After work is over, everyone goes back to their homes.

Xu Xin didn't take Brother Ji's Porsche, but got into Liu Yifei's Mercedes-Benz.

It was really hot in Los Angeles. As soon as he got in the car, the sweltering heat combined with the fragrance in the car made him roll his eyes.

I quickly closed the window and lit a cigarette.

Liu Yifei didn't mind. She started the car, turned the air conditioner to the maximum, said hello to the Porsche twice, and drove out.

Then I noticed Xu Xin who put the seat back.

"tired?"

"I'm tired. My body is exhausted from the heat."

Xu Xin put down the sun visor to block the sun and squinted his eyes.

"What did you say about it?"

"The talks were pretty good. But they insisted on me starring in the joint venture film, saying... the Korean market would be opened for me or something like that."

“Why do you want the Korean market?”

"That's right. And didn't you tell me to let me try to take control of my own autonomy? Now I'm faced with a dilemma."

"What?"

"The remuneration offered by China is extremely high..."

"How many?"

"I haven't said it yet, but the box office share is very high. 10% of the net income."

"Net gain?"

"right."

Xu Xin was actually not particularly surprised.

This is net income, not total box office.

To put it bluntly, if a movie has a box office of 100 million and a revenue of 40 million, 10% is only 4 million.

In the past two years, Fei Xianer's career has continued to rise, whether it is "Perfect" or the "Four Famous Catchers" series...

Although he also felt that "Famous Catchers" was not good to watch, it could not stand up to its high box office.

The combined box office revenue of the three films is a lot of money.

Since "The King of Kung Fu" that year, she has once again proved her box office appeal and international popularity... and this is not even "The Hawthorn Tree".

Again.

There are only a few female stars with box office appeal in China.

One carrot and one pit.

If you want to catch a cockroach, can you do it without making a nest?

but……

"I still say that actors should only focus on the script. Excellent story, excellent role, excellent director... Hey, this is indeed too idealistic."

Xu Xin didn't even finish saying this before he denied it himself.

Because this thing itself is a paradox.

This is also the reason why there is such a strong sense of separation between the new generation actors and the older generation actors.

For the older generation of actors, acting is a job and a task, but it is not a market demand.

For today's new generation of actors, acting and entertainment are synonymous.

There is demand in the market, businessmen pursue profits, and profits are found from the audience.

How to sell "goods" is the first priority.

To put it bluntly, finding actors with strong box office appeal for a work is like a sales advertisement in itself.

Advertisements are advertisements. As for the efficacy... you will only know it once the product is actually launched. However, the cost of advertising shooting must be paid in advance.

This logical relationship is naturally contrary to the traditional path of an actor in Xu Xin's perception.

After hearing his words, Liu Yifei said:

"I understand what you mean. So I plan to have a producer from the factory when the time comes. What do you think?"

"Help you supervise this show?"

"No, I have to find someone to help me supervise the quality of every drama I play in the future. Otherwise, I won't be at ease, don't you think?"

"Then you might as well work with a reliable director."

"Brother, come on, look for me. How many directors in this circle are knowledgeable and reliable?"

Xu Xin suddenly fell silent.

really.

The same story is interpreted differently by different directors.

Some people take good pictures, and some people take bad pictures.

Unless it is a particularly strong director,... no one knows how a story will turn out until the director comes up with the finished film.

"call……"

He puffed out a puff of smoke and threw the cigarette butt carelessly onto the American road.

Raise the window and feel the coolness gradually.

He nodded:

"It's up to you."

"Well... speaking of your heroine..."

"You'll know then."

When this was brought up, Xu Xin, who felt guilty for no reason, quickly changed the topic.

Then he yawned and fell silent.

His eyes went dark, and when he opened them again, he had already arrived home.

"Dad~~"

When the two children saw him entering the house, they ran over directly.

Not to mention... As the children grow older, every time I see their happy and carefree appearance, the fatigue always dissipates very quickly.

Especially when there is a young woman wearing an apron and holding a frying spoon standing next to her...

The taste is really unforgettable.

"You're back...how's it going?"

"It's okay, it went pretty smoothly."

Xu Xin nodded, took out the memory card, and came to the TV at home.

He wanted to see the action video footage provided by Masayan's team.

Waiting for dinner.

And Liu Yifei didn't notice anything. After taking out two bottles of ice water from the refrigerator, she stood next to the sofa and waited with Xu Xin for the video to load.

Yang Mi also came over.

Soon, with the operation of the card reader, several video files came out on the TV.

Xu Xin clicked on one...

Two minutes later, he was kicked into the video room.

There is no other way. Who is a good person who can watch the bloody scenes with blood everywhere and white knives coming in and red knives coming out in front of the children?

As the "heroine" Liu Yifei also joined in.

Sitting on the sofa, she nodded:

"Yes, this is the film and television clip of "The Raid". There is actually very little plot in the whole film, mainly these action scenes. And in the second part, there is also a section that imitates the Thai one... "Boxer"? Have you seen it?

?”

"The Tony Jaa one?"

"Yes, the scene where Tony Jaa climbs the stairs to the end, there is that scene in the second part, it is also very bloody, but it hurts to watch it..."

But Xu Xin looked at the shots of those punches in the camera, and said with a bit of amazement in his eyes:

"Don't tell me...this action scene was shot really well."

"Well. "Black Belt" magazine rated the action scenes of these two movies very highly...and didn't you notice, they shot it closer to reality. I haven't seen this kind of scale in a domestic movie for a long time.
To be continued...
