end of november.

Seven Days of Love, which caused quite a stir, is finally released.

This small production with a production cost of only more than three million Hong Kong dollars actually won an astonishing box office of 22.6 million Hong Kong dollars.

As soon as this achievement came out, those who knew the creative process of Seven Days of Love couldn't help but feel infinitely sorry for the original director and screenwriter of Seven Days of Love Zhang Jianyan!

Seven Days of Wrong Love was originally a movie planned by Zhang Jianyan for nearly two years, and Zhang Jianyan, who has a relationship with Tang Shuxuan as a teacher and apprentice, has already got the director position of Seven Days of Wrong Love, and even Zhang Jianyan has already completed Seven Days of Love The filming of Wrong Seven Days of Love.

But because of his firm political views, Zhang Jianyan left DreamWorks in a rage.

Although Seven Days of Love was created by Zhang Jianyan, all its copyrights belong to the financing party - DreamWorks.

Therefore, on the second day Zhang Jianyan left, Xu Cun appointed Gao Zhisen to take over Seven Days of Love, and gave Gao Zhisen the green light, so that Gao Zhisen could rest assured to film Seven Days of Love .

Gao Zhisen knew that with Xu Cun's current status, it was absolutely impossible for him to care about a small production with a production cost of only three or four million. What Xu Cun really cared about was DreamWorks, or Xu Cun's own face, so Gao Zhisen Never let DreamWorks and Xu Cun lose face.

With this understanding, Gao Zhisen did his best in the movie Seven Days of Love!

After the filming of Seven Days of Love, the distribution department of DreamWorks launched a big advertisement for Seven Days of Love, and its publicity was no less than the big productions that DreamWorks has always released.

It is precisely because of this that Seven Days of Love became a dark horse among Xiangjiang movies in 1983. Its box office performance in Hong Kong's local port even surpassed Golden Harvest's Project A, second only to New Art City's The best partner shows his talents.

As the director of the movie Seven Days of Love, Gao Zhisen not only received a big red envelope of one million Hong Kong dollars from Xu Cun, but also entered the ranks of first-class directors at once. In terms of this time, it can definitely be called a double gain of fame and fortune. Most importantly, Gao Zhisen also won the affirmation and favor of Xu Cun!

On the other hand, Zhang Jianyan's name is not written in the screenwriter column of Wrong Seven Days of Love, but the second screenwriting team of DreamWorks. team leader. Secondly, although the script of Seven Days of Wrong Love was mainly created by Zhang Jianyan, there are also lines filled by the screenwriters of the second screenwriting team of DreamWorks for Seven Days of Wrong Love. Therefore, it is no problem to write DreamWorks second screenwriter team in the screenwriter column.

but--

In this way, Zhang Jianyan's contribution and even traces in the movie Seven Days of Love were all obliterated by DreamWorks.

In other words, Zhang Jianyan, who left DreamWorks, only has the qualifications left to be the screenwriter of the two films The Story of Hu Yue and Father and Son Love.

And Hu Yue's Story and Father and Son Love, which were supposed to shine in the first Hong Kong Film Awards, were all defeated by Sword Horse Dan, so that Zhang Jianyan failed to win the first award like his previous life. Best screenplay at the Hong Kong Film Awards.

Therefore, Zhang Jianyan, who is not well-known and banned by Xu Cun, is having a hard time recently-feared by Xu Cun's ban order, most of the film companies in Xiangjiang dare not use Zhang Jianyan. Later, Zhang Jianyan managed to sneak into the Shaw Brothers who was not afraid of Xu Cun. As a result, just as Zhang Jianyan was gearing up to flex his muscles, Shaw suddenly cut production again. And there are so many old people in Shaw Brothers. Under such a situation of greatly reduced production, how can it be possible to give Zhang Jianyan a chance who is not obvious and has troubles?

Therefore, Zhang Jianyan, who was supposed to be as dazzling as a shining red star, quickly disappeared after leaving DreamWorks...

...

For Zhang Jianyan, a small person, there are those who flatter him or want to use Zhang Jianyan's shoulders to help Xu Cun step on him. Therefore, Xu Cun didn't need to pay attention to Zhang Jianyan himself.

What Xu Cun needs to pay attention to personally are things that can affect the overall situation of DreamWorks. For example: Back to the Future release.

Back to the Future is not only related to the box office of hundreds of millions of dollars, but also related to the development plan of DreamWorks Studios.

Therefore, Xu Cun spared no effort in the promotion of Back to the Future. A number of channels also broadcast the one-and-a-half-minute-long Back to the Future trailer twice a day during prime time.

Not only in Hong Kong, but also in other regions, the promotion of Back to the Future is unprecedented!

In order to increase the promotion of Back to the Future in Europe and the United States, and to repay the 70 million dollars that Universal Pictures lent him, Xu Cun made a big concession when signing the box office sharing contract with Universal Pictures— —In the end, Xu Cun only paid 27% of the box office share, and Xu Cun also paid half of the promotional fees for Back to the Future in Europe and America.

In Japan, Kadokawa Films and Shochiku Films have made great efforts in publicity, and in order to show that they value the Japanese market, and to satisfy the extreme sense of honor of the Japanese—the first stop of the promotional team of Back to the Future was set in Japan. , and all the main creators of Back to the Future, including Xu Cun and Back to the Future star Michael J. Fox, participated in the promotion in Japan. By the way, this is also the only time that the main creative team of Back to the Future participated in the promotion.

Nanyang's publicity efforts are not small-due to Shaw's production reduction and the serious decline in the quality of Shaw's films, Nanyang Shaw had to directly contact DreamWorks because there were no good films to be released in Nanyang. Therefore, at present, the films of DreamWorks are still co-screened by Shaw Brothers and Cathay Pacific in the Nanyang region. And Xu Cun's reputation has always been the guarantee of the box office. Therefore, knowing that Xu Cun, who has not directed a movie himself for a year, spent more than 50 million US dollars to direct the big production Back to the Future (more than half of which was invested in the Back to the Future theme amusement park In terms of the construction of Back to the Future, this part of the money was also included in the production fee of Back to the Future.), Nanyang Shaw Brothers and Cathay Pacific all started to make a lot of publicity, hoping to make a lot of money from Back to the Future .

All in all, the promotion of Back to the Future is in place. As for whether Back to the Future can achieve even more brilliant results than the previous life, we will have to wait until Christmas to find out.
