I really can't stand him crying [entertainment circle]
Chapter 26 Released
Why did you choose them?
"Actually, there are two reasons." Director Xu compared two, "One is because of money. Experienced actors are too expensive, and our crew can't afford them."
The very real reason? Director Xu's speeches today are always making people laugh.
"You've already seen the other reason." Director Xu looked sideways at Zhou Jiajia and the others, "They all performed very well in the movie, didn't they?"
All said yes in unison.
"However,? You said something that wasn't quite right." Director Xu changed his voice, "A newcomer doesn't mean that he has no filming experience."
Zhou Jiajia and the others knew that Director Xu was going to talk about Zong Ji.
"Our younger brother has already acted in many crews before filming "Blooming",? Otherwise, I would not have had the opportunity to know him."
Zong Ji wasn't there, so Director Xu's words aroused the curiosity of many people.
"By the way, where is my brother? Why didn't I see my brother today?"
"My brother is home for the New Year." Before Director Xu could answer, someone answered his question.
Everyone remembered the topic of grabbing train tickets on the hot topic two days ago.
"Director Xu, the competition for the box office during the Spring Festival is so fierce, why did you choose to release it during the Spring Festival?"
According to statistics, a total of [-] films are expected to be released during the Spring Festival, and four films will be withdrawn from the Spring Festival schedule in the later stage, and finally eight films will compete for the Spring Festival box office.
In terms of comprehensive competitiveness, "Blooming Bloom" ranks last. As a literary film with a small audience, its expected box office is far lower than the previous seven big-budget films with first-line actors.
Despite the fact that Mr. Zhou, who is rich and wealthy and loves his daughter, is an investor, the first day of "Blooming" still has less than 5.00% of the film schedule.
This is an extremely low number.
There is no way, the fate of literary films is like this.
Theaters are not charitable organizations. Although they have the right to decide on film scheduling, how to schedule films still depends on the market.Which movies are popular, and which movie tickets are likely to sell well.To put it simply, what movies do audiences want to watch? They just arrange what movies.
There used to be a director of a literary film who knelt down for the screening rate, and angrily "raised the middle finger" because the screening rate did not meet expectations.
Director Xu is someone who has experienced it, and knows that the 4.9% screening rate is the result of the producer's best efforts.
For him, it is not low.Anyway, for literary films, the box office is not important, the main goal is to win awards.
"There are many reasons for the Spring Festival. I want to choose the National Day, but the time is not allowed. The New Year's Day is also a little earlier. The Spring Festival is the most suitable. I also want to let everyone see how the movie I made this time is. Is it worth it for everyone to trust me again?"
"Although the competition for the Spring Festival is fierce, the same audience base is also bigger. I feel that "Blooming" is still suitable for the whole family to watch during the New Year, right?"
The road show went very smoothly, and before it was over, the first film review of "Blooming" appeared on the Internet.
Teacher Niu V: I just finished watching "Blooming", first of all, let me tell you that it is beautiful and worth watching.
The practice of Mr. Niu, a film and television expert, is to tell everyone whether the movie is good or not in the first sentence of the opening sentence, and then give a detailed evaluation later.Many senior fans clicked on the ticketing software after reading his first sentence.
"There are a lot of movies during the Spring Festival, don't worry, I've already bought tickets, and I'll share them with you at that time. Then why I put "Blooming" first, the reason is very simple, I want to see Director Xu's Did you get up this time? The answer is to quote a sentence that Director Xu said in the road show——Xu Zeen has stood up!"
"Next, let's talk about the plot. "Blooming" mainly has two lines, love and family. I'll be honest. Director Xu's technique of filming love and love needs to be improved. Father Ji played by the teacher, I give [-] points, one more point comes from the tears of the audience. I will not talk about the more detailed ones, so as not to spoil the spoilers. If you are interested, watch it by yourself. If you have low tears, remember to advance Bring tissues."
"Zhou Jiajia's performance in the movie is also quite good. She is worthy of being a professional actor with a professional background. She has a solid foundation and the details of her eyes are also in place. It can be seen that she has taken classes very seriously in school and is also talented. She acted Given Ji An's bravery and kindness, the family drama is especially touching, and the name "Blooming" is very appropriate."
"Another thing worth mentioning is Ji Le in the movie. The actor's name is Zong Ji. Before "Blooming", I didn't know this person, and he didn't come from a major. Ji Le didn't have many roles. , I didn’t have much hope at first. But in the movie, this character gave me the biggest surprise. I think that boy under the sunset can be remembered in my heart forever.”
Master Niu wrote a large piece eloquently, and other viewers also gave their own evaluations one after another. The overall difference is not bad, the love line is average, the family line is very touching, the ending is HE, suitable for families to watch, and it is no problem to bring children , that Ji Le is quite educational for children.
The most common problem with many literary films is that the audience doesn't know what to say after the film is over.Perhaps this is also the characteristic of literary films. If you can't understand it at the first pass, you have to ponder over and over again to understand what the director wants to express.
However, most audiences want to watch movies in a relaxed and happy way, and only a very small number of people will constantly go to the second and third times, just to get sympathy with the director.
The narrative technique of "Blooming" is not complicated. Although it is a literary film, it belongs to the part that can be understood by people.
"We succeeded!" Cheers erupted in the lounge where no outsiders were present, and Director Xu was almost moved to tears.
"Director Xu, don't rush to be moved, hurry up and tell everyone the good news in the group, they are still waiting."
Zhou Jiajia couldn't wait any longer. As soon as Director Xu started, she sent a big red envelope to the group.
Director Xu: The road show went very smoothly, and the audience responded very well.
Zhou Jiajia: @宗继, brother, hurry up and get the red envelope.
The group was filled with jubilation, and all kinds of celebratory emojis emerged one after another.
Zong Ji searched for reviews of "Blooming" on the Internet while waiting for news from the group.Before Zhou Jiajia hit him, he had already typed several words in the dialog box.
Zong Ji: Great!Congratulations to Director Xu!Congratulations everyone!
Director Xu: Congratulations to you too.
"How's it going?" Liu Wang accompanied Zong Ji to wait for the news, and when he saw the child's smile, he felt faintly excited.
"Director Xu said it was very good!" Zong Ji replied to Liu Wang with a smile, "There are movie reviews online!"
Liu Wang immediately picked up the phone and scanned all the lines at a glance: "Brother, they are praising you a lot!"
Aunt Sun passed by them and asked what they were boasting about, and Liu Wang picked out Kua Zongji's comment and read it to him.
"Xiao Ji's movie is released?" Aunt Sun put down the things in her hands, "Why didn't you tell me? Where can I watch it?"
Aunt Sun asked a lot of questions in a hurry. Zong Ji and the others didn't hide it on purpose, but they were not sure if the filming was good or not. They were worried about disappointing Aunt Sun, so they planned to wait for the results before telling her.
Qingxi Town is not big, and there is no cinema, but there is one in Shonan next door.
Liu Wang took his mobile phone and searched the film schedule of the Shonan Cinema. There was only one show of "Blooming", at three o'clock in the afternoon, and less than half of them had been sold.
He bought three movie tickets and selected seats on the APP: "Come on, let's go to Shonan to watch a movie."
Aunt Sun was still wearing clothes for working at home, so she hurriedly told them to wait and change into new clothes by herself.
"Where is this going?"
Aunt Sun was reluctant to drive three rounds in her new clothes, but she had good legs and feet, and the brothers were younger, so it wouldn't be long before they reached the town.When meeting people in the village, without Zong Ji and the others talking, Aunt Sun said loudly to them: "You can watch the movie made by Xiao Ji, let's go to Shonan to watch a movie!"
"Really? What's the name of the movie? I'll just say that Xiaoji looks promising!"
