In the next month, Xu Guanwu accompanied Lin Qingxia's mother and daughter, wandering leisurely from the west coast of the United States to the east coast of the United States, from Los Angeles to Miami.

Although the United States does not have as many places of interest and historic sites as China, the natural scenery is quite beautiful, especially the green vegetation and rivers and lakes, all of which are unpolluted and pristine, which amazes Xu Guanwu and Lin Qingxia, who are accustomed to seeing high-rise buildings in Hong Kong. Even Xiao Sichen breathed in the fresh air, and the smile on his face was much more than before.

"Ah Wu, how great would it be if we could live in the United States in the future and not go back to Hong Kong?" Lin Qingxia snuggled in Xu Guanwu's arms and said softly.

"The scenery here is very good, but as a Chinese living here, I still feel a little uncomfortable." Xu Guanwu smiled and said, "Unlike Hong Kong, the food and scenery and customs are all worrying. ”

Lin Qingxia smiled and gently grabbed Xu Guanwu's ear, "It's the people from Hong Kong who make you worry, right?" ”

Xu Guanwu didn't answer, he was stunned for a while, and suddenly said, "A month is almost over, and we should go back to Hong Kong to have a look." ”

"yes, I'm really reluctant." Lin Qingxia rubbed in Xu Guanwu's arms.

"It doesn't matter, I'll buy a few houses in the United States when I go back, and we'll come here more often for vacations in the future." Xu Guanwu smiled, "I'm afraid that you will only care about making movies at that time, and you will not want to accompany me." ”

"How can it be so exaggerated, I'm not very popular in Hong Kong now, and my popularity has run out after more than a year." Lin Qingxia frowned and said.

"Impossible. Even if you have been in seclusion for ten or twenty years, you will still be as popular as you are now. Xu Guanwu waved his hand. The number one beauty in Southeast Asia, this title is not something that anyone can wear. ”

"Ah Wu, do you think the movie "Love in a Fallen City" will be a success?" When Lin Qingxia heard him say this, she couldn't help but ask with some concern.

"I don't dare to say this, it's up to people to make things happen, and it's up to heaven to make things happen." Xu Guanwu smiled and said, "What." Worried now? ”

"Yes, as soon as I heard you say that you want to go back to Hong Kong, all those troubles came to my heart again." Lin Qingxia nodded.

"It's my fault." Xu Guanwu immediately admitted his mistake. "But in fact, you don't have to worry, other stars are worried that the box office will not be good and will affect their future, and they are worried that there will be no film companies to invite them to film in the future. But what are you worried about, it doesn't matter if the movie loses. One movie doesn't work, let's make another one. Shoot until you succeed. ”

"In that case, aren't you worried about being scolded for wasting money?" Lin Qingxia heard him say this, although she was happy in her heart, she was still unforgiving.

"If you are scolded, you will be scolded, and you will get used to scolding. As long as you're happy, it's worth it. Xu Guanwu said with a smile.

"Poor mouth." Lin Qingxia smiled and patted Xu Guanwu and said, but beating is love and scolding, looking at the smile in her eyebrows and eyes, she knew that she was actually very useful to Xu Guanwu's words.

……

Sweet days always feel like they go by faster. Before I knew it, a month was about to pass, and Xu Guanwu was thinking about returning to Hong Kong. This time it came out for a month. It's twice as long as the last time she went out with Ah Zhi, so you can imagine that she must be angry now.

So Xu Guanwu specially bought large bags of clothes, bags, and shoes for her in a famous brand store, and also bought a ten-carat diamond ring from a jewelry store as compensation for this extra-long trip.

Although Lin Qingxia was a little reluctant to live in the United States, Xu Guanwu still chose to leave together. The two returned to Los Angeles from Miami, and at this time "Cannonball Speed" had officially begun to be released.

In fact, since Xu Guanwu and Lin Qingxia first arrived in the United States, they have already seen the advertisement for "Cannonball Speed" on TV. Because this is a road chase comedy movie, and it has a strong lineup of big names, the commercial attracted people's attention as soon as it was broadcast.

