After Liu Guoyao picked up his friend in front of the door, he turned to look at Lu Zonghao and Cong Fengmao: "Let me introduce you, this is ......"

"Uncle, needless to say, in this place on Hong Kong Island, how can anyone not know the famous Mr. Xu!"

From Fengmao, Liu Guoyao was a little surprised that Liu Guoyao would find such a weighty person, and stepped forward to hold the other party's palm: "Mr. Xu, I am your fan and I have always liked your works!" ”

Lu Zonghao saw this familiar face, and also stretched out his palm: "Mr. Xu, it's a pleasure to meet you." ”

He was able to say the other person's last name, not because of a reminder from Feng Mao, but because he really knew the person.

This person is Xu Guanwen, one of the three masters of the Xu family.

When it comes to the king of comedy on Hong Kong Island, everyone's first impression must be comedy master Zhou Xingxing.

But in fact, Zhou Xingxing can only be regarded as the king of comedy in the second generation, before Zhou Xingxing emerged, the recognized king of comedy on Hong Kong Island was the black-framed glasses in front of him, who did not look good.

In the seventies and eighties of the last century, "Hui's Three Heroes" can be said to be in the limelight in the Hong Kong film industry for a while, and it is a guarantee of popularity and box office.

But in fact, the "Xu's Three Heroes" should be the "Xu's Four Heroes", Xu Guanwen, Xu Guanwu, Xu Guanying, and Xu Guanjie.

These four brothers have their own strengths, and during the most prosperous period of Hong Kong film development, they have made outstanding contributions to the entire Hong Kong entertainment industry.

Between 74 and 81, Xu Guanwen wrote, directed and acted in comedies, which won the Hong Kong annual box office champion five times in a row.

It is worth mentioning that Xu Guanwen and kung fu superstar Bruce Lee were classmates and had a very good personal relationship.

Xu Guanwu, the second eldest member of the Xu family, is mainly engaged in behind-the-scenes work, but he only has occasional cameos, which is not a very obvious one, so the three heroes of the Xu family mentioned by the outside world did not count Xu Guanwu into it.

and the third Xu Guanying is the actor of Wencai in Lin Zhengying's zombie series.

In 1978, he starred in the movie "Deed of Sale" to become the annual box office champion in Hong Kong, and was the first generation of Hong Kong Island singers before Jacky Cheung.

In this era when the entertainment industry has just taken off, the four heroes of the Hui family can be called half of the sky in the Hong Kong entertainment industry, Xu Guanwen, who is a star, a comedy master, and a famous director, is a well-deserved predator in the Hong Kong Island film and television circle in this era.

Under Liu Guoyao's recommendation, the group quickly went upstairs and pulled out a chair from Feng Mao's courteous help to Xu Guanwen: "Mr. Xu, because we don't know how long you will come, we didn't order your meal, so I'll call the waiter." ”

Xu Guanwen, as a predator in the film and television industry, still has some arrogance: "Forget it, I still have a night scene to shoot tonight, so I can only stay here for half an hour, since Mr. Liu has something to do with me, let's get straight to the point." ”

Liu Guoyao nodded: "Guanwen, I came to you today because Xiaomao wants to invest in a film and television company, but I don't know much about this industry, so I thought I would ask you to check it." ”

"With Mr. Liu to speak, I will do my best."

Xu Guanwen nodded with a smile and said to Cong Fengmao: "In the future, when you are filming, if you encounter difficulties or do not understand something, you can contact me, in fact, making a movie, it is difficult to say, it is simple to say, it is nothing more than the director, actor, venue, and approval, with Mr. Liu's face, your approval will definitely not be a problem, and the director and actors are not difficult to find, but if you want to make money, a good script is particularly important." ”

Lu Zonghao handed over the manuscript in his hand in a timely manner: "Mr. Xu, this is the script of the first movie we are going to invest in, you can see it." ”

"Infernal Affairs?"

Xu Guanwen glanced at the title of the script, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Is it a Buddhist theme?" is such a niche movie, but there is no market! ”

Lu Zonghao explained: "No, Infernal Affairs means the road to the Infernal Hell, in the Buddhist scripture story, the Infernal Hell is the most bitter of the eight hells, it is the place where the most heinous people are imprisoned, and the people in it have no possibility of liberation. ”

"The undercover theme is also average, there are many of this genre on the market at present, and Hong Kong Island movies basically have bad scenes."

Xu Guanwen arranged for Wu Yaohan to play the role of an anti-pornography policeman in the 1976 filming of "Half a Pound and Eight Taels", and while expressing his opinions, he looked through the script.

After hearing Xu Guanwen's comments from Feng Mao, his heart became more and more bottomless: "What does Mr. Xu mean, there is no development in our movie?" ”

"I'll take a look first."

Xu Guanwen threw down a sentence, then sat down and flipped through the script.

Originally, Xu Guanwen was only going to use half an hour of filming to come over to do Liu Guoyao a favor, and put forward some irrelevant opinions, which could be regarded as completing the entrustment.

The film and television industry is simple to say, but it is also difficult to say that it is also difficult, and in just half an hour, it is naturally difficult for him to put forward any constructive opinions.

From Feng Mao to see Xu Guanwen reading the script, there was no stubble, but the other party looked at it like this, it was twenty minutes, thinking that Xu Guanwen said that he still had filming waiting, he couldn't help but remind: "Mr. Xu, the half hour you said is almost time!" ”

"Don't make a noise!"

Xu Guanwen only dropped two words, and then continued to look down at the script.

The script written by Lu Zonghao is only a rough version, and it has not been improved and polished in a hurry, but for Xu Guanwen, it is still too advanced.

The plots of Hong Kong Island movies in this era are generally simple, and most of them support the whole drama with some funny scenes and the personal charm of the actors.

And the script that Lu Zonghao came up with, the story structure is huge, and the plot is constantly reversed, which is not the same thing as the current Hong Kong Island movies, which makes Xu Guanwen have a sense of cross-dimensional confusion, as a pioneer in the industry, through this script, he seems to have seen the future development direction of Hong Kong Island films.
