Two days passed in the blink of an eye.

In the morning, nearly a hundred people gathered at the pick-up gate of Kai Tak Airport. In addition to reporters from major newspapers and magazines, there were also a large number of movie fans gathered, holding various flower cards in their hands, eagerly waiting for the arrival of their idols.

Xu Guanwu and Liang Shuyi stood outside the crowd, watching from afar.

"Stanley, I didn't expect Taiwanese movie stars to be so popular in Hong Kong. It reminds me of Senior Ling Bo who went to Taiwan to promote ten years ago." Liang Shuyi laughed, "At that time, she was promoting "The Butterfly Lovers". It's all empty."

"The quality of Taiwanese movie stars is actually good, but it's a pity that Taiwanese movies are too heavily controlled by the government, making the filmmakers seem to be dancing in shackles." Xu Guanwu said, "If these Taiwanese filmmakers are introduced to Hong Kong, I believe there will be a lot of trouble. Brilliant result."

Liang Shuyi nodded, and then asked, "New Brilliant Cinemas will be completed a few years ago. How will we deal with the current Brilliant Cinemas? Should we withdraw the lease or merge into New Brilliant Cinemas?"

"Brilliant Theaters still has half a year of lease time until the end of the year. I plan to use this half year to transform it into a theater dedicated to showing niche films." Xu Guanwu thought for a while, "The types of movies in Hong Kong are too single now. , either kung fu movies or comedy movies. The two kinds of movies have never lacked audience appreciation, but in the long run, it is better to create new kinds of movies. Such as science fiction movies, horror movies, literary and artistic movies, etc.”

Liang Shuyi glanced at Xu Guanwu in surprise, "Stanley, then you have paid too much, the rent for a theater chain is too high, and it is difficult to make money in the early stages of showing niche films, unless a loyal audience is cultivated in the later stage." .”

"After the lease contract expires for one year, I will not rent those small theaters scattered in the New Territories, Hong Kong and Kowloon. I will only leave the four leading theaters of the original Lisheng Cinema Line and some other theaters with better decoration. In this way It can save a lot of expenses." Xu Guanwu said with a smile, "Of course, you will have to pay some compensation in the early stage, but if you can use this to cultivate some talents, it will be a great deal for the company and for Hong Kong films. Good things."

Liang Shuyi smiled, "I always feel that you are burning your own money to make the Hong Kong movie market go viral."

"Do it now before it's too late, otherwise it will be too late when the mountain is at the end of the river." Xu Guanwu sighed.

He remembered that after the decline of Hong Kong movies, many filmmakers had nothing to make and nothing to do.I watched helplessly as the entire Hong Kong, Mainland, Taiwan, and Southeast Asian markets were captured by Hollywood films.

Many movie stars who were extremely popular at an old age still have to speak broken Mandarin to go to the mainland to seek gold. There are also many movie stars who are old and homeless and rely on government relief to survive.

To Xu Guanwu, a lover of Hong Kong films, that kind of scene was really miserable.

Liang Shuyi heard the decline contained in Xu Guanwu's words, and she couldn't help but looked at him suspiciously, "Stanley, you seem to be too pessimistic. How can Hong Kong movies end in poverty? You can see that in Taiwan, in Southeast Asia, or even in Europe and the United States, our There is a market for films."

"This is indeed the case now, but if you look at it from a long-term perspective, there are still many shortcomings in Hong Kong films." Xu Guanwu explained, "The current investment in a commercial film in the United States is between 500 million US dollars, which is equivalent to more than 2000 million Hong Kong dollars. At present, the investment for a film is only a few hundred thousand Hong Kong dollars. The cost difference is really too big.”

"Of course, it doesn't mean that a high-cost film is necessarily good-looking. As long as it has a good idea, a good story, a good director, and good actors, the film will definitely be good-looking. However, the high cost of Hollywood investment is bound to attract more people. Many filmmakers will go there. When the time comes, the talents will flourish there, while the Hong Kong side will wither away, which will definitely be a disaster for Hong Kong films.”

Liang Shuyi looked at Xu Guanwu in horror, never expecting him to see so far.

Now Hong Kong movies have a good market in Hong Kong, Taiwan, Southeast Asia, Europe and the United States. The box office performance is rising day by day, and the remuneration of movie stars is also hitting new highs.

All these indicate that Hong Kong movies are taking off, but this person uttered pessimistic words, seeing that it will be difficult for Hong Kong to compete with Hollywood in the future.

"That's why you want to spend a lot of money yourself, so that Hong Kong movies can continue to prosper?" Liang Shuyi looked at Xu Guanwu in reverence, and murmured in her heart.

At this moment, I heard the crisp sound of the airport broadcast, "Flight XX from Taipei China Airlines has arrived!"

"coming!"

"coming!"

……

There was a burst of noise from the crowd who picked up the plane, and everyone stood on tiptoe and looked towards the exit with their necks raised.

"Wait for you guys to pay attention. If the fans are too excited and there are pulling, crowding, etc., immediately protect the stars and leave first, so as not to let them get hurt." Xu Guanwu ordered several martial artists he brought.

"Don't worry, Mr. Xu. With the protection of a few of us, it's like an iron wall, even if a hundred people charge it, it won't break it." A sturdy martial artist laughed.

Xu Guanwu nodded, and waited for a while, when suddenly he saw a group of people approaching, and the crowd erupted in an astonishing roar.

There were six people in that group, four of them were really golden boys and girls, eye-catching.

"Lin Qingxia, I love you!"

"Qin Xianglin, look this way!"

"Qin Han!!!!"

……

Seeing his idol walking towards him, the movie fans blocking the airport all screamed.

The sound is so loud that even standing in the distance, it feels harsh.

"These fans are really crazy." Xu Guanwu couldn't help laughing.

In his previous life, he had seen many reports of fans chasing stars crazily, but it was the first time he saw this crazy scene with his own eyes.

Those movie fans who were originally well-dressed, when they saw their idols appear, they seemed to be different people, and they went crazy.

It made people shudder and dumbfounded.

Qin Han, Qin Xianglin, Lin Qingxia, and Hu Yinmeng couldn't help being slightly moved when they saw such a battle.

"Thank you!"

"Thank you!"

"Thank you!"

……

Facing the flashing lights of the reporters, all four of them smiled and waved to reporters and fans frequently, with a personable demeanor.

boom!
They didn't know that their actions were like throwing away an unburned cigarette in a warehouse full of gunpowder.

In an instant, those excited fans stretched out their hands frantically, wanting to get in touch with their idols.

The scene of dozens or hundreds of hands waving together is quite spectacular and terrifying.

The exit was originally narrow, and Lin Qingxia and the others had to walk very carefully in order not to be scratched by excited movie fans.The smiles on the faces of the two beauties were a little stiff.

"Quickly, separate them from the fans and escort them to the car. The interview scheduled to be held at the airport has been cancelled, so tell the group of reporters to reschedule." Seeing that the scene was becoming chaotic, Xu Guanwu quickly ordered, "Give each reporter another Subsidize 100 yuan for taxi fares, and don't let them complain."
