In the blink of an eye, it has come to the fourth day of the release of Crazy Racing, and the box office of the first three days has been counted.

A total of 19.7 million.

This has greatly exceeded their expectations.

Now the whole company is rejoicing.

By the first week, the box office had reached 40 million.

At this point, their investment in this film has also paid off, and at the same time it has surpassed Crazy Stone.

You must know that Crazy Stone was released in theaters for two months, and in the end, it only got more than 30 million, but Crazy Racing got 40 million in just one week.

Everyone felt that the speed at which this movie became popular was a bit outrageous, and even some questioning voices appeared on the Internet, saying that they were swiping the box office and stealing tickets from other movies.

Or open a ghost field.

But in the face of such rumors, the best thing to do is to ignore them.

Jiang Bai had just finished filming that day, and after instructing other people's actions, he was about to rest for a while, but not long after he sat down, Su Rou ran over from the side with his mobile phone.

"Brother Jiang, Brother Jiang, I have your phone."

Jiang Bai stood up after hearing this: "Whose is it?" ”

Only then did Su Rou glance at the caller ID on her mobile phone: "It's Zhang Yi's director." ”

"Director Zhang?"

Jiang Bai thought about it, could it be that Zhang Yi called to congratulate him?

So I pressed the answer button.

"Hey, what has Director Zhang been busy with lately?"

"I'm busy preparing for a new play, but I still have to congratulate you on the explosion of your movie again."

"Thank you, Director Zhang."

"No thanks." Zhang Yi said on the phone again, his voice was soothing, not in a hurry, "But I called you this time, mainly to ask you to come over and shoot my new play, you are playing the male lead, how about it?" Interested? ”

"Male number one?"

How could Jiang Bai not be interested, this is Zhang Yi's movie.

Anyway, Zhang Yi's movie is still worth filming, although the hero filmed last year has a bit of a bad reputation after its release this year, but the box office is there.

"Director Zhang, doesn't this play need to be auditioned?"

"No, I directly selected people for this play, in fact, I wanted to invite Mei Yanfang to come to this drama at the beginning, but now you also know that Mei Yanfang definitely can't be invited, so it was replaced by someone else, and there are two male characters, I originally wanted to find Jin Chengwu and Liu Dehua, but I asked Jin Chengwu over there, and he said that he couldn't ride a horse, so he refused, but Liu Dehua could come.

But then I thought about it again, the head catcher played by Jin Chengwu is a good person, but Liu Dehua's performance is on the bad side, speaking of bad guys, I still think it is more suitable for you to play it, and didn't you say before that you love to play undercover? It just so happens that this is an undercover agent. ”

Roughly listening to Zhang Yi's talk, Jiang Bai did have a lot of interest.

Indeed, Jiang Bai has a soft spot for the role of undercover.

"Director Zhang, I'm okay with this role, but I'm still filming a TV series, and I can't leave all of a sudden."

"I can't leave, it's going to be difficult, my plan is to join the group in November, and after everyone has practiced the movements for a while, it will probably be officially launched on November 15th.

But I'm not worried about your talent in action, so it's okay to come a few days later, but in addition to action, there is also a script, can you finish filming in two months? ”

"I'm not sure about this, Director Zhang, or I'll ask?"

"Okay, then you ask."

After Jiang Bai hung up the phone, he looked at Li Guoli's side, and felt a little guilty for a while.

In the crew of Xianjian, Li Guoli has already given himself too much convenience, he can leave if he has something to say, and he will send a car to pick him up every time.

And now it's happening again.

But Jiang Bai still didn't want to let go of this opportunity.

So I can only ask

"Director Li, are you busy? I have something to tell you. ”

"What's the matter? Is it going to be a leave of absence again, it's okay, a few days? ”

Jiang Bai shook his head: "Director Li, it's not a leave, because Director Zhang Yi wants to find me to film, and the role is very good." ”

"Zhang Yi?" Li Guoli was shocked, thinking that this kid should be running away, right?

He gave Jiang Bai so much convenience back and forth, if Jiang Bai suddenly ran away, it would be a white-eyed wolf behavior.

Looking at Li Guoli's expression, Jiang Bai could also guess what the other party was thinking: "Director Li, don't worry, I will definitely not run if I run, I just came to ask, because Director Zhang's side is going to start filming in November, and there are two months left until now." ”

Li Guoli let go of his mood when he heard this.

