"Home Alone" continued to be released in North America, and it showed a strong ability to attract tickets, ranking first in the box office list of the week for four consecutive weeks, winning more than 100 million box office.

For this reason, Chels, the head of the distribution department of 20th Century Fox, held a special celebratory reception.

In the evening, inside a private lodge.

At the reception, Chels stood on the podium and looked at the guests below, coughed lightly into the microphone, and then said loudly: "Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the celebration reception held by our company. After a pause in his tone, Chels continued to say loudly, "I think everyone should know that the director who filmed the movie "Home Alone" is an Oriental named Duan Hu; However, I don't think everyone knows where this Oriental is sacred and what he looks like. "Then, now I will introduce it to you," said Chels, who led his hands to the left, pointing to Duan Hu who was standing there, and said loudly: "This is the hero of our movie, Duan Hu, Mr. Duan."

Papa

"Everyone, do you think Mr. Duan is very young? Yes, today I will tell you that Mr. Duan is actually only 17 years old this year. Seeing the applause of the guests below, Chels said loudly.

Wow, hearing Chels's words, the guests were in an uproar; At the age of seventeen, he wrote and self-made a movie with a box office of over 100 million, and the box office continues to climb, what is this concept? They don't know, they just know that when they were seventeen they didn't know which pimple nest they were in.

……

Next, Duan Hu also said a few words on the stage, and the cocktail party officially began, and Duan Hu also exchanged acquaintances with some guests accompanied by Chels.

"Oh, Lucas, long time no see, how's it going?" Soon after the reception began, Chels brought Duan Hu to a guest and said happily.

Lucas was also very happy to see Chels, and said with a smile: "I'm fine, congratulations, Chels, you have made another big deal."

Lucas? The guy who single-handedly created the world's top movie special effects company in the future, Industrial Light & Magic? But at this time, didn't he go to California to open his film company because he made a lot of profits from filming "Star Wars" a few months ago? Why did you get here? Duan Hu on the side was a little surprised when he heard Chels's words, and at the same time, his mind also moved. He knows that the future movies will be the era of special effects blockbusters, and if he can have a top film special effects company, he will not only be able to shoot special effects blockbusters in the future, but also bring himself a large number of tickets.

"Hello Mr. Lucas, it's a pleasure to meet you." Under Chels's introduction, Duan Hu stretched out his hand and shook Lucas, and said with a smile.

I'm also very happy to meet you, Mr. Duan Hu, your movie is wonderful. Lucas also said with a smile.

Mr. Lucas, I heard that you have a film special effects company? The two chatted for a while, and Duan Hu asked.

"Oh?" Lucas was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then smiled: "Yes, could it be that Mr. Duan Hu is also interested in special effects?"

"Yes, I think special effects movies will become the mainstream of the world in the future." Duan Hu said.

"I didn't expect Mr. Duan Hu to have the same opinion on special effects movies as I do." Lucas said thoughtfully.

Then he chatted with Lucas for a while about special effects movies, and Duan Hu asked, "Mr. Lucas, I don't know if your special effects company allows capital injection?"

"Oh? I don't know how much Mr. Duan Hu plans to inject? Lucas thought for a moment and said.

"Eighty million dollars." After Duan Hu said the value, he asked, "I don't know how many shares I can have?"

Lucas thought carefully and said, "If you inject 80 million US dollars, I can consider giving you 25% of the shares."

In the end, Duan Hu and the two agreed to buy Lucas's special effects company, Industrial Light & Magic, for 80 million US dollars. However, it is only an agreement, and it will have to be counted after signing a contract and so on.

…………

The reception lasted for a few hours, and by the end of the reception, Duan Hu had also met many people, and at the end of the reception, he was interviewed by several media who had been invited here.

The next day, these media outlets released the news they had interviewed Duan Hu.

The director of "Home Alone", a seventeen-year-old boy from the distant Xiangjiang, swept our Hollywood box office, I really can't imagine how he did it, his films conquered our North American audience, but his youth and wisdom conquered me, "Luoshan Rock Times" reported.

