In the next few days, Xuluo familiarized himself with the environment and made various preparations.

The filming of a group A of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" has officially started, and it will soon be Shen Haofang's second group, which is the scene of the eighth episode.

Zhou Yu's first appearance was in the ninth episode of "Sun Ce Liye", although Xuluo has practiced several times, it is inevitable that he is still a little nervous.

This is different from acting in "The Legend of the New White Lady", Xu Xian in "The Legend of the New White Lady" is weak and full of bookishness, the whole atmosphere is taken away by the White Lady, Xuluo just needs to follow the steps of Sister Zhao.

Now it's Zhou Yu!

How could Zhou Yu be a little man?

Going through the thousands of years of history of Huaguo, there will be no more than 20 people like Zhou Yu who can burn Cao Cao's 300,000 army with one fire and burn a brilliant Three Kingdoms.

If you add his appearance, you can't count it on ten fingers.

So such a role, such a performance, if you don't prepare well, if you don't perform a dazzling Zhou Yulai, you will be scolded by the national audience.

Xuluo has boarded the thief ship, so he must play it well.

Of course, although the boy has been in the crew for almost a month, it doesn't mean that he doesn't know anything about the outside world.

Don't forget that he has one day off a week.

Although because of the close proximity of the sweet girl, almost every day off, Xuluo was occupied by her, and then strongly poured flowers, but people can't always exercise twenty-four hours a day.

So Xuluo called, and Huzi, Chen Xiyue, Qiu Yuankang, and his aunt summarized the news for him, and he knew the progress of the outside world.

For example, in Miguo, first of all, in the early March season, Cheng Long once again killed Haolaiwu, and his second movie in Miguo, "Destiny Express", was released.

Cheng Long's luck was very good.

Last year, Bubu Stitch Monster bought 80% of the North American rights of all his previous films for $5 million, and then sold it to Blockbuster for 20 million for 3 years, and sold it to the TV movie channel of the TV station for 10 million for 3 years.

The video tape shop and TV channel that got the rights began to promote Cheng Long's movies in turn.

Cheng Long's movies are originally good-looking, and the kung fu fans who have been attracted to "Red Fan Zone" like it very much at first glance, and unconsciously for more than half a year, both the rental rate and the ratings are very good, and many new kung fu fans have been cultivated for him.

With the support of these people, Cheng Long's latest movie, "Destiny Express", was naturally vigorously promoted and promoted by New Line Pictures, and won him another 1,500 premiere theaters.

"Destiny Express" did not disappoint everyone, and in this season of the movie, it hit the box office of $9.5 million in the first week, ranking third at the box office.

With the spread of word-of-mouth and the lack of competition from other films, the box office of "Destiny Express" rose instead of falling in the second week, rising to $14.3 million!

In the third week, Cheng Long's luck came again, because there were no good movies released, so more movie theaters joined the ranks of the release of "Destiny Express", making it a box office of up to $17 million in the third week, becoming the weekly champion!

This is the first time that in addition to Li Xiaolong, a film from Xiangjiang has dominated the North American box office week!

So far, it has been almost 5 weeks, and the box office of "Destiny Express" has exceeded 54 million, and it is a high probability that it will be drawn with a box office result of 60 million US dollars.

In this way, following the more than 44 million US dollars of "Red Fan Zone", "Death Express" has raised Cheng Long's movie box office ceiling to a higher level.

Cheng Long specially looked at the time and asked Xuluo to make a call to find him - mainly because it was inconvenient for him to find Xuluo.

"Xiao Luo, thank you so much! With a box office of more than 54 million US dollars, I never dared to dream of it! …… Brother, I didn't say it, if you can use my place in the future, you can speak directly! …… In the days to come, our brothers will continue to work hard and strive to break 100 million at the box office in North America! ”

The last sentence is the point.

With the successive success of the two films, Cheng Long is no longer satisfied with Asian superstars, he only thinks about becoming an international kung fu superstar.

And it seems that he still has a lot of hope, as long as Xuluo continues to give strength and come up with a good script!

He is very smart and went to understand the evaluation of his previous movies, although everyone also likes it, but compared to "Red Fan Zone" and "Destiny Express", it is just a little less interesting.

Don't underestimate "a little meaning", sometimes it's a little worse, and the results are very different.

Therefore, Cheng Long has already thought about it, and he will have to rely on Xuluo to give a good script in the future, so that he can continue to climb to the top.

At the same time, he is also deeply grateful to himself - when Xuluo asked him to come to BJ to shoot "Welcome to BJ", he rushed back from Africa without saying a word.

If it weren't for this favor, I wouldn't have so much respect for myself if I thought about it, right?

Therefore, making good connections is always a necessary thing on the road to success!

When Cheng Long called Xuluo, there was no mention of the Xiangjiang box office at all.

