Senior Superstar

After a month's vacation at home, An Xiaoxiao was surprisingly not fat.

According to the little story, he has been staying at his grandfather's house for more than 20 days. As the inheritor of An's Taijiquan, her grandfather, including the entire school, followed the path of pure heart and asceticism

And her grandma's cooking is super unpalatable.

Hearing An Xiaoxiao crazily complaining about her grandma with an egg waffle in her mouth, Li Shixin couldn't help but gasp.

A person who can make foodies complain that cooking is not delicious, then this person's cooking skills should be quite miserable.

After dinner with An Xiaoxiao, Xu Ge, Zhang Shuo and Zhang Ying, who had been contacted by Li Shixin last night, and Chen Antang also rushed to the orphanage one after another.

Rongdian is not far from Shanghai and Shanghai, and it takes more than two hours to drive. Knowing that Li Shixin was going to shoot a new film, the old fans who had just returned home and settled down, sneaked over with the car.

All of a sudden, the orphanage became lively.

In the small playground of the orphanage, watching the unexpected harmony of a group of old fans who had returned to their hometown radiant and playing with the children, Li Shixin talked about serious business with his godsons.

"Godfather, the film and television side has approved the investment yesterday. Today is Saturday, and it is estimated that the money will be credited to the account on Monday. But godfather, you said that the film will be released in a month. Is this a joke or is it serious?"

Hearing Chen Antang say that the funds are in place, Li Shixin smiled slightly, "Of course it is true."

"That's a bit difficult." Chen Antang clicked his lips, and said: "I read the script, modern urban theme, the difficulty of filming is not too big. The film crew here, Xu Ge's new play I can't see it for the time being Ma, just use the ready-made people in his studio. But you didn’t choose a good scene, and you didn’t finalize the actors. I still feel a little rushed in terms of time.”

Hearing that Chen Antang had sold his troops with a single twitch, Xu Ge gave him a hard look.

When he looked back, he showed a flattering smile to Li Shixin: "Godfather, I'm not a short film crew, that's what I'm talking about. In fact, it's not too difficult to shoot a film a month. You Look, our previous "Yan Baoxia" was still a period drama, and the costumes and props were rushed to film and prepared, and it took a month to shoot. But this time is different, you are not on the side of the film and television company Are you exaggerating, three million investment to win a billion box office. This, this, this, a billion box office."

"Um?"

Seeing Xu Ge's perplexed face, Li Shixin frowned: "What's wrong with the one-billion box office?"

"Your script is a theme of urban family love. This theme has been badly filmed in recent years. From the perspective of the theme, there is no basic box office. And with an investment of 3 million, our crew has saved up. The cost of each item is estimated to be enough. If you want to hit a high box office, you have to get a few actors with box office appeal."

Hey? !

Seeing Xu Ge's embarrassing dog face, Li Shixin was not happy.

What is an actor without box office appeal?

The old man has such a big wrist in front of you, didn't you see?

Rolling his eyelids, Li Shixin said coldly: "Isn't there an old man starring in it?"

"Ahem, godfather, you are a bit of a fan. If you say that you can support a box office of 100 million or 200 million, I will believe it."

Xu Ge snapped back immediately.

Rebel!

Secretly cursing the No. 4 godson, Li Shixin took a deep breath.

Ordinarily, Xu Ge was right.

The old man currently has nearly six million fans, but the composition of these six million fans is somewhat complicated.

Among the six million people, about half of them were attracted by doing things a few times. The ability to contribute to the box office must be there. But it is definitely unrealistic to rely on one's own fans to support a box office of one billion yuan.

In the domestic film circle, there are actually several hurdles at the box office.

Ten million to one hundred million is a hurdle. What is blocked by this hurdle is those who randomly find a script with a gimmick, find a few famous actors who have no acting skills, and then match a crew that spends a lot of money as standard, and use shoddy screens to cheat money.

One to five hundred million is a hurdle.

Generally speaking, movies that can reach this level have no flaws in content, strong publicity, and actors are basically in the group with a certain box office appeal. They are strictly commercial films.

And the file of five to one billion yuan is not the level that commercial operations can achieve. Generally speaking, a movie that can get this box office level must have something other than commercialization.

Maybe it's the depth, maybe it's the breaking point of public opinion, or it's the reputation output of big coffee. For example, in Li Shixin's previous life, the actor who was born as a director and slash starred in the actor's "Old Cannon", the classic Beijing opera adaptation film "Taking Tiger Mountain Out of Wisdom", and "The Tangren Street Case". And "Blind Pancake", which sold out all the products, exhausted the creative network and invited more than half of the entertainment circle to help out.

All within this grade.

When it reaches one billion or more, it will not be very favorable.

Among the works with a box office of more than one billion yuan, except for some shameless ones, the relatively stable ones, such as "Charlotte" and "Tomato" produced by the Happy Twist Team, have a more distinctive style, or "The Mekong River" where the national team ended. . Most of them are driven by social factors.

Waiting until the next level is basically relying on luck.