The visitor praised a few words, Aunt Sun was afraid of delaying the time to watch the movie, so she didn't talk much, she waved her hand and said that we can talk about it when they come back from watching the movie.
The movie theater in southern Shonan is not as luxurious as the UM movie theater in Tianhe Plaza, the area is not large, and the variety of films is not so complete, but Zong Ji and the others came here for "Blooming", so it doesn't matter if the variety is not complete.
This was Auntie Sun's first time watching a movie. Liu Wang bought a large portion of popcorn and drinks, either because the taste was so good, or to create an atmosphere.
Aunt Sun was a little distressed when she saw the price on the billboard. Little things were gone, but thinking she couldn't embarrass Xiaoji, she held back.
The seats in the movie theater were very comfortable. Aunt Sun touched them curiously, and then looked at the huge screen in front of her.People came into the movie theater one after another, they were all watching Xiao Jiyan's movie, Aunt Sun's face was full of pride.
"Why are there still such empty seats?" The movie started soon, and Aunt Sun asked, pointing to most of the empty seats.
In her perception, no matter what, a movie should be full.
"It's normal to be dissatisfied, unless it's a very famous and powerful movie." Zong Ji explained to her in a low voice, he was surprised that Shonan had a film for "Blooming".
In addition, this is a county seat, and many people either visit relatives or entertain guests at home on New Year's Day, and there are not many people who come out to watch movies.
While comforting Aunt Sun, he also comforted himself.
Soon the movie started, and Zong Ji was watching his own movie for the first time. He read the script and knew all the plots, so his movie-watching experience was different from others.
When Aunt Sun was moved to tears because of the plot in the movie, what floated in his heart was a sense of satisfaction.
Ji Leben, who was carrying firewood, fled into the courtyard. Ji's father asked him what happened. Ji Le hid behind the door, and the girl in a dress knocked on the courtyard door.
The father and daughter met again after many years. Ji Le hid behind the door and only showed a pair of eyes.
Their impressions of each other were more than ten years ago, but this did not prevent them from recognizing each other's identity the moment they met.
Father Ji's hands covered in plaster moved uneasily, he opened his mouth, but didn't say anything, feeling ashamed and afraid to admit it.
In the end, it was Ji An who broke the silence first, and she softly called Dad, and the eyes of the weather-beaten middle-aged man instantly turned red.
Father Ji wiped and wiped the stool at home before letting his daughter who came from the city sit down.
"Dad, when I come back, I want to take my brother to study in the city."
Everything about the girl seemed out of place with her surroundings, it seemed like she shouldn't be in this kind of place.
Hearing what his daughter said, the man accidentally knocked over the cup of water.
"It's good for Lele to study in his hometown." The man only said this sentence, and then no matter what his daughter said, he stopped responding, and even avoided her daughter's sight.
Ji An earnestly persuaded her that now that she is working, she can earn money and can afford her brother's tuition.The quality of teaching in the city is better than that in my hometown, which can give my younger brother a better future.
The girl is still young, and what she thinks is good is like a sharp knife piercing the old father's heart.
At the beginning, because of his incompetence, his wife wanted to divorce him, and took her daughter to marry a man with better conditions.
Now it is still because of his incompetence, so his daughter wants to take his only remaining son away from him!
His waist seems to be bent even more, the old father's eyes are cloudy, and the suffering of life has left too many traces on him.
"Sister." Ji Le came out from behind the door and stood beside his father, "I don't want to go to the city to study."
Does he really not want to?The expectation in the boy's eyes cannot be concealed from others, he wants to go.Father Ji's hand hanging by his side kept shaking, the boy got closer to him, he knew who needed him more.
The girl stayed in her hometown for a week, and the mosquitoes bit her delicate skin into red bumps, which were itchy and unbearable.Ji Le took out the money he had saved from the iron box under the bed, and went to the town on foot to buy an ointment for her. The setting sun stretched his back extraordinarily long.
"Sister, go back." Ji Le used his fingertips to spread the white ointment on the pimple on the back of the girl's neck.
Frustrated, the girl couldn't understand why neither her father nor her brother accepted her proposal.
She came back on leave, even if Ji Le didn't tell her, she had to go back.
"Mom divorced him." Before leaving, Ji An left such a sentence and his phone number.
After Ji An left, Ji's father was smoking an inferior hookah in the yard: "Are you blaming me?"
Ji Le shook her head: "I won't drag my sister down."
"Blame my incompetence!" Father Ji smoked fiercely, the sky above the old house was so dark that it was hard to breathe.
The man was hunched over, his face blurred by the smoke from the hookah.
Aunt Sun thought of Liu Wang's father. When Liu Wang said he would go to northern Hebei, his man had the same attitude and refused to let him go.
Later, Aunt Sun scolded him severely: "You yourself have lived a poor life all your life, do you want your son to live a poor life like you!"
So Liu Wang went to northern Hebei, and his father went to the hospital to get cheaper medicine, and asked her to send the saved money to Liu Wang.
Those few years were really hard, but luckily I made it through.
In the movie, Father Ji gave all the money to Ji Le, and took his ID card to the construction site to do small labor for others.
Ji Le finally told Ji An that his father had come.
Then he called his father: "Dad, sister wants to see you."
Ji An's surgery was successful, and after he was discharged from the hospital, his dull old father sold the family's pigs to make up for Ji Le's tuition for one year.
The kite flyer finally let go of the kite string in his hand.
Aunt Sun was the one who cried the most in the audience. The popcorn she was holding was wet with her tears. Liu Wang's nose was also very sore. His eyes were red, and he obviously shed tears when the lights were dim.
Zong Ji became the one who didn't lose his composure the most.
When he was on the set, he should have cried enough.
Father Ji's performance in the film touched countless people, who deeply remembered this cowardly and great father.
"Brother, you acted really well!" Liu Wang was extremely grateful that he did not reject Zong Ji's defection and brought him into Jibei Film and Television City.
"Xiao Ji did a great job." Aunt Sun's voice was still hoarse, and she shed a lot of tears for Ji Le.
After returning to the village, Aunt Sun moved a stool under the big banyan tree at the entrance of the village. She wanted to tell the villagers how great Zongji's new movie was.
The folks who were aroused by her asked her for details, and at this moment she raised her head: "Oh, I don't know, you'd better go to the cinema, there are in southern Shonan, and a ticket costs dozens of yuan. It's expensive. A little bit, but for Chinese New Year, don’t you spend some money to make yourself happy.”
Not to mention that Aunt Sun's method is quite effective, some people in the village really went to see Zong Ji's new movie.It doesn't matter if they don't know how to buy tickets, the young people in the family are back, let them buy them.
On the morning of the second day of the Lunar New Year, the data of the first day of "Blooming" was sent to Director Xu and others.
On the first day, the screening rate was 5.0%, and the attendance rate was 60.00%.
But director Xu is very satisfied with this. The box office of more than 300 million yuan is about to pay back!Although the film scheduling rate has only increased by 0.1% compared with the initial data, this is also a reflection of the market trend.
With the reputation of "Blooming", the box office in the next few days is likely to exceed the first day!
Dao Xu happily fulfilled his promise and gave Zong Ji a big red envelope.More than half of Mr. Zhou's investment has been recovered. He is not in a hurry, not at all.
On the afternoon of the second day of the Lunar New Year, the crew found someone to take Zong Ji to the hotel. Director Xu and the others were still in another city and would fly over later.
The tight road show schedule made Zhou Jiajia and the others look tired. Director Xu still couldn't sleep well at night. It was because of anxiety before, but now because of excitement.
The box office of "Blooming" on the second day of the Lunar New Year was a full 500 million more than that of the first day of the Lunar New Year, and the screening rate also increased from 5.0% to 6%.
There is a smile visible to the naked eye in everyone's eyes.
Zong Ji brought gifts to each of them, Director Xu's red envelope and road show salary gave him enough funds to express his heart.
