MTL - Rebirth of the Great Entertainment Empire-Chapter 62 1 piece of white cloth
…
"Mr. Zombie - a good movie with zero negative reviews."
"Thousands of directors have handed over a paper that will satisfy the audience of Hong Kong!"
"How is Mr. Zombie positioned? The best comedy? The best kung fu movie? Or the best ghost movie?"
"Zhao Yazhi, the most beautiful female ghost in history!"
""The Love of My Life" - a lovely love song sung by Xu Cun and Zhao Yazhi!"
"..."
"Mr. Zombie" does not have zero negative reviews, but the sound of negative reviews is so small that few people can hear the negative reviews.
The mainstream media in Hong Kong gave "Mr. Zombie" almost no praise. Of course, this also has a lot to do with Shi Nansheng taking the lead in touting "Mr. Zombie" in several newspapers.
……
"Mr. Zombie" grossed 620,000 on its first day.
On the same day, Shi Nansheng approached Wang Hongbing to negotiate to increase the number of screenings.
The next day, "Mr. Zombie" changed from five shows a day to six shows a day. The box office of "Mr. Zombie" also rose from 620,000 to 740,000.
Although an additional screening is added every day, the 16 Shaw Brothers theaters are still almost full.
Within a week, the box office of "Mr. Zombie" even reached 5.01 million.
As soon as this achievement appeared, the eyes of the filmmakers in Hong Kong almost fell out. In the whole seven or eight years, there were only three films, "Happy Ghost", "Selling Deed" and "Drunken Fist", which had a box office of more than 5 million, and ranked fourth. The box office of "The Great Devil and Little Sister" is less than 3.6 million, while the box office of "Mr. Zombie" has reached 5 million in a week. How can this not make people dumbfounded?
While dumbfounded, the filmmakers in Xiangjiang had a terrible guess, that is, can the box office of "Mr. Zombie" reach 20 million?
This guess is not unfounded—because, after the New Year, that is, on January 27, the ticket price of Hong Kong movie tickets has risen from five yuan and seven to six yuan and nine each.
However, this is just an outsider's guess. Xu Cun has no hope that the box office of "Mr. Zombie" will exceed 20 million. You must know that the total population of Xiangjiang at this time is only more than 5 million, even if all Xiangjiang people watch it. Once "Mr. Zombie", the box office of "Mr. Zombie" is only more than 34 million. And no matter how well "Mr. Zombie" is filmed, it is impossible for all Hong Kong people to come to watch the movie. If half of the people come to watch the movie, then Xu Cun can become a god.
What's more, there are also five films of "The Thief and the Detective", "The Eye-catching Trick", "Monkey-shaped Clutching Hands", "Laughing Fist Strange Trick" and "Family Law" to besiege "Mr. Zombie"?
……
A week later, on January 26, it will be the biggest festival in China - New Year's Eve.
It sounds a bit ridiculous—now, Xu Cun has five or six women, but he has to celebrate the New Year alone.
Those women wanted to celebrate the New Year with Xu Cun, but the situation forced him and Ben to not be able to celebrate the New Year with the girls.
Needless to say about Lin Qingxia - even if Lin Qingxia is not in Taiwan and Hong Kong, with the unclear relationship between her and Xu Cun, Xu Cun will not be able to celebrate the New Year with her.
Zhao Yazhi had only been divorced for more than a month. If Xu Cun came to the door now, wouldn't it be obvious that he and Zhao Yazhi had an affair before Zhao Yazhi's divorce?
Among Li Saifeng, Luo Meiwei, Wen Bixia, and Mei Yanfang, the eldest Mei Yanfang was only sixteen today, so Xu Cun couldn't just lick his face and go to their several houses for the New Year, right?
Actually, Xu Cun was also unwilling to go to their house for the New Year with the girls—he didn't want others to know about his relationship with the girls, which would be a big disadvantage for him to find other women in the future!
Speaking of which, this is a price to pay. Who made him want to live a life in chains?
