Oprah didn't say this sentence simply, but what Xu Guanwu said really brought her a lot of inspiration.

Now the guests of talk shows in the United States are either stars in the entertainment industry, celebrities in society, or hot people in the spotlight, but there are really not too many people who invite ordinary people to do shows.

On the one hand, there are concerns that there is no point to watch, and it cannot attract the attention of the audience; On the other hand, it invites ordinary people to participate in the show, which is inconsistent with the style of talk shows. Talk shows in the United States are all programs that are acupuncture of the times, satirizing celebrities, and entertaining the audience, requiring the talk show host to be very eloquent, often gushing on stage, jokes one after another, and if you react slowly, you will miss the rhythm. If you invite an ordinary person to be a guest, I am afraid that it will disrupt the host's rhythm in less than two minutes.

And talk shows actually need to maintain a rhythm, when it should be fast, it must be very fast, just like talking about cross talk, waiting for him to finish in one breath, you can keep up with the rhythm and then laugh out loud. Ordinary people only care about making money on the show, how can they maintain a certain rhythm with the host.

However, Oprah's show rhythm is relatively slow, since she does not rely on telling jokes, not attacking guests, satirizing celebrities as the highlight, but only interviewing guests to tell stories, then the rhythm can be slow. In this way, even ordinary people participating in the show will keep up with the rhythm of her hosting, and there will be no signs of falling behind.

Moreover, her show focuses on warmth and sincerity, let us listen to your story with our hearts. So if it is an ordinary person with a story on the show, as long as the story is wonderful and interesting, it can be very popular. And compared with the chiseled stories of celebrities, it is obvious that they have been artistically processed. The stories of ordinary people are undoubtedly more primitive. There is also a touching amount of force.

Moreover, celebrities and celebrities have been reported by the media. A lot of things are said over and over again, one show here and another show again, and those stories are just those stories over and over again, so that the audience is tired of watching them, but they are not as colorful and fresh as the stories of ordinary people.

Oprah thought for a moment that inviting ordinary people to the show had so many benefits, and she couldn't help but feel a little eager to try it in her heart. Then she glanced at Xu Guanwu suspiciously, not knowing the advice he gave. Is it just a prevarication for refusing to visit, or does he really see the benefits of inviting ordinary people to the show?!

Oprah thought about it for a long time and couldn't understand it, and couldn't help but feel that Xu Guanwu was very mysterious, which made her feel the urge to find out.

……

After eating, Xu Guanwu first sent Oprah into a taxi, and then he took Hong Jingbao and the four back to the Hilton Hotel.

Seeing that after Hong Jingbao and the four of them drank wine, they had the idea of making trouble all night, Xu Guanwu hurriedly stopped him, "There will be many interviews with magazines and newspapers tomorrow." And there are so many events waiting to be attended, you must not get drunk again. Otherwise, tomorrow there will be no energy. ”

"Oh, in that case, let's go to bed early." When Hong Jingbao heard this, he immediately gave full play to the true colors of the senior brother.

In the following days, Xu Guanwu has been shuttling between major newspapers, magazines, TV stations, radio and other media with Hong Jingbao and several people, building momentum for the release of "A Plan and Lu Plan".

Because of the full assistance of the 20th Century Fox Company, and Xu Guanwu, the gold owner, wielding banknotes to open the way, the exposure of Hong Jingbao and the four of them increased greatly for a while, and they became frequent guests in newspaper pages and TV programs. Walking on the road also began to be pointed at, which made the four of them have the illusion that they have become famous.

But in fact, this momentum was exchanged for Xu Guanwu's wallet and the friendship of Fox Company, and it belonged to the rootless wanderer who was about to disperse as soon as the wind blew it. If you really want to gain a firm foothold in Hollywood, you must have excellent works as a guarantee.

On Monday, "A Scheme" officially began to be released in theaters under Lei Shidong.

Because the publicity work has been done very well in advance, and newspapers, magazines, radio, and television have covered almost all aspects of American life, so although "A Plan and Planning" is only a foreign film made in Hong Kong, it still attracts some American people to watch it, and the ticket pre-sale rate in the first two days is more than 60%.

Although it cannot be compared with the hard-to-find grand occasion in Hong Kong, compared with the records of other foreign films released in the United States, in fact, the film "A Scheme" is already a blockbuster. In fact, this is also related to the fact that the cinemas of the National Entertainment Company often screen Hong Kong films, and although the number of viewers is not too large, it is enough time to accumulate a certain audience.

In order to show the importance of this film, National Entertainment Company specially held a grand premiere in its leading theater in Los Angeles. Journalists from various media in the United States were invited to visit, and a large number of celebrities also came to cheer.

Xu Guanwu himself has a CAA brokerage company, and there are not 1,000 but 800 stars under it, so it is naturally a piece of cake to call someone to come. What's more, he also has a high reputation in Hollywood, and he can attract a large number of filmmakers with his status as a gold medal investor.

In addition, 20th Century Fox is also well-connected, and many celebrities who are invited not to participate in the event can also be invited by them, making the premiere of the movie "A Plan" definitely a grand space, with bright stars and beautiful scenery.

With so many stars as foils, Hong Jingbao and the four seem to have become very famous people for a while. In fact, this is also the usual method used by many brokerage companies to praise newcomers.

