Xu Cun's office. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Looking at Xu Cun, whose appearance has hardly changed from five years ago, Wu Yusen is full of emotion!

Five years ago, it was the time when he Wu Yusen was at his most energetic - that year, his "Fa Qian Han" won the runner-up at the annual box office of Xiangjiang films with a box office result of 5 million Hong Kong dollars, so he became the most famous new director in Xiangjiang that year. What makes him most proud is that Xu Cun, the first person in the Xiangjiang film and television industry, was his assistant director at that time!

In the years that followed, his films "Harrow, Homecoming at Night", "The Big Evil Star and the Little Girl", "Heroes" and "Funny Times" also achieved good box office, and he became a first-class director in Hong Kong with these films.

And yet—

Flowers are not red for a hundred days, and people are not good for a thousand days.

In 82, he was ordered to shoot "Colorful Lin Yazhen" for Golden Harvest and fight "Little Fear" in Xinyi City, but the box office lost nearly 9 million Hong Kong dollars.

The following year, during the filming of "Heroes Without Tears", he caused an actor to be shot due to the use of live ammunition.

In addition, the fact that he directed the first work "Funny Times" after the establishment of New Art City under the name of Wu Shangfei was known by Golden Harvest.

These made his "Heroes Without Tears" and him were hidden by Golden Harvest.

Later, at the beginning of this year, he joined Xinyicheng - he thought that there was a film to be made in Xinyicheng, but he didn't expect that he would be exiled to the Taiwan area by Xinyicheng, and he spends his days spinning in marginal market comedies such as "Two Tigers" and "Laughing Craftsman".

In this way, he has become a famous box office poison, and some people have even persuaded him to retire, and some people have even told him to go home and watch the video to see how others make movies.

In this case, desperate, he finally lowered his proud head and begged Xu Cun, who had been with him.

Honestly –

If he hadn't been cornered, Wu Yusen would never have come to beg Xu Cun - as long as he thought of the scene when he nodded to Xu Cun, who had bowed down to him, he couldn't help but retreat.

But nodding to Xu Cun is much better than sinking here, right?

So, Wu Yusen came to Xu Cun.

……

personally poured a glass of water for Wu Yusen, and then Xu Cun looked at Wu Yusen and said, "Director Wu, do you know how long I have been waiting for you?" ”

Hearing Xu Cun's inexplicable words, Wu Yusen was stunned! Immediately, Wu Yusen looked at Xu Cun with some puzzlement!

Xu Cun stretched out a finger and said, "One year, a whole year, when I directed "The True Colors of Heroes" at the end of last year, I was thinking, if Director Wu was in DreamWorks, I wouldn't have to direct "The True Colors of Heroes" myself. ”

Xu Cun's words made Wu Yusen's heart warm - "The True Color of Heroes" is the only film in Xiangjiang that has grossed more than 40 million Hong Kong dollars so far, and it is also the highest-grossing film in Xiangjiang so far, and it is also known as the best Xiangjiang movie. Xu Cun said, 'If Director Wu were in DreamWorks, I wouldn't have to direct "The True Color of Heroes" myself. Obviously, he is saying that he Wu Yusen can also direct the movie "The True Color of Heroes". This is definitely a very high praise for a Hong Kong director! In addition, Xu Cun said these words at this time, which also shows that Xu Cun has the intention of accepting him Wu Yusen. How does this not make Wu Yusen, who has been branded as 'box office poison', feel hot?

Therefore, Wu Yusen, who took the water handed over by Xu Cun, hesitated for a moment, then stood up from his seat, bowed to Xu Cun and said, "Mr. Xu, please reward me with a bowl of rice to eat!" ”

Seeing Wu Yusen like this, Xu Cun hurriedly walked to Wu Yusen's side and pressed Wu Yusen back to his seat, and said at the same time: "If you hadn't given Xu Cun a chance back then, I wouldn't have been where I am today, if you do this, you will torture me!" ”

After Wu Yusen sat down, Xu Cun sat back in his place, and then said: "I won't talk nonsense, Director Wu, come here, DreamWorks will open a sequel to "The True Color of Heroes", and you will be the director of the sequel to "The True Color of Heroes", and the script of the sequel to "The True Color of Heroes" will also be co-created by you and the screenwriters of DreamWorks, and the behind-the-scenes personnel and cast will be selected by you. All in all, the sequel to True Colors is yours to take care of. ”

As soon as Xu Cun's words came out, Wu Yusen subconsciously said: "I am fully responsible for the sequel to "The True Color of Heroes"? ”

Xu Cun looked at Wu Yusen and said, "Didn't I say it clearly enough just now?" ”

Wu Yusen hurriedly shook his head and said, "No! No! It's just that "The True Color of Heroes" is a movie that you have directed yourself, Mr. Xu......"

Xu Cun interrupted Wu Yusen with a smile: "I have a very bad habit, I don't like to direct the same type of movie, and I have a lot of things, and it is more and more difficult to direct movies with peace of mind, so I still spend my limited time digging out new types of movies." ”

Listening to what Xu Cun said, Wu Yusen was overjoyed at the same time, and couldn't help but have infinite admiration for Xu Cun, who was committed to innovation - now, Wu Yusen finally knows why Xu Cun can direct "Happy Ghost", "Mr. Zombie", "Royal Sister", "ET", "Home Alone", "Human Ghost Love", "God of Gamblers", "True Colors of Heroes", "Back to the Future" These excellent movies.

……

DreamWorks Cinemas and Shuangnan Cinemas are each other's backup cinema chains, which has both advantages and disadvantages for DreamWorks.

Take the release of "Back to the Future" this time as an example: without the support of Shuangnan Cinemas, "Back to the Future" would not have been able to achieve a box office of more than 36 million Hong Kong dollars in Xiangjiang, nor would it be possible to trample "The Owl and Dumbo" and "Merry Christmas" under their feet.

But—

DreamWorks can't use Shuangnan Cinemas in vain – during the Christmas season, Shuangnan Cinemas screened "Back to the Future" without reservation. In return, in the Lunar New Year, DreamWorks Theaters has to release Yindu's "Shaolin Kid". In other words, DreamWorks has to withdraw from this year's Lunar New Year file battle and stand in the audience to watch Golden Harvest, New Art City, and Yindu compete for hegemony.

This will definitely bring a certain loss to DreamWorks - DreamWorks is not without good movies, Lin Zhengying's "Mr. Zombie 3" produced at a cost of 40 million Hong Kong dollars is fully qualified to compete with "The Best Filming Queen's Secret Order", "Shaolin Kid", and "Teppanyaki", and is also qualified to gain the fame that matches it in the Lunar New Year, and then go overseas to attract money, but because there is no theater, "Mr. Zombie 3" will not be able to play in this prime time.

This is also one of the reasons why Xu Cun wants to buy Shaw Brothers Cinemas - even if DreamWorks Cinemas has half a Shaw Brothers Cinema Line, Xu Cun does not need to borrow a theater from Shuangnan Cinemas, and then he does not have to stand aside to watch the excitement in the Lunar New Year.

But—

It's not that DreamWorks really has nothing to do with the good Chinese New Year - with the full cooperation of local governments in the mainland, DreamWorks' 25 movie theaters in the mainland can already be put into use. In other words, during the Spring Festival, "Dao Ma Dan" and "ET" can be released in the mainland.
