When Lei Shidong called Xu Guanwu to tell him the news, his tone was full of schadenfreude and happiness.

Thanks to the fact that I chose to believe in him at the beginning, now after a year of getting along, whether it is "Rocky", "Jaws", or "One Flew Over the Asylum", all of them are blockbuster films, and they have all achieved great commercial success.

In the past two years, he has made more money than the eight major Hollywood studios. What kind of development speed has grown from a penniless young man to a billionaire in just two years? Lei Shidong felt a little terrifying when he thought about it.

However, now that all three movies are blockbusters, his statement has been fully confirmed. This man is indeed possessed by extraordinary powers, and this power can bring him endless benefits.

At the same time, this ability also predicted that Lei Shidong would become a Shijie-level media tycoon, which made Lao Lei full of endless confidence in himself. Even though he is in his fifties at this moment, he still has a second spring, regaining his enthusiasm and preparing to develop his shili in a big way.

In his previous life, Lei Shidong was rejuvenated like a phoenix because of the baptism of fire, and then he frequently expanded his business territory significantly. Now, inspired by Xu Guanwu's prophecy, he has rekindled his passion for battle.

Xu Guanwu didn't know that his original sentence would have such an amazing effect. In the dark, a drink and a peck, is it not heavenly?

For Lei Shidong's narration, major Hollywood film companies summarized all the reporting materials of Xu Guanwu, and then looked for his investment model from the clues. Xu Guanwu could only laugh.

His investment has always been based on which one is encountered. So what is the fixed pattern?

That's exactly what Hollywood filmmakers wonder. I searched for a long time but couldn't find any contact.

"Rocky", "Jaws", "One Flew Over the Asylum", except that the three movies are all blockbuster movies, have nothing in common at all, the story mode is different, the film genre is different, and the story selling point is also different...... Such a whimsical investment simply dumbfounded a group of Hollywood analysts.

Xu Guanwu let them spend their heads in the pile of old papers, so that they would not tell them their true secrets.

……

News of the box office success of "One Flew Over the Asylum". Soon it was reported back to Hong Kong by Hollywood, and Xu Guanwu once again sparked heated discussions in the city.

After everyone read the report, they couldn't help but want to ask him, how did he invest in it, and why did he become a super-grossing movie by him? Could it be that his hand can turn a stone into gold?

I don't know when, Xu Guanwu's name of "the hand of gold" was called, and it soon spread all over Hong Kong and Kowloon City.

Xu Guanwu didn't bother to pay attention to the self-praise of these media, "It's so crazy to make this money, and wait for Apple to go public, Microsoft to go public, Oracle to go public, Yahoo to go public, and Google to go public in the future...... You still don't see me like a god? "He has more important things to deal with.

It's Christmas just around the corner. During this period, Xu Brothers Company has two kung fu films released, one is the wonderful spoof film "Li Sanjiao Shocks the Gate of Hell". The other is Cheng Long's latest work "Drunken Fist" this year.

Originally, Zeng Zhiwei's drama had already been completed and entered post-production, but this old boy thief wanted to be released during the Christmas schedule and the Spring Festival, so as to make the movie box office higher.

But it's a pity that when he tried his best to delay time, Cheng Long's "Drunken Fist" was announced, and it easily occupied the Christmas schedule.

Seeing this, Zeng Zhiwei had no choice but to hurry up to complete the post-production, and then release it with Cheng Long at Christmas.

Xu Guanwu originally didn't want the two kung fu movies to be released at the same time, because this would divert the audience and beat himself, Zuihou would either lose both, or the west wind would overwhelm the east wind.

But Zeng Zhiwei insisted on being released on the Christmas schedule, and said that if the film did not sell well, he would not want the director's salary for box office dividends.

Xu Guanwu saw that he was so insistent that he even said such cruel words, so he had to frown and promise him to release "Li Sanjiao Shocking Hell Gate" during the Christmas schedule. However, Xu Guanwu still told Liang Shuyi not to put "Drunken Fist" and "Li Sanjiao Megatron Hell Gate" in the same theater, and the two films were released in half of the theaters.

