Chapter 207: First Day Box Office

Xu Qing wanted to wave his hand to greet the onlookers, but this was too pretending, and he was not a leader, so Xu Qing greeted those people with a smile, and was also surprised by his popularity, he was not a star, so many people knew him.

These onlookers are basically Chinese, Xu Qing is more well-known in the hearts of these people than Hollywood stars, and Xu Qing's appearance is also very recognizable, handsome, and easy to recognize.

Xu Qing is now a big celebrity in the United States, and he is very famous among Chinese Americans, these people usually find it difficult to see celebrities, Xu Qing, a big celebrity, comes to Chinatown and causes onlookers to be very normal.

At this time, a young girl ran not far in front of Xu Qing, holding a notebook and a pen, and wanted to ask Xu Qing to sign it.

The girl was blocked by the bodyguards, because there were more and more onlookers, and the bodyguards had to surround Xu Qing in a circle to protect her.

Xu Qing asked the bodyguard to let go of the girl, she walked up to Xu Qing, her face was slightly red, and she said to Xu Qing excitedly: "Xu Qing, I am your fan, can you sign for me?"

Xu Qing looked at the girl, a yellow race, listening to her accent, she should also be Chinese: "Are you also Chinese?"

The girl nodded and said, "My ancestral home is Minjian Province of China, and I grew up in the United States. ”

Xu Qing took the notebook and pen, signed and asked, "You should still be in college, right?"

"I went to school at the University of Southern California. The girl said.

Xu Qing's heart moved, the University of Southern California is also a famous school, among which the film school is famous all over the world, the number of USC alumni winning Oscars ranks first in the United States, Spielberg, Lucas, and some big directors are USC alumni.

"From the film academy?" Xu Qing asked again.

The girl took the signed notebook and pen from Xu Qing's hand, and smiled: "Yes." ”

Xu Qing said strangely: "Why did you go to film school? Well, it's not that I hate film school, I just feel strange, you should want to be an actor when you go to film school, Chinese actors are difficult to mix in Hollywood." ”

"I know it's hard for Chinese actors to mix in Hollywood, but I've always had a dream of being an actor, and I want to try it, and if it really doesn't work, I'll quit. The girl said.

This girl is quite courageous, from the moment she first ran to Xu Qing to ask for an autograph, she knew that no one who could go to USC was stupid and knew the situation of Chinese actors in Hollywood.

This girl still chose the USC Film School and wanted to break into Hollywood, especially since she was still a woman, it was even more difficult to break through, and it can only be said that she was full of courage.

After thinking for a while, Xu Qing took out a business card and said: "I have a film and television company, called sunlight film and television, and the scale is not very large now, if you want, you can come and take a look." ”

Xu Qing decided to help this girl, he helped Alice an American before, this girl and Xu Qing are both Chinese, so they should help easily.

Overseas, Chinese can only survive if they are united, and if they meet the right Chinese, Xu Qing doesn't mind helping them.

Of course, Xu Qing is not a bad person, there are also many scum among the Chinese, for these people, Xu Qing is to let them go.

Since Xu Qing became famous, Xu Qing met many Chinese people asking for help, some of them he helped easily, and some of them were scum, Xu Qing told them to get out.

As for this girl, Xu Qing can at least see that she is not a scum, for more than a year, Xu Qing has dealt with all kinds of people, and her ability to see people has improved a lot.

Except for some people who are very good at camouflage, most of them, Xu Qing can make a preliminary judgment of character after talking to them for a few words.

Carlyle said that Xu Qing's ability to recognize people is a talent, others can't learn it, and Xu Qing doesn't know if it's a talent, anyway, this ability is quite good.

The girl took the business card and hurriedly thanked her, she knew that Xu Qing had a company called Sunlight Film and Television, and she knew Xu Qing's other companies very well.

Because Xu Qing is a big celebrity in the United States and often appears in major media, she can learn about Xu Qing from many media.

"What's your name?" asked Xu Qing, the two had been chatting for so long, Xu Qing didn't know the girl's name yet.

"My name is Chen Li. The girl said.

"By the way, a movie co-produced by Sunlight Pictures and MGM is being released, called "Dumb and Dumb", you can go and see it. ”

Xu Qing recommended "Dumb and Dumb" to Chen Li, which was regarded as an increase in the box office, and looking at Chen Li's appearance, it was likely to be watched.

After chatting with Chen Li for a few more words, Xu Qing left and continued to visit Chinatown, but there were more and more people watching Xu Qing, Xu Qing hurriedly turned around, left Chinatown, and returned to the hotel.

At 8 o'clock the next morning, Xu Qing was having breakfast, and when McKay arrived, Xu Qing was surprised: "It's so early, I haven't eaten breakfast yet." ”

McKay sat on the chair opposite Xu Qing, there was only Xu Qing and his bodyguard, and McKay didn't care about the image.

"I've eaten it. McKay said as he moved his chair.

Xu Qing put down the knife and fork and asked, "Is there something wrong?"

"The first-day box office of 'Dumb and Dumb' is out, do you know how?" McKay excited.

Xu Qing rolled his eyes, and when he saw McKay coming to him so early, he thought it was a big deal: "Isn't it the box office of the first day of "Dumb and Dumb", you can call me and tell me that you need to run to the hotel to find me so early." ”

McKay didn't care about Xu Qing's complaints, and still said excitedly: "Do you know what the box office of "Dumb and Dumb" is?"

"Don't sell it, I don't want to guess. Xu Qing was speechless.

Seeing that Xu Qing was a little impatient, McKay said: "The box office of "Dumb and Dumb" reached $18 million on the first day!"

Xu Qing sighed, but there was no big reaction.

McKay said depressedly, "Aren't you surprised?"

"Is this first-day box office very powerful?" Xu Qing only likes to watch movies, and does not pay attention to the meaning behind the box office.

McKay patted his forehead, very helpless, he thought that Xu Qing had opened a film and television company, and at least he should know some information about the box office.

Taking a few deep breaths, McKay said: "It's amazing, it ranks first among the movies released in the same schedule, and if the momentum of "Dumb and Dumb" continues, it is likely to enter the top ten at the annual box office."

The investment of "Dumb and Dumb" is only 20 million US dollars, which is a medium-budget production in Hollywood, and several movies released in the same period can have higher production costs.

It is rare for "Dumb and Agua" to achieve such a box office with such an investment, and the reputation is also very good, we surveyed some audiences, and most of them praised "Dumb and Agua" very highly. ”

Xu Qing's reaction was finally bigger, in fact, Xu Qing didn't care much about the box office, he entered the film and television industry because he liked the influence of this industry and had an important position in his business planning.
