That night, Kobe Bryant posted photos of the front and back of the painting on Twitter.

Caption:

"My friend Xu, a talented director. When we were chatting together, he drew a picture. Thank you, man. To that child whose dream has never been extinguished."

There are two pictures in total.

One picture shows the back of John Wick walking into the rainy night with a gun.

One picture shows the boy stubbornly shooting the ball.

Kobe naturally has a lot of Twitter followers.

As soon as he posted these two photos, they immediately attracted the attention of many fans.

However, no one has any association with these two paintings.

Kobe's Twitter is not very commercial. Most of the time he posts about things in his life. Similar tweets, such as "Drinking with XX today" or "Cartoons my daughters watch".

There are not many fragments of human life.

So after seeing these two paintings, everyone didn't think too much about them.

It just feels... quite rough.

Although I admit that that sentence is quite good, but... the simple line drawings are really not particularly amazing in everyone's eyes.

But Kobe really liked it.

The next day, Xu Xin received his message.

He ordered a photo frame for this line drawing.

It was placed on top of his fireplace.

Pictures with family members.

Xu Xin understood that it was not that there was anything special about his painting.

The reason why Kobe put this painting in that position is just because he put it in his childhood self.

But the one who really responded enthusiastically was the Chinese side.

As... almost the most popular sports star in China, the Olympic Games can suppress delegations and players from all other countries, and receive cheers and applause that are comparable to those of Chinese players when they enter the stadium. Kobe and

This wave of collaboration between Xu Xin and the gods has aroused at least one topic on the Internet that has entered the top 20 hot searches.

Everyone is curious about how Kobe and Xu Xin met.

I am also curious about the meaning of those two paintings.

The little boy who shot the basketball could understand, probably Kobe himself.

What's the back of the man in the suit?

They don't understand.

However, Keanu Reeves, who has nothing to do with the NBA, liked Kobe's tweet.

Of course, this matter was quickly lost in the flood of information on the Internet.

No one cared about it.

…

On July 5th, US time, "Man of Tai Chi" will be released across the board.

After Keanu Reeves came back, he was busy promoting, and Xu Xin never met him.

On July 5th, he made a special trip to the cinema to see what this movie was like.

But...to be honest, the attendance rate is average.

Even though the film received a lot of praise in Cannes, the theater where Xu Xin went during the prime time slot at around 8 pm was not full.

Soon, the video starts.

The film, which cost less than 15 million... estimated to cost only 20 million U.S. dollars at most including promotions and distribution, has begun to air.

And more than an hour later...

Xu Xin sighed helplessly.

well.

When he got home at night and saw his wife who had just returned from Luc Besson's place, his first words were:

"Old Chen is still suitable to be a martial artist, forget about acting."

Yang Mi was not surprised.

Because she had seen the trailer of "Man of Tai Chi".

The so-called expert will know if there is anything as soon as he takes action.

Of course there is no problem with Brother Ji, but... the scenes with Lao Chen are awkward no matter how you look at them.

What's more, my husband is a director.

What kind of actor he is can be determined almost at a glance.

So he asked:

"What about putting aside acting skills? How about that?"

"It's okay. It's very immature, but the film was shot in a straightforward manner. The story also has the expressions it should have. He, Simon Yam, and Mok Wenwei also supported the other characters. Overall, after watching it,

You may not think it’s as exciting as you imagined, but you definitely can’t criticize it.”

“What about attendance?”

"It's not full... Facts have proved that even with Keanu's bonus, it's quite difficult for a group of Asians to have a good time in Hollywood..."

"..."

Hearing this, Yang Mi suddenly fell silent.

Xu Xin drank half a bottle of water, turned to look at his wife who was in a daze, and asked:

"What's wrong?"

As he said that, he immediately realized what he had just said...

"Hey, look at my crow mouth."

"That's not the case."

Yang Mi shook her head slightly:

"I'm not afraid of "Pacific Rim" being a blockbuster. No matter what, that movie is still a qualified popcorn movie. I was thinking about "LUCY"..."

"I advise you not to make any estimates for the North American market. As long as Luc Besson doesn't do tricks in that film, I guess... with the reputation of "The Killer Is Not So Cold" and your reputation, it should be fine. Including

The same is true for "Pacific Rim". You don't have the historical mission to improve the status of Asian actors... Let's not think about taking the lead, just do your own job. The country is your basic base."

In fact, in the past few days, he could sense that his wife's mentality was a bit unbalanced.

Just like she said.

The road went so smoothly, and success became a matter of course at some point.

Then if there is a slight storm, it will stir up waves in my heart.

He has been thinking about it these past few days, but he hasn't found any opportunity.

In the final analysis, the film "Pacific Rim" is an industrial product of science fiction special effects. I obviously knew that I was positioned as a tool when I took the script, but in the past two days, I have been searching for relevant news on the WHAT'S APP and Twitter.

On the surface, I say I don't care, but on the inside I still care.

This kind of behavior is certainly correct, but in his opinion it is not worthy.

Maybe...she will feel better only when the movie is released in North America and China and everything settles.

And the two of them did not extend the topic any further.

It's getting late, so it's really a good idea to go to bed early.

Then, at noon on July 6, Xu Xin sent a message to Brother Ji and asked about the box office on the first day. The reply he received was: the box office on the first day in North America was US$3.17 million.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! In fact, it is not optimistic.

Hollywood has a very standard three-fold return on investment principle.

If the cost of this film is 20 million US dollars, this film can earn back at least 60 million US dollars.

Including China, this film was released in a total of 7 countries.

Just when Xu Xin was wondering how he would get back his money, Brother Ji sent another message:

"The box office of Tianchao on the first day has also come out, 21.4 million."

This box office figure is not too exaggerated, but Xu Xin understands that it should not be difficult for this film to return its money.

The North American side calculates a box office of more than 20 million. If the Chinese side calculates based on this data, the final box office result should be between 250 and 300 million.
