Rebirth of the Great Entertainment Empire

…

The hurricane created by "Zhu Xian" was really unexpected by Xu Cun, so much so that Xu Cun did not give "Zhu Xian" the treatment that matched its achievements, such as simultaneous national release.

Today, DreamWorks (US G branch) has completely digested the 20th Century Fox Film Company, which means that DreamWorks itself has the ability to distribute movies in dozens of countries around the world.

The production cost of "Zhu Xian" is nearly 20 million US dollars, and the most advanced special effects technology in the world is used. In fact, it already has the conditions to enter the world stage.

However, influenced by his inherent thinking, Xu Cun has always believed that pure Chinese films cannot achieve good results in the West.

That's why Xu Cun didn't think that "Zhu Xian", a pure Chinese film, will be released globally simultaneously with "ET", "Home Alone", "Ghost Love", and "Back to the Future".

Of course, this also had a lot to do with the fact that Xu Ke, Li An, and Yu Kanping were far less famous than Xu Cunda.

The huge sensation caused by "Zhu Xian" in Xiangjiang completely woke up Xu Cun.

Thinking about it again, Li An's "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and Zhang Yimou's "Hero" are two pure Chinese films that have also won a box office of 100 to 200 million US dollars in Europe and the United States.

then--

Xu Cun made up his mind - he wants to promote "Zhu Xian" to the whole world!

"Isn't life just a gamble? The money I have has reached the point where I can't spend it in a few lifetimes, and I still have the ability to make money continuously. If this is the case, why don't I fight for it for two lifetimes? The next bet on Chinese-language movies? Taking a step back, for me, what does it matter if I lose 30 to 50 million dollars?"

In other words, the moment Xu Cun made the decision to promote "Zhu Xian" to the world, Xu Cun was already ready to lose money and make money.

...

The meeting room of DreamWorks Group.

All the main creators of "Zhu Xian", the main publishers of DreamWorks (Xiangjiang branch), and the main publishers of DreamWorks (US G branch) are all sitting at a conference table that is 20 meters long. Listening to Xu Cun's order from both sides:

“United States, Japan, Korea, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, Canada, United Kingdom, Norway, Sweden, Netherlands, Denmark, Peru, Turkey, Poland, Australia, Belgium, France, Brazil, Spain, Finland, Italy, Greece, Argentina , Israel, I want all these countries to release "Zhu Xian" on September 15th. There is still one and a half months before September 15th. I want you to do your best to promote "Zhu Xian" within this month and a half! There is no upper limit on promotional fees, I only want results, that is to say, I only want box office!"

September 15th is not an important day, and the next two to three months will be the off-season for the film market in most countries.

But what Xu Cun wanted was this off-season with no competition—in the peak season, how could "Zhu Xian", an alternative blockbuster compared to Hollywood blockbusters, compete with the prematurely established Hollywood blockbusters and local films from those countries? Therefore, "Zhu Xian" might as well take a slanted sword and fight hard in the off-season!

The domineering Xu Cun unintentionally revealed despite thousands of people, made Zhao Yazhi, Wang Zuxian, Lan Jieying, Zeng Huaqian, Ye Zimei, and Zhu Baoyi involuntarily fascinated and fascinated by Xu Cun, and there were also some other women sitting here. Many women, like Zhao Yazhi, were obsessed and fascinated by Xu Cun, including Liu Jialing, who only had sex with Xu Cun a few times.

Xu Cun's domineering not only makes women fall for him, but also men admire him, especially Xu Ke!

Looking at Xu Cun, who would rather push "Zhu Xian" to the world regardless of the cost, Xu Ke's mind kept flashing through Xu Cun's promise to him, "I will give you a chance to crush Mecca." scene, I thought: "Mr. Xu really fulfilled his promise to me, Xu Ke!"

Xu Cun looked at Shi Nansheng and Zhang Jiazhen and said, "You are responsible for the release of "Zhu Xian", Nansheng is in charge of overall planning, and Jiazhen, you are mainly responsible for European and American countries."

Zhang Jiazhen was born in 1949. After studying film production at New York University, he returned to Hong Kong to serve as the production manager of two Golden Harvest films, namely "Desperate and More" and "Tower of Death II". See.

If Xu Cun did not show up, after Lishi was acquired by Qiu Degen, Zhang Jiazhen would join McDonald Bear Production Co., Ltd. to supervise the production of "Pretty Girl", "Detective Bald Girl" and "Can't Stop Love", and then he will serve as the director of Debao Film Company. Director of distribution, later joined Xu Ke Film Studio as general manager, and served as executive producer for several sets of contemporary classics, including "Blood Heroes", "Swordsman", "China, Japan, North and South", "Tian Luo Di Wang", "Heroes True Color 3 Song of the Setting Sun” and “A Chinese Ghost Story II Human World” have successfully sold these films internationally. In 1990, he and Wu Yusen formed the New Mileage Film Co., Ltd., and the two worked together to create films such as "Across the World" and "Hot Hands". At the same time, he also served as the manager of Zhou Runfa and Li Bihua. In 1993, Wu Yusen entered Hollywood with "Ultimate Target", and Zhang Jiazhen served as co-producer. In 1994, WCG Entertainment, the first Hollywood production company formed by him and Wu Yusen, produced "Broken Arrow", "Face Changing", "Stand-In Killer", "Don't Go", "Fighting the Edge", "Impossible" Familiar movies such as "The Mission 2" and "Anna and the King". Later, he established Lion Rock Production Company with Wu Yusen to produce films such as "Wind Talker", MGM's "Bulletproof Monk" and Paramount's "Memory Rift". In addition, "Red Cliff" and "Red Cliff II" co-produced by the two swept the box office in the Mainland, Japan and South Korea.

It can be said that Zhang Jiazhen is one of the few Chinese publishing talents who can go international.

Zhang Jiazhen was the only one who was personally retained by Xu Cun after he acquired Lishi.

In the past few years, Zhang Jiazhen has been serving as Shi Nansheng's deputy.

After the acquisition of 20th Century Fox Film Company, Xu Cun directly ordered Zhang Jiazhen to take his team to report to DreamWorks (US G branch) and lead the distribution team of the original 20th Century Fox Film Company.

The reason why Xu Cun promoted Zhang Jiazhen was because Shi Nansheng was too busy on his own due to the growing scale of DreamWorks, and secondly...smart people can't put all their eggs in one basket, can they?

The release meeting of "Zhu Xian" lasted from ten o'clock in the morning until the evening. Xu Cun personally accompanied the two release teams and the main creative team of "Zhu Xian" to clarify all the release work before announcing the adjournment of the meeting.
