Chapter 135: Three Kingdoms War

"Brother Long, you also asked Weishenme, send you to Nanyang, I can only earn five thousand yuan. But if I give you to Mr. Xu, I can get 100,000 yuan. If you were me, what would you choose? Ah Chan sneered.

"Damn, I won't spare you, I swear that after I come out, you will be the first to kill." Huang Jinkai struggled desperately and shouted.

"Kill me?! Brother Long, now that you are no longer a speaker in Jordan, you don't have a little brother now, why did you kill me? If it weren't for the fact that you still have some money on you these months, I would have taken you in? Ah Can sneered, "When you were in the limelight before, you didn't even bother to look at me." ”

"You betrayed me, I won't let you go, I won't let you go!" Huang Jinkai was so angry that he fainted at once, and when he was woken up by being splashed with water, he would only mumble these two sentences.

"Mr. Xu, he seems to be obsessed with phlegm and gone crazy." Chen Huimin said in surprise.

"It's crazy or not, it's a sin to live anyway." Xu Guanwu muttered, wrote a check for 100,000 yuan and handed it to Ah Can, "What happened today, you know what to do." ”

"Mr. Xu, don't worry, I've been fishing for the past few days, and I don't know anything." Ah Can took the check, kissed it hard, and said with a mouth full of yellow rotten teeth.

Xu Guanwu sneered and left the beach with a large group of people.

……

In the early morning of the same day, Huang Jinkai was handed over to the police, although he was already unconscious at the time of the handover, but the police wisely did not ask for details. And Xu Guanwu can also receive a good citizen award from the Commissioner of Police for his performance this time.

Huang Jinkai was arrested and imprisoned, but Xu Guanwu had a heartfelt matter, and at this time, the two directors who received the first batch of subsidies from Asian new star directors, Zhang Guoming and Zhang Jian, also reported their films to the Xu Brothers Company.

Asia's rising star director Jihua was a condition reached by Hui Guanwu and Kowloon Motor Bus Chairman Lui Kokuk-kwan in order to rent four leading cinemas in Lisheng.

Every year, a portion of the company's profits will be used to support the development of niche films in Hong Kong. Zhang Jian and Zhang Guoming were among the first directors to receive funding.

Because the Asian rising star director Jihua is only preliminarily launched, there is no specific and long-term development of Jihua, and he lacks a certain amount of experience in the excavation of new directors and the approval of film projects, so Xu Guanwu is now crossing the river by feeling the stones.

This time, the scripts submitted by Zhang Guoming and Zhang Jian are all themes that reflect social reality. The movie Zhang Guoming wants to make is called "Ah Ming".

The script tells the story of a child named Ah Ming, how he gradually degenerated from a simple and kind student to Ah Fei on the street, and Zuihou was hacked to death with a knife when he was fighting with others, pointing to the dark side of Hong Kong society, lack of justice, ** rampant.

Zhang Jian wanted to focus the camera on the women who had lost their footing, telling them about their joys and sorrows, and their five-flavor lives, but the name of the movie was very fragrant, called "Queen of Temple Street".

After Xu Guanwu looked through the two scripts, he suddenly couldn't help but feel a sigh, who said that Hong Kong filmmakers would only make comedies and ping-pong kung fu films?

The scripts of "Ah Ming" and "Queen of Temple Street" are very good, with unique perspectives, novel themes, and rigorous stories. But maybe it's too niche, so no one dares to invest.

But Xu Guanwu has already seen that this "Ah Ming" already has the shadow of a gangster film in later generations; And the "Queen of Temple Street" is different from the popular Fengyue films, but more similar to the tertiary films of later generations.

Xu Guanwu strongly recommended these two films, and persuaded the eldest brother Xu Guanwen, the third brother Xu Guanying and the fourth brother Xu Guanjie to give the two films the highest amount of permission, and the two film directors were the highest, and they could apply for 600,000 Hong Kong dollars in shooting funds.

This is the first step for the Xu Brothers company to invest in niche films, and it feels like a thousand dollars are buying horse bones.

After Zhang Guoming and Zhang Jian got the initial investment of 30,000 Hong Kong dollars, they were a little surprised and speechless. In their opinion, if they can apply for 100,000 Hong Kong dollars, they will be satisfied.

But if they have an extra 20,000 yuan, they will have more funds, they can have more choices in actors, shoot more films, and shoot bigger scenes.

When Zhang Guoming and Zhang Jian set up their crews separately and prepared to shoot their new films, the pace of the New Year was gradually approaching.

The atmosphere of the Chinese New Year in the urban area of Hong Kong is getting stronger, and people feel that the air is filled with the smell of happiness.

On the 27th of the lunar month, the newly renovated brilliant cinema line was officially opened for business.

The Xu brothers, celebrities and popular movie stars came together to cut the ribbon for the opening of the new cinema chain.

The atmosphere was warm, not only the traditional lion dance performance, but also Xu Xiaofeng, Wenna Band and so on for everyone to give their voices.

On the same day, the Xu brothers' latest masterpiece "Genius and Idiot" was released together with Cheng Long's new kung fu work "Laughing Fist Strange Moves".

Because a number of reports had been published in the "Daily Daily" in advance, and there were movie clips scrolling on the window TV, the public's appetite had already been aroused.

The two movies have not yet been released, and the movie tickets have long been booked, showing a box office hit.

On the same day, all 20 theaters of the Brilliant Cinema Line were lit up with red lights of "full", which shocked the Hong Kong entertainment industry. In Hong Kong, there is no cinema that can reach full capacity, and Brilliant Cinema has already set a record on the first day of opening.

The newly renovated splendid cinema line has also allowed Hong Kong people to see the advancement of multiplex cinemas.

There are several halls in a theater, and different movies are screened at the same time, and there are comedies if you want to watch comedies, kung fu movies if you want to watch kung fu movies, and there are literary films if you want to watch literary films, so as to meet the viewing needs of different audiences to the greatest extent.

In the face of the aggressive Xu brothers, Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest also moved out their big productions and fought in the ring with the Xu brothers.

Shaw Brothers released the horror masterpiece "Seven Golden Corpses", which was filmed by Shaw Brothers in cooperation with the British company Salty Horse, and the theme covers the horror elements of the East and the West.

There are both vampires in the West and Maoshan zombies in the East, yellow runes and peach swords fly together, and the cross is a combination of Chinese and Western. The actor is also the most popular star in Hong Kong and the United Kingdom. Cushing 's.

In order to promote this film, Shaw Brothers also bought the entire pages of "Ming Pao" and "Oriental Daily" to promote it.

Golden Harvest also launched its own masterpiece "Hejing Blood", which is Golden Harvest's second work to enter Hollywood after "Raptors Across the River". The film was entirely independently financed by Golden Harvest and cost more than $10 million. The invited actors are all Hollywood celebrities, and the story is modeled after 007 James. Bond model.

For this movie, Golden Harvest also vigorously promoted it, not only using its magazines, but also buying "Sing Tao Daily", "Hong Kong Economic Daily" and so on.

The three-kingdom hegemony has filled the Hong Kong film industry with gunsmoke, and independent production companies can only retreat, lest they be affected by the pond fish.