The road show in Xiang City was arranged in the International Cinema on Binjiang Paradise Street. After lunch and makeup at the hotel, Zong Ji followed the crew and entered the cinema under the leadership of the staff.
"How's the ticket sales situation for the road show?" Director Xu asked about the ticket sales situation, and the other party told him that the road show was sold out, and [-]% of the tickets for the extra screening in the evening had been sold out.
As soon as Zhou Jiajia sat down, he picked up a pen to sign the posters and postcards. Zong Ji didn't know what to do. Teacher Yang took a pen and stuffed it into his hand: "Come and help us sign together."
"Can you?" Zong Ji's hand holding the pen froze.
"What's wrong?" Zhou Jiajia sat aside to make room for Zong Ji, "Come and sign this."
Zong Ji sat down on the sofa, bent over and carefully wrote his name on the poster. He had never designed a signature, and wrote his name stroke by stroke as if writing an exam paper.
Zong Ji.
He wrote slowly at first, but as more and more posters piled up in his hands, his movements became faster, but his handwriting remained neat.
"Brother's autograph is very good. Come and write one for me. I will take it back and show it to my son, so that he can learn from it too. Don't get deducted points all the time."
Teacher Yang took out a postcard. The poster was too big to carry.
I wish Yang Yiyi every success in his studies and be named on the gold list——Zong Ji.
Yang Yiyi is the name of Teacher Yang’s son, because Teacher Yang’s full name is Yang Yi, and he has suffered enough to write the name since he was a child, so he decided on the name of the child as soon as his wife became pregnant. all.
"Writing your name during the exam can be one step faster than others. It's not good to save more time to do the questions. The exam time is so tight."
Teacher Yang was eloquent, and accepted the postcard written by Zong Ji: "I will paste the words "brother" on my son's desk when I go back."
The movie is over and it's time for them to go on stage.
"The next guest is participating in our "Blooming" roadshow for the first time. I believe everyone should know who it is? Let us welcome, brother, Zong Ji!"
The warm applause made Zong Ji's face slightly red, and he smiled a little shyly. If he hadn't held the microphone with both hands, he might have been nervous.
"Hello everyone, I'm Zong Ji. I play the younger brother Ji Le in "Blooming". I'm very happy to meet you here." He said, switching to his authentic Xiangshi dialect, "I wish everyone a happy new year and Gong Xi Fa Cai. "
He bowed towards the audience, and the audience saw the nervousness of the child, and all smiled kindly.
"My brother is so cute!" "So my brother is so obedient in reality!" "My brother is so white!"
Zong Ji's appearance in the movie is mostly a gray and simple boy with wheat-colored skin and a thin figure. It is really not good-looking, but simple and innocent.
But now, the little boy with a fair and delicate face was wearing a sky blue sweater, as soft as a cloud, with soft short hair covering half of his eyebrows, revealing bright star-like eyes, as cute as a brother next door.
The audience who had just watched the movie compared Ji Le in their minds with the child on the stage, and felt that they were two people, but when they met the child's eyes, they realized again, yes, this is Ji Le.
Ji Le is clean, simple and kind.
"Brother, director Xu said that you had a lot of experience in filming before acting in "Blooming" during the Jibei road show. Can you tell me more about it?"
Everyone wanted to know the answer, but Xu Dao had been keeping things secret until now and insisted on waiting for Zong Jilai to tell everyone.
"Actually, there are not many. It's just some tricks. I accidentally heard the news of Director Xu's audition, so I went to try it. I thank Director Xu for his trust in me and his willingness to give me this opportunity."
Xu Dao and Zong Ji passed the breath, so he spoke the answer smoothly.
"That's not a coincidence." Director Xu took Zong Ji's words with a smile, "The audition meeting for me to choose Ji Le was semi-public. The child made everyone in the audience cry and asked me if I wanted to see you."
"I thought to myself that such a powerful person would be willing to come to me to play a small supporting role? But he said that the child is a trickster, so I said you call someone here."
"By the way, my brother participated in the audition and wrote his resume by hand. Do you want to see it? If you want to see it, I will take a photo and post it on Weibo?"
Handwritten resume?Of course I want to see it!
In addition to the resume, they were also very curious about what Director Xu said about Zong Ji making everyone in the audience cry.
I searched for "Jianghu Journey" on the Internet, but it hasn't started broadcasting yet, so they remember it first.
If it weren't for the recommendation of the director of "Journey to the Rivers and Lakes", Director Xu would not have had the chance to meet Zong Ji, and "Blooming" might not have achieved the current results, so if he does publicity for the other party, he should pay it back This love.
As the largest and most well-equipped movie theater in Xiang City, the movie theater not only held the road show of the crew of "Blooming", but also the crew of "Looking for Immortals" was also in full swing in the theater not far from it.
Unlike "Blooming", which only held one roadshow in one city a day, "Xunxianji" has arranged a dense roadshow plan in more than 40 cities across the country. The protagonists were too busy, so they were divided into three teams. Director + Supporting roles, male first + female first + supporting role, and male second + female second + supporting role.
Leaving aside the effect of the road show, the appearance of eating is ugly enough.
Jiang Shenxing is a supporting role in one of the sub-teams. He has deep thoughts and knows that if he walks with the director and the two protagonists, there will be very few topics on him, so he actively chooses to be with the second male and female second.
"Xunxianji" has an investment of nearly one billion, and has invited many traffic stars to join. It claims to create the most fantasy fairy tale drama in China. From the start of the hype to the release, the gimmicks are huge, which has whetted the appetite of the audience.
After the first day of the Lunar New Year, it directly topped the list with a box office of 4.1 million. "Blooming" is not as good as his fraction.
Regardless of the film scheduling rate and ratings, 4.1 million seems to be a very remarkable number.
But what if you add in his 40.00% film scheduling rate and his rating that fell below 8.5 on the first day of the broadcast?
On the second day after its release, the film schedule of "Xunxianji" dropped to 30.00%. On that day, the box office was 2.3 million, the attendance rate was only 56%, and the score dropped to 8.2, and there is still a downward trend.
The audience's eyes are not blind, and they are not without brains.
They can see the five-cent special effects and the whole film's rotten stalks, okay?
Do publicity with your heart, make a movie with your feet, invest nearly one billion, and hire actors for [-] million - by Mr. Niu.
The smile on Jiang Shenxing's face cracked after the first film review on the Internet came out.
Mr. Niu, who has always been outspoken, attached an emoji when the film review was released: rnm, money back!
No matter how broken his heart was, Jiang Shenxing still had to face the audience participating in the road show with a smile on his face.
He thinks that there is no problem with his performance in the movie, but he can't stand the special effects and keeps holding back. The ten-level beauty filter even wiped out his micro-expressions to express emotions!
The media are best at playing with the wind. How much they praised "Xunxianji" before it was released, the problem is as sharp as it is now.
Jiang Shenxing and the others could hardly maintain the smiles on their faces, but there were still dozens of roadshows waiting for them.
At the same time, the score of "Blooming" reached 9.0.
On the way back to the lounge, the two parties met on a narrow road.Jiang Shenxing saw Zong Ji in the crowd at a glance, and the other party's smile seemed so dazzling to him.
It is also a Spring Festival movie, and everyone knows their respective performances. Director Xu restrained his smile a little, and nodded to Jiang Shenxing and others.
""Looking for Immortals" may lose money this time." Director Xu murmured to Zong Ji in a low voice.
As a director, he has a better understanding of the film market than Zong Ji and the others. According to the domestic accounting principle, the box office needs to be three times the cost of the film to make it back.That is to say, the investment of "Xun Xian Ji" is close to one billion, and the box office needs to reach 30 billion, so that the producers may not lose money.
