Stallone couldn't help but be stunned when he heard it, why hadn't he found other film companies. The CAA brokerage company also tried hard to promote him, but the results were very disappointing to him.

After Sylvester Stallone finished filming "Rocky", he became an instant hit and became the brightest new star in the United States, and naturally became the object of media attention. But he didn't have self-cultivation, either the news of drunkenness in a bar broke out today, or he was revealed to be messing with a few people tomorrow......

Several times, three times, four times, if something happens, the CAA agency will jump out to help him clarify, and if something happens, it will help him come out to wipe his ass and deal with the aftermath, and the agent who stared at Stallone has changed three times in a row, but the situation has still not improved.

Stallone still goes his own way, and there are constant scandals in the newspapers, which also greatly damages his commercial value. Many companies that wanted to endorse him before were all discouraged, and many companies that had signed endorsement contracts wanted to terminate their contracts, and even talked to Stallone about liability.

After all, the spokesperson whose image has become so bad has a great negative impact on the company it endorses. In particular, certain family food, sports goods, and chain fitness stores, etc. Originally, he used Sylvester Stallone as a signboard, but he didn't pay attention to his image, overeating and alcoholism, which made his body fat, and his image completely changed to another person. Just ask which customer is willing to visit the fitness shop endorsed by such an obsessive spokesperson, isn't he afraid that the more he exercises, the fatter he gets?

After Stallone became fat, it became inconvenient to pick up other movies. He used to be mentally strong, and he looked clean and neat when shooting action movies, but now he is full of fat. Run a few more steps and you'll be out of breath. And the acting has not increased for two years. Can't bring more surprises to the audience. After the film is made, it may not be a hit, so although many film companies believe that Stallone still has commercial value, they are not sure how much is left, so even if the investment is a small investment movie, the remuneration and production cost are not too large.

Stallone can tolerate the small production cost, but he can't stand the low salary. He is now living a luxurious life of singing every night, spending two or three hundred thousand yuan of income every month. made those small investment movies, and the remuneration was not enough for him to spend two months. still has to stay in the crew for half a year, how can Stallone bear it, so those films were also rejected by him.

The CAA brokerage company was also fed up with Stallone's uncooperative attitude, and was already disappointed that he ignored the company's warnings and frequently broke offensive news. Now he finally approached for the job, and he also found various reasons to refuse, which really disappointed the company to the extreme.

An artist is not afraid of scandals, and sometimes this can be a sign of high popularity. It's okay to be disobedient occasionally, and crying children have milk to drink, and the company sometimes regresses appropriately. Give the artist a little more benefits. But do not obey the company's arrangement and refuse the job that the company chooses for you. It is a heinous sin for the company and cannot be forgiven.

Because it means that you can't make profits for the company, which is equivalent to having no use value, then who will dump you again?!

In the two years since CAA developed, it is no longer the time when there were only five people, the office was in a large room in the garage, and a hundred dollars needed to be carefully calculated.

Now this company has more than 200 artists, screenwriters, directors, producers, musicians, bands, etc., and it is already one of Hollywood's most famous brokerage companies. Stallone was the company's most dazzling red star before, and it was the company's golden signboard and pillar.

But now the CAA brokerage company has Michael. Douglas, with George. Lucas, with Stephen. Spielberg, with Richard. Zaniuk, David. Brown...... These people who worked with Xu Guanwu before all took advantage of the situation to enter the CAA brokerage company, making CAA now star-studded and star-studded. And Stallone, the original brightest star, is now much dimmer against the backdrop of others.

Without the support of CAA's agency, it is no longer so easy for Stallone to find a film company to work with. Because you have signed a brokerage company, you are not allowed to take any work privately under the constraints of the contract agreement.

Stallone couldn't get the job himself, and he wanted to terminate the contract with the CAA brokerage company, and he couldn't afford to pay the high compensation. went back to CAA to take over those bad jobs, but it was really not to his liking, so he regarded Xu Guanwu as his savior. I wanted to wait for the next time he came to the United States, and personally asked him for help and asked him to fund the filming of "Rocky 2".

But he didn't expect that his Zuihou hope was lost, which couldn't help but shock Stallone. Later, when he heard Xu Guanwu's scolding, he looked at the obese self in the mirror, and then compared it with the sturdy self on the poster next to him, and couldn't help but be stunned.

The man in the mirror was wearing fat beach pants and a T-shirt, but it still couldn't cover his small belly. The arms, which were full of muscles before, are now lumps of fat, red from the sun on the beach, and look as disgusting as the red meat on the shelves. The beard is unshaven, the eyes are blank, and the sharp eyes from before are gone.

"When did you become like this?!"

Stallone, who finally recognized the reality, shouted, and suddenly squatted on the ground and cried.

Xu Guanwu had never seen a man cry so sadly, and he had never thought that a tough man like Stallone would cry like a girl, so he couldn't help but stand there dumbfounded.

"Don't cry, don't cry!" Xu Guanwu patted his arm, "Now that you recognize the reality, let's change it from today." ”

Stallone cried louder, as if someone had picked up soap.

"Alright, alright, don't cry. You promised me to change it in the future, and I promised to help you think of a way. When Xu Guanwu heard Stallone's cry, he couldn't help but have a big head, and hurriedly persuaded again.

"Okay, I'll change it." Stallone raised his face and said with a determined gaze.

