The scene pulls back to Hai#Kou City;

It's still the same night, it's still the same rooftop, it's still the same people, but their moods are very different.

Zhao Punctual had just hung up the phone from Jiang Che. He had been waiting for Jiang Che's call, and he knew that Jiang Che would definitely make this call.

But Zhao Shoushi didn't guess the content of this phone call, and it was Jiang Che's response that surprised him.

Indeed, from Zhao Punctuality's point of view, Jiang Che's response cannot be said to be the best solution. But in many cases, the optimal solution is anti-human and a very difficult choice to make.

You must know that Liu San is Jiang Che's eldest brother in life, and the relationship between the two is very close.

at work. The current general manager, Jiang Che, used to be the director. And Liu San is the deputy director of the logistics department, and he will inevitably provide some overt or implicit support to the former.

If such a cronie wants to give up, he must go through very careful consideration.

In the eyes of others, this may be a concession from Jiang Che. But Zhao Shoushi didn't think so, in his opinion, it was just Jiang Che's retreat. The position of [Director] is not a mouth-watering reward, but a [bait] that smells fragrant but has a high risk of killing people.

Fan Keren was by Zhao Punctuality's side, and he took all the exchanges between the two into his ears. Knowing that Zhao Punctual was about to be promoted to 'director', she was naturally full of excitement.

Originally, she wanted to congratulate Zhao Punctuality, but she found that Zhao Punctuality's face was gloomy, and she understood that there must be other sayings in it. She asked timidly: "Isn't it a good thing that you have been promoted to 'director'? Why are you still not happy? Your Forbidden City Pictures is a subsidiary of a public institution, and this 'director' is almost as good as my brother." ”

"Rejoice, must rejoice. ”

"Hey, you don't believe what you say to the ghosts. ”

Zhao Punctual stretched out his hand to mess up Fan Keren's hair, and said with a smile: "I'm really happy, and this is really a good thing." It's just a little dangerous. I underestimate Jiang Che a little, his scheming and methods are first-class, even above me. ”

"How I don't understand your words. Could it be that Jiang Che agreed to deal with Liu San, not to back down?" Fan Keren is also barely the second generation of Shangguan, although he is not here, but he also understands a little bit.

Her previous judgment was that Jiang Che's handling of Liu San was a last resort, and it was a sign of weakness to Zhao Punctuality. But Zhao Punctuality's statement made her doubt her judgment.

"How can it be a concession, this is a kill for me. ”

Zhao Punctual directly denied it, and only after sorting out his thoughts did he tell the story, "You don't know the situation inside our Forbidden City, so some things can't be calculated."

Some time ago, Jiang Che proposed to report to his superiors and apply for me to serve as the [director]. But the conditions at that time were that the "Yu Huanshui" and "Tip of the Tongue" projects would be successful.

At that time, if the project was really completed, I would take advantage of the situation to sit in this position, and basically there would be no dissatisfaction and backlash.

But he gave me the position of director before I could make a real difference. To outsiders, why did I get into the position of director?

At this critical moment, it is inevitable to associate and even lead to the [Liu San incident], then it is easy for everyone to form a 'I Zhao Punctual is a position on the steamed bun by eating human blood' in their hearts, and at that time, whether it is a grassroots employee or a colleague at the same level as me, it is estimated that they will want to get rid of me as soon as possible.

What can I say? I can't say anything. Because as long as I open my mouth, I will be scolded for being hypocritical, and I will be scolded for being cheap and behaved.

And, on the face of it, it looks like this. They don't care that I don't need the title of 'director' at this stage, because that title comes with greater responsibility.

For a 100-point question, 60 points are passed, and 70 points are considered good. But now I can achieve at least 80 points to meet everyone's expectations, and only by achieving 90 points will I not be scolded for waste. Without excellent grades, everything is empty.

This is also the reason why Jiang Che is so anxious to give me the position, he is waiting to see the results of "Iron Fist", "Yu Huanshui", and "Tip of the Tongue". Waiting to see me raise a tall building and feast guests, the building collapsed.

There is no need for the project to fail, as long as the project income is not too high, coupled with negative public opinion, it will inevitably form a wave of reversal. When the time comes, let alone the position of director, it is not impossible to be swept away.

This is to say: what will be destroyed, it will be strengthened, what will be weak, it will be strengthened, what will be abolished, it will be strengthened, what will be abolished, it will be strengthened, and what will be taken will be fixed with it. It is said that the weak is better than the strong, and the fish cannot escape from the abyss.

