"What's the matter?" Zhou Mu walked over and found that Yang Hong and several management managers were writing numbers on pieces of paper.

"Everyone is guessing the box office. ”

Yang Hong was in a good mood, bent her eyes and smiled: "Look who guesses whom, do you want to come?"

"What's the jackpot?"

Zhou Mu suddenly realized that he didn't mind getting involved.

Yang Hong smiled: "Whoever guesses right, who treats." ”

"It's not a lottery, it's like a punishment. Zhou Mu couldn't help laughing, but he also knew that the few people present were not short of money.

Let's just play and entertain others.

In the end, it's because of the good mood. Different from the apprehension of the main creator, after seeing the reaction at the scene, they can basically conclude.

The box office of "Source Code" is not bad.

It's done.

The problem is that you can make a few times the profit.

When Zhou Mu was writing, Cui Ji and Gu Debai also came over to join in the fun.

Arriving at the restaurant hotel, everyone gathered in the box, and by the way, they lit up the zero-point box office data written by themselves.

Twenty or thirty million, that is a pure treat.

100 million, 80 million, naturally is a good wish.

Put the data in the middle of the turntable.

As soon as the delicious food was served, everyone rolled up their sleeves and ate and drank.

Among them, there are a few people, who are still a little uneasy, no matter how delicious the food is, it is like chewing wax when it is delivered to the mouth, and there is no taste.

Zhou Mu understood this mentality very well, and did not persuade them.

Anyway, wait for the zero box office results to come out.

They will return to normal.

......

"Ding!"

A cell phone rings.

Everyone's chopsticks suddenly stopped in mid-air, and their eyes met, focusing on Yang Hong's body. She smiled indifferently and directly opened the text message on her phone.

Without waiting for others to urge, she reported a number, "Thirty-two million." ”

"Not bad. ”

"It's okay!"

"It is expected to break 100 million on the first day!"

A group of people were satisfied and nodded in approval.

Cui Ji and Gu Debai cheered together and hugged each other.

They don't expect "Source Code" to be as popular as "Urban Legends" and "Super Body", as long as they can make money, it will be a victory.

"Haha. ”

The two of them danced hand in hand, making the others chuckle.

But everyone, I also understand their feelings.

After all, Cui Ji is a rookie director, and Gu Debai is the first time to play the leading role in the movie, which can be described as the main pillar.

The success or failure of this movie at the box office is related to the future of the two people.

Concern is chaotic, and it is a matter of course.

"Stop howling. ”

Zhou Mu smiled: "You two have a treat, don't take the opportunity to escape the order." ”

"Please, please, must please. Gu Debai patted his chest and said proudly: "Tomorrow I will set up a flowing water banquet and invite the whole crew to dinner." ”

"That's what you said. ”

Zhou Mu immediately said slowly: "Sister Hong, give Junyue a call and book their supreme banquet, which is the 999 one." ”

"No problem. Yang Hong smiled and was dazzled.

Gu Debai knelt down directly, "Brother, I was wrong, don't." ”

The others burst into laughter.

Grand Hyatt Supreme Banquet, price tag 999.

The unit, of course, is not 10,000, but 1,000.

Still, it's sky-high. Anyway, only some large companies with good performance, when they hold the annual meeting, the big boss is willing to have a meal.

If it's just a meal, Goodbai gritted his teeth, and he could still afford it.

The problem is, the running water mat ......

The whole crew, hundreds of members, can definitely eat him down.

Zhou Mu's words made Gu Debai regain his composure, realizing that he was still a little star and couldn't float.

......

The next day, under the public relations of Qinghong Culture, major websites, newspapers, and public accounts were also very face-saving and swiped the screen of "Source Code".

"One man's movie!"

"Cherish life and be kind to everyone around you. ”

"A time game to look forward to!"

"8 minutes to create a world!"

“......”

One movie review after another, on social accounts, has been sought after by many people.

In addition to the company's own comments, many passers-by who have watched the movie have also praised and left their own testimonials.

"The story is very complete, and there are basically no obvious loopholes, but first you need to change your mind and give up some of the inherent thinking patterns......"

"Sure enough, it's a spin-off of "Super Body 2", but the bombing of the subway has been changed to a bombing train. Let the villain play the male lead, which is more dramatic at first. But ten minutes later, I found out that the story was ...... It's exciting!"

