The king of ghost horse comedy

Chapter 576 Movie Rating System
Zeng Zhiwei couldn't help twitching his face when he heard it, feeling that Xu Guanwu's words hit him in the face, which made him feel very painful.But the two subordinates who followed Zeng Zhiwei didn't know how powerful they were. Hearing what Xu Guanwu said, they couldn't help standing up and glaring at Xu Guanwu, looking like wild dogs who wanted to eat someone.

And at the beginning, it was just a remnant army defeated.But if you come out and don't use your brain, it's really terrible.I don't know how Zeng Zhiwei educated his subordinates. Throwing bombs in front of him is enough. Now a few juniors dare to bark their teeth at Xu Guanwu.

Zeng Zhiwei also noticed the change of his subordinates at this time, and quickly stood up and shouted at them, "What are you going to do? Sit down, sit down, in front of Mr. Xu, there is no place for you to be presumptuous."

The two subordinates sat down with stern eyes, still looking very unconvinced.Seeing this, Xu Guanwu couldn't help smiling, "Zhiwei, you two men are quite loyal. Not bad, not bad, it seems that you are quite good at selecting people."

Zeng Zhiwei didn't know whether he really didn't understand, or pretended not to understand, he grinned and said, "Thank you Mr. Xu for your compliment. But Mr. Xu, I still want to ask you to raise your hand. Those children are still young after all."

Xu Guanwu smiled, "It is precisely because they are still young that I want them to stay for a few more years. Zhiwei, don't think that I am deliberately punishing them. In fact, I am saving them. Think about it, If these people are released now, how long can they live outside? How many people want to get rid of them to ask me for credit? Of course, it is absolutely impossible for those people to be ordered by me, but you have people who are willing to stand up for you , how many people in Hong Kong do you think would be willing to stand up for me? Apart from that, how many people want to get in the position by getting rid of them? They can make a name for themselves by throwing bombs at me, and naturally some people will do it They are in power. This is how the world is like, they will definitely die when they come out. But if you stay in the police station, you can still survive, do you need me to tell you this truth?"

Zeng Zhiwei was stunned for a moment when he heard Xu Guanwu's words, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that what Xu Guanwu said made sense.In fact, he also knew that Xu Guanwu had a power underground, and he must have used the help of this power to get rid of Li Hao and the Ma brothers back then.Although I don't know how powerful this force is, but in terms of the funds in Xu Guanwu's hands, he can definitely raise an elite soldier, and if he wants to expand the scale of his men, he is afraid that he will throw tens of millions at will. A group of people can be pulled together quickly.

Besides, young people in Hong Kong are very impetuous now, and they all dream of getting rich and getting ahead, just like his five idiots, they all want to be famous right away.Now it is true that because of the bombing of Xu's movie theater and the injury of Xu Guanwu, they became famous figures in the Jianghu overnight, and they suddenly became famous among the brothers on the road.But as Xu Guanwu said, since you want to get ahead by killing others, others can still get to the top by killing you.This is the way things are in the world. If you want to take a shortcut, you have to pay a price.

Seeing Zeng Zhiwei's pensive look on his face, Xu Guanwu knew that he had listened, so he stopped talking.In fact, at the beginning, he really wanted to get rid of those five idiots.But after he calmed down, he dismissed the idea again.To be honest, if something happened to those five boys, people would immediately suspect that it was Xu Guanwu's revenge, which would definitely be very detrimental to him.After all, Xu Guanwu is a legitimate businessman. If old age is associated with murder, black X, etc., it will also hurt his image.And for businessmen, is there anything more important than their own image?
So after Xu Guanwu figured it out, not only did he not send someone to assassinate them, but instead he told the police to protect them, at least to keep them safe from accidents during the interrogation, otherwise Xu Guanwu must be the object of suspicion.After receiving Xu Guanwu's reminder, the police also stepped up their security efforts, but whether something will happen is beyond Xu Guanwu's control.In fact, he reminded the police that he was disregarding the relationship, and he would not be able to blame himself for future accidents.

……

After Zeng Zhiwei pondered for a while, he figured out the joints, and stopped pressing Xu Guanwu.As for the second thing he wanted to do, because the first thing hadn't been done, he didn't mention it any more.He could see that Xu Guanwu was dissatisfied with him, so he probably wouldn't do him this favor.

Zeng Zhiwei went back disappointed with two of his subordinates. He didn't get a single thing done this time, which made him feel very humiliated.But since things are already like this, he has no other way to think about it.Even the last lifeline snapped, any ideas? !

Hong Jingbao stayed and sat with Xu Guanwu for a while, "Mr. Xu, I was reckless in what happened this time. If I had known earlier, I would not have made my mark."

"Sanmao, it's okay, I won't blame you, on the contrary, I still appreciate your loyalty." Xu Guanwu smiled and said.

"Well, I heard that he has broken up with Golden Harvest now, and his film company has no more movies to shoot. He has to support so many people without work, and his life may be difficult in the future." Hong Jingbao sighed again. tone way.

Xu Guanwu couldn't help but look gloomy when he heard this, "Actually, seeing Zhiwei in such a state made me feel very sad, but the road was made by himself after all, and he did it all by himself, so don't worry about him anymore. gone."

"What Mr. Xu said is true." Hong Jingbao nodded, and suddenly said with a smile, "Mr. Xu, "The House of Gold and Jade" is about to finish."

