Chapter 597: Yu Yunkang, who is sorrowful
It doesn't matter if Xu Guanwu's identity is revealed, there are many people gathered in a hula. In the past, after reading too many reports, people really wondered what real people looked like, and they wanted to take a closer look. Xu Guanwu's bodyguards and the police officers present hurriedly formed a circle and separated Xu Guanwu from the people.
The one who wanted to jump off the building upstairs was even more angry when he heard Xu Guanwu's words, pointing at Xu Guanwu and scolding, "I have today, I was killed by you, and you still have the face to stand here?" ”
Xu Guanwu was stunned by his scolding, thinking that I don't know you, how can it have anything to do with you. Then he shouted up with a loud voice, "Friend, to make it clear, how did I hurt you?" ”
When the man heard this, he pointed at Xu Guanwu and scolded, "My movie was originally released well, but you insisted on painting it, which caused me to lose more than 100,000 yuan." Now my house has been sold, my job has been lost, and I am being collected by loan sharks every day, and you have harmed me. The more he scolded, the more angry he became, and the man couldn't help but throw a beer bottle down.
Xu Guanwu hurriedly dodged sharply, bang! The beer bottle landed on the ground with a crunching sound.
When everyone present saw that there was danger, they didn't care about the onlookers, and hurriedly dispersed.
Xu Guanwu smiled bitterly, "I know who you are, are you Yu Yunkang, the director of "Mountain Dogs", right?" ”
"You finally remember me." Yu Yun scolded.
"Well, that incident is all in the past, and it's hard to say who is wrong and who is right. But people always have to look forward. Xu Guanwu raised his head and said, "Come down, I'll help you solve the loan shark matter." You're a very talented director, you shouldn't have to go down this road. ”
"Fuck off. I don't need you to pretend to be kind. Yu Yunkang scolded loudly.
"I'm not pretending to be nice. I just pity you for your talent. I've watched "Murder List" many times. It's one of the scariest Hong Kong movies I've ever seen. As a young director, you are indeed not simple, and your film road will be very long in the future, so why do you need to practice yourself like now? If you do jump off, you're done. Xu Guanwu said, "I know that you are a talent who has returned from studying abroad, think about what you studied hard for before, think about your ambition when you were filming, you are still young, what are the hurdles you can't over." Do you have to go down this dead end?"
Yu Yunkang couldn't help but be stunned when Xu Guanwu said this, and after waiting for a long time, he smiled bitterly at Xu Guanwu, "Are you really willing to help me?" ”
"Yes, there's something to discuss, come down." Xu Guanwu nodded.
"Okay, I'll trust you for once." Yu Yunkang hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded.
But after waiting for a long time, he didn't see him get up, and Xu Guanwu couldn't help shouting. "I promised to help you, and you chose to believe me. Why can't it come down yet? ”
"I have a fear of heights, and now my legs are weak." Yu Yunkang shouted embarrassedly.
The people below couldn't help but laugh when they heard this, and in the end, two policemen went up to save Yu Yunkang. But then he was taken to the police station. After all, if you are yelling upstairs to jump off the building, and you are drinking and swearing, you must at least sue him for disorderly behavior in a public place.
Xu Guanwu and Lin Qingxia drove all the way behind, paid bail for Yu Yunkang at the police station, and guaranteed him out so that he would not be imprisoned again.
Yu Yunkang came out of the police station and couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed when he saw Xu Guanwu and Lin Qingxia. I scolded again just now, and threw the wine bottle downward, but people still saved me and helped me pay the bail, I really owe too much to others, and I was embarrassed to speak for a while.
Xu Guanwu This is also the first time to see Yu Yunkang up close, he is not very familiar with the director Yu Yunkang, although he is the best of the new wave film directors, "Mountain Dog", "Murder List", "Fierce Cat" and other films are directed by him, but Yu Yunkang's works are still too few after all, and he has already withdrawn from the rivers and lakes, so it is very troublesome for future generations to find his information.