If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I couldn't believe that a ten-year-old boy could make such a wonderful movie. xx Movie Weekly

When these reports were first made, they quickly caused a stir in North America because he was so young.

………

With the passage of time again, "Home Alone" was released in North America for about half a month, and finally settled in North America, with a total box office of just over 200 million. Although it is 70 or 80 million less than that of later generations, it is still very good considering the low ticket price.

30% of the box office of 200 million, Duan Hu got a total of 60 million US knives, and at the same time, when the film was a big hit, Duan Hu sold the release rights of Europe and other countries to distributors in Britain, France and other European countries at a price of 50 million US knives.

After getting all the box office shares and staying in country M for two more days, Duan Hu wrote the scripts for two more movies "First Blood" and "The Terminator", handed them over to Lucas to shoot, and left 20 million US dollars for him to use as funds, and at the same time, at the same time, at the price of 80 million US dollars, bought 30% of Lucas's shares in the industrial light and magic special effects company, and signed these contracts with him, so he didn't stay longer, and directly took the plane from Luoshanji to Xiangjiang. Because at this time, it was February 3, 1978, and there were still 4 days before the Spring Festival.

However, one of the two scripts, "The Terminator", was temporarily shelved due to the fact that the special effects technology was not mature enough.

Kai Tak Airport. As soon as Duan Hu stepped out of the plane, he saw his parents, sister and others, and he couldn't help but feel a little moved. He just told them that he was coming back, and didn't let them come to pick them up, but they still came, how could he have experienced this kind of care in his previous life?

Dad, Mom, Little Sister, why are you here? Walking up to the three of them, Duan Hu asked.

Stinky boy, I didn't know I was back until I had been gone for so long. Duan Yiming didn't answer, just scolded.

Isn't Ah Hu back, what are you scolding? Mom Zhang Tong helped and said.

Brother, isn't it interesting that we're all here to pick you up? Duan Zixin on the side interjected.

Well, that's interesting, and I bought you your favorite gift back. Duan Hu said.

…………

When he returned home, Duan Hu told his parents about his situation in country M.

What the? Ah Hu, is it really you who made a movie in Hollywood and earned 200 million at the box office? After hearing Duan Hu's matter, Zhang Tong said in shock. And Duan Yiming and Duan Zixin on the side also looked surprised.

It has been two or three days since Duan Hu's movie sold 200 million at the box office in North America, so it has reached Xiangjiang at this time. It's just that the people in Xiangjiang only know that there is this person, but they don't know who this person is, and the media haven't confirmed him so quickly, but they are in doubt.

The reason why it can spread so quickly is because this incident is related to the people of Xiangjiang, a seventeen-year-old Xiangjiang man swept the box office of 200 million in Hollywood, saying that this is what a thing that makes Xiangjiang people lose face!

You must know that since Bruce Lee's death, Xiangjiang movies have been a bit unsustainable in Southeast Asia and even Xiangjiang itself, but fortunately, Xiangjiang movies have begun to gradually flourish after several years of hard work.

After chatting with his family for a while, Duan Hu said to Duan Yiming: "Dad, do you know that there are those independent theaters in Xiangjiang now?"

"Independent cinema?" Duan Yiming was stunned when he heard this, pondered for a while, and said, "I don't know this very well, I'll ask someone to help you check it tomorrow; What are you asking all this for? Do you want to buy these theaters?

"Well, yes, I'm going to open a film company and set up a theater chain. Duan Hu said.

……………

Early the next morning, Duan Yiming asked his subordinates to investigate the matter of the Xiangjiang Independent Cinema. In the evening, he gave Duan Hu the information he had asked people to find.

At the same time, Duan Hu, the author of "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty", is the one who swept the box office of 200 million in Hollywood, and the matter of Duan Hu was finally known by the media.

So media reporters rushed to Duan Hu's home to conduct interviews.

Soon, on the second day, Duan Hu's matter was reported by various media.

