After the vase cannon fodder is reborn

The time soon came to the beginning of May, and Wen Zhuoyu was still grinding his teeth with the theaters about the filming of "Embroidered Student".Everyone knows that "Embroidered Life" is a realistic film with a low investment cost, a weak cast, and a plot that doesn't really cater to the audience's preferences.

Therefore, when "Embroidered Students" was scheduled, the major theaters were unwilling to give too high a schedule.Everyone felt that a movie with such a dull subject matter would not make much money.This is also an important reason why director Cen Wangnian insisted on putting "Embroidered Students" in the off-season of exams from mid-May to mid-June.I was worried about being squeezed out by other movies released at the same time.

Now it's an off-season schedule, and the movies released in the same period are not the same as "Xiusheng", but Wen Zhuoyu, the leading actor of "Xiusheng", is more popular than the leading actors of other movies, and has a lot of attention and discussion.This is an advantage.Coupled with Wen Zhuoyu's talent and ability in the investment field, he partnered with Gu Xihuai, the eldest son of the Gu Group, to open an investment company, and the theater chain is also eager to get on board this big boat.Just in order to show favor to Wen Zhuoyu, he must also show something in the film arrangement.

So after several rounds of discussions, everyone finally decided to give "Embroidered Life" 30% of the film schedule, and also agreed to add a 15-second patch in front of several other films that will be released at the same time. The promotional posters of "Embroidered Life" try to ensure that all offline moviegoers can notice the release of "Embroidered Life" as soon as possible... It can be said that many commercial movies with high cost and strong cast are here. This was the treatment at the beginning of the release.

It's just that other movies spend their own money and ask the theaters to cooperate in the promotion, but Wen Zhuoyu's "Embroidered Life" is actively posted by the major theaters.

The total sum is only 800 million publicity expenses, which may be a lot of money for the producer, but for the theater itself, it is just the icing on the cake.You must know that these people usually spend money like crazy in order to make friends with those bigwigs in the financial world.Now, just using the internal resources of the theater chain, you can make friends with Zhuoyu and Gu Xihuai below. This business is really not too profitable!

At the same time, Wen Zhuoyu also felt very profitable.He and Gu Xihuai's investment company had just been established, and there were a large number of big customers who were stupid and rich, waving banknotes and crying to open an account, and even offered to help him solve the problem of promoting the movie. How could Yu be dissatisfied!

Gu Xihuai could tell that no matter what Wen Zhuoyu did, he took one step at a time and watched ten steps at a time.Before Gu Xihuai chatted with Wen Zhuoyu, he was worried about how to attract business after the establishment of the investment company. After all, Gu Xihuai had lived for more than 20 years and had never done sales, let alone how to attract business.At that time, Gu Xihuai was still thinking about whether to meet with the collaborators and suppliers of the Gu Group, and ask them if they had any investment needs—the intention of poaching their own corners was not hidden.

Wen Zhuoyu said at the time that there is no need to worry, and that when the time is right, customers will flock to it.

Thinking about it now, maybe Wen Zhuoyu had already thought of using "Embroidered Life" as a bait at that time, not only can solve the movie's promotion and filming at no cost, but also take this opportunity to select the first batch of big customers ——It was still delivered to the door on its own initiative.

"You are really amazing!" Gu Xihuai praised sincerely.

"We are really good." Wen Zhuoyu corrected with a smile.He scooped up the first barrel of wool in the theater, and Gu Xihuai did not give up.Although he has no intention of officially taking over the Gu Group, after all, Gu Xihuai is the biological son of Chairman Gu and Mrs. Gu, and is a veritable major shareholder of the Gu Group. Who would dare not give him face?

Gu Xihuai relied on his own identity to solicit customers everywhere within the scope of the internal suppliers and external partners of the Gu Group. Tens of millions are not too little, and hundreds of millions are not too much. .For this matter, Gu Xihuai, who has never participated in the management of the group, also attended several shareholders' meetings. The annoyed Chairman Gu cursed at the meeting: "...it is said that a married daughter is poured water, you are a son! I can’t even point it out! Do you know how to turn your elbows outward all day long?”

