The king of ghost horse comedy

Chapter 162 Returning to Hong Kong (for collection)
After seeing the shocking effect of "Jaws", Darryl Zanuk has to admit that this is a very good commercial film, which combines thriller, suspense, blood, passion and other factors, and is destined to be a very popular movie. commercial film.

Seeing that both Darryl and Lei Shidong were very satisfied with the film, Xu Guanwu started to negotiate terms with both parties.

After some wrangling, the three parties finally reached an agreement that "Jaws" would be distributed by 20th Century Fox, and National Entertainment would provide theater releases.

Because of Xu Guanwu's insistence, this movie will be screened in all theaters under National Entertainment on the same day.It is no longer like the previous Hollywood films. Before large-scale releases, pilot projects must be conducted in several cities. If the box office is excellent, the scale of releases will be expanded.

In terms of box office share, Xu Guanwu also has the advantage. He gets [-]% of the movie box office in the first week, and then decreases by [-]% each week.The longer the screening time, the more the theaters will share with the distribution company.

As for the copyright of overseas distribution, 20th Century Fox is also in charge. They have a distribution network all over the world. Assigning it to them can double the income from the overseas copyright of "Jaws".

Speaking of this, Darryl Zanjuk criticized Xu Guanwu's handling of the overseas copyright of "Rocky", thinking that he did not bring out the true power of the film at all.

"It's simply wasting a good thing." Darryl Zanjuk said sadly, "If it were handed over to us at 20th Century Fox, the overseas copyright of "Rocky" could sell at least 5000 million. In addition to the TV show, selling peripherals , copyright authorization, etc., at least another [-] million US dollars can be earned."

Xu Guanwu also knew that because he didn't stay in the United States often, many copyright matters were not handled in time, which caused a heavy loss to the movie "Rocky".Immediately follow the good advice and hand over the copyright of "Rocky" to the 20th Century Fox agency.

After participating in two award ceremonies of the Golden Globe Awards and the Academy Awards, he has invested in the films of Steve Spielberg and George Lucas, injected capital into CAA brokerage company and National Entertainment Company, and completed "Big White" After the release of Shark, Xu Guanwu planned to go back to Hong Kong first.

Because he often eats food from the United States, he has recently suffered from indigestion. He just finished what he should do, and now is the right time to go back.

After Zhao Yazhi heard about it, she was also very happy.She has no friends here in the United States, and she either stays in the hotel watching TV or goes shopping every day, and she has long been bored to death.

Hearing that Xu Guanwu said that he would return to Hong Kong tomorrow, he hugged Xu Guanwu happily and jumped up and down happily.

"Why are you so happy when you hear that you're home? Is it really not fun here in the United States?" Xu Guanwu couldn't help asking with a smile when he saw that she was so happy.

"Yes." Zhao Yazhi smiled, "Although the United States is good, it is not as friendly as Hong Kong. And there are too many beautiful women here. I am afraid that if you are not careful, you will be seduced away."

"Don't worry, your husband, I'm not interested in animals like golden cats and wild horses." Xu Guanwu smiled.

"Well, what you say is one thing, but what you think in your heart is another, how can you make me feel at ease?" Zhao Yazhi shook her head, clearly disbelieving Xu Guanwu's sweet words, "By the way, since I'm going back to Hong Kong tomorrow, why don't you let me go?" Give Big Brother and the others a call. Then we can arrange someone to pick us up at the airport."

Xu Guanwu nodded, and immediately called Hong Kong, "Hey, brother, A Zhi and I will return to Hong Kong tomorrow."

"Uh, have you finished everything over there? If not, let's stay for a few more days." Xu Guanwen said on the phone.

Xu Guanwu couldn't help being taken aback when he heard this, the elder brother's words seemed a bit strange, "Brother, the matters on the US side have basically been dealt with, there is nothing to stay, and besides, I am not used to the food here."

"Ah Wu, please stay in the US for a few more days, there are some troubles in Hong Kong." Seeing that his second brother insisted on coming back, Xu Guanwen had no choice but to tell the truth.

"Some troubles?! What's the matter?" Xu Guanwu asked suspiciously.

"It's not just about the Oscars." Xu Guanwen sighed, "This time you were shortlisted but didn't win an award, but you were criticized by "Oriental Daily" and "Sing Tao Daily" and other newspapers, saying that you lost Hongkongers. It stirred up some unreasonable citizens to protest downstairs in our company, which made our office a problem recently.”

