In fact, since Xu Guanwu just returned to Hong Kong from the United States, he was panicked when he saw the company's low morale, and he wanted to start filming a new drama immediately.

It's a pity that he was busy dealing with the Zhao family and the preparation for the construction of the theater chain next, so much so that he forgot about it.

Now seeing Hong Jingbao, Cheng Long, Yuan Biao and others, Xu Guanwu can't help but feel a little apologetic.

"Sanmao, Ah Long, Ah Biao, I'm sorry! You've been idle for so long. Xu Guanwu opened his mouth and said, "How are you doing, are you thinking about new movies?" ”

Hong Jingbao, Cheng Long, and Yuan Biao hurriedly stood up, "Mr. Xu, you and us daoqian, how dare we do this?" In fact, our new drama has only been completed for more than a month, and we are just thinking about new works while there is no filming during this time. ”

"More than a month is enough to make a movie, and I'm really sorry to delay your fortune. I heard about Ah Long's salary, and now it has been called 100,000 Hong Kong dollars outside. Xu Guanwu said with a smile.

"Mr. Xu, I am able to have the fame I am today because of you. I will not betray the company. Cheng Long scratched his head and said sincerely.

Xu Guanwu also knew that Cheng Long was a righteous person.

When he left Luo Wei and switched to Golden Harvest, it was also because Luo Wei did too much.

I think that Cheng Long was praised by Luo Wei and starred in a few kung fu movies, but none of them were blockbusters. Later, Wu Siyuan recognized the hero with the eyes of Wu Siyuan, and took him to shoot two dramas, "Serpentine Trickster" and "Drunken Fist", which were big sellers.

At that time, because the first "Serpentine Trickster" was a big hit, when filming the second "Drunken Fist", Wu Siyuan directly gave a super high salary of 50,000 Hong Kong dollars, which completely shocked Cheng Long, because he was in Luo Wei Company at that time, and the salary for filming a film was only 3,000 Hong Kong dollars.

Luo Wei saw that Cheng Long's two movies were big sellers, so he took him back to make a film for himself, but the salary for one film was only 6,000 Hong Kong dollars, which was only double the previous one.

But Cheng Long's fame is not what it used to be, not to mention that after taking a turn outside, his vision is very different, and he naturally scoffs at the 6,000 Hong Kong dollars.

In addition, Luo Wei's concept is backward, knowing that kung fu comedies are popular, but he doesn't shoot them, but vigorously denounces them, and even Cheng Long's filming of "One and a Half Tricks into the Rivers and Lakes" was sealed in a box and not released, until two years later, Cheng Long's kung fu comedies filmed in Golden Harvest were sold again and again, and they were turned out from the bottom of the box and released.

It can be said that the split between Cheng Long and Luo Wei, Luo Wei himself is mostly responsible.

Xu Guanwu is naturally not as old-fashioned as Luo Wei, "I have been thinking about it for more than a month, do you have any good ideas?" ”

"There is a little immature idea," Hong Jingbaohan scratched his head with a smile, "Director Zhang Cheda recently filmed a "Shaolin Five Ancestors", and the story of Shaolin lay disciples was very popular after its release. Therefore, I also wanted to make a movie about the disciples of the Shaolin layman. ”

"Oh, what's the storyline?" Xu Guanwu asked curiously.

Although he also has a script specially prepared for Hong Jingbao and the three of them at the moment, if they are not bad at pondering it themselves, then Xu Guanwu is also willing to support their own ideas.

After all, he knows that there are not many classic kung fu movies he can remember, and now he will use one less, so in order for the company to develop steadily in the future, it is necessary to stimulate the potential of others.

Hong Jingbao saw that Xu Guanwu looked very interested, and immediately told the storyline he was pondering.

The more Xu Guanwu listened, the more surprised he became, and he found that the film told by Hong Jingbao had really seen it before, like the movie called "Sande Monk and Chung Mi Liu".