Therefore, Xu Cun deserved this fate.
……
On the last day of 1978, Xu Cun paid 5,000 to each of his subordinates (mainly managers such as Shi Nansheng, contracted actors such as Li Saifeng, singers, Huang Bingyao and other behind-the-scenes personnel, members of the Xu family, and members of the Raptors stunt team). The red envelopes range from 20,000 to 20,000, and the rest of the DreamWorks staff also have red envelopes ranging from 500 to 2,000.
Asking Cui Baozhu and Zhong Zhen to buy a big New Year's gift for them, Xu Cun drove to Li Zhu's house.
At Li Zhu's house, Xu Cun had a reunion dinner with the four members of the Li family, and played with Li Ke and Li Ying for a while.
Before leaving, Xu Cun gave Li Kui and Li Ying a red envelope each containing 10,000 Hong Kong dollars.
This money, said to be a red envelope for the two children, was actually used by Xu Cun for Li Zhu and his wife to live.
In addition to the 20,000 yuan, this year Xu Cun gave Li Zhu and his wife 40,000 to 50,000 yuan in various names.
Although Xu Cun is a complete bastard, he will do anything to achieve his goals, but he still has one advantage - repaying his gratitude!
When he first came to Hong Kong, Xu Cun had no relatives and no money. If Mrs. Li had not rented her attic to Xu Cun in advance, Li Zhu helped Xu Cun enter the cast of "Dream of Red Mansions", would Xu Cun be? It may have developed so quickly to what it is today.
However, Xu Cun, who has a wealth of experience, understands one more truth - it is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish.
Xu Cun was going to wait for DreamWorks to grow a little more, to find a stable and profitable livelihood for Li Zhu and his wife, so that one of them would be able to do chores when they were healthy, and the other would drive a truck.
……
Opening the door, Xu Cun was slightly startled—Wen Bixia, who was supposed to go home, didn't leave. Moreover, she also made a large table of dishes to wait for Xu Cun.
To be honest, at this moment, Xu Cun was really moved by Wen Bixia.
Xu Cun asked Wen Bixia softly, "Didn't you go home for the New Year?"
"I asked Brother Fa to help me send half of the red envelopes you gave me home. What my parents lack is money, not children." Wen Bixia said while helping Xu Cun undress~www.novelbuddy.com ~Wen Bixia's movements are very gentle, like a petite wife who loves her husband.
I had another reunion dinner with Wen Bixia, and then the phone rang for the New Year's greetings.
The phone calls came one after another - almost everyone from DreamWorks gave Xu Cun a New Year's call, so Xu Cun didn't even have time to rest for a while.
Fortunately, Zhao Yazhi's daughters are all in their own homes, so they don't dare to talk to Xu Cun on the phone for too long, otherwise the phone call will have to be endless.
Taking advantage of the gap between answering the phone, Xu Cun called Lin Qingxia who was far away in Taiwan, and then chatted with Lin Qingxia for more than half an hour.
When Xu Cun put down the phone, it was almost twelve o'clock.
Seeing this, Xu Cun hurriedly took Wen Bixia downstairs and set off a firecracker with 880,000 sounds.
Back in the room, Wen Bixia, who entered the room first, turned around and looked at Xu Cun—her eyes were full of deep anticipation!
Xu Cun understood Wen Bixia's eyes - Xu Cun once promised Wen Bixia that he would ask for her when she was thirteen years old, the midnight bell had already rang, and Wen Bixia was thirteen years old.
But at such moments, Xu Cun never flinched! He took a step forward, picked up Wen Bixia by the waist, and walked to his bedroom...
When he got to the bedside, Xu Cun was a little stunned—the bed was already covered with a white cloth!
Don't ask, this must be a good deed done by Wen Bihua!
Xu Cun lowered his head and pointed at Wen Bixia, who was smiling, and said, "So anxious to become my woman? Well, I will fulfill you now!"
