The king of ghost horse comedy

Chapter 191 Innovative Cooperation Model
In the next two days, the incident of the Xu brothers taking to the streets continued to ferment. Not only did it make the headlines for two days, but even TVB and Li's TV made several episodes to report on the incident, which can be said to be well known in the city. Public grievances boiled over.

The Black Society has a long history in Hong Kong, and none of the common people is immune to anger.

Therefore, when they saw a black X, they would burn down two theaters in a row, and even frantically called to intimidate them.

The hearts of the people are available, people's grievances are boiling, and under the pressure of public opinion, the British Hong Kong government has to pay attention to it.

Three days later, the police announced that the perpetrators of the arson case had been arrested and brought to justice. There were 31 people in total.

Later, the leader of Yiqun, Liao Hao, and his key members were swept away by the police. Huang Jinkai was also sent to the police station by Xu Guanwu after he fled for several months. These former younger brothers of Huang Jinkai set fire to two theaters owned by Xu Guanwu out of anger.

Xu Guanwu knew that this was just a group of scapegoats hired by the police. Huang Jinkai had already been imprisoned years ago. If he wanted revenge, why wait until half a year later?

Furthermore, although the Black X Society advertises that it is righteous, it is actually just fooling people.The real situation is that there is no profit and no early.

If you have money, someone is willing to work hard for you, but if you don't have money, so what if you have status in the world?

Although Huang Jinkai had a large number of younger brothers following him before, at that time he was the head of the Jordan district, with power and money in his hands.Those little brothers surrounded him just to ask for his power and money.

Now he is just a prisoner, and his money has been drained long ago, why would the ghost want to avenge him?

But even though he knew that this was the police looking for a scapegoat, Xu Guanwu didn't make trouble anymore. He knew that after this incident, the Ma brothers would be quiet for a while and would not set fire to the theater again.

After all, the police had just announced that they had solved the case, and the theater over there continued to catch fire, which was tantamount to slapping the police in the face.

But not burning the movie theater does not mean that the Ma brothers will stop from now on, there must be other means to harm Xu Guanwu.So Xu Guanwu did not take it lightly.

……

The arson case was finally announced to come to an end as those prisoners were arrested and sentenced one after another.

Afterwards, Xu Guanwu was approved by the Hong Kong Governor's Office without naming his name because he held a private rally. Fortunately, due to the boiling public grievances, Xu Guanwu's title of Justice of the Peace was not revoked.The title will be conferred by the Governor of Hong Kong next month.

The compensation for the Kyoto Theater and the Imperial Palace Theater has also been paid out in one go. Although it will take some time to renovate, the reopening is just around the corner.

The worst was the tenants on the third to fifth floors of the Kyoto Theater. Although the insurance company compensated a sum of money, there was still a big gap compared to the loss.

In addition, those arsonists are all poor ghosts, even if the recovery goes bankrupt, they will not be able to extract tens of thousands of Hong Kong dollars.Therefore, these merchants took Xu Guanwu to the court in a fit of anger, demanding that he compensate for the loss.

Although Xu Guanwu felt a little wronged, he still sent a lawyer to deal with them.In the end, the two parties settled out of court, and Xu Guanwu waived their one-year rent, which completely settled the matter.

……

When all the lawsuits were fully understood, it was already the end of June.

"Salted Fish Reborn" was released for one month, and the box office exceeded 300 million Hong Kong dollars. It is a well-deserved summer champion."Overwhelming Country and Overwhelming City" directed by Li Hanxiang ranked second, with a box office of 240 million Hong Kong dollars."Eagle Claw Iron Shirt" directed by Wu Siyuan and starring Liu Yong had a box office of 190 million Hong Kong dollars, but unfortunately it did not break through the 200 million mark.

"A Niu Entering the City" received a total of 150 million Hong Kong dollars, which is already a surprise.Even more rare is the opera film "Marriage of Three Smiles", which also had a box office of 120 million. No one can tell whether it is a comeback of the opera film or it is about to rise again.

However, Golden Harvest has gone one step ahead and invited the two leading actors of "Three Smiles and Marriage", Long Jiansheng and Mei Xueshi, to perform the classic Cantonese opera "Emperor Flower" again.

The Cantonese opera "The Emperor's Flower" was made into a movie in the 50s and caused a sensation in the city. In the 50s, the master starred, and in the 70s, the apprentice starred, which can be regarded as a good story in the music world.

After "Salted Fish Resurrection" is released, it will be replaced by Qiong Yao's new play "Moon Misty Bird Misty", which also uses the old cast of "I Am a Cloud", starring Qin Xianglin and Lin Qingxia.

After the box office hit of "I Am a Piece of Cloud", Qiong Yao also summed up several key points for the hit. The first is to choose the best star.Qin Xianglin, Lin Qingxia, Qin Han, and Lin Fengjiao, who have just emerged, are collectively known as Erqin Erlin. They are the leading movie stars in Taiwan.

The second is to choose a good director. The director of "Moon Misty Birds Misty" Chen Yaochi is a famous film director in Taiwan. He graduated from the New York Branch of the University of California in the United States. He is a director with a serious background.

As soon as he debuted, he made a sensation in Taiwan's literary and art circles with a real film "Liu Bijia" full of observational documentary connotations. Now he is a well-known director of art films.