It's just that I'm holding the [Villain Role] now. When the time comes, how unbearable my image is, how magnificent Jiang Che's image is. ”

Fan Keren was anxious, and asked with concern: "Why is this person so damaged, he doesn't do business every day, and he just thinks about conspiracies." What about you, do you have any way to deal with it? Do you want me to find my dad?"

"No, auntie, don't. Zhao Punctual hurriedly stopped. If you want this little thing to alarm Fan Weiguo, there will be no possibility except to be despised.

Besides, with the current complicated situation, Zhao Shoushi really didn't have the courage to face Fan Keren and her father, and even he didn't even dare to see Fan Yang,,, for fear that he would pick up a knife and cut himself.

Zhao Punctual didn't want to alarm Fan Weiguo, in addition to being weak-hearted, there was also a consideration that he was not helpless against Jiang Che.

"Otherwise, just be my dad's secretary. I think that bastard dares to you. Fan Keren shook Zhao Punctuality's arm, half coquettish and half serious persuasion.

Zhao Punctual smiled bitterly, he didn't even have the courage to see Fan Weiguo now, let alone be his secretary. But I'm embarrassed to tell Fan Keren about this.

coughed twice, and Zhao Punctuality, who was reassured, said in a low voice: "Do you think your father can see me as a turtle with a shrunken head when something happens?" Besides, I am not that kind of person, if I want to leave, I Zhao Punctual will have to leave in high spirits after making achievements, instead of being swept out of the house as a lost dog. ”

"I'm too lazy to care about you, what do you like? ”

Fan Keren snorted coldly, directly shook off Zhao Punctuality's arm, and turned his back to her with an unhappy look.

"Look, I'm angry. This is just my speculation, maybe Jiang Che doesn't have this kind of thought. After a pause, Zhao Punctual continued:

"Even if that's the case, as long as I don't give him a chance. Why am I not in a hurry, because I have confidence in "Iron Fist", "Tip of the Tongue", and "Yu Huanshui". I'm not afraid of Jiang Che's conspiracy at all, he is strong, he is strong, and the breeze blows the hills. He is horizontal, and the bright moon shines on the river.

And this is what I want to do, I don't pay attention to him, as long as I do my best, it's not better than anything. ”

Only then did Fan Keren understand that Zhao Punctual was not willing to suffer grievances because he was afraid of his own face, he really had the confidence to face it alone.

The cold snort that wanted to continue pretending to be angry was accompanied by three points of pleasure. After breaking the work, she turned around and tilted her head to look at Zhao Punchou, "I just like your serious and shameless appearance." ”

"You don't come, buddy, this is a classic created by strength, and it is no accident that the king is the king. ”

Vomit~~

Fan Keren, who was disgusted, vomited, and she remembered something, and said, "By the way, you'd better pay more attention to the progress of these projects." Even if the final result is not satisfactory, at least you still have a label of dedication. ”

"Well, that makes sense. Zhao Punctuality, who agreed, began to calculate the time: ""Iron Fist" will be released on April 28, and it is estimated that it will start promoting ten and a half days in advance. That's only half a month for me. ”

Fan Keren lowered his head at some point, almost buried between his legs, and whispered softly: "Why don't you go to the "Tip of the Tongue" group to star." "Yu Huanshui" has me here, and it will definitely not hold you back. ”

"But I've been with "Tip of the Tongue" for a month. If you go again, will there be no one in the crew of "Yu Huanshui" who is unwilling. ”

In an instant, Fan Keren's face was so red that her ears lobe, she knew what Zhao Punctual meant, and she also knew who he said 'unwilling' would be.

If it was before, she would definitely go back and mock it, but now she just wants to say what is in her heart: "Don't go." ”

"Then don't go. ”

"88 is a dragon, right?"

Of course, Zhao Punctual knew that people born in 1988 belonged to dragons, and he was born in 1988, so he didn't understand what Fan Keren meant, and he asked, "Yes, what's the problem?"

"Hey~ It's a big problem. ”

Fan Keren raised his finger to pick Zhao Punctu's chin, and she smiled wickedly on tiptoe, "Today I will be a dragon knight for the people." ”

Boomer.

Search and kill is ~

~～～～～～

On April 18, the crew of "I Am Yu Huanshui" completed the filming of the last scene, and the crew moved to post-production.

Post-production does not need to use too much manpower and material resources, Zhang Yu is in charge, Lei Hong took the "Yu Huanshui" team that has been run-in to start preparing for the preparation of "Heart Flower Road", such as fine-tuning the script, auditioning actors, selecting filming locations, etc.

