In the afternoon, Xu Xin rushed to the opening ceremony stage set up in the city that never sleeps.

The weather in Xi'an today is very good. Although it is very hot, there is no need to worry about rain. Moreover, the opening ceremony and the closing ceremony are different. The closing ceremony is full of stars, there is a red carpet, photos are taken, and fans sign autographs, so it is scheduled to be held in Qujiang.

Center. However, the opening ceremony had more ZZ factors, and only leaders came, so it was not that attractive to fans.

At least Yang Mi will not be attending today.

She wanted to come, but after many considerations, the people who came today were all leaders of the organizers of this film festival.

Xu Xin can come, but he must come.

But she can't.

Even as a couple, it won't work for the time being.

And when he was busy until about three o'clock, he received a call from Qi Lei.

It brought a... expected, but also somewhat unexpected news.

"Director Xue Xiaolu is not short of funds for this film, but he hopes to designate a studio to invest in it. And the heroine has already been found, and it's Tang Wei."

Hearing this, Xu Xin, who was chatting with a few tourists and city management leaders in charge of this trip, put a bottle of mineral water in the creaking nest and stood up.

"I'll go out and make a phone call."

After politely greeting several leaders with a smile, he walked out of the temporary office directly.

In the corridor, volunteers from various government agencies, construction workers responsible for stage performances, etc. were very busy.

But when everyone saw him, they would nod politely, call "Director Xu", and then leave with Xu Xin nodding in return.

He remained silent. After leaving the temporary office area, he found a deserted corner and said:

"Did you mention our names directly?"

"Um."

Qi Lei responded:

"I didn't go to talk, it was Guohui and the others who went to talk. The budget for her film is actually 30 million. She has already prepared 15 million, and what's left is this

There was a shortfall of 15 million. When Guohui and the others met, they immediately revealed all their wealth. There was no shortage of money, but what was missing was money from our factory. Tang Wei and her are good friends..."

"Just like Li Yu and Sister Bingbing?"

"Yeah. I even talked about you specifically and said that Tang Wei really likes your directing style and hopes to cooperate more in the future. He also particularly likes the culture and spirit that our factory treats movies...according to Guohui himself.

, all we have to do is bring out the deed of sale and she sign it for Tang Wei."

"..."

While he was talking, Xu Xin kept holding a cigarette and thinking.

Finally came the sentence:

"Actually, when we were in Cannes, Lao Wang asked me about Tang Wei. My answer was that Li Yu took off her clothes and I could help her put them on, but I was too lazy to do it because there was no need."

"Then just ignore her. It's just a movie, so it won't make you so difficult."

Seeing Xu Xin repeating his attitude when he met Tang Wei in Cannes, Qi Lei simply made a decision.

Does Xiying Studio and Art Creation Center want Xue Xiaolu?

Definitely want to.

This is a director with a box office of over 100 million.

Although the market is now beginning to enter a period of prosperity, it is not uncommon for movies to have a box office of over 100 million yuan... Every year, there are always a lot of movies with a box office of over 100 million yuan on the box office rankings of Chinese-language movies.

But... the actual situation is that in 2010, among the imported Chinese films, there were only 26 films with a box office of over 100 million yuan.

How many movies were released in theaters in 2010?

Answer: 289.

These 289 films are films that have been clearly released in major domestic theaters and have been scheduled.

This also includes some gift films, which must be guaranteed to be admitted to theaters even if no one watches them.

There are 289 films, including imported films, and there are only 26 films with a box office of over 100 million yuan. Not even one tenth.

And if you exclude animated films such as "Xi Yang Yang", "Toy Story" and various Hollywood blockbusters that have suddenly become popular in the past two years, there are only 16 Chinese-language films with a box office of over 100 million.

This is data from 2010.

And what about 2009?

Part 242.

There are a total of 16 movies that have grossed over 100 million yuan.

There are 9 Chinese-language movies that have grossed over 100 million yuan.

It can be said that Chinese-language films are making progress every year.

Definitely.

But from a basic point of view, directors who can produce movies with a box office of over 100 million are still among the top group of people in the entire industry ecosystem.

The base number does not even exceed 5%, floating around 4%.

Xue Xiaolu is one of the 4%.

The best of the best.

This kind of director takes the initiative to come over with a project and says something rude... not a fool would accept it.

But the problem is...

Tang Wei...is this really necessary?

If Qi Lei were to choose, he would have no problem with it.

He stuffed himself into the actor troupe and told everyone that this person was guaranteed by Xiying Film Studio.

Let’s see what works come out in the future...

Put the meat into the pot first.

But after listening to Xu Xin's opinion that she was "tasteless"... he naturally understood what was more important.

Although at first glance this sounds a bit "pretending to benefit one's own interests".

But who gives him the right to speak?

But as soon as he said these words, Xu Xin stopped him:

"Don't be impulsive yet."

After saying this, his brows wrinkled slightly again.

Xue Xiaolu is actually not a threat.

It's more like a favor.

Obviously, the relationship between Tang Wei and her is really extraordinary.

As for Tang Wei...

"Is she among the invited guests this time?"

"No, there is no social interaction, and the invitation letter cannot be sent."

"...invite her."

"Is necessary?"

Qi Lei asked doubtfully:

"I actually don't like her approach. If you want to invest, just come to invest in an honest and aboveboard way, and ask someone to plead for a 15 million project. What does she want to do?"

"She has no other options."

Seeing that Qi Lei was in a mood, this time it was Xu Xin who took the initiative to enlighten him:

"Last time, she faced me directly, and I wasn't interested in her. Now if she wants to come, she won't be able to get through it if she doesn't have a reason. And... I thought about it, and it's actually difficult for her to act. The difficulty lies with the audience.

The difficulty with her inherent impression lies in her audience market...it’s really not easy to figure out.”

"Even Zhang Ziyi came here, so we don't want someone like her. Right? It has nothing to do with Xue Xiaolu's project. We can leave it to the big guys to decide whether to invest in this project. We can't make the decision on every movie, right?

As for Tang Wei... his attitude has become so low. If you want to come, then come."

In the end, Xu Xin made a decision.

"Be prepared with both hands, put one hand on the actor troupe and the other hand on the cloud map. Her acting skills are still reliable, but the plot is a bit tricky. If the right subject is given to her, she can perform 150%.

But if the subject matter is not suitable, it will only be in the 70s or 80s at best. She obviously understands her own strengths and weaknesses, and looking at it, we are indeed the only way out."

"Putting a cloud map?"

"Well, let's release the cloud map. Yang Ying, her, Zhang Ziyi... ha~"

Xu Xin let out a chuckle:

"Not to mention, these three people are quite bluffing. A new generation of popular celebrities, an older generation of international movie queens, and a literary goddess... There are no shortcomings in terms of actress resources."

"...Okay. Then I'll have someone send her an invitation letter and invite her to attend the award ceremony with Xue Xiaolu. Do you want to talk to her?"

"Farewell, come on. I'll talk to her and I'll definitely make a promise. There's no need. Sister Bingbing is more suitable than me for the casting troupe."
