"Mr. Xu, you don't know this, although the Ma brothers and I are both under the banner of 14K, but in fact, the 14K community, because of the severe crackdown of the British government in Hong Kong a few years ago, all the leading hall owners were deported, and now the remaining halls in Hong Kong have long been independent, not subordinate to each other, and they are also fighting with each other." Chen Huimin explained.

"Before, 14K was the largest gang in Hong Kong, but now it has long lagged behind Hutchison and New Ngee An." Chen Huimin sighed and said, "Brother Ma and I belong to different halls, because the names of the halls are all based on words, so they are also called 'word piles'. ”

"That is to say, you and the Ma brothers have no solidarity, but they may still be rivals?" Xu Guanwu said with a frown.

originally thought that Chen Huimin and the Ma brothers belonged to 14K, and they could also use the righteousness of the same family to mediate one or two, but I didn't expect the relationship to be so complicated.

"Mr. Xu, did you have a holiday with the Ma brothers recently?" Chen Huimin asked in surprise, "Impossible, although these two brothers are big drug lords, they have always been cautious and cautious, and they pay attention to not being public, doing things in a low-key manner, and being high-profile, how can they provoke you?" ”

"Isn't it the "Daily Daily", he has a few big advertisers who have voted for me." Xu Guanwu explained, "In addition, newspaper sales have been affected, so they have been working against me recently. ”

"I see, no wonder." Chen Huimin clapped her hands and said, "Mr. Xu, are you asking me to help make peace?" ”

"Well, I'd rather give those advertisers back to him, and everyone will do business according to the rules in the future, and each will learn his own law." Xu Guanwu said.

"Well, it's not impossible, but I'm going to ask my boss to come out. They are still in touch with the older generation, and they save some face for each other, unlike these small ones at the bottom, who fight for the slightest bit of oil and water. Chen Huimin said.

"Okay, then thank you very much, I'm waiting for your good news." Xu Guanwu said with a smile.

Chen Huimin nodded, got up and walked out.

……

Just when Chen Huimin was busy trusting relationships, finding a way, and establishing contact with the Ma brothers, the lively summer file came.

The main movie of the summer file of the Xu Brothers Company is Hong Jingbao's "Salted Fish Rebirth", which is also the second collaboration between Mai Jia and Hong Jingbao, and the previous "Tiger Field Chicken" cooperated by the two exceeded 2 million at the box office, which was very popular.

This "Salted Fish Rebirth" is also a farce story of two people teaming up to break into the rivers and lakes, which is better than the witty story and trendy bridges, but the defeat is due to the many hard flaws in the plot, the plot is absurd, just want to laugh, don't dig deeper.

Mai Jia and Hong Jingbao can also be regarded as fast knife players, this movie just started in March, and it will be released in June.

In comparison, Cheng Long's "Drunken Fist" has been filmed since the New Year, and it has been more than four months now, and there is no intention of finishing it. On the one hand, this shows that Cheng Long is strict with himself, and on the other hand, it also shows that Mai Jia, Hong Jingbao and others are more suitable for commercial film operations.

In his previous life, Hong Jingbao set up two film and television companies at the same time, Baohe and Debao, and good films were frequently released, and one person held up two large film and television companies, which is unprecedented in the Hong Kong film industry, and it is estimated that there is no one to come.

At that time, everyone was called a big brother, and Cheng Long was just a big brother.

Xu Guanwu originally wanted to use Cheng Long's "Drunken Fist" as the main hit of the summer file, and "Salted Fish Rebirth" was left for release in the Christmas schedule, who knew that "Drunken Fist", which should have been filmed, was not filmed, but "Salted Fish Reborn" was completed early.

I had no choice but to let "Salted Fish Rebirth" top this schedule first, "Daily Daily. Entertainment Edition" published a large number of advertisements, the leading actors, directors took photos and interviews, and large color photos were obvious.

The brilliant cinema window TV also looped the wonderful scenes of "Salted Fish Reborn" funny and martial arts, attracting passers-by to watch.

Speaking of this window TV, it's simply amazing, and the publicity effect is first-class. Not only movie clips can be played, but also song MVs and TV commercials can also be played.

In the past six months, I can't help but attract a large number of audiences to watch movies in the theater, and at the same time, I have also sold a lot of advertising slots, and the cost of the previous investment has been recovered early.

