Rebirth of the Great Entertainment Empire

…

Because the Korean film My Sassy Girlfriend directed by Xu Cun has caused a brutal storm, the Japanese film Love Letter also directed by Xu Cun has attracted widespread attention before it is released, which in turn leads to Love Letter once it is released. Just in Hong Kong, it achieved an average attendance rate of 97% on the first day and a box office of 2.72 million on the first day, and this is not a big deal. The truly abnormal results of Love Letter came from Japan—— ——The box office of Love Letter in Japan on the first day was as high as 170 million yen (equivalent to more than 1.3 million US dollars). According to the current trend, the final box office of Love Letter will not reach 10 billion days Yuan, there will be at least 8 billion yen. If the currency appreciation is also included, Love Letter is likely to become the overall champion of the Japanese box office!

Love Letter is not only as good as My Sassy Girl, but its reputation is not inferior to My Sassy Girl. In the eyes of those filmmakers and film critics who pay attention to art, Love Letter which pays more attention to art is even better than My Sassy Girl. On top of the business-heavy My Sassy Girl!

Without a doubt, Love Letter is the best movie I've seen in recent years, even compared to the good movie My Sassy Girl I saw two days ago. However, what I want to talk about today is not Love Letter is not My Sassy Girl, but Mr. Xu Cunxu, the director of Love Letter and My Sassy Girl.

The author and Mr. Xu began to get acquainted in 1979, a youth comedy Happy Ghost without connotation, which made the author notice Mr. Xu for the first time.

To be honest, although Happy Ghost achieved good results at the time, I didn't think Mr. Xu was so great at that time. At that time, I thought he just found a film path that the audience liked.

But later Mr. Zombie, Fuxing Gaozhao, and Royal Senior Sister subverted the author's perception of Mr. Xu time and time again.

And the speed of Mr. Xu's progress is even beyond the author's imagination-in 1981, when the author was expecting that Mr. Xu could make any good Chinese-language movies, Mr. Xu unexpectedly Conquered Hollywood Filmed a film ET in Hollywood that is still the world's top box office to date.

After that, Mr. Xu successively filmed Sword and Horse, The Little Ghost, Ghost Love, God of Gamblers, The True Colors of Heroes, Back to the Future, Tang Bohu Spots Xiangjiang and so on. It was also a blockbuster film and won the title of 'World's No. 1 Director'.

In this regard, the author has been silent, because the author feels that Mr. Xu at that time was the best, but calling Mr. Xu the world's number one director is actually a bit too high.

It wasn't until the appearance of The Matrix that the author felt that Mr. Xu had the appearance of The World's No. 1 Director, but the author still didn't say anything at that time.

Today, Mr. Xu has produced two good films with local characteristics Love Letter and My Sassy Girl at the same time. The author can't help shouting loudly: Mr. The identity is well-deserved!

The author is very fortunate to have known Mr. Xu and witnessed Mr. Xu's film career!

but--

People are rarely satisfied, and the author is not exempt.

The author wants to say to Mr. Xu: Mr. Xu, you have enough money, come back, return to the film industry to continue your greatness, continue your glory, and return to us audiences who really like you!

——Film Biweekly Chen Bosen.

As soon as Chen Bosen's article came out, Xu Cun's reputation hit a new high!

but--

At the same time, this article also caused a lot of trouble.

One of them was the months-long debate over Which is better, Love Letter or My Sassy Girl? And most of them are female fans, including famous female writers such as Yi Shu, Lin Yanni, and Qiong Yao.

In addition, there is another trouble that a group of boring people actually launched the activity of Please return Mr. Xu to the film industry, and the momentum was quite huge.

Later, Xu Cun, who really didn't want to attract attention because of this kind of thing, asked Li Ting to publish a sentence I have never left! Say hello and ask them to stop publishing related stories.

Some people may ask, can Li Ting, a 17-year-old girl who has just entered the industry, say hello to her colleagues to suppress relevant reports?

The answer is... yes, very much!

Just when Love Letter and My Sassy Girlfriend were hitting theaters in Asia, Li Ting did a feat that stunned his peers in the newspaper industry——Li Ting published Sheng Bao in a very short period of time. , Sin Chew Daily, Sing Tao Daily, Sing Tao Evening News, English Standard, New Modern Pictorial have all been acquired, becoming a new generation of 'Queen of Newspapers'!

Although this result shocked people in the newspaper industry, it was nothing compared to the process!

Li Ting first bought Sing Pao, which is currently only worth more than 700 million Hong Kong dollars, from He Wenfa and his son at a super high price of 900 million Hong Kong dollars, and kept it secret.

