Today is the last day of class in the last semester of the school, and Zhou Xiaoxun went to school with Lin Qingqing early. The winter and summer vacations of Xiangjiang School are different from those in the mainland, the holidays are relatively short, and the holidays are late, which gives Zhou Xiaoxun more time to tutor, and also has an explanation for Zhou's father and mother.

Jiuzhou Film Company is not too far from the hotel, just across the street, is a two-story office building rented by Lin Jianguo a few days ago, the area is not small, after decoration, the upper floor is divided into several small offices and a large office area, as well as a screening hall, the lower floor is renovated into an equipment room, storage room and several training rooms.

When Xu Jing came to the company, he saw Zhao Xiaojun sorting out some information.

"Lao Zhao, why haven't you seen anyone else?" Xu Jing was a little curious.

"Isn't the company without a shooting plan now, Xiaoxin and they took people out to find a job, most of the people below are novices, and they have to be familiar with the industry environment. ”

Zhao Xiaojun's words are not necessarily to find a job to do, but now the company has no shooting plan for the time being, and it is idle to be idle, so it is better to go out and find some casual work to do, and be more familiar with some rules in the industry.

"Well, you can sort out the accounts and show me later, and I'll write a suitable shooting plan. Xu Jing thought for a while. It's never good to let the company's employees pick up the casual work again, not to mention the lack of popularity, and it is not as fast as participating in the company's film production, the best way is naturally to start a new shooting plan.

Xu Jing does not directly manage the operation company, these things are handed over to Lin Jianguo and Zhao Xiaojun, and he spends more time in the creative process, and Xu Jing naturally does not know much about the company's accounts.

When Xu Jing got the account sheet in the afternoon, he found that the company's expenses were so large unconsciously, and it was no wonder that Han Xiaoxin and others would voluntarily go out to find a job.

Let's talk about the production cost of "Killer" first, the actor's salary cost 1.5 million, including 700,000 yuan for Xu Jing's director, screenwriter, starring and other identities, which still exempts Xu Jing's later soundtrack and editing costs. As the leading actor, Zhou Xiaoxun's salary is 300,000, Wu Zhenyu's salary is 200,000, and some other cameos and tricks are 300,000.

The cost of a movie naturally cannot only be counted as the actor's salary, and the salary of the behind-the-scenes staff is not small, which costs 500,000 yuan, plus 2.5 million yuan for pre-preparation, equipment rental, film, etc., 500,000 yuan for post-production, and nearly 3 million for publicity. The entire "Hitman" movie cost nearly 8 million, and at this time, this film with a production cost is a real big production.

In addition to filming movies, the company's other expenses are also not small, renting office buildings and decoration cost nearly 3 million, plus 1 million was withdrawn from the company's account after negotiations with Xiang Huaqiang that day, and the other 5 million was taken out by Xu Jing from the 9 million miles reserved by himself. So there is actually less than 3 million left in the company's accounts.

3 million, shooting a new movie is not enough, at most it is a preliminary preparation. It's not that you can't make some small-budget movies, it's just that those small-budget movies don't necessarily adapt to the current era, and Xu Jing is not very willing to make some movies he doesn't like.

Looking at the account sheet in front of him, Xu Jing rubbed his forehead, he really didn't know that firewood, rice, oil and salt were expensive, it seemed that this second movie must also ensure the box office. Fortunately, the box office can slowly return after the release of "Killer", otherwise the company's follow-up operation will only have problems.

"What are you thinking? Don't think about it, let's go out and play, let's go to Ocean Park to ride the Ferris wheel again!" But Zhou Xiaoxun came back from school, and when he came to the office, he pulled Xu Jing to go out to play.

If he could choose to start over, Xu Jing would not have mocked Zhou Xiaoxun that day and said that she was a child, especially the glimpse of the divine mending knife, which made Zhou Xiaoxun's glass heart shatter to the ground, and he couldn't stick it back.

In the two days since then, Zhou Xiaoxun has not paid attention to Xu Jing's words, no matter how Xu Jing teases her, she only treats Xu Jing as if she were air. This kind of cold violence made Xu Jing very uncomfortable.

When Xu Jing wanted to coax her a few more words, her eyes were red, she pursed her lips and silently shed tears, she was very aggrieved, and Xu Jing was pierced for a while, and even the eyes of Sun Jiahui and Lin Qingqing's mother and daughter who looked at him had an indescribable strange smell, which made him not embarrassed.

In the end, it was easy to say that he was a four-escort man who ate, drank and played with him for a day, and slept with him for one night, which made Zhou Xiaoxun dissipate his anger.

"Go, go, play, and I have to think about making new movies. "This will Xu Jing naturally have no time to play with this girl.

"Really! What are you going to shoot? Tell me what to shoot? Do you still make a movie about you saving me?" I heard that a new movie was going to be made, and Zhou Xiaoxun was also very happy, especially the scene in "Killer" where Xu Jing relied on each other after saving her, which made her feel full of substitution, isn't Xu Jing the one who can give her a sense of security?

"If you want me to save you all day long, can't you save me once?" Looking at Zhou Xiaoxun's excited appearance, Xu Jing couldn't help but touch her head again.

"I'll save you?" Zhou Xiaoxun tilted his head and thought for a while: "Okay! Okay!

If you save Xu Jing this time, it's quite fun to think about it, Zhou Xiaoxun was happy, and after speaking, he put on a superwoman pose.

"Poof, it's beautiful! It's not sure if you're in the movie, take it out quickly. Xu Jing was also amused by Zhou Xiaoxun.

"What?" Zhou Xiaoxun had a smile on his face, looking like he didn't understand what you were talking about.

