Fast forward to the summer vacation, directed by Wu Yusen, starring Zhou Yunfa, Zhang Guorong, and Zhong Chuhong, "Across the Seas" was officially released in Hong Kong.

This drama combines the fierceness of action movies, the blood of gunfight films, the romance of romance films, and the humor of comedy films.

"Across the Seas" took half a year to produce and was filmed on location in Paris, France, and is a rare action blockbuster in Hong Kong. In this film, Zhou Yunfa challenged the shootout film for the first time, changing the handsome image of the previous literary and artistic students. Zhang Guorong has also changed from the previous handsome student image to the more handsome image of the thief of Babel, although the first shooting of an action movie made him suffer a lot, but seeing his dominance on the screen, he still feels that the efforts of these months are quite worthwhile. Zhong Chuhong played the red bean sister in the film, beautiful, sexy, charming and amorous, which made the two men haunted her dreams, and also made her the dream goddess of a generation of young men.

"Across the Seas" did not go through the midnight test screening, and after the completion of post-production, it was directly ripped and released in brilliant theaters. The box office on the first day was not very high, only hundreds of thousands of Hong Kong dollars, which made Zhou Runfa, Zhong Chuhong and others very nervous for a while, worried that this film would not be a blockbuster, and Zhang Guorong was even more worried that he made several calls to Xu Guanwu in a row.

"Mr. Xu, have you read the newspaper?" Zhang Guorong asked nervously.

"I haven't seen it yet, what's wrong?" Xu Guanwu was having breakfast with Zhao Yazhi, when he heard the phone ringing, he picked it up and heard it was Zhang Guorong, which couldn't help but make him stunned.

"The newspaper said that the box office of "Across the Seas" on the first day was only 700,000 Hong Kong dollars." Zhang Guorong said worriedly.

"700,000 Hong Kong dollars?! That's not less. Xu Guanwu smiled and said. What's wrong. Leslie. What are you worried about? ”

"I'm worried that this drama will not be able to recover the cost of Mr. Xu." Zhang Guorong said.

"Don't worry, you have to have confidence in yourself, yesterday was the first day of release, and it doesn't matter if the box office is a little lower." Xu Guanwu smiled and said, "You wait, the drama "Across the Seas" is a good play, and the good drama is ahead." ”

"Oh, I'm so relieved to say that. Then I won't bother you, Mr. Xu. Good bye. After speaking, Zhang Guorong hung up the phone.

"Ah Wu, who called early in the morning?" Zhao Yazhi asked suspiciously.

"Don't think about it, it's Leslie, I read the newspaper that the box office of "Across the Seas" was only 700,000 on the first day, and I was worried that the box office was not high, so I called to ask." Xu Guanwu smiled.

"Oh, that doesn't sound like a lot at the box office. Husband, this drama is a blockbuster with an investment of tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars, and you have to worry that you won't be able to recover the cost. I wonder if I should do advertising or something? Zhao Yazhi asked.

Xu Guanwu smiled, "The initial advertising has been done well enough. It's a poster again, it's a TV commercial again. It's a movie lottery again, and if you want to advertise it again, you must wait for the box office to achieve certain results before you can continue to expand the publicity. Otherwise, it can only cause the opposite effect. ”

Zhao Yazhi nodded as if she didn't understand, "By the way, I don't know how Qingxia is filming in Japan, she has been going for a week, why hasn't she come back?" ”

"How can it be so simple to make a movie, you have to choose a scene and shoot it, this time there are a lot of action scenes, Qingxia and they are all celebrities, and there will be a lot of onlookers when filming in Japan, and it will take a lot of time to clear the scene, I think it will take half a month to shoot." Xu Guan Wudao.

"She's going to be going for so long, I knew I was going with her, Tokyo is a shopping paradise." Zhao Yazhi said with a smile.

"Okay, don't just think about shopping every day, didn't I give you a slim hall business plan a few days ago, have you read it all?" Xu Guanwu asked.

