On the first day of '76, "Wishing you prosperity and greeting the New Year with the stars of the arts" was officially launched, and cheerful and festive Chinese New Year songs such as "God of Wealth Arrives", "Bless You", and "Happy Events Come" also began to be broadcast on radio and television programs, adding a lot of joy to Hong Kong in the New Year.

Hong Kong did not have a tradition of releasing Chinese New Year records, and people sometimes played some Cantonese opera for the Chinese New Year, but now it is clear that Cantonese opera is outdated, but there are no new songs to top this position.

The Chinese New Year album launched by Yisheng Records this year just fills this gap. The album is all sung by popular singers, and the lyrics and songs are all modeled on Western pop music, which makes young people feel very fashionable; And the lyrics are festive words such as celebrating reunion, welcoming festivals, and wishing you prosperity, which even the older generation feels pleasant to hear.

So after this Chinese New Year album was put on the shelves, it caused quite a stir, and the first batch of 50,000 albums was sold out in less than a week.

This album was also released in Taiwan, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia and other places at the same time, but unlike the Hong Kong version, the Taiwan version is dominated by local singers such as Deng Lijun, Cui Taoqing, Wan Shalang, etc., while the Singapore and Malaysian versions are dominated by singers from Singapore and Malaysia. Three versions of one album can be regarded as the first of Yisheng Records.

The downside of this is that the cost of production has tripled, but the benefits are also very clear. Singing with popular local singers has made fans more relatable, and sales have also increased significantly.

The album also released a small number of video versions, and included a total of four song MVs, including "Little Daughter-in-law Returns to Her Mother's Home", "The God of Wealth Arrives", "Happy Events Come Together" and "Bless You". is also directed by Mai Jia. made him call himself demoted to a MV director.

I don't know how Deng Lijun talked to A-Ying before. Xu Guanying really promised her to play the little daughter-in-law in the MV of "The Little Daughter-in-law Returns to Her Mother's Home", which really sacrificed her image and brought infinite laughter to the audience recklessly.

In return, Deng Lijun also played Xu Guanying's daughter-in-law in "Happy Events", and the couple wore a big red wedding dress and a big payi, which looked quite festive.

……

On the first day of the new year, the Chinese New Year album was a big hit. made a good start for Xu Guanwu, and Cheng Long's "Drunken Fist" had a box office of more than one million, which is also a happy event.

In order to reward the company's colleagues for a hard year, the Xu brothers did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to charter the Dynasty Seafood Restaurant and hold a grand New Year's banquet for seven consecutive days.

The magnitude of the stroke shocked Hong Kong!

At the banquet, there are not only meals, drinks, games to play, but also lottery, and the highest prize is a car worth 200,000 yuan.

At the New Year's banquet. The students of Xinghui Art School also performed wonderful programs, adding a perfect footnote to the hard work of this year.

Xu Guanwu saw that they could sing well. I danced and acted, and I was versatile, and I couldn't help but feel relieved that my investment was not in vain.

In addition to the wonderful performances of the students of Xinghui Art School, Zhang Guorong, Wen Na Band, Xu Xiaofeng and other company artists also took the stage and turned the New Year banquet into a party.

In the lucky draw, Mai Jia won women's cosmetics worth 3,000 yuan, which was later bought by Liang Shuyi for 1,000 yuan; Mars won a gas station voucher worth 5,000 yuan, but the kid didn't even have a car; Hong Jingbao won the lottery and took away the grand prize of Zuihou's car, and later paid 4,000 yuan to buy a voucher for Mars......

Everyone had to eat, drink, play, and watch, and they all had a lot of fun.

The only thing that has some flaws is that at the banquet the day before, Zeng Zhiwei drank too much and played a drunken madness, and went to Xu Guanwu with a wine glass, insisting on drinking three glasses of wine with him, and if he didn't drink it, he would talk nonsense.

Xu Guanwu knew that the reason why Zeng Zhiwei lost his temper was because the box office failure of "Li Sanjiao's Megatron Hellgate" released during the Christmas schedule was only 200,000 Hong Kong dollars in six days of release, which is one of the worst films at the box office since the establishment of the Xu brothers.

