Chapter 702 This Little Slut (asking for monthly tickets)

People in mainland China not only did not feel it was awkward for An Xiaoxi to play this role, but they were very appreciative of it.

It should be An Xiaoxi who plays this role!
If you find an ordinary little girl to play the leading female role, who would spend money to watch it?

If good-looking people can't work in this line of work, then half of the killer movies are dead. It's better to be a mediocre killer, preferably the kind that you can't even remember after meeting them.

If one-third of the bodyguards in bodyguard movies die, the bodyguards in real life are completely different from those in the movies.

The best bodyguard is the one with broad shoulders and a strong waist.

Some can even be called meat mountains. In addition to their great strength, they can also serve as meat shields.

Find a skinny handsome guy to be your bodyguard, unless he has another task, such as staying in bed with you.

As for style...

It’s not that mysterious.

Dark blue tones, dislocated shooting techniques, absurd and unreasonable stories, sharp and sarcastic black humor, and incredible audio-visual effects...

Add a bit of humanity and destiny, and it becomes the so-called "Du Galaxy style".

The concepts and characteristics of Du's films do cater to the realistic attitude and sense of life of Hong Kong people today.

Hong Kong people are obsessed with Du's style.

"Dark Flower", "Gunfire", "Exile" and so on all have this style.

Du's fans think that An Xiaoxi cannot fit into this style, so it would be better to just find a tool.

But most of the audiences in the mainland don’t know what the Du style is.

They all go there just for the movie, and as long as the movie is good they will buy it.

An Xiaoxi's fans particularly think that her appearance in this movie is outstanding.

She appeared with short hair, wearing a gray windbreaker and headphones. She was so pleasing to the eyes [Note 1].

It turns out that our Xixi has this side.

It is different from many of her previous roles and embodies another kind of dashing beauty.

Even though a small number of people think that it might be better to change the female lead, it does not prevent mainland movie fans from strongly recommending "Tracking".

The box office on the first day was over three million, basically all because of An Xiaoxi's attendance.

If everyone feels disappointed and cheated, the box office may be halved the next day.

But the box office on the second day was over five million.

Firstly, it’s because it’s Saturday and the box office is always higher on weekends, and secondly, it’s because the word of mouth for the movie is not bad at all.

The box office in the first week will exceed 10 million, and the total box office will be at least 20 million.

At least it shows that if An Xiaoxi plays the leading female role and the quality of the movie is not particularly bad, she can still carry some box office revenue.

If she is just a supporting role, it would be a bit too much to expect her to carry the box office.

It happened that "Bullfight" was released one and a half months ago.

"Tracking" is the perfect follow-up to it.

"Bullfighting" was originally scheduled for a month, and when the box office was full for a month, the total box office was 3700 million.

Since there were no particularly good movies in the same period, this movie still had a certain attendance rate. According to the requirements of the theaters, the film company postponed its release for another half a month.

Cinemas also need to make money.

When movies are shown there, electricity, venue, copies, labor, etc. all cost money.

Instead of scheduling a film with a shockingly low attendance rate, it would be better to schedule it for "Bullfighting".

After being extended for half a month, the box office barely reached 4000 million.

The cost was 800 million, the box office was 4000 million, and there was 1140 million US dollars for overseas copyright - that is, million RMB.

Other income includes revenue from discs, TV stations, etc.

The total revenue after deducting costs and various taxes and fees is close to 2000 million.

Heidou Media owns 30% of this movie, and can get about 600 million.

Guangxian Media had a revenue of 1400, but they spent extra money to hold a celebration banquet, invited a large number of media, and distributed red envelopes of one or two million.

Part of the expenses for going to Cannes were also paid for by them.

The most important thing is that he gave Hao Yun a big red envelope of 5 million yuan.

But no matter how much they spent, they made money investing in this movie.

Gaining both fame and fortune would make you laugh even in your dreams.

Now the same is true for Tracking.

The production cost was 1000 million Hong Kong dollars, and advertising placements worth 160 million Hong Kong dollars were sold before the film was released. The box office in Hong Kong will probably reach million Hong Kong dollars, and in mainland China it will be almost million RMB. Not only will it not break even, it may even make a small profit.

