The king of ghost horse comedy

Chapter 259 New Sony Products

Huang Baiming also seemed to like talking with people. After hearing Xu Guanwu's words, he nodded immediately. While walking to the TVB broadcasting building, he introduced Xu Guanwu's grievances and gossips about the grievances and grievances between Xu Brothers and Shaw Brothers.

Xu Guanwu nodded as he listened, and from time to time echoed along, which made Huang Baiming speak more vigorously.

"So, Mr. Huang is going to work at Xu Brothers' company soon? Oh, congratulations!" Xu Guanwu finally tried his best to hold back his laughter, and congratulated with fists in his hands.

"Thank you, thank you! By the way, I have to hand in my resignation report in a hurry. Let's stop here today. We will have a chance to drink tea and chat some other day." Huang Baiming said with a smile.

Xu Guanwu nodded hurriedly, "Oh, I'm sorry to delay your business. Please go, please go, we can talk another day."

Seeing Huang Baiming rushing to hand in his resignation report, Xu Guanwu held onto the stairs and couldn't help laughing.

"Oh, I burst into tears. Today's TVB is really not in vain." Xu Guanwu couldn't help laughing.

"Mr. Xu, are you okay?" At this moment, someone next to him asked with concern.

Hearing the familiar voice, Xu Guanwu turned his head to look, but saw Wang Rixiang, who had met once before, standing in front of him.

"Huh?! Why are you here?" Xu Guanwu asked in surprise.

"I'm here to send TVB the script of the short play "Happy Tonight"." Wang Rixiang replied honestly.

"You know how to write scripts?!" Xu Guanwu asked curiously.

"Yeah, last year I followed Mr. Xu Guanwen to film "Deed of Sale", and Mr. Xu taught me a lot of joke writing skills." Wang Rixiang replied, "Later, my dad took me to TVB and asked me to write jokes for "Happy Tonight" and skits."

"Who is your father?" The more Xu Guanwu heard it, the more he felt that something was wrong, and he couldn't help asking curiously.

"My father is Wang Tianlin, the director of TVB." Wang Rixiang said with a smile.

Xu Guanwu almost sat down on the ground. He had already seen that the little fat man looked a bit like Wang Jing, but at that time he said that his name was Wang Rixiang, which made Xu Guanwu think that he had admitted the wrong person.Now the truth finally came to light. It turned out that he was the Fat Mantis, one of the Five Wonders of the Central Plains, the King of Northern Colors.

"Mr. Xu, are you okay?" Seeing Xu Guanwu's expression changed drastically, Wang Jing couldn't help asking with concern.

"It's okay, it's okay." Xu Guanwu smiled, thinking that it was such a coincidence that he met two major screenwriting geniuses in Hong Kong one after another in just a few minutes.

"Could it be that I, Wen Qu Xing, took the headshot today?!" Xu Guanwu prayed silently, and then asked in doubt, "You are the son of the director Wang Tianlin, so why were you still working on the production team?"

Hearing Xu Guanwu's question, Wang Jing couldn't help but look a little embarrassed, hesitated for a while and smiled, "It's because I used the summer vacation to do odd jobs to exercise my hands-on ability, so I went to the film crew to do drama management."

"Oh, then you really work hard." Xu Guanwu nodded and asked again, "How much money can you make writing this short joke?"

"If a joke is used, it costs 80 yuan, and a short play costs 1000 yuan." Wang Jing introduced, "Now I can earn more than [-] yuan a month."

"Oh." Xu Guanwu nodded, "Why don't you just go back to work at Xu's and work as a screenwriter in the advanced screenwriting department. Now the company's basic salary for screenwriters is 400 yuan per month, and you can get a job in Hong Kong if you write a script and make a movie." One percent of the box office is a bonus."

Wang Jing's eyes lit up when she heard this, but she shook her head in the end, "Mr. Xu, I'm still a working student, and I don't have much time to spend on the set every day. So let's talk about it after I graduate."

