Chapter 675 Good Friend Film Company

"You plan to move to Canada because you want to avoid my family?" Zhao Yazhi looked at Xu Guanwu in surprise, "This is crazy, I don't want to move to Canada, where the weather is cold and there are few people."

"Then if you stay in Hong Kong, your older brothers and sisters will definitely keep coming to you for money. What will you do if you give them the money if you are soft-hearted?" Xu Guanwu asked, "If you don't want to move to Canada, then move to Canada." Go to Los Angeles, or New York, London, Paris, Tokyo... whatever you like."

"Are you sure this method is useful, if they cut off their money, they will change it?" Zhao Yazhi asked after thinking for a while.

"This is the bottom line. If you keep giving them money, they will keep spending it. To be honest, the money they spent before is much more than my pocket money." Xu Guanwu said, "You I also know what they are doing with the money. If it is for investment or business, I am willing to give them money, or give them advice. But they use the money to support starlets, go to underground casinos to gamble, and even go to Nightclubs are looking for gigolos... You must cut off their financial resources now, otherwise they will only become more and more greedy, and in the end they may even lose the entire company."

"If our family moves out, what if something happens to my family in Hong Kong?" Zhao Yazhi said again, "I always feel uneasy when I am not by their side."

"Don't worry, things are not as bad as you think. Don't forget that the eldest brother and the others are still in Hong Kong. If something happens to your family, they will not stand by. Besides, the traffic is so developed now, we will collect You will come back as soon as you hear the news, you don’t have to worry at all.”

"Well, Ah Wu, this matter is too important, can you let me think about it first?" Zhao Yazhi said sadly after hearing this.

Xu Guanwu nodded, "Okay, tell me when you've thought it over, you have to think about it yourself, and I don't want to force you to make a decision."

……

Just when Zhao Yazhi was worried about her family, there was a big news in the Hong Kong film industry, that is Zeng Zhiwei is back.

Last year, Zeng Zhiwei was forced to leave Hong Kong for Taiwan because of Xu Guanwu's bombing.Now more than half a year has passed, the bombing has been gradually forgotten, and the impact is getting smaller and smaller, so Zeng Zhiwei returned to Hong Kong with the funds of the Taiwanese film company, intending to make a comeback and make a comeback.

The news of Zeng Zhiwei's return to Hong Kong quickly spread throughout the Hong Kong entertainment circle and immediately attracted everyone's attention.Although the bombing last year has been forgotten by Hong Kong citizens, for those in the entertainment industry, it still seems like it happened yesterday.

After all, the boss of Xu's film industry was almost killed by someone, which stirred up the entire Hong Kong film industry at the time.Now that Zeng Zhiwei has come back swaggeringly, I don't know how Xu will deal with him.After all, it's new hatred and old hatred now.

Xu Guanwu saw the news of Zeng Zhiwei's return from "Sing Tao Daily". Although he had already heard the news from Chen Qili, he did not expect that Zeng Zhiwei would come back so soon.Moreover, according to the introduction in the newspaper, it seems that this time Zeng Zhiwei has the support of a Taiwanese film company, and the venture capital is 200 million Hong Kong dollars.That doesn't sound like much, but it's enough for four mid-budget movies.

The newspapers had a very high evaluation of Zeng Zhiwei's return to the nest, thinking that the Hong Kong film industry will get even more prosperous development in the future with the capital injection of Taiwanese film companies.However, Xu Guanwu knows that Taiwanese film companies are not profitable, and their investment is to make money, not to develop Hong Kong films.Therefore, the films they usually invest in are all popular themes recently, and follow suit to shoot a batch of movies to make a quick profit. As for whether this method will exhaust the fish, and whether it will destroy the entire theme, no one cares.So the temporary prosperity is certain, but that fire is false fire.

