The king of ghost horse comedy

Chapter 47 Big Production "Seven Golden Corpses"

Xu Guanwu didn't ask Zhao Yazhi if he would go to the United States with him, because he was not sure how Zhao Yazhi would answer, and he didn't know what would happen in the United States.

After leaving the studio, Xu Guanwu found Xu Guanwen.

"Second brother, do you know why Golden Harvest intends to open a new company in North America?" Xu Guanwen laughed when he saw Xu Guanwu.

Xu Guanwu shook his head, he was also very curious about Jiahe's approach.

As far as he knows, it was in the early 80s that Golden Harvest decided to enter North America again, pushing its kung fu kid Cheng Long to the world.

However, after shooting several films such as "Cannonball Run" and "The Killer", Cheng Long's international reputation still did not improve, so he had no choice but to retreat to Hong Kong.

It wasn't until the release of the "Red Fan District" in the 90s that Cheng Long successfully entered the North American market and became an international movie star.

"Look at this report." Xu Guanwen handed over a stack of newspapers.

Xu Guanwu took it over and took a look, and saw the title of the headline read "Shaw Brothers goes all out to go overseas, joins forces with the British Salty Horse Company to create the most terrifying film, and is determined to surpass "The Exorcist""

"Seven Gold Corpses?!" Xu Guanwu couldn't help laughing when he saw the specially prominent bold characters.

The film "Seven Golden Corpses" can be regarded as the first of its kind in zombie kung fu films, and it is a large-scale production that combines Chinese and Western styles. The actors also select the popular fried chicken under Shaw Brothers, and cooperate with the most famous horror master in Britain.

When it was released, Shaw Brothers also vigorously promoted it, touting it as "the scariest film ever made", comparable to "The Exorcist".

But it's a pity that this film has too many mixes, including the zombies in Xiangxi, China, and Dracula in the UK;

The audience was clouded and confused, which led to a disastrous box office failure, and within ten years, no one dared to make a zombie film.

Xu Guanwu knew that this "Seven Golden Corpses" was bound to lose money, so he couldn't help being amused when he saw Shaw's publicity so vigorously now and how he was showing his teeth and claws.

"Golden Harvest won't enter North America just because Shaw Brothers entered the European market, right?" Xu Guanwu laughed.

"That's the reason, and it's also because Bruce Lee's "Enter the Dragon" was so popular. With an investment of 10,000+ US dollars, the box office in the United States has reached more than 3000 million US dollars." Xu Guanwen clapped his hands and said, "Jiahe is now a hit. Hong, naturally wants to take advantage of the victory and pursue it."

"It's not that simple to enter the North American market." Xu Guanwu waved his hand and said disapprovingly.

Bruce Lee was able to become famous all over the world because of the right time, place and people.

Golden Harvest wants to copy the legend of Bruce Lee, it can almost be said that it is as difficult as climbing the sky, and it would be strange not to be disgraced.

"Then do you decide to go or not?" Xu Guanwen asked Xu Guanwu.

Xu Guanwu pondered for a while, "I plan to go."

Xu Guanwen had a look of extreme disappointment on his face, and he seemed to have aged ten years in an instant.

"Hey! I wanted to persuade you again, but forget it... Everyone has their own ambitions..." Xu Guanwen muttered.

"Brother, I said I'm going to the United States, but I didn't say anything about it." Xu Guanwu waved his hand and said, "If there is anything, we can still call."

"That's the only way to go, second brother, your wings will become hard when you grow up. Big brother really can't always protect you like a hen, it's time for you to go outside and wander around." Xu Guanwen said sadly.

"Brother, don't worry." Xu Guanwu also said very moved.

……

After deciding to go to North America, Xu Guanwu became busy in the next few days.

Although Xu's father and Xu's mother are worried that their son will go to the United States alone, they also know that their son will not help his mother when he grows up, and sooner or later he will learn to be independent.

So they didn't say any more dissuading words, and they were all busy packing for their second son.

I heard that it is still cold in North America. The old couple got a thick woolen coat from somewhere, and it was one foot high when folded. They specially told their son to put it on as soon as he got off the plane.