The Slim Tree Hall is a high-end women's club founded by Xu Guanwu for Lin Qingxia and Zhao Yazhi, trying to build it into a paradise for Hong Kong's white rich beauty. But Zhao Yazhi and Lin Qingxia didn't care, it has been almost two years since it was founded, and they are still a little tepid, which makes Xu Guanwu feel breathless.

Xiushentang was originally a very important part of Xu Guanwu's business planning, mainly taking the high-end atmosphere and high-grade route, which complemented Xu's supermarket and Xu's group. But now Hui's supermarkets have opened convenience stores directly to the New Territories, covering Hong Kong, Kowloon, New Territories Islands, etc., accounting for almost 40% of the Hong Kong retail market, with an annual profit of up to one billion Hong Kong dollars, which can be called the largest money printing machine of Hui's Group.

As an entertainment empire, Xu's Group also has an annual profit of one billion Hong Kong dollars, but Xiushentang's current annual profit is only 30 or 40 million Hong Kong dollars. Xu Guanwu had no choice but to work with his subordinates to draw up a detailed development plan for the Self-cultivation Hall and hand it over to Zhao Yazhi to let her take care of it.

However, looking at Zhao Yazhi's current appearance, Xu Guanwu knew that she must not have seen it. "Well, let me tell you what's good." Xu Guanwu couldn't help but say, "This plan is very useful for the development of Xiushentang, you go back and look at it carefully, if there is anything unclear, come and ask me again, and strive to develop it into the first store of Hong Kong's high-end women's club by the end of the year." ”

Zhao Yazhi frowned, "Husband, doing business is not my forte, it's okay for you to let me pretend, I'm really not very good at doing business." ”

When Xu Guanwu saw her say this, he couldn't help but pout, and in his impression, it seemed that Zhao Yazhi had really never started a business. There are so many celebrities in Hong Kong who open restaurants, bars, jewelry stores, and flip real estate to make a fortune, etc., celebrities doing business is already quite popular, but I really haven't heard of Zhao Yazhi doing any business.

"Then you have to take a look first, if it doesn't work, I think you have to change to a reliable person." Xu Guanwu said, "Now the manager of this self-cultivation hall is okay, but it is difficult to expand the territory." Hong Kong's high-end women's club is very rare, and with so many rich ladies and ladies, business should be quite hot. Now that she's done so tepidly, it seems that she's really not a business wizard. ”

"I see, husband. Okay, I still have a scene to film. I don't eat it. Zhao Yazhi found an excuse to slip away. After filming the TV series "The Announcer". Zhao Yazhi took on another drama "Happy Fairy Nest", directed by Mai Jia and starring Huang Baiming and Ishida.

Xu Guanwu had heard the name of this play in his previous life, and it was said to be a very happy comedy, with many cute children in it, and it seemed to be good at the box office. Zhao Yazhi doesn't have too many scenes in it. Originally, the filming would have been over in a few days, but now it is clearly using filming as an excuse to avoid Xu Guanwu's nagging.

Seeing that Zhao Yazhi was gone, Xu Guanwu didn't continue to nag, but the issue of changing the manager of Xiushentang was still imminent, and Xu Guanwu wanted to turn Xiushentang into a place where all Hong Kong Bai Fumei gathered. And with the help of Xiushentang, we have created a broad network of contacts. However, the whole of Hong Kong's wealthy families, the wives of wealthy businessmen, ladies, lovers, etc. all come here to consume, and the so-called women can hold up half of the sky, which is equivalent to indirectly controlling half of Hong Kong's wealth.

The Royal Hong Kong Yacht Club, the Royal Hong Kong Golf Association, the Lions Club of Hong Kong, the Freemasonry Society of Hong Kong, etc., these clubs are frequented by men. In this way, you can connect your feelings and make contacts. Expand your business. And Xu Guanwu just wants to make Xiu Shen Tang a woman's version of the Royal Hong Kong Yacht Club. If you use your forward-looking vision and mind to gather these rich people in Hong Kong under your command, you will be invincible and more powerful than the Governor of Hong Kong.

