The king of ghost horse comedy

Chapter 133 Three Kingdoms War

"Brother Long, you still ask why, I can only earn 5000 yuan for sending you to Nanyang. But I can get 10 yuan for sending you to Mr. Xu. If you were me, how would you choose?" Ah Can sneered road.

"Damn it, I won't spare you. I swear, you will be the first one to kill me after I come out." Huang Jinkai struggled desperately and shouted.

"Kill me?! Brother Long, you are no longer the person in charge of Jordan District. You don't have a brother now. Why do you kill me? If it wasn't for the fact that you still have some money with you these few months, I Will you take me in?" Ah Can sneered, "When you were beautiful, you didn't even bother to look at me."

"You betrayed me, I won't let you go, I won't let you go!" Huang Jinkai was so angry that he passed out immediately, and after being woken up by being splashed with water, he could only mutter these two sentences.

"Mr. Xu, he seems to be crazy with phlegm." Chen Huimin said in surprise.

"It doesn't matter if you're crazy, but you're going to suffer anyway." Xu Guanwu muttered, wrote a check for 10 yuan and handed it to A Can, "You know what to do about what happened today."

"Mr. Xu, don't worry, I've been fishing in the sea for the past few days, and I don't know anything." A Can took the check, kissed it hard, and said, showing his rotten yellow teeth.

Xu Guanwu sneered, and left the beach with a large group of people.

……

In the early morning of that day, Huang Jinkai was handed over to the police. Although he was unconscious when the handover was made, the police wisely did not ask for details.Moreover, Xu Guanwu can also get a good citizen award from the Commissioner of Police for his performance this time.

Huang Jinkai was arrested and imprisoned, which solved Xu Guanwu's concern. At this time, the two directors who received the first batch of subsidies from Asian Rising Star Directors, Zhang Guoming and Zhang Jian, also submitted their films to Xu Brothers Company. Made a report.

The Asian Rising Star Director Project was a condition that Xu Guanwu reached with the chairman of Kowloon Bus, Lei Juekun, in order to rent the four leading theaters of Lai Sheng.

Every year, part of the company's profits will be allocated to support the development of niche films in Hong Kong.Zhang Jian and Zhang Guoming are the first batch of funded directors.

Because the Asian Rising Star Director Program is only in its infancy, there is no specific long-term development plan yet, and he lacks certain experience in finding new directors and approving film projects, so Xu Guanwu is now crossing the river by feeling the stones.

The scripts submitted by Zhang Guoming and Zhang Jian this time all reflect social realities.The movie Zhang Guoming wants to make is called "A Ming".

The script tells the story of a boy named Ah Ming, how he gradually degenerated from a simple and kind student to a street hooligan, and was hacked to death with a knife when he was fighting with others. It points directly at the dark side of Hong Kong society. Justice is not manifest, and corruption is rampant.

Zhang Jian wanted to focus the camera on the women who had lost their way, telling about their joys and sorrows, and their lives, but the movie was named "Queen of Temple Street".

After Xu Guanwu read the two scripts, he suddenly couldn't help but feel a sense of emotion, who said that Hong Kong filmmakers can only make shitty comedies and ping-pong-pong kung fu movies?
The scripts of "Amin" and "Queen of Temple Street" are very good, with unique perspectives, novel themes and rigorous stories.But maybe it is too small, so no one dares to invest.

But Xu Guanwu has already seen that this "Amin" already has the shadow of the gangster movies of later generations; while the "Queen of Temple Street" is different from the popular romantic movies now, but more similar to the third-class movies of later generations.

For these two films, Xu Guanwu strongly recommends them, and persuades his eldest brother Xu Guanwen, third brother Xu Guanying and fourth brother Xu Guanjie to give the two films the highest amount of authority. The two film directors are the highest, and they can apply for a filming fund of 60 Hong Kong dollars. .

This is the first step for the Xu Brothers Company to invest in niche films, and it feels like buying horse bones with a lot of money.

After Zhang Guoming and Zhang Jian received the initial investment of three hundred thousand Hong Kong dollars, they were a little surprised and speechless.In their opinion, if they can apply for [-] Hong Kong dollars, they will be satisfied.

But if they had an extra [-], their funds would be more sufficient, they could have more choices in actors, shoot more films, and shoot larger scenes.

When Zhang Guoming and Zhang Jian set up film crews and were preparing to shoot their new films, the pace of the new year was gradually approaching.

The Chinese New Year atmosphere in the urban area of ​​Hong Kong is getting stronger, making people feel that the air is filled with happiness.

On the 27th of the twelfth lunar month, the newly renovated Brilliant Cinemas officially opened for business.

The Xu brothers, celebrities and popular movie stars cut the ribbon for the opening of the new theater together.

The atmosphere was warm. There were not only traditional lion dance performances, but also Xu Xiaofeng, Wenna Band, etc. performed for everyone.

On the same day, the Xu Brothers' latest masterpiece "Genius and Idiot" was released together with Cheng Long's new kung fu work "Laughing Boxing Strange Moves".

Because several reports have been published in the "Daily Daily" in advance, and there are window TVs showing movie clips, which have already mobilized the appetite of the citizens.

The two movies have not yet been released, and the movie tickets have already been booked, showing a box office boom.

On the same day, all 20 theaters of Brilliant Cinemas lit up the red lights of "full house", which shocked the Hong Kong entertainment industry.In Hong Kong, there is no theater line that can reach full capacity. Brilliant Cinema Line has already set a record on the first day of its opening.

The newly renovated Brilliant Cinemas also let Hong Kong people see the advanced multiplex cinemas.

There are several halls in one theater, showing different movies at the same time. If you want to watch comedies, there are comedies.

Facing the aggressive Xu Brothers, Shaw Brothers and Jiahe also moved out their big productions to fight the Xu Brothers.

Shaw Brothers launched the horror masterpiece "Seven Golden Corpses", which was co-produced by Shaw Brothers and the British company Salty Horse, and the subject matter covered horror elements from the East and the West.

There are both Western vampires and Eastern Maoshan zombies, yellow talisman paper and mahogany swords flying together, the cross is the same color of holy water, and the combination of Chinese and Western.The actors are also the most popular stars in Hong Kong and the United Kingdom. The Hong Kong side is Jiang Dawei, and the British side is Peter Cushing.

In order to promote the film, Shaw also bought the entire pages of "Ming Pao" and "Oriental Daily" to make a big publicity.

Golden Harvest also launched its own blockbuster "Blood in Holland", this film is Golden Harvest's second work to enter Hollywood after "Way of the Dragon".Golden Harvest independently invested in the film at a cost of more than US$1000 million.The actors invited are all famous Hollywood actors, and the story is modeled after 007 James Bond.

For this movie, Golden Harvest also vigorously promoted it, not only using its magazines, but also buying "Sing Tao Daily" and "Eastern Economic Journal" to shout for the film.

The struggle for hegemony among the Three Kingdoms has filled the Hong Kong film industry with gunpowder, and independent production companies can only retreat for fear of harming Chi Yu.
