Director Xu Xiancheng has always been a subtle critic in the circle. He does have extraordinary creativity, but he always likes to express artistic opinions. He even criticized his wife Xie Zhaoyan's play, thinking that she has also acted in bad movies. Chu Xiaxing, Wang Fengtian and others would scolded Director Xu from time to time, but they could not get used to his character occasionally, but he really had a straight-talking temperament, which really made people lose their temper.
It can only be said that artists have some minor problems, which are a little annoying, but not harmful.
Therefore, whether or not everyone knew about the "Nonsensical New Movie" incident, they were all interested in "Thunder Gun Saint" mentioned by Director Xu, and couldn't wait to go to the cinema to see it. This undoubtedly stimulates the movie box office. No matter how the audience praises or criticizes the finished film, they at least have to buy a ticket to watch the movie before discussing it.
The box office of "Thunder Gun Saint" also lived up to expectations, with a box office of 220 million on the first day, and a box office of over 3 billion on the tenth day of its release. It has become one of the most talked about works recently, and it has made a lot of money.
With the popularity of the domestic market, a large number of spiritual shareholders have also emerged on the Internet, and they are watching the changes in the box office of the movie every day. No one thought that the box office of "Gun Saint" was so high. According to this momentum, it is very likely to rush into the top 100 global movie box office. The rest depends on whether the overseas market can be strong. It is true that domestic movies can compete with Hollywood blockbusters. Many, filmmakers still have a long way to go.
Of course, no matter what the final box office figures of "The Thunder Spear" were, Chu Xiaxing had already succeeded in making a name for himself.
If the movie "Wu Dao" can still be attributed to the excellent script, then "Thunder Gun Saint" is undoubtedly the work that Chu Xiaxing contributed more. Science fiction movies are the subject of a very high domestic hit rate. In addition, the actor Qiao Zhansi has no works, and the heavyweight supporting role is not much. Chu Xiaxing's directing ability and the excellent special effects team are very important.
Everyone had to admit that Director Xu's judgment was right. Chu Xiaxing was indeed a very talented young director, and he seemed to have a promising future, which made people look forward to her next work.
"Thunder Gun Saint" will also be released in overseas markets, and the crew will naturally promote it abroad.
Backstage at the overseas promotion conference, Xie Zhaoyan read the English press release, and she shared amusingly: "Someone said on the Internet that you surpassed Chu Xiaxing in "Blood Sky", how does it feel to be trampled by yourself?"
Chu Xiaxing and Chu Xiaxin have similar names, so they will inevitably be compared together, which makes Xie Zhaoyan, who knows the truth, amused.
Chu Xiaxing: "If you're talking about the box office, it's definitely surpassed. It can only be said that the times are getting better and better."
When Chu Xiaxing made a movie in her last life, the domestic movie market was not that big, and she really didn't have a movie with a box office of billions. The audience at that time was quite limited.
Xie Zhaoyan: "It means that you became famous earlier, even younger than the double director."
Press releases love to promote talented directors, who are keen to portray young, famous, and brilliant talents, as if only the radiant and unblemished are worth writing about.
Chu Xiaxing: "What is there to surpass? It can only be said that I have better luck in my life."
In the film and television industry, it is the norm to go through qualifications step by step. Chu Xiaxing knew very well that this time he had met a reliable partner, otherwise it would never have been so smooth. In the previous life, she kept producing works, so that she could gradually gain a firm foothold, and be as smooth as Xu Xiancheng and herself in this life. She is definitely called the lucky one in the circle.
Xie Zhaoyan glanced up and down at the young Director Chu, and she muttered: "It's really good luck, and it's really enviable to be young. If I could be like you, I wouldn't be filming, it would be great to play around. "
Chu Xiaxing gave her a sideways look: "Didn't you play around abroad a few years ago? Besides, I have a different personality than you, so I don't think it's any fun."
