Chapter 399: The Situation in Hong Kong (Part I)

"Woo, Wu, I can't hold it anymore! You haven't come out yet, have you? At night, a blushing voice came from the bedroom of Xu Guanwu and his wife.

"Whew! Well, I've seen how good I am this time. Xu Guanwu gasped and said, "I've been holding back for six months, recuperating, just for today." Don't surrender easily. ”

"Woo, I really can't stand it. Wu, why don't I help you with my hands? Zhao Yazhi snorted excitedly and painfully.

"Fool, if you use your hands, how can you achieve your goal?! If you hold on for another twenty minutes, I guess it's almost good." Xu Guanwu gasped and said.

"Whew, how did you become so powerful?" Zhao Yazhi continued to grit her teeth and endure, "What did they eat for you, I really can't stand you!" I'm sure I won't be able to get hemp tomorrow! ”

"If you can't get down, you can't get down, so what's the matter." Xu Guanwu snorted, "Don't talk to me yet, it's easy to distract yourself when you speak, and it's not easy to come out." ”

"Okay, then you can hurry up, I really can't stand it anymore." Zhao Yazhi gasped and said.

Xu Guanwu ignored her anymore and continued to work hard, and after twenty minutes, "Ah Zhi, be careful, come out!" Xu Guanwu shouted, and suddenly he was stunned.

"Ah!!!! Why is it so difficult to open this canned sugar water in the mainland?! Zhao Yazhi cheered, "Look at the sweat that makes you tired." ”

……

The next day, after an interval of six months, Xu Guanwu returned to Xu's headquarters again and sat back in his boss's chair.

"In the last six months. Company size matters. Bring me all the information. Xu Guanwu pressed the phone button. The secretary at the front desk said.

"Yes, boss, I'll deliver it right away." The secretary agreed, and after a while, he walked into Xu Guanwu's office with a thick stack of documents, "Boss, these are the documents you want, all of them are here." ”

"It's good. You go out first, and I'll call you if there's something to do." Xu Guanwu nodded and waved at the secretary.

The secretary gently put the document in his hand on Xu Guanwu's desk, and the unprecedentedly great Hun Ministry left the cover of the document and immediately appeared in front of Xu Guanwu, which immediately attracted his attention.

The two round hemispherical shapes were no more than a hand's distance from him, and as long as the hand was slightly stretched forward, he could hold it in his hand.

Xu Guanwu pretended not to care and quickly glanced at it, and compared it with his wife's. I think the secretary's is a cup bigger, but it's too big and inappropriate. It's still his wife's big or small, one hand just holds one, and the size is just right.

"Boss, if there are no other instructions, then I will go out first." The female secretary suddenly said in a coquettish voice.

"Oh, then let's get out of the country first, I'll call you again if there's something to do." Xu Guanwu waved his hand.

A look of disappointment flashed on the female secretary's face. Although Xu Guanwu's eyes were fast just now, almost like a dragonfly, he flashed over quickly, but he did not escape the eyes of the female secretary.

Women are inherently sensitive to men's gazes, not to mention that this female secretary already had the idea of seducing, and from the moment she received Xu Guanwu's summons, she began her own careful layout. He carefully examined his makeup, then unbuttoned his shirt, folded his skirt two inches upwards, and then sprayed the most seductive Chanel No. 5 perfume.

And after entering the office, whether her speech and demeanor, or deliberately leaning over when she put the documents, she was silently tempting Xu Guanwu. When she found that Xu Guanwu had stopped in her Hun department, she thought that her plan had succeeded, and she was still secretly happy in her heart.

You must know that Xu Guanwu is now the top super-rich man in Hong Kong, with a net worth of hundreds of millions and is very young, the most important thing is that he only has one wife now, and he has not heard of a gold house hiding Jiaojiao. This also means that if she can successfully hook Xu Guanwu, she is very likely to replace Zhao Yazhi and become the boss of Xu's Group. Or even if you can't marry into the Xu family, you can at least live a rich life.

It's a pity that her dream didn't last long, and she immediately received Xu Guanwu's eviction order. However, the female secretary was disappointed and disappointed, but when she went out, she still stepped on the model steps, twisted her S-shaped body and went out, and still did not let go of the last opportunity.

"Sister, since you got better, why are you so impulsive? Or is that goblin really seductive?! Forget it, let's hurry up and change the secretary, otherwise sooner or later I will make another mistake. Xu Guanwu couldn't help muttering.

Xu Guanwu is a person with a spiritual cleanliness habit, in addition to the woman he already likes, the more other women take the initiative towards him, the more he rejects him. The female secretary didn't expect that she deliberately laid out the layout, and the result would be that she would be assigned to the frontier the next day, which could be regarded as stealing chickens and rice.

……

After the windy female secretary withdrew, Xu Guanwu calmed down, removed her seductive figure from his mind, and then opened the document and flipped through it carefully.

After Xu left Xu Guanwu, there have been a lot of big moves in the past six months, and the first big move is naturally the start of filming of those movies. Whether it is "Raptors Crossing the River" directed by Zhang Jian, or "Before and After the Decisive Battle" directed by Chu Yuan, it has caused a lot of momentum.

Of course, the most eye-catching is "A Plan" co-produced by Hong Jingbao, Cheng Long, and Yuan Biao. The investment of US$5 million makes it the highest-invested film in Hong Kong's history. Since the day the camera was announced, it has been widely concerned by the outside world.

