September.

The sun was still high overhead.

The air outlet on the side of the living room blows cold air gently.

After Yan Fei sat on the sofa and took the water glass handed over by Xue Jiajia, he said with an uneasy expression, ""The Journey to Ax Mountain" can't be released on the National Day file."

"What's wrong? Is there a problem?"

"The higher ups don't allow movies of this kind of theme to be released in popular schedules."

Shao Yang raised his eyebrows and said, "Why is this happening? There was no such rule before?"

Yan Fei explained: "The new regulations have made the requirements for movies and TV series more stringent in recent years, and many movies and TV series have been forced to be taken off the shelves."

Seeing Yan Fei's lonely face, Shao Yang said with a smile: "Since there are regulations above, we just have to abide by them. Just during this time, I will ask someone to communicate with the Kimchi Country to see if this movie can be played in the Kimchi Country." Cannot be released simultaneously."

"Is it possible to release it in Kimchi Country?"

"How is it impossible? I bought a film company in Kimchi Country, and now I have a say in the film and television industry in Kimchi Country."

Yan Fei was surprised: "You bought a movie company from Kimchi Country?"

"Ah."

"Why haven't I heard of this?"

Shao Yang said with a smile: "Those who know about this, there may not be more than ten people in the country. It's normal if you don't know. When you started filming "Axe Mountain Journey", I also had a TV series that had already started filming in Kimchi Country, but the filming of the TV series It’s troublesome to get up, and I guess the filming won’t be finished so soon.”

Yan Fei held out his thumb and said, "This is the first time I've heard of someone buying a foreign film company. Before that, foreign capital bought domestic companies. Shaoyang, you are really good at it."

"I just like doing things that no one else has done."

"Since this is the case, then I will communicate with the theaters, and we will release it in November?"

"Ah."

We talked a little about the movie.

Shao Yang looked up at the time, and said with a smile: "Director Yan, I'll cook two dishes for lunch, let's have some drinks together?"

"Forget it, forget it, I won't be a light bulb in your house anymore, I'll treat you to dinner another day when I'm free, I'm also settled in Shanghai now."

"Yes, congratulations."

Yan Fei laughed and said, "It's not thanks to you."

Shao Yang got up and sent Yan Fei to the door, suddenly remembered something, he hurriedly said: "Director Yan, how about going to a movie together when you have time in October?"

Yan Fei was puzzled and said, "Watching a movie? What kind of movie are you watching?"

""Time Traveler", this movie has been so popular before it was released, and it is said to be the first real sci-fi movie. Such a great movie, we shouldn't study it?"

"Okay, you can call me anytime."

……

evening.

Peng Ming also returned home after a day of movie promotion work.

When Sun Hui heard the sound of the door opening, she quickly turned her head and glanced at the door, and found that it was Peng Ming who had returned. She quickly got up and said, "Oh, my good son is finally back."

"Mom, it's for you."

Peng Ming handed a bouquet of carnations to Sun Hui, and said with a smile, "I happened to pass by a flower shop when I came back, so I bought a bouquet for you."

"It's so beautiful... have you eaten?"

"I've eaten." Peng Ming looked around and said softly, "Where's Dad?"

"Your dad hasn't come back from the company yet."

Peng Ming heaved a sigh of relief and sat down on the sofa. Seeing Sun Hui put the carnations one by one into the vase on the table, Peng Ming hesitated for a while and asked, "Mom, I'm going to the capital tomorrow, maybe How many days will it take to come back?"

"Ah? You're leaving again? It's been two months since you returned home? You haven't stayed at home for a week, have you?"

"Isn't this movie about to be released soon?"

"Yes, yes, my son is grown up and has his own business."

Peng Ming hurriedly said: "Mom, this month is very important to me. I plan to spend money on a few programs to promote the movie. Can you give me some more money?"

Hearing this, Sun Hui's flower-arranging hands hung in the air, and the smile on her face gradually disappeared. She said, "Didn't I give you so much money, isn't it enough?"

