Rebirth of the Great Entertainment Empire

…

Xu Cun is a common man at heart, and in his opinion, life is nothing more than two things—career and love.

In other words, money and women.

As for women, there is another Lin Qingxia, which naturally makes Xu Cun very happy!

In terms of money, there is also good news from Xiangjiang—the account will be divided three times, and the box office of Nanyang, Japan and South Korea has already entered the account of DreamWorks.

In Nanyang, "Mr. Zombie" won a gratifying box office of 3.97 million US dollars, which was more than 29 million Hong Kong dollars, and more than 9 million Hong Kong dollars were allocated to DreamWorks.

In South Korea, "Mr. Zombie" had more than 47,000 viewers, equivalent to more than 600,000 in Hong Kong dollars, which was less than 200,000 for DreamWorks. "Mr. Zombie" also hit the streets in South Korea.

In Japan, "Mr. Zombie", like "Happy Ghost", gave Xu Cun a big surprise. It actually won a gratifying box office of 650 million yen, which is more than 20 million when converted into Hong Kong dollars. There are probably more than six million Hong Kong dollars on the Internet.

Now, only the corner of the platform remains unpainted.

So far, the box office of "Mr. Zombie" in Taiwan has exceeded 25 million Taiwan dollars, and there is still some stamina.

In Xu Cun's impression, "Mr. Zombie" was the champion of Taiwanese Chinese films in 1985, and its box office seemed to be approaching NT$50 million.

Given Taiwan's current turbulent situation, it may be unrealistic for "Mr. Zombie" to win the box office of the previous generation.

However, although the box office has dropped a lot, "Mr. Zombie" is still definitely the well-deserved box office champion of Taiwan this year so far.

Moreover, because it was released five or six years earlier, the influence of Xu Cun's "Mr. Zombie" far exceeds that of "Mr. Zombie" in the previous life.

If the box office of Taiwan Bend can reach 30 million Taiwan dollars, the overseas box office of "Mr. Zombie" will be about 56 million Hong Kong dollars, and DreamWorks will also have more than 17 million Hong Kong dollars.

Adding the 8.79 million Hong Kong dollars earned in the local area, "Mr. Zombie" probably earned Xu Cun 26 million Hong Kong dollars.

Xu Cun was even more pleased with such an achievement.

However, besides having a great time, Xu Cun is also facing an annoying matter - Shao Yifu is going to take action against DreamWorks.

Shi Nansheng approached Wang Hongbing three times to discuss the release of "The Wrong Car", but Wang Hongbing made excuses to shirk them all. Moreover, Wang Hongbing always asked Xu Cun when he would go back.

In this way, the situation is very clear - Shao Yifu wants to see him, Xu Cun, and is going to have a showdown with him.

In fact, Xu Cun has been mentally prepared for this day, otherwise he would not have allowed Shi Nansheng to sign a monthly contract with Shaw Brothers to settle the overseas box office of "Mr. Zombie".

However, Xu Cun's move is obviously to judge the heart of a gentleman with the heart of a villain-Shao Yifu did not mean to block Xu Cun's overseas box office and threaten Xu Cun.

Think about it too, what is Shao Yifu's identity, how could he ruin the Shao family's reputation for decades for such a small amount of money?

To be honest, Xu Cun really didn't want to break up with the Shaw Brothers - Xu Cun was happy to cooperate with the Shaw Brothers. Shaw's distribution ability is definitely the first in Xiangjiang, and even Golden Harvest is inferior to it. As long as he cooperates with Shaw Brothers, Xu Cun doesn't have to worry about distribution. In addition, Shaw Brothers is Shao Yifu's voice, as long as Shao Yifu is willing, Xu Cun can get the best screening time, which is beyond the reach of Jiahe.

But nine out of ten unsatisfactory things in the world, how can everything be as expected?

Fortunately, at the stage of cooperating with Shaw Brothers, Xu Cun already gained a certain reputation in Taiwan, Nanyang, Japan and South Korea by virtue of "Happy Ghost" and "Mr. Zombie", and made a lot of money.

Therefore, even if they separated from Shaw Brothers, DreamWorks would not have no living space.

...

Lin Qingxia's popularity in Taiwan is really too high - Xu Cun heard from her that this year, she has been looking for more than a dozen plays, and there are as many as six or seven of them with Qin Han and Qin Xianglin alone.

When it comes to women, Xu Cun is quite stingy! Therefore, Xu Cun killed all these plays, leaving only one "Green Blood and Yellow Flower" for Lin Qingxia.

Of course, Xu Cun, a hypocrite like Xu Cun, naturally cannot admit that he is narrow-minded. The excuse he gave was: "The acting is not good enough. In the past few years, you have acted in dozens of plays, have you ever won an award? Moreover, love There is no market for romantic dramas. Besides, our family is not short of money, so why make yourself so tired?"

Lin Qingxia is not Li Saifeng's group of inexperienced underage girls, she certainly understands why Xu Cun objected to her acting with Shuang Qin.

To be honest, in Lin Qingxia's opinion, whether it is Qin Han and Qin Xianglin, or Zhao Ning and Chen Zixing, they are all modest and gentlemen, and the same is true of her previous short-lived relationships-even if Qin Han and others don't want to see her Acting in romantic scenes with other people will also support her very gracefully.

Only Xu Cun is different. Xu Cun is not only stingy, but also a rascal, but also shameless.

This made Lin Qingxia feel both amused and strange. Coupled with Xu Cun's incomparable talent, Lin Qingxia really fell in love with Xu Cun.

Therefore, Lin Qingxia did not expose Xu Cun's petty thoughts, but followed Xu Cun's wishes and rejected all these films.

Seeing that Lin Qingxia behaved so well, Xu Cun couldn't help expressing that - after Lin Qingxia turned down the last movie, Xu Cun promised to make a movie for her next year that would allow her to completely transform.

...

In the tea house next to the Sheraton Hotel.

Xu Cun, Lin Qingxia, and Yu Kanping are discussing with two big figures in Taiwan's film industry about the distribution of DreamWorks films in Taiwan.

One of these two people is Cai Songlin.

Now Cai Songlin is only one of the shareholders of a film company called 'Scholar'. The reason why Xu Cun asked him to cooperate is that in a few years he will become the movie tycoon with the most theaters in Taiwan.

Compared with the current Cai Songlin, another person is much more powerful now, and this person is Wang Yingxiang.

At that time, New Art City, which was established only one year ago, announced the establishment of a branch in Taiwan, and hired Taiwanese director Yu Kanping as the company's administrative director.

The reason why New Arts City can expand its film business to Taiwan is actually closely related to Longxiang Film Company, which has more than ten years of distribution and production experience in Taiwan.

And the man at the helm of Longxiang is none other than Wang Yingxiang, a highly respected film dealer in the film industry.

Now, with the imminent showdown with Shao Yifu, Xu Cun naturally had to prepare early. In the Taiwan bend area, the partners Xu Cun was looking for were Cai Songlin and Wang Yingxiang. As for the administrative director of DreamWorks in Taiwan, Yu Kanping is the same as that of New Art City back then.

With the astonishing performance of "Mr. Zombie" in Taiwan, Cai Songlin and Wang Yingxiang are naturally eager to cooperate with Xu Cun.

Of course, Cai Songlin and Wang Yingxiang wanted to kick each other out and cooperate with Xu Cun alone.

However, Xu Cun would not let such a thing happen - after all, walking on two legs is the safest.
