Wang Lexin trotted over happily, her delicate white face looking extremely excited. She caught up with Hao Huan and stretched out her phone.

Hao Huan said arrogantly, "I don't want to watch it!"

"..."

Wang Lexin's excited and happy face instantly turned cold.

She said dissatisfied: "The box office of "Saw 2" in North America has reached 2500 million yuan! It is almost equivalent to 1.6 million yuan!"

"Oh, it's okay."

Hao Huan replied blankly, Wang Lexin was so angry that he wanted to beat him up with his fists!

She pouted displeasedly: ""Orphan's Grudge" only earned 1.8 million yuan at the box office in North America for two days. Now, "Saw 2" has already made 1.6 million yuan in less than a day after its release!"

"Oh." Hao Huan responded perfunctorily.

Wang Lexin stomped her feet angrily: "Can't you care about the box office of "Saw 2"!"

Hao Huan said casually, "Why should I care? I didn't make this movie!"

"..."

Well, what you said makes sense, and I, Wang Lexin, am speechless!

She stayed away from Hao Huan in disgust, and walked back to complain to Liu Yuxi and the others: "The box office in North America is so good, but he is still indifferent. It's too much!"

Liu Yuxi scornfully said: "Why are you back? Go and tell your boss the good news! When I asked you about the North American box office just now, I ran away with excitement after just one glance. I didn't tell us how much the box office was. Now I'm exhausted again. Are you thinking of coming back and treating us as spare tires?"

"..."

Wang Lexin is very tired, why are you all so annoying!

Can't you speak well?

Can't you just share the joy?

"Saw 2" Yeah!The premiere has exceeded [-] million at home and abroad!
You can't praise me?

Can't you just congratulate me from the bottom of your heart?This is the first film I've directed in a real sense. Wow!
Hao Huan never interfered from beginning to end!But why do you ignore me when I am so happy...

Thinking about it, Wang Lexin was so wronged that she wanted to eat two more bowls of rice tonight!
so bullying...

Fortunately, as the eldest sister, Song Jiayi could see what Wang Lexin was thinking in her heart, and she praised it unceremoniously: "I just heard from you and Hao Huan that the box office of the North American premiere of "Saw 2" Reached 1.6 million yuan? This is amazing!
24 hours are not up yet!Maybe the box office will reach 24 million yuan in 2 hours!This has surpassed the box office record of "Orphan's Resentment" at the time. I didn't expect another domestic film to be a big hit at the North American box office! "

Wang Lexin felt relieved when she heard this kind of words, and smiled: "Sister Jiayi, I made this movie!"

Song Jiayi asked cooperatively: "What? Wasn't it taken by Hao Huan?"

Wang Lexin floated: "It wasn't him who filmed it! He was busy with the post-production of "Infernal Affairs" at that time! "Saw 2" was directed by myself. He never came to direct, nor did he Didn't come to teach me!"

Song Jiayi exclaimed: "Wow! Are you so awesome? You actually directed a movie by yourself?"

"Hey, it's okay!"

Wang Lexin felt that a pair of wings were growing from her back, and she was about to fly into the sky!

Liu Yuxi couldn't stand it anymore, and said: "Sister Jiayi, your acting skills are too exaggerated! Only she can't see it, thinking you are really praising her!"

"Acting skills?"

Just as Wang Lexin was about to float up, she was thrown back to the original place by Liu Yuxi's words!

"Ah! You guys are so annoying!"

Wang Lexin left the team in disgust, and walked towards the restaurant, her little face was swollen with anger, and her bust was also swollen with anger.

Liu Yuxi couldn't help laughing and said: "It's so fun, let's bully her more in the future, seeing her unhappy, my mood will be beautiful in an instant!"

Song Jiayi said with a smile on her aunt's face, "She's too cute, she's making me laugh."

Liu Yuxi complained: "She is not cute, she is cute! Don't look at her. She also likes to show a serious look when she is working with Hao Huan in movies. After you get to know her for a long time, you will find that she has a lot of emotions in private. How silly and funny. I have made fun of her several times for her innocent look, and I don’t know how she managed to make a movie with such a character? It’s really incredible!”

Song Jiayi said: "Could it be that her talent as a director was bought with IQ?"

"puff!"

Liu Yuxi laughed and said: "It's really possible, her IQ is used in making movies, so she's so stupid in private."

If they hadn't been in contact with her for a long time and discovered that Wang Lexin was a naive and a bit stupid girl, they would really think that Wang Lexin was just pretending.

When entering the restaurant to prepare for dinner, Wang Lexin looked at Hao Huan, Liu Yuxi and the others, wanting to take the bowl to the corner and squat down to eat.