In fact, the box office of "Destiny Express" in Xiangjiang also exploded, and it opened at the same time as Miguo, and it was released for five weeks in one go, not to mention, the box office result was directly 56 million Hong Kong dollars!

This is the second achievement in the history of Xiangjiang films, only losing to last year's "Slaying the Wolf" with a gap of 1 million.

But Cheng Long didn't care at all.

"Slaying the Wolf" is only the first in Xiangjiang, and the box office in other cities is not as good as "Death Express", and Cheng Long doesn't need to prove himself in Xiangjiang anymore.

And so it is.

The box office of "Slaying the Wolf" in Asia is 380 million Hong Kong dollars, and "Destiny Express" has started at different times, and it has not yet been released, it has exceeded 430 million Hong Kong dollars, and there is not much suspense of more than 500 million Hong Kong dollars.

Jiahe, who has partnered to invest in "Destiny Express", is so happy that it can't keep its mouth shut, and has held five consecutive celebration parties.

All Xiangjiang now knows that Cheng Long has gained a firm foothold in Haolaiwu!

That's so enviable!

Moreover, Cheng Long has a share of the box office of the movie, and the share of Europe and South America has not yet come out, but with these places, Cheng Long's box office share has reached as much as 40 million Hong Kong dollars.

There is one counts as one, which star in Xiangjiang can earn so much in a year now?

And that's not even counting the price increases that have followed.

Even when Xuluo chatted with several high-level TV stations in Japan, he heard that Mitsubishi's latest contract to Cheng Long was 30 million US dollars for 5 years!

That's 240 million Hong Kong dollars!

It's not that Mitsubishi people are stupid and have a lot of money, but that "Destiny Express" made Mitsubishi cars sturdy and showed their faces in front of the world - they have always been Cheng Long's partners, so in Cheng Long's movies, as long as there are cars, there are Mitsubishi cars.

Not to mention that in "Destiny Express", the car itself is a very important means of transportation, and there are a lot of car chase scenes in it.

The Mitsubishi logo appears in front of the audience almost anytime and anywhere, do you think this kind of advertising is powerful?

The advertising endorsement of 6 million US dollars a year is first-class in the world, second only to Michael Jackson, Madonna, Stallone and several other superstars.

Under the double gain of fame and fortune, Cheng Long was happy, and Xuluo was also happy.

Making more money is naturally a void.

In addition to his higher box office share, he also has a share of videotapes, TV rights, peripheral product licensing, and so on.

It is expected that Xuluo's revenue will reach around $50 million.

Cheng Long didn't have these points in the back, only Bubu Stitching Monster, Jiahe and New Thread to divide.

This is the rule of Hollywood.

Even if it is a superstar, it can only be a box office share, and these peripheral rights and interests can only be shared by the producer and the distributor.

Money is not the most important thing, Cheng Long has a firm foothold in Hollywood on behalf of Huaguo Commercial Films, which is what Xuluo values the most.

As long as Cheng Long continues to be stable for another ten or eight years, then he will become a signboard of Chinese films, so that audiences all over the world know and like Chinese movies.

In fact, Xuluo hopes that through the films shot in China, it will radiate to the world.

But now there is no way, because Hollywood is the center of the world's films, and at present, Chinese culture can only be spread through them.

Another advantage of Cheng Long's success is that the giants of Hollywood have more confidence in Xuluo.

Even "The Great New York Catastrophe", which will be released next month, in May, was accepted by Twentieth Century Fox for publicity and distribution.

After watching the finished film, the publicity fee given by Twentieth Century Fox was directly 8 million US dollars.

That's a high number for a movie starring a foreigner.

And Twentieth Century Fox also promised to promote the film to the world, and the publicity and distribution cost was only 15%.

This is purely for the sake of Xuluo's face and Cheng Long's face.

Zhou Runfa, the absolute protagonist, is actually of little use.

Of course, Twentieth Century Fox is not stupid, they must also see the quality of the film itself passing, and they are willing to take on the responsibility of distribution.

Before writing "The Great New York Catastrophe", Xuluo specially bought the first two episodes of "Die Hard" to watch.

Compared with the amazing first episode, in fact, the plot and hot scene of Christmas at the airport in the second episode have decreased to a certain extent.

】

But "The Great New York Catastrophe" is better than the previous two episodes.

Because of its big scenes, because of its hot shots, because of how bizarre it is...... These are all wonderful across the ages!

Think about it too.

The first episode of "Die Hard" was filmed in the 80s.

The third episode, "The Great New York Catastrophe," was only filmed in the mid-90s, a gap of ten years.

In the past ten years, various technologies and concepts have undergone earth-shaking changes, and the audience's aesthetics have also been greatly improved.

Therefore, "The New York Catastrophe", which is ahead of the current 1992 three-five years, naturally has a great advantage.

As long as Fox is not stupid, he will definitely not miss it!
