While Conan was wailing in the front court, Xiao Xiao and Stallone had already returned to the backstage, bowing to the audience and leaving the studio. Foreign talk shows are not as long as domestic talk shows like footwraps, just a short paragraph.

For the producers of the program team, of course, they very much hope that Xiao Sa can stay on stage for a while, even if his way of dealing with 'Conan' is a little too brutal. But... Who makes the ratings high?

In fact, Conan also hopes that these two can stay a little longer, after all, it has been a long time since they have played so well.

There is no doubt that this will become a classic show, and it will be constantly reopened and viewed in the future. Although Xiao Shi is constantly promoting his movie in this short process, the laughter is remarkable! The creators of other promotional films don't play like this, or...... Don't dare to play like this!!

That night, this episode of the program set off a wave of discussion on the Internet, and after the video was launched on the Internet the next day, it led a frenzy of reading.

Because of the good publicity, naturally, everyone's expectations for the death squad are getting higher and higher.

And even more surprising is LeBron James. He was shot while lying down. But his emotional intelligence has always been very good, so when the reporter asked Xiao Shi in Conan Show that he would use such a cruel method to deal with him and how he would deal with it, he made an exaggerated expression and shouted loudly: "I will shout 'The Expendables are a big box office hit', yes, I don't want to be broken by that guy's neck!" No one in the entire NBA would doubt his prowess, just as no one would doubt whether the Expendables were really a good movie. ”

"So, are you going to watch this movie?"

"Of course. It's not just me who goes. My family, my good friends will go to the cinema to support. LeBron James said very graciously.

"But. He's going to beat you now and become the number one in the league!! The reporter asked a little incredulously, he felt that LeBron James had no need to be so polite to Xiao Shao. After all, the two of them are now the strongest opponents in the league today!

"I know. That's why I'm going to support his films, I hope he jumps into the entertainment industry and stops playing basketball!! LeBron James joked with an exaggerated expression. His words caused a lot of joy in the audience.

Obviously, LeBron James is not a particularly rigid and boring person, so this incident has also added some supporters to him...... After all, everyone likes humorous people.

Time ticks by, fast. It's Friday. In fact, on Thursday night, it was busy, because the death squad was released at zero o'clock!

Xiao Shi didn't stay up late that night, although he tried hard, but in the end he couldn't beat the biological clock. By the time he woke up, it was half past six the next morning. When he finished washing up and went to the living room, he found Barbara sitting there giggling.

Xiao Xiao subconsciously walked over and pushed her: "Hey, what are you doing?" Laughing like this, is the box office good? ”

When Xiao Shi said this, there was a faint expectation in his heart.

But. Soon Barbara gave Xiao Sa a fierce surprise with an excited action, and Barbara grabbed Xiao Sa's hand. He shook vigorously and looked very excited: "You know what? Shaw...... There's a good chance we'll set a North American box office record... Now we've amassed nearly $25 million in beauty, and if nothing happens, we could have grossed $80 million today...... This weekend's box office is expected to exceed 200 million! God, this is a low-budget movie! We didn't actually put in much cash at all, we made a lot of money!! ”

Xiao Sage was not interested in the data Barbara was talking about, and he could only ask in general terms: "How much can we earn?" ”

"According to this trend, it is conservatively estimated that the box office of this movie can reach at least 800 million US dollars in North America, and with other peripheral products, we can earn at least 400 million net income. Add to that box office dividends elsewhere in Europe and Asia...... My God! It's a money grab!!! Barbara didn't dare to continue thinking about it, and she didn't expect to make so much money, originally he thought that the global box office could be 200 million US dollars, plus the surrounding dividends, it would be a good hit. But... Reality gave her a huge surprise, which is simply the probability of baccarat hitting one to one.

"Hurry up and make a sequel." When Xiao Sa heard this, he clapped his hands without hesitation and said.

"No," Barbara quickly calmed down, and then said, "If we make a sequel, Stallone Statham will definitely raise his salary and ask for various dividends." Now that the appeal of the box office is all won over by you, we must think clearly before making a decision, and we will definitely not be quickly carried away by money!! ”

"Well, you have the final say!" Xiao Shi lay down on the sofa, his eyes wide open, thinking about something in his heart...... Why is it so easy to make money? 400 million dollars, that's just the income of North America, and this money can put the whole living room... No, the whole villa is crammed, right? So why didn't I even earn a hundred dollars a year?

Xiao Sao thought deeply.

This is a social problem that has no solution at all.