So annoying!

Watching them is so infuriating!

She took a mouthful of white rice, poking the bowl angrily with her chopsticks.

At this time, a chicken leg suddenly appeared in the bowl, and Hao Huan said without hesitation: "The box office is good, I'll reward you!"

"thank you boss!"

Wang Lexin instantly felt comfortable and happy^_^
This time it's not a reward for chicken ass!

Let me just say, he was obviously excited to death after hearing the box office results of "Saw 2", but he deliberately didn't show it!

Wang Lexin happily grabbed the chicken leg and took a bite, and found that the chicken leg meat was so loose that it fell off as soon as he bit it?

Then I saw that her eyes were full of anger!

Where are the chicken legs!

It's obviously a chicken leg bone inserted into a big chicken butt to disguise it!
"I am full!"

She put down the chicken butt disguised as chicken legs, and this time she was really unhappy.

Hao Huan suppressed his smile, thinking about Wang Lexin's face changing from depressed to happy, and then from happy to dissatisfied, it's really funny.

He couldn't help laughing and said: "Didn't I just make a little joke with you? This is enough to be full! Forget it, when you are full, go and arrange the props and food there. I don't know which guy deserves to be beaten so badly, but put it indiscriminately! "

"Oh!"

With a bitter face, Wang Lexin walked to the front of the restaurant, where there was a long table of fruit delicacies, and these fruit delicacies were all props, not edible, and were specially used for filming.

She knelt down to pick up two fake apples, and just stood up to put them away when two bangs sounded behind her head, which startled her.

I saw some ribbons and sequins falling towards her in the air.

For a moment, Wang Lexin was dumbfounded.

What does it mean?
Why did you suddenly salute me?

Immediately afterwards, there was another bang on her head, and more ribbons and sequins fell down, and at the same time, a red vertical congratulatory couplet suddenly fell and hung in the air.

Wang Lexin looked up, and there were many golden words written on the vertical congratulatory couplet: Congratulations to "Chain Saw 2", which has double blossoms at home and abroad, and its premiere exceeded [-] million yuan!

Then, warm applause rang out, and the staff of the crew applauded desperately, and the unsuspecting actors like Liu Yuxi also applauded and cheered after they realized it.

No wonder Hao Huan ignored Wang Lexin!It turned out that this was such a surprise prepared for her!

Oh man.

She was inexplicably envious!
Wang Lexin is already in a daze, so why is she getting fat now?

He has cooperated many times and has become the foreman of the royal photography team, Lao Wu, who is in charge of arranging this surprise. He suddenly took out the microphone and said, "Congratulations to Director Wang for the box office! The last time "Chain Saw 2" was finished, it was not held." The final feast, we will make up for it today!"

As he said that, he walked towards Wang Lexin, handed another microphone to Wang Lexin, and hosted, ""Chain Saw 2" achieved such excellent box office results at home and abroad on the day of its premiere, while we congratulate Director Wang, please invite Director Wang Speak, say a speech!"

Wang Lexin was so nervous that her hand was shaking when she took the microphone. Although many of the crew members were already very familiar with each other, she was pushed out unsuspectingly and unprepared in this situation and became the center of attention. , so that she was so nervous now that she didn't know what to say.

"Thank... thank you everyone."

She said nervously: "I...I went to eat..."

After finishing speaking, she put the microphone back into Old Wu's hand, slipped away quickly, returned to the dining table and sat down, holding the half-eaten meal, her little hands trembling non-stop.

Hao Huan wanted to laugh: "Are you surprised? Are you surprised? Are you stimulating?"

surprise?

It's all scary!

But although Wang Lexin was frightened and nervous, she was still happy and touched. I didn't expect that the boss and the others had prepared such a big surprise for me...

Old Wu presided over the meeting dumbfounded: "Master Hao, Director Wang is so nervous that he has given up his job. Why don't you come up and make a speech?"

Hao Huan kicked the stool Wang Lexin was sitting on lightly and said, "Didn't I say you were full? Hurry up and say something casually, and then share the cake!"

The staff has pushed 10 cakes up, enough for the crew of 200 people to eat.

Wang Lexin was driven away from the dinner table, said a few words of thanks nervously, and then flattered Hao Huan, saying that the box office of "Saw 2" was so good, it was all because of the boss's good teaching and teamwork .

After saying that, she sneaked away to share the cake with everyone, making her feel like it was her birthday.
This can be regarded as making up for the birthday I didn’t celebrate in March, right?
She brought a cake to Hao Huan herself, and said happily, "Thank you boss, boss eats the cake!"

