rising director

On the way, Su Ya took out a small mirror from her bag from time to time, and then looked left and right, straightened the collar of her clothes, combed her hair, and pursed her lips in front of the mirror to check eye shadow and so on.

"I said, something is wrong with you today." Wan Xiaohu glanced at Su Ya.

"What?" Su Ya took out the lipstick again.

"It's pretty enough, why are you still dressing up here? It's just a phone call. It's not for you to go on a blind date. What's wrong with being beautiful?"

There was a flash of panic in Su Ya's eyes, and then she slowly put the lipstick back into her bag, and looked out the window: "Everyone has a love for beauty, what do you know?"

"I don't understand. Anyway, women are trouble."

"Drive honestly, it doesn't bother you, don't complain here." Su Ya glared at Wan Xiaohu.

Shaking his head, Wan Xiaohu snorted disdainfully: "Woman."

0229【Bring a grandson】

In the lobby of Beijing Airport, Su Ya held a sign.

The plane has landed, and soon there will be a crowd coming over...

Wan Xiaohu was sitting in the business car, listening to music while waiting. He is a public figure. Recently, "The Wind" has become popular all over the country. If he goes out casually, he will be blocked by fans. Therefore, when picking up the plane, he also let Su Ya go. He was in the car wait here.

It didn't take long before I saw Su Ya and a beautiful girl walking over, talking and laughing, followed by a young man with yellow hair and a young couple, who were Wan Xiaohu's parents, younger brother and younger sister.

beep.

Wan Xiaohu honked the horn, then opened the door and got out of the car: "Dad, Mom, you are here."

"Ah."

"Brother, you are getting more and more handsome now." Wan Xiaolan looked at Wan Xiaohu loudly.

Today Wan Xiaohu wore a well-known brand suit, his hair was carefully styled, and he had a dignified demeanor.

"What are you talking about, when will your brother and I not be handsome?"

"Oh, you've never been handsome before, okay? Sister Su Ya, do you think so?"

Su Ya opened the car door for Wan Xiaohu's parents, then put her arms around Wan Xiaolan and said, "Xiaolan is right. In the past, your brother was slovenly, and he often appeared in front of people with an unkempt appearance, which was scary."

Wan Xiaohu's mother, Li Cuiping, nodded, and then stretched out her hand to make a gesture: "Yes, this child used to be at home, and he didn't pay much attention to food, drink and clothing. He used to have a piece of clothing with such a big hole in it, so he could wear it properly. I don't know why he is becoming more and more particular now." It's so handsome, my mother dare not recognize her."

Wan Xiaohu asked his mother to get into the car, and said dejectedly: "Mom, please don't expose my black background, okay, I am a celebrity now, you have to save me some face."

"When did my mother expose your black background, she praised you for being frugal when you were young."

"Okay, okay. It's better not to praise me, I'm afraid I'm proud. Parents, sit down, Su Ya, Xiaolan, you also get in the car, Xiaobin, you drive." Wan Xiaohu urged a group of people into the car inside.I sat in the co-pilot, and there were three rows of seats in the car, which happened to be two people in a row.

After the car got on the road, Su Ya chatted enthusiastically with Wan Xiaolan and Li Cuiping, as if it wasn't the first time they met.

Wan Xiaohu chatted with his father Wan Cishan.

"You've become famous now." Wan Cishan sighed.

Wan Xiaohu smiled: "It's been a few years, and my career has somewhat improved."

"It's good to have an improvement. In fact, we don't want to be rich and powerful. You and Xiaobin are both busy. Especially when you are a director now, everyone is watching you and work hard."

Wan Xiaobin interjected, "Dad, don't worry about my brother. My brother is extraordinary now, he is an international-level director. He is basically a top-notch director in China. Internationally, Hollywood, ask my brother to make a movie." There are quite a few. It’s just that my brother doesn’t want to go to Hollywood right now.”

"Don't be in a hurry to go to Hollywood." Wan Cishan nodded. Ever since he became a director, people around him have been talking about it.Under the influence of his ears and eyes, he knew the film industry very well, "A few days ago, your uncle and the others were still talking about us Chinese going to Hollywood, we must be cautious. Li An and Wu Yusen both stumbled, so we must Be careful not to shame yourself outside."

