Zhao Yazhi's parents heard the news that Xu Guanwu planned to go to the United States for development, and they also planned to invite him to their home for dinner, and asked him how to deal with the relationship with their daughter by the way, but was resolutely stopped by the tender-faced Zhao Yazhi.

The news that Xu Guanwu decided to go to the United States made Zhao Yazhi at a loss.

I didn't know whether to go with Xu Guanwu, nor did I know whether to break up with him, so Zhao Yazhi, who couldn't make a decision, had to escape reality like an ostrich.

Before Xu Guanwu got on the plane, she had been hiding from meeting Xu Guanwu.

It wasn't until the moment he got on the plane that Xu Guanwu had passed the security check, and Zhao Yazhi quietly walked out.

"I'll take you when I'm settled over there." Xu Guanwu has been searching for Zhao Yazhi's traces, and originally thought that she would not come, but when he saw her pretty figure, Xu Guanwu was still excited.

Zhao Yazhi nodded, and was about to say something, when she saw that Xu Guanwu had been pushed away by the flow of people. There was a sudden heartache in my heart, and I hated myself for not showing up earlier.

"I don't know how long it will take." Zhao Yazhi thought with tears in her eyes.

……

Xu Guanwu took a plane to Hollywood, the United States, where the Golden Harvest branch is located.

Hollywood is home to more than 500 film and television companies, attracting a large number of top directors, actors, screenwriters, and stuntmen.

Countless people come here every day to pursue their dreams, and countless people choose to leave every day in disappointment, all in all, this is a huge dream machine.

In the sixties and seventies, American cinema was still at a low ebb, and Hollywood had studios closing every day, as well as studios opening.

The opening of Golden Harvest's American branch was a big fanfare, and Xu Guanwu specially invited a dragon and lion dance team from Los Angeles' Chinatown to dance on Burbank Street for two days in a row.

Although this item cost $100,000, it made a sign for Golden Harvest, and for a time the whole Hollywood knew that a Hong Kong film company had opened.

In this way, it has attracted many down-and-out producers, actors, and directors to explore a thing or two.

In order to support Xu Guanwu's work, Jiahe sent two old courtiers of Jiahe to help, and naturally also took on the responsibility of monitoring.

Zhou Zhengyang, the old courtier who Zou Wenhuai followed out of the Shaw Brothers, has a lot of qualifications than Xu Guanwu, and he is very experienced in film production.

Cui Yuye, who once studied in the United States, returned to Hong Kong to join Golden Harvest, and was kicked back to the United States by He Guanchang. He had previously studied film in the United States and had a deep understanding of local American films.

The branch was opened, and although there were only three people in total, the sparrow was small and had all the organs.

Manager Xu Guanwu is responsible for reviewing the board; Zhou Zhengyang is responsible for accounting for investment costs; Cui Yuye is in charge of liaison and publicity.

When Xu Guanwu first arrived in Hollywood, he was really full of pride, and he wanted to open up the situation and show his strength, and he would be warmly welcomed whenever someone came.

But for a month in a row, there were almost three to five thousand people talking, but no superstars that Xu Guanwu would be familiar with in the future appeared, nor did he bring well-known scripts for later generations.

"Those future big directors and big stars, where are you nested?" Xu Guanwu was so flustered that he knocked on the table idly.

Although he liked Hong Kong movies very much before he crossed over, he was not ignorant of Hollywood movies.

In the eighties and nineties, American cinema began to rise, and there were indeed many masterpieces that have been passed down to future generations. For example, the "Rocky" series, the "Die Hard" series, the "First Blood" series, the "Jaws" series, the "Terminator" series, the "Alien" series, the "Star Wars" series, the "Star Trek" series, and so on.

Of these series of movies, Xu Guanwu only caught one, and he could become famous in Hollywood.

However, he also read many scripts during this time, but they all reflect social reality, advocate X liberation, call for anti-war, and so on.

This kind of film may win one or two awards at a certain awards ceremony, but it will kill at the box office without exception. This kind of film is even avoided by the eight major film companies, how dare Xu Guanwu invest in filming.

And Cui Yuye also frequently ran out during this time, holding cash to find major film companies, seeking opportunities to cooperate again, but also received a few orders of projects back.

However, after Zhou Zhengyang's accounting, Jiahe has to invest tens of millions of dollars in each project, but the rate of return is scary, and there is no investment value at all.

Xu Guanwu saw Cui Yuye's somewhat depressed face, and couldn't help but feel a little funny in his heart, "Those giants in Hollywood are bloodsuckers, how can those projects that are obviously making money be let for you to do." All he can launch are projects with low returns that he doesn't look at. Trying to find a leak in these projects is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack. ”

Xu Guanwu wanted to write a script by himself, but after thinking about it, he thought that except for remembering that he had watched a few "Terminators" and "Die Hard", he couldn't even make up a story outline.

And the few movies I thought of had an investment of more than 10 million US dollars, which is not something that the current Golden Harvest can afford.

"Alas, Maximas, where are you all hiding, come to me quickly. I'm waiting for you. Xu Guanwu knocked on the table and said boredly.

"Excuse me, is this Golden Harvest Pictures?" Just when Xu Guanwu was so bored that he wanted to bang his head against the wall, he heard a man's muffled voice.

Xu Guanwu looked up and looked out, and was taken aback.

I saw the burly figure of the man outside the door, sturdy like a cement pier, with a stubbled beard on his mouth and a lonely face, and his expression stiff as if carved from marble.

Pulled down the corners of his eyes, a slurred voice, and that trademark unsmiling expression.

"Stallone?!" Xu Guanwu was shocked in his heart, jumped out from behind the table all of a sudden, took three steps and made two steps to rush to the door, and welcomed the future action superstar in.

"Hello sir, I'm Sylvester. Stallone. The future film superstar looks a little embarrassed at the moment.

Xu Guanwu found that the clothes on his body were all old goods, and the boots on his feet were also worn in many places, so it could be seen that Stallone's life was not very good recently.

Stallone couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed when he found Xu Guanwu staring at the old boots on his feet, and he stomped his feet and made a few crisp sounds.

This sound reminded Xu Guanwu, "Ah, Mr. Stallone, hello! How can I help you? ”

Xu Guanwu smiled kindly, like a strange Shu millet who kidnapped Lori to see the goldfish.

"I recently wrote a script and I'm looking for someone to invest in, and I want you to read it." Stallone said, pulling out the script he was carrying in his arms.

Xu Guanwu suppressed the excitement in his heart, stretched out his hand to take the script, and saw that the script had been turned over many times, and even the corners were wrinkled.

On the cover, there are several colorful English letters "ROCKY".

"That's right, it's the dark horse in the film industry who invested less than one million dollars, but Zuihou's box office revenue exceeded 200 million US dollars, and he also won ten Oscar nominations and won three trophies." Xu Guanwu almost cheered, but he still tried his best to hold back the excitement in his heart.