If Jiang Bai is going to leave in a few days, then he will definitely not let people go, filming in other crews is different from going out to do publicity, when the leading actor leaves for two or three months, then they won't be able to shoot here?

If that's the case, even if he falls out with Jiang Bai, he can't let him go, if Jiang Bai insists on leaving and delays the filming of this drama, Li Guoli will definitely hold Jiang Bai responsible.

But there are still two months to go.

"I'll think about it." Li Guoli touched his chin and picked up the schedule that was placed on the side.

At this time, Jiang Bai said again: "Director Li, although I really want to go over there to film, but no matter what, since I have already joined the crew, I must follow us here first, you see if I can finish filming by then, I will promise Director Zhang to go over, if the filming can't be completed, I will push Director Zhang there." ”

Li Guoli didn't know if what Jiang Bai said was true or false, but in terms of interpersonal relationships, he didn't want Jiang Bai to make a bond in his heart because of this matter.

"That's not it, you still have to shoot Director Zhang's scene, our filming here is actually almost over, it won't take more than a month to shoot the last part of Suihua, the cycle over there is two months, but it can also be adjusted for you."

"Thank you so much Director Li, I have to treat you to a meal when I go back."

"That's all easy to say, anyway, this kind of thing is supposed to be coordinated and discussed with each other, we can finish filming here, and I won't deliberately get stuck and not let you go."

"That's not possible, Director Li is not that kind of person."

"Yes, I'm not that kind of person, you can agree with Director Zhang about this matter later, but what are you going to shoot this time?"

Jiang Bai shook his head: "I don't know much about this, I only know that it is a martial arts type." ”

"Director Zhang is going to make a martial arts movie again." Li Guoli couldn't help laughing, he also watched Zhang Yi's hero before.

To be honest, it's very artistic, but the story does get a bit sparse.

The background fighting pictures are very good, and the music is very good, but the story is average.

It's a bit detached from the masses and not grounded enough.

Anyway, if he is asked to shoot, it will definitely be another style, but Li Guoli does not dare to guarantee that he can shoot it at a higher box office than Zhang Yimou, after all, people's names are placed there, not to mention anything else, just these three words of Zhang Yi can pull many people to the cinema.

Not to mention that there are also Chen Daomin, Li Lianlian, Jiang Bai, Zhang Ziyi, and others.

"Okay, Director Zhang should want to develop more in this area."

"Yes, it is estimated that Director Zhang is also tired of filming realistic themes, and wants to get out of his comfort zone."

The two chatted a few words, but they didn't say that Zhang Yi really wanted to get out of his comfort zone, but as soon as he walked out, he stepped into the quagmire.

But since Li Guoli agreed, Zhao Zhe can also go to talk about the salary.

Due to Jiang Bai's joining, Zhang Yi adjusted the original role in this movie, Liu Zhutou moved to the original position of Jin Zhutou, and Jiang Zhutou replaced Liu Zhutou's position.

Although Liu Dehua played undercover and costume films, Jiang Bai is now a well-known undercover professional in the circle, and none of the undercover roles he has played are not good.

Whether it is enduring humiliation in the early stage, relying on intelligence in the later stage, or starting to be gentle and jade, or perverting in the later stage, Jiang Bai can control it with ease.

In addition, Jiang Bai's ancient costume is extremely outstanding, and it is really a waste to simply let him play a good person.

Although Zhang Yi said before that Jiang Bai played the male number one, after the role was changed, Jiang Bai became the male number two, but it was not a loss to change to the male number two, but he was inferior to Liu Dehua in the position.

However, due to the large number of scenes, Zhao Zhe finally negotiated a salary of 7 million US dollars for Jiang Bai.

And Zhang Yi also promised that Jiang Bai would be reported when the film was made and won for awards in the future.

After all, the protagonist of this movie is now Liu Dehua, the heroine is Zhang Ziyi, and the next is Jiang Bai, the second male lead and first supporting role.

And Jiang Bai feels that his role in this movie is like the role of Liu Dehua in the world, although he is not the protagonist, he is also quite brilliant as a supporting role, and he is not inferior to the male number one in the limelight.

Not to mention anything else, his salary is 7 million US dollars, and Liu Dehua's salary is less than his own.

Only 5 million.

But Zhao Zhe also said on the phone, that is, he got the role of the male number two Jiang Zhutou, if he took the male number one, the salary is estimated to be about 2 million US dollars, and Liu Dehua can get 10 million.

