Chapter 191 Premiere of "Soulbreaker Gun"
Originally Xu Lang wanted to go to Zhang Yinxue, Lin Yun, and Zhou Qiong to discuss the contract, but considering that the companies behind these stars would make various demands, he suppressed it first.

Now that Sister Deng's contract has been signed, and Hu Haifeng's 3000 million investment has been put in place, he is not in a hurry.

After a month of big moves by Xu Lang, the current public opinion on the Internet is very good, and the pre-sale box office has reached 8000 million. Based on this ratio, 10 billion is really possible.

As for "Love of Carat", due to the large amount of money spent, the pre-sale has exceeded [-] million, and the real data is unknown.

It depends on the audience's reputation after the release. Chen Shou's team visited all the movie theaters across the country and initially estimated that the film scheduling rate can reach about 24%, and the initial estimate for "The Love of Carat" is about 30%.

After all, the strength of light and shadow is here, and some big theaters still give face, and their statistics and cast are good, so the screening rate is much higher.

On the day of the premiere, Xu Lang took Liu Bo, Wu Jingsong, Wang Baobao, Shi Shi, Ma Ke, Chen Ge and others to Universal Studios to participate in the event.

Until now, Ren Hongwen still felt that they had the chance to win. After all, they spent so much money and the fans were crazy, which confused him.

As for the later film scheduling rate, it depends on the attendance rate. The pre-sale of Light and Shadow also cost money in the early stage, so the investment in box office should be reduced.

Tian Dong is a shrewd businessman, and he will not really spend money to promote a money-losing movie just for a pretense.

After the premiere, the main creators had to go to 20 cities for road shows within a week according to Chen Shou's previous request. Every time they went to a place, the local chain theater promised to increase the film schedule by 3% on the next day.

However, the main creator of "Carat's Love" is not so diligent, and only goes to theaters in some big cities.

Xu Lang invited the crew and the distribution director of Chen Shou Company to hold a celebration banquet and a mobilization meeting at the hotel.

"Thank you for your continued support. "Soulbreaker" is finally released. We must cooperate with Mr. Chen's release plan and strive to win the box office champion within seven days. Remember, our goal is one billion, not capital preservation. At that time, I will use my personal money to give everyone red envelopes." Xu Lang shouted.

"Boss Xu is mighty, Boss Xu is awesome." Baobao Wang shouted.

Ma Ke and Shi Shi also booed, and everyone raised their glasses to boost morale.

"Xu Lang is becoming more and more attractive." Ma Ke said.

"No, both of you can turn fighting into friendship." Wu Jingsong laughed.

At this moment, Chen Shou came over and whispered in Xu Lang's ear, "Mr. Xu, there is a program that I would like to invite you to do an exclusive interview with."

"Let Liu Bo go, we still have to go to Haizhou to run a public announcement." Xu Lang replied.

"This program is quite good. It's full of great directors, and the quality of the audience is quite high. He called you by name and said he wanted to interview you."

"What show?"

""Thirteen Calls", the host is also surnamed Xu."

Xu Lang nodded. He really liked this show. Although it wasn't particularly popular, it still had 2000 million viewers. The most important thing was that this group of viewers might completely overlap with the viewers of "Soulbreaker".

What is the concept of 2000 million? According to the ticket price of 30 yuan per person, that is 6 million, which is really a lot.

Moreover, there are not many idols among the guests on this show, most of them have a certain status or style, and there are even world-class directors with strong thinking.

It is conducive to improving Xu Lang's status. Stars like Shi Shi and Ma Ke have no chance to be on the show at all, and the program crew looks down on them.

Xu Lang quickly greeted the host Xu Yuanfang behind him.

"Okay, let them go to the airport first, my ticket has been changed to one o'clock in the morning, I will be interviewed first, and then rush there."

"Ok."

Host Xu is a literary youth writer with long curly hair and myopia glasses. He likes to stick a book behind his buttocks.

He often worries about the country and the people, so his questions are usually sharp or in-depth, unlike other programs that are just for sensationalism.

Of course, there are also many people who don't like his intellectual style.

But every era needs such people. They may not be in the mainstream or even looked down upon by young people, but they are definitely the backbone of society.

"Hello, Mr. Xu."