Xie Zhaoyan tutted: "I originally thought that if you were a man, maybe we could get along, but now I feel that you are less interesting than Lao Xu."
Chu Xiaxing: "Actually, gender doesn't matter."
Xie Zhaoyan was taken aback: "You are implying me..."
Chu Xiaxing: "But I don't want to live with you. It's okay to look at your face, but you have a bad temper."
To be honest, Chu Xiaxing and Xie Zhaoyan had no problem being friends, but when she thought of the two of them living together, she felt a headache. She is not as soft-hearted as Director Xu in life, and it is estimated that she will be in a ball with the actress soon.
Xie Zhaoyan: "?"
After Xie Zhaoyan heard her scumbag remarks, she suddenly said in disbelief, "...You still dare to dislike me?"
"Director Chu, Teacher Xie, it's time for us to take the stage."
Xie Zhaoyan was about to settle accounts with Chu Xiaxing, and was about to fight with her friend on the spot, but was interrupted by the staff outside. She immediately resumed her dignified business appearance, but just glared at Chu Xiaxing, as if she was still keeping a small account in her heart.
The problems of overseas interviews mainly revolve around Xie Zhaoyan. After all, she is an international actress and is well-known outside. Chu Xiaxing and Qiao Zhansi were asked less frequently, and their influence had not yet radiated to the world, so the topics they were asked were quite conventional.
Under the stage were all the media holding machines, and the lighting on the stage was too sufficient, so Chu Xiaxing and the others couldn't see the situation in the auditorium clearly. They could only listen carefully to the interpreter's narration, and then answer the questions in Chinese. They didn't know where to look, and they didn't find the Asian man under the stage.
The oriental-looking man was dressed as a reporter. He wore a hat and hung a press card. He successfully infiltrated the media, but he didn't ask any questions during the whole process. He just stared at Qiao Zhans on the stage.
After a while, someone suddenly squeezed into the media, and he grabbed the wrist of the oriental-looking man with one hand. The other party originally wanted to dodge flexibly, but after seeing the appearance of the person who came, he was stunned, and finally chose to follow him away.
In the corner not far from the publicity meeting, two men argued in Chinese, and the man later jumped into a rage: "Who asked you to come here!?"
"I came to see my son."
"You're not his father now, you better figure this out, you should know who you are!"
"I'm just playing Duan Hui, it doesn't mean I'm him, you better understand this." The man dressed as a reporter pursed his lips slightly displeased, "Didn't you say my son is still alive?"
Father Qiao has a peculiar talent. He is very good at imitating other people's images. At the same time, he can infer the adult appearance from the facial features of children. He is quite successful in recognizing and imitating. He just inadvertently saw the image of Qiao Zhansi, and he was sure that the other party was definitely his own child.
Father Qiao has been wandering overseas. His identity prevents him from contacting his relatives. Fortunately, he has a normal relationship with his family, but as a parent, his love for his children cannot be restrained. He didn't expect that Qiao Zhansi was still living in China, and thinking about his poor family environment, he suddenly realized that his son's situation was by no means good, and he felt even more guilty.
Once a person becomes a parent again at an old age, he will let go of many obsessions in his youth and only hope that the next generation will be well.
"Since you have already taken money to do things, I hope you have some professionalism. Is your life not good now? You live a life that many people envy, do you really plan to go to jail!?"
Father Qiao asked coldly: "So I can't even have the feelings of a normal person? What if I go to jail? At least I can see him again."
The man didn't expect the other party to say this, he felt bad, and quickly slowed down: "Don't talk stupid, is that just a matter of going to jail? And you didn't see it all this time, and we didn't care about you. Flying over, you clearly know how big the risk is..."
Father Qiao fell into silence. His absconding overseas life was like an unexploded thunder. It was easy to hide in the early years, but in recent years, it has become more and more dangerous.
