Forbidden City.

That is, the opening ceremony of "The Last Emperor".

As one of the guests, Xu Cun also attended the opening ceremony of this epoch-making movie.

In addition to being one of the guests at the ceremony, Xu Cun also has an identity - the representative of the publisher of "The Last Emperor".

Honestly -

Xu Cun also thought about directing "The Last Emperor" himself, the only film so far that was shot in the Forbidden City without all the guardrails. Nominated for nine categories in cinematography, best editing, best sound, best art direction, best costume design and best original soundtrack, this Chinese film opened the door to the Chinese Oscars. Therefore, Xu Cuncai asked Jiang Zhiqiang to buy the copyright of "The Last Emperor", that is, the copyright of "The First Half of My Life" written by Pu Yi - absorbing the copyright of "The First Half of My Life" by Li Hanxiang in the previous life. Lesson, Xu Cun not only let Jiang Zhiqiang and the publishing house buy the copyright of "My First Half of My Life", but also let Jiang Zhiqiang and Puyi's wife Li Shuxian, his former concubine Li Yuqin, including Li Wenda who helped Puyi organize the manuscript to buy it The copyright of "The First Half of My Life" was obtained, and Xu Cun also asked Jiang Zhiqiang to donate 200,000 RMB to Puyi's wife Li Shuxian and his concubine Li Yuqin respectively, so that they could enjoy a good night.

How-

God does not follow people's wishes.

First of all, Xu Cun, who has been busy for the past few years, really has no time to direct this time-consuming film.

Secondly, there is some sensitive content in "The Last Emperor". Xu Cun, who has been paying great attention to this aspect over the years, does not want to bear this cause and effect.

Again, without Bernardo Bertolucci as the assistant director, Xu Cun was not sure to direct this film with a strong artistic atmosphere. To put it bluntly, without Bernardo Bertolucci, Xu Cun would not have been able to direct the film "The Last Emperor" - there are not only reasons for the director's directing strength and talent, but also for The reason for the thought that went into the film The Last Emperor. You know, Bernardo Bertolucci has been preparing for several years in order to direct the film "The Last Emperor", during which he met a large number of people who used to live with Puyi. In other words, in Bernardo Bertolucci's heart, he has a clear understanding of Puyi, including what Puyi has experienced in his life. There is no Xu Cun who has not spent this energy, let alone this time, so Xu Cun cannot direct the film "The Last Emperor", which is known for its art.

It is precisely because of this that after considering it for a long time, Xu Cun instructed Jiang Zhiqiang to grant the copyright of "My First Half of My Life" to Bernardo Bertolucci and Li Hanxiang respectively.

Relying on the copyright of "My First Half of Life", Li Hanxiang produced "Fire Dragon" reasonably and legally, and "Fire Dragon" was released in Hong Kong and the mainland at the beginning of this year, and the results were good - in Hong Kong , "Fire Dragon" won the box office of 13.9 million Hong Kong dollars. In mainland China, "Fire Dragon" earned RMB 41 million at the box office.

Different from the last life, after Shaw Brothers stopped production in the last life, Li Hanxiang became an independent director. He was powerless and powerless and could not compete with the co-production company with deep background.

In this life, after Shaw Brothers stopped production, Li Hanxiang joined DreamWorks Studios and became one of the directors of DreamWorks.

With the great **** Xu Cun taking care of him and the legal authorization of "My First Half of Life", Li Hanxiang and the co-production company co-produced "Fire Dragon" in this life is not as troubled as in the previous life.

In addition, relying on the copyright of "My First Half of My Life", DreamWorks Studios has become both the distributor and the producer of "Fire Dragon".

Xu Cunben also wanted to do the same for "The Last Emperor", which was dozens of streets behind "Fire Dragon" in his previous life. Let DreamWorks Studios become both the distributor of "The Last Emperor" and the producer of "The Last Emperor". square.

But--

Regarding the proposal of DreamWorks Studios, Bernardo Bertolucci, the director of "The Last Emperor", decided not to even think about it - just after Bernardo Bertolucci proposed to shoot "The Last Emperor" ”, Jiang Zhiqiang wanted to join on behalf of DreamWorks Studios, and Bernardo Bertolucci could receive dividends if he made a profit, and if he lost, Bernardo Bertolucci could get the director’s fee, and all shooting expenses were paid for. Produced by DreamWorks Studios. But Naldo Bertolucci refused without even thinking about it. He said that he wanted to realize his wish, so no commercial existence was allowed, and he had to protect his own independent creation of art. So he borrowed $5 million from five European banks each ~lightnovelpub.net~ and raised a total of $25 million. In this way, it goes without saying that if you win, Bernardo Bertolucci will go bankrupt.

I admire Bernardo Bertolucci's perseverance and courage Xu Cun! Therefore, under Xu Cun's instructions, DreamWorks Films won the global distribution rights of "The Last Emperor" only on the condition that Bernardo Bertolucci used the copyright of "My First Half of My Life" for free. It didn't force the production of "The Last Emperor," and DreamWorks Studios gave Bernardo Bertolucci and the co-production company a slightly higher-than-market share of the box office.

In addition, in terms of actors and photographic equipment, Xu Cun also gave Bernardo Bertolucci a lot of support - in terms of photographic equipment, all the photographic equipment used in the filming of "The Last Emperor" were provided by DreamWorks Films The most advanced photographic equipment in the world. In terms of actors, Zun Long, the star of "The Last Emperor", is an artist under the DreamWorks Brokerage Company.

Of course, most of the actors in "The Last Emperor" were chosen by Bernardo Bertolucci himself. Moreover, Bernardo Bertolucci really chose a few very powerful actors-among them, the leader of the guards is played by Chen Kaige, one of Xu Cun's students, and Ying Ruocheng, who plays the warden, is director Yingda His father, Ying Ruocheng at this time was the deputy minister of the Ministry of Culture, and the most powerful one was Song Huaigui, the Chinese fashion godmother, the proprietress of the Maxim restaurant in China who played Queen Longyu. and many more……

I spent a whole day with Wang Fei in the Forbidden City, which had no tourists and no guardrails, and spent most of the night with Wang Fei. The next day, Xu Cun returned to Xiangjiang under Wang Fei’s reluctance. After questioning, Xu Cun and the central government have formulated all strategies to keep Standard Chartered Bank's right to issue banknotes. Therefore, Xu Cun had to rush back to Xiangjiang to make the final preparations.
