Xu Guanwu couldn't help but be stunned, "En?!" Why don't you print out a new script in advance, let everyone read it first, and then take it out at the meeting? ”

"It's a newcomer who wrote this script, and although I think it's pretty well written, but for the sake of insurance, I would like to ask you to take a look at it first and help check it." Hong Jingbao said with a smile.

"Really? Who is this newcomer? Xu Guanwu took the script and asked casually.

"His name is Huang Bingyao, and he used to be a Chinese teacher at a middle school...... "Hong Jingbao said with a smile.

Xu Guanwu trembled when he heard this, and almost dropped the script on the ground.

"Huang Bingyao?!The deadly scissor foot has appeared?!" Xu Guanwu couldn't help but be a little surprised.

Huang Bingyao is a famous gold medal screenwriter in Hong Kong, known as the bridge king military master next to Hong Jingbao, and has written many classic scripts, such as "Mr. Zombie", "Beware of Little Hands", "Five Lucky Stars", "Lucky Stars" and so on.

In the 90s, Hong Kong comedy entered the era of nonsense, and the comedies written by Wong Bingyao were a little outdated, so he turned to work with Wang Jing, Chow Xingchi and others, and turned from behind the scenes to guest appearances in film works. And it is most famous for the deadly scissor feet in "Truant Dragon".

It's a pity that when he was in front of and behind the scenes, he died suddenly of a heart attack, which can be described as a jealous talent.

Xu Guanwu quickly went through Huang Bingyao's information in his mind, and then forced himself to calm down and opened the script, and saw the three huge black characters "Loser" on the cover.

Xu Guanwu couldn't help but light up, isn't this the movie that Hong Jingbao shot for his popular junior brother Yuan Biao?

Of course, this "Loser" not only became popular with the starring Yuan Biao, but also the secondary protagonist Lin Zhengying was very outstanding. The film can also be called the basic teaching film of Wing Chun, which explains the key points of the use of Wing Chun's boxing routines in detail.

Xu Guanwu has also seen this film before. To be honest, it's really exciting. Although it was a work from thirty years ago. But now it doesn't seem to be outdated at all.

Whether it is the storyline, character building, martial arts scenes, movie soundtracks, etc., they were the pinnacle of Hong Kong-made kung fu films at that time.

Xu Guanwu thought in his heart, and his eyes kept looking at the script and comparing it with the storyline in his impression.

Hong Jingbao looked at Xu Guanwu's face with anxiety, trying to get from his facial expression. A glimmer of favorable news was detected.

After watching it for a while, Xu Guanwu breathed a sigh of relief, there is still a distance between this script and the movie he watched. In fact, Xu Guanwu had been mentally prepared for this.

Hong Kong films have always paid little attention to the script, and only have a rough idea before making a movie, and as for how to shoot it after arriving on the set, the screenwriter needs to save up jokes on the spot. Therefore, these screenwriters are also called Duqiao Junshi, they just turn what the director thinks into words, so the status of screenwriters in the Hong Kong film industry has not been high.

Perhaps the earliest version of the script of "The Loser" is the version I saw in front of me. But definitely during the filming process, the director and screenwriter will also temporarily bridge the bridge. That's why the storylines are so different.

In all fairness, Xu Guanwu admires Hong Kong directors and screenwriters who dare to start work with a list of actors, and can make movies look like they. But as the owner of a film company, he also knows the disadvantages of this kind of casualness.

Or like Wang Jiawei, he didn't have an accurate score before filming, but he kept changing and changing during the filming process, and he spent money on two movies to Zuihou, but he didn't even make back the box office of one movie.

Or like Wang Jing, who shoots many works a year, it is difficult to keep his energy low, and he makes many bad movies.

Therefore, Xu Guanwu highly admires the filming model of Xinyicheng, first of all, a team of seven people cooperates to create a script, and once the script is finalized, no one is allowed to modify it. Moreover, the on-set producer has the greatest power, once he finds that the director does not shoot according to the script, he immediately has the right to stop the shooting, or even fire the director directly.

