Chapter 897 893 Perfect Premiere

Chapter 897 893. Perfect Premiere

This idea has actually been swirling in Xu Xin's mind for many days.

The reason why I thought of this is also very simple, because the profit is too great.

Think about it, a 30 million investment.

But in exchange for it, the return is at least tenfold.

One year, tenfold return.

This is not a scam, but real money in your pocket.

How do you say that? 200% profit can allow capitalists to trample all laws?

Xu Xin asked himself, if he were an investment company, he would definitely focus on this.

After all, compared to those industries that invest tens of millions and may only see returns in three to five years, the film and television drama industry is simply a big blue ocean of good news!

Those external investors in the past...maybe it was because the first-generation coal boss sadly left the market?

It may also be that the plates of domestic films are too small for them to appreciate.

Moreover, as he followed Lao Wang in investing in the past two years, Xu Xin actually discovered something.

When it comes to investing... what investors care about is not how much you spend on your project, but where the money is spent.

He asked himself, like chasing the light in his own hand.

If he spends 100 million, 200 million, or even 300 million to add new equipment or something, it will definitely not hurt him.

But if... he was asked to spend hundreds of millions of investments, but Yang Wenjie, Xu Jian and others had to take it away out of thin air... not to mention more, but take one-third as his "salary", then he would definitely not be able to accept it. .

And isn’t this the case in the film industry?

The 10 million investment, maybe 4 to 5 million is the remuneration for the actors.

He doesn't know if these investment banks really think the same as him, but... the salary in the film industry is indeed a gap that you can't see or get out of your money.

But...all these restrictions can actually be ignored under the high profits.

The success of "囧囧" proves one thing from the side, that is, the audience's acceptance of domestic films is indeed growing every year.

Coming in at this time is definitely the most appropriate time!

He didn't know whether he was right or wrong in thinking so. But my intuition tells me that "囧囧" is such an opportunity in the eyes of the outside world.

And if this is really the case...what will this circle look like under the impact of external capital?

Hard to say.

Even good or bad cannot be judged.

This was something he couldn't figure out these days.

But looking at Liu Yifei's confused look, Xu Xin knew that it was useless to talk to her.

So he waved his hand:

"Let's go after watching this. Let's go eat."

Take care of yourself first before worrying about others.

he thought to himself.

…

2012 is almost over.

This year...Xu Xin rated himself as okay.

Neither good nor bad.

He didn't know if it was a problem with his mentality. He always felt that... nothing happened that could make his mood particularly fluctuating this year.

Overall, it can be considered stable.

And he thought that 2012 would end like this... Unexpectedly, on December 30, he received a message.

Sent by Zhang Mo.

"Zhang Weiping is out and has gone home."

When he received the news, he was having lunch with friends, enjoying the winter scenery of the Apennine Peninsula.

And converted, the time in China is around 6 pm.

After seeing this message, he narrowed his eyes and asked:

"Has he contacted Director Zhang?"

"Zhang Jing called my dad to go home for dinner and said he was back. My dad said he was in Wuxi and hung up the phone without asking anything about the situation."

"What's going on with Zhang Weiping now?"

"I don't know. But I asked my dad and he didn't plan to go. Because he asked Zhang Jing for the salary for "Three Guns" but Zhang Jing didn't give it. My dad was very angry."

"...The remuneration hasn't been paid yet?"

"without."

"Okay... let's not worry about Zhang Weiping's affairs, just don't bother with him."

"Okay, as long as you know this."

"OK."

After the two communicated, just in time, Jasmine brought up the wine.

Xu Xin raised the red wine glass with a smile, and everyone clinked a glass together.

After taking a sip of wine, he let out a sigh of relief.

"call……"

Looking at the red wine rippling in the glass like rubies, he asked himself another question in his mind:

"So...what's next?"

No one answered.

I don’t know.

Puzzled.

I don’t want to guess either.

I guess it won't take long... to find out, right?

…

New Year's Day.

All was calm.

Xu Xin is in Europe, and Yang Mi returns to Yanjing.

