After the release of "The Happiness Line Behind the Dark Clouds", it did not show a state of explosion as soon as it was released like the previous "True Lies" and "Inception", and swept the box office crazily, in fact, the box office on the premiere day was not high, only more than $3 million at the box office, and in the next two days, although the box office showed an increase, the magnitude was not very large.

The next day, 3.56 million.

On the third day, 3.9 million.

You must know that Lionsgate's previous public relations were quite in place, and there were 2,800 theaters in the United States at the same time, which cannot be said to be bad, but compared with the expected data, there is obviously a big gap.

On the fourth day, the box office score was 4.9 million, an increase of 25%, but the boss of Lionsgate is still worried, generally speaking, the release of new films, the most important thing for the final box office results is the results of the previous week, although "The Happiness Line Behind the Dark Clouds" is a low-cost romance film, but with pre-publicity and public relations, Lionsgate has really smashed tens of millions, if the box office has been going on according to this curve, when will the cost be recovered?

Moreover, if the box office results have been so sluggish, when the time comes, those theaters will definitely reduce the number of films scheduled for "The Happiness Line Behind the Dark Clouds", and it will be even more difficult to make a profit, or even recover the cost.

In this regard, Song Zheng is not in a hurry, he made this drama movie, he never thought that he could get a frightening box office result like "Inception", from the beginning, he was going for this year's Oscars.

In general, so far, Song Zheng is still very satisfied, although the box office is average, but those film critics have a surprisingly high evaluation of "The Happiness Line Behind the Dark Clouds".

Although there are some discordant voices mixed in with each other, it is only a very rare opinion of people with colored glasses.

On the fifth day of the release of "The Happiness Line Behind the Dark Clouds", Song Zheng had to end the publicity early and return to China, just received the news that his master Mr. Zhang Wenshun was seriously ill.

The old man was actually diagnosed with cancer at the end of last year, and despite Song Zheng's reminder, some things still couldn't be avoided.

In his previous life, the old man left at the beginning of 09, and now compared with his previous life, the old man's lifespan has only been extended by more than two months.

"How's it going!?"

Song Zheng returned to China, but he didn't have time to go home, so he went directly to the hospital, although he was apprenticed at the beginning, and there were mostly jokes, but since his head hit the ground, this relationship is settled.

Of course, according to the rules of the cross talk door, Song Zheng can only be regarded as a disciple of the old man's mouth alliance, there is no arrangement, and there is no gathering of people in the cross talk door to witness together, and the cross talk genealogy does not recognize Song Zheng's generation, but Song Zheng himself admits it.

When he arrived at the hospital, the old man had just been pushed into the intensive care unit, looking at the haggard Guo Ban Master, Song Zheng asked eagerly, although he knew that some things could not be avoided, but he still had some extravagant hopes in his heart, hoping that the old man would be able to turn evil into good fortune.

Guo Banzhu glanced up at Song Zheng, moved the corners of his mouth, and laughed dryly, his eyes were red, and he had obviously just cried: "Alas, old man~~~~~~ what do you say!"

Before he finished speaking, Guo's voice was already choked.

Song Zheng can see that Guo's feelings for the old man are sincere, although in his previous life, many people criticized Guo's character on the Internet, and also used those runaway apprentices to splash sewage on Lao Guo, true and false, Song Zheng didn't know how to tell the difference, but at least Lao Guo's feelings for the old man Zhang Wenshun were true.

If it weren't for the help of Old Man Zhang, it would have been impossible to gain a firm foothold in Yanjing, let alone make Deyun Society as it is today.

It can be said that the old man is the noble man of Guo's class master, Lao Guo is a person who values feelings, whoever is good to him, he is good to whom, the old man gave him a heart, and he really respects the old man as his own parent.

At least my master saw that the cross talk he liked all his life was alive again!"

The old man Zhang Wenshun has no hobbies in his life, but he is obsessed with cross talk, and when he saw that cross talk was in decline, the old man was disheartened and stayed away from this circle and started a business.

Maybe he didn't expect that in his twilight years, he would be able to return to the stage and perform his favorite cross talk for the audience, but he met Guo Banzhu and met this cross talk geek, which led to the rejuvenating scene of cross talk today.

As she was talking, the door of the ward opened, and the old man's daughter walked out, with red eyes and constant sobbing, looking up and around, when she saw Song Zheng, she couldn't hide her surprise.

Song Zheng learned the news that the old man was seriously ill, and it was Zhang Deyan who told Lin Xinru, and Lin Xinru informed Song Zheng.

"Degang!Xiao Song, my dad let you in!"

Hearing this, the head of the Guo class cheered up, glanced at Song Zheng, and walked in together.

On the hospital bed, the old man no longer had the spirit on the stage, and the whole person was lying there, and the quilt could hardly see the curvature of the bulge.

