This time, Gu Weiqi came to say that he had gained a lot. not only got three beauties, including the first beauty of the book, but also received three funds of more than 400 million Hong Kong dollars. In addition, he also took a stake in "Yamada Manga Co., Ltd." and funded Keiko Matsuzaka to open "Songchi International Pictures", laying the foundation for a large-scale entry into the film industry in the future.

Gu Weiqi returned to Xiangjiang in a very low-key manner, and immediately found Zhong Jinghui to record the song "The Legend of Fengzi Flowers" and the two pure music of "The Original Scenery of Hometown" and "The Dawn of Heroes". Because these three songs were loved by the audience when he performed live on TV Tokyo's "Entertainment Focus", now is the best time to release the single, which will undoubtedly be a big hit.

After recording the three singles, Gu Weiqi threw the three scripts he had written before, "Good Boy: Little Dragon Out of the Mountain", "Clever Trick Five Lucky Stars" and "Prison Lock Raptor" to the editorial department, and asked Huang Bingyao to get the storyboard script out. After the latter read these three scripts, he admired Gu Weiqi, the boss, very much, and these three scripts can be said to be quite good. In particular, these three stories can be made into a series, and they can definitely be used as the signature films of Oriental Hollywood International Film Company.

Gu Weiqi smiled and said nothing, in his previous life, he was not joking in the entertainment industry for 20 years, and he definitely had a hand in making up stories. What's more, "Good Boy" and "Lucky Star" were originally series. In particular, the "Fuxing Series" was carefully prepared by Jiahe in order to fight against the "Best Partner" series of Xinyicheng, and the box office was very high every year in the original history, and it was Jiahe's signature movie.

Later, Gu Weiqi went to Lin Zhenying and asked Wen Bixia and Li Zhi if they had come to the company. Lin Zhenying told him that he had come, but because the two didn't know how to film, he was now arranged by him to the "Phoenix Artist Training Class". After all, it is not certain that it will not work, filming is not so simple, and some basic things still need to be learned systematically.

For Lin Zhenying's arrangement, Gu Weiqi is naturally very satisfied. Later, I asked about the shooting of "Happy Ghost" and "Mr. Phantom". The former told him that the two movies would be completed soon. However, given that "Mr. Ghost" is similar to the type of "Mr. Zombie" that is being released, and it is about to enter July, the students are about to go on vacation, and then after "Mr. Zombie" is painted, "Happy Ghost" will be on top.

And now "Mr. Zombie", which has been released for half a month, has received a box office of 18 million Hong Kong dollars. There is absolutely no problem with this film breaking 20 million. Originally, this film was very well-made, and it created a box office of more than 20 million in the original history.

At that time, it cost 8.5 million to shoot this film, and the bosses of Jiahe Film Company, He Guanchang and Hong Jinbao, predicted that the film would sell more than 6 million at most, and it would lose 2 million. made Liu Guanwei afraid that his directorial career would come to an end. However, when "Mr. Zombie" was first released in Taiwan, it was unexpectedly successful, and it was soon released in Xiangjiang, and the box office exceeded 20 million.

Now that this film is even better produced than the original, coupled with the guest appearance of the newly rising star Gu Weiqi, it can be said that the box office hit is expected. Gu Weiqi was not surprised, now he is mainly concerned about the issue of the "diamond robbery" in other cities. This film has been painted for a while, and it got a box office of 28.9 million in Xiangjiang, ranking second in the total box office of Xiangjiang.

However, according to Xia Xuerong's report to him, at present, "The Grandmaster of Guoshu from Scratch" is still being released in Southeast Asian countries, although this film has negotiated a distribution contract with other cities. However, it has not been released yet, and the distribution in Europe and the United States has been handed over to Marshadina, the head of the branch of "Oriental Hollywood International Film Company" in the United States, who is responsible for negotiating with 20th Century Fox.

