320. The movie begins
Xu Shi invited him to dinner in the evening, but Zhao Xiaoqing really didn't come, not only Zhao Xiaoqing didn't come, but even the eldest sister and eldest brother-in-law didn't come.
According to the eldest sister, the two old husbands and wives also need some intimate space, so Xu Shi should not disturb them.
So the dinner on this night was Xu Shi and Pu Xiaolu.
"Little deer, come, see what you like to eat, order whatever you want, it can be regarded as my thank you for taking care of you for so many days. Xu Shi said with a smile.
Pu Xiaolu was not polite and ordered some dishes according to his preferences.
"Would you like to drink some?" asked Xu Shi.
Pu Xiaolu subconsciously shook his head, but soon regretted it, but it was too late to regret it, Xu Shi looked at her and shook his head, and also nodded: "That's right, wine is not a good thing, it's better to drink less." ”
When Pu Xiaolu heard Xu Shi say this, he silently stopped talking.
The atmosphere of the next two dinner was quite good, and Pu Xiaolu did not have the shyness he had at the beginning, but talked to Xu Shi.
Pu Xiaolu told some interesting things that happened in the school, and Xu Shi talked about some things about the crew.
Although the topics discussed by the two sides do not seem to have anything in common, neither of them is embarrassed to talk about chickens and ducks, but is very comfortable.
After eating dinner for more than an hour, Xu Shi looked at the time and did not arrange other activities.
Originally, there were, but who would have thought that now there were only the two of them, so they simply didn't look for any more activities and went home directly.
When I returned home, I saw Zhao Xiaoqing eating instant noodles alone.
"You haven't eaten yet?" Xu Shi couldn't help but be stunned when he saw this scene.
Zhao Xiaoqing was a little flustered at first, but quickly calmed down, and said with a bitter and hateful look: "Where can I eat, the teacher has been eyeing me these days, what can I do?"
"You said it earlier, I said it earlier, and I'll bring some back to you. Xu Shi said.
"Forget it, I'll finish my meal quickly, and then I'll have to finish my homework. Zhao Xiaoqing said as if I was very busy.
But Xu Shi watched her leisurely watching TV, which seemed to be busy.
Xu Shi didn't bother to talk about her, but said: "Don't eat these junk foods all the time, it's not nutritious, it's really not good, just go and order takeout, what's the matter?
Who knew that Zhao Xiaoqing actually nodded very seriously and said, "Well, because of some things during this time, I have spent a lot of money, or are you supporting me a little, uncle?"
"It's really gone?" Xu Shi was very skeptical.
"It's really gone!" Zhao Xiaoqing affirmed.
Xu Shi didn't seem to be lying when he saw her like this, so he didn't care about it, and directly called Zhao Xiaoqing 50,000.
Zhao Xiaoqing heard the news of 50,000 yuan coming into the account on her mobile phone, and immediately smiled.
"Alright, let's talk, I'll go back to sleep for a while. "I did drink a little too much last night, and now Xu Shi hasn't completely eased up.
After Xu Shi left, Zhao Xiaoqing immediately grabbed Pu Xiaolu and said, "How is it?
Pu Xiaolu did not hide Zhao Xiaoqing, and told her and Xu Shi about the process of eating.
In the end, Zhao Xiaoqing expressed her opinion, "You are still too cautious, you shouldn't say that you don't drink."
My brother-in-law just drank too much yesterday, and now he will slow down, and I guess a little bit will be too much.
If you're drinking a little more and taking the initiative, you'll probably just take it. ”
Pu Xiaolu's cheeks turned red when she said this, and she said coquettishly: "What do you say?"
"Cut, you're thin-skinned, but it's not in the way, I'm here, by the way, how should you thank me?" Zhao Xiaoqing said.
Pu Xiaolu hesitated for a moment and said, "I'm going to make something to eat for you now?"
"This is what you should do, what about other aspects, such as coming to bed tonight?" Zhao Xiaoqing said with a wicked smile.
"What nonsense, I'm going to cook for you. Pu Xiaolu also couldn't stand Zhao Xiaoqing's hooligan energy, and left immediately.
..........
