Director: Female stars want to improve too much

Chapter 116 Haha, the Lions Gate is completed, Leone kneels down! (Please subscribe)

"Now, let's sail far away, to the free side."

Until the theater lights came on and the audience reluctantly walked to the exit, Zhang Yimou was still thinking about Captain Jack's lines.

As the black curtain once again enveloped the ten-meter-long big screen, "Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl" came to a complete end.

After 141 minutes, Zhang Yimou was both smiling and shocked. In the end, a bitter smile appeared on his face.

He turned to look at Zhang Weiping, who also had a solemn expression: "Xing Baizhou may really want to sail towards freedom."

Zhang Weiping shrugged and sighed: "What else can we do? Maybe there is such a thing as a genius in this world."

"Genius?! He probably exists." Zhang Yimou rubbed his eyes with both hands, "Look, Einstein, Qian Lao, Yang Zhenlin, who didn't become famous at a young age?"

"..."

The two walked out of the cinema.

After turning a few turns, we entered a coffee shop.

Zhang Yimou: "I think our "Hero" is not much worse than "Pirates of the Caribbean" in terms of movie quality, but the subject matter suffers, and it can only be more popular in China."

Zhang Weiping: "Then we should seize the domestic film market. If we fight with Xing Baizhou domestically, we won't lose too badly."

Zhang Yimou: "Hahaha, indeed, the foreign market will not be as good as "Pirates of the Caribbean" when the time comes. We can also say that it is due to the subject matter and it is not my fault."

Zhang Weiping: "Just what I want."

The two worked hard again and began to plan how to expand their influence in the country.

finally.

It actually made them think of an unheard-of premiere method - holding the premiere of "Hero" at the RM Auditorium.

These two are so good at hype.

……

the other side.

Xu Qing, Gao Yuanyuan, Fan Xiaopang and Gong Li left the cinema and discussed non-stop on the way to the parking lot.

The four women almost had stars in their eyes, and they admired Xing Baizhou so much.

Xu Qing, who had been on the set of "Pirates of the Caribbean" for a while, said proudly: "When I was filming with the set, I predicted today's result. My brother will always be great!"

Gong Li always tries to dismantle her: "Tsk, who didn't know you were there to play?"

Xu Qing suddenly became angry: "You really want to go, brother, can you let me go? I'll make you mad!!"

Gong Li hummed and ignored her.

Xiao Fan and Yuanyuan didn't want to get involved in the disputes between the elder sisters. They chatted lively and praised their men to the sky.

Arrived at the nanny's car.

Xu Qing drove, the three of them sat in the back, and the air suddenly became quiet for a moment.

At the traffic light intersection, the four people suddenly turned to look at the other three people at the same time. Then, the whole car laughed for a minute.

"Haha, I never thought that there would be a day like this where I would share a man with another woman!" Fan Xiaopang covered his mouth and his eyes narrowed into crescent moons.

"Who isn't?" Xu Qing patted the steering wheel and said with a smile, "I don't know what kind of magic that brat used, but I'm actually willing to share him with you!"

"Maybe this is love!?" Gong Li said, "What else should I do? Leave him?"

Gao Yuanyuan rushed to say: "Wow, oh, oh, I was just like Sister Li said at the time, I couldn't accept that Baizhou had several women, but I didn't want to leave him, so I could only turn a blind eye. To think that...I don't hate you after seeing you..."

This kind of thing is so magical.

If it were told to ordinary people, it would definitely seem like a fantasy, but in the wealthy circles, it seems to be a very common thing.

These women have more or less heard of a rich man who raised several women.

now.

They all chattered about the gossip they knew.

"Hey, I heard that that guy in Xiangjiang has seven or eight concubines..."

"I heard that there is a coal mining business here in the capital, and there are more than a dozen..."

"Can you come over to play?"

"Is he as strong as my younger brother? My younger brother can easily handle the four of us by himself. I don't believe there is anyone better than my younger brother."

……

Huang Xiaoming was caught by a Sina reporter as soon as he walked out of the cinema. There was a girl beside him, who was his girlfriend of five years.

Leader Huang's first love was Liu Liqi. The two started dating in college, and now they are less than two years away from breaking up.

at this time.

The reporter was worried that there was no big news to dig out. How could he let go when he saw someone like this charging at gunpoint?

So, I immediately ran up with a voice recorder, and the photographer behind me took pictures.

Sina reporters knew that Huang Xiaoming was an artist under Xing Baizhou.

