After the Academy Awards ceremony, Xu Guanwu returned to Hong Kong with his wife and son.

Before he left, he had seen the script for "Ghost Street" written by the 20th Century Fox screenwriter, which was roughly the same as the storyline he described. It's just more reasonable, more detailed, and more terrifying than what Xu Guanwu said, after all, many years have passed since Xu Guanwu watched that film, and many details are no longer remembered.

Xu Guanwu was very satisfied with the script, and then let Richard and David shoot it. And the "First Blood" he specially mentioned was like a stone sinking into the sea for some reason, Richard and David searched hard for half a month but couldn't find it, which couldn't help but make Xu Guanwu wonder in his heart.

Before leaving, he instructed the two to continue their search, and if they couldn't find the book, they would call him and let him know. He would write the story to Richard and David first, and then put it into filming after making changes. If the original author comes out at that time, he can spend another money to make up for his loss.

There is also a precedent for this kind of thing in the American film industry, but it is not too much, because if the original author is really investigated, it is likely that the movie will not be released after filming, and all the previous investment will be lost in vain. Even if you can reach an agreement with the original author in the end, you may be bitten hard in terms of money, so generally American film companies will not use this method of cutting first and then playing movies. In addition, the publishing industry in the United States is very developed, newspapers, magazines, books, comics, etc., produce more than a million stories every year, and film companies are not short of stories to invest, so naturally they rarely take this risk.

Xu Guanwu also had the idea of investing in it because of the blockbuster of the "First Blood" series. If he really can't find this original book, then he has to cut it first and then play it. However, it is not impossible to avoid risks. In addition to the familiar name change. There are other movie details that can also be replaced. As long as the modification reaches a certain percentage, it can not be judged as infringement.

In fact, although Europe and the United States are very strict about copyright management, the phenomenon of "twins" is still very common, after all, the annual output of scripts in the United States alone exceeds 10,000, which is naturally indispensable for reference. But as long as the modification is good and people don't see the clues, in fact, they can get through the trick smoothly. According to the ancient Chinese saying, "a big copy of the world's articles" depends on whether you know how to copy it.

……

The day after returning to Hong Kong. Xu Guanwu went to the crew of "Love in a Fallen City" to visit the class.

He had planned to go to see Lin Qingxia last night, but after he went, he found that the door was closed, and when he asked the nanny who stayed behind, he learned that Lin Qingxia rented a room in the hotel next to the set because of filming, and brought his daughter and the maid with him, so that after the filming was over, he could cross the sea from Kowloon to Hong Kong Island without having to travel a long distance. And you can also tease your daughter by the way between filming.

Xu Guanwu couldn't help but feel a fever in his cheeks when he heard this, and knew that he owed Qingxia's mother and daughter too much.

Returning home in despair, Zhao Yazhi looked at him listlessly and couldn't help but ask strangely. "Didn't you go to see Qingxia? Why was she angry and didn't let you in? ”

"No, Qingxia took Sichen to move to the hotel next to the set. I thought I'd go straight to the set tomorrow. Xu Guanwu waved his hand and said.

"That's fine, the few clothes I chose for their mother and daughter just came from the airport, and you just handed them over to her when you go to see her tomorrow." Zhao Yazhi nodded.

Xu Guanwu smiled, "It's still Ah Zhi's thoughtfulness, I almost forgot about it." ”

"Are you in a hurry to see their mother and daughter, how can you bother with other things?" Zhao Yazhi sighed and said, "Speaking of which, it seems that there is something wrong with us leaving their mother and daughter in Hong Kong this time. ”

"Forget it, everything has been done, what else do you want him to do. I'll think about making amends to their mother and daughter. Xu Guanwu thought for a while and said, "By the way, I plan to mention the matter of retirement to my eldest brother in the past few days, and I will no longer interfere in the management of major and minor affairs in Hong Kong in the future." ”

"Then have you chosen a successor, the eldest brother and the director are all good hands, and running such a large company as the Xu Group, I'm afraid I can't catch it. Not to mention A-Ying, who is still like a child when she is so old. Ah Sam sings unbeatably, but managing companies is not his specialty. If the company is handed over to outsiders to take charge, I am afraid that if the company is hollowed out, the Xu Group will be in trouble. Zhao Yazhi heard Xu Guanwu re-mention his retirement, and couldn't help but hurriedly retort.

Xu Guanwu mentioned retirement once before, which made Zhao Yazhi worry at that time. Later, after staying in the United States for half a month, seeing that Xu Guanwu was still investing as usual and managing angel investment funds as usual, Zhao Yazhi thought that his idea of retirement had been dispelled. Unexpectedly, now that she has just returned to Hong Kong, Xu Guanwu has brought up this matter again, which can't help but make her feel very distressed.

Although his current money is too much to spend in the next life, who in the world will think that he has too much money? Moreover, now that the company is managed by Xu Guanwu, she is a veritable boss lady, not to mention that it will be much more convenient in terms of money, just walking in the company The adoring eyes of everyone can make people feel fluttering. And if the company is handed over to other people to take care of, the so-called county officials are not as good as the current management, even if the company still belongs to the Xu family, but if you want to have any preferential treatment, you still need to pass one more level, and it is not as convenient as when your husband is in power.

