Huayu became famous overnight

Chapter 209 Good times are yet to come
"Take it. Why not take the business that comes to your door?"

Xu Ming raised his eyebrows. "As long as it's not illegal, there's nothing we can't do within our business scope."

"It doesn't matter who says hello. We are obviously offending people by doing this job. If we don't dare to offend people, what's the point of doing this job?"

Today Yao Dazui comes and I’m scared. Tomorrow someone else comes and says hello, and I’m scared again.

Qiming Network has a shitty reputation in the industry.

"Oh, then I'll reply to Vice President Zhuo." Xiaojuan nodded.

She didn't have any other thoughts. After following Brother Ming for so long, no matter how big the scene was, it couldn't scare her.

"Wait, tell Zhuo Wei to stop just exploring emotional issues and try other directions as well."

Xu Ming paused, "As for Ling Xiaosu, don't think about whether he cheated or not. Netizens will naturally stand on the woman's side when it comes to relationships."

"He used his previous bad boy image in "Temptation of Going Home" to market his relationship problems, so that they don't seem that serious."

"For example, the famous line 'You are so sexy', play with this meme more."

Regarding Ling Yao’s emotional dispute.

He did have some understanding of it, but it turned out that the two of them had already been estranged in spirit before their divorce.

But the most unkind thing on Yao's part was that he tacitly acknowledged Ling's infidelity and marketed his own injured image.

In fact, she fell in love with photographer Cao Yu during the filming of "Love is Excellent", and they had not divorced at that time.

It was later revealed by the male lead Liu Ye in the same group in an interview.

As a result of this, the couple never communicated with the latter again.

It is difficult to say whether Liu Ye did it intentionally or unintentionally.

It is possible that he couldn't stand the other party's behavior and felt sympathy for Ling Xiaosu, who is also an actor.

Speaking of which, Yao Ling and he were a couple from college.

What a mess, tit tut tut.

"it is good."

Xiaojuan agreed.

……

As the time goes.

"The Laughing Man" was finally taken off the screen, and the final box office was fixed at 2.2 million.

The original film grossed 1.6 million yuan, and Xu Ming's participation and efforts injected more vitality into the film.

But the potential is ultimately limited.

Although it is not as good as If You Are the One 2, the box office of million is already a good start this year.

The name Xu Ming is becoming increasingly popular.

The success of each film has attracted every investor and film producer.

Especially after CK and Xu Ming finalized the endorsement, released a preview on Weibo, and it topped the hot search list.

Advertisers and endorsers also went crazy.

He has representative works, public recognition, topics and traffic, and his personality is as solid as a rock.

Except for being disliked by his peers, he is a darling both inside and outside the circle.

However, Xu Ming ignored all the countless invitations he received.

He focused his energy on the training of "A Man's Martial Arts" and occasionally participated in the preparation of other film projects remotely.

This year is a crucial year for him. As long as he can achieve the goal of dominating the charts, the days of making money are still to come.

……

End of March.

The box office of "Guan Yin Shan" reached 60 million, which shocked many people.

An art film can also achieve such a good result.

The commercial value of Fan Bingbing, who plays the leading female role, has once again been re-examined by the industry.

It was not until this moment that the other party truly embarked on the path of becoming a wealthy family.

Looking at the three women in "Return of the Condor Heroes".

Whether it is Xiaoyanzi, Ziwei or Jinsuo.

In the end, they all became strong women.

On the contrary, the male protagonists such as Erkang and Yongqi follow the routine.

The success of the former also gave the creators of "Dear" more confidence.

Even art films can be so fierce.

It doesn't make sense that their art film with some commercial attributes won't work.

Xu Ming had even less to worry about.

In the eyes of others, "Dear" is an art film.

In his opinion, it is actually a commercial film in the guise of an art film.

Whether in terms of story structure or rhythm, it is all in the style of a commercial film.

It's just that the intention seems heavy.

3 month 31 day.

The Wanda Cinema was crowded with people.

Media reporters occupied advantageous positions early on.

In the off-season of March.

The cast of "Dear" can be said to be the best among the crowd.

Even during popular time periods such as the summer vacation and the Lunar New Year holiday, it is not at all out of place.

Think about it, the old partners Zhang and Gong reunited, plus the popular young actor Xu Ming, as well as first-line actors such as Hao Qi and Hu Jun, there are not many movies throughout the year that can compare to this.

"Director Cheng, Brother Zhuo, welcome. I'm busy right now, so I won't entertain you yet. Please take a seat inside."

