The king of ghost horse comedy

Chapter 648 Christmas schedule
When Liu Luanxiong received a deposit of 1000 million US dollars and was unable to hold onto the contract, Steve Wanda appeared beside Xu Guanwu.

"Boss, that Liu Luanxiong has already taken the bait." Steve Wanda said with a smile.

Xu Guanwu nodded, "Very well, then continue with the original plan."

Stevie Wanda agreed, turned and walked out.

When Xu Guanwu Shiran returned home, he saw his son slowly practicing crawling on the carpet. He couldn't help hugging him and sucking his cheek hard, "Hey, dear son, call 'Daddy' and listen."

"He can't even purr, how can he call daddy." Zhao Yazhi smiled from the side, "Besides, I usually take him with him, so he should learn to say 'Mom' first."

"Put him down first, children crawling on the ground are good for their health." Lin Qingxia said with a smile on the side.

Ever since Zhao Yazhi also moved to the mansion in Mid-Levels, the two of them often visited each other, and Xiao Sichen and Xiao Simo also got tired of being together all day long, childhood sweethearts, childhood sweethearts.

"Okay, okay, stop hugging, stop hugging, let's go down and play with my sister." Xu Guanwu said as he was about to put his son on the ground.

At this time, Xiao Simo cried rather uncooperatively.

Xu Guanwu panicked for a while, and quickly hugged his son again, and sure enough, his son stopped crying immediately.

"Ha, you see, it's my son who cares about me hugging him." Xu Guanwu flaunted proudly, "Come on, dear son, daddy hugs him, don't cry!"

"Stinky fart, if we hug our son, he won't make trouble." Zhao Yazhi laughed.

"Then come and give him a hug." Xu Guanwu said as he handed his son over, and Zhao Yazhi reached out to catch it. As soon as it touched his son's clothes, the little guy made a fuss, twisting and twisting in Xu Guanwu's arms. , Just don't drill into mother's arms.

"Hey, dear son, you still care about dad, come and play with us." Xu Guanwu said while holding back his smile while sitting on the sofa with his son in his arms.

Zhao Yazhi was embarrassed for a while, turned around and grabbed her son's little face, "You little white-eyed wolf, I coax you and accompany you every day, but now I can't even hug you. Your father doesn't hug you once in a few days , you still care about him so much. Is it true that all sons are closest to father?"

Lin Qingxia wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, she couldn't help enduring it very hard, seeing Xu Guanwu holding Xiao Simo, she couldn't help but her heart moved, and she hugged Xiao Sichen as well.

To be honest, Xiao Sichen has completely inherited all of her mother's good looks. She looks juicy at a young age, with big eyes, pretty nose, fair skin, and looks like a porcelain doll at first glance.At the same time, Xiao Sichen also inherited her mother's character, neither noisy nor noisy, gentle and quiet, absolutely a 100% good boy.

Xiao Simo looks a little like Xu Guanwu, with a slightly sunken nose and a round face, unlike his mother's oval face.His personality is probably the same as his mother's. He is a real troublemaker. Now that he is still young, he has started to get into trouble by crawling around. He has knocked down the wooden frame holding the vase several times, and once again, the flower pot almost hit him. head.Zhao Yazhi was so scared that she never dared to put these decorations in the house again.

"Come on, dear girl, you can also sit with Dad." Xu Guanwu saw that Lin Qingxia brought Xiao Sichen into her arms, and quickly smiled and stretched out her hands to hug her daughter, and put them on his lap together.

Xiao Simo was still not very honest sitting on her lap, twisting and turning around constantly, but Xiao Sichen was quiet and not naughty at all.

"Ah Wu, you have been so mysterious these days, what are you doing?" Zhao Yazhi asked suddenly.

"Have I been secretive these days?" Xu Guanwu asked doubtfully.

"Well, it's a little bit, what the hell are you busy with when you go out early and come back late?" Lin Qingxia also nodded and asked.

