Chapter 108: The Wenner Band
"Second brother, those flying boys haven't been making trouble lately, so let's just let Hong Jingbao and them come back. Anyway, the filming of "Sande Monk and Chung Mi Liu" has been completed. Xu Guanjie proposed.
"Don't worry, wait another month or two." Xu Guanwu waved his hand and said, "Anyway, there are also sets and people in Taiwan, so let him ponder a new drama over there and not be in a hurry to come back." β
When Hui met with the Commissioner of the Independent Commission Against Corruption, he had already learned from him that ICAC was investigating the collusion between the police and the lame man, and had made significant progress, and it was believed that it would take action soon.
In his memory, Xu Guanwu also knew that Lame Hao was arrested and imprisoned shortly after the establishment of the Independent Commission Against Corruption.
That's why he was sure that Lame Hao was going to be unlucky, and if he let Hong Jingbao and them come back at that time, everything would be OK.
"It's okay to stay in Taiwan to make a film, anyway, there are actors there, there are countless mountains and rivers on the set, and it is quite convenient to shoot on location." Xu Guanwen nodded and said, "By the way, how is the discussion over Ms. Qiong Shao, do they accept our suggestion?" β
"The producer Chen Lihua I sent to negotiate with her had news coming back yesterday, because I didn't call you back because you were filming at that time." Xu Guanwu said, taking out the telegram sent back by Chen Lihua from his office, "Ms. Qiong Shao has accepted our suggestion and invited our company to send a producer to supervise the filming of this film on site." β
"Well, since she has agreed, let's sign a contract and pay for it." Xu Guanwen nodded and said, "Did you say anything about the investment?" β
"No, we should wait for our side to reply before Producer Chen can talk to Ms. Qiong Shao again." Xu Guanwu explained.
"That's it, send a telegram back to Producer Chen, and let her take full authority to deal with this matter." Xu Guanwen said, "Our brothers are so busy, who can take care of Taiwan." β
"That's not it, I haven't had anything to do lately, if my eldest brother wants me to go, I'll fly over and take a look." Xu Guanwu said with a smile.
Xu Guanwen smiled and did not speak again.
β¦β¦
The meeting had just ended, and the four brothers were about to go their separate ways, when suddenly there was a knock on the door of the conference room.
Xu Guanwu walked over and opened the door, but he didn't see anyone, and when he looked down again, he saw a person as tall as a teenager standing in the doorway.
"Teddy Robin?!" Xu Guanwu asked in surprise.
The short man in front of him, who is less than 1.6 meters tall, is the pioneer of the Hong Kong pop band, the pioneer of ** trendy movies, and one of the seven monsters of the New Arts City.
"Stanley! Long time no see! Teddy Robin enthusiastically stretched out his hand and shook it with Xu Guanwu, "What, don't you invite me in?" β
"Ah, of course not, please come in!" Xu Guanwu turned to one side and let Teddy Robin in.
"Hey, Robin!" Xu Guanjie and Teddy Robin have been friends for many years, and they often play together when they are stationed in the bar, so they are very happy to meet.
"Hello Mike, Hello Ying, Hello Sam!" Teddy Robin cheered and hugged Xu Guanjie.
However, with his height of less than 1.6 meters, hugging Xu Guanjie, who is 1.8 meters tall, the scene is a bit funny no matter how you look at it.
Teddy Robin has been singing English songs for many years, so he prefers to greet Westerners in an exaggerated and joyful way.
After hugging Xu Guanjie cordially, Teddy Robin sat down on the chair, "I heard that you guys have made a new movie recently?" β
"yes!" Xu Guanjie nodded, "Are you interested in getting involved?" β
"No, I am already preparing to go to the United States for further study, and I will not return to Hong Kong in the short term." Teddy Robin laughed.
βweishenmeοΌβ Xu Guanjie asked in surprise.
Although there is a boom in Cantonese songs in the Hong Kong music scene, English songs are still the mainstream. And Teddy Robin's Playboy Band is one of the most popular groups in Hong Kong.
"I feel a little tired, I've been singing and putting on a show all these years, and I feel really tired alone." Teddy Robin sighed and said, "So I want to go to the United States to have fun, maybe a year or two years, and come back when I've had enough." β
"In that case, your career will be ......," Xu Guanjie hesitated.
The metabolism of the Hong Kong music scene is very fast, and many newcomers have emerged after a while.
If Teddy Robin really goes to the United States for a year or two, his popularity will definitely be affected when he returns.
"It's going to go downhill, isn't it? Doesn't matter! Teddy Robin spread his hands, "My contract with Polygram has expired, and the company has urged me to renew it several times, but I have refused." I don't want to be manipulated anymore, and it's really annoying to have to do this and that again...... So while you're still young, go out for a year or two and have a good break. Don't wait until you can't run anymore and then go out, it would be pitiful. β
"You can think about it." Xu Guanjie said enviously, he admired Teddy Robin's open-minded attitude to life, as long as he was happy, it didn't matter.
"When are you leaving, I'll see you off at the airport." Xu Guanjie said.
"Wait a few more days, there are still some things to deal with in Hong Kong." Teddy Robin waved his hand and said, "By the way, Ah Sam, I know that your company is recruiting, and it just so happens that I have a few newcomers here, and the quality is very good, you can see if it is suitable." β
"Oh?!" Xu Guanjie was stunned for a moment, "What kind of newcomer, can you bring me to see?" β
Teddy Robin nodded, "I knew you would say that, I've already brought all the people." He snapped his fingers as he spoke.
In a matter of moments, six people came in from outside the door, all young men in their twenties, with long hair that was fashionable at the time, and tight bell bottoms.
"Huh?!" Xu Guanwu saw that three of the six young people were very familiar, and he couldn't help but look at them carefully in surprise.
"Aham, this is the Wenner Band." Teddy Robin laughed, "Don't call Mr. Xu yet!" β
"Mr. Xu!" The six young people shouted in unison, "Mr. Xu, I'm your fan, can you sign me later?" One of the young men laughed.
"I'm also your fan, Mr. Xu!" Another shouted too.
"Hey, hey, don't be so selfish about the two of you, okay, we're both fans of Mr. Xu, don't you wait for us to talk about it together?" The other four couldn't help but complain when they saw that these two people grabbed the lines first.
"Quiet, quiet," Teddy Robin scratched his head with a headache, "I didn't bring you here to chase stars, there are important things to do." β
Under the reprimand of Teddy Robin, the Wenner band all closed their mouths and stood upright, but everyone's eyes were still looking left and right, and they couldn't be idle at all.
"Ah Sam, what do you think of these young people?" Teddy Robin laughed.
"Very nice, very young energy. And the appearance is very beautiful. Xu Guanjie praised.
"Their singing skills are also very good, and they are the champions of the beach band singing competition I held this year." Teddy Robin laughed, "But there is no record company to sign them yet, do you want to see if your company wants it?" β
"This ......" Xu Guanjie hesitated, although he was good friends with Teddy Robin, and he also believed in the vision of his old friend, he was sure that this Wenner band was a good combination.
However, the Hui Brothers company is a film production company, and there is no record company at present, and even his own record contract is signed with Polygram. How can you sign this band?
"We took it." Xu Guanwu suddenly stood up behind him and said.
"Huh?!" When Xu Guanjie heard this, he couldn't help but look over in surprise.
