The next day, Jiahe.
Zou Wenhuai asked his secretary to invite He Guanchang to the office and asked him about Fang Yan’s whereabouts face to face:
“How is it? Has Fang Sheng arrived in Xiangjiang?”
“According to the latest He Guanshang answered directly.
"Which hotel is it at? Send someone to invite him immediately. No, you should represent me and make the trip yourself."
Zou Wenhuai was surprised and happy, "Let Aaron go with you, too. Let Fang Sheng see our Jiahe’s sincerity.”
< br>He Guanchang said helplessly: "I'm afraid it's too late, someone has already got there first."
"Are they Xu Ke and Shi Nansheng from New Art City?"
Zou Wenhuai has always wanted to Xu Ke's studio was under the control of Jiahe.
After all, Xu Ke and Shi Nansheng are the "Condor Heroes" of New Art City. Xu Ke concentrates on creation and is responsible for producing and directing, while Shi Nansheng is responsible for financing, distribution, publicity and other major matters. The cooperation between the two is a perfect match. If they can Joining Jiahe is simply an added advantage.
“No, it’s Mrs. Fang.”
There was a trace of fear in He Guanchang’s tone.
“What!”
Zou Wenhuai was immediately on alert, “Sixth Master and Fang Tai are also targeting him?”
"This is also reasonable."
He Guanchang explained that Shaw Brothers Pictures had Golden Harvest in front of it and New Art City in the back. Under the competition between the two powerful enemies, its strength has long been reduced.
Zou Wenhuai nodded in agreement. If Run Run Shaw had not insisted on sticking to Shaw Brothers Pictures and would not let go, Fang Yihua would have thrown away this heavy burden long ago and devoted herself to TVB, her most promising TV show. Business does not care about the life and death of Shaw Brothers movies.
“Yes, it can be seen from the ‘Wireless Five’ collective job-hopping’ that Shaw Brothers is really on its last legs.”
What He Guanchang proposed is that these two years Old news that caused a stir in Hong Kong.
Liu Dehua, Tony Leung Chiu-wai, Tang Zhenye and other "Wireless Five" who were cultivated by TVB refused to renew their contracts. The reason was not only the salary issue, but also Liu Dehua's hope to star in movies and enter the film industry, but TVB always refused to go out to accept them. During private work, a conflict broke out between the two parties.
If it were the Shaw Brothers in their previous glory days, why would the five TVB heroes not be able to film? Why can't you switch from television to movies?
In the final analysis, Shaw Brothers Pictures has been declining for a long time, and it is probably only one step away from closing down.
"Do you think that Mrs. Fang went to Fang Sheng this time to ask him to come out and help Shaw Brothers Pictures survive?"
Zou Wenhuai's eyes flashed.
Ho Guan-chang nodded at first, but then shook his head and said with a smile: "Can Shaw Brothers be saved today? I'm afraid even gods can't save it. Even if Fang Sheng is a world-famous writer and has a place in Hollywood as the Oscar-winning screenwriter, he can still only What can he do on his own? "
Zou Wenhuai said: "You make a lot of sense."
"I think Fang Tai meets Fang Sheng, not necessarily for Shaw Brothers movies. It could also be Ben "
He Guanchang reminded: "Didn't Xiangjiang Radio's "Once Upon a Time", based on Fang Sheng's novel, become a big hit? "
Zou Wenhuai said with a serious face : "Whether it's a movie or a TV series, we can't let Fang Sheng get on the Shaw Brothers ship. Otherwise, our plan to support Aaron to enter Hollywood and Golden Harvest to borrow Fang Sheng to enter Hollywood will be ruined."
< br>
"In my opinion, based on Master Liu and Mrs. Fang's careless tempers, the cooperation with Fang Sheng may not be possible."
He Guanchang is full of confidence, "Otherwise Bruce Lee would not have given up on Shaw Brothers and joined Shaw Brothers We are Jiahe "
When Bruce Lee was mentioned, Zou Wenhuai sighed, "It's a pity that he is gone. We are sparing no effort to praise Aaron now, isn't it because we hope that he can become the second Bruce Lee and lead Jiahe? Returning to Hollywood."
He Guanzhang said: "Speaking of Aaron, he is currently worried about "The Great and Powerful".
Zou Wenhuai said: "Didn't I tell him everything? , Jiahe signed a very strict contract with the director, and we have no right to change the director, so we cannot follow his whim. After all, Hollywood audiences may not like his style of kung fu comedy.”
"But he felt that this 'James' was an outsider leading an expert, and the actions he designed were not bright enough, and the scenes were not exciting enough."
He Guanchang said: "Aaron had a premonition that this "Mighty Dragon Detective" will be Failure may not be as good as the previous " "Cannonball Speed". "
Zou Wenhuai raised his hand helplessly, "You're a Qizi!"
He Guanchang said that Cheng Long hoped that his godfather would come forward to help get the money from the company. Editing rights for the Asian version of "Rogue One".
Based on the content of the original movie, I am going to find a screenwriter to fill in some details, replace some inexplicable scenes, and then re-shoot the fight scenes of the final battle, trying to make "Mighty Dragon" as good as possible. To the extent that it can be seen, it can restore some reputation and influence.
"Okay, just do as he says."
Zou Wenhuai's eyes suddenly lit up, "Wait a minute, I think it's better to ask Fang Sheng to be the screenwriter. What do you think?"
< br>"This... a job as a tinker, a man of his status may not agree to it, right?"
