Rebirth of the Great Entertainment Empire

…

When Xu Cun returned to Xiangjiang from the United States, it was just in time for the full release of Spider-Man.

So far, this wave of confrontation has completely come to a result.

The box office of several movies in Hong Kong:

First place: Spider-Man, with a box office of 52.21 million Hong Kong dollars.

Second place: The Overlord Flower, with a box office of 47.65 million Hong Kong dollars.

Third place: Tiger Out of Changing, with a box office of 27.86 million Hong Kong dollars.

Fourth place: The Best Lost Friend, with a box office of 21.22 million Hong Kong dollars.

Fifth place: The Last Emperor Puyi, with a box office of 19.5 million Hong Kong dollars.

Sixth place: Inside the Law, with a box office of 18.83 million Hong Kong dollars.

This wave of wars further shows that the Hong Kong film market is doing very well, and the golden age of Xiangjiang films has arrived!

In addition, judging from the results of this wave of battles—Golden Harvest was the last one, New Art City’s performance was not bad, but New Art City’s Tiger Out was directed by independent filmmaker Liu Jialiang. Under the guidance of his disciples, Yongsheng, an independent production company, even won a local box office of more than 20 million yuan. These inevitably make many people feel that the era of big film companies has passed, and Xiangjiang will soon usher in the era of independent film companies and independent filmmakers.

At this juncture, the other two major shareholders of Golden Princess Cinemas besides Nine Dragons Leijia, Chen Rongmei and Feng Bingzhong, announced that they would withdraw from Golden Princess Cinemas and form another Xinbao Cinemas independent of the four major cinemas—because The butterfly effect produced by the appearance of Xu Cun, today's Xiangjiang film market is more prosperous than that of the previous life, so that the profit-driven Chen Rongmei and Feng Bingzhong joined forces with Cai Songlin, Wang Yingxiang and other Taiwanese businessmen to directly buy Debao Cinemas Come down and integrate into the Xinbao Cinemas. In other words, as soon as the Xinbao Cinemas in this life was born, it was second only to the DreamWorks Cinemas (Xiangjiang Branch), equal to the Golden Harvest Cinemas and the Golden Princess Cinemas, and stronger than the Shuangnan Cinemas. Big cinema.

As soon as Xinbao Cinemas was established, Chen Rongmei declared on behalf of Xinbao Cinemas that Xinbao Cinemas would act as an intermediary between foreign capital and Hong Kong independent production companies and independent filmmakers.

The reason why independent production companies and independent filmmakers have been acting as satellite companies and horsemen for several major film companies is because they have no theaters and no production fees.

Now, these two major problems have been solved by Xinbao Cinemas, and the films they produce can not only be shown in Xinbao Cinemas, but foreign investment can also be brought back to the local market to continue to make profits.

Under such circumstances, how can independent production companies and independent filmmakers stay honestly in several major film companies as satellite companies and horse boys who can't get a good release time and can't make a lot of money?

Therefore, as soon as Xinbao Cinemas was established, Xiang Huaqiang and Xiang Huasheng's Yongsheng Film Company, McDonald Bear's McDangxiong Production, Zeng Zhiwei and others' Good Friends Film Company, and Li Xiuxian's Universal Pictures Co., Ltd. and Deng Guangrong's Yingzhijie Production Co., Ltd. all joined Xinbao Cinemas, and lived a life with Xinbao Cinemas.

The establishment of Xinbao Cinemas is undoubtedly a drastic move for Xinyicheng, which is already on the verge of its end, and it is a fatal stab in the back for Golden Harvest, which seriously hurts the vitality of the two major film companies.

As a result, just after Xu Cun returned to Xiangjiang from the United States, Zou Wenhuai, He Yuchang, Zou Zhongjin, Lei Juekun, Huang Baiming, and Lei Qizheng all came to Shi'ao Manor to visit Xu Cun.

Xu Cun was not at all surprised that other people, including Zou Wenhuai, came to visit him. The only thing Xu Cun was surprised by was that Lei Juekun, who was obviously dying, also came to visit him in person!

Seeing Lei Juekun again, the grievances and resentments from the past inevitably reappeared in Xu Cun's mind.

but--

Just for a moment, Xu Cun shook his head secretly: Lei Juekun is already like this, is there any meaning to the past grievances?

Thinking of this, Xu Cun personally stepped forward, took Lei Juekun's arm from Lei Qizheng's hand, and then personally led Lei Juekun to his reception hall - at this moment, Zou Wenhuai, He Yuchang, and Zou Chongjin were also there. There.

On the way, Xu Cun said with a little reproach: Mr. Lei, why did you come here in person? If you need someone to tell me, I will definitely go to the hospital to see you!

Lei Juekun smiled and said: With your current status, A Cun, who would dare to summon you in this thousand-square-kilometer Xiangjiang River? Slightly apologetic, he said again: Don't mind, A Cun, I've had a bad mouth all my life, and this is the end...

From Lei Juekun's tone, Xu Cun could hear the helplessness of a hero's twilight! Xu Cun interrupted Lei Juekun and said: Medical medicine is very advanced now, Mr. Lei, your little ailment will definitely be cured!

Lei Juekun smiled lightly, and said: I know my own body... Forget it, let's not talk about me, A Cun, I am here this time, firstly, I want to meet your old friend, and secondly, I have something to know. beg.

Xu Cun didn't care about the fact that he and Lei Juekun were never friends, but said directly: Tell me, if I can help you, I will do my best.

Lei Juekun stopped, then turned to Xu Cun and said, A Cun, are you thinking that we have never been friends?

Xu Cun said noncommittally: In fact, I have always admired you.

Lei Juekun stared into Xu Cun's eyes and said, I admire you even more! After a pause, Lei Juekun continued: I, Lei Juekun, have never convinced anyone in my life, Shao Yifu, Zou Wenhuai, There are also other competitors in my life, I have never convinced them, never...but I really admire you. Speaking of this, Lei Juekun sighed leisurely, and said: If it wasn't for the old Now, if I wasn't about to die, I might follow in your footsteps and go with you to witness your legend with my own eyes...Unfortunately, I can't wait for that day...

Xu Cun rubbed his nose and said, Mr. Lei, if you have anything to say, just tell me. You really don't need to flatter me like that.

Lei Juekun didn't argue with what Xu Cun said, but said to himself: I don't deny that someone Lei entered the movie industry because he wanted to make money, but I also really like movies and I really want to make new movies. Art City has created several good movies. Lei Juekun glanced at Lei Qizheng who was always following behind him, and said: My son is a businessman who only wants profit, and now New Art City has internal and external troubles and cannot make money. How much money... If I die, the New Art City I created, including the Golden Princess I created, will probably become history in a few years.

Speaking of this, Lei Juekun looked at Xu Cun beggingly and said, A Cun, can you let Xinyi City and Princess Jin exist for a few more years?
