Chapter 67:

Director Xu Xiancheng has always been subtle in the circle. He does have extraordinary creativity, but he always likes to express artistic opinions, and even criticizes his wife Xie Zhaoyan's plays, thinking that she has also acted in bad movies. Chu Xiaxing, Wang Fengtian and others have to say something to Director Xu from time to time, that he can't understand his character occasionally, but he does belong to a straightforward temper, which is really temperless.
It can only be said that the artists have some minor faults, which are a little annoying, but they are also harmless.
Therefore, whether everyone knows about the "Wu Li Tou New Movie" incident, they are all interested in "Thunder Gun Sage" mentioned by Director Xu and can't wait to go to the cinema to have a look. This undoubtedly stimulated the movie box office. Regardless of the audience's praise or criticism of the film, they must at least buy tickets to watch the movie before they can discuss it.
The box office of "Thunder Gun" also lived up to expectations, with a box office of 220 million on the first day and a box office of over 3 billion on the tenth day of its release. It has become one of the most talked-about works recently, and it has earned a lot of money.
With the popularity of the domestic market, a large number of spiritual shareholders have emerged on the Internet, who watch the box office changes of movies every day. No one thought that the box office of "Gun Saint" was so high. According to this momentum, it is very likely to break into the top 100 in the global movie box office. The rest depends on whether the overseas market can be strong, and it is necessary to know whether the domestic movies can compete with Hollywood blockbusters. Many, the filmmakers still have a long way to go.
Of course, regardless of the final box office data of "Thunder Gun Sage", Chu Xia Xing has succeeded in becoming famous.
If the movie "Wu Dao" can be attributed to the excellent script, then "Thunder and Spear Saint" is undoubtedly Chu Xia Xing's work. Science fiction movies are originally themes that have a high rate of hitting the streets in China. In addition, the actor Joe Zhans has no works and the heavyweight supporting role is not much. The director ability of Chu Xiaxing and the excellent special effects team are crucial.
Everyone has to admit that Director Xu's judgment is correct. Chu Xiaxing is indeed a very talented young director, and he looks promising, making people look forward to her next work.
"Thunder Gun" will also be released in overseas markets, and the crew will naturally promote it abroad.
Backstage at the overseas promotion conference, Xie Zhaoyan read the English press release, and she laughed and shared:
Some people on the Internet say that you surpass Chu Xiaxing in "Blood Sky", how does it feel to be trampled by yourself?"
The names of Chu Xiaxing and Chu Xiaxin are similar, and they will inevitably be compared together, making Xie Zhaoyan, who knows the truth, amused.
Chu Xiaxing: "If it's about the box office, then there is indeed a transcendence. It can only be said that the times are getting better and better."
When Chu Xiaxing was making movies in her last life, the domestic movie market was not that big, and she did not have a multi-billion box office work, and the audience at the time was quite limited.
Xie Zhaoyan: "It means that you became famous earlier, even younger than Shuangdao."
Press releases like to promote talented directors. They are keen to shape young and famous and talented geniuses, as if only brilliant and untainted characters are worth writing.
Chu Xiaxing: "What is beyond this? I can only say that I have had better luck in this life."
It is the norm to step by step in the film and television industry. Chu Xiaxing knows that he has met a reliable partner this time, otherwise it will never go so smoothly. Only by constantly producing works in her previous life can she gradually gain a firm foothold, as smooth as Xu Xiancheng and her own in this life, she is definitely the lucky one in the circle.
Xie Zhaoyan glanced up and down at the young director Chu, she muttered: "It's really lucky, and it's enviable to be younger. If I can be like you, I don't know how to make movies. It's great to play around. "
Chu Xiaxing squinted at her: "Aren't you just playing around abroad a few years ago? Besides, I have a different personality from yours. I don't think it's fun."
Xie Zhaoyan tutted: "I thought that if you were a man, maybe we could make a living together, but now I feel that you are more boring than Old Xu."
Chu Xiaxing: "In fact, gender is not important."
Xie Zhaoyan was taken aback: "You are suggesting me..."
Chu Xiaxing: "But I don't want to live with you. It's okay to look at your face, but you have a bad temper."
To be honest, it’s okay for Chu Xiaxing and Xie Zhaoyan to be friends, but she felt headaches when she thought of living together. She is not like Director Xu, who is soft-tempered in her life. It is estimated that she will be in a ball with the queen in a short time.
Xie Zhaoyan: "?"
After hearing her remarks, Xie Zhaoyan said in disbelief: "...Do you dare to despise me?"
"Director Chu, Teacher Xie, we should be on stage."
Xie Zhaoyan was looking for Chu Xiaxing to settle accounts. She planned to fight with her friends on the spot, but was interrupted by outside staff. She immediately resumed her dignified business appearance, just glaring at Chu Xiaxing, as if she was still keeping a small account in her heart.
The question of overseas interviews mainly revolves around Xie Zhaoyan. After all, she is an international actress and is well-known abroad. Chu Xiaxing and Qiao Zhansi were asked less frequently, and their influence had not yet radiated internationally, and the topics they were asked about were quite regular.
The audience was all the media holding machines, and the lighting on the stage was too sufficient, and Chu Xiaxing and others could not see clearly the situation in the audience. They could only listen carefully to the translation and answer the questions in Chinese. They didn't know where to put their eyes, and they didn't find the Asian man in the audience.
The man with the eastern face dressed as a reporter, wearing a hat and hanging a press card, successfully got into the media, but didn't ask any questions during the whole process, just staring at Joe Zhans on the stage dreamily.
After a while, someone suddenly squeezed into the media, and he grabbed the wrist of the man with Eastern faces. The other party originally wanted to dodge flexibly, but after seeing the person's appearance, he was taken aback, and finally chose to follow him away.