This kind of filming mode is very similar to Hollywood's filming model, probably introduced by Mai Jia, the owner of Xinyi City, because he had worked hard in Hollywood before and was the assistant director of "007: The Golden Gun".

"Mr. Xu, what do you think of this script?" Hong Jingbao saw that Xu Guanwu had finished reading the script, and immediately came over and asked with a smile.

"To be honest, this newcomer is not bad, and this book is also written very carefully." Xu Guanwu praised first.

Hong Jingbao was not immediately happy, because he also knew in his heart that what he said in front was nonsense, and only those words behind "but" needed to be listened to.

"But this book still has some shortcomings." Xu Guanwu changed his words.

Hong Jing asked on the treasure, "Mr. Xu, I know that you are also a very good screenwriter, so it is better to point out this junior." ”

Xu Guanwu cheekily accepted the title of senior, then coughed and told the plot of the movie in his impression, "Do you think this way is smoother?" ”

Hong Jingbao looked at Xu Guanwu in surprise, thinking that it was no wonder that someone would be the boss. It only took more than ten minutes from getting this script in my hands to reading it, and people had already seen the shortcomings of this script, and they had already conceived a more haode script in their minds.

It's a genius!

Hong Jingbao immediately threw himself at Xu Guanwu's five bodies, and his admiration was incomprehensible.

"Mr. Xu, you are really amazing, my Sanmao really convinced you." Hong Jingbao said excitedly, "I'll take it back immediately and let him make changes." ”

"Well, is this Mr. Huang Bingyao still working as a Chinese teacher?" Xu Guanwu beckoned, called him back and asked.

"yes, writing this script is just a part-time job." Hong Jingbao smiled and said, "Mr. Xu, you also know what the status of Hong Kong's screenwriters is, except for gold medal screenwriters like Ni Wei, it is difficult for other screenwriters to mix." If you don't do some other work, you can't eat at all. ”

Xu Guanwu couldn't help but nod when he heard this, it seems that when Huang Baiming, one of the bosses of Xinyi City, was a screenwriter before, he was also closed because he often couldn't receive the final payment, which was far less chic than his previous manager of a foreign bank with a monthly salary of 10,000 Hong Kong dollars.

"So, you recruit him into the company. The monthly salary is 2,000 Hong Kong dollars first. Then each script written was adopted by the company. There is a prize of 5,000 dollars. Plus a 10% share of the box office. Xu Guanwu thought for a while.

"Wow! Didn't he send it? In this way, it seems that it would be better for me to become a screenwriter again. Hong Jingbao said in surprise.

According to the current box office of the Xu Brothers Company's films, Huang Bingyao can earn 30,000 Hong Kong dollars for a play, which is more than the popular movie stars of Shaw Brothers.

"Don't worry, the company won't treat you old employees badly. I'll discuss with my eldest brother and them to reform the current salary system so that you can also participate in box office dividends. Xu Guanwu said.

"That's too much, Mr. Xu, you." Hong Jingbao said with a happy face.

……

After dealing with Hong Jingbao's affairs, Xu Guanwu hurriedly invited Director Chu Yuan again.

Director Chu Yuan has not eaten well in recent days. I can't sleep well, and I'm always worried about whether I can live my script. So I haven't seen him for a few days, and the whole person seems to have lost a lot of weight, which makes Xu Guanwu feel a little sorry when he sees it.

It's not that he deliberately wants to torture Director Chu Yuan, it's really like this in the company system, and he doesn't want to and can't set a precedent for Director Chu alone.

"Director Chu, I want to tell you a good news, the company has approved your script." Xu Guanwu said enthusiastically.

