In the previous life,”La La Land” invested 30 million, and finally received more than 4 US dollars.

It was screened at the Venice Film Festival in September 2016 to good response, and then premiered in North America on December 16, but the first weekend box office was only US$4.1 million.

With good reputation, the box office continued to rise in the end, which can be regarded as a classic case of low cost and high return.

And it swept 14 Oscar nominations.

If it weren’t for the Best Picture incident,”La La Land” would be the biggest winner in 2017.

Xu Can didn’t have high expectations for this kind of musical that was slightly more literary.

The initial motivation for filming the movie was mainly because I promised Sister Shitong that I would collaborate on a movie with her.

In terms of box office, Xu Can estimates that it will exceed 20 million US dollars in the first weekend, which is already very good.

As long as the final box office exceeds 500 million, it will be a bloody profit!

After all, the original investment was 30 million, a large part of which was the salary of Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone.

Both of them basically entered the 20 million club at that time. Even if they were not good enough, they would have to be paid 10 million each. After calculating, the cost of making a single movie was only 10 million.

Since Xu Can and Emma both starred for free, and with the double buff of Xu Can’s god-level director + god-level acting skills, the filming of the movie progressed at a rapid pace.

The total investment is not even 10 million!

You can get your money back with 30 million yuan. If it exceeds 500 million yuan, it will definitely be a profitable profit with a rate of return of dozens of times!

However, what Xu Can didn’t expect was that this kind of film could also have a box office of over 100 million in its first weekend?

I really like what a netizen said: Huh?

But after thinking about it, I can understand it.

Later, domestic entertainment even contributed to the box office for popular stars with no acting skills.

《The box office of”Chen Qing Ling” can exceed 400 million yuan, and the box office of”Man Jiang Hong” has been rushed to 4 billion by four-character fans.

After all, I am one of the top stars in Hollywood in the past two years. What happened to the box office contribution of fans?

“Xu, it seems that you are ignorant of your own popularity.”

Happy is also teasing Xu Can.

He has recently had several hits, so it is normal to get this result.

“Xu Can’s production must be a high-quality product.”

Everyone chose to support the box office without thinking. Xu Can has never disappointed movie fans.

Before this, the media predicted that the most competitive movies in the same period should be Paramount’s”Raiders of the Lost Ark 4″ and”Raiders of the Lost Ark”. Disney’s”The Chronicles of Narnia 2″.

Both movies are the top box office favorites this weekend, and other movies theoretically have no chance of competing.

Who would have thought that a musical and dance film could take on two big-scene popcorn movies? Seconds!

Especially Disney. After the schedule was confirmed, they even prepared champagne, but this is the result?

《Raiders of the Lost Ark 4 grossed 70.37 million at the box office in its first weekend, which is pretty good

《”The Chronicles of Narnia 2″ was relatively miserable. It only had a box office of 30 million in its first weekend, which was not even as good as”La La Land” on its first day.

As the Los Santos Times put it:

“Xu Can continues his reputation as a box office harvester, and even musicals and musicals have become money-grabbing machines”

“According to analysts’ predictions, the global box office of”La La Land” is expected to reach US$600-700 million.”

In addition to the North American market,”La La Land” swept the box office rankings of various countries and won the championship next week.

Even the mainland market, which has never been interested in musicals, was able to earn 50 million RMB!

The upcoming”Red Cliff” (Part 1)””Painted Skin” and other blockbusters were all panicked, shouting”Don’t come over here!””

The producers of the two films unanimously chose to postpone the release from May to the end of July.

They may have forgotten that there will be”Spider-Man 2″ waiting at the end of July!

……

Back in Los Santos, Xu Can accompanied Emma Stone for a candlelight dinner and enjoyed the beautiful night

“Honey, how was filming in New York recently? did you miss me?”

“Of course, I think of you every day”

“So isn’t Anne Hathaway very gentle?”

“That’s right……”

“ha! You are indeed with her……”Sister Shitou was immediately alert!

Xu Can took the lead in predicting her prediction

“What are you thinking about? She has a very gentle attitude when filming. We have a serious cooperative relationship.”

“Humph, if we collaborate in a few more dramas, I’m afraid I won’t even be ranked among you.……”

Sister Shitou snorted, and Xu Can stepped forward to silence her.

“How come, you always come first to me.”

Nothing wrong, Sister Shitou is indeed Xu Can’s first screen partner.

“In your words, it’s really a mouthful!”

“Yo, can you still speak idioms?”

Xu Can discovered that Sister Shitou, like Swift, has made rapid progress in Chinese recently.

Speaking of Swift, I have to go to her place later.

Fortunately, my cooling time is very fast, so Xu Can doesn’t panic.

……

“Tay what’s wrong with you?”

“Honey, just hold me like this.”

When he came to Swift’s apartment, Xu Can wanted to take action, but Swift seemed to be in a low mood and had no interest for the time being.

Xu Can could only hug her and temporarily cancel the action plan.

“You said…will we choose to separate because of our dreams?”