After Zeng Zhiwei returned to Hong Kong, he immediately registered a film company called "Good Friends", and then borrowed the entire crew from Shaw Brothers, and then invited famous Taiwanese movie stars Hu Huizhong and Qin Xianglin to star in the gourmet action movie "Dragon and Phoenix Tea Restaurant".You can tell from the name that this drama is a follow-up to last year's popular "Gold and Jade Mantang", but there may be some intentions to join in with the female star Hu Huizhong and the literary and artistic student Qin Xianglin.

Xu Guanwu saw that the first film made by the good friend film company was a gourmet-themed film following the trend, and he couldn't help but strengthen his inner thoughts. He knew that Zeng Zhiwei brought the Taiwanese film company's money here, in fact, to make quick money. .Xu Guanwu has no objection to making movies to make money, but he really hates the style of following the trend of making movies. It lacks originality, and Hong Kong movies will collapse sooner or later.

Zeng Zhiwei's new film "Dragon and Phoenix Tea Restaurant" announced that it will be screened in Shaw Cinemas, which is actually the only choice left for him.Xu's Brilliant Cinemas will definitely not show his movies.The festivities between Jiahe and Zeng Zhiwei were not over yet, and Zeng Zhiwei still remembered that Jiahe kicked him out of the house in cold blood.And Golden Harvest is also very dissatisfied with Zeng Zhiwei. Besides, there are a lot of talents in the company now, large and small film companies have also attracted more than a dozen film companies. At present, there is no shortage of good movies to be released, so even if they know that Zeng Zhiwei will come, there is no one. Then invite him back to Golden Harvest.

On the contrary, Shaw Brothers knew that Zeng Zhiwei was a good director with a very flexible mind, and Zeng Zhiwei also wanted to use Shaw Brothers' people to make movies and use their theaters to release movies.Therefore, the two hit it off immediately, and they quickly came together.Although the good friend has not stated clearly that they have invested in Shaw Brothers, the two companies are clearly in the honeymoon period, and the cooperation is quite tacit.

After the filming of Zeng Zhiwei's new film started, news broke out constantly.Zeng Zhiwei revealed to the media that before he left Hong Kong, he was simply forced by others and had no other choice.At first the media thought that Xu Guanwu forced him. After all, the Xu Guanwu bombing case was a sensation at the time. If he forced Zeng Zhiwei to leave Hong Kong, it was indeed possible.Therefore, in the first few days, everyone focused on the news that Xu Guanwu forced Zeng Zhiwei to leave Hong Kong, and there were many criticisms of Xu Guanwu's domineering between the lines.

Over the years, the newspaper "Daily Daily" has created many opponents for Xu Guanwu, just like the 36X that first promoted free anti-virus software in his previous life. It was named and criticized by those websites, and when it encountered news that was unfavorable to it, it was bound to be placed in a prominent position, and even a pop-up window reminded people to click to watch, lest netizens would not see those news.

Now Xu Guanwu in Hong Kong is like the President Zhou in the previous life of 36X. Any news that is unfavorable to him will be put on the headlines, as if he is afraid that the people of Hong Kong will not see it.Facing the slander from these media, the Xu Group naturally did not sit idle. Immediately, the legal department issued dozens of lawyer's letters, suing all these media.

The Hong Kong media has this kind of advantage, that is, to bully the weak and fear the strong. As soon as they see the lawyer's letter, they will immediately publish an apology letter in the next newspaper, and then come to the door to apologize.When people say they don't want to pursue it anymore, how should they write it later?Because Hong Kong implements a policy of freedom of speech, and these media are also good at playing around the corner, it is difficult to determine whether these news constitute infringement.

If you want to file a lawsuit, you have to gossip for at least half a year. To be honest, there are so many news in Hong Kong every day, and people like the new and hate the old.The lawsuit has lasted for more than half a year, and people will forget about the news by then. What's the use of going to court? It's a waste of money and making mistakes.Therefore, unless they are really extremely angry and want to die, very few people will insist on a lawsuit with the media.

