Zhang and Xiao stood up and bowed to everyone.

Applause broke out from the audience, and cheers resounded throughout the studio.

The live broadcast room was filled with barrages.

"I'll go, this is too funny!"

"Xiao Shen acted so well!"

"Hey, I'm so old and haven't eaten much during the Chinese New Year. Why do I still have a stomachache? I understand. I'm all laughing."

"The products produced by Xiao Shen are indeed excellent products!"

"Film and television, music, cross talk, martial arts, sketches, everything Xiao Shen can do is very good. I just want to ask, what other jobs in the entertainment industry can Xiao Shen not do?"

"This sketch is a classic!"

“···”

Backstage at the Spring Festival Gala, Zhang Yimou looked at the staff next to him and asked: "What are the ratings of Zhang Xiao's show?"

The real-time tester looked at the ratings curve and said, "The highest is 156%, the lowest is 37%, and the average rating is estimated to be around 48%."

"Mainly in the second half, the ratings have been maintained above the ultra-high level."

Hearing this result, Zhang Yimou breathed a long sigh of relief. The pressure on his shoulders suddenly eased a lot. A smile appeared on his serious face and he said: "Very good."

The ratings for this year's Spring Festival Gala were almost 30%, far exceeding last year and the year before that. Zhang Yimou has successfully completed his task.

After the performance, Zhang Xiao changed his clothes, said hello to the three of them, and then went home for the New Year's Eve dinner.

Mary looked at Xia Wanxin and said, "Wanxin, do you see that if you want to find a partner in the future, you must find a man who cares about the family?"

Xia Wanxin smiled bitterly and said: "Sister Li, how many men like Brother Xiao have a successful career and attach great importance to family, in the country?"

Mary thought for a while and said: "That's right. Men become bad when they have money. People like Mr. Zhang are indeed rare. Otherwise, you might as well become his concubine."

Xia Wanxin smiled bitterly and said: "Sister Li, do you think there are still few people who want to be Brother Xiao's concubine? Which girl in our company doesn't want to be? It's just that Brother Xiao doesn't like her."

Mary was speechless after hearing this, and said, "Okay, then pretend I didn't say anything."

Half an hour later, Zhang Xiao returned home.

Yang Mi immediately greeted him, helped him take off his coat, put it on the hanger, and said, "Mom and dad are here."

Zhang Xiao nodded and said, "Is Xiao Xinxin sleeping?"

Yang Mi replied with a smile: "She went to bed at eight o'clock."

"That's good!" Zhang Xiao nodded.

At midnight in the evening, Zhang Xiao took Yang Mi and Reba outside to set off firecrackers, and then he and his father-in-law had New Year's Eve dinner together.

While eating, Zhang Xiao looked at Yang Dingbang and asked, "Dad, when will you retire?"

"There are still two and a half months!" Yang Dingbang replied.

Zhang Xiao nodded and said: "Then when you retire, come to Yuzhou. The climate here is pleasant, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, and it is suitable for retirement!"

Yang Mi also nodded and agreed: "Yes, Dad, it's not a problem that the house I used to stay empty is not a problem. You and Mom are both coming to Yuzhou to live, so it will be more lively for everyone together."

Yang Dingbang smiled and said: "Then I don't want the courtyard house in the capital?"

"In the future, when we retire, your mother and I will often come to live here, and we will still go home occasionally."

"Okay!" Zhang Xiao and Yang Mi looked at each other and agreed with a smile.

Yang Dingbang picked up the wine glass and said: "Come on, today is the New Year. We all have it together. I wish the country will become more prosperous and our lives will become better and better. Cheers."

Gu Hao

"cheers!"

After the New Year's Eve dinner, the whole family chatted for a while and then went back to their rooms to rest.

The next day was the first day of the Lunar New Year. Zhang Xiao drove a car and took Yang Mi with him to pay New Year greetings to Li Liangjie, Chen Daoming, Li Xuejian, Wu Gang and other seniors in the film and television industry.

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Zhang Xiao came to Yu Qian's racecourse and drank all night with Guo Xiaogang and more than ten core members of Deyunju.

These boys were holding back their bad intentions, and one after another, they toasted to Zhang Xiao.

Zhang Xiao didn't get drunk after a thousand cups, so he didn't care about their conspiracy. The end result was that more than a dozen Deyunju disciples were all drunk by him alone.

Zhang Xiao, on the other hand, didn't even make a sound in his face.

At the beginning of the new year, the crew of "Cold War" came to Yuzhou to promote the film.

Zhang Xiao didn't care about the box-office competition between "Frozen," "Uncensored" and "Cold War," and directly asked Liang Jiahui to invite the director and several main actors of the production to his home.

Zhang Xiao cooked the food himself and treated them to a good meal.

After three rounds of wine and five delicious dishes, Liang Jiahui said: "Zhang Xiao, I really admire you. Then you produced an animated movie, which not only occupied the top spot in the Spring Festival, but also won 10 box office hits in the first week.

Five hundred million dollars."

"How did you kid do that?"

Zhang Xiao rolled his eyes and said, "What do you mean it was made casually?"

"For the special effects scenes in "Frozen," I hired more than 5,000 special effects artists and it took more than three months to complete."

"Not to mention the commission, I spent nearly 200 million on their daily living expenses alone."

"Two hundred million?" Aaron Kwok exclaimed: "The overall production cost of our "Chill" is only 200 million. Mr. Zhang, you really spent a lot of money for the movie!"

Zhang Xiao showed a bright smile and said: "This is a gift from me to my daughter. No matter how much money is spent, it is worth it."

Liu Huade said: "According to the current trend, the box office of "Frozen" is estimated to exceed 2 billion US dollars. If it is done well, it may even surpass your "Inception" or "The Wandering Planet"."

"You kid can earn at least 500 million US dollars."

Upon hearing this number, everyone on the "Chill" crew couldn't help but take a breath.

A box office of 500 million U.S. dollars is already impressive, but Zhang Xiao still made a net profit of 500 million U.S. dollars, which is simply awesome.

Zhang Xiao said with a smile: "I used to pay a lot of attention to the box office, but now, I pay more attention to word of mouth."

Peng Yu, who had been rarely speaking, said: "Mr. Zhang, there is no need for you to have any expectations for the box office."

"Among the top ten global box office, your "Interstellar" is the first, "Inception" is the fourth, "The Wandering Planet" is the fifth, and others such as "The Dark Knight" and "Source Code",

The "Fast and Furious" series is also in the top 20."

"With such an achievement, you don't have to worry about the box office of the movie, because there is no artist in the world who can compare with you."

After hearing this, Zhang Xiao smiled and said, "I found that you understand my movies better than I do!"

Peng Yuyan said: "Because I am a huge fan of your movies, so of course I am very familiar with your movies."

Liang Jiahui also said: "Zhang Xiao, this guy Peng Yuyan has very good acting skills and artistic ethics, and he is very self-disciplined. You should take more care of him in the future."

Zhang Xiao nodded and said: "There will definitely be opportunities to cooperate."

At this time, Yang Mi came out holding the child.

Liu Huade smiled and said: "Oh, our little princess has arrived. Come, let me hold her!"

When Zhang Xiao heard this, he almost spit out the contents of his mouth and said: "I call you Brother Hua, you really think of yourself as a young man. At your age, Xiao Xinxin has to call you grandpa."

.”

"Hahaha!" Everyone laughed.
Chapter completed!