According to the current box office situation, let alone 30 billion, it is not certain whether "Xun Xian Ji" will have a final box office of 20 billion.
Director Xu sighed, and quickly put a smile on his face. It doesn't matter to him whether "Xun Xian Ji" loses money or not, anyway, he made money.
The road show of "Blooming Bloom" lasted from the first day of the Lunar New Year to the seventh day of the Lunar New Year. Zong Ji only followed the Xiangshi one. After returning home, he did some errands in his hometown, then packed his things and returned to northern Hebei.
The Hebei Film and Television City is crowded with people, and the streets filled with red lanterns are full of festive atmosphere.
Zong Ji walked through the crowd with the candied haws bought by Liu Wang, full of curiosity about everything he saw.
Only at this time, Liu Wang can feel a little bit of what a child should be from him.
"Slow down." There was a sea of people everywhere, Liu Wang stretched out his hand to hold Zong Ji, and a child holding a windmill ran past quickly in front of him.
This temple fair divides the film and television city into two large areas. According to different architectural styles, it is divided into two themes of the palace and the folk.
Zong Ji is now in a water town in the south of the Yangtze River. The water in the pond is covered with thin ice, so it doesn’t look particularly cold due to the crowds. There are lantern riddles on the side of the road. The lanterns are very beautiful. Zong Ji took a photo, and then went to go forward.
The monkey show booth was full of people. Three little monkeys were somersaulting among the crowd, with iron collars around their necks, and the other end of the chain was held in the hands of the monkey performers.
Zong Ji suddenly thought of himself. It seemed that he hadn't turned somersaults for a long time, and he had to hurry up to practice when he got back.
Apart from crying and somersaulting, he has no other skills, and the only two things can't be lost.
The living room of the new home is not small, so it is no problem to move the table and let him do somersaults in it.
Zong Ji V: Temple Fair~【Picture】
"Where is my brother? It's so fun!"
"Is it the big temple fair in Hebei Film and Television City? I just came back yesterday!"
"My friends, I'm going to meet my younger brother by chance. Wait for my good news."
How could Zong Ji give them a chance to meet by chance? He just picked nine photos out of a bunch of photos on his phone and posted them on Weibo after he came out of the temple fair.
Choose nine more and send them to Moments.
There are also nine trumpets, which are clearly arranged.
"Chongyan, this is your Aunt Qian and her daughter Xiyun. You used to play with Xiyun a lot, do you remember?"
Qi Chongyan lifted his eyes from the phone, and glanced coolly at the mother and daughter sitting on the opposite sofa: "I don't remember."
The tone was as cold as ice, as if the mother and daughter opposite were just two strangers, not as interesting as Zong Ji's circle of friends.
This little monkey looks quite cute, with big eyes and red buttocks.
The smiles of the mother and daughter froze for an instant, but thinking of the purpose of coming today, the two regained their expressions. Aunt Qian patted the back of her daughter's hand: "You were still young at that time, and it's normal if you don't remember, but we Xiyun But I always remember you, Brother Chongyan. No, I came with me as soon as I returned to China."
Qi Chongyan looked at his mother this time, with a colder expression on his face: "I thought you should at least ask for my own opinion first."
"What is your own opinion? Your Auntie Qian brought Yunyun here as a guest. She came to see me. Don't think about it."
Qi Chongyan sneered: "Since I'm here to look for you, then I'll leave first."
After speaking, he got up and left without even looking at the mother and daughter.
"I'm really sorry, my son is just spoiled by me and has a bad temper." Ms. Tang's eyes were a little sad, and today's blind date seemed to be in vain again.
But this time, he didn't throw something and leave on the spot, and even said a few words, which is considered an improvement, right?
Ms. Tang felt at ease, she didn't know that the reason why his son didn't throw something and leave on the spot today was because of those photos in his circle of friends.
Qi Chongyan slammed the car door shut, his fucking routine really remained the same.
The sports car roared away. During the Spring Festival, the road conditions in Beijing were much better than before. There was almost no traffic jam, and Qi Chongyan arrived at his destination.
There are quite a few people at the destination.
"Seventh Brother, what are you doing?"
After receiving a call from Faxiao, Qi Chongyan slowly handed out the banana in his hand: "The zoo is feeding the monkeys."
Probably because he looks too easy to mess with, and it is the nature of animals to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. No one cares about the bananas he handed out. On the other hand, none of the things in other people's hands stay for more than three seconds.
For a while, Qi Chongyan received a lot of stares, as if he was a monkey king.
"What are you doing in the zoo to feed the monkeys in this cold weather?" The person on the other end of the phone looked at the phone suspiciously. He called the wrong person, "Will you come for a drink?"
Qi Chongyan threw the banana out, and the monkeys who had been watching for a long time finally swarmed up: "Wait."
After hanging up the phone, Qi Chongyan glanced at the monkey who was peeling bananas, heh, it's pretty dainty!
There was only one place where this group of people often drank. Qi Chongyan drove downstairs to the clubhouse, and Zheng Yuan who called him was already waiting there.
"Where do you come from?" Zheng Yuan looked greedily at Qi Chongyan's sports car, another one he wanted to buy but his father refused to buy, woo woo woo, he was so sour, "Seventh brother, do you have anything new?" Shooting plan, bring me one."
He pulled his gaze away from the sports car, looked at Qi Chongyan, his eyes were full of: take the younger brother, take the younger brother!
"Didn't I tell you that the zoo feeds the monkeys?" Qi Chongyan threw the key to the waiter in charge of parking, and raised his eyelids to look at Zheng Yuan, "Why, are you short of money again?"
"Lack! Too much!" Zheng Yuan nodded vigorously, "But if you want to make a movie, I will immediately go to my dad for investment. He won't give you any other money, but he will definitely not refuse to invest in you."
Therefore, Qi Chongyan's movies are never short of funds. Every time there is a plan to make a movie, before it is announced, it is rushed by this group of people to divide it up. After all, everyone knows that investing in Qi Chongyan's movies is a sure-fire business.
"No." Qi Chongyan's two words made Zheng Yuan's face collapse, "Who are here?"
"Then Seventh Brother, you must tell me as soon as you have it." Zheng Yuan and Qi Chongyan walked upstairs to the box while talking, "Only the second fat and the third child, I pushed everyone else if they wanted to come."
The four of them have been playmates since they were young. Zheng Yuan knows Qi Chongyan's temperament best, and everyone he doesn't know well will push him away, and he will never give him a chance to get angry.
"En." Qi Chongyan walked towards the box without looking sideways, and attracted many people's amazed eyes along the way. After he found out who this master was, he immediately looked away.
Can't be bothered, can't be bothered.
"Seventh brother." "Seventh brother, you are here."
Qi Chongyan is the eldest of the four, because "Qi" and "Seven" are pronounced similarly, so when he yelled "Brother Qi", he became "Brother Seven", and it hasn't changed until now.
"Why, everyone stayed at home during the Chinese New Year this year?"
Qi Chongyan picked up the glass in the middle and took a half sip of the wine, showing that he was a little depressed.
"I can't help it, I can't go out. I have kissed eight times in less than a week after the holiday!" Zhang Lie vomited bitterly while holding a cup. title.
"I'm almost the same." Chen Shifeng asked Qi Chongyan to sit at the head, filled him up with a bottle of wine, and then gave Zheng Yuan a look, meaning who offended this master?
Zheng Yuan shrugged, he didn't know, just now this master was still feeding monkeys in the zoo.
Zhang Lie did see something, but he didn't dare to say it, because he felt that Qi Chongyan seemed to be trapped by love.
Qi Chongyan is trapped by love?Zhang Lie was frightened by himself.
Impossible, impossible, with the temper of their seventh brother, he would not be trapped by love even if the sky fell.
After Qi Chongyan drank two glasses of mulled wine, he kept switching between WeChat and Weibo. This little kid still doesn't pay attention to him.