Gu Xihuai snorted coldly when he heard the words: "How fresh! Whose elbow doesn't turn outward? Can you turn one inward for me to try?"

Chairman Gu: "..."

Chairman Gu almost suffered a heart attack from Gu Xihuai's words, and immediately slapped the table and kicked Gu Xihuai out of the shareholders' meeting.The security personnel who were called in by Chairman Gu's internal call looked at each other, and could only look at Mrs. Gu helplessly.

Mrs. Gu sighed, and looked at Gu Xihuai helplessly: "It's almost done. This is a formal meeting within the group. You are not afraid of being laughed at if you act so recklessly."

Gu Xihuai shrugged his shoulders with an innocent face: "In terms of public affairs, the chairman of the group actually asked the security personnel to forcibly expel the company's shareholders at the shareholders' meeting. Isn't this inappropriate? In terms of private matters, he is a father in his own company. Doesn't it look good to throw out your son?"

Mrs. Gu had nothing to say, so she could only warn Chairman Gu in a low voice: "Have you heard what your son said? You are not stable as a father, why do you ask him to follow the rules?"

Chairman Gu: "..." Is it his fault for co-authoring?

Chairman Gu glared at Gu Xihuai angrily, pointed at Mrs. Gu and reprimanded: "A loving mother is a failure. Just get used to it."

A group of shareholders watched a big show for free, winking with joy, pretending to smooth things over, and others were very interested in the company of Gu Xihuai and Wen Zhuoyu.As soon as the shareholders' meeting was over, they immediately gathered around Gu Xihuai to inquire about opening an account and investing.

Chairman Gu walked away angrily, out of sight and out of mind.

Gu Xihuai took a thick stack of business cards, and made an appointment with all interested shareholders to meet and discuss in detail.When I went home at night, I still didn't forget to show off to Wen Zhuoyu: "A hard-working employee like me can be placed in another company, no matter what, he can be a sales champion, right?"

"You don't need to go to another company," Wen Zhuoyu touched with a smile: "You are also the sales champion in our company. I don't know what reward the sales champion wants?"

Gu Xihuai looked Wen Zhuoyu up and down carefully, and asked knowingly, "Can any reward be acceptable?"

Wen Zhuoyu laughed dumbfounded: "What do you think?"

So that night, Gu Xihuai enjoyed the benefits of selling crowns all night.As for how to enjoy it, outsiders don't know.

May NO.15 is the premiere day of the film selected by "Embroidered Life".Because the shooting cost is not high, and it is not strictly a commercial film, the cast can be called simple. Except for Wen Zhuoyu, it is estimated that there is not even an actor who can be fully named by the audience, so The crew did not engage in any offline publicity for the nationwide tour.Directly at the prime time at [-] o'clock in the evening, the simultaneous screening in most cities was arranged.

Probably because the previous theater promotions were in place, and there were really no movies that could be played in the same period, the attendance rate on the day of the premiere was not bad.Wen Zhuoyu and Gu Xihuai were wearing hoodies, peaked caps and masks. When the movie was about to start, they entered the screening room in a secretive manner, and found that almost half of the people were seated inside.

——If the attendance rate of other movie theaters in other cities can reach this level, Wen Zhuoyu will be satisfied.At least it shows that this movie still has the possibility of paying back.

Gu Xihuai stuffed the popcorn bucket in his hand to Wen Zhuoyu, and comforted him with a smile: "It doesn't matter if you can't get back the money, we can cooperate with some embroidery studios to sell the peripherals."

Wen Zhuoyu raised his eyebrows: Good idea.

He gave Gu Xihuai a cup of the drink in his hand.Gu Xihuai didn't answer, but bowed his head and took a sip from Wen Zhuoyu's hand instead.In the dimly lit auditorium, Wen Zhuoyu and Gu Xihuai deliberately sat in the back row, and few people saw their interaction.

