Rebirth of the Great Entertainment Empire

…

Although Debao's real pioneering work is Owl and Dumbo, Owl and Dumbo is Baohe's signature. Therefore, in the eyes of outsiders, Debao's entrepreneurial work is the upcoming Brave Double Cannon.

Xu Cun has never been a big-bellied person who repays hatred with kindness—on the contrary, Xu Cun can definitely be regarded as a villain who must revenge, especially for rivals and traitors!

Therefore, Xu Cun is going to use Mr. Zombie 3 and Terminator to strangle The Brave Double Cannon together, so that Debao will die before he is ready.

To be fair, The Brave Double Cannon can be regarded as a very good Hong Kong movie, but it is not as good as Mr. Compared with the Terminator directed by him, it is not only one or two points worse.

certainly!

The high and low box office of a movie sometimes depends not only on the movie itself, but also on the promotion and theaters.

Publicity.

Xu Cun doesn't believe that Pan Disheng can advertise himself as owning Phoenix TV!

Therefore, even if Pan Disheng spends 10 million Hong Kong dollars to promote The Brave Double Cannon, the momentum of The Brave Double Cannon will never be as big as Mr. Zombie 3 and Terminator.

In terms of theaters.

Pan Disheng plans to jointly screen The Brave Double Cannon in Golden Harvest Cinemas, Shaw Brothers Cinemas and his own four theaters.

But after learning about this, Xu Cun called Zou Wenhuai directly, expressly saying that he would exchange a favor for Golden Harvest Cinemas not to screen The Brave Double Cannon.

Honestly--

Xu Cun's phone call made Zou Wenhuai very embarrassed - Zou Wenhuai had already agreed to Pan Disheng, more precisely, he had already agreed to Hong Jinbao, and Golden Harvest Cinemas had a joint screening of The Brave Double Cannon. Now, rejecting Pan Disheng and Hong Jinbao before the battle will inevitably make Hong Jinbao feel bad. On the other hand, Zou Wenhuai, who is committed to developing in Hollywood, also hopes to get a favor from Xu Cun, who is well-versed in Hollywood!

After some thinking, Zou Wenhuai decided to only give The Brave Double Cannon five theaters, and made this matter and his difficulties to Xu Cun and Hong Jinbao respectively.

Regarding Zou Wenhuai's sudden change of mind, Hong Jinbao was naturally very unhappy at first—not to mention that Hong Jinbao is also a well-known figure in the Hong Kong film industry, but only that he has made great contributions to Golden Harvest over the years, and Zou Wenhuai was not happy either. He should be so proud of Hong Jinbao.

but--

This was just Hong Jinbao's thoughts before hearing the reason why Zou Wenhuai did this.

After Hong Jinbao knew that Zou Wenhuai did this because Xu Cun traded favors with him, although Hong Jinbao was still angry, Hong Jinbao had already understood Zou Wenhuai—now, Xu Cun was definitely in the Xiangjiang entertainment circle. The first person, Shao Yifu, Zou Wenhuai, and Lei Juekun, who used to be comparable to Xu Cun, have now been compared to Xu Cun. Moreover, Xu Cun is not only the number one person in the Xiangjiang entertainment circle, Xu Cun also controls many resources closely related to movies such as theaters, artists, film and television studios, equipment, distribution channels, and video tape distribution channels. Who would want Yun to offend Xu Cun who has such strength? Who wouldn't want to have such a powerful Xu Cun's favor?

Xu Cun can also understand Zou Wenhuai's difficulties. Moreover, Zou Wenhuai only screened The Brave Double Cannon for Pan Disheng's five theaters, which is enough for Pan Disheng, who has only four theaters, to drink a pot! Therefore, Xu Cun admitted that he owed Zou Wenhuai a favor.

Golden Harvest Cinemas has been resolved, leaving only Shaw Cinemas.

Shaw Cinemas is easier to handle——Xu Cun decided to buy Shaw Cinemas now, even if it costs 30 to 50 million Hong Kong dollars, he will buy Shaw Cinemas now.

Is it worth Xu Cun's troubles for a small Debao?

The answer is yes - worth it!

Even if Pan Disheng and Xu Cun snatch Yang Ziqiong aside, if Pan Disheng dares to make Cen Jianxun the general manager of Debao, Xu Cun must block Debao!

This is not only related to Xu Cun's face, but also a problem of preventing the passing of time - if Cen Jianxun can still enjoy himself in the Xiangjiang film and television circle under the circumstances that Xu Cunming banned Cen Jianxun, then where is Xu Cun's majesty? Will there be a second, third, or even the Nth Cen Jianxun who will stand up and sweep Xu Cun's face or make trouble for Xu Cun?

...

Peninsula Hotel Tea Restaurant.

It's still the same position as the last two times.

Xu Cun and Shao Yifu sat facing each other for the third time.

Shao Yifu greeted Xu Cun and said, What would you like to drink?

Xu Cun smiled and said, I can do it myself, Sixth Uncle.

Afterwards, Xu Cun said to the waiter at the door, Give me a cup of milk tea, two pork chop buns, a bowl of barbecued pork rice, and half a roast goose.

After ordering, Xu Cun smiled and explained to Shao Yifu: I haven't had dinner yet.

Shao Yifu recalled: I remember, the last two times we drank tea here, you didn't eat dinner, and you ordered these things. Why, are you still so nostalgic?

Xu Cun smiled and said, Once I like something, I won't change it easily.

Shao Yifu said meaningfully: People who miss the past usually remember gratitude, I remember you said that.

Xu Cun nodded and admitted: Well, I said this, and I have always done it this way.

Shao Yifu said leisurely: When you had nothing, I helped you release Happy Ghost and Mr. Zombie to make you the first pot of gold. Is it considered a kindness to you?

Xu Cun didn't speak - he neither admitted nor denied.

Seeing that Xu Cun didn't mean to answer his words, Shao Yifu said leisurely again: The fire in the Phoenix Building has nothing to do with me.

Xu Cun said without blushing and heartbeat: The fire in TVB City has nothing to do with me.

After Xu Cun finished speaking, Shao Yifu's face twitched obviously!

Taking a deep breath, Shao Yifu said, You were the one who poached hundreds of people from TVB by Phoenix TV, right?

Xu Cun made an excuse and said, TVB first poached the host of the Spring Festival Gala, He Shouxin, on the day Phoenix TV held the Spring Festival Gala.

Shao Yifu glanced at Xu Cun and said: Just after Phoenix TV started, Ms. Liang poached Liu Tianci, Shi Shaoming, Lu Guozhan, Ye Jiexin, Lin Xuhua, Wei Jiahui, Zhao Zhenqiang, Shen Dianxia, ​​Zheng Shaoqiu, Huang Rihua, He Shouxin from TVB. .”

Seeing that Shao Yifu mentioned Zhou Liangshuyi's poaching from TVB first, Xu Cun immediately wanted to counterattack with the fact that Shao Yifu poached Lin Dai from Lu Yuntao in the early years.

But before Xu Cun could fight back, Shao Yifu sighed and said, Forget it, don't waste any more time on this matter. Then, Shao Yifu looked at Xu Cun and said, A Cun, I will transfer the two Shao's theaters. How about selling it to you for 100 million Hong Kong dollars?

Xu Cuncai didn't believe that Shao Yifu, an iron rooster, took the initiative to lower the price of Shaw Cinemas so low that there would be no other conditions!

Therefore, Xu Cun said bluntly: Sixth Uncle, let me tell you about your old additional conditions.
