Zhang Kui didn't expect that he would be really selected. When he learned the news, he was stunned.

You should know that this opportunity is a very good opportunity for emerging directors like them. It can play blockbusters and is a very good exercise for them. Although no director should have the right, it is enough for them.

In the past, when he was filming some small costs, although he had certain rights, he had to suffer even more unbearable things.

After finally coming to his senses, he heard the other party on the phone asking him if he had any questions, and he quickly answered that there was no problem.

When the roommate came back, he was stunned when he saw Zhang Kui so excited, and then asked, "What happened to you? Why are you so happy?"

This roommate is not an insider, but Zhang Kui's high school classmate. After graduating from university, he worked hard in the capital, and the two reconnected again. They didn't have much money, so they shared the rent together.

"Didn't I go to interview the director of Xu Shi Film yesterday? I succeeded and I was selected." Zhang Kui said excitedly.

Ma Ming said unexpectedly: "Last time, I heard you have no right to speak in Xu Shi's movies. Is such a director boring? Why are you so excited now?"

Zhang Kui touched his head awkwardly and said, "Didn't I be a little envious and jealous last time? In fact, such an opportunity is indeed the case for famous directors or qualified directors, but it is a very good opportunity for us new directors."

"Forget it, whatever you want, remember to ask me for a signature photo of Xu Shi when the time comes." Ma Ming said indifferently.

"Okay, I'll cover it with me. By the way, let's go and celebrate and I'll treat you." Zhang Kui's excitement still didn't recover.

Ma Ming glanced at him and said, "Celebration? Brother, do you have money? Don't you know what we are poor now? Or did Xu Shi pay you a salary in advance?"

After he said this, Zhang Kui calmed down. There was no way, no money was the weakness.

Then he gritted his teeth and said, "It's okay, I'll go to the crew anyway. I don't have any money to eat. I'll talk about it today and spend as much as 500 yuan!"

"Okay, then do it like that." Ma Ming was also happy. In fact, five hundred yuan is not much for their salary, after all, this is the capital.

But it is precisely because of this that most of their salary is given to the landlord, and they are reluctant to spend every penny they save.

But Zhang Kui forgot one thing, that is, the crew didn’t start so quickly!

................

Xu Shi was dealing with the company's affairs while improving the script with Wang Feiyun and others. It was soon late August.

Just as Xu Shi was about to hold an investment meeting, another good news came.

The box office of "One Man's Martial Arts" overseas was far beyond his expectations, and it was as high as 100 million US dollars.

This was something he never expected, or that no one expected.

Because the recognition of Chinese films abroad has never been very high, few movies can have high box offices. Is the box office worth 100 million US dollars high?

It is said that it is high or not, but it is already very high for domestic movies, especially this is a movie that focuses on Chinese martial arts. It is difficult for people who do not understand Chinese culture to understand.

Originally, everyone expected that it would be almost 10 million to 20 million US dollars, or 100 million rmb.

But no one expected that the overseas box office would be so high.

Xu Shi's first reaction was not to be happy, but to frown and think. He knew that the box office of the movie was not so clean and simple. If the inside story was complicated, it would be so complicated that everyone would have a headache.

He is novices in the movie now, and he knows a lot, so his first reaction is that someone uses his movie to launder money.

When Xu Mei saw Xu Shi frowning, she realized that the things inside might not be as simple as she thought. She immediately asked, "Is something wrong?"

Xu Shi shook his head and said, "I don't know for the time being, but I'll help me check the accounts later and check if there are any problems."

"OK."

Xu Shi took out the phone and called Yu Liao, the person in charge of Yumi. He did not go around the corner and said directly: "Is the overseas income of "One Man's Martial Arts" real?"

"Haha, Mr. Xu also knows? I was just about to announce the good news to you. Congratulations. Mr. Xu has initially gained popularity abroad." Yu Liao congratulated him on the other side. He didn't hear Xu Shi's tone was not so excited.

Xu Shi took a deep breath and asked again: "Are all overseas income real?"

This time, Yu Liao heard something wrong with Xu Shi's tone. He was also a human being. He instantly understood what Xu Shi said and hurriedly said: "It's true. This cannot be fake. And even if you want to launder money, you will use movies that others invest in. We need to share the money for us with our movies. No one can do such a stupid thing."

After hearing what he said, Xu Shi suddenly slapped his forehead. He heard such a high box office and subconsciously thought that someone was laundering money. After all, such things are not new now. Not to mention people in the circle, even some people outside the circle know a little.

But if you think about it carefully, if you really launder money, you won’t use your own movies. After all, this is a share of your own money.

But he was still a little worried. After all, his overseas box office share was not the same as in China, and it was not a lot. If someone really made up his mind, it would not be impossible.

"Really? You didn't lie to me? Then why did the box office be so high?" Xu Shi asked.

"Mr. Xu, how dare I lie to you? Our corn has always been a law-abiding company and will never do these things. If you ask in the circle, we corn has absolutely nothing like that.

And I have checked your question. It seems that such a high box office seems to have something to do with Mr. Xu." Yu Liao said at the end of his tone.

"It has something to do with me?" Xu Shi was stunned. What does it have to do with him? His fame has already become influential overseas? Why don't he know?

"Don't Mr. Xu know? The news I got was that when it was released overseas, there were many well-known figures helping to promote it, all of them were old Chinese.

Especially in Southeast Asia, the box office is so high because of their publicity and some conveniences.

And I also heard that there was a message coming from there, and next time it was your movie and the action movie was made, they would provide convenience." Yu Liao said what he knew.

Originally, he thought Xu Shi had something to do with him, but now it seems that this is not the case. If this were the case, Xu Shi would not call him directly to question him.

