Chapter 10 Sit back and watch the situation and wait for tomorrow
1976 was an extraordinary year. For Huaxia can be described as a catastrophe, in January, a great man in Huaxia has passed away, just into the first week of July, the second great man also left, Wang Jie knows, in September Taizu will also drive the crane west. At the end of July, the Tang City in Bohai Bay of China will usher in a catastrophe, Wang Jie has no way to change anything, although he is not the heart of the Virgin, but in conscience he still made some preparations. But please have peace of mind, the boy thought helplessly.
In fact, at the beginning of last year, the boy had secretly instructed the old butler Jim to anonymously deliver more than ten letters predicting the earthquake in Tang City to the Xiangjiang Xinhua News Agency every other month. At first, the relevant personnel of the Xinhua News Agency were very contemptuous, and only thought it was a spoof farce, but as the prophecy in each anonymous letter came true, the Xiangjiang Xinhua News Agency began to pay attention to it, and forwarded the letter to Zhou Weiren in China, who dragged his sick body to see Taizu, and then Tang City began a disaster prevention drill, and extended it to all provinces and cities across the country. Huaxia also began to order the Xiangjiang Xinhua News Agency to secretly investigate the source of the letter, so in June, Wang Jie had asked the old Jim to stop the task of transmitting the letter.
Throughout July, Wang Jie hid in the castle manor of William's Farm and lived a simple life, and he didn't even care about the girls' cultivation and study, but just let the old housekeeper supervise it, and it wasn't until the last day of July that he ended his retreat, and "Thirteen Taibao Horizontal Exercises" also successfully entered the second layer of meat refining realm.
At this time, Wang Jie's whole person looked very resolute, and his height suddenly jumped by more than ten centimeters, looking like a big boy who was already eleven or twelve years old, and his face was not only more handsome, but also fairer. The boy would no longer look immature in front of a few older girls.
The first thing Wang Chengguan did was to check the newspapers and periodicals mailed from Xiangjiang, and many newspapers such as Ta Kung Pao and Ming Pao all published the following news on the front page: At 3:42:53.8 on July 28, an earthquake with a magnitude of 7.8 on the Richter scale (7.5 magnitude of a moment earthquake) occurred in Tang City, Bohai Bay, China (118.2 degrees east longitude, 39.6 degrees north latitude), with an epicenter intensity of 11 degrees, an epicenter depth of 12 kilometers, and an earthquake lasting about 23 seconds. The earthquake killed 2,769 people and seriously injured 14,000.
Wang Jie instantly felt that the Lingtai was clear, and a thick cloud was dispelled, although the earthquake in Tang City still caused huge losses, but it was much better than the previous life. The boy didn't know how much of a storm his little wings had set off, and he only learned about this tragic historical event because of the film "Tangshi Earthquake" filmed by Feng Dacang in the future stored in the supercomputer, and he didn't know that on August 16, 22, and 23, 1976, Songpan and Pingwu in SC Province had a magnitude of 7.2, 6.7, A strong earthquake of magnitude 7.2 was caused by the fact that the whole country of China has carried out prevention drills for natural disasters such as earthquakes, thus avoiding many tragedies.
Wang Jie inquired about the recent release of "Star Wars" again, and Old Jim danced with his hands, "Master William, it's unimaginable, just over a month after its release, the North American box office has reached more than 170 million, and the world adds up to almost 300 million." ”
The box office of "Star Wars" exploded throughout the United States, and the scathing reviews of film critics when it was first released have disappeared from major media outlets.
"Grandpa Jim, what's going on over there?" the boy asked after waiting for the old butler to be quiet.
Old Jim counted it and replied: "The box office of "Seven Days of Wrongness", which was first released in early May, was 10.2 million Hong Kong dollars, and the film was screened in DreamWorks theaters for 34 consecutive days; "Serpentine Trickster", which was followed in June, ended on July 1, with a box office of 6.2 million Hong Kong dollars; "Funny Times" is about to be painted, and the news faxed today says that the box office has reached more than 7 million; on August 1, "Ghost Horse Zhiduo Xing" is ready to be released, and Mecca, Huang Baiming, Shi Tian, and Cheng Long invite you to attend the premiere at midnight. ”
"They're drunkards, and they don't want to drink, there's something that can't be solved. ”
Wang Jie found that Old Jim was completely indifferent to Xiangjiang's box office figures. Indeed, comparing "Star Wars" is completely trivial, but Wang Jie knows what the box office of these movies represents in Xiangjiang at this time.
"Then Master William, are you here?" asked old Jim.
"Tell them that I will go to Xiangjiang in mid-August. ”
In the following days, Wang Jie began to write or "plagiarize" and lead the girls to practice. The boy asked the old butler Jim to hire a group of workers to build a warehouse covering an area of about 800 square meters next to the farm castle manor as a new practice place, and the room layout in the manor villa was still too small. In addition, the boy also took out a few drawings of cold weapons and instructed the old housekeeper to start ordering.
On August 14, "Ghost Horse Wisdom and Multiple Stars" was being screened, and Wang Jie once again set foot on the land of Xiangjiang.
In the past three months, the madness of DreamWorks has already touched the nerves of many people, and the four movies released have not only driven the entire DreamWorks, but also the entire cultural industry in Xiangjiang. A lot of people are gearing up to get a piece of the pie in the film industry. The four scripts given by Wang Jie are all spanning the era, and they represent the beginning of a period of great development of Xiangjiang films, and the boy's unintentional actions have advanced the prosperity of Xiangjiang films by five years.
