Chapter 164: Returning to Hong Kong (Seeking Collection)

Darryl. After seeing the shocking effect of "Jaws", Zaniuk has to admit that this is a very good commercial film, combining thriller, suspense, blood, passion and other factors, and it is destined to be a very high-grossing commercial film.

Seeing that Daryl and Lei Shidong were very satisfied with this movie, Xu Guanwu began to negotiate terms with both parties.

After some bargaining, the three parties finally reached an agreement, "Jaws" will be distributed by 20th Century Fox, and National Entertainment will be responsible for providing theatrical release.

Because of Xu Guanwu's repeated insistence, this movie will be released together in all theaters under National Entertainment on the same day. It is no longer like the previous Hollywood films, before the large-scale release, it is necessary to carry out pilots in several cities, and if the box office is excellent, the scale of the release will be expanded.

In terms of box office sharing, Xu Guanwu also has an advantage, and he won 80% of the box office in the first week, and then decreased by 10% every week. The longer the showtime, the more the cinema chain and the distribution company will share.

As for the overseas distribution rights, it is also in charge of 20th Century Fox, which owns a distribution network all over Shijie, and handing over the distribution to them can double the overseas copyright income of "Jaws".

Speaking of which, Darryl. Zaniuk criticized Xu Guanwu's handling of the overseas rights of "Rocky", arguing that he simply did not bring out the true power of the film.

"It's just ruining the good stuff." Darryl. Zaniuk said bitterly, "If it is handed over to us 20th Century Fox to operate, the overseas copyright of "Rocky" can be sold for at least 50 million. Coupled with TV station releases, peripheral sales, copyright authorization, etc., you can earn at least another 100 million US dollars. ”

Xu Guanwu also knew that because he didn't stay in the United States often, many copyright matters were not handled in a timely manner, which caused the movie "Rocky" to suffer heavy losses. At the moment, he was as good as a stream, and handed over the copyright of "Rocky" to 20th Century Fox as an agent.

After attending the Golden Globe Awards and the Academy Awards, there is an investment in Steve. Spielberg and George. Lucas's film was funded by CAA Agency and National Entertainment Company, and after completing the release of "Jaws", Xu Guanwu planned to return to Hong Kong first.

Because he often eats food from the United States, he has been having some indigestion recently, and he has done all the things he should do, and now is the right time to go back.

After Zhao Yazhi heard about it, she was also very happy. She has no friends in the United States, and she either stays in the hotel every day to watch TV or goes shopping, and she has long been tired of staying.

Hearing that Xu Guanwu said that he would return to Hong Kong tomorrow, he immediately hugged Xu Guanwu happily and jumped around happily.

"Why are you so happy to go home when you hear it? Isn't it really fun to be in the U.S.? Xu Guanwu couldn't help but smile when he saw her being happy like this.

"yes." Zhao Yazhi said with a smile, "Although the United States is good, it is not as kind as Hong Kong." And there are too many beauties here, I'm afraid that if you're not careful, you'll be hooked away. ”

"Don't worry, your husband and I are not interested in animals such as golden cats and Yanmar." Xu Guanwu said with a smile.

"Well, what I say is one thing, but what I think is another, how can you reassure me?" Zhao Yazhi shook her head, making it clear that she didn't believe Xu Guanwu's sweet words, "By the way, since you will go back to Hong Kong tomorrow, let's call the eldest brother and them." At that time, it is good to arrange for someone to pick us up at the airport. ”

Xu Guanwu nodded, and immediately called Hong Kong, "Hey, big brother, Ah Zhi and I will go back to Hong Kong tomorrow." ”

"Uh, is everything done over there? If not, stay a few more days. Xu Guanwen said on the other side of the phone.

Xu Guanwu couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, his eldest brother's words seemed a little strange, "Big brother, the affairs here in the United States have basically been dealt with, there is nothing to stay at, and I am not used to eating the food here." ”

"Ah Wu, stay in the United States for a few more days, there is some trouble here in Hong Kong." Xu Guanwen saw that his second brother insisted on coming back, so he had to tell the truth.

"Troublesome?! What's going on? Xu Guanwu asked suspiciously.

