After returning from the studio, Xiao He continued to work on his final thesis defense, while the box office of the film "Killing Life" continued to grow slowly after the May Day holiday, eventually settling at 1.8 billion yuan.
This completely exceeded everyone's expectations. After all, this type of film has a limited audience. It is not an action film or comedy film that is currently popular in the market, nor is it a suspenseful and mind-bending film. Being able to exceed 1 billion yuan in box office is already a huge success. For everyone who initially estimated that the box office would only be around 700 million yuan, it was like a windfall.
The crew's group chat was filled with joy for two or three days. On the day Xiao He successfully completed his defense, he went to attend the crew's celebration banquet.
As a key contributor to this publicity effort, Xiao He was given a celebratory banquet specially arranged by Hou Rongxuan after his defense.
It's no exaggeration to say that the film crew really benefited from Xiao He's influence on the box office. However, of course, gold shines wherever it is, and Xiao He's influence only added fuel to the fire. What truly draws more viewers to the cinema is the quality of the work itself.
At the banquet, Xiao He sincerely raised his glass to express his heartfelt gratitude to Hou Rongxuan.
Hou Rongxuan's face was flushed from drinking, and even his usually balding dandelion hair seemed much thicker than before. He looked at Xiao He with a very gentle gaze and couldn't stop praising him: "Xiao Xiao, you don't need to be modest. In all my years as a director, I've never misjudged anyone. You'll definitely go far in the future!"
Xiao He smiled and said, "Thank you, Director Hou. I also wish you great success at the box office in the future!"
The entire crew arrived today. Even Bao Wei, who had already joined the crew, and Zhuo Jianhua, who had returned to Beijing, came over. Xiao He even saw Li Hanyue, whom he hadn't seen in a long time.
Li Hanyue was wearing a beige shirt dress, and her face still held the same bright smile that Xiao He had when they first met.
It seems that the shadow of that incident has faded from the girl's heart.
Upon seeing Xiao He, Li Hanyue also took the initiative to walk over with a wine glass: "Brother Xiao, I said last time that I would definitely treat you to a drink, but I didn't expect it to be delayed until now. I'll punish myself with a drink."
Before Xiao He could say anything, Li Hanyue drank the wine in her cup in one gulp.
Seeing this, Xiao He also raised his wine glass and drank a cup, saying, "I am very happy to see that you are doing well."
Li Hanyue smiled and pursed her lips: "I went on a trip a while ago and saw a lot of different scenery along the way. Suddenly I felt that there was no need for those things that hadn't happened yet to become my inner demons, so I came back and made everyone worry."
"It's great that you think that way." Xiao He looked around. "It's just a pity that Brother Zehang isn't here, otherwise he would be happy for you too."
Li Hanyue nodded, then sighed, "I just don't know when I'll be able to see Brother Zehang again..."
Almost everyone in the crew attended the celebration banquet, except for Liu Zehang, who had been actively involved in all the previous events.
This story begins with Liu Zehang's idiot agent.
As mentioned before, Liu Zehang's agency is eager for him to transition to the traffic-driven track and develop him into a new generation representative who possesses both popularity and acting skills.
When "Killing Life" became a hit and sold well at the box office, Liu Zehang's agent did something very foolish in order to take advantage of the opportunity to help Liu Zehang attract a wave of popularity and traffic - he marketed Liu Zehang's character "Zhu Lao Er" on the entire Internet.
Of course, they were very restrained in their marketing at first, only marketing the three Zhu brothers as the "Rongtou Butcher Iron Triangle".