"Actually, there are two reasons." Director Xu compared two, "One is because of money. Experienced actors are too expensive, and our crew can't afford them."
The very real reason? Director Xu's speeches today are always making people laugh.
"You've already seen the other reason." Director Xu looked sideways at Zhou Jiajia and the others, "They all performed very well in the movie, didn't they?"
All said yes in unison.
"However,? You said something that wasn't quite right." Director Xu changed his voice, "A newcomer doesn't mean that he has no filming experience."
Zhou Jiajia and the others knew that Director Xu was going to talk about Zong Ji.
"Our younger brother has already acted in many crews before filming "Blooming",? Otherwise, I would not have had the opportunity to know him."
Zong Ji wasn't there, so Director Xu's words aroused the curiosity of many people.
"By the way, where is my brother? Why didn't I see my brother today?"
"My brother is home for the New Year." Before Director Xu could answer, someone answered his question.
Everyone remembered the topic of grabbing train tickets on the hot topic two days ago.
"Director Xu, the competition for the box office during the Spring Festival is so fierce, why did you choose to release it during the Spring Festival?"
According to statistics, a total of [-] films are expected to be released during the Spring Festival, and four films will be withdrawn from the Spring Festival schedule in the later stage, and finally eight films will compete for the Spring Festival box office.
In terms of comprehensive competitiveness, "Blooming Bloom" ranks last. As a literary film with a small audience, its expected box office is far lower than the previous seven big-budget films with first-line actors.
Despite the fact that Mr. Zhou, who is rich and wealthy and loves his daughter, is an investor, the first day of "Blooming" still has less than 5.00% of the film schedule.
This is an extremely low number.
There is no way, the fate of literary films is like this.
Theaters are not charitable organizations. Although they have the right to decide on film scheduling, how to schedule films still depends on the market.Which movies are popular, and which movie tickets are likely to sell well.To put it simply, what movies do audiences want to watch? They just arrange what movies.
There used to be a director of a literary film who knelt down for the screening rate, and angrily "raised the middle finger" because the screening rate did not meet expectations.
Director Xu is someone who has experienced it, and knows that the 4.9% screening rate is the result of the producer's best efforts.
For him, it is not low.Anyway, for literary films, the box office is not important, the main goal is to win awards.
"There are many reasons for the Spring Festival. I want to choose the National Day, but the time is not allowed. The New Year's Day is also a little earlier. The Spring Festival is the most suitable. I also want to let everyone see how the movie I made this time is. Is it worth it for everyone to trust me again?"
"Although the competition for the Spring Festival is fierce, the same audience base is also bigger. I feel that "Blooming" is still suitable for the whole family to watch during the New Year, right?"
The road show went very smoothly, and before it was over, the first film review of "Blooming" appeared on the Internet.
Teacher Niu V: I just finished watching "Blooming", first of all, let me tell you that it is beautiful and worth watching.
The practice of Mr. Niu, a film and television expert, is to tell everyone whether the movie is good or not in the first sentence of the opening sentence, and then give a detailed evaluation later.Many senior fans clicked on the ticketing software after reading his first sentence.
"There are a lot of movies during the Spring Festival, don't worry, I've already bought tickets, and I'll share them with you at that time. Then why I put "Blooming" first, the reason is very simple, I want to see Director Xu's Did you get up this time? The answer is to quote a sentence that Director Xu said in the road show——Xu Zeen has stood up!"
"Next, let's talk about the plot. "Blooming" mainly has two lines, love and family. I'll be honest. Director Xu's technique of filming love and love needs to be improved. Father Ji played by the teacher, I give [-] points, one more point comes from the tears of the audience. I will not talk about the more detailed ones, so as not to spoil the spoilers. If you are interested, watch it by yourself. If you have low tears, remember to advance Bring tissues."
"Zhou Jiajia's performance in the movie is also quite good. She is worthy of being a professional actor with a professional background. She has a solid foundation and the details of her eyes are also in place. It can be seen that she has taken classes very seriously in school and is also talented. She acted Given Ji An's bravery and kindness, the family drama is especially touching, and the name "Blooming" is very appropriate."
"Another thing worth mentioning is Ji Le in the movie. The actor's name is Zong Ji. Before "Blooming", I didn't know this person, and he didn't come from a major. Ji Le didn't have many roles. , I didn’t have much hope at first. But in the movie, this character gave me the biggest surprise. I think that boy under the sunset can be remembered in my heart forever.”
Master Niu wrote a large piece eloquently, and other viewers also gave their own evaluations one after another. The overall difference is not bad, the love line is average, the family line is very touching, the ending is HE, suitable for families to watch, and it is no problem to bring children , that Ji Le is quite educational for children.
The most common problem with many literary films is that the audience doesn't know what to say after the film is over.Perhaps this is also the characteristic of literary films. If you can't understand it at the first pass, you have to ponder over and over again to understand what the director wants to express.
However, most audiences want to watch movies in a relaxed and happy way, and only a very small number of people will constantly go to the second and third times, just to get sympathy with the director.
The narrative technique of "Blooming" is not complicated. Although it is a literary film, it belongs to the part that can be understood by people.
"We succeeded!" Cheers erupted in the lounge where no outsiders were present, and Director Xu was almost moved to tears.
"Director Xu, don't rush to be moved, hurry up and tell everyone the good news in the group, they are still waiting."
Zhou Jiajia couldn't wait any longer. As soon as Director Xu started, she sent a big red envelope to the group.
Director Xu: The road show went very smoothly, and the audience responded very well.
Zhou Jiajia: @宗继, brother, hurry up and get the red envelope.
The group was filled with jubilation, and all kinds of celebratory emojis emerged one after another.
Zong Ji searched for reviews of "Blooming" on the Internet while waiting for news from the group.Before Zhou Jiajia hit him, he had already typed several words in the dialog box.
Zong Ji: Great!Congratulations to Director Xu!Congratulations everyone!
Director Xu: Congratulations to you too.
"How's it going?" Liu Wang accompanied Zong Ji to wait for the news, and when he saw the child's smile, he felt faintly excited.
"Director Xu said it was very good!" Zong Ji replied to Liu Wang with a smile, "There are movie reviews online!"
Liu Wang immediately picked up the phone and scanned all the lines at a glance: "Brother, they are praising you a lot!"
Aunt Sun passed by them and asked what they were boasting about, and Liu Wang picked out Kua Zongji's comment and read it to him.
"Xiao Ji's movie is released?" Aunt Sun put down the things in her hands, "Why didn't you tell me? Where can I watch it?"
Aunt Sun asked a lot of questions in a hurry. Zong Ji and the others didn't hide it on purpose, but they were not sure if the filming was good or not. They were worried about disappointing Aunt Sun, so they planned to wait for the results before telling her.
Qingxi Town is not big, and there is no cinema, but there is one in Shonan next door.
Liu Wang took his mobile phone and searched the film schedule of the Shonan Cinema. There was only one show of "Blooming", at three o'clock in the afternoon, and less than half of them had been sold.
He bought three movie tickets and selected seats on the APP: "Come on, let's go to Shonan to watch a movie."
Aunt Sun was still wearing clothes for working at home, so she hurriedly told them to wait and change into new clothes by herself.
"Where is this going?"
Aunt Sun was reluctant to drive three rounds in her new clothes, but she had good legs and feet, and the brothers were younger, so it wouldn't be long before they reached the town.When meeting people in the village, without Zong Ji and the others talking, Aunt Sun said loudly to them: "You can watch the movie made by Xiao Ji, let's go to Shonan to watch a movie!"
"Really? What's the name of the movie? I'll just say that Xiaoji looks promising!"
The visitor praised a few words, Aunt Sun was afraid of delaying the time to watch the movie, so she didn't talk much, she waved her hand and said that we can talk about it when they come back from watching the movie.
