Chapter 114: Harvesting Maijia

The climax of the celebration party was Xu Guanwen, Xu Guanwu, and Hong Jingbao, who brandished a mallet together to smash the frozen 3,000,000 digital statue.

"The box office of "Sande Monk and Chung Mi Liu" exceeded the 3 million mark, for which I would like to thank all the fans for their support, and also thank all the staff of the crew. Without your hard work, the movie "Sande Monk and Chung Mi Liu" would not have been so well made. Xu Guanwen delivered a congratulatory speech, "Zuihouxiexie Sanmao, he is also a writer and director, meticulous, and presents a perfect audio-visual feast for fans." ”

Hong Jingbao was also very excited, the box office of the movie "Sande Monk and Chung Mi Liu" could exceed 3 million, which he did not expect before, and he thought that 1 million Hong Kong dollars would be good.

"Sanmao, from this moment on, you are also the most popular kung fu star in Hong Kong." Xu Guanwu patted him on the shoulder and said.

"I still have to thank you, Mr. Xu, otherwise I wouldn't have a chance to be the leading actor." Hong Jingbao also said with a smile.

……

After Hong Jingbao returned to Hong Kong with a large team, he continued to shoot "Fat Dragon Crossing the River" in Hong Kong.

This drama is written by Zeng Zhiwei and starring Hong Jingbao, and the main story line is modeled after Bruce Lee's "Raptors Crossing the River", but the subtleties are very different.

In order to cater to the popular kung fu comedy trend, Zeng Zhiwei racked his brains to add many funny plots to this movie. Hong Jingbao, who is the director and starring actor, and all the martial artists on the set also helped to cross the bridge together, and came up with many unbearable scenes, making this "Fat Dragon Across the River" not only have sharp martial arts action, but also an interesting storyline.

When Hong Jingbao was nervously filming "Fat Dragon Crossing the River", "Laughing Boxing Monster Move" starring Cheng Long was also gradually completed.

Originally, this "Laughing Boxing Monster Move" had been filmed for nearly three months, and it was already seriously overtimed, but Cheng Long still kept improving, meticulous, and refused to rush to shoot in order to catch up with the schedule.

Later, he caught up with Hong Jingbao's "Sande Monk and Chung Mi Liu" with a box office of 3.8 million, which made Cheng Long also feel an invisible pressure.

Although Qixiaofu is a senior brother, they support each other and help each other, but they also have the meaning of competing secretly.

Cheng Long's "Serpentine Trickster" reached a box office of 2.7 million, which was already enough to surprise people, and was also called by the media as another kung fu star rising in Hong Kong after Bruce Lee.

But now Hong Jingbao's "Three Virtues Monk and Chung Mi Liu" is close to Bruce Lee's "Enter the Dragon" at the box office, and has successfully taken the hat of Hong Kong's most popular star off Cheng Longtou.

After all, Cheng Long is young and vigorous, and he still attaches great importance to fame and fortune, so he is full of energy in his heart, and he wants to shoot this "Laughing Boxing Tricks" well, and not let the senior brother focus on beauty.

Therefore, he had already filmed a few scenes of haode, but Cheng Long burned all of them and remade them and added more kitkat ideas. This naturally made the filming cost of "Laughing Fist Monster" thirty percent longer.

Xu Guanwu, who was in charge of the production, couldn't help but smile when he saw the report on applying for funds handed over by the crew of "Laughing Boxing", and approved it very happily.

He has long known that Cheng Long is a tireless person for movies, and in his previous life, he filmed "Young Master Long" to grab a scene, and he was stunned to travel to Hong Kong, South Korea, and San Francisco to shoot, and it took half a year to finish filming this scene.

In the 80s, "Flying Eagle Jihua" traveled to Europe, Africa, and Asia, nearly 20 countries, costing more than 100 million Hong Kong dollars, and was the largest film investment in the Hong Kong film industry at that time.

In the 90s, "Thunderbolt" used Hong Kong's top five action film directors to shoot together, and there were more than a dozen high-end sports cars crashed, each worth millions, and the total investment of "Thunderbolt" also exceeded 200 million Hong Kong dollars, a record that no one has been able to break so far.

