Rebirth of the Great Entertainment Empire

…

In Xu Cun's office.

Seeing Xu Cun, whose appearance had hardly changed from five years ago, Wu Yusen was filled with emotion!

Five years ago, it was when Wu Yusen was at his most high-spirited - that year, his "Fan Qian Han" won the runner-up in the annual box office of Hong Kong Films with a box office of 5 million Hong Kong dollars, so he became the most famous new director in Hong Kong that year. . What makes him most proud is that Xu Cun, the first person in the Xiangjiang film and television industry, was his assistant director at that time!

In the years after that, he directed "Hello, Homecoming at Night", "The Great Devil and Little Sister", "The Hero", and "Funny Times", all of which have also achieved good box office sales. These films became Hong Kong's first-class directors.

However-

Flowers are not red for a hundred days, and people are not good for a thousand days.

In 1982, he was commissioned to shoot "Eight-colored Lin Yazhen" for Jiahe to fight against the "Small Lives" of Xinyicheng, but he lost nearly 9 million Hong Kong dollars at the box office.

When filming "Heroes Without Tears" the following year, he used live ammunition to cause an actor to be shot.

In addition, Jiahe knew that he directed the first work "Funny Times" after the establishment of Xinyicheng in the name of Wu Shangfei.

All these made his "Heroes Without Tears" and him have been frozen by Jiahe.

Later, at the beginning of this year, he joined Xinyicheng again. He thought he had a film to shoot in Xinyicheng, but he didn't expect that he would be exiled to Taiwan by Xinyicheng, where he spent all day in "Two Tigers", Spinning around in out-of-the-ordinary market comedies like "The Laugher".

In this way, he has become a famous box-office poison, and some people even persuade him to retire, and some even let him go home and watch the video tapes to see how other people make movies.

Under such circumstances, he was desperate and finally lowered his proud head and asked Xu Cun, who had been with him, to be on the head.

Honestly -

Wu Yusen would never have come to beg Xu Cun if he hadn't been cornered - as long as he thought of the scene when he nodded and bowed to Xu Cun who had bowed his head to him, he couldn't help but back down.

But it is better to nod and bow to Xu Cun than to just sink in, right?

So, Wu Yusen came to Xu Cun.

…

He personally poured a glass of water for Wu Yusen, and then Xu Cun looked at Wu Yusen and said, "Director Wu, do you know how long I've been waiting for you?"

Hearing Xu Cun's inexplicable words, Wu Yusen was startled! Immediately, Wu Yusen looked at Xu Cun with some puzzlement!

Xu Cun stretched out a finger and said, "One year, a whole year, when I directed "The Color of a Hero" at the end of last year, I was thinking, if Director Wu was at DreamWorks, I wouldn't have to direct "The Color of a Hero" myself."

Xu Cun's words made Wu Yusen's heart warm - "The True Color of Heroes" is the only film in Hong Kong with a box office of more than 40 million Hong Kong dollars so far, and it is also the highest-grossing film in Hong Kong so far, and it is also known as the best Hong Kong movie. Movie. Xu Cun said, 'If Director Wu was at DreamWorks, I wouldn't have to direct The True Color of a Hero myself. ', obviously saying that he, Wu Yusen, can also direct the movie "The True Color of Heroes". This is definitely a very high praise for a Hong Kong director! In addition, Xu Cun said these words at this time, which also shows that Xu Cun intended to accept him Wu Yusen. How can this not make Wu Yusen, who has already been dubbed the "box office poison", feel hot?

Therefore, Wu Yusen, who took the water that Xu Cun handed over, hesitated for a while, then stood up from his seat, bowed to Xu Cun and said, "Mr. Xu, please give me a bowl of rice to eat!"

Seeing Wu Yusen like this, Xu Cun quickly walked over to Wu Yusen and pressed Wu Yusen back to his seat, and said at the same time, "If you didn't have Director Wu and you gave Xu Cun a chance, I wouldn't necessarily be where I am today. I am!"

After Wu Yusen sat down, Xu Cun sat down again and said, "I won't say nonsense, Director Wu, come here, DreamWorks will open the sequel to "The True Color of Heroes", and you will be the sequel to "The True Color of Heroes" Director, you and DreamWorks writers co-created the script for the sequel to The Color of Heroes, and you choose the crew and cast. All in all, you are solely responsible for the sequel to The Color of Heroes.”

As soon as Xu Cun's words came out, Wu Yusen said subconsciously, "I am solely responsible for the sequel to "The True Color of Heroes"?"

Xu Cun looked at Wu Yusen and said, "Am I not clear enough just now?"

Wu Yusen hurriedly shook his head and said, "No! No! It's just that "The True Color of Heroes" is a movie that Mr. Xu directed by you..."

Xu Cun interrupted Wu Yusen with a smile: "I have a very bad habit, I don't like directing movies of the same type, and I have a lot of things to do, it's getting harder and harder to direct a movie with peace of mind, so I still put my Spend your limited time exploring new genres of movies."

After listening to what Xu Cun said, Wu Yusen was overjoyed, and at the same time, he couldn't help but admire Xu Cun who was committed to innovation. Now, Wu Yusen finally knows why Xu Cun was able to direct "Happy Ghost" and "Mr. Zombie". "," Royal Sister", "ET", "Home Alone", "Ghosts", "God of Gamblers", "The True Color of Heroes", "Back to the Future" and these excellent movies.

…

DreamWorks Cinemas and Shuangnan Cinemas are each other's backup cinemas, which has both advantages and disadvantages for DreamWorks.

Take the release of "Back to the Future" this time as an example: without the support of Shuangnan Cinema, "Back to the Future" could not have achieved a box office of more than 36 million Hong Kong dollars in Hong Kong, nor could "The Owl and Xiaofei". "The Elephant" and "Merry Christmas" were firmly underfoot.

but-

DreamWorks can't use Shuangnan Cinemas for nothing - during the Christmas period, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com Shuangnan Cinemas screened "Back to the Future" without reservation. In return, in the New Year's Eve, DreamWorks theaters have to show Yindu's "Shaolin Kid". That is to say, DreamWorks has to withdraw from this year's Lunar New Year fight and stand in the auditorium to watch the three kingdoms battle for hegemony among Jiahe, Xinyicheng, and Yindu.

For DreamWorks, this will definitely bring certain losses - DreamWorks is not without good movies. Mr. Zombie 3, produced by Lin Zhengying at a cost of 40 million Hong Kong dollars, is fully qualified to compete with "Best Partner Queen's Secret Order" and "Shaolin Kid". ” and “Teppanyaki” are a showdown, and they are also qualified to gain a matching reputation in the Lunar New Year, and then go overseas to attract money, but because there is no theater, “Mr. Zombie 3” will not be able to play in this golden period. .

This is also one of the reasons why Xu Cun wanted to buy Shaw Brothers Cinemas - even if DreamWorks Cinemas has half a Shaw Brothers Cinemas, Xu Cun does not need to borrow theaters from Shuangnan Cinemas, nor does he need to stand in the Lunar New Year stall. It was fun to watch.

but-

It does not mean that DreamWorks really has nothing to do with the great New Year's Eve. With the full cooperation of the governments of all parts of the mainland, DreamWorks' 25 movie theaters in the mainland can already be put into use. In other words, during the Spring Festival, "Dao Ma Dan" and "ET" can be released in the mainland.
