Chapter 934

Due to the time difference, Los Angeles is 14 hours behind the capital city.

When Zhou Xia called Yaya in the capital on the morning of the 28th, it was still the night of the 27th in Los Angeles.

As soon as the phone was connected, Yaya's happy voice rang out.

"Yiyi, did you just get off the plane?"

"Cough, cough." Zhou Xia was choked by these words and coughed twice.

Speaking of which, he really just got off the plane, but he just arrived at the imperial capital from Stone City.

"What's the matter? Did you just get on the plane?"

Yaya felt bad when she heard Zhou Xia's reaction, so she asked immediately.

"Yaya, that's how it is. The premiere of "Sword of Heaven" will be premiered tonight, and there will be promotions in the next few days. So, I can't make it through."

Zhou Xia bit the bullet and spoke slowly to Yaya.

He wondered if Yaya said that on purpose to make him feel guilty.

Even if Yaya is abroad, she must know about the premiere of "Sword of Immortal Sword".

"What? You didn't come to accompany me to spend the full moon with my son because of the movie premiere?" Yaya asked in surprise.

Of course she knew about the premiere, but she never thought that Zhou Xia would not go to spend the full moon with her for the sake of work.

"...Of course I thought about it, but I'm really busy." Zhou Xia said with a headache.

Of course he has weighed this kind of thing, but Yaya and the child are in the United States, and it takes at least two days to go back and forth, so there is really no time for it.

"Yiyi, I didn't want to say this, I know you are very busy, you always have various things.

Premieres are important, but how many movies are you going to make and how many premieres are you going to have?But what about the child's full moon?Once in a lifetime.

If you don’t participate this time, it will be gone after that. I wonder if you will also be absent for his [-]th day, first birthday, and every birthday?You get used to it. "

Yaya raised her voice and argued seriously with Zhou Xia.

"No, it's purely a coincidence this time, I'm still filming on the set..." Zhou Xia said helplessly.

"Coincidence? Didn't you know the date of the child's full moon a long time ago, and you just take it to heart every time you talk about it."

When Yaya said this, she was suddenly moved, and she couldn't help but smiled sadly: "Hehe, it seems that I think too much. For you, my child and I are just one of many things, dispensable, not enough. Heavy."

After finishing speaking, Yaya hung up the phone with a click.

"This..." Zhou Xia held the phone, petrified on the spot.

One of many, dispensable, insignificant...

Thinking of these words in Yaya's words, Zhou Xia laughed helplessly.

Yaya has said that, so there is no room for explanation. If there is no flexibility, if she really doesn't go, then she will be more sure of these thoughts.

Zhou Xia sighed and put down the phone.

The premiere said that it is important, of course it is important, but it does not mean that without him, it cannot be done.

He also thought about not participating, but in the end he was worried that the outside world would be too surprised by the absence of his director and leading actor, and that it would be too troublesome to ask the bottom line later.

Moreover, Xiahua Film and Television will ring the bell in Rasdaq after the new year, and now the box office performance of "Legend of Sword" is very important. His participation in the premiere and promotion will of course be more guaranteed for the box office.

After Xiahua Film and Television goes public in North America, it will fully face the global market, and its market value may double within a year or two.

This is a great opportunity to achieve leapfrog development.

With sufficient funds, Xiahua Film and Television can continue to use capital to open the way domestically and globally, and continue to develop rapidly.

This is the most important reason why he chose to attend the premiere.

Maybe it's just too much work.

Zhou Xia thought about it, shook her head, and said to Xiaobai in the front row of the car: "Xiaobai, notify the flight crew to coordinate the flight plan and see how quickly we can take off to Los Angeles. I want the fastest."

"Okay." Xiaobai didn't say much, agreed and dialed the crew of Zhou Xia's private jet.

Although I bought the route, every flight plan still needs to be coordinated with relevant departments and arranged in advance.

One minute later, Xiaobai hung up the phone and reported to Zhou Xiahui in the back row: "Boss, we can take off in two hours."

"Well, that's good, then I won't go to the company, go directly to the airport. In addition, my schedule for the past two days has been cancelled, and the movie premiere and promotional side have also notified me, saying that I am injured in martial arts and cannot participate gone."

"Ok."

Xiaobai agreed, and started making phone calls to communicate with relevant people in various departments of the company.

Zhou Xia picked up her phone and sent Yaya a WeChat message, telling her that it would be about 16 hours.

Ya Yaben was in the baby room, rocking the crib, looking at the two sleeping children, and was angry with Zhou Xia.

Seeing the WeChat message sent by Xia Xia on the mobile phone last week, the anger finally disappeared, and a satisfied smile appeared.

But she did not reply to Zhou Xia's message.

Is this person just bullying her for being good-tempered?
It's just a premiere, and if you can spare time, you have to make her angry and say something like that to change the itinerary?
Here Zhou Xia changed his itinerary and did not participate in the premiere and publicity. In the company's publicity department, some executives did not know the truth and thought that Zhou Xia was really injured. It's on Zhou Xia's phone.

Not long after, Xiao Ai and Xiaoying, the two heroines of "Sword and Sword", found out about the situation and also called to inquire.

Xiaohu, Sisi, Yufei, Tangtang and the others soon found out and called Zhou Xia directly.

After Zhou Xia answered the call from Xiao Ai and Xiao Ying, she simply turned off the mobile phone.

It's better to be quiet at this time, and Zhou Xia is a little worried about the performance of the lower part of "Sword".

The first part of "Chinese Paladin" set a box office record and became the second highest-grossing film in the world.

Now that the second part is about to be released, he doesn't have much confidence over the first part.

The enthusiasm and expectations of those loyal movie fans and fans for the movie are obviously higher, which can be seen from the current data performance of online pre-sales, which is 1.3 times better than the same time period of the previous movie.

But those passer-by fans or potential moviegoers may not have as many people as above.

The domestic box office record of the upper part has basically reached the ceiling, and it can be regarded as tapping out the largest movie viewing potential in the current domestic market.

It has only been half a year now, and the construction of theaters has added more than 1000 screens, and the growth of moviegoers will not be too much.

It is difficult to predict how many passerby fans and potential moviegoers it can attract.

From this point of view, Zhou Xia and the company's top management basically agreed that it would be difficult to surpass the previous record.

In terms of performance in overseas markets, it may be even worse.

At that time, not long after Zhou Xia won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, coupled with the global hits of "The New Detective", his status as a kung fu superstar was pushed to a new height.

Naturally, many viewers want to see his new movie, the so-called first oriental fairy tale masterpiece.

Now these advantages are gone, and judging from the current popularity of the second part of "Sword" in various overseas markets, it is also lower than the upper part, which is obviously a bad sign.

Fortunately, there are other advantages, so the heat in the lower part is not much worse than that in the upper part.

At least compared to before, Zhou Xia and several leading actors are more famous in the world.

In particular, Zhou Xia's two films have sold well all over the world, and he has also become the second highest-grossing director in the history of the world. Audiences in many countries have basically heard of him and seen one or two of his works.

In addition, Xiahua Film and Television is becoming more and more proficient in overseas operations, so on the whole, the popularity of the lower part has reached the data of the upper part.

Now we can only expect this performance at the box office.

Zhou Xia can only hope so, and has no confidence. This is one of the reasons why he plans to participate in the movie premiere to help promote the movie.

But he didn't expect Yaya to use his big move directly, and he had no choice but to say that kind of thing.
