Guan Zhilin was not at home, so it was naturally impossible for Xuluo to go to her apartment to live.

So Xuluo stayed at the Peninsula Hotel.

Although I feel a little sorry for the money, after all, when Xuluo was in Miguo and Beijing, he lived in hotels.

But the small hotel in Xiangjiang really makes people look at tears, so it's better to grit your teeth and live there.

While driving, Wang Jing also mentioned to Xuluo the first Xiangjiang movie that the two collaborated on - "Truant Weilong".

"Truant Dragon" is funded by Xuluo and Wang Jing to occupy 80% of the share, and the remaining 20% is used for Yongsheng distribution.

The actor chosen is still the original version, and Wang Jing cleverly gave the heroine, that is, the teacher's place, to Yongsheng.

Xiang Huasheng unceremoniously designated his own woman Zhang Meng to play.

Anyway, Zhang Meng has been used to cooperating with Zhou Xingchi in the past two years, and everyone is quite happy to see them cooperate again.

This time, Zhou Xingchi and Wu Mengda were selected, and they did not use the quota of Wang Jing 70 to sign Zhou Xingchi's five-film contract, but invited them according to the normal price.

As a result, when it came to two film contracts, Zhou Xingchi also unceremoniously asked for 4 million Hong Kong dollars, while Wu Mengda only asked for 500,000 Hong Kong dollars.

Although Zhou Xingchi, who is now the king of comedy, has a market price of between 4 million and 5 million, he chose a high price for him, regardless of whether Xu Luo picked him up with one hand, or made Wang Jing complain for a long time.

But Xuluo himself didn't think there was anything.

Zhou Xingchi doesn't owe himself, after all, even if he doesn't have himself, these movies are still Zhou Xingchi's, and no one can take them away.

It's Wu Mengda who is quite good at being a person, if he and Zhou Xingchi take over the drama together, he can ask for 1 million casually, and even 1.2 million or 1.5 million is not negotiable.

But this time he only needed 500,000, and both of them were 500,000, which was very kind.

No wonder everyone said that since Wu Mengda went bankrupt in gambling a few years ago, he was reborn from the ashes, and he no longer had the previous impetuousness and arrogance, and became a kind and open-minded good man.

As I thought before, Zhou Xingchi asked for a salary of 4 million films, which was his own choice, and Xuluo would not blame him.

But Wu Mengda deliberately asked for less money, that is a favor, and Xuluo has to remember.

If there is any good thing in the future, Xuluo will definitely think of him first, not Zhou Xingchi.

That's why it's important to be human.

We can't let honest people suffer, right?

It's just that in this way, "Truant Weilong" has not yet started filming, and the cost of the three leading actors alone has reached 5.5 million - Zhang Meng took the market price of 1 million, which is not high or low, which is quite suitable.

According to the rule that the cost of Xiangjiang movies is usually between millions, in fact, "Truant Dragon" has exceeded the standard.

That's not counting Wang Jing's directorial fee.

Rao is Wang Jing's directing fee has been included in the investment cost, and the cost of the entire film will not be less than 10 million.

If a movie with a cost of 10 million does not lose money in Xiangjiang, the box office must be 22 million, and if you want to make some money, then 30 million is more suitable.

However, how many Xiangjiang movies have a box office of more than 30 million?

It's just a dozen times.

Fortunately, Zhou Xingchi is the king of comedy, and half of the movies with a box office of more than 30 million in Xiangjiang are his works, and the audience still buys him.

Not to mention that this time it is the most classic combination - Xuluo's script + Wang Jing's directing + Zhou Xingchi and Wu Mengda and Zhang Meng's starring + Yongsheng release.

During the Spring Festival alone, as soon as such a combination came out, the cinema merchants on Treasure Island rushed to bid.

The largest boss Wang paid 10 million Hong Kong dollars to buy all the distribution rights of Baodao.

The biggest boss Cai on Treasure Island is 8 million.

In fact, the market price is 7 million, and Boss Cai is used to paying a high price.

Boss Wang wants to be on the top, so he is naturally willing to pay a high price for a future.

Such a combination of immortals is worth Boss Wang's adventure.

So you see, the current Xiangjiang movies are still very happy.

As long as it is the cooperation of big-name actors, directors, and screenwriters, then there is no need to wait for the movie to come out, and someone dares to buy it in advance.

With the 10 million in the account of Treasure Island, "Truant Weilong" is already a return to the capital.

After that, the share of the release in Xiangjiang will be counted as profit.