The movie theater in southern Shonan is not as luxurious as the UM movie theater in Tianhe Plaza, the area is not large, and the variety of films is not so complete, but Zong Ji and the others came here for "Blooming", so it doesn't matter if the variety is not complete.
This was Auntie Sun's first time watching a movie. Liu Wang bought a large portion of popcorn and drinks, either because the taste was so good, or to create an atmosphere.
Aunt Sun was a little distressed when she saw the price on the billboard. Little things were gone, but thinking she couldn't embarrass Xiaoji, she held back.
The seats in the movie theater were very comfortable. Aunt Sun touched them curiously, and then looked at the huge screen in front of her.People came into the movie theater one after another, they were all watching Xiao Jiyan's movie, Aunt Sun's face was full of pride.
"Why are there still such empty seats?" The movie started soon, and Aunt Sun asked, pointing to most of the empty seats.
In her perception, no matter what, a movie should be full.
"It's normal to be dissatisfied, unless it's a very famous and powerful movie." Zong Ji explained to her in a low voice, he was surprised that Shonan had a film for "Blooming".
In addition, this is a county seat, and many people either visit relatives or entertain guests at home on New Year's Day, and there are not many people who come out to watch movies.
While comforting Aunt Sun, he also comforted himself.
Soon the movie started, and Zong Ji was watching his own movie for the first time. He read the script and knew all the plots, so his movie-watching experience was different from others.
When Aunt Sun was moved to tears because of the plot in the movie, what floated in his heart was a sense of satisfaction.
Ji Leben, who was carrying firewood, fled into the courtyard. Ji's father asked him what happened. Ji Le hid behind the door, and the girl in a dress knocked on the courtyard door.
The father and daughter met again after many years. Ji Le hid behind the door and only showed a pair of eyes.
Their impressions of each other were more than ten years ago, but this did not prevent them from recognizing each other's identity the moment they met.
Father Ji's hands covered in plaster moved uneasily, he opened his mouth, but didn't say anything, feeling ashamed and afraid to admit it.
In the end, it was Ji An who broke the silence first, and she softly called Dad, and the eyes of the weather-beaten middle-aged man instantly turned red.
Father Ji wiped and wiped the stool at home before letting his daughter who came from the city sit down.
"Dad, when I come back, I want to take my brother to study in the city."
Everything about the girl seemed out of place with her surroundings, it seemed like she shouldn't be in this kind of place.
Hearing what his daughter said, the man accidentally knocked over the cup of water.
"It's good for Lele to study in his hometown." The man only said this sentence, and then no matter what his daughter said, he stopped responding, and even avoided her daughter's sight.
Ji An earnestly persuaded her that now that she is working, she can earn money and can afford her brother's tuition.The quality of teaching in the city is better than that in my hometown, which can give my younger brother a better future.
The girl is still young, and what she thinks is good is like a sharp knife piercing the old father's heart.
At the beginning, because of his incompetence, his wife wanted to divorce him, and took her daughter to marry a man with better conditions.
Now it is still because of his incompetence, so his daughter wants to take his only remaining son away from him!
His waist seems to be bent even more, the old father's eyes are cloudy, and the suffering of life has left too many traces on him.
"Sister." Ji Le came out from behind the door and stood beside his father, "I don't want to go to the city to study."
Does he really not want to?The expectation in the boy's eyes cannot be concealed from others, he wants to go.Father Ji's hand hanging by his side kept shaking, the boy got closer to him, he knew who needed him more.
The girl stayed in her hometown for a week, and the mosquitoes bit her delicate skin into red bumps, which were itchy and unbearable.Ji Le took out the money he had saved from the iron box under the bed, and went to the town on foot to buy an ointment for her. The setting sun stretched his back extraordinarily long.
"Sister, go back." Ji Le used his fingertips to spread the white ointment on the pimple on the back of the girl's neck.
Frustrated, the girl couldn't understand why neither her father nor her brother accepted her proposal.
She came back on leave, even if Ji Le didn't tell her, she had to go back.
"Mom divorced him." Before leaving, Ji An left such a sentence and his phone number.
After Ji An left, Ji's father was smoking an inferior hookah in the yard: "Are you blaming me?"
Ji Le shook her head: "I won't drag my sister down."
"Blame my incompetence!" Father Ji smoked fiercely, the sky above the old house was so dark that it was hard to breathe.
The man was hunched over, his face blurred by the smoke from the hookah.
Aunt Sun thought of Liu Wang's father. When Liu Wang said he would go to northern Hebei, his man had the same attitude and refused to let him go.
Later, Aunt Sun scolded him severely: "You yourself have lived a poor life all your life, do you want your son to live a poor life like you!"
So Liu Wang went to northern Hebei, and his father went to the hospital to get cheaper medicine, and asked her to send the saved money to Liu Wang.
Those few years were really hard, but luckily I made it through.
In the movie, Father Ji gave all the money to Ji Le, and took his ID card to the construction site to do small labor for others.
Ji Le finally told Ji An that his father had come.
Then he called his father: "Dad, sister wants to see you."
Ji An's surgery was successful, and after he was discharged from the hospital, his dull old father sold the family's pigs to make up for Ji Le's tuition for one year.
The kite flyer finally let go of the kite string in his hand.
Aunt Sun was the one who cried the most in the audience. The popcorn she was holding was wet with her tears. Liu Wang's nose was also very sore. His eyes were red, and he obviously shed tears when the lights were dim.
Zong Ji became the one who didn't lose his composure the most.
When he was on the set, he should have cried enough.
Father Ji's performance in the film touched countless people, who deeply remembered this cowardly and great father.
"Brother, you acted really well!" Liu Wang was extremely grateful that he did not reject Zong Ji's defection and brought him into Jibei Film and Television City.
"Xiao Ji did a great job." Aunt Sun's voice was still hoarse, and she shed a lot of tears for Ji Le.
After returning to the village, Aunt Sun moved a stool under the big banyan tree at the entrance of the village. She wanted to tell the villagers how great Zongji's new movie was.
The folks who were aroused by her asked her for details, and at this moment she raised her head: "Oh, I don't know, you'd better go to the cinema, there are in southern Shonan, and a ticket costs dozens of yuan. It's expensive. A little bit, but for Chinese New Year, don’t you spend some money to make yourself happy.”
Not to mention that Aunt Sun's method is quite effective, some people in the village really went to see Zong Ji's new movie.It doesn't matter if they don't know how to buy tickets, the young people in the family are back, let them buy them.
On the morning of the second day of the Lunar New Year, the data of the first day of "Blooming" was sent to Director Xu and others.
On the first day, the screening rate was 5.0%, and the attendance rate was 60.00%.
But director Xu is very satisfied with this. The box office of more than 300 million yuan is about to pay back!Although the film scheduling rate has only increased by 0.1% compared with the initial data, this is also a reflection of the market trend.
With the reputation of "Blooming", the box office in the next few days is likely to exceed the first day!
Dao Xu happily fulfilled his promise and gave Zong Ji a big red envelope.More than half of Mr. Zhou's investment has been recovered. He is not in a hurry, not at all.
On the afternoon of the second day of the Lunar New Year, the crew found someone to take Zong Ji to the hotel. Director Xu and the others were still in another city and would fly over later.
The tight road show schedule made Zhou Jiajia and the others look tired. Director Xu still couldn't sleep well at night. It was because of anxiety before, but now because of excitement.
The box office of "Blooming" on the second day of the Lunar New Year was a full 500 million more than that of the first day of the Lunar New Year, and the screening rate also increased from 5.0% to 6%.
There is a smile visible to the naked eye in everyone's eyes.
Zong Ji brought gifts to each of them, Director Xu's red envelope and road show salary gave him enough funds to express his heart.
