"Congratulations, Brother Sanmao!" Zeng Zhiwei hurriedly raised his glass and celebrated, "In this way, you can also become popular in Hollywood." ”

"It's too early to say that," Hong Jingbao hurriedly said with a smile, "Without Mr. Xu's promotion, where would we be today, how about I propose that everyone toast Mr. Xu together?" ”

"You're determined to get me drunk, aren't you?" Xu Guanwu said with a smile, he had just drunk three taels of wine, which had already made his stomach churn, and he would definitely vomit it out if he drank another bowl of iron.

"Then let's do it, Mr. Xu, you can do whatever you want." Hong Jingbao saw that Xu Guanwu's face was flushed, and his eyes were full of tears, so he knew that he really couldn't drink anymore, so he hurriedly looked down.

Xu Guanwu smiled, "Forget it, don't spoil everyone's fun, I'll toast with everyone!" ”

As he poured a full glass of wine, he said, "Cheers, everyone!" ”

"Cheers!" Everyone shouted together.

"Gross!" As soon as a glass of wine was down, Xu Guanwu felt that the wine was surging, so he quickly covered his mouth and ran into the bathroom quickly.

Seeing this, Hong Jingbao hurriedly followed, and saw Xu Guanwu holding the toilet and vomiting happily.

"Mr. Xu, I'm really sorry, I knew that I wouldn't let everyone toast." Hong Jingbao said reproachfully while patting his back.

"Forget it, I don't do your business, it's my own poor drinking." After Xu Guanwu vomited, he felt better in his stomach.

Hong Jingbao hurriedly handed over water and tissues again, and asked Xu Guanwu to rinse his mouth.

"Sanmao, let's go outside to breathe?" Xu Guanwu said with a smile.

Hong Jingbao nodded and followed Xu Guanwu outside.

Seeing the stars in the sky and breathing in the fresh air, the whole person is much more energetic.

"How's it going, I haven't been on the crew in a while." Xu Guanwu said with a smile.

"It's still the same, "Salted Fish Rebirth" is almost finished, and I want to take a break next." Hong Jingbao looked up at the sky and said.

"What, feeling tired?" Xu Guanwu asked with a smile when he heard him say this.

"There is one point, I am a star, a martial arts instructor and a producer in these movies, and I feel that there is a lot of pressure on my shoulders. So I want to lighten the load. Hong Jingbao said with a smile, "In addition, I always play the leading role, and after a long time, the people below will also have opinions." So I want to promote one or two to play the main role. ”

"That's a good idea, so who are you going to push?" Xu Guanwu said with a smile.

"Yuan Hao recently followed Zeng Zhiwei to shoot "Li Sanjiao Shocks the Gate of Hell", and Cheng Long doesn't need me to hold it anymore. I want to pick up Yuan Biao. He is agile and full of aura, if there is a good movie, he should be able to hold it. Hong Jingbao said with a smile.

Xu Guanwu nodded, feeling that he really didn't believe in the wrong person, Hong Jingbao was really a good man with affection and righteousness.

The advantage is not only to eat alone, but also to be able to promote others. In the entertainment industry with red and white, snobbish eyes, there are very few people with this warm-heartedness.

"Okay, if you have an idea, just tell me directly, and I will support you." Xu Guanwu said with a smile.

"Mr. Xiexie Xu." Hong Kyung-bo was also very happy.

"Alright, let's go up, or they'll be worried." Xu Guanwu said again.

……

The news that the box office of "Serpentine Trickster" exceeded $5 million was then spread through "Daily Daily".

For such a good achievement of Hui's Brothers, there is no one in Hong Kong who is not blushing.

Five million US dollars, equivalent to more than 10 million Hong Kong dollars, which was an astronomical amount at the time.

At that time, Hong Kong movies exceeded one million, and they were already blockbusters.

More than 10 million Hong Kong dollars, which is equivalent to ten blockbuster films, is almost the total annual income of the production company.

The news reached Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest, and it also caught their attention.

Previously, only Shaw Brothers in Hong Kong had the ability to distribute films to Europe and the United States, but later Golden Harvest successfully entered the United States with the help of Bruce Lee, a kung fu superstar.

But now that the Xu Brothers Company has quietly achieved the great cause of entering the United States, it can't help but make Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest vigilant.

As we all know, the European and American film markets are the largest and most complete film markets in the world, and if the films released there sell well, they will earn tens of billions of dollars in box office revenue.

