Xu Shi still doesn't know that his niece has set up a post bar for him, not only a post bar, but also some video website accounts, and she is also a self-proclaimed young master.

After watching the movie, Xu Mingjie and Xu Xiaoxiao still had something to do, Xu Shi and his family went to visit the night market in the capital together, chatted, and had a supper by the way.

During this period of time, Zhao Xiaoqing and Pu Xiaolu, the two little girls, kept muttering and talking with their mobile phones, and were taught many times by Xu Yan and Pu Xiaolu's mother.

Xu Cheng and they are going to play in the capital for two days, it happens to be a small long holiday on New Year's Day, relax, and they miss their daughters a little bit, so they are not in a hurry to leave.

Xu Shi's mind is now completely on the box office and word-of-mouth of the movie, not that he cares much about this movie, but that the box office and word-of-mouth of this movie are related to his future plans.

Only when the box office is good and the word-of-mouth is biased towards drama, does he have the capital to talk to Cheng Guochao about the director.

Although Xu Shi has never done business, Xu Cheng told him, as well as some of his own knowledge, that when cooperating with friends, you must talk about interests, and you must put them in the first place, otherwise most of the cooperation with friends will be frustrated, and the relationship will be stiff.

The next day, as soon as Xu Shi came back from running, he saw Xu Xiaoxiao standing at his door.

"Why did you get up so early, did you rest?" asked Xu Shi.

Xu Xiaoxiao said with a smile: "Rest, uncle, yesterday's box office was 18 million, and the reputation on the Internet is not bad, especially in terms of plays, which are basically applauding."

According to the current degree of fermentation of online word-of-mouth, the box office should continue to rise in the coming week. ”

Xu Shi was stunned, he didn't expect Xu Xiaoxiao to come early in the morning to talk about this, but then he understood, and said with a wry smile: "You, you, can you not think so much, aren't you tired?"

He knew that his mind had been guessed by Xu Xiaoxiao, or he had already guessed it, so he came to tell him the good news as soon as possible.

Xu Xiaoxiao smiled and said: "It's nothing, I'm used to it, I always feel insecure if I don't think about it a little more." ”

Although Xu Xiaoxiao said it easily, Xu Shi was very distressed in his heart, especially when he saw Xu Mingjie yawning on his head at this time and being dragged out by Jiang Yue to eat.

However, seeing Jiang Yue on the side, Xu Shi didn't say anything, Jiang Yue of the province was too worried, and just looked at Xu Mingjie with unkind eyes, which made Xu Mingjie a little confused, how did he provoke his uncle?

Xu Shi rubbed Xu Xiaoxiao's head and said with a smile: "Okay, Uncle knows, it'll be fine after a while, everything will be done in the future, don't hide anything from us, Uncle can still help a little." ”

"Mmmm, I know, Uncle is the most powerful. Xu Xiaoxiao raised her little head and said with a grin.

Xu Shi knew that since Xu Xiaoxiao had guessed his thoughts, Cheng Guochao should have guessed it too, and it was estimated that he had this meaning when he asked him about the director yesterday.

In this case, Cheng Guochao is actually waiting for the box office and evaluation of the movie, which is also related to his later choices.

In fact, although these look a little not very good, it seems to be a careful trick on friends, but in fact, this is a normal friend relationship, of course, this does not include those who make small friends and the like.

If there is an entanglement of interests in the relationship between friends like Xu Shi and Cheng Guochao, it will gradually become stronger in the future, otherwise such a friendship relationship will gradually fade away after a while.

Xu Shi and Cheng Guochao are waiting, waiting for the final result to come out, if it is a box office hit, and it has a lot to do with the play, then Cheng Guochao will agree to Xu Shi's request to become the director of "One Man's Martial Arts", if it is the opposite, then Xu Shi will not make this request.

It can be said that both parties know it at this moment, of course, even if the final result is what Xu Shi expects, Xu Shi must owe Cheng Guochao a favor, and this favor is not small.

Let a director like Cheng Guochao be a puppet and only be responsible for filming, which is really not something that ordinary people can do.

In the next few days, Xu Shi accompanied Xu Cheng and them to visit the capital, while paying attention to the box office of the movie.

With the fermentation of word-of-mouth, the box office increased significantly in the next few days, and the highest day almost reached 30 million.

A week later, the box office of the movie "Excalibur" reached 160 million, which completely exceeded everyone's expectations.

