Chapter 390: Confusion
It is these street gossip tabloids that are spreading these nonsense rumors in Hong Kong now. Because the title is shocking, the content is thrilling, and there is a lot of wonderful content that is not suitable for children, so the sales have been very good. And because these tabloids are relatively secretive, it is difficult for the police to completely eradicate them, so it is like psoriasis in the Hong Kong press industry, which is difficult to completely eradicate.
Xu Guanwu hated these gossip tabloids, so he didn't let his eldest brother respond to them. But I didn't expect things to get worse, rumors were flying all over the sky, and foreign media were also involved, and these gossips were forwarded irresponsibly, so both Xu's employees and American business partners began to be a little worried.
In the end, Xu Guanwu made a few phone calls to dispel their doubts. However, when they heard that Xu Guanwu could not come to Hollywood to attend the awards ceremony because of something, they couldn't help but be very disappointed. In their eyes, Xu Guanwu is like an active humanoid gold mountain, and fortune follows wherever he goes.
David. Brown, Richard. Zaniuk, Darryl. Zaniuk, Mike. Ovitz, Paul, and Lei Shidong, etc., all made a lot of money with Xu Guanwu, and every time he came to Hollywood, they would have a lot of dollars in their accounts. This time I heard that he would not be coming this year, and everyone sighed that there was no money to be made this year.
Among these people, the most disappointed is Lei Shidong. He prepared a list of movies early, and wanted Xu Guanwu to take a look at them and help him choose a few movies to be released this year.
Xu Guanwu helped him choose "Saturday Night Madness" last year, which is a black and shiny dark horse, with a low cost of no more than three million US dollars. It has won a whopping $170 million at the box office. And also let the penniless keep out the cold. Travolta. Become Hollywood's hottest new star. The image of him dancing on the dance floor in a white suit was taken to the same time as Marlon. Brando is on par. And it is precisely because of this movie that disco has become the hottest dance move in the United States today. Travolta has also become a sought after idol among American teenagers.
Originally, Lei Shidong wanted to ask Xu Guanwu to help him choose another choice this year, but when he knew that he would not come to the United States this year, Lei Shidong felt very disappointed.
"Xu, I know that you are traveling outside now, and it is a good time to enjoy life. But you really can't make a trip to the United States? You know, I miss you very much. And in fact, the United States also has good natural scenery, why don't you take the time to come over, and I will accompany you to have a good time? Lei Shidong said with a smile over the phone.
"I'm really sorry, I'd love to travel with you, but unfortunately I can't take it away right now." Xu Guanwu smiled and said, "But you don't need to be disappointed, the three movies I invested in this year will be released, the sequel to "Jaws", the sequel to "Rocky", and "Moonlight Panic". All three films should do well at the box office. You should trust my investment vision. ”
"Of course I believe in your vision, but isn't it a little bit less to only have these three?" Lei Shidong asked with a greedy smile. "How about you recommend a few more movies for me, so let's read it on the phone, you listen carefully over there, if it's a movie that may be more familiar, I'll help you explain it in detail?"
Xu Guanwu smiled bitterly, he didn't expect Lei Shidong to think of such a stupid method, but it was no wonder that he was so persistent. A blockbuster movie can make him tens of millions of dollars, and anyone will be so persistent.
"If you don't object, then I'll take you by default. Listen carefully, I'm going to start reading. Lei Shidong cleared his throat and began to read.
……
In the telecommunications room, the military spy personnel looked at each other while listening, "What are they doing?" What's the use of pronouncing the name of a movie? ”
"Is it the new password for delivering messages?"
"It doesn't matter what it is, record it first, and we'll study it slowly!"
……
Lei Shidong read the list from beginning to end, but Xu Guanwu chose "Superman" and John. Aside from Travolta's new work "Grease", he did not choose any other films. In this way, with the addition of the three movies that have already existed before, there are only five movies.
"Yes, let's pick another one. If you don't hear clearly, I can read it again. Lei Shidong asked again.
"There's really no more, and you can only guess if you choose again." Xu Guanwu smiled and said, "Okay, don't be disappointed, I believe these five movies will be able to create box office results that will satisfy you." ”
"Who thinks they're making more money?" Lei Shidong said with a smile, "Okay, you can continue to travel, remember to call me when you have time, or think about sending me a postcard." ”
"Good one, please worship." Xu Guanwu smiled, and then hung up the phone.
"Husband, are we really not going to the Oscars this year?" Zhao Yazhi listened to Xu Guanwu finish the call, and couldn't help but ask him suspiciously.
"No, what, do you want to go?" Xu Guanwu shook his head, seeing that Zhao Yazhi's expression was a little lost, he couldn't help asking.
"That's not it, it's more important for you to heal." Zhao Yazhi shook her head, "It's just a pity that the clothes I prepared were originally intended to be worn at the award ceremony." ”
"It's okay, there's always a chance to wear it." Xu Guanwu smiled and said, "I can't wear it this time, so I can wear it next time." ”
"The next one will be outdated." Zhao Yazhi frowned and said.
"Then buy a new one, okay, don't be disappointed." Xu Guanwu gently held Zhao Yazhi's hand and said, "I know that you have wronged you for more than two months with me in this bitter place where birds don't, and I will compensate you well when I go back." ”
"Well," Zhao Yazhi was held by Xu Guanwu, and when she heard such heart-warming love words, she couldn't help but feel warm in her heart, "Actually, it's all what I should do, as long as you are honest, An'an, and don't hook up with me, even if you are worthy of me." ”
"En," Xu Guanwu smiled, and when he saw his wife's delicate appearance, he couldn't help but feel a move in his heart. At this moment, a bath fire quickly arched up from the lower body, and the flagpole was suddenly erected. Jacked up a big yurt.
