Chapter 228: The War Begins
I have to say that Golden Harvest is indeed the most ambitious Hong Kong film company in this era, its qualifications may not be as good as Shaw Brothers, its business may not be as good as that of New Arts City, and it does not have so many other industries, but it is indeed willing to invest in films.

Although Zou Wenhuai only made a gesture with "Plan A", it showed his sincerity to give back feedback so quickly, so Li Xu called him to ask him if he was interested in "Back to the Future", and faxed some of the information over.
He made some information very clear, such as the huge investment, at least 12 million to 15 million, or US dollars, the shooting time is far longer than that of Hong Kong films, and the director is still relatively new.
It's just that he is very optimistic about this project, and it is expected to have a box office of about 200 million.
Then Zou Wenhuai agreed to the investment, and took out 5 million US dollars in one go! That's right, that is, 25 million Hong Kong dollars, almost catching up with the income of Shaw Brothers in "Officers and Gentlemen".
Hearing this, Li Xu couldn't help but be a little taken aback, and couldn't help but confirm it again and again.
The investment in Hong Kong films has always been very stingy, and the cost can be as low as it is, and even the first part of "Best Partner", known as the Hong Kong version of 007, which should have been the first to break 20 million box office this year, cost only 10 million.
Zou Wenhuai was very happy, as if he was very happy to be able to scare him so much, as if it was very glorious, which made Li Xu want to complain.
However, after thinking about it, he didn't really do that, after all, he is the only one in Hong Kong who can have this courage.
And...... He has only been around for a few years, and by the mid-90s, Hong Kong films had completely declined, He Guanchang died again, and Zou Wenhuai's ambition was completely annihilated.
With this matter dealt with, it is basically possible to go back, first, the spring break is coming to an end, and second, the Royal Navy task force is about to set sail, all diplomatic contacts have failed, and war is imminent.
But on the streets of London, there are cheering crowds everywhere, and the BBC questionnaire also shows that the Thatcher government's approval rating is as high as 80%!
Even if this thing can be deliberately guided and can be faked directly, it seems too exaggerated.
Well, after all, it was Argentina who kicked the nose in the face first, and now is not the era when the white left prevails 30 years later, although the British Empire only has the last bit of afterglow, it is not a grasshopper like Argentina that can show off its might.
"Anyway, be careful, life on board may be worse than you think, and if it doesn't work, you can tell me. In the room of the small London villa, Li Xu and Diana embraced.
"It's okay, I'll be able to stay. Diana smiled and said, "Although you always say that I am your little white rabbit, I am not really a white rabbit." ā
"Okay, okay," Li Xu smiled and kissed her, "Be careful, remember to write to me." ā
Although it will be some time before Diana reports that the passenger ship Uganda has been drafted, it is still on its way back, and it will take time to convert it into a hospital ship, and it will not depart with the combat fleet.
But Li Xu has to go back to the United States, so he can only say goodbye in advance at this time.
He was not worried about anything, and the news of Prince Andrew and the Princess of Wales's sister, Diana Spencer, had now spread throughout the British Isles and received a large amount of popular support, as expected.
Now we just need to wait for the results to come out, in another time and space, the Battle of the Falklands has been fought for two months, and now it will not exceed this time.
But what made Li Xu happiest was that Diana deliberately went to learn nursing skills after agreeing.
You know, with her status, plus her qualifications as a public relations officer at the Royal Ballet, she can also do some easy clerical and liaison work on the Uganda.
But she is willing to learn nursing skills, even if she can't learn much in a few days, it is still an excellent attitude.
This proves that even if Diana does not fully understand Li Xu's intentions, she is still willing to do her best according to his instructions, which is a sign of trust.
The so-called marrying a wife and marrying a virtuous person is what it means.
Morality, or the character that a man requires of a woman, is the first element for a man to choose a wife, and then the gentle and obedient character.
As for talent, it's dispensable ā oh yes, there's another factor that comes higher in the West, and that's blood.
After all, this is still a male-dominated world, even if the feminist is raging in 30 years, but what's the use? Not to mention that this is an advantage that men have built up over thousands of years, if a successful man marries a wife, he can choose to go down, lower some appearance requirements, and don't care too much about age, anyway, it's easy to play with young women.
But if a woman marries, especially a successful woman, can she choose the following? Can she not care about her appearance?
So every time Li Xu thought of these things, he couldn't help but sigh for his mother.
Okay, that's a big deal, anyway, Diana is slowly changing in the direction he wants to see now, and if the opportunity is right, he can push it again.
For example, she was very eye-catching when she joined the army as a representative of the princess, and asking reporters to take a few photos of the wounded soldiers seriously bandaged on a hospital ship would only make her fame even higher.
The war that was about to begin attracted the attention of the whole world, and the market continued to fluctuate, which then brought profits to those who had been prepared.