Let the newcomers attend the event with the first-line stars, even if it is just to stand and cheer, at least they can get a layout, and often put together with big stars, the level of the newcomers is undoubtedly much higher.

Of course, the key is that the newcomer must have the strength, otherwise once the company stops burning money for publicity, the strength of the newcomer is not enough to support, and the reputation will continue to fall to the bottom.

Among the celebrity friends who came to cheer, there was the famous Michael. Douglas, there is Oscar King Jack. Nicholson, with the most famous Harrison of the day. Ford...... And the most surprising thing for Xu Guanwu was Sylvester. Stallone actually came, too.

"I really didn't expect you to be able to come today." A few years later, when he saw Stallone again, Xu Guanwu felt like a world away.

Three years ago, the last time he saw Stallone. He didn't wake up from a hangover, and his whole body smelled of sour vomit. Be careful when walking with a big belly. Sluggish and without the slightest fighting spirit.

Now looking at Stallone, he is in good spirits, his small belly has disappeared, and he has returned to his previous toned figure, and his eyes are shining again, and he can see that the whole person is in very good condition.

"We're still good friends, I really went the wrong way before, I can only blame myself for being too carried away, and I can't blame anyone." Stallone said with a smile. "That's why I'm here today to say thank you. If you hadn't woken me up then, I would have drunk to death by now. ”

"Well, don't mention the past." Xu Guanwu waved his hand and said, "Come, let me introduce you to my artists." ”

Xu Guanwu said and took Stallone to Hong Jingbao and the four, "You should all know each other." ”

"Stallone?! Hello, hello. Hong Jingbao shouted in surprise, and immediately came up to shake hands with Stallone.

"He is an artist in my Hong Kong company, Sanmao." Xu Guanwu introduced with a smile. "He's also very good, you should cooperate if you have the chance."

"This is Jay. is also from Hong Kong, and his kung fu comedy is also quite good. Stallone, you should also change your acting style once in a while and develop your talent in action comedy. Xu Guanwu said with a smile, "Jie Ji will help you." ”

"This is Yuan Biao, his skills are very flexible, and he is very suitable for filming with you." Xu Guanwu introduced with a smile again.

"This is Di Wei, his skills are very good, karate, taekwondo, stick skills, knife skills, etc. are very proficient, and he is a real kung fu master with actual combat experience." Xu Guanwu said with a smile, "And you look at his muscles, how solid he is, in fact, I really want to bring him to Hollywood." ”

Stallone shook hands with these actors, and after listening to Xu Guanwu's words, he couldn't help but smile and said, "I also think these actors of yours are very good, just look at the calluses on their hands and a solid muscle, you can see how hard they usually train." I would also like to have the opportunity to perform with them. ”

"Well, that's fine, and I'd love to see you work together." Xu Guanwu smiled.

Stallone is now arguably the most well-known action superstar in the United States, and if Hong Jingbao and the others can work with him, it will definitely cause a big repercussion. And with Stallone to help stand on their feet, it is easier for them to make a name for themselves in Hollywood.

Hearing Sylvaner Stallone praise himself so much, Hong Jingbao and others were also very happy. Who doesn't know how powerful Stallone is, a "Rocky" is hundreds of millions of dollars, "Rocky 2" has won hundreds of millions of dollars at the box office, and two big-selling action movies have made Stallone gain a firm foothold in Hollywood and become a popular movie star with a salary of millions of dollars. The salary for filming a movie is thousands of times that of theirs, and it can't be said at all.

Being able to cooperate with such a big-name star is naturally something that Hong Jingbao and others can't ask for. So one and two were excited.

Soon, with the arrival of star guests, the premiere officially began, and Xu Guanwu first took the stage to speak.

In the warm applause and cheers of everyone, Xu Guanwu walked onto the stage with a smile, "Xie Lu, thank you for being here today, it really makes me feel very gratified, thank you!" ”

Xu Guanwu bowed deeply to the audience as he spoke, winning the applause of the guests.

"Today is the day of the premiere of our film "A Plan", which is a Hong Kong-made film, and it was also invested by me." Xu Guanwu smiled slightly.

There was another round of applause from the audience.

Xu Guanwu has invested in more than 20 movies in Hollywood, and each movie is a big profit, which makes people blush after watching it. And his name has now become a signboard, a guarantee of box office and word of mouth.

Therefore, "A Plan", a Hong Kong film invested by Xu Guanwu, has also received a lot of attention.

"Hong Kong is known as the Hollywood of the East in Asia, producing more than 1,000 films a year, but only a few of them are released in the United States." Xu Guanwu smiled and said, "Compared with Hollywood films, the investment in Hong Kong films is generally low, and it is not even as good as B-grade or C-grade films, but Hong Kong filmmakers have produced many wonderful movies at a low cost, and they have successively achieved high box office in East Asia." This proves that Hong Kong movies are also very good, but for various reasons, American audiences can't enjoy these good-looking movies, which I think is a very unfair thing. So I came with this "A Plan". The film was invested at $5 million, which is a small amount compared to a Hollywood blockbuster, but it is the largest film ever invested in Hong Kong. Hundreds of filmmakers have worked hard for a year and a half, and now it is finished and released, I hope you can enjoy it! (To be continued......)
