Rebirth of the Great Entertainment Empire

…

"Uncle Chang, what's the matter? You are in such a hurry that you keep running to the court to find me?"

Hearing the dissatisfaction in Xu Cun's tone, He Yuchang was also a little embarrassed, but he still quickly explained: "We don't want to bother you to watch the game, but Amei said that you may not be here for a few days. I'm going to the mainland to shoot "Crazy Stone", that's why we came here to meet you..." Speaking of this, He Yuchang changed his tone, and said again: "Otherwise, you can watch the football first, and when you finish watching, we will come to you again." chat?"

At this moment, for some reason, the game has entered the stage of dry kicks and no goals.

For someone as impatient as Xu Cun, watching this stalemate is a torment.

In order to distract himself, Xu Cun said: "Who should wait? I don't dare to make you wait, Uncle Chang. Besides, I'm not a loyal fan, so let's talk about things first."

Hearing what Xu Cun said, Cheng Long, who had been holding back for a while, immediately said: "Mr. Xu, we want to make a new movie, and hit the European and American film markets again. I beg Mr. Xu to help us with overseas theaters." !"

Cheng Long had his reasons for being anxious.

The so-called biweekly pattern has actually gone a long way in this life.

In Xiangjiang, the popularity of Double Mondays is actually the same as in the previous life. The real gap between them is overseas, and the gap between them is not small!

in--

The worst is Zhou Xingchi.

At present, apart from Hong Kong, Zhou Xingchi still has some influence in Taiwan and the mainland. If he does not lose to Europe and the United States, even in Nanyang, Japan and South Korea, his influence is actually very average--thinking about it, this is actually very important. It's normal, after all, it's only been a few years since Zhou Xingchi really became popular, and his background is shallower than that of Cheng Long and Zhou Runfa.

Cheng Long is stronger than Zhou Xingchi.

Relying on more than ten years of hard work, Cheng Long's influence in Asia is unquestionable, but out of Asia, Cheng Long's influence is not enough now - in the past ten years, Golden Harvest has also several times Cheng Long pushed to Hollywood, but they all failed (with the help of Xu Cun, Cheng Long actually gained some fame overseas with the "Police Story" series, but there is still a long way to go before entering the European and American markets. distance.).

Now, the strongest is Zhou Runfa.

Relying on Xu Cun's "The Matrix", Zhou Runfa has actually successfully entered the European and American film markets, but because of the lack of good follow-up works, Zhou Runfa's reputation in Europe and the United States has gradually faded.

Fortunately——

With Xu Cun's "Jurassic Park" the year before last, Zhou Runfa became popular again, and became the world's top star in one fell swoop.

It can be said that today's Zhou Runfa is a well-deserved number one Chinese movie star.

Judging from the current situation, there is only one movie star who can compete with Zhou Runfa a little bit. Don't get me wrong, this person is not Cheng Long, but has also successfully entered European and American movies with "The Matrix" and "Resident Evil". In the market, Yang Ziqiong's salary has reached 3 million US dollars, plus a certain box office share. Although there is a certain gap with Zhou Runfa, he is already the second highest paid Chinese star.

As for Cheng Long, the current film salary is only more than one million US dollars, not to mention compared with Zhou Runfa and Yang Ziqiong, even compared with Li Lianjie who has established a firm foothold in Europe and the United States with "Fast and Furious". It can also be compared with Qiu Shuzhen, who is famous in Europe and the United States with "Jurassic Park".

How could Cheng Long be reconciled to this?

Therefore, now Cheng Long is extremely eager to make a good movie to prove himself and regain his title as the number one Chinese movie star!

With Cheng Long leading the way, Tang Jili immediately chimed in and said, "Mr. Xu, Brother Long's strength is not a problem, he just lacks a chance to prove himself, and this time we also invite Sister Mei and Sister Zhen to join this film." Movies, with the fame and strength of the three of them, our movie will definitely enter the European and American movie markets!"

Tang Jili went to Canada to study after completing junior high school in Xiangjiang, and was admitted to Miles Macdonell College in Winnipeg.

Because he read "Xinglin Waishi" when he was a child, he had the idea of ​​becoming a doctor, so after graduating from high school, Tang Jili chose medicine.

But--

Because Canadian medical schools do not accept foreign students, Tang Jili was recruited into the civil engineering department.

Tang Jili had no interest in civil engineering, because his brother-in-law was engaged in the directing industry, and he himself had a strong interest in drama, so he returned to Hong Kong in 1979 to develop in the film industry-at the end of 1979, Tang Jili went to Shaw Brothers Watching his brother-in-law Luo Lie act on the set, Luo Lie introduced him to Liu Jialiang. He also worshiped Liu Jialiang's younger brother Shen Xian (Yu Yuen Wen) and Xiao Hou (Hou Yaozong) as teachers, and entered the entertainment industry through martial arts.

Since then, Tang Jili has successively worked as a martial arts actor, martial arts stand-in, scene reporter, assistant director, producer and screenwriter in Shaw Brothers, Golden Harvest, TVB, Phoenix TV, DreamWorks and many film companies. Zhang Guorong and others worked as stand-ins.

Because he is the apprentice of the gods, Tang Jili also entered the Xu family class in the end, and is a martial artist of the Xu family class whose roots are authentic.

But because Xu Cun's filming is getting less and less, and there are fewer and fewer martial arts masters, so many martial arts masters in Xu's class have gone out to accept private jobs - they not only accept the films of DreamWorks, but also accept the films of other film companies. , It is precisely because of this that Tang Jili was able to catch up with Cheng Long, and transformed from a martial artist to a director.

(By the way, the Xu family class has not disbanded, and Lin Zhengying has been leading them for the past two years. Moreover, Xu Cun has always paid them salaries, and their salaries have always been the highest in the industry.)

Xu Cun has always turned a blind eye to the martial arts masters from Xu's class going out to pick up private jobs—after all, these martial masters can't let their hard-earned skills go to waste, can they?

Taking a step back, many people in the Xu family class are old people who have been with Xu Cun for more than ten years. Xu Cun, who has always been nostalgic, also hopes that they can live better!

The action films directed by Tang Jili focus on aesthetics and humor elements, intense but not violent, touching but not bloody. In his last life, from filming in Xiangjiang, to filming TV series in the United States, and then moving to the Mainland to co-produce film and television, he has been working silently. And got what he deserved.

Xu Cun admired people like Tang Jili very much.

In addition, Tang Jili is from Xu's class.

So, seeing Tang Jili supporting Cheng Long, Xu Cun asked, "Are you the director of this movie?"

Tang Jili hurriedly said, "Yes, Mr. Xu!"

Xu Cun patted Tang Jili on the shoulder, and said, "Direct with your heart, don't embarrass Xu's class."

After Xu Cun's hand left Tang Jili's shoulder, Tang Jili immediately raised his chest and said loudly, "Don't worry, Mr. Xu, I will definitely do my best!"

Hearing Tang Jili's words, Xu Cun turned his head to the court again, and said at the same time: "After the filming is finished, bring it here for me to see. If it is good enough, I will upload it to all channels for you."
