Chapter 102： Laomouzi

The sleeping child is cute, so cute that Xu Ang couldn't help poking her little nose with his finger, causing Xiaoxiao's hand to wave unconsciously. When her hand touched Xu Ang's finger, she held it tightly again.

Xu Ang didn't move until she relaxed, then she pulled out her fingers and put a big white rabbit over.

I think when the little sister wakes up, she will get a small surprise.

Fang Shuying looked at the door and saw that her son did not wake up her daughter, she whispered, "It's still New Year's Eve, are you going to go out to work?"

It was freezing cold outside, and there were not many pedestrians on the street. Naturally, the mother didn't want her son to work so hard.

Xu Ang understood his mother's concern for him, but he had a reason not to go.

"Mom, I made the movie, and it was my company that made the money in the end. Yang Xiaomi and Jiang Wen were both working hard to promote it, and they were running around at home and abroad. I didn't participate in these. I can't be absent from the premiere of the movie today. already."

What Xu Ang said, Fang Shuying knew in her heart, she just didn't want her son to be so tired, she was only going out on the first day of the new year, and she was busy even during the New Year.

As the first film he made, "The Sassy Girl" has a different weight in Xu Ang's heart. He has to stare to see what kind of results his first work can achieve and whether it can break through its original influence and break its original box office.

Although there is a premiere in China at this time, it is far less grand than later generations. Everyone invites acquaintances and friends in the circle. If you have time, come to support it, and no one will mind if you don't have time. If it comes to later generations, if a big circle like Jiang Wen invites you, the premiere of the movie will definitely be star-studded, and countless film rolls will be murdered.

Xu Ang came a little late, he didn't do it on purpose, because he did it on purpose.

Filmmaking is just his hobby, or one of his development directions, and Xiaoxiao Media is just a part of his career. It is impossible for him to keep his eyes on the film and television circle, and it is even less possible to spend all his energy on the film and television circle. This requires Xu Ang to cultivate his own people early, so that he can have someone to stand on when he needs to let go.

Obviously, Zheng Jiajia is such a candidate.

In later generations, she can manage the media company Yang Xiaomi and her co-founded well, which proves that she has talent in this area. What Xu Ang has to do is to cultivate her early and activate her potential in this area in advance.

Therefore, Xu Ang pushed Zheng Jiajia to the front of the domestic premiere of "Savage Girlfriend" and asked Jiang Wen to take her to get acquainted with the people in the circle.

Of course, she is familiar now. When the results of "Sassy Girl" come out, Zheng Jiajia, the CEO of Xiaoxiao Media, will not only have a familiar face, she will become a newcomer in the circle, and she will also be recruited from all walks of life. The hero's capital is ready for the shooting of the next TV series "Returning the Pearl".

"Brother, you came just in time. I was mentioning you to Laomouzi."

Xu Ang took Jiang Wen away as soon as he arrived.

The face of an old peasant in the northwest is not handsome, but has a sense of bitterness and hatred.

This is the old man.

"Director Xu, it's nice to meet you."

Laomouzi called Xu Ang according to the rules in the circle. He was actually very curious about Xu Ang.

God knows when he first learned that a young man from China broke into the United States alone, did such a big thing in Hollywood with his bare hands, and cut hundreds of millions of dollars at the North American box office with a work of elementary school students that is indescribable in the eyes of all professional filmmakers. How shocked.

Domestic movies don't even have a box office of hundreds of millions of dollars, not even 100 million. The box office with 20 to 30 million Huaxia coins has already woken up with laughter, and it can be said that he is a famous director with a big box office.

What so many filmmakers have failed to achieve, and the goals that so many domestic directors have failed to achieve, was quietly achieved by a young young man. When the news came back to China, it was no less important to the domestic film and television industry. A magnitude 9 earthquake.

So many of our big domestic directors and big stars known to the Chinese people are still out of reach even with a box office of 100 million US dollars. You Xu Ang, a little-known young man, has made hundreds of millions of US dollars at the box office. The actress who used Yang Xiaomi's acting skills is not ranked in the hearts of the directors. Everyone wants to ask: Where are you from, this is too enchanting.

Originally Laomouzi, like other professional filmmakers, was not convinced by Xu Ang. In his opinion, the success of "Blair Witch" is not the success of the movie, but the reason for commercial operation, but when Jiang Wen found him with the script of "Hero", his mind changed immediately.

As the masterpiece of Lao Mouzi in later generations, the script of "Hero" is really in line with Lao Mouzi's heart. He feels that this script has written many ideas in his mind, and even many of him are at the moment. Those that haven't been cleaned up yet are clearly shown in the script.

Xu Ang, who can write such a script, does not dare to despise him, nor does he think that his success is just a commercial success, but recognizes that Xu Ang has real skills.

Seeing Xu Ang's youthful face, Lao Mouzi, who met the young man for the first time, couldn't help thinking: Are young people so amazing these days? Am I really getting old?

"I took over the drama "Heroes"." Laomouzi first expressed his attitude, and then said, "I think so about the compensation. Director Xu's Xiaoxiao Media has invested so much, and it is the first time in China. Do you think it is not a fixed salary, but a form of director's salary plus box office share."

The investment of more than 200 million yuan is too large Laomouzi is not sure that he can recover the cost, but his confidence as a leader makes him unable to show his timidity in front of others. He is not the kind of unscrupulous director who only cares about his own money and ignores the life and death of investors, so he came up with an idea to let himself get less pay and reduce the losses of Xiaoxiao Media.

Given the environment of the domestic film market, the box office share he wanted was simply not enough to offset the part of the remuneration he voluntarily requested to reduce.

Laomouzi, this can be considered a price cut in disguise.

Can Xu Ang agree?

Of course not.

It is true that the domestic market cannot support such a large-scale production with such a large investment. As an investor, Xiaoxiao Media will definitely lose money and go to the grandmother's house.

Ke Xu Ang's eyes are not only on the domestic market. He already has a channel in Hollywood, and he focuses on the entire international market.

The total global box office of "Heroes" is close to 177.4 million US dollars, the domestic market contributed 250 million Chinese yuan at the box office, and the rest is the box office of the international market. In other words, the box office in the international market has reached about 176 million. Compared with investment, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a big profit.

Laomouzi is not one of Xiaoxiao Media's own people, how could Xu Ang promise him to give him a share of the box office, even if he is well-intentioned.

"Director Zhang, everyone contributes their own strength to the domestic film industry, so talking about money is vulgar."

Xu Ang laughed and rejected Laomouzi's proposal.

The other party didn't accept his kindness, and Laomouzi didn't persuade him any more. Anyway, what he meant was that he was here, but the other party didn't agree, and he couldn't find him if he lost money.

Besides, the script written by Xu Ang was so detailed that it felt like a director could shoot it, which made Lao Mouzi lose the space to move around, and there was not much room for negotiation.