But as soon as Li Xu returned to Boston, except for maintaining a certain degree of contact with Diana, or occasionally chatting with Scott, Paulson, Judy and others about the war, he basically didn't pay much attention to it, even if he picked up millions of dollars behind his father.
Here I have to praise Xiao Wada a little, although they only meet each other occasionally, less often than Yulia, but as long as Li Xu does not mention the Falklands War, she will not mention it, worthy of a Japanese woman.
"I'm over again!" Under the basketball court, with Li Xu's voice, an arrow step bypassed the defense, jumped high under the basket, and slapped the basketball into it by relying on his height advantage.
Stretched his body, looked back, Wang Qixian, who had a ponytail, looked at him with his hands on his hips, and couldn't help laughing: "What's wrong, Xiaoxian?"
"The young master is the most hateful, and he will bully me with his body!" Wang Qixian snorted, and then twisted his head to the side.
However, for more than half a year, she has been 14 years old at the end of January, and her facial features have been opened, although she is still a lot away from the city and the country that she should be, but she is already much better looking than the original meaty appearance.
But the most important thing is that the figure has developed, the height has jumped directly to 170 cm, and the pair of long legs have begun to take shape, at this moment only wearing a close-fitting coat and a small vest, plus sweatpants to the root of the thighs, it is already quite attractive.
It's just that the chest is still not very developed, which is really a headache.
"Hey, go it alone, of course you have to use your strengths. Li Xu walked over and pinched her nose affectionately.
Wang Qixian stuck out his tongue unhappily, turned his head to the other side, and still ignored him.
"Okay, okay, then throw the ball on the spot, ten for one person, whoever throws more wins. Li Xu said immediately.
"Don't do it, in that case, I'll abuse the young master!" Wang Qixian continued to roll his eyes, looking down on him.
"Yo, let you abuse me, you still won't. Li Xu raised his eyebrows and said.
"I don't want it, if that's the case......" Wang Qixian said and immediately shrunk his neck, looking at him a little scared, "I don't want to give the young master an excuse." ā
"Really?" Li Xu raised his eyebrows again, his face changed to a wicked smile, "You think I can't do anything if I have no excuse?"
Wang Jixian blinked, and then exclaimed, he was about to run away, but where would Li Xu let her run away, he pulled her back into his arms and blocked her mouth unceremoniously.
After a hot kiss, the little girl was kissed back almost 90 degrees, and her waist was about to be broken, so it was counted.
After letting go of her, Wang Qixian, whose eyes were foggy, gasped for a moment and began to come back to his senses, before gently pinching her still somewhat baby fat face: "What are you running, it's not the first time." ā
"I ...... I'm scared. Wang Qixian shrunk his neck, a little worried, but a little embarrassed.
"Afraid?" Li Xu was a little strange, "What are you afraid of?"
"I'm afraid of getting pregnant. Wang Yuxian replied cautiously with his mouth flattened.
Li Xu almost squirted, and immediately reached out and flicked it on her smooth head: "What are you thinking, how did you learn your physiology course." ā
Wang Qixian groaned, and covered his forehead aggrievedly: "I know, I am ...... I'm just worried. ā
"Oh?" Li Xu realized something and looked at the little girl in his arms, showing a look that seemed to be smiling but not smiling.
A flush flashed on his little face, Wang Qixian hesitated, and finally asked: "Young master, I ...... Am I not ...... later? I'm going to give you a baby in the future?"
"Is this still a problem?" Li Xu said as a matter of course, and continued to pinch her face, "You are mine, who are you not born to?"
"But...... But......" Wang Qixian was a little anxious, "There are so many sisters who can give you children, Sister Jianqun, Sister Qingxia, Sister Lijun, why...... Why do I have to?"
"Is there any reason for being so scared?" Li Xu immediately asked.
Wang Qixian bit his lip and fell silent, his eyes looking away.
"Okay, then I won't ask, if you don't want to, then don't give birth. Li Xu shrugged.
"Really, young master?" Wang Jixian, who was still depressed just now, her eyes lit up, revealing a happy look, which made people wonder if she was pretending to be before.
"Of course it's true, unless you change your mind. Li Xu flicked on her forehead again.
"I won't!" Wang Yuxian, who covered his forehead again, shook his head again and again.
"Okay, that's all for today, I'm going to rest. Li Xu said, slapped her little buttocks lightly, and then walked slowly into the villa with her grimace.
It's a pity that the degree is still a little worse, and it is not enough to give her manual breast augmentation. Li Xu scratched his head regretfully, although Wang Qixian never went back after leaving home, even during the Chinese New Year, he contacted his family by phone, but to the extent that he and Qiu Xiaoluo met again after the first separation, after all, they were still not as good as the group of professionals in Japan.
