Rebirth of the Great Entertainment Empire

…

The first outsider to arrive was Xu Jixin, the editor-in-chief of "Oriental Daily", and when he saw Xu Cun standing at the door to greet the guests, he smiled and said, "Congratulations, congratulations, congratulations to Brother Xu for becoming the first director of Xiangjiang with a box office of over 10 million. "

"Thank you Brother Xu, I can't achieve this result without the support of you and Mr. Ma." Xu Cun said politely.

"Brother Xu, it's all yours. Mr. Ma and I are just icing on the cake." Xu Jixin waved his hand lightly and said.

"By the way, brother Xu, how is your writing of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" going? "Journey to the Misty" is almost over." Xu Jixin said again.

Speaking of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", Xu Cun had a headache!

The domineering "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" is indeed a masterpiece, but it is too difficult to adapt it into a movie. And Xu Cun had a dream in his last life - to one day adapt "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" into a movie.

Therefore, in order to adapt "Ghost Blowing out the Lantern" into a movie, many scenes and plots in the original work had to be greatly changed.

In this way, it takes more time.

In addition, Xu Cun has been busy recently.

Therefore, until now, Xu Cun has written less than 50,000 words.

Facing Xu Jixin's reminder, Xu Cun could only be a little embarrassed, and said: "This book requires a lot of environmental descriptions, and I am too busy, so the progress is not fast. How about this, don't update "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" twice a day, Let’s change it every day. In the vacant space, you can post another novel by someone else. I’ll hold on to it and make sure to keep updating.”

From the moment he learned that Xu Cun's "Happy Ghost" could earn 10 to 20 million yuan, Xu Jixin knew that it was impossible for Xu Cun to write novels honestly. Therefore, Xu Jixin is already content with the guarantee of Xu Cun's continuous updates.

Handing over Xu Jixin to Shi Nansheng, Xu Cun ushered in his second guest—the great director Li Hanxiang.

Li Hanxiang was seriously ill recently, Xu Cun sent him invitations just out of courtesy, and did not expect him to come. However, what Xu Cun did not expect was that Li Hanxiang came in person dragging his seriously ill body.

Xu Cun quickly went up to help Li Hanxiang walk in slowly, and said with a little blame: "Uncle Xiang, why did you come here in person? Your body..."

"It's nothing serious. I've been lying down for a long time, and my body is stiff. I just came here to move around." Li Hanxiang said.

"What did the doctor say?" Xu Cun asked with concern.

"The doctor advised me to go to the United States for surgery. However, I'm afraid that I won't be able to come back. So, before going to the United States, I want to go back to the mainland for a visit." Li Hanxiang said in a relaxed tone.

Xu Cun knew that Li Hanxiang didn't delay his illness because he went to the mainland first, but he still persuaded him: "Uncle Xiang, as long as your illness can be operated on time, you will be fine. There is no need to rush back to the mainland..."

Li Hanxiang had already made up his mind about returning to the mainland. Before Xu Cun finished persuading him, he interrupted Xu Cun and said, "I've made up my mind, so don't try to persuade me anymore. By the way, I haven't congratulated you on becoming Xiangjiang's first ten-million-dollar director. Congratulations, Cun young!"

"Thank you Uncle Xiang, without your support, I would not be where I am today." Xu Cun said.

"It's because of your ability... Seriously, I originally planned to take you as an apprentice, but I didn't expect that you would quietly become Xiangjiang's first director with a box office of tens of millions before I started the movie." Li Hanxiang sighed endlessly.

"Uncle Xiang, if you are willing, I will worship you as my teacher now." Xu Cun said seriously.

With Li Hanxiang's status in the film industry, Xu Cun has no shame in worshiping him as his teacher. On the contrary, Xu Cun can also borrow some of Li Hanxiang's connections and prestige. Therefore, if Li Hanxiang is willing, Xu Cunzhen will worship him as his teacher.

After hearing Xu Cun's words, Li Hanxiang was very pleased. However, he refused without even hesitating: "With your name as a director with tens of millions of box office, it would not be appropriate for me to accept you as an apprentice. Besides, I have nothing to teach you. Let's be a For Wangnianjiao."

Immediately, Li Hanxiang changed his tone and asked, "How are you and that girl Qingxia doing? I remember you seem to like her?"

"I haven't seen her since our crew finished filming," Xu Cun said.

After that night, Xu Cun did not see Lin Qingxia again. Although every now and then, Xu Cun would write a joke to Lin Qingxia and mail it, but he never received a reply from Lin Qingxia.

Recently, Xu Cun has been considering whether to go to Taipei to find Lin Qingxia in person.

"Qingxia is a nice girl, very spiritual, and you are so talented, you are a match made in heaven, I hope you can get together." Li Hanxiang said again.

Xu Cun said nothing, but said in his heart: "Uncle Xiang, I will definitely fulfill your wish, Qingxia can't escape my palm!"

The two chatted and walked to the table. Then, Xu Cun handed over Li Hanxiang to Zhang Guozhong to take care of him. After that, I went to welcome the guests again.

Then came Li Zhu's family, Xu Cun had a conversation with Li Zhu and Mrs. Li, teased Li Zhi and Li Ying for a while, and then arranged for Li Wo to entertain their family.

To be honest, Xu Cun didn’t know until recently that Li Zhu’s daughter, Li Zhi, was the stutterer in "Young and Dangerous" and the actor who played Zhao Min in Wu Qihua's version of "Yi Tian Tu Long Ji".

In fact, Xu Cun's blindness is not to blame—last year, when Xu Cungang met Li Fing, Li Fing was only six years old. The question is, how could Xu Cun put a six-year-old girl on that sexy beauty?

If he didn't accidentally know the name of Lizhi some time ago, maybe Xu Cun still doesn't know that Lizhi is Li Ting.

Not long after Li Zhu's family settled down, Zhao Zhenqiang and Zhou Runfa walked upstairs hand in hand.

Xu Cun greeted Zhao Zhenqiang and chatted a few words about his new play. Then, Xu Cun turned his head to Zhou Runfa, and said half-jokingly and half-seriously: "Ah Fa, someday you are tired of TV dramas, come to my DreamWorks, and I will definitely make you a first-line movie star."

Since finishing "Shanghai Bund", Zhou Runfa has become TVB's popular niche. TVB not only arranged several TV series for him, Shaw also arranged several movies for him. Therefore, it is impossible for Zhou Runfa to come to DreamWorks now.

However, smart people know to leave a way out for themselves. Therefore, Zhou Runfa said with a smile: "There is a scene that suits me, please think of me, Mr. Xu."

Just at this time, Wang Hongbing came.

Wang Hongbing not only represented himself, but also represented Shao Yifu, so he was the most important guest Xu Cun invited today.

So, seeing Wang Hongbing coming, Xu Cun immediately handed over Zhao Zhenqiang and Zhou Runfa to Shi Nansheng for hospitality, while he himself greeted Wang Hongbing...

...

After all the guests arrived, Xu Cun raised his glass and said, "Welcome everyone to the celebration banquet where the local box office of "Happy Ghost" exceeded 10 million..."
