In the previous life, “La La Land” invested 30 million yuan, and finally received more than 4 US dollars.
It was released to great success at the Venice Film Festival in September 2016 and then premiered in North America on December 16, but grossed only $4.1 million in its opening weekend.
With a good reputation, the box office continued to climb in the end, which can be regarded as a classic case of small cost and high return.
And swept 14 nominations at the Oscars,
If it weren’t for the best picture oolong event, “La La Land” could be called the biggest winner of 2017.
For this kind of slightly literary song and dance film, Xu Can did not have too high expectations.
The motivation for filming the movie at the beginning was more to agree to Sister Shi and want to cooperate with her in a movie.
In terms of box office, Xu Can estimates that it will break $20 million in the first weekend.
As long as the final box office exceeds 500 million, it is blood to earn!
After all, the original version invested 30 million, and a large part of it was Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone’s salary.

The two basically entered the 20 million club at that time, and no matter how bad they were, they had to pay 10 million respectively, and the cost of a single movie was 10 million.
Because Xu Can and Emma both starred with 0 salaries, coupled with the double buff of Xu Can’s god-level director + god-level acting skills, the filming progress of the movie was fast.
The total investment is not even 10 million!
30 million can return to the capital, if it exceeds 500 million, it can definitely be called a blood gain with a rate of return dozens of times!
However, what Xu Can didn’t expect was that this kind of film could also box office over 100 million in the first weekend?
I like a quote from a netizen: Huh?
But when you think about it, you can understand it.
Later, domestic entertainment contributed to the box office to traffic stars who had no acting skills.
The box office of “Chen Qingling” can break 400 million RMB, and “Man Jianghong” can be rushed to 4 billion by four-character fans.
I’m one of Hollywood’s top performers in the past two years, what’s wrong with fans contributing to the box office?
“Xu, it seems that you don’t know anything about your popularity. ”
Harpy is also teasing Xu Can.
He has recently made several consecutive hits, and it is normal to get this result.
“Xu Can’s product must be a high-quality product”
Everyone brainlessly chose to support the box office, and Xu Can never disappointed fans.
Prior to this, the media predicted that the most competitive films of the same period should be Paramount’s “Raiders of the Lost Ark 4” and Disney’s “The Chronicles of Narnia 2”.
Both of these films are the top box office favorites this weekend, and the others are theoretically powerless.
Who would have thought that a singing and dancing literary film would give two big popcorn movies to seconds!
Especially Disney, after the schedule was confirmed, they even had champagne ready, and the result was this?
“Raiders of the Lost Ark 4” received 70.37 million box office in the first weekend, and the results are not bad.
“The Chronicles of Narnia 2” is more miserable, with only 30 million box office in the first weekend, which is not even comparable to the first day of “Philharmonic 963 City”.
As the Los Santos Times put it:
Xu Can continued his title as a box office harvester, and even literary song and dance films have become gold-absorbing machines. ”
According to analysts’ predictions, “La La Land” is expected to reach $600 million to $700 million at the global box office. ”
In addition to the North American market, “La La Land” won the weekly championship in the box office charts of various countries.
Even the mainland market, which has never been interested in song and dance films, was able to win 50 million RMB!
Blockbusters such as the upcoming “Red Cliff (I)” and “Painted Skin” were panicked, shouting “Don’t come here!”
The filmmakers of the two films coincidentally chose to postpone and adjust the release in May to the end of July.
I’m afraid they forgot that there is still “Spider-Man 2” waiting for the end of July!
……
Back in Los Santos, Xu Can accompanies Emma Stone to have a candlelit dinner and enjoy the beautiful night.
“Baby, how have you been filming in New York lately?
“Of course, I think about you every day. ”
“And isn’t Anne Hathaway gentle?”
“That’s right……”
“Ha! you really …… with her” Sister Shi was immediately alert!
Xu Can took the lead in predicting her prediction.
“What do you think? She was very gentle when filming, and we were a serious partnership. ”
“Hmph, if you cooperate in a few more dramas, I’m afraid I won’t be able to rank in your rank……”
Sister Shi snorted, and Xu Can leaned in to silence her.
“Why, you’re always number one with me. ”
There’s nothing wrong with it, Sister Shi is indeed Xu Can’s first on-screen partner.
“In your words, it’s a smallpox!”
“Yo, do you know how to make idioms?”
Xu Can found that Sister Shi was the same as Mildew, and the Chinese had recently made rapid progress.
Speaking of mildew, I’ll have to go to her later.
Fortunately, his cooldown time was fast, and Xu Can did not panic.
……
“Tay, what’s wrong with you?”
“Honey, just hold me like that. ”
When he came to the mold apartment, Xu Can wanted to take action, but he didn’t know that the mold mood seemed to be a little low, and he was not interested for the time being.
Xu Can could only put his arm around her and temporarily cancel the action plan.
“You say…… Will we choose to separate because of our dreams?”
