The king of ghost horse comedy

Chapter 73 "Rocky" released

There are four joys in life, rain after a long drought, and old acquaintances in other lands.On the night of weddings and candles in the bridal chamber, when the gold list is named.

There is also a poem that says that a moment of spring night is worth a thousand gold.

Xu Guanwu didn't know if it was really worth 1000 taels of gold, but what he knew was that he had a very pleasant night.

Upside down luan upside down phoenix, the joy of fish and water...

The ancients made up many words for the relationship between men and women, but Xu Guanwu can describe his feelings with only one word.

That is - cool!

After tossing and tossing for a whole night, Xu Guanwu held back all his energy, as if he wanted to release all the energy accumulated in his two lifetimes.

The next day, the sun was three poles high, and the two of them who were extremely tired got up.

"Ouch!" Zhao Yazhi felt a dull pain in her lower body when she moved a little, and pinched Xu Guanwu in embarrassment and annoyance, "Dead man, don't know how to feel sorry for me."

Xu Guanwu smirked twice, and felt a little soft after getting out of bed.

……

Xu Guanwu spent the honeymoon with Zhao Yazhi in the United States.

While playing, Xu Guanwu also dropped by Lei Shidong.

At this time, there is less than half a month before the release of "Rocky", and Lei Shidong has also started the film's promotional action.

Put up posters in theaters owned by National Entertainment, place advertisements in the entertainment section of newspapers, organize movie fans to watch test screenings, etc.

Although it is not a professional film distribution company, it still does a great job.

"Stanley, I heard that you got married, congratulations." Lei Shidong said with a cigar in his mouth, with a half-hearted smile.

"Why did the news of my marriage spread so far? Even the United States knows about it?" Xu Guanwu was a little surprised, and then he reflected, "Did you send someone to investigate me?"

"To be honest, that's exactly the case." Lei Shidong said frankly, "If it were someone else, they would do everything possible to investigate clearly if they knew that they had evidence that was very unfavorable to them."

"You are very frank." Xu Guanwu said.

"However, I sent several groups of people, all of them are world-renowned detectives, and some of them are retired FBI detectives. But none of them can understand your situation, and they don't understand that a person who has never been to the United States is How did you get the information about me." Lei Shidong was also surprised, "If you want to know my information, I can guarantee that it has never been leaked. Can you tell me how you know?"

"I can't explain this to you clearly, and you may not believe it when I tell you. Just treat me as a prophet. I can foresee some things." Xu Guanwu smiled.

"Impossible." Lei Shidong shook his head.

Xu Guanwu spread his hands, as if he could believe it or not.

"You can really predict the future?" Lei Shidong found that Xu Guanwu did not seem to be lying, so he couldn't help being a little dubious, "Then you dare to bet with me because you have foreseen that the movie will get a super high box office? So you Why did you invest in that film and cast the least favored actor as the leading role?"

Lei Shidong made a series of speculations.

Xu Guanwu nodded calmly.

"Unbelievable!" Lei Shidong was shocked, "Then can you foresee my future?"

"Of course." Xu Guanwu smiled.

"What does that look like?" Lei Shidong was curious.

"You really want to know?" Xu Guanwu smiled mysteriously.

"Of course." Lei Shidong didn't hesitate at all.

"Alright then, you will be the world's second largest media tycoon in the future." Xu Guanwu said succinctly.

"Really?!" Lei Shidong's eyes lit up.

"You can wait until the release of "Rocky" and check its box office." Xu Guanwu laughed.

"Mysterious Chinese." Lei Shidong was silent for a long time, and finally spit out a few words.

"Mr. Lei Shidong, before I leave, I would like to send you a word. I am definitely more beneficial to you than dead." After Xu Guanwu finished speaking, he turned and walked out.

Lei Shidong was stunned for a while, and suddenly pressed the phone button to call in the secretary, "Make arrangements immediately, and adjust the publicity level of "Rocky" to S. I want the whole of the United States to know that this movie is released."

"Sir, this is only a C-level movie. If the publicity costs are too high, it will be difficult for us to recover the cost." The secretary reminded.

"Shut up, just do what I say." Lei Shidong shouted.

The secretary angrily went down to make arrangements.

Lei Shidong stood up and looked out the window. The people below looked pitifully small, which made Lei Shidong feel a sense of superiority.

"Mysterious Chinese, I hope what you said is true... Is it the second largest media tycoon in the world?! Then who is the largest?" Lei Shidong muttered to himself.

……

The meeting with Lei Shidong was just an episode during the honeymoon.

Xu Guanwu accompanied Zhao Yazhi on a stroll from the east coast of the United States to the west coast, and even visited the famous casino Las Vegas.

However, after Xu Guanwu lost five thousand dollars there, he didn't continue to gamble. On the contrary, Zhao Yazhi was lucky and won almost ten thousand dollars, which made up for the loss.

When Xu Guanwu brought Zhao Yazhi to New York from San Francisco, the movie "Rocky" had already been officially released.

Under Redstone's cost-free publicity, this small-scale C-level film has attracted a lot of attention, so it attracted a large number of audiences at the beginning of its release.

And the movie "Rocky" is a classic American dream story, full of inspirational positive energy.

Sylvester Stallone successfully portrayed a small person at the bottom of the society. Through his unremitting efforts, he finally succeeded in defeating his opponent and reaping his own love.

"Rocky moved me. When the boxing match ended, I burst into tears." A well-known Hollywood film critic said in a newspaper.

"Stallone plays in his true colors, he is Rocky, and Rocky is him. The same perseverance, the same struggle to the end." The "New York Times" published an interview with Stallone, telling how he always persisted even when he was not favored by others. Unremitting, and finally successfully starred in this film.

"Sylvester Stallone defines this movie with heartfelt performances and ferocious punches." --Empire Magazine

On its first day of release, "Rocky" grossed more than $500 million at the box office, making it a shining dark horse.

And achieved a win-win situation of word of mouth and box office.

Lei Shidong was very surprised to see this result. At that time, there were only a handful of films that could reach the box office of 500 million US dollars on the first day, such as "The Godfather" released last year.

"Could it really break through the box office of [-] million US dollars?!" Lei Shidong muttered to himself.

At the same time, Zhao Yazhi was also asking Xu Guanwu this question.

"Of course, otherwise, why would I sign such a contract with Lei Shidong?" Xu Guanwu smiled proudly.

……

The film was released for three weeks, and the box office exceeded [-] million U.S. dollars, which shocked the entire American film industry.

With an investment of less than one million US dollars, in exchange for a box office of more than [-] million US dollars.

"Rocky" can be called the biggest dark horse in the American film industry in recent years.

Lei Shidong specially held a PARTY to celebrate, and Xu Guanwu also walked from behind the scenes to the front of the stage for the first time, making the American media pay attention to him for the first time.
