Rebirth of the Great Entertainment Empire - Chapter 633
…
As the South Korean film “My Sassy Girl” directed by Xu Cun has caused a savage storm, the Japanese film “Love Letter” also directed by Xu Cun has received widespread attention before it was released, which led to the release of “Love Letter” once it was released. Just in Hong Kong, it achieved an average attendance rate of 97% on the first day and a box office of 2.72 million on the first day, and this is nothing. The real abnormal results of “Love Letter” came from Japan— – The box office of “Love Letter” in Japan was as high as 170 million yen (equivalent to more than 1.3 million US dollars) on the first day. According to the current trend, the final box office of “Love Letter” will not reach 10 billion days. Yuan, there will be at least 8 billion yen, if the currency appreciation is also included, “Love Letter” is likely to become the overall champion of the Japanese box office!
“Love Letter” is not only as good as “My Sassy Girl”, its reputation is not lower than that of “My Sassy Girl”. In the eyes of those filmmakers and film critics who pay attention to art, the “Love Letter” that emphasizes art is even better than “My Sassy Girl”. On top of the business-heavy My Sassy Girl!
“Undoubtedly, “Love Letter” is the best movie I’ve seen in recent years, even compared to the good movie “My Sassy Girl” I saw two days ago. However, I’m not going to talk about it today. “Love Letter” is not “My Sassy Girl”, but Mr. Xu Cun Xu, the director of “Love Letter” and “My Sassy Girl”.
The author and Mr. Xu met in 1979, a youth comedy with no connotation “Happy Ghost”, which made the author notice Mr. Xu for the first time.
To be honest, although “Happy Ghost” achieved good results at that time, the author did not think that Mr. Xu was great at that time. At that time, he thought that he was just finding the right path for a movie that the audience liked.
But later “Mr. Zombie”, “Fu Xing Gao Zhao” and “Royal Senior Sister” subverted the author’s cognition of Mr. Xu again and again.
The speed at which Mr. Xu moved forward was even higher than the author’s imagination. In 1981, when the author was looking forward to what good Chinese movies Mr. Xu could make, Mr. Xu unexpectedly Conquering Hollywood In Hollywood, a film “ET” that is still the number one in the world box office chart is shot in Hollywood.
After that, Mr. Xu successively filmed “Knife and Horse”, “Home Alone”, “Ghosts”, “God of Gamblers”, “The True Color of Heroes”, “Back to the Future”, “Tang Bohu Points Xiangjiang” and so on. It was a great movie and was awarded the title of ‘The World’s No. 1 Director’.
In this regard, the author has been silent, because the author thinks that Mr. Xu was great at that time, but it is actually a bit too much to call Mr. Xu “the world’s first director”.
It was not until the appearance of “The Matrix” that the author felt that Mr. Xu had some of the appearance of “The World’s No. 1 Director”, but at that time the author did not speak out.
Now, Mr. Xu has produced two good films “Love Letter” and “My Sassy Girl” with local characteristics at the same time, and the author can’t help shouting loudly: “Mr. Xu, your ‘world’s number one director’ The identity is well deserved!”
The author is very fortunate to know Mr. Xu and witness Mr. Xu’s film road!
but–
People are rarely satisfied, and the author is not exempt.
The author wants to say to Mr. Xu: “Mr. Xu, you have enough money, come back, go back to the film industry to continue your greatness, continue your brilliance, and come back to those of us who really like you!”
— “Film Biweekly” Chen Bosen.
As soon as Chen Bosen’s article came out, Xu Cun’s reputation hit a new high all of a sudden!
but–
At the same time, this article also caused a lot of trouble.
One of them was, “Which is better, “Love Letter” or “My Sassy Girl”” caused a debate that lasted for months – both films have won the support of many die-hard fans, And most of them are female fans, including Yi Shu, Lin Yanni, Qiong Yao and other famous female writers.
In addition, there is another trouble that a group of boring people actually launched the activity of ‘invite Mr. Xu back to the film industry’, and the momentum made it quite huge.
Later, Xu Cun, who really didn’t want to attract attention because of this kind of thing, asked Li Kui to publish the sentence “I never left!” in all the newspapers and magazines under DreamWorks Newspapers, and asked Li Kui to accompany the newspaper industry. Say hello and ask them to stop publishing related stories.
Some people may ask, can Li Ke, a 17-year-old girl who has just entered the industry, say hello to her peers to suppress relevant reports?
The answer is… yes, very good!
Just as “Love Letter” and “My Sassy Girl” were hot in Asia, Lai Kui performed a feat that made his peers in the newspaper industry dumbfounded – Lai Kui actually made “Sing Pao” in a very short period of time. , “Sin Chew Daily”, “Sing Tao Daily”, “Sing Tao Evening News”, “English Standard” and “New Modern Pictorial” have all been acquired, becoming a new generation of ‘press queen’!
