Chapter 193 Innovative Cooperation Models

In the next two days, the incident of the Xu brothers on the street continued to ferment, not only on the front page of the headlines for two days, but also on TVB and Li's TV station in several episodes to report on the incident, which can be said to have made the whole city know and the people's grievances boiling.

The Black X Society has a long history in Hong Kong, and there is no one who is not angry with ordinary people.

Therefore, when I saw that Black X would burn down two theaters in a row, he also called rampantly to intimidate, and the rabbit died and the fox was sad and hurt, and they were all related.

The people's will is available, the people's grievances are boiling, and under the pressure of public opinion, the Hong Kong and British governments have to pay attention to it.

Three days later, the police announced that the perpetrators of the arson case had been arrested and brought to justice, a total of 31 people, who had previously belonged to the Yiqun Society and were under the command of Huang Jinkai, the head of the Jordan District Hall.

Later, the leader of the righteous group, Lame Hao, and his key members were swept away by the police, and Huang Jinkai was also sent to the police station by Xu Guanwu after fleeing for several months.

Xu Guanwu knew that this was just a group of substitute ghosts found by the police, Huang Jinkai had already been imprisoned years ago, if he wanted to retaliate, why did he have to wait until half a year later?

Besides, although the Black X Club flaunts righteousness, it is actually just fooling people. The truth is that no profit can not be early.

If you have money, naturally some people are willing to saddle up the horse and work for you, but what if you don't have money, even if you have the status of the rivers and lakes?

Although Huang Jinkai had a large number of younger brothers to follow before, he was the head of the Jordan District Hall at that time, and he had power and money in his hands. The group of younger brothers surrounded him just to ask for his power and money.

Now that he is just a prisoner, and the money on his body has long been squeezed out, the ghost will want to avenge him?

But although I know that this is a substitute ghost for the police to find. Xu Guanwu didn't make any more trouble. He knew about it later. The Ma brothers will definitely be silent for a while, and will not set fire to the theater again.

After all, the police have just announced that they have solved the case, and the theater over there continues to catch fire, which is tantamount to slapping the police in the face.

But not burning the theater does not mean that the Ma brothers will stop from now on, there must be other means to bring disaster to Xu Guanwu. So Xu Guanwu did not take it lightly.

……

The arson case finally came to an end with the arrest of those criminals and the sentencing of the prisoners one after another.

Afterwards, Xu Guanwu held a rally without permission. was approved by the Hong Kong Governor's Office in a way that did not name him, but fortunately, due to the boiling of public resentment, the title of Xu Guanwu JP was not cancelled. The title will be conferred by the Governor himself next month.

The compensation for the Kyoto Theater and the Imperial Palace Theater was also paid in one go, and although it will take some time to renovate, the reopening is just around the corner.

The worst thing is the tenant of the third to fifth floors of the Kyoto Theater, although the insurance company compensated a sum of money, but there is still a big gap compared to the loss.

In addition, the arsonists are all poor ghosts, even if they recover and go bankrupt, they can't squeeze out tens of thousands of Hong Kong dollars. So these merchants were angry and sued Xu Guanwu to the court. He is required to compensate for the damages.

Although Xu Guanwu felt a little wronged, he still sent a lawyer to deal with them. The parties settled out of court. Xu Guanwu exempted them from renting for one year, which was considered to have completely settled the matter.

……

When all the lawsuits were fully understood, it was already the end of June.

"Salted Fish Rebirth" was released for a month, with a box office of more than 3 million Hong Kong dollars, and it is a well-deserved summer champion. "Alluring the Country and the City" directed by Li Hanxiang ranked second, with a box office of 2.43 million Hong Kong dollars. Directed by Wu Siyuan and starring Liu Yong, "Eagle Claw Iron Cloth Shirt" had a box office of 1.9 million Hong Kong dollars, but unfortunately did not break the 2 million mark.

"A Cow Enters the City" received a total of 1.5 million Hong Kong dollars, which is already a surprise. What's even more rare is the opera film "Three Smiles of Marriage", which also has a box office of 1.2 million, whether it is a return to the glory of the opera film or a rise again, everyone can't see clearly.

However, Golden Harvest has already taken a step ahead and invited the two leading actors of "Three Laughing Marriages" Long Jiansheng and Mei Xueshi to co-star in the Cantonese opera classic "Imperial Flower" again.

The Cantonese opera "Imperial Flower" was made into a movie in the 50s, which caused a sensation in the city at that time, starring Long Jiansheng and Mei Xueshi's masters, Ren Jianhui and Bai Xuexian. In the 50s, he was played by the master, and in the 70s, he was played by the apprentice, which can be regarded as a good story in the music world.

After "Salted Fish Reborn" was released, it was replaced by Qiong Shao's new drama "The Moon is Hazy and the Bird is Hazy", which also uses the old team of "I Am a Cloud", starring Qin Xianglin and Lin Qingxia.

After the box office success of "I Am a Cloud", Qiong Shao also summarized several key points of the blockbuster, the first is to choose the most haode star. Qin Xianglin, Lin Qingxia, Qin Han and the newly rising Lin Fengjiao are collectively known as Erqin Erlin, who are second to none movie stars in Taiwan, and the films starring have all achieved excellent box office, and they are very box office appealing stars.

The second is to choose the director of Haode, the director of "The Moon is Hazy and the Bird is Hazy", Chen Yaochi is a famous film director in Taiwan, graduated from the New York branch of the University of California in the United States, and is a director from a serious class.

