Rebirth of the Great Entertainment Empire

…

"Give me two copies of Bat Legend."

"Sorry, sir, "Bat Legend" has been drawn."

"Did you download it? I haven't read it yet, so why did you download it?"

"..."

"What movie is there now?"

"'Happy Ghost'."

"Who is starring?"

"Xu Cun, Luo Meiwei, Li Saifeng, Wen Bixia, Dong Wei."

"Er... I've never heard of any of them."

"..."

"Who directed it?"

"Xu Cun."

"I haven't heard of this director. Are there any other movies?"

"Excuse me, sir, there is only one "Happy Ghost"."

"Then what happens?"

"It's also "Happy Ghost"."

"What's next?"

"From now until the 11th, "Happy Ghost" will be played."

"...Give me two copies of "Happy Ghost"."

...

"Brother Long, you really brought your younger brother to praise Xu Cun's place!"

"Of course, just because of Xu Cun's "Shanghai Bund"'s temper towards me, I can't save these tens of dollars."

"It's still Brother Long who is righteous, not like a dog face, saying that he brought twenty younger brothers to praise Xu Cun's scene, but in the end he disappeared from the world."

"Big Mouth Bear, didn't your mother teach you that if you speak ill of others behind your back, will your tongue be rotten?"

"Hey! Ah Fa is also here, and he has brought so many brothers. Well, thank you on behalf of Xu Cun."

"Fart! What are you, worthy of thanking me as my idol?"

"Come on, can't I just be sentimental? Boy who sells movie tickets, give me six "Happy Ghost"."

...

"These three girls are on point, especially the one on the right side of the ghost, her legs are so straight and white, and she looks so pretty!"

"The girl on the ghost's back is pretty. Those little feet are so pretty!"

"I like the one on the left of the ghost, how cute!"

"Daniu, so you like this type, tsk tsk, the girl with the eyes is yours. I want the one with straight legs, and the one with the little feet is for Ah Sheng."

"That's it, let's go, buy a ticket... Ah Yin, you give me back the newspaper, and I'll cut out that girl with little feet and stick it on the bedside of the dormitory to read every day."

...

The premiere of "Happy Ghost" was not bad - on July 20th, only "Fat Dragon Crossing the River" starring Hong Jinbao in Xiangjiang was not bad.

However, although "The Fat Dragon" is not bad, it has been in theaters for more than a week, and many viewers have seen it. Most of these people came to the cinema and chose "Happy Ghost", which had been promoted in "Oriental Daily" for half a month. In addition, Xu Cun's many brainless fans came to praise Xu Cun's scene, and the youthful beauty of Luo Meiwei, Li Saifeng, and Wen Bixia also attracted many young audiences. Most importantly, the Shaw Brothers' sixteen theaters were shamelessly monopolized by Xu Cun. Therefore, the attendance rate of the premiere of "Happy Ghost" is not too ugly, reaching 37%.

...

The third row from the bottom of the Lee Stage.

Xu Cun brought Li Saifeng, Luo Meiwei, and Wen Bixia to watch the premiere of "Happy Ghost".

After turning off the lights, Xu Cun's left hand naturally grabbed Li Saifeng's right hand, and Xu Cun's right hand stretched towards Luo Meiwei's waist with ease. Xia was completely ignored by Xu Cun.

...

The movie starts showing.

The first thing to play on the screen is the title of DreamWorks' animation:

In the blue night sky, there are a few gray-blue clouds floating.

A bright crescent moon in the center of the cloud.

While the clouds were floating, a stone connected by a thin line fell down, splashing a ripple between the clouds and the crescent moon.

It turns out that the clouds and the moon are just reflections cast in the water.

In the sky, a little boy is sitting on the crooked moon, holding a fishing rod and fishing.

In the end, the crooked moon turned into a letter D, and immediately after the D, a line of "DreamWorks" appeared in English.

Immediately afterwards, the three characters "Dreamworks" floated out of the sky-the style of these three characters was consistent with those in English, and they were all written by the Japanese calligraphy master Yuichi Inoue (in fact, Xu Cun originally wanted to find a calligrapher from his country. The person who wrote these words, even if he did it himself, is a pity that Xiangjiang still can't do the opening animation of DreamWorks, and Xu Cun, who is anxious to let "Happy Ghost" be released, has no time to wait, so these words are only Let Miyazaki Shun’s good friend Yuichi Inoue write it. However, Xu Cun made up his mind to change these words when he has the opportunity in the future.).

That's right, the opening animation of DreamWorks is the opening animation of Hollywood DreamWorks. Moreover, even the music was composed by Williams, Spielberg's royal soundtrack composer.

Xu Cun couldn't help feeling bitter when talking about the 20-second opening animation.

If more than 30 years later, Xu Cun can use a computer to make this simple animation. However, in the late 1970s, Xu Cun was really stumped.

Xu Cun and Zhong Zhen ran around for three days, but they couldn't find a master who could make this opening animation in Xiangjiang.

Just when Xu Cun was about to give up, Xu Jixin introduced Xu Cun to a Japanese named Nakajima Ono.

Nakajima Ono is just an ordinary Japanese paper businessman. But what makes him unusual is that he is good friends with the famous Japanese animator Jun Miyazaki.

Later, Xu Cun paid 5,000 Hong Kong dollars and asked Nakajima Ono to act as an intermediary to contact Miyazaki Jun.

Then, with the help of a female translator from Oriental Daily, Xu made more than three hours of overseas phone calls with Jun Miyazaki before explaining what he wanted.

After listening to Xu Cun's request, Miyazaki Toshi agreed to help Xu Cun produce the title animation of DreamWorks, but the price was 3 million yen, which is nearly 100,000 yuan in Hong Kong dollars. In addition, Jun Miyazaki also put forward a condition - if Xu Cun, who is in a hurry, wants to deliver the goods to the door, then Xu Cun has to pay all the expenses spent by the delivery person, including the salary of the delivery person.

The title of the cartoon is related to the force of DreamWorks. Therefore, although Jun Miyazaki's conditions were very harsh, Xu Cun gritted his teeth and agreed to Jun Miyazaki's conditions.

But then again, you get what you pay for! Jun Miyazaki's craftsmanship is not only worthy of Xu Cun's money, but also worthy of his great master in the animation industry in the future.

Lin Zhengying and others were all dumbfounded after watching the opening animation of DreamWorks produced by Shun Miyazaki.

However, it is not surprising that Lin Zhengying and others are making a fuss—people who have never been in touch with CG animation will feel a kind of feeling when they see the opening animation of DreamWorks for the first time and hear the soothing and misty music copied by Xu Cun from Williams. Fantastic feeling.

Just like the audience in the theater at the moment—the original noisy audience lost their voices collectively after seeing DreamWorks' opening animation, the theater became silent in an instant, and the audience's attention was all concentrated on the big screen.

"Boom!"

Accompanied by lightning and thunder, a man in a long gown and braids walked into the ruined temple, then stepped on the altar and hanged himself in front of the statue.

The movie begins...
