The king of ghost horse comedy

Chapter 633 Departure for America
When Xu Guanwu heard that Zhao Yazhi recommended Deng Lijun to star in "Midnight Ring", he couldn't help being stunned for a moment. As far as he knew, this movie caused a sensation when it was released in Japan, and this movie has since become a representative of Japanese horror movies.

If Deng Lijun came to play the female reporter in this film, it is indeed possible to use this film to maintain her already high popularity.Moreover, the most important thing in "Midnight Ring" is the exaggeration of the atmosphere, and the foreshadowing of Sadako's identity, the acting skills of the actors are not very important.

Deng Lijun has also acted in some movies before. Although her acting skills are not very good, she has at least accumulated some experience and is fully qualified for the role of a female reporter.

"If Teresa is allowed to act, it doesn't seem to be impossible." Xu Guanwu thought for a while, but he also heard from Deng Lijun that she wanted to take a good rest this time, and then wanted to have a baby for herself.If she really wants to film "Midnight Ring", she probably doesn't have much time left for her.

"I'll ask her later to see what she thinks. If she wants to act, we'll make arrangements. If she wants to study abroad, then we shouldn't force it." Xu Guanwu thought for a while.

Zhao Yazhi nodded, and suddenly smiled, "Husband, if Teresa doesn't act, can you give me this chance?"

"You want to act in this movie?!" Xu Guanwu looked at Zhao Yazhi and asked.

"I think this story is really good, I want to try acting it out." Zhao Yazhi said eagerly.

Xu Guanwu couldn't help smiling, his wife's eyesight is indeed good, the movie "Midnight Ring" is indeed a classic, and the most important thing is that the script is so well written.Especially Sadako Yamamura, the female ghost, is even more classic. The shot of her crawling out of the TV is regarded as a classic scene in horror movies, and the classic is a mess.

"Honey, you just acted in "Mad Robbery". A few days ago, you planned to act in "Crash to the Front", and now you plan to act in "Midnight Ring". Are you planning to compete with ghost movies?" Xu Guanwu laughed He laughed, "You can't act in this film, I don't want you to act in it."

"Why?!" Zhao Yazhi was very surprised, and Lin Qingxia also looked at Xu Guanwu in surprise, "Is it because you want Teresa to act in this movie, so even I can't act?" Zhao Yazhi asked with some sourness.

Xu Guanwu waved his hand, "No, why would I think that way? In fact, it's like this. It's easy to attract dirty things when making ghost movies. You've already acted in a ghost movie this year, so don't do it again. It's a movie. Otherwise, if you really attract dirty things, you will be in trouble."

Xu Guanwu didn't fabricate these words to deceive Zhao Yazhi. In fact, people who make ghost movies in Hong Kong don't end well.Just like Lin Zhengying in "Mr. Zombie" died young, and Xu Guanying also died relatively early. Wang Xiaofeng, who played the female ghost, suffered from severe mental illness for a time. His apprentice Qian Xiaohao was caught secretly taking pictures of girls' skirts with his mobile phone In the end, Li Saifeng was caught and raped in bed by her husband and so on.

The actors of another well-known horror film "The Bad List" also encountered many accidents. Yu Qixia first encountered a car accident in Australia, resulting in high paraplegia, and was later diagnosed with cancer, and died early.Zheng Zeshi's investment went bankrupt in the 90s, and he owed tens of millions.Another actor, Jason, also passed away early, and he was only in his forties when he died.

In the ghost film "A Chinese Ghost Story", Zhang Guorong also committed suicide by jumping off a building when he was in his prime.Wang Tuoxian suffered frequent emotional setbacks and was forced to retire when he was most popular.Li Zhi also quit the entertainment industry early...

In the Hong Kong film industry, filming a ghost film seems to have endless troubles. I don’t know when bad luck will come to my door.Although Xu Guanwu didn't believe in the theory of strange powers and chaotic spirits, he always had some grievances in his heart, so he really didn't want Zhao Yazhi to act in ghost movies again.

After Zhao Yazhi heard Xu Guanwu's words, although she didn't really believe that such a thing would happen, seeing him swearing, she couldn't help but feel a little creepy in her heart, so she stopped talking about it.

……

When I got home, I spent a good time with my son, and my daughter played for a long time, enjoying the family happiness.

The next day, Xu Guanwu went to Deng Lijun's home to ask her opinion.

"Awu, you're here." Deng Lijun let Xu Guanwu in, and then poked his head to see if anyone was coming.

Xu Guanwu smiled, "Don't worry, I came here by myself."

Deng Lijun nodded, "What reason are you looking for to come here, won't Azhi and Qingxia be suspicious?"

Xu Guanwu waved his hand, "Don't worry, they know I'm here."

"En?!" Deng Lijun looked at Xu Guanwu suspiciously, not knowing what he meant.

Xu Guanwu smiled, "Yesterday Ah Zhi advised you not to go to the United States. She wanted you to act in the movie "Midnight Ring", which is the story I told you at the vacation house that day. She said that this movie will definitely It will be successful, and I want to keep your popularity high. So I came to ask you what you think."

Deng Lijun was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head and thought for a while, but then shook his head, "Awu, I really can't think of it, why don't you give me a reference. Do you want me to study in the United States, or do you want to stay?" Filming in Hong Kong?"

Xu Guanwu thought for a while, "If I think about it from my selfish point of view, I want you to study in the United States so that we can have a baby. If I think about it from your point of view, I still recommend you to study in the United States. Teresa , the two of us are not too young. If we don’t want a baby now, we won’t be able to find a more suitable opportunity in the future. You don’t want to wait until you’re in your 30s to be an advanced mother, right? I’ll be in my 50s by then Well, if I take the baby out to play someday, others will think it is my grandson. Besides, the movie can be shot at any time, there is no rush."