In comparison, the highest box office income in Hong Kong is only a few million Hong Kong dollars, which is equal to more than one million US dollars, which is not enough for the cost of a Hollywood film.

This shows the gap between Hong Kong Hollywood and American Hollywood.

Therefore, being able to enter the European and American markets is regarded as a big film company by Hong Kong filmmakers.

Although the Xu Brothers Company pulled a brilliant cinema line before, it was only a production company, and it was not a "big" word.

Now that "Serpentine Trickster" has been successfully released in the United States and has achieved good box office results, the Hsu Brothers Company has also become a big film company on an equal footing with Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest.

Big film companies are naturally in a transcendent position, and the previous Brilliant Cinemas and Yimei Cinemas were generally short of films, and sometimes they also needed to buy copies of Taiwanese movies to fill the schedule.

The reason is that other production companies in Hong Kong do not dare to cooperate with Hui's because of Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest.

But now that the Hsu Brothers company has become a big film company, other production companies have followed suit. That's the way we're going.

"I can't imagine that they are developing so fast, am I really old?" Shaw Brothers Studios, Sir Shaw Yifu held "Daily Daily" in his hand, and said while watching.

"Sixth brother, how can you be old," Fang Yihua persuaded, "It's just that they have gone out of their shit luck." ”

"The first time was shit luck, is the second time also shit luck?" Shao Yifu shook his head, "He is bolder than me, and his steps are also big, he is worthy of being a young man, and newborn calves are not afraid of tigers." ”

"Sixth brother, I heard that he even mortgaged the twenty office buildings in his hand." Fang Yihua said, "Young people are young people, if they take too big steps, they don't have time to look at the ground, and sooner or later they step into the pit and fall on their heels." ”

"You don't have to curse him, if he really does, it's useless for you to curse him; If it really doesn't work, why should you curse again? Shao Yifu said with a smile.

"Sixth brother, why don't you seem to be angry at all?" Fang Yihua couldn't help but ask in surprise when he saw that Shao Yifu didn't look angry at all.

"What's there to be angry about, it's a joy for us." Shao Yifu said with a smile.

"How do you say that, why can't I see what's going on?" Fang Yihua asked suspiciously.

"Back then, our Shaw Brothers' "The First Punch in the World" sold tens of millions of dollars at the box office in the United States, so there was a later cooperation between Warner and Golden Harvest. Now the films of the Hsu Brothers Company are on fire and have attracted the attention of Hollywood in the United States. If they want to find someone to make a movie, then we Shaw Brothers won't have a chance. Shao Yifu explained.

"In the end, the sixth brother thinks far-reaching, I only care about the present, I really can't compare with you." Fang Yihua said with a smile.

"During the Spring and Autumn Period, Lao Tzu once said, 'Misfortune and fortune are relied upon, and fortune and misfortune are lurking'. There are always two sides to things, there is a bad side, but there is also a haode side. It's up to you to see the opportunity. Shao Yifu passed on his experience to Fang Yihuadao.

As a group of veterans such as Zou Wenhuai and He Guanchang left one after another, Fang Yihua gradually grasped the power of the Shaw Brothers. But although this woman can play tricks, she can be said to know nothing about making movies, and she makes a lot of jokes.

Shao Yifu also faintly heard some old courtiers complaining, but Fang Yihua had a lot of relationship with him, and after experiencing the defection of old courtiers such as Zou Wenhuai and He Guanchang, he could no longer trust outsiders.

So even if Fang Yihua has such and such shortcomings, he can't dismiss her, he can only teach her from time to time, so that Fang Yihua can learn his tricks and a half.

Sir Shaw Yifu is worthy of being a living fossil in the film industry, and he can see the opportunities that this incident has brought to Shaw Brothers, but not everyone can see it so clearly.

Jiahe's Zou Wenhuai and He Guanchang were annoyed, "How can it be so easy for him to enter Hollywood, it's effortless." How did the eight major Hollywood film companies do it, and let that outsider go on a rampage in Hollywood, it's just unbelievable. He Guanchang scolded.

"I don't understand how he did it, Hollywood theater operators are so easy to talk to?" Zou Wenhuai also frowned, unable to figure it out.

Back then, he went through a lot of hard work to push Bruce Lee into the United States, and even though "Enter the Dragon" achieved good box office results, other Golden Harvest films still had to go through layers of exploitation if they were to be sold in the United States.

There is no need to think about the box office share, even if the copyright is bought out, it is only tens of thousands of dollars, which is like sending a flower child.
