The king of ghost horse comedy

Chapter 79 Glass Wire

"Rocky" earned a total of 4000 million U.S. dollars, which is more than 7 million Hong Kong dollars, which is more than the total box office of Hong Kong movies for the whole year.

So this time, Xu Guanwu can be said to be returning home with good clothes and a good reputation. Even "Sing Tao Daily", "Ming Pao" and "Oriental Daily" sent people to station at the airport.

"Mr. Xu, the "Rocky" you invested in has achieved such an astonishing box office and has been called the biggest dark horse in Hollywood movies in recent years. What is your investment secret?"

"Stallone was not favored by others before, but you strongly recommend him as the leading actor. Have you seen his potential?"

"Will the movie "Rocky" be introduced to Hong Kong? If it is released in Hong Kong, will it be limited to your company's theaters?"

……

Seeing Xu Guanwu and Zhao Yazhi coming out of the passage, the reporters who were stationed immediately rushed forward, pointed their guns and short cannons at the two, and their words were like bombs.

Xu Guanwu didn't expect the media reporters in Hong Kong to be so crazy, as if they wanted to eat people.

He opened his arms to protect Zhao Yazhi, and said to the reporter with a smile, "Please don't squeeze, don't rush. Our company will hold a celebration party in a few days, and I will answer your questions at that time. Now please Do me a favor and let us go back to rest first, please? We have been on a plane for [-] hours, please be considerate.”

Xu Guanwu repeated while protecting Zhao Yazhi and going out.

Fortunately, Xu Guanwen also sent company staff to pick up the plane, and several dragon and tiger warriors easily squeezed through the crowd, clearing the way for Xu Guanwu.

After a while, he walked out of the airport and went straight to his home.

"I didn't expect the media reporters in Hong Kong to be so crazy now." Xu Guanwu let out a long breath and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"Mr. Xu, it's all because you are so famous. A play has sold hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars, which is even better than Bruce Lee." Yuan Biao laughed while driving the car.

"By the way, why are you free to pick up my phone today? Have you finished shooting the movie?" Xu Guanwu asked with a smile.

He remembered that before he went to the United States more than a month ago, he arranged for Hong Jingbao and Cheng Long to make a movie each, and Yuan Biao played a small role in both movies.

Logically speaking, he should still be filming, why is he still free to pick up the plane today?

"My part in "San De Monk and Chun Mi Liu" has already been filmed, and now there are still some scenes in "Laughing Fist and Strange Moves"." Yuan Biao said with a smile, "I'm here to pick up the plane today, and Aaron is still there. A little reluctant."

Xu Guanwu couldn't help smiling, he could guess what Yuan Biao was thinking.Today I deliberately came to pick up the plane, it must be for acting.

Seeing that senior brother and Cheng Long are both starring, Yuan Biao is naturally not to be outdone.

"Learn from your seniors. If you made a new film a few years ago, I would praise you as the protagonist." Xu Guanwu patted Yuan Biao on the shoulder and said.

"Really?! Thank you, Mr. Xu!" Yuan Biao was so excited that his hands slipped and he almost hit the car.

"Drive carefully, don't be so excited!" Xu Guanwu shouted quickly, almost sweating from fright.

"Yes, yes, I'm sorry, Mr. Xu!" Yuan Biao scratched his head and said a little at a loss.

"It's okay, just drive well." Xu Guanwu waved his hand generously.

Xu Guanwu likes the movies starring Yuan Biao very much, such as "Pioneer of Law Enforcement", "Frozen Man", "Fire Head Lucky Star" and so on.In terms of skill, he is also first-class in agility, but for some reason he is still inferior to Hong Jingbao and Cheng Long, which makes Xu Guanwu feel a little bit sorry for him.

"A Biao, what movies are showing in Hong Kong now, and which movie is more popular?" Xu Guanwu asked with a smile.

"The most popular movie now is "Kung Fu Kid" directed by Yuan Heping, and the box office has exceeded one million Hong Kong dollars." Yuan Biao said with a smile, "Director Li Hanxiang recently released another romantic film called "Golden Ping Shuangyan" , I heard that the filming was very exciting. The box office has also exceeded one million Hong Kong dollars."

Xu Guanwu nodded. He knew that since the company promoted Hong Jingbao to the director's seat and made blockbuster films such as "The Snake Shaped Hand", the status of these martial arts instructors in Hong Kong has also risen sharply.

Zou Wenhuai failed to poach Hong Jingbao, so he chose Yuan Heping from among the martial arts instructors to become the director of the Golden Harvest Kung Fu movie.

Yuan Heping was born in a family of martial arts, his father Yuan Xiaotian was born in Peking Opera Wu Chou and is proficient in Northern Kung Fu.As early as 1939, he had already entered the film circle, acting as a martial arts and stuntman.

Yuan Heping, together with several brothers, was brought into the film industry by his father when he was young, and he started to be a dragon and tiger martial artist and action director very early.

He once helped Wu Siyuan direct films such as "Crazy Killer" and "Dang Koutan", which showed superb skills and won Wu Siyuan's appreciation.

Ever since the Xu brothers separated from Jiahe to stand on their own, Zou Wenhuai, who is thirsty for talent, has drawn Wu Siyuan over.

Wu Siyuan can also be regarded as a legend in the Hong Kong film industry. He used to work as an assistant director at Shaw Brothers, and later moved to an independent film company to shoot several blockbuster Kung Fu films, such as "Dang Kou Tan", "Hungry Tiger "Mad Dragon" and so on, became the hottest film director in Hong Kong.

Wu Siyuan has also repeatedly created new movie themes, such as "500 Million Robbery" and "Integrity Storm" and so on, all of which are closely related to hot social topics. "Soldier" and "Pretty Girl" paved the way.

The most commendable thing is his vision, Cheng Long, Li Lianjie, and Zhou Xingchi are all popular by him.

At that time, Cheng Long made several films under Luo Wei, all of which failed badly at the box office, but after being borrowed by Wu Siyuan, he made "Serpentine Hands" and "Drunken Master", and became the most popular Kung Fu star in Hong Kong .

"Then what about our own cinema chain?" Xu Guanwu continued to ask.

"This..." Yuan Biao hesitated.

"Tell the truth." Xu Guanwu immediately understood what he was worried about, and said quickly.

"Well, the situation of our Brilliant Cinemas is a little bit bad. The few films released did not sell well, and they collapsed when they were rushed by the films of Golden Harvest and Shaw Brothers. People also said that our cinema chain is a 'glass line'. "Yuan Biao frowned and said.

Xu Guanwu couldn't help sighing when he heard this, the Xu Brothers Company is still too weak now.

"Mr. Xu, if the "Rocky" you filmed is released, there will definitely be many people watching it." Yuan Biao said with a smile, "Nowadays, newspapers report every day how much the box office has broken through. It's itchy."

"Well, it can be released after dubbing." Xu Guanwu smiled and said, he suddenly wanted to see Stallone speaking fluent Cantonese on the screen.

"Really? That's great. I want to see how good the Yankee is, and how much money he can make?" Yuan Biao shouted.

"Hush!" Xu Guanwu hurriedly signaled him to be quiet, because at this moment Zhao Yazhi was snuggling on his shoulder, soundly asleep.
