The king of ghost horse comedy

Chapter 182 Starring in a TV Series (for collection)
After subduing Gui Zhihong's stubborn ass, the company's new rules and regulations were also implemented, which made Xu Guanwu feel relaxed for a while.

What made him even more happy was that although the truth of the "Palace Theater Fire Case" had not yet been found out, the suspicion of the Xu brothers' own arson to defraud insurance was basically ruled out.American AIA also readily paid the first batch of compensation—one million yuan—to compensate for the loss of goods caused by the fire.

After receiving the compensation from the insurance company, Xu Guanwu immediately started the reconstruction plan, refurbished the Palace Cinema, and reopened it as soon as possible.

Xu Guanwu's teeth itch with anger when he thought that this theater with five screening halls would be closed for half a month because of the arson case.

Five screening halls have 1000 and [-] seats. Even if the attendance rate is only [-]%, the box office loss will be close to one million.This does not include the income from selling snacks and window TV advertisements.

"Damn it, Brother Ma, let's wait and see!" Xu Guanwu cursed fiercely.

If his estimate is correct, the Ma Brothers still have two to three years at most. When the ICAC grows further, sooner or later they will have to attack this pair of big drug lords.At that time, the Ma brothers fled to Taiwan in embarrassment like dogs in mourning.

"Ten years is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge." Xu Guanwu muttered silently.

It's not that he doesn't want to confront the Ma brothers head-on, it's that Xu Guanwu is powerless now.

The Ma brothers have worked hard in Hong Kong for many years and have a huge underground force. They are one of the four major families of the Hong Kong gangsters. They are world-renowned drug lords who smuggle and sell more than [-] tons of X.

At the same time, the two brothers are also very crisis-conscious. They got involved in the righteous business early on, and continuously laundered the stolen money obtained from selling X products into legitimate income through legitimate business, and then used the money in Hong Kong, Canada, the United Kingdom, etc. to purchase property.

After that, even though the two brothers fled to Taiwan because of the Hong Kong police's arrest, the property under their names was not damaged. Today, they are still well-known and rich in Hong Kong.

Moreover, the "Oriental Daily" founded by the two brothers has been the number one in sales for decades, has its own mouthpiece, and has its own right to speak even in Baidao.

In addition, they have a good relationship with Li Jiacheng and Yang Shoucheng, who are also from Chaozhou. "Oriental Daily" rarely reports negative news about the Changshi family.It can be said that Xu Guanwu's contacts in the business world are beyond compare.

If a head-on conflict broke out, with Xu Guanwu's current strength, the best outcome would be that both sides would suffer.

Xu Guanwu came from rebirth through time travel. He just wanted to make a good fortune by relying on his past life memories, support his favorite Hong Kong movies, and spend the rest of his life happily. He didn't want to fight against bad elements like the Ma Brothers. Life beats death.

But if the Ma brothers bullied others too much and repeatedly challenged Xu Guanwu's bottom line, then he would fight back without hesitation.

"The clay figurines still have some earthy qualities!" Thinking of the arrogant tone of the Ma brothers in the blackmail call, Xu Guanwu couldn't help being angry for a while.

But what is strange is that the Ma brothers have not taken any further action since the blackmail call, which made Xu Guanwu faintly uneasy.

As the saying goes, it is easy to hide from an open gun, but hard to guard against a hidden arrow.

If the Ma Brothers really came out to trouble Xu Guanwu, he would still be able to see through his tricks and use the power of the police to counter them.

But now their brothers are lurking, without the slightest movement, like ghosts hiding in the dark, jumping out at any time to make trouble when people are not prepared.

"Brother Ma, what are you waiting for?" Xu Guanwufei asked suspiciously.

……

Just when Xu Guanwu was racking his brains to guess what the Ma brothers would do next, Zhao Yazhi had officially signed a contract with TVB to film the youth inspirational TV series "Riding the Wind and Breaking the Waves".

This drama is Zhao Yazhi's first TV series for TVB. Although there are only ten episodes, it cannot be compared with the long dramas with more than one hundred episodes.But the age span also spans several years, and actors have to act from female students to getting married and having children.

Xu Guanwu himself disapproved of his wife acting in TVB, because this TV station was notoriously stingy and notoriously oppressing its employees.

Zheng Shaoqiu filmed "Chu Liuxiang" because he was in a rush to shoot, and couldn't sleep for several days and nights, so he got tired of liver disease; Huang Rihua was also tired because of his busy work, he didn't have a good rest for many years, and he was tired and sick...