The third is to choose a good publicity strategy.Every time the Xu brothers release a new movie, the fourth brother Xu Guanjie will release an album beforehand. He will first tell the street about the theme singing, and then follow the trend to release a new film, which often achieves amazing box office.

Although Qiong Yao doesn't know how to release records, she is a popular writer. She sells novels before making movies, and makes movies while serializing them in magazines.

When everyone has finished watching the serial, the movie will also be released.Qiong Yao's novels can be said to be must-reads for young men and women in Taiwan. After reading the novels and then watching movies, this operation allowed Qiong Yao to finally escape from the quagmire of losing money.

In addition to Qiong Yao's new play, Brilliant Cinemas also screened a kung fu movie produced by Golden Dragon Films, "The Ghost Horse Boxer's Stupid Apprentice", starring Lin Zhengying, Zhong Fa, Chen Huiyi, Chen Long, Meng Hai and others. The plot in the play draws on "Laughing Fist Strange Tricks" and "Tiger Frog", and also tells the interesting story of the master and apprentice traveling together in the rivers and lakes.

Lin Zhengying, Zhong Fa and others starred in many popular films in Xu Brothers Company. Although they only played supporting roles in them, they appeared more often and gained a certain popularity.

Golden Dragon Pictures has recently become popular with Kung Fu comedies, and they want to follow suit and make one.But star actors couldn't afford it, so they had to hire some familiar second-tier actors to make up for it.

Two months ago, when Xu Guanwu found the superstar management company, he saw their invitation, so he borrowed the cooperation model of the CAA management company.

The superstar manager company packaged and provided the story, script, actors, lighting, photography, etc. If Golden Dragon Films hadn't insisted on using its own director, even Xu Guanwu would have prepared the director for him.This entire set of crew members was packaged and sent out. Before the filming of the film officially started, it had already earned 25 Hong Kong dollars.

Although paying such a large sum of money, Golden Dragon Pictures is very happy.Because it is a leather bag company in itself, except for the boss and a few staff members, there is nothing else.

If it is allowed to build a production crew by itself, and the east family borrows a lighting engineer, and the west family borrows a makeup artist, it may not be possible to build it after a few months of tossing, and at the same time, it will not cost less money.

Now they only need to spend a sum of money, and they have prepared a full set of crew members, and they are very kind to it. Needless to say, how much time is saved, the most important thing is that it is cheap.

If you plan to set up such a crew by yourself, because you don't have such a wide network of contacts, and it is a one-time transaction, people will naturally ask for a high price, and you can't solve the problem without spending 40 to [-] yuan.

And because the personnel are borrowed from everywhere, it is naturally impossible to have a tacit cooperation, so the filming must be bumpy.Now it only costs more than 20 yuan to get it all done, and the crew belongs to the same company. I don’t know how many times they have cooperated with each other.

What's even more rare is that after using the full set of personnel from the superstar manager company, they don't even have to worry about the movie's schedule.

As we all know, the most difficult thing for an independent production company is not to shoot a movie, but to have no schedule to release its own movie.

Hong Kong now has a total of six cinema lines, including Shuangnan Cinemas with a mainland background, Yimei Cinemas that specialize in art films, Anle Cinemas that only show western films, and the three largest cinemas, Shaw Brothers, Golden Harvest, and Hui’s.

Shaw Brothers only screens Shaw Brothers' own films, while Golden Harvest also screens films from other production companies, but the most popular schedules are still given priority to their own films.

The schedules assigned by independent production companies are either off-season at the box office, or the schedules are extremely short, and the film will be canceled within one week or ten days of screening.In this way, even if the movie is shot very well, it is difficult to have a very high box office.

But because Xu Guanwu owns a multiplex theater, he can show multiple movies at the same time, so he doesn't have to worry about the schedule.When Xu Guanwu cooperated with Golden Dragon Films, he specially added the schedule item to the contract, promising to give the film an arranged schedule, and if the box office results are satisfactory, the release time will be extended, etc., giving Golden Dragon Films a big blow. Big relief pill.

Golden Dragon Pictures is naturally very happy, it can shoot the film with only [-]% of the previous budget, and there is no need to worry about the schedule.

It's like saying that I only paid a sum of money, and then just waited to make money. What a happy thing this is.

Xu Guanwu was also very happy. This cooperation with Golden Dragon Films not only digested the company's remaining idle resources, but also trained its own talents, and also filled its own theater chain. The most important thing is to make a steady profit without losing money.

Provide the crew to make money for themselves, and in the future they will also earn a share of the box office when it is released.

After two months of filming, "Ghost Horse Boxer's Stupid Apprentice" was finally completed, and the editing, printing, recording and copying and other follow-up productions were all undertaken by the Xu Brothers Company, which brought a new income.

Xu Guanwu was also in charge of the advertising promotion after the movie, which was another sum of money.

From the crew preparation and actor selection at the beginning of the film, to the filming in the middle, the post-production and publicity, Xu is basically in charge of it, and the whole process is paid for.

This also shows that Xu Guanwu's power to create a film and television empire is slowly emerging.

　The group has been announced for a month, and no one has joined the group, which is really embarrassing!
　　=. =!

　　……

　　There were also two brothers who voted for monthly votes, which was really touching!
　　Sincerely say thank you!