Mildew suddenly looked up at Xu Can.
I guess it’s time to be emotional again.
“Say, are we chasing our dreams now?”
Xu Can asked rhetorically.
“yes, we’re all doing what we love. ”
“That’s not it, the relationship between chasing dreams and me (caag) is not in conflict, do you want to leave?”
“That’s not ……,” Mildew shook his head.
“I just felt a little emotional after watching the movie, but in fact, you and Emma are really good. I can see that she likes you so much, I guess she must not feel good in her heart. ”
“Uh…… I guess so. ”
Xu Can was embarrassed.
Two hours ago, Sister Shi was really uncomfortable, so uncomfortable that she shouted for mercy.
Xu Can felt very funny:
“Why did you start sympathizing with Emma, didn’t you want to compete with her before?”
“But in the movie, she is really good, Emma is so good, she deserves a good home. ”
Taylor Swift is serious, obviously not yin and yang.
“Then I’m ……,” Xu Can said tentatively.
Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Mildew’s vicious eyes.
“How dare you?”
“I didn’t say anything, where did I go. ”
Xu Can gave up the idea for the time being, and it seemed that he still had to figure it out slowly.
……
After coming out of the moldy house, Xu Can had to rush to the company to meet with the main creative team to talk about the filming plan of “Iron Man 2” and “Team America”.
“Iron Man 2” has been confirmed to be directed by Jon Favreau, the director of the original “Iron Man 12”, played by Harpy Hogan.
Having him doesn’t necessarily guarantee how well he shoots, at least he can guarantee a blockbuster commercial blockbuster.
Jon Favreau was quite pleasantly surprised, and he was very happy to be the director, and his admiration for Xu Can was like a surging river, and he was a little scared, for fear that he would smash “Iron Man 2”.
“Don’t worry, choosing you is believing that 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 Jon Favreau.
In addition, the Russo brothers are also preparing for the crew of “Team America”, and “Mr. Peach” Chris Evans has confirmed to join.
“Bucky” actor Sebastian and “Carter” actor British beauty Hayley Atwell have all signed contracts.
Comic movies are no longer what they used to be, and they are no longer what everyone shouted and beat them up like they were a few years ago.
Many actors can’t wait to sharpen their heads and come to Xu Can to film here, and every day the agent hands over more actors’ resumes than toilet paper.
As we all know, Xu Can is “turning stones into gold”, a strong guarantee for the box office.
The inspirational story of Robert Downey Jr.’s salary skyrocketing dozens of times definitely moved most Hollywood actors.
On this day, Mr. Tao, Hailey, Downey, Sister Widow, and Little Pepper are all on the scene, they belong to different crews, but sooner or later they will appear in the same movie.
A group of actors chatted very speculatively.
Seeing Xu Can coming, they were subconsciously a little cramped.
Fortunately, Donnie and Sister Widow are very familiar with Xu Can and greet them warmly.
Mr. Tao and the others greeted each other, met for the first time, and exchanged pleasantries with each other.
Originally, several people were sitting casually around the sofa, and Pepper Gwyneth sat on the single sofa next to her and played with her mobile phone, not participating in the conversation much.
When Xu Can sat down, Pepper Gwyneth seemed to have no intention of sitting next to Xu Can.
The expression of the widow sister opposite her suddenly became a little strange.
At this time, the weather in Los Santos was already a little hot, and Gwyneth was wearing hot denim shorts, and her knees were rubbing Xu Can’s legs as if they were on the ground.
As long as Xu Can looked over, she always had a bright smile, and her eyes were almost blurred.
The girl burned really obviously.
Several people got together to talk about Marvel, during which Xu Can was a little thirsty and came to the coffee machine to make coffee by himself.
At this time, Scarlett Johansson also came up.
“Coffee?”
“Thanks, I’ll make some black tea. ”
The widow poured hot water and glanced at Gwyneth.
“Be careful, she’s a bit of a trick. ”
“Oh?” Xu Canle said, “Are you concerned about me?”
The widow sister chuckled naturally.
“I can’t bear to see you being taken advantage of. ”
“Maybe I’m playing with others?” Xu Can deliberately put “play accent.”
“So you’re brave, are you really so energetic?”
Scarlett took a sip of tea, her slender fingers swirling around the rim of the cup, her eyes charming.
The widowed sister is 24 this year, two or three years older than Xu Can, and it is reasonable to say that he is young.
“You’ll find out if you try it. (If you read a violent novel, go to Feilu Novel Network!)
Xu Can met his eyes and looked at the widow sister.
Scarlett Johansson was the first to lose, looking away, her cheeks slightly hot.
At the charity night before, she had a pull with Xu Can.
At that time, I still wanted to tease this handsome oriental guy,
This time, I felt that the emotions were so fast that Scarlett herself was shocked.
She was afraid that she would look at each other for two more seconds, and she wanted to press him against the wall.
“What’s wrong with me?”
Xu Can was also surprised.
