"A lot, you know about TV, music companies and film companies."

Gu Weiqi continued: "In addition, there are catering, real estate, novel publishing, comics, toys, high-tech industries, logistics, foreign trade, clothing and footwear industries, etc. I designed the lace-up boots that you wear on your feet, which have become more popular recently. ”

"Isn't it? Would you still design this? Guan Zhilin said in surprise: "It's incredible." And how many industries do you invest in? It must cost a lot of money, right? ”

"Well, hundreds of millions. It took four or five billion yuan to invest in Phoenix TV alone, and I haven't carefully calculated the specifics of other companies. ”

"Oh my God!" Guan Zhilin was shocked beyond measure, hundreds of millions, how much money does it have to be? I'm afraid I won't be able to earn that much in my life, right? Wealthy, this is the real giant. has an inconspicuous net worth of hundreds of millions, isn't this exactly the wealthy family he wants?

"Arlene, it's only a few hundred million, don't be so surprised, right?"

Gu Weiqi said brightly: "My goal in this life is to earn hundreds of billions, or even trillions, and build a big wealthy family." A super financial empire comparable to the super chaebols of Morgan, Rothschild, and Rockefeller. At the moment, this achievement is nothing compared to my goal! ”

Guan Zhilin's heart was shocked, and she secretly thought to herself: "According to what he said, if I marry into the Gu family in the future, won't I be a wealthy lady?" Isn't this my greatest wish in this life? In fact, she has had a wealthy complex since she was a child, otherwise she would not have insisted on marrying Wang Guox at the age of 20 at the age of 20.

"Come to Arlene and try this steamed wrasse, this fish is said to be imported from the rice country, and the meat is very delicious."

Guan Zhilin was eating the fish that Gu Weiqi had sandwiched for her, and asked, "By the way, Archie, how many movies did you say you were going to shoot, what kind of movies are they?" ”

"Comedy."

Gu Weiqi thought about it, and had the impression that next year's Hong Kong film box office champion would be "Modern Bodyguard" and the runner-up would be "Chasing Girls". I'll let you know when the script is ready and it's officially filmed. ”

"Okay, then I'll wait for your good news."

After eating and sending Guan Zhilin home, Gu Weiqi began to concentrate on writing the script, and spent 5 days to drummer up two scripts of "Modern Bodyguard" and "Chasing Girls" in one go. In the end, I thought about it and got a "National Art Grandmaster: Starting from Scratch".

The first two are comedies, but the last one is adapted by Gu Weiqi from the novel "Romance of the Dragon and Snake" that he had read on the Internet before his rebirth. The reason why he made this is because he knows kung fu himself, and the most popular thing in Xiangjiang is kung fu movies, and kung fu movies are relatively easy to open the European and American markets.

However, the specific filming of which one is a creative industry requires him to think about it. If you want to develop steadily, then it is undoubtedly a wise choice to make "chasing girls" a creative industry, because history has proved that the box office income of this drama is quite good.

And if you want to make a splash, it may be a good idea to make "the master of national art from scratch" a creative career. Of course, the "modern bodyguard" is not bad. This film is a film directed and acted by Xu Guanwen, which won a box office of 17.76 million Hong Kong dollars that year, especially Xu Guanwen also won the Best Actor Award at the 1st Xiangjiang Film Awards.

And just when Gu Weiqi was still thinking about the best film to make, on Friday, November 25, 1980, "Huo Yuanjia" was officially broadcast on Phoenix Pearl Channel in the evening prime time.

Needless to say, Xiao Sheng, who is in charge of TV production, attaches great importance to this drama, and has invested a lot of manpower and material resources, especially the passionate interpretation of Huang Yuansheng and Yang Xuanpan, and the dramas produced are naturally very sophisticated.

And this drama really lived up to expectations, and once it was released, it caused a huge sensation. Every night, when the broadcast time of "Huo Yuanjia" arrives, all the people on the streets and alleys run home, and all kinds of shops are crowded.

This kind of situation of 10,000 empty alleys can only be found when the wireless station broadcast "Shang-Tang" on March 10 this year, and it reappeared again with the staging of "Huo Yuanjia".

According to the normal historical development, Shao tycoon relied on the "Shang-Tang" to defeat Lishi in one fell swoop, even if the Asian era, which was later supported by Qiu Degen, the owner of the Far Eastern Bank, and Lin Baixin, a wealthy tycoon known as "Limber", failed to truly regain the situation of TVB's monopoly on the Hong Kong TV industry.

Although in the 80s, the Hong Kong TV circle was a competition between TVB and Li's (Asia), but the real situation is that TVB is dominant, and Li's (Asia) is trying to catch up, but it still can't recover the decline. Although Lishi relied on a limited number of classic dramas such as "I Have a Date with a Zombie" in the 90s to have occasional small victories, it was quickly suppressed by wireless.

And the one who caused all this is the head of wireless, Shao Yifu, the former overlord of Shao's Pictures. I have to say that Shao Yifu is indeed an entertainment tycoon with deep business acumen and strategic vision. When he was young, Shao Tycoon started with movies, and at that time, the Chinese film industry was still blank and in its infancy. But they have realized that movies are a good way to make a lot of money. So the Shao brothers sold their property and entered the film industry, and by the 60s, the Shao family had basically dominated the entire Xiangjiang film industry.

