After Richard got the script for "Alien", he immediately began to contact the original author, Dan. O'Bannon and subsequently bought the script.

Because Dan. O'Bannon's script wasn't very suitable for making a movie, and some places didn't seem so thriller. After O'Bannon agreed, Richard asked the screenwriter again to add and delete some plots.

And after the script was completed, the search for a suitable director was started to shoot. In the end, Richard chose Resley, who came from England. Scott. In the 70s, the British and American film industries were deeply connected, and many American films used British shooting locations, especially science fiction films.

Because the pinewood studios in the UK are so large and wide that they can even simulate the vastness of the universe. The rigidity and dogma of the British technical staff also give the British special effects technical skills a rigorous and delicate style, making the special effects produced very realistic and breathtaking.

The actors are more closely related, for example, although the 007 series is the representative work of Luen Mei Company, most of the leading actors and main actors are from the United Kingdom. Resley. Scott is also from the UK and previously worked as a director for BBC Television, which he went on to set up his own advertising agency.

The first "Duelist" filmed by him this year achieved a very good reputation, but the box office was much more miserable, but the talent he showed still attracted the attention of Hollywood.

Richard. Zaniuk chose him to shoot "Alien" this time because of his amazing photography and framing skills. Resley. Scott was an advertising director before, so he had very high requirements for the picture, and he paid attention to attracting the audience's attention at first sight.

And for sci-fi horror films. Nature photography is even more important. Through flawless photography techniques. can successfully show the fierce, cunning, dangerous, and brutal side of the alien on the screen. It's about scaring you at first sight. In fact, it is similar to the first sight that the advertisement pursues to attract you at first sight.

Xu Guanwu knows that the reason why Chad is so active in planning this film, in addition to the very good script of "Alien", the most important thing is the high investment. The upfront budget is as high as more than 8 million US dollars, and a special-shaped model costs hundreds of thousands of dollars, which is quite an expensive investment.

And this is also the reason why although the script of "Alien" is good, it always can't find a film company to invest. In the 70s, science fiction films were already niche, and adding a horror film was also niche. The two-in-one can be described as a niche in the niche, and it is strange that the box office can be high.

The highest record for a science fiction film in the 70s was set by "2001: A Space Odyssey", which grossed tens of millions of dollars in North America and $21 million worldwide. And this record has lasted for ten years since it was set in six or eight years, which shows how far away science fiction movies were in Hollywood before.

And what broke the box office record of "2001: A Space Odyssey" was "Star Wars" and "Contact of the Third Kind" invested by Xu Guanwu. These two films, one grossing $800 million worldwide and the other $300 million, left the old-timer far behind.

……

Let Richard slowly finish the filming of "Alien". Xu Guanwu traveled well with his wife in the United States. The private jet will not be completed until half a month later, and they are taking this opportunity to have a good time in the United States.

Grand Canyon, Yellowstone, Niagara Falls, ...... A place I didn't have a chance to visit before. This time, I took the time to visit all of them, and I stayed in each place for two days to avoid missing out on the amazing scenery because of the rush of the trip.

"Ah Zhi, it's rare to have this month of leisure, I don't want to go back to work anymore." Xu Guanwu sat in the restaurant next to the waterfall, tasting the delicious apple pie while smiling and saying to Zhao Yazhi.

"You're only in your thirties now, do you feel like you're lazy and quit?" Zhao Yazhi said with a smile, "After that, staying at home and making a sofa potato didn't wronged you?" ”

Sofa potatoes are a term that Zhao Yazhi has just learned, used to describe those who sit in front of the TV for a long time and become fat because they are too lazy to move. Most of them are middle-aged men, which has become a phenomenon in the United States, and it is a very bad way to live.

"Of course I won't be a couch potato," Xu Guanwu said with a wave of his hand, "I will also choose to travel around the world after I retire, and go to Europe, Africa, Australia, South America...... Take a good look at the local customs and broaden your horizons. ”

"What about the company, do you trust it to others?" Zhao Yazhi asked worriedly, now the scale of Xu Guanwu's company is getting bigger and bigger, and the industry in Hong Kong alone is worth nearly one billion Hong Kong dollars, which is quite a huge property.

"I can monitor it remotely." Xu Guanwu smiled and said, "When the time comes, we can communicate with Hong Kong on Mount Kilimanjaro while enjoying the snowy scenery; Or go to Rio de Janeiro for a carnival and connect with Hong Kong on Monte Cristo; He even went surfing on the Hawaiian island of Oahu and connected with Hong Kong underwater. Isn't that creative, you say? ”

"Although this is true, I still feel that this kind of life is easy, but people don't seem to have a head out." Zhao Yazhi frowned worriedly and asked, "Husband, don't you want to become a loser who only knows how to eat, drink and have fun in the future, right?!" ”

Xu Guanwu was stunned for a moment, and then smiled, "Eating, drinking, and having fun doesn't mean sitting on the mountain, in fact, our current investment can't be eaten in ten lifetimes." ”

"Then take the money to do some beneficial and good deeds, charity is a blessing, and accumulating yin merit is blessed." Zhao Yazhi waved her hand.

"I don't believe in this, you're superstitious." Xu Guanwu smiled. Do you want to donate your hard-earned money to others?! Xu Guanwu was really reluctant.

