Rebirth: I am working in the entertainment industry

Chapter 83 Returning to Hometown for the New Year

Through the blessing of Zuo Mingzhou's kung fu easter eggs, the box office of "The Grandmaster" exceeded 4 million yuan in 1.8 days, 10 million yuan in the first week, and reached 2.2 million yuan in the 3th day of release. Then it was unable to succeed, and the final box office was less than [-] million yuan.

The outside world thought that the box office of "The Grandmaster" would be very impressive even if it did not reach the heights of "囧" with the popular fried chicken Zuo Mingzhou joining the cast.

The box office of 3 million really poured cold water on everyone.

Industry insiders couldn't help but point out that the low-budget box office miracles of "33 Days After Love" and "囧囧" are just exceptions.

On February 2, the costume mythological film "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons", produced, written, and directed by Zhou Xingxing, starring Hua Zhao, Shu Qi, Huang Bo, etc., was officially released in China. It received 10 million yuan in box office on the first day, setting a new record for Chinese-language films. First day box office record.The cumulative total in two days was 7658 million yuan, and the box office in three days exceeded 1.51 million yuan.From the first to the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, the box office of "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" exceeded 2.2 million yuan in the six days it was released.

Only then did everyone believe that the Chinese-language film market had taken off. As long as the quality of the film satisfied the tastes of the audience, the box office of over [-] million yuan was just the beginning.

Countless capital parties waved their money and rushed into the film market. This scene recreated the grand occasion when coal bosses and local wealthy people invested in film production.

"I'd better not go and find a hotel to stay in!" Zhao Xiaodao pulled the small suitcase with a hesitant look on his face.

"We agreed at the beginning that in order to repay my kindness, you would accompany me home for the New Year and take care of my parents!"

There was a scene like this on the streets of Lingnan. A man held a woman in his arms and dragged her forward, like an eagle holding a chick.

If the woman struggled for a moment, the kind-hearted and enthusiastic people would definitely act bravely and call the police.

The heavy snow in the north arrived belatedly a few days before the first day of the Lunar New Year. The entire small county was soaked in white, and the north wind blew, making it extremely cold!

Zuo Mingzhou and Zhao Xiaodao were walking on the streets of Lingnan wearing thick down jackets, gloves and hats, and were wrapped tightly, so they were not recognized.

Far away from the villa next to Jinshui Lake, Zuo Mingzhou saw a woman standing at the door looking around. The snow was very light today, but the woman at the door was wearing snow-white clothes. It was obvious that Zuo's mother was already waiting at the door. It’s been a long time.

"Mom, it's such a cold day, just wait for me in the house. I'm not a child, so I can't find a home." From a long distance away, Zuo Mingzhou rushed over and took Zuo's mother directly. He hugged her and wiped off the snowflakes on his mother's head and clothes.

Zhao Xiaodao looked at this tender scene with envy on his face.

"Who is this girl?" From the moment she saw her son, Zuo's mother's attention had been on Zhao Xiaodao next to Zuo Mingzhou.

"Hello, aunt!" Zhao Xiaodao greeted quickly without waiting for Zuo Mingzhou's introduction.

Zuo Mingzhou only felt a chill in his arms. Zuo's mother pushed Zuo Mingzhou away and held Zhao Xiaodao's hand affectionately.

This situation, combined with the falling snowflakes, made Zuo Mingzhou unable to help but want to sing "One Cut Plum" by Fei Yuqing.

So, does love disappear?

While Zuo Mingzhou was stunned, Zuo's mother had already taken Zhao Xiaodao's hand and returned to the villa.

"Mom, you forgot your precious son!"

Entering the house, Zuo Mingzhou saw his father and mother gathered around Zhao Xiaodao to greet him, and his eldest brother Zuo Dahai was serving tea and snacks beside him, looking like a dog-legged person.

Zuo Mingzhou has been in for 10 minutes, and no one in the room noticed his presence except his eldest brother who gave him a please look.

"Auntie, I'm hungry." Zhao Xiaodao discovered Zuo Mingzhou's predicament and found an excuse to dispel Zuo Mingzhou's resentment.

"What are you doing standing around? Go to the kitchen and serve food!" Zuo's mother yelled at Zuo Mingzhou.

Only then did Zuo Mingzhou realize the meaning of his existence.

When the dishes were served, a new round of torture began.

When she first entered the house, Zuo's mother had already touched Zhao Xiaodao's lower body, and now she began to look forward to the future.

"When will you get married?"

"How many children do you want!"

"I've thought of all the names. You guys can decide which one suits you best!"

A rich family dinner became Zuo's mother's personal performance show.

Perhaps because he was tired, Father Zuo started talking about the family's shortcomings.

"It's better to go back to my hometown. There are many relatives and friends, and the younger generation have returned from their part-time jobs!"

"Dad, in the past few years, when you went back to your old house to celebrate the New Year, you always put your hands in your pockets and walked from the east to the west of the village, from the south to the north of the village. When the weather was nice, you even ran to the neighboring village... .” Zuo Dahai directly revealed Zuo’s father’s true thoughts.

Before Zuo Dahai finished speaking, Zuo's father's face turned red.

"Why, I have a son who is a big star, so I can't show it off?" Zuo's father argued, "I used to expect you to bring glory to my old face! Look at you now, you are as big as me with your fat head and big ears. The appearance of a child."

"Dad, you said before that I was just fine. My younger siblings are still here. You don't give me any face. I won't come back next year!" Zuo Dahai said angrily.

"You are the one who started it! You want face, why don't you, my father, want it?" Zuo's father also got angry.

"Come on, let's hurt each other!" Zuo Dahai turned to Zuo's mother and said, "Don't worry about your old man. Recently, he goes to the park every day to dance around the little old lady's waist."

"If my father were a few years younger, he wouldn't be able to give me another younger brother or sister!"

Zuo Dahai directly enlarged his moves, which not only shocked Zuo's mother, but also Zuo Mingzhou and Zhao Xiaodao.

"Don't listen to the nonsense, this is a normal social activity for the elderly!" Zuo's father hurriedly argued.

"If I don't listen to your nonsense, your activity area will be in the backyard of the villa from now on, and you will never go out again!" Zuo's mother directly issued an ultimatum.

Zhao Xiaodao looked at this family with eyes full of envy!

Born in a rural area, my family was poor, and I worried about making a living every day. After working in Hengdian for so long, there was still no improvement.

Fortunately, I starred in a hit movie this year, and my career has taken off. After being away from home for so many years, I can finally go home this year.

As if he had read through Zhao Xiaodao's thoughts, Zuo Mingzhou reached out and gently held Zhao Xiaodao's hand, and whispered in his ear, "After the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, we will go to your house."

"Yeah." Zhao Xiaodao took a bite of the dish with his chopsticks. Although the taste was ordinary, it was very delicious and made him feel particularly sweet.

After dinner, everyone chatted in the living room for a while and then went to bed early.

Tomorrow is New Year's Eve, so it will be very busy.

"It's so beautiful!" Standing on the balcony, looking out, the park scenery of Jinshui Lake comes into view. Coupled with the plain snow powder outfit, it looks even more beautiful under the light.

"Get some rest! Today is more tiring than filming!" Zuo Mingzhou stepped forward and hugged Zhao Xiaodao into his arms.

"I hope the warmth of this moment will be frozen forever!"

"Me too!"
