Verse 30: Lost
"Director Du, why did you become a salesperson here? Is this an art of writing, or are you experiencing life?"
"Director Du, do you feel about "Chainsaw" completely defeating "Can't Forget" and winning the first place in the weekly box office list again?"
"Director Du, Yu Wenhui said that "Chainsaw" is a bad movie, and it is completely lucky to be able to achieve the current results, do you have anything to say to him?"
"Du Dao ......"
Duane stood behind the counter, wearing a small hat and a white and red apron, looking at several reporters outside the counter, as well as the curious appearance of customers, and shook his head helplessly.
"Saw" entered the second week of large-scale screenings last week, and "Can't Forget" finally began to really exert its strength after a three-day weekend premiere, and many fans of Er Dongsheng or Liu Qingyun watched coldly, wanting to see how "Can't Forget" taught this ignorant junior a lesson.
But the truth shocked everyone's jaws.
72.1 million, this is the second week of large-scale screening of "Chainsaw", the result set in 2,100 theaters, not only growing against the trend, but also continuing to beat the 68 million "Can't Forget", and according to the single-day box office decline trend of the three days of the weekend, it can be inferred that "Chainsaw" will continue to beat "Can't Forget" in the next week, and the box office gap is likely to widen.
At the same time, the total box office of "Chainsaw" has come to the figure of 130 million.
"Chainsaw" was classified as a horror film, and the most successful box office in this genre was "The Old Corpse of the Mountain Village" in 99, which set a box office of 146 million, and now as long as you can see it, it is only a matter of time before "Chainsaw Horror" breaks the record of "The Old Corpse of the Mountain Village".
So "Chainsaw" became completely popular: 200,000 costs, 650 times the cost of the box office, 273 times the return on terrorist investment, non-famous directors, non-famous actors, defeating big guys with small figures, are about to create zào history...... It had the elements of a fire, and the media immediately rushed up like wild dogs that smelled bones.
Ruixing Film and Television is on fire: Every day Ruixing Film and Television has to deal with a large number of reporters.
Zhang Jiayi is on fire: there are people squatting at the door of his house 24 hours a day.
Zhu Yuchen is on fire: he is just sitting at home and has already received three contracts for new films.
……
Duane's side is also not restless, yesterday a reporter came, and today there are five at once.
"I don't have anything to say. ”
Duane really has no experience in dealing with the media, so he has to say this.
The reporters suddenly came to the spirit: I'm not afraid that you won't say it, I'm afraid that you won't open your mouth!
"Director Du, what you don't want to say means acquiescing to Wenhui's opinion, do you think "Chainsaw" is a bad movie?"
"Director Du, do you disdain to express your opinion on defeating "Can't Forget"? In this case, do you think it's a natural thing to defeat "Can't Forget"?"
"Director Du, there are rumors that Director Er Dongsheng and you have known each other before, and once said that you are not making movies, did you shoot "Chainsaw" to prove to him that you have the strength to make movies? Now that you have successfully defeated him, do you have anything to say to him?"
……
Duane's face darkened.
He really underestimated the imagination and ability of these journalists to use the topic.
Fortunately, at this time, Dai Wencheng, the minister of the meat department, came over.
"Hello journalists,"
Dai Wencheng is a man in his forties, with a stocky figure and an honest appearance, and a warm smile.
The experienced reporters saw at a glance the murderous intent hidden under this man's honest smile.
"We have the right to interviews!"
Before Dai Wencheng could continue, a reporter had already called out.
Dai Wencheng said unhurriedly: "You do have the right to interview, but we also have the right not to accept interviews. Now that your actions have hindered our normal business and caused financial losses to our supermarket, if you don't leave, I have reason to think that you are picking quarrels and provoking trouble, and will ask the security guards to 'invite' you out. ”
The reporters looked at each other, but in the end they still didn't want to be "invited" out in an ugly way, so they all walked away.
Seeing the reporters leaving, Du An's breathed a sigh of relief, but before he could recover his senses, Dai Wencheng said to him: "Xiao Du, you come with me." Like smoke, you look at the counter first. ”
"Oh. ”
Xu Ruyan obediently answered, and stood in front of the counter instead of Du An, without glancing at Du An.
If she had been in fantasy before, she had no hope of anything now—Duane had finally begun to shine, so bright that she was desperate.
Instead of holding on to unrealistic hopes, it is better to give up early and distance yourself.
Following Dai Wencheng to the back of the staff passage, Du An saw Dai Wencheng stop in front of the cold storage door, so he also stopped, and then saw Dai Wencheng turn around and look at himself.
"Xiao Du, do you know what I came to you for today?"
Duane nodded silently.
Because of his relationship, he attracted so many reporters and affected the normal business of the supermarket, Dai Wencheng talked to him again, and it is very likely that he wanted to persuade himself to quit.
"It can't go on like this, after all, supermarkets are places to do business, and it's not a thing to attract so many reporters every day......"
Sure enough, Dai Wencheng said so.
After finishing speaking, Dai Wencheng sighed, suddenly laughed again, and said: "Actually, I was very optimistic about you when I recruited you in the first place, after all, you are a college student! And you are also smart and willing to endure hardships, I really want to train you...... It's a pity, it's a pity, you're destined to be the one to do great things, unlike us. ”
Du An didn't speak, and Dai Wencheng didn't speak, and after a while, he heard Dai Wencheng say, "Aren't you very confused?"
Du Anxin was shocked and looked up at Dai Wencheng.
That's right, he is indeed very confused now: he originally expected to get 20,000, but in the end, he was doing it, maybe it would become 50,000 or 60,000, and then he was doing it, and he was doing it, and he was getting more than 2 million now...... According to this momentum, when "Chainsaw" is fully discontinued, the dividends he can get are likely to reach more than three million.
More than 3 million ......
He never thought that he would be able to get more than three million in one go in a year after graduation, so he was confused.
He didn't know what he was going to do.
Do you continue to work here, or do you want to go to Shanghai to become a medicine agent? Or do you go back to your hometown and buy a house, buy a shop, and become a small boss yourself? Or do you want to start a business?......
Before that, his greatest wish was to work hard, save enough money to mortgage a house in the city, settle down the household registration, and become a decent city person, and it was best to send a little more money to his sister to improve the life of his sister's family, this was his greatest wish, but now this qiē is all out of order-his life goal can suddenly be achieved all at once! There is still a leftover, so he is confused and does not know what he should do.
"What should I do?"
Duane muttered.
He has lost his way forward.
Dai Wencheng stretched out his hand and put it on Du An's shoulder, looked at him, shook his head solemnly, and said, "I don't know, I only know that you have to go your own way, and no one can decide for you." ”
After speaking, Dai Wencheng patted him on the shoulder and withdrew his hand.
"You go first today, and tomorrow you will go through the resignation procedures. ”
After saying that, Dai Wencheng left.
Duane stood in place, looking in the direction Dai Wencheng left, his eyes out of focus.
What should he do?
Duane was lost at the first crossroads of his life.