He Guanshang was undecided, "Besides, Fang Sheng is a scholar. I'm afraid action direction and scene design are not his strengths."
"You are totally wrong about this. Xu Ke's "Once Upon a Time" has always promoted the 'new style of martial arts' mentioned by Fang Sheng. ’, which shows that he has a unique perspective on action movies,” Zou Wenhuai said, “It’s a good time to give him a try with "The Great and Powerful"
He Guanshang said: "We still need to be careful with this kind of temptation. Don't let Fang Sheng feel that we are offending him."
"This is natural."
Zou Wenhuai warned, send People kept an eye on Fang Yan's whereabouts and notified him as soon as possible after talking to Run Run Shaw and Fang Yihua.
......At this moment, Fang Yan and Fang Yihua were sitting in the same car, and the scenery outside the car window flew by.
"I really didn't expect Fang Sheng to speak Cantonese so well."
"I often travel in and out of eastern Guangdong and Xiangjiang. Over time, I learned a little bit by myself."
The two chatted. After a while, Fang Yihua showed her kindness again: "It's hard for Fang Sheng to come to the New Territories with me." A trip to this remote country.”
“Fang Tai and Uncle Six invited me so kindly, how could I refuse?”
Fang Yan said, “I’m afraid I won’t be able to just invite me to TVB with such enthusiasm. It’s just a simple visit, something must be wrong.”
Fang Yihua did not say it directly, but wanted to wait until she met Run Run Shaw and the three of them sat down to talk slowly.
I didn’t ask any more questions in dialect and patiently arrived at Tseung Kwan O in Sai Kung. The TVB headquarters is right next to Shaw Brothers Studios.
On both sides of the gate, there were staff from the Television Broadcasting City, and TVB contracted artists could be seen vaguely in the crowd.
"Hua Hua Hua."
Amidst bursts of applause, Wang Mingquan walked up with a smile as bright as a flower, handed over flowers, and said in Mandarin:
"Teacher Fang, welcome to the TV Broadcasting City."
"Thank you."
Fang Yan recounted the old saying: "Since we parted ways at the Spring Festival Gala in 1984, we haven't seen each other for more than a year, right? Comrade Mingquan?”
When Wang Mingquan heard the word "comrade", his heart surged, "Yes, we haven't seen each other for a long time, and finally we meet again today."
Afterwards, under Fang Yihua's intentional introduction, familiar faces appeared. One by one came into Fang Yan's eyes.
Zhou Runfa, Zhao Yazhi, Tony Leung Chiu-wai, Huang Rihua, Zhang Manyu, Liu Jialing...
There are not only celebrities who have become famous, but also new stars who have been specially cultivated. Among them are also former Hong Kong sisters and students from wireless training classes.
Obviously, Fang Yihua wants to give TVB’s artists a chance to show off their reputation. What if she is chosen by Fang Yan?
The woman said hello reservedly, while the man was reserved, but more relaxed, greeted each other with a smile, said "Fang Sheng" when he opened his mouth, and "Teacher Fang" when he closed his mouth.
Fang Yan dealt with it from beginning to end, but Liu Dehua, the leader of the Wireless Five, was nowhere to be seen. As expected, the rumors were true and he had been banned by Xuezang.
Fang Yihua whispered a few words to the secretary with a livid face, then her face changed and she said with a smile:
"What do you think of Fang Sheng?"
"Nan Jun With beautiful women and talented people, and with Uncle Liu and Mrs. Fang at the helm, the TV Broadcast City’s business will surely prosper in the future.”
Fang Yan said some polite words.
“Haha, let’s take Fang Sheng’s good advice.”
Fang Yihua's frown relaxed, and she raised her hand to indicate heading towards the elevator.
When everyone came to the elevator, they heard a "ding" and a beautiful figure jumped out of it.
Fang Yan took half a step back to avoid bumping into the person coming.
“Zuxian!”
Fang Yihua ignored the scolding and apologized to him immediately.
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter."
While waving his hand, Fang Yan looked at Wang Zuxian, who was as panicked as a quail, with short hair, thick eyebrows and brown eyes, and his eyes were confused.
"I...I..."
Wang Zuxian was aggrieved and wanted to avenge herself. Someone was deliberately "trickling" her and deliberately reported the wrong arrival time.
However, Fang Yihua did not give her a chance to defend herself. When she was about to scold her, she was unexpectedly interrupted by Fang Yan's sudden voice.
"You look familiar, like the one in "The Working Emperor" directed by Xu..."
"I am 'Amy' in "The Working Emperor"!"
Wang Zuxian's watery eyes Suddenly there was light.
"It turns out that the heroine on Director Xu's poster is you. I'm glad to see you here."
Seeing Fang Yan helping to smooth things over, Fang Yihua couldn't say anything else. What, just let Wang Zuxian follow him into the elevator.
"Huh~"
Wang Zuxian breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and looked up at the man who saved herself from being scolded, looking a little lost in thought.
Is he the "Mr. Fang" who is talked about by word of mouth and discussed in the whole TVB, the whole Shaw Brothers, and even the whole Xiangjiang?
I can't help but recall the experiences and comments about him in the Baodao literary circle and the media. It was really a mix of love and hate, bitterness and jealousy.
Thinking back to the fact that I almost ran into Fang Yan’s arms just now, my cheeks were slightly red, and he didn’t seem much older than me...(End of Chapter)
