Chapter 18: Lin Qingxia's debut novel
After the finale banquet, Xu Guanwen immediately took Wu Yusen into the editing room, and finally edited the film after a night of sleeplessness.
The editor of the film "Ghost Horse Double Star" is Zhang Yaozong, the chief editor of Golden Harvest, and he is also the exclusive editor of Cheng Long's films in the future, and he is very good at editing action scenes. Classic works include the "Police Story" series, "Who Am I", "Drunken Fist 2" and so on.
Subsequently, Xu Guanjie took a copy of the movie to Mr. Gu Jiahui's soundtrack.
In order to meet this Hong Kong music prodigy, Xu Guanwu also volunteered to accompany him.
When the two came to Mr. Koo's studio, they saw him drawing on paper while playing a movie, looking very serious.
Xu Guanjie is also an excellent musician, and naturally knows that he can't be disturbed at all in this state. Otherwise, it would be quite frustrating if it disturbed the mind and caused the hard-won inspiration to be lost.
"Second brother, let's sit here." Xu Guanjie said very quietly.
Xu Guanwu didn't seem to hear his words, his two eyes stared straight at the movie screen, and he saw that a Taiwanese movie was being staged on it, and the heroine was clearly Lin Qingxia, who would be famous in the future.
"Second brother, second brother, sit down." Xu Guanjie pulled Xu Guanwu's sleeve and said.
Xu Guanwu reacted at this time, and hurriedly found a place to sit down, but his eyes never left the screen.
"Yes, it must be Lin Qingxia." He is more and more sure of his vision, but at this moment, Lin Qingxia is only seventeen or eighteen years old, and her acting skills look quite young, but her beautiful and vulgar temperament has already radiated through the screen.
"It is worthy of a beauty that is rare to see in fifty years, and it is really a bit of a disaster for the country and the people. Look at this temperament, I don't know how many artificial beauties will kill later generations. Xu Guanwu pondered while watching.
Seeing this rising star, Xu Guanwu immediately wanted to sign her into the company, but he felt inappropriate when he thought about it.
First of all, although Lin Qingxia will be a superstar in the Hong Kong film industry in the future, she is only just debuting, needless to say, her acting skills are young, and her current acting career is not broad.
One is that Lin Qingxia doesn't know how to punch and kick, and she is soft when she shoots kung fu movies, and she can't make a splash without a certain stunt; The second is that Lin Qingxia's funny skills are insufficient, even if she made the blockbuster comedy "East Becomes West" in her last life, you can see that Lin Qingxia's funny skills are not only far inferior to actors such as Liang Chaowei and Leung Jiahui, but even weaker than Wang Zuxian and Liu Jialing. In the next few years, the Hong Kong film industry will only be able to sell kung fu movies and comedy films.
Therefore, if she is brought from Taiwan to Hong Kong at a high price at this moment, not only will she not be a blockbuster, but she will help destroy this rising star in vain.
"Forget it, let's let her make literary aiqing films in Taiwan for a few years." After figuring out the joint, Xu Guanwu sighed and said.
He now felt more and more that foresight was sometimes not necessarily a good thing. met two superstars in the Hong Kong film industry in a row, but unfortunately they always missed out for one reason or another, which is really depressing.
"Most of the prophets recorded in ancient Greek mythology are tragic, and I hope I can avoid this fate." Xu Guanwu said to himself silently.
After waiting for more than two hours, Xu Guanwu's buttocks were a little numb, only to see that Mr. Gu Jiahui finally threw the pen in his hand and jumped up with a bang, "It's done, it's finally done...... like a naughty boy who has just finished school, jumping and jumping there.
"Brother Hui!" Xu Guanjie stood up in surprise and shouted softly.
"Ah, it's SAM, when did you arrive? Why don't you call me? Seeing Xu Guanjie, Gu Jiahui couldn't help scratching his head and asked with a slight smile.
"It didn't take long to see that you were busy, so I didn't dare to disturb you." Xu Guanjie said with a smile, he and Gu Jiahui are both people who work hard in the music world, and they don't see each other when they look up, so they are no strangers to each other.
"This one is ......" Gu Jiahui looked at Xu Guanwu and said with some hesitation.
"Brother Hui, this is my second brother, Xu Guanwu! Second brother, this is Mr. Gu Jiahui! Xu Guanjie introduced to the two.
"Hello Mr. Gu, it's really a pleasure to meet you today." Xu Guanwu hurriedly stepped forward, shook Gu Jiahui's hand very enthusiastically and said, "If you have time, can you sign for me?" ”
Gu Jiahui couldn't imagine Xu Guanwu's enthusiasm, and he couldn't help but be stunned. Although he is now well-known in the music industry, he is not the "Huihuang Ersheng" in the future, how could he have imagined that someone would worship him so much.
"haode, haode......" Gu Jiahui hurriedly agreed, and at the same time looked at Xu Guanjie with an inquiring gaze, that means that your second brother can't have a problem, right?
Xu Guanjie coughed lightly, "Brother Hui, I came this time to ask you to dub this film, do you think it's appropriate now?" With that, Xu Guanjie took out the copy of the movie.
"The movie is finished? Good, good! Let me take a look at your masterpieces. Gu Jiahui took the copy with a smile, and called the assistant to come in and bring down the score of Haode, and put the table out again.
"What is the name of the film that Mr. Gu just scored? The heroine looks very temperamental. Xu Guanwu suddenly asked.
It is a Taiwanese literary film called "Outside the Window". The heroine's name is Lin Hexia, although she looks very temperamental, it should be the first time to film, and her acting skills are still very young. Mr. Gu Jiahui commented.
"Well, I think she actually has a lot of potential." Xu Guanwu said with a smile.
"Yes, a girl with a temperament like her, it is most suitable to make this kind of literary aiqing film. If I had money, I would definitely sign her as the heroine, and if I made ten or eight of them, I would make a lot of money. Gu Jiahui also agreed, "It's a pity that in addition to a few state-owned companies in Taiwan's film industry, other film companies are controlled by hackers, and it's impossible for me to get in." ”
Xu Guanwu was speechless when he heard it, at this time, the Hong Kong film industry is still Golden Harvest and Shaw Brothers share the world equally, and it is impossible for the black 1 society to get a piece of the pie in the film industry even if they want to. As Skin 1, Ngee An's eldest brother Xiang Huaqiang once founded Yongsheng Pictures Company, and he was the protagonist and made several kung fu movies, but unfortunately the box office failed miserably and could only be closed.
However, Taiwan's film industry is basically controlled by the black 1 society, they use violent means to control artists, and even use guns to force celebrities to film for them, acting extremely arrogant and reckless. For example, the famous comedian was controlled by the Black 1 Gang if he couldn't do it, filmed 60 films in six years, and usually had to run the show to make money, and was forced to inject 1 drug product due to lack of energy, and finally died of illness in his thirties. This also made Taiwanese stars flee Taiwan almost en masse in the 80s, making the Taiwanese film industry unavailable for a while.
"Will our Xu Brothers Company have anything to do with the Black 1 Society in the future? And how can this be avoided? For a while, Xu Guanwu was also distressed.
