Chapter 186: The first week box office
Although know Bill. Gates has unlimited potential and is an unlimited potential stock, but Xu Guanwu doesn't want to invest a lot of money for the time being, so as not to startle Bill. Gates ran away with this slippery loach.
Thinking of Bill. Gates and the later famous Microsoft Corporation, Xu Guanwu couldn't help but think of Stephen Brown, who was as famous as him. Jobs vs. Apple.
"This is also a big fat sheep!" Xu Guanwu snorted and smirked very gracefully.
It's good to travel back to the 70s, when the computer and Internet industries were in the ascendant, and it was time for a big buyout.
Thinking of this, Xu Guanwu hurriedly wrote down the names of computer companies he could think of, such as Intel, AMD, IBM, Microsoft, Apple, Oracle, ADOBE, EA, Nintendo, eBay, messenger, etc.
Some of these companies are already well-known computer companies in Shijie, some have just been created and are still waiting to be fed, and some have not yet appeared.
Xu Guanwu read the names on the pieces of paper by heart, remembered them firmly, and then found a lighter to burn the note directly, and even the paper ashes were flushed into the Pacific Ocean with the toilet.
"In a few days, when Jaws is released, I will go to the United States to set up a venture capital company. When the time comes, take the money and smash it, and force yourself to sell yourself. More than ten years later, I will be able to lie down on the mountain of gold and sleep. Wow hahaha! The more Xu Guanwu thought about it, the more beautiful he became, and he couldn't help but hahadaxiao.
β¦β¦
decided to invest in Jihua, thinking that in a few years, he would have endless money, Xu Guanwu couldn't help but be in high spirits, and stayed up until twelve o'clock in the middle of the night without sleepiness.
But his wife Zhao Yazhi has not returned. Xu Guanwu couldn't help but be a little worried.
He hurriedly called TVB. But no one answered. This made Xu Guanwu fidget, and was about to call the bodyguards to go to TVB to see what was going on, when he heard the sound of cars outside the door.
Xu Guanwu hurriedly greeted him, and saw the female bodyguard walking down from the car with Zhao Yazhi in her arms, which startled him.
"What's wrong, is it hurt?" Xu Guanwu hurriedly stepped forward and asked.
But when he looked closer, Xu Guanwu couldn't help laughing again, it turned out that Zhao Yazhi fell asleep while walking. With his eyes closed, he leaned on the bodyguard's body, and moved forward step by step.
Xu Guanwu couldn't help but feel distressed and funny when he saw his wife tired like this, so he hurriedly stepped forward and stretched out a hand, and the two of them cooperated to carry Zhao Yazhi into the room.
Looking at Zhao Yazhi, who was asleep on the bed, Xu Guanwu smiled bitterly and shook his head. Originally, I didn't sleep so late, because I wanted to tell my wife about my plan to make a fortune, but now it seems that I should hold it in my stomach first.
Help my wife remove her shoes and socks and clothes. Covered her with a thin blanket, and Xu Guanwu went to bed gently. Try not to make a little noise and disturb your wife's sleep.
There was nothing to say for a night, and the next morning, Xu Guanwu was sleeping Zhengxiang, and he felt a shaking around him, and he heard the sound of Xi Xisuo in the haze.
When he opened his eyes, he saw that Zhao Yazhi was busy getting dressed.
"Ah Zhi, why did you get up so early? What time is it? Xu Guanwu asked with a frown.
"It's only five o'clock, so you can go back to sleep." Zhao Yazhi kissed his forehead, "I went to filming in a hurry, so I won't have breakfast with you today." β
"You didn't come back until twelve o'clock yesterday, and now it's just dawn to start work." Xu Guanwu frowned, "This is too much work." β
"Everyone is like this, and I can't be specialized." Zhao Yazhi said with a smile.
"But in this way, it will seriously affect our husband and wife life." Xu Guanwu said dissatisfiedly, "When you started, didn't you say that there were only fifty minutes of scenes? β
"Maybe the director saw that I acted well and gave me more drama. What, aren't you happy for me? Zhao Yazhi said proudly.
"Happy !!!" Xu Guanwu rolled his eyes and elongated his voice.
"I won't tell you, I'm going to be late." Zhao Yazhi said hurriedly.
"You're skipping breakfast?" Seeing that she was in such a hurry, Xu Guanwu hurriedly asked.
"I'll just wait and buy an early breakfast outside the set." Zhao Yazhi said casually.
"How can the breakfast sold outside be nutritious, it is likely to be bad for your stomach. Well, I'll make breakfast and bring it to you. Xu Guanwu shouted, "Anyway, I sit in the office, it doesn't matter if I'm early or late." β
"Forget it, don't visit my class in the future." Zhao Yazhi hurriedly waved her hand.
βweishenmeοΌβ Xu Guanwu asked suspiciously.
"There are so many beautiful women in my crew, I'm afraid that you will go too much and be hooked by someone." Zhao Yazhi said.
Xu Guanwu was speechless for a while, "Do you still remember yesterday's incident?" It's said that it was a misunderstanding. That girl is not pretty, even if I look for it, I will find a beautiful one. β
"What did you say?!" Zhao Yazhi strode to the bed and shouted, killing intent burst out in her eyes.
"No, I didn't say anything." Xu Guanwu hurriedly changed his words with a dry smile.
Zhao Yazhi nodded and went out with her bag on her back.
Xu Guanwu sighed embarrassedly, "Weishenme, no matter how obedient and gentle a woman is, when she encounters this matter, she will turn into a tigress all of a sudden?" I can't figure it out, I can't figure it out! Go to bed! It's the most comfortable. β
Xu Guanwu muttered, turned over, and continued to sleep.