"Oh, is that so?" Xu Guanwu's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help saying happily, "This is very good, but the post-production must be done well, especially the English dubbing and subtitles, we must do our best. Details determine success or failure, we You can’t let your success fall short because of a little thing not done well.”

"Mr. Xu, don't worry, I will do it." Hong Jingbao said with a smile.

"Okay, then you can go to work." Xu Guanwu nodded and said, "Sanmao, I am optimistic about your strength. With your talent, you will not be confined to this small place like Hong Kong."

"Yes, thank you Mr. Xu." Hearing Xu Guanwu's compliment, Hong Jingbao couldn't help but said with a smile.

……

Two days after Zeng Zhiwei returned, news spread that he had resigned from his position as the manager of Weihe Film Company and went to Taiwan for development.Xu Guanwu was not surprised when he heard this.Zeng Zhiwei's father had originally taken refuge in Taiwan. He was the leader of Lu Le, one of the four major detectives, and took care of bribes for him.Later, Lu Le stepped down to avoid Taiwan, and Zeng Zhiwei's father followed him.Because there were no extradition regulations between Taiwan and Hong Kong at that time, and Lu Le had earlier connections with Taiwanese gangs, Taiwan became his refuge.

Zeng Zhiwei also has some connections with Taiwan because of his father.However, Taiwan was not very developed in the past few years. Compared with Hong Kong, it is like a countryside, so Zeng Zhiwei would rather stay in Hong Kong to play football than go to Taiwan with his father.But now that the tiger is in Pingyang, I have no choice but to go to Taiwan.

In fact, going to Taiwan for development also has three advantages. The first is to get rid of those vampires.Since he went to Taiwan to develop, the subordinates in Hong Kong naturally don't need him to pay for support; the second is to downplay the impact of the bombing incident.No matter how important an incident is, it will fade away after a year or so. He went to Taiwan to hide for a while, and the emperor was so far away that no one paid attention.Waiting for this sensitive period to come back to develop, is still a hero; third, Zeng Zhiwei also wants to use the capital of Taiwanese film companies to develop, and he has basically broken up with Golden Harvest in Hong Kong.In this bomb throwing incident, he was thrown out by Zou Wenhuai as a scapegoat.If Zeng Zhiwei still wants to be in the Hong Kong film industry again, it is imperative to introduce a new capital.However, no one in Hong Kong is willing to invest in him at present, so Taiwanese film companies have become his life-saving magic weapon.

In fact, many of Zeng Zhiwei's previous films, such as "Kicking the Pavilion", "Short Boy and Love", "The Frog Prince", "Nongben Love" and the like, have achieved fairly good box office in Taiwan, allowing him to be in Taiwan. In the eyes of filmmakers, it is still a good baby.Although Golden Harvest is no longer rare to want him, Zeng Zhiwei is still a sought-after item in Taiwan.

……

Two days after Zeng Zhiwei went to Taiwan, the trial of the bomb-throwing case officially began. After a week of trial, the five people were finally convicted in the first instance. The oldest 20-year-old blaster was sentenced to ten years in prison, and the other two adult criminals were sentenced to prison Sentenced to seven and six years in prison.Two other juvenile offenders were sentenced to two years in a reformatory.In terms of sentencing, it is not the heaviest, but it is not light either, especially the person who was sentenced to ten years in prison, and he appealed in court.Several other people also appealed one after another, and the case still needs to continue to be heard.

After the bombing incident, there was an upsurge in discussing the movie rating system in Hong Kong. Many people called for the early implementation of the movie rating system to prevent young people from being influenced by bad movies.

Hong Kong promulgated the "Film Censorship Ordinance" as early as the [-]s, but it did not clarify the principles and standards for film review.This makes this law full of unlimited maneuverability.Films from major companies like Shaw Brothers, MP & GI, etc., can pass the inspection safely even if there is content that needs to be deleted, as long as they say hello to the inspection office.But for the films of some independent film companies, they set up cards from various parties to put forward various opinions, wishing they could just block the films directly.

Wu Siyuan wrote in his memoirs that in the 70s he filmed "The Storm of Integrity", because the film contained corruption and bribery in the police, so his film was stuck at the inspection office, and he almost Get into prison.

However, in recent years, with the rise of the Chinese in Hong Kong, the growth of the economy, and the openness of people's ideas, the inspection system has become more and more mediocre. The emergence of movies such as "The Killing List", although relying on bloody violence and horror to attract a large number of audiences and win a good box office, they still had a bad influence after all.

The bombing incident is a concrete example. Of course, there are other series of crimes committed by teenagers. For example, the film "Mountain Dog" is actually based on reality.Therefore, people are calling for a new film censorship system, especially hoping that Hong Kong will introduce the film classification system of countries such as Britain and the United States.

However, the Hong Kong government has not expressed its position on people's appeal.In addition to the pressure from the film industry, it also stems from the Hong Kong government's attitude towards the mainland.Because it is uncertain whether the mainland will take back Hong Kong in the future, the Hong Kong government has not yet decided how to deal with Hong Kong's fate.If Hong Kong is really taken back by the mainland one day, the British naturally don't want to give Hong Kong to China in a clean and tidy manner.So it is bound to cause them some trouble at that time, and Hong Kong films are currently one of the powerful driving forces of Hong Kong's economic growth, with an annual market size of tens of billions of Hong Kong dollars, which not only creates a large number of job opportunities, but also improves Hong Kong. influence in the world.If the mainland receives a mess of Hong Kong movies, then it will be wonderful.
