Rebirth of the Great Entertainment Empire

…

As soon as he saw Xu Cun, Zhou Haimei complained: "The judges you found at Phoenix TV are too blind. A beautiful woman like me who wants to be tall and good-looking doesn't even make it to the top 30!"

Seeing that Zhou Haimei was still chattering, Xu Cun knew that the girl didn't care about losing the election at all.

So Xu Cun said with a smile, "When did you know who I am?"

Zhou Haimei looked at Xu Cun with her big eyes and replied: "When I was watching the news, it said that "Tang Bohu Spots Autumn Fragrance" directed by you won a box office of 140 million yuan in the mainland, and it was said that it was equivalent to 400 million yuan. More than 80 million Hong Kong dollars, saying that it was a very wise choice for you to abandon the Taiwanese film market and choose the mainland film market. Your name appeared many times in that news. After watching it, I remembered who you are."

Xu Cun frightened Zhou Haimei and said, "You know who I am, but you still dare to talk to me so calmly? Do you know that I can easily change your destiny?"

Zhou Haimei pressed her chest with both hands and said with an exaggerated expression: "Little girl is so scared! Mr. Xu, you won't block me, will you?"

Xu Cun pretended to be serious and said, "That's not necessarily true!"

Zhou Haimei's expression was even more exaggerated: "Ah~ If I don't get Mr. Xu's understanding, wouldn't it be a disaster?"

Xu Cun showed an expression of 'you're quite sensible' and said: "So please treat me to a meal quickly, first repay my kindness for leading you, and then climb up my high branch by the way, and then you can ask for help in the film and television industry." It's going to be like the wind and the rain!"

Zhou Haimei said with a thoughtful look: "What you said seems to make sense, but... I only have 30 yuan, is it enough to treat you to dinner?"

Xu Cunmian wondered: "Thirty yuan... it's only enough to eat two bowls of fish ball powder. Hmm... well, since I'm in a good mood today, it's cheaper for you."

"Ah~"

Zhou Haimei said in awe: "The richest man also eats fish ball powder? I thought the richest man would have a belly full of abalone and ginseng wings every day!"

Xu Cun pretended to recall: "I think back then, I ate tree bark, what happened to fish ball powder?"

Zhou Haimei didn't believe it: "Eating bark? How is it possible?"

"Let's talk as we go."

After finishing speaking, Xu Cun walked towards the snack street in DreamWorks Film and Television City, recalling bitterness and sweetness while walking: "The year I was born happened to coincide with the second year of the three-year disaster in the Mainland..."

Listening to Xu Cun recalling the past, Zhou Haimei subconsciously followed Xu Cun's footsteps.

Seeing Xu Cun and Zhou Haimei walking farther and farther away, Ye Yuqing thought sourly: "Eat fish ball powder... It seems that even without my help, that silly girl can't escape this dead man's grasp!"

...

Because Xu Cun did not pre-designate the films that DreamWorks will promote this summer as usual, several films of DreamWorks Films competed for this year's summer.

DreamWorks Films has always attached great importance to movie promotion, especially the promotion of movies released in the two golden time slots of Lunar New Year and summer. Therefore, movies released in these two golden time slots are most likely to achieve results. Naturally, they all hope that the films they direct can be released in these two prime time slots.

Usually, these two golden schedules are occupied by the films designated by Xu Cun, and other directors dare not show their ideas. This time, they finally waited until Xu Cun didn't say anything, how could they not compete for the most productive schedule?

The directors and films participating in the competition are: Yu Rendai's "Four-Eyed Boy", Guan Jinpeng's "Women's Heart", Chen Xunqi's "Little Fox Fairy", Wang Jing and Chu Yuan's co-directed "Flower Heart Red Apricot" and Six films of "Magic Cocoon" and "Jewel of the Nile" produced by DreamWorks Films (USA branch).

"Magic Cocoon" and "Jewel of the Nile", two films produced by DreamWorks Films (the American branch), respectively achieved good results in sixth and seventh in the North American box office this year, with a box office of more than 75 million Dollars, "Cocoon" and "The Jewel of the Nile" are the most competitive in terms of performance, but in fact they were the first to be delayed.

With the growing scale of DreamWorks Films, there will inevitably be some hills among the interior, and the two biggest hills are-DreamWorks Films (Xiangjiang Branch) and DreamWorks Films (American Branch) company).

In Xiangjiang, Xu Cun did not speak. How could the films produced by DreamWorks Films (US Branch) compete with the films produced by DreamWorks Films (Xiangjiang Branch)? Of course, the opposite is also true. In the United States, Xu Cun does not speak, and the films produced by DreamWorks Films (Xiangjiang Branch) cannot compete with the films produced by DreamWorks Films (American Branch)

Therefore, "The Cocoon" and "The Jewel of the Nile" were naturally delayed.

But even if the release of "Magic Cocoon" and "Jewel of the Nile" are postponed, DreamWorks' distribution department is still very embarrassed!

Yu Rendai hasn't directed any good works in recent years, so he should be the least competitive, but after Cen Jianxun and Zhang Jianyan left DreamWorks Film Company (Xiangjiang Branch), Yu Rendai was appointed by Xu Cun as the second screenwriter team The deputy team leader (the team leader is Gao Zhisen), in DreamWorks Film Company, the screenwriter has a very high status, let alone a deputy team leader in charge of dozens of screenwriters? And behind Yu Rendai stood the entire second screenwriting team, or even the entire screenwriting team. Therefore, the distribution department could not refuse to release "Four-Eyed Boy" directed by Yu Rendai in the summer.

Guan Jinpeng is a new director, so he should not have much competitiveness, but he is the favorite student of Tang Shuxuan, the manager of the production department, and he is also the most promising new director of literary and artistic films. people. Therefore, the publishing department could not refuse to release Guan Jinpeng's "Women's Heart".

Needless to say, Chen Xunqi, he was one of the first people to talk to Xu Cun, and the distribution department dared not give him face.

Not to mention Wang Jing and Chu Yuan, one is one of the highest-grossing directors in DreamWorks, and the other is one of the highest-ranking directors in DreamWorks. If any of them stand up, the distribution department dare not lose face. What's more, stand up together?

actually--

If there is a huge gap between these four films, it will not be difficult for the distribution department.

What really embarrasses the distribution department is that these four films are all about the same level.

In desperation, the distribution department had no choice but to report the matter layer by layer, and finally reported the matter to Xu Cun.

After understanding what happened before and after, Xu Cun suddenly became more vigilant - this matter itself is nothing, and it is easy to deal with, as long as the Dreamworks Cinema, Liberty Cinema, and Anle Cinema are divided into four, and at the same time Just show these four movies. What Xu Cun was really alerted to was that the distribution department did not dare to make decisions on its own because of fear of offending others, and that if this kind of hilltopism was not controlled, it might affect the economic interests of DreamWorks Films.

Taking this incident as an example, the most correct approach for the distribution department is to release "Magic Cocoon" and "Jewel of the Nile", at least one of them should be released, because it is only necessary to release these two films that have already achieved good results. Most likely to benefit DreamWorks Films the most.

But these two movies that should be released were the first to be eliminated.

From this, Xu Cun said: "I have to have a good talk with Shi Nansheng, and I have to give these two film companies a general manager who can take care of the overall situation."
