Chapter 277: No. 7 Pule Road
As the time gradually marched to December, Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index is still falling, many shareholders and real estate developers go bankrupt every day, and the entire Hong Kong economy is in a downturn.
Except, of course, for the MarchΓ© du Film......
Director Wu Yusen's "The True Color of Heroes" lived up to expectations and got the schedule of Golden Harvest Christmas, which made Zou Wenhuai and He Yichang a little embarrassed, but thinking about the Christmas file on Princess Jin's side, Yongjia's "Beautiful Woman Appointment" will be released, and the two who know that Yongjia is not simple have thrown this embarrassment to the back of their minds.
Then Li Xuan also ruthlessly threw down nearly 1.5 million Hong Kong dollars and began to promote this movie extremely, and he even went to TVB and ATV to spend money on advertising, so throughout December, Hong Kong citizens can see all kinds of promotional advertisements for "The True Color of Heroes" on TV, on buses, or on those outdoor billboards.
Li Xuan did his best for this "True Colors of Heroes"!
As for Li Xuan's "This Man from Earth", it was not surprising, it was cold after it was released in Anle Cinema, Hong Kong's fast pace is not suitable for this kind of slow alternative film at all, but it was painted 12 days after the release of Anle Cinema, and only got a box office of 1.33 million Hong Kong dollars, and it didn't even make a splash in the Hong Kong film market.
This data can be regarded as the lowest box office in Hong Kong among all Li Xuan's movies.
Li Xuan found a few real estate agents who also continued to act quietly, Li Xuan was not going to move the theater before the year, but this move can be done now.
"Mr. Li, Miss Zhong, how do you feel about this house?" The real estate agent with a pair of gold-rimmed glasses looked at Li Xuan and the two of them standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window and asked.
"Not bad. How do you feel? Li Xuan looked at Zhong Chuhong and asked.
"Uh-huh...... it's okay." Zhong Chuhong shrugged. "But do we need to move?" β
Li Xuan sighed and sighed: "Actually, I don't want to move, after all, it's convenient to live and work on the broadcast road, but it's really not very safe for us there." β
"Mr. Li, don't worry, it's absolutely safe here." At this time, the agent interjected on the side, and I saw him continue: "In front of this house is the French Consulate General, and on the right is the residence of the Taipan (equivalent to the president) of HSBC in Hong Kong. And there are security guards patrolling the streets outside 24 hours a day, which can definitely guarantee your safety. β
Li Xuan and the others are now visiting the mansion villa at No. 7 Pule Road at the Victoria Peak, this four-storey white bungalow is not a large detached villa, but it has an outdoor swimming pool and a small garden, and standing on the balcony can also overlook the sea view of Victoria Bay, it does look good.
There are very few large detached villas in the Peak District, and most of the people who can afford them are the wealthy. Now there is no one to sell at all. However, there are two or three large detached villas for sale in the Mid-Levels, but unfortunately there are many apartment villas in the Mid-Levels now, if you live in those large detached villas, others can see your home clearly with a telescope from the condescending position in the apartment.
It's not that Li Xuan's thoughts are perverted, but he is not afraid of 10,000 just in case, he and Zhong Chuhong are both in the film and television industry. Will there be fewer perverted paparazzi in later generations? It's better to simply go directly to the top of the house Xuanzi Mountain.
As for the coastal villa on the other side of Repulse Bay, it is also good, but unfortunately it is a little far away from the city, and Li Xuan and the two are too lazy to run.
"Mr. Li, Miss Zhong, this house was originally built by the owner to live in for himself, but unfortunately......" The agent shook his head. continued: "The house had just been renovated when it suffered a stock market crash. This has to be sold, so you can be absolutely assured of the quality of this house. β
"Haha, there are a lot of rich people selling houses in Hong Kong now." Li Xuan looked at the agent and teased.
ββ¦β¦β
No. 7 Pule Road is indeed a house that was repaired only last year, and it has just been renovated, and the owner is the famous Chinachem Group in the future, but its boss Wang Dehui has not been kidnapped yet, and Wang Dehui's wife Gong Ruxin has not yet become the richest woman in Asia.
In the past two years, Chinachem Group has bought a large amount of land in the New Territories for hoarding and development, which is also a common practice for large and small companies in Hong Kong's real estate industry in the past two years, such as Lui Juekun's Kowloon Bus because he lost his controlling stake in the company because of the land grabbing by Sun Hung Kai. As a result, as soon as the stock market crash came, Sun Hung Kai, a real estate predator, had a hard time, and the life of a middle-level real estate developer like Chinachem was even worse, selling land and houses everywhere to raise liquidity to save the market.