Xu Guanwu saw that the fur coat took up half of the box, leaving no room for other items.The old couple also tried to bring some special food to the past, so as not to eat good food, Xu Guanwu was so moved that he almost shed tears while he was dumbfounded.

After packing up his luggage, Xu Guanwu was busy going to the banquet again in the next few days.

When Hong Jingbao heard that Xu Guanwu was going to fly to the United States, he specially set aside one night to see Xu Guanwu off with all the martial artists of the Hong family's class.

At the banquet, Hong Jingbao was very excited, holding his wine glass and said loudly: "Mr. Xu, I am a martial artist who doesn't know how to speak, but I am a very loyal person. I don't say who is good to me, but I know it in my heart. Sanmao can become this director today. People inside and outside the industry say it’s just luck, and they are all waiting to see how I die. But Mr. Xu has always valued me and encouraged me since the day he saw me. Promote me. I am able to stand out among the dragon and tiger warriors and become the first director. I am very grateful to Mr. Xu. Mr. Xu, I know you can’t drink well, so you can drink as much as you want, I will do it!”

As Hong Jingbao drank it all in one gulp, everyone present applauded.

When the martial artists drink, the cups are always two taels.

Xu Guanwu wanted to take a sip to deal with it, but was moved by Hong Jingbao's pride, he also picked up the wine glass and drank it down in one gulp, "Everyone, I don't drink much, so I only drink this one."

The spicy drink slid down his throat, causing Xu Guanwu to cough immediately.

"Brother Sanmao, you should toast three glasses of toast. Mr. Xu has such a light drinker that he drank one. You have such a good drinker, so you should drink more." Zeng Zhiwei smiled from the side.

Hong Jingbao saw that Xu Guanwu drank a full glass of wine knowing that he knew that his capacity for alcohol was not good, and immediately felt that he had a lot of face. He immediately laughed when he heard Zeng Zhiwei's provocation, poured two more glasses of wine, and finished it all in one go.

After Hong Jingbao, Cheng Long also stood up and thanked Xu Guanwu for promoting him to be the leading actor.

Xu Guanwu would hurt the heart of the future big brother in the film industry, so he also had a drink.

After Cheng Long, Yuan Biao and Zeng Zhiwei stood up and thanked Xu Guanwu for giving them the opportunity to show their faces.

Xu Guanwu couldn't bear the face, so he drank another cup.

Next, the other martial artists stood up together and thanked Xu Guanwu for giving them a bite to eat when the market was so sluggish.

So Xu Guanwu drank another cup.

After drinking this cup, Xu Guanwu felt drunk and was about to vomit.

"Mr. Xu, let's take you back first." Seeing Xu Guanwu's flushed cheeks and blurred eyes, Hong Jingbao said quickly, knowing that he had drunk too much.

Xu Guanwu nodded in bewilderment, but was held up by Cheng Long and Yuan Biao and sent downstairs.

"Mr. Xu, we will take you home." Brother Cheng Long said.

"Who are you?" Xu Guanwu couldn't help but wondered, his drunken eyes were blurred, and he saw people as three shadows.

"I'm Yuanlou." Brother Cheng Long saw Xu Guanwu drunk after only a few glasses of wine, it was really funny.

"Yuanlou, oh, I got it!" Xu Guanwu cracked his mouth and laughed, "Your name is not Yuanlou, you should be called Cheng Long. Your name is Cheng Long, and you will become popular in the future."

"Okay, I'll be called Cheng Long from now on." Brother Cheng Long also felt that "Cheng Long" was louder than "Yuan Lou", so he quickly agreed.

"I'm going back to the United States, and you will definitely not be able to guess why." Xu Guanwu laughed.

"Why?" Yuan Biao and Cheng Long asked curiously together.

"Because I'm going on a road trip, and sooner or later I'll send you to the United States for development. Hong Kong is a pond, and the United States is the vast ocean." Xu Guanwu laughed.

Yuan Biao and Cheng Long looked at each other with uncontrollable surprise and shock in their eyes.