When Xu Guanwu first watched "Murder List", he was shocked by this movie. To tell the truth, Xu Guanwu has always thought that Hong Kong movies are ghost movies, only Hong Jingbao's "Scary" series and Lin Zhengying's "Zombie Taoist" series. I never thought that in the early 80s, there would be such a terrifying film in Hong Kong, whether it is story arrangement, atmosphere rendering, and picture special effects, it has reached the peak stage. To tell the truth, although Hong Kong ghost movies will be rampant in the future, there are only ones that can reach the level of "Murder List".
Moreover, "Murder List" also boldly introduced the Chinese Maoshan technique to subdue the evil ghosts, which is really a major innovation in Hong Kong ghost films, and has also become a series of Maoshan Taoist films in later generations.
And although Xu Guanwu has not seen the film "Mountain Dog", he has also heard of its name. can play the movie so sharply decades ago, Yu Yunkang is really quite avant-garde. Although the film technology of later generations has developed rapidly, such as 3D, IMAX, computer special effects, etc., there is no movie that can compare with the barbarism and bloodiness of "Mountain Dog", which shows the bull X of this movie.
However, although these works are all works with great fame, director Yu Yunkang is still a little obscure, and he belongs to the kind of film celebrities who are not popular. This is also the sorrow of many directors in Hong Kong, because people lacked systematic data sorting for Hong Kong films before, which caused the loss of many directors' information. Later generations can't pay tribute even if they want to.
After Xu Guanwu watched "Murder List", he originally wanted to find a photo of Yu Yunkang, but he only found a few vague newspaper silhouettes, on which Yu Yunkang's appearance was quite blurry, and he couldn't recognize what he looked like at all. I didn't expect to finally meet a real person today.
The live-action version of Yu Yunkang is not yet thirty years old, with long hair like a pot lid and a black-framed myopic glasses, which looks polite. But probably because of drinking, so the face is flushed.
"Okay, don't say anything, you go home and rest first, and call me when you wake up." Xu Guanwu took out a business card, handed it to him, and sent him into a taxi.
Yu Yunkang looked at Xu Guanwu through the car window in a daze, and was speechless for a while.
Wait for the taxi to go far. Lin Qingxia glanced at Xu Guanwu in surprise. "It's rare to see you give people business cards. Looks like you really appreciate this guy. ”
"Yes, he is actually very good at making movies, but unfortunately although his films are good, they are not popular in Hong Kong." Xu Guanwu smiled.
Yu Yunkang is best at shooting horror movies, but his kind of horror films are different from Hong Jingbao's ghost movies. Hong Jingbao's ghost film is mixed with a lot of jokes and martial arts scenes, which greatly dissolves the horror elements that ghost movies should have, making it a comedy ghost film suitable for all ages. For example, in "Uncle Zombie", the scene in front of the monks and Taoists playing tricks on each other is more than 40 minutes. It takes up almost half of the film.
However, Yu Yunkang's horror films mainly render the horror atmosphere, which is a relatively pure horror film. But this kind of horror film is not popular in Hong Kong, and it is far less popular than Hung Jingbao's psychedelic kung fu films. Although Yu Yunkang also worked hard to change later, he not only invited the famous director Wang Jing to write the script, but also invited the older generation of kung fu star Liu Jialiang to go out of the mountain, and invited the popular student Zheng Haonan to play the starring role, but unfortunately "Fierce Cat" did not make him brilliant again, but because there were too many low-level jokes mixed together, and there were many hard flaws in the storyline, the box office of this movie was not high. Yu Yunkang, who was originally ambitious, couldn't help but be disheartened, and retired soon after.
In fact, Xu Guanwu felt that Yu Yunkang was a little unadaptable. If he were to shoot a horror movie in the United States, or a similar horror movie in Japan, he would have been able to achieve great success with his skills. However, the Chinese do not have access to the development of resources in the United States or Japan, which is also a shackle that restricts Yu Yunkang's development. But now that there is Xu Guanwu, everything is easy to say.
