The king of ghost horse comedy

Chapter 150
"The best film in the drama category is shortlisted for "Rocky", "The Godfather 2", "Chinatown", and "Burning Skyscrapers." The award presenter introduced.

Xu Guanwu noticed that the lens of a camera was pointed at him very quickly, and he straightened up quickly, assuming he was sitting upright.

"The winner is 'The Godfather 2'." The award presenter shouted loudly.

The whole audience burst into warm applause, Xu Guanwu also applauded with a smile.

"Ah Wu, don't be sad, let's come again next time." Zhao Yazhi comforted.

Xu Guanwu nodded with a smile, "Well, next time I will take a trophy home with me."

……

After the awards ceremony, the organizers of the Golden Globes also specially prepared a grand dinner for today's guests, and at the same time prepared a mysterious gift package for everyone, packed in exquisite gift bags.

"Although I didn't win the award, with these gifts, this Golden Globe Award is not in vain." Xu Guanwu joked with a smile.

Seeing that her husband didn't look in a bad mood, Zhao Yazhi couldn't help but feel relieved, "What gift do you think will be inside?"

"It would be the best if it was cash." Xu Guanwu smiled, "It's so heavy, if it was cash, it would be at least hundreds of thousands of dollars."

"Money fan! How could it be cash? In my opinion, jewelry or commemorative clothing are more reliable." Zhao Yazhi guessed with a smile.

"You don't need to guess, it's so troublesome. After you arrive at the hotel, you will know if you take it apart and have a look." Xu Guanwu smiled.

"Stanley, it's a pity that I didn't win the award. In fact, the movie "Rocky" is really good." At this time, Richard came over to comfort him.

Xu Guanwu smiled, "It's okay, although "Rocky" didn't win the award, but I think "Jaws" will win it back for me next year."

"Yes, "Jaws" is really well shot, and it has the ability to hit the Oscars." Richard also smiled proudly, "By the way, Stanley, there is something I want to talk to you about."

"What's the matter, is it important?" Seeing Richard's serious expression, Xu Guanwu couldn't help asking in doubt.

"It's a very important matter." Richard nodded.

"Okay then, Ah Zhi, you go eat something first, I'll talk to Richard, and I'll be right back." Xu Guanwu nodded and said.

……

Being dragged into a corner by Richard, Xu Guanwu was full of doubts, "What's the matter, seeing how serious you are?" He couldn't help asking.

"Uh, I have a small proposal..." Richard's face became ugly, he was silent for a while, and finally said, "Can this movie be distributed by 20th Century Fox?"

"20th Century Fox?" Xu Guanwu couldn't help being taken aback, "Why?"

"The current chairman of 20th Century Fox, Darryl Zanuck, is my father," Richard explained. "Jaws" is a very good movie, and I'm sure it's going to be a hit."

"You mean, if it is distributed by 20th Century Fox, once the box office is successful, it can relieve the pressure on your father, right?" Xu Guanwu asked.

Richard nodded. Although he knew that his thoughts were selfish, he bravely raised them for his father.

After hearing Richard's proposal, Xu Guanwu originally wanted to refuse.

This was not when he released "Rocky" last year, because there was no distributor, he was almost stuck directly.

Now that he has established a cooperative relationship with Lei Shidong, one producer and one cinema operator, he can release the film independently.But if a publisher is added in the middle, it will be forced to give up a large share.

But after thinking about it again, Xu Guanwu couldn't make up his mind.

Although he is now cooperating with Lei Shidong, Xu Guanwu does not fully trust him.

Various events in later generations show that Lei Shidong is a person with a strong desire for power. Even if he is his own child, it is difficult to share power from him.

Not to mention Xu Guanwu as an outsider.

The close cooperation now is also because Xu Guanwu can bring him profits without affecting his power.

But if Xu Guanwu invests in National Entertainment and becomes one of the shareholders, and challenges Lei Shidong's position in the company's decision-making in the future, then Lei Shidong will definitely turn against Xu Guanwu without hesitation.

"Should I buy a double insurance for myself? It seems that selling 20th Century Fox is a good idea, and I can use it in the future." Xu Guanwu couldn't help thinking.

Although Hollywood film companies are all profit-seeking, they also value stable cooperative alliances.

In the 80s, "Ninja Turtles" filmed by Golden Harvest was handed over to the newly established New Line Films for distribution when no one was publishing it.

As a result, "Ninja Turtles" grossed more than $[-] million at the box office, and New Line Films was able to make a fortune.Later, he helped Golden Harvest release many films, and also brought Cheng Long from Hong Kong to the United States.

This is a typical throwing a peach and rewarding a plum.

Moreover, 20th Century Fox also has great potential for development in the future. Establishing contact with them now will facilitate further cooperation in the future.

Thinking of this, Xu Guanwu nodded and told Richard to let him think about it first.

If 20th Century Fox offered good conditions, he would still be willing to make this friend.

……

After the Golden Globe Awards dinner, Xu Guanwu and Zhao Yazhi returned to the hotel.

As soon as he entered the room, Xu Guanwu couldn't wait to open the gift bag.

"Money fan, you have so much money, are you still coveting these small gifts?" Zhao Yazhi couldn't help laughing when she saw his rushing look.

"No matter how little money is, don't be afraid of smallness. No matter how much money you have, don't be afraid of too much. To make money, you need to accumulate sand into a tower, gather armpits into fur, and calculate every penny." Xu Guanwu said solemnly, and then opened the gift bag. There are several gift boxes inside.

Open it up and see watches, brooches, silk underwear, small bottles of red wine, chocolates and so on.

"Except for this watch and the diamond brooch, which are worth two dollars, everything else is worthless." Xu Guanwu curled his lips.

"No, I think this underwear is very good and feels good to the touch." Zhao Yazhi said happily.

"Well, I also feel good, try it on, okay?" Seeing his wife picking up the underwear and gesticulating on her body, Xu Guanwu couldn't help smiling shyly.

Zhao Yazhi blushed, dropped her underwear, and ignored him, "The day after tomorrow will be the award ceremony of the Golden Statue Awards, if you don't get another award, how will you explain it when you go back?"

"How can I explain it? It's up to people to make things happen. Who guarantees that you will win the prize? If you can be nominated, you will already be Amitabha." Xu Guanwu said with a smile, "I have been in the United States for two days, and I don't know how Serena's poaching plan is going. gone."

"Give me a call and ask, it's not like there is no ocean line." Zhao Yazhi smiled.

"My wife is smart, so I'll call right away." Xu Guanwu quickly jumped up from the bed.

The time difference between the United States and Hong Kong is twelve hours. It is midnight in the United States, but Hong Kong is sunny at the moment.

As soon as Xu Guanwu called, the other side immediately answered, "Second brother, how is it, did you win the prize?" Xu Guanying's voice came from the phone.

"No." Xu Guanwu said.

"Woo! What a pity." Xu Guanying said.

There was the sound of someone sighing beside him.