Taylor Swift suddenly raised her head and looked at Xu Can.

It was probably time to be emotional again.

“Do you think we are chasing our dreams now?”

Xu Can asked back.

“Yes, we are all doing what we like”

“Then it’s over. There is no conflict between pursuing dreams and us (caag). Do you want to leave?”

“It’s not like this……”Swift shook her head repeatedly

“I just felt a little emotional after watching the movie. In fact, you and Emma are really good. I can see that she likes you so much, and I guess she must feel uncomfortable too.”

“Uh… I guess so.”

Xu Can was ashamed.

Two hours ago, Sister Shitou was really uncomfortable. She was so uncomfortable that she even cried out for mercy.

Xu Can felt very funny:

“Why did you start to sympathize with Emma? Didn’t you still want to compete with her before?”

“But she is really great in the movie. Emma is so good and deserves a good home.”

Taylor Swift is very serious and obviously not yin and yang.”

“Then me……”Xu Can tried.

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Swift’s fierce look.

“HowDareYou! you dare?”

“I didn’t say anything. Where did I want to go?”

Xu Can gave up the idea for the time being. It seems that he still has to figure it out slowly.

……

After leaving Swift’s house, Xu Can had to rush to the company to meet with the creative team to discuss the filming plans for”Iron Man 2″ and”Captain America”

《”Iron Man 2″ has been confirmed to be directed by Jon Favreau, the director of the original”Iron Man 12″ and who played Happy Hogan.

Having him there doesn’t necessarily guarantee how good the film will be, but at least it can guarantee that it will be a commercial blockbuster.

Jon Favreau was quite pleasantly surprised and was very happy to be the director. His admiration for Xu Can was like a surging river, but he was also a little scared, fearing that he would ruin”Iron Man 2″.

“Don’t worry, I chose you because I believe you can shoot well.”

Although Xu Can is more than ten years younger than him, his status in the film industry is no longer comparable to that of Jon Favreau.

In addition, the Russo brothers are also preparing for the crew of”Captain America”, and”Peach Boss” Chris Evans has confirmed to join

“Sebastian, who plays”Bucky”, and British beauty Hayley Atwell, who plays”Carter”, have both signed contracts. Comic- book movies are no longer what they used to be, and they are no longer what everyone shouted about a few years ago.

Many Actors are eager to come to Xu Can to film. Every day, their agents hand over more actor resumes than toilet paper. As we all know,

Xu Can is the”Midas that turns stone into gold” and has a strong guarantee of box office.

Robert Downey Jr.’s salary has skyrocketed. Dozens of times more inspirational stories

will definitely move most Hollywood actors.

Today, Mr. Tao, Hailey, Downey, Widow Sister, and Pepper are all present. They belong to different crews, but sooner or later they will appear in the same movie.

A group of actors were chatting very enthusiastically.

When they saw Xu Can arrive, they subconsciously felt a little embarrassed.

Fortunately, Tangni and the widowed sister were very familiar with Xu Can and greeted him warmly.

(We will stop updating novels on this site, move to our new site: https://novelsknight.com///)

Mr. Tao and others came to greet him. First They met for the first time and exchanged greetings with each other.

Originally, several people were sitting around the sofa casually. Pepper Gwyneth was sitting on the single sofa next to her playing with her mobile phone and did not participate in the conversation.

When Xu Can sat down, Pepper Gwyneth seemed to sit down next to Xu Can unintentionally.

The widow sister opposite her suddenly had a strange expression.

At this time, the weather in Los Santos was already a bit hot. Gwyneth was wearing hot denim shorts and her knees were touching the ground. Holding Xu Can’s legs.

As long as Xu Can looked over, she always had a bright smile on her face, and her eyes were so blurred that they were almost blurred.

It was really obvious when girls were burning.

A few people gathered together to chat about Marvel, and they had a lot of fun. Xu Can was a little thirsty and went to the coffee machine to make coffee.

At this time, Scarlett Johansson also joined in.

“coffee?”

“Thank you. I’ll make some black tea.”

While pouring hot water, the widow glanced at Gwyneth

“Be careful, she has some tricks up her sleeve”

“oh? Xu Can was delighted,”Are you concerned about me?””

The widowed sister chuckled naturally.

“I can’t bear to see you being taken advantage of”

“Maybe I am playing tricks on others?”Xu Can deliberately emphasized the word”play”

“So you are very brave, are young people really so energetic?”

Scarlett took a sip of tea, circling the rim of the cup with her slender fingers, her eyes charming.

The widowed sister is 24 years old, two or three years older than Xu Can, and it is reasonable to say that he is young.

“You’ll know if you try it.”(To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

Xu Can looked up and looked at each other with the widowed sister.

Scarlett Johansson was the first to be defeated and looked away, her cheeks feeling a little hot.

She and Xu Can had a fight at a charity party before.

At that time, she wanted to tease this handsome oriental guy.

This time, she felt that her emotions were rising so quickly that Scarlett herself was shocked.

She was afraid I stared at each other for two more seconds, wanting to press him against the wall.