Although there is a difference of 3 million in the middle, Jiang Bai is also content, and he is on fire, but he is still incomparable with Liu Dehua.

And Zhang Yi knew that Jiang Bai's ability was good, so he deliberately added an extra $400,000.

Among them, 200,000 are to hire Jiang Bai and Cheng Xiaodong to be martial arts instructors together, and the other 200,000 is to ask Jiang Bai to create 20 tunes, of course, the price of 200,000 can only buy the use copyright of these 20 tunes.

When they were talking, Zhao Zhe gave Zhang Yi three plans, the first was to directly spend a lot of money to buy the complete copyright of the song, and the second was to use the song for free, but Jiang Bai wanted to participate in the follow-up box office sharing of this movie.

Whether it is a DVD or other copyright income, as long as the money earned has to be given to Jiang Bai.

The third option is to buy the rights to use only this one, and these tunes can be used in this film, but not elsewhere.

Zhang Yi had the intention to buy all the copyrights of these songs, but the investor didn't want to spend so much money, so Zhang Yi had to use the third method.

In this way, Jiang Bai will receive a total of 7.4 million US dollars by then.

Although the price of a tune is usually not so high now, first, Zhang Yi is willing to spend money, and secondly, he knows that the quality of the tunes made by Jiang Bai is very high, so he will pay the money directly.

However, this is also the general market situation in China is relatively low, and it is usually used in foreign countries in the form of dividends, if you want to buy it out at one time, it can be as little as hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars.

After negotiating like this, the contract was issued over there, the company signed it with the producer, and then just waited for Jiang Bai to go back and sign his name after filming Xianjian, and the contract began to take effect.

And Jiang Bai also started to be busy here, basically there was no time to rest, except for filming, he was guiding the actors' actions.

In his spare time, he has to teach Wang Baoqiang again, after all, when he leaves the group, only Wang Baoqiang is left here.

"Bao Qiang, you don't have any problems with your kung fu now, and you can teach them, your weakness is in stunts, the first is horse riding, the second is hanging Weiya, and the capture of the green screen, I will focus on teaching you these in the next period of time."

When Wang Baoqiang heard that Jiang Bai was going to entrust him with a heavy responsibility, he immediately nodded heavily: "Brother Jiang, don't worry, I will definitely study hard." ”

"Well, although you mainly take the path of an actor, it is also good for your future development if you can go through the path of martial arts guidance."

"Brother Jiang, I listen to you."

Wang Baoqiang is very obedient, and he firmly believes that Jiang Bai will not harm himself.

At the beginning, Jiang Bai was able to select him from so many group performances, and some time ago, in order to let himself get the male number one resource without thieves in the world, he took the initiative to appear with zero pay, and taught himself so many things on weekdays, and took himself to meet so many people in the circle.

After the filming of Yongkang, the crew as a whole shifted to Suiyun.

Suiyun's side they mainly filmed in the Xiandu Scenic Area, which is about six kilometers away from the city center, which is not far, so they still stay in a hotel in the city.

Filming back and forth every day.

Since Jiang Bai was going to leave in more than a month, Li Guoli directly ranked all of Jiang Bai's roles in front.

When filming, I also tried to shoot one and then keep one as much as possible, so as to avoid finding any problems with the content later, and there was no way to find Jiang Bai to come back to make up the film.

And Jiang Bai is also filming, while paying attention to the box office of the racing car from time to time.

Now, a month later, the crazy car box office has reached 80 million.

Although this figure is only the input cost of some blockbusters, it is already a huge profit for racing.

It's already double the investment, not to mention the next month.

"Teacher Jiang, are you going to leave in a while?"

On this day, Concubine Liu Yifei asked Jiang Bai with some reluctance.

"yes, I've got to go and shoot something else."

"And how long will your new drama take?"

"It will take three months anyway, Director Zhang is filming slowly, there is no way."

"Then aren't you going to film for the Chinese New Year?"

"Yes, it's probably going to be the New Year in the crew this year."

"So where are you going to shoot then? I'll see if I can play with you when I'm free. ”

"It should be in Yanjing at the beginning, and I may go to Chongqing later, but I'm not sure if I can come out, after all, Director Zhang has always liked to keep it secret."

"That's it, forget it, I still want to play with you when I'm not filming, but now it seems that I can only go back to class honestly."
