Rebirth of the Great Entertainment Empire

…

actually--

As long as you know how to be a boss, it's easy to be a boss.

Generally speaking, as long as you can do three things well, you will have no problem running a lot of big companies.

What are the three points that are so awesome?

It's what Lenovo's Liu Chuanzhi often said: set up a team, set a strategy, and lead a team.

It is no bragging to say that these three points are really too easy for Xu Cun, a foresighted person!

Build a team: Xu Cun will use whoever is good and famous. Although it is not sure that it is right, it will greatly reduce the risk of being wrong. Therefore, Xu Cun's team can be said to be composed of the absolute elite of this generation.

Determining a strategy: For Xu Cun, who has the foresight, this is even more pediatrics-it is no exaggeration to say that even a strategic team composed of the top strategists of this era cannot be better than Xu Cun, who is the foresight. A well-defined strategy is better.

Leading the team: For Xu Cun, this is a little troublesome, after all, it is a matter of time and energy. But, then again, for Xu Cun, who has been in Xiangjiang for almost ten years, this is not a big problem now - he has already brought out all the people who should be brought by him, and if newcomers come, he will have his own way. The people he brought out will be taken again.

Therefore, it is still very easy for Xu Cun to be the boss, especially after he has flattened the huge positions opened by the Plaza Accord and arranged the situation that should be laid out for the stock market crash next year. .

early december.

Under the personal guidance of the idle Xu Cun, Digital Comprehension and Industrial Light \u0026 Magic finally overcame the final technical barrier of special effects in "The Matrix".

In other words, the special effects blockbuster "The Matrix" that has lasted for a year and a half can finally be released.

It has been two years since "Back to the Future" was drawn, and no film directed by Xu Cun has been released.

In addition, during this period, Xu Cun created the commercial miracle of acquiring Standard Chartered Bank, pushing his personal reputation to a new high.

Therefore, "The Matrix" really became popular before it was aired, especially in Xu Cun's hometown - Xiangjiang.

How popular was "The Matrix" in Hong Kong before it was broadcast?

It's so popular, DreamWorks Films hasn't even started advertising "The Matrix", most Hong Kong people already know that "The Matrix" will be released during Christmas!

The momentum of "The Matrix" is really too fierce! As a result, major film companies unanimously chose to avoid Xu Cun's "The Matrix".

For example:

Cheng Long's ambitious work "Brother Dragon and Brother Tiger" is going to be released during Christmas.

This movie was filmed in Yugoslavia and Eastern European countries, and the investment was quite huge. Not only did Cheng Long, the No. 1 movie star of Golden Harvest, act as the first male lead, but also Tan Yonglin, one of the most popular male singers in the Xiangjiang music scene, acted as the second male lead. At the same time, the Spanish beauty Laura Forner was invited to play the role. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Jiahe and Cheng Long, who have made a fortune in Europe and the United States with "Police Story", have the idea of ​​going to Europe and America to make money.

(During the filming of "Dragon Brothers and Tiger Brothers", Cheng Long, who has always been used to long hair, specially cut his hair short for the filming, but during a certain shooting on the set, Cheng Long fell from a tree and fell on a stone, almost died, so he started growing his hair again, thinking that long hair would bring good luck.)

but--

Even though, both Jiahe and Cheng Long himself are very confident in "Dragon Brothers and Tiger Brothers", but knowing that "The Matrix" directed by Xu Cun himself and with a production cost of up to 200 million Hong Kong dollars will be released during Christmas, Jiahe After discussing with Cheng Long for a while, the executives chose to avoid the war, and moved the release time of "Brother Dragon and Tiger Brother" to a month later, which is the Lunar New Year file.

Coincidentally—New Art City and Debao also chose to avoid Xu Cun's "The Matrix".

New Art City's "Legend of Wesley" directed by Teddy Robin, starring Xu Guanjie and Ti Lung was originally planned to be released during Christmas, but after learning that Xu Cun's "The Matrix" will be released during Christmas, Mecca and others immediately The meeting changed the release time of "Legend of Wesley" to the Lunar New Year file.

Good Friends Film Company's entrepreneurial work "Using to Catch a Iraqi" co-directed by Debao and Good Friends Film Company not only invited Tan Yonglin as the leading role, but also invited the popular Japanese actress Hayami Yu from Japan to act as the female lead. Japan's ambitions are self-evident-knowing that Xu Cun's "The Matrix" will be released during Christmas, Zeng Zhiwei went to visit Pan Disheng overnight and asked to postpone the release of "Yong Shou Yi Ren" to the Lunar New Year file.

The major film companies all chose to avoid the war, leaving Xu Cun without even a decent opponent.

Of course, this is not absolute - Xu's Films' "Detective Chocolate" will be released during Christmas, competing with Xu Cun's "The Matrix".

actually--

Xu Cun's "The Matrix" in "Detective Chocolate" was not what Xu Guanwen wanted - because last year, Xu Guanwen signed three film opening contracts with Debao behind Golden Harvest's back, and helped Debao film "Three Treasures of Wisdom and Bravery". As a result, Golden Harvest executives were seriously dissatisfied with Xu Guanwen, which led to Golden Harvest executives wanting to teach Xu Guanwen a lesson, so Xu Guanwen's "Detective Chocolate" was played against Xu Cun's "The Matrix".

Anyway, "The Matrix" was also released on December 23rd, the eve of Christmas Eve.

The week before its release, DreamWorks Films advertised "The Matrix" for a week despite the fact that "The Matrix" will be released during the Christmas period.

In addition, like Xu Cun's previous films, "The Matrix" is screened in multiple countries around the world (it is precisely because "The Matrix" is going to be screened globally that it was chosen to be screened during Christmas. ).

In Xiangjiang.

Not only Dreamworks Cinemas and Liberty Cinemas jointly screened "The Matrix", but even Shuangnan Cinemas and Debao Cinemas, which wanted to curry favor with Xu Cun, also jointly screened "The Matrix".

In other words, apart from the Golden Harvest Cinemas, four of the five Xiangjiang Cinemas will jointly screen Xu Cun's "The Matrix" during the Christmas period.

Such a large battle leads to:

The box office of "The Matrix" on the first day in Hong Kong's local port directly surpassed three million and reached four million.

In just three days, the box office of "The Matrix" exceeded 10 million.

In just one week, the box office of "The Matrix" exceeded 20 million.

but--

While countless people were waiting for "The Matrix" to create another miracle, there was a scene that stunned everyone—a week later, the box office of "The Matrix" suddenly plummeted, directly from more than four million yuan. The daily box office suddenly jumped to a daily box office of less than two million.

What's even more dumbfounding is that many viewers who have watched "The Matrix" began to reflect that "The Matrix" should be a good movie, but they couldn't understand it!
