Chapter 676: Christmas Schedule

When Liu Luanxiong got a deposit of 10 million US dollars and couldn't hold the contract, Steve. Wanda appeared by Xu Guanwu's side.

"Boss, that Liu Luanxiong has already taken the bait." Steve. Wanda said with a smile.

Xu Guanwu nodded, "Very good, then find the original plan to continue to implement." ”

Steve. Wanda agreed, turned and walked out.

Xu Guanwu Shi Ran returned home and saw his son slowly practicing crawling on the carpet, so he couldn't help but hug him over and smack on his face, "Hey, good son, shout 'Dad' and listen." ”

"He doesn't even know how to woo, where can he call the word dad." Zhao Yazhi smiled on the side, "Besides, I usually take him, he should learn to say 'mom' first." ”

"You put him down first, the child crawls on the ground, it will help his health." Lin Qingxia said with a smile on the side.

Since Zhao Yazhi also moved to the mansion in Mid-Levels, the two of them have often visited the door, Xiao Sichen and Xiao Simo are also tired of being together all day long, childhood sweethearts, and the two have no guesses.

"Okay, okay, don't hug it, don't hug it, go down and play with my sister." Xu Guanwu said that he was going to put his son on the ground.

At this time, Xiao Simo cried quite uncooperatively.

Xu Guanwu hurriedly panicked, and hurriedly hugged his son again, and sure enough, his son immediately stopped crying.

"Ha, I saw it, it's my son who is rare, I'll hold him." Xu Guanwu proudly showed off, "Come, good son, dad hug it, don't cry!" ”

"Stinky fart, if we hug it, my son won't make trouble." Zhao Yazhi said with a smile.

"Then you can hug and see." Xu Guanwu said and handed his son over. Zhao Yazhi stretched out her hand to take it. Just got on my son's clothes. The little guy made a lot of trouble without giving face, twisting and twisting in Xu Guanwu's arms, but he didn't drill into his mother's arms.

"Alas, good son, it's still your rare father, come and play with our grandfather." Xu Guanwu held back a smile while holding his son and sitting on the sofa.

Zhao Yazhi was embarrassed for a while, turned her head and pulled her son's little face. "You little white-eyed wolf, I coax you every day, accompany you, and now I can't hug you. Your dad doesn't hug you once in a few days, and you're still so rare with him. Sure enough, the sons are the closest to their fathers? ”

Lin Qingxia wanted to laugh on the side but didn't dare to laugh, she couldn't help but endure it very hard, and when she saw Xu Guanwu holding Xiao Simo, she couldn't help but move in her heart, and hugged Xiao Sichen too.

To be honest, Xiao Sichen's appearance completely inherited all the advantages of his mother. At a young age, he was bright and bright, and his eyes were big. It has a pretty nose and white skin, and at first glance it looks like a porcelain doll. At the same time, Xiao Sichen also inherited his mother's character, not noisy or noisy, quiet and quiet, and definitely a 100% good child.

Xiao Simo looks a little like Xu Guanwu, his nose is a little collapsed, and his face is a little round, not like he has a goose egg face. The character is probably the same as his mother.,It's an out-and-out troublemaker.,Now he's still young and crawling everywhere and starting to get into trouble.,I've knocked down the wooden frame that holds the vase several times.,Nearly hit the head of the flower pot again.。 was so frightened that Zhao Yazhi no longer dared to put these decorations in the house.

"Come, good daughter, you can sit down with Daddy too." Xu Guanwu saw that Lin Qingxia had hugged Xiao Sichen too, and hurriedly smiled and reached over to hug his daughter and put it on his lap together.

Xiao Simo was still not very honest sitting on his lap, constantly twisting around, but Xiao Sichen was quiet and not naughty at all.

"Ah Wu, what are you doing mysteriously these days?" Zhao Yazhi suddenly asked.

"Am I mysterious these days?" Xu Guanwu said suspiciously.

"Well, it's a little bit, go out early and return late, what are you busy with?" Lin Qingxia also nodded and asked.