……

Golden Harvest's Christmas schedule is the release of "The Brave and Fearless" directed by Yuan Heping, and specially invited Master Guan Dexing, the actor of the classic Huang Feihong, but he is only a supporting role, and he is a foil for Yuan Heping's younger brother Yuan Sun.

The main actors in "The Brave and Fearless" are still the Yuan brothers, such as the starring Yuan Sunrise, the villain Yuan Xinyi, the supporting role Yuan Xiangren and so on.

The Yuan brothers are full of talents, and they almost don't need outsiders to make kung fu movies. This is the luck of Yuan Jiaban, but it also restricts its development.

In the early days of entrepreneurship, the Yuan Jiaban brothers united and liliang, and naturally outperformed other scattered dragon and tiger martial artists. But after it developed, it was difficult for other dragon and tiger martial artists to integrate into the Yuan family class.

An outsider is in Yuan's class, and if he is not his own brother, he will naturally not be reused, can he only be a stand-in for the rest of his life?

Outsiders have already had such prejudices before they entered the Yuan family class, and after entering the Yuan family class, they will definitely go through a period of training, and it is impossible to play an important role when they come up.

Originally, this was a very common thing, and it was like this in any Dragon and Tiger Martial Arts class. But because that person had prejudice in his heart in the first place, he naturally couldn't see through this, and thought that he was deliberately snubbing him and making things difficult for him, so he left without waiting for the grinding period to pass.

After leaving, he naturally didn't say that he was careful, but poured all the dirty water on Yuan Jiaban. Over time, it will give others the illusion that the Yuan family class cannot enter, and if they do, they will also be a junior brother.

There are no other martial artists in the class, Yuan Heping can only use his own brother, but the more you use your own brother, the more the rumors are confirmed. Under the vicious circle, no one mentioned the matter of defecting to the Yuan family.

On the contrary, because Hong Jingbao successively promoted Zeng Zhiwei and Yuan Biao, he became famous in the Dragon and Tiger martial arts world.

Yuan Biao is his junior brother, and it's just that. But Zeng Zhiwei was not with him before. Instead, he followed Master Liu Jialiang to eat mixed rice. However, Liu Jialiang then accompanied director Zhang Cheda to Taiwan. Zeng Zhiwei followed Hong Jingbao to make a living.

It turned out to be less than a year old. The original dragon and tiger martial artist turned into a director, and the sound of money earned was naturally fascinating.

Everyone will naturally be moved when they see this scene, you Zeng Zhiwei has the ability to be promoted from a dragon and tiger martial artist to a director, and I naturally have nothing to do. Besides, Brother Hong Jingbao is so righteous, as long as I do better than you, I can also be promoted.

People are of the same mind, and their hearts are of the same mind. There are more and more dragon and tiger martial artists who defect to Hong Jingbao, and they have rapidly expanded from more than 50 people before to more than 100 people. As soon as I went out, more than a dozen people hugged each other, so not majestic, and people gave the nickname Big Brother! Bigger than Big Brother.

……

In order to welcome the Christmas file, Shaw Brothers prepared "A Niu Out of Prison" co-starred by Wang Sha and Ye Feng, as well as the masterpiece "Chinese Superman", which were used to compete with Xu's Brothers Company and Golden Harvest Company for the box office.

"A Niu Out of Prison" is the sequel to this summer's "A Niu Enters the City", which still tells the bizarre encounter of the honest young A Niu in a big city.

This summer, the low-budget "A Niu Enters the City" achieved a box office result of 1.5 million Hong Kong dollars, which is definitely a dark horse unexpected joy.

Therefore, Shaw Brothers naturally wants to strike while the iron is hot. immediately gathered the original team and filmed "A Niu Out of Prison" again.

After three months, the filming was finally completed and officially released during the Christmas schedule.