Xu Guanwu was so angry that he didn't know what to say. He didn't expect the media such as "Oriental Daily" and "Sing Tao Daily" to be so unscrupulous. It is a joy to be shortlisted for the Oscars, but they turned black and white into Hong Kong. Shame.

And those citizens who don't know the truth actually ran downstairs to the company to protest, which is really funny and angry.

"Brother, you don't need to persuade me anymore, I still insist on going back to Hong Kong. That's it, hang up." Xu Guanwu hung up the phone with a livid face.

"Ah Wu, what's going on, I see something wrong with your face." Zhao Yazhi asked worriedly.

Afraid that she would think too much, Xu Guanwu quickly put on a smiling face, "It's nothing, we'll go back tomorrow, you should prepare quickly and see if there is anything you want to buy for everyone."

Seeing that Xu Guanwu refused to speak, Zhao Yazhi had no choice but to keep her doubts in her heart and packed her luggage.

When I came this time, I brought a large box of movie copies, including "Ghost and Horse Twin Stars" and "Genius and Idiot" by the Xu Brothers, "Snake-shaped Hands" by Cheng Long, "Laughing Fist Strange Tricks", Hong Jingbao's "Fat Dragon Crossing the River", "Monk Sande and Pounding Rice Six" and Mai Jia's "Tiger Frog" and so on.All were screened by Redstone's National Entertainment.

When I went back, the box was already empty, so Zhao Yazhi put the presents I had purchased in the past few days into it, such as perfume, fashion, handicrafts, stationery, etc., also filled a large box.

After tidying up, I was so tired that I couldn't even straighten my waist.

"Finished?" Xu Guanwu asked with a smile, "Come on, let me give you a massage."

Zhao Yazhi was obedient and lay down on the bed.

Xu Guanwu rolled up his arms and sleeves, and gently pressed her up, "Azhi, do you want to stay in the United States for a few more days?"

"Why?" Zhao Yazhi asked in surprise.

"No reason." Xu Guanwu shook his head and said.

"Ah Wu, did something happen in Hong Kong?" Zhao Yazhi sat up and asked.

Xu Guanwu hesitated for a moment, and told the situation in Hong Kong again, "I can go back and deal with it alone. I don't want you to go back and accompany me to worry about it."

"What are you talking about? We are husband and wife. We will take on things together." Zhao Yazhi said quickly, "Don't worry, Ah Wu, I'm not as fragile as you think."

"In this case, let's go back together." Xu Guanwu nodded.

……

The next day, Xu Guanwu and Zhao Yazhi got on the flight to Hong Kong.

After leaving the airport, Xu Guanwu saw his sister-in-law and four younger siblings waiting to pick him up.

"Sister-in-law, I'm really sorry to bother you to pick up the plane." Xu Guanwu said with a smile.

"Your elder brother wanted to come here, but he was afraid of being followed by reporters, so he sent the two of us here." Sister-in-law Chen Jieying said with a smile, "How is it? Is America fun?"

"What's the fun, I'm so tired." Xu Guanwu shook his head, "And the food is so bad, I almost got a stomach problem."

"So, it's better to be at home than to be anywhere." The sister-in-law said with a smile, "I'll go shopping later, and we will have a good meal at noon."

"Well, thank you sister-in-law. By the way, Ah Zhi and I bought gifts for everyone. Let's see when we get home." Xu Guanwu smiled again.

"Every time you go abroad, you will spend money. Really, there is nothing in Hong Kong, so why bother to spend this money." The sister-in-law laughed.

"It's okay, you have to show something when you go out." Xu Guanwu waved his hand.

The four of them walked out of the airport together with their luggage. Just as they arrived at the gate, suddenly a lot of people came out of nowhere and surrounded Xu Guanwu and the others in the blink of an eye.

"Mr. Xu, this trip to Hollywood has not won any prizes. Do you have anything to explain to the people of Hong Kong?"

"Did you say that Hong Kong movies are far inferior to Hollywood movies? Then why don't you stay in the United States and come back to Hong Kong?"

"Mr. Xu, do you insist on not apologizing to the citizens for those fallacies?"

……

The reporters surrounded the four of them, unable to move a single step, and the situation was even more critical.
