Illiterate top class: three years of poor performance, become a superstar

Chapter 221 'Three years and three years later'

"..."

After listening to Li Cheng's chattering on the other end of the phone, Boss Xu said unhappily: "What's going on, Director Li."

"How can we just start construction early?"

"Is there any time management for such a big crew? Is there any plan? Are there any rules?"

Opposite me, Li Cheng quickly laughed: "I really have no choice. I can't stay in the Mainland. I have to go to Hong Kong to avoid the limelight."

"The bosses of Detective Tang 2 are chasing me all over the world, saying this and that..."

Xu Nian gave friendly advice: "If you can hide from the first year of junior high school, you can't hide from the fifteenth year. It's better to accept your fate. Anyway, I won't take the blame."

"You Tianyue also has a share!" Li Cheng became anxious at that time, "Tianyue is also the employer!"

Hearing this, Xu Nian's brows rose: "Then didn't you take the initiative to send it to my door?"

Li Cheng simply showed off his cards directly: "Don't worry so much, work will start tomorrow afternoon anyway."

"Okay." Xu Nian thought about it and agreed, "Sacrifice my two days of vacation and remember to pay more."

Hearing this, Li Cheng instantly smiled heartily: "I must add it, the red envelopes are all ready!"

This... this is probably called the 'writer-director' relationship in the new era. Both directors and screenwriters have to bow their eyebrows in front of top actors.

However, although this situation exists no matter which crew Xu has worked on, it really has nothing to do with the new era.

The weight of other top actors' voices on the set is undeniable. Even veteran actors like Lu Mingkai are able to speak out. It is basically because of bringing money into the group and the "small crew" to attract traffic.

Therefore, in this situation, the change in the relationship between discourse power is partly due to each getting what he needs.

Part of it is the digitization of popularity in the new era, which can easily breed a bunch of bloated players.

Of course, none of this has anything to do with Xu.

Xu's seriousness depends on his personal charm.

Directors such as Li Cheng, Zhuang Hui, Tian Wenqi, etc. all came here in a hurry.

Really.

If it weren't for Xu, Li Cheng, a director who made art films that made him famous, would he be able to shake things up now?

Can Tian Wenqi, a director with no investment, easily hit a box office of 20 billion?
He Zhuang Hui... He Zhuang Hui, just wait and see...

As for the extra reason why Li Cheng suddenly wanted to go to Hong Kong to escape the limelight, apart from the joking element, a very important factor is——

The current box office of Detective Tang 2 is indeed a bit too high.

6 billion in 24 days, 40 billion box office is as stable as a dog.

With such an exaggerated total box office, no single investor may even be able to get as much of a share as Xu Nian.

After all, the party with the highest investment can only get 15%, and this 15% needs to first deduct the theater chain’s share and so on.

The key point is the total box office sharing agreement signed between Li Cheng and Xu Nian.

Therefore, before the capital distributes the money, it is necessary to give Xu Nian's total 7.5%.

In short, with the current sharing model, the total share ratio of all the film producers combined cannot reach 30% of the total box office.

And Xu Nian can get 7.5% alone. What is the concept? If the employer wants to get Xu Nian so much, it must account for at least 25% of the share.

Although the more box office there is, the more the management will make. Based on the amount of investment, even the current box office is a huge profit;
But the management wanted to strangle Li Cheng to death even if they didn't want to hide it.

It should be noted that during the original negotiation, Xu wanted 6%. This kind of news could not be hidden from the employer... After all, Tianyue was one of the employers.

I remember when Li Cheng was drunk and asked Xu Nian about the box office of Tang Detective 2. Xu Nian casually said 40 billion, which almost scared Li Cheng awake.

At that time, Li Cheng thought that if the box office exceeded 40 billion, the capital would be able to kill him.

Fortunately...well, unfortunately, the box office is destined to reach 40 billion.

Because the pre-sale box office available on the 7th has exceeded 3 million, and the cumulative box office available for pre-sale at all subsequent times has exceeded [-] million!
Obviously, on the last day of the National Day holiday, the audience will have a wave of 'revenge' consumption to boost the box office of Detective 2.

Li Cheng thought for a while, he'd better start filming as soon as possible.

I can't stay in this mainland for more than a minute.

Roadshow?

It also ran a Gouba road show, and if it continues, it will set a new box office record in film history.

Of course, this is just pure YY, and it is difficult for the potential of Tang Detective 2 to reach that level.

The current total box office record in Chinese film history is 57.75 billion, which is much more than 40 billion.

It should be noted that even if the screening key is extended for one month, after the initial stage, it will be more difficult to maintain a daily box office of [-] million in the later period.

The total box office in a month is far less than the single-day box office in the early days of its release.

Of course, the more important reason is that time is really too tight right now.

Now that the box office target of 20 billion has been achieved ahead of schedule, Li Cheng thought that Mr. Xu could go into battle lightly and rush to work.

If he knew that Mr. Xu was either playing games at his new home these days, measuring the size of the estate in a wheelchair, or 'fighting' with Lin Jianian, he would be so angry that he would die three times.

…………

After ending the call, Xu Nian walked back to the living room where the decoration was getting fresher. He looked at the two women and the celebration cake on the table, and couldn't help but sigh.

Then he said: "If the company doesn't award me the Model Worker Award at this year's annual meeting, I will go to the Labor Bureau to sue Tianyue!"

