Chapter 92: The War of Public Opinion
spent more than 20 million Hong Kong dollars, bought a few houses, and appeased the two families, Xu Guanwu felt that the money was well spent.
In his previous life, because his salary was not high, he didn't have time to buy a house, and he didn't have the opportunity to take his parents into the city to live, which made Xu Guanwu feel guilty all the time.
Now, by chance, he finally resolved a knot in his heart.
Another happy thing is that after a week of observation in the hospital, Cheng Long finally confirmed that he was okay and could be discharged.
Cheng Long was discharged from the hospital safely, which made Xu Guanwu also breathe a sigh of relief.
These days, he's been worried that the future kung fu superstar will be ruined.
After Cheng Long was discharged from the hospital, he immediately devoted himself to the filming of "Laughing Fist Monster".
The movie "Laughing Fist Strange Moves" was previously directed by Cheng Long, who had previously worked as an action director and action director, so he was also a little proficient in directing.
On the one hand, Xu Guanwu asked him to serve as a director because he didn't want to restrict Cheng Long's acting genius, and on the other hand, it was true that the Xu Brothers Company lacked talents, and there were no superfluous film directors to film Cheng Long.
During the period when Cheng Long was hospitalized, it was still the big boss Xu Guanwen who temporarily rescued the scene, and there was no part of Cheng Long's plot in the jump.
In addition to the good news that Cheng Long was safely discharged from the hospital, Superstar Company's poaching action against Shaw Brothers has also achieved brilliant results.
After a continuous silver bullet offensive, Superstar Company recruited nearly 100 employees from Shaw Brothers, covering lighting, photography, costumes, props, printing, dubbing, publicity, distribution and other industries, and basically established the team of Xu Brothers.
Being poached by the superstar company with more than 100 well-trained employees is undoubtedly like biting off a large piece of meat from Shaw Brothers.
In addition to scolding in his company's magazine, he also contacted a group of literati to denounce it in the newspaper media.
Sir Shao has been operating in Hong Kong for decades and has a wide network of contacts, not only owning the largest film company in Hong Kong, but also taking a stake in the country's top-rated television station, firmly controlling the mouthpiece of the media. Naturally, a large number of literati and rioters also gathered to cheer for them.
Shaw Brothers' two magazines, Southland Film and Hong Kong Films, Ma Xiru and Ma Xizhen's Oriental Daily, and Hu Wenhu's Sing Tao Daily, all of which slammed Superstar's poaching efforts on the front page.
Even Jin Yong and Jin Daxia also commented on his "Ming Pao", saying that the superstar company took advantage of the economic crisis to use the silver bullet offensive to poach people, which was a villain's act and not a gentleman's doing.
For a time, the Xu Brothers Company became the target of Qianfu.
Among them, the most scolding is Ni Wei, who has published articles in the newspaper one after another, criticizing the superstar company for poaching the despicable and shameless, greatly damaging the yin morality, and having no little cock in the future. He called on all Hong Kong citizens to come out together to boycott this unscrupulous company and not go to their plays.
Xu Guanwu couldn't imagine that Weishenme Ni Eye would be so excited, the whole person seemed to be beaten with chicken blood, jumping up and down in the newspapers and media, writing more than a dozen articles a day to scold the superstar company, so that people who didn't know the truth thought that Xu Guanwu dug up his ancestral grave.
"Big brother, we have to fight back, otherwise we will continue to be silent, and people will think that we have really done something wrong." Xu Guanwu found his eldest brother Xu Guanwen and said.
Xu Guanwen has also been made nervous by newspaper articles in the past few days, "How to refute?" Now all the best-selling newspapers in Hong Kong are on the Shaw Brothers' side, and even if we pay for it, no newspaper is willing to publish an article. I think it's just like this for now, and after a few days the turmoil calms down, it'll be fine. ”
Xu Guanwu saw that his eldest brother did not agree with his Jihua, so he had to secretly send someone to contact several media first, and once the situation continued to deteriorate, it would be good to have a counterattack.
The transformation of the incident did not go as Xu Guanwen expected, and after a few days, the criticism in the newspapers and media not only did not decrease, but increased.
There are even unscrupulous tabloids that take advantage of this to make a big fuss, arbitrarily compiling black materials of the Xu Brothers Company, and frequently exposing the inside story of the Xu Brothers Company.
For example, the Xu brothers are all lustful, and the recruiters are young and beautiful to meet the needs of the brothers; The Hui brothers forced the company's female artists to accompany the Nanyang film merchants to dinner, and also provided services that were not suitable for children; The Xu Brothers Company is related to the underworld, and the four brothers are all the owners of a certain society......
is full of nonsense, fragrant and violent, but it greatly satisfies the people's curiosity and desire for knowledge, and the daily sales volume has exceeded 10,000 copies.
And Shaw Brothers also took the contract to speak, and took all the employees who jumped to the Xu Brothers to court.
Taking hundreds of people to court at a time is an extremely rare thing in Hong Kong history, and it has suddenly made the media more hotly reported.
The Shaw Brothers Company hired a ten-member lawyer team to fight the lawsuit, and spent money to hire people to build momentum in the newspapers and media, vowing to bring the Xu Brothers Company to a ruin.
After Xu Guanwen received the court summons, he was in a hurry, and fell to the ground in a fit of anger, messing up Xu Guanwu, Xu Guanying, and Xu Guanjie.
Fortunately, Miss Leung Shuk-yee was present and immediately called an ambulance and took Hui Guanwen to the hospital.
Sitting in the ambulance, staying beside Xu Guanwen, looking at Xu Guanwen with a pale face, Xu Guanwu couldn't help but be scared.
"Big brother, how are you feeling?" Xu Guanying asked with concern.
"It hurts, my whole body hurts, it hurts me to death." Xu Guanwen gritted his teeth and groaned.
"Doctor, my eldest brother is sick, why does it hurt so much?" Xu Guanjie couldn't help but ask.
"It looks like gout, but it needs to be strictly examined." The doctor in the ambulance said while injecting Xu Guanwen with painkillers.
"What is gout, is it serious?" Xu Guanwu asked worriedly.
"Gout is not a serious illness, but the pain can kill people, but this painkiller injection should be able to relieve it." The doctor said.
Seeing that Xu Guanwen, who had been given painkillers, looked much better and his breathing stabilized, Xu Guanwu nodded, and a stone in his heart finally fell to the ground.
After a detailed examination at the hospital, it was proved that Xu Guanwen had gout symptoms caused by high uric acid and needed to stay in the hospital for treatment.
Xu Guanwu naturally did not spare the medical expenses, and specially chose a special care ward so that Xu Guanwen could get the best treatment.
"Big brother, don't worry about the company's affairs, my third brother and fourth brother will take care of it." Xu Guanwu said to his eldest brother Xu Guanwen who was lying on the hospital bed.
"Second brother, don't be impulsive in doing things, discuss anything with Ah Sam and Ah Ying, don't insist on going your own way." Xu Guanwen admonished.
"Don't worry, big brother, I'll call you if anything." Xu Guanwu nodded.
After leaving the hospital, Xu Guanwu plotted to fight back against the Shaw Brothers.
Xu Guanwu had earlier also sent people to contact several newspapers to publish articles refuting them.
But these newspapers either didn't have the courage to contradict the Shaw Brothers, or they took the opportunity to ask for a high price, and the pages that could have been rented for a few thousand yuan were suddenly asked for 20,000 or 30,000 yuan, and the bamboo poles were knocked loudly.
Xu Guanwu naturally didn't want to be the big boss, and after thinking about it all night, he decided to buy the newspaper and establish his own newspaper.