If the box office in Xiangjiang is good, then Korea, Japan, Southeast Asia, ...... Especially in Southeast Asia, the box office will only be higher.

If you do it well, you can easily make a profit of 20 million to 30 million.

A movie with a shooting and production cycle of less than two months can make so much money, no wonder so many people want to enter the film industry.

Now that "Truant Weilong" is about to start filming, Xuluo is coming, on the one hand, it is also to create momentum for the movie, and on the other hand, it is also to make everyone more confident.

No way.

This is the first time Wang Jing has made a film in the name of his own company, and everyone's confidence in him is still insufficient.

If it is added to the void, then the meaning is different.

The success of Xuluo all over the world is enough to ensure that Wang Jing's "Truant Dragon" is also successful.

……

After obtaining Xuluo's consent, Wang Jing released the news of Xuluo's arrival in Xiangjiang early.

When Xuluo arrived on the set in Wang Jing's car the next day, there were already thirty or forty reporters outside.

In such a small place as Xiangjiang, there are more than a few thousand reporters, and there are two or three hundred newspapers and magazines, which is really jaw-dropping.

Therefore, the stars I saw on TV were chased and intercepted, but it was also true.

"Luo Shao! Luo Shao! ”

"Answer a question, Luo Shao!"

"Why are you alone? Didn't Aunt Thirteen come? ”

Seeing that they were asking nonsense again, Xuluo raised his hand to stop the noise: "I will answer five questions, all of which are related to "Truant Dragon", don't ask anything else." The first ...... Here you go! ”

The reporter who was hit by the point smiled and said, "Luo Shao, why do you want to make your own movie?" Are you dissatisfied that Yongsheng only gives you 1 million script fees and wants to earn more? ”

"Your boss gave you a raise, will you refuse?" ”

"Of course not!" The reporter said subconsciously.

"That's right, I don't refuse to make more money." Xu Luo said: "I also said hello to the two bosses, and they are also happy to continue to cooperate with me." ”

Seeing this, the second reporter asked another tricky question: "Luo Shao, we have all watched your performance in "The Legend of the New White Lady"...... You didn't plan to make a movie for yourself? You're no worse than Zhou Xingchi! ”

Xuluo shook his head, "In terms of acting, ten Xuluo is not as good as one Zhou Xingchi...... Next! ”

"Luo Shao, Zhou Xingchi has already made five of your movies in a row, aren't you afraid that the audience will get bored with him? Aren't you afraid of "Truant Dragon" hitting the streets? The third reporter asked very directly.

"As long as it's a good movie, then you don't have to worry about hitting the street, I have confidence in myself, director Wang Jing, Zhou Xingchi, Wu Mengda and Zhang Meng."

"Is the reason why Xiang Boss regressed because you co-produced "The New York Catastrophe" with them before? When will this movie be released? ”

"I don't know exactly yet, but I think it's summer! When the time comes, North America will be the first to start painting, and Xiangjiang will follow! I believe that everyone will not be disappointed! ”

"Luo Shao, do you think Zhou Xingchi is worth 4 million in "Truant Weilong"? Isn't he a little ungrateful? ”

"It's not ungrateful, it's a choice given by the market, and I don't think it's too much."

After Xu Luo said this, he walked in directly with Wang Jing.

Reporters have become accustomed to the simplicity of Xuluo, and they are also accustomed to his lack of attention to reporters as if there is no one around.

But secretly hating is hating, and these news on Xuluo are something they can't let go.

It is they who ask for food from Xuluo, not from Xuluo.

So this relationship is also inevitable.

The set is actually a school.

It happens to be the winter vacation of schools in Xiangjiang, so it is easy to rent a school.

When he entered the set, he saw many extras listening to the assistant director's instructions.

Zhou Xingchi, who was wearing a student uniform, was also talking to Wu Mengda and several supporting actors.

As the heroine, Zhang Mian was dressed up beautifully and stood by to listen.

"You want to say that Xingzai, although he has swelled a lot now, he is very serious when filming." Wang Jing said next to him, "Sometimes I feel that he is not shooting comedy, but a very serious drama. ”

"So you're going to say that all comedy is a tragedy in its bones?" Xuluo Dao.

"Uh...... That's not the case. ”

Wang Jing shrugged his shoulders and didn't mention it again.

In fact, Xuluo does not believe in that set of mystical Western theories.

What is "only tragedy can last forever", "the core of comedy is tragedy", "acting is your own life"...... Wait a minute.

He thinks that no matter what kind of play it is, as long as it can achieve the desired effect, it will be fine.

The audience laughed and had fun, and that was comedy.