In fact, after she finished promoting in Europe, she could reunite with Xu Xin.

But considering the children... the couple decided to separate.

The New Year celebrations in Italy are actually quite interesting. Although Xu Xin stayed in a hotel, he heard the sound of something breaking outside in the middle of the night.

At first he thought it was fireworks, but then he realized something was wrong.

After opening the window and going to the balcony, a teacup fell down just above my head.

He was suddenly speechless.

Do you think this person is sick?

Unexpectedly, I immediately heard many people throwing cups and bowls.

Then, just after 12 o'clock, the sound of fireworks and firecrackers started.

Puzzled, he didn't realize until New Year's Day that it turned out to be other people's customs.

Throwing an old plate or bowl into the New Year symbolizes letting go of the past and working hard to achieve a new outlook in the New Year. The sound of the fragments drives away evil spirits and expresses all the joy of the new year.

How about you guys set off a firecracker?

With speechlessness, 2012 comes to an end.

Outside the window, he looked at the gorgeous fireworks in the sky. He was waiting for the New Year's Eve and picked up the wine glass on the table.

"Hello 2013."

"See you in 2012."

2013 is here.

…

New year new life.

"Perfect Strangers" will premiere on January 3rd at 8pm Italian time.

As is the Italian tradition, the crew will also be present at the first premiere.

As a result, all the leading actors and crew members appeared in the first screening room of the Odeon Cinema in Italy.

To be honest, although Jasmine is among the new generation of actors, she belongs to a group of people who are recognized for their superb acting skills.

People who can serve as Cannes judges at a young age are certainly not ordinary people.

But in the Italian film and television industry, she is actually not very popular.

They are loved by film critics and sought after by the industry, but in terms of popularity, they are not as popular as those movie stars who rely on their appearance or a certain work to gain huge popularity at once.

This can be seen from the scale of promotion of "Perfect Strangers".

Many others are like this too.

So, according to the crew this time, everyone just needs to be normal.

The presence of the crew at the premiere is a tradition of local Italian films, and it is not new to the audience.

But it turns out... they underestimated the popularity of this movie.

In other words, the popularity of Xu Xin and Liu Yifei was underestimated.

"Ah!!! Liu Yifei!!!"

When the crew's vehicle arrived at the entrance of the cinema, Xu Xin and Liu Yifei heard cheers as soon as they got out of the car.

He has less.

Liu Yifei has more.

And look at both sides of the road...

Xu Xin was happy.

"Our compatriots should give them face."

He said to Liu Yifei, who was wearing a simple long skirt.

Liu Yifei smiled without showing her teeth:

"Um."

At this moment, there are basically Chinese faces on both sides of the road.

And mostly young people.

Probably an international student...

At first glance, there were at least one or two hundred people.

There are... quite a few of these people.

After glancing behind him and seeing that everyone was following him, he took the lead and walked into the cinema.

At this time, after seeing the signature books that everyone was waving, Xu Xin still planned to go over and sign them out of habit.

But I just took two steps...

"Xu Gou! No! It's not you! I want Liu Yifei!"

"...???"

"????"

Not to mention Xu Xin, several people around him were also stunned when they heard this girl's movements.

No, eldest sister...

It’s okay to just talk nonsense online.

Are you so brave in reality?

After Xu Xin came to his senses, he said in a dumbfounded voice:

"Can you just let me sign it? Please."

"Hahahahaha..."

Seeing his humble appearance, everyone around him laughed.

Of course, it's all just a joke.

He didn't mind either. This girl didn't want him to sign it, but someone else did.

After taking the book, he began to sign and asked:

"Have you all bought your tickets?"

"bought."

"Xu Gou, I'm from Milan, and I came here specially to support you!"

"I've been looking forward to it for a long time...can we take a photo together?"

A group of people made various requests, and Xu Xin tried his best to satisfy them.

But...he never competed with Liu Yifei.

When he was almost done signing, the fairy sister was still surrounded by people.

Fine.

After all, you are a compatriot who has come from afar. If you are so supportive, you must not lose your place here.