Duan Hu, the author of "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty", he is the Duan Hu who swept the North American box office of 200 million with a "Home Alone", he is the pride of our Xiangjiang people, he has done something that no one in our Xiangjiang film industry has ever done at the age of seventeen, I am proud of him. Cinema Fortnightly.

When he wrote "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty", I knew that he was very talented, and when I learned that he won 200 million box office with another movie, I can only say that he is a real genius, a genius. "Ming Pao" Jin Daxia.

Reports about Duan Hu filled the streets of Xiangjiang. Let countless Xiangjiang citizens re-realize how amazing Duan Hu, the former author of martial arts novels, is. It has also made countless young people in Xiangjiang regard him as their idol and pursue their dreams.

After a good New Year at home, on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, Duan Hu began to contact the owners of those independent theaters one by one, hoping to buy the theaters in their hands.

The Xiangjiang films in the 70s have just experienced a period of decline, and have not yet developed to the golden age a few years later, so there are only dozens of independent large, medium and small theaters, and there are less than 100 cinemas in total, including Golden Harvest and Shaw Brothers.

After more than a week of negotiations, Duan Hu finally acquired the best eighteen theaters in the area; The rest of the theaters are either not sold by others, or he can't watch them. At the same time, during this period, Duan Hu also acquired a film company with a complete structure.

By the time everything was said and done, the time had come to February 30th.

Then Duan Hu planned to officially change the names of the eighteen theaters and film companies he acquired to Huaxia Cinema Line and Huaxia Film Company. During this period, Duan Hu selected two people with the best talents from these two places as the acting deputy manager of the cinema line. At the same time, he also plans to invite all the well-known figures in the entertainment industry in Hong Kong to participate in the establishment and renaming ceremony of his cinema chain and film company, so as to get to know them well, and by the way, dig into their corners to enrich his film company.

The next day, Duan Hu released the news that he would set up the third cinema line in Xiangjiang on March 8 to establish Huaxia Film Company. At the same time, he also ordered invitations to be sent to celebrities in the entertainment industry.

Golden Harvest Office Building. Inside the chairman's office.

Golden Harvest's second-in-command, He Guangun sat on the sofa with some anxiety, and asked Zou Wen, who was sitting in the chairman's position, "Wen Huai, Duan Hu will set up the third cinema line in Xiangjiang, what do you say we should do with Golden Harvest?"

Zou Daheng smiled when he heard this: "Ah Chang, why should you worry, now there are only two major cinemas in Xiangjiang, us and Shaw Brothers, wouldn't it be better to add another one!" Besides, even if one more cinema line is added, it will not have much impact on our Golden Harvest. As long as we train our company's artists well, it's okay.

He Guangun was a little strange when he heard this, and asked, "What is the benefit of adding an extra cinema?" There are more theaters, and the box office is thinned by the number of moviegoers, how can it be good?

"Ah Chang, now there are only two cinema lines in the entire Xiangjiang River, we and Shaw Brothers, all day long, either you die or I live, you say, if there is a third cinema line, will this situation continue?" Zou Tycoon said.

"Oh? Three Kingdoms Rivalry? He Guangun somewhat understood. The emergence of a third cinema line in Xiangjiang will promote Xiangjiang, which originally had only two cinema lines, to achieve a balance between the three kingdoms, and no matter who fights with the other, it will only cheapen the people who are watching......

Shaw, office building, inside the chairman's office.

"Yifu, do you think it is possible for us to unite this Duan Hu to fight against Jiahe?" Fang Yihua said to Shao Tycoon.

It's impossible to fight against that, but that Duan Hu's company has just started at the moment, but we can have a good relationship with him. Shao Daheng said. Speaking of Shao Tycoon, he is also a little depressed, although he has also been brilliant for a few years since he took over the Shaw Brothers, but since Zou Tycoon left his subordinates, he and He Guangun founded Jiahe Film Company, with the help of Bruce Lee; Later, after Xu Guanwen left to join Jiahe, his Shaw Brothers have been pressed and beaten by Jiahe, and even now it has begun to go downhill.
