After instructing Mei Yanfang, Xia Tian went to find Xu Guanwen.

"Oh, Mr. Xia!" Xu Guanwen also smiled and said hello when he saw Xia Tian.

"Mr. Xu." Xia Tian smiled, "How is this movie done? When will it be finished?"

"Why, Mr. Xia can't wait?" Xu Guanwen was stunned and then smiled.

Xia Tian nodded, "Since a Japanese film company is coming, your film is the main feature. I think it is best to finish the film as soon as possible so that the Japanese film company can see the finished film, so that they will have a higher chance of buying it."

"So that's it. Mr. Xia is so amazing. You can even do it in the Japanese market." Xu Guanwen smiled in surprise.

The Japanese market has always been conservative and closed. Except for Hollywood movies in the United States, it is difficult for other countries to open up the Japanese market. When Shaw Yifu and Japan's Songzhu Film had so many cooperations, they failed to successfully promote Shaw Brothers movies to Japan, which shows how difficult it is.

Unexpectedly, Xia Tian is young and has such ability, which is really worthy of admiration.

"I dare not take it, I dare not take it." Xia Tian waved his hand and said, "Then Mr. Xu, can I finish this movie within three days?"

"Oh, this is difficult." Xu Guanwen frowned.

He has never been a high-yield director. In his peak 1970s, he only made a movie a year, and even had a year of opening a window. Although most of the movie "Detective Chocolate" has been filmed, the remaining scenes will never be finished in a week. If you have higher requirements, you may not be able to do it for another half a month.

"Mr. Xia, I'll tell you that it will take at least one week to finish the film. And I don't agree with sacrificing the quality of the movie because of the rush," Xu Guanwen said with a serious expression.

He has always had very high requirements for movies. If the movie cannot satisfy the audience, he would rather not shoot them. Therefore, he is disgusted with the behavior of sacrificing the quality of the movie in order to catch up with the schedule. He believes that it is irresponsible to the audience and irresponsible to himself.

"Mr. Xu, please rest assured. I have no intention of filming in a hurry to get through the schedule, which will damage the quality of the movie." Xia Tian waved his hand and said, "Let's do this, you can help me cut a five-minute essence from the existing materials, okay?"

"The essence of five minutes?" Xu Guanwen blinked, not quite understanding the meaning of Xia Tian.

"It is to select the best paragraphs that you find funny, cut out the best shots for a few minutes, then put them together and show them to the film dealer." Xia Tian briefly introduced, "In this way, I can also give an explanation to the film dealer."

"I understand what you mean." Xu Guanwen's eyes lit up and said, "Mr. Xia, this idea is really good. The five-minute shots are all exciting clips, which the film dealer saw. Maybe he thought the whole drama was so exciting."

Xia Tian looked at Xu Guanwen in surprise. Unexpectedly, he could tell the true meaning of the trailer just after hearing this idea. He is truly a genius in the film industry!!

"Mr. Xu is so smart!" He exclaimed with conscience.

"Mr. Xia is still smart. I can't think of such a good idea myself." Xu Guanwen also said sincerely.

If Xia Tian hadn't mentioned it to him, he would have really not come up with such an idea, which could have been called a genius idea. I didn't expect that Xia Tian had such a mind at a young age, which was really admirable.

"I'll leave this essence clip to me, and I'll make sure to cut it to your satisfaction." Xu Guanwen said with a smile.

"Then I'll be thankful for Mr. Xu." Xia Tian nodded and smiled, "Since that's the case, I won't bother you and say goodbye."

...

"Please wait a moment, Mr. Xia." Xia Tian turned around and was about to leave, but Xu Guanwen suddenly spoke.

"Is there anything else, Mr. Xu?" Xia Tian turned around in confusion and asked.

"I think Amei is a very good actor, very spiritual and hardworking. Mr. Xia might as well consider giving her more opportunities." Xu Guanwen looked at Mei Yanfang from afar and recommended to Xia Tian.

Xia Tian smiled.

Of course he knew that Mei Yanfang was a good actor and had won the Best Actress Awards in the Golden Horse Awards and the Golden Horse Awards. His acting skills were obvious to all. Of course, he was willing to give her more opportunities and cooperate with her more. This actually does not need Xu Guanwen to remind him.

"I understand, Mr. Xu. Miss Mei has outstanding acting skills, hardworking and hardworking, and is also a popular singer, with many fans and a box office appeal. I am willing to work with her more." He smiled and nodded.

"I mean, why don't you consider signing her?" Xu Guanwen smiled.

Xia Tian was stunned, "Didn't she sign Huaxing Records?"

"That was just a record contract. Her movie contract was signed to Shaw Brothers, but Shaw Brothers has closed, so Amei's movie contract has not yet found her next home." Xu Guanwen said again, "She complained to me a few days ago that she wanted to develop in the film industry, but she didn't have any chance. If Mr. Xia is interested, he might as well sign her."