This evil fire provoked Xu Guanwu's mouth to be dry. I can't wait to crush my wife under me now. Correct the Dharma on the spot.
"It's strange, it's just a conversation between husband and wife, how can it make people so impulsive?" Xu Guanwu wondered in his heart, "Even if it is because of the treatment, the fire has not been extinguished for two months, so it will not be like this, right?" It's been more than 20 years before, and it's not as strong as it is today? ”
The hard support of the yurt below made him feel a little painful. And Zhao Yazhi in front of him is so beautiful that he can't help but want to be a beast.
grabbed his wife's hand and pulled her into his arms, Xu Guanwu stuck his head on his wife's chest, his snort was heavy, his eyes were red, and his hands were wandering around Zhao Yazhi's body, teasing her a little uncontrollable.
"Husband, the doctor said that after the consolidation period is over. Only then can we have close contact. Zhao Yazhi has not been a husband and wife for more than two months, and she is also very panicked in her heart. And now that I was touched by my husband like this, I quickly felt it. But she still retained a trace of sanity, tried her best to grab the hands that were doing evil on her, and then leaned into Xu Guanwu's ear and whispered.
"It's been more than two months now, and the consolidation period should be almost over." Xu Guanwu gasped and said hurriedly.
"Husband, you have to think about our children." Zhao Yazhi made a killer move and said in Xu Guanwu's ear.
In a word, Xu Guanwu was instantly awakened and made him sober up all of a sudden, he quickly let go of Zhao Yazhi, then picked up the teapot, aimed at the spout and drank a pot of warm tea.
"Wife, you are right to remind me, I shouldn't delay our future for the sake of temporary pleasure." Xu Guanwu turned his head to Zhao Yazhi and said.
"Well, when you get better, people will treat you well." Zhao Yazhi blushed and whispered.
Xu Guanwu nodded and laughed happily.
Zhao Yazhi blushed more and more when she heard him smile like this.
"Mr. Xu, Mr. Xu......" At this time, someone suddenly shouted outside the door, but it was President Wang who listened to the voice.
Zhao Yazhi hurriedly stood up as if frightened, straightened the clothes on her body, and said shyly and timidly, "It's all your fault, you see, I wrinkled other people's clothes." ”
"It's okay, the clothes are wrinkled, just go back and buy them again." Xu Guanwu waved his hand and said with a big grin.
"Humph!" Zhao Yazhi glanced at Xu Guanwu, walked over and opened the door, "Ah, it's President Wang,"
"Hello Mrs. Xu, Mr. Xu is here." President Wang asked with a smile.
"I'm reading, please come in, please come in." Zhao Yazhi hurriedly turned sideways and let President Wang walk in.
"Mr. Xu is really working hard, so I am ashamed of myself." President Wang walked into the room with a greeting.
After greetings, Xu Guanwu gave up his seat to President Wang, "What does President Wang want to talk about today?" ”
"Hehe, in addition to chatting, I actually sent movie tickets to the two of you." President Wang smiled and took out two movie tickets from his pocket, "This is a movie that has just been shot in the mainland, and I want to ask Mr. Xu to help correct it." ”
"How dare you do this, in fact, don't look at me as a film company, but I don't have a deep study of movies. Besides, there are so many film artists in the mainland, how can I have the share of beaking indiscriminately. Xu Guanwu waved his hand and said.
"Mr. Xu, you are too modest, it is okay for domestic filmmakers to make films on the theme of the Anti-Japanese War, but to make films with such commercial elements, you have to learn from Hong Kong filmmakers. This film is the first attempt by mainland filmmakers in the commercial field, and we need some advice from professionals like you, Mr. Xu. ”
Xu Guanwu really had no choice but to take the movie ticket first. In good conscience, Xu Guanwu watched a lot of movies in the mainland when he was a child, whether it was "Tunnel Warfare", "Mine Warfare" or "Little Soldier Zhang Ga", "Railway Guerrilla", although they were all black-and-white war films, they all made him fascinated and brought a lot of joy to his childhood.
But to tell the truth, the entire market of mainland films has been very unsound for a long time. At that time, there was a saying that mainland filmmakers made movies to win awards; Hong Kong filmmakers make movies to make money.
Xu Guanwu has never seen any of the award-winning movies in the mainland, whether it is "Yellow Earth" or "The Red Lantern Hangs High", whether it is "Red Sorghum" or "Qiu Ju's Lawsuit", and he is unwilling to watch this kind of movie in his life.
Films from other countries are all promoting their own advanced nature, such as American Hollywood blockbusters, which promote American liberalism and represent American values. But movies generally don't make whites discriminate against blacks; The action movies launched in Hong Kong after the 80s also brought the prosperous side of Hong Kong to everyone, so that many people couldn't help but want to go there to play after seeing Hong Kong in the movie. He won't shoot those cage people, the Vietnamese refugee camps, and the Kowloon Walled City; Indian movies are all about a group of handsome men and beautiful women singing and dancing, so it won't tell you about the racial hierarchy of India and the corpses flowing down the Ganges.
But these award-winning films in China all show the poor, backward and ignorant side of China. (To be continued......)
