"The best film in the drama category, the shortlisted are "Rocky", "The Godfather 2", "Chinatown", and "Burning Skyscraper". The award presenter introduced.

Xu Guanwu noticed that the lens of a camera was quickly aimed at him, and quickly straightened up and posed as if he was sitting upright.

"The winner is, "The Godfather 2." The award presenters shouted loudly.

The audience immediately burst into warm applause, and Xu Guanwu also smiled and applauded together.

"Ah Wu, don't be sad, we'll come back next time." Zhao Yazhi comforted.

Xu Guanwu smiled and nodded, "Well, next time I will definitely go back with a trophy." ”

……

After the award ceremony, the organizers of the Golden Globe Awards also specially prepared a grand dinner for today's guests, and also prepared a mystery gift bag for each person, packed in a delicate gift bag.

"Although I didn't win the award, with these gifts, this Golden Globe Award is not in vain." Xu Guanwu teased with a smile.

Zhao Yazhi saw that her husband's mood didn't look very bad, and she couldn't help but relax, "What kind of gifts do you think there will be?"

"It's best if it's cash." Xu Guanwu said with a smile, "It's so heavy, if it's in cash, it's at least hundreds of thousands of dollars." ”

"Money junkies! How could it be cash, in my opinion, jewelry or commemorative clothing is more reliable. Zhao Yazhi guessed with a smile.

"Don't guess, it's so troublesome. When you arrive at the hotel, you can take it apart and take a look. Xu Guanwu said with a smile.

"Stanley, it's a pity that I didn't win the award. In fact, the movie "Rocky" is really good. At this time, Richard came over and comforted.

Xu Guanwu smiled, "It's okay, although "Rocky" didn't win the award, I think "Jaws" will win it back for me next year." ”

"Yes, "Jaws" is really well filmed, and it has the ability to impact the Oscars." Richard also smirked, "By the way, Stanley, there's something I want to talk to you about." ”

"What, is it important?" Xu Guanwu saw that Richard's expression was a little serious, and he couldn't help but ask suspiciously.

"It's a very important thing." Richard nodded.

"Alright then, Azhi, you go get something to eat first, I'll talk to Richard, and I'll be back soon." Xu Guanwu nodded.

……

Dragged into the corner by Richard, Xu Guanwu was full of doubts, "What the hell is going on, seeing how serious you look?" He couldn't help but ask.

"Well, I have a little proposal here......" Richard's face turned ugly, and he was silent for a while, before finally speaking, "Can this film be distributed by 20th Century Fox?" ”

"20th Century Fox?" Xu Guanwu couldn't help but be stunned, "Weishenme? ”

"20th Century Fox's current chairman, Darryl. Zanuk is my father," Richard explains, "and things are really bad for Fox right now, a lot of the films that I invested in were losing money, and my dad is now being blamed by the board. The movie Jaws is a very good movie, and I am sure it will be a blockbuster. ”

"You mean, if it's released by 20th Century Fox, if it's a box office success, it will relieve the pressure on your father, right?" Xu Guanwu asked.

Richard nodded, although he knew that his thoughts were more selfish, but for the sake of his father, he still bravely brought it up.

After listening to Richard's proposal, Xu Guanwu originally wanted to refuse.

This is not when he released "Rocky" last year, because there was no distributor, he was almost stuck.

Now he has established a cooperative relationship with Lei Shidong, a producer and a theater company, and he can distribute this film independently. But if you add a publisher in the middle, you will be forced to give up a large share.

But after thinking about it again, Xu Guanwu couldn't make up his mind again.

Although he is now cooperating with Lei Shidong, Xu Guanwu does not fully trust him.

Various events in later generations have shown that Lei Shidong is a person with a strong desire for power, and it is difficult for even his own children to share power from him.

Xu Guanwu is an outsider, not to mention.

Now the cooperation is close, also because Xu Guanwu can bring him profits, and at the same time, it will not affect his power.

But if Xu Guanwu invests in National Entertainment and becomes one of the shareholders, and challenges Lei Shidong's position in the company's decision-making in the future, then Lei Shidong will definitely not hesitate to turn his face with Xu Guanwu.

"Do you want to buy yourself a double insurance, it seems that it is good to sell 20th Century Fox, and there will be a place where it can be used in the future." Xu Guanwu couldn't help but think.

While Hollywood studios are profit-driven, they also value stable alliances.

In the 80s, "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles", which Golden Harvest invested and filmed, was handed over to the newly established New Line Film Company for distribution when no one was distributed.

As a result, "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" grossed more than $200 million, and New Line Pictures was able to make a lot of money. Later, he helped Golden Harvest release a number of films, and also brought Cheng Long from Hong Kong to the United States.

This is a typical reciprocation.

And 20th Century Fox also has a lot of potential for development in the future, and establishing contact with them now will also facilitate further cooperation in the future.

Thinking of this, Xu Guanwu nodded and told Richard to let him think about it first.

If the conditions offered by 20th Century Fox were good, he would still be willing to make this friend.

……

After the Golden Globe Dinner, Xu Guanwu and Zhao Yazhi returned to the hotel.

As soon as he entered the room, Xu Guanwu couldn't wait to open the gift bag.

"Money fan, you have so much money, do you still covet these little gifts?" Zhao Yazhi couldn't help but smile when she saw his rushing look.

"No matter how little money is, I am not afraid of being small, no matter how much money I have, I am not afraid of more, making money is to accumulate sand into a tower, gather armpits into fur, and calculate every penny clearly." Xu Guanwu said seriously, and then opened the gift bag, and saw that there were several gift boxes inside.

When you open it, you can see watches, brooches, silk underwear, small bottles of red wine, chocolates, and more.

"Except for this watch and the diamond brooch, which are worth two dollars, nothing else is worth anything." Xu Guanwu pouted.

"No, I think this underwear is very good, it feels good." Zhao Yazhi said happily.

"Well, I feel good too, try it on, okay?" Xu Guanwu saw his wife pick up her underwear and gesture on her body, and couldn't help but smile shyly.

Zhao Yazhi blushed, dropped her underwear, and ignored him, "The day after tomorrow is the Academy Awards ceremony, if you don't win the award again, how will you explain when you go back?" ”

"How can you explain, the plan is in the people, and the success is in the sky, who guarantees that you will win the lottery? If you can nominate it, you will already be Amitabha. Xu Guanwu said with a smile, "I've been in the United States for two days, and I don't know how Selena poached Jihua." ”

"Make a call and ask, it's not like there is no ocean phone." Zhao Yazhi said with a smile.

"It's still my wife's smartness, I'll call you." Xu Guanwu hurriedly jumped up from the bed.

The time difference between the United States and Hong Kong is 12 hours, and it is midnight in the United States, but Hong Kong is now a sunny day.

As soon as Xu Guanwu's phone called, he immediately answered it, "Second brother, how is it, did you win the award?" Xu Guanying's voice came from the phone.

"Nope." Xu Guan Wudao.

"Woo! It's a shame. Xu Guanying said.

There was also the sound of someone sighing next to him.
