Huayu became famous overnight

Chapter 193 Just Give Me One Chance
[Jiang Wen's new film has a pre-sale box office of 12 million, and it is a blast throughout. 】

【Xu Ming: You are the best audience.】

[Let the bullets fly for a while, this is a romance that belongs only to men! ]

As expected, the next day the media were full of press releases about Let the Bullets Fly.

Whether it is Xu Ming's appearance or Jiang Wen's new work.

It is an eye-catching event for the media and movie fans.

But only after watching the movie on site.

Most of them turned their attention to the movie itself.

After just one day of release, word of mouth has already spread like wildfire.

The crew of "Fleeting Time".

Xu Ming has returned to the set, and he is lucky enough to be able to promote Jiang Wen for a day.

Any more will be charged per day.

"Brother Ming, the first day box office of Let the Bullets Fly is out, 42 million, which is not high." Xiaojuan scratched her head.

The others nodded seriously.

The boss kept promoting the film for most of the day, creating such a high level of hype that the film finally earned just 40 million at the premiere box office.

It is not low in theory, and it is considered high among the movies released this year.

But it seems that there is still some distance to break the record of "Tangshan".

"Why are you in such a hurry? The title of the movie is well written. Let the bullets fly for a while." Xu Ming said with a chuckle.

There's nothing we can do about it. Jiang Wen's last movie performed so poorly at the box office, so it's normal for the audience to be hesitant.

The fact that the film had a box office of over 40 million at the premiere already means that Jiang Wen has enough die-hard fans. They are just waiting for word-of-mouth to come out before the main film can be released.

Xiaojuan nodded, not quite understanding.

The situation of "So Young" suddenly flashed through my mind.

Could it be that the miracle of rising against the market trend at that time will happen again?
Jingle Bell!
Just as he finished speaking, Jiang Wen called.

"Hey."

"The first day's box office was 42 million. I, as your uncle, am too embarrassed to call you."

Jiang Wen sighed. He would definitely be satisfied with the previous box office figures.

But Xu Ming worked so hard that he felt sorry for the other party's confidence in him.

"I just told the people below to let the bullets fly for a while."

Xu Ming paused, "Put your heart at ease, this movie will definitely break the record, I said."

Listen, this sense of trust is about to overflow.

Jiang Wen was deeply moved. He didn't trust "Let the Bullets Fly" as much as the other party did.

"You kid... don't say anything. Just for your trust, I will do the roadshow non-stop even if my legs are thin." Jiang Wen said.

"Of course not. If you lose, all the boasting I put on my Weibo will be exposed." Xu Ming said with a smile.

Hey, this kid.

I was so touched.

After hanging up the phone, Xu Ming turned around and asked Guo Fan, "How many scenes do we have left?"

"There are only a few scenes left. We will probably finish shooting the day after tomorrow." Guo Fan replied.

The whole company knows that Xu Ming is waiting to join the cast of "The Unknown".

Sometimes when he thought about it this way, Guo Fan felt that he was being tricked by Ning Hao.

Xu Ming nodded, and Ni Ni on the other side had a thoughtful look in her eyes.

By the afternoon.

Finished filming a love scene between the male and female lead.

Ni Ni started crying again.

The crew has long been accustomed to the former's over-immersion in the role.

But this time I cried for a really long time.

How to do?
Everyone turned their eyes to Xu Ming again.

"Well, wasn't the damage I did last time bad enough?" Xu Ming said helplessly.

He is good at getting women into bed, but not good at coaxing women.

"Let's give it our all. You don't want to be unable to kill Qing the day after tomorrow, do you?" Guo Fan advised.

As he was speaking, he saw Nazha running over in a hurry.

"Sister Ni Ni said she wanted to go back and rest. I feel like she's not in a good condition. How about you go over and take a look?"

"I?"

Xu Ming was puzzled as to why they were all pointing at him.

The two of them didn't say anything, just stared at the former with a look that you understand.

Who allowed you to release your charm indiscriminately?

Honestly speaking, Xu Ming felt secretly happy when a female artist under his company fell in love with him.

But rabbits don't eat grass near their burrows.

Besides, he has a lot of mouths.

It’s so difficult. Being handsome can sometimes be a pain.

"Okay, I'll go take a look. You guys can continue filming. If there's nothing to film, just take some extra shots of the previous scenes."

Xu Ming gave him some instructions and followed him back towards the hotel.

Arrived at the room where Ni Ni was.

The door was not closed, but ajar.

When he pushed open the door, he saw the other person sitting on the edge of the bed with red eyes. When he saw Xu Ming coming in, he turned sideways, not wanting the other person to see his appearance.

