaw Brothers, and Zhang Jian, who has been engaged in independent production, have also become popular through Xu Guan's weapons.

It can be seen that this person's vision is also quite vicious, and it is very possible to be able to see Xu Ke's directorial talent from a TV series.

The more Wu Siyuan thought about it, the more it made sense, and he couldn't help but start worrying. He knows that Hui Dao's treatment is generous, but he is second to none among the major film companies in Hong Kong. To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that he had already accepted the capital injection of Golden Harvest and had become a subsidiary of Golden Harvest, Wu Siyuan would really want to defect to Xu's command.

Siyuan Film Company is now a partnership between Wu Siyuan and Golden Harvest, and Wu Siyuan owns 51% of the shares and has relatively independent autonomy. The movies he made were also released in Golden Harvest Cinemas, and at the same time received high box office dividends. It can be regarded as a relatively nourishing one among Hong Kong film companies.

But it's just more moisturizing. At a rate that it produces only two or three movies a year. It's still difficult to make a fortune. It's not that Wu Siyuan is not aggressive. I don't want to make more movies and make more money. was really choked by Golden Harvest, only let him shoot two or three movies a year, and then wanted to make more movies but lacked funds, and Golden Harvest, as a major shareholder, kept boycotting, so that Wu Siyuan had no choice but to compromise.

The reason why Golden Harvest did not let Siyuan Film Company make more films was actually because of the share distribution. Because of the departure of the Xu brothers, Golden Harvest urgently needed a talented filmmaker to join. And Siyuan Film Company, which shines in an independent production company, has naturally become his goal.

However, Wu Siyuan is very confident about Jiahe's wooing. Because many of the movies he shot before were in Taiwan, Nanyang achieved a high box office, which also gave him a bargaining chip when facing Golden Harvest. Although Wu Siyuan agreed to Golden Harvest's wooing, he still insisted on retaining his dominant power, so he only let Golden Harvest inject 49% of the capital.

Jiahe was really short of manpower at that time, so although he was unhappy, he had to agree to his conditions. However, this also lays a hidden danger for the future cooperation between the two sides.

Like Zou Wenhuai, He Guanchang and others were originally people with a strong desire to control, otherwise they would not have squeezed out the Xu brothers in the first place. Agreeing to Wu Siyuan's conditions was just an expedient measure, who made Jiahe urgently need a pillar at that time.

Then with the expansion of Golden Harvest Film Company. Outstanding film talents such as the Yuan Jiaban brothers, Fuxing director Luo Wei, and one-armed boxing champion Wang Yu have joined one after another, and the importance of Siyuan Film Company to Golden Harvest has decreased year by year.

People under Jiahe like Yuan Jiaban are naturally regarded as their own sons by Jiahe, and franchise companies like Siyuan Film Company are naturally regarded as godsons by Jiahe. The treatment of the own son and the godson is naturally different. Although the box office of Yuan Jiaban's movies is not very high, Golden Harvest vigorously subsidizes them, and there are always five or six movies made every year. However, the films of Siyuan Film Company are popular and popular, but only two or three films are approved for investment every year.

The purpose is naturally to fear that Siyuan Film Company will grow again, and then, like the Xu Brothers Film Company, will leave Golden Harvest and start anew.

This is naturally very beneficial to Golden Harvest Company, but it is quite painful for Wu Siyuan. He is a young filmmaker in his own right, with drive, ideals, ambitions, and a desire to make a lot of money. But Golden Harvest's approach directly killed his dream and left him basically helpless.

Wu Siyuan is not like Xu Guanwu, an outlier like Xu Guanwu, and he can't succeed with the help of gold fingers like Xu Guanwu, and soon earned the first pot of gold for career development, and developed rapidly with the help of this first pot of gold.

Wu Siyuan doesn't have as many memories as in his previous life, and he can't use such a golden finger, so he can only struggle slowly alone. In the process, there are naturally setbacks, failures, and pains, which also makes him basically unable to get rid of Jiahe.

There are only three commercial cinema lines in Hong Kong, Shaw Brothers, Golden Harvest, and Hui Brothers, of which Hui Cinemas is the strongest, followed by Shaw Brothers, and Golden Harvest again. And Siyuan Film Company is now tied to Golden Harvest because of Golden Harvest's investment. It is impossible for the other two cinema chains to cooperate with him.

And even if he gets rid of Golden Harvest's control later, it is not so easy to take refuge in the other two companies. Shaw Brothers Pictures is already overcrowded, and Sir Shaw is now going to gradually transfer Shaw Brothers personnel to Jiayi TV to share the salary pressure caused by too many Shaw Brothers employees.

Although Xu's Film Company has always been thirsty for talents, Wu Siyuan has also thought that the movies he is good at making are nothing more than kung fu movies and urban films. But now Xu's urban strange case films include Gui Zhihong, urban action movies include Zhang Jian, and urban comedy films include Mai Jia; In terms of kung fu films, Chu Yuan made sword and martial arts films, and Hong Jingbao, Cheng Long, Yuan Biao and others made comedy kung fu films, and the achievements of these people were no worse than Wu Siyuan.

Therefore, even if he is thrown into the Xu family, Wu Siyuan may not be reused. The so-called rather is the head of the chicken, not the queen of the cow. Wu Siyuan felt that he was a senior, and he became famous earlier than the Xu brothers, so he naturally couldn't bear to be pressed on top of his head by a group of juniors, so the Xu family naturally couldn't take refuge.

