Xu Guanwu couldn't help but be stunned when he heard Zhao Yazhi recommend Deng Lijun to star in "Midnight Bell", as far as he knew, this movie caused a sensation when it was released in Japan, and this film has since become a representative work of Japanese horror films.

If Deng Lijun plays the female reporter in this film, it is indeed very likely that she will use this film to maintain her already high popularity. And the most important thing in "Midnight Bell" is the rendering of the atmosphere, as well as the foreshadowing of Sadako's identity, and the actor's acting skills are not very important.

Deng Lijun has also acted in some movies before, although her acting skills are not very good, but at least she has accumulated some experience and is fully qualified for the role of a female reporter.

"If Teresa is asked to play it, it doesn't seem impossible." Xu Guanwu thought about it, but he also heard Deng Lijun say that she wanted to take a good rest this time, and then wanted to have a child for herself. If she really wants to shoot this "Midnight Bell", it is estimated that there will not be much time left for her.

"I'll go back and ask her what she thinks. If she wants to act, we'll arrange it. If she wants to study abroad, then we don't have to force it. Xu Guanwu thought for a while.

Zhao Yazhi nodded, and suddenly smiled, "Husband, if Teresa doesn't act, can you give me this opportunity?" ”

"You want to act in this movie?!" Xu Guanwu glanced at Zhao Yazhi and asked.

"I think it's a really good story, and I want to try it." Zhao Yazhi said with a look of eagerness.

Xu Guanwu couldn't help but smile, his wife's vision is indeed good, and the movie "Midnight Bell" is indeed a classic. And most importantly, the script is too well written. In particular, the female ghost Sadako Yamamura is a classic. Footage of her crawling out of the TV. is regarded as a classic shot in horror movies, a classic mess.

"Wife, you just starred in "Crazy Robbery", a few days ago you planned to play "Bumping into the Positive", and now you plan to play "Midnight Bell", are you planning to play a ghost movie, right?" Xu Guanwu smiled and said, "You can't act in this film, I don't want you to act." ”

"Why?!" Zhao Yazhi was very surprised. On the side, Lin Qingxia also looked at Xu Guanwu in surprise, "Is it because you want to let Teresa play this movie, so even I can't act?" Zhao Yazhi asked a little sourly.

Xu Guanwu waved his hand, "No, how could I think that, in fact, it's like this, making ghost movies is easy to attract unclean things, you have already acted in a ghost movie this year, don't act in a movie with this theme again." Otherwise, it will be troublesome to really attract dirty things. ”

Xu Guanwu's words were not made up by himself to coax Zhao Yazhi, in fact, people who shoot ghost movies in Hong Kong do not end well. It's like Lin Zhengying in "Mr. Zombie" died young. Xu Guanying also died relatively early, and Wang Xiaofeng, who played the female ghost, once suffered from serious mental illness. The apprentice Qian Xiaohao was caught secretly filming the bottom of the girl's skirt with his mobile phone, and Li Saifeng was caught and raped in bed by her husband.

The actors of another well-known horror film "Murder List" also encountered a lot of accidents, Yu Qixia first suffered a car accident in Australia, resulting in high paraplegia, and then was diagnosed with cancer and died early. Zheng Zeshi went bankrupt in the 90s and owed tens of millions. Another actor, Jensen, also died early, and he was only in his forties when he died.

In the ghost film "A Chinese Ghost Story", Zhang Guorong also committed suicide by jumping off a building when he was in his prime. Wang Qixian's feelings frequently encountered setbacks and was forced to go into hiding when he was the most popular. Lizhi also quit the showbiz early......

In the Hong Kong film industry, filming ghost movies seems to be endless, and I don't know when bad luck will come to my door. Although Xu Guanwu doesn't believe in this strange power and chaos, he always has some mustard in his heart, so he doesn't want Zhao Yazhi to act in a ghost movie again.

After Zhao Yazhi listened to Xu Guanwu's words, although she didn't believe that there would be such a thing, but when she saw him swearing and swearing, she couldn't help but feel furious in her heart, so she didn't talk about it anymore.

……

When I returned home, I spent a long time with my son and daughter, and enjoyed the joy of family.

The next day, Xu Guanwu went to Deng Lijun's home and asked her opinion.

"Ah Wu, you're here." Deng Lijun let Xu Guanwu in, and then probed to see if there was anyone behind him.

Xu Guanwu smiled, "Don't worry, I'm here by myself." ”

Deng Lijun nodded, "What reason are you looking for to come over, won't Ah Zhi and Qingxia be suspicious?" ”

Xu Guanwu waved his hand, "Don't worry, I'm here, they know." ”

"Huh?!" Deng Lijun glanced at Xu Guanwu suspiciously, not knowing what he meant.

Xu Guanwu smiled, "Ah Zhi suggested that you not go to the United States yesterday, she wanted you to star in the movie "Midnight Bell", which is the story I told you that day in the holiday house." She said that the film would definitely be a success, and she wanted to keep your popularity high. So I'm here to ask you what you think. ”

Deng Lijun was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head and thought about it, but then shook his head, "Ah Wu, I really can't think of it, why don't you help me refer to it." Do you want me to study in the United States, or do you want me to stay in Hong Kong and make movies? ”

Xu Guanwu thought for a while, "If you think about it from my selfish point of view, I want you to study in the United States so that we can have a baby." If you think about it from your point of view, I would still recommend that you study in the United States. Teresa, both of us are not young anymore, and if we don't have a baby now, we won't be able to find a more suitable opportunity in the future. You don't want to wait until you're in your thirties to be an advanced maternal age, right? By that time, I was in my fifties, and if I took the baby out with me one day, others would think it was my grandson. Besides, the movie can be shot at any time, and there is no rush for a while. ”