"What did I say last time? Being able to get into a role but not being able to get out of it is a taboo. You can't just play this type of role in the future, right?"

Seeing that Ni Ni's eyes were red again, Xu Ming changed the subject and said, "But it's also my fault. I asked you to act in two youth films in a row, which limited you. I have to give you a break and arrange some other types of roles for you."

He forces others to get into the role when they are not, and then complains about others not being able to do so after they are into the role. He feels like a real beast boss.

Both and...

"I'm not crying just for Fang Wei, you know." Ni Ni said.

Xu Ming was stunned for a moment, then sat next to the other person and said earnestly, "You are still young, and sometimes what you think is love is not really love..."

"I was born in 88, what about you?" Ni Ni asked.

Xu Ming choked. He was only born in 89, which made him one year younger than the other person.

"I brought you from Nanguan to Qiming to train you to be a good actor, not to let you fall in love. You are now in your rising period, and it is time to work hard for your career. Men will only hinder your development."

Xu Ming argued confidently and in a serious tone: "Besides, our company has always strictly prohibited office romances, and I personally must set an example..."

"What about Li Jinming?" Ni Ni asked again.

Xu Ming choked again. The slap in the face came so fast like a tornado.

He tried to argue: "That was before I joined the company."

"Where's Zhao Wenqi?"

"Where's Yang Mi?"

"And Hao Qi and Gong Li..."

Ni Ni looked indignant. Why could everyone else do it but not her?
"Hey, hey, hey, stop it. This has nothing to do with Teacher Gong Li. Don't talk nonsense." Xu Ming interrupted.

"Then the others are all the same." Ni Ni said.

Damn, you are trying to cheat me.

"That's not a romantic relationship, at best it's an affair." Xu Ming argued speciously.

"Then I also want to have an affair with you."

Ni Ni looked into Xu Ming's eyes and took off her clothes while speaking: "Am I any worse than them? In terms of appearance and figure, am I so unbearable?"

"If you continue like this, I'm going to sue you for harassment."

Xu Ming stood up and said with a serious face: "This is already a serious workplace harassment."

"Why don't I harass others but you? It's all your fault that you always care about me and make me fall in love with you unknowingly. You have to take responsibility." Ni Ni stood up and said.

Oh my God, Xu Ming swore that for a moment, he felt powerless inside.

I feel so angry and cold. When will a man be able to truly stand up?

"I care about everyone and treat Nazha and the others equally," said Xu Ming.

"It doesn't matter. I don't mind if you have an affair with Nazha and the others."

Ni Ni said as she approached Xu Ming, put her arms around his neck, and said with affectionate eyes: "Please, just give me this once, just this once."

Damn it, you've finished my words, what did I say?
"This is not good, Ni Ni, I hope the relationship between us can be purer." Xu Ming looked painful.

Ni Ni curled her lips when she heard this. Pure? Are you kidding me?
There was a rustling sound.

Xiaojuan, who had been waiting for a long time but didn't see the two of them coming down, came up to check and her cheeks blushed when she heard the noise.

I asked you to coax people, and this is how you do it?

Why does the crying sound even louder?

Xiaojuan closed the door sensibly and stood guard at the elevator entrance.

After half an hour.

Xu Ming was sitting on the bed, while Ni Ni was curled up in the quilt beside him.

As soon as his hand touched the latter's arm, Ni Ni was so scared that she tightened the quilt: "No, no, I can't do it anymore."

"Weren't you quite arrogant just now?" Xu Ming sneered.

The wildness of the girl just now made him think that he had met his match and that a fierce battle was about to begin.

Love is a babe.

He surrendered in a few moves, and turned out to be just an embroidered pillow.

"With this level, you'd better step back a little, have a good rest, return to the crew, and finish the rest of the scenes." Xu Ming said.

For the sake of the crew, it is not easy for him as a boss, he is willing to sacrifice himself for the sake of justice.

"You say who can't do it."

Ni Ni gritted her teeth and said she was okay with everything except this: "Come again!"

ten minutes later.

She grabbed Xu Ming's arm: "It's really not okay, I was wrong."

"Only an ox can die of exhaustion, and no land can be plowed to death. If you say you can do it, then you can do it."

Xu Ming looked very disappointed. Who can climb into my bed just because they want to?
Wherever you go, the battle will last till dawn~ (Doudizhu version)
……

set.

Nazha said absentmindedly: "You guys think, can Brother Ming coax Sister Ni Ni?"

"I wonder if Ni Ni can coax Mr. Xu." Li Jinming said with a smile.