Peng Ming sighed, and said worriedly, "I never thought it would cost so much money to promote a movie."

"Xiao Ming, let me tell you the truth. When you asked me for money one after another in the United States, Mom already gave you all the money on your body. The money you gave you after you returned to China was all from your mother. Dad took it secretly, if you let your dad know..."

Peng Ming got up quickly and said, "Mom, don't worry, as long as the movie is released, you can earn it all back."

"Mom really can't afford the money now."

"Then I'll figure it out myself."

Seeing that Peng Ming was a bit disappointed, Sun Hui hurriedly said again: "How about... Let me tell your dad, if you work so hard this time, maybe he will help you."

"No, I can think of a way myself."

……

September passed quickly.

At the end of the month, there are signs of autumn.

October [-]st.

National Day.

Rarely, there are fewer people on the streets of Shanghai than usual. Many office workers would choose to lay their bodies at home on the first day of the holiday, and those who went out to travel basically left last night.

Shaoyang took his wife and children to his mother-in-law's house in the morning, and after lunch, he slept until three o'clock in the afternoon.

"Mom, Jiajia and I went out for a trip, and we probably won't be back until very late, so you don't have to wait for me."

Liu Hongyu thought that the two of them were going to live a two-person world. She was waiting to have a second child and she agreed: "You go, let Niuniu sleep with me tonight, and you don't come to pick her up."

After speaking, Liu Hongyu bent down again and looked at Niu Niu who was holding snacks in both hands and her mouth was full of oil, and asked, "Niu Niu, how about sleeping with grandma at night?"

"Good~"

Niuniu agreed almost without thinking. After all, at home, she would still be under the supervision of her mother, but at her grandmother's house, she could do whatever she wanted.

Shaoyang and Xue Jiajia looked at each other and smiled helplessly.

Liu Hongyu waved her hand: "Let's go, let's go, hold on tight."

The two put on their shoes and came to the yard and sat in the car. Xue Jiajia belatedly asked, "What does it mean that my mother told us to hold on tight?"

"What else do you mean, you want a second child."

Xue Jiajia patted his forehead and said, "One child is enough to be annoying, and I don't know how I will be annoyed by another one."

Shao Yang called Yan Fei in the car, and after agreeing on a place to meet, he drove straight to the cinema. Two or ten minutes later, the two families met in the parking lot of the cinema.

Putting on a mask and hat, Shaoyang took Xue Jiajia to the theater and took a seat after successfully getting the tickets.

After a full 5 minutes of commercials were broadcast on the big screen, the feature film finally started.

The movie is a full two hours long.

The general plot is that the protagonist travels to a parallel world with a machine that can foresee the future. After experiencing a series of crises, he sacrifices himself in the original world and saves a disaster in the parallel world.

The technology of foreign science fiction movies is already very advanced, so some pictures are quite shocking to those who have never seen science fiction movies.

For two hours, everyone was watching the movie seriously, and there was almost no other sound.

After the end.

Shaoyang deliberately waited for most of the people to leave before getting up and taking Xue Jiajia away.

Inside the parking lot.

Shao Yang asked, "Director Yan, what do you think?"

"Seven points for the plot, six points for the acting skills, and nine points for the sense of picture. Most of the scenes were shot in the studio, and then rendered through post-processing. There are very few such movies in China. I estimate the box office should be around 15 billion."

"About what I thought."

"It's a pity that "The Journey to the Ax Mountain" cannot be released on the National Day file, otherwise it can really compete at the box office."

Shao Yang patted Yan Fei on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Don't think too much, you are going to take a few leading actors to Kimchi Country in November, and someone will arrange a road show for you there."

"Ah."

……

One past midnight.

After waiting for a day, Peng Ming received the data from the cinema.

"Time Traveler" box office on the first day: 600 million.

Looking at the box office results, Peng Ming let out a long sigh of relief, and instantly felt that all hardships have been rewarded.
