Chapter 64: Crisis

"Big brother, I'm coming back this time to marry Ah Zhi." Xu Guanwu said with a happy smile.

"Oh?! That's good news, and it's good to get married. When you get married, you will settle down, and you won't be thinking about it all day long. Xu Guanwen nodded, smiling for the first time.

"Congratulations to the second brother!" Xu Guanjie also smiled, "Third brother, you have to start working hard." ”

"I'll talk about that later." Xu Guanying waved his hand unconfidently.

Xu Guanwu's face darkened when he saw it, and he remembered that in his previous life, Xu Guanying had never married and was lonely for the rest of his life. Legend has it that he once had a Japanese lover who was also his fan, but Xu Guanwen said that he had never seen it.

"A-Ying, marry if you have a suitable one." Xu Guanwu sighed, patted Xu Guanying's shoulder and said.

……

After returning home, Xu Guanjie immediately told his parents the good news.

Xu's father and Xu's mother are also very happy, the second and third are not married at the age of thirty, which has become the biggest concern of their two elders.

Now that the second happy event is approaching, it really makes them feel relieved and happy.

"What a great event an engagement is, you should have told us about it early. We don't have any arrangements, it's really ......," Mother Xu said with a smile.

"Ah Zhi was able to agree to my marriage proposal, which was also unexpected for me." Xu Guanwu said with a smile.

"People are good girls, don't hook up with each other after you get married, treat people well." Mother Xu said with a smile again.

Xu Guanwu accepted them one by one, which made Xu's father and mother happy.

The old couple immediately began to prepare for marriage, what to set wedding cakes, set hotels, write wedding cards, etc., they were very busy.

……

However, in Zhao Yazhi's house, another voice came out.

"Ah Zhi, have you really thought about it, will you get married and have children now?" Mother Zhao saw her daughter in front of the mirror, carefully dressed, with unconcealed joy between her eyebrows, she couldn't help sighing, and asked seriously.

"Mom, what do you mean by that?" Zhao Yazhi put down her lipstick, turned her head, and looked at her mother suspiciously, "Don't you also want me to marry Ah Wu?" ”

"Mom used to think so, but now it's different. In the past, you were just a little flight attendant, earning only 1,000 Hong Kong dollars a month, and my mother naturally hopes that you will marry into a family with a good family. Zhao's mother said.

"But now you are a popular star, a play sells millions of Hong Kong dollars, the sparrow becomes a phoenix, and your net worth is very different." Zhao's mother said again, "In the past few days, several film companies have come to you for a flat price of 100,000 Hong Kong dollars for a play." You only need to take on two plays, and we can buy a store in Central. And these days, there are many celebrities who send flowers to ......"

"Mom, don't go on." Zhao Yazhi listened to her mother's talking, and couldn't help but feel unhappy, and couldn't help but say loudly.

"This ...... I haven't even said who sent it. Zhao's mother was interrupted by her daughter and flattened her mouth.

"I don't want to know and I don't need to know. Mom, you also know that your daughter is a popular star now, but if it weren't for Ah Wu's support, how could I be where I am today? To be a human being is to know how to be grateful. Zhao Yazhi persuaded.

"Thanksgiving?! What kind of grace do you feel? You can have today because of your own hard work. You don't want 100,000 Hong Kong dollars, you have to marry that kid, I'm really fascinated by him. Mother Zhao was told by her daughter's words, her old face turned red and yelled angrily.

"Do you still think he can have much interest, the newspapers have said that their company's movies will not be released in Hong Kong in the future, and you will not have any future if you stay in their company. And I also heard that he made a movie in the United States, and a million dollars were wasted. If you want to marry such a master who spends money indiscriminately, won't you be poor with him for the rest of your life? I won't say yes to anything. ”

"It's me who marries, not you. I've decided, I'm not going to change it. Zhao Yazhi also said seriously.

Mother Zhao saw that her daughter was unusual, and her temperament was so strong, she suppressed her momentum, "Mom is also for your own good, you are not allowed to go there these days, stay at home obediently and think clearly." ”

After speaking, Zhao's mother walked out of the house, and then she heard a click, and the door was locked by her.

……

Xu's father and Xu's mother were full of joy and invited the Zhao family to discuss various matters of marriage, but they were dusty. The old couple returned home disgraced, and called the four brothers to come back quickly.

At that time, Xu Guanwu was accompanying the eldest brother and other three people in the company to analyze the current predicament faced by the company.

First of all, there is the problem of cinemas, all the theaters under Golden Harvest banned the films of the Hui Brothers, which made the Hui Brothers lose the box office of Hong Kong all of a sudden.

Without the support of the local box office in Hong Kong, the film would not have sold at a high price in Nanyang, let alone the Japanese and South Korean markets.

The second is to face a rather serious poaching problem. The four Xu brothers have one heart as a family, and they can't dig it naturally.

But Cheng Long, Hong Jingbao, Yuan Biao, Yuan Bin and other members of the Yuan family class, who became famous with "Serpentine Trickster", have become a golden nest sought after by everyone.

Cheng Long alone called 100,000 Hong Kong dollars for a drama outside, which was ten times higher than his previous salary.

And Hong Jingbao, who directed this film, has also become a hot kung fu film director, and he was also shouted at a high price of 80,000 Hong Kong dollars for a play.

As for the rest of the Hong family's class, they also offered different prices, and the remuneration was at least three times that of the previous one.

Although for the time being, all the martial artists in the Hong family class are still very righteous and have not been poached by other companies, but the wealth is moving.

If the Xu Brothers Company does not solve the problem of the theater chain, it will be a matter of time before it closes under internal and external difficulties.

……

"If we make a film now, if it can't be released, we will lose money; If you don't make a film, everyone has nothing to do when they are idle, and they have no money to make people's hearts. It's hard to shoot or not. Xu Guanjie sighed and said.

"Second brother, what do you have in mind?" Xu Guanwen asked.

"Big brother, now the people in the company are panicking, and if we don't take measures, the people's hearts will disperse sooner or later." After Xu Guanwu understood the whole situation, he said, "I suggest that a new film be filmed immediately, not just one drama, but two dramas." ”

"Two plays at the same time?! If it can't be released, if it is smashed in our hands, we will lose it all. Xu Guanjie shouted.

"Although Golden Harvest does not allow us to release it, we can also find other theaters. As far as I know, a large part of the nearly 100 cinemas in Hong Kong are not controlled by Golden Harvest. Xu Guanwu analyzed, "We can unite these theaters to form our new theater chain." ”

"It's not good, those theaters either specialize in showing Western films, not Chinese films; Either it is dilapidated and needs to be reinvested in renovation and renovation; Either the location is remote, mostly on outlying islands and in the countryside. Even if they are united, it is difficult to compete with Golden Harvest and Shaw Brothers, which are well-decorated and well-located theaters. Xu Guanjie shook his head and said.