……
Because this happened halfway, the two of them were not interested in shopping, and they went home directly after coming out of the police station. At night, Xu Guanwu had just finished taking a shower and was about to go to bed with his wife, but at this time, the phone at home suddenly rang.
"Who is it that called so late?" Zhao Yazhi couldn't help frowning and asked, she originally wanted to have a warm stay with her husband tonight, but she didn't know who Lu Dao was so eyeless, and she even called in the middle of the night.
Xu Guanwu also walked over and picked up the phone in confusion, but heard Yu Yunkang's voice, "Mr. Xu, help, those loan sharks are coming to me again." ”
Xu Guanwu was stunned for a moment, and then smiled, "Don't panic, where are you now, I'll go look for you." ”
Yu Yunkang hurriedly gave him the address.
After Xu Guanwu hung up the phone, he planned to call the bodyguards to send him. But before she could get out of the room, she was stopped by Zhao Yazhi, "It's so late, husband, where are you going?" ”
"There's a friend who has an accident, I'll go over and take a look." Xu Guanwu said.
"What kind of friend is so important, and you still want to run in the middle of the night? It can't be that you made some wine and meat friends outside and pulled you to go outside to be happy, right? Zhao Yazhi suddenly asked in surprise.
"Of course not, it's the director I saved today, he is now being collected by a loan shark, I have to rush over to save him. You can sleep by yourself first, and don't wait for me any longer. Xu Guanwu said.
Seeing Xu Guanwu leading the bodyguards to leave in a hurry, Zhao Yazhi couldn't help but stomp her feet angrily, hum!
Xu Guanwu immediately rushed over by car according to the address given by Yu Yunkang, and when he got there, he realized that Lu Dao was a small hotel. It is said that the hotel is a bit high-minded, but in fact it is a large pigeon cage, with many small rooms separated by partitions. That small room is a little too much to turn around when you live alone, it's even worse than a prison cell. And because there are many people living in the house and the air is not circulating, the house is filled with all kinds of smells, such as the smell of stinky feet, the smell of feces and urine, and the smell of gluttonous rice...... The power of mixing together is no less than a poison gas bomb, and as soon as Xu Guanwu led the people in, he was directly smoked out by this smell.
"Director Yu, are you inside, I'm Xu Guanwu, I brought the money. Let's come out and talk. Xu Guanwu really didn't want to go in anymore, so he stood at the door and shouted.
"Hit the street, what a noise in the middle of the night!"
"Pu, your aunt, it's noisy!"
"Lose your mother, you have a heart of morality, what are you arguing about in the middle of the night?"
There was a mess of scolding in the room, which made Xu Guanwu's face turn green when he heard it.
After waiting for a while, a group of people pressed Yu Yunkang and walked out, and a strong man led by him saw Xu Guanwu and couldn't help but point his hand, "Are you going to help him pay back the money?" ”
Xu Guanwu smiled, "It's me, how much does he owe you in total?" ”
The big man looked at Xu Guanwu and the people he brought, and knew by his intuition that Xu Guanwu was a rich man, so he naturally wanted to take the opportunity to knock on it.
"It's not much, it's only 500,000 Hong Kong dollars in total." The big man said with a smile.
"I only owe a total of 130,000, and then I paid back more than 80,000, where is there so much as 500,000?" Yu Yunkang couldn't help but exclaim.
"Pu your aunt, isn't interest money? And isn't the cost of our brothers' work? The big man grabbed Yu Yunkang's clothes and made a gesture to fight.
"Slow," Xu Guanwu hurriedly said to stop, "500,000 is a small meaning, you can't beat someone." ”
"It's still the boss, then give the money." The big man said with a grin.
Xu Guanwu nodded and directly gave him the check for 500,000 yuan.
The big man took the check and looked left and right, not sure whether it was real or fake, so he shouted to the back, "Cashier Liu, you can help verify this check." ”
A person squeezed out of the crowd behind, which made Xu Guanwu take aback when he saw it, "Bodhi Ancestor?!" (To be continued......)