Xu Guanwu smiled, "I'm going to dig a hole for someone again."

"Digging holes?!" Zhao Yazhi blinked her eyes in doubt.

Xu Guanwu waved his hand, "What's going on, I'll tell you later."

"Hmph, it's like this again, it's really annoying." Zhao Yazhi wrinkled her nose and said.

……

Seeing that December is coming and Christmas is coming soon, the Hong Kong film industry is gradually becoming lively. Various posters have been pasted at the entrance of the theater, subway stations, bus stations and other places 20 days in advance. It's a big star, a big director, a big production, and the promotion is in full swing.

In North America, the movie "ET" has also started to be promoted. This movie is a sci-fi blockbuster filmed by Steven Spielberg after a year and a half. The investment cost of the whole movie is 500 million US dollars , the production cost of the protagonist ET alone is millions of dollars.A lot of special effects are used in the film, which can be described as one of the most powerful sci-fi films of this year.

In Hong Kong, Xu's Christmas release is Cheng Long, Hong Jingbao, and Yuan Biao's "Golden Jade Mantang".After the show was released in North America during the summer vacation, it won a very high box office.Now that the film is finally released in Hong Kong after a few months, the citizens of Hong Kong are a little impatient to wait.

The movie "Cannonball Run" has already been released before, and it has achieved very good box office results. Now everyone is eagerly waiting for the release of "A Man of Gold and Jade".This time, "A House of Gold and Jade" was screened simultaneously in Asia, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan, South Korea, and Nanyang, and the five places were released on the same day, which was unprecedented.Of course, Cheng Long, Hong Jingbao, Yuan Biao and others have to take the plane, and hurry up to run publicity along the way.But they came here in the same way in the United States, so I believe they have already adapted.

In addition to an action comedy "Golden Jade Mantang", Xu's also released "Community Angel" in the Christmas schedule, starring Zheng Wenya and Ren Daling.This is a romantic literary film, not only the love between Ren Daling and Zheng Wenya, but also the evening love of the elderly. It is a relatively in-depth work.

In addition to Xu's, Shaw's "Magic Palace Slaying the Dragon" was released by the great director Zhang Che.It tells the story of Song Qingshu, who has been feigning death since Zhang Wuji returned to the world, changed his appearance and became the national teacher of Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, and then stole the Yitian Sword and Dragon Sword successively, and also practiced the Nine Yin Manual and Nine Yang Magic. increase and become a hermaphrodite.Zhang Wuji and the Mongolian warrior Tiezhen met by chance. In order to eradicate Song Qingshu, the big devil, the two practiced martial arts diligently and finally solved the evil of the martial arts. (What an embarrassing plot)
The screenwriter of this film is the famous Ni Yan. He also added his best sci-fi elements into this film. For example, when Zhang Wuji and Tie Zhen fought against Song Qingshu, they used laser swords, and the duel venue was also in the same place. In an alien flying saucer, it is simply eye-catching.

This film is also promoted as Hong Kong's first sci-fi martial arts film, a transformational work of the great director Chang Cheh, and so on.In fact, this film is indeed Chang Cheh's transformational work.Hong Kong films have developed rapidly in recent years. Zhang Cheh, who was a big seller in the early years, has become more and more unable to do what he wants in the past two years.

Normally, his films sold 200 million yuan, which is already the sky-high. Back then, the million-level director was like an emperor.But now talented people come out in large numbers, the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead, and the new generation of directors such as Hong Jingbao, Wu Siyuan, Mai Jia, Zhang Jian, etc., have a box office of at least 500 million Hong Kong dollars. "Love in a Fallen City" has a second spring.

So Zhang Che knew that his own era had passed, but he himself was a person who refused to admit defeat, so he had to fight and fight again. This "Dragon Slaying in the Devil's Palace" was his ambitious work in an attempt to transform.It is no longer just the usual plots such as Kung Fu Boy's revenge, but it is full of special effects and sci-fi elements, trying to take advantage of the current popularity of sci-fi movies to regain its glory.

