Hanging up Tang Bin's phone, Xu Rui suddenly felt sleepy, got up from the bed and got dressed, and then went to the bathroom to brush his teeth and wash his face.

He didn't sleep well last night, and his mind was full of things about the show "The Masked Singer" when he was half-asleep and half-awake, although as the saying goes: people must not be half-hearted, otherwise they may end up with nothing.

However, judging from the current situation, such words do not seem to be suitable for Xu Rui, because since he really stepped into this industry, he has hardly really been idle, whether it is the period of "Everyday Upward" or the follow-up period of "Youth Undefeated", from beginning to end, Xu Rui is opening up the road for his future.

If everything is as Tang Bin said, then the preparation of "The Masked Singer" is almost one-third completed, and the remaining two-thirds are the follow-up recording and final broadcast.

Jiang Provincial Satellite TV attaches great importance to Xu Rui, so even the preparation of "The Masked Singer" is the same, and insiders can't help but pay great attention to this unprecedented program, and even the local news media in Jiang Province have publicly reported some small content on the entertainment page.

Expectation is sometimes pressure, but for people with Xu Rui's character, pressure is the most effective motivation, and at this moment, in his heart, making "The Masked Singer" is even more important than filming the movie "Nightclub".

After all, he will have a long-term cooperative relationship with the TV station for a period of time in the future, and his status as a gold medal producer will be much more important than just a popular artist.

After washing up and getting dressed, Xu Rui got up and just walked out of his room, when he saw a familiar figure looking around in the corridor to check the house number on each room.

"Huh? Why are you here, girl? Xu Rui looked at the girl in front of him in amazement.

"Why can't I come. Listen to your tone, do you welcome me? Liu Shishi's face turned cold, and then she put her hands in her jacket pockets and said arrogantly.

"Welcome, who said no welcome!" Xu Rui snorted when he saw this, and he didn't deliberately hide his acquaintances from his acquaintances about filming in the capital, not only Wang Han and others knew. Even a couple of girls in the G7 know it. "But how do you know I'm staying in this hotel?"

"The hotel was told to me by Sister Su Yi. But how many floors to live on is my own guess. Liu Shishi smiled proudly, "I just asked the staff at the front desk, saying that several floors of your place have been rented as a whole, and he said that there are three floors." So don't think about it. It must have been someone from your crew, so I came straight over. ”

"You're so smart...... Xu Rui laughed dryly, and shook his head helplessly, in fact, there is no need to be so troublesome at all, although Liu Shishi is not a first-line star. But because of his outstanding performance in "Undefeated Youth" this year, plus the film and television dramas he has filmed before, as long as he brushes his face and asks, the staff will definitely tell him the floor and room where he lives.

"Of course...... But I'm glad you came out on your own, otherwise there are so many rooms on this floor, and I don't know when I'll find it. Liu Shishi clapped her palms happily.

took the elevator down to the lobby on the first floor with Liu Shishi, Xu Rui did not ask Liu Shishi about the purpose of this trip, but directly led the other party to the hotel's restaurant and had breakfast together.

"I heard Sister Su Yi say that your crew is mainly filming night scenes?" After ordering their meal, the two found a table and sat down. At this time, Liu Shishi finally opened the chatterbox mode and asked questions about the east and west.

"Well, it's almost all night plays." Xu Rui nodded, "By the way, why do you have time to come and see me?" ”

"No time is no time, but since you have come to the capital, I can't assume that I don't know, right?" Liu Shishi blinked. "This drama you're filming is a comedy? What style? ”

What style?

Xu Rui seriously thought about the various shooting techniques and plot collocations of the movie "Nightclub", in fact, style is the most difficult thing to position, because many current comedies can't be as self-contained as Chaplin or Zhou Xingchi, but. All in all, the drama "Nightclub" should be called a 'smart' comedy in the current film market!

"If I had to add a style to the film, it would be a 'smart' comedy, but it wouldn't be brain-burning. I won't laugh and pee, but in general, the points that make people laugh in this movie are very clean and subtle. But it's a good story. Xu Rui chuckled.

"It's the same as the truth, the devil believes you!" Liu Shishi pursed her lips, "I don't know what will happen if it's really released." I heard Sister Su Yi say that the total investment in the drama you participated in is only two or three million, what decent things can be made with such a little money, let alone making movies, it is not enough to make TV series! ”

Shaking his head helplessly, Xu Rui felt that Liu Shishi's idea was still too simple, or that he didn't know much about the current film market.

That's right, in recent years, because of the bombardment of the domestic film market by the Hollywood film team, it has led to a serious loss of the local box office, and it is precisely because of this that well-known domestic directors and film and television production companies have also gambled on big chips to exchange high budgets for the audience's ticket admission.

However, it cannot be said that because of this trend, there is no way out for films made at a small cost, and Ning Hao's "Crazy Stone" is undoubtedly the best example of small cost and high income.

The production cost of more than 3.5 million yuan was exchanged for a box office income of 23.5 million, which is many times stronger than the blockbuster that invests hundreds of millions of dollars at every turn, but suffers Waterloo at the box office.

The investment in the quality of a movie is important, but the success of a movie is not only achieved by money. This is not only possible with the dedication of the actors, but also with the cooperation of the director and the entire crew.

Xu Rui doesn't know how successful "Nightclub" will be, but according to the memories of his previous life, this movie has also created a box office miracle with a small amount of money.

This miracle may not be as amazing as the hundreds of millions of box office, but today, when most domestic films are still standing still, directors like Yang Qing or Ning Hao have undoubtedly made many newcomer directors who have just been in the industry see the dawn of hope.

"Since you think this movie will definitely not be a big hit, do you dare to make a bet with me?" The corners of Xu Rui's mouth twitched, and he laughed.

"What bet?" Liu Shishi asked puzzled.

"I bet that "Nightclub" will not only become a dark horse for small-budget film works in the same period, but I am also sure that the box office of "Nightclub" will not be less than 8 million in the first week of its release! Do you believe it or not? Xu Rui said this, looking at Liu Shishi opposite aggressively.

"Of course I don't believe it, are you bluffing me? If the investment of two or three million is better, it can be exchanged for six or seven million at the box office, even if it is earned, eight million in the first week, big brother, do you understand the film market? Liu Shishi replied angrily.

"You don't care if I understand it or not, since you don't believe it, then let's make a bet. If the box office of the nightclub is not less than 8 million in the first week of release, then you will let me kiss you at that time. Xu Rui deliberately put on a bad look, if nothing else, that is, to kill Liu Shishi's arrogance.

"Okay! I'm afraid of you? If you win, I'll let you kiss, and if you lose, just stand still and let me give you a good beating! Liu Shishi waved her pink fist viciously.

"I'm afraid I won't have a chance to beat me, but let me make it clear in advance, I want a tongue kiss." Xu Rui laughed. (To be continued.) )
