Chapter 513: Hui Yan Yaji Charity Fund

"Alas, I was very excited to hear about the charity fund before, and I thought it was a fun thing. But if you really have to do it, you will know that Lu Dao is really troublesome. Zhao Yazhi pouted and said.

"It's not that simple to get something done." Xu Guanwu smiled and said, "But running a charity fund is a very meaningful thing, even if the process of doing things is very troublesome, if you think that you have really helped people, your heart will be happier." ”

"That's right," Zhao Yazhi couldn't help but nod when she heard him say this, "By the way, what should we call our charitable fund?" We're going to register in the next two days, but I don't think it's very good to think of a few names. You have so much knowledge, why don't you help us get one? ”

"The purpose of our charity fund is to do good deeds, and we don't want to be majestic, it's good to choose any name, so do we have to think about it so much?" Xu Guanwu smiled and said, "In my opinion, the more unpretentious the better, and the name should not be too eye-catching, otherwise people will think that we are deliberately putting on a show." ”

"I don't want it, I must have a nice name, otherwise I will be laughed at when I say it." Zhao Yazhi disagreed with Xu Guanwu's statement, "Besides, it is a good thing for us to do charity, and we don't have ghosts in our hearts, so why should we be afraid of being told by others?" ”

"Ahem, you don't know the atmosphere of Hong Kong, one by one is the most snobbish, you specialize in the jokes of the wealthy, and you make irresponsible remarks." Xu Guanwu smiled and said, "It's okay for our charity fund to be low-key, otherwise once something happens, a good thing will turn into a bad thing." ”

"Well, in that case. So what do you say it should be called? Zhao Yazhi thought for a moment. I also think what my husband said makes sense. I couldn't help but ask with a flat mouth.

"Since this charity fund was founded by you and Qingxia, it is called Zhixia Charity Foundation, how about it?" Xu Guanwu said with a smile.

"Huh?! Such a dirty name, it doesn't sound as good as I thought. Zhao Yazhi couldn't help but smack her tongue when she heard this, "I think it's called Cihang Pudu Foundation, Buddha Light Illumination Foundation and the like, all of which sound more atmospheric than this." ”

"Didn't I say that you should keep a low profile as much as possible. You call your name so loud. It is also Cihang Pudu, and it is the light of the Buddha, can you really be like the Buddha and Guanyin, and you can respond to your requests? Xu Guanwu listened to the two names that Zhao Yazhi broke out, and almost didn't fall off the bed, and couldn't help but say angrily.

"That's called the Zhixia Charity Foundation, it's indeed a bit dirty." Zhao Yazhi said, "No, this name is definitely not good, let's help with a few others." ”

"Alas. Wait......" Xu Guanwu suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind, "There is." How about calling Hui Yan Yaji? ”

"Hui Yan Yaji?! How is it written? Zhao Yazhi couldn't help but be stunned when she heard this name, and then couldn't help but ask excitedly.

"Hui is the wisdom of wisdom, Yan is the meaning of beauty, Ya is the meaning of elegance, and set is the collection of wisdom, beauty and elegance." Xu Guanwu explained with a smile.

"Huh?! It's a great name, it sounds beautiful." Zhao Yazhi said with a smile, "Thank you, husband!" I decided to go with that name. ”

"Okay, if you're satisfied." Xu Guanwu said with a smile.

The name Hui Yan Ya Ji is actually a charity organization co-founded by the beauties who have been selected for Miss Hong Kong in the past, and uses the fame and status of Miss Hong Kong itself to hold charity activities.

Because every member is a beautiful woman, every time this charitable foundation conducts an event, it will attract a large number of celebrities and gentlemen, and naturally there is no shortage of media. Therefore, this charitable foundation is becoming more and more influential.

Zhao Yazhi, who won the first runner-up in the first Miss Hong Kong election, has also served as the president of Hui Yan Yaji in recent years, and under her leadership, the charity has done many commendable good deeds.

Xu Guanwu saw that the name of the Zhixia Charity Foundation did not match Zhao Yazhi's wishes, so he suddenly thought of the name of the "Huiyan Yaji" Charity Fund.

"Okay, I'll call you again and make small talk, let me call Qingxia again." Xu Guanwu then smiled again.

"No need to call her." Zhao Yazhi said with a smile.

"What's going on, what's going on?" Xu Guanwu was shocked and asked suspiciously.

"Qingxia is by my side now, I'll give her the phone now." Zhao Yazhi said with a smile, and then heard Lin Qingxia's pleasant voice on the other side of the phone.

"Ah Wu, what time are you in the United States, and you haven't gone to bed yet?" Lin Qingxia asked with concern, "Don't go to bed too late, it's not good for your health." ”

"Well, it's okay, it's only nine o'clock in the evening." Xu Guanwu smiled and said, "Are you okay for the past two days, and the baby hasn't kicked you again?" ”

"Yes, now that the momentum is getting bigger and bigger, I think it must be a leather boy." Lin Qingxia said with a smile, "See if I can beat his little ass after I give birth to him?" ”

"Hehe, you are fierce now, and when the time comes, you can't bear to do it." Xu Guanwu said with a smile.

"That's right, by the way, is today the day when "A Plan and Planning" is officially released, how is it, how is the box office revenue on the first day?" Lin Qingxia asked with a smile.

