Jiang Xia picked up the phone, and Old Hu's voice immediately came through.
"Jiang Xia, I heard that you've set up a studio? Why didn't you tell me? You're really not a good brother. Coincidentally, I have some executive managers, publicity staff, business development, cultural planning, and other additional people here. I've already given them their salaries this year. I can't afford to support them anymore, so I'll give them to you in the future.”
Before Jiang Xia could speak, Old Hu said," Alright, that's it. Don't even think about rejecting me. I'm hanging up."”
Old Hu hung up the phone, but Jiang Xia felt a little warm.
It was obvious that Old Hu had sent some of his staff to him because he saw that he was alone.
Jiang Xia didn't believe that Old Hu couldn't afford to take care of a few staff members as a popular celebrity. Moreover, Old Hu had paid Jiang Xia's salary in advance for this year. Jiang Xia didn't even need to pay his salary.
That wasn't all. After a while, Xu Shanzheng also called and asked Jiang Xia about his office. He happened to have an empty big office that he didn't use, so he could let Jiang Xia use it for free.
Jiang Xia didn't stand on ceremony and expressed his gratitude directly." That's great. Thank you, Brother Zheng. I, Jiang Xia, will remember your kindness."”
"Who are we talking about? Hurry up and move in and tidy up the studio.”
"Alright!"
In the next few days, Jiang Xia brought Old Hu's people and moved into Xu Shanzheng's office. After putting together everything, Jiang Xia Studio was finally on the right track.
At the same time, the profits from Chang 'an Twelve Hours were transferred to Jiang Xia's account.
When the studio's new finance officer saw this number, he thought that there was something wrong with his eyes.
23 million!
Jiang Xia had earned 23 million yuan just from the profits from Chang 'an Twelve Hours alone!
Jiang Xia wasn't stingy either. He gave each of the staff a red packet of 20,000 yuan.
This made the studio staff ecstatic. They had thought that Jiang Xia was a D-list or C-list actor, so his income would not be too high. He would definitely not be able to compare to their original boss, Old Hu. They did not expect that his ability to earn money was so strong.
When they were called over by Old Hu, they were very uncomfortable. After all, Old Hu's Studio was famous for being generous. The more they earned, the more bonuses they would receive.
How much money could a D-list or C-list celebrity like Jiang Xia earn? The bonus would definitely be very small.
Jiang Xia's generosity also made them calm down and they began to work hard for Jiang Xia.
At the same time, I'm Not The Drug God also began to promote the movie before it was released.
Jiang Xia had not rested yet. He and the production team had traveled all over the country to promote the film.
Of course, the spotlight was focused on the director and Xu Shanzheng. Even Zhou Erwei, who did not appear much on screen, received much more attention than Jiang Xia.
The host was basically asking the director and Xu Shanzheng questions. Most of the questions he asked Jiang Xia had nothing to do with the movie.
Towards the end, Jiang Xia also understood and followed the host's thoughts.
"May I ask Jiang Xia, this is your first time acting in a movie, and you're already acting with Xu Shanzheng and Zhou Erwei, who are both good actors. Is the pressure especially great?”
Jiang Xia answered directly," I'm under a lot of pressure. I can't sleep the whole night. I'm also nervous when I'm rehearsing. I just hope that everyone won't scold me after watching the movie."”
Xu Shanzheng and Zhou Erwei almost laughed out loud. Jiang Xia was under a lot of pressure?
They were the ones who were under the most pressure to act with Jiang Xia.
However, Jiang Xia's answer gave the media another chance to stir up the topic.
"#MyEight: Jiang Xia is under a lot of pressure. The young hunks are finally showing their true colors in the face of acting.#”
"#YuGuanXi: The strength of the "bragging" will eventually be slapped in the face by reality.#”
"#Jiangxia tells us how far the distance between the television industry and the film industry is.#”
“……”
In the end, I'm Not The Drug God was scheduled for July 5th.
This was because the release time was coincidentally within the protection period of the domestic film. Without the impact of Hollywood blockbusters, there were basically no competitive films in the same period.
Xu Shanzheng and Wen Muye were very confident that I'm Not The Drug God would definitely be able to achieve good box office results.
This was because their reputation would definitely explode in the future!
However, on July 1st, four days before the screening of I Am Not the Drug God, bad news suddenly came.
Director Zhang Jihua's 'The Great Wall' would definitely be released from the end of July to July 5th.
The Internet was filled with discussions and promotions about The Great Wall.
"F * ck, Director Zhang is going to make another big production this time. Matt Damon, Pedro Pascal, Liu Dehua, Zhang Hanyu, Lu Han, Peng Yuyan, Lin Erxin, Deng Kai, oh my god, this lineup is too scary!”
"I heard that the total investment is close to 200 million USD. I'm looking forward to it!”
"From the promotional video, it's so grand that it's explosive!”
" I'm looking forward to Brother Lu's new movie."
“……”
Xu Shanzheng and Wen Muye were a little flustered, but it was too late to pull the file now. They could only bite the bullet and release it.
"Damn, that's too sinister!" Jiang Xia cursed in anger.
According to the normal shooting schedule of a blockbuster, The Great Wall should still be in the post-production stage and would only be released at the end of August.
This time, it was obviously to avoid a batch of Hollywood blockbusters that would be released in August.
This was a case of picking on soft persimmons!