He found out that since Jamie, who starred in “Love and Elixir”,
Not only can it handle any woman in a few words, but even the other party’s emotions can be perceived.
For the first time, the widow sister’s mentality was very stable, but she just talked about it, and there was no wave in her heart.
This time, I obviously felt that the widow sister was upset.
Oh?
Xu Can playfully watched the widow sister run away, inexplicably feeling interesting.
As long as you are willing to make an appointment, I am afraid that the probability of asking the widow sister to go out can be increased to 100%, it depends on whether Xu Can wants to think about it or not.
It’s a pity that he is pressed for time, and he has to fly back to New York in the evening to continue filming “Love and Elixir”.
Wait for the opportunity to ask the widow sister to come out later.
As an actress who is about to work together, it makes sense to come out to chat and drink, right?
……
Back in New York, the filming schedule is almost finished, and it is expected to be completed in two or three weeks. []
The original movie is mainly focused on the relationship between the male and female protagonists,
When the heroine suffers from an incurable terminal Parkinson’s disease, can the two overcome the difficulties and firmly choose to go on with each other.
Xu Can gave a lot of advice to directors and screenwriters.
He suggested adding some other details and plots to depict the impact of North American medical care.
How low-income groups struggle to survive with critical illnesses without insurance.
At the same time, it also reflects some wealthy groups,
While some people are struggling, they don’t hesitate to spend money on a small blue pill, and doctors put more energy into the little blue pill.
The original version has some discussion, but not much.
Xu Can just wants to dig deeper, at least let the audience think more,
Instead of watching the movie, just remember the outstanding merits of Anne Hathaway.
During the filming, there were inevitably several battle scenes.
Xu Can and Anne Hathaway’s solo fights, one after another, are comparable to Hollywood commercial action blockbusters.
There is no professional “martial arts instructor” in the crew, and one move and one style need to be discussed by Xu Can and Annie.
Perhaps it was the tacit understanding of the previous shooting, after the filming was completed that day, Anne Hathaway stopped Xu Can.
“I have a little idea about the movement design after that. ”
Anne was like a two-dimensional girl, shyly holding her hands behind her back, looking down and not daring to look at Xu Can.
“Yes, I also have an idea, why don’t we actually prove it?”
“Hmm. She nodded slightly.
Next, through the actual inspection, we finally confirmed that the move design that is relatively easy to implement in the lens and has a visual effect.
The two are familiar with the road in the official shooting, and they have not delayed the progress at all.
“Uh…… They really have a good understanding. ”
“Hmm. ”
Director Edward and assistant director Clark were both numb, and they just crossed Erlang’s legs on the chair and didn’t move.
“Do you think it’s true……”
“Who knows? ”
“Well, I’m going to the toilet. Assistant Director Clark got up and left.
“Cut！”
Director Edward decisively shouted a halt.
“What’s wrong? Director, didn’t you do it right?”
Xu Can was a little puzzled, he felt okay, right?
“Hmm…… Very well done. Do you think you should keep it?” asked Edward tentatively.
Xu Canka is the biggest, and he has the right to speak.
And Xu Can didn’t answer, but looked at Anne Hathaway below.
“What do you think?”
Anne was filming very hard, and she had no strength to move her fingers.
But she is still willing to persevere, and strive to shoot the lens perfectly enough.
“I thought, well, a few more to make sure the film is …… Perfect. ”
Xu Can was moved, she really deserves to be one of the most dedicated actresses in Hollywood,
starred in “Interstellar” in her previous life, she cut her long black straight hair,
Now in order to make “Love and Elixir” brilliant enough, she offered to take a few more shots with her.
“Okay, let’s have a few more. ”
“Okay, then rest for 5 minutes, I’ll go back to the RV for some business, and I’ll come back to shoot later.” ”
Director Edward also seemed a little tired, and rushed back to the RV to rest.
The crew of photography, lighting and other members left to rest, and Xu Can and Anne Hathaway were left on the set.
“Would you like to rehearse a little more to make sure the shoot goes smoothly?”
“Hmm. Anne nodded slightly.
The dedicated on-screen duo continues to hone their performances on unmanned sets.
……
“It’s done!”
“Congratulations!”
“Good work, Xu, and Anne, you have worked hard too. ”
“Love and Elixir” was officially completed, and director Edward was excited.
During this time on the set, the director’s health is getting worse and worse.
Xu Can and Anne Hathaway are in a very good state of mind.
Anne, in particular, has been looking a lot rosy lately.
“What’s next for you?”
Before leaving, Anne Hathaway asked suddenly.
Her big shining eyes were like autumn water, and she looked at Xu Can with a complicated gaze.
“I want to go back to Los Santos to take a break and get ready for the Spider-Man 2 campaign. ”
Xu Can looked at Anne with interest,
“What, can’t bear me?”
It’s no wonder that many on-screen couples come together,
The two have been through so much, and Anne Hathaway seems to have fallen.
