The next day, "Xingma Daily" and "Ming Pao" really published the news of Xu Guanwu's cultivation of "Shusheng Qigong". "Ming Pao" started with martial arts novels, and even perfunctory set of "scholarly qigong" moves, such as "luck dantian", "hands full of energy", etc., with a look of pretentiousness, which made Xu Guanwu laugh straight down.

Lin Qingxia had already listened to Xu Guanwu's story yesterday, and today she couldn't help but laugh when she saw these two newspapers publishing the news. "Sing Tao Daily and Ming Pao are the two largest paid newspapers in Hong Kong at present, and I thought their news would be as truthful, objective and fair. Unexpectedly, it is also self-deception, and even such fake news is published. ”

Xu Guanwu smiled, "If you want to be fair, just, and true to be a newspaper in Hong Kong, then don't want to make money. Just like "Ta Kung Pao" and "Wen Wei Po", it is really miserable now. And if you want to make money, don't talk about any principles. Whatever news is the most sensational will be reported, and what news will be the biggest seller will be hyped. Not to mention, didn't the "Oriental Daily" in the past few years become popular by hyping up the news of the vendetta of the Black X Gang? The Ma brothers are the big brother of the Black X Road, and they often receive news in advance, and then they send their reporters to ambush them, and sure enough, there are insiders every time, which naturally attracts a group of citizens who like to watch the excitement to buy it. ”

"Alas, it turns out that all the crows in the world are generally black," Lin Qingxia couldn't help but sigh when she heard Xu Guanwu say this, "I just hope that other readers won't be misguided after reading it, believe it and think that you really have any 'scholarly skills'." When the time comes, the phone will blow up all over you. ”

Lin Qingxia became a prophecy. In the next few days, sure enough, Xu Guanwu's phone was blown up. I don't know where they got their phone numbers from, they all want to ask Xu Guanwu to teach the so-called "scholarly qi gong", and they also dream of prolonging life, nourishing the kidneys and strengthening the body, and staying young forever.

Xu Guanwu was not ambiguous, and told them several key points that must be paid attention to when practicing calligraphy, and told them to practice calligraphy for an hour every day, which is a long time. When kung fu arrives, it can naturally prolong life, nourish the kidneys and strengthen the body, and stay young forever.

"Ah Wu, did you tell them about the way spirit? What if something goes wrong with the practice? Zhao Yazhi asked suspiciously.

Xu Guanwu smiled, "Practicing calligraphy can indeed cultivate sentiment, and over time, people's temperament will be sublimated." Moreover, practicing calligraphy is a good exercise, although the range of movement is not large, but it requires the strength of the whole body. What could be healthier for those bosses who spend a lot of time in the office than exercising regularly? Besides, practicing calligraphy is a very healthy activity. It's better to practice calligraphy at home for an hour behind closed doors than to go outside and spend all day drinking, right? Without so many bad habits, people's health, life expectancy, and spirit will improve a lot. Strengthening the body and prolonging life will not be an empty word. ”

"You, always have so many fancy intestines." Zhao Yazhi couldn't help but smile after listening to Xu Guanwu's analysis.

……

In addition to the news of Xu Guanwu's practice of calligraphy, the two newspapers "Sing Tao Daily" and "Ming Pao" also published several articles praising "There is No Gate to Hell". Although the authors of these articles tried their best to hide the meaning of the tout and pretend to be a fair judgment, they still have a lot of praise for this movie between the lines, and it seems that Wu Siyuan spent money. The newspaper also specifically mentioned Xu Guanwu's praise for "No Gate to Hell" and director Xu Ke.

However, although Xu Guanwu helped to tout, and Wu Siyuan invited a number of media to help promote it, the box office of "No Gate to Hell" still did not improve much. Mainly because the subject matter is so dark, although the sword may win by surprise, it also takes a considerable risk. And this time, it is obvious that Xu Ke has gone by the back word, "No Gate to Hell" invested 800,000 Hong Kong dollars, but the box office recovered in the end was less than 200,000, so Wu Siyuan really lost to his grandmother's house again this time.