After going to work, the box office of "Tiger Field Chicken" in the first week has been settled.
Although the box office revenue of the Palace Cinema is missing, the box office of "Tiger Field Chicken" is still as high as 1.5 million Hong Kong dollars in the first week, ranking first in the summer season of the Hong Kong film industry.
The second seat was directed by Li Hanxiang's "Alluring the Country and the City" with 1.2 million seats. Golden Harvest's "Eagle Claw Iron Cloth Shirt" ranked third with a narrow advantage of 1.1 million.
There are also several movies in the summer file that have also been well received, such as "A Niu Enters the City" co-starred by Wild Bee and Wang Sha, which has a very good reputation and box office.
Wild Bee and Wang Sha previously co-starred in comedy dramas, which were very popular in the Nanyang area. Shaw Brothers valued the fame of the two, and saw that the comedy co-starred by the Hui brothers was very popular, so they invited the two to Hong Kong Shaw Brothers for development.
This "A Niu Enters the City" tells the story of a countryman who came to Hong Kong and saw many strange and bizarre things, including blood and tears, sorrow and joy, which made people laugh with tears and feel a lot of feelings. This film is more satirical than the Hsu brothers' ghost horse comedy, and it also makes people cry and sigh.
However, compared with the meticulous craftsmanship of Xu's films, "A Niu Enters the City" is a little rougher, and although many places are touching and tearful, they cannot escape the suspicion of deliberate rendering.
In addition to "A Niu Enters the City", the Cantonese opera film "Three Smiling Marriages" directed by director Li Tie was released for two weeks, and the box office exceeded the one million Hong Kong dollar mark, which is really an unexpected joy.
Cantonese opera films played a very important role in the early development of Hong Kong films, and the Cantonese opera masters themselves had many fans, and at that time, there was no need for audiences to buy tickets for opera films. In addition, the story, lines, costumes, and props of the drama film are all ready-made, and they can be shot as long as the machine is on the rack. Often it can be filmed into a drama in three or two days, which was also called "Seven Days Fresh" at that time, which means that filming for seven days is already a big production.
It's just that later, with the improvement of the audience's viewing level and the shoddy production of Cantonese opera films, the "Seven Days Fresh" film gradually lost its market, and the Cantonese opera film also collapsed.
In the past, Hong Kong produced 200 Cantonese opera films a year, but after the decline, it could not produce two in a year. When many Cantonese opera veterans are popular, they both sing on stage and on the big screen, which is even more popular than popular movie stars. But after the decline, not only was it no longer on the big screen, but even the Cantonese opera performances on the stage were much less.
Li Tie, the director of the film "Three Smiles and Marriage", is a senior Cantonese opera director, and has directed many blockbuster classic films, such as the Cantonese opera film "The Story of the Purple Hairpin" and "June Snow"; The realistic films "Tears of the Sea of People", "Spring Dawn in the Dangerous Building", literary films "Zhumen Resentment", "Penang Yan", etc., were well-known masterpieces at that time.
The two leading actors in the play, Long Jiansheng and Mei Xueshi, are the proud disciples of Cantonese opera celebrities Ren Jianhui and Bai Xuexian, Ren Bai can be said to be household names in the Nanyang area of Hong Kong, and they have been popular for more than 20 years, and they are the most famous Cantonese opera celebrities at that time. Long Jiansheng and Mei Xueshi, as disciples of the two, are naturally famous teachers and high apprentices, and they have also learned good skills.
This "Three Smiles Marriage" is based on the Cantonese opera "Dotting Autumn Fragrance", which tells the story of Tang Bohu and Qiu Xiang's marriage with three smiles, which is a household name in Hong Kong. The king of comedy in later generations, Zhou Xingchi, also adapted this story and put it on the big screen - "Tang Bohu Dots Autumn Fragrance".
The story is good, the director is good at it, and the actors are excellent, this "Three Smiles Marriage" is meticulously crafted, and it can be said to be a masterpiece of Cantonese opera films.
Hong Kong filmmakers have always been thieves, and once they find a blockbuster in a certain genre, they will immediately follow the trend and shoot films of the same genre.
Jiahe's boss Zou Wenhuai is one of the masters, although this year's Jiahe results are eye-catching, but on the whole, they still earn less and lose much, and the lack of leading stars is so sad.
Except for the films directed by Wu Siyuan, Yuan Heping, and Wu Yusen, which are still blockbusters, the rest of the films invested or screened are losing money, which makes Zou Wenhuai lose his eyes.
So when he saw that the box office of "Three Smiles of Marriage" exceeded one million, he immediately found Wu Yusen, who is currently idle, and asked him to follow the trend to make a Cantonese opera film.
Wu Yusen has been idle at home tinkering with the script since he filmed "The Essence of the Face" last year. He is not a prolific director himself, and he studied under Xu Guanwen when making comedies, so he didn't learn anything else, but he learned a lot about being strict with the script.
In the past six months or so, Zou Wenhuai has also collected a batch of scripts for Wu Yusen to choose, but Lao Wu himself is not very interested in making comedies, and these scripts are shoddy and follow the trend, and there is no one who can compare with the Xu brothers, so he politely refused to hide at home and tinker with his own script, rather than just copy a script and start work.
This made Zou Wenhuai feel very dissatisfied, but he was reluctant to dismiss him.
Wu Yusen's several films in the past two years are very popular and well-known in the Hong Kong film industry. (To be continued......)
