Chapter 296: Horns Have Angles and Horns Don't Distinguish (II)
"Zhang Shuxiao, Happy New Year! I wish you a billion box office in the new year, and be crowned the actor again!"
"Good, good, auspicious, auspicious. β
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Zhang Zhonghui is in Coconut City, where the climate is comfortable and the scenery is pleasant, which can not only avoid the cold in winter, but also facilitate family reunions for the holiday.
That morning, he accepted the childish New Year's greetings from his agent's son with a smile, gave the little guy a thick red envelope, and watched him happily trot out of the door.
"This is what you taught, right? What billion box office can he understand, what actor is it?" Zhang Zhonghui wore a short shirt and looked at his agent.
"I just said it casually, and the child remembered it, which means that your fortune this year is still okay. The agent laughed.
Zhang Zhonghui shook his head, but he thought of Gan Jing in his heart - the little boyβ little girl Gan Xuesiβ Gan Xuesi's father, so logically, he asked about other things: "The dinner that Producer Liu contacted there is the seventh day of the first month, right?"
"Yes, several of the judges have been contacted. The agent said very easily, "On the sixth day of the new year, we will fly back to the capital first." β
Zhang Zhonghui bowed slightly, and his mood was quite happy.
At the right time, the daylight is just right and the sea breeze is gentle.
Zhang Zhonghui's eyes turned on the sea in the distance, and suddenly said, "Is there a Ganjing movie released today?"
"Yes, it's "Charlotte's Troubles" with a bunch of newcomers. The agent said simply, "The scheduling rate is good, but it's a pity that the schedule is a pity." β
Zhang Zhonghui's eyes moved to the agent's face and didn't speak, but the agent knew the habit, and then provided a point of view and said: "The Spring Festival file itself has a small number of moviegoers, and the characteristics of this schedule are the kind of seven-day holiday with a particularly high proportion, and when everyone starts working, the number of moviegoers will drop dramatically." β
"Really?" Zhang Zhonghui asked rhetorically, "Well, he probably didn't think too much about this lineup." What do you think of this festival?"
The agent had already thought about similar questions, smiled, and replied: "I think Gan Jing is a smart person, let's talk about this "Charlotte Troubles" first, he released a single box office work after "Infernal Affairs" got 980 million box office, and although the schedule selected is small, it is not very competitive, and when the time comes, a box office of two or three hundred million can immediately be said to be a small cost and a big box office, and the name is very good." β
"As for the film festival, he should be quite satisfied with being nominated for the best actor, after all, it is rare for two nominations for Best Actor to pop up in a movie, if it weren't for his acting skills, with you in front, he wouldn't be able to get the nomination. The agent smiled, "However, with you in front, it will stop at the nomination, if he is smart enough, he should immediately switch to Best Director or Best Picture." β
Zhang Zhonghui frowned and said, "He doesn't seem to have any movement in this regard." β
"Yes, so, Gan Jing is a smart person who is not smart enough. The agent shook his head slightly, "It's not to blame him, it's mainly because he has no experience in the Blu-ray culture in Beijing, and the way he deals with it is not good enough." I guess there are really not many people, and they are all busy with the release of new movies. β
Zhang Zhonghui got up from his seat, he took two steps and opened the glass door, the sea breeze poured in, and the hairstyle was messed up in an instant.
"Tomorrow morning, you remind me to call Gan Jing, first, to congratulate him on the box office, and second, to chat with him about his company's affairs. Zhang Zhonghui turned back to the agent and said.
"What do you talk about other people's companies, you might as well pay more attention to Kangrun. The agent was a little helpless, and Zhang Zhonghui was warm-hearted.
"Gan Jing is a really talented actor, I think he can go to a big company, and he will definitely have a lot of resources. Zhang Zhonghui thoughtfully, "Of course, it's not about Kangrun." If this continues, I'm afraid that he will fail his own talent and waste time. β
The agent pouted, but still nodded, although he always felt too enthusiastic, but it was this enthusiasm that brought the best popularity in the industry over the years.
The discussion about Gan Jing has come to an end, Zhang Zhonghui needs to pay attention to a lot of things, since "Infernal Affairs" won the National Day file championship, Kangrun Company's attitude has changed, but the two sides still left a gap, this relationship needs to be repaired, and it also needs to be prepared early.
Zhang Zhonghui is seriously thinking about one thing, if he wins the best actor of the film festival this time, then there will be a lot more room for operation to leave Kangrun.
Time is long, and the day in Coconut City flies quickly.
In the evening, Zhang Zhonghui discussed the two official activities and the film contract arrangement after March with his agent and team, and there are too many producers who are willing to invite the actor to join after the explosion of "Infernal Affairs".
It wasn't until the early hours of the morning that Zhang Zhonghui fell asleep with all kinds of worries.
Maybe there are solutions to all kinds of things, maybe the prospects of the film festival awards are optimistic, maybe it's the coconut city here to raise people, Zhang Zhonghui slept so deeply this night, that he was a little angry when he was woken up by a heavy knock on the door.
"What's wrong?" Zhang Zhonghui opened the door, his tone slightly stiff.
He turned and took two steps into the room, opened the curtains, and saw a red sun slowly rising over the horizon, well, a very good sign.
Zhang Zhonghui controlled his emotions and continued to ask: "What's so urgent? Did you announce the name of the actor in advance?"
"Yesterday's Spring Festival box office came out. The agent's face was complicated, and the mobile phone screen in his right hand spontaneously glowed with a miserable white light, and he took a long breath, "165 million." β
The agent's inhalation was so hard that his voice sounded a little indistinct.
Zhang Zhonghui suspected that he had just woken up and had a bit of a hearing problem, so he confirmed: "The total box office on the first day of the Spring Festival?"
"Charlotte's Troubles", the first day of junior high school, the single-day box office champion, 165 million. The agent exhaled the breath just now and said very clearly, "Gan Jing's Spring Festival stalls refreshed a first-day box office figure on the first day, 165 million. β
Zhang Zhonghui was stunned, he now suspected that he hadn't woken up at all, he was in a dream.
Three seconds passed, the agent's shocked and eager face remained unchanged in front of him, Zhang Zhonghui reacted, he reached out and took the mobile phone, and saw the bright numbers on it.
- "Charlotte's Troubles", the box office on the first day was 165 million.
Zhang Zhonghui looked at the numbers again and again to make sure that the wrong unit was not used in the back.
165 million?
He handed the phone back to the agent, his eyes were a little wandering, and there was only one number in his heart that kept circling.
In the last National Day schedule, "Happy Treasure" started the road to fall with 43.5 million on the first day, and "Infernal Affairs" started the road of counterattack with 12.5 million on the first day, so, what kind of road is the beginning of 165 million?
"Give him a call to congratulate. β
After a while, Zhang Zhonghui said in a somewhat dry voice.
After another moment, the agent held the phone and said sluggishly: "It's turned off, his agent's number is on the phone, and his own private number is turned off." β
"And what is he doing now?"
Zhang Zhonghui muttered to himself in a complicated mood, and walked aimlessly to the floor-to-ceiling window, the morning sun outside had broken free from the horizon and jumped up, shining on the water with a golden light.
He quietly watched the scene in front of him, and suddenly there was infinite emotion in his heart - Jin Jiao rose with the wind one day, and it was suspected that it was a dragon with a horn.
