Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 1081 Unlucky John Woo
"100 million publicity fees?"

In the conference room of Baocheng Cinemas, everyone was shocked by what Pan Disheng said just now. He actually wanted to spend 100 million to promote the movie "Owl and Dumbo".

Facing everyone's shocked expressions, Pan Disheng continued what he hadn't finished speaking.

"In addition to increasing the promotional fee, all the theaters under Baocheng Cinema Line will start discount package activities, giving away Coke and popcorn."

The purpose of Pan Disheng's doing this is very simple, that is to attract more people to watch "Owl and Dumbo".

He held back all his energy to win Lin Daoqiu, after all, the other party just gave him a great humiliation.

You must know that Pan Disheng already regarded Michelle Yeoh as his woman, but he did not expect that Lin Daoqiu would steal her love and snatch Michelle Yeoh from him, which made Pan Disheng really unbearable.

Sammo Hung originally wanted to persuade Pan Disheng not to engage in so many activities, but before he could speak, Cen Jianxun had already shook his head at him to signal Sammo Hung not to speak.

Everyone knew that Pan Disheng had lost his mind at this time and could not calm down. Reasoning with him at this time was simply the most stupid thing to do.

At this moment, the door of the meeting room was knocked open suddenly.

Pan Disheng turned to look at the person who walked in impatiently.

"Mr. Pan, Manager Cen, something happened to one of our plays."

When everyone heard this, they all showed horror. An accident during filming is not a trivial matter.

Cen Jianxun asked quickly.

"Whose drama is it, what happened?"

"The accident happened in the film "Heroes Have No Tears" directed by John Woo. It is said that the actor was accidentally shot with a gun during filming, but we have no way of knowing the specific circumstances."

The staff actually didn't know the specific situation. After all, this incident happened in Thailand. At this time, John Woo's crew was filming in Thailand, and Xiangjiang didn't know what was going on there.

In fact, the real situation is that the crew used live ammunition for convenience, causing an actor to be shot in the thigh.

Although Wu Yusen tried his best to hide this matter, someone in the crew still reported this matter to Xiangjiang.

"It's unreasonable, this Wu Yusen can't do anything, and this time he caused such a big trouble, Manager Cen, you should call him immediately and tell Wu Yusen that from now on, he is no longer a member of Baocheng Cinemas."

Pan Disheng was furious at this time, even a small mistake would make him furious, not to mention Wu Yusen made such a big mistake this time.

If it were someone else, maybe they would persuade Pan Disheng to calm down and make a decision after finding out the matter.

However, since Wu Yusen joined Baocheng Cinemas, he hasn't made any blockbuster movies.

Originally, Woo Yusen wanted 500 million to shoot "Heroes Without Tears" at the beginning of the last time, but Cen Jianxun rejected it without even thinking about it.

Later, he was given 200 million yuan to shoot this movie, entirely because of Tsui Hark's sake, otherwise Woo Yusen might only shoot a small production with hundreds of thousands.

As a result, Wu Yusen suddenly got into such a big trouble at this time. Cen Jianxun didn't have a good impression of him. He felt that Wu Yusen had no ability at all, and he was already an outdated director.

In this case, simply take this opportunity to remove him from Baocheng Cinemas, which can be regarded as saving the company a fortune.

As for the movie "Heroes Have No Tears", Cen Jianxun has already planned to send a director to Thailand to sort out the movie and finish shooting as soon as possible.

Tsui Hark, who was present, didn't know what Cen Jianxun was thinking. He planned to help John Woo and plead with Pan Disheng.

But before he had time to speak, Cen Jianxun had already preempted him.

"Mr. Pan, please rest assured that I will take care of this matter. From now on, John Woo will no longer be the director of our Baocheng Cinemas. As for the movie "Heroes Have No Tears", I will send someone to finish it."

As soon as Cen Jianxun said this, Pan Disheng nodded, and it seemed that his anger eased a little.

The two giants of Baocheng Cinemas have already decided on this matter. If I plead for Wu Yusen now, I will be asking for trouble.

But even though Tsui Hark didn't speak, Cen Jianxun didn't forget him.

"Director Xu, if you want to help others in the future, you must keep your eyes open. Not everyone is worthy of your hand."

Wu Yusen was able to get the investment of 200 million, all because of Tsui Hark's face, this matter is actually no secret in Baocheng Cinemas.

However, when Cen Jianxun said it in public, Tsui Hark still felt a little embarrassed. Such words can be said in private, and there is no need to bring them up on the stage.

"Manager Cen is right, I will definitely keep it in mind."

Tsui Hark nodded with a smile, and he didn't make any excuses, because now is not the time for him to make excuses.

Poor Wu Yusen originally wanted to keep this matter a secret, but when he received a call from Cen Jianxun, he sat down on the chair with a dejected expression, looking dull-eyed.

"Director, are you still filming today's scene?"

As the screenwriter and coordinator of "Heroes Without Tears", Chen Kexin stood aside and looked at the devastated Wu Yusen with a look of bewilderment.

This is the first film he participated in the production of. Because he is of Chinese origin and can speak Cantonese and Thai, he was recruited to work as a coordinator and screenwriter.

"Ah Xin, I have worked hard for you during this period. You can go to the finance company to settle your salary later. I am no longer the director of this movie."

Wu Yusen looked helpless, at this moment he had no way to save himself from the defeat.

No matter how much confidence he has in "Heroes Without Tears", the current Wu Yusen can't arouse his interest in filming. He just wants to pack his things quickly and leave Thailand.

When Chen Kexin heard what Wu Yusen said, he was startled.

However, after the actor was shot before, Wu Yusen's emotions began to become very wrong, but Chen Kexin didn't think too much about it at the time.

"Thank you Director Wu for your guidance during this time, I will definitely remember your previous teachings."

Chen Kexin is just a newcomer to the industry now, he doesn't know what to say, he can only thank Wu Yusen there.

Standing up and patting Chen Kexin's shoulder, Wu Yusen forced a smile.

"If you really like making movies, go to Xiangjiang. There is the most expansive world there, and your aptitude is also good. Maybe you will have something to do at that time."

When Wu Yusen spoke, he had a feeling of being a hero. At least in his own opinion, he had no place in Xiangjiang. As for where he would go next, Wu Yusen himself didn't know.