Even if Xu Guanwu cares about Zeng Zhiwei's face, after four days of box office improvement, he cut the release scale of "Li Sanjiao's Shock Hell Gate", and allocated half of the theaters to Cheng Long's "Drunken Fist".

Perhaps it was this move that caused Zeng Zhiwei's dissatisfaction, so at today's New Year's banquet, he made a fuss with the strength of wine.

Xu Guanwu couldn't help frowning when he saw his bare chest and breasts, full of alcohol, and nonsense.

On the side, Hong Jingbao saw Xu Guanwu's displeasure, and hurriedly beckoned his brother to send Zeng Zhiwei home.

"Mr. Xu, don't be like Zhiwei, he poured a few more beers, that's why he is so out of shape." Hong Jingbao played a round for Zeng Zhiwei.

"You don't have to say nice things for him, I know the ins and outs of the matter." Xu Guanwu frowned, "The box office failure of the movie is indeed depressing, but no matter how you can't use the strength of alcohol to play drunk here today." ”

"Yes, I'll turn around and scold him, Mr. Xu, don't be angry." Hong Jingbao saw that Xu Guanwu was really angry, and he couldn't help but hurriedly say good things.

Xu Guanwu nodded, not wanting to be like a drunk again.

……

The next day, after sobering up, Zeng Zhiwei went to find Hong Jingbao, he didn't drink too much when he was drunk yesterday, and if he really drank too much, he was directly sent to the hospital unconscious. He was actually a little sober at the time, and vaguely remembered that he yelled at his second boss together, and was later sent home by his colleagues.

But he can't remember what happened after the banquet, and he doesn't know if the second boss is angry. So after getting up, Zeng Zhiwei immediately went to his eldest brother Hong Jingbao to discuss countermeasures.

Although Zeng Zhiwei is already qualified as a director at the moment and is also a member of the Brilliant Seven Masterpieces, he still serves Hong Jingbao as his eldest brother, firstly, because he is grateful for his previous support; Second, Zeng Zhiwei is single-handed, and all the manpower used in filming is Hong Jingbao's subordinates, even if he wants to stand on his own, he has no capital.

Hong Jingbao is boxing in the park downstairs after getting up early, the so-called day does not practice hands, kung fu still has to be reviewed every day so that it will not regress.

Zeng Zhiwei also knew that Hong Jingbao had this rule, as long as he had time to get up early every day, he would practice a few times before eating. So as soon as he looked for it, he found Hong Jingbao. I saw him practicing Wing Chun there. It's not good to bother halfway and sit obediently aside.

Hong Jingbao sees all directions and listens to all directions. I had already seen Zeng Zhiwei coming, but he didn't finish the exercises immediately, but practiced for another half an hour, moving all the bones in his body, and then slowly stopped finishing the exercises.

"Big brother, drink some water." Zeng Zhiwei saw Hong Jingbao stop, and immediately poured a glass of warm water and handed it over.

Hong Jingbao glanced at him, took the water and rinsed his mouth. "Zhiwei, why didn't you sleep at home so early, and came to me?"

"I'm looking for you for morning tea, our brothers haven't had tea together for a long time." Zeng Zhiwei said with a smile.

Hong Jingbao smiled and went to a nearby tea restaurant with Zeng Zhiwei.

"Big brother, what are you eating, are you still the same, I called it for you." "After sitting down, Zeng Zhiwei first helped Hong Jingbao get a cup ......of strong tea, and then found a guy and shouted.

A moment later. All the refreshments were delivered, and Hong Jingbao was not polite. picked up the chopsticks and snorted, like a wind and clouds, and snatched up the dim sum in an instant, and Zeng Zhiwei had just picked up the chopsticks at this time.

"Hey, I'm sorry, I'm in a hurry." Hong Jingbao said while picking his teeth.

"It doesn't matter, the waiter will come and serve me again." Zeng Zhiwei smiled again.

"Then you eat slowly, I still have to film, I'll pay the bills." Hong Jingbao got up and said.

"Alas, don't, don't! It's time for me to invite you today. Zeng Zhiwei hurriedly stopped.

rushed to pay the bill, Zeng Zhiwei didn't drink morning tea anymore, and followed Hong Jingbao all the way to the filming venue.

