Chapter 81: The Glass Wire

"Rocky" made a movie of 140 million US dollars, which is more than 700 million Hong Kong dollars, which is more than the box office of Hong Kong movies in the whole year.

Therefore, Xu Guanwu can really be said to have returned to his hometown this time with good clothes, and even "Sing Tao Daily", "Ming Pao", and "Oriental Daily" have sent people to guard the airport.

"Mr. Xu, the "Rocky" you invested in has achieved such an amazing box office and is known as the biggest dark horse of Hollywood movies in recent years, what is your investment secret?"

"Stallone wasn't favored before, but you strongly recommended him to play the starring role, have you seen his potential?"

"Will the movie "Rocky" be introduced to Hong Kong? If it is released in Hong Kong, will it be limited to your company's theaters? ”

……

As soon as they saw Xu Guanwu and Zhao Yazhi coming out of the passage, these reporters stationed immediately rushed up, pointed their spears and short cannons at the two, and the words exploded like bombs.

Xu Guanwu didn't expect Hong Kong's media reporters to be so crazy, as if they were going to eat people.

While opening his arms to protect Zhao Yazhi, he smiled and said to reporters, "Please don't crowd, don't rush." In a few days, our company will hold a celebratory party, and I will answer your questions then. Now please give me a face, let's go back and rest first, shall we? After a sixteen-hour flight, please be considerate. ”

Xu Guanwu repeated while escorting Zhao Yazhi outside.

Fortunately, Xu Guanwen also sent company staff to pick up the plane, and several dragon and tiger martial artists easily squeezed through the crowd and opened the way for Xu Guanwu left and right.

After a few moments, I walked out of the airport and went straight home.

"I can't imagine that Hong Kong's media reporters are so crazy now." Xu Guanwu took a long breath and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"Mr. Xu, this is all because you are too famous, a drama has sold hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars, which is even more powerful than Bruce Lee." Yuan Biao said with a smile while driving the car.

"By the way, why do you have time to pick up my plane today, are the movies all finished?" Xu Guanwu asked with a smile.

He remembered that before he went to the United States more than a month ago, he had arranged for Hong Jingbao and Cheng Long to shoot a drama each, of which Yuan Biao played a small role in both plays.

It stands to reason that he should still be filming, why is he still free to pick up the airport today?

"My role in "Sande Monk and Chung Mi Liu" has been filmed, and now there is still a little scene in "Laughing Boxing Strange Moves" that has not been filmed." Yuan Biao smiled, "I'm here to pick up the plane today, and Ah Long is still a little reluctant." ”

Xu Guanwu couldn't help but smile, he could guess Yuan Biao's thoughts. I deliberately came to pick up the airport today, it must be for acting.

Seeing that the senior brother and Cheng Long have both starred, Yuan Biao is naturally not to be outdone.

"Learn from your brothers, if you make a new drama a year ago, I will make you the protagonist." Xu Guanwu patted Yuan Biao's shoulder and said.

"Really?! Mr. Xiexie Xu! Yuan Biao was excited, his hand slipped, and he almost hit the car.

"Drive carefully, don't get so excited!" Xu Guanwu hurriedly shouted, almost sweating in fright.

"Yes, yes, I'm sorry, Mr. Xu!" Yuan Biao scratched his head, a little at a loss.

"It's okay, let's drive well." Xu Guanwu waved his hand generously.

Xu Guanwu likes movies starring Yuan Biao very much, such as "Law Enforcement Pioneer", "Frozen Wonder", "Fire Head Lucky Star" and so on. In terms of skill, he is also a first-class agility, but for some reason he is always inferior to Hong Jingbao and Cheng Long, which makes Xu Guanwu feel a little sorry for him.

"Ah Biao, what movies are being released in Hong Kong now, and which movie is more popular?" Xu Guanwu asked with a smile.

"The more popular one now is "Ghost Horse Kung Fu Kid" directed by Yuan Heping, and the box office has exceeded one million Hong Kong dollars." Yuan Biao said with a smile, "Director Li Hanxiang recently launched another Fengyue film, called "Golden Vase Shuangyan", I heard that the filming is very exciting. The box office has also exceeded one million Hong Kong dollars. ”

Xu Guanwu nodded, he knew that since the company promoted Hong Jingbao to sit in the director's position and made blockbusters like "Serpentine Trickster", the status of these martial arts instructors in Hong Kong has also risen sharply.

Zou Wenhuai poached Hong Jingbao and everyone failed, so Yuan Heping was selected from the martial arts instructors and became the director of Jiahe kung fu films.

Yuan Heping was born in a martial arts family, and his father Yuan Xiaotian was born in Peking Opera and was proficient in Northern Kung Fu. As early as 1939, he entered the film industry as a martial arts and stuntman actor.

Yuan Heping, along with several brothers, was brought into the film industry by his father since he was a child, and began to be a dragon and tiger martial artist and action director at an early age.

He has helped Wu Siyuan direct films such as "Crazy Killer" and "Dangkou Beach", showing superb skills and winning Wu Siyuan's appreciation.

Since the Xu brothers broke away from Jiahe and became independent, Zou Wenhuai, who was eager for talent, brought Wu Siyuan over.

Ng Si Yuen can also be called a legend in the Hong Kong film industry, he previously worked as an assistant director at Shaw Brothers, and later jumped to independent film companies, shooting several blockbuster kung fu films, such as "Swinging Beach", "Hungry Tiger and Dragon", etc., becoming a hot film director in Hong Kong.

Wu Siyuan also repeatedly created new movie themes, such as the later "Five Million Robbery", "Honest Storm", etc., all of which were movies that closely followed hot topics in society, which paved the way for Mai Dangxiong to shoot "Provincial and Hong Kong Flag Soldiers" and "Pretty Girl".

And the most commendable thing is his vision, Cheng Long, Li Lianjie, and Zhou Xingchi are all popular by him.

Cheng Long made several films under Luo Wei at that time, and all of them failed miserably at the box office, but after being borrowed by Wu Siyuan, he filmed "Serpentine Trickster" and "Drunken Fist", and suddenly became the most popular kung fu star in Hong Kong.

"And what about our own theater?" Xu Guanwu continued to ask.

"This ......" Yuan Biao spit out a little.

"Tell me the truth." Xu Guanwu immediately understood what he was worried about, and hurriedly spoke.

"Well, the situation of our brilliant cinema chain is a little bad, and the few films released are not blockbusters, and they collapsed as soon as they were rushed by the films of Golden Harvest and Shaw Brothers. People also say that our cinema line is a 'glass line'. Yuan Biao said with a frown.

Xu Guanwu couldn't help but sigh when he heard this, now the Xu Brothers company is still too weak.

"Mr. Xu, if the "Rocky" you made is released, there will definitely be a lot of people to see it." Yuan Biao said with a smile, "The current newspaper reports every day, saying how much the box office has broken through, and it tickles people's hearts." ”

"Well, it can be released after the dubbing." Xu Guanwu smiled and said, he suddenly wanted to see Stallone, who spoke fluent Cantonese, on the screen.

"Really? That's great, I'd like to see how good the Yankees are, how much money they can make? Yuan Biao shouted.

"Shh Xu Guanwu hurriedly signaled him to be quiet, because at this moment Zhao Yazhi was sitting on his shoulder, sleeping soundly.
