During the filming of "Bong Tian Tong Guo", more than twenty days passed in a flash, and it was almost time for Jiang Xiao to go to France to continue filming "Inception".

The reason why I have to wait so long is mainly because Hollywood shoots movies one after another. They are just like office workers. They only work for a certain amount of time and leave when the time is up, even if it takes more than a second.

This statement may be a bit exaggerated, but it roughly represents a workflow.

Unless there are special circumstances, the shooting time will be extended, such as night scenes, but it will not really last very late without being able to rest.

In a working atmosphere like this, the progress will naturally be slower. In addition, he is only a supporting role and his role is not particularly large. We also negotiated and tried to focus on filming as much as possible, so we waited for so long.

Just like when Jiang Xiao left the UK, the other actors actually continued filming there for another week before going to France.

It seemed that the scenes in France without him were almost finished filming, so I notified him to rush over as soon as possible.

Coincidentally, he also used these more than twenty days to advance the filming of "The Empire of Heaven" a lot.

By the time I get back from France to finish shooting the scenes for "Inception", it should be almost finished, and I won't have to fly back and forth all over the world.

However, before leaving China for France, Jiang Xiao deliberately took another day to prepare to fly to the capital to attend the celebration banquet of "Partners in China".

This should have been done a long time ago, but he was always very busy, so he kept putting it off.

And since he is both the leading actor and the largest investor behind the scenes, it would really be a bit wrong if he didn’t even show up at the celebration party.

After all, the current box office of the movie has been exactly as he predicted later. During the extended release period, it once again received 42.2 million yuan in box office, bringing the total ticket sales directly to 513 million yuan, once again pushing the number one box office in mainland history.

With such a performance, Jiang Xiao really felt that his photos of women dressed up had definitely played a huge role, because the box office in that week accounted for nearly 70% of the more than 40 million.

Otherwise, it would not be so easy to exceed 500 million. Just compare it with "Transformers 2", which also had an extended release this time.

Because the latter has been in theaters for two weeks, and its box office revenue has barely reached RMB 10 million.

But perhaps "Transformers 2" should be content with it. It has already grossed 437 million at the box office, which is much higher than what Jiang Xiao remembered.

Although it is still in theaters, it would be difficult to accumulate 450 million, at most a little over 440 million. After all, the current box office potential has basically been exhausted.

The same is true for "Partners in China", which is still a few days away from being released, but the film schedule is already very small, and the box office is also very small. It is so small that it is estimated that it will not exceed 514 million.

Therefore, the final total box office is basically stable at 513 million, and there are still some small changes that I won’t go into.

Therefore, for "China Partner" to achieve such an unexpected result, the celebration banquet was indispensable, and Jiang Xiao himself could not miss it.

After calculation, after deducting the 3.3% tax, 5% special items, and the portion taken by cinemas, theater chains, and distributors from this 513 million, there is almost 190 million left.

By the way, Jiang Xiao personally has to take 5% of the box office share, which is about 25.65 million.

This was the salary originally agreed upon for him, which was 15 million yuan + 5% share. Added together, it means that he finally received 40.65 million yuan in salary for "The Chinese Partner".

It's not an exaggeration. How much he contributed to the movie can be proven by the box office figures.

Although the figure seems to be a lot, it is obviously not the highest paid in the industry. Isn't it rumored that Jet Li received a salary of 100 million when filming "The Proposal"? Even if it is a bit watery, it should still be 70 to 80 million.

Well……

Jiang Xiao found the motivation to continue fighting. It is said that this time he only received a salary of 1.5 million for the filming of "Inception", which is of course US dollars.

It's not too small, and it's not the protagonist, just a supporting role.

Let's go back to the share of the box office of "Partners in China". After deducting his share of 25.65 million from 190 million, there is still 164 million left.

After deducting another 40 million for costs and 25 million for publicity, the remaining 99 million is net profit.

Lemon, which accounts for 50% of the investment, can take half of it, which is 49.5 million yuan, and the other half will naturally go to Huayi, China Film, and Yingyi according to their respective proportions.

It may seem like a huge drop compared to the total box office figure of 513 million, but this is pure profit.

Not to mention, there will be various copyright incomes in the future, plus some intangible added value.

Take Huayi as an example. It will be officially listed in October. It goes without saying what beneficial effects a successful work like "China Partners" can have.

Putting these aside, "Partners in China" was a celebration banquet held at a certain star hotel in Beijing, and the participants were naturally people related to the film.

Whether they are actors, staff behind the scenes, or investors behind the scenes, everyone is present.

No, Ma Xiaoyun, who owns Huayi shares, also appeared, and after seeing Jiang Xiao, she said: "Haha, Jiang Xiao, I didn't expect that the first time I acted in my life, I got more than 500 million box office. Maybe

I should also become an actor."

"You are overthinking it. I have never seen such a shameless person. What does it have to do with you? You just showed your face, and it has no effect. I advise you not to feel so good about yourself, okay?

"

"At any rate, you should organize Ali's employees to go to the cinema to support "Partners in China". If you say this again, your contribution will be small and small."

If possible, Jiang Xiao really wanted to throw these words to Ma Xiaoyun word by word.

But it was obvious that it couldn't be done, so he could only think about it quickly in his mind, and his last words became "hypocritical": "Maybe Chairman Ma can give it a try, invest his own money, star in his own role, and try the waters."

"Hey, forget it, just kidding. I'll act it out myself. It's a sure thing. It's okay to invest in it. How about it? Does Lemon need investment? I can invest in it."

It is indeed a joke. Ma Xiaoyun cannot be so boring, investing her own money and starring herself.

Finally, with the help of words, he proposed investing in Lemon Entertainment. As long as Jiang Xiao was around, no matter how you looked at it, this would be a high-quality investment, the kind that would make a sure profit without losing money.

"Investment? You may not need it for the time being. If you are really short of money in the future, I will definitely come to you, Director Ma, to invest."

Hearing Ma Xiaoyun suddenly say that he wanted to invest in Lemon, Jiang Xiao was indeed a little surprised, but after thinking about it for a while, he still rejected the matter.

It can only be said that he is really a person without huge ambitions. Otherwise, it is not impossible to contact Ali through this. With abundant funds and foresight, it is not impossible to rapidly develop into a behemoth in the industry.

Jiang Xiao didn't know if this was a lack of structure?

But he really doesn’t want to be that kind of person, stepping on the world under his feet?

Who isn't?

After all, they are not floating in the sky forever. As soon as they hit the ground, everyone has the world under their feet.

"Fine!"

Naturally, Ma Xiaoyun could not fail to hear Jiang Xiao's excuse, but he didn't say much. The initiative rested with others, so it was useless to talk.

Then he quickly changed the topic and continued chatting with Jiang Xiaoxian.

…………

"Jiang Xiao, are you free tomorrow? Are you going to fulfill your promise to me?"

"Uh...what did I promise you?"