A few years ago, Song Zheng also came to visit the old man in the hospital, at that time, the old man's spirit was fine, and he could still joke with Song Zheng, but now, the person is there, and Song Zheng almost doesn't feel angry.

The two walked to the hospital bed, the old man was awake, and looked at the two of them slightly sideways: "Degang!

It was a simple four words, but it seemed that all the old man's strength had been exhausted.

Song Zheng hurriedly said: "Master, don't talk about it when you're tired, rest well, I'm still waiting for you to tell me about work!"

The old man smiled and shook his head gently: "I can't say anything, if I don't say a few words, I'm afraid I won't have a chance, Degang!"

Guo Ban Master hurriedly stepped forward and held the old man's hand: "Uncle Shi, you say, I'll listen!"

The old man looked at Guo Banzhu emotionally, and sighed: "Degang, I have to thank you, I thought the cross talk was over, but fortunately, there are still you, let our art come alive again, I am worthy of the ancestor master, I see my master when I die, master, I also have something to say, I have always said cross talk until death!"

Guo Banzhu couldn't control it anymore, lowered his head and cried: "Uncle Shi, if you want to say thank you, I have to thank you, when our garden was in a recession, you took out the continuation of your life, I have to thank you, you have merit to cross talk!"

"I don't have merit, it's you who have merit, Degang, I can still talk cross talk on stage for a few years when I'm dying, I'm content!" The old man also shed muddy tears from the corners of his eyes, "Degang! talk about our cross talk, if you can't fight, you can't fight, it's down-to-earth, we are eating, don't be too hard, it's not good!"

If you want to talk about the understanding of Guo Banzhu, I am afraid that there is no one in this world who knows better than the old man Zhang Wenshun, who is capable and talented, but he is sharp, such a character is a character, and if he can't break out, 10,000 people can pounce on him and bite him to death.

After a few more words, the old man asked Guo Banzhu to go out first, and he and Song Zheng were left in the ward.

"Zhengzi!"

"Master!"

The old man smiled: "I know you are not good at this, I am very happy to accept you as an apprentice! ”

Although the old man is smiling, his smile is full of bitterness, he is not only an apprentice of Song Zheng, in addition to Song Zheng, there are also Xu Deliang and Zhang Dewu, but it is a pity that Zhang Dewu is the same as Song Zheng, he is not much interested in cross talk, and the reason why he stayed in Deyun Club to talk about cross talk is completely because he admires the old man's personality.

As for Xu Deliang, the fate of master and apprentice has been completely broken with the departure of Xu Deliang and another old artist from Deyun Club in the middle of last year.

For the old man, Deyun Club is like his own child, Xu Deliang ran away, and he broke the old man's heart.

"I regret it, I should have pulled you hard, and I taught you a few paragraphs. ”

Song Zheng squatted in front of the old man's bed and blamed himself: "Master, they all complain about me, I'm too busy, you take care of it, when you get better, I will definitely follow you to learn hard!"

The old man already knew his physical condition, and he was very open to Song Zheng's comforting words: "No chance, Zhengzi! cross talk, the master can't teach you anymore, just give you a few words, what you pay attention to is a down-to-earth person, you are very good, you are internationally famous, but you still do your own thing in a down-to-earth manner, this is very good, really good, our father and son have a shallow fate, if only we had known each other a few years earlier!

Song Zheng listened, but also a burst of sadness, to be honest, his feelings for the old man Zhang Wenshun can only be regarded as average, although there is a relationship between master and apprentice, but in terms of intimacy, it is not as good as him and Guo Baochang, but today, the old man is leaving, his heart is still reluctant, and when the New Year is celebrated in the future, he will never have the opportunity to kneel on the ground and kowtow, and shout the master happily.

"Master, don't say it!"

"That's not possible, I've said it all my life, and if I don't say it again, I really don't have a chance!" the old man said, slowly raising his hand, and Song Zheng quickly grabbed the old man's hand when he saw this.

"Zhengzi! Master has never asked for anyone in his life, but today I ask you for one thing!"

Song Zheng hurriedly said: "Master, you say, I will agree to whatever you say!"

The old man glanced in the direction of the door, and said: "Degang, this person, everything is good, but there is a little, his temper is too stubborn, and he is easy to break, he is smooth sailing now, and he can't see anything, but I know that there are more people in the cross talk door who are angry with him, once he makes a mistake, those people can eat him alive, master beg, if he encounters difficulties, you can help him, it is not easy for Deyun Society to get to this day, if it collapses one day, I can't close my eyes when I die!

In the end, the old man's breath was already very weak, but he looked at Song Zheng with bright eyes, Song Zheng did not hesitate at all, and nodded vigorously.

"Master!"
