Rebirth of the Great Entertainment Empire

…

The people who came to the United States with Xu Cun this time, in addition to the main creators of ET, there are also three special personnel - Zhong Chuhong, Mei Aifang, and Lin Zhiling.

When he came to Hollywood to film ET, Xu Cun brought almost all of his net worth, and had to spend it all. Therefore, Zhong Chuhong, the financial assistant, naturally had to come along to help Xu Cun manage the accounts.

To be honest, Zhong Chuhong didn't want to come with Xu Cun at first - she always had an instinctive defense against the lustful Xu Cun. Moreover, she was afraid of falling into Xu Cun's way in an unfamiliar place like Mei G.

But Zhong Chuhong’s family members encouraged Zhong Chuhong to come to the United States to gain more knowledge. In addition, Zhong Chuhong was also a little curious about Hollywood, which filmmakers yearn for. In addition, Xu Cun promised to do nothing to her before coming. That’s why Zhong Chuhong and Xu Cun came to the United States .

There are three reasons why Xu Cun brought Mei Aifang here:

First, Mei Aifang is doing nothing but studying finance by herself, so Xu Cun brought her to US G to relax.

Second, Xu Cun is increasingly inseparable from women, so Xu Cun can use Mei Aifang to pass the boring time.

Thirdly, and most importantly, Xu Cun clearly remembered that the Mei sisters all died of cervical cancer. Therefore, Xu Cun wanted to take Mei Aifang to have a physical examination in the United States, where medicine is the most advanced, and it would be best to give Mei Aifang a cervical cancer vaccine.

As for bringing Lin Zhiling here, it was because Xu Cun wanted to use public affairs for personal gain—on the one hand, he had to keep in touch with Lin Zhiling, his goddaughter. On the other hand, Xu Cun plans to give Lin Zhiling a role in this movie that is destined to go down in history.

Of course, Lin Zhiling didn't come here by herself, and her parents also came here for public-funded travel and vacation.

Xu Cun gambled almost all of his net worth in the filming of ET this time. If he fails, Xu Cun may have to struggle for more than ten years. So, after completing the formalities of DreamWorks (US G branch), Xu Cun started to shoot ET.

Xu Cun first brought in Stan Winston and Carlo Rambaldi, who designed the aliens in Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Zhang Shuping and Xi Zhongwen - he discussed with the four how to design ET and ET's costumes.

The prototype of ET was once produced by stylist Ed Warrox at a cost of 700,000 US dollars, but Spielberg thought it was not satisfactory, so he invited Carlo Lang, who designed aliens for The Third Kind of Contact Designed by Boddy. Xu Cun would never take this detour anyway! Therefore, Xu Cun directly invited Carlo Rambaldi to be in charge of ET, and Stan Winston assisted in the design.

In order to save time and cost, Xu Cun also told Carlo Rambaldi and Stan Winston about the ET he knew, and drew the ET prototype he saw in the movie to Carlo Rambaldi and Stan Winston. winston. In addition, Xu Cun also talked about some design ideas to Carlo Rambaldi and Stan Winston. For example:

The creature's unique retractable neck. Its face can be borrowed from the faces of poets Carl Sandberg, Albert Einstein, Hemingway and pugs. The effect of its eyeballs in the process of attracting the audience is very important, you can go to the ophthalmological society for help. ET's expressions should be rich, and Xu Cun's suggestion is to make more ET's heads. ET is forty-eight inches tall and fifty-six inches with his neck extended. etc……

In addition, Xu Cun handed over all ET costumes to Zhang Shuping and Xi Zhongwen. The idea Xu Cun gave them was to ask them to find two dwarves and a legless boy to wear them in turn for performances, and then find some audiences of different ages to vote for the ET. .

In order to save time, Xu Cun also asked Industrial Light \u0026 Magic, Stan Winston Studios, and others in the digital field to design other things including spaceships. At the same time, Xu Cun asked Jeffrey, Carlo Rambaldi, and Stan Winston to find some reliable assistants for Cui Baozhu—Xu Cun asked Cui Baozhu to start purchasing the items needed for shooting ET now.

In terms of venues, Xu Cun asked Jeff to help contact Universal Studios, and at the same time asked Jeffrey to find a few assistants to follow Tang Shuxuan to Culver City, Northridge, Tujunga, New Orleans and other places to find special venues such as jungles.

In terms of actors, apart from Lin Zhiling, Xu asked Jeffrey to help him advertise in Hollywood—he wanted to audition the main actors in ET among children aged five to fifteen.

This is not just to find suitable actors in ET, Xu Cun also has another purpose - to advertise for ET, which has increased the popularity of ET.

In terms of adult actors, such as: the mother of the children, the key officer, etc., Xu Cun asked Jeffrey to find the original actors Dee Wallace, Peter Coyote and others to play. Unable to find the original actor, Xu Cun asked Jeffrey to recommend him, and he personally interviewed.

In addition, Xu Cun asked Jeffrey to try to get some sponsorship. For example, food, toys, cars, etc. To be honest, Xu Cun does not have much hope for this - he is not well-known in Hollywood, even if the production cost of ET is 12 million US dollars, there may not be any company willing to sponsor him.

Of course, Xu Cun is not without backers - if Jeffrey does not come to sponsor, Xu Cun will pull sponsorship from Asia. Xu Cun believes that with his current fame in Asia and the gimmick of spending 12 million US dollars in Hollywood to produce ET, he will definitely be able to attract a lot of sponsors in Asia.

Also, it is impossible for actors to speak difficult medical terms naturally and fluently, so Xu Cun decided to find some real doctors to act in the scene of rescuing ET. Therefore, Jeffery had to help Xu Cun contact real medical staff.

In order to increase the mystery of ET and increase the audience's expectations for ET, Xu Cun confessed to everyone that everything about ET is the secret of the ET crew, and no one is allowed to disclose it—for this reason , Xu Cun also signed a confidentiality contract with all insiders. If anyone dares to disclose the content of ET, he will pay high liquidated damages.

For Xu Cun's orderly arrangement of everyone's work, Jeffery saw in his eyes - all of this made Jeffrey think that Xu Cun might bring him a surprise.

Therefore, although Xu Cun gave Jeffery a lot of work that did not belong to Jeffery, Jeffery still did it one by one with his heart-he wanted to see if his feeling was right or wrong?

After handing over all the work and sitting in town for a while, Xu Cun got about a week of free time.

Taking advantage of this rare free time, Xu Cun was going to do two private matters - one, to take Mei Aifang for a physical examination. The other thing is to meet He Chaoqiong at Santa Clara University.

Called Jeffrey, Tang Shuxuan, Lin Zhengying and others, had a meeting, and explained to them, Xu Cun took Mei Aifang to Santa Clara University...
