This man knows how to hype

Chapter 315 Healing Movie
"It is reported that after only 10 days of release, the box office of "Dying to Survive" has exceeded 30 billion yuan, breaking many mainland film history records..."

The sound from the mobile phone speaker continued to come out. Wu Youjin, who was holding the mobile phone, heard the box office figures and unconsciously increased the strength of holding the phone.

He was so envious that he almost went crazy. He had been in the industry for so many years, but the movies he had produced had grossed over 10 billion in 30 days, and the highest grossing movie was only over 10 billion.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but curse in his heart: With his family property, the mainland box office sets a record every year, why can't the record be broken by his own movie?
At this time, 8 days had passed since he and Xu Xiyu discussed cooperation.

He didn't contact Xu Xiyu again for 8 days.

But he didn't contact them, but there were people who did.

Just as he was feeling envious and jealous, the secretary pushed the door open and said, "I found out that Four-Eyed Ancestor did meet Xu Xiyu several times these days.

It is said that a preliminary cooperation intention has been reached. Not only that, he recently brought people from Taiwan to Beijing to talk to Xu Xiyu about cooperation.

The Four-Eyed Ancestor mentioned by the secretary is Jiahe’s boss Cheng Guangzu. He wears glasses, so people call him Four-Eyed Ancestor.

Therefore, when Wu Youjin heard that Cheng Guangzu and Xu Xiyu had reached a cooperation intention, he instinctively said, "You bastard, you are so impatient, you might as well lose everything."

After cursing, he asked again: "Have you found out what the content of the cooperation is?"

"There's really no way to find out." The secretary shook his head.

"Xu Xiyu has no grudges against us in the past, nor any enmity between us recently. He doesn't seem to have any friendship with that dead four-eyes guy either, so he shouldn't have two sets of excuses, right?" Wu Youjin said thoughtfully.

"You mean, Four-Eyed Ancestor is very likely pretending to be stupid and agreed to Xu Xiyu's nonsense about making a Hong Kong movie?" the secretary asked curiously.

"That should be the case. Maybe he and I had the same idea and planned to take advantage of the situation and do a favor. But the question is, what are the people from Taiwen going to do there?" Wu Youjin asked in confusion.

"Is it possible that Four-Eyed Ancestor wants to find a sucker to help him pay? What if Xu Xiyu really thinks he is good enough and wants to make a Hong Kong-style movie?" The secretary made a guess.

When Wu Youjin heard this, he felt that there was some truth in it.

So, he smiled and said, "It's not impossible. No wonder Master Mai said that he is about to enter the next great limit. It is the time to change his fortune. If he behaves so recklessly, there is a high probability that something will go wrong."

"It's natural to be proud of yourself when you become famous at a young age. If everyone was as wise as you, there wouldn't be so much chaos in this world." The secretary flattered him at the right time.

In response to him, Wu Youjin laughed heartily.

Also laughing were the main creators of "Dying to Survive", who had just finished recording a variety show and were removing their makeup backstage.

The box office has already surpassed the 30 billion mark, and it will soon break the record of 33.51 billion held by "Huasheng Stew Shop".

How can I not be happy?
Now, everyone is looking forward to what the total box office will be after the movie is released after a month of theatrical release.

"I guess, it must be 35 billion." Xu Fengchun smiled so hard that his teeth were showing. There are still 20 days left in the release period, and he thinks the box office should be 5 million.

It may be a bit difficult to exceed 5 million. After all, the box office boom period has passed, and the daily box office is declining. By the end of the period, it is considered good to have million a day.

Meng Chengming was more optimistic than him and said directly: "I think it's 36 billion."

"You are too conservative. Let me tell you a number: 80 billion!" Director Bai Zhengshan saw them guessing the box office and joined in with a smile.

Of course, because the number he said was too outrageous, the box office guessing activity directly turned into an "auction", and it didn't take long for the number to reach "200 billion".

Different from the excitement and excitement of these people, Lu Qinyao, who was sitting in front of the mirror in the corner removing her makeup, was a little absent-minded.

Since Xu Xiyu went to Pengcheng in advance 9 days ago, he has not participated in the subsequent roadshow.

In other words, the two never saw each other again from that day on.

Xu Xiyu said on the phone that he was going to Beijing to deal with a new project. But Lu Qinyao inexplicably felt that he was avoiding her.

This made her feel a little lost which she couldn't help but feel.

To be honest, when she was with Xu Xiyu, she had been very careful to hide her desire to have a child.

As a girlfriend, she knew Xu Xiyu's "sensitivity" better than anyone else. If she showed any "flaws", Xu Xiyu might guess what she was thinking very quickly.

She didn't want Xu Xiyu to guess it, because she thought that once Xu Xiyu knew her feelings, the relationship between the two would most likely come to an end.

In the entertainment industry, many people are separated in this way.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but sigh again, as if a stone was pressing on her heart.

On the other side, Xu Xiyu was also in a heavy mood.