"It's not just about the Academy Awards." Xu Guanwen sighed, "You were only shortlisted this time and didn't win the award, and you were criticized by newspapers such as "Oriental Daily" and "Sing Tao Daily", saying that you had lost the face of Hong Kong people. stirred up some unreasonable citizens to protest downstairs in our company, which has made our office problems recently. ”

Xu Guanwu didn't know what to say after listening to it, he didn't expect that the media such as "Oriental Daily" and "Sing Tao Daily" would be so unscrupulous, and it was a happy thing to be shortlisted for the Oscars, but they reversed black and white and said that it was a shame for Hong Kong.

There are also those citizens who don't know the truth, and they actually ran downstairs to protest in the company, which is really funny and angry.

"Big brother, don't persuade me anymore, I still insist on going back to Hong Kong. That's it, hanging. Xu Guanwu hung up the phone, his face turned pale.

"Ah Wu, what's going on, there's something wrong with your face." Zhao Yazhi asked worriedly.

Xu Guanwu was afraid that she would think too much, so he hurriedly squeezed out a smile, "It's nothing, let's go back tomorrow, you hurry up and prepare to see what you want to buy for everyone." ”

Zhao Yazhi saw that Xu Guanwu refused to speak, so she had to hide her doubts in her heart and buried herself in packing her luggage.

When I came this time, I brought a large box of movie copies, including "Ghost Horse Double Star", "Genius and Idiot" by the Xu brothers, "Snake Trick" by Cheng Long, "Laughing Fist Tricks", Hong Jingbao's "Fat Dragon Crossing the River", "Sande Monk and Chung Mi Liu" and Mai Jia's "Tiger Field Chicken" and so on. All of them were screened by Lei Shidong's National Entertainment Company.

When I went back, the box was already empty, so Zhao Yazhi packed it with the gifts she had purchased in the past few days, such as perfumes, fashions, handicrafts, stationery, etc., which were also filled with a large box.

After cleaning up, I was so tired that I couldn't even straighten my waist.

"Done cleaning up?" Xu Guanwu asked with a smile, "Come, I'll help you massage." ”

Zhao Yazhi was obedient and lay on the bed.

Xu Guanwu rolled up his arms and sleeves and gently pressed it for her, "Ah Zhi, do you want to stay in the United States for a few more days?" ”

β€œweishenmeοΌŸβ€ Zhao Yazhi asked in surprise.

"No, weishenme." Xu Guanwu shook his head and said.

"Ah Wu, is there something going on in Hong Kong?" Zhao Yazhi sat up and asked.

Xu Guanwu hesitated for a moment and explained the situation in Hong Kong, "I'll just go back and deal with it alone, I don't want you to go back and accompany me to be afraid." ”

"What are you talking about, are we husband and wife? Something naturally took on together. Zhao Yazhi hurriedly said, "Don't worry, Ah Wu, I'm not as fragile as you think." ”

"In that case, let's go back together." Xu Guanwu nodded.

……

The next day, Xu Guanwu and Zhao Yazhi took a flight to Hong Kong.

After leaving the airport, Xu Guanwu saw his sister-in-law and four siblings waiting there to pick up the plane.

"Sister-in-law, I'm really sorry to trouble you to pick you up." Xu Guanwu hurriedly said with a smile.

"Your eldest brother originally wanted to come over, but he was afraid of being followed by reporters, so he sent the two of us." Sister-in-law Chen Jieying smiled, "How about it, is the United States fun?" ”

"What's so fun, I'm tired to death." Xu Guanwu shook his head, "And the food is so unpalatable, I almost had stomach problems." ”

"So, it's better to be anywhere than at home." The sister-in-law said with a smile, "I'll go grocery shopping later, and everyone will have a meal together at noon." ”

"Well, then sister-in-law Xiexie, by the way, Ah Zhi and I also bought gifts for everyone. I'll see it when I get home. Xu Guanwu smiled again.

"Every time you go abroad, you will be spoiled, really, there is nothing in Hong Kong, why bother to spend this money." The sister-in-law smiled.

"It's okay, you have to show something when you go out." Xu Guanwu waved his hand.

The four of them walked out of the airport together with their luggage, and as soon as they arrived at the door, a lot of people suddenly came out of nowhere, and in the blink of an eye, they surrounded Xu Guanwu and the four of them.

"Mr. Hui, this trip to Hollywood has only won an award, do you have anything to explain to the Hong Kong people?"

"Did you say that Hong Kong movies are far inferior to Hollywood movies? So what about Weishenme not staying in the United States and returning to Hong Kong? ”

"Mr. Xu, do you insist on not asking the citizens for those fallacies?"

……

The reporters surrounded the four of them, unable to move a single step, and the situation was even more critical.
