Chapter 729 is a woman with deep water
The next day, Jiang Xiao made the front page of Japanese media news.
The reason is naturally because he and Yui Aragaki and Yumi Mogesa were having dinner together. Those who didn’t know about it thought he had brought two girls there…
Although I didn't show off all the time last night, I didn't feel like I was having any secret activities, so it wasn't that strange that I was taken by paparazzi here. After all, the three parties involved, including himself, are already famous artists, and will naturally attract attention.
But this matter is nothing, just a meal, and nothing shameful.
The kebabs in that restaurant yesterday tasted really good. As Yui said, the store is good at matching meat and vegetables, and it tastes full and does not feel greasy.
During this period, the three of them also drank some sake, but they were all very restrained and did not get drunk. At most, they were affected by alcohol and became more and more harmonious.
Maybe because Jiang Xiao is a foreigner and has been to many places, whether it is Aragaki Yui or Yumi Daoshishi, it has a strong sense of exploration, and the topics are constantly discussed.
Afterwards, they naturally went back to their own houses, and he went back to the hotel, and a peaceful night passed by.
In short, Jiang Xiao didn't care about headlines or headlines. When Yui Aragaki and Yumi Daoshisa were asked by reporters, he explained it and told "Your Name" by the way, saying that there was cooperation.
This can be considered as killing two birds with one stone, and I also promoted the movie.
In addition, you can do whatever you want. In addition, the dubbing of "Your Name" is quite rush, and several recording rooms are started together, so your mind will naturally return to work soon.
Almost a week later, Jiang Xiao finished his work and returned to China. Before returning to China, he had a meal with two girls, Yui Aragaki and Yumi Daoshisa, which was considered a farewell.
There was nothing else, even if he could feel it, the potential favorability of the two cherry blossom girls towards him silently soared a lot during this period.
By the way, he also received two gifts from Yui Aragaki and Yumi Daoshita. Although they are not particularly expensive items, they have a very special feature here.

Shortly after returning to China, Jiang Xiao finally finalized Lemon's next 2D animated movie, "Son of Weather", uh...
Yes, I'll just catch Shinkai Makoto to death, mainly because there are not many original animated movies.
Look at the animated movies that have been sold at the box office of Japan Benzene are familiar animation movies such as "Doraemon", "Conan", "Dragon Ball", etc., so there is really little room for choice.
As for why I don’t do original creations by myself, it is naturally because Jiang Xiao thinks that Lemon Animation will not become so powerful because of "Your Name". It is still in its infancy. It always takes it slowly and accumulates its foundation first. Sooner or later, it will embark on the day of original creation by itself.
There are not many domestic animated movies that can attract attention. They created the movie "Big Fish and Begonia" in 2004, but they have been lacking in funds. Last year, they made Light start to intervene in the initial way. Recently, I heard that Light has decided to invest.
Without thinking, it must have been after seeing "Your Name" get such a high box office that it played a great role.
Jiang Xiao was sure that the light now was definitely more invested in "Big Fish" than I remember.
I think this is probably the so-called power of role models.
Putting aside this, in the following time, he had a lot of communication with the previous team of "Your Name" about the new project "Son of Weather", sorted out the context, and wrote the outline of the story.
Of course, in order to turn this animation into domestic production, it must be reprocessed on a rough framework. Jiang Xiao naturally left these tasks to the team, just like "Your Name".
It is also a training. Those who can enter this industry are more likely to love this industry. Practice more, inspiration may burst out, and "real" original creation will also appear.

As time slowly entered mid-April, the 11-week release, the 73-day "Operation of the Brave" finally came out, and achieved a better result than Jiang Xiao's expected 3.5 billion yuan, with a total box office of 3.677 billion yuan.
A movie like this will definitely be famous for its history of film.
He won the eight-week box office weekly championship, first-day record, single-day record, single-week record, and 99% of the records were broken.
As for why it is not 100%, it is naturally because the record of "Avatar"'s ten consecutive weeks of championships is unlikely to be broken by any movie.
The latter created this record, and there were actually accidental things in it. After all, 3D movies just appeared, and there were so many giant screen theaters at that time, so they had such an effect. I remember it was released for three months.