But Zhao Yazhi couldn't get in the way of affection, so she agreed to TVB's invitation.After all, she was able to make her debut at the beginning because she participated in the Miss Hong Kong beauty pageant of TVB.

The reason why TVB invited Zhao Yazhi to appear in the TV series is because Zhao Yazhi attended the Hollywood Awards Ceremony two months ago and was the first Hong Kong actress to walk on the red carpet at the Oscars and Golden Globe Awards. The company's films are recognizable in East Asia, and her acting skills have also been tempered; thirdly, she is the wife of film tycoon Xu Guanwu.The wife of a movie tycoon is in a TV series, which is a very good publicity stunt.

Based on the above three reasons, TVB very much hopes that Zhao Yazhi can play the role.

Recently, Zhao Yazhi stayed at home alone, and she was really depressed. After receiving the invitation from the wireless TV station, after much deliberation, she decided to go outside for a while while she was young.

Seeing that his wife had made up her mind to take part in the show, Xu Guanwu couldn't do anything to stop her, so he had no choice but to follow suit and agree to let her play.

Sure enough, as soon as the news of Zhao Yazhi's starring in TVB's new drama was announced, it immediately attracted a lot of attention, making the drama "Riding the Wind and Waves" popular before it was filmed, and the attention increased greatly.

Xu Guanwu lamented that Jiang is old and hot, and TVB received a lot of attention if he did anything wrong; he was worried over and over again that his wife would be wronged while filming, or that a pervert would take advantage of it.

After get off work in the afternoon, Xu Guanwu looked at his watch. It was only five o'clock, and he drove to Shenjing with his bodyguards to buy roast goose, and then went straight to TVB.

TVB is located on Tiujingling Broadcasting Road. The headquarters has only one administrative building, and all departments are located in this building, which is very crowded.

For Zhao Yazhi and the others to film, the outdoor scenes were basically borrowed from Shaw Brothers Studios, while the indoor scenes were all in this building.Because I did a lot of background work, every indoor scene felt that the background was monotonous.

Xu Guanwu and four bodyguards carried the roast goose all the way to the place where Zhao Yazhi was filming.

I saw her filming a singing scene. It was about Zhao Yazhi and other five people who decided to participate in an inter-school singing competition, but each school could only allow one team to participate, so their group had to compete with another group first. some.

The five people including Zhao Yazhi sang the theme song "Riding the Wind and Waves" of the TV series "Riding the Wind and Breaking the Waves", which was composed by music sage Gu Jiahui and lyricized by Lu Guozhan.

There are two "Zhan" in Hong Kong's lyricist world, one is the "old monster" Huang Zhan who is full of chivalry, and the other is the "chameleon" Lu Guozhan who can see through the vicissitudes of the situation.The two have their own strengths and weaknesses in style, and they are rivals in chess.

Lu Guozhan has written countless lyrics, most of which are for TV dramas. His classic works include "Little Li Feidao", "The Great Wall Will Never Fall", "Whenever It Changes" and so on.

Because of his outstanding contribution to the Hong Kong music scene, in 2001 Lo received the "Lifetime Achievement Award" from the Hong Kong Composers and Authors Association.

Xu Guanwu liked to listen to Cantonese songs in his previous life, and he has been famous for Lu Guozhan for a long time. His favorite song "Whenever Changes" sounds like the vicissitudes of life and the world is uncertain.

This "Riding the Wind and Waves" written by him is also a rare inspirational song, and the lyrics are full of upward force.

Xu Guanwu nodded while listening to it, feeling that the melody of this song is beautiful and the lyrics are inspirational, which is really suitable for young people to listen to.

"Mr. Xu, are you here to visit the class?!" Zhang Ji quickly found Xu Guanwu and his party, and hurriedly greeted them with a smile.

Although Xu Guanwu is not his boss, but he is in the entertainment industry, a film tycoon like Xu Guanwu, he naturally dare not offend him with a small record.

"Yeah, I don't know if you welcome it or not?" Xu Guanwu smiled.

"Welcome, of course you are welcome. You wait here for a moment, I'll go and tell the producer." As the director said, he hurried over.

After a while, the filming of this scene was over, and the director clapped his hands, "Okay, everyone, take a break."

"Wow!" Everyone present immediately cheered, even Zhao Yazhi sat down on the podium regardless of her image, looking really tired.

Seeing it, Xu Guanwu felt pain in his heart, and hurried over with the roast goose.
