Returning to Hong Kong with a super high box office again, Xu Guanwu at this moment is really golden, like the God of Wealth.

In Hollywood, which is notoriously difficult to do, it has been able to achieve a super high box office twice in a row, if it is simply said to be luck, I am afraid that the public will not believe it.

Many filmmakers are curious about Xu Guanwu's investment tricks, how can he be so discerning. The first selected film was voted for more than 500 times, and no film company was willing to invest; The films selected for the second time were seriously overspent halfway through and were abandoned by Universal Pictures, one of Hollywood's eight major studios.

Like this kind of film, which no one is willing to invest in, and even the eight major film companies feel that they are not profitable, weishenme Xu Guanwu dares to invest, and I heard that he still mortgaged his property loan investment, which is really a lot of money, and he has pressed all his net worth, which is simply breathtaking.

Many financial magazines and entertainment magazines in Hong Kong want to give Xu Guanwu an exclusive interview, asking him to talk about how he chose these two films that no one watched from among the many investment jihuas?

Xu Guanwu didn't bother to pay attention to the interviews of these fly-like media, and he didn't have no media, so he naturally had to leave the good news to his own newspaper to explode.

The entertainment and financial editions of "Daily Daily" published an exclusive interview with CEO Xu Guanwu for a week.

Xu Guanwu's interview with his own media was eloquent, from how to go to the United States for development, and inadvertently bumped into Stallone, a real man, to Lei Shidong, the boss of the national entertainment company, who hit it off at first sight and became a partner who trusted him for life and death; From how to get to know Hollywood's well-known producer Richard. Zaniuk & David. Brown, to how to meet the emerging director Stephen. Spielberg ......

sprinkled tens of thousands of words, not only showing his vast network in Hollywood. It also points out the direction of the future development of Hollywood films. and the opportunities and shortcomings faced by Hong Kong's local films......

Xu Guanwu is not simply trying to cope with the interview. That's all there is to say. He mainly wants to take advantage of his extremely high attention to reveal a little news in advance to guide the accelerated development of Hong Kong films.

After the report was published, it caused a sensation in Hong Kong society.

Ordinary people only look at the superficial stories, and they are envious, jealous and hateful of Xu Guanwu's luck-like money-making experience; Ordinary filmmakers noticed Xu Guanwu's vast connections in Hollywood, especially the stake in a chain of cinemas and its own distribution channels, so they couldn't help but have the idea of cooperation; The clever filmmaker saw his vision for the future of cinema. Start preparing to try transformation......

In short, the results that Xu Guanwu expects have begun to appear, and how it will develop in the future will have to wait for time to test.

……

After returning to Hong Kong, in addition to being interviewed by his own media for the first time, another thing was to select a group of students from the company's employees and Xinghui Art School to go to the American Industrial Light and Magic Special Effects Company to participate in the special effects production of "Star Wars".

Special effects are also unpopular and unpopular in Hong Kong films, and if special effects are needed in general movies, they are generally handled by art, props and other staff. The most important thing to solve the problem of soil law is to save effort and money.

The ten people sent by Xu Guanwu are probably the first batch of professional special effects personnel in Hong Kong. In the future, it will also be the forerunner of special effects in Hong Kong films.

As early as after Xu Guanwu proposed to create an industrial light and magic special effects company, he called his eldest brother and asked him to select talents immediately.

Xu Guanwen didn't understand the second brother's approach, in his opinion, investing two or three million to set up a special effects production company was completely a money-burning behavior, and only a loser would be so wasteful.

Because whether it is a Hong Kong movie or an American movie, there are not many places where special effects are used, and spending so much money to do this alone is definitely thankless and throwing money into the river.

However, at Xu Guanwu's insistence, Xu Guanwen finally selected ten young people who were shrewd and capable, and who were fluent in English, and sent them to the United States to participate in the study after Xu Guanwu saw them.

Xu Guanwu personally met with these ten students, "Some of you may not understand, Weishenme wants you to cross the ocean, Weishenme has to spend so much money to engage in special effects, now I want to tell you, I definitely don't have money and nowhere to spend, and I definitely not ...... loser."

"Ahem!" Behind him, Xu Guanwen coughed lightly.

"Computer special effects are one of the mainstream of future movies, just like the "Jaws" I brought back this time." Xu Guanwu gave an example, "I think everyone already knows that the box office of this movie has reached 160 million. ”

"Wow!" The eyes of the ten students all lit up, and they looked at Xu Guanwu with admiration.

"The great white shark in this movie is made with a machine, and it is not real." Xu Guanwu introduced, "But the great white shark made by the machine, in terms of flexibility and vividness, is always inferior to the real great white shark." But we're just filming, and it's impossible to really catch a great white shark to shoot, and I guess it doesn't know how to pose in front of the camera. ”

When the students heard this, they all smiled.