Zhou Xingchi is indeed a genius in terms of expression, even if it is some not very funny scenes, under his interpretation, the audience will laugh.

That's what a comedy master is all about.

For the same 80-point script, someone can only perform a 70-point effect if they get it, but someone can perform a 100-point effect.

"Arlo!"

The two of them were watching the excitement here, and someone came next to them.

Now those who can be called Xuluo "Aluo" are either old friends or elders.

Shouting Xuluo is naturally the elder, Xiang Thirteen, Xiang Hua Sheng.

He said hello to Wang Jing and pulled Xuluo aside, "Ah Luo, I watched their first cut of "The New York Catastrophe", it was really thrilling!" The scene is hot and full of suspense, showing the characteristics of Fa Ge to the fullest...... This movie is going to be a big hit! ”

Xuluo smiled, "This is an important weapon for us to enter Haolaiwu, can it be bad?" ”

Seeing Xuluo's calm appearance, Xiang Huasheng coughed lightly and lowered his voice a little: "Fa Ge will definitely be able to make a name for himself in Haolaiwu this time, do you have any plans for the next play?" ”

Zhou Runfa's box office performance has now been suppressed by Zhou Xingchi, but his salary has not been low.

Many people think that Zhou Runfa is the representative of Xiangjiang movies, and Cheng Long can only compete with him, and Zhou Xingchi, a clown-like comedy king, is not qualified to be compared with him at all.

Maybe it's a sense of style and identity.

Therefore, Yongsheng signed ten movies with Zhou Yunfa before, and the price of each of them was 5 million Hong Kong dollars, which can be called a sky-high price.

Except for Cheng Long, there is no second person in Xiangjiang who can get this price.

Li Lianjie was originally a little hopeful, but "Huang Feihong's Boy Should Be Self-Improvement" was suddenly unsatisfactory, and suddenly hit his market to around 3 million.

The reason why Yongsheng dared to sign 10 contracts with Zhou Runfa was because Xuluo agreed with Zhou Runfa.

and this "New York Catastrophe".

For "The New York Catastrophe", Yongsheng, which occupies 40% of the share, invested more than 100 million yuan for the first time, and Xiang Huaqiang also personally served as the villain.

Xiang Huaqiang, Zhou Yanfa and Lin Lingdong began filming "The Great Eucalyptus of New York" in Miguo in September, and did not return to Xiangjiang until early January to produce the post-production stage.

This shows the importance they attach to "The Great New York Catastrophe".

Fortunately, whether it is from the script, from the filming process, or from the preliminary editing now, "The Great New York Catastrophe" has made everyone very satisfied, and it is destined to be another successful work.

The North American box office does not need to be too high, as long as it can reach 100 million US dollars, then Yongsheng is sure to hit a box office of more than 200 million US dollars in the whole of Asia!

When Zhou Yunfa became the fourth actor in history to single-handedly exceed $300 million at the box office, then his market naturally rose. - The first three are Li Xiaolong and Cheng Long, as well as the cooperating Retort Dan and Hong Jinbao.

For Yongsheng, how to strike while the iron is hot is the key.

If they can make two more blockbusters like "The New York Catastrophe" in a row, then not only will Zhou Runfa's commercial value increase greatly, Yongsheng will make more money, and even the 5 million Zhou Runfa head contract in their hands can be sold at two or three times the sky-high price.

But the most difficult part is how to make persistent efforts and strike while the iron is hot.

The two bosses of the Xiang family are not dizzy, they know that Xuluo is the key!

So Xiang Huasheng deliberately ran over after knowing that Xuluo was coming over today and discussed with Xuluo.

"No hurry, no hurry."

Xuluo shook his hand, "Wait until this movie is released, and Fa Ge becomes famous." Brother Sheng, Hollywood's movies are not as good as those of Xiangjiang, if you recklessly move forward and let this hard-won situation be buried, wouldn't it be a pity? ”

This makes a lot of sense.

Zhou Yanfa, who ranks among the top three in Xiangjiang, is still a newcomer in Hollywood.

If only one movie is famous, and the second one hits the streets, I don't know how long it will take to recover.

What else can Xiang Huasheng say?

He could only smile wryly, "What you said is that I was too anxious!" ”

In terms of making movies, Xiang Huasheng can be said to be very strong.

But when he met Xuluo, he could only be convinced.

Yongsheng is certainly smooth, but the road of Xuluo cannot be described only as smooth, it is purely invincible, and it has always been a big victory!

When Xuluo and his opinions disagreed, Xiang Huasheng was definitely willing to trust Xuluo.