Xu Guanwu smiled, "Let's dig someone's pit again." ”

"Dig the pit?!" Zhao Yazhi blinked suspiciously.

Xu Guanwu waved his hand, "I'll tell you what happened." ”

"Hmph, it's like this again, it's annoying." Zhao Yazhi wrinkled her nose and said.

……

Seeing that it is December and Christmas is about to arrive, the Hong Kong film industry has gradually become lively, and various posters have been posted at the entrance of theaters, subway stations, bus stations and other places 20 days in advance.

In North America, the movie "ET" has also begun to warm up for publicity. Spielberg's sci-fi blockbuster, which took a year and a half to shoot, cost $25 million for the entire film, and the production cost of the protagonist ET alone was millions of dollars. The film uses a lot of special effects, and it can be described as one of the most powerful sci-fi films of the year.

Here in Hong Kong, Hui's launched "Full House of Gold" co-starred by Cheng Long, Hong Jingbao, and Yuan Biao during the Christmas schedule. After the drama was released in North America during the summer vacation, it received a very high box office. Now that it has finally been released in Hong Kong after several months, the citizens of Hong Kong are a little impatient to wait.

The drama "Cannonball Speed" has also been released before, and it has achieved very good box office results, and now everyone is looking forward to the release of "Full of Gold". This time, "Full of Gold" was released simultaneously in Asia, and Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan, South Korea, Nanyang, and five places were released on the same day, which was unprecedented. Of course, Cheng Long, Hong Jingbao, Yuan Biao and others have to take a plane, and they have to seize the time to run propaganda all the way. But they've done the same in the U.S., so I'm sure they've already adapted to it.

In addition to an action comedy "Full of Gold", Hui's will also launch "Community Angel" starring Zheng Wenya and Ren Dawei during the Christmas schedule. This is a love literary film, which not only has the love between Ren Dawei and Zheng Wenya, but also depicts the twilight love of the elderly, which is a relatively in-depth work.

In addition to Xu's, Shaw Brothers launched "Demon Temple Slaying the Dragon" made by the great director Zhang Che, which is adapted from Jin Yong's "Heaven and Dragon Slayer", but it can be called the sequel of this book. tells the story of Zhang Wuji, who had been lying to death after Song Qingshu, changed his face and became the national teacher of Zhu Yuanzhang, the Taizu of the Ming Dynasty. Then he stole the Heavenly Sword and the Dragon Slayer Knife successively. And he also practiced the Nine Yin True Scripture and the Nine Yang Divine Skill. His skills have increased greatly and he has become a yin and yang person. Zhang Wuji and the Mongolian warrior Tie Zhen met by chance, and in order to eradicate Song Qingshu, the big devil, the two practiced martial arts diligently and finally solved this martial arts evil. (embarrassing plot)

The screenwriter of this film is the famous Ni Wei, who also added his best science fiction elements to this film, such as Zhang Wuji and Tie Zhen when they fought Song Qingshu, they used laser swords, and the duel venue was also in an alien flying saucer, which was simply a blind man's eyes.

The film was also promoted as Hong Kong's first sci-fi martial arts film. The transformation of the great director Zhang Che and so on. In fact, this film is indeed Zhang Che's transformational work. In recent years, Hong Kong films have developed rapidly, and Zhang Che, who was a big hit in the early years, has become more and more powerless in the past two years.

Usually, his films sell one or two million, and the million-level directors of the year are like emperors. But now there are many talented people, the back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, and the new generation of directors such as Hong Jingbao, Wu Siyuan, Mai Jia, Zhang Jian, etc., have a box office of at least 5 million Hong Kong dollars. Even Wang Tianlin, who had already retired from the film industry, rejuvenated his second spring with "Love in a Fallen City".

So Zhang Che knows that his own era has passed. But he himself is a person who does not admit defeat, so he has to fight and he has to fight again, and this "Demon Temple and Dragon Slayer" is his ambition to transform. is no longer just a common plot such as kung fu boy's revenge, but a lot of special effects and sci-fi elements, in a vain attempt to take advantage of the current popularity of sci-fi films, to regain glory.