"It's less than the top, it's more than the bottom." Xu Guanwu smiled and said, "The box office revenue on the first day was $1.5 million. ”

"Well, it's already much better than local movies in Hong Kong." Lin Qingxia nodded and said, "Then when will we be able to recover the cost?" ”

"It depends on how well the publicity goes. But I have confidence in 20th Century Fox, and I also have confidence in the movie "A Plan". Xu Guanwu said with a smile.

"I heard Ah Zhi say that you are going to tour the United States tomorrow to do propaganda, the United States is so large, and you have to travel so many places, you must be very tired. You remember to take care of yourself. Lin Qingxia chattered.

"Well, don't worry, I'll pay attention to it myself." Xu Guanwu smiled. "You also have to pay attention to your body. It is still necessary to have regular check-ups every day. Make sure you and your baby are safe. ”

"I've got it all in mind, okay, you'd better rest early, and then call later." Lin Qingxia said with a smile.

"Well, wait for me to come back." After Xu Guanwu finished speaking, he hung up the phone.

……

The next day, Xu Guanwu got up early and took Hong Jingbao and a few people downstairs to have breakfast, and found a report on "A Plan and Planning" in the newspaper.

For this Hong Kong action film invested by Hui Guanwu. There were a lot of newspapers that paid attention, and in addition to covering the news of the grand premiere, it was naturally accompanied by reviews about the film.

Xu Guanwu flipped through more than a dozen newspapers and found that most of the reviews were relatively positive, thinking that this action movie was quite interesting, especially its action scenes were very gorgeous, which made people watch the fight scenes of European and American action movies after watching them, and they couldn't help but feel like chewing wax.

But the flashy action scenes aside, the rest of the content is a bit lackluster. The story of the movie "A Scheme" does not have much novelty, and the actors' acting skills are also relatively exaggerated. Most of the negative reviews are directed at this. believes that Hong Kong films still have a long way to go if they want to win the recognition of American audiences.

Xu Guanwu read all the reports of the positive and negative sides. I think the comments of these newspapers are quite pertinent, which is actually a good phenomenon, at least the American media did not put on a "wolf" expression. However, this may also be because Hollywood in the United States is really strong, so it is not afraid of Hong Kong movies to challenge it at all.

After Xu Guanwu finished reading these newspapers, he casually put them aside.

Hong Jingbao curiously took the newspaper over, and then found the page of the report "A Plan and Planning". However, although he can have a simple conversation in English, he has a lot more difficulty reading English articles, and he doesn't recognize any words except for a few simple words, so he doesn't understand what they mean even if he looks at them.

"Mr. Xu, what does this newspaper say?" Cheng Long knew his English level, so he no longer pretended to read the newspaper, but directly asked Xu Guanwudao.

"It is said that the action scenes of this movie are gorgeous, and they are much stronger than European and American action movies." Xu Guanwu said with a smile.

"Really?! Wow, it seems that the old beauty is also quite knowledgeable. Hong Jingbao listened and couldn't help but smile proudly.

The martial arts instructor of the movie "A Strategy" is him Hong Jingbao, and all the action scenes are completed by his Hong family class. Now that the newspaper is praising the action scenes, it is naturally praising him.

"Anything other than praising the action scenes for being gorgeous?" Cheng Long couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Nope." Xu Guanwu waved his hand and said, "Hurry up and eat, after eating, we should rush to the trip to do publicity." ”

"Wouldn't it, such a big page, just boasting about the action scenes?" Cheng Long couldn't help but be disappointed when he heard it.

"There must be other meanings, but Mr. Xu is embarrassed to say it." Hong Jingbao waved his hand and said, "I think most of the rest is criticism." ”

"No wonder, no matter how good our movie is, there will definitely be criticism. Mr. Xu didn't tell us, probably because he was afraid of hurting our self-esteem. Cheng Long nodded.

"It's best if you know the way, so we have to pretend that we don't know anything, and let's keep this matter in our hearts first." Hong Jingbao nodded and said, "Wait for the publicity to cheer me up, don't give me a chain." ”

"Don't worry, senior brother, we know how to do it." Yuan Biao nodded.

……

After eating, a few people got into the RV and started driving all the way east.

The routes of the cars are specially planned, and "A Plan Lu" is released in every place it goes. Whenever Hong Jingbao and others go to a place, in addition to being interviewed by local media, they will also watch movies with local audiences, and take photos with the audience after the movie is over.

This kind of push-type publicity campaign is relatively common in the American film industry. This kind of local promotion saves money, and the effect of publicity is also very good, and more importantly, it shortens the distance between the actors and the audience, which is very beneficial to cultivating their loyal fans.

Although Hong Jingbao and others are all from Hong Kong, it can be said that they were not famous at all in the United States at first, but after this push-type publicity, everyone is familiar with each other, which is also very beneficial to their future development in the United States.

And with the development of this kind of local promotion activities, the box office of the movie "A Plan" is also rising. Of course, this is actually inseparable from Fox's intensive propaganda offensive, which frequently advertises in newspapers, magazines, television, and radio, and at the same time invites some relatively famous gunmen to publish articles in newspapers and magazines to raise the flag and shout for "Plan A."

After many efforts, the box office of the movie "A Strategy" has reached 15 million US dollars a week after its release, which has basically made Xu Guanwu recover his investment. And seeing that the box office of "A Plan and Planning" is still steadily rising, I know that the $15 million is just the beginning.

Seeing that the box office of "A Planning" was hot, Lei Shidong also decided to expand the scale of the release, from 400 theaters to 600 theaters, which made the box office of "A Planning" a leap. (To be continued......)
