Rebirth of the Great Entertainment Empire

Chapter 426: With Great Power comes Great Responsibility

Xu Cun's body trembled violently, and then he said unconsciously, "Hiss! It's fun!"

Hu Huizhong made a swallowing motion, then said to Xu Cun with winking eyes like silk: "Brother Cun, how about the trick I taught myself to spit out lotus flowers?"

Xu Cun praised: "Not bad! Not bad!" Then, Xu Cun looked at Lin Qingxia, Deng Lijun, Ye Qianwen, Meng Guangmei, Ge Weiru, Wang Zuxian, Yang Liqing, and Zhu Baoyi who were lying on the bed in disorder, and said: "You will also teach Teach them."

Hu Huizhong nodded and said: "Well, I'll discuss it with my sisters later." Then, Hu Huizhong knelt in front of Xu Cun and stroked Xu Cun's little brother and said, "Brother Cun, I'm the president of DreamWorks Films..."

Why do you think Hu Huizhong recruited all his fellow villagers to set up this ecstasy formation for Xu Cun? She came up with the idea of ​​becoming the president of DreamWorks Films, which was formed by the merger of DreamWorks Films (Xiangjiang Branch) and DreamWorks Films (USA Branch).

Honestly--

Hu Huizhong is indeed very reluctant to be the president of DreamWorks Film Company—you must know that Hu Huizhong has only been the executive general manager of DreamWorks Film Company (Xiangjiang Division) for more than a year. In terms of qualifications, Hu Huizhong is not qualified to be the dream President of Factory Films.

But Hu Huizhong is Xu Cun's woman, and she has been with Xu Cun for four or five years. In addition, Hu Huizhong is very smart, and if Hu Huizhong really doesn't do well, just change to another one. The most important thing is that Xu Cun really can't stand Hu Huizhong. At present, this method asks oneself to be an official!

Therefore, Xu Cun threw Hu Huizhong on the bed and separated Hu Huizhong's legs, saying: "As long as you guys let me have fun again, you will be the president of DreamWorks Films!"

...

There are three fires for a new official to take office, and Hu Huizhong is naturally not exempt.

but--

Hu Huizhong's first fire was neither the reform of DreamWorks Film Company nor the appointment and dismissal of new personnel, but the request that Xu Cun direct a movie himself no matter what, and also asked Xu Cun to use Chinese actors as much as possible to star in this movie. For a movie, the most troublesome thing is that this movie has to be produced worldwide.

Honestly--

Hu Huizhong really made things difficult for Xu Cun!

Xu Cun went through all the Chinese movies he knew over and over again in his mind, but he couldn't find a movie that could meet Hu Huizhong's requirements, including "Waiting" which had achieved the best results in the world in the previous life. Tiger Hidden Dragon".

But Xu Cun didn't agree with Hu Huizhong.

First of all, the reason why Hu Huizhong wanted Xu Cun to direct a movie himself was because he wanted to use Xu Cun's strength to gain a foothold-as Hu Huizhong's man, how could Xu Cun not help Hu Huizhong?

Secondly, in recent years, Xiangjiang has always had a voice——hope that Xu Cun can direct a Chinese-dominated film to compete with European and American films, and create a new world with Chinese-language films. Moreover, the voice was getting louder and louder, and now it was even so loud that Xu Cun couldn't even pretend not to hear it.

Speaking of this matter, Zou Wenhuai and Cheng Long have to be mentioned.

Although he has been defeated repeatedly, Zou Wenhuai has always been committed to promoting Cheng Long to the world - from this point of view, Xu Cun is really inferior to Zou Wenhuai.

It is precisely because of this that Zou Wenhuai and Cheng Long have been praised by many filmmakers and audiences who are keen on nationalism.

Take Golden Harvest's "Weyron Detective" produced this year as an example.

"Weilong Detective" is another American film starring Golden Harvest Investment and Cheng Long after the "Killer's Trenches" and "Cannonball Run" series.

It's a pity that if "Killer's Trenches" was a mistake, then "Wylon Detective" was a disaster. At the beginning of filming, Andrew Morgan, the head of Golden Harvest America Branch, and Chen Ziqiang analyzed the American audience's After the taste, it was decided to make Jackie Chan a New York policeman like Clint Eastwood in "The Dragon Detective", rather than the previous dexterous martial arts character. Although Cheng Long has concerns about this, the US branch has absolute control.

In the end, director James Glickenhaus made "Wylon Detective" into a Hollywood-style action movie full of old routines. The action scenes are not only pitiful, but also very stiff and slow, without any rhythm Dragon style.

Cheng Long was quite dissatisfied with this kind of action scenes. During the filming process, he had disagreements with director James Glickenhaus many times, and even cursed and asked him if he knew how to make action movies. But James Glickenhaus told Cheng Long that this was his film, and he would design the entire martial arts process, which was completely different from Cheng Long's. Cheng Long became angry, and called He Yuchang to say that either James Glickenhaus would leave or he would leave the crew.

Unfortunately, the answer Cheng Long got made Cheng Long very frustrated, because James Glickenhaus signed a very strict contract with Golden Harvest, and replacing James Glickenhaus was by no means an easy task. So even if it was a mistake, the production had to be done. Although Cheng Long was very annoyed by the action scene, which only took four days, he had no choice but to continue working according to James Glickenhaus's wishes. During the awkward filming process, Cheng Long almost cried.

"Weilong Detective" was rated as Cheng Long's only failed work after signing with Golden Harvest. Later, when the Asian version of "The Dragon Detective" was launched, Cheng Long even proposed to modify the film according to his own method. After obtaining the approval, Cheng Long immediately recruited the screenwriter Deng Jingsheng, added several subplots to the film, added several new characters, and deleted the inexplicable passion scenes and fortune-telling scenes in the American version. The plots of Ye Qianwen and Li Haisheng's performances that Chinese audiences saw were added in later reshoots. In addition, Cheng Long also brought back the leading actor Demi Erlo and boxer Bill Wallace from the United States, and re-shot the fighting scene of the final battle, making it longer and more complicated, and the action choreography faster. Faithful to Cheng Long's fighting style. Although the adapted version is much better than the original one, it still can't change the fate of this being a bad movie.

"Wylon Detective" is undoubtedly a failed movie - so failed, so helpless, so tragic!

But even though "The Dragon Detective" was a failure, it still earned nearly 14 million Hong Kong dollars at the Hong Kong box office.

It is not difficult to see from this that Xiangjiang audiences support Zou Wenhuai and Cheng Long's spirit of breaking into Hollywood.

While supporting Zou Wenhuai and Cheng Long, many Xiangjiang people, even many Chinese, hope that Xu Cun can direct a Chinese-dominated film and step onto the world stage.

The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. While Xu Cun enjoys the infinite benefits brought by his reputation, he is also kidnapped by his reputation invisibly.

Therefore, if Xu Cun does not want to lose the godhead that he has built up so hard, he has to direct a movie that is mainly Chinese, and this movie cannot be a gimmick like "The Love of Ghosts" Pseudo-Chinese movies.