"Hello, Mr. Xu."

"Have you eaten yet?" Xu Yuanfang asked.

"Not yet, I haven't had time."

"Why don't we go eat some barbecue and drink some wine, our show is also called "Thirteen Cups"."

"Okay, I haven't drank for a long time."

"I just heard from your staff that you have to catch a plane, will it affect you?"

"It doesn't matter, my ticket has been changed to two o'clock."

"Two o'clock in the morning?" Xu Yuanfang asked.

"Yeah, I have no choice but to go on a road show and promise the publisher."

At this time, the photographer had already started shooting, and Xu Lang's diligence was obvious to all.

This program is very casual, often drinking, eating, smoking and chatting, which is also the state that Xu Lang likes.

The two walked outside the hotel, and there was a food stall in the alley opposite.

"Come on something?"

"Pork kidney." Xu Lang replied.

"Haha, why eat this."

"You're getting older, that's how it is."

Xu Yuanfang likes this kind of guests with a sense of humor.

After ordering, Xu Yuanfang ordered four bottles of beer, and they started chatting. There was no script, they just talked wherever they thought.

"Are you the director of this movie or Liu Bo?" Xu Yuanfang asked.

"Of course it's Liu Bo. I'm just the producer. We negotiated the script together." Xu Lang said.

“It doesn’t seem to be common for producers to be the protagonists.”

Xu Lang drank the beer in one gulp, ate the roasted kidneys, and nodded: "Yes, there is no way. Who told us that we are a small production? In order to save money and produce good works, I haven't received a penny yet."

"It's amazing. If this was the remuneration model, I think the quality of the works would be much better. Is Lao She your favorite writer?" Xu Yuanfang asked.

"Well, he is one of my favorite writers, and Lu Xun is my favorite." Xu Lang replied.

Dialogue between literati must be forceful, and Xu Yuanfang never gives people face. He usually asks whatever comes to mind, and he doesn't care if you will be embarrassed, so he often hits a wall.

"Which one do you like the most?" Xu Yuanfang asked.

Under normal circumstances, the host would not ask this kind of question. What if the guest is bragging? Isn't it just poking someone's back?
But he asked anyway.

"Strictly speaking, I like them all. I have read the complete works. I like his affectionate care for the people at the bottom and his sharp writing style when swearing. This kind of care comes from the heart. But if it is going to be adapted in the future, I will Will choose "Forging the Sword"."

"It's one of the newly edited stories. This one is quite small, and most people don't know about it."

"um, yes."

"Aren't you afraid to speak out, because others will grab the shot?" Xu Yuanfang asked with a smile, and poured Xu Lang a glass of wine.

"No one has dared to film it for so long. Even if it is filmed and released at the same time, I am not afraid."

"So confident."

Xu Yuanfang pushed his glasses and began to regain his energy. This was the first time he met a guest who was more direct than himself.

Xu Lang smiled and said, "If I'm not confident, there's no need for me to change to the entertainment industry."

“Do you care about box office?”

"No one doesn't care about the box office, because if you don't sell money, no one will invest. I don't want to live in poverty, I'm afraid."

"I watched "The Soul-Breaking Gun" during the preview. It was very entertaining. You have hidden the core of it very deeply. Aren't you worried about being too entertaining?" Xu Yuanfang asked.

"Don't worry, a good show can only be seen by those who understand it. For those who don't understand, it's good to just have fun."

At this time, a staff member came over and handed a note to Xu Yuanfang, which probably meant that the director of "Carat's Love" wanted to be on the show.

"Tell him, we don't have a schedule, and we don't know what to talk about."

……

PS: There will be another update later. I originally thought about the Spring Festival vacation and wrote more, but the situation does not allow it. It has been raining for days recently, and it is too cold. I dare not stay up late because I am worried that my immunity will be weakened due to fatigue.

Secondly, I was a little scared, which affected my thinking, and the child was still young, so I didn't dare to touch it.

It is still a period of self-isolation. The incubation period of this pneumonia is as long as half a month. It is estimated that it will not be relieved until the seventh and eighth day.

Everyone, please pray that I am safe, otherwise I will have to stop updating.

Don't stay up late, pay attention to rest and go to bed early.

Thank you for your support!