"What, don't you have to go to the office today?" Sitting in the car, Hong Jingbao squinted at Zeng Zhiweidao.

"Big brother, don't play tricks on me." Zeng Zhiwei said with a bitter face, "I admit that I was not good yesterday, I was a bastard, and I lost my morality after drinking, which ruined everyone's interest." You'll forgive me this time. ”

"What's the use of me forgiving you, the key is that Mr. Xu is willing to forgive you." Hong Jingbao scolded, "It's all your stinky boy!" Yesterday's New Year banquet, Mr. Xu spent a lot of thought, just to let everyone eat, drink and have fun, but you kid poured a few cups of yellow soup, and he played drunk crazy with me there. You are slapping Mr. Xu in the face in front of everyone, do you know? At that time, Mr. Xu's face darkened, it wasn't for me to quickly let people pull you away when I saw the opportunity, I'm afraid you would have been fired a long time ago, you can think about it for me. ”

"It's me who is wrong, it's me who drank too much, and I'm unintentional." Zeng Zhiwei nodded like pounding garlic.

"Unintentional or intentional, everyone has a pair of eyes, and they can see clearly." Hong Jingbao sneered, "Zhiwei, you and I can have today, although we are capable, but we also need someone willing to give you a stage and let you play your talents." Without Mr. Xu's promotion, you and I would still be a Dragon and Tiger martial artist, earning a little money every month, and working hard anytime and anywhere. How can you sit in the director's chair like now, respond to every call, and have a salary and dividends? You're so forgetful. ”

"Brother Sanmao, I know I was wrong, you can help me say a few good words to Mr. Xu." Zeng Zhiwei was scolded by Hong Jingbao and sweated profusely.

"I know, I'll help you turn around, but you have to fight for yourself, don't stab this mess again." Hong Jingbao saw that he looked pitiful, and couldn't help but nod in his heart and said, "But whether Zuihou can forgive you or not depends on Mr. Xu's intentions." ”

"I know, I know, no matter what the outcome is, I am grateful for your help, big brother." Zeng Zhiwei thanked him with a thousand thanks.

Hong Jingbao nodded, didn't go to the set anymore, and directly took Zeng Zhiwei to the superstar manager company.

"You wait outside now, wait for me to come in and help you say good things, and when he is angry, I will call you in." Hong Jingbao admonished.

Zeng Zhiwei nodded obediently and sat on the sofa in a proper manner, not having the madness he had when he was drunk yesterday.

……

In the office, Xu Guanwu was reading the sales report of the Chinese New Year record, and the results were really gratifying, and the market response was also good. It proves that the album is quite successful.

"Mr. Xu!" After Hong Jingbao entered the door, he said with a sincere smile.

"Huh?! Sanmao, you're here, sit down! I drank so much alcohol yesterday, and I woke up so well this morning that I couldn't see the shadow of a hangover. I really envy how much you drink. Xu Guanwu said with a smile.

"Fat people have this benefit, the more meat and more alcohol." Hong Jingbao teased himself, "I just saw Mr. Xu's happy face, is there any good news?" ”

"Yes, the Stars New Year album sold 10,000 copies on the first day it hit the shelves, and the sales were very amazing." Xu Guanwu nodded.

"That's really to congratulate Mr. Xu." Hong Jingbao said with a smile, "I also bought one yesterday, and sure enough, the first song is good, festive and auspicious, and I also learned the song "God of Wealth". ”

"yes, sing it and listen to it, and if it's okay, I'll help you make an album to try." Xu Guanwu asked with a smile.

"Mr. Xu, don't make fun of me, my voice is okay with a Peking Opera veteran, but it's too difficult to release a Cantonese album." Hong Jingbao hurriedly waved his hand.

"Not really, you are so famous now, even if you don't sell a lot of albums, you must have tens of thousands of sales, and you won't make money for nothing." Xu Guanwu said with a smile, "Go back and sing the theme song of the movie first, give it a try, and if the response is good, you will release the album." It's also a way to make money, and it doesn't take much effort on your part. (To be continued......)