"Yu Huanshui" has only eleven episodes, and "Tip of the Tongue" has only eight episodes. The two of the same short dramas started almost at the same time, and they were also completed almost at the same time.

"Bite of the Tongue", which has fewer episodes, was completed about ten days later because of the exquisite ingredients and the seasonal restrictions on ingredients, but the last shot was also completed before May Day.

After the completion of post-production, the two will hold a conference to invite TV stations, video websites, distributors and new media channels who are interested in purchasing.

Things are one after another, making Zhao Punctual busy, and the only thing to be thankful for is that they are all good things.

April 28 is Friday, and "Iron Fist" was successfully released in major theaters in China. Because Zhang Xun is Zhang Mou's son, plus actor Liu Yesheng is very rare to play the role of a villain.

Naturally, it has gained a lot of attention. In addition, there are no works by big directors on May Day this year, and theaters around the country are also willing to play "Iron Fist" to test the acceptance of the market.

On the first day of release, the nationwide film scheduling rate was 20%, and the box office on the first day was 2000W, ranking second at the box office on the same day. In the case of twice the film scheduling rate than the first place, it is only 800W less than the other party's box office. This potential is evident.

The box office on the second day seems to prove this, with a box office of 3000W+ on the same day, although it is still the second place, it narrows the gap to one million.

The box office on the third day is 4000W+. The result of breaking 100 million in three days, even if Zhang Xun is Zhang Mou's son, it is a very good result.

The box office on the fourth day is 5000W. On the fifth day, even if it was a working day, the box office did not decrease, and even soared by 10 million to nearly 6000W, and the next day stabilized this result.

On the seventh day, the weekend returned, and the box office hit 8000W strongly.

The box office is growing every day, and the increase is more than 10 million. Seven days in a row without showing any signs of decline has already proven the potential of this dark horse.

In addition to the accident of the movie's dense laughter, another reason is that from the Spring Festival to May Day, there was not a single hit movie in the cinema. Not to mention a comedy that can amuse everyone and is willing to let everyone share it with those around them.

The audience has no comedy for a long time.

In stark contrast to the strong rise at the box office, there was a flood of bad reviews from filmmakers. Some film critics who are upright (money) have labeled "Iron Fist" as boring, superficial, without connotation, artistic, and educational.

even escalated to a personal attack on Zhang Xun, questioning that he was the son of director Zhang Mou, and he had been by his side for ten years, as long as he learned a little artistic attainment, he would not make such a nutritious farce.

Of course, there are still many film critics who are not (hired) to blow the rainbow fart of "Iron Fist".

The two keyboard warriors are struggling on the Internet, and the popularity of "Iron Fist" is getting higher and higher, and there are faint signs of breaking the circle, which brings an intuitive reflection of the strong growth of the box office.

From April 28 to May 4, in seven days, "Iron Fist" collected 350 million box office.

Under normal circumstances, the release cycle of domestic films is one month. People in the industry have their own conventional judgments. The box office of the previous week (seven days) accounts for about 50% of the total box office. The box office in half a month is about 75% of the total box office.

According to this estimate, the box office performance of "Iron Fist" should be around 700 million.

But the achievements of "Iron Fist", an absolute dark horse, have broken this convention. The industry's evaluation of this movie is that it is very likely to break one billion and become the first Chinese-language film to break one billion at the box office.

If you really get what you want, you basically book the position of this year's annual box office champion.

Zhang Xun can join the billion-level director club, not to mention, he will also be the only director in the current history of Chinese film with a Virgo seat exceeding one billion.

Not only Zhangxun, but others have also gained a lot. Liu Yesheng is also very likely to harvest his first billion-level movie.

As the popularity of "The Voice Season 1" faded, and everyone almost forgot that Zhao Punctual existed, he made a strong return with "Iron Fist" to once again let everyone know what [your uncle will always be your uncle].

There is also Pei Youqing, who was originally unknown and transparent, but he was unexpectedly popular. I don't know how many people have become the white moonlight in their minds.

In order to make the dream of a billion box office, which was originally not even expected in a dream, become a 'fact', the publicity and distribution department decided to absolutely launch the post-screening roadshow to express the audience's gratitude, and will also participate in some variety show promotion.

For example, Mango Channel's evergreen program "Happy Camp" invited the Iron Fist crew to record.

Considering that Anxi was recording "I Am a Singer" on Mango Channel, Zhao Shoushi happily went.