Xu Shi was really stunned this time. He never expected that this was the case. What happened?

How could such a thing happen if I have never been abroad in my life, nor have I ever had relatives overseas?

He suddenly thought of something. He seemed to have heard from his master that many of his old friends went abroad when they were young, and it seemed that there were many in Southeast Asia.

When I was learning hundreds of martial arts, my master was a little sad whenever he talked about this.

But then Xu Shi forgot these things, after all, it was just a few words from the master.

And after all, the master has passed away for a long time and he has never seen these people before. How could he help him for no reason?

Just as Xu Shi was in deep thought, Yu Liao asked over there, "Mr. Xu, are you listening?"

"Well, sorry, I was a little distracted just now. By the way, do you have their contact information?" Xu Shi asked.

"I have this, and I've also asked for some contacts. But Mr. Xu, you'd better visit me in person, after all, it's been so helpful to us." Yu Liao reminded.

Xu Shi nodded and said, "I know, you can give me the contact information first."

Afterwards, the two chatted for a few times and hung up the phone, Yu Liao started to evaluate Xu Shi again.

They were originally optimistic about Xu Shi, but now that they have such a relationship, they need to make friends even more.

He has decided that when Xu Shixin's film starts filming, he must invest more, and the release of the film must be in his hands, whether it is domestic or overseas.

"How is it?" Xu Mei asked worriedly when she saw Xu Shi frowned.

Xu Shi shook his head and said, "It must be because I'm thinking too much."

Then he said his guess and Yu Liao's words. Xu Mei was relieved after hearing this and said, "You scared me to death, I thought it was something."

You are really thinking too much about this. I have been doing finance for so many years and I still have some understanding of this aspect. No one will be foolish to give you money.

Even if you use some stupid methods, it will be much better than laundering money in your movies."

After hearing Xu Mei say this, Xu Shi finally let go of the last bit of worry in his heart. Then he thought of Yu Liao's words again. Who was helping him?

After thinking for a long time, Xu Shi didn't expect that, then he put it down and talked to Xu Mei about the company.

Xu Mei is much more motivated now than before. Although this is not her company, it is her younger brother's company. She just like her own company and is full of energy every day.

Now she is not only in charge of financial affairs, but also in charge of other matters.

Xu Shi has not found a suitable general manager until now, so everything is left to the elder sister for management. Not to mention, the elder sister is really well-organized.

A few days ago, Gao Haiqiang came to admit his mistake. Although Xu Mei made up with her son, she had no intention of going back. She now wants to be a strong woman and no longer care about her old mother.

Even his son didn't care about his wedding and looked completely let go, which made Gao Haiqiang feel nervous for a while, thinking that his mother was still angry.

After Xu Shi's repeated explanations, Gao Haiqiang finally felt relieved.

The wedding was mainly organized by my brother-in-law and the woman, and the elder sister was completely liberated.

The woman not only had no complaints about this, but was happy to see it happening.

No one is short of money. Their family has only one daughter. They are too happy to join in the business of holding their daughter’s wedding.

As for Xu Mei's resignation, they had no objection, because they all knew that their daughter had a good relationship with this mother-in-law, and sometimes they made the two of them a little jealous.

After chatting with Xu Mei for a while, Xu Shi was about to leave. He kept this matter in his heart for the time being and went to Southeast Asia to see the situation by himself.

He is really busy now. Although Xu Mei helps him manage the company, he needs to make a lot of things himself. Moreover, Xu Mei is not very familiar with movies after all. Although she has been studying hard, the time is relatively short and the effect is not obvious.

Just as Xu Shi walked to the second floor, he suddenly saw Song Liwu. An inspiration flashed through his mind, and he thought of someone.

Master Song!

Master Song should know almost all the people he knows, and there are other martial arts seniors, who should also know some people who also practice martial arts there.

Could it be that Master Song and others are helping him?

Xu Shi really couldn't imagine anyone else except them.

"Senior Brother Song, how are you doing recently?" Xu Shi asked with a smile.

Song Liwu was in a hurry at this moment, but he was not impatient. Obviously, his recent work and life satisfy him.

Song Liwu grinned and said, "Junior Brother Xu, I'm very good now. Last month I just received a job to work as an action supervisor in a martial arts TV series. My salary and benefits are pretty good.

This time I came back just to find two people to help me. I was really too busy to do it alone.”

Xu Shixiao said, "Senior Brother Song, you are competing with me for people. I also need to use people recently."

"I know this, don't worry, I'll only be in a few days, and I'll come back after I finish my work." Song Liwu said.

Xu Shi nodded, no longer tangled about this issue, and changed the subject and said, "By the way, how is Master Song now? Are you okay?"

Speaking of Master Song, a happy smile appeared on Song Liwu's face.

"Haha, I forgot to tell you if you don't mention this, my master has lived a very relaxed life during this period. Last month, he took his master's wife to travel abroad, saying that he was meeting some old friends.

When people get old, they start to miss their old friends. It seems that more than just my master’s wife, many people have gone with them." Song Liwu said and laughed happily. Obviously, he was very happy that his master’s wife could go out for a trip and relax.

"When I get old, I will also take my wife out for a good trip." Song Liwu began to imagine the future.

Xu Shi knew it in his heart and smiled and said, "Why wait for old age? Wouldn't it be better to go while you are still young? I'll give you a holiday after a while, and you will take your sister-in-law and children to travel together."

"Not now. The company is short of staff now, and I want to save some money to attend a good school for my child. It would be even better if I could settle down in the capital at that time." Song Liwu said as he began to reminisce about it.

Xu Shi was not disturbing him, and walked away silently. He had guessed it in his heart. If he was right, it would be Master Song and others who were silently helping him.
