Rebirth of the Great Entertainment Empire

Chapter 94: 100 million production fee

"Beautiful Girl" is finished.

Before filming "Pretty Girl", Xu Cun never thought that "Pretty Girl" would take more than half a year to shoot, and he never thought that "Pretty Girl", which had a budget of 1.5 million Hong Kong dollars, actually took 350 It was sold for more than 100,000 Hong Kong dollars.

In this regard, Chen Xunqi couldn't express his shame, and he also began to reflect on whether he was a qualified film director.

Xu Cun didn't blame Chen Xunqi, and of course he didn't encourage Chen Xunqi's behavior. He just said four words to Chen Xunqi in a non-trivial and serious way - the following is not an example.

For post-production, Xu Cun gave some suggestions based on his experience in two lifetimes and the original version of "Pretty Girl". But how to edit it, Xu Cun left it to Chen Xunqi and Mai Zaishan.

Mak Tsai-shan started working in a film color printing company at the age of fourteen. Five years later, he began to work as a film editor. In the mid-1980s, he became Xu Ke's royal editor. He won the Best Editing Award at the Film Awards twice, and his apprentices such as Lin An'er and others have also become famous scissors in Hong Kong.

Mak Tsai Shan's cuts are like running water, magnificent, and the atmosphere and sense of speed are absolutely rare in other films. In the future, Mak Tsai Shan will have the reputation of "the first scissors in Hong Kong".

Mak Tsai Shan once said: "At that time, there were no major productions in Hong Kong Films. Of the more than 50 films in Hong Kong, I cut more than 30 of them." This shows Mak Tsai Shan's editing skills.

After the production of "Beautiful Girl", Xu Cun did not let it be released immediately.

The reason why Xu Cun did this was because he didn't want "Beautiful Girl" to go head-to-head with "Fu Xing Gao Zhao", which was completed immediately.

The cast of "Fu Xing Gao Zhao" is too huge. Although "Beautiful Girl" has its own unique features, if it encounters "Fu Xing Gao Zhao", it will definitely be crushed.

In the process of filming "Fu Xing Gao Zhao", Zeng Zhiwei finally took out the script "Kick the Pavilion" which he discussed with the screenwriter of DreamWorks.

The original "Kick Hall" was just a slightly interesting kung fu film.

After the influence of Xu Cun and the improvement of the screenwriters of DreamWorks, although "Kicking Pavilion" is still a kung fu film, its plot is more plump than the previous life.

Moreover, Xu Cun also promised Zeng Zhiwei to let Zeng Zhiwei shoot "Kick the Pavilion" after the filming of "Fu Xing Gao Zhao".

The protagonists of "Kick the Pavilion" are Liang Xiaolong and Dong Wei, the male villain is played by Zhong Fa, and the heroine is played by Xixie Michiko.

Liang Xiaolong and Dong Wei both have real kung fu. There is no problem with acting in kung fu films. The problem is the heroine - originally, Xu Cun planned to let Li Saifeng play the role, but the heroine in the script that Zeng Zhiwei and the others developed was a restaurant proprietress, Li Saifeng too The face is tender and not suitable for this role at all, so Xu Cun personally ordered Michiko to play the role.

The other actors are all from Xu Jiaban, the Raptors stunt team and the contracted actors of DreamWorks, and Zhong Zhen is the producer.

Zeng Zhiwei asked Xu Cun for a production fee of 1 million Hong Kong dollars, and Xu Cun gave him 1.2 million Hong Kong dollars and asked him to work harder on quality.

In addition to "Kicking the Pavilion", DreamWorks is also planning to film "Pointing Soldiers" directed by Xin Langchao director Zhang Guoming and screenplayed by Chen Xinjian.

Zhang Guoming and Chen Xinjian were introduced by Cui Baozhu, and they came with the script. Xu Cun had read the script of "Pointing Soldiers" and felt good. For the first time, he didn't point fingers at the script of "Pointing Soldiers".

In terms of actors, Xu Cun personally ordered Li Xiuxian and Shenxian.