Xu Shi slept soundly tonight, but the outside world was already lively, and as time passed, the pre-sale box office of "Journey to the West" became higher and higher.
Wait until after 12 o'clock in the evening, and the advance ticket office statistics are staggering!
730 million!
And that's just the first day of advance ticket sales!
Although it is impossible to be so ferocious in the next few days, there is still hope for the impact of 1.5 billion.
You must know that there are so many movies released in China a year, how many can exceed one billion?
There are only seven or eight movies in the sky, and the box office of most movies is hovering around one or two hundred million, and one point is five or six billion.
But now Xu Shi's new movie has exceeded 700 million on the first day of pre-sale, and then it can even exceed 1.5 billion after the pre-sale period arrives.
How can such data not be staggering?
Originally, there were some people on the Internet who thought that Xu Shi would definitely lose a lot this time, saying that Xu Shi had swelled.
But now it seems that Xu Shifeng doesn't know if he doesn't expand, but the probability of losing money is already very small.
Although it is said that if you want to return to the cost of investing one billion, the box office must reach more than three billion to return to the cost, but now it seems that three billion is not very difficult.
Now everyone wants to see what the final box office of the film will be.
At the same time, the various companies involved in this film investment are also elated, they didn't expect Xu Shi's appeal to be really so big, and he actually achieved such a goal during the pre-sale period.
In fact, they participated at the beginning, in addition to Xu Shi's name, a large part of it was because of the price offered by Xu Shi.
Now it seems that fortunately they and others were not too greedy, otherwise they would definitely regret it for life if they missed this opportunity.
You must know that many companies have begun to regret it now, at that time, Yu Liao and they actually found many companies to cooperate, but in the end, only these few agreed.
Although there are many others who are excited, they seem to have grasped that Xu Shihui will bleed heavily, so they want more benefits.
Now that I think about it, I really regret not being at the beginning.
...........
The time is slowly coming to the evening of July 14th, and today is the time when the advance ticket office is completely over.
And just yesterday, the pre-sale box office of "Journey to the West" has exceeded 1.5 billion, and today it may exceed 1.6 billion.
Although everyone guessed such a result a few days ago, when the result really appeared in front of them, many people couldn't help but be shocked.
Xu Shi has completely created a record in the history of Chinese films, and it seems that they have no hope of catching up.
Perhaps in the next ten or twenty years, because of technological or economic development reasons, someone may break the record.
But now, no director or actor in the entire Chinese world has the confidence to break this record created by Xu Shi.
At the same time, Cheng Guochao also instantly appeared on the hot search list, he is the director of this movie, and he is not the puppet director of the past, but a real director.
With such achievements, he can also raise his own value.
Cheng Guochao can be said to have entered the ranks of super-first-line directors in an instant from the original second-tier director, and he will not be excluded by others.
After all, Cheng Guochao is also an old man who has been in the industry for many years, and he is not a novice in the circle.
So although everyone is jealous, they will not exclude him, which can be regarded as another form of seniority.
No, Guochao was not carried away by this glory, he has always been very sober.
After so many days, I don't know how many reporters have interviewed him and dug a hole for him around the corner.
Others asked directly, asking him if he would start his own studio because of leaving Jingwumen this time.
Or maybe Xu Shi will give him shares in order to stay or something.
For these words, Cheng Guochao replied quite resolutely, he said that he would not leave Jingwumen no matter what, unless Xu Shi drove him away!
At the same time, he also said that the success of this movie is largely due to Xu Shi, and his role is far less than everyone thinks.
It is precisely because of these answers that Cheng Guochao's popularity in the circle has instantly increased a lot, and many people have begun to look at him with admiration.
This is especially true of some of the old-timers.
You must know that this is a great honor, but Cheng Guochao does not have the slightest pride, let alone get carried away, which is very rare.
Therefore, Cheng Guochao has not only been popular outside the circle recently, but also more popular in the circle, and many old-timers have expressed optimism about him, and there are even rumors that some people want to let Cheng Guochao enter the Electricity Association.
You must know that the Electricity Association is not an ordinary association, it is not only a social organization, but also a national high-ranking official unit, and the president of the association is a high-ranking official.
