Rebirth of the Great Entertainment Empire

…

At the end of March, Hu Huizhong went to Europe to promote "Royal Warrior", Xu Cun chose two days to shoot foreign films, and went to Paris to accompany Hu Huizhong for two days.

In mid-April, Michiko Nishika sprained her foot while filming, Xu Cun immediately went back to Xiangjiang to visit Michiko Nishika, and then returned to Glendale by plane that day.

At the end of April, Teresa Teng was invited to take the stage at Lincoln Center in New York, USA, becoming the first Chinese singer to perform there. He was awarded the "Golden Apple" brooch by the mayor of New York. Xu Cun went to New York to accompany Teresa Teng for two days.

Moreover, from time to time, Xu Cun also went to Santa Clara University to find He Chaoqiong and Mei Aifang, or called Zhao Yazhi or Mei Yanfang to Glendale for a few days when they were free.

The production of "ET" has come to an end, and there are too many things that need to be handled by Xu Cun himself—but even so, Xu Cun still enjoys looking for opportunities to vent his strong desire on different women.

For people like Xu Cun, Zhong Chuhong was really speechless—she couldn't figure out how could women be so attractive to Xu Cun?

Sometimes, seeing Xu Cun who was so tired, Zhong Chuhong couldn't help but choke: "I said, can you stop working so hard? Don't be desperate to make money and waste money!"

"After this period of work, I will definitely take a good rest, but not now, whether DreamWorks can grow stronger or bigger, "ET" is the key!" Xu Cun said.

"Then you can save the time of running around looking for women and rest." Zhong Chuhong said.

"That's even worse! I don't smoke, and I don't drink alcohol. If I quit women, then what's the point of my life!" Xu Cun shook his head again and again.

"Then you don't have to fly around to find a woman to vent your anger on?" Zhong Chuhong said angrily.

"It's not all your fault. If you follow me, why should I go far away?" Xu Cun said shamelessly.

"Stop it, I don't know you yet? Even if I really follow you, I can't stop you from going to them, so why should I involve myself?" Zhong Chuhong said without hesitation.

"Ah Hong, if I didn't have another woman, would you follow me?" Xu Cun leaned close to Zhong Chuhong and said softly.

"No!" Zhong Chuhong took a step back and said.

"Why?" Xu Cun asked.

"With you, what will others think? They will say that I am a gold digger and a rich man, so how will I behave in the future?" Zhong Chuhong said.

"Uh... the mouth grows on someone else's body..." Xu Cun said in amazement.

"Stop, I won't be your concubine anyway!" Zhong Chuhong interrupted Xu Cun. Then, without waiting for Xu Cun to speak again, she turned and left.

"Hey, I'm your boss anyway, can you respect me a little?" Xu Cun shouted behind Zhong Chuhong.

"Fire me if you don't like it." Zhong Chuhong said without looking back.

"If you don't have desires, you can be strong! This woman is really hard to get used to!" When Zhong Chuhong walked away, Xu Cun rubbed his temples and said to himself.

...

Gertie, Michael, and Aiolet bid farewell to ET respectively. ET took the potted flower and slowly boarded the UFO. The puppy Harvey boarded the UFO to bid farewell to ET, and the UFO flew away...

Xu Cun, Huang Daiyue, and Zhong Zhiwen held cameras and took close-up shots of the actors watching the UFO flying away one by one...

"Crack!" Xu Cun shouted.

Then, Xu Cun personally went to check the twelve cameras that had been arranged before.

After checking, Xu Cun said: "The actors make their own preparations, and we will do it again in ten minutes." Then, Xu Cun said to Henry Thomas, the actor who played Aiolet: "Henry, your best friend will never leave after this time." I won't come back, it's farewell, not goodbye! So, you should be more sad."

Henry Thomas thought for a while and said, "Director, I think I know what my problem is."

Seeing that Henry Thomas seemed to have found the feeling, Xu Cun resisted the camera again, and said: "The lighting is ready, the camera is ready, and the actors are in their positions... Ekesh!"

Shoot it again, and watch all the camera images one by one several times, and after confirming that there is nothing wrong, Xu Cun announced loudly: "I declare that "ET" is finished!"

As soon as Xu Cun's words came out of his mouth, the actors and crew who were not far from Xu Cun, regardless of whether they were in G or in G, all cheered!

"ET" took half a year to shoot.

There are too many hardships that cannot be understood by outsiders!

Similarly, getting along with each other for half a year has also made these people who didn't know each other or even the language barrier become acquainted, and even a beautiful G female doctor who treated ET and a young man in the digital field became boyfriend and girlfriend!

In order to fulfill the long-distance relationship, Xu Cun specially approved this young man from Xiangjiang to enter the newly established animation department of DreamWorks (US G branch). Then, he said to him very humorously: "Brother Cun can only help you so much."

...

The finalization does not mean that the production of "ET" is finished - as a sci-fi film, post-production is equally important, or even more important.

Pat Wales, who voices ET, is an elderly woman in her late seventies who developed her distinctive voice from smoking two packs of cigarettes a day.

Pat Welsh was discovered by Xu Cun's audio assistant Ben Belt for Chen Xunqi.

Welsh recorded a total of nine and a half hours, and the unscrupulous Xu Cun only paid her three hundred and eighty dollars.

In order to create rich and varied sound effects for the film, Xu Cun and Chen Xunqi also recorded 16 other sounds, including the snoring of a beautiful middle-aged woman, the belching of a professor at the University of Southern California, and horses, raccoons, and sea otters. cry.

In the original "ET", the mask of Master Yoda in "Star Wars" appeared. This is Spielberg's surprise for his friend George Lucas. This useless setting in Xu Cun's "ET" Naturally, it was deleted by Xu Cun.

It took nearly ten days of hard work with the sound effects team, art team, Industrial Light \u0026 Magic, Stan Winston Studio, and the digital field to ensure quality and quantity before "ET" was fully produced.

After comparing the produced "ET" with the "ET" in his mind several times, Xu Cun confirmed that although there are many differences between the two "ET", the overall feeling is similar.

After copying five master tapes, Xu Cun sent one of the master tapes to the safe of the Bank of California, and put the other three master tapes into the safe of DreamWorks (US G branch), and the last master tape Xu Cun and the main creators of "ET" are preparing to take them to the small town of Cannes, France to participate in the annual Cannes Film Festival - "ET" with a box office potential of 800 million US dollars is not even less than 70 million US dollars at the box office The "Royal Senior Sister" is comparable, so Xu Cun will never meet the 19% box office distribution ratio. Therefore, he had to build momentum for "ET" and let "ET" become popular before finding a distributor, so as to get more box office distribution.