Xu Guanwu also noticed that the advertisement of "Cannonball Speed" was shot very well, and a total of two versions of the advertisement were filmed, one version is to edit out the wonderful and popular flying car scenes in the film, so that people can see the wonderful pictures of the movie in advance; The other version brought together all the stars in the film and shot a thirty-second short film to show that the film has a strong star cast.

The two versions of the advertisement correspond to different needs of the audience, some of them like the gorgeous car chase picture, and the other part likes to chase stars, which can be described as ingenious and took a lot of thought.

By the time Xu Guanwu and Lin Qingxia traveled to Kansas in the central United States, they had already received a call from Hong Kong, saying that they had sent Cheng Long, Hong Jingbao, and Yuan Biao to help with publicity.

By the time they slowly made their way to Miami, the movie "Cannonball Speed" had already been officially released.

The wonderful chase scenes, the joining of big-name stars, the witty and humorous performances, the favorite themes, and the overwhelming publicity made the movie "Cannonball Speed" popular as soon as it was released. The box office on the first day of release was $4 million, which couldn't help but excite the distributor 20th Century Fox and the theater company National Entertainment. The box office has reached a staggering $33 million in the first week, and it is predicted that the film will eventually box office more than 100 million, compared to the investment of 15 million, it will be a big profit.

Among them, Cheng Long, Hong Jingbao, and Yuan Biao are only cameos in the film, but all the scenes add up to 25 minutes, which is only better than that of Bert. Reynolds and others are just a little less, than the big-name movie star Roger. Moore's role is still important. In particular, the three of them played kung fu in the film, and various thrilling actions stole the limelight. It also made the popularity of the three of them in the United States soar, and it is estimated that the subsequent release of "Full of Gold" can also take advantage of this shareholder trend to sell well.

Seeing that "Cannonball Speed" was good at the box office, Xu Guanwu was relieved, and he did not meet Lei Shidong and others again, and flew back to Hong Kong from Los Angeles.

……

After a month away, Hong Kong has become extremely lively.

The Australian consortium is now in a close relationship with the chairman of the Far Eastern Bank, Qiu Degen, and one is willing to sell. One is willing to buy, but the price issue is still not negotiable.

Li's TV station was the second-most-rated TV station in Hong Kong earlier, and it may be worth two or three billion Hong Kong dollars. After all, there are only three TV stations and five TV licenses in Hong Kong. It is said that the Hong Kong government has said that it will not issue new TV licenses in the next ten years. Therefore, scarcity is expensive, and Li's TV station, which naturally has two TV station licenses, sat on the ground and raised the price, shouting a selling price of 300 million Hong Kong dollars.

However, Qiu Degen felt that the price was too outrageous. Less than a year after the Australian consortium became the owner of Li, it has already turned a TV station with great potential, and even the actors are about to run out. If you want to reunite people's hearts and rejuvenate themselves, you don't know how much money and effort will be spent on the road. So Qiu Degen is only willing to give 100 million Hong Kong dollars.

HK$100 million is not enough to satisfy the appetite of the Australian consortium. In fact, they spent 150 million when they bought it at the beginning of the year, so they must at least ensure that they do not lose money. So now there is a stalemate between the two sides on the issue of money.

Compared with the hard-working Li's TV station, Jiayi TV is now doing a good job. Since being taken over by Jianing Group, Chen Songqing has invested heavily in succession. On the one hand, the second Miss Oriental beauty pageant was held as soon as possible. Although it only took one month from registration to selection. There was more than two months of preparation compared to last year, but the scale of this beauty pageant was much larger than before.

The reason is that Chen Song is really generous this time, and if he is selected as the champion, he will have 1 million cash, and the fourth place will have 100,000 cash and a car. Such generous prizes are more than those offered by TVB, which naturally attracted many beautiful girls to sign up.