Therefore, the question asked is also very polite: "Brother Xiaoming, do you and your girlfriend come to support Director Xing? What do you think of the movie?"

Huang Xiaoming did not shy away. He put his arm around his girlfriend and said, "It's great. I highly recommend everyone to watch it. It's very exciting. Both the plot and the special effects are at the top international level..."

"Really? I don't believe it!" the female reporter replied, making Master Huang almost roll his eyes.

Mad, are you the new intern? Will you answer the call?

He straightened his expression and smiled politely: "You'll know when you go and take a look. I'll pay for it if it doesn't look good."

Liu Liqi, who was standing next to him, tilted his head and said, "Director Xing's movie is great. This is the most exciting fantasy adventure movie I have ever seen. I highly recommend it!"

……

other people.

People like Zhang Songwen, Li Xiaoran, Wang Luodan, etc. all found people to share their movies with and enthusiastically recommended them to their relatives and friends.

Even Tang Yan, who was busy studying for the final college entrance examination in high school, was begging his parents to buy his first movie after the college entrance examination.

Not only that.

The audience also spontaneously became tap water.

Forums such as Tianya, Shuimu Tsinghua, Maopu, etc., wherever there are people, you can almost see the shadow of "Pirates of the Caribbean".

[I highly recommend Xing Baizhou's new movie. It's really well shot. I think it's not much worse than "The Lord of the Rings"]

[This fantasy adventure movie has a compact plot, vivid performances, interesting stories, and is full of fantasy. It is highly recommended. Also, when will Director Xing release the second film? 】

[Captain Jack in it is so handsome]

[The heroine is also very beautiful, she looks like the Italian ball belle Monica Bellucci]

[The box office of this movie is conservatively estimated at 2 million. I wonder if Zhang Yimou is under any pressure? 】

[I heard that Lao Mouzi's "Hero" has been produced a long time ago, but I am not sure about the schedule. I am laughing so hard]

【…】

……

North America.

The audience coming out of the movie also had various exclamations and discussions. Everyone was impressed by the wonderful performances of Jack and Captain Barbossa.

Hollywood's top magazine "Variety" devoted a full page to reporting on the grand opening day of "Pirates of the Caribbean".

["Pirates of the Caribbean" completely subverted the previous ideas for shooting pirate movies]

[Xing Baizhou interprets the charm of combining Eastern and Western thoughts in a new way...]

[It is the most recommended movie this summer, no one. It is very suitable for a family or a group of friends to watch...]

Also.

The top American newspaper "Los Angeles Times" also made extensive reports on the movie-watching wave triggered by "Pirates of the Caribbean".

[The box office of "Pirates of the Caribbean" exceeded 1500 million US dollars on its first day of release, second only to the 2000 million of "Spider-Man", and may create another box office miracle! 】

There is news everywhere on TV.

ABC also included a video of viewers queuing up in a movie theater to watch "Pirates of the Caribbean" during its live news broadcast.

... a week later.

The first weekend box office results are grandly released.

Xing Baizhou, Ning Hao, Smith, Davis, as well as Depp, Leone and Bloom, the seven people sat nervously in the Lions Gate general manager's office.

Outside.

A female secretary with blond hair wearing a hip-hugging skirt and high heels quickly opened the door and walked in with her waist swaying.

Everyone looked at her.

Of course, she wasn't looking at her breasts, but at the report she was holding in her hand.

Smith couldn't wait any longer. He stood up with a bang, walked to Secretary Da Bo, and grabbed the report form.

When his eyes scanned the numbers above, his eyes suddenly swayed.

Smith thought he was presbyopic, so he rubbed his eyes and looked carefully at the long series of numbers again.

Then, in the eager eyes of everyone, the number was read: "1.02 million... Daole!!!"

"Wocao! Awesome!"

"I bought it!?"

"Shift!!!"

"Fuck, win!"

"It's incredible. It exceeded US$1 million. I was still too conservative!"

"Hahaha, it's done, the Lions Gate is done..."

"..."

At this moment.

The atmosphere in the room could no longer be suppressed. No one knew how much pressure Davis endured to make this movie.

His tears couldn't stop flowing.

It took me a while to hold back my tears...

Davis, who controlled his emotions, immediately opened his arms and walked towards Xing Baizhou: "Xing, you are really a genius, you are my god!"

Xing Baizhou also opened his arms and hugged him: "No, Davis, we are mutually successful. Without your strong support, I would not have been able to make this movie."

