Rebirth of the Great Entertainment Empire

Chapter 495: Success or Failure

During the Lunar New Year holiday this year, DreamWorks Films will be promoting three films, Gao Zhisen's "Wealthy Man", Lin Lingdong's "Dragon and Tiger", and Li Lianjie's "Chinese Hero".

It is also the luck of Lin Lingdong and Li Lianjie, the two newcomers of DreamWorks Film Company!

Before the Lunar New Year holiday this year, except for Gao Zhisen, none of the major directors of DreamWorks Films produced new films, and even DreamWorks Films (the American branch) did not produce any good films.

Coincidentally, just before Hu Huizhong waited for the filming, Lin Lingdong and Li Lianjie had the good fortune to meet Xu Cun who was wandering around DreamWorks Studios with a large group of beauties.

Therefore, under Xu Cun's intervention, Lin Lingdong's "Dragon and Tiger" and Li Lianjie's "Chinese Hero" were able to appear in this year's Lunar New Year file.

Of course, among these three films, DreamWorks Films is still promoting Gao Zhisen's "Rich and Rich" - except for the screens occupied by Xu Cun's "The Matrix", DreamWorks theaters have screened Gao Zhisen's movie in a row. "Wealth is overwhelming".

Liberty Cinemas will be divided into two parts to show Lin Lingdong's "Dragon and Tiger" and Li Lianjie's "Chinese Hero".

"Chinese Heroes" is a story with a straightforward meaning: During World War II, the Chinese and American troops triumphed over the Japanese army, but the Chinese soldiers were despised and insulted. In the early 1980s, foreigners could buy any luxury goods in the "Friendship Store" run by the Chinese government, but Chinese people were turned away, no matter whether he had money or not.

Li Lianjie vented his dissatisfaction with reality through "Chinese Heroes". According to Li Lianjie's words: "I want to expose the injustice in society and let the audience realize that this society needs reform."

It was because of Li Lianjie's idea that "Chinese Hero" failed to pass the censorship because it directly alluded to reality, which led to the Mainland Film Bureau not allowing "Chinese Hero" to be screened.

This matter was also solved by Xu Cun for Jet Li. Xu Cun called the head of the Propaganda Department in front of Li Lianjie. That night, Li Lianjie received a notice from the Mainland Film Bureau-"Chinese Heroes" only needs to be deleted. The shot of time can be screened in the Mainland.

In addition, as a movie released during the Lunar New Year, DreamWorks Films also advertised "Chinese Heroes" in Hong Kong with one million Hong Kong dollars.

It can be said that DreamWorks Films has created excellent conditions for the release of Jet Li's debut-female work "Chinese Hero".

It can also be said that Xu Cun, a big boss, is really interested in Li Lianjie, his only horse boy!

but--

At any time, if a person wants to achieve ultimate success, he can only rely on himself in the end.

To paraphrase a common saying: you need to be hard to strike iron.

Although Xu Cun created excellent conditions for the release of Li Lianjie's "Chinese Hero", even though Li Lianjie took painstaking efforts in filming "Chinese Hero", and even suffered an injury that almost killed him, but because Li Lianjie was in "Chinese Hero" Too much preaching was added bluntly in the film, so that the audience was not interested in watching it. In the end, "Chinese Heroes" was forced to withdraw because the attendance rate was less than 40% in Hong Kong after only six days of screening. The situation in the mainland is better. , but it was only released for seven days and made a box office of more than 2 million yuan.

Undoubtedly, Li Lianjie's "Chinese Heroes" hit the market, even though he earned more than 300,000 Hong Kong dollars because of "Chinese Heroes" - discerning people, including Li Lianjie himself, know that Li Lianjie earned more than 300,000 Hong Kong dollars, not by Li Lianjie The money he earned was given to him by Li Lianjie's boss, Xu Cun.

As soon as the box office share of "Chinese Heroes" came to Li Lianjie, Li Lianjie brought all his wealth to visit Xu Cun.

Of course, Xu Cun couldn't ask for Li Lianjie's small money - Xu Cun only said two words to Li Lianjie: the first sentence, "Ajie, I have confidence in you, you will definitely become an action star not inferior to Cheng Long .” The second sentence, “From now on, live a good life with Qiuyan, if you dare to betray her, I promise you won’t even have a chance to regret it.”. Then, Xu Cun, who was going to the shooting range to practice shooting, sent Li Lianjie away.

The release of "Chinese Heroes" was really insignificant to Xu Cun, but it had a profound impact on Li Lianjie. Later, he didn't form Zhengdong Film Company like he did in his previous life. Secondly, from now on, Li Lianjie has worked harder and worked harder when making movies. He wants to prove to the world that his boss Xu Cun is right about him!

but--

Success or failure is really determined by God.

The failure of "Chinese Heroes" helped another newcomer of DreamWorks Films - Lin Lingdong.

After "Chinese Heroes" was released, Shi Nansheng consulted with Xu Cun, who had been involved in the matter, and changed all the theaters and cinemas that originally screened "Chinese Heroes" into joint screenings of "Dragon and Tiger", which has achieved good results. , so that "Dragon and Tiger" won the box office of 25.6 million Hong Kong dollars in one fell swoop, which is only less than 3 million Hong Kong dollars lower than the box office of "Wealthy Man" directed by Gao Zhisen.

The box office performance of "Dragon and Tiger" in Hong Kong is not a big deal - because "Dragon and Tiger" appeared as a dark horse, before "Dragon and Tiger" got off in Xiangjiang, DreamWorks Film Company The publishing department distributed it to Southeast Asia, Japan, Korea and the mainland. After a round, Lin Lingdong got a share of the box office of 6 or 7 million Hong Kong dollars, and immediately entered a well-off life.

Moreover, considering that "Dragon and Tiger" has achieved such good results, Tang Shuxuan, the general manager of the production department of DreamWorks Films (Xiangjiang Branch), personally found Lin Lingdong and allocated a full production fee of 10 million Hong Kong dollars for Lin Lingdong. Lingdong plans a new movie.

Lin Lingdong had been suppressed in New Art City for many years, and he was full of thoughts. As a result, the day after Tang Shuxuan found Lin Lingdong, Lin Lingdong handed over his filming plan, which was also the culmination of Lin Lingdong's life - "Prison Storm".

All in all, the defeat of Li Lianjie and his "Chinese Heroes" gave Lin Lingdong, who had been struggling for many years in New Art City, a chance to rise.

but--

No matter Li Lianjie or Lin Lingdong, even at the peak of their lives, in Xu Cun's eyes, they are still too small characters, at most they are on Xu Cun's big chessboard It's just two pawns.

Nineteen eighty-six was over.

The time has entered 1987.

That is the tenth year that Xu Cun came to Xiangjiang.

After ten years of hard work, Xu Cun has finally successfully passed the stage of small achievements and entered the era of turbulent times.

(End of Volume 2)

Capuchin:

The second volume is over, and I wanted to open a single chapter to say something, but I am afraid that when you feel like a million-word testimonial, you will be rewarded, so I will just say a few words at the end of the volume.

This volume is over, but this book is still very long. If there is no external influence and the results of this book are acceptable (this is the most important point for the author), I will definitely write it until 2016! ! !

I hope you will support me if you want to read this book until 2016—that is, subscribe to read the original version! ! !

After all, the author who puts everything aside to write a book has to eat, and he has to raise his wife and children with his parents, right?

Okay, let's talk about this first, the next chapter will open a new volume-the wind is surging.
