Chapter 432 "Infernal Affairs" is off to a good start
Regardless of positive or negative film reviews, praise or scolding, after the North American one-week box office list on May 9 came out, "Infernal Affairs" beat the 7.63 million of "Scream 4", which has been in theaters for 3 weeks, with a box office of 9.78 million US dollars, and squeezed into the top ten of the list.
Despite only being in the tenth place on the leaderboard.
On Monday the 16th, "Infernal Affairs" received another 19.05 million box office in the second week of its release in North America, and it won the third place in the box office list of the week in the North American film market before the summer season.
The newly released "Pirates of the Caribbean: Strange Tides" won $51.05 million at the box office in two days, ranking first in this week's box office charts;
And "Fast and Furious 5", which has been released for a week, won 32.9 million, ranking second this week.
On the 23rd, the third week of the release of "Infernal Affairs", the box office performance dropped slightly, and only won more than 10.6 million box office.
At the same time, Yu Jing's 30th birthday is approaching.
Last year, Peng Yichen didn't celebrate her 28th birthday because of making a movie, which became a regret in Peng Yichen's heart.
On his 30th birthday this year, he naturally wants to make up for it.
After all, 30 years old is a very important age for women.
Although Yu Jing still looks as young as a 20-year-old girl, after all, when she is 30 years old, there will always be a lot of changes in psychology and physiology, plus she is pregnant, so she is more psychologically sensitive.
Peng Yichen wants to give her more support and love at this time to help her overcome this hurdle.
But Yu Jing didn't want to make this birthday too big.
First, she and Peng Yichen are now in the Star Flag Country, although many of Peng Yichen's relatives are here, but her relatives are still in China.
Inviting them to a birthday event is a bit of a fuss.
Second, "Country Teacher" is about to be released, and Peng Yichen's work has been very busy recently, so she doesn't want Peng Yichen to work too hard.
According to her meaning, just ask a few friends who have just met in the Star Flag Country to have a small birthday party happily and quietly in the small villa they just bought in Beverly Hills.
Peng Yichen's original intention was to compensate Yu Jing, and of course he would not go against her wishes, so he invited all the friends he had met in the Star Flag Country in the past year, as well as the stage actors he had dated in high school.
In the newly bought villa, there was a small party attended by only a dozen people.
"I wish you a happy birthday, I wish you a happy birthday...... Peng Yichen stood in the middle of the field, looked at Yu Jing affectionately, and sang the song "Happy Birthday".
On the lawn of the spacious back garden of the villa, some balloons, decorations and other props to create a birthday atmosphere are simply arranged at this time.
A long dining table with some delicious food is at the disposal of guests.
On a large round table in the middle of the lawn, there was a huge birthday cake with 30 candles on it.
At this time, the table was surrounded by more than a dozen smiling guests, and Peng Yichen was singing a birthday song to Yu Jing, who was standing in front of the cake.
The food and props on site were all handled by a party service company.
Peng Yichen and Yu Jing completely became shopkeepers and enjoyed the joy of the birthday party with their friends.
Robinoff, Denzel, Joseph, Emma Roberts and others attended the party.
In addition, the newlyweds Huang Bo and Xiaoou, who stayed in the Star Flag Country to travel, also came.
Everyone laughed and waited for Peng Yichen to sing "Happy Birthday" to the last sentence, and then sang in unison: "Happy birthday to Yu Jing!"
"Thank you!" Yu Jing looked at Peng Yichen happily, then closed her eyes and silently made a wish in front of the candle.
After opening her eyes, she smiled and took a deep breath and blew out 30 candles in one go.
The guests applauded and cheered.
Yu Jing, as the host of the birthday party, picked up the cake knife and cut the cake.
Then, Huang Bo, who likes to be funny, picked up a piece of cake, carefully walked around behind Peng Yichen, and slapped him on the head.
Peng Yichen actually felt Huang Bo's actions a long time ago, but he didn't say anything, and when Huang Bo took the cake down, he directly pulled Denzel next to him, so that his big bald head was covered with cream.
As soon as this head opened, all the guests began to play tricks on each other.
A cake war inevitably began.
In the midst of laughter and laughter, everyone happily spent this birthday party.
After seeing off the guests, it was not too early.
Leaving the garden to the service company to clean up, Peng Yichen took Yu Jing back to the bedroom of the villa.
Yu Jing lay on Peng Yichen's arm, smiled and told her husband what was on her mind: "On my 25th birthday, do you know what wish I made?"
"What wish?" Peng Yichen gently pressed his ear to Jing's stomach, as if he could understand any movement.
Yu Jing was amused by him and pulled his head back to the pillow, "It's only been more than 3 months now, and you can't hear anything." ”
After saying that, she continued: "I made a wish at that time, hoping that God would give me someone who truly loves me and I love him. ”
Peng Yichen couldn't help but laugh and said, "It seems that your wish has indeed come true." ”
Yu Jing said with a happy and gentle face: "Chenzi, the past few years I have known you, I have lived the happiest and happiest life in my life. Ever since I met you, I seem to have found the meaning of my life. ”
"No, you've also found a baby, and she's in your belly right now. As he spoke, Peng Yichen once again put his ear on Yu Jing's stomach.
In fact, Peng Yichen didn't tell Yu Jing that as a master of national arts, he could actually hear the sound of the child's fetal heartbeat right now.
Yu Jing looked at Peng Yichen with a happy face, and couldn't help but kiss him gently.
