Chapter 53 Pledged Shares
After roaring, Xu Guanwu pulled Sylvester Stallone and strode out.
Zhou Zhengyang and Cui Yuye were startled at first, and then immediately began to cheer.
"As soon as this kid leaves, I'll straighten it out." Zhou Zhengyang daxiao said.
"Senior, it's up to you to support me in the future." Cui Yuye hurriedly patted his ass.
That night, Zhou Zhengyang and Cui Yuye reported the incident to Zou Wenhuai.
Zou Wenhuai didn't think that Xu Guanwu would use such drastic means to confront, and he didn't know how to deal with it for a while.
In fact, he still admires Xu Guanwu, otherwise he would not have poached him from the Xu Brothers Company. I wanted to use his vision to open up a new world for Golden Harvest in North America, but I didn't expect him to quit because of this incident.
"Alas! The temper of young people is fierce, and they can't stand a little setback. Zou Wenhuai sighed, called He Guanchang over, and explained the situation again, "You see if we should simply vote for him for one or two million, in short, talent first." β
"Raymond, don't be soft-hearted, if you vote for him one million this time, what will you do if he plays this trick again next time?" He Guanchang resolutely objected, "This kind of problem is resolutely not to be used to." I think Bruce Lee was like this at the beginning, he wanted the wind to be windy and rainy, but the world said that Bruce Lee saved Golden Harvest. But they don't see how we do it behind the scenes. β
"According to your opinion, do you just give up this talent?" Hearing He Guanchang mention Bruce Lee, Zou Wenhuai couldn't help but feel depressed for a while.
"Yes, Hong Kong is so big, there are a lot of talents. That Xu Guanwu is just a little smart, but his talent is not outstanding. Otherwise, if you don't go back for a month, you won't get anything. He Guanchang said, "And the project he said is not good at all, even the eight major film companies are not sure to invest, we don't have to take this risk." β
"In that case, then it is decided, and he is allowed to resign." Zou Wenhuai nodded and said, "I will order Zhou Zhengyang to temporarily act as the manager, and then send the right person in the future." β
β¦β¦
Xu Guanwu received a call from Zou Wenhuai that night, although Zou Wenhuai was reluctant to give up on the phone, but he did not keep Xu Guanwu too much.
Xu Guanwu knew that Zou Wenhuai had given up on himself, and it was clear that he was not optimistic about the movie "Rocky".
"Zou Tycoon, you can go to treasure this time." Xu Guanwu laughed to himself.
After knowing that Golden Harvest had no intention of participating in this movie, Xu Guanwu hurriedly called his eldest brother Xu Guanwen.
"Second brother, is it good to live in the United States? Are you used to eating? As soon as Xu Guanwen received the call, he couldn't help but shush and ask for warmth.
"It's all good, it's all good! Big brother, I have a movie here, and after filming, I will have at least ten times the profit. Xu Guanwu went straight to the point.
"What movie makes so much money?" Xu Guanwen was extremely curious.
Xu Guanwu recounted the "Rocky", "Big brother, I am very confident in this movie, as long as I am given a million dollars, I can shoot it successfully." Once screened, it immediately receives more than ten times the return. β
"A million dollars? Second brother, where can I get you so much money? Xu Guanwen was startled and almost dropped the phone on the ground.
"Aren't "Serpentine Tricksters" and "Fat Money" about to be finished, these two movies are definitely blockbusters. Send it to me as soon as you get your share of the box office. "Xu Guanwudao.
"Then I'll also discuss it with Ah Sam and Ah Ying. Ah Wu, a million dollars is not a small amount, you have to think about it before investing. Xu Guanwen was afraid that Xu Guanwu would be deceived, so he told him again and again.
"Don't worry, remember to send the funds over as soon as possible." Xu Guanwu urged.
β¦β¦
After putting down the phone, Xu Guanwen was a little uneasy, and hurriedly called Xu Guanjie, who was still filming in the United States. Let him take the time to go to Hollywood to see if the movie Xu Guanwu said is reliable.
Xu Guanjie's "Little Heroes Havoc in Chinatown" was filmed in San Francisco, USA, and is about to be completed after more than a month.
After the filming was completed, director Luo Wei retreated with the crew, and Xu Guanjie took a plane to Hollywood.
"Ah Sam, let me introduce you, this is Stallone." Xu Guanwu introduced, "Stallone, this is my fourth brother, Ah SAM. β
Xu Guanjie looked Sylvester Stallone up and down, and saw that this gringo was not tall and handsome, short and strong, sturdy and sturdy, like a rock. Especially the expressionless face, which seemed to be piled up of marble.
"Second brother, this is the male protagonist of your new movie?" Xu Guanjie asked in surprise.
"Not bad." Xu Guanwu nodded, "How is it, is it very potential as a superstar?" β
"What a joke!" Xu Guanjie was dumbfounded, he never thought that his second brother would come to Hollywood for a month, and he would choose such a person as the leading actor.
"I'm not kidding, trust me, Sam. Sylvester Stallone will definitely be popular in the future. Xu Guanwu was confident.
Xu Guanjie nodded suspiciously, "Let's take a look first." Second brother, what kind of play did he play before? β
"I don't know, I've probably run a few tricks." Xu Guanwu shook his head and said.
Xu Guanjie felt dizzy, and after running a few tricks, he was called an actor?
"Second brother, he has no acting skills, no fame and no appearance, how can he play the leading role?" Xu Guanjie was speechless for a while.
"He's not as bad as you say, don't worry, that movie is all about creating him as a tough guy. Everything will be understood after you read the script. Xu Guanwu said with a smile.
After bringing Xu Guanjie home, Xu Guanwu immediately took out the book "Rocky" written by Stallone, "Ah Sam, look at it, this script is suitable for Stallone to play." β
Xu Guanjie took the script and read it carefully, his English is much stronger than Xu Guanwu, and he doesn't need the help of a dictionary at all, and he reads the script after dividing five by two.
"Second brother, this script can only be called average, and I found several grammatical errors." Xu Guanjie couldn't help laughing, "This script is written by a newcomer, it's creative and enthusiastic, but it can't help but fall into clichΓ©s, I don't think it can be a big hit." β
Listening to Xu Guanjie's words, Xu Guanwu felt like counting nine cold days, and a basin of ice water was splashed on his head.
Unexpectedly, not only Zou Wenhuai has no vision, but even Ah Sam is not optimistic about this work.
"Do you just let this great opportunity slip away?" Xu Guanwu was almost crazy, "You guys are not optimistic, I am optimistic!" If you don't shoot, I'll shoot! β
"Okay, in that case, give me back the script. You go back and tell your eldest brother that I borrowed the million dollars from him. If I can't make any money, I'll pay off my debts. Xu Guanwu said angrily.
"Second brother, everyone is a brother, why do you want to say this." Xu Guanjie saw that the second brother was angry, and hurriedly laughed.
"Don't talk about the superfluous, Ah Sam, stay with me for one night today, and tomorrow you will go back and tell the eldest brother that I will use 15% of my shares as collateral and let him call 1 million US dollars as soon as possible." Xu Guanjie waved his hand.
When the Xu Brothers Company was established, the eldest brother Xu Guanwen and the fourth brother Xu Guanjie each accounted for 35% of the shares, and the second Xu Guanwu and the third Xu Guanying shared the remaining 30% of the shares.
