The king of ghost horse comedy

Chapter 358 Looking Back at Qiqi

Before "Rocky" was released, there were very few domestic box office hits of more than [-] million in the United States.Before "Jaws" was released, there were very few American movies with a box office of more than [-] million.Before the release of "Star Wars", the box office of American movies probably exceeded [-] million US dollars.

And these three movies that set new box office records one after another were all invested by one person.This person is Xu Guanwu, and his investment vision is really astounding.

According to incomplete statistics, Xu Guanwu has already earned [-] million US dollars in the United States just by relying on these few investment films. This is quite a huge sum of money, big enough to make everyone envious.

Facing such fierce money-absorbing ability of Xu Guanwu, Hollywood has voiced its opposition one after another.Among them, some extreme filmmakers put forward the slogan of expelling Xu Guanwu, thinking that he made money that should have been made by Hollywood filmmakers, and that the money he earned did not go back to the United States, but was brought back to Hong Kong.This is the most intolerable place.

However, if some criticize it, others will support it. One side of the view is that Xu Guanwu's investment in movies and profits from them are in line with US laws and business ethics.If even this kind of legal investment business is to be boycotted, then the United States really needs to reflect on whether it is a free and democratic country;

Another point of view is that Xu Guanwu invests in movies, and no matter how the profits are used, it is his personal problem.No one is allowed to accuse, otherwise it will violate the spirit of freedom and equality;
Another point of view is that after Xu Guanwu made profits, he also gave back to the United States. He couldn't help but invested in many movies, and also bought shares in 20th Century Fox, National Entertainment, etc., helping Fox, which was on the verge of bankruptcy, to revitalize.

In addition, he has also vigorously supported many young filmmakers, such as Sylvester Stallone, Steven Spielberg, George Lucas, etc. Excellent investors like this should not be stigmatized .

Both the pros and the pros are arguing with each other in newspapers, radio stations, magazines, and TV stations, and they are having a great time fighting.On the contrary, Xu Guanwu, the protagonist who was originally the core of the debate, now stays out of the matter, watching them fight endlessly leisurely.

The reason why Xu Guanwu is so relaxed and not worried about his investment in Hollywood being restricted in the future is actually because he knows that in a so-called free and democratic country like the United States, things are actually very funny.

Although there is a lot of noise now, it is actually very difficult to actually implement it into a bill.To go through layers of checkpoints, it is as difficult as Tang Monk learning scriptures ninety-nine and 81.

He is not the only foreigner who invests in Hollywood movies, and he is not the only foreigner who invests in the United States. If the United States really dares to pass such a restrictive law to strictly restrict foreign investment in Hollywood movies, I am afraid it will become an international one. Big joke.

……

Amidst the noise and clamor of the people, [-] passed smoothly.

Although Xu Guanwu made a lot of money last year and bought his own private jet, he is not very happy.Because another year passed, Xu Guanwu knew that he was one year older.

When I was young, I always looked forward to growing up, but now when I grow up, I think it would be better if I never grow up.So many people envy Peter Pan, because he is a child who will never grow up.

Looking back in [-], Xu Guanwu felt a lot of emotion.It's been a pretty monumental year for him.

This year, Xu Guanwu owned his first private jet, which was also the first private business jet in Hong Kong.Really unprecedented, set a precedent.

For Xu Guanwu's plane, all the rich and powerful in Hong Kong are envious and jealous.Even the boss of HSBC Bank, Shen Bi, once expressed his jealousy to him nakedly. Although he is in charge of tens of billions of dollars in assets, he is not qualified to buy his own private jet.

The board of directors of the company will not pay for his luxury, and if he buys it with his own money, he may have to save for several years.And even if you can afford an airplane, you can't afford the venue lease, crew salaries, aircraft maintenance, and so on.

After Xu Guanwu heard his complaint, he immediately agreed to Shen Bi that he could lend it anytime he wanted, which made Shen Bi very happy after hearing it.Being able to travel in a private business jet is naturally more comfortable than traveling by air.Even though Shen Bi still takes the first-class cabin even if he travels by air, it is still not as comfortable as a private jet.

Xu Guanwu spent tens of millions of dollars on the decoration of this King Air, and the interior decoration really looks like a paradise on earth.Not to mention anything else, there are nearly a hundred bottles of expensive red wine alone, which can definitely be regarded as a paradise for alcoholics.The reason why Xu Guanwu didn't drink alcohol and had to prepare so much expensive red wine was actually because Xu Guanwu planned to make it a luxurious flying car and rent it out as a car for the rich to travel.

But it is a pity that the application for the business license has been delayed, so the business of flying in the air has been unable to start.It also makes this King Air can only park on the airfield at ordinary times, and rarely has the opportunity to soar into the sky.This made Xu Guanwu spend tens of millions of dollars, just like buying a model airplane.

However, Xu Guanwu has not given up his efforts. He has been continuously applying for a license from the government, striving to get the license to fly in the air as soon as possible, so that he can smoothly start the private jet leasing business, so that the King Air will not be parked at the airport. Rust on the plane pad.

……

In addition to the private jet, Xu Guanwu also has his first little nephew.The eldest sister-in-law Chen Jieying gave birth to a big fat boy in October, which is a happy event for Xu's family.

As for the matter of naming the eldest son and grandson, the elder brother Xu Guanwen and his father also had a lot of troubles. They searched Kangxi dictionary, Cihai, etc., and finally chose the word "thinking" by luck.Xu Siwei became the name of this big fat boy.