Hao Huan was surprised and said, "Why are you thanking me? I didn't prepare this surprise for you!"

Wang Lexin's smile froze and said: "Then...then who prepared this?"

Hao Huan said: "Old Wu and the others prepared it! Otherwise, do you think this is a surprise I prepared for you?"

"Oh……"

Wang Lexin picked up the cake she had just put down and gave it to Huang Hao next to her.

Hao Huan is also convinced, are you so realistic?A second ago, you were smiling and thanking the boss, the boss ate the cake, but now you hear that it was not the surprise that the boss prepared for you, so you just gave the cake to someone else!

"Wang Lexin, you're done!"

Hao Huan snatched the cake and refused to give it to Huang Hao. He snorted and said, "I was just talking casually to test your loyalty. Now that the test results are out, I'll tell you when you're finished!"

"..."

Wang Lexin didn't even know which sentence Hao Huan said was true and which sentence was false!

Huang Hao said contemptuously: "Don't be afraid of him, girl Wang, this guy is deliberately bullying you to make you happy! You are so smart and capable, how could he let you die! Go, go and bring me a cake , let me also enjoy your box office happiness!"

"Oh……"

Wang Lexin ran away quickly, in case what Hao Huan said was true, then it would really be over.

And Hao Huan did deliberately scare her and make her happy. As Huang Hao said, although Wang Lexin's personality is quite stupid, her IQ is actually not stupid, she is just a simple person.Thinking about how she arranged work on the set, directed and filmed, etc., she was very organized, careful and focused, so if Hao Huan really let her die, it would be Hao Huan himself who would lose.

Wang Lexin, this stupid pig is a cash cow!
The point is, she is not greedy for money!
She wouldn't even dare to ask for money if given to her. Where could she find an assistant with the attributes of a lucky cat?
For dessert after dinner, after Hao Huan ate the cake, her stomach was a little full. She looked at Wang Lexin, who was absent-minded and seemed like a deer in her heart. She even smeared cream on her face after eating the cake, and said: "Don't be so nervous, I just talked about scaring you before, how can I let you die? At most, I will punish you to write a letter of guarantee!"

"All right……"

Wang Lexin ate the cake with a sullen head. She hadn't eaten the meal before, so she could only eat the cake until she was full. Anyway, she has the physique of not getting fat, so she can eat whatever she wants.

Hao Huan stood up and reminded: "Remember to take a shower and rest early after eating and drinking enough, so as not to affect the filming work during the day!"

"Yes!"

"learn!"

"understood!"

Everyone responded in unison, Hao Huan went back to his room first.

Only then did Wang Lexin heave a sigh of relief, and quickly asked Old Wu: "Did the boss ask you to prepare this cake or something?"

Old Wu said with a wry smile: "That's for sure! Didn't you realize that today's dinner is very sumptuous? This is the wrap-up banquet for "Chain Saw 2" specially prepared by Hao Shao. By the way, let's celebrate the box office and give you some encouragement. It's a pity The leading actors of "Chain Saw 2" are not here, but the crew of the crew are all us, so tonight can be regarded as the celebration banquet of "Chain Saw 2."

"Oh……"

Wang Lexin said with some relief: "So he still has a conscience!"

Old Wu said with a smile: "Although this kid has an unpleasant personality and likes to hate and criticize people when making movies, he is still a good person, and his temper is not bad! The point is that he knows the distinction between public and private, and knows how to be considerate and caring." The behind-the-scenes staff, unlike other directors and producers, not to mention the salary increase for the behind-the-scenes workers, it is already good if we do not deduct our salary!"

"This is also..."

Wang Lexin nodded and continued to eat the cake. Since "Saw", Hao Huan has been really kind to the behind-the-scenes team. Others' production costs are mostly spent on star actors, and his production costs, in addition to buying Except for cruise ships and yachts, most of them are spent on the salary of the behind-the-scenes team.

Because he knows that apart from the director, actors and a good script, the main factors that determine the success of a film are the dedication and hard work of the behind-the-scenes workers.

It is also because of this that Lao Wu took his camera team and only made films for Hao Huan. After the filming of Hao Huan’s film, he would not take other film jobs, because he was afraid that Hao Huan would suddenly shoot When the movie wanted them, they couldn't find the time.

Fortunately, Hao Huan's film output is quite high, so they feel that they can make at least three Hao Huan films in a year, and the money they earn is much more than what they used to make in three or four years.

Think about it, it's good.

Wang Lexin also felt very good.

With the right boss, you don't have to worry about eating and drinking, and you don't have to worry about making money!
