Chapter 704: Good Friends Film Company

"You're moving to Canada because you're running away from my family?" Zhao Yazhi looked at Xu Guanwu in surprise, "This is crazy, I don't want to move to Canada, where the weather is cold and there are few people." ”

"Then if you stay in Hong Kong, your brothers and sisters will definitely keep coming to you to ask for money, and what if you give them money when you relent?" "If you don't want to move to Canada, then move to Los Angeles, or New York, London, Paris, Tokyo...... As long as you like. ”

"Are you sure this method works, and if you cut off their money, they will change it?" Zhao Yazhi thought for a while and asked.

"That's the way to get paid, if you keep giving them money, they're going to keep spending, and to be honest, they've spent a lot more than my pocket money." Xu Guanwu said, "You also know what they do with the money, if it is to invest or do business, I am willing to give them money, or give them some guidance." But they take the money to support the little stars, go to underground casinos to gamble, and even go to nightclubs to find dancers...... You have to cut off their money now, or they'll only get greedy, and they might end up sparing the whole company. ”

"If our family moves out, what if something happens to my family in Hong Kong?" Zhao Yazhi said, "I'm not by their side, and I always feel uneasy. ”

"Don't worry, things aren't as bad as you think, don't forget that the eldest brother is still in Hong Kong." If something does happen to your family, they won't sit idly by. Besides, now that the traffic is so developed, we will rush back as soon as we receive the news. You don't have to worry about it at all. ”

"Yes. Awu. It's so big, can you let me think about it first? Zhao Yazhi couldn't help but say gloomily when she heard it.

Xu Guanwu nodded, "Okay, tell me when you think about it, you have to think about this matter yourself, and I don't want to force you to make a decision." ”

……

Just when Zhao Yazhi was worried about her family, there was a big news in the Hong Kong film industry, that is, Zeng Zhiwei was back.

Last year, because of Xu Guanwu's bombing. Zeng Zhiwei was forced to leave Hong Kong for Taiwan. Now that more than half a year has passed, the bombing case has gradually been forgotten, and the impact is getting smaller and smaller, so Zeng Zhiwei returned to Hong Kong with the funds of Taiwanese film companies, intending to make a comeback and make a comeback.

The news of Zeng Zhiwei's return to Hong Kong quickly spread throughout the Hong Kong entertainment industry and attracted everyone's attention for a while. Although last year's bombing has been forgotten by Hong Kong citizens, it still seems as if it happened yesterday to people in the entertainment industry.

After all, the boss of Hui's Pictures was almost blown up, which stirred up the entire Hong Kong film industry at that time. Now Zeng Zhiwei is back with a swagger. I don't know what the Xu clan will do to him. After all, it's a new hatred and an old hatred.

Xu Guanwu saw the news of Zeng Zhiwei's return from the "Sing Tao Daily", although he had already heard the news from Chen Qili. But I didn't expect Zeng Zhiwei to come back so soon. And looking at the introduction in the newspaper, it seems that Zeng Zhiwei still has the support of Taiwanese film companies this time, and the start-up capital is 2 million Hong Kong dollars. It doesn't sound like much, but it's enough to make four medium-budget films.

The newspaper has a very high evaluation of Zeng Zhiwei's return to the nest, believing that the Hong Kong film industry has received capital injection from Taiwanese film companies, and its future development will definitely be more prosperous. However, Xu Guanwu knows that Taiwanese film companies are unprofitable and cannot afford to be early, and people invest to make money rather than to develop Hong Kong films. Therefore, the movies they generally invest in shooting are all recent popular themes, and they follow the trend to shoot a batch of movies to make a quick buck, as for whether this method is exhaustive and whether it will destroy the entire subject matter, no one cares. Therefore, the temporary red fire is certain, but the fire is a false fire.