Xu Ming stood at the door and greeted Cheng Xiaodong and Zhao Wenzhuo with a smile.

This kind of public welfare activity is difficult for filmmakers in the industry to refuse.

First, it allows you to gain a favor from the film company, which you will be able to repay sooner or later; second, it allows you to appear less commercial and more caring and ethical.

That’s right, artists who pursue commercial value do not want to be labeled as commercial.

That would make them look low-class and unpopular in the market.

On the contrary, those who are noble, literary, and independent tend to command higher prices and have greater fan loyalty.

Wang Fei, whom he knows, is a typical example.

This sister's exposure rate and high appearance fee are the benefits brought by her personality.

There is also his old lover Dou Sheng.

It is also the spiritual totem of countless rock fans.

Sometimes, if these characters are stable, you can have no problem making a living for the rest of your life.

Those old artists who frequently appear in public, such as Pan Changjiang, who promotes products, are in a state of collapse.

After a while, most of the invited guests arrived.

Half of them were friends invited by Xu Ming, and the rest were called by other investors.

Just as he was about to go back to the theater, an expected yet unexpected figure got out of the car.

"Uncle Han?"

Xu Ming had a surprised expression.

In fact, he had heard some news about the latter's arrival from Master Zhang, but it was not confirmed.

Otherwise he wouldn't be standing at the gate waiting until now.

"You're making such a big noise, it would be inappropriate for me not to come."

Han Sanping couldn't help but smile when he saw his nephew. "The bet you made with Xiaogang a few days ago was ridiculous. Don't act so recklessly in the future. Someone has reported you to me."

He has come into contact with many actors in the circle, some of whom are capable of doing things.

Only Xu Ming was the only one who encountered things beyond his expectations.

How could someone do such a thing as running around Shichahai? Just run away, even with your butt exposed.

So much so that when Xu Ming was mentioned above, I couldn't help laughing.

Although he lacked some of the elite temperament of a young man, he weakened his opponent's sharpness in disguise. Everyone's impression of him changed from being sharp and aggressive to having an eccentric personality.

Don't underestimate the changes in these two impressions. Being too sharp will easily make you the first to be shot. Having an eccentric personality will at most make you appear unstable, and may even make people think you are naive.

After all, what normal person could do such a thing?
"Tell tales on me? He feels inferior because I show my butt?" Xu Ming asked in surprise.

"You, you."

Han Sanping laughed dumbly and pointed at the other party: "Let's go, I haven't seen Director Zhang and Xiao Gong for a long time, it's rare to see them work together again."

Xu Ming obediently led the other party into the theater.

Seeing the two figures, everyone in the circle who had been sitting down quickly stood up again.

"Director Han."

"Third Master."

"Everyone, sit down. Don't make a fuss just because I arrive. Today's task is to watch a movie." Han Sanping waved his hand.

But the crowd didn't care and continued standing there.

In front of the leader, you may not remember who is standing, but you can see clearly who is not standing.

They didn't sit down until Han Sanping sat down.

But his eyes would drift towards the other person from time to time, and he was thinking about something in his mind.

It is said that Xu Ming and Mr. Han have a good relationship.

Seeing each other today, we are closer than the rumors said.

After all, Han Sanping has many young newcomers who he likes, but few of them can make him smile and listen attentively.

"'A Man's Martial Arts' will start filming in Hong Kong in a week and is expected to be completed in June. By then, the preparations for 'Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy' should be almost done."

Xu Ming reported to Han Sanping on the progress of two major projects.

Of course, in the eyes of the other party, only the latter is important, after all, it is a big production worth over 100 million.

"Well, I heard that you and Han Han will cooperate next time?"

Han Sanping nodded, but his attention was not on the two projects mentioned by Xu Ming.

Instead, I am interested in this film project which has not yet started.

Although Xu Ke is a veteran director, he cannot compare with Han Han in terms of fame.

As a leading figure among the post-80s generation, he teamed up with Xu Ming, a rising star in the late 1980s. The impact caused by the two of them together is not as simple as one plus one equals two.

“Indeed, there is, but the script is still in the works.”

Xu Ming paused, "But in my opinion, we will try to release it this year."

"You have to hurry up. Currently, there are only four films scheduled, which is not enough to achieve the goal. If you need any support or help, just ask."

Han Sanping said firmly, "Within a reasonable range, we will try our best to give you convenience."

For example, the recently released "The Laughing Man" has a high screening schedule in Chinese cinemas.

This is his instruction.

If the mainland can produce a groundbreaking young actor who bears his mark, it will be a rare achievement for him.