Moreover, this window advertising model, because it is simple and easy, has also been learned by some luxury stores, clothing stores, and household appliance stores, and there are also models of placing TVs in the window and broadcasting product advertisements in the store to attract passers-by.

For a while, it became a new fashion for shopping in Hong Kong, and even Japan, the United States, the United Kingdom and other countries hurriedly learned it. Later, it became one of the classic cases of marketing.

"Salted Fish Rebirth" sold movie tickets for the midnight show three days in advance, and because of the effective effect of the publicity, all those movie tickets were sold out in half a day, and the sales were gratifying.

Brilliant leading cinema line, midnight show, Xu Guanwu and Hong Jingbao arrived at the theater early.

Looking at the noisy crowd outside, Xu Guanwu couldn't help laughing and said, "See, people will come when they see your Sanmao name." This shows that after Sanmao has made a few blockbuster movies, you already have box office appeal. ”

"It's not all Mr. Xu, your promotion." Hong Jingbao said with a smile, "There is also a good job of company publicity, otherwise I would still be just a dragon and tiger martial artist." ”

"Don't be so modest, being too modest is pride." Xu Guanwu smiled, "It's gold, it will shine wherever you throw it." Without my promotion, you can become a talent, but sooner or later. ”

Hong Jingbao listened, scratched his head, and laughed.

"Stanley, I'm reading the newspaper, and I really want the "Jaws" you invested in is about to be released." Mai Jia said on the side.

Xu Guanwu nodded, "You also pay attention to the trends in Hollywood?" ”

"Of course, after all, that is the pinnacle of shijie movies, as long as there are ideal filmmakers, who doesn't want to climb it?" Mai Jia laughed. He grew up in the United States since he was a child, and he behaves like an American, he doesn't pay attention to so many hierarchical concepts, and he is very relaxed in front of Xu Guanwu.

"If you were really given the opportunity, would you go to Hollywood to develop?" Xu Guanwu asked with a smile.

"Of course you go, it's a fool not to go." Mai Jia exclaimed, "What, is Mr. Xu going to send me to Hollywood to make a film?" ”

"Not yet," Xu Guanwu waved his hand, "Now is not the best time to enter the United States, wait another four or five years, and wait for me to buy one of the eight major Hollywood film companies." When the time comes, everyone can go to Hollywood to develop. ”

"Poof!" Hong Jingbao, who was drinking water on the side, heard this and immediately squirted out the water in his mouth.

Mai Jia is not as excited as Hong Jingbao on the side, he has been in Hollywood before, and he has also been the assistant director of "007: The Golden Gun", and he also has some understanding of the economic situation of the eight major Hollywood film companies.

I know that although the shelves of those film and television companies are still there, the inner bag has been hollowed, and now it is just a hundred-legged insect that is dead but not stiff.

Based on the fact that the boss Xu Guanwu earns 100 million US dollars a year, it really only takes four to five years to buy one of the eight major Hollywood film companies.

"Mr. Xu, don't scare me, it's really fake? Buying Hollywood? Hong Jingbao asked with wide eyes.

Now Hong Kong filmmakers want nothing more than to sell the film to Hollywood, Mr. Xu is so good that he wants to buy Hollywood directly!

Xu Guanwu smiled, "Sanmao, don't be so surprised, Hollywood is not as good as you think." Do you know what my nickname for going to Hollywood is? ”

"What is it?" Hong Jingbao asked.

"Chinese broadie." Xu Guanwu said with a smile, "In recent years, Hollywood in the United States has dropped sharply at the box office due to the impact of television, and several of the eight major Hollywood film companies are now on the verge of bankruptcy. So you don't think they have a lot of money, in fact, as long as they have a few hundred million dollars, they can start the acquisition. And they're eager to sell it to you. ”

"Hundreds of millions of dollars?!" Hong Jingbao swallowed hard, if there are hundreds of millions of dollars, what kind of film company will the ghost buy, and wouldn't it be more profitable to use it for other businesses?

"Okay, let's stop talking, the film will start soon, are you ready to be tested by the audience?" Xu Guanwu asked loudly.

"Ready!" Several of the main actors of "Salted Fish Reborn" shouted together with the director.

"Then let's go and hear what the audience has to say." Xu Guanwu said with a smile, taking the lead and leading everyone into the theater.
