Chapter 277: Not Bad Money

Changsha Airport.

VIP lounges.

The Inception crew is waiting for a flight to the next promotional city.

"Digging into the corner of Tang Ren's wall, is Mr. Yang so vindictive?"

Qin Muchu was a little crying and laughing when he received Yang Mi's call.

's girlfriend is simply a little eyeball, and people are rubbing the heat, and as a result, they want to poach the first sister who people have worked so hard to cultivate?

Master Liu himself is a "substitute" cultivated by Cai Yinong because he didn't get Liu Xiqian, and now Liu Xiqian has been won by Yang Mi, if the "substitute" is robbed again......

I'm afraid I'm going to be so angry that I'm spurting blood.

"I learned from you, don't you also want to dig up Teacher He? Mango Station has no grievances with you, and even cooperated a few times very happily, you are under this kind of black hand, and you are embarrassed to say that I am vindictive? ”

Yang Mi's small mouth was, and she was abrupt.

"What do I call digging the foot of the wall, at most it is borrowing." Qin Muchu shook his head.

"Alas~ I'm saying that the master is dead set on Cai Yinong, usually the master lives in her house, eats and lives together, and it is impossible to dig the foot of the wall."

Yang Mi is sober-minded.

She is not so eager for Master Liu, after all, she already has Liu Xiqian.

If the company signs artists, she prefers to sign some that have not yet become popular and cultivate them herself.

Although the method of digging the foot of the wall is fast and can get the result directly, it lacks the process.

The sense of accomplishment of turning a nobody into a big star.

Besides, the corners are not so easy to dig.

Even if Master Liu is willing to come to her company, but the contract with Tang Ren has not expired, Cai Yinong will definitely not be able to release him, so he will have to pay a large amount of liquidated damages, and there is a high probability that he will have to go to court.

Not necessarily.

Liu Shishi is not Liu Xiqian, how can it be worth spending so much.

After chatting with her boyfriend for a while, Yang Mi hung up the phone.

There's still an event today, so you have to pack up and get ready to go.

On the other side, Qin Muchu, who hung up the phone, also boarded the plane with the crew and continued the promotional journey of "Inception".

In the following days, Qin Muchu ran through several first-tier cities.

The top few satellite TVs in the ratings are on it, and various media interviews and offline event promotions have not been left behind, even if you don't watch movies, you know that there is a movie called "Inception" that is about to be released.

For Zhou Jiaolun, Liu Xiqian, and Zeng Li, there are many people who are willing to go to the cinema to contribute a movie ticket.

……

"A few days ago, a reporter photographed the crew of "Inception" appearing at Seoul Airport in South Korea, causing chaos, and fans surrounded the airport, chanting the names of Qin Muchu and Zeng Li, and the popularity was terrifying......"

In a large luxury box, the TV is broadcasting entertainment news.

"Damn, it's his news every day, so there's nothing else to do?"

Zhang Weiping switched channels, but it was past six o'clock in the evening, and many channels were broadcasting entertainment news, and anyone who broadcast entertainment news was inevitably related to "Inception".

This made Zhang Weiping even more depressed, and was about to turn off the TV, when the door of the box was opened.

Seeing the people coming clearly, he didn't care about the TV, Zhang Weiping hurriedly got up and greeted him with a smile on his face.

"Brother Benshan!"

"Brother Weiping!"

The person who came was Zhao Benshan.

But he didn't come alone, he was followed by several other people.

"Come, let me introduce you......"

As soon as Zhao Benshan spoke, Zhang Weiping interrupted:

"Look at Brother Benshan, you have to say it, do you still need to introduce this? Crane Shenyang, Yadan, who doesn't know your two high-ranking disciples in the country now? Come on, please be seated. ”

After listening to Zhang Weiping's words, the girl was fine, but He Shenyang raised his head, and a touch of pride flashed in his eyes.

"Oh, I said I have to introduce it, Brother Weiping, you don't recognize it all, why did you miss two?"

Don't recognize it all?

Who else?

Zhang Weiping looked at a man and a woman standing at the back behind Zhao Benshan.

The man is bald, chubby, and wearing a black suit not only does not feel handsome, but has a sense of funny.

The woman is plump, but this plump is not the kind of S-shaped that is very tempting, it is the kind of plump of normal ordinary women, and she is not very beautiful.

Zhang Weiping just thought that these two people were Zhao Benshan's bodyguards and assistants, but listening to Zhao Benshan's meaning, these two are also apprentices?