Although this result shocked people in the newspaper industry, it was nothing compared to the process!
Lai Cui first bought the “Sing Pao”, which is currently only worth more than 700 million Hong Kong dollars, from He Wenfa and his son at a super high price of 900 million Hong Kong dollars and kept it secret.
Immediately afterwards, with the help of Huang Yulang, Li Kui paid a price that the other shareholders of Sing Tao Newspaper Group and Paramount Group, except Hu Xian and Zheng Jinghan, could not refuse them. Bought a large share of Sing Tao Newspaper Group and Paramount Group.
At the same time, Li Ke and Xu Cun also borrowed two acquisition teams to swept the stocks of Sing Tao Newspaper Group and Paramount Group in the stock market.
By the time Hu Xian and Zheng Jinghan realized that their company was being acquired, Hu Xian and Zheng Jinghan had already lost their controlling stakes in Sing Tao Newspaper Group and Paramount Group—in fact, here Hu Xianhe Zheng Jinghan had already lost.
but–
Where are Hu Xian and Zheng Jinghan so easy to admit defeat?
Knowing that they had lost their controlling stakes in their respective companies, Hu Xian and Zheng Jinghan immediately used their contacts accumulated in the newspaper industry for many years to find several media to launch a public opinion offensive, saying that Li Ke was acting domineering and maliciously acquired the same industry for many years. Struggling to the death this way!
But as soon as Hu Xian and Zheng Jinghan launched a public opinion offensive, Li Kui revealed his other identity – the director-general of Yulang International.
Then, Li Kui used the newspapers and magazines he mastered, with the cooperation of Phoenix TV and TVB, to shake out all the malicious acquisitions of Yulang International by Hu Xian and Zheng Jinghan, and claimed that he was just an eye for an eye. A tooth for a tooth.
At this point, in fact, it is already a confused account – it is not clear who is the first hostile takeover, at least outsiders can’t understand.
At this time, Li Kui said again, “DreamWorks Newspapers will never be too big!” – There are thousands of foxes in the newspaper industry. Naturally, this warning from Li Kui can be especially relevant to others. People read it out: “If any of you dare to help Hu Xian and Zheng Jinghan again, my aunt will buy your newspapers and magazines together!”
Xu Cun is so rich that even if he acquires the entire Heung Kong Newspaper industry, it would be effortless!
Therefore, no one did not believe Li Kui’s warning.
In addition, Hu Xian and Zheng Jinghan have already lost.
Moreover, smart people can see that with Xu Cun’s support, Hu Xian and Zheng Jinghan at the feet of Li Kui will never have a chance to turn over.
Therefore, after Li Ke’s warning was released, most of the media who helped Hu Xian and Zheng Jinghan beat Hu Xian and Zheng Jinghan began to prevaricate Hu Xian and Zheng Jinghan for various reasons.
Hu Xian and Zheng Jinghan have been in the newspaper industry for many years. How can they not know that their general trend is over?
Frustrated, Zheng Jinghan transferred all his newspaper industries such as “New Modern Pictorial” to Li Kui, and then left the newspaper industry completely with the Paramount Group, which had cut off the newspaper industry.
Hu Xian talked with Li Ke four times successively, and found many intermediaries, including Hong Kong Governor David Wilson, to find Xu Cun behind Li Zi to talk about it.
But the result was: Li Ke not only did not mean to let go, but also used additional stock issuance, sweeping stocks in the stock market, and injecting capital into Sing Tao Newspaper Group to dilute Hu Xian’s equity in Sing Tao Newspaper Group. As for Xu Cun, during this period of time, he was always moving in Japan and South Korea, and he did not give Wilson and others a chance to see him~www.mtlnovel.com~ After struggling for more than a month, Hu Xiancai A final agreement was reached with Li Ke – Hu Xian sold all the shares of the Sing Tao Newspaper Group in their Hu family’s hands to DreamWorks News at a price of 600 million Hong Kong dollars, and then Hu Xian returned to Singapore to create a company called The newspaper of “Headline Daily”.
At this point, the battle is completely over.
In this battle, Li Ke not only made people in the newspaper industry remember her name, but also left the impression of a domineering female president in the newspaper industry – Hu Xian and Zheng Jinghan, especially those with money and background. Hu Xian, a senior who has been stunned in the newspaper industry for decades, was completely crushed by Li Ke without even having a chance to fight back. , how can you not leave the impression of a domineering female president in the newspaper industry?
As a result, in the newspaper industry, especially in the Hong Kong newspaper industry, Li Ke became a ruthless man that no one wanted to provoke or dared to provoke.
Therefore, after Li Kui greeted his colleagues, the voices shouting “Please return to the film industry, Mr. Xu” immediately became smaller and disappeared completely in a short time.
