Chapter 186: Rumors Spread
I have a cold and fever, and I couldn't write that chapter, so I'll send that chapter tomorrow morning, so please forgive me.
Rich people are not so nice locally!
It was only seven years of junior high school, and Xu Cun returned to DreamWorks to set up the movie that DreamWorks would shoot this year.
……
Xu Cun's first film was "The Story of Hu Yue" applied by Xu Anhua, who had just returned to DreamWorks.
got the script of "The Story of Hu Yue" sent by Tang Shuxuan and Xu Anhua, Xu Cun was in great trouble!
"The Story of Hu Yue" tells the story of Hu Yue, a young Vietnamese Chinese who fled to Hong Kong after the Vietnam War to meet a pen pal he had never met.
The trouble is not because "The Story of Hu Yue" is not good or has no selling points, but because "The Story of Hu Yue" has committed a big taboo of Xu Cun - being involved in politics.
Therefore, Xu Cun really didn't want to invest in "Hu Yue's Story".
can see the posture of Tang Shuxuan and Xu Anhua together, Xu Cun knows that it is unlikely not to invest in "The Story of Hu Yue"!
Although he knew that the result was unlikely to change, Xu Cun still made a final effort - he said to Tang Shuxuan and Xu Anhua with a smile on his face: "Two eldest sisters, let's shoot something else, okay?" I'll give you an extra budget, three, no, a budget of five million Hong Kong dollars, as long as we don't make this movie that involves politics. ”
Seeing that Xu Cun, a billionaire, was smiling with a smile on his face and discussing with himself to change the theme, Tang Shuxuan and Xu Anhua also wavered a little. But this vacillation was soon burned to ashes by their passion for art!
Xu Anhua said: "Mr. Xu, you promised that you would respect the subject I chose. ”
Afraid that Xu Cun would not agree, Tang Shuxuan exclaimed Xu Cun and said, "Ah Cun, you shouldn't be able to speak and don't count, right?" Well...... You gave me the right to invest in a movie at will, shouldn't it? ”
Tang Shuxuan and Xu Anhua were both personally invited back by Xu Cun - at this moment, Xu Cun suddenly had a feeling of lifting a stone and shooting himself in the foot!
has already said this, Xu Cun knows that "The Story of Hu Yue" should be filmed. So, he turned his face and said, "Is a budget of one million Hong Kong dollars enough for you?" ”
Xu Anhua has already calculated it - save a province, and the budget of one million Hong Kong dollars should be almost enough for her to shoot "The Story of Hu Yue".
Therefore, Xu Anhua immediately agreed: "Enough! ”
Xu Anhua agreed too quickly, which made Tang Shuxuan, who was willing to help Xu Anhua get more budget, before he had time to interject.
Seeing that the card budget could not change Xu Anhua's determination to shoot "The Story of Hu Yue", Xu Cun sighed secretly: "It's really useless to talk about money with people who don't want money, only ideals. ”
Thinking of Xu Anhua's experience of leading people to shoot "The Story of Hu Yue" in the previous life, and thinking that Zhong Chuhong would be one of the actors, Xu Cun's tone eased and said: "Give you a budget of 1.5 million Hong Kong dollars, don't treat the actors badly, it's not enough to ...... Say. ”
When the words came to his lips, Xu Cun changed the word "add" to "say again" - Xu Cun knew filmmakers like Tang Shuxuan and Xu Anhua too well, and knew that they were a group of people who were both selfless and selfish.
They are said to be selfless because they never think about their own interests. They are said to be selfish because they never think about the interests of their investors.
Therefore, if they don't set an upper limit, they may bring Xu Cun as big a 'surprise' as Wang Jiawei's filming of "East Becomes West".
……
Xu Cun's second film is a sequel to "Happy Ghost".
Actually,
The sequel to "Happy Ghost" is long overdue.
But Gao Zhisen, the director and screenwriter of the sequel to "Happy Ghost", had a car accident last year, so the sequel to "Happy Ghost" was delayed to filming this year.
At present, Gao Zhisen has almost recovered. So, it won't be long before the sequel to "Happy Ghost" will be launched.
……
Xu Cun's third film is Yu Yunkang's "Murder List".
After "Mountain Dog" hit the street, Yu Yunkang learned from the pain and decided to make a comeback with "Murder List".