It’s naturally different now. The giant screen is not all over the place, but it is not like "Avatar" that there were only about ten stores across the country. No, there were about ten screens.
It is natural to get the record, but more practical is the issue of profit.
After all, the pure production cost of "Operation Brave" is 320 million. Of course, there is no need to say more about the achievement of 3.677 billion, and it is no longer a problem to recover the money.
If you calculate it, the special tax increase will be deducted by about 300 million yuan. Uh, it’s really a big sum. Just forget about the tax, special...
The remaining 3.377 billion can fall into the hands of the producer, about 1.47 billion.
If you deduct costs and publicity, the pure profit will be about 1.01 billion yuan.
In addition, Jiang Xiao also has a paycheck, so this is certain, unless Lemon invests independently, and if there is a partnership investment, you will definitely get it.
However, in order to spend more funds on filming, he did not get a fixed salary, but he received a share of the share. If he had a 100 million box office, he would get 10 million.
The total box office is 3.677 billion now, so his share is 367.7 million yuan.
It is also the highest salary that Jiang Xiao has ever received. It will be more than 50 million US dollars. There are very few actors in the whole world who can get such a salary. Are they at the top of the actors?
But lemon is the biggest investor in "Operation Brave", is it considered to be the one I open for myself?
As for other actors, the pay is relatively small, and the total is only about a fraction of his.
But it’s not a loss. It turns out that they are not a big hit artist and are of average fame. Now, after "Operation Brave", not only has the price rise, but it is also destined to become easier to make it.
In short, after deducting the pay Jiang Xiao deserved, the income of 1.01 billion became about 640 million.
This is pure profit, and all the things that should be deducted and all the points should be divided. Among them, lemons have a total of 70% according to the investment ratio, about 450 million.
The remaining 190 million yuan is divided into other investment partners, and the worst is tens of millions.
Fortunately, these data will not be released, so we can make a fortune together.
Moreover, the subsequent "Operation Brave" will continue to generate profits, not too little, starting at least eight digits.
It is naturally a good mood to make money. With such a good mood, Jiang Xiao went abroad and flew to Hawaii, but not to play, but to work, because "Jurassic World" is about to start filming.
Then he naturally met the main creators of "Jurassic World". Spielberg was recognized at a glance. The other party was not the director of the movie, but the producer. After all, this series was first filmed by the other party and had the right to speak.
The old man looked very friendly on the surface, and even praised him during conversations. The atmosphere was quite harmonious for a moment.
In addition, they are all people who don’t know at a glance. It can only be said that the protagonist of "Jurassic World" is indeed a dinosaur, not a human.
Of course, if you don’t know each other, there will always be someone to introduce you. Then Jiang Xiao met director Colin Trevoror, and he really had no impression. Perhaps "Jurassic World" is the other party’s most famous work.
The female lead is called Bryce Dallas Howard, who seems to be the original female lead, but he has no memory points, which leads to the previous "scan" and not scanning it out.
After listening to the introduction, he realized that the other party was a second-generation star. His old father was very famous and won the Oscar for Best Director and Best Film. He was named Lang Howard.
The movies "Apollo 13", "Angels and the Devil", and "The Da Vinci Code" are all directed by the latter.
What's even more amazing is that Bryce Dallas Howard has an uncle named Clint Eastwood. Needless to say, he won the Oscar twice, and he still has works in his eighties. He can be regarded as a "model worker" among directors. He has a stance that his life is endless and his director will never stop.
I can only say that Bryce Dallas Howard is a woman with a deep look. She looks good but looks old and must be older than him. Fortunately, the two of them do not want to play a couple in the movie.
Others include Vincent Donofero, who plays the villain, who looks like a "villain" temperament.
The two young actors skipped over directly, uh, I don’t know each other, they should be newcomers or something.
A San actor, then Jiang Xiao recognized that the other party was not the actor in Li An's "Birthday Pi"?
There is also a Chinese actor named Huang Rongliang. Suddenly, the memory point also rose. After the introduction, I realized that the other party also participated in the first "Jurassic Park" that year.
It seems that before the filming of "Jurassic World" started, it was everywhere to make a hype that the starring actors would return, and now it can be said that they have indeed returned one.
Chapter completed!
