Chapter 153: The Wisher Takes the Bait
"Everyone's there?" Xu Guanwu asked in surprise.
"Yes, everyone wants to hear the good news, but how can they not hear it?" Xu Guanying said.
"Ah Wu, don't be sad, the nomination is already rare." Xu Guanwen comforted, "The opponent of this Golden Globe Awards is so strong, "The Godfather 2" and "Chinatown" are rare masterpieces, even if you lose, it is not wronged." ”
"yes, it's amazing to be nominated."
"Stanley, no matter what, is the pride of our Hong Kong filmmakers!"
……
A large group of people in the room said babblingly.
Xu Guanwu heard Liang Shuyi's voice, Zheng Shi'an's voice, and Zhong Jinghui's voice, and heard so many people comforting himself together, Xu Guanwu felt warm in his heart.
"Xiexie everyone, Xiexie!" Xu Guanwu said movingly, "By the way, I want to say a few words to Serena." ”
"Stanley, it's me!" Liang Shuyi took the phone, "What's the matter?" ”
"I'd like to ask how the poaching of Jihua went? Also How happened to "Queen of Temple Street"? Xu Guanwu asked.
"The poaching of Jihua is going very smoothly, and the editors-in-chief of several newspapers such as "Sing Tao Daily", "Cheng Pao" and "Hong Kong Economic Daily" all have the intention of taking refuge, and we have now contacted hundreds of people." Liang Shuyi reported, "However, because of the background of "Oriental Daily", we did not dare to move randomly for the time being. ”
Xu Guanwu nodded, and it only took a few days to poach Jihua to achieve such brilliant achievements, and Liang Shuyi made great contributions.
As for "Oriental Daily", Xu Guanwu was also a little stunned. The behind-the-scenes bosses of this newspaper are Ma Xizhen and Ma Xiru, brothers, one of the four major underground families in Hong Kong, and they are super drug lords like Lame Hao.
The legendary experience of the two brothers was later made into a movie "The Dragon Brothers and Tiger Brothers of the Four Families", starring Lu Liangwei and Zheng Zeshi, which is also a classic of Hong Kong biopics.
Although Xu Guanwu knew that the two brothers would be investigated by the Independent Commission Against Corruption in the future, he did not know exactly when it was. Therefore, it is inevitable that there are some rat throwers, and they dare not blatantly attack the "Oriental Daily".
After all, this newspaper is an important tool for the Ma brothers to launder black money, and if Xu Guanwu breaks it, they will definitely be angry with him.
These people are not ordinary businessmen, and they also tell you the rules of doing business, they are famous drug lords, they don't know how many lives they have, and sending gunmen to kill opponents is just a piece of cake.
Xu Guanwu still wants to live for a few decades, so naturally he doesn't want to provoke these guys.
"What about "Queen of Temple Street"?" Xu Guanwu asked again.
"I have invited well-known film critics and filmmakers in Hong Kong to enjoy the play "Queen of Temple Street", and I have also published the film reviews written by them in our newspaper. Although everyone has said a lot of good things about this drama, the effect is still not obvious. "Oriental Daily", "Sing Tao Daily" and other newspapers are still criticizing, I think we will have to wait until we dig people up before we can return the innocence of "Queen of Temple Street". Liang Shuyi introduced.
"Then let's step up our efforts and try to poach people as soon as possible." Xu Guanwu said, "If this matter is not resolved quickly, it will be troublesome when the dramas "Drunken Fist" and "Salted Fish Reborn" are released in the future." ”
"I see." Liang Shuyi nodded.
……
After making the call, Xu Guanwu fell on the bed.
"It's still not good over there in Hong Kong, is it?" Zhao Yazhi saw that his face was a little bad, so she hurriedly lifted Xu Guanwu's head lightly and put it on her thigh, and then put her fingers on the acupoint of Xu Guanwu's head and helped him gently massage it.
"Alas, I was originally well-intentioned and wanted to support Hong Kong's niche films, but I didn't expect to be so criticized. I spent so much effort that I don't know why. Xu Guanwu sighed and said.
I kindly rented a theater and invested in new directors to make movies...... has done so much for Hong Kong movies, but no one appreciates it, but it was scolded by several newspapers, and it is really not worth it to think about it.
"Don't be angry, do things, there are always people who like to be scolded." Zhao Yazhi comforted, "As long as you know what you are doing is the right thing, you can do it." What do others think, is it really that heavy or not? ”
"That's right." Xu Guanwu suddenly opened his mouth, what he did was originally against the sky, and it was normal for others not to understand, so why should he be angry with these people.
"Ah Zhi, you really deserve to be my good wife." Xu Guanwu got up and kissed him fiercely.
……
The next day, at breakfast, the waiter ironed the newspaper and brought it to me.
Xu Guanwu opened it and saw that it was reported on the grand occasion of yesterday's Golden Globe Awards ceremony, including reports about Xu Guanwu.
"None of the five nominations for "Rocky" have been successful, and Hong Kong investors are saddened."
"The American Dream is hard to beat Chinatown, and all five nominations have failed."
……
"These American newspapers know how to scribble, so let's eat first and don't read them." Zhao Yazhi was worried that her husband would affect her appetite after seeing this, so she hurriedly persuaded her.
"It's okay, just see what they say." Xu Guanwu waved his hand, "Huh?!" This paragraph also mentions you, saying that you are very beautiful, and also named you the goddess of the East. ”
"What a 'goddess of the East', it sounds really numb." Zhao Yazhi waved her hand and smiled.
"No, I think it's a good description." Xu Guanwu echoed, "In my heart, you are my goddess." ”
Zhao Yazhi smiled proudly when she heard this, "Don't talk about this, let's eat." ”
"Well, eat, eat, have dinner, I want to meet someone." Xu Guanwu also said.
"Who are you going to see?" Zhao Yazhi asked.
"A very good film director, if I can take him under my command, I will be able to play in Hollywood in the future." Xu Guanwu said with a smile.
"Who, so powerful?" Zhao Yazhi was a little unconvinced.
"Steve. Spielberg. "Xu Guanwudao.
"Who is this, I've never heard of this name, is he really that powerful?" Zhao Yazhi said suspiciously.
"Of course, you'll find out in a few months, this is definitely one of the most successful directors in Hollywood." Xu Guanwu said with a smile.
At the thought of meeting with the most well-known director in Hollywood, Xu Guanwu couldn't help but feel excited, and quickly finished eating, Xu Guanwu changed into his outfit and was about to go out, but at this moment the phone rang.
Xu Guanwu frowned and picked up the phone, "Stanley, it's me!" ”
Lei Shidong's voice came from the other side of the phone.
"Call me so early?" Xu Guanwu smiled, "You're not here to comfort me, are you?" ”
"You said you didn't win the prize, I don't think I need to comfort you. With your ability, Yujian should have arrived long ago. Lei Shidong said, "I called to ask you, if you have time later, I want to meet with you." ”
"Now? Things are in a hurry, can you delay it, I'll wait for something. …… Oh well, I'll be waiting for you in the hotel lobby. Xu Guanwu put down the phone, with a strange smile on his face, Lei Shidong was so restless, it seemed that things had progressed somewhat.