After a full five or six minutes, Liu Yifei got away, waved to everyone, and everyone walked into the cinema together. They met and exchanged greetings with several people from the distributor, and finally everyone sat in the first row together.

Not long after, the audience entered the venue.

This time everyone abided by the rules tacitly.

Even if he saw it, he just said hello and then started to find his seat.

Odeon Cinema is a separate cinema, not integrated with a shopping mall.

It is one of the oldest cinemas in Rome.

The facilities are not new, but they can be linked to "art".

The hall is not particularly large. This hall can only accommodate 350 people.

Xu Xin turned around and took a look before the movie started.

It was found that... Chinese accounted for at least half of the population.

Among foreigners, there are not many people who hold small notebooks... I guess they are film critics, right?

At this time, he heard Liu Yifei next to him say:

"I suddenly felt a little nervous..."

Withdrawing his gaze, Xu Xin glanced at her and shook his head:

"No, you have to believe in yourself...Besides, if you don't believe in yourself, you should also believe in me."

"……Um."

It seemed that Xu Xin's confidence had infected her.

She nodded and took a deep breath:

"Huh... okay. Then... let's do our best?"

Looking at her raised fist, Xu Xin rolled his eyes:

"childish."

"hurry up!"

"……come on."

Two fists, one big and one small, bumped lightly.

Then it was transmitted.

Soon, everyone in the first row felt each other's expectations from each other's fists.

And just at this moment...

"Click."

The lights gradually dimmed slowly.

The movie was about to start.

When the title passed directly, the movie officially began with the sound of "Cosimo" humming a song.

An Italian female voice could be clearly heard in the background.

The camera followed Cosimo who was changing clothes.

When everyone was still guessing where Liu Yifei was... Liu Yifei, holding a phone and with short hair, walked into the bathroom in the camera while talking.

At this time, Xu Xin heard the exclamation of "Wow".

No need to think, it must be from the Chinese.

After all... at least in this movie, Liu Yifei's Italian accent is really authentic.

When Eduardo in the camera hugged Liu Yifei from behind, Xu Xin heard a few small screams.

"Ah!!"

"Ah!"

"..."

Obviously, the "large scale" of the fairy sister caused many people to exclaim.

"Ha~"

Xu Xin chuckled.

In the darkness, Liu Yifei rolled her eyes at him after hearing his chuckle.

"What are you laughing at?"

Hearing this, Xu Xin whispered:

"I heard the sound of a broken heart."

"...Psychopath!"

"Ha~"

As he joked, the story progressed little by little.

And then 87 minutes later, with the close-up of the moonlight on the camera, the whole film ended.

The lights came on.

Several leading actors, including Xu Xin, stood up together and walked towards the stage below the screen.

As they walked, applause began to appear.

At first, it was one person.

Alone.

But, it only took two or three steps.

The lonely applause turned into a continuous ocean.

"Hua La La La La..."

In the applause, everyone, including Xu Xin, also began to smile little by little.

In the end, it formed a roar that echoed in the theater.

Clap for them.

Clap for the movie "Perfect Stranger"!

Amid the applause, Xu Xin stretched his head and looked at the expressions on the faces of the other people standing in a row.

And everyone responded to him with a satisfied smile.

Including Liu Yifei.

The worries before the movie started completely disappeared.

Seeing this, Xu Xin looked at the audience again.

He found that everyone was applauding, especially the audience in China, who seemed to be clapping very hard!

Even a few meters away, you can feel their excitement.

Xu Xin was happy.

"Ha~"

Other audiences from all over Italy can't help but think about it.

For now... at least, he didn't disappoint these compatriots who came from afar.

Report the results. The gastroenteroscopy was done this morning, and the results are not out yet. But the physical examination showed that the uric acid level was 760, which is already the stage of taking medicine for treatment. Then there is high blood lipids and damaged liver function, which needs to be regulated. I will make an appointment with the endocrinology department of the Chinese medicine hospital tomorrow, so I will update a little bit in the next few days.