Deng Lijun couldn't help but nod when he heard him say this, "Ah Wu, I listen to you, I'll go to the United States." In fact, I also want to have a child, so that my life's struggle will not be in vain. Otherwise, I always feel empty in my heart. ”

Xu Guanwu smiled, "Since this is the case, it is decided, and I will arrange for you to live in the United States when I go back." Then I'll look for another opportunity to find you in the United States. ”

Deng Lijun nodded. "Good. Then I'll be waiting for you over there in the United States. ”

"So where are you going to live, I have a lot of friends in Los Angeles." Xu Guanwu thought for a while and said, "But the scenery of Hawaii is more beautiful, if you like the sea view, it is quite good to get there." ”

"Let's talk about this over there, I actually have a few friends over there." Deng Lijun waved his hand.

Xu Guanwu was stunned for a moment, and asked suspiciously, "Is your friend a man or a woman?" ”

"Alright. Don't be jealous, it's a female friend. Seeing him ask, Deng Lijun couldn't help but answer with a smile.

Xu Guanwu also smiled, "That's okay, I'll buy a mansion for you in Malibu Beach first, and live there for the time being after you go, so you can have a place to stay." And then you want to meet friends, you want to see the sea there, you want to develop in Hollywood, how about it? ”

Deng Lijun heard him say this. She nodded her head in agreement, but she asked with a smile. "With my strength, can I also develop in Hollywood?"

Xu Guanwu smiled, "I'm not sure about anything else, as long as I have me for a day, you can go to space and sing if you want." ”

Deng Lijun couldn't help but laugh happily when he heard him say this.

……

After talking about business, Xu Guanwu accompanied Deng Lijun to warm up for a while, and then returned home by car.

"Husband, what does Sister Lijun say, will she appear in the movie "Midnight Bell"?" Lin Qingxia asked with a smile.

"yes, what did Teresa think, why did you talk for so long?" Zhao Yazhi teased Xiao Simo and asked curiously.

Xu Guanjun sighed helplessly, "Teresa said that she had made up her mind, and she still insisted on studying in the United States, and I persuaded her for a long time but she couldn't change her mind." ”

"Then there's no way, since she wants to study abroad, let her go." Lin Qingxia nodded and said, "Alas, I thought she could stay in Hong Kong to accompany me, but I didn't expect that she would have to leave again in just two days." What a ......."

"Don't be unhappy, if you are homesick, wouldn't it be good for me to ask someone to invite my uncle and aunt when I go back?" Xu Guanwu put his arm around Lin Qingxia and said.

"Alas, it's a pity, such a good movie." Zhao Yazhi sighed and said, "Ah Wu, what about this "Midnight Bell", can it be shelved like this?" ”

Xu Guanwu smiled, "It's okay to put it on hold for the time being." The movie "Midnight Bell" requires the director to have a high skill in rendering the atmosphere, and from the current directors of the company, few directors have such deep skills. So in order to avoid overfilming and ruining this drama, I would rather wait a little longer and wait until a director with real ability appears. ”

Zhao Yazhi listened to it as if she didn't believe it, but fortunately she didn't continue to ask, which made Xu Guanwu breathe a sigh of relief.

"By the way, husband, Sister Lijun said when she left for the United States, I want to go to the airport to see her off." Lin Qingxia asked again.

"Wait a few days, it depends on how she arranges it." Xu Guanwu said, "But you don't have to worry, she just went to the United States, not to Mars, you will meet again sooner or later." ”

……

Just when Xu Guanwu arranged for Deng Lijun to go to the United States, there was also good news from the United States. "Full House of Gold", co-starred by Cheng Long, Hong Jingbao, and Yuan Biao, achieved good results when it was released in the United States, and the box office reached $40 million in two months after its release, which is really a surprising result.

You must know that the drama "Full of Gold" is just a small-cost investment, and the total cost before and after is only 10 million Hong Kong dollars, which is equivalent to 2 million US dollars, and now it has achieved a box office of 40 million US dollars, which is really a big profit. Although the movie "Full of Gold" did not break the box office record set by "Plan A", it is also a happy event for Hong Kong films.

Because this drama proves for the first time that even if Hong Kong movies don't play kung fu so frequently, they can still attract American audiences with other themes.

The success of "Full House of Jade" also gave Xu Guanwu great confidence, because this play was his first attempt to promote Chinese culture, combining traditional Chinese cuisine with Chinese kung fu and introducing it to everyone in the form of a movie. Seeing such a high box office result, Xu Guanwu knew that he had succeeded.

With the foundation of the drama "Full of Gold and Jade", movies with various themes such as Chinese calligraphy and painting, Chinese traditional Chinese medicine, Chinese costumes, Chinese opera, Chinese music and so on can be launched in the future. As long as it is well packaged, it seems that this combination of Chinese cuisine and Chinese kung fu will attract people's attention very much.

For example, Chinese calligraphy and painting can be combined with Hollywood cartoons, Chinese traditional Chinese medicine can also be combined with kung fu, and clothing, opera, music, etc. can also be integrated with the film industry, which is a very good way to promote Chinese culture.

When Hong Jingbao, Cheng Long, and Yuan Biao finished their propaganda in North America and set off to return to Hong Kong, they were welcomed by the return of heroes.

The Hong Kong Film Society specially invited the dragon and lion dance team to march from Kai Tak Airport to Causeway Bay in recognition of their contribution to the promotion of Hong Kong films.

Although Xu Guanwu was also happy for the three of them, because Deng Lijun was also going to the United States today, his mood was still half sea and half flame. (To be continued......)