This can't go, that can't go, Wu Siyuan can only be trapped in the small world of Jiahe. Naturally, I felt extremely aggrieved in my heart. "If you had just become independent. Choose to ally with him. Now Siyuan Film Company will also become a first-line big film company in Hong Kong. Wu Siyuan couldn't help but be annoyed.

Xu Ke was discovered by Wu Siyuan, and he wanted to use it as the key to revitalizing Siyuan Film Company. He believed in Xu Ke's talent and thought that Xu Ke would create new miracles for him, so he did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to support him.

Once Xu Ke becomes popular, Siyuan Film Company will have one more general who can charge, and its natural strength will be greatly improved. At that time, even if Golden Harvest gets in the way, they will have bargaining chips for further negotiations.

But now that Xu Guanwu actually ran to contact Xu Ke, he had to shock Wu Siyuan. So he learned the news. immediately called Xu Ke as soon as possible to inquire about his mental activities.

Xu Ke was not surprised after receiving Wu Siyuan's call, he had long known that there were Wu Siyuan's cronies in the crew of Ludao, who were responsible for supervising his filming work, and things like today were naturally reported to Wu Siyuan as soon as possible. Xu Ke has no opinion on this kind of behavior, to be honest, if he is the boss of a film company and pays a lot of money to invite others to make movies, he will definitely send cronies to follow the crew to supervise at any time.

He also understood the purpose of Wu Siyuan's call, so he didn't need to ask in circles, he made his words clear. "Mr. Wu, you gave me the opportunity to be a film director. So I am very grateful for your appreciation. So before the contract ends, I won't consider leaving Siyuan Film Company. And even if the contract expires, if the cooperation is pleasant during this period, I will consider staying with the company. ”

Xu Ke's statement made Wu Siyuan feel very happy, and he felt that this person really did not recognize his mistake, and the investment was really worth it. After getting a very satisfactory answer, Wu Siyuan didn't disturb Xu Ke's work, and hung up the phone in a hurry.

Wu Siyuan did a very good job, which made Xu Ke feel very comfortable. Even though he is also a famous film director in Hong Kong, when Xu Ke directed "Butterfly Change", he did not rely on his old qualifications, and he was a film investor, so he pointed fingers behind his back, and still respected Xu Ke's directing work very much.

This made Xu Ke very impressed, and he felt that he was really respected, so he respected Wu Siyuan so much. People's feelings are mutual, the king regards the minister as a sibling, and the minister regards the king as the heart; The monarch regards the minister as a dog and a horse, and the minister regards the monarch as a countryman; The king regards his ministers as mustard, and the ministers regard him as an enemy.

……

Just when Xu Ke continued to work overtime to film "Butterfly Change", Xu Guanwu returned to Taipei with Lin Qingxia.

"Ah Wu, what's so great about that Director Xu Ke, you have to go so far to see him during the New Year?" On the way, Lin Qingxia couldn't help but ask suspiciously.

"Qingxia, didn't you find out that he is a very talented director?" Xu Guanwu asked with a smile.

"I don't see much talent, but his unkempt appearance is the most sloppy one I've seen among so many directors I've worked with." Lin Qingxia wrinkled her nose and said, "Have you smelled it, there seems to be a smell on his body." ”

"It's normal, all geniuses always have some quirks. Like Einstein's boiled eggs, he can throw his pocket watch into it, and Xu Ke is not good at taking care of his personal hygiene, which is also a considerate thing. Because he put all his energy into the filming of the film, and he didn't have any extra energy to care about his own image. Xu Guanwu waved his hand and said, "The so-called can't live if you don't go crazy, and with such conscientious shooting as him, I believe that a masterpiece should be made." ”

"Is he really that powerful?" Lin Qingxia heard Xu Guanwu praise Xu Ke like this, and couldn't help but ask in surprise, "I think he is a little ashamed, saying that he wants to open up a new situation in new martial arts movies, which is really a big blow." Who does he think he is? Even director Zhang Cheda doesn't have that confidence. ”

"Director Zhang Che's glorious period has passed, and now it is going downhill, and people are already old, and natural creativity is beginning to decline. But like Xu Ke, he is in the prime of life, and I believe that if he is talented enough, he should be able to create a new situation in new martial arts movies. Xu Guanwu smiled.

Xu Ke did create a new situation in the new school of martial arts movies, but not because of this "Butterfly Change", but because of the "Huang Feihong" series co-produced by him and Li Lianjie, and the future filming of "Smiling Proud Jianghu" and "New Dragon Gate Inn".

However, the craze for new-school martial arts movies created by him did not last too long, from the beginning of "Smiling Proud Jianghu" to the end of "Sword Laughter", a total of only four or five years. In the past four or five years, there have been many masterpieces, and Li Lianjie alone has starred in many classic movies, such as the "Fang Shiyu" series, the "Wong Fei Hung" series, etc., and because of this new martial arts movie, he has become the most popular kung fu superstar in Hong Kong after Cheng Long.

"Since you believe in his talent, then I believe in your vision." Lin Qingxia saw Xu Guanwu praise Xu Ke like this, so she also nodded and smiled. (To be continued......)