To be honest, if Xu's Film Academy hadn't been able to withstand this great Bodhisattva, Xu Guanwen would have wanted to sign Mei Yanfang long ago. However, Xu's film could not make a movie a year, so don't delay the youth of other girls.

"Of course it's OK." Xia Tian agreed immediately after hearing Xu Guanwen's suggestion.

Mei Yeon-fang has a wide range of acting careers, can perform both tragic comedies, and her acting skills are also very good. She just won the Best Supporting Actress Award this year. In addition, she has also achieved very high achievements in the music industry and has a large number of fans, which also makes her very box office appeal.

As far as Xia Tian knows, Mei Yanfang is the first actress to pay over one million in Hong Kong actresses. She is also known as "Xia Yu Fanghong" together with Lin Qingxia, Zhang Manyu and Chung Chuhong, and is the four most popular actresses in the Hong Kong film industry. In order to win over her, Jiahe even asked He Guanchang to accept her as her goddaughter and named her "He Jianan".

If a female star with great potential is now able to sign into the company, Xia Tian will of course be extremely happy.

"Okay, then I'll go and tell her." Seeing that Xia Tian agreed, Xu Guanwen walked to report the good news to Mei Yanfang.

...

Mei Yanfang was overjoyed when she learned that Xia Tian was willing to sign her.

She likes acting very much, but she has never had a good chance.

The previous "Seven Days of Love in the Mistake", "Fate", etc. were just guest appearances, which made her feel that she was not satisfied.

Only this movie "Detective Chocolate" finally made her taste the heroine, which really made her very happy.

Especially this time she worked with the comedy king Xu Guanwen. She really learned a lot from this senior and became more and more fond of acting.

But now Shaw Brothers is closed, and she wants to continue filming, but her future is uncertain. In distress, she asked her senior Xu Guanwen for advice. She was told that if she wanted to survive in this industry for a long time and make a name for herself, she had to choose a big tree to rely on, otherwise the road would only become narrower and narrower, and the people would only become lower and lower.

Xu Guanwen also gave Cheng Long an example to Mei Yanfang, "He is with Luo Wei, and his monthly salary is not even 5,000 yuan. After he switched to Jiahe, with the protection of this big tree, he not only was able to become an international champion, but also received a salary of 5 million Hong Kong dollars, which was much higher than before."

After listening to it, Mei Yanfang also felt that Xu Guanwen was right. As the saying goes, it is good to lean on a big tree to enjoy the cool air. She sang in a nightclub, and she also knew that singing in a big nightclub was much more reliable than singing in a small karaoke bar. She would not be owed to pay or harassed by customers.

Since we are looking for big trees, we have to mention the four major film companies in Hong Kong now - Jiahe, Xinyi City, Tianxia and Debao.

These four film companies have their own theater chains, so they have the greatest potential. Among them, Jiahe has a strong wealth and strong internal strength; Xinyi City has a good reputation and a strong popularity; although Tianxia Film is a junior, it has come from behind; Debao Film seems to be a bit insufficient compared to the top three. However, with the funding provided by Pan Disheng and theater chains in hand, its potential should not be underestimated.

Mei Yanfang felt that it was a blessing for her to join any of these four companies, but what she liked the most was Xia Tianxia Film.

Because she felt that Jiahe didn't seem to pay much attention to cultivating her own actresses. Even if Cheng Long, Hong Jingbao and Yuan Biao made movies, such a good opportunity to show their faces was just to ask actresses to deal with them from outside. For example, "Police Story" used TVB's little actress Zhang Manyu; "Dragon's Heart" used Taiwanese actress Zhu Baoyi; "The Strategy of the Five Blessings" used Shaw Brothers actress Chung Chuhong; "The Legend of Shushan" used Li Saifeng... None of them belonged to Jiahe's own actresses.

Mei Yanfang was worried that even if she went to Jiahe, she might not be reused.

The environment of Xinyi City is the opposite of Jiahe. It is not that there are no actresses, but that there are too many actresses. Not to mention anything else, there are several people in the Happy Girls group, who are young and beautiful. Compared with those little girls, they have become old women. After going there, how can they fight with those beautiful girls!

As for Debao, it is too boring. Although it has great potential, it always has no movement, making it difficult to expect it.

In comparison, although Tianxia Pictures has only been established for half a year, it has become famous and has since come from behind. Its current momentum is no less than that of Xinyi City, catching up with Jiahe. Moreover, it has frequent actions, and in the first half of the year, it has invested in shooting five movies. In comparison, Debao has not even invested in a single movie.

In addition, the fact that World Film has just been founded, there are not many actors under its umbrella, especially actresses. After going over and over again, there are only three actresses, Wang Qixian, Hu Huizhong and Chung Chuhong. After going there, it just happened to be reused.

"Miss Mei, Mr. Xu must have told you just now. Then are you willing to come to our Tianxia Pictures?" Xia Tian asked with a smile.

"I do." Mei Yanfang nodded with a smile.