Zhao Benshan patted Zhang Weiping's arm,

"Let me introduce, this one is called Chen Ye, and this one is called Wang Xiaohua, both of whom are my apprentices. Fast, all called Mr. Zhang. ”

The last sentence was addressed to the four apprentices.

As soon as the words fell, a neat voice immediately sounded in the box:

"Mr. Zhang is good!"

Zhang Weiping feels that this scene is a bit like the feeling of the younger brother calling the eldest brother in the movie.

Quickly threw away this strange feeling, although he wondered why Zhao Benshan brought two more apprentices over, he still smiled and waved his hand and said:

"Hello, all sit down, don't stand."

After everyone was seated, Zhao Benshan looked at the empty box and asked:

"Haven't arrived yet?"

"It's not here yet, it should be soon, I'll call to urge."

Zhang Weiping said that he was about to pick up the mobile phone on the table to make a call.

"No, no, I'm busy, don't worry, don't hurry."

Zhao Benshan hurriedly stopped and held down Zhang Weiping's hand.

"It's okay, I'll call and ask, no matter how busy I am, there is always time to eat."

"I really don't need to, it's not time, wait, let's talk for a while......

Just as the two were pulling, a voice suddenly sounded.

"Who's to say it's not, we're pretty ...... too"

Seeing the master's gloomy eyes, the smile on his face gradually stiffened, and he closed his mouth.

"I'm sorry, the apprentice doesn't understand the rules, and he's embarrassed."

Zhao Benshan looked ashamed.

"I'm sorry, master, I'm too talkative!"

He Shenyang immediately stood up and apologized with low eyebrows.

"Apologize to whom, with me?"

Zhao Benshan put on a stern expression on He Shenyang, and said sharply:

"I don't understand the rules at all!"

In the next second, He Shenyang bowed to Zhang Weiping:

"I'm sorry, Mr. Zhang, I'm talking too much."

Zhang Weiping actually didn't pay attention to the interjection just now.

If it was replaced by two other apprentices of Zhao Benshan, who he didn't know, he would be a little unhappy.

What is your identity, does this have your part in speaking?

But it was He Shenyang who interjected, so he would be much more tolerant.

Because of the crane Shenyang fire.

Since the Spring Festival Gala sketch, it has been popular until now.

can almost be called the most popular star at the moment.

The reason why he formed this bureau today was because he came to Heshenyang.

"It's okay, sit down, brother, you're too strict, am I such a stingy person?"

Zhang Weiping pretended to blame.

"It's not that you're stingy, you still have to have rules, I'll fire him with one hand, if you don't have the rules after you become popular, I don't know how thick the sky is, then you will have it in the future?"

Zhao Benshan's words knocked on Heshenyang, intentionally or unintentionally.

He Shenyang didn't dare to speak, and was trained without saying a word with his head down.

"Go, go to the door and wait for Director Zhang!"

Zhao Benshan spoke.

"Got it, master."

When He Shenyang heard this, he immediately walked out of the box, and Zhang Weiping couldn't stop it.

"It's okay, why don't you two talk about us, it's right for him to wait for Director Zhang outside, and if he makes a mistake, he has to be cleaned up."

Zhao Benshan smiled and held Zhang Weiping's arm and chatted.

……

Zhang Yimou followed the box number, searched all the way, and quickly locked his box.

"Director Zhang."

"Oh, hello."

Zhang Yimou didn't pay much attention to He Shenyang standing next to the door, he didn't even look at it, he just thought it was his fan.

Just as he was about to open the door and enter the box, He Shenyang spoke again:

"Director Zhang, hello, my master asked me to welcome you here......"

Master?

Zhang Yimou raised his head and carefully looked at the young man in front of him.

Crane Shenyang?

Zhang Yimou was a little surprised.

Even he, who doesn't watch much TV, can recognize the person in front of him at a glance.

Now the sketch "Not Bad Money" is often replayed on TV, and the sound of "howl~" can often be heard.

But how did he end up here?

And there is also his master......

Zhang Weiping didn't say it......

Zhang Yimou frowned slightly, quickly suppressed the doubts in his heart, and squeezed out a smile:

"Oh, let's go in together."

The two walked into the box, and He Shenyang was a lot more honest this time, standing aside respectfully, like a waiter:

"Master, Director Zhang is here."

"Yimou, hahahaha, come on, come on."

Zhao Benshan stood up, walked to Zhang Yimou's side enthusiastically, and took his hand.