Because this drama needs to use some special effects, the cost is naturally more expensive, and it took more than 2 million Hong Kong dollars to shoot in total, which is five times the cost of ordinary other films. It can be seen that Sir Shao still trusts Zhang Che, an old courtier. He also hopes that Zhang Che can regain his majesty and lead the Shaw Brothers out of the quagmire again.

However, when Xu Guanwu saw the promotion of this film, he almost burst out laughing, science fiction plus martial arts, I really don't know what Shaw Brothers thinks.

Xu Guanwu remembers that in the late 80s and early 90s, Hong Kong did have a trend of science fiction plus action movies, such as Liu Dehua's "91 Condor Heroes" series, Mei Yanfang, Yang Ziqiong, Zhang Manyu's "Three Heroes of the East" series, Xu Guanjie, Li Lizhen, Zhang Manyu and other "Red Square Flying Dragon", Xu Ke director, Li Lianjie starring "Black Man" series, etc., but these so-called science fiction action movies have not performed well at the box office without exception.

The reason for this is that in addition to the nondescript integration of science fiction and action, the plot that is too curious and the action that is exaggerated to fly is also easy to cause visual fatigue.

In comparison, European and American sci-fi action movies such as the "Matrix" series, the "Terminator" series, the "Predator" series, the "Hulk" series, the "Batman" series, etc., mainly highlight sci-fi elements, especially good at using a large number of special effects to stimulate the audience's visual nerves.

In comparison, Hong Kong's sci-fi action movies have very few special effects shots, even if the technology is developed, it only solves the problem with fists, at best, it is just a sci-fi skin. Just like the invisibility cloak that appeared in "Three Heroes of the East", it is actually more like a Taoist invisibility talisman, and the only sci-fi element is still used nondescript.

Sci-fi action movies are not popular anymore, not to mention the wonderful sci-fi martial arts film of Shaw Brothers, which is just child's play. Xu Guanwu remembers watching a TV series with a similar theme when he was a child, called "Little Man Dragon Whirlwind", and the theme song is quite good.

That TV series starred Wu Qilong and Chen Zhipeng of the Little Tigers, Gu Guanzhong, Zhu Baoyi, etc. played supporting roles, and there are really aliens in the film, and there are even flying saucers. And there are also a lot of magical elements in the film, such as someone turning into a bat at night and another person turning into stone during the day, so two people can't see each other until a solar eclipse happens. (囧個)

There are enough magical elements in this "Demon Temple Slaying Dragon", and you can become a yin and yang person when you practice martial arts, and you can even become an immortal when you practice martial arts...... The mix of elements is like a hodgepodge. made Xu Guanwu think that the people of Shaw Brothers were crazy, how could they come up with such a wonderful film, it was simply too strange.

In addition to the first shot of "Demon Temple and Dragon Slayer", Shaw Brothers also launched a movie "Love for You" written by a newcomer, which tells the story of the son of a wealthy family chasing a Cinderella, but the focus of the movie is not funny, but describes the journey from misunderstanding to love between the two.

However, because this play is a rookie screenwriter and produced by Mu Dunfu, the cult director, the Shaw Brothers has very limited publicity for it, just published advertisements in the newspaper for a few days, and even printed a few more copies of the poster. However, when Xu Guanwu saw that the screenwriter was Zhang Jianting, he still decided to find a chance to watch this play.

Zhang Jianting is also a well-known screenwriter, director, and actor in Hong Kong, and has filmed "Seven Days of Love", "Goodbye Seven Days of Love", "The Man Who Doesn't Take Off His Socks", "Cousin, Hello! series and other classic movies. In addition to disagreeing with his ridicule of the mainland in his works, Xu Guanwu feels that he is actually a very thoughtful director, unlike Wang Fatzi, who always makes movies with and pee.