It is better than now when we talk about superstars, most of them are artists from Hong Kong and Taiwan, and some of them are even foreigners.

From this point of view, Xu Ming is at least trustworthy in terms of his character and stance.

"There are no difficulties at the moment. If you need anything, I won't be polite to you." Xu Ming said with a smile.

He has already owed a lot to the other party, whether it is the film projects under his company or the development of Guangying Ticketing Network.

With the other party's protection, the process went much smoother than expected.

No problem, that is the greatest convenience given by the other party.

Just like a certain glass boss who claimed that he had never asked his brother, the prefect, for help.

In fact, he was the prefect's younger brother, which saved him from a lot of trouble.

As they were talking, the theater suddenly went dark.

The movie begins.

The invited guests and film critics did not initially have high expectations for this film which was produced under the banner of charity.

The subject matter is naturally limited.

Dancing in shackles is not an easy task.

However, as the plot progresses, the tense pace allows everyone to easily immerse themselves in the story.

"Give me back my son!"

Hao Qi was crying and Xu Ming pursed his pale lips, with a look of confusion on his face.

When people encounter a major shock, the brain will subconsciously block out painful emotions in order to protect itself.

"Xu Ming's acting is pretty good. He doesn't look like a non-professional actor who has just debuted two years ago." Zhao Wenzhuo raised his eyebrows and praised.

He had only seen the other party's sketches and had never seen the movie.

Now, after a sudden look at it, his impression of the other party was immediately overturned. This performance could get at least 80 points.

"Everyone says that Xiao Xu became famous because of luck. I'm afraid this will disappoint many people. This kid has a great talent for acting."

Cheng Xiaodong on the side sighed, he had seen a series of the other party's works.

From the earliest "Love is Not Blind" to the later "Three Guns", as well as "Big Laugh" where he met the other party, to the current "Dear".

He witnessed Xu Ming's progress with his own eyes, step by step to reach his current level.

He has seen many actors who scored 80 points right from the start.

But there are very few actors who can steadily and quickly improve from 60 points to 80 points, and they all grow to very high positions later.

Like Liang Jiahui, Zhou Xingchi, Wu Zhenyu, etc., their performances were very immature at the beginning, but gradually grew into movie kings.

Compared with these people, Xu Ming's advantage lies in that he became famous at a young age rather than being a late bloomer.

As long as you keep a calm mind, it is unpredictable where the future will go.

Cheng Xiaodong thought back to the interactions he had had with the other party since they met, and immediately began to attach greater importance to him.

This guy is not very old, but he is as cunning as a fox and as steady as an old dog.

On the other side, Master Zhang expressed the same sentiment.

"I didn't notice it on the set, but now I see that Xiao Xu's progress is indeed amazing. It's a pity that this kid doesn't want to act in my movies anymore..."

Otherwise, if you adjust two more, it will be very convenient to use.

Of course, this is just his imagination now.

If Xu Ming heard this, he would definitely spit. Zhang Yimou's female protagonists have always been very stable, and his male protagonists, except for Zhang Yi who came later, have been changed more frequently than the last.

We have heard a lot about "Mou's girls", but have you heard of "Mou's boys"?
"Perhaps your thinking is backward, and the movies you make don't suit the tastes of modern audiences."

Gong Li stabbed with an expressionless face.

She already knew that he and Canary had obtained their marriage certificate.

Even though the two no longer had the feelings for each other, it was impossible to say that they were not moved at all when they received this news.

Master Zhang touched his nose and didn't dare to respond.

By the time "Dear Child" was playing in the theater, the movie had ended.

The lights come on.

There were still traces of tears in the corners of the audience's eyes.

As a sensational work, it successfully touched the hearts of most audiences.

Just for this reason, the creative team gave up half of their efforts.

"Is this movie good?" Xu Ming asked with a smile.

"nice!"

Most of the audience who were able to enter were fans who came for him, Master Zhang and others, so they were naturally very respectful.

"It seems that you are not a rubbish audience."

Xu Ming did not forget to pull Feng Dapao out and give him another whipping. This old guy was so outspoken, so don't blame him for making jokes from time to time.

Hahahaha, the theater was filled with laughter.

The love-hate relationship between Xu Ming and Feng Dapao has long been a topic of conversation among movie fans.

These two guys can't get used to it until they stop fighting.

However, Master Zhang looked a little embarrassed. There was no grudge between him and Feng Xiaogang. By doing this, he might have offended Feng Xiaogang even if he had no grudge against him.