"Sanmao, what's the title of your film?" After Xu Guanwu listened, he asked in surprise.

"I haven't thought of the title yet, how about calling it "Shaolin Lay Disciples"?" Hong Jingbao said with a smile.

"How about you call it "Sande Monk and Chung Mi Liu"?" Xu Guanwu shook his head and said the name in his memory.

Hong Jingbao's eyes lit up when he heard this, "Mr. Xu is smarter than me, and his name is good." ”

"Alright, don't praise me." Xu Guanwu waved his hand, "After listening to it, I feel that this story is good, you can pat it on." You go ahead and prepare. ”

Hong Jingbao heard that Xu Guanwu had decided to invest in filming, and couldn't help jumping three feet high, "Mr. Xiexie Xu." ”

"The starring role of this film, Chung Mi Liu, is naturally played by you, so who are you going to invite the monk of Sande?" Xu Guanwu asked curiously.

"I haven't thought about this for the time being," Hong Jingbao scratched his head and said, "But if I am the leading actor, my fame is a little not enough, so it is better to find a more famous popular star foil." ”

"Monk Sande has found a list, his "The First Punch in the World" is popular all over North America, and it is very popular in Southeast Asia." Cheng Long suggested on the side.

"The salary is very expensive, and it costs 10,000 Hong Kong dollars a day to shoot. It takes at least ten days to be a leading actor, which is more than 100,000 Hong Kong dollars. Yuan Biao raised objections.

"The movies starring people are blockbusters, so they dare to call high prices. I think it won't hurt to ask him to star in the starring role. Cheng Long argued.

Seeing Cheng Long and Yuan Biao arguing, Xu Guanwu suddenly remembered a funny thing, which was also about this list.

This list is filming with Zhang Che, and Wang Yu is the first generation of Zhang Dao's disciples, but if Wang Yu is counted as a disciple, Luo Lie can only be counted as half.

Because he often goes to shoot other directors' scenes, Director Zhang Da sometimes asks him to film, but he can't find him.

Since "The First Punch in the World" became popular all over North America and sold tens of millions of dollars at the box office, he has become the most popular kung fu star, and his reputation is not far behind Bruce Lee.

However, after this person became famous, he did not cherish his feathers like Bruce Lee, and the film was too indiscriminate, so he would shoot it if he gave money. Whether it is the starring or supporting role, and regardless of the storyline, whether it is a bad movie or not.

"Whatever the director is called, he will do." This is what Lorry himself said.

Later, there were too many people looking for him, and the salary rose again and again, so Luo Lie shouted out a salary of 10,000 yuan a day, and he was the first in Hong Kong.

But the films he starred in were better than the films in which he played supporting roles, so a Taiwanese film company offered 10,000 Hong Kong dollars to ask him to star.

10,000 Hong Kong dollars is only filmed for one day, how did you do the starring role?

It turned out that people filmed it like this, after listing the whole family being killed by the enemy, he roared angrily, "I want revenge", and then covered his face at once. then changed into a stand-in and wore a mask to complete all the scenes for him, and on the same day, he took a close-up shot of listing all the enemies in his hand and removing the mask.

Thinking of this, Xu Guanwu sneered, thinking that the filmmakers at that time were really TM geniuses.

Xu Guanwu was cold, and Hong Jingbao and the three of them were stunned.

"In front of Mr. Xu, you two are fighting over what kind of system you have become." Hong Jingbao put on the stand of the senior brother and reprimanded.

In a word, Cheng Longyuan and Biao both lost their temper.

"Mr. Xu, you make the decision." Hong Jingbao said with a smile.

Xu Guanwu thought about it, and felt that it was not impossible to ask Luo Lie to act.

Although this person is too indiscriminate, his acting skills are very good, he can also work hard, and he also has a high box office appeal. Even if the salary is a little higher, it is not unsupportable.

"Sanmao, just use him. Organize it as soon as you get back. Xu Guanwu nodded.