"It's not good to leave too much money to your children and grandchildren, you didn't find that there are so many wealthy families, just because of the competition for property, so they are separated, and even have to go to the court to fight a lawsuit, what a hurtful thing." Zhao Yazhi frowned and said, "I'd rather my son don't have much money than let them turn their brothers against each other for the family property." ”

"You're thinking long-term, you don't even have a son yet. and thought about the matter of contention in the future generations. Xu Guanwu couldn't help laughing.

However, he also knew that Zhao Yazhi's worries were not unreasonable. Hong Kong has been less affected by the war. Therefore, after a hundred years of relatively stable development, many wealthy people have accumulated a considerable amount of family property.

The older generation of wealthy people in Hong Kong are deeply influenced by traditional Chinese culture, so they basically pay attention to respect and order, brotherhood and brotherhood, and family harmony.

So basically, in the division of property, there will be more successors. Others will only get some soup and water. This is done to prevent the family property from being overtaken by other families because it is too scattered, which leads to the fall of the family.

However, the younger generation is deeply influenced by Western free culture, and what they pay attention to is personal self-interest, so they are naturally very reluctant to have their own interests taken away. What's more, Western culture is all about self-expression. So how can you want most of the family property to be owned by one person?!

So after entering the 60s, with the death of the older generation of Chinese billionaires in Hong Kong, there was an endless stream of news about family property wars. In addition, Hong Kong previously pursued two sets of laws, British law and Qing law, so Chinese were also allowed to marry wives and take concubines.

Generally, the rich have a big house, a second room, a third room, etc., and each house has more or less children, so the issue of property distribution is really a mess, and even a big fight is going to court, which really makes outsiders see a lot of jokes.

Zhao Yazhi is worried that her family has so much property, and in the future, if her children turn against each other for property. That's really going to break the hearts of parents. There is another thing that has to be guarded against, that is, Xu Guanwu is still young after all. If you secretly stick flowers and grass outside, and the golden house hides Jiaojiao and starts another room, the future will be really messy.

So for the sake of herself and her children, Zhao Yazhi doesn't want to have too much property. She thinks more clearly than Xu Guanwu, her children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, and don't worry about her children and grandchildren.

Although Xu Guanwu understood Zhao Yazhi's thoughts, he did not agree with her assertion. In his opinion, Zhao Yazhi's idea is the idea of a small farmer who is safe when he is rich. What is particular about fish is fire, meat is phlegm, and radish and cabbage are safe. I don't want to cause trouble, and I don't want things to mess with me.

This kind of proposition will certainly reduce a lot of trouble, but it will also lose more opportunities. In the future of the information explosion, the whole world has shrunk into a global village, and you are still hiding at home with pots and pots, planning to live your own life in peace, how can you do it?!

Xu Guanwu knows how cruel the competition will be in the future: if ordinary people don't rely on their parents, it will take decades to buy a house. Could it be that if you are lazy now and don't make money, you won't be able to embarrass your children and grandchildren in the future?! Not to mention the crazy rise in prices, the crazy rise in fees, the depreciation of the currency, etc., etc., etc., if you don't save a little more money now, I am afraid that you will cry to death in the future.

When the mainland had just been reformed and opened up, a group of artists who got rich first earned hundreds of thousands of yuan, and they felt that they would not have to worry about eating and drinking in this life. So the retreat of the retreat, the going abroad, the result of twenty or thirty years later, still have to come back in the gray, the reason is that the currency has depreciated sharply, under the crazy rise in prices, hundreds of thousands of people who could have lived for a lifetime can not even hold on for a year.

Besides, Xu Guanwu doesn't believe that his children will be such bastards, fighting for family property and fighting for your old X! There are many ways to solve children's disputes over family property, and donating most of the family property is undoubtedly one of the most stupid methods.

No matter how much Westerners pay attention to making their children independent, they do not donate all their property and let their children run for life again.

Bill. Gates claimed to donate all his wealth to charity, but in fact donated it to his own foundation. And the future of this foundation is by Bill. Gates' children inherited, and this was done to avoid a large amount of inheritance taxes.

Ebill. Gates has a net worth of more than $50 billion, and if his children want to inherit the inheritance, they must first pay a huge inheritance tax of more than $20 billion before they can receive Bill. All the legacies of Gates.

But his children don't have that much property to pay taxes, so it's the equivalent of Bill. Gates's legacy, they simply can't inherit. At this time, donating the inheritance to the charitable fund, and then the children will succeed the charitable fund, which is undoubtedly the best way to inherit and avoid taxes.

Because U.S. law states that donations and insurance are not subject to estate tax. So Bill. Gates's move has not only won wide popularity among the masses who do not know the truth, but also reasonably avoided paying taxes through this trick, which is simply a win-win solution.

And this kind of trick is actually one of the common tricks of the rich in Europe and the United States, when mainland netizens see the Western rich donating a lot of money, and shout for it that they have a conscience, in fact, they do not see that they have saved the huge amount of taxes that should have been paid because of the large donations. Won the lining and won the face, it was really both a table and a memorial arch.

People in Europe and the United States who pay attention to the independence of their children will leave a large inheritance for their children, and Xu Guanwu, who has been influenced by Chinese culture, naturally pays more attention to leaving a rich inheritance for his children.

However, he also knows that his success depends on his advanced memory. And the children don't have this talent at all, so they must rely on themselves to succeed, which also reminds Xu Guanwu that they must strictly manage their education, otherwise if something happens, it will be a big disaster.
