Chapter Seventy-Four: Marriage
After returning to Hong Kong, the brilliant cinema line of Hui's Brothers Company has been renovated for half a month, and all the huge signboards have been hung.
Amid the earth-shattering gongs and drums, the four Hui brothers and celebrities in Hong Kong's political and business circles cut the ribbon for the opening of the new cinema chain.
Huge color photographs were published on the front pages of major newspapers.
"Brilliant Cinema is newly opened, Hong Kong films compete for hegemony in the Three Kingdoms!" The headline of "Sing Tao Daily" reads.
"Where the Seagull Flies" was grandly released in seven theaters under the Brilliant Cinema Line, while the remaining eight theaters each screened two kung fu films, all from independent production companies.
Brilliant Cinema Line was officially launched, and Xu Guanwen sincerely hired Zhou Liang Shuyi as the manager of Brilliant Cinema Line.
When it comes to Chow Leung Shuyi, I can't help but introduce her, this is a legendary woman in Hong Kong.
She is a well-known television figure in Hong Kong, a former member of the Executive Council, a former member of the New Territories West Constituency of the Legislative Council, a former vice chairman of the Liberal Party, and a former chairman of the Hong Kong Tourism Board.
Because her father was in the film distribution and cinema business, Chow Leung Suk-yee was very interested in film and television since she was a child, and when she grew up, she went to the Ross Bluff Recitation and Drama School Research Institute in the United Kingdom, and worked as a teacher and actress in the Drama Theatre of the Royal Academy of Music.
After completing his studies, he returned to Hong Kong to join TVB as an executive producer, and produced many popular programs, such as "Double Star Annunciation" and so on. Because of this, he met Xu Guanwen and became a very important friend.
After Xu Guanwen established the Brilliant Cinema Line, he felt that the company really lacked manpower and had no talents to manage the cinema line, so he sincerely invited Zhou Liang Shuyi to come.
Zhou Liang Shuyi has been in wireless for four years, and has grown from a small weather forecast announcer to a powerful producer.
But Chow Leung Shuyi likes to constantly challenge herself, and at that time there were two TV stations in Hong Kong, one was TVB and the other was Li's TV.
However, Li's TV station used to be a cable TV channel, and if you watched it, you still need to pay a fee, so TVB TV took advantage of the rise of the situation, and the ratings have been high, and Li's TV station has no power to resist.
Zhou Liang Shuyi probably felt that there was really no challenge, and there was a sense of fighting with swords and looking around, and seeking defeat alone, so she resolutely gave up the high-paying and high position of wireless and chose to defect to the newly established brilliant cinema line.
Chow Leung Shuyi's defection caused a lot of turmoil in the Hong Kong entertainment industry, and she also became the first high-level person poached by Hui's Brothers Company from Sir Shao.
For a time, newspapers and magazines hyped up the headline "Xu's Brothers Company Declares War on Shaw Brothers."
Compared with the newspaper media, the two parties, Xu Brothers and Shaw Brothers, were very calm and did not fight because of this.
The reason is that the current situation in the Hong Kong film industry is very delicate, with the three efforts of Shaw Brothers, Golden Harvest and Hui's Brothers, among which Shaw Brothers is the largest and strongest, but he is old and sick, and he is troubled and distressed; Golden Harvest is in the prime of life, strong and ambitious; Hui is the youngest, but the potential is limitless.
Together, any two of the three would be enough to defeat the other; And if any two of the three fight together, they will also lose both, giving the other a chance to take advantage of.
So, it is not for nothing that the most stable figure is a triangle.
All three parties have the idea of swallowing the other two, but they are afraid to act at will.
It also plunged the Hong Kong film industry into an eerie calm.
Zhou Liang Shuyi officially took office as the manager of Brilliant Cinema from the moment she cut the ribbon of Brilliant Cinemas.
As a cinema manager, his main job is to be responsible for the promotion and distribution of films, coordinate the release schedule of films, increase or decrease the number of theaters released, and maximize the box office of films.
Therefore, this work is not simple at all, and requires a keen sense of the market and precise data analysis capabilities.
……
With Zhou Liang Shuyi taking office as the manager, the Brilliant Cinema Line was officially launched, and it was gradually on the right track, and Xu Guanwu finally breathed a sigh of relief and calmed down to prepare for his marriage.
In the more than half a month that he has been busy for the theater, Xu's father and Xu's mother have been busy preparing for the wedding.
It is also quite troublesome for Hong Kong people to get married, and it is necessary to take into account the wedding cakes, wedding cards, wedding photos, and honeymoons in the church.
Xu Guanwu was married for the first time in both his previous life and this life, and he had no experience at all, so he was naturally a little curious.
Since he was busy with the theater business, he was finally free, and he was immediately taken by the old couple, making clothes, taking wedding photos, buying wedding rings, etc., etc., every day is like a 25,000-mile long march, tired like a dead dog.
After half a month of intense preparations, the wedding was finally held on an auspicious day of the zodiac in June.
Now the Xu brothers are all well-known celebrities, so many celebrities came to the wedding scene to congratulate, and there were many reporters outside the church where the wedding was held. The wedding scene is like an Academy Awards ceremony.
Xu Guanwu originally thought that he could keep a low profile, but he didn't expect to alarm so many people, and even film companies from Taiwan and Southeast Asia rushed to participate and offered heavy gifts to celebrate.
……
At 10 o'clock in the morning, the wedding ceremony was officially held.
In the melodious music, Xu Guanwu stood under the stage, smiling and staring at the entrance.
I saw Zhao Yazhi wearing a white wedding dress, walking slowly under the foil of the two bridesmaids.
The reason why it is not her parents is because Zhao Yazhi's heart knot with her parents has not been untied for the time being, so they were not invited to this grand wedding.
"You're so beautiful today." Xu Guanwu took Zhao Yazhi from the bridesmaid and said with a low smile.
Zhao Yazhi smiled sweetly, and the two stood in front of the wedding stage together.
"Ladies and gentlemen, we are gathered here today to attend the wedding of Mr. Xu Guanwu and Miss Zhao Yazhi." The priest who officiated at the wedding smiled and read the lines aloud with a serious smile.
Xu Guanwu didn't bother to listen to his ink at all, and now his whole body was in ecstasy, his heart was beating violently, and the blood circulation accelerated and his throat felt dry.
"Mr. Xu, are you willing to marry Miss Zhao Yazhi as your wife, and are you willing to love her unreservedly and be loyal to her forever, whether it is good or bad, rich or poor, healthy or sick, happy or sorrowful?" The priest asked.
"I do." Xu Guanwu replied hoarsely.
"Miss Zhao, you ......," the pastor continued.
"I do." Zhao Yazhi also replied seriously.
"Now please exchange rings for the bride and groom." The pastor said.
Xu Guanwu immediately took the wedding ring from his younger brother Xu Guanjie, the box was opened, and the shining light of the diamond ring instantly attracted countless eyes.
"Wow, that's a big diamond!" Someone exclaimed.
Xu Guanwu smiled proudly, in order to order this pigeon egg diamond ring, it cost him more than 400,000 Hong Kong dollars, which is more expensive than buying a façade in Central.
Zhao Yazhi didn't expect Xu Guanwu to do what he said, and really bought himself a pigeon egg diamond ring, and couldn't help crying with joy.
After exchanging rings with each other, the two kissed intimately amid the cheers of everyone.
