Chapter Seventy-Four: The Great Earthquake

"Taking the Wrong Car" was released in Taiwan, and it was not as smooth as Xu Cun imagined.

At this time, it was difficult for realistic film and television works to pass the review in Taiwan, but all films that focus on reality can only be supported by the authorities with inspirational and positive content.

Yu Kanping took "The Wrong Car" for the first time and was directly shot by the electric inspection office in Taiwan, saying that a movie with this theme must not be released.

At that time, "The Wrong Car" had already begun to be promoted, and even the release date was set.

Later, Cai Songlin and Wang Yingxiang came forward to solve this trouble by trusting a lot of relationships.

To be honest, if "The Wrong Car" was not a DreamWorks movie, Cai Songlin and Wang Yingxiang would not have bothered to do this, and the reason why they went to great lengths to help "The Wrong Car" pass the review was to maintain long-term cooperation with Xu Cun.

Xu Cun understands the truth of repaying Li with a peach - after "Taking the Wrong Car" passed the trial, he personally called Cai Songlin and Wang Yingxiang to thank him, and discussed with them on the phone the feasibility of "Royal Senior Sister" being released at the same time in Xiangjiang and Taiwan.

Cai Songlin and Wang Yingxiang are both smart people, how could they not know the intention of Xu Cun's move?

Since then, "The Wrong Car" has been in full swing.

Two weeks later, "The Wrong Car" was released just in time.

The publicity cost of "The Wrong Car" is 5 million Taiwan dollars, which is converted into 1 million Hong Kong dollars, which is unprecedented in the current Taiwan bend, and there are big-name stars like Lin Qingxia participating in the show. Therefore, as soon as "The Wrong Car" was released, the attendance rate of each theater reached more than 90%.

There is a strange phenomenon in the current stage - once a realistic movie can be successfully released and the plot is very good, it will be followed by a huge sensation, and it will inevitably cause a huge success. For example: "The Duck Farmer" in the 60s, "A Boat in the Ocean" two years ago.

The sensation generated by the release of "The Wrong Car" is better than that of "Duck Farmer" and "A Boat in the Ocean"!

Audiences who are tired of watching martial arts and love movies suddenly found that "The Wrong Car", a movie close to their real life, immediately walked into the cinema with friends.

In less than a month after its release, the box office of "The Wrong Car" reached 15 million Taiwan dollars, and it was full of stamina.

Cai Songlin and Wang Yingxiang are even optimistic that "The Wrong Car" may surpass "Mr. Zombie" to become the box office champion of Taiwan Bend this year.

After thinking this, Cai Songlin and Wang Yingxiang began to be glad that Xu Cun could find them as partners.

At the same time as "The Wrong Car" was released, Su Rui and her sang "If the Wine Sells Nothing", "The Same Moonlight", "Whether", "Please Follow Me" are also popular.

These songs can be heard all over Taiwan, especially on campuses.

On the Chinese song list of Taiwan, "If the Wine Sells Nothing" and "The Same Moonlight" have always occupied the top spot, and even the title song of Teresa Teng's new album can only honestly rank behind.

It didn't take long for "The Wrong Car" to be characterized as a watershed between the era of campus folk songs and the era of modern pop music, and it was another revolution in the Taiwan music scene.

Su Rui has a terrifying fan base in just a few days, and her popularity is straight to Teresa Teng and Liu Wenzheng.

DreamWorks Records (Taiwan Branch) took advantage of the shareholder trend of "Taking the Wrong Car" to gain a firm foothold in Taiwan in one fell swoop, and the "Wrong Car" album also brought the first considerable income to DreamWorks Records (Taiwan Branch).

Luo Dayou, Wu Chu, Peng Guohua, and Chen Dali were not satisfied, they asked Xu Cun for another 10 million Taiwan dollars, and began to frantically build DreamWorks Records (Taiwan Branch......

……

The hot wind of "Taking the Wrong Car" soon blew to Xiangjiang.