Now Li Shixin wants to make his own movies, but with the existing conditions, it is more or less a little bit worse.

At the script level, Li Shixin is not worried at all. For "Only, Love!" "This script, if the full score is 10, Li Shixin can give it 149.

Only at the level of actors, among the temporarily set actors, I, An Xiaoxiao, Xu Ge, Zhang Shuo. It seems that there is really a little bit of gimmick and topicality missing.

"Otherwise, find a little fresh meat to help out?"

On the side, Chen Antang touched his chin and came up with an idea.

"When I was working on "Ling", the godfather, an old drama player, took the lead, and Xiao Xianrou joined the soy sauce, and the effect was quite good."

"You can do it!"

Before he finished speaking, Xu Ge poured a basin of cold water on it.

"Grandpa, this is an investment of three million yuan. Go and see which little fresh meat in the market can afford it?"

Hey? !

Li Shixin slapped his thigh and stood up from the chair.

I have endured you for a long time!

The old man makes a movie, you are so obsessed with it, why didn't you say that you took more than 200 million yuan to make a bad movie, and finally took 70 million yuan at the box office?

Seeing that Li Shixin was going to show off his power, Xu Ge, who had experienced his methods, shuddered instantly.

"Oh? Old man. It seems... there is really a suitable traffic star idle now."

At this moment, Chen Antang on the side grinned, revealing a constipated smile.

"Who is it?"

"You know."

"I know?"

"Still familiar."

"The old man is still very familiar with Xiao Xianrou?"

"Well. It can be said that they have a lot of history."

"Which one?"

"Ahem. Godfather really forgets things too much. Don't you remember how you got into the entertainment industry?"

Vomit?

Seeing the resentment on Chen Antang's face, Li Shixin frowned.

"You mean Liu Xin?"

"Exactly."

Chen Antang nodded deeply.

At the same time, in a villa in Shanghai.

"Hey! Mr. Wang, are you busy recently? Yes, yes, you are studying recently. Do you have time to have a meal together? Ah. Abroad. That's fine, then when you return to China, I will be the host Crooked, crooked? Damn, I haven't finished talking yet!"

Looking at the beeping phone with the busy tone flashing, Liu Xin, who had an unshaven beard and bloodshot eyes, completely lost the style of an idol niche, slapped the table hard.

After taking a few deep breaths, he put on a smiling face again and dialed a phone number again.

"Sister Sun, does Little Fairy have any resources recently? Hehehe, the younger brother recently announced that there is a vacancy, and you can make appointments at any time! Ah, no. It doesn't matter, I can do business shows too! Ah, no .Rich woman, I can do the rich woman's wine game too! Recently, I have enough goji berries."

beep beep.

"Fuck!"

Hearing the busy tone from the other end of the phone again, Liu Xin, who was humbled to the crack of the floor, exploded instantly.

Looking at the calendar on the wall, it was densely marked that three hundred days had passed without exposure, without film appointments, or even ignored by anyone, Liu Xin clenched her fists fiercely.

Standing up from the sofa, he gritted his teeth and walked to a sandbag in the middle of the living room.

On the sandbag, there is a photo.

In the photo, Li Shixin's old face is wearing a deep, mocking smile in Liu Xin's eyes.

"It's been a year, a full year. Do you know how I've lived this year?!"

Boom!

Panting heavily, Liu Xin slammed her fist hard on the photo.

The sandbag was shaking, and the smiling face was shaking too.

Like a ghost, it mocked Liu Xin, who still had two years left in the contract, which also meant that he would be hidden in the snow for another two years.

It was at this moment that the phone on the table rang.

Hearing the phone ring, Liu Xin almost flew to the coffee table!

"Hello!"

As he picked up the phone, a steady voice came from the other side.

"Hello, Mr. Liu. Do you have any schedule recently?"

"Yes! Ah cough cough. The notice in my hand is about to be OK. The schedule is still there. Excuse me."

"It's like this. I have a movie about urban family love here, which lacks a character."

"I can do it! Cough cough, um, what role exactly?"

"To be determined. It's just that your image is more suitable, so I will communicate with you first."

"Okay. Originally, I didn't want to act in urban works. It's too unchallenging. But since it's a role tailor-made for me, if I push it down, it will appear that I, Liu Xin, are playing big names. What? Time to start?"

"Mr. Liu, don't be in a hurry. Let me declare, our film is made at a low cost. Please come, and the film salary can only give you a maximum of 100,000."

"One hundred thousand?! Why don't you go to the Rong store to find a group performer?"

"Are you going to take it?"

"catch!"

Facing the impatient inquiries on the phone, Liu Xin answered without delay.

the other side.

Seeing that Chen Antang was covering the microphone and nodding to himself to indicate that he had taken it, Li Shixin smiled slightly.

"Let him sign the contract first. After the contract is signed, I don't worry about how to play."

Looking at Li Shixin's deep gaze with a trace of playfulness, Xu Ge and Zhang Shuo shuddered violently.

You are always a disaster for someone else!

How can wool be gathered by one person!

At this moment, they were so lost that they began to sympathize with Liu Xin.
