MTL - Rebirth of the Great Entertainment Empire-Chapter 59 ambition
…
Starting from January 14th, the posters of "Mr. Zombie" can be seen in the prominent positions of all mainstream newspapers, as well as the "Ten million box office director Xu Cun's 4 million production cost." "Mr. Zombie" is waiting for you to taste at the Shaw Brothers Cinema on January 20!" This slogan.
On January 20th, almost half of the people in Hong Kong knew that "Mr. Zombie" was going to be released. The audience who had the desire to watch the movie bought the movie tickets for the premiere early and waited to taste "Mr. Zombie".
……
Fang Yihua's home.
"Sixth brother, go to sleep, tomorrow morning will naturally have the answer." Fang Yihua persuaded Shao Yifu.
"Go to sleep first, I'll wait a while." Shao Yifu said.
"More than one million yuan was spent on advertising alone, and Xu Cun is the only director at the Hong Kong box office with ten million yuan. The attendance rate of the premiere of "Mr. Zombie" is definitely not bad. It's not meaningful to wait, or to get up early tomorrow. Look at the reviews of "Mr. Zombie", then you can see what kind of achievements "Mr. Zombie" can achieve." Fang Yihua advised again.
"I know." Shao Yifu said in a deep voice.
How could Yifu Shao not know what Fang Yihua said? But he just couldn't sleep - at this moment, he was a little restless, he vaguely felt that he had done something wrong, and he even began to regret for indulging Xu Cun.
……
Liu Lianghua's home.
Zou Wenhuai didn't sleep either.
However, unlike Shao Yifu who was worried about raising tigers, Zou Wenhuai wondered when Xu Cun would be able to come over from the Shao family.
Xu Cun's "Happy Ghost" made Shaw Brothers tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars, which made Zou Wenhuai jealous.
A partner like Xu Cun who is willing to spend money on production and promotion is the ideal partner for Golden Harvest.
However, He Kunchang threw an olive branch to Xu Cun several times, and Xu Cun politely rejected it. This made Zou Wenhuai slightly unhappy, but also made Zou Wenhuai start to think about the reason why Xu Cun could not come to Jiahe.
Comparing the pros and cons of Golden Harvest and Shaw Brothers, Zou Wenhuai vaguely guessed that the root cause might be the arrangement of the theater.
After having this guess, Zou Wenhuai's first thought was that he guessed wrong-he didn't believe that a kid who only made two movies would have such big ambitions.
However, with the appearance of the promotion of "Mr. Zombie", Zou Wenhuai realized that he guessed right.
Then, Zou Wenhuai both looked at Xu Cun's ambition and laughed at Xu Cun's self-control.
At that time, Zou Wenhuai smiled at He Guanchang who was beside him: "This kid, he wants to run before he learns to walk!"
"It's normal for talented people to have ambitions," He Kunchang said at the time.
Whether it is Zou Wenhuai or He Kunchang, they are not worried about Xu Cun's ambitions - Jiahe's business philosophy is cooperation, everyone makes a fortune, not a Shaw family.
Judging from this business philosophy, Zou Wenhuai's mind is indeed much broader than Shao Yifu's.
However, it is precisely because Zou Wenhuai's mind is too broad that the satellite companies supported by Jiahe in the late 1980s defected from Jiahe, which led to the gradual decline of Jiahe.
In addition to not worrying about Xu Cun's ambitions, Zou Wenhuai and He Kunchang are also not worried that Xu Cun will not come to join Jiahe - they know Shao Yifu too well and know that Shao Yifu will never allow independent filmmakers like Xu Cun to exist. ! Back then, the fundamental reason why they fell out with Shao Yifu was that they wanted to disrupt Shaw Brothers' large-scale studio system. The reason why Xu Guanwen betrayed and left Shaw Brothers was also because Xu Guanwen wanted to touch Shaw Brothers' big studio system. Xu Cun's current approach is not to touch Shaw's large-scale studio system, but to completely destroy Shaw's large-scale studio system. It's no wonder that Shao Yifu, who regards the big studio system as the foundation, can tolerate Xu Cun!
