Before the release of "Rocky", the domestic box office of American films rarely exceeded 100 million. Before the release of "Jaws", the box office of American movies rarely exceeded 200 million. Before the release of "Star Wars", the box office of American movies was very much more than $400 million.

And these three movies that have set new box office records one after another are all invested by one person. This person is Xu Guanwu, and his investment vision is really staggering.

According to incomplete statistics, Xu Guanwu has earned $700 million in the United States just with these few invested movies, which is quite a huge amount of money, big enough to make everyone blush.

In the face of Xu Guanwu's fierce ability to attract money, Hollywood has successively voiced opposition. Among them, there are even more extreme filmmakers who have put forward the slogan of expelling Xu Guanwu, arguing that he has made money that should have been made by Hollywood filmmakers, and that the money he earned was not returned to the United States, but all of it was brought back to Hong Kong. This is the most intolerable place.

However, some people scold and some people support it, and one side of the view is that Xu Guanwu invests in the film and profits from it, which is in line with US laws and regulations, and is in line with commercial morality. If even this kind of legal investment business has to be resisted, then the United States really needs to reflect on whether it is a liberal and democratic country.

The other side believes that Xu Guanwu's investment in films, no matter how the profits are used, is his personal problem. No one is allowed to make accusations, otherwise it will be contrary to the spirit of freedom and equality;

There is also a view that Xu Guanwu also gave back to the United States after making a profit, and he couldn't help but invest in many movies, and also invested in 20th Century Fox, National Entertainment Company, and so on. Helping to revive a bankrupt Fox Company.

In addition, he also vigorously promoted many young filmmakers. Such as Sylvester. Stallone. Such as Stephen. Spielberg, George. Lucas and so on, such a brilliant investor should not be stigmatized.

The pros and cons are arguing with each other in newspapers, radio stations, magazines, and television stations. On the contrary, Xu Guanwu, the protagonist who was originally the core of the controversy, stayed out of the matter at the moment, watching them fight endlessly.

The reason why Xu Guanwu is so relaxed and not worried about his limited investment in Hollywood in the future is actually because he knows that in a so-called liberal and democratic country like the United States, it is actually very funny to do things.

Now it's so loud that it's deadly. But in fact, it is very difficult to actually implement the bill. To go through layers of checkpoints, it is comparable to the difficulty of Tang Seng learning scriptures.

He is not the only foreigner who invests in Hollywood films, and he is not the only foreigner who invests in the United States, and if the United States really dares to pass such a restrictive law to strictly restrict foreigners' investment in Hollywood films, I am afraid that it will become a big joke in the world.

……

In the midst of the noise of the people, seven or seven years passed smoothly.

Although Xu Guanwu made a lot of money last year and bought his own private jet, he was not very happy. Because another year has passed. Xu Guanwu knew that he was a year older.

When people are young, they always look forward to growing up, but now that they have grown up. But I thought that I would never grow up. So many people envy Peter Pan because he is a child who will never grow up.

Looking back on the seventy-seven years, Xu Guanwu sighed a lot. It was a rather monumental year for him.

This year, Xu Guanwu owned his first private jet, which was the first private business jet in Hong Kong. It is really unprecedented, and it has set a precedent.

For Xu Guanwu's plane, all the rich people in Hong Kong are envious, jealous and hateful. Even Shen Bi, the head of HSBC, once expressed his jealousy to him, although he was in charge of tens of billions of dollars in assets, he was not qualified to buy his own private jet.

The board of directors of the company would not pay for his luxury, and if he did it with his own money, he would have to save up for several years. And even if you can afford an airplane, you can't afford to rent a venue, pay for crew salaries, and maintain the aircraft.

After Xu Guanwu heard his complaint, he immediately promised Shen Bi that he could lend it at any time as long as he wanted to use it, which made Shen Bi very happy after hearing it. Being able to travel by private business jet is naturally more comfortable than flying by air. Although even if he travels by flight, Shen Bi also takes first class, but it is always not as comfortable as a private jet.

Xu Guanwu, the king of the air, has spent tens of millions of dollars to renovate, and the interior is really like a paradise on earth. Not to mention anything else, there are nearly 100 bottles of expensive red wine alone, which is definitely a paradise for alcoholics. The reason why Xu Guanwu doesn't drink alcohol and prepares so many expensive red wines is actually because Xu Guanwu plans to make it a luxury airborne, and it can be rented out to become a car for the rich.

However, it is a pity that the application for a business license has not been applied for for a long time, so this airborne business has not been launched for a long time. It also makes this King of the Air usually only parked on the apron, and rarely has the opportunity to soar into the sky again. This made Xu Guanwu spend tens of millions of dollars to buy a model airplane.

However, Xu Guanwu has not given up his efforts, and has been applying for a license from the government continuously, striving to get the license for flying in the air as soon as possible, so that he can smoothly start the private jet leasing business, so that the king of the air will not be parked on the tarmac and rust.

……

In addition to private jets, Xu Guanwu also has his first little nephew. Sister-in-law Chen Jieying gave birth on October 1st and gave birth to a big fat boy, which was a happy event for the Xu family.

As for the matter of naming the eldest son and grandson, the eldest brother Xu Guanwen and his father were also quite tortuous, checked the Kangxi dictionary, Cihai, etc., and finally adopted the method of hitting the luck and chose the word "thinking". Xu Siwei also became the name of this big fat boy.