After learning that "The Wrong Car" was a film made by DreamWorks, the people of Xiangjiang began to be in an uproar - they couldn't figure out why the film made by Xiangjiang Film Company would be released in Taiwan Bend first.

Soon, the news of Xu Cun and Shao Yifu's parting ways was dug up by major media, and then the people of Xiangjiang suddenly realized.

Next, the people of Xiangjiang began to speculate whether Xu Cun would switch to Golden Harvest like Xu Guanwen back then.

All of a sudden, the whereabouts of DreamWorks attracted a lot of attention, and even "Royal Senior Sister" and "Pretty Girl" also attracted huge attention.

In the face of this sudden attention, Xu Cun, who was originally devoted to filming "Royal Senior Sister" and living a shameless life with the newly arrived Hu Yan, decided to hold a press conference.

In order to promote "Royal Senior Sister", the venue for holding a press conference was set at No. 249 Haizhu Middle Road.

As soon as this location was announced, it immediately caused a major earthquake in the Xiangjiang film circle.

For no other reason, No. 249 Haizhu Middle Road is the location of the leading cinema of the Lisheng Cinema Line.

Lisheng Cinemas is the third largest Chinese-language cinema line in Xiangjiang, and in terms of the number of theaters, Lisheng Cinemas is not inferior to Shaw Brothers Cinemas and Golden Harvest Cinemas, but because Lei Juekun, the owner of Lisheng Cinemas, is not involved in film investment and does not do film distribution, and Lisheng Cinemas can almost only screen some films produced by independent companies, so on the one hand, the profits are quite limited, and on the other hand, they are more often worried about the unstable source of films, and as a result, Lisheng Cinemas has won the name of "glass line" in the industry.

Now, DreamWorks is the most popular film company in Hong Kong, and Lisheng Cinemas has the most theaters in Hong Kong, what kind of terrible effect will the combination of the two be?

Soon, everyone's speculation was confirmed - at the same time that Xu Cun announced that he would hold a press conference, Lei Juekun, the behind-the-scenes boss of Lisheng Cinema, also announced in the newspaper that he would hold a press conference at Lisheng Cinema, and the two set the same time.

As a result, reporters who smelled the big news flocked to the Lisheng Theater.

As soon as they arrived at the Lisheng Cinema, the hearts of the reporters were on fire - the Lisheng Cinema was renovated, with neon signs, firecrackers, and even the signboard was transformed into the Golden Princess Cinema. After entering the Lisheng Theater, the reporters saw many celebrities in Hong Kong. A qiē and a qiē all show that Lisheng Cinemas and DreamWorks must have big moves.

When the press conference was about to start, Xu Cun and Lei Juekun each appeared in a set of festive clothes, and behind them were Chen Rongmei and Feng Bingzhong, who were also wearing festive clothes.

Standing in front of the podium prepared in advance, Lei Juekun announced in a high-profile manner before a group of reporters asked: "I announce that eighteen theaters, including Lisheng Cinema, Kaisheng Cinema, and Jinhong Cinema, will form the Golden Princess Cinema Line. I am announcing that Golden Princess Cinemas will become a long-term strategic partner with DreamWorks. I announced that DreamWorks' "The Wrong Car" will be screened in full at Golden Princess Cinemas at midnight the day after tomorrow. I announced that DreamWorks' "Royal Sister" and "Pretty Girl" will be screened in Golden Princess Cinemas one after another after "The Wrong Car". I am announcing that DreamWorks will have no less than two more films released in Golden Princess Theaters this year. I am announcing that no less than seven DreamWorks films will be released in Golden Princess Theaters next year. ”

Lei Juekun's six announcements immediately ignited the atmosphere of the press conference, and the reporters present asked Lei Juekun, Xu Cun, Chen Rongmei, and Feng Bingzhong questions one after another.

And people of insight are secretly shouting: "The third largest film force in Xiangjiang may be about to appear!" ”