As soon as he debuted, he made a sensation in Taiwan's literary and art circles with a real film "Liu Bijia" full of observational documentary connotations, and is now a well-known art film director.

The third is to choose a haode propaganda strategy. Every time a new drama is released, the fourth brother Xu Guanjie must release a record before, first know the street where the theme song is sung, and then launch a new film, which has achieved a very amazing box office.

Although Qiong Shao can't release records, she is a popular writer, selling novels before making movies, and making movies while serializing them in magazines.

After everyone finished watching the serial, the movie was just released. Qiong Shao's novels can be said to be a must-read for young men and women in Taiwan, and after reading the novel and then watching the movie, so that Qiong Shao finally escaped from the quagmire of losing money.

In addition to Qiong Shao's new play, Brilliant Cinemas also released a kung fu film shot by Golden Dragon Pictures, "Ghost Horse Boxing Master Confused Apprentice", starring Lin Zhengying, Zhong Fa, Chen Huiyi, Chen Long, Meng Hi and others.

Lin Zhengying, Zhong Fa and others starred in many blockbuster films in the Xu Brothers company, although they only played supporting roles. But there are more appearances. There was also a certain popularity.

Golden Dragon Pictures' ghostly comedy kung fu films have become popular recently. I also want to follow the trend and shoot one. But the star actors couldn't afford to be invited, so they had to invite some second-tier actors with familiar faces to fill the number.

Two months ago, I found a superstar manager company, and Xu Guanwu saw their invitation, so he borrowed the cooperation model of CAA broker company.

The superstar manager company packages and provides the story, script, actors, lighting, photography, etc., if it weren't for the fact that Golden Dragon Pictures insisted on using its own director, Xu Guanwu would have prepared it for him. This whole set of crew members was packed and sent out, and the drama has not officially started filming. has already earned 250,000 Hong Kong dollars.

Despite such a large sum of money, Golden Dragon Pictures was happy. Because it was a leather bag company in its own right, there was nothing but the owner and a few staff members.

If it is allowed to build a crew by itself, the owner borrows a lighting artist, and the west family borrows a makeup artist, and it may not be able to build it after tossing for a few months, and at the same time, the money cannot be spent.

Now it only costs a sum of money, and people have prepared a full set of crews, and they are very much in line with its heart. Needless to say, how much time will be saved, the most important thing is that it is cheap.

If you set up such a crew by yourself. Because there are not so many contacts, and it is a one-time transaction, people naturally ask for a high price, and they can't solve the problem without spending three or four hundred thousand.

And because the personnel are borrowed from all over the place, it is naturally impossible to have tacit cooperation, so there must be stumbling in the shooting. Now it only takes more than 200,000 to get it all done, and the crew belongs to the same company, I don't know how many times they have cooperated, and they have a certain tacit understanding with each other, and the start of construction is naturally smooth and smooth.

What's even more rare is that after using the full set of personnel of the superstar manager company, you don't even have to worry about the schedule of this movie.

As we all know, the most rare thing for independent production companies is not to shoot movies, but to release their own films without a schedule.

Hong Kong now has a total of six cinema chains, the Shuangnan Cinema Line with a mainland background, the Art Art Cinema Line which specializes in art films, and the Anle Cinema Line, which only shows Western films, as well as the three largest cinema chains of Shaw Brothers, Golden Harvest and Hui's Brothers.

Shaw Brothers only screens Shaw Brothers' own films, while Golden Harvest also screens films from other production companies, but the popular schedule is still reserved for its own films.

The schedule assigned by the independent production company is either the box office off-season, or the schedule is ultra-short, and the screening will be completed in a week or ten days. In this way, even if the movie is very well made, it is difficult to have a very high box office.

But because Xu Guanwu has a multiplex theater and can release multiple movies at the same time, he naturally doesn't have to worry about the schedule. When Xu Guanwu cooperated with Golden Dragon Pictures, he specially added the schedule to the contract, promising to arrange a haode schedule for the film, and if the box office results are satisfactory, the release time will be extended, etc., which gave Golden Dragon Pictures a big relief.

Golden Dragon Pictures is naturally very happy, with only eighty percent of the previous budget, the film can be filmed, and there is no need to worry about the schedule.

It is equivalent to saying that he only made a sum of money, and then waited to make money, what a happy thing.

Xu Guanwu is also very happy, this cooperation with Golden Dragon Pictures does not digest the company's remaining idle resources, not to mention the training of its own talents, but also fills its own theater chain, the most important thing is to make a steady profit without losing money.

Provide the crew to make their own money, and they will also earn a share of the box office when they are released in the future.

After two months of filming, this "Ghost Horse Boxer's Confused Apprentice" was finally completed, and the follow-up production such as editing, printing, recording and copying was also undertaken by Xu's Brothers Company, and there was another entry.

The advertising after the movie is also in charge of Xu Guanwu, which is another amount of money.

From the preparation of the crew at the beginning of the film, the selection of actors, to the shooting in the middle, the post-production and publicity, it was basically handled by Xu's single-handedly, and the money was collected throughout the whole process.

This also shows that the power of Xu Guanwu's original film and television empire is slowly emerging. (To be continued......)

PS: The group has been announced for a month, and there is one person in the group who joins the group, which is really embarrassing!

=。 =!

……

There are also two brothers who voted for the monthly ticket, which is really touching!

Sincerely, xiexie!