Last time, 20th Century Fox only gave a 35% share of the release of "The Grandmaster of National Arts: Starting from Scratch", and this time it will definitely fight for more. As for the specifics, Gu Weiqi naturally doesn't have to worry about it, but he finally understands that what restricts the rapid development of the company is the theater. Not only local cinemas, but also cinemas from other cities.

If there are their own theaters all over the world, then there is no problem no matter how the film is made, and there is no need to divide the box office in vain. It seems that the next step is to continue to expand the scale of the theater chain, Gu Weiqi sat in the office and squinted his eyes, thinking that he did not have enough theaters, and it was undoubtedly unrealistic to make Oriental Hollywood International Film Company grow rapidly.

Moreover, there is no cinema chain in other cities, even if the film company is doing tricks at the box office to secretly hack the box office, they don't know here. Therefore, Gu Weiqi pondered for a long time and decided to open his own cinema in other areas. However, if you want to open a theater chain on a large scale, you can't do it without sufficient funds, so after making up your mind, I decided to ask Luo Jianan how much liquidity the "Yanlong Development Bank" can mobilize now, so that I can implement the next plan.

After coming to the first floor, Gu Weiqi saw that there were forty or fifty people waiting to handle business, which showed that the development momentum of "Yanlong Development Bank" was still very good. Originally, the bank was located on the second floor, but due to the recent increase in business volume, the first floor was also renovated. As for the second floor, it has been directly converted into dozens of VIP rooms, which are specially used to receive customers with large deposits.

As soon as he saw Gu Weiqi, the staff on the first floor greeted him one after another, and he bowed his head and signaled everyone to leave him alone and do their own work. Then he walked towards the president's office.

"Sister Nan, it seems that the business of our bank is very good now, it is really hard for you." After seeing Luo Jianan, Gu Weiqi asked with a smile: "How many customers does our bank have now?" How much to deposit and loan? How much money do I have now? How much does the bank have in reserve? ”

Luo Jianan replied: "At present, there are not too many customers, there are more than 50,000, less than 60,000. There are more than 50 million deposits, but 150 million loans. Your personal assets have now exceeded 10 billion Hong Kong dollars, reaching 11.8 billion. Our bank reserves have 500 million Hong Kong dollars and 200 million US dollars of cash flow, and 200 million US dollars worth of gold reserves. Why did you suddenly ask about this? Is there going to be some big move again? ”

"The next action is indeed not small, I thought about it carefully, and felt that the most fundamental problem restricting the rapid development of 'Donglai Company' was the cinema chain. As long as this problem can be solved, then 'Donglai Company' will inevitably be able to enter the fast lane of rapid development. Therefore, I plan to mobilize a large amount of money to open a cinema chain outside Hong Kong on a large scale. So let's find out how much money you can use now, so you can have a good idea. ”

"At present, the company can mobilize a lot of funds, but are you sure that you want to invest in cinemas on a large scale? You must know that investing in hotels, department stores and supermarkets is much better than cinemas. After all, buying real estate, adding equipment, etc., these are very capital-intensive. The most important thing is that the return of funds is relatively slow, you have to think about it carefully. ”

"You don't need to say more, Sister Nan, I've already thought it through. It was decided to invest in theaters in other cities on a large scale. Of course, you just reminded me that when you open a cinema, you invest in hotels and supermarkets together. In the future, wherever there is a cinema, there will inevitably be 'Yushanfang International Restaurant' and 'Tang Dynasty International Supermarket'. ”

"Well, now that you've made up your mind, it seems that I can only support you with my full. But have you figured out where to invest first? ”

"According to my initial idea, I will first invest in various countries and regions in Southeast Asia, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand and other countries."

"Well, your idea is good, after all, we are relatively close to Southeast Asian countries and regions. However, the situation in Vietnam is now chaotic, and the situation in Cambodia, Laos, Thailand and other regions is not very good. Where do you plan to go first at the first stop? ”

Gu Weiqi groaned: "Taibang." ”

The plan was good, but when he found Fang Lingwei and asked her to arrange the itinerary, he found that there were still a lot of urgent things to do.