Immediately afterwards, with the help of Huang Yulang, Li Ting took it from them at a price that the other shareholders of the two companies in Sing Tao Newspaper Group and Paramount Group, except for Hu Xian and Zheng Jinghan, could not refuse. Bought a large part of the shares of Sing Tao Press Group and Paramount Group.

At the same time, Li Ting and Xu Cun also borrowed two acquisition teams to sweep the stocks of Sing Tao Newspaper Group and Paramount Group in the stock market.

By the time Hu Xian and Zheng Jinghan realized that their company was being acquired, Hu Xian and Zheng Jinghan had already lost the controlling stake in Sing Tao Newspaper Group and Paramount Group—in fact, Hu Xian and Zheng Jinghan had Zheng Jinghan has already lost.

but--

Where are Hu Xian and Zheng Jinghan so easy to admit defeat?

Knowing that they had lost the controlling stake in their respective companies, Hu Xian and Zheng Jinghan immediately used their contacts accumulated in the newspaper industry for many years to find several media outlets to launch a public opinion offensive, saying that Li Ting acted domineeringly and maliciously acquired his peers for many years in an attempt to use This is the way to die!

But as soon as Hu Xian and Zheng Jinghan launched a public opinion offensive, Li Qun revealed his other identity - the chief executive of Yulang International.

Then, with the cooperation of Phoenix TV and TVB, Li Ting used the newspapers and magazines he possessed to reveal all about how Hu Xian and Zheng Jinghan hostilely acquired Yulang International, and claimed that he was just an eye for an eye Tat for tat.

At this point, the matter is actually a mess - it's not clear who made the hostile takeover first, at least outsiders can't understand.

At this time, Li Ting said again, DreamWorks newspapers will never be too big!—there are so many thousand-year-old foxes in the newspaper industry. Someone interpreted it: If any of you dare to help Hu Xian and Zheng Jinghan again, my aunt will buy your newspapers and magazines together!

Xu Cun is so rich that even if he bought the entire Xiangjiang newspaper industry, he would have no trouble at all!

Therefore, no one did not believe Li Que's warning.

In addition, Hu Xian and Zheng Jinghan have already lost.

Moreover, smart people can see that with Xu Cun's support, Hu Xian and Zheng Jinghan, who are at the feet of Li Que, will never have a chance to stand up.

Therefore, after Li Ting's warning was released, most of the media that helped Hu Xian and Zheng Jinghan started to prevaricate Hu Xian and Zheng Jinghan with various reasons.

Both Hu Xian and Zheng Jinghan have been in the newspaper industry for many years, how can they not know that their general situation is over?

Frustrated, Zheng Jinghan transferred his New Modern Pictorial and other newspaper industries to Li Ting, and then left the newspaper industry completely with the Paramount Group, which cut off the newspaper industry.

Hu Xian talked to Li Que four times, and asked many intermediaries, including Hong Kong governor Wei Yixin, to talk to Xu Cun, who was behind Li Zi.

But the result was: not only did Li Teng not intend to let go, but he also used methods such as issuing additional shares, sweeping stocks in the stock market, and injecting capital into Sing Tao Newspaper Group to dilute Hu Xian's stake in Sing Tao Newspaper Group. As for Xu Cun, during this period of time, he was always moving between Japan and South Korea, and he never gave Wei Yixin and others a chance to see him.

After struggling for more than a month, Hu Xiancai and Li Ting reached a final agreement - Hu Xian sold all the shares of their Hu family's Sing Tao Newspaper Group to DreamWorks Newspapers at a price of 600 million Hong Kong dollars. Xian returned to Singapore to create a newspaper called Headline Daily.

At this point, the battle is completely over.

In this battle, Li Que not only made people in the newspaper industry remember her name, but also left the impression of a domineering female president in the newspaper industry—Hu Xian and Zheng Jinghan, especially those with money and background. Hu Xian, such a senior who has been astonished in the newspaper industry for decades, was completely crushed by Li Ting without even having a chance to fight back in front of Li Ting. How can this prevent people in the newspaper industry from remembering Li Ting? , how can we not leave the impression of a domineering female president in the newspaper industry?

As a result, in the newspaper industry, especially in the Xiangjiang newspaper industry, Li Ting has become a ruthless person that no one wants to provoke and no one dares to provoke.

Therefore, when Li Ting greeted his colleagues, the voices shouting Mr. Xu, please return to the film industry immediately became quieter, and it didn't take long for them to disappear completely.