Chu Yuan immediately jumped up from his chair when he heard this, "Really?!" Mr. Xiexie Xu, Mr. Xiexie Xu! ”

"The list of actors you drafted has basically passed. Only this Meng Xingsoul's actor Zong Hua, everyone's opinions are not consistent. Xu Guanwu said. thinks that he is a little old as Meng Xingsoul, and the costume style is not necessarily good-looking. ”

"Mr. Xu, Zong Hua is a very spiritual actor, and he also works very hard. We had previously worked together on the movie "Little Bastard", and I was very impressed with him. I think he's a very good fit. Chu Yuan hurriedly explained.

"Well, you have your considerations, and the company has your considerations. Others also put forward two candidates, one is Di Long and the other is Jiang Dawei. Xu Guanwu said with a smile, "I welcome anyone who plays these three people, you can contact Shaw Brothers first to see which of these three people has a schedule." Don't shave your head and pick your head hot. ”

"I see, Mr. Xu." Chu Yuan nodded and said.

"Okay, wait a minute, you go to the production department to find Chen Lihua, she is the producer of your film." Xu Guanwu said again, "You and her will work out the production cost together, and then bring it to me for approval." After the seven-member group meeting next week is approved, the film can be officially prepared. ”

Chu Yuan couldn't help frowning when he heard this, he originally thought that after the project passed the review, he would be able to take the money to make a film immediately. I didn't expect to have to wait another week, which is really troublesome.

But after all, I am a newcomer, and I have not contributed to the company at all, so where is my own talk? Besides, everyone else in the company abides by this system, so why should you be specialized?

Thinking about it, I am already very satisfied with filming now, and besides, I have survived nine months, is there still a week left? immediately took the script and went to Chen Lihua for accounting.

……

After the noon matter was dealt with, Xu Guanwu returned home and prepared to attend the party hosted by Shen Bi at the Royal Hong Kong Yacht Club in the afternoon.

"Ah Wu, how do you see me wearing this long dress?" Zhao Yazhi asked wearing this year's Dior's latest summer dress dress.

"Not bad." Xu Guanwu glanced at it and nodded.

This long dress is worn on Zhao Yazhi, elegant and sexy, and it definitely attracts the attention of everyone.

"Really?! Qingxia, Yin Meng, what do you think? Zhao Yazhi asked the other two beauties again.

It is difficult for women to escape the temptation of jewelry and fashion. When I saw Zhao Yazhi's latest Dior fashion, all of them were dazzled.

"Wow, that's beautiful! How much did you buy it? Lin Qingxia leaned over enviously and asked.

"20,000 Hong Kong dollars, do you think it's worth it?" Zhao Yazhi asked with a smile.

"20,000 Hong Kong dollars, isn't that more than 140,000 New Taiwan dollars?! Oh my God, that's enough to buy half a house. Lin Qingxia exclaimed in surprise.

"Ah Zhi, you are too extravagant, wear half a house on your body. If you accidentally spill a little tomato juice, you can destroy half of the wall. Hu Yinmeng smiled.

"Don't curse me, I bought this dress with great difficulty." Zhao Yazhi said nervously, "Why don't I change my body, it would be a pity if I really spilled ketchup or red wine at the party." Saying that, Zhao Yazhi wanted to go back and change her clothes again.

"Clothes are bought to be worn, otherwise what would you buy them for? Just to sit in the closet and wait for it to become obsolete? Xu Guanwu put down the newspaper and walked over and said, "Splash the tomato juice on it, and if you go back and throw it away, you can buy a new one." ”

"That's right, Ah Zhi, you have such a rich husband, and you're afraid that you won't be able to wear beautiful clothes?" Hu Yinmeng said with a smile.

"Oh, then I'll wear it." Zhao Yazhi immediately smiled proudly.

"Alright, it's almost time, and we should go too." Xu Guanwu reminded.

"I see. Qingxia, Yin Meng, let's go! You two are going to watch TV at home. Zhao Yazhi turned her head and smiled proudly.

"Don't show off, look back at you." Hu Yinmeng scolded with a smile. (To be continued......)
