Chapter 104
After all, she had been in the film industry for so many years without making a splash, while Xu Feng soared on his very first attempt.
She would inevitably feel a bit unbalanced.
I want to see if you're really that awesome!
Two hours later.
The "Fairy Sister" walked out of the cinema with dazed eyes.
She felt as if Xu Feng were standing right in front of her, slapping her in the face and saying:
"I am just that awesome!"
Seven days after the release of "Death Note," the cumulative box office exceeded 220 million dollars!
If this result were in the domestic market, it would absolutely deal a dimensionality-reduction strike to those rotten films released in a cluster.
But unfortunately, this thing would never pass censorship in China.
Another small regret is that the opening week box office champion wasn't him either.
"Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" had an opening week box office of 270 million dollars!
DC brought out two of their pillars at once.
This box office appeal is still rock solid.
"Boss, should we buy some box office? It's not that much of a difference."
After reporting the opening week box office, Nazha said excitedly.
Then she had her forehead flicked by Xu Feng's hooked finger.
Are you crazy!?
If you were trying to break some domestic box office record, buying box office might be understandable.
Is it worth being sick just for an opening week box office?
However, methods like buying out screenings are fine; at least it's your own money.
What's even sleazier is stealing box office.
It's said that in his past life, Liu Haocun's film did that.
That ruins one's reputation!
You can spend some money on this! Even if it's done sneakily? It doesn't cost much~
However, as time fermented, the box office for "Death Note" continued to surge.
"Batman v Superman" began to show signs of decline.
Many netizens online who watched both films expressed.
If you want to watch both, it's recommended to watch "Death Note" first, then "Batman v Superman."
Otherwise, you'll feel like your brain has been raped.
Yeah, it's like at a music festival or concert, if the previous singer just rocked the house, and the next one performs unsatisfactorily.
Then the flaws are easily magnified infinitely.
Same principle.
Half a month after release, "Batman v Superman" had a cumulative box office of 540 million, with "Death Note" following closely at 510 million.
Upon hearing this news, the domestic onlookers were even more excited than Xu Feng himself.
[Awesome, Xu the Scumbag! In half a month, he broke the record of "The Mermaid." This is heading for the 5 billion mark!]
[Before, when Xu the Scumbag said that not being released domestically cost him at least 3 billion in box office, he was bragging. Now it seems he was actually being modest.]
[More than 3 billion, at least 4 billion!]
[Come back and film soon, show those rotten films what's what.]
[We really need Xu Feng to put some pressure on the Chinese film market. What the hell is all this garbage?]
[No, no, no, give me the third season of "Bleach" first.]
When the release reached the third week, Xu Feng also stopped the roadshow.
Damn, his nutrition couldn't keep up.
And Xu Feng didn't leave just yet; he had other things to attend to—
Casting for "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stardust Crusaders."
Jotaro aside, the main cast's Polnareff, and those villains under DIO who appear in this road-trip film.
Basically had to be foreign actors.
After all, just like the names of the Espada in "Bleach," names like J. Geil and Hol Horse are really not suitable for domestic actors to play.
The news that Xu Feng was holding auditions for actors soon spread through the Hollywood entertainment circle.
You have to know that the heat of "Death Note" hadn't dissipated at all, and the box office was still slightly behind "Batman v Superman."
But anyone with a brain could think of one problem.
That is, "Batman v Superman" was released in mainland China.
Enjoying this huge cake all to itself.
And Xu Feng, as a Chinese person, had indeed lost the most important support from his fellow countrymen.
In this duel, the winner should be "Death Note"!
But even so, the results Xu Feng achieved were already terrifying enough.
For a time, many rising Hollywood superstars came to audition.
"This won't do!"
In the familiar Netflix headquarters building, Xu Feng slapped his forehead in a headache.
Although it's indeed much easier to find muscular men here in the US than at home.
But performing that specific flavor is another matter entirely.
Other roles were easier to handle, but Jotaro just couldn't be decided upon.
The most important thing about JoJo is to perform that demonic, stylish flavor.
A very important point where "Stardust Crusaders" differs from "Bleach" is that the villains basically change every episode.
Therefore, Xu Feng could slowly teach the actors playing the villains to perform that flavor himself.
But Jotaro can't do that.
Damn, you can't have him teaching every single second of dozens of episodes, right?
The actor must perceive the soul of this character himself.
"Boss, boss! A Hollywood superstar is here!"
Miss Nazha jumped to Xu Feng's side, startled.
Xu Feng raised an eyebrow?
A superstar?
He was sick of seeing superstars these past two days.
However, when the person entered the door, Xu Feng was still stunned for a moment.
Henry Cavill?
That's right, it was the actor who played Superman in "Batman v Superman," which was currently competing with "Death Note" for the highest global box office of the year.
The emperor's enterprise is not yet half-finished, and he's already defecting to Wei?
"Mr. Xu, can I try out for an audition?"
Henry Cavill asked.
"Um, no problem."
Xu Feng also reacted quickly and asked:
"Jotaro?"
Must say, Henry Cavill's appearance was indeed very suitable for "JoJo."
"...No, I want to try Polnareff."
Henry Cavill?
He had read the script, but didn't have the confidence to audition for Jotaro.
On the other hand, he found the funny guy Polnareff quite interesting.
"...Let's try Jotaro first, run a scene with me."
Xu Feng clearly didn't intend to let go of an actor with such high compatibility with Jotaro.
Full of muscles, tall, and his looks were flawless, actually reaching one-third of his own level.
An hour later.
"The next one is you, Jotaro."
Xu Feng looked arrogant, reaching out to point at the other person.
"Bastard... DIO!"
Henry Cavill shouted.
"Oh~ so you're coming closer? Instead of running away, you're approaching me, DIO?"
Xu Feng raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a smile full of mockery.
"If I don't get closer, how can I beat you to a pulp?"
Henry Cavill shouted.
"Cut!"
Just then, Xu Feng suddenly raised his hand and scolded.
At Henry Cavill...
"Wrong! I already told you that the character of Jotaro must..."
Xu Feng explained the elements of playing Jotaro to Henry Cavill again.
"Sir, I really can't perform that feeling..."
Henry Cavill said.
"...Sigh, forget it, forget it, try the Polnareff scene for me to see."
Another ten minutes passed.
Henry Cavill... signed the contract for Polnareff.
"Fuck! What should I do?"
Xu Feng crossed his legs and dangled them on the desk.
"Um... Boss, since you understand this character so well, why don't you try it yourself?"
Looking at Xu Feng's irritable appearance, Miss Nazha pursed her lips and gathered the courage to say.
"Hmm?"
Xu Feng raised his eyebrows.