In comparison, now that "Laughing Fist Monster Move" is just applying for another hundred thousand Hong Kong dollars, it is a big deal, and Xu Guanwu naturally has no reason to refuse, because he knows that Cheng Long will definitely help him earn back the money invested.

……

The Xu Brothers company now has a total of five films being filmed, in addition to the aforementioned Hong Jingbao and Cheng Long, there are also cult director Gui Zhihong's "Cheng Ji Teahouse", big boss Xu Guanwen's "Genius and Idiot" and Taiwan's Qiong Shao's "I Am a Cloud".

The play "I Am a Cloud" is jointly invested by Qiong Shao, Wu Dun and Xu's Brothers, of which Qiong Yao accounts for 30% of the total investment, Wu Dun accounts for 20% of the investment, and the remaining 50% is undertaken by Xu's Brothers.

This movie is Wu Dun's first time testing the water investment, so it seems a little cautious. At the suggestion of Hsu Brothers, the film featured the best directors, the highest-grossing actors, the most haode soundtrack, and the most beautiful theme song...... All of them demanded the best, and made this film a classic, which made Hsu Brothers an instant hit in Taiwan.

The director of "I Am a Cloud" is Li Xing, a famous literary film director in Taiwan, who has directed countless blockbuster films; The actors invited Lin Qingxia, Qin Xianglin, and Qin Han, the three popular fried chickens, which also built a solid foundation for Qiong Yao's movies in the future.

What Xu Guanwu didn't expect was that this movie also invited Taiwan's new actress Hu Yinmeng to play a small supporting role in the play. It was a complete unexpected surprise.

Hu Yinmeng's appearance and temperament are not inferior to Lin Qingxia, and she is especially good in terms of talent. But Hu Meiren's interest is not in film and television, she retired early, and was busy fiddling with her metaphysics.

In addition to her amazing beauty and talent, the most interesting thing is that her marriage with the talented Li Ao was only four months, which simply set a record for the shortest marriage in the entertainment industry, and it set off a big storm in Taiwan, where social customs were still slightly conservative at that time.

In short, this is a very thoughtful and maverick beauty.

"I don't know if she would believe it if I told her now that she would marry a man who was good enough to be her father in the future." Xu Guanwu couldn't help but laugh.

I thought of a beautiful woman who was going to marry a man in his forties who had been in prison. Xu Guanwu felt that it was too ridiculous, not to mention that this man didn't love her.

……

"Second brother, I've done what you asked me to do." Just as Xu Guanwu was sitting in the office thinking nonsense, Xu Guanying hurriedly ran in and said.

"What did I ask you to do?" Xu Guanwu was a little confused, and hurriedly asked.

"It's just about recruiting Mai Jia into the company, didn't you ask me to poach him from Jiahe?" Xu Guanying raised her voice and said.

"Ah, look at my brain, I forgot about it." Xu Guanwu suddenly realized, and hurriedly blamed himself, "So, he has already agreed?" ”

"Agreed, agreed, I heard that the second brother was going to give him money to invest, and he immediately agreed." Xu Guanying said with a smile.

"Agreed right away, you're only telling me now?" Xu Guanwu shouted with wide eyes.

"He was still the screenwriter of "The Confused Heart" at the time, and he was left by John Woo to spend the bridge, and he couldn't leave at all." Xu Guanying explained.

"Alas, you told me earlier, we signed the contract first, so that we are not afraid that someone will come out halfway to cut off the beard." Xu Guanwu sighed and said.

"Second brother, just a screenwriter, do you need to be so nervous? I don't think Jiahe has this person in his heart. Xu Guanying muttered.

"You! Take me to him. Xu Guanwu didn't know how to explain to Xu Guanying, so he had to immediately ask him to take him to see Mai Jia.

A genius like Mai Jia, who writes, directs and produces, Xu Guanwu definitely doesn't want to miss it.

"Second brother, don't worry, I've already brought the person, just outside the door." Xu Guanying couldn't help but laugh a little when she saw that her second brother was so flustered.

"What are you laughing at, you don't know how powerful he is, with him, I'm not even afraid of Shaw Brothers." Xu Guanwu said with a smile.

"Why does Mr. Xu think so highly of me?" As soon as Xu Guanwu's words fell, a man with long hair walked in from outside the door and said in a slightly exaggerated Cantonese.