Wan Xiaohu smiled and said, "I see, Dad."

What happened to Li An and Wu Yusen.Wan Xiaohu knew it very well.

This summer vacation, the Hollywood superhero movie directed by Li An, with a cost of 1.5 million US dollars and a promotion fee of 1.5 million US dollars, the blockbuster "Hulk", only received 2.45 million US dollars worldwide.It failed at the box office, and even the plot was criticized for being too tangled.Because of the box office failure, Li An is basically in a semi-retired state now.

It has to be said that the career risk of being a director is too high. "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" made Li An extremely coquettish at the Oscars. As a result, "Hulk" almost killed him. So far no one has asked him to make a movie .

As for Wu Yusen, it was not much better. The $1.2 million cost of "Wind Talker", which was released last summer, only earned $7700 million in the global box office.This year, that is, not long ago, the sci-fi film "Memory Rift" directed by him with a cost of 911 million US dollars still performed mediocrely.

The failure of the two films basically cut off Wu Yusen's way in Hollywood, and he had to return to China to make movies.

This also made Wan Xiaohu, who just couldn't help but be overjoyed by "Chain Saw", feel sympathy. Hollywood is not an easy place to break into. Whether Westerners can accept the thinking of Eastern directors is a high-risk technical task.

Therefore, he still decided to honestly make films in China for a few years, lay a solid foundation, and then go to Hollywood.

After chatting for a while, they soon arrived at Wan Xiaohu's villa.

After the luggage is moved in.

Everyone is resting in the living room.

"Brother, this villa is so big. It's too extravagant for you and the second brother to live in such a big house."

Wan Xiaobin shook his head: "My brother has hardly lived here, and I often travel on business, so I hardly live here."

"I still want to buy such a big house." Li Cuiping blamed.

"Isn't the house price going up? If you buy it to keep the value, you can't lose anyway." Wan Xiaohu made tea for himself, "Now that we have money, we have to consume, otherwise how can we stimulate the country's economic growth. I have discussed it with Su Ya Now, no later than next year, we will build our own office building."

"You're going to build an office building, and that's going to cost a lot of money."

"Auntie, our company is not short of money now." Su Ya said proudly, "Xiaohu's "Chain Saw" earned more than 3000 million US dollars in box office revenue, and more than 2000 million US dollars in audio-visual product copyright fees , That’s more than [-] million yuan. We temporarily decided to build a ten-story building in the first phase of enclosure, and then expand it slowly.”

"How much will that cost?"

"I don't plan to enclose a lot of land. If it is outside the Fourth Ring Road, an acre of land is about 70 yuan. We enclose 500 mu of land, about [-] million yuan of land, and build another [-] million yuan of buildings. This is the current idea."

"This adds up to seven or eight hundred million. Where did your company get so much money?"

Su Ya explained: "Investing in movies has earned about 7 million yuan, and making TV dramas and entertainment programs plus selling copyrights has earned almost 6 million yuan. If it weren't for the company's next step to invest in a big production of Xiaohu. We More land can be encircled.”

Movies do not earn the most at the box office, but audio-visual products and copyrights are the most expensive, copyrights for TV dramas, copyrights for entertainment programs, and advertisements endorsed by celebrities.These are all sharp tools to support the company's expansion.In addition, Su Ya and Wan Xiaohu took hundreds of millions of accounts for "Legend of Hot Blood", which was still in their personal pockets.

Now, there is no shortage of money.

"It is said that making movies can make money, but I didn't expect it to be so profitable." Wan Cishan couldn't help but sigh.

"That is to say, my brother can make money, but others don't make much."

After sighing.It's getting late, Su Ya said: "Uncle and aunt, you come to the capital, I will treat you to dinner today."

"What a shame, let me treat you to a girl's house."

Wan Xiaohu interrupted his mother: "Didn't I tell you, Mr. Su is not short of money. Let's go, five-star hotels, only choose the expensive ones and not the right ones."