The road show in Xiang City was arranged in the International Cinema on Binjiang Paradise Street. After lunch and makeup at the hotel, Zong Ji followed the crew and entered the cinema under the leadership of the staff.
"How's the ticket sales situation for the road show?" Director Xu asked about the ticket sales situation, and the other party told him that the road show was sold out, and [-]% of the tickets for the extra screening in the evening had been sold out.
As soon as Zhou Jiajia sat down, he picked up a pen to sign the posters and postcards. Zong Ji didn't know what to do. Teacher Yang took a pen and stuffed it into his hand: "Come and help us sign together."
"Can you?" Zong Ji's hand holding the pen froze.
"What's wrong?" Zhou Jiajia sat aside to make room for Zong Ji, "Come and sign this."
Zong Ji sat down on the sofa, bent over and carefully wrote his name on the poster. He had never designed a signature, and wrote his name stroke by stroke as if writing an exam paper.
Zong Ji.
He wrote slowly at first, but as more and more posters piled up in his hands, his movements became faster, but his handwriting remained neat.
"Brother's autograph is very good. Come and write one for me. I will take it back and show it to my son, so that he can learn from it too. Don't get deducted points all the time."
Teacher Yang took out a postcard. The poster was too big to carry.
I wish Yang Yiyi every success in his studies and be named on the gold list——Zong Ji.
Yang Yiyi is the name of Teacher Yang’s son, because Teacher Yang’s full name is Yang Yi, and he has suffered enough to write the name since he was a child, so he decided on the name of the child as soon as his wife became pregnant. all.
"Writing your name during the exam can be one step faster than others. It's not good to save more time to do the questions. The exam time is so tight."
Teacher Yang was eloquent, and accepted the postcard written by Zong Ji: "I will paste the words "brother" on my son's desk when I go back."
The movie is over and it's time for them to go on stage.
"The next guest is participating in our "Blooming" roadshow for the first time. I believe everyone should know who it is? Let us welcome, brother, Zong Ji!"
The warm applause made Zong Ji's face slightly red, and he smiled a little shyly. If he hadn't held the microphone with both hands, he might have been nervous.
"Hello everyone, I'm Zong Ji. I play the younger brother Ji Le in "Blooming". I'm very happy to meet you here." He said, switching to his authentic Xiangshi dialect, "I wish everyone a happy new year and Gong Xi Fa Cai. "
He bowed towards the audience, and the audience saw the nervousness of the child, and all smiled kindly.
"My brother is so cute!" "So my brother is so obedient in reality!" "My brother is so white!"
Zong Ji's appearance in the movie is mostly a gray and simple boy with wheat-colored skin and a thin figure. It is really not good-looking, but simple and innocent.
But now, the little boy with a fair and delicate face was wearing a sky blue sweater, as soft as a cloud, with soft short hair covering half of his eyebrows, revealing bright star-like eyes, as cute as a brother next door.
The audience who had just watched the movie compared Ji Le in their minds with the child on the stage, and felt that they were two people, but when they met the child's eyes, they realized again, yes, this is Ji Le.
Ji Le is clean, simple and kind.
"Brother, director Xu said that you had a lot of experience in filming before acting in "Blooming" during the Jibei road show. Can you tell me more about it?"
Everyone wanted to know the answer, but Xu Dao had been keeping things secret until now and insisted on waiting for Zong Jilai to tell everyone.
"Actually, there are not many. It's just some tricks. I accidentally heard the news of Director Xu's audition, so I went to try it. I thank Director Xu for his trust in me and his willingness to give me this opportunity."
Xu Dao and Zong Ji passed the breath, so he spoke the answer smoothly.
"That's not a coincidence." Director Xu took Zong Ji's words with a smile, "The audition meeting for me to choose Ji Le was semi-public. The child made everyone in the audience cry and asked me if I wanted to see you."
"I thought to myself that such a powerful person would be willing to come to me to play a small supporting role? But he said that the child is a trickster, so I said you call someone here."
"By the way, my brother participated in the audition and wrote his resume by hand. Do you want to see it? If you want to see it, I will take a photo and post it on Weibo?"
Handwritten resume?Of course I want to see it!
In addition to the resume, they were also very curious about what Director Xu said about Zong Ji making everyone in the audience cry.
I searched for "Jianghu Journey" on the Internet, but it hasn't started broadcasting yet, so they remember it first.
If it weren't for the recommendation of the director of "Journey to the Rivers and Lakes", Director Xu would not have had the chance to meet Zong Ji, and "Blooming" might not have achieved the current results, so if he does publicity for the other party, he should pay it back This love.
As the largest and most well-equipped movie theater in Xiang City, the movie theater not only held the road show of the crew of "Blooming", but also the crew of "Looking for Immortals" was also in full swing in the theater not far from it.
Unlike "Blooming", which only held one roadshow in one city a day, "Xunxianji" has arranged a dense roadshow plan in more than 40 cities across the country. The protagonists were too busy, so they were divided into three teams. Director + Supporting roles, male first + female first + supporting role, and male second + female second + supporting role.
Leaving aside the effect of the road show, the appearance of eating is ugly enough.
Jiang Shenxing is a supporting role in one of the sub-teams. He has deep thoughts and knows that if he walks with the director and the two protagonists, there will be very few topics on him, so he actively chooses to be with the second male and female second.
"Xunxianji" has an investment of nearly one billion, and has invited many traffic stars to join. It claims to create the most fantasy fairy tale drama in China. From the start of the hype to the release, the gimmicks are huge, which has whetted the appetite of the audience.
After the first day of the Lunar New Year, it directly topped the list with a box office of 4.1 million. "Blooming" is not as good as his fraction.
Regardless of the film scheduling rate and ratings, 4.1 million seems to be a very remarkable number.
But what if you add in his 40.00% film scheduling rate and his rating that fell below 8.5 on the first day of the broadcast?
On the second day after its release, the film schedule of "Xunxianji" dropped to 30.00%. On that day, the box office was 2.3 million, the attendance rate was only 56%, and the score dropped to 8.2, and there is still a downward trend.
The audience's eyes are not blind, and they are not without brains.
They can see the five-cent special effects and the whole film's rotten stalks, okay?
Do publicity with your heart, make a movie with your feet, invest nearly one billion, and hire actors for [-] million - by Mr. Niu.
The smile on Jiang Shenxing's face cracked after the first film review on the Internet came out.
Mr. Niu, who has always been outspoken, attached an emoji when the film review was released: rnm, money back!
No matter how broken his heart was, Jiang Shenxing still had to face the audience participating in the road show with a smile on his face.
He thinks that there is no problem with his performance in the movie, but he can't stand the special effects and keeps holding back. The ten-level beauty filter even wiped out his micro-expressions to express emotions!
The media are best at playing with the wind. How much they praised "Xunxianji" before it was released, the problem is as sharp as it is now.
Jiang Shenxing and the others could hardly maintain the smiles on their faces, but there were still dozens of roadshows waiting for them.
At the same time, the score of "Blooming" reached 9.0.
On the way back to the lounge, the two parties met on a narrow road.Jiang Shenxing saw Zong Ji in the crowd at a glance, and the other party's smile seemed so dazzling to him.
It is also a Spring Festival movie, and everyone knows their respective performances. Director Xu restrained his smile a little, and nodded to Jiang Shenxing and others.
""Looking for Immortals" may lose money this time." Director Xu murmured to Zong Ji in a low voice.
As a director, he has a better understanding of the film market than Zong Ji and the others. According to the domestic accounting principle, the box office needs to be three times the cost of the film to make it back.That is to say, the investment of "Xun Xian Ji" is close to one billion, and the box office needs to reach 30 billion, so that the producers may not lose money.
According to the current box office situation, let alone 30 billion, it is not certain whether "Xun Xian Ji" will have a final box office of 20 billion.
