Hold on, the system and I have never been angry
Chapter 68 Movie Release
Ah Shen and the private detective worked in perfect harmony, and new information came in from time to time.
The rise of the Huo family was a hot topic in the town back then, and almost everyone knew about it. Now, only a dozen years have passed, and there are still many people who remember what happened back then.
After asking door to door, they compiled all the information and sent it to the group.
When several people were having a video conference, they all had no expression on their faces.
Qiansui seemed to be able to sense the thick silence between them.
Ji Lianzhu held the iPad in his hand, scrolling up and down, and became more and more confused. "Is the Huo family blessed by a great god? Is it a guardian deity invited back from another place?"
"The Huo family sacrificed their youngest son in exchange for a lifetime of wealth and glory?"
"The Huo family's youngest son is the reincarnation of the God of Wealth. After his tribulations, he returned to heaven, leaving behind a huge fortune that is enough to ensure that his family will never have to worry about food and drink?"
He threw his iPad onto the table, his expression indescribable: "What the hell is going on? Are there only a few superstitious old people left in Yi'an? Will anyone really believe this nonsense?"
Ji Lianhuai seemed to have a headache, and he kept pressing his temple with his hand. "At least it proves that the Huo family did have a little son, and Huo Bufan has a younger brother."
Lu Jinzhao transferred the pen from his left hand to his right hand without saying a word.
Qiansui stared at the extra ring on Ji Lianhuai's right middle finger, and the more he looked at it, the more familiar it looked. It clearly remembered that Ji Lianhuai didn't wear any jewelry before, at most he wore a watch on his left wrist. Its host also liked to wear a ring on the middle finger of his right hand, firstly because it looked good, and secondly because it attracted wealth. Curiosity drove it to search a little, and it found that wearing a ring on the middle finger of the right hand had two meanings, one was to attract wealth, and the other was to announce that one had a master.
After thinking about it, it didn't think Ji Lianhuai was doing this to make money, as he was already so rich.
But it doesn’t look like she’s already taken. I haven’t heard that she’s in a relationship... Has this guy quietly found his partner?
I really want to eat melons with Brother Chao, but unfortunately now is not the time.
But you know what, his hands with rings on them look really good, comparable to Brother Chao's hands.
It grabbed Lu Jinzhao's neck and said, "Aren't you going to tell them about the DNA test you did?"
"No need, Ji Lianhuai can guess it. As for how to make up a lie so that Ji Lianzhu will not have unnecessary suspicion, that is Ji Lianhuai's job. Let's keep our mouths shut, it's better to have less trouble than more."
Ji Lianzhu, who was far away in a foreign country, sneezed for no apparent reason: "Has the temperature dropped?"
"Yes. Huo Bufan's younger brother is named Huo Yicai. He died in a car accident seventeen years ago at the age of twenty-seven. He and his wife Qing Xuesu have a son named Huo Benqing."
Ji Lianzhu frowned, "How strange. Since the Huo family had a little son, why did Mr. Huo claim to have only one son? And no one can tell where this Huo Benqing went, or whether he is dead or alive...?"
Ji Lianhuai raised his head slightly and glanced at Lu Jinzhao, who seemed to be indifferent to the matter on the screen: "The Huo family has withdrawn all the accusations. How do you think the press conference should be arranged?"
"Open as usual. Let Huo Bufan personally apologize to me in front of everyone. Some people won't learn a lesson unless they lose face."
Ji Lianzhu asked curiously, "Did you really break into his bedroom with a gun?"
"Yes."
"Although I know you're good at fighting, I never thought you'd be this good. So where did you get your gun?"
Lu Jinzhao paused while spinning the pen and pointed at the screen: “Your brother gave it to me.”
Ji Lianhuai was obviously stunned: "?"
Ji Lianzhu said with a "tsk". "You are biased. I told you before that I wanted one, but you refused to give it to me. Can you treat me equally?"
Ji Lianhuai: "You are abroad, why don't you just buy one yourself? Didn't I give you any money?"
"Can getting a gun in a place where guns are banned have the same meaning as getting one in a place where guns are banned?"
Seeing that the two brothers were about to engage in a meaningless argument, Lu Jinchao simply hung up the video call and sent a message to A Shen, asking him to find out more information, no matter how big or small.
Glancing at his not-too-crowded class schedule, he considered completing his credits and graduating early.
There is not enough time to prepare for postgraduate and doctoral examinations, but it would be nice if I could concentrate on developing a career in the entertainment industry? Acting is still quite fun.
Or you can retire early and travel around the world to encounter all kinds of beautiful scenery and customs.
The money and favorability he has now are enough for him to spend lavishly for ten lifetimes without any problem.
Qiansui popped up a light screen: "Brother Chao, Huo Bufan held a press conference to apologize to you."
Lu Jinzhao read a few sentences and showed disdain: "Not sincere at all, just turn it off."
"Alright! Originally, we didn't want his apology. We wanted him to be embarrassed in public. Haha. How can such a person sincerely apologize?"