He was indeed avoiding Lu Qinyao because he didn't know how to face her for a moment, or rather, he didn't know how to face the topic of "having children".

But he is also really working on new projects.

In 8 days, he communicated with some colleagues in Hong Kong, Taiwan and the Mainland.

This time, he plans to appear in three movies. The first one is the famous high-grossing comedy "The Richest Man in Xihong City".

Taiwen Films plans to invest 10% in this film. The three private companies, Manda, Guangying, and Bona Film Group, as well as China Film Group, plan to invest 10% each. The remaining 30% will go to Huaqing, Xiaotaizhi and Xu Xiyu, each with 10%.

The purpose of dividing the cake this way is to allow Lu Qinyao to win awards both in the Mainland and in Taiwan.

The second movie is naturally "Infernal Affairs".

Jiahe accounts for 25%, Yongsheng accounts for 15%, Huaqing accounts for 30%, Xiaotaizhi and Xu Xiyu account for 15% respectively. The purpose of this vote is to let Lv Qinyao win the award in Hong Kong.

It can be said that Xu Xiyu put a lot of thought into giving Lu Qinyao a "super sense of ceremony".

Now, we just have to wait for the book to be written and the project to start.

But Xu Xiyu hesitated about the third film "The Disciples" that was originally scheduled.

The reason for his hesitation was that he learned another piece of news from Gong Lingyun.

"You mean, Qin Yao had nightmares for a long time after being scolded by Chen Jing?" Xu Xiyu's brows were tightly furrowed.

"Yes." Gong Lingyun nodded.

Then he emphasized: "Don't think she has a poor ability to withstand pressure, and don't think she is making a fuss. Over the years, many people have scolded her online, and some of them have scolded her more harshly, but she has never taken it seriously.

But this time it is really different. Firstly, in order to perform well in "Dying to Survive", she may have been a little too immersed in the role.

Secondly, you are still young and may not understand the pressures from family and age that she is under. Chen Jing's words were just a trigger."

"I understand." Xu Xiyu nodded, and then asked, "Have you contacted her these days? Is she doing well?"

"It looks normal, but only she knows whether it is normal or not." Gong Lingyun said with a sigh.

She actually wanted to ask Xu Xiyu what he was going to do, but she swallowed the words back when they came to her lips.

Because she felt that she shouldn't be the one asking such questions.

Moreover, in the entertainment industry, there are too many relationships like Xu Xiyu and Lu Qinyao. Most people are fine for just playing around, but once the topic of "having children" is involved, there is nothing to talk about, so forget it.

Thinking of this, Gong Lingyun looked at Xu Xiyu with a softer look. After all, there were not many people who valued feelings like Xu Xiyu.

When Xu Xiyu saw that she was hesitant to speak, he understood what she meant.

No, he really couldn't give any answer.

So, he changed the subject and said, "I originally planned to make a movie with the purpose of winning an award for Qin Yao."

"Win an award?" Gong Lingyun was startled when he heard that, and then asked, "What's the subject matter? Did you write the book yourself?"

"The subject matter is not important. Now I think that the character setting may not be suitable." Xu Xiyu shook his head without elaborating.

He was afraid that Gong Lingyun would tell Lv Qinyao about the character setting because in the story of "Disciple", the female protagonist who sucked also had a daughter.

Normally, the richer and more conflicting the role setting is for an actor, the better. But for Lv Qinyao now, this setting may trigger some bad associations.

Since you have already deemed "The Disciples" inappropriate, there is really no need to mention it further.

So, he continued, "I think the most suitable role for her right now has to be a healing story, and it has to be the kind of healing story that can win awards."

"Healing system?" Gong Lingyun began to ponder.

After a moment's silence, he agreed, "Healing is good! Also, she would be very happy if she could win a heavyweight acting award."

To be honest, Gong Lingyun also felt that it was a bit difficult for Xu Xiyu to be a father at this age.

Therefore, if you are destined not to be able to fulfill your wishes in life, further progress in your career may be able to compensate for it.

Thinking of this, she emphasized: "Xiyu, 35 is a hurdle for women. She really needs an award to enter a new stage of life."

"1 prize?" Xu Xiyu was stunned. He didn't expect Gong Lingyun to be so small-minded. What's the point of 1 prize?
But Gong Lingyun did not understand what Xu Xiyu meant.

She would never have thought that Xu Xiyu planned to sweep the heavyweight awards in both sides of the Taiwan Strait and Hong Kong, making Lu Qinyao the "Grand Slam Actress".

After all, she has followed Lu Qinyao for so many years and won the biggest award, the Best Newcomer Award at the Golden Eagle Awards.

Based on her conventional thinking, she felt that the title of Best Actress was a bit far away from Lu Qinyao, so she would be thankful if she could get one.

So, she said solemnly: "This award should be something like the Golden Rooster Award or the Hundred Flowers Award. It would be even better if it is the Huabiao Award."