Hearing what he said, Xu Guanwu couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.However, he also knows that the screenwriter needs to follow the crew so that he can provide advice to the director, and he can modify the script on the spot if necessary.Unlike Xu Guanwu, who threw out the script and left it alone.There are only a few people in Hong Kong who have this kind of treatment.

"Since this is the case, then you can write some scripts when you have time. If they are good, the company will spend money to buy them, and you won't suffer for nothing." Xu Guanwu nodded and said, "You have also done scripts in the company before. I'm an old man in the company, so I won't say much about it."

"I know Mr. Xu, thank you Mr. Xu." Wang Jing nodded, looking very grateful.

"Well, then I won't delay you, go do your business." Xu Guanwu smiled and said.

……

After leaving Wang Jing, Xu Guanwu went up to the indoor studio, but he searched all three floors, but couldn't find the crew of "Jianghu Boy". After inquiring, it turned out that he went to Fei'e Mountain to shoot the location.

Xu Guanwu was not disappointed after hearing this, and now he rushed to Fei'e Mountain to visit the class. How can he find it in such a big park? !Just stomped his feet and went home fortunately.

After eating, Xu Guanwu was sitting in the living room watching TV, when suddenly an advertisement appeared on the screen, which attracted his attention.

"Huh?! Sony's new video recorder is wow." Xu Guanwu couldn't help having an idea.He knows that the video tape market is actually very profitable, especially in Europe and the United States, and video tapes are still produced until the new century.The market capitalization of the well-known video chain rental stores Blockade, Netflix, etc. exceeds [-] billion U.S. dollars, and the annual turnover is also as high as hundreds of millions of U.S. dollars.

Video tapes did not flourish in the East Asian market for many years, but the laser disc technology that appeared later was popular because of karaoke discs, and then expanded to the field of video discs.

"Do you want to set up a video tape production and distribution company?" Xu Guanwu pinched his chin and pondered, "There is no reason to wait for someone to set it up and let others earn the money."

On the TV, the price of a new Sony video recorder is 1000 Hong Kong dollars, equivalent to about [-] U.S. dollars. In Hong Kong, where the monthly salary was generally only [-] yuan at that time, the price of a video recorder was equivalent to four months’ wages. It's expensive.

But for managers of foreign firms with a monthly income of tens of thousands, a video recorder priced at [-] Hong Kong dollars may not be considered expensive, so there should still be a good market.

Xu Guanwu was thinking about the feasibility of setting up a video tape production and distribution company. At this moment, the car outside the door slowly drove into the garage, and Zhao Yazhi got out of the car.

Looking at the time indicated on the watch, it was already past nine o'clock in the evening, and Zhao Yazhi couldn't help feeling a little worried.

When she had just finished work and returned to the TV station, a colleague had already told her that Xu Guanwu had just come to visit the set.I searched around the building but saw no one, and left with a dark face.

Zhao Yazhi knew that her husband didn't like going out and filming by herself, so even though she got his consent to act in "Jianghu Boy", she also promised her husband that she would not come home too late.

However, the plan could not keep up with the changes. Originally, the work could be finished at 08 o'clock, but because of the negligence of the staff, the work was not finished until 30:[-].

Zhao Yazhi couldn't help feeling a little apprehensive at the thought of not knowing what her husband was going to nag about later.

Opening the door on tiptoe, Zhao Yazhi poked her head in like a little mouse, and glanced at the living room first, it would be best if her husband wasn't there.

The truth turned out to be very cruel. Xu Guanwu was sitting on the sofa in the living room, which made Zhao Yazhi unavoidably startled.

"Oh, I'm watching TV, so I shouldn't be in a bad mood." Zhao Yazhi comforted herself, and then walked over quietly, wanting to see her husband's expression first.

Three steps away, two steps away, one step away...Zhao Yazhi walked into her husband carefully, with a cold sweat in her heart.

But when he was only a few steps away, Xu Guanwu still didn't move at all, he didn't seem to hear any footsteps at all, and he didn't know that someone was coming behind him.