"Haha, long time no see."

Zhang Yimou pretended to deal with a few polite words, and turned his puzzled eyes to Zhang Weiping, wanting an explanation.

His new film is only two months away, and these days he's at home polishing the script and figuring out how to make what he wants.

was called out by Zhang Weiping on the phone, and at that time he only said that he wanted to talk about things related to the movie, but he didn't mention Zhao Benshan...... And these apprentices.

Zhang Weiping naturally saw Lao Mouzi's gaze, but he didn't explain anything, and after beckoning a few people to sit down, he ordered the waiter to serve the food, and chatted at the dinner table, just not to get to the point.

Lao Mouzi could only suppress the doubts in his heart and accompany Ying He to say a few words, but as the meal progressed, Lao Mouzi's words became less and less, and he almost didn't speak in the back.

Zhang Weiping has been cooperating with Lao Mouzi for so many years, so he naturally understands his temper and knows that the heat is almost over, so he began to pull it into the movie:

"Yimou, this dinner, the main reason for this dinner is that Brother Benshan is interested in our movie, by the way...... I would like to recommend a few actors to you. ”

Zhang Yimou stopped his chopsticks and looked at Zhao Benshan, then turned his gaze and looked at Zhao Benshan's apprentices.

This actor, can't it just refer to them, right?

Lao Mouzi pursed his lips.

He has no discrimination against sketch actors.

Although there has always been a chain of contempt for drama actors, movie actors, TV drama actors, sketches, and cross talk actors in the entertainment industry, it is among actors, and as a director, he values the acting skills of actors more.

The acting skills of the sketch actors are usually very good.

As with drama, you can't make mistakes when performing on stage, and there is no chance of NG.

And it's not easy to amuse people.

If he wants to make a comedy, he may consider a sketch actor, but he wants to shoot suspense.

I still have to confirm:

"The recommended actor is ......"

"That's it, my apprentice, say hello to Director Zhang, hurry up!"

Zhao Benshan waved his big hand, and the four apprentices immediately stood up and bowed:

"Director Zhang!"

"Well, sit and sit, don't be so formal."

Zhang Yimou waved his hand again and again by this momentum and beckoned them to sit down.

"Don't, haha, Yimou, I heard Brother Weiping say that you still lack actors in this play, so I, as a master, will be cheeky, drag the relationship between Brother Weiping, go through the back door, invite you, and want you to check it in person, see if these apprentices have anything you can see."

Zhao Benshan stood up as he spoke, picked up the wine cup and poured a glass of wine for Zhang Yimou in person, with a very humble attitude.

Zhang Yimou felt that this scene was familiar.

looked at Zhao Benshan, and saw the crane Shenyang and Yadan standing next to him......

Isn't this a Spring Festival Gala sketch?

Have you become a grandfather?

Zhang Weiping also opened his mouth to help:

"Yimou, don't you still have a few roles in the movie that have not been determined? It just so happens that Brother Benshan has an apprentice recommendation, you know Heshenyang, Yadan, you all know, famous all over the country, and the other two apprentices are also ...... I think it's very good.

Isn't this also a comedy? Just ......"

"It's suspense, black humor."

Zhang Yimou corrected.

Zhang Weiping paused, waved his hand and continued to smile:

"Isn't humor just comedy and funny? To say that the funny crane Shenyang is professional. ”

Black humor equals comedy?

Zhang Yimou opened his mouth.

Zhang Weiping has been in this industry for so many years, it is impossible not to even know this basic common sense.

If you can say this, you can only deliberately pretend not to know.

What's with?

Lao Mouzi can also guess one or two in his heart.

Heshenyang is too popular this year, and having his joining movies can be of great help whether it is publicity or box office.

Just like when filming "Golden Armor", Zhang Weiping insisted on inviting Zhou Jiaolun to act.

This kind of interference in his own film creation, Lao Mouzi instinctively wanted to refuse.

Think about it.

Zhou Jiaolun's appearance that year really brought him a big surprise.

Judging from the results, Zhang Weiping's vision is right.

What if this time he sees it again?

While Lao Mouzi was pondering, the box was quiet, and the sound of the TV set off was particularly conspicuous and clear.

""Kung Fu" was released for 43 days, breaking many records along the way, and finally had a box office of 460 million, becoming the highest-grossing film in the Celestial Empire."

460 million ......

Celestial Empire's highest-grossing ......

Everyone's attention was drawn to the news and turned to the TV.

