Director: Female stars want to improve too much

Chapter 139 What is a genius director, the sexy Leone (please subscribe)

[Third runner-up at the global box office in 2003 - "Iron Man"! 】

["Iron Man" beat "The Matrix 2: Reloaded", "Pirates of the Caribbean 1" and "Terminator", earning US$8.3 million, third in the year]

[Xing Baizhou’s two films earned US$16.1 billion last year, making him the world’s top-grossing director]

【…】

Major media outlets around the world have reprinted news about him.

Even "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King", which had a box office of US$11.4 billion, was not as popular as him.

With an annual box office of US$16.1 billion, it is unrivaled in the world.

Especially, he is young.

Not that kind of old director who is over fifty years old!
Although in 2003, his two movies "Iron Man 1" and "Pirates of the Caribbean 1" did not have the same box office as the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy.

Of the US$1.5 million in the account, Baizhou Film and Television contributed US$4000 million, China Film invested US$5000 million, and Lions Gate invested US$6000 million.

A netizen analyzed: "It is rumored that he has 10% of the box office share, which alone can get 8300 million US dollars."

At last.

【…】

[How much interest will you get from depositing so much money in the bank? 】

[Can one movie earn $1.3 million? What kind of evil genius is this? ? 】

If other directors were to do it, US$1.5 million might not be enough.

Even CCTV News Channel reported in the live broadcast room that "Iron Man" earned 8.3 million in box office.

He saw this analysis post, copied and pasted it all, and then wrote an article himself "dehydrated".

Many people on the forum are concerned about how much money Xing Baizhou can get.

You know, the subsequent benefits of "Iron Man" will go to the three production companies, and they can still make a lot of money.

Xing Baizhou and his Baizhou Film and Television can get at least US$1.3 million before tax...

[A movie earned more than 5 million yuan? This is so outrageous. 】

Netizens on the forum came to a conclusion.

It doesn't seem like much.

A certain news editor from Sohu also hangs out on the Tianya Forum.

Just outrageous!
Of course, Xing Baizhou couldn't swindle his own money, so he couldn't spend all the money.

Netizens below exclaimed:
[Fuck, you’re making so much money! 】

The total investment in this film is US$1.5 million.

For a while.

For example, some directors use investors' money as water, and the crew spends 4 yuan to buy a broken straw hat.

[Brothers, this is just one of his movies. Last year he also filmed "Pirates of the Caribbean", "Hawthorn Love" and "Youth"...]

Calculated according to the account sharing ratio, the final share will probably be around US$5500 million.

Everyone in the entertainment industry across the country knows about this.

It is difficult to cross this mountain!
……

Because in a few years, that is, in 2009, "Avatar" directed by Cameron will sweep the world and gross 28.47 billion US dollars.

The remaining money will be used for the production of "Iron Man 2".

Baizhou Film and Television holds 26.67% of the shares.

[The state-owned enterprise I work for has 6000 employees and made just over 1 million in profit last year, which was not even a fraction of Xing Baizhou’s. 】

The fact that Xing Baizhou made 1.3 million yuan from a movie quickly expanded from the Tianya Forum to the entire Internet.

of course.

But although this record is very fragrant, Xing Baizhou has no intention of staring at it.

[One person and one movie can earn more than the listed company I work for. 】

The actual cost was less than $1 million.

[If I had that much money, I could just retire where I am and enjoy life. 】

But no one doubts that he will break this record sooner or later.

Such savings are all due to the fact that the director is Xing Baizhou. After all, he makes his own movies and cannot waste money casually.

【…】

After the box office comes out.

As soon as the report came out.

This data directly shocked everyone on the forum.

The title of "Genius Director" was completely placed on his head, and he became the idol of many boys and girls overnight.

Even the number of people applying for Nortel this year has surpassed that of China Theater.

Nortel is proud.

……

Tongzhou.

Xing Baizhou's parents are visiting the supermarket.

Suddenly someone called out to them.

"Ha, Lao Xing, congratulations, congratulations!"

Lao Xing looked at his old acquaintance, touched his head and smiled: "What's wrong? What's the happy event today?"

The old acquaintance took a breath: "Hiss, you don't know yet?"

Lao Xing muttered in his heart: "What's the matter? Is it the pregnancy of my son's girlfriend? But the confidentiality measures are very strict, no one should know?"

Xing Baizhou's mother also felt a little bit in her heart.

But the person opposite laughed and said, "Well, you gave birth to a good son. Xiao Xing's new movie earned more than 1 million U.S. dollars, U.S. dollars!"

Mr. and Mrs. Xing: "Huh?"

the other side.

