Huayu: Starting from intercepting Duan Yu

Chapter 164: Liu Yifei releases an album, Chen the sensible godfather (900 average subscriptions plus more!)
"Crazy Stone" has grossed over 2000 million yuan in just half a month!

["Crazy Stone" became the box office champion of domestic films in the first half of the year! ]

[The low-budget comedy film becomes a dark horse again! ]

"Crazy Stone" director Ning Hao is on a nationwide roadshow, and the person he's most grateful to is Xu Yi!

【Andy missed the opportunity to invest in Ning Hao! 】

When Xu Yi returned to China, "Crazy Stone" had just been released for half a month.

The box office also exceeded 2000 million.

It not only became the highest-grossing domestic film in the first half of the year.

It also far exceeded the original box office of this movie in Xu Yi's previous life.

Xu Yi remembered that in his previous life, the total box office of this movie seemed to be just over 2000 million.

But this is normal.

Otherwise, you really think he is so popular, it must be a joke!

Perhaps apart from his crazy fans, few people would buy tickets to the cinema just because of his publicity.

But just focus on this movie.

In addition, "Crazy Stone" is indeed a good movie in itself.

That's why the box office is so much higher than the previous life.

This is also why in Xu Yi’s previous life, everyone knew that traffic stars could not carry the box office.

But we still have to spend a lot of money to invite traffic stars.

Because of the traffic stars, there is attention.

The pay of a traffic star is equivalent to the publicity fee of the movie.

Moreover, a film salary of tens of millions can sometimes even achieve a publicity effect of hundreds of millions.

It’s not the traffic stars’ fault that those movies failed.

At least not entirely.

But there is something wrong with the movie itself!

For example, the "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" starring Xu Ke in Xu Yi's previous life was indeed a box office flop.

But can we blame the traffic stars?

Even if there are no traffic stars, based on the quality, it is bound to fail!
The box office may even be lower!
It wouldn’t have received so much attention before it was released!

Ning Hao, stimulated by the box office success, is now full of energy.

The roadshow was completed in more than ten cities before the movie was released.

Even after the movie was released, the roadshow did not stop.

Every day I am either on the road or giving interviews and participating in activities.

There is not even time to rest!
Xu Yi also increased the publicity expenses by another 200 million.

Ning Hao's share of the profits remained unchanged.

However, advertising expenses are also included in the costs.

So Ning Hao definitely made a profit.

But I didn't make that much.

What's more, the higher the box office, the one who earns the most is Xu Yi!

However, if Ning Hao is frugal, the remaining 400 million in publicity fees will all be his personal hard work fee.

This is also one of the unspoken rules in the entertainment industry.

In the entertainment industry, there are many accounts that simply don't add up.

It’s because there are too many unspoken rules, big and small.

For example, when inviting reporters to interview, travel expenses and red envelopes are definitely necessary.

You can't issue invoices for these, right?
There will also be kickbacks for food and accommodation on the crew.

Especially some big-name actors, not to mention.

Generally, people who know how to behave will treat others to food and drinks from the moment they join the crew.

You don't need to ask for something too expensive, but you have to ask for it.

Because you earn a lot, if you don't do this you will make people jealous.

And then you never know when you will be tricked by someone!

In addition, in Xu Yi's previous life, the entertainment industry was at its most popular and the pay was the highest.

Those stars can easily get paid tens of millions or even hundreds of millions for filming a movie.

There will definitely be kickbacks involved.

It also requires various arrangements.

As a result, what the stars actually get in the end may be less than half of their salary.

This is also why many celebrities evade taxes.

Because you only get half, but you still have to pay a maximum tax of 42%.

This is all in vain!

At the same time, Ning Hao participated in the "Asian Rising Star Director" program last year.

The fact that he had obtained Andy Lau's promise to invest in his movie "Crazy Stone" was also dug up by reporters.

After all, it was Andy Lau who was so high-profile at that time.

Only a year has passed now, so naturally everyone won’t forget it so quickly!

So when they saw this report, many netizens immediately started to mock it.

"I have to say Andy's taste is still as bad as ever!"

"What's the point of talking about whether it's bad or not? It's obviously Andy who doesn't keep his word!"

"That's right, this isn't a matter of vision, it's simply a matter of character!"

"I didn't expect Hua Zai to be such a person..."

"What's unexpected? People from Hong Kong are just like this!"

"But then again, if Andy Lau really invested in this movie, it probably wouldn't have such a high box office."

"Although Andy is one of the Four Heavenly Kings, this is no longer the era of the Four Heavenly Kings. In terms of popularity and influence, Andy is far behind Xu Yi!"

"Looking at it this way, Ning Hao should really thank Hua Zi for not fulfilling his promise!"

"Hahahahaha, it's true!"

……

"Xu Yi, you're here, come in quickly."

Liu Yifei's villa.

Hearing the doorbell, Liu Xiaoli hurried over and opened the door.

Godfather Chen, who was sitting on the sofa in the living room, couldn't help but frown.

Three years ago, when Liu Yifei returned to Beijing after filming "Tian Long", he went to the airport to pick her up and met Xu Yi once.

In his eyes at that time, Xu Yi was just a relatively handsome newcomer in the entertainment industry.

At most, his family has some money or some connections, so he can get close to Zhang Da Huzi.

