Hong Kong Island's wealthy era

Chapter 11 Xu Guanwen

According to historical development, Golden Harvest will help Xu Guanwen establish Xu's Film Company to cooperate in making movies. This also started the journey of Xu's movies to dominate the box office in Hong Kong in the 70s.

In fact, in history, Jiahe did not pay much attention to Xu Guanwen, and the purpose of helping was more to add trouble to Shaw Brothers.Because of Bruce Lee's unexpected death, Golden Harvest's biggest hope is to find the next Bruce Lee and renew the glory of kung fu movies.

Jackie Chan, who was still unknown at the time, was spotted in several movies just because his name had the character "dragon" in it, but he was rejected.It was not until later that the transformation of kung fu comedy completely broke out and became Jiahe's signature.

Unintentionally, no one expected Xu Guanwen's comedy to be so powerful and that people in Xiangjiang liked it so much.The new Bruce Lee was not found, but a comedy king emerged.

Lei Liquan remembered that Xu Guanwen's first movie "Ghost Horse Double Star" premiered in October this year. Xu Guanwen should still be in the hesitant stage and has not yet approached Zou Huaiwen.

"Geniuses and Idiots" in 75

"Half a Category" in 76

……

A classic every year.

Time does not wait for us, so we must find Xu Guanwen immediately and take him under his command. Although Xu Guanwen is not indispensable, he is indeed very important to Lei Liquan now.Even if he has already been in contact with Zou Huaiwen, he still has to be poached.

This is related to whether Lei Liquan can make his first shot in the film industry. Only by making his first shot can he attract more other film talents.

So when Xu Guanwen was invited this time, Lei Liquan planned to come forward in person.

……

However, at this time, the four Xu brothers have not yet transformed into dragons and are worrying about the first movie.

After being rejected by Shao Yifu, Xu Guanwen also approached many people with the script, but most of them did not reply, and some refused directly.

However, Xu Guanwen still did not give up because of his worries. He firmly believed that his script and his talent would be recognized by noble people.

Xu Guanwen just came back from running around today and met with two film companies that he had some interest in. Later, several brothers also came over to ask about the situation.

"Brother, how is the situation? Is there any company that will invest?" Xu Guanjie asked first.

Xu Guanwen sighed and said: "When they heard that I wanted to direct and act myself, and also participate in investment, they just stopped talking."

After being rejected for a period of time, Xu Guanwen became more determined to open a film company.

"Actually, I still want to ask Golden Harvest. They are the only film company that can compete with Shaw Brothers. And they have their own theater chain, so you don't have to worry about the screening of movies."

"But brother, you have gone to Jiahe several times, and Jiahe still hasn't given a clear reply." Xu Guanying continued.

"Actually, there is a head of the production department in Jiahe who promised me to discuss it in detail the day after tomorrow."

"That's great, brother, I finally have a clear response."

"I still don't know what they said specifically, so don't get too happy too early."

Everyone was obviously a little excited when they heard the news, and the atmosphere was not that dull.

At this moment, Xu Guanwen's phone suddenly rang.

After Xu Guanwen came back after answering the phone, his face was a little surprised and a little happy.

……

The next day, Xu Guanwen got up early.

He found his latest suit from the closet and ironed it to make it look wrinkle-free. He took another look in the mirror before taking his bag and going out.Logically speaking, Xu Guanwen had not known Lei Liquan before. Although he knew that Lei Liquan was the eldest son of the Lei family, he had not had any interaction with him before.

Therefore, Xu Guanwen was a little nervous.

When I arrived at the Peninsula Hotel, I saw Lei Liquan sitting in a booth reading a newspaper.

This made Xu Guanwen a little flattered. He thought he had arrived early enough, but he didn't expect Lei Liquan to arrive first.

Xu Guanwen walked up quickly and said, "Hello Lei Sheng, I am Xu Guanwen. I didn't expect you to arrive so early."

Hearing the sound, Lei Liquan put down the newspaper, saw the person coming and said with a smile: "Sheng Xu is here early. I am really looking forward to meeting Xu Sheng today, so I came here early."

Since you want to be courteous to the corporal, you should make a good gesture and let others know that now is not the time to be modest.

In his previous life, Lei Liquan had two favorite celebrities in Hong Kong. One was Xu Guanwen in front of him, and the other was Zhou Xingxing.

The main thing is that watching their movies always makes people laugh and forget their worries, and they are really something that you never get tired of watching, and you still enjoy them every time.

Like it, I like it, now I have to deal with this person.

Xu Guanwen is only in his early thirties this year. He looks a bit elegant, his face is a bit serious, and he wears a pair of large-framed glasses. He is at the peak of his youth and creativity.

Xu Guanwen and Xu Zheng are somewhat similar, but the difference is that Xu Guanwen focuses more on action and plot design, while Xu Zheng focuses more on tone and demeanor.But being able to be called a "cold-faced smiler" does have its own uniqueness.

"Xu Sheng, to be honest, I used to like watching your TVB programs, but later I started to watch less of them because I went to school."

"I also really like watching the movie "Warlord" that you played in. I had a share in the box office of more than 300 million yuan."

The fastest way to close the distance between people is to compliment them where they are most proud.

Sure enough, after listening to Lei Liquan's words, Xu Guanwen smiled even more unconsciously and said, "Thank you in advance to Lei Sheng for your support."

Lei Liquan did not chat for too long and went directly to the topic and asked: "I heard that Xu Sheng wrote a script and has been looking for someone to cooperate. I wonder what the situation is like now?"

When Xu Guanwen heard this, he felt happy. It seemed that his guess was right. The young master really came for him, but he didn't show it on his face. He said with a grimace:
"Not yet. I have been rejected by many companies, but I have an appointment with a production director from Jiahe tomorrow to discuss it. I don't know if there is any hope."

Now is not the time to wait for a price. After finally encountering a big water pipe, Xu Guanwen will not pretend to be reserved.

Hearing Xu Guanwen's words, Lei Liquan was secretly happy, and then said firmly:
"Xu Sheng doesn't have to go to Jiahe anymore. I'll invest in your script."

"Leisheng, don't make fun of a little guy like me."

"I'm not kidding. I believe that with Xu Sheng's talent, the movies he makes will definitely not be worse than Warlords."

It was impossible for Xu Guanwen not to be moved after hearing this, but he still wanted to make it clear: "Lei Sheng, if you want to invest, I will definitely welcome it, but I want to direct and star in this drama."

"I'm sure, I can't direct it." Lei Liquan took a sip of coffee and continued: "I recently established a theater chain and film distribution company consisting of 18 theaters, and I am preparing to get a share of the film industry."

Xu Guanwen was a little stunned when he heard the news. He didn't expect that the young man he met was so generous. He was worthy of coming from a big family. As soon as he made a move, he would get different reactions and be famous.

"So the film company under my name wants to invest 100 million in Xu Sheng to set up a joint venture film company."