“What’s wrong with me?”

Xu Can was also surprised.

He discovered that Jamie, who had appeared in”Love and Elixir”, could not only win over any woman with just a few words, but could even detect the other person’s emotions.

For the first time, the widowed sister’s mentality was very… Steady, just talking, there are no waves in my heart.

This time, I obviously feel that the widowed sister is upset.

Oh?

Xu Can watched the widowed sister running away playfully, feeling inexplicably interesting.

As long as he is willing to make an appointment, he is afraid that he will ask the widowed sister out. The probability of going out can be increased to 100%, it depends on whether Xu Can wants to go out.

Unfortunately, he is pressed for time and has to fly back to New York to continue filming”Love and Elixir” in the evening. He will ask the widowed sister out when he has the opportunity later.

As an actress who is about to collaborate, it makes sense for her to come out to chat and drink, right?

……

Back in New York, the filming progress is almost complete and is expected to be completed in another two or three weeks.[]

The original movie mainly focuses on the relationship between the male and female protagonists.

When the female protagonist suffers from the incurable Parkinson’s disease, can the two overcome difficulties and firmly choose to stay with each other.

Xu Can gave a lot of suggestions to the director and screenwriter.

He suggested adding some other details and plot to profile the impact of North American medicine.

How do low-income groups struggle to survive with serious illnesses without insurance?

At the same time, it also reflects that some wealthy people are not willing to spend a lot of money for a little blue pill when some people are struggling. Doctors put more energy into the little blue pill.

The original explored it a bit, but not much.

Xu Can just wants to dig deeper and at least give the audience more to think about, rather than just remembering Anne Hathaway’s outstanding advantages after watching the movie.

During the filming, there were inevitably several battle scenes.

The one-on-one fights between Xu Can and Anne Hathaway, one after another, are comparable to Hollywood commercial action blockbusters.

There is no professional”martial arts instructor” on the crew, and each move needs to be discussed by the two leading actors, Xu Can and Anni.

Perhaps it was a tacit understanding from previous filming. After the filming that day, Anne Hathaway called Xu Can

“I have a little idea about the future action design.”

Anne was like a two-dimensional girl, shyly holding her hands behind her back, lowering her head and not daring to look at Xu Can

“Yeah? I happen to have an idea too, how about we demonstrate it in practice?”

“Um.”She nodded lightly.

Next, through actual inspection, they finally confirmed the move design that was easier to implement and had visual effects in the camera.

The two of them were familiar with the process when they officially started filming, and did not delay the progress at all.

“Uh…the two of them really understand each other very well.”

“Um.”

Director Edward and assistant director Clark were both numb. They just crossed their legs on the chair and didn’t move at all.

“Do you think it’s true?……”

“Who knows? As long as the lens is beautiful enough”

“What, I’m going to the toilet.”Assistant director Clark got up and left.

“Cut!”

Director Edward decisively shouted stop.

“What’s wrong? Director, what you just did wasn’t right?”

Xu Can was a little confused. Does he feel okay?

“Well…well done. Do you think you should keep this?”Edward asked tentatively.

Xu Can had the highest position and had the right to speak.

Xu Can did not answer, but looked at Anne Hathaway below.

“What do you think?”

It was very hard for Annie to film, and she no longer had the strength to move her fingers.

But she was still willing to persevere and strive to make the shots perfect.

“I think, well, we can add a few more to make sure the movie effect is… perfect.”

Xu Can was very moved. She is indeed one of the most dedicated actresses in Hollywood.

In her previous life, she cut her long, straight black hair when she starred in”Interstellar”.

Now, in order to be successful enough in”Love and Elixir,” she offered to accompany her. Take some more shots yourself

“Okay, here are a few more”

“OK, let’s rest for 5 minutes. I have something to do when I go back to the RV and will come back to shoot later.”

Director Edward also seemed a little tired and rushed back to the RV to rest.

The crew, photography, lighting and other members had left to rest, and only Xu Can and Anne Hathaway were left on the set.

“Do you want to rehearse again to ensure that the shooting goes smoothly later?”

“Um.”Annie nodded lightly.

This dedicated screen partner continued to polish their performances in the deserted set.

……

“Finished!”

“Congratulations on wrapping up!”

“Thank you for your hard work, Xu, and Annie, thank you for your hard work too.”

《”Love and the Elixir” has officially finished filming, and director Edward is very excited.

During this period of time when I was directing on the set, my health was getting worse and worse.

Xu Can and Anne Hathaway are in good spirits.

Especially Annie, her face has become a lot more rosy recently.

“What are your plans next?”

Before leaving, Anne Hathaway suddenly asked.

Her big shining eyes were like autumn water, and she looked at Xu Can with complicated eyes.

“I want to go back to Los Santos to take a rest and prepare for the promotion of Spider-Man 2.”

Xu Can looked at Annie with interest,

“Why, you can’t bear to leave me?”

No wonder many screen couples come together.

The two have experienced so much, and Anne Hathaway seems to have fallen.