Then again, Zou Wenhuai couldn't count on Xu Cun all-in addition to Xu Cun, Zou Wenhuai also took a fancy to one person, and this person was Cheng Long.
This year, the most dazzling filmmaker in Xiangjiang is naturally Xu Cun. Apart from Xu Cun, the most dazzling filmmaker in Xiangjiang is Cheng Long, and even Xu Guanwen's limelight was faintly overshadowed by Cheng Long.
The box office of "Drunken Fist" is as high as 6.7 million, second only to "Happy Ghost" and "Deed of Sale", and it ranks third in this year's Hong Kong box office.
The box office of "Snake Shaped Hands" is nearly 3 million, ranking ninth in the box office list of Hong Kong this year.
The overseas box office of these two films is even more gratifying, and the overseas box office of "Drunken Fist" even surpassed that of "Happy Ghost" and "Deed of Prosperity".
In addition, unlike Xu Guanwen's fast-paced creations, Cheng Long's output is very high - at least two per year, and more often four or five per year. He is regarded as a rare fast shooter. , With such a reputation, Cheng Long can definitely consolidate Jiahe's position overseas, and even open up overseas markets for Jiahe.
However, the current Cheng Long is still from Luo Wei, and Zou Wenhuai is not the only one who is eyeing Cheng Long - the old man Shao Yifu is ready to invest his money this time.
In this way, it will be a little troublesome!
To solve this trouble, Zou Wenhuai had to rely on Liu Lianghua in his arms for help.
"Ah Hua, how are you thinking about Cheng Long?" Zou Wenhuai asked Liu Lianghua~www.novelbuddy.com~ Brother Huai, can someone else do this? Luo Wei and I are husband and wife after all..." Liu Lianghua said embarrassedly.
"Luo Wei couldn't keep Cheng Long's. After the big sale of "Drunken Fist", Luo Wei only doubled Cheng Long's wages - from 3,000 Hong Kong dollars for a movie to 6,000 Hong Kong dollars for a movie. In Wu Si Yuanna, Cheng Long can still earn 50,000 Hong Kong dollars from a movie, not to mention that I asked Achang to give Cheng Long 1 million Hong Kong dollars, and Yongchang to give Cheng Long 2.7 million Hong Kong dollars again? "Zou Wenhuai said softly.
Liu Lianghua sighed lightly and said nothing.
Seeing that Liu Lianghua still couldn't bear to shoot, Zou Wenhuai spit out some words of heartbreak: "Shao Lao Liu also shot, I heard that he is going to use five million Hong Kong dollars to poach Cheng Long from Lovina. What do you think, Shao Lao Liu and I shot at the same time, is it possible for the stingy Luo Wei to keep Cheng Long?"
Liu Lianghua scolded Luo Wei in her heart: "You are really a pig! Cheng Long has such a good card in your hand, but you don't know how to win over you. You really deserve to be unlucky for the rest of your life!"
After scolding Luo Wei, Liu Lianghua let out a long sigh, and then said leisurely, "Let Brother Chang bring some more money to find Aaron in a few days. I'll take time out these two days to ask Aaron to come out and talk."
After hearing Liu Lianghua's words, Zou Wenhuai's heart was determined - Cheng Long was Luo Wei's and Liu Lianghua's son. Moreover, compared with Luo Wei, Cheng Long has more respect for Liu Lianghua, a skilled mother. Therefore, as long as Liu Lianghua is willing to take action, Cheng Long will definitely switch to Jiahe's arms.
Immediately, Zou Wenhuai, who was in a good mood, began to soothe Liu Lianghua's guilt-filled heart~www.novelbuddy.com~ Welcome to reading, the latest, fastest and most popular serial works are available~www.novelbuddy.com~ Mobile users, please read.