After Zeng Zhiwei returned to Hong Kong, he immediately registered a film company called "Good Friends", and then borrowed the entire crew from Shaw Brothers, and then invited famous Taiwanese movie stars Hu Huizhong and Qin Xianglin to star in the food action movie "Dragon and Phoenix Tea Restaurant". Listening to the name, you know that this drama is following last year's popular "Full of Gold and Jade", but with the joining of the jade star Hu Huizhong and the literary student Qin Xianglin, there may be some intentions.

Xu Guanwu saw that the first film started by Good Friends Film Company was a food-themed movie shot in follow-up, and he couldn't help but strengthen his inner thoughts, knowing that Zeng Zhiwei brought money from Taiwanese film companies over to make quick money. Xu Guanwu has no objection to making movies to make money, but he does hate the style of following the trend of making films, which lacks originality, and Hong Kong movies will collapse sooner or later.

Zeng Zhiwei's new film "Dragon and Phoenix Tea Restaurant" announced that it would be released in Shaw Brothers theaters, which is actually his only choice. Xu's glorious cinema chain will definitely not show his movies. Jiahe and Zeng Zhiwei's festival is not over, Zeng Zhiwei still remembers that Jiahe kicked him out of the door in cold blood that day. And Golden Harvest is also dissatisfied with Zeng Zhiwei, and now the company is full of talents, and large and small film companies have also attracted more than a dozen, and there is no shortage of good films to be released at present, so even if he knew that Zeng Zhiwei would come, he did not invite him back to Golden Harvest.

However, Shaw Brothers knows that Zeng Zhiwei is a good director, and his brain is very flexible, and Zeng Zhiwei also wants to use Shaw Brothers' people to film and release movies with the help of their theaters. Therefore, the two families hit it off and soon came together. Although good friends have not yet explicitly invested in Shaw Brothers, the two companies are clearly in the honeymoon period, and the cooperation is quite tacit.

After Zeng Zhiwei's new film started filming, news continued to break out. Zeng Zhiwei revealed to the media that he left Hong Kong before he was purely forced by others and had no choice but to do so. At first, the media thought that Xu Guanwu forced him, after all, the Xu Guanwu bombing case was a sensation at that time, and it was indeed possible if he forced Zeng Zhiwei to leave Hong Kong. Therefore, in the first few days, everyone concentrated on reporting the news that Xu Guanwu forced Zeng Zhiwei to leave Hong Kong, and there were many criticisms of Xu Guanwu's domineering.

Over the years, the newspaper "Tiantian Daily" has given Xu Guanwu a lot of opponents, just like the 36X that was the first to promote free antivirus software in his previous life. Basically offended all the Internet giants. It was also criticized by those websites from time to time. When encountering news that is unfavorable to it, it is bound to be placed in a conspicuous position, and even pop-up windows prompt people to click to watch, lest netizens not see those news.

Now Xu Guanwu is like the president of 36X in his previous life in Hong Kong, and all news that is unfavorable to him will be put in the headlines, as if he is afraid that Hong Kong citizens will not see it. In the face of the smear of these media, the Xu Group naturally did not sit idle, and immediately the legal department issued dozens of lawyers' letters, suing all these media in one go.

The Hong Kong media has such benefits. As soon as you see the lawyer's letter, you will immediately publish an apology letter in the next issue of the newspaper, and then come to the door to apologize. When people say they won't pursue it anymore, how to write it in retrospect. Because of Hong Kong's policy of free speech, and because these media are also good at playing the sidelines, it is difficult to define whether these news constitute infringement.

If you want to fight a lawsuit, you have to idle for at least half a year, and to be honest, there is so much news in Hong Kong every day. People like the new and hate the old. The lawsuit lasted for more than half a year, and people forgot about the news by then. What's the use of fighting a lawsuit, it's just a waste of money and finding your own guilt. So unless you are really angry and unstoppable, few people will insist on suing the media.

