The three people who drank the juice with the mysterious powder all fell asleep groggily and were not woken up by the flight attendants until the plane landed in Hong Kong.

When Xu Guanwu woke up to find that he had returned to Hong Kong, he couldn't help but be surprised, he didn't remember how he fell asleep, and he felt as if he had had a long dream.

Zhong Chuhong was also a little surprised after waking up, she was quite excited every time she took a plane, not to mention that she couldn't even bear to read a book when she went to sleep, she didn't expect to sleep so comfortably this time. If it weren't for the fact that her clothes were intact, she would have wondered if someone had given her anesthetics.

After Guan Zhilin woke up, her face was full of chagrin, and she cursed in a low voice, "Liar, damn liar, what do you say Spanish flies, once you drink it, your lust will explode immediately, but it turns out to be just sleeping pills." Swindler! ”

Xu Guanwu couldn't help frowning when he heard her muttering on the side, "What's the matter, what are you talking about?" ”

"Oh, it's nothing, it's nothing...... Guan Zhilin said, "Mr. Xu, Miss Zhong, let's get off the plane." ”

Xu Guanwu nodded, "Miss Zhong, don't forget what I told you before. ”

Zhong Chuhong smiled, "Don't worry, Mr. Xu, I have a sense of proportion." ”

"That's good." Xu Guanwu nodded and got off the plane with the two of them.

"You go home first, and I'll call you when I have time." Xu Guanwu said to Guan Zhilin.

Although Guan Zhilin was a little reluctant, since Xu Guanwu said so, she had to take a taxi home first. As for whether the TV station will punish her for missing for two days for no reason, Guan Zhilin doesn't care in her heart.

……

Xu Guanwu returned home by car. And he saw that the house was still empty. Chiu Ya-chi and Lam Ching-xia still live on Lantau Island and have not returned.

Xu Guanwu didn't dare to expect them to forgive him soon. At the moment, he had to get used to living alone, which was not very difficult for him, after all, he had been alone for thirty years before. It's just that Xiao Sichen and Xiao Simo, a pair of children, are not around, which makes him very worried in his heart.

"Did you call back after your wife left?" Xu Guanwu asked.

"Not yet." The servant replied.

"Oh, okay, you guys go get busy." Xu Guanwu waved his hand and picked up the newspaper on the table, wanting to see what happened in Hong Kong in the two days he went to France.

Flipping through the newspaper headlines, I saw that "Liu's fraud case has been concluded." Set a record for sky-high compensation. Liu's wife was sentenced to seven years in prison. ”

Xu Guanwu couldn't help but feel a move in his heart, he didn't expect that the case would be judged quickly, probably because of the pressure exerted by the US consulate. The newspaper said that Liu was going to pay the amount agreed in the contract to Steve. Wanda paid $20 million in compensation, and Bao Yongqin was also sentenced to seven years in prison for huge commercial fraud.

This verdict is not unserious, and sure enough, the following news said that Liu did not agree with this verdict and vowed to continue to sue even if he sued London.

Some media are also playing up the matter, believing that the punishment is so heavy because the Hong Kong government is under pressure from the United States. This verdict was strongly intervened by outside forces. It is therefore a very unfair verdict.

Of course, some people believe that the facts of Liu's fraud case are clear. The evidence is overwhelming, and it has had a pretty bad impact. There was no doubt about the court's decision. Those who violate commercial contracts should indeed be severely punished by the law.

After Xu Guanwu read it, he couldn't help but smile, he didn't care how the media ate dog, he just wanted the Liu family to disappear in Hong Kong from now on. Since they're going to sue London, let them go. If this kind of lawsuit is fought for a few years, he can hold it up, but the Liu family may be bankrupt because of the high litigation costs and lawyer fees.

……

flipped through the report of Liu's fraud case, and then looked at the entertainment version, but saw that Xu Anhua's "Hit the Positive" has been officially released, and it seems that the box office on the first day is not bad. It is estimated that this time Teddy Robin can make a lot of money again.

was released at the same time as Xu Anhua's "Hit the Positive", as well as "The First Type of Danger" produced by Siyuan Film Company and distributed by Golden Harvest Film Company.

This film is directed again by emerging director Xu Ke and tells the story of juvenile delinquency. Because the subject matter is too dark and full of many violent scenes, when it was sent for inspection at the electrical inspection office, it was almost treated as a banned film.

Later, Xu Ke took back the editing and deleted a large number of violent scenes before the film could finally be released. However, looking at the introduction in the newspaper, although the reputation of this film is not bad, it is still a little crazy in the end. It has been criticized by many Hong Kong citizens, and its performance at the box office is not ideal.

Xu Guanwu saw the film review and knew that Xu Ke was probably going to be unlucky again this time, if the three consecutive films were not blockbusters, then Xu Ke's directorial career would probably come to an end. Any company makes movies to make money, although Xu Ke's movies have a good reputation, but if the box office fails, the film company will be so depressed that it vomits blood.

……

Now Wu Siyuan is so depressed that he is about to vomit blood, "The First Type of Danger" is a movie he has high hopes for, and it is also Xu Ke's dream of turning over. But first, the review of the power transmission inspection office was almost killed, and it was finally re-edited and released, but it was criticized by the outside world.

Wu Siyuan is speechless to Xu Ke now, telling him not to shoot such a dark subject, but he just doesn't listen. Determined to go his own way, he was in trouble this time. The box office on the first day of release was only 200,000, and this film was shot with 800,000. It will take at least two weeks to barely recover the cost.