Although it has only been less than two years, today's Xiao Xiao is completely different from the previous Xiao Xiao, who was just an ordinary member of the six billion human beings, just like a small worker ant in an ant colony, and would not pay attention to it at all. But now Xiao Sage has long been a well-known celebrity all over the world, and his resources and connections are incomparable, so many people like him, as if he is the sun overhead! When it comes to doing things, of course, it is a quick response, and it will naturally become easy to make money.

While Xiao was thinking about life and Barbara was thinking about how to maximize the benefits, the box office was still soaring rapidly...... The film schedule of major theaters is also rising rapidly, because there are too many audiences who want to watch this movie, and movie tickets are simply in short supply!!

Of course, the audience walked into the theater for Chi, and Chick did give them enough surprises in the movie. As of now, Yahoo's media rating is B+. The overall rating of yahoo users is A+, and the IMDB rating is 8.8 points. For an action movie. That's pretty much the best word of mouth.

And almost all professional film critics also gave Xiao Shi a positive evaluation, and considered Xiao Xiao to be the biggest highlight of the movie. This kind of good word-of-mouth will definitely make the box office grow in the long run.

"Without a doubt, this is the best action movie of the year. As a basketball player, Xiao Xiao contributed the most superb acting skills in the whole film, and his action speed seems to be double or even triple that of Stallone's old guys! "CAN's review.

"Audiences will find the silhouette of the film and the unrivalled cast to be familiar, but Chi is the most unexpected surprise and the jewel in the crown." Review of Time.

"I don't want to praise Chia for how great he is in the movie, but I have to say it. If it weren't for Chic, it would have been a super invincible bad movie that exudes a stale flavor and deliberately imitates an 80s action movie. But the appearance of Xiao changed all that, and he reversed the decline with his superb acting skills and sharp and even somewhat ferocious movements, and formed the most stark contrast to the slow-motion fights of the old men, and achieved an indescribable delicate balance throughout the film. Review of the New York Daily News.

"The whole structure of the film is a bit like a trip to the gym with a flat tire, but the sudden addition of a powerful engine gives the whole film a completely different roar." Review by the Washington Post.

“…………”

All the reviews basically agreed that Xiao Squash raised the whole notch and made the Expendables from the structure of a bad movie into a good action movie.

In fact, almost 80% of the people entered the theater for Xiao, and this is the reason why the death squad exploded at the box office.

Soon, Friday passed in Barbara's excitement and excitement...... The final box office statistics were fixed at $86.35 million. This data set a new annual box office record, and also broke countless records. instantly turned the death squad into a phenomenal film.

In fact, during dinner, Barbara received numerous calls from film production companies, companies like Paramount Universal have not been able to avoid vulgarity, their idea is actually very simple, hurry up and shoot a second part, we are willing to take a stake!!

It's a very nice thing to say, it's like smearing honey.

But before they opened their mouths, Barbara saw their hearts, which were nothing more than for profit, so Barbara almost always refused: I'm sorry, we don't have plans to shoot the second part yet.

And at about nine o'clock in the evening, Stallone also called. The question he asked was also about when the second part would be launched, and he told Barbara that he already had a brilliant idea in his head, and he also vaguely stated that he wanted to get a higher salary and the director's salary for the next film, and finally he wanted to participate in the box office dividends!!

Barbara's response was very simple: "If you want to make a second film, we will increase your salary and salary within the appropriate range." But we don't have an exact timetable for when the project will be set up yet, because Xiao Sa is not sure when there will be time, and everything has to accommodate his time. ”

Stallone politely hung up.

Obviously, he had a problem with Barbara's anonymity with dividends, and all the money he got from the film didn't exceed sixteen million dollars, if before, he was satisfied. But the problem now is that the movie has exploded at the box office, and Barbara and Xiao Po have to earn at least four or five billion, and after they are released in Europe and Asia, they will earn even more, and may even reach seven or eight billion US dollars. With so much money, in comparison, his more than 10 million US dollars is really pitiful, so he will naturally be psychologically unbalanced!

People are not suffering from widowhood, but suffering from inequality, and there is no way to do it.

Of course, Barbara also knew that Stallone might be a little unbalanced, but this was the rule of the game. Who made him unconfident at the box office before? He could also invest his remuneration in shares and participate in dividends like Xiao Shi, but he did not do this, but chose to take more than 10 million US dollars as compensation. This greatly increases the production cost!

Since he chose to be safe and refused to take risks, then don't envy others for eating and drinking spicy, after all...... Wealth and danger are sought!!

As for the second part, Barbara doesn't really care. Her current idea is to push Xiao Shi to the aspect of high-quality actors, and she doesn't want to make quick money! Establish a brand first, and the money will not roll in in the future?

Barbara is still very visionary and extremely difficult to get carried away by money.

In contrast, many men are inferior to her.