"Overall, this is a good film with a tight plot and exquisite content, which is worth scrutinizing. Judging from the timeline, it should be that before "Superbody 2", intelligent robots have not yet occupied the whole world, but virtual devices have been invented, and human civilization is in danger......"

"A good movie doesn't need bizarre big scenes, no big investment, no brilliant visual effects, it can conquer the audience purely with excellent creativity and imagination. ”

"A reasonable sci-fi film that surprises people from beginning to end. Coupled with all kinds of beautiful shots, it is like a superb craft, and any more carving is superfluous......"

！！！

Zhou Mu coughed dryly, and looked back at Yang Hong, "Sister Hong, the water army is almost enough, don't be too flooded." ”

Yang Hong walked over and glanced at the eye film review, and her expression was a little strange, "This water army...... Well, this film critic shouldn't be one of us. ”

"Are you sure?"

Zhou Mu blinked, "It's too much." ”

"What blow?"

Cui Ji was also reading the movie review, and turned around when he heard the sound and retorted, "This is really understandable, he is my bosom friend, the person who understands movies best...... When I have time to go back, I'm going to invite him to dinner. ”

Yang Hong operated the mouse and clicked on the film critic's ID. Under the other party's homepage, he looked through it for a moment, and then chuckled, "Are you sure?"

"It's just eating normally. ”

Cui Ji emphasized, "When the movie is released, I, as a director, will invite a fan to dinner, and it will not involve any PY transactions, right?"

"Hehe, definitely not. ”

Yang Hong clicked on a page and said happily: "It's just that I want to remind you that a few years ago, he made a few posts, scolding "Urban Legends" for being rubbish, and the screenwriter had a hole in his brain and was kicked by a donkey, so he made up this messy plot." ”

“......”

Cui Ji's face did not change, and after reading the comment article picked out by Yang Hong, he calmly closed the page, got up and drank a cup of tea, and changed his words: "You are right, this person's words are really not credible...... Blowing too much, I'm not afraid of embarrassment and disgusting!"

Ha ha.

Others laughed.

But Choi Ji is not embarrassed.

Even if this person's reputation is fake, maybe he is killing. But other people's appreciation can't be empty. If someone invited a group of film critics to "kill" him, then he would admit it.

I wish there were more such "killings", the better.

The company can also save a lot of money for the water army.

Besides, the instant box office in the morning gave him enough confidence.

The total box office of the movie has exceeded 50 million, and the attendance rate of large and small theaters is also more than 30%. If this trend continues, the box office will exceed 100 million on the first day, which is certain.

and other movies are drawn, at least 1.5 billion volumes.

At that time......

Hey.

He is a cutting-edge director in the industry that no one can ignore.

Even if someone is jealous, they will slander the success of this movie, it is not his credit, but the cooperation of Zhou Mu and Yu Nian.

Bah!

When "First Love" and "Crazy Perfume" were popular, some people vetoed Zhou Mu's ability and believed that it was Yu Nian's credit.

Zhou Mu didn't care, what did he care about.

Actions speak louder than words.

If you can't eat grapes, you can say that grapes are sour.

This is the barking of a defeated dog.

If you have the ability, you can also ask Zhou Mu and Yu Nian to help.

Anyway, Cui Ji was very calm, he felt that his mentality was detached, and the whole person was sublimated, and his realm was completely different from before.

In fact, there are good reviews, and naturally there are shameful comments.

Although others, deliberately hidden, not to show him. But Cui Ji is not stupid, and after a little search, he also noticed some comments full of malice.

"The film goes to the root, and the plot can't be established. ”

"It's pseudo-science fiction, and there is a memory interval in the human brain called source code, which can store about 8 minutes of memory fragments. ”

"There was an explosion on a train, and the entire train was killed. The memories of the victims were extracted from the brain fragments and used to reconstruct the events between the explosions. ”

"Inject this episode into a person's memory, and want the other party to find out the real culprit. ”

"Anyway, I absolutely can't understand it, isn't it just to restore the memory, restore the memory details over and over again to find the prisoner!!"

"Then how did it turn into a shuttle through time and space, such a tall thing as the parallel universe theory???"

"There's no hard science fiction at all, why can a memory interval of source code allow people to travel through parallel universes?

"The sci-fi elements are not self-consistent, and the logic of the characters' behaviors is hard!"

“...... Stiff uplift!"

"It's a retarded script. ”

"The director is SB!"

