Chapter 192 Asking for Money

Sun Mingxin praised him, and several guests also exclaimed in admiration. Although his emotions were a bit exaggerated, judging from the works and achievements Xu Rui has made since his debut, they still believed in what Sun Mingxin said.

After the first episode was broadcast, the barrage was full of "first-time CP". Although the second season had good ratings, judging from the previous episodes, it is difficult to see such an influential CP combination again.

Yang Hui also understood that the appearance of Xu Rui and Yan Ran was a rare opportunity. Forcing it with a script might backfire. The content of the program so far still maintains the style of the first season.

After the party, Xu Rui and Yan Ran returned home and met with friends. They were in a good mood and didn't feel sleepy. The two sat on the sofa, looking for the movies or programs they wanted to watch, and chatting quietly.

"I didn't expect Yao Xuedong to be so efficient. He has already arranged the wedding." Xu Rui asked Yan Ran in her ear, "What about you? Are you in a hurry?"

"I won't tell you." Yan Ran poked his chest with her hand, "You have to guess, speculate, and judge this matter. Can you ask directly!"

"Oh, then there is no hurry." Xu Rui said easily.

As soon as he finished speaking, Yan Ran reached out and hit him.

Xu Rui smiled and said, "You were exposed as soon as you cheated. I understand!"

"I don't know what you understand." Yan Ran ignored him and searched with the remote control. Her eyes lit up, "The Conjuring is on, and neither of us went to the cinema to watch it."

"Forget it." Xu Rui helped Luo Jingchuan promote it on Weibo at that time. At that time, his schedule was tight and Yan Ran was also busy, so they didn't go to the cinema to watch it.

However, he looked at Douya's rating, which was 7.8, which was a very good score for a horror movie. It had a box office of 60 million yuan in China, and with the overseas box office, it must have made a lot of money, and still maintained Luo Jingchuan's image of making a steady profit in shooting low-cost films.

"Are you scared?" Yan Ran asked, and she had already pressed the play button, and directly hugged Xu Rui's arm to prevent him from running away.

Xu Rui was helpless: "I told you this story, what am I afraid of!"

"That's hard to say." Yan Ran smiled, leaned against Xu Rui, and read with relish.

Xu Rui looked at her, raised the corner of his mouth: "Let go first."

"What are you going to do, don't run." Yan Ran didn't let him go.

"No, I'll turn off the lights." Xu Rui raised three fingers, "I swear!"

"Turn off the lights, I'll go, you sit here!"

"I told you I won't run."

"I don't believe you." Yan Ran let go of Xu Rui, ran to turn off the lights, and jumped back on the sofa, "Let's see who's the coward now!"

"Whatever you want." Xu Rui was not afraid at all, and the two of them stared at the Conjuring with eyes wide open.

She was so absorbed in watching that she didn't notice the door next to her open. Du Xiao yawned and walked out of it, asking, "Are you watching a movie? There's still acid in the refrigerator..."

She just wanted to get a box of yogurt, but she didn't expect to catch up with the horror plot. All her sleepiness was scared away, and a scream resounded through the room: "Ah!!!"

Xu Rui and Yan Ran were not scared by the movie, but they were scared by Du Xiao.

Yan Ran reminded her, "If you scream upstairs and downstairs again, the police should be called."

"Maybe they have already called." Xu Rui complained on the side.

Du Xiao came back to her senses, put her hand on her chest to calm down, and scolded harshly, "You guys turned off the lights to watch horror movies? Can't you do something romantic?"

"For example?" Xu Rui asked deliberately.

"Do I need to teach you?" Du Xiao angrily took a box of yogurt from the refrigerator and went back to the room.

Just when Xu Rui and Yan Ran were about to continue watching, she came out again, turned on the light, and sat on the sofa: "Now when I close my eyes, I can only see the scene just now. You have to pay for my sleepiness!"

Xu Rui looked at Yan Ran: "How about pausing first, and the three of us playing Monopoly together?"

"Okay." Yan Ran nodded.

Du Xiao urged: "Yes, what horror movie, turn it off quickly, hurry up."

...

After a short break for a week, Xu Rui and Yan Ran began the preparatory work for "Fist of Fury".

During the day, go to the location, just as shopping and leisure, at night make a list of actors to be invited. This time, you can't go around Taobao to find a bargain, you have to spend money when you have to spend money.

During this period, the sales share of the album has been received one after another, which has greatly enriched Xu Rui's small treasury. However, after all, he has been in the industry for too short a time and has received few notices. His current income still cannot support the cost of a movie of tens of millions.

There are ways. One is to wait a little longer, wait for him to save some more money, and wait for the funds to be recovered after the release of "Lost on Journey", which will probably take more than half a year. The second is to attract investment. There are investors who do not interfere with the filming of the film, but there are not many, and it is a little difficult to find.

After thinking about it, Xu Rui took the script home. After all, it was different from before. This time he could be very tough when asking for money.

Xu Anjiang was also surprised by his sudden return.

Calling Xu Rui to the study, Xu Anjiang asked: "What's the matter?"

Xu Rui said: "Can't it be that I miss you and come back to see you?"

"You?" Xu Anjiang raised his eyebrows, and the three words "I don't believe it" were written on his face.

"Sure enough, I can't hide it from you." Xu Rui admitted readily.

This time it was Xu Anjiang's turn to be speechless. Why did he feel so bad in his heart, this bastard!

Xu Rui stopped beating around the bush and explained, "Yan Ran and I are planning to make a movie, and we don't want other investors to tell us what to do. Can you invest in us?"

Xu Anjiang habitually entered the education mode: "How to get along with investors, how to make investors trust you and listen to you is also a kind of ability, you..."

"Stop!" Xu Rui took out the script and put it on the table, "I just don't want to focus on fighting for power with others. If I wait a little longer, with my current ability, I don't need other people's investment. The reason why I want to shoot it now, not because I am eager for quick success, but because my grandpa reminded me and let me know what I can do, and I hope to let him see it as soon as possible. After reading the script, let me know if you want to vote for it. gone back."

"Let's go." Xu Anjiang didn't stop him. He looked at the words "Jingwu Heroes" on the script and fell into deep thought.

As a result, as soon as he picked up the script, Ji Menglin came in: "Why don't you eat at home? Are you lecturing him again? How old is he? When you come back, you will lecture him endlessly. He doesn't want to lose face." Ah, let me tell you, your son has a lot of fans now, and he will definitely spray you if he finds out!"

Xu Anjiang was left speechless by his wife's last sentence. He is not a nobody, either. Are celebrity artists and entrepreneurs like him on the same level?

"I'm not nagging..." Xu Anjiang tried to defend and thought about it, "Okay, I'll say less about him in the future."

After coaxing his wife away, he sat down again and opened the script of "Fist of Heroes".
