Smelling the aroma of pork rib soup coming from the kitchen, Zhang Yu's whole body was a little floating, and after walking around the supermarket with Ning Xin a few times, there were enough ingredients in his hands to eat for a week.

After returning home, Ning Xin began to prepare a sumptuous lunch, while Zhang Yu was sitting in the living room watching the program on TV, and by the way, he learned about the progress of the Olympic Games and the box office situation of "The Return of the Great Sage" on the Internet.

The box office of "Red Cliff" has exceeded 250 million, but the performance has been weak, there is a big distance from the legendary 300 million mark, but the return of the Great Sage has refreshed the box office to 350 million, which is only 10 million years away from the 360 million created by "Titanic" ten years ago.

This is a situation that Zhang Yu did not expect at all, although "The Return of the Great Sage" was the most popular domestic animation in the first five years, but it still cannot be compared with live-action movies.

Maybe this is the protagonist's aura, who let himself open the plug-in, God is also helping himself, Zhang Yu can't figure it out, but no one will think that he has less money.

In the face of a box office gap of only 10 million, the media reports on "The Return of the Great Sage" are hot again, although they cannot be compared with the news of the Olympic Games, but they are second only to the Olympics to become the second place on the Baidu search list, and once again set off a frenzy of ticket swiping, four brushes, five brushes, and even some people have swiped more than a dozen times.

On August 13, 2008, the Chinese gymnastics team defeated the United States team and won the first women's team gold medal in the history of Chinese gymnastics.

On August 15, the Chinese weightlifting team won 8 gold medals, achieving the best results since the establishment of the team.

In the early morning of August 16, the box office results of the previous day of major theaters were counted, and the box office of "The Return of the Great Sage" reversed again, winning five million, with a total box office of 363 million, surpassing "Titanic" and becoming the first place in the box office in Chinese mainland, creating a new record.

As a result, the Internet boiled again, the number of comments on Douban suddenly surged, and netizens who discussed this phenomenal animation late at night, Zhang Yu was also woken up by the phone call of Tian Peng and several people who had been waiting in the company.

Tian Peng's voice was very excited and loud, Zhang Yu was yelled at by him because of the fatigue caused by staying up late with Ning Xin until the early hours of the morning, "The box office of "The Return of the Great Sage" surpassed "Titanic", and we became the creators of new movie records. ”

Getting up from the bed, Zhang Yu looked at the starry sky outside, "You guys are waiting in the company, I'll go buy wine right away, let's celebrate." ”

The box office record of 360 million was broken, and the name of "The Return of the Great Sage" is deeply engraved on the pillar of Chinese animation and film history, which is worth celebrating.

Zhang Yu heard the carnival voice coming from the company, "No need, we have already prepared the wine, you can just come over." ”

Zhang Yu turned on the light in the room, "Wait, I'll go over right away and talk about something by the way." Hanging up the phone, Zhang Yu put his clothes on his body and took the car keys from the living room.

The lights in the Jiutian culture are bright, all the employees are there, and even Tian Dong, the little guy, is excited to stand beside his mother and witness this moment.

"You're finally here, President. The sharp-eyed Ye Zhong found Zhang Yu standing at the door, grabbed her shoulders and dragged him to the middle of the group, and then ran onto the stage, "Everyone be quiet, now we ask our top leader, General Manager Zhang Yu and Zhang Da to say a word." The sound came from the microphone and then down the loudspeaker into the ears of everyone who was partying.

Zhang Yu was pushed onto the stage by a group of people, looking at these young faces in the audience, Zhang Yu was proud for a while, that is, they accompanied themselves to create a miracle, an animation miracle, a movie miracle "First of all, I want to thank you for your countless days of hard work, the box office of 360 million, is your every night of overtime, is your experience of working in the company, so, the celebration of the return of the great sage, we are going to hold it in the most luxurious five-star hotel, today is just an appetizer." ”

The applause rang out like thunder, but Tian Dong suddenly ran up from below, pulling Zhang Yu's pair, "Uncle Zhang Yu, the puppy you promised me hasn't been given to me yet!"

Rubbing the little guy's head, Zhang Yu remembered that he had promised the little guy to give him a dog as a playmate, "I promise you, I'll go and pick up the cutest puppy for you in the next few days, is it okay?"

Blamed by his mother in his arms, Tian Dong grinned, "Okay, let's pull the hook." ”

Zhang Yu stretched out his hand and pulled Tian Dong's small fingers together, "Hang yourself on the hook, you can't change it for a thousand years." ”

Everyone looked at Tian Dong and laughed, Zhang Yu waved his hand and smiled mysteriously, "The following is the most important, I promised to give everyone a bonus before, guess how much?"