"Ah? Why? It's Sister Ni Ni who is crying, not Brother Ming?" Nazha was puzzled.

Li Jinming sometimes envies Nazha's simplicity. Unlike her, knowing too much is not necessarily a good thing.

"When Ni Ni comes back, you'll know. If you don't believe me, let's make a bet. She will definitely have a rosy complexion and be radiant, just like a little flower that has been nourished."

Li Jinming glanced at the time and continued, "Maybe his legs will shake when he walks."

"real or fake?"

Nazha always felt that there were secrets hidden in this field that she didn't understand.

"Haha, there are less than three days left until the end of the filming. Of course she has to seize the last chance." Li Jinming said dimly.

It's impossible to say that she has no emotions in her heart.

But if you think about it carefully, with her status, she has no right to say anything even if she has emotions.

Another scene was re-shot.

Just when the entire crew was gradually becoming disorganized.

Xu Ming returned alone.

"Ahem, Ni Ni is not feeling well, so let's stop her scenes today and shoot mine first."

Nazha looked at Li Jinming beside her, how should this bet be settled?
The latter smacked his lips and said, "I miscalculated. I overestimated that girl's fighting ability."

……

Fast forward to August 12th.

"Fleeting Time" has been completed.

And "Let the Bullets Fly" also spent its first weekend.

in the office.

Xu Ming and Han Sanping sat opposite each other.

dong dong!

A skinny middle-aged man walked in from outside the door.

It was Xu Ke.

"Hello, Director Xu. I've seen many of your movies, and finally I get to meet you in person." Xu Ming stood up to greet him.

When he scolds Hong Kong and Taiwan filmmakers, he only targets those who curse the chef while eating from their own bowl.

A pure businessman director like Xu Ke can gain his respect.

After all, the other party goes wherever they can make money, and they have a long history of cooperating with mainland filmmakers.

"I'm sorry to disappoint you. I'm not as good-looking as in the movies." Xu Ke said with a smile.

He also wanted to make friends with Xu Ming, a rising star.

As the box office of "Let the Bullets Fly" increases, the Guangying Ticket Purchasing Network, which helps to wave the banner, has also been noticed by all parties.

Although the success of Let the Bullets Fly cannot be entirely attributed to the latter's publicity.

But in the eyes of most people, it is still of great help.

During this period, every time the box office of "Let the Bullets Fly" increased, the valuation of Guangying Ticketing Network also increased.

If you really count it, Xu Ming earns no less than the film producers.

"You two families should stop flattering each other."

Han Sanping beckoned for the two to sit down, and said with a smile: "It was Xu Ming's idea to invite you here this time. He has a project that he wants to cooperate with you."

"My studio has signed a contract with Bona. I have to ask Mr. Yu about this matter," said Xu Ke.

He also holds a certain share of Bona Group, just waiting for the latter to go public and reap the benefits.

This answer was beyond Han Sanping's expectations.

He knew about the deep cooperation between Bona and Xu Ke, but he did not expect that the two sides were so deeply tied together.

"I have a good relationship with Director Yu, he shouldn't refuse." Xu Ming smiled, "If it really doesn't work, we can also bring Director Yu in as well."

Anyway, he didn't intend to make money from "Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy", so it didn't matter if there were suckers willing to pay for it.

As for China Film Group, Han Sanping has always hoped that he would make a blockbuster film, which would just satisfy the former's wish.

Even for the former, profit is secondary. As long as the box office can be high, it is a success.

"That's fine. I'll give Xiao Yu a call."

Han Sanping nodded and called out "Xiao Yu" as if to let it be.

Seeing this, Xu Ke made a decision in his mind and asked Xu Ming, "What kind of story are you planning to shoot?"

"Have you seen 'Lin Hai Xue Yuan'? I plan to film the scene of taking Tiger Mountain by strategy." Xu Ming said.

Xu Ke was slightly stunned. He knew it too well.

As early as the 70s, when he was studying in the United States, he watched the Peking Opera version of "Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy", and this story has lingered in his mind for decades.

However, he did not show any emotion on the surface, and said calmly: "Then why did you think of asking me to direct? I don't think I have any experience in shooting war films."

"Special effects are needed in many places in this movie. Although you have never made a war movie, your experience in special effects should be among the best among domestic directors." Xu Ming said.

This sentence really touched Xu Ke's heart.

Ever since he set up the special effects studio, he has been obsessed with special effects movies, and he has long predicted that special effects are the future of movies.

From "The Legend of Zu" to the later "Seven Swords", special effects were produced.

Of course, another reason is to get work for his special effects studio.