Director Xu sighed, and quickly put a smile on his face. It doesn't matter to him whether "Xun Xian Ji" loses money or not, anyway, he made money.
The road show of "Blooming Bloom" lasted from the first day of the Lunar New Year to the seventh day of the Lunar New Year. Zong Ji only followed the Xiangshi one. After returning home, he did some errands in his hometown, then packed his things and returned to northern Hebei.
The Hebei Film and Television City is crowded with people, and the streets filled with red lanterns are full of festive atmosphere.
Zong Ji walked through the crowd with the candied haws bought by Liu Wang, full of curiosity about everything he saw.
Only at this time, Liu Wang can feel a little bit of what a child should be from him.
"Slow down." There was a sea of people everywhere, Liu Wang stretched out his hand to hold Zong Ji, and a child holding a windmill ran past quickly in front of him.
This temple fair divides the film and television city into two large areas. According to different architectural styles, it is divided into two themes of the palace and the folk.
Zong Ji is now in a water town in the south of the Yangtze River. The water in the pond is covered with thin ice, so it doesn’t look particularly cold due to the crowds. There are lantern riddles on the side of the road. The lanterns are very beautiful. Zong Ji took a photo, and then went to go forward.
The monkey show booth was full of people. Three little monkeys were somersaulting among the crowd, with iron collars around their necks, and the other end of the chain was held in the hands of the monkey performers.
Zong Ji suddenly thought of himself. It seemed that he hadn't turned somersaults for a long time, and he had to hurry up to practice when he got back.
Apart from crying and somersaulting, he has no other skills, and the only two things can't be lost.
The living room of the new home is not small, so it is no problem to move the table and let him do somersaults in it.
Zong Ji V: Temple Fair~【Picture】
"Where is my brother? It's so fun!"
"Is it the big temple fair in Hebei Film and Television City? I just came back yesterday!"
"My friends, I'm going to meet my younger brother by chance. Wait for my good news."
How could Zong Ji give them a chance to meet by chance? He just picked nine photos out of a bunch of photos on his phone and posted them on Weibo after he came out of the temple fair.
Choose nine more and send them to Moments.
There are also nine trumpets, which are clearly arranged.
"Chongyan, this is your Aunt Qian and her daughter Xiyun. You used to play with Xiyun a lot, do you remember?"
Qi Chongyan lifted his eyes from the phone, and glanced coolly at the mother and daughter sitting on the opposite sofa: "I don't remember."
The tone was as cold as ice, as if the mother and daughter opposite were just two strangers, not as interesting as Zong Ji's circle of friends.
This little monkey looks quite cute, with big eyes and red buttocks.
The smiles of the mother and daughter froze for an instant, but thinking of the purpose of coming today, the two regained their expressions. Aunt Qian patted the back of her daughter's hand: "You were still young at that time, and it's normal if you don't remember, but we Xiyun But I always remember you, Brother Chongyan. No, I came with me as soon as I returned to China."
Qi Chongyan looked at his mother this time, with a colder expression on his face: "I thought you should at least ask for my own opinion first."
"What is your own opinion? Your Auntie Qian brought Yunyun here as a guest. She came to see me. Don't think about it."
Qi Chongyan sneered: "Since I'm here to look for you, then I'll leave first."
After speaking, he got up and left without even looking at the mother and daughter.
"I'm really sorry, my son is just spoiled by me and has a bad temper." Ms. Tang's eyes were a little sad, and today's blind date seemed to be in vain again.
But this time, he didn't throw something and leave on the spot, and even said a few words, which is considered an improvement, right?
Ms. Tang felt at ease, she didn't know that the reason why his son didn't throw something and leave on the spot today was because of those photos in his circle of friends.
Qi Chongyan slammed the car door shut, his fucking routine really remained the same.
The sports car roared away. During the Spring Festival, the road conditions in Beijing were much better than before. There was almost no traffic jam, and Qi Chongyan arrived at his destination.
There are quite a few people at the destination.
"Seventh Brother, what are you doing?"
After receiving a call from Faxiao, Qi Chongyan slowly handed out the banana in his hand: "The zoo is feeding the monkeys."
Probably because he looks too easy to mess with, and it is the nature of animals to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. No one cares about the bananas he handed out. On the other hand, none of the things in other people's hands stay for more than three seconds.
For a while, Qi Chongyan received a lot of stares, as if he was a monkey king.
"What are you doing in the zoo to feed the monkeys in this cold weather?" The person on the other end of the phone looked at the phone suspiciously. He called the wrong person, "Will you come for a drink?"
Qi Chongyan threw the banana out, and the monkeys who had been watching for a long time finally swarmed up: "Wait."
After hanging up the phone, Qi Chongyan glanced at the monkey who was peeling bananas, heh, it's pretty dainty!
There was only one place where this group of people often drank. Qi Chongyan drove downstairs to the clubhouse, and Zheng Yuan who called him was already waiting there.
"Where do you come from?" Zheng Yuan looked greedily at Qi Chongyan's sports car, another one he wanted to buy but his father refused to buy, woo woo woo, he was so sour, "Seventh brother, do you have anything new?" Shooting plan, bring me one."
He pulled his gaze away from the sports car, looked at Qi Chongyan, his eyes were full of: take the younger brother, take the younger brother!
"Didn't I tell you that the zoo feeds the monkeys?" Qi Chongyan threw the key to the waiter in charge of parking, and raised his eyelids to look at Zheng Yuan, "Why, are you short of money again?"
"Lack! Too much!" Zheng Yuan nodded vigorously, "But if you want to make a movie, I will immediately go to my dad for investment. He won't give you any other money, but he will definitely not refuse to invest in you."
Therefore, Qi Chongyan's movies are never short of funds. Every time there is a plan to make a movie, before it is announced, it is rushed by this group of people to divide it up. After all, everyone knows that investing in Qi Chongyan's movies is a sure-fire business.
"No." Qi Chongyan's two words made Zheng Yuan's face collapse, "Who are here?"
"Then Seventh Brother, you must tell me as soon as you have it." Zheng Yuan and Qi Chongyan walked upstairs to the box while talking, "Only the second fat and the third child, I pushed everyone else if they wanted to come."
The four of them have been playmates since they were young. Zheng Yuan knows Qi Chongyan's temperament best, and everyone he doesn't know well will push him away, and he will never give him a chance to get angry.
"En." Qi Chongyan walked towards the box without looking sideways, and attracted many people's amazed eyes along the way. After he found out who this master was, he immediately looked away.
Can't be bothered, can't be bothered.
"Seventh brother." "Seventh brother, you are here."
Qi Chongyan is the eldest of the four, because "Qi" and "Seven" are pronounced similarly, so when he yelled "Brother Qi", he became "Brother Seven", and it hasn't changed until now.
"Why, everyone stayed at home during the Chinese New Year this year?"
Qi Chongyan picked up the glass in the middle and took a half sip of the wine, showing that he was a little depressed.
"I can't help it, I can't go out. I have kissed eight times in less than a week after the holiday!" Zhang Lie vomited bitterly while holding a cup. title.
"I'm almost the same." Chen Shifeng asked Qi Chongyan to sit at the head, filled him up with a bottle of wine, and then gave Zheng Yuan a look, meaning who offended this master?
Zheng Yuan shrugged, he didn't know, just now this master was still feeding monkeys in the zoo.
Zhang Lie did see something, but he didn't dare to say it, because he felt that Qi Chongyan seemed to be trapped by love.
Qi Chongyan is trapped by love?Zhang Lie was frightened by himself.
Impossible, impossible, with the temper of their seventh brother, he would not be trapped by love even if the sky fell.
After Qi Chongyan drank two glasses of mulled wine, he kept switching between WeChat and Weibo. This little kid still doesn't pay attention to him.