"So in order for this robot great white shark to look real, special effects had to be used." Xu Guanwu changed his words and pointed out the key points of his speech, "It is the special effects that make the great white shark come to life and give the audience the most thrilling visual experience." It can be said that special effects played a huge role in this movie. ”

Xu Guanwu's words made everyone present somewhat understand the great usefulness of special effects, and they all looked like they had understood.

"The Star Wars you're going to shoot is an interstellar sci-fi film that will require a lot of special effects shots. Special effects occupy an even more important place in this film than the actors. This is also one of the trends in the development of future films. Xu Guanwu said, "I hope you can study hard there, accumulate experience, and return to Hong Kong in the future, you are the pioneer of Hong Kong special effects, and your name will be left in the history of Hong Kong films in the future." Do you have the confidence to learn well? ”

"Yes!" Ten young and enthusiastic students shouted together.

"Very good." Xu Guanwu nodded.

……

Although the ten trainees were all selected from within the company, all of them were young people with excellent character and learning and flexible minds, in order to prevent unpleasant things from happening in the future, Xu Guanwu still signed a five-year work contract with them first as a villain and then as a gentleman.

It was agreed that after the training, they could only return to the superstar manager company, and could not go to any company to work on the production of film special effects. Otherwise, it will be regarded as a breach of contract and will be compensated for all training costs and economic losses of the company.

The reason why the conditions are so strict is because cultivating special effects film talents is a money-burning business, and it is likely that millions of dollars will be invested without even making a splash.

The future is either George. Whether it is Lucas's industrial light and magic, or Xu Ke's new visual stunt studio, they are all extremely money-burning businesses.

If these students are poached by other film companies for high salaries after returning from school, then Xu Guanwu really wants to cry without tears.

……

After being busy with these things, Xu Guanwu was free and sat and chatted with the eldest brother, third brother, and fourth brother.

"Second brother, you're tanned. There is no shortage of beaches in the United States, where are there many bikini beauties? Xu Guanying asked with a smile.

"Of course, there were many before the release of "Jaws", and it was a blockbuster at any glance." Xu Guanwu waved his hand and said, "All of them are wearing narrow bikinis, and their bodies are super hot." ”

Xu Guanying listened to the direct drool, "Wow, isn't that very enjoyable." ”

"If you have that heart or not that guts, your sister-in-law is watching in front of you, and she will notice it when she thinks about it a little." Xu Guanwu said with a smile.

"Haha......" Xu Guanying laughed gloatingly when she heard this.

"But after the release of Jaws, all the resort beaches in the United States were closed, and no one dared to go to the beach to play." Xu Guanwu said with a smile.

"Is this movie really that scary? Americans are too timid. Xu Guanying said disdainfully.

"That's the difference between our Eastern and Western cultures. We Chinese are afraid of ghosts, and always think that shadowless and invisible things are the most terrifying; Americans, on the other hand, are afraid of monsters that can be seen in real terms, such as giant beasts and dinosaurs. "On the contrary, if a great white shark appears with us, the first thing we think of is definitely not panic, but to find a way to catch it and make shark fins." ”

"How can it be so exaggerated, it is still necessary to escape." Xu Guanying said with a smile.

"Second brother, you are in the United States, do you know that "Hejing Blood" was also released on the same day as you?" Xu Guanwen asked.

"Huh?! I really didn't pay attention. Xu Guanwu scratched his head, "How is the box office of this movie?" ”

"I went to my grandmother's house." Xu Guanying gloated and rushed to say.

"Don't talk nonsense, Mr. Zou is kind to us." Xu Guanwen patted the third brother's head and said.

Xu Guanying hurriedly shrank her head, closed her mouth and didn't dare to speak again.

"Isn't the box office high? I really didn't pay attention. For more than a month, I have been busy planning angel investment funds in Silicon Valley. Xu Guanwu waved his hand.

"The box office is indeed not high, although there is no exact figure, but I heard from friends inside Golden Harvest that the investment of tens of millions of dollars is estimated to have sold for one million dollars." Xu Guanwen sighed and said.

"Only a million dollars?! After the three parties are divided with the issuing company and the hospital, and then pay the tax, how much money can be left? Xu Guanwu said in surprise, "That's really a loss to grandma's house." ”

"So recently, the people of Golden Harvest have been panicking, and even the great director Hu Jinquan has been loaned to Taiwan." Xu Guanwen sighed and said.

"Oh?!" Xu Guanwu was slightly stunned, the name of director Hu Jinquan has long been like thunder, and he is also one of the big Buddhas he has always wanted to invite back to the company.

Although there are not many works of director Hu Da, they are treasures, which are really one of the highest achievements of Hong Kong films. But after he went to Taiwan, he made two films in succession, although the artistry was impeccable, but the box office failed miserably and almost suffered a lawsuit.

Xu Guanwu thought of this, and he hated to pay for Director Hu Jinquan to come back, so that he would not be punished in Taiwan again. (To be continued......)
