Naturally, this seriously harms Xu's interests, because the movies that Gu Long's novels changed by those film companies are all shoddy works, and the plots, characters, pictures, etc. are all rotten, even if Gu Long is in charge, they are still so bad that they are outrageous.

But because Xu Shi and Director Chu Yuan had made a signboard before, the audience thought it was another new work of Director Chu Yuan this year, and they went to the theater to watch it, but no one was not disappointed. Some viewers who didn't know the truth put their hats on Xu's head, which made Xu Guanwen, who was in Taiwan, very uncomfortable to listen to.

Xu Guanwu also heard of this kind of thing for the first time, and opened his mouth wide in surprise, "Don't we have the exclusive film and television adaptation rights of Gu Long's novels, and ask a lawyer to go to Taiwan to fight a lawsuit with them." Otherwise, if they make such a fuss, the movie adapted from Gu Long's novel in the future will have a bad reputation. Xu Guanwu said with a frown.

The strange martial arts film changed by Gu Long's novel can now be regarded as a classic of Hong Kong martial arts movies. Every time director Chu Yuan shoots a scene, he has to spend a lot of thought to ponder. Xu Guanwu also wants to let this kind of strange martial arts film continue to be filmed until the emergence of new martial arts films.

But if it is done by those bad filmmakers in Wanwan, who will be willing to watch the movies directed by Chu Yuan in the future? Good films are enough to support a trend, such as "The True Color of Heroes", such as "A Chinese Ghost Story", such as "Mr. Zombie", such as "Smiling Proud Jianghu...... But a bunch of bad movies can also ruin a type of movie, such as hundreds of zombie movies that suddenly popped up in the past few years after the fire of "Mr. Zombie"; For example, after the fire of "Smiling Proud Jianghu 2", a boom in new-school martial arts films has emerged one after another; For example, after the success of "The True Color of Heroes". The surging rivers and lakes and so on.

Because there are too many movies of the same type in a short period of time, and there are many bad movies, so that after watching too much, the audience completely loses the interest in watching this kind of film again. Like Lin Zhengying's "Exorcist Police" launched after "Mr. Zombie", "Yimei Daoren", both the story and the stunts are excellent, extremely attentive, but because of the bad movie, the reputation was ruined. As a result, the film is good. But it can't replicate the popularity of "Mr. Zombie".

Director Wu Yusen's "The True Color of Heroes" set off the climax of urban Jianghu films/gunfight films, but there are too many works that follow the trend. Although the story of "Bloody Street" that he filmed later is higher, the scene is more popular, and there is more depth and connotation. But the movie suffered a fiasco at the box office.

In Hollywood, even if there are so many studios. But the film is released every year. There are not too many movies of the same type, everyone is trying their best to maintain a tacit understanding and not ruin the entire market with temporary profits. Like some of Hollywood's largest film and television distribution companies. There will be a meeting before the release of the movie, my blockbuster this year is expected to be released for a long time, when is your blockbuster expected to be released, if there is a suspicion of a possible crash, I will take a negotiated attitude to avoid it.

For example, "Air Force One" produced by Columbia in 97 and "Titanic" produced by 20th Century Fox were to be released in the summer of that year. Because both movies are hugely invested films, in order to avoid the two tigers competing for each other, everyone can't take advantage of it. Ford specially visited 20th Century Fox and asked them to postpone the release.

In the 80s and 90s, Harrison. Ford is one of Hollywood's most popular actors, having shot countless blockbuster films and has superb acting skills. Sure enough, 20th Century Fox agreed to postpone its release for half a year, so that "Air Force One" made $400 million at the box office.

The reason why Hollywood studios are so orderly is not because they are morally noble and know how to be polite to their predecessors like gentlemen. On the contrary, it is precisely because they have competed a lot and all of them have suffered a lot of losses that they have learned to be obedient. In the years when American films were just flourishing, these film companies were also fighting fiercely, and all kinds of bad tricks were used, and as a result, everyone suffered heavy losses. It was only after the painful experience that they learned to follow the rules.

Just like the wolves on the grassland, they follow certain rules not because of their good nature, but precisely because wolves are ferocious, and if they don't follow the rules, then no one can survive on this grassland. It took decades for Hollywood studios in the United States to understand this truth after a series of brutal battles. It's a pity that Hong Kong filmmakers didn't have time to understand this truth, and the Hong Kong film market was already in their chicken and goose fights and entered a dead end.

……

"Let's leave this matter at that." Xu Guanwen's answer was really unexpected by Xu Guanwu.

"Forget it?!How can this matter be just like that, he is hurting our exclusive film and television adaptation rights!" Xu Guanwu said depressedly.

"I have consulted a lawyer in Wanwan, and this lawsuit has not been fought, and if it is done, it will be lost." Xu Guanwen spread his hands and said, "The script of the movie was indeed written by Gu Long, so it is not illegal to use the banner of Gu Long." Moreover, they are all new stories, and we have not received the film and television adaptation rights for those stories. ”

Xu Guanwu was dumbfounded when he heard this, "Then it won't be done, damn it, if they do this, the Gulong movie will stink on the street." Who else wants to watch it in the future? Didn't Gu Long think about these things himself? ”

"He can't control it now, he also sold the copyright indiscriminately at the beginning, and there was a gunman to replace the writing, so the copyright of many novels is chaotic. is also thanks to the big face of the Bamboo Union in Taiwan, and no film company dares to touch the novels in our hands, but those novels written by Gu Long, even the Bamboo Union has no reason to care. Xu Guanwen sighed and said.

"Then in this way, didn't Gu Long kill himself himself?" Xu Guanwu frowned and was speechless.

