He got married tomorrow in the same bed at the university. He helped him blow up the balloon during the day. He came back a little late. That chapter will have to be tomorrow morning, sorry! ! !

end of November.

"The Misunderstanding of the Seven Days of Love", which caused a lot of trouble, was finally drawn.

This small production with a production cost of only more than 3 million Hong Kong dollars actually won an astonishing box office of 22.6 million Hong Kong dollars.

As soon as this achievement came out, those who knew the creation process of "The Mistaken Seven Days of Love" couldn't help but feel infinite pity for Zhang Jianyan, the original director and screenwriter of "The Mistaken Seven Days of Love"!

"The Mistaken Seven Days of Love" was originally a movie planned by Zhang Jianyan for nearly two years, and Zhang Jianyan, who has a relationship with Tang Shuxuan, has already obtained the director position of "The Wrong Seven Days of Love", and even Zhang Jianyan has already done " The preparations for the filming of "Seven Days of Love".

But because of his firm political position, Zhang Jianyan left DreamWorks in a rage.

Although "The Misunderstanding of the Seven Days" was created by Zhang Jianyan, all the copyrights belong to the fund-raising party, DreamWorks.

Therefore, on the second day of Zhang Jianyan's departure, Xu Cun appointed Gao Zhisen to take over "The Wrong Seven Days of Love", and gave Gao Zhisen the green light, so that Gao Zhisen could rest assured to shoot "The Wrong Seven Days of Love" .

Gao Zhisen knew that with Xu Cun's status today, he could never care about a small production with a production cost of three or four million. What Xu Cun really cared about was DreamWorks and Xu Cun's own face, so he Gao Zhisen Never let DreamWorks and Xu Cun lose face.

With this understanding, Gao Zhisen did his best in the movie "The Seven Days of Love"!

After the filming of "The Wrong 7 Days of Love" was finished, the DreamWorks distribution department advertised "The Wrong 7 Days of Love", and its publicity was not inferior to the big productions that DreamWorks has always released.

It is precisely because of this that "The Wrong Seven Days of Love" has become a dark horse in Hong Kong movies in 1983. Its box office performance in Hong Kong's main port even surpassed Jiahe's "Plan A", second only to Xinyicheng's. "The Best Partner Shows His Ability".

As the director of the film "The Seven Days of Love", Gao Zhisen not only got a big red envelope of one million Hong Kong dollars that Xu Cun gave him, but also entered the ranks of first-class directors at once - to Gao Zhisen In terms of this, it can definitely be called fame and fortune. Most importantly, Gao Zhisen also won Xu Cun's affirmation and favor!

On the other hand, the screenwriter column of "The Wrong Seven Days of Love" is not Zhang Jianyan's name, but the second screenwriting team of DreamWorks. First of all, Zhang Jianyan was the deputy of the second screenwriting team of DreamWorks before leaving DreamWorks. group leader. Secondly, although the script of "The Wrong Seven Days of Love" was created by Zhang Jianyan, there are also some lines filled in by a group of screenwriters from the second screenwriter group of DreamWorks for "The Wrong Seven Days of Love". Therefore, it's no problem to write about DreamWorks Second Screenwriting Team in the screenwriter column.

but--

In this way, Zhang Jianyan's contribution and even traces in the movie "The Wrong Seven Days of Love" were all wiped out by DreamWorks.

In other words, Zhang Jianyan, who went out from DreamWorks, has only the qualifications left to have served as the screenwriter of the two films "The Story of Hu Yue" and "Father and Son".

And "Hu Yue's Story" and "Father-Son Love", which were supposed to shine at the first Hong Kong Golden Statue Awards, were all beaten down by "Knife Horse Dancing", so that Zhang Jianyan failed to win the first session like the previous one. Best Screenplay at the Hong Kong Film Awards.

Therefore, Zhang Jianyan, who is not well-known now and has been banned by Xu Cun, has been having a hard time recently - most of the film companies in Xiangjiang dare not use Zhang Jianyan because of Xu Cun's ban. Later, Zhang Jianyan managed to infiltrate the Shaw Brothers who were not afraid of Xu Cun. As a result, just as Zhang Jianyan was gearing up to show off his skills, Shaw Brothers suddenly cut production again. And there are so many old people in Shaw Brothers, how can Zhang Jianyan, who is still in trouble, be given a chance under the circumstances of such a huge reduction in production?

So, Zhang Jianyan, who was supposed to be as dazzling as a shining red star, soon disappeared after leaving DreamWorks...

...

For Zhang Jianyan, a small person, there are those who are swaying or want to use Zhang Jianyan's shoulders to help Xu Cun step on him. Therefore, Xu Cun does not need to pay attention to Zhang Jianyan in person.

What Xu Cun needs to pay attention to personally is what can affect the overall situation of DreamWorks. For example: the release of "Back to the Future".

"Back to the Future" is not only related to the box office of hundreds of millions of dollars, but also related to the development plan of DreamWorks Studios.

Therefore, in the promotion of "Back to the Future", Xu Cun spared no effort - not only did Xu Cun spend 5 million Hong Kong dollars to advertise "Back to the Future" in the golden pages of major newspapers in Hong Kong, Phoenix TV Channels also broadcast the one-and-a-half-minute "Back to the Future" clip twice daily during prime time.

Not only in Xiangjiang, but also in other regions, the propaganda of "Back to the Future" is unprecedented!

In order to increase the promotion of "Back to the Future" in Europe and the United States, and in order to repay the $70 million loan from Universal Pictures, Xu Cun made a big concession when he signed a box office sharing contract with Universal Pictures— -In the end, Xu Cun only took 27% of the box office share, and Xu Cun also paid half of the promotional expenses for "Back to the Future" in Europe and the United States.

In Japan~www.wuxiamtl.com~ Kadokawa and Shochiku's publicity is very strong, and in order to show that they attach importance to the Japanese market, and to satisfy the Japanese's extreme sense of honor - "Back to the Future" is the first in the publicity team The station is set in Japan, and all the main creators of "Back to the Future", including Xu Cun and "Back to the Future" star Michael J. Fox, participated in the promotion in Japan. By the way, this is also the only time the main creative team of "Back to the Future" has participated in the promotion.

Nanyang's publicity efforts are not small - due to Shaw's reduction in production and the serious decline in the quality of Shaw's films, Nanyang Shaw's had to directly connect with DreamWorks because no good films were released. Therefore, at present, DreamWorks movies are still jointly screened by Shaw Brothers and Cathay Pacific in the Nanyang region. And Xu Cun's reputation has always been the guarantee of the box office. Therefore, I learned that Xu Cun, who had not directed the film for a year, spent more than 50 million US dollars to direct the big production of "Back to the Future" (more than half of which was invested in the "Back to the Future" theme amusement park. In terms of the construction of "Back to the Future", this part of the money was also included in the production cost of "Back to the Future".), Nanyang Shaw Brothers and Cathay Pacific all began to publicize, hoping to make a lot of money with "Back to the Future" .

All in all, the promotion of "Back to the Future" is in place. As for whether "Back to the Future" can achieve even more brilliant results than the previous life, we will have to wait until Christmas to know.
