Rebirth of the Great Entertainment Empire

…

The box office of "Fuxing Gaozhao" reached 10.73 million in the first week.

As soon as this result came out, the people in the Xiangjiang film circle were envious! Among them, Shao Yifu was the most important. He even let down his old face not to let Wang Hongbing come to Xu Cun, and wanted to talk to Xu Cun again.

In order to get more benefits, Xu Cunying made an appointment with Shao Yifu.

However, during the negotiation process, Shao Yifu insisted on investing in DreamWorks, but he was willing to reduce the 40% to 20%, and he was willing to exchange 15% of the shares of Shaw Cinemas.

Xu Cun will never let anyone get his hands on his DreamWorks! Therefore, this negotiation with Shao Yifu finally collapsed.

Going to Hollywood to shoot "ET" must be a lot of energy. Therefore, before leaving for the United States, Xu Cun had to relax!

So, during this time, Xu Cun dated his women one by one, spending romantic nights with them one after another.

"Mad Robbery" set.

Xu Cun came to visit Zhao Yazhi's class in casual clothes.

The crew of "Crazy Tribulation" has become accustomed to this - this is Xu Cun's fourth visit to Zhao Yazhi's class in the past month or so, and they are all well aware of the relationship between Xu Cun and Zhao Yazhi.

While waiting for Zhao Yazhi to change clothes, Xu Cun offered an olive branch to Xu Anhua, the director of "Mad Robbery", "Are you interested in coming to DreamWorks?"

Xu Anhua smiled and said, "I don't know how to make commercial films."

Xu Cun said with a serious face: "What? Discrimination against DreamWorks, thinking that DreamWorks only makes commercial films?"

"How can it be? Who dares to say that "Hitch in the Wrong Car" is a commercial film?" Xu Anhua quickly explained.

"That's right, besides money, I still have some pursuit of art." Xu Cun said shamelessly.

Without waiting for Xu Anhua to answer Xu Cun's words, Xu Cun continued: "Of course, the premise of pursuing art is that at least you don't lose money."

Xu Anhua did not expect the famous Xu Cun to be such a funny person! Immediately, she also wanted to understand why a superb beauty like Zhao Yazhi would be one of Xu Cun's girlfriends with all her heart.

Xu Anhua, who is not a beautiful woman, knows that Xu Cun must have liked her director talent before throwing an olive branch to her. This is both an affirmation and a great thing for her. Therefore, why does she Yan disagree?

When Xu Cun invited Xu Anhua to join the DreamWorks, he really didn't want Xu Anhua to help him make money, but wanted Xu Anhua, who was very thoughtful, to train him a few stars.

Of course, although Xu Anhua is not a very popular director, he is still not bad, much better than Wang Jiawei's pit king, that's why Xu Cun invited her personally.

In addition, there is another very noble reason why Xu Cun invited Xu Anhua:

Xu Cun remembers that in an interview, Xu Anhua said: "At my age and stage, I don't know whether I can win awards or make breakthroughs. I just hope that after I work hard, I will not lose money. Otherwise, the pressure will be great." It's too big, I can't stand it."

It is difficult for ordinary people to imagine that these words came from Xu Anhua's mouth. She has been in the film industry for more than 30 years, and has always been a frequent visitor to major film festivals. She has won the Golden Statue three times and won the Golden Horse twice. She has also trained many movie kings and queens such as Andy Lau, Xiao Fangfang, Siqin Gaowa, etc. She herself is even more famous. He is the president of the Xiangjiang Directors Association.

But in fact, Xu Cun, the most outstanding female director in Xiangjiang, still lives with her mother who is over seventy years old, rents a low-cost apartment to live in, and can only get in and out by bus and taxi. And almost every movie she wants to make will suffer from the lack of investment, and some of them will have to die. She made Andy Lau couldn't help sighing to the media: I really don't want to see such a good director working so hard to find money to make a movie.

Since the mid-to-late 1990s, the general environment for Hong Kong films has been poor, which is not such a rare news. But after entering the new century, it has become the tacit consensus of most Xiangjiang filmmakers to go north to the mainland. "People in the mainland are stupid, they have a lot of money, come quickly." This is a joke made by mainland filmmakers to make fun of themselves. In fact, this is also an indisputable fact to a certain extent. Co-productions have become popular, so Xu Anhua, who stayed behind in Xiangjiang, was naturally somewhat lonely.

There were also people who approached her with big-budget scripts and bank cards, but Xu Anhua declined. She said, "That's not the movie I want to make." Even though she has lived in the industrialized city of Hong Kong all her life, Xu Anhua still resists the operation method of the assembly line, spends every penny meticulously, and pays attention to the quality of the film. Counting the movie scenes she shot, from "Tin Shui Wai", "Fried Rice in Free Time" to "Sister Tao", they are all slow and meticulous work, and they all have resonance in Hong Kong, but it is difficult to arouse the enthusiasm of mainlanders to watch movies. Even movies that cannot be shown in the Mainland at all.

Therefore, this strong female director is full of gratitude to her investors and actors. She hopes that all her films can be nominated for awards, but not for herself, but for the actors, "otherwise the next film will not be nominated." It's easy to find someone", she will feel sorry for him. She also repeatedly warned every reporter, "Don't say that my life is not good anymore, I don't want to complain anymore, now I can keep making the movies I want to make, I am already very lucky."

It is the misfortune of the times that such an excellent filmmaker cannot be provided with a good creative environment. Although Xu Cun is not a very good person, as a person who really likes movies, he also wants to provide a relatively good creative environment for filmmakers like Xu Anhua for the times - of course, the premise is, just like what he said to Xu Anhua That way, don't let him lose money.

Although Xu Anhua was signed, but because Xu Anhua had agreed to be filmed by others, Xu Anhua had to wait for a while before coming to DreamWorks to work for Xu Cun.