In comparison, the limelight of the Miss Hong Kong beauty pageant held by TVB this year was all stolen by the Miss Oriental beauty pageant. After all, the media likes to follow the red top white, and the popular side over there will report whichever side it is. At present, Chen Songqing is a popular financial figure in Hong Kong, and Jiayi TV is currently engaged in "millions of luxury gifts". If you want to watch it, you can watch the Jiayi Channel" event, and give away prizes when the show is broadcast. Small ones have pressure cookers, microwave ovens, fans, telephones, etc., and large ones have color TVs, video recorders, refrigerators, and even cars. You can get prizes when you watch TV, which naturally attracts a large number of greedy citizens to watch Jiayi TV Station, so that this TV station at the end of the Wannian crane finally tastes the first in the ratings.

In addition to the event of viewing and giving away luxury gifts, Jiayi TV also took the opportunity to start filming a new drama, the first drama was the big battle "Four Famous Capture Earthquake Kanto", the crew went to South Korea to film, which is the first time in the history of Hong Kong television.

The reason why I chose to shoot "The Four Famous Catches" is mainly because martial arts dramas have always been a popular ratings theme in Hong Kong, and there has always been no shortage of audience appreciation, whether it is Jiayi TV's "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" or TVB's "Xiao Li Flying Knife", "Chu Liuxiang", or Li's TV "Silkworm Transformation", "Hero Shen Shengyi", etc., are all TV series with very high ratings.

Originally, the adaptation of Jin Yong and Gu Long, the works of the two martial arts masters, had the most guaranteed ratings, but it is a pity that just two years ago, TVB had reached an agreement with Mr. Jin Yong to buy out the film and television adaptation rights of his works in Hong Kong, which means that in Hong Kong except TVB, no TV station can adapt and broadcast Mr. Jin Yong's works.

Even if a TV station in other regions buys the copyright adaptation, it cannot be sold to Hong Kong according to the agreement, which is the exclusive right enjoyed by TVB in Hong Kong.

As for the copyright of Gu Long's novel, it was acquired a long time ago, and Zhang Anle almost hung up for this reason. After that, Gu Long's works were also bought by Xu Guanwu one after another, and other TV stations naturally had no right to adapt them. Although in principle, TVB monopolizes the film and television adaptation rights of Gu Long's novels, and other TV stations have no right to adapt them, but they can borrow the method of transferring flowers and trees to create many similar plots, but the names of the characters, the names of the episodes, the number of martial arts and other TV series are very different, such as "The First Knife in the World" once broadcast by Li's TV station, how to look at it and how it feels like Gu Long's novel "The Prodigal Son of the Border City". However, because of the discrepancies in the storyline, the different names of the characters, and the poor copyright awareness of Hong Kong people, it is difficult to win the lawsuit even if they go to court, so these copycat works appear frequently.

Jiayi TV did not follow the old path of a beautiful TV station cottage this time, but purchased another martial arts master, Mr. Wen Ruian's masterpiece, to adapt it. Wen Rui'an, an overseas Chinese in Malaysia, has been engaged in literary creation since he was very young, and is a talented man with considerable creativity. His works seek novelty and curiosity, and have achieved great success in the field of martial arts novels, and together with Mr. Liang Yusheng, Mr. Jin Yong, and Mr. Gu Long, he is known as the four grandmasters of martial arts novels.

Wen Ruian is energetic and has written a lot of books, including the "Wonder of China" series and the "Four Famous Catches" series. Among them, the "Four Famous Catches" series is the most well-known, ruthless, cold-blooded, chasing life, iron hands, the four of them have their own characteristics, each with peerless martial arts, and their encounters are also twists and turns, breathtaking.

"The Four Famous Catches" was previously published in Mr. Jin Yong's "Ming Pao", and it once caused a sensation in Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Nanyang. This time, it was adapted into a TV series by Jiayi TV, and the ratings skyrocketed as soon as it was broadcast, becoming the first popular drama during the summer vacation. (To be continued......)
