Chapter 180: The Cold-Blooded Director (Ask for Collection)
In addition to arranging personal bodyguards for himself, Xu Guanwu also specially recruited a security team to give 24-hour strict protection to all his companies and properties to prevent any more criminals from causing trouble.
Although it will cost a lot of money, Xu Guanwu still feels that it is worth the money.
The police fire investigation is ongoing, Xu Guanwu has offered a reward of 50,000 yuan for clues, and the clues are gradually gathering, and the truth seems to be getting closer and closer.
Xu Guanwu is now closely watching the investigation of this incident, because if the police investigation is inconclusive, then the insurance company's claims settlement work will not be carried out.
Xu Guanwu pays insurance for his properties and employees, with an annual insurance amount of tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars, and is one of AIA's major customers in Hong Kong.
This time, the amount of the claim was as high as nearly 2 million Hong Kong dollars, so the American AIA insurance company also attached great importance to the fire at the Palace Theater, and specially sent cadres to participate in the investigation and claim work.
……
Just when Xu Guanwu was anxiously waiting for the results of the investigation, another anxious thing came out.
When director Gui Zhihong was filming the sequel to "Cheng Kee Teahouse" "Big Brother Cheng", because he wanted to shoot the road chase scene, in order to pursue realistic picture effects, he actually let the actors run around the busy streets without applying for road blockade.
As a result, the starring Chen Guantai and the two dragon and tiger martial artists couldn't dodge, and were hit by a moving car and fell to the ground, and it also caused a traffic jam in Central, so that the producer was arrested and taken to the police station for questioning, and even Xu Guanwu was warned by the police department.
Hearing this news, Xu Guanwu was also dumbfounded.
Although he knew early on that Gui Zhihong was a cult director, he had always been not afraid of heaven and earth, and he did all kinds of surprising and inexplicable things.
But in order to pursue the authenticity and credibility of the movie, it is too much for the actor to risk his life to jaywalk, so that the actor was hit by a car and had to be sent to the hospital for treatment.
If this kind of thing happens in the United States, then Gui Zhihong will definitely be sued in court, and don't even think about directing it in the future.
"It's really the thirstier you are, the more you eat salt, it's already a mess, but I didn't expect him to do it again." Xu Guanwu was very dissatisfied.
But it has happened, and it is useless to complain, so I have to accept this reality.
Xu Guanwu sighed, changed into a dark suit, and took his third brother Xu Guanying, escorted by bodyguards, to the hospital to comfort the injured.
"Second brother, your bodyguards are hugging each other, it's really majestic." Xu Guanying sat in the car, escorted by bodyguards in front and behind, and couldn't help but say enviously.
"If you're envious, how about getting you two bodyguards too?" Xu Guanwu said with a smile.
"Forget it, I still like someone." Xu Guanying waved his hand and said, "Besides, I'm not as rich as your second brother, and the annual salary of a bodyguard is 200,000, which is more than what I earn." ”
"How is it possible, are you short of money now?" Xu Guanwu asked in surprise.
Although he didn't give Xu Guanying money, in terms of Hui's Pictures' dividends, as well as salary, bonuses, etc., Xu Guanying also had an income of more than one million last year, and he is already a very high-income person in the Hong Kong film industry. There's absolutely no shortage of money to spend.
"That's not it, I mean his monthly salary is 20,000 Hong Kong, and my monthly salary is only 5,000 Hong Kong dollars, which is even less than him." Xu Guanying explained.
"People are going to be born and die, and their lives are in danger at any time, and 20,000 Hong Kong dollars a month is not much." Xu Guanwu smiled, "If you want to increase your monthly salary, how about I arrange a position for you in the company?" The deputy editor-in-chief of the newspaper, how about a monthly salary of 15,000? ”
"Forget it, I prefer to go out and act rather than sit in the office. That can be a showman. Xu Guanying said with a grin.
"Well, A-Ying, you often come into contact with a lot of girls when you're acting outside, if it's interesting, let's talk about one while you're young." Xu Guanwu thought of his lonely old age, and couldn't help urging.
"I see, second brother. But those girls are so beautiful, and I'm so ugly, I'm afraid I don't deserve them. Xu Guanying said with a frown.