A group of student-looking spectators sitting in the front row looked around excitedly, took out their mobile phones and took pictures and videos, and from time to time they gathered together and whispered. They screamed softly together, and Wen Zhuoyu's name could still be vaguely heard.It attracted other viewers to look over frequently.

Gu Xihuai was very experienced, so he leaned into Wen Zhuoyu's ear and whispered a guess: "Could it be your fan?" The audience of this age group is obviously not the audience of this movie!We also came together so much, either a class reunion or a fan reunion.There is no third possibility.

The scorching breath sprayed behind Wen Zhuoyu's ears, and Wen Zhuoyu subconsciously avoided it.

Gu Xihuai also restrained himself and moved to the side.After all, it's in a public place, so it's not easy to be too intimate, and it will be troublesome if someone notices it.

Fortunately, the movie started soon.The entire auditorium suddenly went dark, and the young people sitting in the front row immediately fell silent.Only the big screen lighted up faintly, and accompanied by the melodious Pingtan ditty, a picture of people frolicking on the small bridge and flowing water suddenly appeared in front of everyone as the sun went down in the west.

The photographer used a long shot of one and a half minutes long to describe in detail the place where the hero Xiusheng grew up.The white walls of Wuwa, the bluestone roads, and the fresh green willows sway in the warm wind of March in Yangchun. The mottled walls and mossy bricks and stones reveal the sparseness of the town.The gurgling water bypasses the small town, and the awning boat slowly drills through the bluestone bridge hole. The camera gradually rises and the field of vision gradually enlarges. There are rows of high-rise buildings in the distance. The modern metropolis made of reinforced concrete is in stark contrast to the town in front of you.

The audience sitting in the projection hall couldn't help but shine.With the continuous development of the times, they have rarely been able to see such a fireworks-like city scene.

"It's really beautiful here." Some viewers whispered: "I don't know where it is. I want to travel during the summer vacation."

"You can look it up online when you get back." Another viewer echoed, "Let's go together when the time comes."

In the dark projection hall, Gu Xihuai looked at the Jiangnan scenery on the big screen, leaned into Wen Zhuoyu's ear and whispered, "I want to go too!"

Wen Zhuoyu had no choice but to pinch Gu Xihuai's wrist secretly: "Wait for the summer vacation, if I have time, I will go with you."

Gu Xihuai was not very satisfied: "What if?"

Wen Zhuoyu let out a long sigh, and changed his words: "I will definitely accompany you."

In the dark, Gu Xihuai curled the corners of his mouth in satisfaction, and finally sat back safely, without making any fuss.

On the big screen, the movie had already played until Xiusheng slammed the door and left after arguing with his father, only to return to the scene 30 years ago in his sleep.

"No way!" Xiusheng stood dumbfounded on the crowded street.Unlike the lonely town 30 years later, the town 30 years ago was extremely lively.There is also the city's largest textile factory in the town, with more than 2 employees and family members.Everyone is proud to be an employee of the textile factory.

Only Xiusheng knew that in a few years, the textile factory would not be able to pay wages due to serious losses. First, it would lay off employees in batches, and finally it would go bankrupt and be acquired.

"This dream is too real." Xiusheng was feeling emotional when his gaze suddenly fixed.He seemed to see his father from 30 years ago.

When the camera turned, it gave a close-up of Mr. Songbai who played Xiusheng's father.In order to show the youthful vigor of a young man in his twenties, the nearly 50-year-old opera bone first puts great effort into makeup.It takes more than two hours to put on makeup every morning, and the creases on the face need to be opened with a special kind of makeup glue.That kind of glue paste is particularly uncomfortable on the face, but the effect is also very good.At least in the camera, Mr. Songbai's actual age can't be seen at all.

"Dad!" Xiusheng leaned forward with an excited face.
