Rebirth of the Great Entertainment Empire

…

As Shao Yifu expected - now, Golden Harvest's number two man, He Yuchang, is having afternoon tea with Xu Cun at the tea restaurant of the Peninsula Hotel.

"A Cun, our Golden Harvest makes money for everyone, and Shaw Brothers makes all filmmakers work for them. Come here, we will give you the official treatment, and we will arrange the best time for your DreamWorks films to be released. Overseas distribution I will also give you the treatment of Xu's Film Industry." He Yuchang said.

Xu Guanwen is the second hero of Jiahe's ability to stand against the Shaw Brothers, and the treatment Jiahe gave Xu Cunxu Guanwen is not lacking in sincerity.

However, Xu Cunzhen has no plans to go to Golden Harvest - Golden Harvest has Xu Guanwen, Hong Jinbao, Cheng Long (currently, Cheng Long is in Luo Wei Films) and many other outstanding filmmakers, and Golden Harvest only has one theater line, good release time There are only those few Duan, and Xu Cun's ambition is not just to make movies by himself, so Jiahe, which is full of talents, is not Xu Cun's best partner at present.

Although he had already made up his mind, Xu Cun had to leave a way out for himself. So, he pretended to be hesitant, and said respectfully, "Uncle Chang, let me think about it. After all, my "Happy Ghost" is still showing in Shaw Brothers theaters."

He Yuchang is also a man of sophistication, Xu Cun's small tricks could not escape his eyes, but he did not point out Xu Cun - Shaw's big studio system simply cannot tolerate Xu Cun. He believed that Xu Cun would take the initiative to throw himself into Jiahe's embrace before long.

...

After bidding farewell to He Yuchang and returning home, Zhao Zhenqiang brought Wang Hongbing to the door.

After the two sides exchanged pleasantries for a while, Wang Hongbing expressed his intention to come.

Then, the two began to talk about the overseas distribution of "Happy Ghost" by Shaw Brothers.

Since both Xu Cun and Wang Hongbing had the desire to facilitate this matter, the negotiations between the two went very smoothly.

In the end, Xu Cun only made one 'excessive' request: "Brother Wang, I'm short of money, and I want to get the current local box office of "Happy Ghost" tomorrow."

Shao Yifu's order to Wang Hongbing is to win the overseas distribution rights of "Happy Ghost". Xu Cun's request is not too harsh, so of course Wang Hongbing will not because Xu Cun wants to get the money sooner. Little things can ruin a negotiation.

After the negotiation, Xu Cun sent Wang Hongbing and Zhao Zhenqiang away.

Then, Xu Cun asked Wen Bixia to call Luo Meiwei's home and call Luo Meiwei over—to be honest, Xu Cun really fell in love with Luo Meiwei's half-familiar body.

...

The next day, Xu Cun received 2.22 million local box office of "Happy Ghost" from the finance department of Shaw Cinemas for more than a week. Then, Xu Cun deposited the whole number in the bank and returned home with the change.

As soon as he entered the house, Xu Cun saw Dong Wei happily chatting with Zhong Fa, while Lin Zhengying and Zhong Zhen listened with smiles on their faces.

In the past few days, Lin Zhengying and the others were grinning from ear to ear every day—"Happy Ghost" was a hit, which meant that DreamWorks was about to take off. How could they, the veterans, be unhappy?

Seeing Xu Cun coming in, Lin Zhengying and the others stood up at the same time, and Dong Wei went up to meet him and took the bag from Xu Cun's hand.

After walking to the sofa and sitting down, Xu Cun cut to the chase and said, "I've called you guys over because I have a few things to tell you. First, I'm planning to shoot DreamWorks' second movie "Mr. Zombie." "

When they heard that Xu Cun was preparing to shoot a new film, several people present showed excitement, and among them Lin Zhengying was the most—because it meant that he would soon become the leading actor.

Xu Cun went on to say: "Different from "Happy Ghost", I plan to make "Mr. Zombie" into a sophisticated big production with an initial budget of 3 million."

The word "three million" was like a thunderbolt, and the four of Lin Zhengying showed shock at the same time - only two films in Hong Kong last year had a box office of more than three million in Hong Kong, and Xu Cun spent three million to shoot "Mr. Zombie". How can a few people not be shocked?

After being shocked, Zhong Zhen said directly: "Brother Cun, shall we make two more low-cost movies, and then "Mr. Zombie"? Or, let's make another "Happy Ghost"?"

Xu Cun first showed an appreciative smile to Zhong Zhen, and then explained: "The film industry is different from other industries - in the film industry, only by continuous innovation can the company continue to develop.

Of course, Ah Zhen's proposal is also good, it is a safe proposal for the old city. However, there are some things you may not know yet—yesterday, I negotiated with Shaw Brothers about overseas distribution. With Shaw Brothers' overseas distribution capabilities, our "Happy Ghost" can earn at least another 1000 to 8000000 yuan at the local box office.

Taking a step back, even if "Mr. Zombie" fails at the box office, we can afford to lose. "

Zhong Fa's eyes widened, he swallowed, and said in a dry voice, "Thousand...eight million?"

The performance of other people is not much better than Zhong Fa. The figure of 10 million is definitely extremely shocking in Xiangjiang, where the basic salary of the month is only a little over 1,000!

After a while, Lin Zhengying and the others calmed down one after another, and they no longer raised any objections to Xu Cun's desire to spend three million on the filming of "Mr. Zombie".

Seeing this, Xu Cun went on to say: "The second thing, "Mr. Zombie" has a lot of fighting scenes and a lot of characters, we can't always use outsiders, this is not conducive to the development of the company, so I want to set up Xu Jiaban. "

The establishment of the Xu family team shocked Lin Zhengying and the others. Lin Zhengying hesitated for a moment and said, "Brother Cun, can't the three of us do a little more to shoot "Mr. Zombie"? It would be very costly to raise a team, and They have to find work for them.”

"Aying, you are the leading role in this movie, and I plan to let you be the assistant director, so you can let Ah Wei do the Wuzhi part. And Ah Wei is inexperienced. I'm too busy. Besides, sooner or later, I will set up the Xu family class. So, why not set it up directly through this play." Xu Cun explained.

Hearing that Xu Cun was going to mention him as an assistant director, Lin Zhengying suddenly felt dizzy—there are only two people who have been promoted from Wu Zhi to director so far, Liu Jialiang and Hong Jinbao. Now, Xu Cun has promoted Lin Zhengying as an assistant director. Then, if DreamWorks develops smoothly, he, Lin Zhengying, is likely to be the third to be promoted from Wu Zhi to director. The question is, how can he not be stunned by happiness?

Just as dizzy as Lin Zhengying was Dong Wei—probably Xiangjiang's first movie with a box office of over 10 million, and he was the number two male. Investing in a movie worth 3 million yuan, he is Wu Zhi. With these two qualifications alone, Dong Wei's prospects are not bad. Therefore, he also fainted.

Zhong Fa was not dizzy, but he was also very happy—Lin Zhengying and Dong Wei got along well, so why not promote him as a junior? Moreover, he is also a veteran. If DreamWorks develops well, sooner or later he will be mixed up as Wu Zhi, a leading actor, or even a director.

After a while, Lin Zhengying, Dong Wei, and Zhong Fa all made a decision in their hearts: "I have to help Brother Cun find some good players, this will be more conducive to Brother Cun's development, and I can also rise with the tide..."