Davis laughed loudly: "Xing, we will have more exciting cooperation, let the people in Hollywood see what strength is!"

Smith was already dancing excitedly, running around the room with the report in his hand: "Wow, shit, the top six in Hollywood, just wait and see, Xing will definitely beat you all over the floor!!"

Depp was completely stunned. He sat on the sofa without moving his eyes, as if his brain had shut down.

Even Bloom next to him didn't react when he pushed him.

Leone's face was as pretty as a flower, and her smile was brighter than the sun. She couldn't help but spin around in the room, her little skirt fluttering in the wind.

And Ning Hao kept shouting "Wocao, awesome, Wocao, awesome..."

Everyone expresses joy in their own way.

The first person to calm down was Xing Baizhou.

He took a deep breath, walked to the window, and looked at the looming Beverly Hills in the distance through the floor-to-ceiling windows.

It is one of the places where the richest people gather in the United States.

Many Hollywood stars also own properties here.

It can be said.

If you own a house here, you won't have to worry about it for the rest of your life. You can make a lot of money just by renting it out.

Davis followed his gaze and said with a smile: "Xing, when the "Pirates of the Caribbean" installment is credited to your card, you can buy any house there."

"Davis, this is an exaggeration."

"NO, it's no exaggeration. The performance of "Spider-Man" is slightly better than ours. It has a global box office of 8 million. Even if we earn 7 million, you can still get 1 million..."

Davis was drooling as he spoke.

To know.

Xing Baizhou earned this alone, but he, Davis, carried the entire company on his shoulders.

"Haha, okay, I'll get a set when the bill is settled, and then I'll ask you to have a party..." Xing Baizhou said.

"Xing, don't you have a saying in China that it's better to choose a day than to hit it? Let's have a party tonight and go to my house." Davis said.

The voice just fell.

Good news comes from home.

Han Sanping made an overseas phone call and shouted excitedly: "Xing Baizhou, you scared me, haha, do you know the domestic box office? Haha, you definitely don't know, I was the first to know... "

This guy Lao Han always plays riddles when he comes up.

Xing Baizhou followed his words.

then.

Old Han couldn't hold it in anymore, "You kid, why didn't you ask how much the box office was? I'm so worried. I'm telling you, 7 million in 8000 days, and 7 million in a single day for 1000 consecutive days!"

Xing Baizhou was a little shocked this time: "Wocao, seize the young master?"

Han Sanping felt so happy: "One week, 8000 million!"

Ning Hao was also surprised when he heard this. This is China. When did the domestic market become so powerful?

in fact.

The domestic movie market has always been so sluggish, mainly because there are no good movies, not because people have no money to watch.

In fact, "Titanic", which was released in China in 1998, took in a box office of 3.5 million yuan... which is enough to show that people at this time did not have money to watch movies.

And this moment.

"Pirates of the Caribbean" once again inspired people to watch movies.

Han Sanping slapped the table and said excitedly: "Xiao Xing, the domestic box office can't beat 2.5 million, or even 3 million is expected. Please tell me how much it is in North America..."

Xing Baizhou raised a smile and deliberately delayed a few words to make Han Sanping anxious.

"Mr. Han, let's not talk about it. North America already has 1.02 million."

"Ah?! Is it Daole?"

"certainly……"

"Wocao, I have to slow down, grass..."

……

The evening party lasted until eleven o'clock at night.

Davis, Smith, Depp, Bloom, Ning Hao and others drank so much that they fell asleep leaning on the sofa on the first floor.

Xing Baizhou was pulled upstairs by Leone.

Guest room on the second floor.

Miriam Leone spread her hair, took off her high heels, and walked up licking her red lips: "Xing, you are the best man I have ever seen!"

When Xing Baizhou lowered his head, he could see the white lumps on her chest.

now.

Under the stimulation of alcohol, he suddenly grabbed Leone's shoulders and stared directly into her eyes: "Kneel down and bite!"

This was the first time that Leone saw Xing Baizhou's evil eyes.

I thought to myself, "Xing must be so happy because of his box office victory. Hehe, then I will satisfy him and make him a little happier."

Think of this.

Leone nodded obediently and knelt down in front of Xing Baizhou with his knees together.

Xing Baizhou pulled off the T-shirt on his body, and Leone raised his head and touched his hard abdominal muscles, his eyes full of desire.

Seeing the woman like this, Xing Baizhou held her head with both hands, put his thumbs into the corners of her mouth, and said with a smile: "Let's start, baby!"