Xu Qing, who was pregnant with her baby bump, came across the news while sitting at home. She immediately made a phone call to congratulate her.

Gao Yuanyuan, Fan Xiaopang and others also called one after another.

Everyone feels like they are with the right man.

$1.3 million…

They may not be able to make any money in their lifetime, but Xing Baizhou made so much in one movie, which had a huge impact on them.

The parties concerned were quite calm.

He has been constantly accepting social activities these days. People from Beijing and Hong Kong circles have sent letters of nomination, and everyone is fawning over him.

Especially Fang Long, who brought more than a dozen people from his family class to visit him.

Even Leslie Cheung, who never liked socializing, was invited by him...

Fang Long knew that Xing Baizhou and Leslie Cheung had a good relationship, so he specifically asked him to be the go-between to put in good words.

Kindheartedly accepted.

But he didn't want the certificate of surrender.

Forming cliques is very effective in the entertainment industry and helps the career, but it is not necessary for Director Xing.

In the eyes of everyone, he is the thickest thigh.

Moreover, he also has close relations with the General Administration, China Film and Television, and Nortel. There are many big bosses standing behind him, making him a steady force.

All he needs now is to establish good relations with all parties in the entertainment industry.

If it doesn’t tear, everything will be easy to handle.

If he accepts the benefits of Fang Long, people in the circle will tie him and Fang Long together in the future, which is really unnecessary.

Currently, the script for "Rush Hour 3" is already being written in Hollywood.

The formation of the crew is about to begin, and filming is expected to begin in the summer in May, and is scheduled to be released by the end of the year.

Van Loon values ​​this movie very much.

Previously.

The "Magic Tuxedo" movies he filmed in Hollywood all failed at the box office, and people in Hollywood were less willing to invest in him.

As a result, he had to return to Hong Kong and filmed "Royal Dragon" and "Flying Dragon Reborn" successively, both of which received average box office results.

In his previous life, he found a relationship and returned to Hollywood in 2004, willing to be a supporting actor in "Around the World in 80 Days."

The results are predictable...

The box office was not as high as the investment, and it was a complete flop.

After this film, he almost completely lost investment in Hollywood.

If it weren't for the filming of the third sequel of "The Blade" in 2007, he wouldn't have been able to return to Hollywood.

Now, Fanglong, who is in the throes of his career, has to seek outside help to break through the bottleneck of his career.

As a fellow Chinese working in Hollywood, Xing Baizhou naturally became his primary target of flattery.

Kung Fu superstars are nothing in front of a great director like Director Xing.

Fang Long is self-aware.

therefore.

During the meeting with Director Xing, he was always very humble. From Xing Baizhou's point of view, the reason why he agreed to Fang Long was mainly because he wanted to test the waters by making an action movie.

He had not had much contact with this type before.

The last time Yuen Woo-Ping was cast as a martial artist, "Daisy" had too few action scenes and was not satisfying at all.

Therefore, after thinking briefly, he agreed to Fang Long.

There are still three or four months left before filming.

During this time, he also has to focus on the production of "Iron Man 2" and strive to release it on the shelves in the summer.

Also.

We also have to film "Pirates of the Caribbean 2", so the first half of the year will be quite busy.

……

The production model in Hollywood is different from that in China. In many cases, the director does not need to worry about post-production after filming.

Because I can't control it.

These things are all handled by the producer.

However, Xing Baizhou has a relatively large say, and his opinions must be listened to in the post-production of "Iron Man 2".

Currently, the second part is already being produced at Lions Gate, and he just needs to check it out regularly.

at the same time.

"Pirates of the Caribbean 2" is about to start filming.

The crew has been set up and the actors are on standby at any time. As long as Xing Baizhou gives the order, filming can be done immediately.

Previously, the filming of Pirates 2 encountered a small problem.

After the first movie became a hit, Depp clamored to modify his contract and wanted a share of the box office...

Otherwise, I won’t shoot.

Xing Baizhou had expected this.

Therefore, there was a special clause in the contract at that time: if the filming of the film was delayed due to the actor's personal reasons, the actor would have to pay three times the investor's salary as compensation.

Depp had not read the contract carefully before, but now that it was pointed out, he never mentioned changing the contract again.

But Xing Baizhou was not too picky, so he still gave him a salary increase.

After all, it's a bit stingy to hire a popular Hollywood actor with little Karami's salary.

……

end of June.

Magic City.

"Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest", which audiences around the world are looking forward to, started filming at the Shanghai Film and Television Base in Shanghai.

Xing Baizhou, Depp, Miriam Leone, Orlando Bloom and others once again embark on a magical adventure.