"Nonsense, you are the owner of a film company, a multi-millionaire, a young handsome, and an authentic diamond king. It is difficult to find conditions like yours in the whole of Hong Kong, which girl is not worthy? The daughter of the Macau gambling king, or the daughter of the governor of Hong Kong? Xu Guanwu shouted.
Xu Guanying couldn't help but laugh happily when she heard her second brother say this, "How can I be as good as you say second brother?" ”
"Of course there is, A-Ying, you must not feel inferior, go up when you see something pleasing to the eye, and rush forward when you have the opportunity. The second brother will always support you behind you. Xu Guanwu patted him on the shoulder and said earnestly.
"Good, good!" Xu Guanying was overjoyed when she heard this, and said good things again and again.
Xu Guanwu couldn't help but smile when he saw it, Xu Guanying's personality is really like a child, sometimes he just needs more care from his family.
"Until now, many people don't remember my name, either call me Xu Guanwen's younger brother, or call me Xu Guanjie's brother, I seem to be living in their shadow." This is Xu Guanying's monologue during his depression.
"A-Ying, you sing very well, why don't you release a record for me this summer?" Xu Guanwu asked with a smile.
"I'm out on a record?! No, I'm so ugly, fans won't appreciate it. Xu Guanying's eyes lit up at first, and she couldn't help but smile, but Zuihou still waved her hand and refused.
"It's ugly, I think it's pretty good." Xu Guanwu said with a smile, "Besides, as long as the song is sung well, who stipulates that you have to be a handsome guy to release a record?" ”
"Second brother, are you really going to help me make a record? It's going to be a loss. Xu Guanying said with a frown when she heard the second brother say this.
"No, the second brother has confidence in you. Didn't you also sing the theme song of "Money Cold" last year? I think it's pretty good. Xu Guanwu said with a smile.
"But after the movie aired, it didn't cause any repercussions. It seems that the audience doesn't approve of it, so I'd better stop singing. Xu Guanying waved his hand and said.
"The responsibility is not on you, last year it was Jiahe who made trouble, and there was no vigorous publicity, so that song was not popular. This year is different, second brother, I will make a lot of efforts to support you, and I have to make you the number one red singer in Hong Kong. Xu Guanwu patted him on the shoulder and said.
Xu Guanying's singing skills are actually very good, and she has also released two albums and achieved very good sales results. What's even more surprising is that he not only has excellent singing skills, but is also proficient in songwriting. "Ruthless Night Cold Wind", composed by himself, is a classic Cantonese love song.
Xu Guanwu's Yisheng record now has only Xu Xiaofeng, Wen Na Band, and two or three big cats and kittens. Although the records are selling well, there is still a lack of talent.
In that case, there is no reason why we should not give priority to our brothers.
"Second brother, what if the record sales are not high?" Xu Guanying said worriedly.
"No, the second brother will personally help you compose the lyrics and music, now you will always have confidence." Xu Guanwu said with a smile.
"Really?!" Xu Guanying happily turned his head to look at Xu Guanwudao.
"Naturally it's true, when did the second brother lie to you?" Xu Guanwu said with a smile.
"Then I'll have confidence." Xu Guanying smiled with satisfaction.
Although the second brother Xu Guanwu does not have many works, each of them is a classic, such as "Walking on the Road of Life", "Sweet Honey", "Ghost Horse Double Star", and "Applause" have achieved very good sales results.
With the help of the second brother to compose lyrics and music, there is no worry about not having good singing.
For a while, Xu Guanying laughed very happily.
……
When he arrived at the hospital, Xu Guanwu took Xu Guanying to the ward of Chen Guantai and others.
In the ward, several family members of the injured were accompanying the bedside, crying and wiping away tears.
When Chen Guantai and the others saw that the big boss actually came to visit the patient in person, they were all very excited and struggled to stand up.
“biedong,biedong! 10 million biedong! If I touch the wound, I am guilty of a mortal sin. Xu Guanwu said hurriedly.
"Mr. Xu, I didn't expect you to come to see us in person." Chen Guantai said very movingly.
Who is Xu Guanwu? The big boss of the company, a film tycoon on an equal footing with Sir Shaw Yifu, came to visit his condition in person today, which was really unexpected to him.
"You're Atai's boss, huh? My son is filming for you, and he is injured like this, what does your company say? An old man stepped forward and pointed at Xu Guanwu and said loudly.