Because of the investment of five million dollars, this news is a bit too shocking. Hong Kong's current highest-grossing movie has a box office of only 8 million, and even if you add the box office in Taiwan, Nanyang, Japan, South Korea and other places, it only earns 145 million.

And the investment in this "Plan A" is as high as 5 million US dollars, which is a serious 25 million Hong Kong dollars. How can you recoup your cost with such a large investment?!

Of course, some people suspect that Xu is deliberately exaggerating, and it may only be the cost of a million dollars. It was blown up to five million dollars. It's just for publicity.

But this is really the fault of Xu. Originally, Hong Jingbao wanted to say that it was an investment of 10 million US dollars. Because it sounds more grandiose and more eye-catching. Moreover, Hong Kong's film companies all do this, with an investment of 300,000 yuan being said to be 600,000, an investment of 500,000 being said to be 1 million, and so on.

But his idea was stopped by Xu Guanwu, five million dollars is already eye-catching enough, and he can't do it again. What's more, the propaganda is too addictive now, and if it is debunked in the future, how embarrassing it will be?! Besides, there will definitely be movies with higher investment in the future. How should it be publicized then?

Hong Jingbao listened to Xu Guanwu's words and truthfully publicized the investment of "Plan A". And these five million are indeed dry goods, not adulterated with any moisture. Therefore, Hong Jingbao is not afraid of shadows, and he is not afraid of the accusations of these media at all, but he goes to the newspaper to fight with them whenever he has time, and he is violent, and he does not back down at all, and he has the style of a big brother.

And because he is the director of the movie "A Strategy", he commands nearly 100 dragon and tiger martial artists, and seven or eight people follow him in and out. is full of style, and everyone calls him Brother Hong. also made him the title of the big brother in the Hong Kong film and television industry completely sound.

……

In the first half of the year, Hui's released four kung fu films, two horror films and one love romance film.

One of the two horror films is "Strange Tales in the Middle of the Night" produced by a small film company in Hong Kong, which is a movie made up of three ghost stories, and the actors are hired from Hui's superstar manager company, because they are all TV actors and rookie actors, so the cost is relatively low. However, the acting skills of TV actors and rookie actors are also guaranteed to a certain extent, so they also made this horror movie sound and colorful, which scared a lot of audiences. So the box office is very good. With an investment of less than 300,000 yuan, it has gained a box office of more than 1.2 million, which is a big profit.

Another horror film is Gui Zhihong's carefully concocted "Evil", this CULT film is a collection of murder, suspense, horror, and cyan in one, which is a classic masterpiece that Gui Zhihong relied on to become famous, and it is also a famous CULT masterpiece in Hong Kong film history.

Director Gui Zhihong has accumulated many loyal fans before filming the "Hong Kong Strange Case" series. This "Evil" has attracted attention before it was released, and then under the large reports of "Daily Daily" and "The Phantom of the East", many horror movie fans in Hong Kong knew that Hui's was going to release such a horror film, and they all immediately paid attention.

The market for horror films in Hong Kong has never been very large, but the filming of Hong Kong horror films has never stopped. Compared with Japanese horror films, which emphasize the atmosphere, and different from European and American horror films that focus on bloody violence, Hong Kong horror films are mostly based on classical masterpieces, such as "Liao Zhai", "Notes on Reading Wei Caotang", "Zi Bu Yu", etc., and some are based on folk tales, mostly on the theme of karma and retribution.

Hong Kong horror films sell better, most of them are not simple horror films, but kung fu martial arts films with a lot of fight scenes. For example, Hong Jingbao's "People Are Scary" and "Ghost Fighting"; "Mr. Zombie" and other series of zombie films starring Lin Zhengying; The "A Chinese Ghost Story" series supervised by Xu Ke and so on.

And simple horror films such as Gui Zhihong's "Evil", "Demon", "Gu", etc., are not too high at the box office, because the taste is too strong, and it is difficult for fans who do not really love this bite to watch it without vomiting.

However, this is actually related to the publicity, Japan's "Midnight Bell" achieved a very high box office in Hong Kong, reaching an astonishing 30 million Hong Kong dollars, and was the box office champion of Hong Kong movies in 99. and then imitated "Midnight Bell" to shoot "The Old Corpse of the Mountain Village", which also achieved a good box office, and the follow-up made several sequels one after another.

It can be seen that Hong Kong horror films may not have no market, but they need to be carefully promoted. Like "Midnight Bell", whether it is before, during, or after the release, the publicity offensive is extraordinary, almost reaching the point of being well-known in the world.

And its high popularity has attracted great attention before it was introduced to Hong Kong. After the subsequent introduction, it was even more extensive publicity, which maximized its horror effect, and thus attracted a large number of fans who didn't like to watch horror movies, thus creating its reputation as a horror classic.

The film "Evil" was promoted by "Tian Tian Daily" and "The Phantom of the East", creating an unprecedented atmosphere of horror in Hong Kong. Carefully shot stills, interview records, and various selling point promotions have made "Evil" the most popular work.

For example, the special effects team of "Star Wars" participated in the shooting, bringing people a visual enjoyment comparable to the special effects of "Star Wars"; For example, if an actor hits a ghost on the set, and it is suspected that he has caused something unclean while filming a horror movie, the producer wants to invite a feng shui master to go to the crew to catch demons; For example, a certain actor couldn't stand Director Gui Zhihong's domineering, so he resigned and so on...... One news after another broke out and firmly occupied the page. (To be continued......)
