Rebirth of the Great Entertainment Empire

…

Back from Taipei, Xu Cun has been busy - busy preparing for the crew of "Dao Ma Dan", busy dealing with chores that have been backlogged for more than half a year, busy choosing the movie that DreamWorks will make to stabilize those impetuous people...

After being busy for more than half a month, Xu Cuncai almost handled everything except Chen Xunqi.

In the end, Zeng Zhiwei failed to get the conditions he wanted. In addition, as long as 20% of the remuneration is handed over to DreamWorks according to the rules, DreamWorks will not restrict him from going out to pick up private jobs. Therefore, after thinking for a long time, he chose to stay at DreamWorks.

People don't like grass on the wall, so Xu Cun is naturally not surprised.

But Zeng Zhiwei is very good at getting things done, not annoying at all, and very capable.

After considering these things, Xu Cun pretended not to know that Zeng Zhiwei secretly hooked up with Lei Juekun.

Of course, it is impossible for Xu Cun to promote the half-hearted Zeng Zhiwei like he promoted Lin Zhengying, Zhong Zhiwen, and Yuan Kui.

In short, since then, Xu Cun has treated Zeng Zhiwei as an ordinary actor, ordinary director, and ordinary screenwriter—neither suppressing nor caring for him.

Compared with Zeng Zhichuan, Chen Xunqi is not easy to deal with.

First of all, Chen Xunqi wanted to set up his own film company not because he really wanted to betray Xu Cun, nor because he wanted to make more money, but because he was full of curiosity that wanted to keep trying new things That's all.

Secondly, even though Chen Xunqi really wanted to be the boss of a film company, he still tried his best to restrain himself, and he did not try to win over any employee of DreamWorks.

Secondly, although Xu Cun's character is not good, but he is very nostalgic - in the past two years, Chen Xunqi has helped him a lot. Moreover, whenever Xu Cun was in trouble, Chen Xunqi was always on the front line.

To be honest, Xu Cun really didn't want to let Chen Xunqi go - if Chen Xunqi hadn't had the desire to leave, Xu Cun would have entrusted him with directing the sequel of "Sister Royal", and let Zhong Zhiwen and Yuan Kui assist him.

It's a pity that eight or nine out of ten unsatisfactory things in life, how can everything be as one wishes?

However, even though he knew that Chen Xunqi would leave eight or nine times out of ten, Xu Cun still didn't take the initiative to let Chen Xunqi go.

This is due to his personality - Xu Cun is a selfish villain in his bones, so he will never give up on Chen Xunqi, a talented person.

...

The recent period is not all troubles. For Xu Cun, there is still a big happy event - "ET" has achieved results at the box office in Asia and North America.

Asian side.

Xiangjiang

"ET" made a total of 27.5 million Hong Kong dollars at the box office in Hong Kong.

In fact, "ET" has long been drawn offline in Golden Harvest and Shaw Theaters, but "ET" has always been screened in several theaters of the Golden Princess, and the number of viewers is still constant, so it has been delayed until now.

After excluding the cover fee, publicity fee, and miscellaneous expenses, "ET" earned Xu Cun more than 16 million Hong Kong dollars in Xiangjiang.

Bend

"ET" made a total of 137 million Taiwan dollars in box office in Taiwan.

This achievement is not only double the achievement of "ET" in the Taiwan bend area in the previous life, but also broke the box office record of Taiwan bend with the overwhelming momentum.

The reason why "ET" was able to achieve such brilliant results in the Taiwan bend area is not only related to the excellent production of "ET" itself, but also related to the fact that "ET" inspired the national enthusiasm of the people in the Taiwan bend area. The authorities even forced all teachers and students in all schools in the Taiwan area to watch "ET".

After deducting all expenses, "ET" earned Xu Cun nearly 50 million Taiwan dollars in Taiwan.

Nanyang

"ET" grossed a total of US$46.2 million in Nanyang.

This result also refreshed the box office record of the entire Nanyang region (due to some special reasons, "ET" was not released in some regions.).

This brilliant achievement in the Nanyang region is not only due to the excellent production of "ET" and aroused the national enthusiasm of the Chinese, but also has a lot to do with the joint release of "ET" by Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest.

After deducting all expenses, "ET" earned Xu Cun fifteen million dollars in the Nanyang region.

Japan

"ET" has achieved a total box office of 19.3 billion yen in Japan. At the same time, "ET" also refreshed the Japanese box office record in Japan. In addition, Japan is also the region where "ET" has the most box office in Asia.

After deducting all expenses, "ET" earned nearly 6 billion yen for Xu Cun in Japan.

South Korea

"ET" had 1.72 million moviegoers in South Korea-this result is definitely a miracle in South Korea, which is still very backward!

After deducting all expenses, "ET" earned Xu Cun 6.4 million Hong Kong dollars in South Korea.

In Japan and South Korea, "ET" can achieve such brilliant results, which is also directly related to the excellent production of "ET" and the joint release of "ET" by Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest.

By the way, without the joint release of "ET" by Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest, Xu Cun believes that "ET" would lose at least 30% of the box office in Japan and South Korea, including Nanyang.

Total: "ET" grossed $137.55 million in Asia.

"ET" earned Xu Cun a total of 220 million Hong Kong dollars in Asia, which is 44 million U.S. dollars in US dollars (this does not deduct the production cost and publicity expenses of "ET").

From the perspective of Asia alone, the achievements of "ET" are indeed not small, and it can even be said to be terrifying! However, compared with North America, the achievements of "ET" in Asia are not enough.

North America

In North America, "ET" was released one after another for nearly 70 days, with a total box office of 310 million US dollars.

This result is 40 to 50 million dollars worse than the previous "ET" achieved in North America.

For this, Xu Cun is already mentally prepared - after all, Xu Cun is not the pure beauty of Spielberg.

According to the box office allocation ratio that Xu Cun had discussed with Langmeyer before, Xu Cun could get a total of 88.35 million US dollars from the North American box office.

The production cost of "ET" is 118 million Hong Kong dollars, which is 15.73 million U.S. dollars.

The promotional cost of "ET" was 16 million US dollars. After Xu Cun and Universal Pictures each paid half, Xu Cun only had to pay 8 million US dollars.

In other words, the total cost of "ET" is 23.73 million US dollars.

In Asia and North America, Xu Cun received a total of 132.35 million US dollars.

After deducting the cost of "ET", "ET" made a total of more than 108 million US dollars for Xu Cun.

And this profit of more than 108 million US dollars is not the final profit Xu Cun made with "ET". Because not only "ET" will be released in Central and South America and Europe soon, but Xu Cun's old friend Alan Ryder Jr. is also actively negotiating with Xu Cun's client Jeffrey about the sale and purchase agreement of the copyright of "ET" .