First, there is a matter about the need for a new manuscript to supplement the page of the novel on the "China Entertainment Times" after it is serialized; Second, the beauty pageant has entered the final stage; Third, there are matters related to the preparation of the "Platinum Award" of Xiangjiang Films, which need to be handled by him personally. Thinking of these things, he has a headache, and it seems that the large-scale investment in foreign theaters can only wait for the time being.

With no choice, Gu Weiqi had to rush the manuscript non-stop, and after working for more than ten days, he finally came up with the outline of ten novels: "Looking for Qin", "Vowing Not to Bow Your Head", "The Legend of Yama", "Get Ahead", "Love in the Legal Open", "Joys and Sorrows", "Intolerable Love", "Return My Life", "Meteor Garden" and "Detective Di Renjie".

At the same time, the first edition of the "Legendary International Beauty Pageant" has entered the final stage.

However, after Gu Weiqi threw the outline of the novel to Xue Rong, before he had time to take a breath, Zhong Jinghui came to him again and asked him to help Anita Mui, Chen Huixian and Ye Qianwen write a few songs. There was no way, who made him a "genius musician", so he had to cheer up and write twelve songs for several people to make an album; At the same time, I asked about Su Rui's situation by the way.

There is no doubt that now Su Rui is on fire. She has already sung well, but she has never been able to sing a good song, and all she lacks is a good song that can make her popular. Now Gu Weiqi has written twelve songs including "Mortal Song", "Comprehension", "Scars" and other twelve songs are very classic, and with the single "Comprehension" she launched, she immediately became famous overnight.

Especially after Zhong Jinghui arranged an interview with Phoenix TV and an interview with "China Entertainment Times" for her, her popularity rose rapidly. Although compared with Anita Mui, Ye Qianwen and Chen Huixian, she is the latest to join the "Legend of Nature". But her popularity is not far behind that of several girls.

This situation is undoubtedly what Gu Weiqi wants to see the most, and the company has another big singer, which is very beneficial to the company's overall strength and reputation. However, the music company is taken care of by Zhong Jinghui, so naturally he won't worry too much, and after writing songs for Anita Mui's daughters, he went to the flagship store of Tang Dynasty Cinema.

There is no way, and now the "Legendary International Beauty Pageant" held by Phoenix TV has come to an end. He, the big boss behind the scenes, is a little unreasonable, not to mention that she also wants to see if the selected beauties have "acquaintances". He didn't wear any formal clothes, just a white shirt, a pair of jeans, and a pair of canvas sneakers under his feet, but he wore a pair of sunglasses on his eyes, and he came to the Tang Dynasty Cinema flagship store very low-key.

However, some people are like stars in the night, even if they are low-key, they still shine. Gu Weiqi is undoubtedly this kind of person, as soon as he arrived at the door of the theater, he was suddenly surrounded by media reporters who had been waiting around.

"Gu Shao, it is said that you have defeated the two masters of the martial arts world and won nearly 100 million US dollars, right?"

"Mr. Gu, it is rumored that you have gained a lot from your trip to Yuben, I don't know how you feel?"

"Director Gu, the 'Grandmaster of Guoshu from Scratch' starring you has broken a number of box office records in the release of this book, I don't know what new films will be made next? Are there any plans? Can you tell us about that? ”

“……”

Journalists held aloft "long guns and short cannons" and asked various questions one after another.

"Please be quiet."

Gu Weiqi pressed down with both hands, looked around at the reporters with a smile and said slowly: "I came here today mainly to participate in this 'legendary international beauty pageant', so it is best for everyone to ask questions to have something to do with today's beauty pageant." As for the other questions, I won't answer them for the time being. Also, it's better to ask questions one by one. Otherwise, I refuse to answer any questions. ”