Moreover, Xu Guanwu usually has work that involves energy, so he doesn't have so much time to spend his heart, if he really retires one day, the ghost believes that he will stay at home and watch TV. When she went out to play, she might have been hooked by a fox, so naturally Zhao Yazhi had to be extra careful.

"The company's affairs are managed by a seven-person group meeting, and when you and I were recuperating in the mainland before, didn't they also manage it very well." Xu Guanwu smiled and said, "Besides, I haven't disappeared from this world, if there is any major event, you can call me, I can rush back in one day even in the United States and Europe." ”

"It's better not to retire so early, after all, Xu's Group is our family's industry, do you really rest assured that you will leave it to others to take care of? How can someone else manage a company that you care about yourself? If someone else brings down the company. When the time comes, not only will the money be lost, not to mention. Haven't all your years of hard work been in vain? Zhao Yazhi couldn't help but say again.

"I know what you think, your business in the United States is booming now, and you feel that the business in Hong Kong is small and chaotic, and you don't want to put any more energy into it, so you want to abdicate and make way for Xian. But you also have to find a talented person who can take the throne first. The team of seven is indeed capable, but as the saying goes, there are a thousand people in charge of the family. Although I don't know how to do business, I also know that the shopping mall is like a battlefield. Situations can change at any time, and if you have to hold a seven-person team meeting every time something happens, not only will the company miss out on a lot of opportunities, but even the seven-person team meeting will involve too much energy. The seven of them are all talents in their own right, what if there is a mistake in the branch where they are located? ”

"If you really want to retire, I won't stop you, but I still hope that you can choose a good successor and don't let the company be ruined." Zhao Yazhi looked at Xu Guanwudao affectionately.

Xu Guanwu was stunned, he couldn't imagine that Ah Zhi had such a deep insight into this matter, which couldn't help but make him a little impressed. However, although what Zhao Yazhi said is very reasonable, it is for Xu Guanwu. In fact, it is not without a solution. Everyone in the seven-person group has their own ability, and to be honest, choose any one of them. They all know more about shopping malls than he does. Xu Guanwu has always managed the company roughly, relying on his memory of his past life to be able to get by, and luckily became the hand of gold in the eyes of Hong Kong people. But in fact, when it comes to the ability to manage the company, he is not even as good as Liang Shuyi, a female streamer.

After all, people have never relied on the memory of their past lives, and they have been promoted from a small weather forecast announcer to a program director above 10,000 people under TVB, and has served as the manager of Jiayi TV and Asia TV, and is one of the veritable strong women in Hong Kong.

Mai Jia, the big boss of Xinyicheng, in the seven-person group, not only knows how to make movies, but also knows how to start a company. Therefore, Xinyicheng has developed from a small independent production company to one of the three major film companies that can compete with Golden Harvest and Shaw Brothers. He can also be regarded as a hero in the film industry.

Hong Jingbao, a well-deserved big brother in the Hong Kong film industry, once opened three film companies, one of which supported Debao Film Company, and Baohe Film Company's film output once accounted for two-thirds of Golden Harvest's annual film output. Such a strong data naturally shows Hong Jingbao's super strength, which makes people unconvinced.

Zheng Donghan, the president of PolyGram Asia, later founded his own gold medal gale records, and was once the overlord of the Chinese record industry. Naturally, he has his own expertise in managing companies, just like the current Yisheng Records under his care, which is more prosperous than the old record companies Polygram, EMI, Diamond Records, etc.

Needless to say, everyone is an outstanding talent who can take charge of their own affairs, and they all know how to manage the company better than Xu Guanwu, who was just an ordinary white-collar worker before.

Xu Guanwu knows his own family affairs, and he has been able to go smoothly for so many years, not by relying on his own business skills, but by his memory of his past life. He is now like a level 50 RMB player chasing down an ordinary player at level 70, and he belongs to the type of person who has opened the plug-in. At first, it was fun to slash people and explode equipment, but after so many years, he was really tired of it.

There are not many things that can make him feel challenged in Hong Kong now, if it weren't for the fear that Hui's Pictures would lose competition and the quality of dramas would plummet like TVB in the new century, he would have bought Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest with money long ago. Although these two companies are theaters, film libraries, and stars, they seem to be very valuable, but they will settle for 200 million US dollars if they die, which is less than the box office dividend income of "Raiders of the Lost Ark".

In terms of TV stations, if it weren't for the fact that Hong Kong has laws that do not allow the monopoly of radio and television, Xu Guanwu would have bought the two of them with money. Sir Shao already has a plan to sell, and the Australian consortium has been holding back its strength since the day it took over Li, but now TVB is dominant, and the world knows that it is too difficult to make Li's bigger, so although the Australian consortium's bid price has dropped lower and lower, no one is willing to take it over.

In the same way, there is also Jiayi TV, Sir Shao just wants to recover the investment of more than a year, which is already a very conscientious price, but no one is willing to accept this money-losing goods, which makes Sir Shao so worried that the second Miss Oriental beauty pageant that should have been held at the time is no longer there.

As for the record company, Polygram and EMI always have a hard time, and Yisheng Records, a subsidiary of the Xu Group, does not dominate the rivers and lakes. However, if you want to talk about which singer is the most popular in Hong Kong now, which singer has the most fans, and which singer has the highest record sales, people still invariably say that it is Yisheng.
