…

After returning from Taipei, Xu Cun has been busy - busy preparing for the crew of "Sword and Horse", busy dealing with the chores that have been backlogged for more than half a year, and busy selecting the movies to be made by DreamWorks to stabilize those impetuous people......

After being busy for more than half a month, Xu Cun took care of everything else except Chen Xunqi.

In the end, Zeng Zhiwei failed to get the conditions he wanted. In addition, as long as he pays 20% of the remuneration to DreamWorks in accordance with the rules, DreamWorks does not restrict him from going out to take private work. Therefore, after thinking about it for a long time, he chose to stay at DreamWorks.

If you are a person, you don't like the grass on the wall, and Xu Cun is naturally not surprised.

But Zeng Zhiwei, the grass on the wall, is very good at things, not annoying at all, and very capable.

After considering these, Xu Cun didn't know that Zeng Zhiwei secretly hooked up with Lei Juekun.

Of course, it is impossible for Xu Cun to promote Zeng Zhiwei, who has two hearts, like Lin Zhengying, Zhong Zhiwen, and Yuan Kui.

In short, since then, Xu Cun has treated Zeng Zhiwei as an ordinary actor, an ordinary director, and an ordinary screenwriter - neither suppressing nor caring for him.

Compared with Zeng Zhichuan, Chen Xunqi is not easy to deal with.

First of all, Chen Xunqi wanted to set up his own film company not because he really wanted to betray Xu Cun, nor because he wanted to make more money, but because he was full of the curiosity factor that wanted to keep trying new things.

Second, although Chen Xunqi really wants to be the owner of a film company, he is still trying to restrain himself, and he has not tried to win over any of the DreamWorks employees.

Secondly, although Xu Cun's character is not good, he is very nostalgic - in the past two years, Chen Xunqi has served him a lot. Moreover, whenever Xu Cun was in trouble, Chen Xunqi always rushed to the front line.

To be honest, Xu Cun really didn't want to let Chen Xunqi go - if Chen Xunqi hadn't had the intention of leaving, Xu Cun would definitely hand over the sequel to him to direct, and let Zhong Zhiwen and Yuan Kui assist him.

It's a pity that life is not as good as it should be, eight or nine times out of ten, how can everything be as expected?

However, although he knew that Chen Xunqi would leave eight or nine times out of ten, Xu Cun still did not take the initiative to let Chen Xunqi leave.

This is due to his personality - Xu Cun is a selfish villain in his bones, so he will never take the initiative to give up Chen Xunqi, a talented person.

……

The recent period has not been all troubles, but for Xu Cun, there is still a big happy event - the box office results of "ET" in Asia and North America.

Asian side.

Hong kong

"ET" achieved a total of HK$27.5 million at the box office in Hong Kong.

In fact, "ET" has long been painted offline in Golden Harvest and Shaw Brothers Cinemas, but "ET" has always been released in several theaters of Golden Princess, and the number of moviegoers is still continuous, so it has not been delayed until now.

After removing the bottom fee, publicity fee, and miscellaneous expenses, "ET" earned more than 16 million Hong Kong dollars for Xu Cun in Xiangjiang.

Table bend

"ET" has achieved a total of NT$137 million at the box office in Taiwan.

This result is not only double the performance of the previous "ET" in the Taiwan area, but also refreshes the box office record of Taiwan with the overwhelming momentum of Taitai.

The reason why "ET" was able to achieve such brilliant results in the Taiwan area is not only related to the excellent production of "ET" itself, but also related to the national enthusiasm of the people in the Taiwan area inspired by "ET" - in the later stage, the Taiwan authorities even forced all teachers and students in all schools in the Taiwan area to watch "ET".

After removing all the expenses, "ET" earned nearly 50 million Taiwan dollars for Xu Cun in Taiwan.

Nanyang

"ET" grossed a total of $46.2 million at the South Seas.

This result also refreshed the entire Nanyang region (due to some special reasons, "ET" was not released in some areas). box office records.

In addition to the excellent production of "ET" and the arouse of national enthusiasm among the Chinese, this brilliant achievement in the Nanyang region has a lot to do with the joint release of "ET" by Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest.

After removing all expenses, "ET" earned Xu Cun $15 million in the Nanyang region.

Japan

"ET" has achieved a sky-high box office of 19.3 billion yen in Japan. At the same time, "ET" also set a new box office record in Japan. In addition, Japan is also the region where "ET" has achieved the most box office in Asia.

After removing all expenses, "ET" earned nearly 6 billion yen for Xu Cun in Japan.

Korea

"ET" has been watched by 1.72 million people in South Korea - this achievement can definitely be regarded as a miracle in South Korea, which is still very backward today!

After removing all expenses, "ET" earned Xu Cun 6.4 million Hong Kong dollars in South Korea.

In Japan and South Korea, the success of "ET" is also directly related to the excellent production of "ET" and the fact that "ET" is jointly distributed by Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest.

By the way, if there is no Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest joint release of "ET", Xu Cun believes that in Japan and South Korea, including the Nanyang region, "ET" would have to achieve at least 30% less box office.

Total: "ET" grossed $137.55 million in Asia.

"ET" earned Xu Cun a total of 220 million Hong Kong dollars in Asia, which translates to 44 million US dollars (this does not deduct the production cost and publicity expenses of "ET").

From the Asian side alone, the achievements of "ET" are indeed not small, and can even be said to be terrifying! However, compared with North America, the achievements of "ET" in Asia are a bit inadequate.

North America

In North America, "ET" was released for nearly 70 days and grossed $310 million.

This is 40 to 50 million dollars less than the previous ET's performance in North America.

In this regard, Xu Cun has been mentally prepared - after all, Xu Cun is not Spielberg's pure beauty G.

According to the box office distribution ratio that Xu Cun discussed with Longmayer before, Xu Cun could get a total of 88.35 million US dollars from the North American box office.

The production cost of "ET" was 118 million Hong Kong dollars, which is 15.73 million in US dollars.

The cost of promoting "ET" is $16 million, and after Xu Cun and Universal Pictures each bear half of it, Xu Cun only needs to pay $8 million.

In other words, the total cost of "ET" is $23.73 million.

In Asia and North America, Xu Cun received a total of $132.35 million.

After deducting the cost of "ET", "ET" earned Xu Cun a total of more than 108 million US dollars.

And this profit of more than 108 million US dollars is not the final profit that Xu Cun earned with "ET". Because, not only will "ET" be released in Central and South America and Europe soon, but Xu Cun's old friend Alan Ryder Jr. is also actively negotiating with Xu Cun's client Jeffrey for the sale and purchase agreement of "ET" copyright.