“......”

One bad review after another, Cui Ji read them all.

He was still sane and had no intention of arguing with these people. Because of the sporadic bad reviews, in the massive number of praises, there is no wave at all.

Zhou Mu, as a person who came over, also understood Cui Ji's mentality. Seeing the unpleasant remarks on his mobile phone screen, he immediately explained: "It's hard to reconcile the ......."

"I understand. ”

Cui Ji interrupted, "Even if it is a masterpiece recognized by the world, there are still a bunch of people who don't like it, all kinds of picky and insensitive. ”

"It's good to understand. ”

Zhou Mu smiled, got up and said: "All in all, the movie is definitely no problem, you have a good roadshow, strive to get a high box office, and slap those people in the face." ”

"What about you?"

Cui Ji blinked and said, "Don't you continue to help us stand on the platform?"

"This is your battlefield. Zhou Mu shook his head and said, "I'll go with me, and there will be nothing to do with you, the audience will look at me." ”

"Phew!"

Cui Ji rolled his eyes and told the truth.

Yang Hong's eyes moved, "Are you going to Paradise Island?"

"Hmm. ”

Zhou Mu nodded, and said with a smile: "Didn't you say that if you want to participate in the film festival and win awards, you have to go to various public relations, I will feel and experience it." ”

"Some awards are like that, some awards don't. ”

Yang Hong said slowly: "The reason why the Paradise Island Film Festival is internationally renowned is that it is well-known. The biggest reason is that it is relatively fair. As long as your film conforms to its purpose and positioning, it will generally be included in the list. ”

"But this year, perhaps, it was an exception. ”

Yang Hong came to a turning point, "Because the rotating chairman of this year's review meeting is Carl." ”

"Huh!"

Cui Ji was also slightly surprised, "Which Carl?"

"It's the Carl you know. ”

Yang Hong's tone was also a little complicated, "It's just Karl, the international director of the Western magician system." The number one box office in the world is his movie "Magic City". ”

“......”

The others were silent.

After a while, someone spoke: "Actually, "Galaxy Giant Ship 7" has the hope of breaking the box office record of "Magic City", but it's a pity that it ......"

Falling short.

Zhou Mu broke the silence, "What if he is the rotating chairman?"

"He's stronger. ”

Yang Hong explained, "In the past, the rotating chairman basically invited some directors who were more famous in literary films. However, this year is director Karl, and he himself is biased towards commercial films, so the wind direction of this year's film festival may change a little. ”

"That's a good thing. ”

Zhou Mu smiled, "At the very least, he shouldn't 'discriminate' against me." ”

The people understood what he meant.

If he is the boss of a literary film director, he may not be optimistic about his new movie because of his status as a commercial film, with colored glasses, and he is not optimistic about his new movie.

But Karl, there should be no bias in this regard, this is an advantage.

"That's right. ”

Yang Hong smiled, "Come on." ”

"Sweeping awards. ”

"Bring back a few more big pineapples. ”

The trophy of the Paradise Island Film Festival is in the shape of a golden pineapple.

It is said that because the founder loves pineapple, when designing the award, he referred to the shape of the ripe pineapple to create the trophy.

Of course, the truth of this anecdote is no longer verifiable. Anyway, what everyone likes is definitely not the shape of the trophy, but the glory it carries.

In the best wishes of all.

Zhou Mu and his party did not hide their whereabouts at all, and came to the airport in a mighty way, ready to board an international flight.

Media reporters are sensitive and have been waiting at the airport for a long time.

One person blocked the entrance, forcing Zhou Mu to slow down and accept their interview.

"Director Zhou, where are you going?"

"Director Zhou, are you going to Paradise Island this time to participate in the film festival?"

"Director Zhou, I heard that Director Yang Fan is already on Paradise Island, and he also threatened to teach you how to make literary films. ”

"Director Zhou, let's say a few words. ”

"Don't you want to respond to Director Yang Fan's remarks?"

"Or do you agree with him?"

“......”

Personally, the tone is relatively mild. The so-called out-of-the-box out-of-the-box and provocative slapping in the face is relatively rare.

After all, Zhou Mu's status is different, and some small tricks and small means are not used by ordinary reporters.

The sound of squeaking is still quite irritable.

Zhou Mu smiled helplessly, simply stopped, took a microphone, and said slowly in the expectant eyes of everyone next to him: "......"