The Xu family has not imported Tianding for a long time, and the appearance of Xu Siwei has given the family hope, and it has also added some joy to the Spring Festival in seven or eight years.

And the birth of this little life also made Zhao Yazhi's heart warm. It's just that having a child also requires chance, and you can't ask for it, so it's useless to be anxious.

And the marriage of the third Xu Guanying. It was also put on the table again. This time, the artillery fire was particularly fierce. Xu Guanying couldn't stand the nagging, and stayed at the Regent Hotel for several nights. In the end, the eldest brother came out, first persuaded his parents and parents, and then coaxed Xu Guanying back.

In fact, Xu Guanying is not looking for it, nor is it that there are no girls who take the initiative to talk. But Xu Guanying was born shy, so she is always afraid to interact with girls, and she can't let go of them even more than girls. He will also make the girl a little embarrassed by this, so there is often no follow-up after meeting twice.

And those girls who are too open-minded. Xu Guanying also had scruples. He is very rich now, not counting movie salaries, album dividends, etc., just Xu's Pictures pays more than 10 million Hong Kong dollars in dividends every year. Not to mention that Xu Guanwu bought Xu's on a large scale last year, and the brothers received 100 million in cash, as well as the huge dividends of Xu's Group and so on.

With so much money and such a high status, Xu Guanying has become a veritable diamond king. Although the appearance of the person is a little decrepit, under the shroud of the aura of money, this only little shortcoming is no longer a shortcoming.

There are many girls chasing fame and fortune in this world, and there are hundreds of artists under the Xu family. There are also hundreds of female artists. Not to mention the other women in society, there are countless others. Many women took the initiative to secretly send autumn waves to Xu Guanying. Among them, there are many beauties with angel faces and devil figures.

But Xu Guanying did not faint in the face of temptation, and avoided this kind of overly active and hated to stick upside down immediately. And he neither goes to a bar nor a song hall, except for filming, he either practices in a record company or goes fishing with his eldest brother, and basically has no bad hobbies. So this also avoided the entanglement of a lot of wild bees and butterflies, and allowed him to avoid a lot of unbearable scandals.

……

In addition to the little kid Xu Siwei in the family, there is also a happy event that Xu Judy was admitted to the graduate school of the University of Birmingham in the United Kingdom (I haven't written about her for a long time, you still remember this person!). =。 =！ ）。

Xu Judi has been studying abroad for four years since she went abroad in 74 years, except for one trip back during the summer and winter vacations, and stayed in the UK to study the rest of the time.

It is also a great pleasure that she can now be admitted to the postgraduate degree of Economics and Management at the University of Birmingham. The family rewarded her with a Beetle car to get to and from school.

Although Hui is now a very wealthy person in Hong Kong, he did not let Xu Judi spend money indiscriminately. In addition to the tuition and miscellaneous expenses and living expenses borne by the family, all other expenses must be obtained by Xu Judi's part-time job. Of course, this made her very difficult to figure out at first.

Obviously, the second brother is so able to make money, the family lives in a villa, and the servants are hired to travel in luxury cars. Why do you have to work hard in the UK?!

There was this knot in her heart that she couldn't unravel, and it also made her not come home for two years. But fortunately, two years of hard work honed her will and belief, and also made her understand her parents' intentions in doing this. So this year, after being admitted to graduate school, I finally got married with my family, and I am going home for the Spring Festival this year. I heard that I had to bring my boyfriend back together, which also made the old couple of the Xu family very nervous, and they started to work after entering the Layue Gate.

……

In terms of family, everything is really smooth, and Xu Guanwu has also achieved remarkable results in his career.

A "Star Wars" and a "Contact of the Third Kind" made him a lot of money, and it is estimated that there will be more than $400 million in revenue, which is definitely a huge amount of money. Several major Hollywood film companies may not be as profitable as him.

In addition to these two films, the future investment of "Moonlight Panic", "Raiders of the Lost Ark" and "Alien" have also started filming.

Originally, "Moonlight Panic" was going to be released this year, but because the power of "Star Wars" was too fierce. It was released from the beginning of June and continued to be popular until the end of August, a full two months.

All the movies released during the second period have become cannon fodder under the wheels of "Star Wars", and there is a lot of mourning. So many companies were forced to postpone the release of the film.

And after September, it is the season when there are many blockbusters, Halloween schedule, Christmas schedule, New Year's Day schedule, etc., all of which are good seasons for high box office production, and there are many blockbusters. Coupled with other blockbusters that were delayed because of the evasion of "Star Wars", the schedule of American theaters in the second half of the year was extremely crowded.

Although "Moonlight Panic" has already been filmed and the post-production has been completed, it is a pity that there is no schedule for its release. In addition, the most suitable schedule for horror movies to be released is around Halloween, so there is no choice but to press a year before re-release, which is a very sad thing.

And "Raiders of the Lost Ark" officially began filming after being polished by the screenwriter. The film was directed by George. Lucas, David. Brown served as producer, and Stephen Brown served as producer. Spielberg served as the director, and the actor chose George. Lucas highly recommended Harrison. Ford. He had previously been involved with George. Lucas, who acted in his debut film "American Painting" and later played Captain Han Solo in "Star Wars", is a well-known young actor in American cinema today. (To be continued......)
