Rebirth of the Great Entertainment Empire

…

There is an end to anger!

After her anger receded, Luo Meiwei began to think about whether she should continue to play the leading role.

"Don't act? Do you want my mother-in-law, who is almost seventy, to raise me? Besides, my tofu has been eaten by that bastard. It's too bad if I don't get something! In addition, my mother-in-law signed a contract with that bastard for fifteen years. If you don't act, will that bastard sue your mother-in-law?" Luo Mei thought for a while.

"Acting? What should I do if that bastard gets worse?" Luo Mei thought about it again.

Time passed by second by second, Xu Cun left less and less time for Luo Meiwei...

When there were only five minutes left, Luo Meiwei cleaned herself up in front of the mirror, and then walked out of the dressing room.

Luo Meiwei has thought about it—he will hide from Xu Cun in the future, and when his wings grow hard, he will find a way to escape Xu Cun's claws.

Seeing that Luo Meiwei came out on time, Xu Cun knew that Luo Meiwei had completely surrendered. So, with a smile on his face, he walked up to Luo Meiwei who deliberately turned his head to the side, and then honestly and unceremoniously hugged Luo Meiwei's waist and kissed Luo Meiwei's small mouth deeply.

Xu Cun didn't let go until he kissed Luo Mei, whose head was blank, until he couldn't breathe. Then he said domineeringly: "That's right! Don't worry, I will treat you well in the future."

Then, Luo Meiwei, who came to his senses, was carried by Xu Cun's belt to the sports field.

Luo Mei, who was walking like a machine, thought sadly: "I'm afraid, before my wings grow hard, I will be eaten by this bastard until there are no bones left..."

...

When approaching the sports field, Xu Cun took the initiative to let Luo Meiwei go, and then walked to the shooting site first, while Luo Meiwei followed Xu Cun like a child who had done something wrong.

Perhaps Xu Cun's training worked, and when the machine was turned on again, the scene of Luo Mei's slight high jump was over in one go.

...

After four days of filming at Tiujingling Middle School, the crew went to Polytechnic University——Tiaojingling Middle School is too poor, but the middle school in "Happy Ghost" is a high-end school, so many scenes were shot in Tiujingling Middle school can't shoot at all.

The dormitory, table tennis room, dance hall, and swimming pool that Zhong Zhen contacted Xu Cun are all in the Polytechnic University.

It cost Xu Cun 10,000 yuan to rent three dormitories, a table tennis room, a ballroom, and a swimming pool from the Polytechnic University for seven days.

Moreover, the table tennis room and dance hall can only be used during the holidays, and they have to be cleaned up after filming.

In addition, if it exceeds seven days, you have to pay more.

Xu Cun didn't want to spend any extra money, so he tried his best to squeeze the crew's rest time and try to finish it within seven days.

It's a pity that no matter how much Xu Cun squeezes, it can't change the fact that most of the crew members of "Happy Ghost" are newcomers. Therefore, the scene at the Polytechnic University still exceeded Xu Cun's expectations, and it took eleven full days to finish filming.

...

Kowloon Maternity Hospital.

Li Saifeng was lying on the bed with a baby borrowed from the obstetrics department.

"Hey, this kid is so strange!" Luo Mei said, biting an apple and looking at the kid.

"It seems to be the No. 2 Zhu Bang." Wen Bixia said while holding up the camera.

"Could it be that Zhu Xiucai was reincarnated as Xiaohua's son?" Luo Meiwei said in surprise.

"Zhu Xiucai? Call me Dad!" Dong Wei said with a ferocious expression.

"Wow..." the baby cried.

"Crack!" shouted Xu Cun holding the camera.

After watching the filming just now, Xu Cun smiled and announced, "I announce that "Happy Ghost" is finished!"

As soon as Xu Cun's words came out, cheers came from the delivery room...

...

After the cheers, Zhong Zhen began to organize the crew to move the filming equipment, and the props team began to tidy up the delivery room.

Xu Cun took out five hundred dollars and handed it to the baby's father, and said with a smile: "Mr. Qian, if you have time, you and your wife must watch our "Happy Ghost", which is your son's first novel. "

"Definitely! Definitely!" The baby's father responded with a smile.

...

At the beginning, Xu Cun's budget for "Happy Ghost" was 500,000 yuan. However, since most of the crew members are newcomers, the final cost of filming was more than 580,000 yuan.

Including the post-recording, soundtrack, editing, printing, etc., the cost of "Happy Ghost" is about 620,000 to 30,000.

Publicity.

When Xu Cun planned "Oriental Fashion" for "Oriental Daily", Xu Jixin replaced Ma Chengkun and promised Xu Cun that he would give Xu Cun a one-month color advertisement in the most conspicuous position of the sub-page for free.

In other words, Xu Cun saved the bulk of the publicity.

...

For post-production, Xu Cun asked Zhao Zhenqiang for help.

Zhao Zhenqiang, who won "Sword Like a Dream", gave Xu Cun a lot of face. He used his contacts to give Xu Cun a convenient door, so that Xu Cun could produce "Happy Ghost" in the shortest time.

After finishing "Happy Ghost", Xu Cun deliberately copied three copies.

This money cannot be saved—if something unexpected happens, Xu Cun's efforts for more than a year will be in vain.

...

After the master film was produced, Zhao Zhenqiang took Xu Cun to Shaw Cinemas to finalize the specific broadcast time.

After discussing with Shaw Cinemas manager Shang Wang Hongbing, Xu Cun set the release time of "Happy Ghost" from July 20th to August 11th, a total of 23 days.

The reason why the seven days were short was that Xu Cun had to make room for Shaw's "Legend of the Bat" and "Five Poisons".

"Bat Legend" starring Ti Lung is scheduled to be released on July 19th, while "Five Poisons" directed by Chang Cheh is scheduled to be released on August 12th.

Of course, Xu Cun could also use the contract to force Shaw Cinemas to screen him for 30 days, but if he did so, he would completely offend Shaw Cinemas, which would be detrimental to the development of DreamWorks.

Moreover, Xu Guanwen's "Deed of Sale" will be released on August 3rd, and "Happy Ghost" will definitely be hit by then, so twenty-three days is enough for Xu Cun.

Seeing that Xu Cun was so upbeat, Wang Hongbing set the basic package fee to 145,000 per day, and gave Xu Cun a discount and charged Xu Cun 70,000 for copying fees and other miscellaneous fees.

...

As soon as July entered, the Supplement of "Oriental Daily" published a picture directly below "Journey to the Misty" with Xu Cun wearing a swimsuit on his back, Luo Meiwei, Li Saifeng and Wen Bixia in swimsuits twisting Xu Cun's ears from left to right colorful movie poster.

The most conspicuous part of the poster reads, starring, director, producer, screenwriter, photography, music, art, editing... Xu Cun.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see at a glance that the purpose of Xu Cun's move is to rely on the youthful beauty of Li Saifeng and the other three to attract audiences to buy movie tickets and ask his loyal fans to pay. The end justifies the means.

In fact, Xu Cun didn't want to do that either, but he really had no other choice - in the entire "Happy Ghost", there is no one who has a reputation in the film industry. If Xu Cun doesn't take advantage of the youthful beauty of Li Saifeng , If he doesn't find his die-hard fans to stand up and cheer, the attendance rate of the premiere may not even be 100%.

So, despite being shameless, Xu Cun did it anyway.

...

While "Happy Ghost" is being promoted like a raging fire, Xu Cun is also looking for a master to produce the animation title of DreamWorks...