Although the Xu Group is not afraid of lawsuits, no matter how long it is, it can afford to spend it, but it also knows that the Hong Kong media is a dog, remember to eat or not, forget the pain of the scar, for the sake of sales, even if you know that you may get into a lawsuit, you must report it first. With such a dead-faced scoundrel style, it is useless for you to sue him. Even if this newspaper is banned, the boss behind it will soon open another newspaper. Continuing to issue under a different name is simply impossible to prevent.

is like Yang Shoucheng's "East Weekly", because of the publication of Liu Jialing's nude photos, Hong Kong celebrities came out to protest en masse, and they were forced to stop publishing because of excessive pressure from public opinion. However, it was resold at a high price five months later, and immediately began to resume sales. In fact, the reason why these newspapers and magazines dare to write indiscriminately is mainly because Hong Kong citizens are generally under pressure, and it is most suitable to watch this kind of curious, gossipy lace news to relax their nerves.

And these newspapers and magazines because of their more terrifying content, and from time to time publish some eye-catching pictures of the edge ball, plus most of the negative news of celebrities, lace news, etc., after reading it, laughed, and had something to talk about, so it is very popular with Hong Kong citizens, such as "East Weekly", "Next Weekly" and other gossip magazines have sold more than 200,000 copies per issue, which can be described as quite good sales.

In the same way, most of these newspapers that like to publish rich scandals are also for sales. As for the ethics of the newspaper operator, his reputation, and his conscience, let the dog eat it. Anyway, the atmosphere in Hong Kong is to respect Luo Yi first and then others, laugh at the poor and not at prostitutes, you can speak loudly if you have money, and you won't come to the door if you don't have money.

After the Xu Group issued the lawyer's letter, these media immediately stopped for two days, but then the shocking news broke out, saying that it was not Xu Guanwu who forced Zeng Zhiwei to leave Hong Kong, but Zou Wenhuai, the boss of Golden Harvest Pictures. The reversal immediately attracted the attention of the media, and follow-up coverage began immediately.

Seeing this situation, Xu Guanwu couldn't help but feel a little familiar, and after thinking about it carefully, isn't this the scene when Zeng Zhiwei turned his head and bombarded his old club Xu after he jumped to Golden Harvest? ! It's just that the last time he bombarded the Xu family, this time he bombarded Jiahe instead. Anyway, now that he has left Golden Harvest, he has Shaw Brothers as a partner, and he has a Taiwanese film company as his backer, so he just used the bombardment of Golden Harvest to express his resentment, and by the way, he also helped the new film "Dragon and Phoenix Tea Restaurant" to warm up and promote.

"I can't imagine that he went to Taiwan for more than half a year, and he still used the same old routine when he came back." Xu Guanwu couldn't help but shake his head and said, he was really very dissatisfied with Zeng Zhiwei's behavior of picking up the bowl to eat and putting down the bowl to scold his mother.

However, it is obvious that Zeng Zhiwei has the support of Taiwanese film companies this time, and he is much more confident and bold than before. This time, even Xu Guanwu was used by him, and he didn't have the courage to put it in the past.

Regarding Zeng Zhiwei's behavior of eating bowl noodles and reversing the bottom of the bowl, Golden Harvest's performance is as hot as ever, and he also wants to break the news outside to criticize Zeng Zhiwei's various evil behaviors during his time at Golden Harvest, such as molesting the female artists under Golden Harvest, such as forcing female artists to accompany wine and sing, such as using the company's investment and filming money to raise a younger brother......

There are also a lot of media talking to Golden Harvest in Hong Kong, and the two sides are fighting very lively, and all kinds of revelations are flooding major newspapers, so that Hong Kong citizens have a good time to get their eyes addicted, Zeng Zhiwei has also greatly improved his popularity, and the movie "Dragon and Phoenix Tea Restaurant" he is filming is also very popular.

In particular, this drama is the first time that Hu Huizhong, a young female star in Taiwan and known as "Kobayashi Qingxia", came to Hong Kong to film, so the media in both Hong Kong and Taiwan still pay more attention. (To be continued......)
