The king of ghost horse comedy

Chapter 61 Dilemma
Taking the flight back to Hong Kong, when picking up the plane, Xu Guanwu found that his elder brother Xu Guanwen was a bit haggard, and couldn't help feeling a little strange.

It stands to reason that the two films "Snake Shaped Hands" and "Fat Qian Han" both performed well at the box office in Taiwan and Southeast Asia, and there are frequent success reports. Why does the eldest brother still have a forced smile?
"Ah SAM, what happened, why is the eldest brother so unhappy?" Xu Guanwu asked quietly.

Xu Guanjie secretly glanced at the eldest brother in the front driver's seat, and said in a low voice: "Golden Harvest has issued a banning order in the industry, not allowing our films to be screened in Golden Harvest theaters, so people in the company are panicking now."

Xu Guanwu frowned, "The box office results of "The Serpentine Hand" and "Fat Qian Han" are both good, and our company is almost the backbone of Golden Harvest Cinemas. Zou Wenhuai won't be so short-sighted, right? For the distribution rights of the two films, rush reject us?"

"Golden Harvest has recently recruited Wu Siyuan and Yuan Heping, set up a satellite subsidiary to shoot kung fu movies, and sent Wu Yusen to make comedy movies, so they have nothing to fear." Xu Guanjie whispered.

Xu Guanwu suddenly realized that Hong Kong movies are used to following the trend, and when a theme becomes popular, countless movies follow suit.

I think that after the "Mr. Zombie" became popular, nearly ten zombie films were released in Hong Kong in just half a year, and the audience only got tired of watching it until they vomited.

The popularity of "Ghost and Horse Twin Stars" and "Fat Qian Han" has made many Hong Kong film companies see the box office appeal of comedy movies.The birth of the Kung Fu humorous film "Snake-shaped Diao Hand" has pointed out a new direction for many Kung Fu film directors.

Hong Kong filmmakers who are greedy for profit naturally want to follow suit and rush to shoot.

And once the audience's interest in watching movies is stimulated, it will not slump quickly.Therefore, these follow-up works can also achieve quite good box office in a short period of time.

In the next six months to a year, Golden Harvest doesn't have to worry about whether there will be no movies released. No wonder they will take pains to block the Xu Brothers company.

After figuring out the cause and effect, Xu Guanwu sneered slightly, thinking to himself that Zou Wenhuai is worthy of being a hero in the Hong Kong film industry.

"As soon as "Rocky" is released, I can get tens of millions of dollars. At that time, I can buy and build my own theater chain. You Zou Wenhuai wants to drive us away, how can it be so easy?"

"Second brother, how's your film going? How far has it been filmed?" Xu Guanying asked with a cough when he realized that the atmosphere in the car was too depressing.

"The filming has been completed a long time ago, and it has been handed over to National Entertainment to help me distribute it." Xu Guanwu smiled.

"squeak!"

Xu Guanwen's body trembled, his hands trembled, and the car veered, almost hitting the railing on the side of the road. Fortunately, he stopped the car in time.

"Ah Wu, how long did it take you to shoot that film, why did you finish it so quickly? Don't mess around." Xu Guanwen turned his head and roared with a livid face.

Seeing that his elder brother was so anxious, Xu Guanwu couldn't help panicking, and quickly apologized with a smile: "Don't worry, elder brother! I won't make fun of 100 million US dollars. The whole process of the film is supervised by professionals to ensure the progress of the filming. The shooting quality of the film is guaranteed. I have shown it to the eight major film distribution companies, and they all said that the filming is good."

"It took less than a month to shoot, can we really guarantee the quality?" Xu Guanwen asked suspiciously.

Now Hong Kong shoots a movie, unless it is a bad movie with a small investment, it usually takes two months to shoot, just to better ensure the quality of the movie.

How can it be possible for a Hollywood film that has stricter requirements than Hong Kong films to shoot for only one month?Isn't that a bad movie?
Xu Guanwu was also a little helpless about his eldest brother's doubts. It is true that "Rocky" was only filmed for 28 days, but the quality of the film was indeed guaranteed.

Moreover, Xu Guanwu still vaguely remembers that the "Rocky" in his previous life also took less than a month to shoot, and the quality of the film was quite high, and he even won the Academy Award for Best Picture.

Facing Xu Guanwen's doubts at this moment, Xu Guanwu couldn't explain too much, so he could only smile and say: "Don't worry, brother! Whether it is good or bad, you will know after the movie is released."

Seeing that his second brother was so confident, Xu Guanwen couldn't say anything more, so he sighed and continued driving.

"Second brother, aren't the distribution of Hollywood films handed over to the eight major film companies? Why are you working with this national entertainment company? What kind of company are they? Why haven't you heard of them before?" Xu Guanjie was puzzled asked.

"National Entertainment is a cinema chain company like Nanyang Cathay Pacific, the seventh largest theater chain in the United States, and I have no choice but to cooperate with them," Xu Guanwu explained.

"The eight major film companies saw that I was from Hong Kong and had no fundamental contacts in the United States, so they desperately lowered the price and wanted to buy out my film for 150 million."

"Wow, 150 million US dollars! Second brother, you made 50 US dollars in less than a month." Xu Guanying exclaimed in surprise.

"I want to buy this movie for 150 million. It's so whimsical. It blinds them." Xu Guanwu shook his head disdainfully.

"With an investment of 100 million US dollars, it can be sold for 150 million in less than a month. Second brother, you don't want such a high profit. What else do you want?" Xu Guanjie asked in surprise.

Normally, if a Hong Kong movie is released to Europe and the United States, the copy will only sell for hundreds of thousands of dollars at most.

150 million US dollars can already be called a sky-high price.

To be honest, even Xu Guanwen couldn't help but feel a little moved when he heard the offer.

"Hmph, I'm confident that this movie will break through the $[-] million mark." Xu Guanwu said.

Saying a word shocked Xu Guanwen and almost caused another car accident.

Xu Guanwen stopped the car in a hurry, "500 million dollars, do you really dare to think about it? How did you become so unrealistic after a trip to the United States? Bruce Lee's "Enter the Dragon" is only [-] million dollars, you just Dare to think [-] million? Are you better than Bruce Lee?"

"Brother, I made action movies, and Mr. Bruce Lee made kung fu movies. The two genres are different." Xu Guanwu smiled wryly.

"Hmph! I think you're a toad who wants to eat swan meat. You're crazy!" Xu Guanwen glared at him angrily, and said angrily.

Xu Guanwu didn't know how to explain it, so he had to smile wryly.

At this time, a pair of warm hands gently held Xu Guanwu's hand, and squeezed it tightly twice.

"I believe in you!" Zhao Yazhi leaned into Xu Guanwu's ear and whispered.

The mouth is warm and moist, fresh as blue.

Xu Guanwu nodded, and the depression in his heart disappeared in an instant.