Zhao Yazhi couldn't help muttering in her heart, "Did my husband hear it, or didn't he hear it?! Did he hear it and pretend he didn't hear it? Or did he really not hear it? It's impossible not to hear it, I'll walk Is it really so quiet?! Could it be that he is deliberately pretending not to hear? Is he still angry with me, so he deliberately ignores me?"

Zhao Yazhi's little head was spinning rapidly, thinking about too many possibilities, the more she thought about it, the more she felt that Xu Guanwu was deliberately ignoring her, which made Zhao Yazhi feel very hurt.

snort!She snorted and deliberately stepped harder, click, click, click!The high-heeled shoes made a crisp sound when they stepped on the wooden floor.

But Xu Guanwu still didn't look back, which made Zhao Yazhi more and more angry, and rushed to the front, leaned down and approached Xu Guanwu, wanting to ask how long he was going to pretend.

"Ah!!!!!!" Xu Guanwu was thinking about whether to enter the video market now, when suddenly a beautiful head appeared in front of him, which shocked him so much that he bounced off the sofa.

boom!Xu Guanwu's head collided with Zhao Yazhi's, and it happened that they hit the nose, and a sore and painful feeling rushed over.

Wow!Tears burst out in pain!

Zhao Yazhi burst into tears in the same pain, covering her nose and being speechless.

"Oh! It's killing me." Xu Guanwu said while covering his nose, "Honey, what are you doing, people scare people to death, do you know that?"

"You still said, people just want to play a joke on you, who told you to react so much? I was shocked too, ah! The nose is so sore!" Zhao Yazhi also covered her nose and said, "It hurts. It’s so bad, your nose won’t be knocked down by you, if that’s the case, I can’t spare you.”

"It's not that serious. The effects of force are mutual. If your nose is knocked down, then mine won't be healed either." Xu Guanwu was also sore and uncomfortable, with tears streaming down his face.

"You men have rough skin and thick flesh, why are you just like us, oh, it's so uncomfortable!" Zhao Yazhi retorted.

"Don't talk if you feel uncomfortable. I'll get you some ice packs and you'll be fine." Xu Guanwu said, walked to the refrigerator, put a few pieces of ice in a plastic bag, and threw a bag to his wife to keep. for myself.

Xu Guanwu felt a lot better after applying the icy ice, "Don't be so reckless next time, you scared me."

"What were you thinking just now, so preoccupied?" Zhao Yazhi sat on the sofa with her head raised in a disfigured manner, and directly covered her face with an ice pack.

"I was thinking about doing business, and I tell you I don't understand." Xu Guanwu sat down and said, "Why did the filming take so late this time, I should talk to your director later."

"It's fast enough," Zhao Yazhi waved her hand, "The staff in the lighting team didn't bring light bulbs, so they stopped shooting for a while."

Xu Guanwu nodded, "By the way, there hasn't been any news in your TV station recently, right?"

"What's the news?" Zhao Yazhi asked, "Oh, by the way, there is a rumor that Sixth Uncle Shao is going to increase his shareholding and intends to unite Shao Brothers with TVB."

"Oh?!" Xu Guanwu couldn't help being taken aback. He knew that Boss Shao would close Shaw Studios in the 80s, dismiss most of the employees, and focus on the film business, but he didn't expect it to start now.

After thinking about it for a while, Xu Guanwu immediately understood why Boss Shao did this.In the 80s, he shifted his career focus to TVB because he was impacted by New Art City and Golden Harvest.

Although there is no New Art City in the 70s, Golden Harvest has lost the Xu Brothers and Seven Little Fortunes, and its momentum is not as good as in the previous life, but a Xu Brothers company can match the integration of Golden Harvest and New Art City, and the impact on Shaw is even greater. Big.

It's no wonder that Sixth Uncle Shao made arrangements ahead of time and shifted his career focus to TVB.It is only now that I think of increasing my shareholding, which is too slow to react.
