Xu Guanwen read Lu Zonghao's script and spent an hour, far exceeding the time he expected to stay here.

Until he turned the script to the last page, Xu Guanwen still had a feeling of unfinished, looked at Lu Zonghao and asked, "Young man, who created this script, can you let me meet him?" ”

"Mr. Xu, I'm sorry, this is our secret."

Lu Zonghao shook his head: "The screenwriter of this movie is a very talented rookie screenwriter I accidentally discovered, and I don't want him to be exposed to the public eye too early and become the object of competition before the company has enough ability to retain him." ”

"That's right, the talent who can write this kind of script must be unlimited in the future, and it really needs to be cherished."

Xu Guanwen gave a high evaluation of this drama, and then continued: "Mr. Cong, Mr. Lu, I still have a reluctant request, I hope the two of you can give me a face." ”

When Feng Mao heard Xu Guanwen say this, he hurriedly smiled and said: "Mr. Xu, you are a senior in the industry, just say anything directly, why be so polite to us." ”

"Okay, then I'll be straight to the point."

Xu Guanwen put down the script in his hand: "I hope to play the role of Chen Jianren in this movie, and the salary is only one-third of the quotation, how about it?" ”

"Would you like to be part of our film?"

Seeing from Feng Mao that Xu Guanwen loved this script so much, he couldn't help but show an excited expression.

As a well-known actor in the circle, the other party has extraordinary influence on Hong Kong Island, and Xu Guanwen's three words are a guarantee for the box office, the most important thing is that if they get into the relationship with Xu Guanwen when they enter the industry, then the road will definitely be much easier in the future.

Liu Guoyao saw that Xu Guanwen offered to participate in the performance, and also interjected and asked: "Guanwen, what do you think of this script?" ”

"It may not be popular, but it must be a good book."

Xu Guanwen said straight to the point: "There is a big gap between the genre of this movie and the mainstream in the current market, and it is still unknown whether it has an audience, but it is precisely because of its novel narrative and theme that it is likely to trigger a revolution in film history!" Let's put it this way, this movie may not make much money, but it will definitely be listed as a textbook existence in the future! It's too risky for you to invest on your own, but with me participating, this risk can be greatly reduced, and I can even sign a gambling agreement with you, as long as you agree to let me participate, if the final movie does not recover the cost, I will make up the difference! ”

When Feng Mao heard Xu Guanwen say this, his eyes suddenly lit up, and the other party was willing to make this guarantee, which not only allowed them to get a leading actor at a low price, but also avoided the risk of losing money.

Just when he was about to say something, Lu Zonghao on the side said: "Mr. Xu, I'm sorry I can't agree to your conditions, the actors of this movie, we have already decided." ”

"Making a movie is a thing full of changes, and if the candidate is determined, it can be changed!"

Xu Guanwen disagreed: "The liquidated damages for your replacement are up to me, and I will appear with zero pay, how about it?" ”

Lu Zonghao still didn't let go: "Mr. Xu, I'm really sorry. ”

Xu Guanwen saw Lu Zonghao's resolute attitude, and said a little unwillingly: "If you can't let me participate, can you let me direct?" I can help you introduce Mr. Zou of Jiahe Film Company to attract a large amount of investment for you, and ensure that you can make money before the film starts. ”

Liu Guoyao saw that Lu Zonghao had already rejected Xu Guanwen once, and he was afraid that the other party would not be able to get off the stage, so he said to Congfeng Mao: "Xiaomao, Mr. Xu is my friend, and his character is trustworthy. ”

Feng Mao understood what Liu Guoyao meant, and set his eyes on Lu Zonghao: "Ah Hao, Mr. Xu has directed many famous works, which is the guarantee of word-of-mouth and box office, you see our ......"

"Mr. Xu, I have no doubts about your acting and directing ability, but I'm sorry I still can't agree to this condition."

Lu Zonghao shook his head: "I refuse to show you up because your age and identity as a comedy master are not suitable for appearing in this movie, you are known as a cold-faced laugher, and you have the ability to make the audience laugh out loud without speaking, and it is too easy for the audience to make the audience play when this kind of undercover drama appears!" As for the director's thing, I believe in your ability, and the reason why I can't cooperate is because of your identity. ”

Xu Guanwen was a little puzzled: "What's wrong with my identity?" ”

"You're from Genho."

Lu Zonghao said bluntly: "You also know that Xiaomao and I set up a film company just to enter this circle, and we chose this drama to make our own company's reputation, so our entire team must all use people from our own company, not Jiahe Company to make wedding dresses!" You yourself are the pillar of Jiahe films, if you are allowed to participate in or direct, our light will be completely covered by Jiahe. ”

"Boy, you're not in business."

Xu Guanwen listened to Lu Zonghao's answer and looked at him seriously: "Jiahe Company is a behemoth in the industry, you can cooperate with Jiahe in the first play, your future is unlimited, if you can get the appreciation of Mr. Zou, Mr. He and others, you may even join Jiahe Company, do you know how many resources can be exchanged for you by giving up this drama?" ”

"Hong Kong Island can have the first Jiahe, there will be the second, the third, we choose to start a business, not to send people under the fence, but to prepare to fight with Jiahe and Shaw Brothers and other old companies."

Lu Zonghao was unmoved by what Xu Guanwen said: "This film must be produced by our company, and I hope Mr. Xu will forgive me." ”

Xu Guanwen saw Lu Zonghao's tough attitude, and knocked on the script on the table with his hand: "Your book, I've read it all once, and if you reject me, aren't you afraid that I will copy it?" ”

Lu Zonghao responded calmly: "I'm not afraid!" Because your three words Xu Guanwen are golden signboards, and today's dinner, with Director Liu as the middleman, since the two are friends, I believe you will not make it difficult for him. ”

Xu Guanwen smiled and said with some regret: "Since you value this script so much, then I haven't said anything before, but I want to remind you that Jiahe has been established for ten years, and has single-handedly brought out superstars such as Bruce Lee and Hong Jinbao, and has close cooperation with Hollywood, I don't know if you have the qualifications to fight in the ring with Jiahe, but I hope that before you have this qualification, you will not be drowned in the torrent of the times." ”