The key is that Hong Kong is not a blockbuster, and the prices of Nanyang, Taiwan and other important box office centers in Hong Kong cannot be raised, maybe people look at Wu Siyuan's face and pay more than 100,000 yuan to buy the movie, at most, Wu Siyuan can only recover the cost, and if he wants to make money, he will be hands-free.

This means that the hard work of the employees up and down Siyuan Film Company for nearly a year has been in vain, the so-called boat against the current will retreat if you don't advance, and the box office fiasco of "No Door to Hell" made Wu Siyuan hit the south wall solidly.

Although Xu Ke didn't sell two movies in a row, he was surprised that there were still film companies willing to ask him to film, but he was scared off by the high price shouted by Wu Siyuan.

Wu Siyuan doesn't know what to do with Xu Ke now, continue to invest in him to film, if he doesn't sell out again, he will have to jump into the sea with a stone. If he is no longer allowed to make movies, it will be a waste of rice to raise an idler, and he can't bear to watch Xu Ke's youth be wasted.

As for other film companies inviting Xu Ke to direct new films, Wu Siyuan's attitude was also welcome, but he only proposed that either the salary should be higher, or the film would be handed over to Siyuan Film Company for distribution after filming...... After all, he has already lost two whole movies, and now his eyes are starting to glow green, if the robbery is not illegal, Wu Siyuan has the heart to rob HSBC with a gun.

However, no company was willing to agree to these two requests he made, mainly because Wu Siyuan asked for too much money, asking Xu Ke to make a movie, and in addition to giving Xu Ke 50,000 Hong Kong dollars, he also had to give Siyuan Film Company 50,000 Hong Kong dollars, which together is a huge sum of 100,000 Hong Kong dollars, for some small film companies, this is almost all their belongings. If this money is given to Wu Siyuan, then there will be no funds to start filming for the new film, and naturally there will be no need for Xu Ke.

Xu Ke was also a little dissatisfied with Wu Siyuan's actions, and did not give him investment in filming, and did not let him film for other companies. To be honest, it's still a trivial matter to not be able to make money, the key is that you can't get exercise when you're idle, and it's a big deal to waste his youth in vain. But after all, this matter started because of him, so although there were complaints, Xu Ke still didn't say anything, he just wanted to conceive another movie to impress Wu Siyuan.

……

Teddy Robin's contact with Shaw has also made progress in the past few days, and Shaw Brothers has proposed a sky-high termination fee to scare Teddy Robin away. A full 12 million liquidated damages. At that time, it was absolutely affordable, and it was a sky-high price. To be honest, even Zhang Guorong. Tan Yilin and other first-line singers of the Xu family, the termination fee is only two or three million. And the termination fee of Cheng Long, Hong Jingbao, Yuan Biao and other first-line movie stars is only 20 million.

Although Zhong Chuhong's reputation has skyrocketed now, his popularity is still quite inferior to that of his predecessors. The termination fee of up to 12 million is really much more than what she is worth now.

In his previous life, in 82 years, Xu Guanzhuo starred in "Best Partner", and the salary of 2 million had already scared Huang Baiming into a cold sweat. Now the Shaw Brothers actually shouted a high price of 12 million, to be honest, even if Zhong Chuhong was made of gold, he couldn't sell it at such a high price.

Shaw's move was mainly to avoid being poached. Raise a sky-high price to directly scare off those who want to poach, so as to ensure that their artists will not be abducted.

Teddy Robin was taken aback when he heard Shaw shout out the price of 12 million. 12 million, he has been a child star since he was a child, and he has worked hard in the entertainment industry for so many years, and he has only saved one or two million. Now Shaw Brothers dared to shout 12 million for a newcomer, and his first feeling was that Shaw Brothers was poor and crazy.