Although the Xu Group is not afraid of lawsuits and can afford it no matter how long it takes, they also know that the Hong Kong media is a dog, remember to eat but not fight, forget the pain when the scars are healed, even if they know they may get into a lawsuit for the sake of sales , must also be reported to the outside world first.It's useless for you to go to court with such a brazen rogue.Even if this newspaper is banned, the boss behind it will start another newspaper immediately.Changing the name and continuing to issue it is simply impossible to guard against.

Just like Yang Shoucheng's "Eastern Weekly", because of the publication of Liu Jialing's nude photos, Hong Kong stars came out to protest, and because of the pressure of public opinion, they were forced to suspend publication.However, it was resold at a high price five months later, and immediately resumed publication and continued to sell.In fact, the reason why these newspapers and magazines dare to write scribbles is mainly because Hong Kong citizens are generally stressed, and it is best to read this kind of novelty and gossip lace news to relax their nerves.

And these newspapers and magazines are very popular in Hong Kong because of their horrifying content, and from time to time they publish some eye-catching pictures, plus they mostly publish negative news about celebrities, gossip, etc. Popular among the public, gossip magazines such as "East Weekly" and "Next Weekly" sell more than 20 copies per issue, which can be described as quite good sales.

In the same way, these newspapers that like to publish rich man scandals are mostly aimed at sales.As for the ethics, reputation, and conscience of the newspaper publishers, let the dogs eat them all.Anyway, the ethos in Hong Kong is to respect Luo Yi first and then respect others, laughing at the poor and not laughing at the prostitutes, talking loudly if you have money, and ghosts who have no money will not come to your door.

After Xu's group issued the lawyer's letter, these media immediately stopped for two days, but then they broke out shocking news, saying that it was not Xu Guanwu who forced Zeng Zhiwei to leave Hong Kong, but Zou Wenhuai, the boss of Golden Harvest Films.This reversal immediately attracted the attention of the media, and follow-up reports immediately began.

Seeing this situation, Xu Guanwu couldn't help but feel a little familiar. Thinking about it carefully, isn't this the scene where Zeng Zhiwei turned around and bombarded his old club, Xu's, after he switched to Golden Harvest? !It's just that the last time he bombarded the Xu family, this time he bombarded Jiahe instead.Anyway, now that he has left Golden Harvest, he has Shaw Brothers as his partner, and a Taiwanese film company as his backer, so he just took advantage of bombarding Golden Harvest to express his grievances, and by the way, he also helped preview the new film "Dragon and Phoenix Tea Restaurant". hot publicity.

"Unexpectedly, he stayed in Taiwan for more than half a year, and he still used the same old style when he came back." Xu Guanwu couldn't help shaking his head and said, he really didn't take it seriously for Zeng Zhiwei's behavior of picking up the bowl to eat and putting down the bowl to scold his mother.

However, it is obvious that Zeng Zhiwei is more confident and bold than before, relying on the support of Taiwanese film companies this time.Even Xu Guanwu was taken advantage of by him this time, he didn't have the guts before.

Regarding Zeng Zhiwei's behavior of eating bowls of noodles against the bottom of the bowl, Golden Harvest is as hot as ever, and also wants to expose Zeng Zhiwei's various evil deeds during his time at Golden Harvest, such as molesting female artists under Golden Harvest, such as forcing female artists to accompany drinking and singing Yes, for example, using the company's investment and filming money to raise a younger brother...

There are also quite a few media in Hong Kong who speak to Golden Harvest. The exchange of fire between the two sides is very lively. All kinds of revelations are flooding the major newspapers, allowing Hong Kong citizens to have a good eye addiction. Zeng Zhiwei also borrowed This has greatly increased his popularity, and the movie "Longfeng Tea Restaurant" he is shooting has also greatly increased his popularity.

In particular, this movie is the first time for Hu Huizhong, a Taiwanese young girl star known as "Little Lin Qingxia", to come to Hong Kong to film a movie, so both Hong Kong and Taiwanese media are still paying more attention.
