Chapter 315 Healing Movie
"It is reported that the box office of "I'm Not the God of Medicine", which has only been released for 10 days, has exceeded 3 billion, breaking many records in mainland film history..."
The sound from the phone speaker kept coming. Wu Youjin, who was holding his cell phone, unconsciously strengthened his grip on the phone when he heard the box office figures.
He is almost crazy with envy. He has been in the industry for so many years, and not to mention the movies he owns have exceeded 3 billion in 10 days, the one with the highest total box office is only just over 1 billion.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but cursed in his heart: Han Family Property, the mainland box office sets a record every year, why can't the record be broken by his own movie?
At this time, eight days had passed since he and Xu Xiyu discussed cooperation.
Within 8 days, he never contacted Xu Xiyu again.
But he didn’t contact me, and there were many contacts from people.
Just when he was envious and jealous here, the secretary opened the door and said: "I have inquired clearly, the Four-Eyed Ancestor has indeed met Xu Xiyu several times these days.
It is said that a preliminary cooperation intention has been reached. Not only that, he recently brought people from Taiwan with him to the capital to talk to Xu Xiyu about cooperation. ”
The Four-Eyed Ancestor mentioned by the secretary is Jiahe’s boss Cheng Guangzu. He wears glasses, so he is called the Four-Eyed Ancestor.
Therefore, when Wu Youjin heard that Cheng Guangzu and Xu Xiyu had reached a cooperation intention, he instinctively said: "You are so anxious, you will lose your pants."
After scolding, he asked again: "Have you ever found out what the cooperation is about?"
"It's really impossible to find out." The secretary shook his head.
"Xu Xiyu and we have no grudges in the past, and we have no grudges recently, and we don't necessarily have any friendship with Death Four Eyes. We shouldn't make two excuses, right?" Wu Youjin said thoughtfully.
"You mean, it's very possible that the Four-Eyed Ancestor pretended to be stupid and agreed to Xu Xiyu's nonsense about making a Hong Kong movie?" the secretary asked curiously.
"It should be, maybe he and I thought of going together, planning to sell out the favor. But the question is, what did the people from Taiwen do there?" Wu Youjin asked a little puzzled.
"Is it possible that the Four-Eyed Ancestor wants to find an enemy to help pay for him? What if Xu Xiyu really thinks that he can do it and gets crazy and wants to make a Hong Kong-style movie?" The secretary put forward a guess.
When Wu Youjin heard this, he felt that it made sense.
So, he said with a smile: "It's not impossible. No wonder Master Mai said that he was going to the next big limit. It's the time when fortune changes. If he behaves so randomly, there is a high probability that something will go wrong."
"It's inevitable to be proud of being famous at a young age. If everyone was as smart as you, how could there be any mess in this world?" The secretary flattered him at the right time.
What responded to him was Wu Youjin's extremely cheerful laughter.
Also laughing were the crew and creators of "I'm Not the God of Medicine" who had just finished recording the variety show and were removing their makeup backstage.
The box office has exceeded the 3 billion mark, and it will not be long before it breaks the box office record of "Huasheng Stew Shop" with 3.351 billion.
How can you not be happy about this?
Now, everyone is looking forward to what the total box office will be after the one-month release period ends.
"I guess, it must be 3.5 billion." Xu Fengchun smiled so hard that he couldn't even see his eyes. There are still 20 days of release period. He thinks that 500 million box office should be no problem.
Over 500 million might be a bit difficult. After all, the box office boom period has passed, and the box office is declining every day. By the end of the period, it will be considered good to have 10 million a day.
Meng Chengming was more optimistic than him and said directly: "I think there are 3.6 billion."
"You are too conservative, let me give you a number, 8 billion!" Director Bai Zhengshan saw them guessing the box office, and laughed and joined in.
Of course, because the numbers he mentioned are too outrageous. Therefore, the activity of guessing the box office directly turned into an "auction", and within a short time, the price reached "20 billion".
Different from the excitement and excitement of these people, Lu Qinyao, who was sitting in front of the corner mirror taking off her makeup, was a little absent-minded.
Since Xu Xiyu went to Pengcheng in advance 9 days ago, he has not participated in the subsequent road show.
In other words, the two of them have not seen each other since that day.
What Xu Xiyu said on the phone was that he was going to the capital to deal with new projects. But Lu Qinyao felt inexplicably that he was avoiding her.
This made her feel a little disappointed.
To be honest, when she was staying with Xu Xiyu, she had been careful to hide her desire to have a child.
As a girlfriend, she knows Xu Xiyu's "sensitivity" better than anyone else. If he showed any "flaws", Xu Xiyu might soon guess what he was thinking.
She didn't want Xu Xiyu to guess. Because she believed that once Xu Xiyu knew her thoughts, the relationship between the two people would most likely come to an end.
In the entertainment industry, many people are separated like this.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but sigh again, as if a stone was weighing on her heart.
On the other side, Xu Xiyu's mood was equally heavy.