The Xu family hadn't had a baby for a long time. The appearance of Xu Siwei gave the family hope and made the Spring Festival of [-] more joyful.

And the birth of this little life also made Zhao Yazhi's heart very hot.It's just that giving birth to a child also needs to be done by chance, and you can't get it by force, so it's useless to be impatient.

The marriage of the third child, Xu Guanying, was also brought to the fore. This time, the gunfire was so fierce that Xu Guanying couldn't stand the nagging, and stayed at the Regent Hotel for several nights in a row.In the end, it was the eldest brother who first persuaded the parents and then coaxed Xu Guanying back.

In fact, it wasn't that Xu Guanying wasn't looking for her, nor was it that there weren't no girls who took the initiative to strike up a conversation.But Xu Guanying was born shy, so she was always timid when interacting with girls, and she was even more reluctant to let go than girls.This will also embarrass the girls a little bit, so after meeting twice, there is often nothing to say.

As for those girls who are too relaxed, Xu Guanying also has scruples.He is very rich now, excluding film remuneration, album dividends, etc., the annual dividends of Xu's Films alone exceed tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars.Not to mention that last year Xu Guanwu made a big purchase of the Xu Corporation, and the brothers received [-] million in cash, as well as the huge dividends from the Xu Corporation and so on.

With so much money and such a high status, Xu Guanying has also become a veritable diamond king.Although the appearance of the person is a bit bad, under the halo of money, this only shortcoming no longer becomes a shortcoming.

There are many girls chasing fame and fortune in this world. There are hundreds of artists under the Xu family, and there are also hundreds of female artists.Not to mention other women in society, there are countless of them.Many women took the initiative to flirt with Xu Guanying, and many of them were beauties with angel faces and devil figures.

But Xu Guanying didn't lose his head in the face of the temptation. For this kind of overly proactive ones, he wished to post them immediately, and avoided them all.And he doesn't go to bars or karaoke clubs. Apart from filming, he either practices songs in a record company or goes fishing with his elder brother. Basically, he doesn't have any bad habits.So this also avoided a lot of entanglements from mad bees, waves and butterflies, and allowed him to avoid many unbearable scandals.

……

In addition to the little boy Xu Siwei in the family, there is also a happy event that Xu Zhudi was admitted to the University of Birmingham in the UK as a graduate student (I haven’t written about her for a long time, everyone still remembers this person! =.=!).

Xu Zhudi has been abroad for four years since he went abroad to study in [-]. Except for coming back once during the summer vacation and winter vacation, he stays in the UK to study the rest of the time.

Now she can be admitted to the postgraduate program of the Economics and Management Department of the University of Birmingham, which is really a gratifying thing.For this, the whole family rewarded her with a Beetle car, which was convenient for her to commute to and from school.

Although the Xu family is now a very rich man in Hong Kong, he did not let Xu Zhudi spend money indiscriminately.Except for the tuition and living expenses paid by the family, Xu Zhudi has to work for all other expenses.Of course, this made her very confused at the beginning.

Obviously, the second elder brother can earn so much money. They all live in villas at home, and hire servants to travel in and out of luxury cars.Why do I still have to suffer in the UK? !
There was this knot in her heart that she couldn't get rid of, which also kept her from coming home for two years.But fortunately, the two years of hard work have honed her will and belief, and also made her understand the intention of her parents in doing so.So after I was admitted to graduate school this year, I finally had a happy knot with my family, and I will go home for the Spring Festival this year.I heard that the boyfriend was going to be brought back together, which also made the old couple of the Xu family very nervous. After breaking into the Layue Gate, they started to work.

……

In terms of family, everything is going well, and in terms of career, Xu Guanwu has also achieved impressive results.

A "Star Wars" and a "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" made him a lot of money. It is estimated that there will be more than [-] million US dollars in revenue, which is definitely a huge sum of money.Several major Hollywood film companies may not be as profitable as him.

In addition to these two films, "Moonlight Panic", "Raiders of the Lost Ark" and "Alien" invested in the future have also started filming.

Originally, "Moonlight Panic" was going to be released this year, but because the power of "Star Wars" is too fierce.It was released in early June and continued to be popular until the end of August, a full two months.

All the movies released during the second period became cannon fodder under the wheels of "Star Wars", and there was a lot of grief.So many companies were forced to postpone the release of the film.

And after September, it’s the time when blockbuster movies gather. Halloween schedule, Christmas schedule, New Year’s Day schedule, etc. are all good times for high box office production, and there are more blockbuster movies in the first place.Coupled with the delay of other blockbusters due to avoiding "Star Wars", the result is that the schedule for the second half of the year in the United States is extremely crowded.

Although "Moonlight Panic" has been filmed long ago and has already finished post-production, it is a pity that there is no release date for it.In addition, the most suitable time for horror movies to be released is around Halloween, so there is no choice but to wait for a year to release, which is a very sad thing.

And "Raiders of the Lost Ark" has officially started shooting after being polished by the screenwriter.The film is produced by George Lucas and David Brown, directed by Steven Spielberg, and Harrison Ford, highly recommended by George Lucas, is the actor.He previously participated in the performance of George Lucas's debut film "American Graffiti" and later played Captain Han Solo in "Star Wars". He is a young actor who is now famous in the American film industry.