Zhang Weiping is both envious and jealous.

In the past two years since Lao Mouzi held the Olympics, the new picture has almost stopped operating.

Now it is even more uncomfortable to watch others make a lot of money, especially those who make money, and they still have holidays with themselves.

At the same time, I am even more determined to invite Heshenyang to star.

Make hay!

……

Being abroad, the news that "Kung Fu" became the highest-grossing film in the Celestial Empire was not so sensational.

Qin Muchu still learned about it from the phone.

His own record was broken by Zhou Xingxing.

"Sad, isn't it? In the future, someone's title will be one less. ”

Yang Mi had just finished taking a shower and lay on her boyfriend's back, stimulating him.

"What's so sad, the higher the box office, the more money I make."

Qin Muchu is very calm, "The Gift of Room No. 7" can maintain a record for three years, which is already good.

The news only broadcast the domestic box office of "Kung Fu", and as the boss, Qin Muchu knows more than the media.

Just looking at the domestic box office, the cost of "Kung Fu" of 200 million is only 460 million, and the box office is definitely a loss.

But the overseas box office of "Kung Fu" is also impressive, with 530 million yuan.

In other words, the total box office of "Kung Fu" has reached 1 billion yuan.

Looking at it this way, "Kung Fu" is very profitable, and the investors have a profit of 200 million at the box office alone, plus the sale of DVD rights, and more.

It's sure to be a big-money movie.

"In the future, there will be more and more movie theaters, and the box office will be higher and higher." Qin Muchu said with emotion.

"Kung Fu" can have such a high box office, in addition to its own excellent quality, it is also related to the rapid development of the film industry in the Celestial Empire.

Compared with three years ago, tens of millions of dollars are already considered high box office, but now movies that break 100 million have appeared in a pile.

Last year, Feng Datie's "Sincere Appointment" and Wu Yusen's "Red Cliff (I)" both won more than 300 million box office.

The latter was scolded, but "Red Cliff (II)" at the beginning of this year still had a good score of 250 million.

It can be seen that the cake of movies is getting bigger and bigger.

The girlfriend's waves are turbulent, and they are getting bigger and bigger.

Qin Muchu felt the amazing touch on his back, and he was really a little surprised.

Can a girl still develop at twenty-three?

Adhering to the concept of practice brings true knowledge, he decided to measure it with his own hands, grabbed Yang Mi's hands, stood up directly and carried her on his back, walked to the side of the bed, and put her on the bed.

"What are you going to do? Don't come here, I'm going to call the police. ”

Yang Mi pretended to be panicked, intentionally or unintentionally lifted her nightgown, revealing her big white legs.

She just got on her boyfriend's back, which in itself is a hint.

"Hey, hey."

After Qin Muchu found out that his girlfriend arrived in Japan, he became a little perverted, and he always liked to engage in these little flirts.

Just as he was about to pounce on the hungry tiger, the phone rang out at an inopportune time.

"I'll clean you up later."

He dropped a sentence and went to pick up his phone.

It was a long time before he hung up.

Yang Mi got up from the bed and leaned next to Qin Muchu.

"Uncle Jiang urged you to go back to making movies?"

She had just listened to a rough idea.

"That's what it means, but I didn't say it explicitly, I guess it was stimulated by "Kung Fu"."

Qin Muchu put down his phone and shook his head.

"Bullet" has been on production for a week, and the scenes of his six sons were originally scheduled to be filmed after April, when "Inception" was released, and he also had time to act.

But when the old baby urged him like this, he really had some other ideas.

The promotion of "Inception" has come to an end, and Japan is the last stop in Asia, followed by North America.

In fact, the publicity campaign over there has already begun, and giants like Warner have made efforts, and many media have reported on the "Inception" movie, after all, Iron Man Downey starring, he is now in the limelight in the United States.

Qin Muchu is not well-known in the United States, and there are many people who have watched "When Happiness Knocks on the Door", but few know who the director is.

When he was the most popular, Taylor was on the show and said that he was gay......

But after such a long time, people have long forgotten about him.

Well, except for a few faggets who like this one you may remember.

So theoretically speaking, it doesn't matter whether Qin Muchu is involved in American propaganda or not.

It's not just him, I'm going to talk about the oriental actors in the crew, and it doesn't make much sense to go to the United States to promote it.

The biggest selling point of "Inception" over there is the big cost and starring Downey.

So, why don't you go back to Japan after the propaganda is over?
