Chapter 270: Not even letting Aunt Fifteen go (Please subscribe to support!)
…
Letting Irina, Marina and Anna, who cannot understand Chinese and cannot read Chinese subtitles, watch "The Grandmaster" was actually just for fun.
Fortunately, "The Grandmaster" was starred by Xu Kai, and Irina, Marina and Anna, who had never seen a movie before, found the movie theater a novel place they had never been to. In addition, junk food such as popcorn, cola, and ice cream tasted pretty good, so they were quite happy to "watch" the movie.
Sitting in the cinema watching the movie he himself made, Xu Kai really felt a different kind of mood.
To be honest, for a moment Xu Kai couldn't even tell whether he was Xu Kai or Huang Feihong.
Of course, for Xu Kai, who is mentally extremely mature, this kind of confusion that actors often have is just a matter of a moment.
"You are Xu Kai, not Huang Feihong. Huang Feihong is a great hero who is devoted to his Thirteenth Aunt. He remained calm even when his Fourteenth Aunt threw herself at him. But you, you may not even let go of your Fifteenth Aunt."
After finding himself, Xu Kai remembered Yuan Xiaoliang and Xu Wenguang’s suggestion to shoot "The Grandmaster 2".
The Grandmaster was a box office hit.
There is no need to say much about how Yuan Xiaoliang, Xu Wenguang and other related investors made huge profits.
Take Xu Kai for example. This time, Xu Kai made a lot of money again.
Domestic movie box office of 580 million!
Just from the box office share, Xu Kai, who holds a 15% stake in the production company of "The Grandmaster", can get 87 million.
Plus the 15 million that Xu Kai had taken in advance.
Adding these two items together, Xu Kai made a net profit of more than 100 million.
And that’s not all. Even if the platform only sells it for 500 million, Xu Kai will still get 37.5 million.
In addition, the theme song of "The Grandmaster", "A Man Should Be Self-reliant", was written, composed and sung by Xu Kai, and the soundtrack of "The Grandmaster" was also composed by Xu Kai.
At that time, Xu Kai did not discuss the money with Yuan Xiaoliang and Xu Wenguang, and just said that they would talk about it later.
Now that "The Grandmaster" is selling well, Yuan Xiaoliang and Xu Wenguang will have to give Xu Kai a red envelope of at least 10 million yuan.
There are also overseas box office and so on.
All things added up, even if "The Grandmaster" doesn't make Xu Kai earn 200 million, it won't be far off.
It can be said that Xu Kai had a very pleasant collaboration with Yuan Xiaoliang and Xu Wenguang this time.
Of course, this is not the point.
The point is, for "The Grandmaster 2", Yuan Xiaoliang and Xu Wenguang no longer plan to pay Xu Kai a salary, but want to give Xu Kai 30% of the shares of the production company.
This can also be said to be the cleverness of Yuan Xiaoliang and Xu Wenguang.
Today, Xu Kai's worth has skyrocketed, with his pay being as high as 100 million Chinese yuan for each movie - this is what Xu Kai asked Yang Xinchun to report for him, with the main purpose of blocking the endless stream of people who want to find Xu Kai to film.
Although every movie Xu Kai made made a lot of money, any movie company that paid 100 million to hire a star to make a movie would definitely take a huge risk. After all, what if it was their turn and the movie failed at the box office? The key point is that even if many movie companies offered Xu Kai 100 million yuan, he would not necessarily go.
Hey, don’t think Xu Kai is crazy.
With a lot of movie ideas in his mind, Xu Kai doesn't have to worry about not having any movies to shoot or not making money.
Therefore, even if Xu Kai was offered a salary of 100 million yuan, he would first look at the script and the main creative staff, and also check whether he had the time.
In short, Xu Kai is not only extremely valuable now, but also very picky. It is not an easy task to invite Xu Kai to make a movie.
Yuan Xiaoliang and Xu Wenguang, who had been testing Xu Kai's attitude towards "The Grandmaster 2" for a long time, already knew this.
Therefore, Yuan Xiaoliang and Xu Wenguang simply pulled Xu Kai onto their chariot, and everyone divided the profits in proportion, so that no one would suffer a loss.
But the Xu Kai of now is no longer the Xu Kai of before.
Since the films in which Xu Kai participated, such as "Escape", "Perfect Lovers", "Ten Miles of Foreign Lands" and "The Grandmaster", were all big hits, Yuan Xiaoliang and Xu Wenguang gave Xu Kai another 15% of the production share, which meant they didn't want the plan to succeed.
Therefore, Yuan Xiaoliang and Xu Wenguang gritted their teeth and gave Xu Kaikai 30% of the production share of "The Grandmaster 2" as Xu Kai's remuneration.
I have to say that Yuan Xiaoliang and Xu Wenguang are really sincere.
Moreover, Xu Kai had already read the script of "The Grandmaster: A Man Should Be Self-reliant" written by Xu Wenguang, and the script was very well written.
In addition, Yuan Xiaoliang and Xu Wenguang are playing bigger and bigger - while trying to keep the original lineup unchanged, they are even planning to invite Zhen Yuzhou to play opposite Xu Kai, hoping to create a peak showdown.
Let’s put it this way, Grandmaster 2 has very good conditions in all aspects.
On the other hand, the longest-running film, "The Empress of China", has finally been completed, and there are only a few scenes left for "The Chase". As for composing the music for "The Empress of China" and "The Chase", for Xu Kai, it is just like a piece of cake.
In other words, Xu Kai now only has one show left, "Happy Comedian", which he is about to record.
With Xu Kai's superb energy and strong time management ability, it is almost the same as if he is out of work now.
Therefore, Xu Kai was ready to agree to Yuan Xiaoliang and Xu Wenguang and take on "The Grandmaster 2".
Watching the foreigners in the movie showing off their power to the Chinese, Xu Kai couldn't help but think of the humiliating history during the Eight-Nation Alliance period.
Immediately afterwards, Xu Kai discovered that there were three foreigners around him.
Xu Kai couldn't help but think: "Isn't this also a way of bringing glory to my country and avenging my nation?"
Just then, Xu Kai's cell phone suddenly rang.
Taking out his cell phone, Xu Kai couldn't help but exclaimed "Huh!" The call was actually from Fan Linglong's "sister Fan Zuizui".
"Why did she call me?"
With deep doubts, Xu Kai answered the phone nonchalantly, then said with a smile: "Hey~ Zui Zui, why did you think of calling me?"
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a long time. When Xu Kai almost couldn't help asking Su Zui, "Are you still there?", Su Zui asked in a calm tone, "Are you still in Shanghai?"
"?"
Although Su Zui had tried his best to control himself, Xu Kai, who was good at listening and observing, could still immediately hear something wrong in Su Zui's tone.
"Something must have happened to her."
With this judgment, Xu Kai immediately sat up straight, and then said in a deep voice: "I'm still in the Magic City. What happened to you? Do you need me to come over?"
After another moment of silence, Su Zui said, "I'll be getting off the highway in about half an hour. Come pick me up."
After saying that, Su Zui hung up the phone.
Xu Kai immediately realized that something must have happened, otherwise Su Zui would not be like this.
Xu Kai quickly sent Tie Liang to take Irina, Marina, and Anna back to Yang Xinchun and Yang Xindong's old house, and then took Ding Ergou, Li Dongsheng and other bodyguards to the highway intersection to pick up Su Zui...