Hearing what he said, Deng Lijun couldn't help but nodded, "Awu, I listen to you, I'm going to the United States. In fact, I also want to have a child, so that my life's struggle will not be in vain. Empty."

Xu Guanwu smiled, "Since this is the case, it's a deal. I'll arrange for you to live in the United States later, and then I will find a chance to find you in the United States."

Deng Lijun nodded, "Okay, then I'll wait for you in the United States."

"Then where do you plan to live? I have many friends in Los Angeles." Xu Guanwu thought for a while and said, "But the scenery in Hawaii is more beautiful. If you like sea views, it's pretty good there."

"Let's talk about it when we get there. In fact, I have a few friends over there." Deng Lijun waved his hand.

Xu Guanwu was stunned for a moment, and asked suspiciously, "Is your friend a man or a woman?"

"Okay, don't be jealous, it's a female friend." Deng Lijun couldn't help answering with a smile when he saw him asking this question.

Xu Guanwu also smiled, "That's good. I'll buy you a mansion on Malibu Beach first. After you go there, you will live there for the time being. At least you have a place to stay. Then you want to meet friends, want to It’s good to see the sea view there, or it’s good to develop in Hollywood, how about it?”

Hearing what he said, Deng Lijun nodded and agreed, but she still asked with a smile, "With my strength, can I also develop in Hollywood?"

Xu Guanwu smiled, "I'm not sure about the others, as long as I'm with you for a day, you can sing in space if you want."

Hearing what he said, Deng Lijun couldn't help laughing happily.

……

After talking about the business, Xu Guanwu stayed with Deng Lijun for a while, and then returned home by car.

"Husband, what does Sister Li Jun say, will she appear in the movie "Midnight Ring"?" Lin Qingxia asked with a smile.

"Yeah, how did Teresa think about it, and why did you talk for so long?" Zhao Yazhi asked curiously while teasing Xiao Simo.

Xu Guanarmed looked helpless and sighed, "Teresa said that she had made up her mind and insisted on studying in the United States. I tried to persuade her for a long time but couldn't make her change her mind."

"Then there is no other way. Since she wants to study abroad, let her go." Lin Qingxia nodded and said, "Oh, I thought she could stay with me in Hong Kong, but it's only been two days She's leaving again. Really..."

"Don't be unhappy. If you are homesick, why don't I ask someone to invite my uncle and aunt?" Xu Guanwu said with his arms around Lin Qingxia.

"Oh, it's a pity, such a good movie." Zhao Yazhi sighed and said, "Ah Wu, what about "Midnight Bell", can it be shelved like this?"

Xu Guanwu smiled, "It's okay to put it on hold for now. The movie "Midnight Ring" requires the director to have a high level of atmosphere rendering skills. Judging from the current directors of the company, few directors have such deep skills. Yes. So in order to avoid ruining the film by excessive filming, I would rather wait a little longer until a director with real ability appears."

Zhao Yazhi seemed to believe it or not, but fortunately she didn't continue to ask, which made Xu Guanwu feel a little relieved.

"By the way, husband, did Miss Li Jun say when she will leave for the United States? I want to see her off at the airport." Lin Qingxia asked again.

"Wait a few more days, it depends on how she arranges it." Xu Guanwu said, "But you don't have to worry, she just went to the United States, not to Mars, you will meet again sooner or later. "

……

Just when Xu Guanwu arranged for Deng Lijun to go to the United States, good news came from the United States.Co-starred by Cheng Long, Hong Jingbao and Yuan Biao, "Golden Jade Mantang" achieved great results when it was released in the United States. The box office has reached 4000 million US dollars in two months since its release, which is quite a surprising result.

You must know that the movie "Golden Jade Mantang" is just a low-cost investment. The total cost of the whole process is only 1000 million Hong Kong dollars, which is only 200 million US dollars. Now it has achieved a box office of 4000 million US dollars. It is really a big profit And special earned.Although the movie "Golden Jade" did not break the box office record set by "Project A", it is also a happy event for Hong Kong films.

Because this film proved for the first time that even if Hong Kong movies do not use kung fu so frequently, they can still attract American audiences with other themes.

The success of "The House of Gold and Jade" also gave Xu Guanwu great confidence, because this drama is his first attempt to promote Chinese culture, combining traditional Chinese food with Chinese Kung Fu, and introducing it to everyone in the form of a movie.Seeing such a high box office result, Xu Guanwu knew he had succeeded.

With the foundation of the film "The House of Gold and Jade", we can release films with various themes such as Chinese calligraphy and painting, Chinese traditional medicine, Chinese clothing, Chinese opera, Chinese music, etc. in the future.As long as it is well packaged, it seems that the combination of Chinese food and Chinese Kung Fu will attract people's attention.

For example, Chinese calligraphy and painting can be combined with Hollywood cartoons, Chinese medicine can also be combined with Kung Fu, and clothing, opera, music, etc. can also be combined with the film industry. This is a very good way to promote Chinese culture.

When Hong Jingbao, Cheng Long, and Yuan Biao finished their promotion in North America and set off to return to Hong Kong, they were greeted like a returning hero.

Hong Kong Film Club specially invited the dragon and lion dance team to parade from Kai Tak Airport all the way to Causeway Bay, in order to commend the three of them for their contribution to the promotion of Hong Kong films.

Although Xu Guanwu is also happy for the three of them, but because Deng Lijun is leaving for the United States today, his mood is still half sea and half flame.