"Don't be fooled, you have to show me a good report card. ”

"Oh, oh, the report card, that, when the teacher was sending out the report card, there was a sudden gust of wind, and then, and then it blew away, hehe, hehe. Zhou Xiaoxun's eyes rolled wildly, and he said stupidly, the word "suddenly" was bitten very hard.

“。。。。 "Can you find a more stupid reason?" Xu Jing didn't speak, just looked at Zhou Xiaoxun quietly.

"Alright, alright, I'll show you. Zhou Xiaoxun was looked at by Xu Jing for a while, and then took out the report card from his bag and handed it to Xu Jing, but he lowered his head, didn't dare to look at Xu Jing, and muttered in a low voice.

“。。。。 Looking at the transcript in his hand, Xu Jing was even more speechless, and none of the courses were passed. In fact, Xu Jing has always asked Lin Qingqing to tutor her, and she specially invited a tutor to teach her English without a foundation, but she didn't expect that all the red lights were still on, which was really nerve-wracking.

"You, don't think about movies, study with peace of mind, and when you can pass the exam, I'll let you film. "Xu Jing doesn't want Zhou Xiaoxun to throw away his studies for the sake of filming, otherwise how can he explain to Zhou's father and Zhou's mother?

Zhou Xiaoxun raised his head and looked at Xu Jing for a while, paused for a while, put the bag on the table, and then sat on the sofa, pursed his lips and did not speak, his eyes turned red after a while, his eyes flashed with tears, and he blinked his eyes, that is, he was aggrieved and helpless.

Xu Jing couldn't help but close her eyes, sighed, and rubbed her eyes. Here we go again, what a grinding goblin.

Xu Jing spent two days writing a new script, which was planned to start filming in early October, and then explained to Zhao Xiaojun and others to do the preparatory work, and he took Zhou Xiaoxun to do some preliminary training.

As for why Zhou Xiaoxun was allowed to shoot again? What can Xu Jing do? He can't help it, if he doesn't agree, he is afraid that Zhou Xiaoxun's overflowing tears can fill the Pacific Ocean, coupled with those pitiful little eyes, Xu Jingneng can support three minutes to be considered the sky.

TVB is still pushing the trailer of the MV version of "Killer" every day, and the stirring and tactful style of music and the euphemistic vicissitudes of life lyrics have made countless people full of curiosity about the stories in the MV. What kind of emotion will make people sing the song of "I have met your sincere arm and accompany me through tribulation", and what kind of story will make people sigh with the emotion of "the sun is infinite, and the helplessness is only brilliant for a breath".

Beautiful music can enter people's hearts and reach the depths of their souls. "Sunset Song" is undoubtedly a good song, and the daily loop of the MV trailer has also driven the sales of the soundtrack album. Huaxing's initial printing of 50,000 copies was sold out in just over a week, and in desperation, Huaxing urgently printed 50,000 copies of the factory overtime, which temporarily alleviated the rush to buy in the market, of course, these 100,000 albums are far from bottoming out, but it still needs time to ferment.

In the original time and space, as soon as Chen Huixian's "Song of a Thousand Thousand Que" was launched, it was restocked, out of stock, replenished, and out of stock, and sold 350,000 copies in three months, and one month after the launch of "Song of a Thousand Thousand Que", Mei Yanfang's "Song of the Sunset" also sold 200,000 copies in three months.

Xu Jing and Zhou Xiaoxun's fame and appeal naturally cannot be compared with Chen Huixian and Mei Yanfang, who are already superstars in the music industry, but with the promotion of MV, they still sold nearly 100,000 copies in less than three weeks, which is already close to the standard of double platinum records, and it can undoubtedly contribute a lot to the promotion of the movie.

On July 8th, this night is the ceremony of the first midnight test screening of "Hitman".

Midnight preview screenings are a ritual unique to Heung Kong films, popular in the 70s, when filmmakers would arrange premieres in a group of cinemas at the same time, with students, young couples and unemployed vagrants hanging out in Fengyue venues as spectators.

When a new film is released, it will be screened in theaters at midnight in advance, and the director and producer will listen to everyone's reactions, either backstage or hidden among the audience. The audience who came to watch the movie at midnight was generally more upright, and when they saw the good points, they applauded thunderously and applauded loudly, and if they felt that the film was foolish, they would immediately applaud and even scold.

The midnight show is a kind of grinding for the director, and it is also a test of the quality of the film, which can be used to adjust the structure of the film and modify the hard injuries in time before the official release before the official release, and even the director changes the ending according to the audience's wishes, which has also happened. This kind of midnight screening of directors and films has become an important cultural element in Hong Kong films.

In addition to the company insiders, only Wu Zhenyu arrived at the other external personnel and actors who came to participate in the midnight show, although this is not his debut film, but it is his first film as an important role, and he is naturally more concerned.

When I came to the screening hall, there were already six or seven percent of the audience sitting in the screening hall of about 300 people, and there was still a steady stream of people coming in outside. Everyone is not a big star, and no one recognizes them, Xu Jing signaled and asked everyone to find a place to sit at will, and he took Zhou Xiaoxun to choose a remote corner.

As soon as she sat down, she saw Zhou Xiaoxun take out a small peaked cap and small round-framed sunglasses from her small bag and put them on, as if she was afraid that others would recognize her.

"Poof... Xu Jing couldn't help laughing, and then pressed down the cap Zhou Xiaoxun was wearing with his hand to cover her little face. Zhou Xiaoxun straightened his hat and pursed his lips and glared at Xu Jing fiercely.

After a while, as the lights in the screening hall went out, a projection illuminated the entire big screen.

At the same time, in the dim corner of the screening room, two black figures hurried to a corner of the screening room to find a place to sit down.

"I'll tell you not to be late, you see, the movie has started. ”

"Okay, okay, you didn't know me for the first day, and besides, the movie has just begun. ”

“。。。。 ”