But Wu Siyuan now faintly heard that some civic groups have protested to the Hong Kong government, applying for a ban on perverse films like "Danger of the First Kind" so as not to have a bad impact on Hong Kong youth. If the Hong Kong government really adopts the advice of civic groups, then "Danger of the First Kind" will not only not be released in Hong Kong, but even the rights to take out will not be possible.

Because Hong Kong's film censorship system is still relatively relaxed, if the film is banned in Hong Kong, it will be difficult to release it in other countries.

So Wu Siyuan asked someone to help him intercede with the Hong Kong government, and at the same time asked Zou Wenhuai to help send the film to the United States. American films have long been classified. As a result, some large-scale movies can also be released in specific theaters. Since it can be released, it is better than being banned and left in the warehouse to fall into dust.

However, Zou Wenhuai actually has some difficulties. In the last two years, he has partnered with New Line Films in the United States. Released some Hong Kong films to be released in theaters under the new line. Although most of the box office is hundreds of thousands to 100,000 US dollars, it also adds up to a lot of revenue for Golden Harvest every year.

But now the new line film company is in trouble, this company started by developing American college theaters, because it is facing energetic young people, so low-budget horror films are more popular, and it is also the magic weapon that the new line company relied on to start.

Low-budget horror films are not mainstream in Hollywood, and are usually produced by small studios and then distributed by New Line Films. Other big Hollywood distribution companies. I don't care about the release of such a low-budget horror film at all. In this way, the new line film company can enjoy a relatively large bargaining power and can occupy a higher share of the box office.

But since Xu Guanwu began to invest in small-budget horror films, the advantages of small profits in horror films have immediately become apparent, and they have attracted the interest of many Hollywood distribution companies. So they also joined the ranks of releasing horror films.

It usually costs less than a million dollars to make a low-budget horror film in the United States, and if it is released, such as "Moonlight Panic" and "Friday the 13th", the box office is likely to reach tens of millions of dollars. Compared to an investment of less than a million dollars, it's like picking up money for nothing.

At a time when many distribution companies are beginning to compete for the horror film market, the market share of New Line Film Company is naturally being compressed. Every horror film was released before. New Line Pictures may use $500,000 or $700,000 to buy it out. But now it's costing more than a million dollars. Increased costs lead to increased operational pressures.

Although there are some horror films that have achieved maddeningly sky-high box office prices. But in fact, there are many more horror films that are just barely holding on to their capital. But when people are blushed by the high box office of horror films such as "Moonlight Panic" and "Friday the 13th", people will subconsciously choose to ignore those loss-making horror films.

For a while, horror films that may be a blockbuster or a horror film that are unlikely to be a blockbuster have been robbed, and in order to maintain the company's operation, New Line Company had to join the ranks of looting, and therefore bought some movies that did not hit the market.

In the first two years, the New Line Film Company made a profit of tens of millions of dollars, but last year, the New Line Film Company lost money for the first time, although it only lost tens of thousands of dollars, but it was a very bad sign for the company.

And because the new line film company has fallen into a decline in the distribution of films, the cooperation with Hong Kong Golden Harvest has naturally been in crisis. The attendance rate of Golden Harvest's films on the new line is not very high, mainly because Lei Shidong's National Entertainment Company is also distributing Hong Kong films on a large scale, and Hong Kong films can now be seen on TV.

China Dragon Channel, the monthly rent is less than 12 US dollars, and you can enjoy good-looking and wonderful Hong Kong movies all day long. Xu's Hong Kong films have high investment, big scenes, and wonderful stories, which are much better than those old-fashioned kung fu films of Golden Harvest. People can enjoy higher quality movies at home, and who is going to go to the cinema and queue up for tickets?!

Last year, Golden Harvest delivered 30 films to New Line Films, with an average of two and a half films per month. But this year, it's already March, and only two movies have been delivered, and sales have dropped significantly.

So when he heard Wu Siyuan's request for help, Zou Wenhuai also said that he couldn't do anything and couldn't help Wu Siyuan at all. This made Wu Siyuan feel even more lost. To be honest, the United States is already his last hope, if he can't even enter the market over there, once the government really orders the ban on this movie, his 800,000 yuan investment will definitely not be recovered.

……

Unlike Wu Siyuan's depression, Guan Zhilin felt very happy. accompanied Xu Guanwu to Paris, although because of Zhong Chuhong's light bulb, she didn't go shopping once. However, she still received several small gifts from Xu Guanwu, such as JOY's perfume, a cute and small crystal duck, and a Hamilton diamond watch, each of which is worth a lot of money.

Thinking that she could go to France to play again, and she had received so many valuable gifts, and what she paid was just a night of debauchery, Guan Zhilin felt that she had really made a fortune.

"SISTER ROSA, WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN, WHY ARE YOU ONLY COMING BACK NOW? The producers and directors in the station are looking for you everywhere. Li Saifeng couldn't help but ask in surprise when he saw Guan Zhilin coming back triumphantly.

"You don't believe it, I accompanied Mr. Xu to France. Look, these are the little gifts he bought for me. Guan Zhilin said in the same way.

Li Saifeng couldn't help but die of jealousy when he saw it, "Oh my God, he's so good to you." Look at this watch, it's all set with diamonds, it's so eye-catching. ”

"Naturally, it's diamonds, twenty carats in total." Guan Zhilin said with a smile.

"Wow, I really envy you." Li Saifeng's eyes were full of little stars, "But, what about the TV station?" ”

"I'll let him die!" Guan Zhilin said disdainfully. (To be continued......)
