Gu Long had 15 million NT$ fishing, and he first collected several million NT$, and he agreed to it at that time. However, in order for Gu Long to change his mind and regret it halfway, and make some more trouble, Xu Guanwu asked people to draw up a contract. When the time comes, if Gu Long commits another offense, he will have to speak with the law.

Of course, if the law can't punish him, then the knife of the Bamboo Union will come in handy. Now the boss of the Bamboo Federation, Chen Yabazi, has been released, and is leading a group of brothers to fight with the Four Seas Gang, and the corners of the province are fighting to the death.

In the most difficult two years of the seventy-fourth and seventy-fifth years, because of the help of Xu Guanwu, the Bamboo Federation has accumulated a lot of funds and developed a lot of members, so its strength has increased unabated compared to before Chen Yabazi was imprisoned.

After Chen Yabazi was released this time, he was like a tiger out of the gate, and swept away more than a dozen gangs hanging in the province, and extended his power from Taiwan to the counties and cities in the central and southern regions.

Driven by this model, the strength of the Bamboo Federation was rapidly expanded, and it soon became a first-class gang in Wanwan, and it also attracted the attention of the Wanwan authorities. In the usual style of the KMT, not only were these charlatans not suppressed, but were co-opted by the authorities and became a group of people with special status, specifically responsible for dealing with things that the authorities did not come forward with. For example, the famous "Jiangnan Case" was led by Chen Yabazi to sit down.

After the Bamboo Union had a secret identity, it had no scruples about its development, and even equipped with guns, which was even more bullish than the Black X Society in Hong Kong. You must know that although there are many people in the Black X Society in Hong Kong, they generally only use knives in fights, and if they want to make trouble, they use firearms. Then it's going to be a big deal. The firearm mentioned here is just a pistol, and once the gun goes off, the police can't pay attention to it.

However, the guns owned by the Bamboo Federation are powerful weapons such as AK47, and there is also a special task force dedicated to fighting the hostile forces, which can be called the trump card among the aces in the Bamboo Alliance. In terms of combat effectiveness, it is simply a cut above the black X on the Hong Kong side. In fact, in addition to the strong firepower, because of the implementation of the national military service system on the Wanwan side, most of the members of the Black X Society have military experience, and they are also proficient in various modern weapons and equipment, and they have received intensive training for militarization. In terms of spirit and combat quality, they are much stronger than ordinary people.

The Black X Society in Hong Kong has not experienced this kind of militarization, and most of them are stragglers and fighters, and they are born in street fights. Although there are a few black X who will be born in martial arts, but the so-called fist and foot kung fu. It is still very different from grappling in the army, and if you fight in a group. It is ironclad that it is easier for a soldier with formal military training to win.

The brothers who had the bamboo alliance looked at Gu Long. didn't let him toss around any longer, Xu Guanwu was very relieved. In addition, the money is given, and the words are also brought, and he can be regarded as benevolent and righteous. If Gu Long made some other tricks, Xu Guanwu would really be rude to him. He would rather let Gu Long never write from now on, rather than have his job smashed by him.

……

After Gu Long's affairs are dealt with. has entered September, and the first part of "Superman" invested by Xu Guanwu began to be released in the United States, becoming the most popular sci-fi masterpiece this year.

The Superman comic was born in 1938 and was the first superhero comic book in American history. And Superman is also a symbol of the American spirit. Strong, courageous, righteous and compassionate, and a protector of freedom. (Of course, this is just the boast of the Americans)

Superman comics have a high popularity in the United States, whether it is comic books, Superman suits, or dolls, they are widely loved by the majority of comic book fans. And the movies and TV series adapted from "Superman" also have very good ratings.

But that was decades ago, and now DC Comics is losing out of its readers under the competition of Marvel Comics. Compared to perfect heroes like Superman, today's readers prefer superheroes like Spider-Man, Hulk, Thor, and Iron Man with various advantages and a more realistic feel.

The change in the audience's taste has also greatly affected the sales of Superman comics, which used to sell millions of copies per issue, but now there are only hundreds of thousands of copies, which can be said to have suffered a Waterloo. Therefore, Warner Bros. Pictures is very conservative about adapting super comic book heroes to the big screen.

Although Superman was once an idol in the hearts of Americans, and the film and television dramas adapted from it had good box office and ratings, it was based on his previous popularity. Now that his popularity is not so high, no one can be sure whether his movies will be blockbusters again.

So Warner Bros. gave this opportunity to 20th Century Fox and asked it to be a white mouse to test itself. If the "Superman" movie is successful, it proves that it is feasible to change the superhero comic book movie, then Warner Bros., which has already bought DC Comics in its entirety, naturally has an inexhaustible gold mine.

Even if 20th Century Fox takes Superman, they still have Batman, and Wonder Woman, and The Flash, and Green Lantern, and Green Arrow...... Thousands of comic book hero characters are available for them to choose from.

Of course, 20th Century Fox, which does the test of guinea pigs, is not stupid. Zaniuk had also done careful market research before, and he also brought Xu Guanwu, who was recognized as the most discerning investor, over. He provided half of the funds and took the general risk, which made 20th Century Fox decide to invest.