Xu Guanwu didn't look like a fake, so he nodded, "Okay, now go take a good bath, and then sleep well, and wait until the award ceremony is over." ”

Stallone nodded.

……

Leaving Stallone's mansion in Malibu Beach, Xu Guanwu's mood was also not good. He rose with Stallone, without Stallone and his Rocky. Xu Guanwu's rise will have to wait at least five years later. There is enough capital to break into the Hollywood market.

But it was because of that encounter with Stallone. Xu Guanwu got the funds needed for development in advance, Brilliant Cinemas, Yisheng Records, "Daily Daily", CAA agent company, etc., all of which were brought to him by Stallone's "Rocky".

On the one hand, if there is no Xu Guanwu, Stallone will fail hundreds of times before he finally finds a film company that wants to invest in him, which will make him suffer for another two years; On the other hand, without the help of Stallone. Xu Guanwu is also difficult to find such a dark horse in the film industry, and it is impossible to fight for $200 million with one million dollars.

The two have achieved each other, the difference is that Xu Guanwu has not given up the pursuit of money, has been constantly investing, acquiring and merging, and constantly becoming bigger and stronger to become a media tycoon in Hong Kong. But Stallone didn't do anything about his big haode career, and he completely fell into a sinking. Maybe he suffered too much before, so once he developed and found an outlet to vent, Stallone immediately lost control.

As a result, two years later, Xu Guanwu's career development entered the fast lane. In the United States, Hollywood has left its own legend. But Stallone is not as good as a day, which makes Xu Guanwu also a little sad and angry.

However, Xu Guanwu still wouldn't watch Stallone give up on himself like this. Whether it is to repay the favor or reluctant to support this action superstar, Xu Guanwu will try his best to support him again.

……

The 33rd Golden Globe Awards were held at the Hilton Hotel in Bifu Hill, and in addition to its five-star hotels all over Shijie, Xu Guanwu also thought of all kinds of lace news about its third-generation heir, Paris. The paparazzi of all shijie like to shoot celebrities and wealthy families, especially those scandals with explosive points, which can be called a stinking husband.

Paris. Hilton also has a high IQ, borrowing her identity as a wealthy daughter from a wealthy family, breaking all kinds of lace news to hype, and frequently appearing on the front page covers of newspapers and magazines, becoming a celebrity whose popularity is not inferior to that of a first-line red star.

As a result, her name has greatly increased in gold content, not only to create her own chain stores, clothing brands, perfume brands, shoe brands, leather bag brands, etc., but also to appear in movies, TV, make records and shoot MVs, and become a popular model...... The net worth has risen rapidly to hundreds of millions of dollars, which can really be described as a way to make money. The mastery of the business is that of her great-grandfather, Conrad, the founder of the Hilton Group. Hilton.

When Xu Guanwu and Zhao Yazhi came to the Hilton Hotel, it attracted a burst of crazy shooting from the media. Now he is one of Hollywood's most well-known investors, and he is absolutely legendary.

The three films involved in the investment were not optimistic at first, "Rocky" failed hundreds of times, while "Jaws" was unsustainable halfway through, and "One Flew Over the Asylum" was also an outdated work, and no one wanted to invest in it. But he could see the commercial potential of them, and he invested in them, and all of them were very commercially successful.

In the 70s, when the film market was so depressed that even the eight major film companies could not sustain, Xu Guanwu alone created box office miracles one after another, which is really amazing.

Xu Guanwu has dealt with more media, and naturally he has experience, so he just walks forward with a smile at the moment, and does not pay attention to any reporter's questions.

These reporters are often suspicious and know that it is difficult for conventional questions to break out, so they will often ask some tricky questions, and no matter whether they answer or not, how to answer, they will be caught by them and hyped up. Xu Guanwu also runs a newspaper, so he has a very deep understanding of the habits of journalists.

dignified and generously walked through the red carpet, Xu Guanwu was interviewed by NBC TV again.

"Xu, congratulations on the two films you invested in that were both commercially successful and shortlisted for so many Golden Globe awards." The same is the host of the house, Allen. Heller interviewed, he was also very excited to see Xu Guanwu.

"Xiexie, I am very grateful for the support of American fans, the support of all shijie fans, Xiexie you, I will continue to work hard and invest in making more Haode films to bring to everyone." Xu Guanwu said with a smile, "In addition, I am very proud that the film can be nominated." ”

"Your last film, Rocky, was shortlisted for multiple awards, but it didn't win a single trophy. Some people say that it is because of your foreign status, so the judges wear colored glasses when choosing. Do you have any comment on this statement? "Alan. Heller asked suddenly.

Xu Guanwu thought for a while, "I think this statement is very unreasonable, the principle of the Golden Globe Awards is fairness and justice, and the judges are also one of the most authoritative people in the film industry." I am confident that they will present the award in a fair and just manner. And it's also important to point out that if these fair and unbiased judges really had tinted glasses, my film wouldn't have been shortlisted for so many awards. ”

"That's right, I think with this reason, all rumors can be self-defeating." Alan smiled and said, "Xiexie, you accept our interview, Xiexie, and I wish you more awards today." ”

Xu Guanwu also smiled, and after walking down the interview area, he couldn't help but scold, "Why do you want to set up an archway!" Disgusting! (To be continued......)