As for the other "Chinese Superman", I have to focus on it, it is really a wonderful work in the history of Hong Kong films, and the best is second only to the "Guan Gong vs. Aliens" filmed in Taiwan.

"Chinese Superman" tells the story of a human being who dived into the depths of the earth during the Ice Age in the future time and space, transformed into monsters and invaded the surface of the earth. Because the monsters are infinitely powerful and have many high-tech technologies, the human army is losing and retreating, and it is time to perish. At this moment, the director of the Academy of Science was ordered to use his decades of research experience to make the brave scientific researcher Lei Ma into an all-powerful superman that cannot be melted by fire, flooded, split by thunder, or destroyed by electricity, and fight against monsters......

Sounds familiar with such a storyline, doesn't it feel familiar?

That's right, this film was shot under the influence of Japanese tokusatsu films.

Seventy years. Japan has set off a wave of special effects films, from "Ultraman" to "Kamen Rider". These special features films have been popular not only in Japan, but also in Southeast Asia, Taiwan, and Hong Kong.

Shaw Brothers discovered the business opportunities contained in it, so they followed the trend and filmed this "Chinese Superman", which was written by Mr. Ni Wei. The play adds the sci-fi elements he is most familiar with, including ice age monsters and electric eye witches, whimsical and bizarre......

Chinese Superman is not simple, he is played by Li Xiuxian, who is not only proficient in Chinese kung fu, but also has a variety of high-tech weapons, such as lightning punches, soul chasing legs, death light knives, clairvoyance, etc. Hitting small monsters one by one, it's much more awesome than Ultraman.

Shaw Brothers propaganda has also made a lot of hard work, touting this film as China's first science fiction movie, which is of epoch-making significance, with first-class stories, first-class stunts, and first-class martial arts...... An absolute masterpiece.

……

The Christmas schedule has unfolded vigorously, with a three-way scuffle between Xu's, Shaw Brothers, and Golden Harvest, and other small film companies are on the lookers again. In such an important period, there is no part of their participation.

When the box office came out on the first day, Cheng Long's "Drunken Fist" took the lead, with a total box office of 250,000; Golden Harvest's "The Brave and Fearless" also has a box office of 200,000, the third place is Shaw Brothers' "A Niu Out of Prison", with a box office of 150,000, the fourth place is Shaw Brothers' "Chinese Superman", 100,000 Hong Kong dollars, and the last one is Zeng Zhiwei's "Li Sanjiao Shocking Hell Gate", with a box office of only 50,000 Hong Kong dollars.

These box offices were calculated by Stanley Investigations after rigorous calculations, and the error did not exceed five percent.

"Zeng Zhiwei's "Li Sanjiao Shocks the Gate of Hell", why is the box office so low?" Xu Guanwu asked suspiciously.

"A few days ago, at the midnight test screening, some people said that this film was really messy, Bruce Lee was playing Yang Guifei again, and he was playing Aimanniu, and he was also fighting with Hades, James Bond, Red Dead Redemption, etc., it was complete nonsense and I don't know what to say." Leung explained.

"So that's the case, it seems that the concept of this movie is still too advanced, and it should be better to push it back a few years and wait for everyone to get tired of watching kung fu comedies, and then launch it." Xu Guanwu nodded.

"Then do you want to cut some theaters and leave Cheng Long's "Drunken Fist"? That movie has a good reputation and a good box office, and many people are queuing up to buy tickets. Liang Shuyi asked again.

"Let's wait a few days and see, what if the box office of "Li Sanjiao's Megatron Hell Gate" comes up?" Xu Guanwu waved his hand.

"In my opinion, there is no hope, the publicity arranged by the company before was similar, and the number of theaters released was more than half. Cheng Long's "Drunken Fist" is 250,000 Hong Kong dollars, and Zeng Zhiwei's movie is only 50,000 Hong Kong dollars, and the difference is too great. Liang Shuyi shook her head, making it clear that she was not optimistic about Zeng Zhiwei's spoof film. (To be continued......)