The "Superman" movie will shoot two episodes at the beginning, with an investment of up to Wu Qian Wu Baiwan, which is the highest investment in Hollywood at the moment. If the cost can be recovered, it is naturally good, but if the cost cannot be recovered, the 20th Century Fox will become a big joke in the United States, and the myth of Xu Guanwu's undefeated investment will also be broken. Of course, Warner Bros. will also die from now on, the heart of the comic book hero adaptation movie.

However, the fact is that after the first part of "Superman" was released, it immediately set off a movie-watching frenzy. Although Superman comics have fallen into Waterloo, there are actually many people who like this superhero. Although they are old and no longer the age to read comics, Superman is still in their hearts, and he is still the omnipotent superhero.

So when this childhood. When I was a teenager, when a young super-idol appeared on the big screen, many adults ran to the theater to watch it, so as to miss their childhood. And the Superman comic is the highest-invested sci-fi movie this year, just in time for the sci-fi boom driven by "Star Wars". In addition, in this movie, Superman is also quite handsome, and he also fell in love with a beautiful woman, which also caters to the tastes of young audiences, so many young people also flock to the theater to enjoy it.

So for a while, "Superman" became the hottest film in the United States. Not only were the adults very moved after watching it, but the teenagers also shouted after watching it, which really made 20th Century Fox overjoyed, and also made Warner Bros. firm in the idea of adapting the hero comic book movie.

In fact, the popularity of the "Superman" movie is the same as the popularity of the "Transformers" movie a few years later. Both use elements of nostalgic memories to appeal to adult audiences. Also with a repackaged story, gorgeous special effects. A grand spectacle. and the combination of handsome men and beautiful women to attract young audiences, so as to achieve the purpose of two-pronged and twice the result with half the effort.

The story of the "Superman" comic is already wonderful, but after this repackaging, a lot of emotional elements have been added, and there are industrial light and magic special effects companies to provide special effects production. The special effects of the movie "Superman" are also very gorgeous. Plus Christopher who plays Superman. River is famously handsome, and Margo who plays Louis. Kidd is also a very temperamental woman, not to mention that there is also an idol of 10,000 people in the movie, Marlon. Brando. It also adds a lot of brilliance to the movie "Superman".

But Malone. Brando is not so easy to invite, in order to invite him to play Superman's father, 20th Century Fox paid a very big price. The remuneration of $3.7 million, plus 11.75% of the box office share, is the most reluctant. Brando got $19 million for this movie alone, which is really a sky-high salary.

Overall, though, the money was worth it, because 20th Century Fox also easily recouped its costs and had the lion's share of the benefits. And Xu Guanwu also got a very high box office share with this movie, although the follow-up income was less, but Xu Guanwu didn't care.

Although he knows that blockbuster movies like "Superman" are in the future, whether it is the development of peripheral products, the rental and retail of video tapes, or the broadcast rights of TV stations, it will bring very big profits, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is likely to earn more than the box office of the movie.

But this kind of revenue takes time to grow, and it needs to have a very wide network in Hollywood. What Xu Guanwu lacks is time and connections, so he would rather give up part of his later income in exchange for the current box office share of the movie.

……

With the release of the movie "Superman", the movies that Xu Guanwu invested in last year began to appear on the screen one after another. "Moonlight Panic" and "Rocky 2" will both be released on Halloween and Christmas, and I believe they will create a box office myth. And the other two films he invested, "Alien" and "Raiders of the Lost Ark", it seems that they will not be able to complete filming this year, and to do a good job in the post-production of the film, etc., it will not be released until at least the middle of next year.

Movies in the United States have been released one after another, bringing huge profits to Xu Guanwu, and "Raptors Crossing the River" directed by director Zhang Jian in Hong Kong is also about to be completed. Although his movie has the same name as the movie of kung fu superstar Bruce Lee, the story is actually very different.

The "Raptors Across the River" played by Bruce Lee was Tang Long's trip to Rome to help the local Chinese restaurant teach the local Black X Club a lesson. And Zhang Jian's "Raptors Crossing the River" is a matter of South Vietnamese refugees fleeing to Hong Kong, in order to avoid being bullied and forming gangs, and finally working hard in local gangs in Hong Kong.

The film was filmed on location in Hong Kong's most notorious and legendary Kowloon City Walled City, which can be regarded as a precedent in the history of Hong Kong cinema. Although there are many underworld forces in the walled city, there are also many fugitives harboring. But the crew filmed there for a few days, but they were safe and sound, they didn't suffer any trouble, and no one who didn't have a long eye came over to make trouble and collect the land fee.

The reason is that Xu Guanwu's reputation is now too loud in the Tao, and two large societies have been planted in his hands in a row. Although these Black X of the Kowloon Walled City are ruthless enough, they are also divided against whom. They are heaven to the ordinary people, but if they really meet people who can't be provoked, they can only admit it.

and Hong Jingbao, Cheng Long, and Yuan Biaoshi's co-production of "A Plan and Planning" is still under intense filming, and it is expected that it will not be completed until next year.

The Xu brothers' co-production of "Rich Golden House" was released during the Spring Festival as usual, and is currently in the post-production period. And Mai Jia, Chu Yuan, Gui Zhihong, etc., their works are either still being filmed, or they have been completed and are in the post-production, or they have already begun to be released, in short, they are all busy in their own way.
