Rebirth of the Great Entertainment Empire

v1 Chapter 108: success or failure

Thank you, girl, do you still remember me? Jun Xiu Cai is waiting for the fellow Taoist reward, thank you! ! ! Not much to say, one update is only temporary, and two updates will be resumed if there is a recommendation. When it is on the shelves, the author should try to add more.

In 1979, Li An was not that famous Chinese director. He was just a young man who had just obtained a bachelor's degree in theater directing at the University of Illinois.

Like the choice of the vast majority of filmmakers with dreams, Li An immediately went to Hollywood to find a job as soon as he got his degree certificate.

Unfortunately, for several months, Li An was unable to find a suitable job.

This result was far from what Li An had thought before, and it also poured a lot of cold water on his hot dream!

However, in the face of such a situation, Li An did not admit defeat. He continued to look for a job and study at the same time-he thought, if he really couldn't find a suitable job, he would apply for the New York University Institute of Film Production.

this day……

Li An, who had just been rejected by a film company, bought a newspaper on the side of the road as usual - he was going to continue looking for a job.

Unfolding the newspaper, a recruitment news caught Li An's attention-a film company called DreamWorks wanted to recruit a Chinese-speaking assistant director.

Unlike most Europeans and Americans, Li An, who lives in Taiwan, knows that there is a DreamWorks film company in Asia, but he is not sure whether the DreamWorks mentioned in the newspaper is Xu Cun's DreamWorks.

But whether it is or not, Li An feels that the assistant director that DreamWorks is recruiting is tailor-made for him.

So, putting down the newspaper, Li An immediately rushed to Glendale...

……

Making a movie in Hollywood is much more difficult than Xu Cun imagined, especially given the premise that he is not well-known in Hollywood - many things are different from what Xu Cun imagined before he came to Hollywood. E.g:

Xu Cun wanted to recruit 300 to 500 children to audition for "ET" actors, but it turned out that the number of children who came to sign up was less than 100, and this was based on the remuneration given by DreamWorks for other movies. The company tripled its face. Fortunately, Xu Cun found the original stars of "ET" among these children, Henry Thomas, Drew Barrymore, and Robert McNuffton. This made Xu Cun heave a sigh of relief.

Xu Cun assigned an interpreter to each of the important crew members he brought in Hong Kong, but they still could not communicate smoothly with the Hollywood personnel.

Also, the people in Hollywood looked down on Xu Cun and the group of oriental people, and they made trouble for Xu Cun and the others everywhere - several times, Chen Xunqi and others had physical conflicts with the people in Hollywood.

One trouble after another, and everything had to be solved by Xu Cun himself, which made Xu Cun in a daze just after the filming of "ET".

He Chaoqiong, who was playing with Xu Cun on the set, couldn't help feeling a little distressed when he saw Xu Cun who had to do everything by himself. Therefore, He Chaoqiong took the initiative to help Xu Cun coordinate the order on the set.

It's a pity that He Chaoqiong didn't play a big role, and she was also verbally molested by a group of white youths.

Xu Cun's Ni Scale is his woman, and this group of handsome men really angered Xu Cun! Therefore, under Xu Cun's instruction, Lin Zhengying, Chen Xunqi and other members of the crew beat the white young man seriously.

This incident caused a lot of trouble. Lin Zhengying and other twenty people were all brought to the police station to be held accountable. The incident almost turned into a diplomatic incident.

Later, Jeffrey asked someone to coordinate, and Xu Cun compensated the white young group performer for $350,000 to resolve the matter completely.

After the incident, Xu Cun dismissed all those thorns, and doubled the wages of the actors and group performers who performed well (for this reason, under the interference of the US G union, Xu Cun also compensated those actors and group performers who were dismissed by him. A lot of salary.), coupled with the shock of injuring the white youth this time, Xu Cun has absolute control over the "ET" crew.