He was indeed avoiding Lu Qinyao because he didn't know how to face her for a while, or in other words, he didn't know how to face the topic of "having a baby."
But he is also really working on new projects.
In eight days, he communicated with some colleagues in Hong Kong, Taiwan and the mainland.
This time, he plans to star in three movies. The first one is the famous high-box office comedy "The Richest Man in Xihong City".
This movie station is prepared to invest 10%. The three private companies, Wandou, Guangying and Bernard, as well as China Film, are each prepared to invest 10%, with the remaining 30% going to Huaqing, Xiao Moss and Xu Xiyu each holding 10%.
The purpose of dividing the cake like this is so that Lu Qinyao can win awards in both the mainland and Taiwan.
The second movie is, of course, "Infernal Affairs."
Jiahe accounted for 25%, Yongsheng accounted for 15%, Huaqing accounted for 30%, Xiao Moss and Xu Xiyu accounted for 15% each. The purpose of this investment is to let Lu Qinyao win the prize in Xiangjiang.
It can be said that Xu Xiyu put a lot of thought into giving Lu Qinyao a "super sense of ceremony."
Now, just wait for the book to be written and the project to start.
But Xu Xiyu hesitated about the originally scheduled third movie "The Disciple."
The reason for hesitation was that he learned another news from Gong Lingyun.
"You mean, Qin Yao had nightmares for a long time after being scolded by Chen Jing?" Xu Xiyu's brows were furrowed.
"Yes." Gong Lingyun nodded.
Then he emphasized: "You must not think that she has poor ability to withstand pressure, and don't think that she is making a fuss out of a molehill. Over the years, many people have scolded her online, and some of them have been worse, but she has never cared about it. < br>
But this time it's really different. First of all, in order to play "I'm Not the God of Medicine" well, she may have gone a little too deep into the drama.
Secondly, you are still young and may not be aware of the pressure she is under from family and age. Chen Jing's words were just a trigger. ”
"I understand." Xu Xiyu nodded, and then asked, "Have you been in contact with her these days? Is she in good condition?"
"It looks normal, but only she knows whether it is normal or not." Gong Lingyun sighed as he spoke.
She actually wanted to ask Xu Xiyu what he planned to do, but she swallowed the words as soon as they came to her lips.
Because she felt that it was not her place to ask such questions.
Moreover, in the entertainment industry, there are too many people with this kind of relationship like Xu Xiyu and Lu Qinyao. Most people are fine with just having fun, but once the topic of "having a baby" comes up, there's no need to talk about it, so just drop it.
Thinking of this, Gong Lingyun's eyes looked at Xu Xiyu softer. After all, there are not many people who value emotions like Xu Xiyu.
Seeing that she was hesitant to speak, Xu Xiyu understood what she meant.
Not enough, he really couldn't give any answer.
So, he changed the topic and said: "I originally planned to make a movie, and the purpose of making it was to win an award for Qin Yao."
"Get an award?" Gong Lingyun was startled when he heard this, and then asked, "What subject? Did you write your own book?"
"It doesn't matter what the subject matter is. Now that I think about it, the character setting may not be suitable." Xu Xiyu shook his head and did not elaborate.
He was afraid that Gong Lingyun's character setting would reach Lu Qinyao's ears. Because in the story of "The Disciple", the heroine who smokes also has a daughter.
Normally, the richer and more conflict-ridden the character setting is for an actor, the better. But for Lu Qinyao now, this setting may trigger some bad associations.
Since "The Disciples" has already been deemed inappropriate, there is really no need to mention it further.
So, he continued: "I think the most suitable role for her now is a healing story, and it has to be the kind of healing story that can win awards."
"Healing system?" Gong Lingyun began to think.
After pondering for a moment, she agreed: "The healing system is great! Also, if she can win a heavyweight actor award, she will be very happy."
To be honest, Gong Lingyun also felt that it was a bit embarrassing for Xu Xiyu to be a father at this age.
Therefore, if you are destined to be unable to fulfill your wishes in life, progress in your career may be able to compensate.
Thinking of this, she emphasized again: "Xiyu, 35 years old is a hurdle for a woman. She really needs a prize to enter a new stage of life."
"One award?" Xu Xiyu was startled. He didn't expect that Gong Lingyun's ambition was so small. What's the meaning of one award?
Gong Lingyun did not understand what Xu Xiyu meant.
She would never have imagined that Xu Xiyu planned to sweep the heavyweight awards in the three places across the Taiwan Strait and make Lu Qinyao the "Grand Slam Best Actress".
After all, she has followed Lu Qinyao for so many years and won the biggest award, the Golden Eagle Award for Best Newcomer.
Under the inertial thinking, she felt that the title of Best Actress was a bit far away from Lu Qinyao, so she would be grateful if she could get one.
Therefore, she said solemnly: "This award should be like the Golden Rooster Award or the Hundred Flowers Award. It would be even better if it is the Huabiao Award."