In the end, Li Xuan spent more than 8 million cabbage prices to buy this property of more than 2,000 square feet, and almost coveted Li Xuan to use the more than 100 million funds in his hand to do real estate business, but thinking about the next theater plan, Li Xuan stubbornly endured this kind of **.
For the next half a month, Li Xuan continued to make the final promotion of "The True Color of Heroes", while slowly moving like a turtle, as for the house on the broadcast road, Li Xuan did not plan to sell it, wireless and Lishi don't know how many artists want to rent a house on the broadcast road, even if the average house price and rental price in Hong Kong have fallen vigorously during this time, but the rental price on the broadcast channel has not dropped much.
Although this amount of money is nothing to Li Xuan, it is better than nothing.
Unlike Li Xuan, who hyped "The True Colors of Heroes" in December, Yongjia's "A Date with a Beauty" and Shaw Brothers' "Men and Women", two Christmas movies, were extraordinarily quiet.
Indeed, produced by Li Xuan and directed by John Woo, as well as Zhou Yunfa and Shaw Brothers ace Di Long, this boo is attractive enough in itself, no matter how much Yongjia and Shaw Brothers promote, they will definitely not be able to steal the limelight of "The True Color of Heroes".
Yongjia's "A Date with a Beauty" Not to mention, Cai Jihuan, the director of Shaw Brothers' "Men and Women", is an unusually young director, only 26 years old, and this age can squeeze his own movies into Shaw Brothers' Christmas file, on the one hand, it shows that this guy's directing skills are good, and on the other hand, it proves that Shaw Brothers is quietly transforming to support new directors, but it is obvious that this transformation came a little late.
Since the defeat of Shaw Brothers' martial arts films in last year's Christmas and New Year's files, Fang Yihua has carried forward her style of being diligent and thrifty, and cut half of Shaw Brothers' martial arts film production records at once, so now Zhang Ce and Chu Yuan are in a state of reduced production, and their two martial arts masters have gradually declined, and they will no longer be as brilliant as they were back then.
This made Hua Shan, Cai Jihuan, Tang Jia, Huo Yaoyu and Lu Jungu, a group of Shaw Brothers or veteran or cutting-edge directors come out, but it is a pity that the box office of the films directed by these people is very average, and they can't save the Shaw Brothers crisis at all. In the later 80s, Wang Jin, who single-handedly took the lead of the Shaw Brothers, was pulled out by Li Xuan early, and now without the support of this fat man, I don't know if the Shaw Brothers can carry it until 86 years.
However, Shaw Brothers has not been discouraged, his own director is not good, so he finds outside directors to come back to film, such as looking for Wang Jin from time to time, and for example, this New Year's file, Golden Harvest asked Xu Ke to shoot a fantasy drama "The Legend of Shushan Swordsman", and Shaw Brothers asked Zhang Guoming, who had just won the Golden Horse Award, to shoot a 'science fiction blockbuster' "Interstellar Blunt Fere".
This 'sci-fi blockbuster' with cut and cut production budgets, Li Xuan is also thunderous in later generations - a bad movie.
And Li Xuan also knew that this movie was starring Zhong Chuhong in the later generations, but now Zhong Chuhong has no spare time, and this heroine was taken by Gao Miaosi of the Shaw Brothers.
This time the Christmas file has not even started, and Li Xuan thinks that the New Year's file is fun......
Golden Harvest's "The Legend of the Swordsman of Shushan" is miserable, Shaw Brothers' "Interstellar Blunt Fetus" is rotten to death, and Xinyicheng's "Best Partner: The Great Miracle" Although it didn't wait for Xu Ke to come back as a director, Teddy? Robin held up the guide tube without giving up, and he didn't know how the sequel was filmed.
Of course, these are all later words, so I won't mention them now.
Although the golden princess has defeated Shaw Brothers Pictures in these golden movie schedules, Lei Juekun's cautious personality has never changed, and this year's winter solstice has not yet arrived, so he hurriedly released the movie "A Date with a Beauty" on December 18, even one day earlier than the premiere of "The True Colors of Heroes".
On December 19th, Sunday, just one day after the release of "A Date with a Beauty", the premiere of "The True Color of Heroes" was finally held as scheduled.
On the day of the premiere, fans, journalists, film and television stars, film critics and film tycoons entered the premiere theaters to get a sneak peek of the film that bombarded their ears and eyes for nearly a month.
At this time, Wu Yusen, who was standing at the door of the theater to greet guests, was also at a loss and uneasy in his heart.
Will you succeed this time?