……
Xu Cun's fourth film is Yuan Kui's "Dragon Ninja".
The results of "Male and Female Thieves" are good, and Xu Cun gave directors Zhong Zhiwen and Yuan Kui a big red envelope of 1 million Hong Kong dollars each.
After Zhong Zhiwen got the red envelope, he took his girlfriend on a trip around the world.
The ambitious Yuan Kui hurried out of the script for "Dragon Ninja" - he was eager to direct a film on his own.
Xu Cun agreed with Yuan Kui to direct "Dragon Ninja" independently, but Xu Cun did not approve of the script that Yuan Kui brought.
Later, Yuan Kui sent the script of "Dragon Ninja" to the screenwriting team for Huang Bingyao and others to revise repeatedly before they could get through.
……
Xu Cunding's fifth film is "Chasing Girls" directed by Wang Jing.
This "Chasing Girls" is actually "Hardcover Chasing Girls 2". Starring Andy Lau, Zeng Zhiwei, Chen Baixiang, Feng Qufan, Wang Jing and several beauties.
To be honest, "Hardcover Chasing Girls 2" actually has no connotation, and the jokes are very average in later generations, but its box office is really good.
"Chasing Girls" is the same as "Hardcover Chasing Girls 2", it has no connotation, and the jokes are very average in later generations, but it is also good at the box office.
Xu Cun is ready to use "Hardcover Chasing Girls 2" to snipe "Chasing Girls" in Xinyi City - Xu Cun does not have high requirements for Wang Jing, just don't lose. Wang Jing is just a rookie director, as long as he can beat the gang of people in Xinyi City, Lei Juekun can't cross the river and tear down the bridge because of "Chasing Girls".
Of course, Xu Cun can't not help Wang Jing at all.
First of all, Xu Cun, who has always believed in taking other people's paths so that others have no way out, helped Wang Jing preempt the name "Chasing Girls", so that Wang Jing can rightfully become the ancestor of chasing girls' movies.
Secondly, in order to build momentum for Wang Jing, Xu Cun is ready to match Wang Jing with several super beauties.
……
The remaining 39.8 percent of Lishi's shares are very scattered -- Xu Shixun, the father of Xu Jingheng, the king of the ship, who is also the most merry man, holds 6.8 percent, Yongan Guo Zhiliang holds 5.3 percent, and several British-funded groups such as Jardine Matheson and Standard Chartered hold 27.7 percent.
Zhou Liang Shuyi and her husband Zhou Mingquan have a very high status in the Chinese circle in Hong Kong. Under the mediation of Zhou Liang Shuyi, Xu Cun spent HK$21 million and HK$15 million respectively to buy Lishi shares from Hui Shixun and Guo Zhiliang.
Then, Xu Cun's stake in Lishi reached 73.3 percent.
But-
With the other 27.7 percent of Lishi's shares, Zhou Liang Shuyi is a little powerless -- she really can't talk to several British-funded groups such as Jardine Matheson and Standard Chartered.
In this regard, Xu Cun is not worried at all!
Although Yingli's call was not revealed, they sold Lishi's shares to Xu Cun, but the gossip that Lishi changed hands still came out.
As a result, rumors spread within Lishi, people were panicked, and they had no intention of working from top to bottom.
Faced with such a situation, Huang Xizhao, who was the general manager of Lishi at the time, immediately asked the voice of the major shareholder Yingli to come forward to refute the rumors and stabilize the hearts of the people.
But Ying's voice repeatedly shirked Huang Xizhao's request.
How can someone who can be the general manager of Lishi be a fool? According to Ying's attitude, he guessed that the news was mostly true, and then guessed that his position as the general manager of Lishi was at the end of his life - this is an obvious thing, if the new owner wants him Huang Xizhao to continue to serve as the general manager of Lishi, how can he not contact him?
After figuring these things out, Huang Xizhao became so disheartened that he had no intention of taking care of Lishi, so the situation of the director became worse and the ratings dropped sharply, which led many advertisers to break off their cooperation with Lishi.
In just a few weeks, Lishi went from a profit to a loss.
The sudden deterioration of Lishi's situation made all the shareholders of Lishi except Xu Cun pay attention to Lishi......