Needless to say, the immortal is a member of the Xu family.

Li Xiuxian's ancestral home is Shantou, Guangdong, and he was born in Shanghai. He moved to Hong Kong with his parents since he was a child. Due to his poor family background, he could only live in the middle and lower classes.

When Li Xiuxian was young, he saw the big and small hooligans running rampant in the city wall every day, and he felt a lot of injustice. He really hoped that he could become a police officer and rectify the social order.

In the fourth grade of middle school, Li Xiuxian had to drop out of school in order to take care of the family. He wanted to apply for the police academy, but was resolutely stopped by his mother, who was worried about her son's safety, and failed to do so. Since then, he has been living in the society to work for a living, and the longest one has been a worker who installed aluminum windows. Later, Shaw Brothers set up an artist training class to train film actors for Shaw Brothers Pictures. Li Xiuxian successfully took the exam and became the first trainee.

The police role played by Li Xiuxian impressed Xu Cun very deeply, so Xu Cun asked people to find Li Xiuxian.

However, as a disciple of the great director Zhang Che, Li Xiuxian did not agree to join DreamWorks, but only intended for a salary of 10,000 Hong Kong dollars to appear in "Pointing Soldiers".

At this time, Li Xiuxian was already well-known, and his salary was at least 30,000 Hong Kong dollars. Therefore, being willing to star in "Dianzhibingbing" for 10,000 Hong Kong dollars shows that he really likes the movie "Dianzhibingbing".

After hesitating for a moment, Xu Cuncai agreed to hire Li Xiuxian with 10,000 Hong Kong dollars to star in "Pointing Soldiers".

The other actors of "Pointing to the Bingbing" were also found among the actors of Xu Jiaban, the Raptors' stunt team and DreamWorks. The staff are also held by the second-tier team of DreamWorks, and the producer is concurrently held by Zhang Guozhong.

Since Zeng Zhiwei was still recording Xu Cun on the spot, "Dianzhibingbing" started first.

At the same time that "Dianzhibingbing" was launched, Xu Cun also asked Zhang Guoming, the director of "Dianzhibingbing", to help him introduce a person - Tang Shuxuan.

After Tang Shuxuan's film "The Tycoon Story" was completed, it was renamed "The Nouveau riche" a while ago due to the lack of theaters. It was a pity that it failed miserably at the box office.

At this time, Tang Shuxuan was completely disheartened and was about to immigrate to the United States with her boyfriend to open a restaurant.

Tang Shuxuan was very surprised by Xu Cun's meeting. He didn't understand why Xu Cun was looking for her?

However, out of curiosity about Xu Cun, Tang Shuxuan was invited.

In a coffee shop in Central.

Xu Cun looked at the noble and elegant Tang Shuxuan with a lot of emotion - this woman is definitely the director with the most artistic achievements in Heungkong, worthy of being tied with the world's first-class directors, and she is definitely an important factor in promoting the development of Heungkong's films.

When Xu Cun was looking at Tang Shuxuan, Tang Shuxuan was also looking at Xu Cun—she was very curious about how Xu Cun, a young man who was nearly twenty years younger than her, could achieve such a brilliant achievement in just two years?

After looking at each other for a while, Xu Cun said in a voice that seemed to possess magic power: "Sister Tang, although it is very presumptuous, I still have to keep you. I want to play a big game with all the wealth of DreamWorks, so I am willing to invite you. Sister Tang, can you stay and help me."

Xu Cun's endless words made Tang Shuxuan a little confused. After a while, she said in a puzzled tone, "Please also ask Mr. Xu to speak clearly."

Xu Cun sat up straight and said, "I want to go to Hollywood to make a big production with a production fee of 100 million Hong Kong dollars. I want to invite Sister Tang to be one of the assistant directors and producers of this film."

As soon as Xu Cun's words came out, he was as calm as Tang Shuxuan and was shocked! She asked subconsciously, "What movie needs to cost 100 million yuan to make?"
