Chapter 61: The Hundred Days Banquet
"That girl is so nice, I like her. This is what Yan Ni said to Zhang Bufan when he left that day.
Well, that's good.
"Sister Yan Ni is so good, I like her a lot. This is what Tong Liya said to Zhang Bufan when she left that day.
Well, that's nice.
Hey no, the two of you have a good chat, you think it's good for each other, you just say it yourself, what do you say to me? Zhang Bufan is confused, a typical straight man's reaction.
Of course, this little problem did not have any impact on Zhang Bufan, in fact, he forgot about it the next day.
The books sent by Guan Hu have finally been read, to be precise, they are three books, and because they are instructional books, the number of words is not much, so even if Zhang Bufan has been in the group for two months in the middle, he still finished reading it before the arrival of October.
"Bullfighting" has been in theaters for a while, and the box office is really not the same as Guan Hu guessed, in the golden period of the first week, the box office will only pass 5 million, as it is, when it is released, the total box office is estimated to be more than 10 million, and it is sad to go through 20 million.
Guan Hu was quite happy about this, and when he talked to Zhang Bufan on the phone, he said that this was beyond his expectations, according to his expectations, this movie is estimated to be only about 10 million by the next release, and now it seems that it may be a few million more than he expected.
Guan Hu called him, mainly to share with him some things about participating in the Venice Film Festival, of course, this is a good thing, in fact, this grandson went to Venice and got a lot of benefits, and he came here to show off, this is still more than 10 years old, who is the younger one.
The Venice Film Festival and his party are the same as what Guan Hu and Zhang Bufan said at the beginning, that is, to gain knowledge, the film did not enter the main competition unit, but entered a unit called "Horizon Unit", this unit, to put it nicely, is to encourage film experimentation and innovation, in order to capture the future trend and trend of film, in fact, to put it bluntly, it is to attract overseas distributors.
However, it is such a unit, and "Bullfighting" did not win the award.
Although Guan Hu said that he had no hope of winning the award at the Venice Film Festival, he was still a little unhappy that he didn't win the award, and sprayed those judges with Zhang Bufan, "Those foreign grandsons just want to see our suffering and backward side, and they can't accept it if they get something different for them, just say that they are tolerant, I'm sorry!"
I didn't win the award, but the film was ...... No, it's a good movie, several big countries in Europe, just those in the N country coalition army, basically all sold, and old rice, these are the ones that Guan Hu expected to be able to sell before he went, in addition to some small countries have also bought, this is a surprise, although the country has a small population, so the purchase price can't go up, but it's not a small amount to add a piece, no way, people use euros and rice dollars.
Zhang Bufan also likes to hear about this, because his remuneration is linked to this, or it is related to Guan Hu's director's share, so the better the movie sells, the more he gets, and the happier he is.
..................
After September, it is the National Day immediately, and this year's National Day is more special, because it is the 60th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China, which is a major event, and the whole country attaches great importance to it, and all places are festive, and the most important thing is, of course, the big military parade in front of Tiananmen Square.
For this military parade, Chang'an Avenue was closed early, and the people who worked in the buildings on both sides of the street were also given a few days off earlier than others.
As a gentleman and a patriotic young man, Zhang Bufan is still very interested in the military parade.
For such a grand ceremony, Tiananmen Square must not be able to go, it is a place for people invited by the state to watch the ceremony, but Chang'an Avenue is so long, there is no problem in other places, of course, you also need to apply for qualifications, not everyone can go in.
Zhang Bufan applied for the qualifications early, and it was good luck to say that it coincided with the 60th National Day when they came up with a "main theme movie", which invisibly took advantage of some aspects - Guan Hu and him and Huang Bo Gaohu were all interested in the military parade, so they simply applied in the name of the crew, and sure enough, they were approved and assigned to a fairly good position.
With qualifications, of course, it is just waiting, and of course, there is one more thing before that.
Guan Hu's child has been born, son.
When he was born, it happened that Zhang Bufan was filming "Reunion" with the group in the magic capital, and he couldn't be there to celebrate, and Guan Hu also understood, so he made an appointment with the child for 100 days.
And this child's 100 days is just before the National Day, in the last days of September.
Guan Hu is still relatively low-key, and the child's 100-day banquet was not held with great fanfare, but he and his wife's two closest relatives, as well as the best friends on both sides, only sat at a total of 5 tables, and chose Taifeng Building, one of the eight buildings in the capital.
Zhang Bufan had never participated in the child's 100-day banquet, and after thinking about it, he didn't know what gift to bring, so he simply made a big cake and carried it with his own hands.
He really put a lot of thought into this cake, a three-layer fruit cake, and some animated images carved with chocolate on the top - gourd baby, no way, at his age, wasn't his childhood a big fuss in the sky, Nezha in the sea and a gourd baby.
I was very happy to carry it, and I was about to invite credit to Guan Hu, but when I got there, I realized that the children of 100 days couldn't eat cake at all......
Still, his cake worked.
The child's 100 days, celebration is still secondary, the main purpose is, of course, to catch the week, Guan Hu's family was not exempt from vulgarity, so they spread out a big blanket in the box, and put twenty small things on this head, and then the little guy was placed in the center of that end.
Let's catch the week, saying that it is to let the children choose by themselves, but in fact, parents, and even grandparents and grandparents, who are not selfish, all hope that the children will catch the things they put there, and a few people stand behind those things, clapping their hands and making grimaces to attract children.
The result may be that there are too many things, and the child is confused, and he sits there after crawling forward twice, and his little head is dangling for a while, looking at this and that, but he doesn't climb forward.
Guan Hu suddenly had an idea, quietly took the cake made by Zhang Bufan, lit a few candles and plugged them in, and then put them behind the lens of a camera he had posed.
I don't know if it was the gourd baby or the flickering light of the candle that attracted the child, the little one suddenly grinned and crawled over there.
Liang Jing was anxious, and immediately shouted, "Hey you cheat", and wanted to grab the cake, but it was still too late, and the little guy had already climbed onto the camera.
Guan Hu didn't fight with his wife anymore, and let Liang Jing snatch the cake, and he himself gave Zhang Bufan a thumbs up, "Remember you a lot!"
