Rebirth of the Great Entertainment Empire

…

The role played by Lin Zhiling is the female classmate who has a little ambiguity with the protagonist Elliott.

In the play, the two characters originally had a direct kissing scene.

but--

Although Henry Thomas, who played Elliott, was only a child, Xu Cun did not hesitate to change the scene into a misplacement.

By the way, in order to film this anatomy class scene, Jeffrey spent a lot of effort to help Xu Cun buy thousands of frogs.

After the filming of this scene, Lin Zhiling's scene in "ET" was finished.

Xu Cun asked a DreamWorks employee who was familiar with Hollywood to take Lin Zhiling's family of three to play in Hollywood at public expense for a few days. Afterwards, Xu Cun personally sent Lin Zhiling and her parents to the airport.

At the time of parting, Lin Zhiling hugged Xu Cun's neck and cried like hell, no matter what she said, she was unwilling to part with Xu Cun!

At this moment, a trace of fatherly love appeared in Xu Cun's heart!

However, Xu Cun snuffed out this trace of affection that shouldn't have appeared—what he wanted was the number one beauty in Taiwan, not being a father! Besides, even if he really wanted to be a father, he could let his own woman give birth to him, so why make a fake one?

...

On the day Lin Zhiling's family left Hollywood, Jeffrey brought good news to Xu Cun - 20th Century Fox Film Company was willing to release "The Royal Sister".

Speaking of which, I have to thank Zou Wenhuai for this matter.

When Zou Wenhuai came to Hollywood, he also brought "Fuxing Gaozhao" to Hollywood.

After that, Zou Wenhuai used his connections in Hollywood to find Alan Ryder Jr., the general manager of 20th Century Fox Film Company, to watch the sample film in "Fortune Stars".

Alan Ryder Jr. is not only the general manager of Twentieth Century Fox Film Company, he is also the head of Twentieth Century Fox. Ten years ago, Twentieth Century Fox was in crisis. Alan Ryder Jr. stepped in and was promoted from a production manager to the helm of the company. He immediately changed his style and set the company's audience as young people, producing "Star Wars" and "Barton" A series of blockbuster films such as "The General" brought Fox back to life.

The kung fu scenes, gunfight scenes, and large-scale stunt scenes in "Fuxing Gaozhao" all made Alan Ryder Jr.'s eyes shine. Although, because of differences in culture and other aspects, Alan Ryder Jr. was not too interested in the comedy part of "Fu Xing Gao Zhao", but after watching "Fu Xing Gao Zhao", Alan Ryder Jr. agreed to release "Fu Xing Gao Zhao" Photos," and Alan Ryder Jr. sold a hundred theaters.

During the screening.

The advanced shooting techniques and beautiful and mature action pictures of "Fuxing Gaozhao" brought unexpected joy to the audience of the United States G - Hollywood action movies, until a large number of Hong Kong martial arts directors went to Hollywood in the 1990s, their action scenes It's really pleasing to the eye. At this time, seeing a gorgeous Chinese Kung Fu different from Li Xiaolong, it is almost like watching Americans watching "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" for the first time or Chinese watching "Jurassic Park".

Moreover, the fights in "Fuxing Gaozhao" are also countable in Xiangjiang.

Therefore, the US G audience is naturally attracted by the gorgeous fights in "Fuxing Gaozhao".

There is also a speeding scene in "Fuxing Gaozhao", and the desperate speeding scene really stunned the audience.

All of this subverts the consistent impression of American G audiences on Chinese-language movies. The Chinese in the film are no longer wearing robes and jackets, but living modern people. It is full of modern urban elements and satisfies the audience's curiosity about Xiangjiang and Japan.

Therefore, although the average attendance rate of "Lucky Stars" was only a meager 30% in the first week of the first week, the average attendance rate of the five shows in the 100 theaters rose to 50% in the second week. By the third week, the average attendance rate of five shows in one hundred theaters per day had risen to 80%.

The 20th Century Fox Film Company saw that "Fu Xing Zhao Zhao" had a good momentum, increased the promotion of "Fu Xing Gao Zhao", and increased the number of theaters showing "Fu Xing Gao Zhao".

By the fourth week, there were already 15 theaters showing five shows of "Fuxing Gaozhao" every day, and the average attendance rate of "Fuxing Gaozhao" had become more than 60%.

This situation lasted for two weeks, and then the average attendance rate of "Fuxing Gaozhao" suddenly plunged, jumping to 35%.

By the seventh week, the average attendance rate of "Fuxing Gaozhao" dropped to less than 30%, and before the end of the seventh week, "Fuxing Gaozhao" was drawn.

In total, the box office of "Lucky Stars" in North America totaled 29.8 million US dollars.

The box office split between Zou Wenhuai and Alan Ryder Jr. was 19%.

In other words, Golden Harvest and DreamWorks can share a total of US$5.6 million in the North American box office of "Fu Xing Shining".

After the addition of 21 to 5, Xu Cuneng received 2.8 million U.S. dollars, which is 21 million Hong Kong dollars when converted into Hong Kong dollars.

This result is quite good, second only to Li Xiaolong's film's achievement in US G.

Alan Ryder Jr. did not expect an Asian film to achieve such good results. Therefore, when he learned that Jeffrey approached the distribution department of 20th Century Fox Film Company with "The Royal Sister" directed by the same director as "Fortune Stars", he met Jeffrey in person.

After watching the sample of "The Royal Sister", Alan Ryder Jr. is delighted!

Compared with "Fuxing Gaozhao", which added many funny plots that Westerners can't understand, "Royal Senior Sister", a purely commercial film, should be more suitable for North American audiences. Alan Ryder Jr. is even sure that "Sister Royal" will surpass "Lucky Star".

The only thing that Alan Ryder Jr. regrets is that "Fortune" was released first-in this way, the shock of "Sister Royal" must be much smaller, otherwise "Sister Royal" is very It may become a dark horse at the box office this year.

Still, "The Royal Sister" should be enough to earn 20th Century Fox a decent sum.

Based on this, Alan Ryder Jr. also gave DreamWorks a 19% fixed box office share. Moreover, because "Fuxing Gaozhao" has already tested the water, Alan Ryder Jr. arranged for "Royal Senior Sister" to be screened in 200 theaters as soon as it came up.

In addition, Alan Ryder Jr. also promised that if the box office of "The Royal Sister" in North America can exceed 40 million U.S. dollars, then 20th Century Fox Film Company will cover the sales of "The Royal Sister" in Central, South America and Europe at the market price. issued.

In other words, as long as "The Royal Senior Sister" can earn more than 40 million US dollars at the box office in North America, then Xu Cun may open the door to the global film world with "Fuxing Gaozhao" and "Royal Senior Sister".