But these were not enough for him to take seriously.

But now, in just three years.

Xu Yi has become the hottest star not only in the Chinese entertainment industry, but also in the entire Asian entertainment industry.

He also founded his own entertainment company.

The scale is much larger than his Red Star Wuda.

The most important thing is that Xu Yi now owns no less assets than him.

Even if we only talk about net assets, Xu Yi is still above him.

So much so that at this moment, he didn't even take Xu Yi seriously.

Whether Xu Yi will take him seriously is still unknown!
There is also his goddaughter, who is also the only artist in his company, and has been taken down by Xu Yi.

Of course he knew it too.

But a goddaughter is just a goddaughter after all.

Even his goddaughter's biological mother didn't care about this matter. Naturally, he had no reason to interfere!
I don’t even have the ability to interfere!

"Sister Liu, where's Xixi?"

Xu Yi asked as he walked into the villa.

Just over half a month ago, Liu Yifei's first CD album "The Door of Late Night" was officially released in Xiao Ri Zi Country.

But it’s called an album, but it’s actually just an EP.

A mini-album.

There are only two singles in Mandarin and two instrumentals.

It's like testing the waters first.

Given Liu Yifei's current popularity in the country and Sony's publicity capabilities.

After the album was released, it received great popularity and attention in the country of Xiao Ri Zi.

Sales in the first week exceeded 10 copies.

This achievement is for the first album of a new singer.

It's still an EP album.

It's already very good.

But people's evaluation of this album was not very good afterwards.

Especially those professional music critics, although they did not criticize directly due to Sony's face and power.

But he just praised her MV for being well shot.

She is also very beautiful.

Being an idol singer should be fine.

But I want to become a real, talented singing and dancing singer.

Maybe I have to work harder...

So after returning to China from promoting her album since her childhood, Liu Yifei has been unhappy.

There is also some confusion about future development.

"Sissi is in the room."

Liu Xiaoli said in a low voice.

Obviously, he was a little concerned about Godfather Chen.

"Then I'll go see Sissi!"

Xu Yi said immediately.

At the same time, he naturally knew that Godfather Chen was also there today.

However, he never took Chen Gandi seriously from the very beginning.

Not to mention now.

But Godfather Chen had never offended him.

So he nodded to Godfather Chen who happened to be looking over.

That's enough to say hello.

Then he went straight upstairs to Liu Yifei's room.

Then he pushed open the door of Liu Yifei's room and saw Liu Yifei lying on the bed sending text messages.

It should be either with Yang Mi or Jing Tian.

She only has these two friends at the moment.

Then Xu Yi closed the door and walked towards Liu Yifei.

Liu Yifei, hearing the noise behind her, immediately turned over.

But then, after seeing Xu Yi, she didn't have time to be happy.

Xu Yi rushed towards her directly...

"No, my godfather is still downstairs!"

Liu Yifei immediately struggled and whispered.

"It's okay, your godfather is gone!"

Xu Yi chuckled.

Now that he is here, what else can Chen Gandie do if he doesn't leave?
His attitude just now has shown that he doesn't take Chen Gandi seriously at all.

Godfather Chen didn't have the ability to do anything to him.

Sure enough, the next moment, the sound of a car starting was heard downstairs in the villa.

It was Godfather Chen who left very tactfully.

Liu Yifei immediately stopped struggling.

He just glared at Xu Yi angrily.

Because she knew that even if she struggled, it would be useless...

……

Two hours later, Xu Yi and Liu Yifei, who had already taken a shower, walked down from upstairs together.

Liu Xiaoli has also prepared dinner.

When the mother and daughter saw each other, their expressions did not change.

Apparently he's used to it.

"Xu Yi, I'm sorry to bother you this time. I have to ask you to make a trip right after returning to China."

At the dinner table, Liu Xiaoli saw Xu Yi and his daughter sitting down and immediately said something flattering.

At the same time, he served a bowl of soup and placed it in front of his daughter and Xu Yi.

At this time, Liu Yifei could not care about anything else.

After taking a sip of the soup, he began to put vegetables into the bowl.

She hasn't eaten well these days.

I had been exercising for so long before.

I was already hungry by now.

Not to mention that there is a big battle waiting for her!

Three months had passed since she last met Xu Yi.

So it would be strange if Xu Yi let her go so easily!

"Sister Liu, you're too polite. Isn't Xixi's business my business?"

Xu Yi said with a smile.

He also picked up the bowl and took a sip.

Not bad, very tasty.

It is also very nutritious.

"Then... Xu Yi, do you think this album incident will have any impact on Xixi..."

After Xu Yi put down the bowl, Liu Xiaoli asked again.

What she cares about most now is her daughter's future development.

She knew very well that no matter whether she relied on Godfather Chen or Xu Yi, it was not as good as relying on herself!
My daughter is so popular now.

If you rely on yourself, you can continue to be popular.

That would definitely be the best!
This is also what she wants to see most!
But this time, my daughter's first album encountered difficulties.

If the song is not good, you can change it.

But now it is my daughter’s singing level that is being questioned.

That would be difficult.

Because this cannot be changed in a short time.

This also involves her previous decision to sign with Sony and switch careers to become a singer.

I feel a little regretful...

That's why she wanted to get some professional advice from Xu Yi.