According to the investment of 60 million, after deducting 5% of the special fund for film development and 3.3% business tax, the distributor and producer take the remaining 43%, that is, almost more than 63 million.

So the next thing is basically pure profit, and according to the current momentum, the final box office of this movie is likely to exceed 500 million.

Xu Shi doesn't know how the box office share they talked about at the beginning was distributed, whether it was fixed or laddered, but anyway, judging from the current situation, this movie has made a lot of money, and it is a big profit.

It was also on this day that Xu Shi found Cheng Guochao, now that he already knows the result, and judging from the comments on the Internet, the martial arts scene played a vital role in the box office of this movie, so there is no need to delay it any longer.

Cheng Guochao seemed to know that Xu Shi was coming, and when Xu Shi arrived, he had already prepared the meals.

"Brother Xu, here, please sit down, let's talk while eating. Cheng Guochao said with a smile on his face.

At this moment, he is extremely excited, although the current box office is far from the billion-two billion compared to other blockbusters, but this is already a peak of Cheng Guochao, and few domestic directors can do this.

Xu Shi smiled and sat down, and then congratulated: "Congratulations, congratulations, the box office is a big hit." ”

"Haha, thank you for these, if it weren't for the play you directed, how could you have your current results, by the way, you are also popular, and now there are many people on the Internet discussing you. Cheng Guochao laughed.

Xu Shi also saw it on the Internet, but he didn't care too much: "This one of mine is too vain, it will stop after a while, and no one will remember me then." ”

Xu Shi understands these very well in his heart, don't look at the hot discussion on the Internet now, but it won't take long for his popularity to pass, after all, he doesn't have any works that he can handle, let alone starring in a movie or TV series.

Cheng Guochao shook his head and said: "You are wrong, Lao Wang's side is almost finished, and it will be released in about three or four months."

Just now, when Lao Wang called me to say goodbye, he told me that he would use your stills as a promotional poster, and the popularity would not drop at that time, and it would even be even higher.

If your own film can catch the following time period, then you may be able to leave a complete impression on the public's mind with this wind. ”

Cheng Guochao was a little surprised as he spoke, Xu Shi's time arrangement was really good.

made a name for himself in this movie, had a little popularity, and then Wang Lixin's movie stabilized his fame, and finally happened to take over his own movie.

As long as there is no problem with his own movie, then Xu Shi's development is simply perfect, and he can really leave an impression in the hearts of the audience.

If it weren't for Xu Shi's role as the big boss that he went to Xu Shi to play by himself, he would have wondered if these were all in Xu Shi's calculations, everything was too coincidental, and it was very perfect.

Xu Shi was also stunned for a moment when he said this, where did he think of this, thinking about it carefully, it was really like that.

However, the purpose of Xu Shi's coming this time was not to listen to good words, and after chatting with Cheng Guochao for a while, Xu Shi said his purpose.

Cheng Guochao had the same guess as Xu Shi, and he had expected it in his heart, and said with a wry smile: "Since my brother has said so, I can't refuse it, but at this stage, my time is still a little tight, and I still have some trips to run."

But don't worry, I will arrange the work in advance, such as the lighting and photography of the crew, so it doesn't take too much time. ”

In fact, the reason why Cheng Guochao agreed so happily was because of his movie, which made him realize Xu Shi's ability. What's more important is actually a piece of news.

That is, Xu Shi recruited all the group performances of Hengdian who knew martial arts, and it can be said that the people around Hengdian can basically play in the group performances, and the people who are good-looking are all on Xu Shi's side.

If you want to shoot a fight scene in the future, no matter what, the first choice must be to find Xu Shi to cooperate, after all, Xu Shi has experience, and he also has box office proof.

Not to mention now, Xu Shi took these people under his own command, so there was basically no one else except Xu Shi.

Xu Xiaoxiao actually said a lot, compared to Xu Shi's ability to design plays, in fact, bringing together Song Liwu and others is the foundation for Xu Shi to really be able to stand and have the right to speak.

Cheng Guochao actually sighed in his heart that Xu Shi was first-class in terms of luck and ability.

He can imagine that as long as action movies become popular in the future, Xu Shi's position will be stable.

Xu Shi's promise to Cheng Guochao was also expected, but he hurriedly thanked him, and at the same time knew that he already owed Cheng Guochao a favor.
