Chapter 246 Double Happiness
While Dong Peiyu was sipping her soup, Hu Xiaoxiao had already finished reading the new contract. Seeing how Dong Peiyu had secured so many benefits for her and done such a great job, she was delighted and said to Dong Peiyu, "With so many screenings scheduled, the box office of 'Feng Yue Jian' will definitely be a big hit. I'll give you a share of the profits as a bonus."
Anyway, Dong Peiyu helped her get an extra 20% of the dividends, and she earned an extra 10% by giving 10% to Dong Peiyu. When Hu Xiaoxiao had money, she was especially generous.
Dong Peiyu was shocked by Hu Xiaoxiao's generosity. She finally understood why Hu Xiaoxiao would spend 1.5 million to make a movie. It turned out that he didn't take money seriously?
At the same time, she had a preliminary understanding of Hu Xiaoxiao's wasteful behavior.
But Dong Peiyu wouldn't refuse. It was money that was delivered to her, so she had no choice but to take it. She felt confident in taking it. "I'll make a few more trips tomorrow."
Since she also gets a share of the profits, she has to work harder to schedule the films, making every penny count.
"Thank you, Sister Dong, for taking care of the rest." Hu Xiaoxiao poured Dong Peiyu another bowl of soup.
Dong Peiyu took it and reminded Hu Xiaoxiao again, "Next time you want to accept a role, you must go through my review. Some small workshops may look good, but they have many pitfalls and cannot be trusted."
"I didn't know Sister Dong before," Hu Xiaoxiao said frankly, "Director Zheng's film was the best resource I could find at the time. The others were not as good as this one."
Although the process is tricky, the quality is impeccable.
Dong Peiyu put down her bowl and told Hu Xiaoxiao about the future development plan. "If the film can be scheduled, the box office of 'The Mirror of Love and Lust' will not be too bad given its quality. If you do a better job of publicity and promotion, the box office may be very impressive. This is your first film, you must achieve excellent results, so that I can help you get the best resources in the future."
Only when you have achievements will you have the confidence to compete with others for resources.
Hu Xiaoxiao nodded, "If Sister Dong needs me, I will do my best to cooperate and fight this battle well."
The two once again reached a consensus on future development and were full of confidence in the future.
Dong Peiyu was busy with the screening schedule of "Feng Yue Jian" every day. After the number of screenings of this movie was increased, the box office revenue increased rapidly.
In the poster of "Feng Yue Jian", Hu Xiaoxiao's fox demon look is so stunning that you can't take your eyes off it. That impeccable and peerless face, coupled with the weird outfit, is the most eye-catching among the posters.
Moviegoers who saw the poster were both amazed by the actress's beauty and puzzled: Who is this new star? How can she be so beautiful and look so familiar? Then, seeing that the lead actress is Hu Xiaoxiao and the title, their excitement suddenly perked up: Best Actress Hu Xiaoxiao is going to the film industry to star in a romantic film? Such a big sacrifice? I heard Hu Xiaoxiao is famous for her good figure!
Thinking they were in for a treat, the audience bought the movie tickets for "Feng Yue Jian" without hesitation. However, they found out that they had been cheated as there was no revealing content at all.
But the quality of the movie is excellent. Although the story is not what everyone likes, the smooth story and the unique aesthetics expressed in the camera still made them watch it involuntarily.
The film was of good quality and had enough gimmicks, so the attendance rate remained high. Seeing this, the cinema immediately increased the screening schedule of "The Dream of Red Mansions".
The box office was getting higher day by day, and in just two days, it reached over a million.
Dong Peiyu finally breathed a sigh of relief and continued to work hard, running around to promote "Feng Yue Jian".
Hu Xiaoxiao was also busy. She dressed up as a fox demon and promoted "Feng Yue Jian" in the largest cinemas in Baogang.
When the movie was finally taken off the shelves, its total box office was nearly 10 million, ranking 20th in the annual box office.
As a newcomer, someone who couldn't be newer, this achievement is already very impressive, not to mention that he missed the precious time of the previous ten days, otherwise the box office could have been boosted further.
This drama not only made Hu Xiaoxiao famous in the film industry, but also made her a lot of money.
Her investment in "Feng Yue Jian" was originally the largest, and her share of the profits was the highest. Later, Dong Peiyu secured an additional 20% for her. After deducting all expenses, Hu Xiaoxiao received the highest return. Furthermore, her appearance in the film, with her face complementing the lipstick so beautifully, drove sales of the same color to a fever pitch. A renowned international cosmetics company immediately asked Hu Xiaoxiao to endorse that particular lipstick, and it sold out instantly.
Hu Xiaoxiao had already taken back the advertising agency rights from the TV station. There were no middlemen to make a profit from the price difference, and Hu Xiaoxiao was very satisfied with the advertising revenue.
Zheng Pingxin was also very satisfied. Although "The Romance of the Condor Heroes" had many twists and turns, it was not only successfully released but also profitable. Although he earned much less than Hu Xiaoxiao, he finally made money. He happily gave a big red envelope to Dong Peiyu, who had been running around for him, to thank her for her help. Without Dong Peiyu, his film would have flopped again.
Dong Peiyu never had a problem with money and accepted the red envelope from Zheng Pingxin, but she still had a bad impression of him. Money could be discussed, but there was no need to talk about filming his movies in the future.
The success of "The Mirror of Romance" not only made Hu Xiaoxiao famous, but also led subsequent films to go astray, causing the originally normal titles to all be changed to sound like erotic films or pornographic films, defrauding the audience of a lot of money.
The result is predictable: the product is not what was advertised, and too much is as bad as too little. Especially since the quality of the movie is not good, it leads to extreme disgust among the audience. Later, no one even watched serious pornographic movies, which led to pornographic movies having to be given serious names to attract non-serious audiences.
Hu Xiaoxiao made a lot of money at the box office and had another happy event: she was moving to a new house.
Double happiness.
After several years of development by the Xie family, Tiancuicheng has already been developed more than halfway, with six phases completed. Currently, Tiancuicheng's facilities are mostly complete, with both commercial and residential areas fully equipped.
Especially after the subway and roads were completed, the flow of people increased greatly.
The three-story office building that the Xie family gave to Hu Xiaoxiao has all been rented out, which shows that the development of this area is really booming.
Dong Peiyu came to help with the move. It was not her first time to come to Hu Xiaoxiao's residence, but it was her first time entering Hu Xiaoxiao's cloakroom. She was stunned to see the room full of trophies.
The shelves are filled with brand-name clothes, shoes, bags, and the two large shelves of jewelry are so dazzling that they are blinding.
"You bought it? Why are there so many jewelries?" Dong Peiyu was extremely shocked. These jewelries were not only beautiful, but also very valuable. There were not only diamond jewelries, but also jewelries made of various gemstones, as well as jade bracelets and jade pendants with excellent water content that were difficult to buy.