In the 70s, with the rise of the television industry, Shao Tycoon quickly realized the huge business opportunities involved. Especially after Shao's Pictures continued to decline, it decisively contracted the film business and reduced Shao's budget expenditure. By the 80s, he had basically abandoned the film business and focused on the television industry.

In fact, his business strategy is undoubtedly very clever and correct, if it were not for the emergence of Gu Weiqi, then in the future, wireless would dominate the Xiangjiang entertainment industry for decades. But now, it's hard to say. After all, Gu Weiqi wants money and money, and he wants to be creative and creative, whether it is filming TV series or playing entertainment programs, he has an absolute advantage.

In history, the TV series "Huo Yuanjia" appeared in 1981, and Lishi was already in decline at that time. However, as soon as this TV series appeared, it stopped the sharp decline in Lishi's ratings. Now this TV series appeared a year earlier than the time in history, but it made Phoenix TV hit the sign in one fell swoop. Especially as the plot unfolds, people are full of admiration for the martial arts master played by Huang Yuansheng who worries about the country and the people!

The reason why people like to watch this TV series so much is because Hong Kong was occupied by Japan in the 1940s, which left indelible pain in the hearts of Hong Kong people. Therefore, the attitude of Xiangjiang people towards Yuben is also quite contradictory. While admiring its advanced economy and culture, he also hated its stubbornness and never acknowledged the atrocities of World War II.

Under the mixture of love and hate, the people of Xiangjiang naturally hope that someone can win over Japan in some way, so as to obtain spiritual satisfaction and comfort. That's why Li Xiaolong's "Jingwumen" was so popular back then, and the ratings of TV series like "Huo Yuanjia" were so high.

In particular, in addition to the national righteousness expounded in this drama that can arouse everyone's resonance, the production itself is also relatively sophisticated. Whether it is the set, props, or costumes, etc., a lot of financial and manpower resources have been invested. So although it is surprising, it is still reasonable.

And the theme song "The Great Wall Will Never Fall" created by Gu Weiqi was loved by everyone. Both old and young people are singing this patriotic song everywhere. Perhaps when you walk through the teahouse and restaurant, you will hear two sentences from time to time "The Great Wall will never fall".

And the major newspapers, such as "Ming Pao", "Wen Wei Po", "Ta Kung Pao" and so on. Even the "Oriental Daily", which is accustomed to publishing lace news and gossip, has commented that this TV series is well filmed, the leading actors are also well acted, and all kinds of praise letters are like snowflakes, which greatly encourages the staff of Phoenix TV.

Under the reports of various media and newspapers, Huang Yuansheng, the actor of the actor Huo Yuanjia, was the first to bear the brunt, and once again was popular among the people of Hong Kong. All in all, with the popularity of this drama, his popularity has once again reached a peak.

And Zhao Qiannan, who is played by Yang Qianpan very vividly, is also the audience's favorite heroine. With this "Huo Yuanjia", she naturally became the real leader of Phoenix TV, and stabilized her status as the first sister of the TV station. Its limelight has recently been in the TV circle, and it is not much better than the popular actress Zhao Yuzhi of wireless.

But Gu Weiqi didn't know these things yet, because he was still thinking about what to start filming as a film company's creative business. Just when he was very entangled, Fang Lingwei told him that the film company had been registered.

Gu Weiqi rubbed his temples, this movie is not something that three or two people can play. Even if I know all the processes of making a movie, and I am familiar with all the processes, I still can't do it without actors and behind-the-scenes teams. It seems that there will be a large-scale recruitment of talent.

Just make that film first as the company's creative business? This made him very entangled. After thinking about it, I finally decided to do three films at the same time, go hand in hand, and start filming at the same time, anyway, now I have enough funds in my hand, even if I start shooting ten movies at the same time, there is no pressure.

made up his mind, Gu Weiqi instructed Fang Lingwei to say hello to Xue Rong, who was in charge of the "China Entertainment Times", and ordered her to advertise in the newspaper with an investment of tens of millions of dollars and a public recruitment of heroines and various behind-the-scenes talents. Especially the behind-the-scenes team, such as photography, editing, soundtrack, etc., these talents have been offered benefits with an annual salary of 50,000 Hong Kong dollars.

At this time, the general film company rarely pays attention to the behind-the-scenes team, and usually looks for it everywhere when the film starts shooting, and when the film is finished, everyone goes their separate ways. In other words, cinematography, editing, soundtracks, and screenwriting are only paid when they start working.

However, in Gu Weiqi's view, if a film company wants to develop and grow, these behind-the-scenes teams are indispensable personnel. And according to his requirements, in addition to the generous guaranteed salary, the salary is also calculated. This treatment is definitely the top in the industry, and joining the "Oriental Hollywood International Film Company" is equivalent to drought and flood income.

Just after Gu Weiqi explained to Fang Lingwei, Chai Yuqi called him and said that the handheld game console had been successfully developed, and after many experiments, it was ready for mass production.