It's not something you can get into if you want to.
Now there is a rumor that Cheng Guochao is going to be elected to the Electricity Association, which really frightens many people.
..........
Xu Shi also knew some news from the outside world, but he didn't show any attitude.
If Cheng Guochao really had any hope of entering the Electricity Association, then of course Xu Shi would fully support it, but now there is just a rumor, and there is not even a shadow, so Xu Shi didn't care too much.
On the fifteenth, Xu Shi and his family came to the premiere scene dressed neatly.
It seems that this has become a habit for their family, and as long as Xu Shi has a new movie released, then the family will gather together.
It's actually very good, and we don't have much time to get together all year round, but now we have such an opportunity, and everyone is happy to see it.
However, Xu Shi always felt a little strange this time, because the people in the family seemed to care more about Pu Xiaolu this time.
But Zhang Ran didn't care too much about this matter, after all, everyone loved Pu Xiaolu a lot, just like they treated their own family.
Talking and laughing, talking about trouble, the premiere will start soon, and Xu Shi is also ready to enter.
Xu Shi, Cheng Guochao, Teacher Chen, Teacher Wu....... After these main creators entered the venue, the flash began to flicker wildly.
"Welcome to this premiere, I thank you in advance, I won't say much more, if you have any questions, you can ask them directly, but please don't ask some questions that have nothing to do with this movie. "The host is also very knowledgeable, and he really just started with a few simple words.
Instantly, a large number of reporters began to ask about various topics, and then, under the maintenance of the host, they slowly calmed down and began to wait for questions.
This seems to be the beginning of a press conference, and it doesn't stop until someone maintains order.
However, it is also possible that the organizer deliberately did this, which will appear to be popular.
"Mr. Xu, what do you think about the pre-sale box office of this movie before its release?
Xu Shi took the microphone and smiled: "You are playing tricks, it's just a problem, you have three questions." ”
After a little joke, Xu Shi also began to answer the question seriously.
"First of all, I was a little surprised to be able to achieve such a pre-sale box office result, I really didn't expect it.
Once again, I would like to thank our friends for their support, trust, and I would like to assure you that this time we will definitely live up to your expectations. ”
"Maybe everyone thinks I'm talking big words, but I can guarantee that these are not big words, and friends who don't like the plot don't be sad, because this movie is originally a visual feast, and the special effects in it will definitely not lose to the feeling of foreign sci-fi blockbusters. ”
"As for the future box office expectations, I don't have any ideas, the box office depends on everyone's liking, and everything else is a hooligan.
If you like it, you will willingly contribute to the movie ticket, these are the fundamentals. ”
Xu Shi's answer made many reporters shake their heads, this guy is getting more and more slippery, and he used to say some amazing words from time to time, but now it's basically the same.
Although it sounds very sincere, what these reporters want is a breaking point, not sincerity.
Immediately, the reporter targeted Cheng Guochao, hoping to dig out the news from him.
"Director Cheng, this time you should be the most profitable in this movie, I heard that if the box office of this movie can exceed 5 billion, you may enter the Electricity Association, is this true?" These words were completely made up by this reporter, and even Xu Shi didn't know that Cheng Guochao's entry into the Electricity Association had such a big relationship with the box office.
However, it is clear that Cheng Guochao's topicality obviously exceeds that of others.
"There is no such thing, the Electricity Association does not simply rely on the box office of the movie, but also the contribution and ability to the film, I am still far from this aspect, I hope you don't listen to the rumors. Cheng Guochao naturally denied this question.
Whether it's true or not, he can't admit it.
Next, Xu Shi and Cheng Guochao are the focus of everyone's attention, but Teacher Chen and Teacher Wu have not been let go.
Mr. Chen, they all have a very positive attitude towards Xu Shi and some other actors, and most of them are praise.
At the same time, he also responded to the fact that he and Mr. Wu 'had a fight' on the Internet, and everyone laughed and didn't take it seriously.
Time passed slowly, and soon it was time for the movie to officially start release.
That's all for today's interview, so please bring your 3D glasses and enjoy the movie. ”