However, after all, he was just helping Xu Guanwu to interrogate, so he did not show dissatisfaction. Instead, he smiled and said that he would go back and think about it, and then told Xu Guanwu about the conditions offered by the Shaw Family.

Zhao Yazhi heard that the Shaw Brothers marked a sky-high price of 12 million for Zhong Chuhong. I couldn't help but be bluffed. A few years ago, after the first day of Hui's signing with the Chinese music scene, Deng Lijun only spent 5 million Hong Kong dollars. Although she and Zhong Chuhong are good friends, to put it mildly, she doesn't think that Zhong Chuhong's worth is already that high, which is really too exaggerated.

Xu Guanwu didn't hesitate too much, to be honest, 12 million, Honggu is still worth this price. Not to mention anything else, just talking about the many movies starring her, the box office adds up to at least 100 million Hong Kong dollars. What's more, there are advertising endorsements, attendance at events and other income, and this money is much more than making movies. And with Zhong Chuhong's high quality, it is easiest to endorse jewelry, brand-name clothing, luxury cars and mansions and other high-end goods, and the endorsement fees of these products are amazingly high. So from a long-term perspective, it is definitely worth it to buy Honggu for 12 million now.

Therefore, after Xu Guanwu received the news from Teddy Robin, he immediately raised a huge sum of 12 million Hong Kong dollars and bought Honggu's contract.

Seeing that Xu Guanwu did not hesitate at all, Teddy Robin immediately agreed, and was taken aback and almost fainted on the spot. I can't imagine that I have worked hard for so many years, and I can't compare to a beauty pageant lady who has just debuted, which is really infuriating.

Zhao Yazhi was also full of doubts about Xu Guanwu's boldness, to be honest, it was 12 million Hong Kong dollars, and at that time he could buy a building in Kowloon, but now he is just paying a ransom for Zhong Chuhong.

"My husband won't have anything to do with Chu Hong, right?" The more Zhao Yazhi thought about it, the more suspicious she became.

"Stanley, you have to think about it carefully, the Shaw Brothers are obviously ripping bamboo this time, you can't afford to be slaughtered so hard by it." Teddy Robin said to Xu Guanwu, "Twelve million is really not a small amount, you have to think carefully before giving it too late." Besides, now that Miss Zhong is on your side again, fortunately, you can hide and spend a while with him, to see who can spend whom in the end? Like Xu Shaoqiang, didn't he just accept Shaw Brothers' money at the beginning, so he hid out and didn't see Li's face, but Li's couldn't survive in the end, didn't he let him leave obediently? ”

"Yes, Ah Wu, as long as Chu Hong doesn't show up now, the Shaw Clan can't do anything. Twelve million is not a small number, and we should not set a precedent. Otherwise, there are so many talents in Hong Kong, and if we want to poach people again, and they offer such a high price, we will also be very passive and suffer. Zhao Yazhi also persuaded.

Xu Guanwu saw that both of them were opposed, and after listening to what the two of them said, he couldn't help but feel that there was some truth. There are indeed many, many talents in Hong Kong who are not in the Xu family, such as the famous Xu Laowei, such as Wu Yusen, such as Yuan Heping, such as Di Long, Jiang Dawei, etc., each of them is no better than Zhong Chuhongci.

If he is willing to pay a sky-high ransom of 12 million for Zhong Chuhong this time, then if he wants to poach people from other companies in the future, this price may rise even higher. He is not the little superman Li Zekai, Zhong Chuhong is not Isabella Liang Luoshi, the sky-high price of 12 million seems to really need to be considered at this moment.

"In that case, let's wait and talk about it." Xu Guanwu thought about it for a while and said, "When I go back, I will arrange for Zhong Chuhong to go out and go to the United States to study for half a year." If Shaw has any further action, such as filing a lawsuit or making concessions, we will make the next move. (To be continued......)
