Rebirth of the Great Entertainment Empire

Thank you, girl, do you still remember me, Jun Xiucai is waiting for fellow Taoist rewards, thank you! ! ! Not much to say, the first update is only temporary, and the second update will be resumed when there are recommendations.

…

Li An in 1979 was not the famous Chinese director, he was just a young man who had just obtained a bachelor's degree in theater directing from the University of Illinois.

Like the choice of most filmmakers with dreams in the United States, Li An went to Hollywood to find a job as soon as he got his degree certificate.

Unfortunately, Li An failed to find a suitable job for several months.

This result was far from what Li An had imagined before, and it poured a lot of cold water on his hot dreams!

However, in the face of such a situation, Li An did not admit defeat. He continued to look for a job while studying - he made up his mind that if he really couldn't find a suitable job, he would apply for the Institute of Film Production at New York University.

this day……

Li An, who had just been rejected by a film company, bought a newspaper on the side of the road as usual - he was going to continue looking for a job.

Unfolding the newspaper, a piece of recruitment news attracted Li An's attention - a film company called DreamWorks wanted to recruit a director assistant who could speak Chinese.

Unlike most Europeans and Americans, Li An, who lives in Taiwan, knows that there is a DreamWorks film company in Asia, but he is not sure whether the DreamWorks mentioned in the newspaper is Xu Cun's DreamWorks.

But whether it was true or not, Li An felt that the choreographer assistant DreamWorks wanted to recruit was tailor-made for him.

So, putting down the newspaper, Li An immediately rushed to Glendale...

...

Making movies in Hollywood is much more difficult than Xu Cun imagined, especially under the premise that he is not well-known in Hollywood-many things are different from what Xu Cun imagined before he came to Hollywood. For example:

Xu Cun wanted to recruit 300 to 500 children to audition for ET actors, but the result was that the total number of children who signed up was less than 100, and this still depends on whether the salary given by DreamWorks is other movies. The company tripled its face. Fortunately, Xu found the original stars of ET among these children, Henry Thomas, Drew Barrymore, and Robert McNaughton. Xu Cun could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Xu Cun assigned an interpreter to each of the important crew members he brought in Xiangjiang, but they still couldn't communicate smoothly with Hollywood personnel.

Also, people in Hollywood looked down on Xu Cun and his group of orientals, and made trouble for Xu Cun and them everywhere—several times, Chen Xunqi and others had physical conflicts with people in Hollywood.

One trouble after another, and Xu Cun had to solve everything in person, which made Xu Cun feel overwhelmed when the filming of ET just started.

He Chaoqiong, who played with Xu Cunlai on the crew, couldn't help but feel distressed when he saw Xu Cun who had to do everything by himself. Therefore, He Chaoqiong took the initiative to help Xu Cun coordinate the order of the set.

It's a pity that He Chaoqiong didn't play a big role, and she was verbally molested by a young white ensemble performer.

Xu Cun's Ni Lin is his woman, and these beauties really angered Xu Cun! Therefore, under Xu Cun's instruction, Lin Zhengying, Chen Xunqi and other Xiangjiang personnel from the crew beat the white youth to serious injury.

This incident caused a lot of trouble. Lin Zhengying and more than 20 people were all taken to the police station for accountability. This incident almost turned into a diplomatic incident.

Later, Jeffrey asked someone to mediate, and Xu Cun compensated the young white swarm performer with US$350,000 to completely resolve the matter.

Afterwards, Xu Cun dismissed all those thorns, and doubled the wages of actors and extras who performed well (for this reason, Xu Cun also compensated those actors and extras who were dismissed by him under the interference of the US G trade union. Quite a lot of salary.), coupled with the deterrence of force that injured the white youth this time, Xu Cun was considered to have the absolute right to speak in the ET crew.

To be honest, as a reborn person, Xu Cun also felt infinitely suffocated when dealing with this group of beauties, but he couldn't help it. There is a saying that a man can stretch and shrink, ah no, he can bend and stretch— ——Xu Cun has always only paid attention to the result. He always believes that no matter how beautiful the process is, it is not as important as the result! Therefore, in order to finish the filming of ET smoothly, use ET to make money from American Gies, and use ET to make money from people all over the world, Xu Cun must endure this tone!

ET just started filming, and the special effects team and Yankees used up two or three million US dollars. In addition, Xu Cun invested another one million US dollars to establish DreamWorks (US G branch), Xu Cun's financial assistant Zhong Chuhong couldn't help but Worried about Xu Cun - she was very worried about whether Xu Cun, who dared to be the first, would have the funds to support Xu Cun's successful filming of ET, and she was also worried that Xu Cun's myth would be shattered.

Therefore, unconsciously, Zhong Chuhong began to care about Xu Cun, who had become a little haggard due to combing the crew—the relationship between the two was also closer than before.

Different from Zhong Chuhong's uncertainty, according to the series of recent events, Xu Cun has judged that the 70 million Hong Kong dollars he brought from Xiangjiang is not enough for him to finish filming ET.

Fortunately, Shi Nansheng brought Xu Cun 300 million yen and five high-end Mitsubishi cars from his old partner Mitsubishi Motors, and 120 million yen toy sponsorship from Japan's TAKARA company. Fury landed an $800,000 candy sponsorship from Hershey Foods. In this way, Xu Cun gained more than 2.6 million US dollars, which is nearly 20 million Hong Kong dollars.

And the overseas box office of Fuxing Gaozhao has also come out.

In the Nanyang area, Lucky Stars earned a box office of 6.9 million US dollars, which is more than 51 million Hong Kong dollars.

In Japan, Fuxing Gaozhao won the box office of 1.85 billion yen, which is nearly 60 million in Hong Kong dollars.

In South Korea, Lucky Stars had 520,000 moviegoers, equivalent to over 6.2 million Hong Kong dollars.

Adding the 26.44 million Hong Kong dollars in Hong Kong and the 62.3 million Taiwan dollars in Taiwan, the total box office of Fuxing Gaozhao is 156 million Hong Kong dollars.

Excluding theaters, cinema chains, distribution fees and other expenses, DreamWorks and Golden Harvest can share a total of nearly 50 million Hong Kong dollars.

The shooting cost of Lucky Stars was 17 million Hong Kong dollars, and the promotional cost was 2.2 million Hong Kong dollars.

That is to say, up to now, Lucky Stars has earned more than 30 million Hong Kong dollars for the producers DreamWorks and Golden Harvest.

After 21 was added to 5, Lucky Stars made a profit of 15 million Hong Kong dollars for DreamWorks.

According to the copyright fee agreed between Xu Cun and He Yuchang, Xu Cun can still get 25 million Hong Kong dollars.

In total, Lucky Stars made Xu Cun earn 40 million Hong Kong dollars.

In addition, Zou Wenhuai also brought Fuxing Gaozhao to Hollywood, Xu Cun may be able to share some production fees, but he can no longer control Jiahe's copyright fees (this was agreed between Xu Cun and He Yuchang at the time) ).

Adding everything together, Xu Cun pooled another 60 million Hong Kong dollars, plus the original 70 million Hong Kong dollars, for the filming of ET, Xu Cun prepared a total of 130 million Hong Kong dollars.

The money should be enough for Xu Cun to shoot ET. However, the money is almost all of Xu Cun's net worth. Therefore, this time it can really be said that Xu Cun will be benevolent if he fails.