After warning the Huo family, Lu Jinzhao lived a peaceful life.
He is busier than last semester. He is working around the clock with the company, the program team, and the school. He hardly ever goes back to the dormitory when he doesn't have classes.
My roommates were busy with schoolwork and part-time jobs, and my senior classmates went to various places for internships, and everyone's life was gradually getting back on track.
Seeing his explosive popularity, Zhang Yong almost didn't dare to let him appear at the wedding venue. In the end, it was Fu Jingnian who sponsored an island under his name and let them change the wedding to the island, which was the solution.
Not only will the wedding be more upscale, but you will also save on venue rental fees.
Fu Jingnian was wearing a best man suit, holding champagne in his hand. Zhang Yong, who had won the beauty in the stands, was a little envious. He put his arm on Lu Jinzhao's shoulder and pointed with his goblet: "There are three major happy events in life. When will it be my turn for the second one?"
Lu Jinzhao glanced at him and said, "If you post a Weibo to find a marriage partner now, I can still have another wedding banquet tomorrow."
Fu Jingnian frowned: "Forget it, I want to find someone who loves me."
"I wish you early success."
The bride and groom had few relatives who were not presentable, so the atmosphere was very good. However, when the ceremony was almost over, the bride's cousin tried to make trouble for the bridesmaid under the pretext of being drunk, but Lu Jinzhao kicked him into the sea to calm down.
Qiansui made a face at the drowned chicken in the water: "I hate vulgar wedding pranks. Men with no manners are not even as good as my brother Chao!"
The bridesmaid was not frightened at all. That family was in the wrong first and they also knew that Lu Jinchao was either rich or noble, so they did not dare to act rashly and the matter was left unresolved.
Wangshu was successfully listed and is working on developing overseas markets, with Ashen as the person in charge.
At the same time, Lu Jinzhao's first film, "Moonlight on Tianshan Mountains", is about to be completed and is ready to enter the promotion and distribution stage.
Seeing that the shooting period was greatly shortened and a lot of money was saved, Hu Pai invited Hollywood's top special effects team to do post-production. The other party was very efficient and produced a perfect film in just a few months.
The leading actors made an appointment to go to the cinema together to watch the preview, and were all amazed by the finished product.
Yan Shangzhang came out of the movie, greeted the other leading actors, and said to Lu Jinchao, "You performed very well. If you can win the Best Supporting Actor this year, the company will pay for you to go skiing abroad."
Lu Jinzhao looked at him and smiled: "Actually, Boss, you want to go skiing, right?"
"Ahem." Yan Shangzhang turned around and waved his hand: "It's a company team building. If you don't get a prize, you can't go."
"Is it just me or does everyone else have this threshold restriction, Boss?"
"you guess."
Back in the courtyard, Lu Jinzhao took out the almost dusty digital screen and started drawing fan art for his first movie.
He selected some scenes that he found most impressive, and drew them into meme illustrations and short comic strips. He worked non-stop in the system space for four days without sleep and almost had a relapse of his tenosynovitis and cervical spondylosis, but in reality only one night had passed.
Collect all 18 pictures and post them all on Weibo at once.
The work done in slacking off will definitely not be as accurate as the commercial draft, but it is also very delicate and beautiful.
"What? Others' promotions are all stills, makeup photos, and behind-the-scenes photos, but my main promotion is to create 18 fan art by myself???"
"You actually drew every character. You really make me cry."
"Oh my god, this is so beautiful!!!"
"Man, you have successfully aroused my interest. I decided to spend my precious rest day and RMB to buy a ticket to the cinema to see you. Don't let me down."
"Although I already knew you could draw, your level is too good, isn't it?! What on earth can't you do!!!"
"Upstairs, he may be able to do everything except fall in love with you."
"Shit, this hurts. Shut up!!"
On the day the movie was officially released, many cinema chains gave the green light to the film, and the screening rate successfully soared to a terrifying number of 60%. All other movies released at the same time had to avoid its spotlight.
At first, everyone might have watched it for the looks and popularity of the lead actors, and didn't have much expectation for the plot. After all, it's all about capital these days, and if you don't watch this, there's nothing else to watch.
However, when the first batch of viewers finished watching the film, almost all of them left the theater with red eyes. This aroused the curiosity of some passers-by who interviewed self-media, and they chased after those viewers and asked, "Excuse me, did you just finish watching "Moonlight on Tianshan Mountain"? Why are you crying like this?"
The audience member sobbed and said, "It's too cruel. I've never seen such a cruel movie in my life! I almost fainted from crying halfway through. I searched and found out that the original novel was written by a famous cruel author!"
"So how's the plot? Is it good?"
The audience member nodded vigorously and sniffed: "It's really good! I haven't seen such a good movie in years. I'm going to bring my girlfriends to watch it again tomorrow! Oh, I have to reserve tickets for tomorrow, otherwise I can only buy seats in the corners. Oh, remember to blur my face, it's so ugly after I just cried!"