Because this film needs to use some special effects, the cost is naturally a bit more expensive. A total of more than 200 million Hong Kong dollars was spent on filming, which is five times the cost of other ordinary films.It can be seen that Sir Shao still trusts Zhang Che, an old courtier.He also hopes that Zhang Che can regain his glory and lead the Shaw Brothers out of the quagmire again.

However, when Xu Guanwu saw the promotion of this film, he almost burst out laughing, sci-fi plus martial arts, I really don't know what Shaw Brothers thought.

Xu Guanwu remembers that at the end of the 80s and the beginning of the 90s, there was indeed a wave of science fiction plus action movies in Hong Kong, such as Andy Lau's "Nine-One Condor Heroes" series, Mei Yanfang, Yang Ziqiong, Zhang Manyu's "Oriental Three Heroes" series, Xu Guanjie, "Red Square Flying Dragon" starring Li Lizhen, Zhang Manyu, etc., "Black Man" series directed by Xu Ke and starring Li Lianjie, etc., but these so-called sci-fi action films have all had poor box office results.

The reason is that in addition to the nondescript fusion of science fiction and action, the overly curious plot and exaggerated movements are also prone to visual fatigue.

In comparison, European and American sci-fi action films such as the "Matrix" series, "Terminator" series, "Predator" series, "Hulk" series, "Batman" series, etc., mainly highlight sci-fi elements, especially It is good at using a lot of special effects to stimulate the audience's visual nerves.

In comparison, Hong Kong's sci-fi action films rarely have special effects shots. No matter how advanced the technology is, they can only solve problems with fists.Just like the invisibility cloak that appeared in "Three Heroes of the East", it is actually more like a Taoist invisibility talisman, and the only sci-fi element is still nondescript.

Sci-fi action movies are not popular anymore, not to mention Shaw Brothers' weird sci-fi martial arts movie, it's just child's play.Xu Guanwu remembers watching a TV series with a similar theme when he was a child, called "Little Hero Dragon Whirlwind", and the theme song was quite nice.

That TV series starred Wu Qilong and Chen Zhipeng from the Little Tigers, with Gu Guanzhong and Zhu Baoyi as supporting roles, and there were real aliens and even flying saucers in the film.And there are a lot of magical elements in the film. For example, one person will turn into a bat at night, while the other person will turn into a stone during the day. Therefore, the two cannot meet until a solar eclipse occurs one day. (囧)

There are enough magical elements in this "Dragon Slayer in the Devil's Temple". You can become a hermaphrodite by practicing kung fu, and you can become a fairy by practicing martial arts... It's like a hodgepodge of all kinds of elements mixed together.It made Xu Guanwu think that the people of Shaw Brothers had lost their minds and went crazy. How could they come up with such a wonderful film? It's simply too weird.

Shaw Brothers, in addition to this "Dragon Slaying in the Devil's Palace", also launched a movie "Love for You" written by a newcomer. It tells the story of a son of a wealthy family chasing a Cinderella, but the film focuses on It's not funny, but it describes the journey from misunderstanding to love between two people.

However, because this drama was written by a newcomer and produced by the cult director Mou Dunfu, the Shaw Brothers had very limited publicity for it. They only published advertisements in newspapers for a few days, and didn't even print more posters. several copies.However, when Xu Guanwu saw that the screenwriter was Zhang Jianting, he still decided to find a chance to watch this drama.

Zhang Jianting is also a well-known screenwriter, director, and actor in Hong Kong. He has filmed "Seven Days of Love", "Goodbye for Seven Days", "The Man Who Doesn't Take Off Socks", "Cousin, How Are You! "Series and other classic movies.Apart from disapproving of his mockery of mainland China in his works, Xu Guanwu feels that he is actually a very thoughtful director, unlike Fatty Wang who always makes shitty movies.