Magic City TV Station came to a special report for this purpose: "The Black Pearl Sets Sail Again!"

The filming started from the day Xing Baizhou arrived in Shanghai to the end of the opening ceremony. The film crew followed him for a week.

It was finally edited into a three-minute video and broadcast on the entertainment channel.

It is enough to show the importance that Shanghai TV Station attaches to Xing Baizhou and "Pirates of the Caribbean 2".

The opening ceremony is over.

The crew officially entered shooting mode.

How relaxed Xing Baizhou is on weekdays, how attentive he is when shooting, without taking a break.

Almost none of the actors filming with him felt tired.

but.

No one has ever said a bad word about Director Xing.

This is tolerance for great directors...

If a director with no results was filming such a high-intensity movie without letting the actors rest, many people would probably criticize him.

But this matter would be very reasonable for a major international director.

People will also praise him as "he is really dedicated and worthy of being an international director."

Entering March, after filming for about half a month, Miriam Leone could hardly control her restless heart.

After breaking up with Xing Baizhou last time, I have never tasted the giantness of an oriental man again!

This time I came to Magic City.

She originally thought there would be a fierce battle with Director Xing on the first night.

After all, the car has been left in the garage for so long and will get rusty if not driven.

Leone seemed to be rusty now. He couldn't walk when he saw Xing Baizhou, and his body would feel numb even if he touched him.

Finally, that night, she found the opportunity.

Xing Baizhou went to the city to attend a drinking party and did not return to the hotel where the crew was staying.

She first made a call to confirm which hotel Xing Baizhou was staying in, and then someone took a taxi and came to his door.

"Dong dong dong..."

Director Xing, who was on the phone with Fan Xiaopang, heard someone knocking on the door and thought it was Ning Hao.

When he opened the door, he found Leone.

at this time.

The Italian supermodel standing at the door made Xing Baizhou's heart skip a beat.

She was wearing a brown long windbreaker tonight, a white crew-neck shirt on her upper body, a pair of light-colored loose denim trousers on her legs, and black and white Converse sneakers under her fair ankles.

This simple and casual outfit made Xing Baizhou's eyes shine.

He was used to seeing her in hip-hugging skirts before, but now, the girly aura exuding from her body made him very attracted to her.

Leone's skin is too white, and he is also a very eye-catching group among white women.

Under the illumination of the light, her face, neck, collarbone, and even ankles were so white that they glowed.

She is 19 years old and looks very attractive all over.

Even wearing sneakers, he is 175cm tall.

Her swollen little breasts were restless under the windbreaker, waiting for Xing Baizhou to pick them.

Looking up and down at the tall girl who came to the door, Xing Baizhou smiled and pulled her into the room.

The two of them kissed passionately without saying a word.

After four or five minutes of kissing, Leone was breathing heavily.

Xing Baizhou's actions satisfied the Italian beauty more and more.

……

……

After a long time.

The two of them came out of the bathroom after taking a shower without any clothes on.

Both of them have great figures, with waistcoat lines, mermaid lines, abdominal muscles, long legs... They suddenly wanted to comment on each other.

While commenting, Leone discovered Xing Baizhou's abnormality. He covered his mouth and smiled sweetly. He even started playing peek-a-boo...

Xing Baizhou caught her and gave her a harsh lesson.

It wasn't until late at night that the two of them fell asleep.

The next day.

The two appeared on the set together. Although everyone was surprised, they didn't say anything.

How can a talented man and a beautiful woman be opposed by you, a monster?

After being nourished, Leone felt much better and worked very hard while filming.

The filming lasted three more days.

The crew rushed to Zhoushan overnight.

The next day we continued shooting non-stop.

Because the second part required a lot of special effects shots, many scenes were completed in Hollywood studios.

because.

I don’t have much time to shoot in the country.

End of March.

After a month of filming, the crew finished filming the pre-planned scenes and began to head to Hollywood.

Xing Baizhou and Ning Hao, however, returned to the capital first.

Mouse will stay in Beijing to prepare for "Crazy Momentum" and will not go to Hollywood with him.

And it wouldn't work without an assistant by his side.

So, I wanted to go back and find an assistant.

On the plane, Xing Baizhou met a familiar stewardess, but he didn't know where he had seen her before.

But the stewardess recognized him at a glance and ran to him excitedly: "Ah, ah, it's Director Xing, you are so handsome, what a coincidence... I met Sun Li from your company on the plane last time, no. To think that I met you just over 2 months ago."

Xing Baizhou laughed and said: "Sun Li? How do you know her?"

While chatting, he remembered who this exotic stewardess was.