Like Jin Yong, Liang Yusheng, Ni Orbit, Li Bihua, and Ms. Qiong Shao, they all treat their works as children, and they care most about film and television adaptations. Ms. Qiong Shao was worried that her work would be indiscriminately adapted, so she simply withdrew all the film and television adaptation rights in the early 70s. Even if the loss is quite large, it does not care; Jin Yong attaches great importance to the film and television adaptation of his novels, and often participates in the selection of actors to participate; And Ni Wei, Li Bihua, Liang Yusheng, etc. also attach great importance to film and television adaptations to ensure that their works will not be greatly changed.

Therefore, film and television dramas adapted from these people's novels usually have good ratings, and word-of-mouth is also guaranteed. But it is really rare for someone like Gu Long to abuse his own works. In the last life, Shaw Brothers bought the adaptation rights of all Gu Long's novels in the 70s, and as a result, he produced many popular masterpieces. It has become a classic martial arts work in Southeast Asia.

But soon there were many fakes on the Wanwan side. Propaganda under the banner of Gu Long made the Shaw Brothers very angry for a while. But if you want to go to court, you can't do it. It turns out that these movies are all "Gu Long screenwriter", "Gu Long agrees", "Gu Long participates" and other titles. It is not an infringement of Shaw Brothers' exclusive film and television adaptation rights. But it did take advantage of Shaw Brothers. So obviously I suffered a lot of losses. But there was no solution, so Shaw Brothers could only be forced to swallow his anger.

Gu Long can make money just by lending his name, and he is naturally very happy. Later, he became a producer, director, and screenwriter, and wanted to take advantage of the popularity of the work to enter the film and television industry to make a profit. turned out to be hooked up by a third-rate actress of the Shaw Brothers, Hu Tian and Emperor Hu squandered the production funds raised, and the movie shot was naturally miserable, and the theater was shown for a few days, and the box office was miserable. Gu Long didn't find a reason for himself, but complained that the theater was not effective in publicity, and took people to the theater to make a big fuss, which naturally annoyed the film company.

And the bedside was exhausted, and the actress naturally didn't say goodbye, Gu Long lost both his people and money, and caught up with the martial arts novels and began to decline, so he had to borrow wine to drown his sorrows, and died of hepatitis after the most stubbornness. It can be said that it has drawn a very regrettable end to his ups and downs in life.

In fact, with Gu Long's talent, he writes novels well and makes money well, and he will definitely be a literary tycoon with a net worth of hundreds of millions. It's a pity that in response to such a sentence, NOZUONODIE, when he has hepatitis, he still fights with others; knew that others were making money under his guise but did not stop it, but got involved in it for the sake of greed for money; Knowing that the road was a peach-colored trap, he had to rush in, but he was defeated after the worst attempt.

……

"Since you can't pinch them at the source, then jam them at the terminal." Xu Guanwu thought for a while and said, "We can't intervene in the theaters on the Wanwan side, but the theaters on the Hong Kong side must not let them be released." If Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest dare to release it, they will fight the lawsuit with them to the end. In addition, send someone to discuss with Gu Long, and give him a sum of money to stop a little, and stop making such a moth. ”

"This is also a way, I believe that after receiving the money, he should also be a little more restrained." Xu Guanwen thought for a while and said, "By the way, I went to Wanwan this time and met Miss Lin Qingxia, and she asked me to say hello to you." ”

"Oh?!" Xu Guanwu couldn't help but be stunned for a moment when he heard this, then smiled and asked, "Is she okay?!" ”

"She looks good, but you're all right, right?" Xu Guanwen looked at the second brother suspiciously, "I can warn you in advance, Ah Zhi is a very good woman, you can't mess around outside and let people down." ”

Xu Guanwu hurriedly waved his hand, "Big brother, don't get me wrong, Miss Lin and I are absolutely nothing." Besides, how could I fail Ah Zhi. ”

"Forget it, you're so old, you can make your own decisions about everything, and I can't say anything about you. However, the two husbands and wives still have to live in peace, and harmony and beauty are blessings. No matter how bright the wildflowers outside are, they can't compare to the house flowers. Xu Guanwen sighed and said.

Hearing his eldest brother say this, Xu Guanwu couldn't help but think of the song "Don't Pick Wildflowers on the Roadside", then thought of the singer of this song, and then thought of the night with Teresa in a Japanese hotel. It's a pity that I was so drunk at that time that I didn't have any other impressions except for vaguely remembering some pictures. Let Xu Guanwu want to reminisce, but he doesn't know how to reminisce.

"I know it, big brother." After Xu Guanwu was stunned for a moment, he immediately nodded.

……

Later, Xu Guanwu sent people to Wanwan to buy the copyrights of those shoddy Gulong movies, and then threw them all into the film library to let them become moldy and rotten. Although a few copies cost nearly NT$10 million, which is much higher than their cost, Xu Guanwu still feels that the money is worth it.

In addition, he stuffed a sum of money to Gu Long through the Bamboo Union, and agreed that Gu Long would enjoy a box office share of about 3 percent of the Gu Long novel movies made by Xu's every year, which is regarded as the same treatment as Xu's own screenwriters, but Gu Long's 3 percent box office share is counted together with the box office of Nanyang, Wanwan, South Korea, the United States and other places, so it is an enhanced version of Xu's existing box office dividends, and the annual income will be about 15 million New Taiwan dollars, which is a considerable amount of money for Gu Long.

However, if you want to get this huge amount of money, there is also a condition, that is, the martial arts novels written after the incident, the film and television adaptation rights must be sold to Xu's first, and you are not allowed to lend your name indiscriminately. (To be continued......)
