The box office results of the Christmas stalls have made the entire Xiangjiang film circle collectively confused, and many filmmakers and film companies don't even dare to make any more films!

The reasons for the box office downturn of Hong Kong films are actually extremely complex, there are external factors such as the shrinking of the film market in other cities and the eastward expansion of Hollywood films, as well as the internal reasons for the emergence of piracy and the beginning of the popularization of VCDs, no one can completely explain clearly, in short, the current situation of the Xiangjiang film market is that in addition to big directors, big stars, and big-production blockbusters, ordinary Hong Kong films, Xiangjiang citizens are no longer much interested in going into the theater and cinema to watch it.

In this case, some small theaters and small movie theaters couldn't hold on to it at first, and fell into the embarrassing situation of having no films to show and losing money if there were films.

As a result, at the end of 1994, there was another wave of cinemas and cinemas closing their doors -- after New Year's Day in 1995, the number of cinemas and cinemas in Hong Kong had plummeted from more than 180 at its peak to more than 110, a decrease of nearly half from its peak.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, under the instruction of Xu Cun, He Chaoqiong personally came forward to buy fifteen of the best theaters and cinemas in the area, and then demolished and built the world's most advanced multiplex cinema, and joined the DreamWorks (Xiangjiang) Cinema Line, so that the DreamWorks (Xiangjiang) Cinema Line has 53 of the world's most advanced cinemas and multiplex cinemas, becoming a super-large cinema chain that can compete with other cinemas in Xiangjiang.

The most beautiful movie in the 1995 Chinese New Year file is undoubtedly Cheng Long's "Red Fan District" - only in Xiangjiang City, "Red Fan District" has achieved a box office of more than 57 million Hong Kong dollars, with the help of Xu Cun, the global box office of "Red Fan District" is as high as more than 230 million US dollars, far exceeding the more than 60 million US dollars in the previous life, in addition, Cheng Long finally got his wish to enter the European and American film markets under the name Jackie Chan.

By the way, relying on "Red Fan District", Golden Harvest's stock has risen a lot, and it has steadily become the second largest film company in Xiangjiang and one of the world's famous film companies.

But—

Unlike the previous generation at this stage of Golden Harvest in order to make money in the stock market to expand the production of films (the previous generation of Golden Harvest participated in investment or produced as many as 66 films this year), this life under the auspices of the steady Zou Chongjin, Golden Harvest not only did not take advantage of the momentum of "Red Fan District" to expand production, on the contrary, it also sharply reduced from 28 films last year, that is, in 1994, to 18 films.

It is fair to say here that Zou Chongjin is not only stable - while reducing the amount of films made by Golden Harvest, Zou Chongjin also announced that Golden Harvest will prepare to shoot "X-Men 2" to stabilize the stock price.

In short, Zou Chongjin is much stronger than Zou Chongyan.

There are three other differences between the Lunar New Year stalls in this life and the Lunar New Year stalls in the previous life:

The first difference is that "Journey to the West", which was released in this year's Lunar New Year file in the previous life, was not released under Xu Cun's instructions, and was suppressed indefinitely - in this regard, there are many rumors from the outside world, some people say that during the filming of "Journey to the West", Zhou Xingchi angered Xu Cun and was blocked by Xu Cun, and some people said, "Journey to the West" There is sensitive content, and it can't be reviewed in many places, so it can't be released, the most outrageous statement is that Xu Cun is jealous of Zhou Xingchi's talent and is afraid of being caught up by Zhou Xingchi, so he suppressed Zhou Xingchi's pinnacle work "Journey to the West", in short, the discussion and speculation about "Journey to the West" has never ended, covering a veil of mystery for "Journey to the West", and at the same time, it also makes more people look forward to "Journey to the West"!

The second difference is that the box office runner-up of this year's Lunar New Year stalls is not the previous life's "Full of Gold" - although the new art city under the auspices of Huang Baiming still filmed "Full of Gold", however, the 31 million local box office of "Full of Gold" only made it the fourth place in this year's Lunar New Year, and the second place is "Captain America 2" produced by DreamWorks.

The third difference is that the new era of "Soul Chariot 2" has achieved a box office of more than 46 million in Xiangjiang City, becoming the third place in the box office of Xiangjiang City during this year's Chinese New Year.

In addition, DreamWorks also released a blockbuster news after the year, DreamWorks officially planned to shoot the big movie "Avengers", which gathered Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, Hulk, Black Widow, and Hawkeye, to reject the sluggish Xiangjiang Film Market.

The heavy blows of the four major film companies of DreamWorks, Golden Harvest, New Art City, and New Era gave some confidence to the Xiangjiang filmmakers, so that the Xiangjiang film market in this life did not completely collapse in 1995......

……

As soon as the Spring Festival in 1995 passed, Xu Cun took his family to Musa Island for more than a month off.

After the holiday on Musa Island, Xu Cun did not return to Xiangjiang or Beijing, but flew to the United States with his daughters.

Xu Cun went to the United States for three reasons:

The first is to personally maintain Xu Cun's connections in the United States, so as not to affect his huge investment in the United States, the second is to personally take a look at the development of Yahoo, and by the way, talk to Yang Zhiyuan and David Ferry about Yahoo's future development route, and the third is that Xu Cun saw a movie - "This Killer Is Not Too Cold".

Needless to say, to personally maintain Xu Cun's connections in the United States and talk to Yang Zhiyuan and David Philo about Yahoo's development route, there are some things that he can't escape before Xu Cun officially retires.

As for "This Killer Is Not Too Cold", to be honest, Xu Cun once thought of directing the movie "This Killer Is Not Too Cold" himself.

But—

Because Xu Cun was too busy, he accidentally forgot about this movie, and then missed this good movie.

Missing a movie is nothing to Xu Cun, even if it is "This Killer Is Not Too Cold".

But Xu Cun is willing to miss "This Killer is Not Too Cold", but he is not willing to miss the heroine Natalie Portman in "This Killer is Not Too Cold" - the beautiful goddess of Jerusalem.

In addition, after seeing the beautiful Jerusalem goddess Natalie Portman, Xu Cun suddenly found that several other European and American female goddesses had also debuted, such as the black widow Scarlett Johansson in the previous "Avengers", and the sexy stunner Jessica Alba, and then the sweet princess Anne Hathaway, who has Audrey Hepburn-style elegance and Judy Garland-style brightness, and so on......

In other words, before Xu Cun knew it, a group of European and American goddesses had grown up.

In this life, Xu Cun's definition of his life is that he has struggled for his life for Niu Sheng, Niu Die for Niu and Niu all his life, how can he let go of these European and American goddesses?

Besides, Xu Cun, who has always played with oriental women, also wants to change his taste!

Therefore, at the end of March 1995, Xu Cun flew directly to the United States from Musa Island with his daughters......