Seeing this, Lin Jia Nian raised a question mark: "?"

She didn't understand what Xu Nian was up to right away.

Next to him, Zhang Yawei chuckled and said, "Okay, I will definitely customize a trophy for you."

Then he asked with concern: "Is there any temporary change on Li Cheng's side?"

"That's right." Xu Nian sighed again, "The vacation is over and I'm going to Hong Kong to film a movie tomorrow afternoon."

"I really can't blame this society for having to sign a contract for everything we do. We really can't trust verbal promises... They all rely on Li Cheng. A kind and friendly person like me starts to doubt the sincerity of others!"

Fortunately, both Zhang Yawei and Lin Jia Nian have long been accustomed to Xu Nian's style of not wanting Bi Lian.

They tacitly followed the conversation and then changed the topic.

We can't let this kid raise his tail.

It's just that... the text printed on the cake on the table is-'Congratulations to Xu Nian for raising 50 billion emperors'

This celebration happened to be a little late, and it didn't start until after ten o'clock in the evening.

However, even though the movie starring Xu has not yet exceeded 60 billion, it is hard not to feel dismayed by this situation.

So... not surprising at all, Lin Jia Nian couldn't help but have a fight with Xu Nian.

Seeing that Xu called her "Sister Jia Nian," Lin Jia Nian kindly taught Xu not to put on a stern face.

You have to learn to be low-key in everything.

It had nothing to do with her dislike of Xu's face.

Although, after Lin Jia Nian finished the battle, he went to open up the new game City Skyline with Xu Nian in a very happy mood.

What's wrong with single-player games? Can't two-player games be played in single-player games?

'Men and women can work together without getting tired' is an eternal truth!
You have to play it with two people to not get bored.

…………

…………

October 10th, the last day of the National Day holiday, Monday.

Hong Kong is very hot in the afternoon, and the crisp autumn air from the motherland to the north is nowhere to be seen here.

The streets and alleys are full of white-legged... people taking refuge from the summer heat.

It just looks good.

While rushing to the new filming studio, Meng Chao, who already had a partner, couldn't help but point at her.

He said in a whiny voice:
"Hey, brother, look at it, this one is good, this one is good, it's so straight."

"This is not bad, it has a little bit of meat, it's just..."

"This is almost meaningless..."

Xu Nian glanced at Meng Chao with disdain: "You are about to get married, so you are starting to become perverted, right?"

"What are you talking about?" Meng Chao was a little dissatisfied, but then said smugly, "I've always been such a pervert!"

Xu Nian thought about it carefully and couldn't refute it. This guy had indeed always been a pervert and played in a fancy way.

There were a lot of excuses at the beginning. As an agent, I didn’t want to be like this, but the big guys liked to play like this, so I could only pretend.

I have become like this if I pretend too much, and I have become a slave to this society and so on.

In fact, this kid is born to like it.

All I can say is that Yu Ting suffered a huge loss by following this guy...

The car stopped and stopped and finally arrived at the set in Central.

Xu Nian arrived relatively late this time.

But it still hit the mark.

Mainly because of the restart of work, the crew must have rushed to the filming location in advance to organize the scenery.

As a director, it is certainly reasonable for Li Cheng to come to the scene in advance.

Xu Nian looked at the set where final preparations were still being made, sat down in the chief director's seat, and looked at Li Cheng: "What should I say, Director Li."

"Of course I'll leave it to you." Li Cheng replied with a smile, "It's all for a small occasion. Thank you for your hard work, second uncle."

Xu Nian: "..."

He knew that the first scene was his.

There is absolutely no reason for this.

On set!

Really, I didn’t run away.

…………

Ten minutes later, Xu Nian had a plaster prop on his hand, his clothes and hairstyle were changed, and the stubble... the stubble was ready-made.

Since September, in order to adapt to the role of "Xu Yongren", Xu Nian has hardly shaved his beard.

Including the premiere and the [-]th road show, Xu Nian even appeared on the scene with an unshaven beard.

At that time, there was also a hot search topic called... # mature and charming version of Xu Nian kill me

Mainly, although Xu is over 23 years old, he is still a young man, and his beard grows slowly, so he can only sacrifice a little for the role~
As Li Cheng personally shouted "action" through the loudspeaker, filming officially started.

On the rooftop, 'Xu Yongren' put his hands on the iron frame guardrail and looked to the left: "It was clearly promised for three years..."

What to say next? Xu Nian casually followed his emotions and said: "Three years and three years later."

"Three years after that and three years after that."

"Almost ten years, boss."

Chen Liliang, who co-starred as "Huang Zhicheng", is worthy of being a Grand Slam Best Actor. He did not appear in the scene because Xu Nian did not follow the words.

Looking at Xu Nian, Chen Liliang said: "Can you treat me better? Now I am the only one in Hong Kong who knows your identity..."

Li Cheng's shout sounded at the right time: "Stuck!"

"Second uncle, your plays are getting more and more interesting. The two lines you added casually are a perfect match!"

Chen Liliang and the others all agreed.

Xu Nian: "..."

He might have taken it seriously before, but not now. He said calmly: "I forgot the words. I just said it twice before I remembered it."

Others present: "..."

Li Cheng suddenly became excited after hearing this: "What is a natural performance?"

"This is it! The second uncle was born to eat this bowl of rice!"

As for not adding extra updates, it’s because I haven’t stayed up late recently because the physical examination report killed me~