"Okay beautiful lady, thank you for accepting our interview."
She saw a beautiful woman sitting next to her who was putting on makeup. "Hello, little sister. Excuse me, have you just finished watching "Moonlight on Tianshan Mountain" as well?"
"I really strongly recommend you to read it, it's so cool, I've never cried so hard even when I was heartbroken. As for why I recommend it, it's because I think everyone who hasn't read the original work by the author of "The Blade Master" deserves retribution."
"Haha, beautiful lady, you are so humorous. Do you mind if we send out that part?"
"Just post it. I dare to walk the runway without makeup. It doesn't matter if I look ugly when I cry. I don't care. When the time comes, we will all cry together. Who will have time to look at whether others are ugly or not?"
"Okay, thank you beautiful." The anchor turned the camera towards himself, "I was curious about how cruel it was, so I bought a ticket, but unfortunately I can only buy a seat in the front corner, and I can't enter the venue until five hours later. Let's interview other audience members first."
Video transition: Seven hours later.
The anchor wiped her tears with a tissue and walked out, her voice hoarse: "My dears, I'm telling you, you must go and watch this movie! I'm really not trying to take revenge on society, you'll understand after watching it, it's really super awesome!!! I'm planning to book a theater tomorrow and invite all my studio friends to watch it again!"
There are a lot of unbelievers in the comments section:
"I'm a bit cruel and I don't believe in evil. I'm going to give it a try!"
"I haven't been to the cinema for a long time. I'm going to take my boyfriend to see it tomorrow. I'm quite interested in Yan Shangzhang's movies."
"I just went to see the cast, all handsome men and beautiful women, I want to go see it just for the looks."
"Okay, okay, after all these years, I finally got to star in the same movie with my partner. I'm so excited!"
Three days after the official release of "Moonlight in Tianshan Mountains", the box office soared and it received rave reviews, and the popularity of the leading actors also soared.
The box office exceeded 10 billion, and the leading actors posted nine-square grids one by one as congratulatory pictures.
When the box office broke 20 billion, Hu Pai urgently found someone to add a post-production cover. Sometimes the official Weibo just released a congratulatory picture for breaking million in the morning, and then broke a new milestone in the afternoon.
The final box office revenue was set at 34.15 billion.
You have to know that this movie is neither a New Year's blockbuster nor a red-themed National Day release. Given that most of the roles were played by newcomers, it is already an extremely good result to have such a box office.
Hu Pai's face was almost broken by smiling recently, and he was always nice to everyone he met.
The one who made the most money was Shang Shaoting. As the main investor, his family made a fortune. He specially organized a place and invited all the other producers and crew members to have a good time all night.
Yan Shangzhang, Yuan Yihan, Qi Bingxia, and Zhai Yi each found excuses for not coming.
Lu Jinzhao didn't want to come at first, but Fu Jingnian coaxed him into coming, saying that he would hold a celebration party for him, and after a series of desperate calls, he finally got him to come.
Fu Jingnian smiled and leaned on the sofa to the right of Lu Jinzhao, raising his glass: "Come, let me toast you. Your first movie made such a high box office. No other actor of the same period can compete with you."
Lu Jinzhao crossed his legs for a rare moment, put a notebook on his legs, and sat there revising his speech: "I won't drink anymore. I have to go to the debate competition with the School of Management tomorrow."
Fu Jingnian was stunned for a moment, "Are you serious about the competition? I thought you were just trying to fool me. Damn, should I take you back now?"
"It's okay. We're already here. It's just a little quarrel. It won't affect anything."
"You are really fucking awesome. You can still write a long article after such a quarrel." Fu Jingnian gave a thumbs up: "By the way, do you know why Yan Shangzhang never comes to the party when he hears that it is Shang Shaoting who organized it?"
He changed the subject so erratically that Lu Jinzhao thought he was drunk. His fingers kept tapping on the laptop keyboard and he followed up with the question, "Why?"
"Because he teased her, hahahahaha!"
Qiansui became more energetic and lifted his upper body from Lu Jinzhao's shoulders: "Are there any melons? Tell me in detail!"
Lu Jinzhao paused typing, obviously interested: "Tell me about it?"
Fu Jingnian exclaimed in amazement: "It seems that listening to gossip is a common human nature, and even you are not immune to it."
"Don't be pretentious."
"It's nothing, actually. When Shang Shaoting was a freshman, he fell in love at first sight with Yan Shangzhang, who was a senior and returned to school. He then pursued him fiercely. Yan Shangzhang felt very troubled, so his family hired someone to beat him up, and then he quit."
"Mr. Shang also went to film school?"
"Yes, isn't his family specialized in the entertainment industry and self-media? He also dreamed of becoming an actor when he was a child, but he didn't have much talent for acting, so he gave up in the end."
"So if he got beaten, his family wouldn't mind?"
"Of course I care, but you know the Yan family, right? The merchants at that time were not worth offending, so they had to swallow this loss in silence."