To be honest, as a reborn person, Xu Cun also felt infinitely suffocated when he dealt with this group of handsome guys like this, but he couldn't help it. There is a saying that a man can stretch and shrink, ah no, he can bend and stretch— —Xu Cun has always only valued the result, and he always believed that no matter how beautiful the process was, it was not as important as the result! Therefore, in order to successfully finish the filming of "ET", use "ET" to make money from the G-boys, and use "ET" to make money from people all over the world, Xu Cun must endure this!

The filming of "ET" just started, and the two or three million dollars were used up by the special effects team and the Yankees. In addition, Xu Cun invested another one million dollars in the establishment of DreamWorks (US G branch), Xu Cun's financial assistant Zhong Chuhong couldn't help but Worrying for Xu Cun - she was worried that the funds of Xu Cun, who dared to be the first, would support Xu Cun to finish the filming of "ET" smoothly, and she was also worried that Xu Cun's myth would be shattered.

Therefore, before she knew it, Zhong Chuhong began to care about Xu Cun, who had become a little haggard due to sorting out the crew - the relationship between the two was also closer than before.

Different from Zhong Chuhong's uncertainty, based on the recent series of events, Xu Cun has already judged that the 70 million Hong Kong dollars he brought from Xiangjiang was not enough for him to finish "ET".

Fortunately, Shi Nansheng brought Xu Cun a car sponsorship of 300 million yen and five high-end Mitsubishi cars from his old partner Mitsubishi Motors, and a toy sponsorship of 120 million yen from Japan's TAKARA company. Fury landed an $800,000 candy sponsorship from Hershey's. As a result, Xu Cun added more than 2.6 million US dollars, which is nearly 20 million Hong Kong dollars.

And the overseas box office of "Fu Xing Gao Zhao" also came out.

In the Nanyang region, "Fu Xing Gao Zhao" earned a box office of 6.9 million US dollars, which is more than 51 million Hong Kong dollars.

In Japan, "Fu Xing Gaozhao" won a box office of 1.85 billion yen ~ lightnovelpub.net~ equivalent to nearly 60 million Hong Kong dollars.

In South Korea, the number of viewers of "Lucky Stars High" is 520,000, which is more than 6.2 million in Hong Kong dollars.

Including Hong Kong's 26.44 million Hong Kong dollars and Taiwan's 62.3 million Taiwan dollars, the total box office of Fuxing Gaozhao: 156 million Hong Kong dollars.

Excluding the cost of theaters, theater lines, distribution fees, etc., DreamWorks and Golden Harvest can share nearly 50 million Hong Kong dollars in total.

The shooting cost of "Fu Xing Gao Zhao" was 17 million Hong Kong dollars, and the publicity cost was 2.2 million Hong Kong dollars.

That is to say, so far, "Fu Xing Gao Zhao" has earned more than 30 million Hong Kong dollars for the producers Fang DreamWorks and Jiahe.

After the addition of 21 and 5, "Fu Xing Gao Zhao" made a profit of 15 million Hong Kong dollars for DreamWorks.

According to the copyright fee that Xu Cun and He Kunchang agreed upon before, Xu Cun can still receive 25 million Hong Kong dollars.

In total, "Fu Xing Gao Zhao" made Xu Cun 40 million Hong Kong dollars.

In addition, Zou Wenhuai also brought "Fu Xing Gao Zhao" to Hollywood, and Xu Cun may be able to share some production fees, but he can no longer take care of Jiahe for the copyright fee (this is what Xu Cun and He Kunchang agreed at that time. ).

All together, Xu Cun collected 60 million Hong Kong dollars, plus the original 70 million Hong Kong dollars. For the filming of "ET", Xu Cun prepared a total of 130 million Hong Kong dollars.

The money should be enough for Xu Cun to shoot "ET". However, this money is almost all of Xu Cun's net worth. Therefore, this time, it can be said that Xu Cun succeeded or succeeded~lightnovelpub.net~ Welcome to reading, the latest, fastest and most popular serial works are all on~lightnovelpub.net~ mobile phone Users please read.