In a corner not far from the propaganda meeting, two men argued in Chinese, and the later man flew into a rage: "Who asked you to come here!?"
"I'll see my son."
"You are not his father now, you better understand this, you should know who you are!"
"I'm just playing Duan Hui, it doesn't mean that I am him. You better understand this." The man dressed up as the reporter pursed his lips slightly displeased. "You didn't say that my son was still alive?"
Father Qiao has a peculiar talent. He is very good at imitating other people's images. At the same time, he can infer his adult appearance from the five senses of children, and he is quite successful in recognizing and imitating people. He just inadvertently saw the image of Joe Zhans and determined that the other party was definitely his own child.
Father Qiao has been wandering overseas. His identity prevents him from contacting his relatives. Fortunately, he has a normal relationship with his family, but as a parent, his love for his children cannot be restrained. He didn't expect that Joe Zhans was still living in China, and thinking about his terrible family environment, he suddenly understood that his son's situation was never good, and he felt more guilty.
Once a person gets older and becomes a parent, he will let go of many obsessions in his youth and only hope that the next generation will be well.
"Since you already have money to do things, I hope you have a little professionalism, is your life still bad? How many people envy you, do you really plan to go to jail!?"
Father Qiao asked coldly: "So I can't even have the feelings of a normal person? Even if I go to jail, what if I can at least see him again."
The man didn't expect the other party to say this, he suddenly felt bad, and quickly slowed down his tone: "Stop talking stupid, is that just a matter of jail? And you haven't seen it all this time, and we didn't care about you. Fly here, you know exactly how big the risk is..."
Father Qiao fell silent, and his life in absconding overseas was like an unexploded thunder. It was convenient to hide in the early years, but it has become more and more dangerous in recent years.
"I'll accompany you back to have a last look, and then we will leave soon? He is now a movie star, it is impossible to have a bad life." The man said to comfort him, he did not dare to say anything to stimulate Qiao's father, after all, the other's age Placed here, it is indeed more unscrupulous.
Father Qiao finally returned to check with the man. He knew that Qiao Zhans would never have the chance after returning to China, so he really took one less look.
On the stage, his son has become so good, but he is like a rat in the sewer, ashamed to mention his name in front of him.
After the crew’s overseas announcement trip ended, "Thunder Gun Sage" successfully entered the top 100 global movie box office at home and abroad, and Chu Xiaxing, who returned home, also received new information from Song Zong.
In the Fanke film industry, Chu Xiaxing pulled out the information in the bag, and when she saw the "Yanchuan Studio City" on the document, her heart suddenly jumped slightly, and she felt like deja vu. She seemed to have seen similar materials before, and she naturally had the illusion of dreaming back to her previous life, and she was deeply moved for a while.
"Zongguo is really a capitalist, exploiting people non-stop." Chu Xiaxing used ridicule to cover up her absence. Her acting skills have always been superb and she did not show her inner waves.
Song Wenye and Yan Yue said, "Because I can finally show Director Chu this material formally, I am a little bit eager. Isn't this afraid that the director will raise the price?"
Although Song Wenye had mentioned Yanchuan Film and Television City on the premise, Chu Xiaxing was not qualified to talk in detail at the time, and her work and influence were not enough. She can now get internal information, which means that her performance is recognized, at least on par with the old director.
Chu Xiaxing smiled and said: "Song should always know my rules, I don't see the contract and I won't move."
Song Wenye: "Of course, but if you have to trouble Director Chu to take the time to meet Duan Dong, you may still need..."
Before Song Wenye finished speaking, the cell phone beside the information suddenly rang. He looked down at the caller ID and immediately looked at Chu Xiaxing apologetically, looking like he had to answer the call.
Chu Xiaxing didn't say a word, she graciously stretched out her hand to indicate that he would answer the phone first.
Song Wenye got up apologetically and walked to the side of the conference room. Since it was not a call from work, he did not go out to avoid it. He hesitated and said, "Hello, sister?"
Song Wenye's sister-in-law is Duan Chengyan's mother. The relationship between the two is pretty good, and the other party generally doesn't make phone calls casually.
Song Wenye was calm and steady before answering the phone, but after he hung up the phone, he showed a trace of astonishment and became desperate. He hurriedly gathered up the materials on the table, and said embarrassed: "Director Chu, I'm really sorry, there are some things at home, we will talk about it another day..."
"Ah, okay." Chu Xiaxing didn't mind, but seeing that he reacted abnormally and even the materials fell on the ground, she simply helped to pick it up, and said with concern, "Is there nothing wrong with your family? Who is sick?"
Song Wenye had never been so flustered. Chu Xia Xingsi and Duan Dong were quite old and naturally doubted whether the situation had changed.
Song Wenye's head is now like a mass of paste, like a machine that has always been ingenious suddenly shutting down, and even feels extremely absurd in her heart. Facing Chu Xiaxing’s question, he said in a dumb voice: "I don't know if it is something or nothing..."
"My father seems to be alive." Song Wenye was indeed a little dazed. This sounded like a blessing, and it was complicated to think about the fact that the other party had not shown up for many years.
Even though many people said that Duan Hui had absconded overseas, Song Wenye would never believe this. He only regarded it as an outsider's slander and smear of his father. The current news undoubtedly crushed his beliefs all along, and what he believed was simply disintegrated instantly.
"Is this something, or is it all right?" Song Wenye does not have the ability to think right now. He can only stare at Chu Xia Xing blankly, without knowing how to answer.
Chu Xiaxing looked at Song Wenye's wandering look, and suddenly a small section of Yanchuan City that year passed before his eyes. At that time, the little boy was also following her in confusion. He couldn't see the way forward at all in the dark night, and asked at a loss: "But where should I go?"
