Chapter Forty-Nine: The Great Production "Seven Golden Corpses"

Xu Guanwu did not ask Zhao Yazhi if she would like to go to the United States with him, because he was not sure how Zhao Yazhi would answer, and he did not know what would happen in the United States.

After leaving the studio, Xu Guanwu found Xu Guanwen.

"Second brother, do you know why Golden Harvest intends to open a new company in North America?" As soon as he saw Xu Guanwu, Xu Guanwen smiled.

Xu Guanwu shook his head, he was also very curious about Jiahe's approach.

As far as he knows, it was only in the early 80s that Golden Harvest once again set its sights on entering North America and promoting its kung fu boy Cheng Long internationally.

However, after filming several movies such as "Cannonball Speed" and "Killer Trench", Cheng Long's international fame still did not improve, so he had no choice but to retreat to Hong Kong.

It was not until the advent of "Red Fan Zone" in the 90s that Cheng Long successfully entered the North American market and became one of the ranks of international movie stars.

"Look at this report." Xu Guanwen handed over a stack of newspapers.

Xu Guanwu took a look at it, and saw that the headline read, "Shaw Brothers is going all out to enter overseas, uniting with the British Salon Horse Company to create the most terrifying film, determined to surpass "The Exorcist""

"Seven Golden Corpses?!" Xu Guanwu couldn't help but laugh when he saw the deliberately prominent big black characters.

The film "Seven Golden Corpses" can be regarded as a precedent for zombie kung fu films, and it is a super-large production that combines Chinese and Western styles, and the actors also select the popular fried chicken under Shaw Brothers, and cooperate with the most prestigious horror master in the United Kingdom.

At the time of its release, Shaw Brothers also vigorously touted it as "the scariest film of all time", comparable to "The Exorcist".

But it's a pity that this film has too many mixtures, including zombies in Xiangxi, China, and Dracula in the UK; There are both Chinese peach rune wooden swords, as well as Western cross holy water......

Seeing the audience's fog and fog, they were confused, which led to a box office fiasco, so that within ten years, no one dared to make zombie films.

Xu Guanwu knew that this "Seven Golden Corpses" was bound to lose money, so he couldn't help but laugh when he saw that Shaw Brothers was now so vigorously promoting it and showing his teeth and claws.

"Golden Harvest won't temporarily enter North America because Shaw Brothers has entered the European market, right?" Xu Guanwu said with a smile.

That's why, and Bruce Lee's "Enter the Dragon" is too blockbuster. However, the investment of more than 800,000 US dollars has reached more than 30 million US dollars at the box office in the United States. Xu Guanwen clapped his hands and said, "Jiahe is now a hit, so he naturally wants to take advantage of the victory to pursue." ”

"It's not that easy to enter the North American market." Xu Guanwu waved his hand and said disapprerovingly.

Bruce Lee was able to make a name for himself, and he was prepared for the right time, the right place, and all of them.

Golden Harvest wants to replicate the legend of Bruce Lee, it can almost be said that it is as difficult as climbing to the sky, and it is strange not to touch a gray face.

"So do you decide to go or not?" Xu Guanwen asked Xu Guanwudao.

Xu Guanwu pondered for a moment, "I'm going to go." ”

Xu Guanwen showed a look of extreme disappointment on his face, and the whole person seemed to be ten years old in an instant.

"Alas! I wanted to persuade you again, but forget it...... Everyone has their own ambitions,......," Xu Guanwen muttered.

"Big brother, I said I was going to the United States, and I didn't say anything, so I don't care about this side of things." Xu Guanwu waved his hand and said, "If there is anything, we can still contact us by phone." ”

"That's it, second brother, your wings have hardened when you grow up. Big brother really can't always protect you like a hen, it's time for you to go outside. Xu Guanwen said sadly.

"Big brother, don't worry." Xu Guanwu also said very movingly.

……

After deciding to go to North America, Xu Guanwu was busy in the next few days.

Although Xu's father and mother Xu are not worried about their son going to the United States alone, they also know that their son will not be able to help his mother when he grows up, and sooner or later he will have to learn to be independent.

Therefore, they didn't say anything to dissuade them, and they were all busy taking care of their second son's bags.