However, it takes a very smart, emotionally intelligent woman to help contact the members of these clubs, so that they all become regulars in the clubs, and once the habit becomes natural, the connection can no longer be separated.

But obviously Lin Qingxia, who has a cold temperament, is not suitable for this work, she is beautiful, but the beauty is too much, so that the rich women will feel threatened, and she is not good at socializing with others. After talking a few more words to strangers, my forehead was sweating, and I lowered my head as if I had done something wrong.

Although Zhao Yazhi is a good hand at dealing with people, and has her own insights on beauty and clothing, she was originally a good candidate, but she didn't care, so Xu Guanwu couldn't do anything about her. Hu Yinmeng is still waiting to give birth in the United States, and it has been more than three months, and she has begun to show her pregnancy, and her temperament is also cold, and she is also not good at communicating with people. However, she knows more about astrology, gossip and fortune-telling, and she can vote for some Bai Fumei's preferences.

Speaking of which, the only person Xu Guanwu can use now is Deng Lijun, who is relatively good, has high emotional intelligence, and is not beautiful and aggressive, and is proficient in Cantonese, Chinese, Indonesian, Japanese, and English, which can fully meet the needs of different nationalities. It's just that Deng Lijun will not be able to retire for another year, so Xu Guanwu can't wait.

"Why don't you let Guan Zhilin try it?" Xu Guanwu thought about it and said, Guan Zhilin has now become an artist under the superstar agent company, and immediately after entering the company, she played the starring role, filming the new drama "I Love Rolando" written and directed by Wang Jing, in which Guan Zhilin played a girl with a mild intellectual disability and had a relationship with Rolando, played by Chen Baixiang.

This drama is a light-hearted and humorous pickle girl comedy, with Wang Jing's popularity accumulated in recent years, Chen Baixiang's exaggerated and funny performance, and Guan Zhilin's astonishing beauty, I believe it will be able to achieve a very good box office.

Guan Zhilin will be able to play the leading role immediately after entering Xu's Pictures, naturally it is all up to Xu Guanwu's care, but Guan Zhilin can't help but be a little dissatisfied with playing an idiot in the first part she starred in, and she also complained to Xu Guanwu, which means that people are so beautiful and so smart, why do you want to play an idiot so much, can you change another role BLABLA.

Xu Guanwu's answer to her complaint was to put her on the bed and slap her twice on the buttocks. He has read the script of Wang Jing's play, which is a very funny movie, but the end of the movie is a little too realistic. This is also normal, after all, Wang Jing is still an angry young man now, not the weather-beaten Wang Fat Man in his previous life.

This drama is also the sister chapter of Wang Jing's "Frog Prince" the year before last, the box office of "Frog Prince" was as high as 10 million that year, and this year's "I Love Rolando" can sell at least eight or nine million Hong Kong dollars. It's enough for a newcomer like Guan Zhilin. And to be honest, Guan Zhilin's plasticity is not high, her acting skills are not as good as Zhang Manyu, Lin Qingxia, Zhong Chuhong and other movie stars, she can only play some vase roles.

And "I Love Rolando" is a funny and humorous romantic comedy, which does not require too high acting skills to be competent, and the woman played by Guan Zhilin in the story is very likable, she is an innocent and lovely girl at the beginning, because her IQ is only five or six years old, so she seems very innocent, and she can touch the hearts of a group of male audiences. Later, she became a noble and cold royal sister, and the great contrast in personality will make people remember this girl deeply, and this is also the effect that Xu Guanwu hopes to achieve. So no matter how you look at it, the drama "I Love Rolando" seems to be tailor-made for Guan Zhilin.

Guan Zhilin saw that Xu Guanwu was angry, so she didn't dare to mention it again, so she had to agree. (To be continued......)