"I'll accompany you back for one last look, and then we'll leave soon? He's a movie star now, so it's impossible for him to have a bad life." The man reassured him, but he didn't dare to provoke Father Qiao. Putting it here, it is indeed more and more scruples.
Father Qiao finally turned around to check with the man. He knew that Qiao Zhansi would have no chance after returning to China, so he really took a look.
On the stage, his son has become so good, but he is like a mouse in the sewer, and he is ashamed to mention his name in front of the other party.
After the crew's overseas publicity trip, the domestic and foreign box office of "Thunder Gun Saint" successfully broke into the top 100 films in the world, and Chu Xiaxing, who returned to China, also received new information from President Song.
In the Fan Ke Film Industry, Chu Xiaxing took out the information in the bag. When she saw the "Yanchuan Film and Television City" on the document, her heart jumped slightly, and she had a feeling of deja vu. She seemed to have seen similar materials before, and she naturally had the illusion of dreaming back to her previous life, and she was filled with emotion.
"Mr. Song is really a capitalist who exploits people non-stop." Chu Xiaxing used ridicule to cover up her absentmindedness. Her acting skills have always been superb, and she did not show her inner turmoil.
Song Wenye said in a friendly manner, "Because I can finally show Director Chu this material formally, I'm a little bit anxious. Isn't this because I'm afraid the director will raise the price?"
Although Song Wenye had mentioned Yanchuan Film and Television City before, Chu Xiaxing was not qualified to discuss it in detail at that time, and her works and influence were not enough. Now that she can get internal information, it means that her achievements are recognized, at least on par with veteran directors.
Chu Xiaxing smiled and said, "Mr. Song should know my rules, but I won't move without seeing the contract."
Song Wenye: "Of course, but if you want to trouble Director Chu to find time to meet with Duan Dong, you may need to..."
Before Song Wenye could finish speaking, the phone beside the data suddenly rang. He looked down at the caller ID and looked at Chu Xiaxing apologetically, as if he had to answer the call.
Chu Xiaxing didn't make a sound, she extended her hand generously, implying that he should answer the phone first.
Song Wenye apologetically got up and walked to the side of the conference room. Since it wasn't a call from work, he didn't go out to avoid him. He hesitated, "Hello, auntie?"
Song Wenye's sister-in-law is Duan Chengyan's mother.
Song Wenye was calm and steady before answering the phone, but after he hung up, he showed a trace of confusion and became lost. He hurriedly packed up the materials on the table and said embarrassedly: "Director Chu, I'm really sorry, there are some things at home, let's talk about it another day..."
"Ah, alright." Chu Xiaxing didn't mind, but seeing that his reaction was abnormal, and even the materials fell to the ground, she simply picked it up and asked with concern, "Is there anything wrong with your family? Who is sick?"
Song Wenye had never been so flustered before, Chu Xia Xingsi and Duan Dong were quite old, and naturally wondered if the situation had changed.
Song Wenye's head is now like a mess, like a machine that has always been exquisite suddenly shut down, and even feels extremely absurd in his heart. Facing Chu Xiaxing's question, he said in a hoarse voice, "I don't know if it's a problem or not..."
"My father seems to be still alive." Song Wenye was indeed a little stunned, which sounded like a blessing, but thinking about the other party's absence from his face for many years made his mood complicated.
Even though many people said that Duan Hui absconded overseas, Song Wenye never believed it, he only regarded it as a slander and smear of his father by outsiders. The current news has undoubtedly shattered his long-standing beliefs, and the things he believed in fell apart in an instant.
"Is this a problem, or is it okay?" Song Wenye really didn't have the ability to think now, he could only stare at Chu Xiaxing blankly, but he didn't know how to answer.
Chu Xiaxing looked at Song Wenye's hesitant expression, and suddenly flashed a small section of Yanchuan City in front of him. At that time, the little boy was also beside her in confusion. He couldn't see the road ahead completely in the dark night, and asked at a loss: "But where should I go?"