I heard that it was still cold winter in North America, and the old couple didn't know where to get a thick wool coat, which was folded up to a foot high, and specially instructed their son to put it on when he got off the plane.

Xu Guanwu saw that the fur coat took up half of the box, so that there was nowhere to put other items at all. The old couple also brought some special food to the past, so as not to get anywhere to eat good things, which made Xu Guanwu cry and laugh at the same time, and was almost moved to tears.

After packing up, in the next few days, Xu Guanwu was busy going to the banquet again.

Hong Jingbao heard that Xu Guanwu was going to fly to the United States, so he specially set aside a night to see Xu Guanwu off with the martial artists of the Hong family's class.

At the banquet, Hong Jingbao was very excited, holding a wine glass and saying loudly: "Mr. Xu, I am a martial artist who doesn't know how to speak, but I am really righteous, I don't say who is good to me, but I know it in my heart." I, Sanmao, can be this director today, and people in and out of the industry say that they have taken shit luck, and they are all waiting to see how I die. But from the day he met me, Mr. Xu always valued me and encouraged me to promote me. I was able to stand out among the Dragon and Tiger Martial Arts and become the first director, and I am very grateful to Mr. Xu. Mr. Xu, I know that you don't drink well, you can do this glass of wine at will, I'll do it! ”

Saying that, Hong Jingbao drank it all, making everyone present applaud.

The martial artists drank, and the cups were all two or two.

Xu Guanwu wanted to take a sip to deal with it, but he was moved by Hong Jingbao's pride, and he also took the wine glass and drank it all, "Everyone, I have a shallow amount of wine, so I only drink this one." ”

The spicy wine slid down his throat, and Xu Guanwu coughed suddenly.

"Brother Sanmao, you should toast three glasses. Mr. Xu has drunk a glass of wine so shallowly, and your alcohol consumption is so good, you should drink more to be appropriate. Zeng Zhiwei said with a smile on the side.

Hong Jingbao saw that Xu Guanwu knew that the amount of wine was not good, and he drank a full glass of wine, and suddenly felt that he had a lot of face, and immediately listened to Zeng Zhiwei's pouting and smiled, poured two glasses of wine again, and dried it all in one go.

After Hong Jingbao, Cheng Long also stood up and thanked Xu Guanwu for promoting him to be the leading actor.

Xu Guanwu inevitably hurt the heart of the future big brother in the film industry, and he also toasted.

After Cheng Long, Yuan Biao and Zeng Zhiwei stood up and thanked Xu Guanwu for giving them the opportunity to show their faces.

Xu Guanwu couldn't stand his face and toasted again.

Next, the other martial artists stood up together and thanked Xu Guanwu for giving them a bite to eat when the market was so depressed.

So Xu Guanwu drank another glass.

After drinking this glass, Xu Guanwu felt that the wine was surging, and he couldn't help but vomit.

"Mr. Xu, let's send you back first." Hong Jingbao saw that Xu Guanwu's cheeks were red and his eyes were misty, knowing that he had drunk too much, he hurriedly said.

Xu Guanwu nodded in confusion, and was restrained by Cheng Long Tongyuan and sent downstairs.

"Mr. Xu, we'll send you home." Brother Cheng Long said.

"Who are you?" Xu Guanwu was drunk and confused, looking at the three shadows, he couldn't help but wonder.

"I'm Yuanlou." Brother Cheng Long saw that Xu Guanwu was drunk after only a few glasses of wine, which was really funny.

"Yuan Lou, oh, I see!" Xu Guanwu cracked his mouth and smiled, "You don't call Yuan Lou, you call Cheng Long." Your name is Cheng Long, and you can only be popular in the future. ”

"Okay, I'll call Cheng Long in the future." Brother Cheng Long also felt that "Cheng Long" was louder than "Yuan Lou", and hurriedly agreed.

"When I go back to the United States, you won't be able to guess Weishenme." Xu Guanwu said with a smile.

"Weishenme?" Yuan Biao asked curiously with Cheng Long.

"Because I'm going to go on a journey, sooner or later I'm going to send you to the United States to develop. Hong Kong is a reservoir, and the United States is the ocean. Xu Guanwu said with a smile.

Yuan Biao and Cheng Long glanced at each other, and there was irrepressible surprise and shock in their eyes.