Especially Hao Yun and An Xiaoxi, who used 4 million Hong Kong dollars to get half of the mainland's film revenue. It would be no problem for them to make 3 to 5 million.

The fact that two consecutive films did not lose money made the filming of "20 Again" much smoother.

But when he heard Wei Zongwan say that An Xiaoxi would marry him after she came back, Hao Yun still had the urge to kill this wretched old man.

The scene was unimaginable.

I can only comfort her by telling her that I wrote the script myself.

Hao Yun's latest work is to reinterpret old songs.

Music occupies a large part of this movie. The heroine has a good voice and she likes to cover old songs in her own way.

Hao Yun needs to select suitable old songs for adaptation.

This seems difficult for him, but in fact it is not easy at all. After all, the adapted song cannot sound too bad, and it must give people a refreshing feeling.

For other music, Hao Yun plans to choose from his own albums, such as "Ten Miles of Spring Breeze" and "The Brightest Star in the Night Sky".

Hao Yun, Chen Guanxi, and An Xiaoxi are all singers, and the thing they have the most is songs.

On the other hand, the scene was filmed smoothly.

They started filming the scene where Wei Zongwan's daughter saw Wei Zongwan and An Xiaoxi checking their foot injuries, and then suspected that the girl had defrauded her father of his pension, and kicked An Xiaoxi out of the house.

Wei Zongwan's daughter is played by Liu Lin.

She also graduated from the Beijing Film Academy. Although she has started to play the leading role in TV dramas, she can often only get small supporting roles in movies.

He entered the cast of "20 Again" through audition and his acting skills were very good.

"You are really blinded by lard."

"Oh my god, oh my god, this little slut~"

"She is a fairy~"

"Oh my God!"

She improvised a few lines on her own, and Hao Yun thought they were good and let her use them.

I just think it's quite interesting to call An Xiaoxi a little slut.

This was probably the first time An Xiaoxi was scolded like this.

It's quite fulfilling.

In mid-July, Hao Yun and An Xiaoxi left the crew to attend the "International Animal and Nature Film Screening" held in Ya'an - the "First China Ya'an International Panda Animal and Nature Film Week" event.

This day marks the first anniversary of the successful application of Sichuan Giant Panda Habitat for World Natural Heritage, and is also Ya'an Ecological Day.

Because Hao Yun and An Xiaoxi have a panda, it is hard to refuse such an activity.

In addition to the head of UNESCO and radio and television leaders, the visitors also included the French ambassador, the French cultural and film counselor, and many French film and television celebrities.

Many film and television culture professionals in France are more familiar with Hao Yun than any other star.

After all, Hao Yun won two awards in Cannes.

Hao Yun and An Xiaoxi both speak French.

An Xiaoxi's father is still working in France.

The two attended the event and also promoted the movie "Tracking".

Therefore, the leading actors of "Tracking" were invited to attend with them, adding a lot of color to the "Animal and Nature Film Week".

This is the first time this event is held, so it is difficult to invite big names.

There are only dozens of them in total, and the most famous ones are probably Liu Tao, Zhou Xun, Chen Kun and others.

As for Lv Liping and Sun Haiying, they are both keen on participating in exchanges with foreign countries and are willing to contribute money to them. It seems that they will go abroad sooner or later.

In the morning, everyone went to plant trees for the giant pandas.

Unlike others who were just posing for the sake of expression, An Xiaoxi held the saplings while Hao Yun worked hard to bury the soil in them, and actually planted dozens of trees.

Friends who often bury corpses know that digging a hole and burying the soil is physical work.

Being able to plant dozens of trees in one go is enough to show that Hao Yun has good physical strength and is not weak at all.

On the red carpet in the afternoon, An Xiaoxi did not wear a dress—not wearing a dress does not mean she had no clothes on.

She wore a black and white dotted T-shirt and a panda ear hairpin. If she were rounder, she would look like a panda.

Hao Yun was much more normal than her, wearing black and white striped shorts and a short jacket.

Both of them were wearing fashionable panda style.

Note 1: Han Hyo Joo, the heroine of the Korean version of "Tracking", is also a beauty. The Hong Kong version is indeed a bit ugly.