A crisp male voice rang out, "Five thousand." ”

Then a girl's voice was voiced, right next to the boy, "Why are you so stupid, say so little, in case it really only gives five thousand, I will kill you." ”

This is a couple of men and women in the company who have feelings because of their work relationship, and they don't have an office romance for nine days, as long as they like it, they can be together.

For a while, the company was full of discussions about bonuses, and Zhang Yu heard countless answers, "If you want me to say, it must be 20,000." "I said thirty thousand. "If you want me to say, it should be thirty-six. ”

"It seems that no one dares to guess!" Zhang Yu sighed softly, but was amplified by the microphone, overshadowing everyone's voices, "The bonus should be decided after I have a meeting with Mr. Tian." ”

Zhang Yu sold the guanzi, and immediately booed, "Cut." ”

"It seems that everyone is very dissatisfied!" Zhang Yu smiled, "Then I announce that I will take out 10 million to give you a bonus, and the specific amount of money, everyone will count it with their own fingers." ”

No one is going to settle accounts with their fingers anymore, they only know a lot of "long live, long live Mr. Zhang." "Zhang Yu was set up.

Zhang Yu was not alone this time, because Tian Peng, Ye Zhong and Wang Lun were also thrown up by the excited employees.

After drinking the celebration wine, Zhang Yu finally got together with Tian Peng, who had a messy hairstyle, "What's the matter with you?"

Zhang Yu looked at Tian Peng's finger and smiled inexplicably, "I accidentally bumped into it." "There is no news about the perpetrator of the car accident, and Zhang Yu has no clue.

Wang Lun and Ye Zhong touched the cup lightly, "Then you have to be careful, you are a golden body, the pillar of our nine heavens." ”

Tian Peng looked at Zhang Yu's figure and smiled slightly, "Don't compare Zhang Yu with yourself, he goes to exercise every day, and it's not a problem to have eight-pack abs...... You said you wanted to talk to us about something, what did you want to talk about?"

Zhang Yu smiled, if he didn't deal with it properly, he wouldn't have been able to see you, "I'm going to spread the news of the big movie with the topic of "The Return of the Great Sage?" ”

"Big movies, although you said before that the copyright has been registered, but we don't seem to have agreed on which company will develop the big movie. ”

Zhang Yu smiled cheaply, "Of course, the fertilizer does not flow into the fields of outsiders, and we will produce it ourselves, I originally proposed the establishment of Jiutian Cultural Animation Investment Company, one of which is for the live-action version of "The Return of the Great Sage", compared with Hollywood, the special effects of domestic movies can be described as scum, so I intend to make efforts in this regard. ”

Movie special effects have always been an important part of the movie, through superb computer technology to create a visual feast, huge monsters, strange birds flying in the air, suddenly exploding planes, collapsed ground, are all made through special effects.

Hollywood's movie special effects have always been the benchmark in the film industry, compared with Hollywood, the characteristics of domestic films can be said to be still in their infancy, and the five-cent special effects are the majority.

Future movies, especially magic and science fiction movies, are fighting for the level of special effects, and they have already lost to the United States at the starting line, Zhang Yu didn't want to continue to lose, and finally decided to build his own special effects team.

"The investment in live-action movies is expected to exceed 200 million, so we can't do it with our own ability alone, which is the main reason why I brought in Brother Huang and Hengdan Group in the first place, and Hengdan Group has strong connections in the film and television industry, whether it is actors or funds. ”

Thinking of Jiutian Cultural Investment, which has been established for half a month, Zhang Yu proposed, "I have a proposal that Brother Wang serve as the general manager of Jiutian Cultural Investment, what do you think?"

Ye Zhong looked at Wang Lun and touched his shoulder, "Of course it's no problem, congratulations, Mr. Wang, you've been promoted." ”

Zhang Yu raised his glass and said solemnly, "Respect for us in the future." ”

The three of Tianpeng touched their cups together, "Respect us in the future." They didn't know why Zhang Yu suddenly said this, but it was very meaningful.

Wine is not drunk, everyone is drunk, Zhang Yu did not drink much, but he already felt the drunkenness in his heart, when the carnival ended, many employees were already dyed with blush on their cheeks and talking nonsense.

Walking out of the office building, Zhang Yu habitually pressed down the floors of the parking lot, but remembered that he had drunk, and at this time he would definitely be stopped by the traffic police on the street when he drove out, which became a typical example of not obeying traffic rules during the Olympic Games, so he stopped a taxi and reported the name of the community.

The driver was a fan, and Zhang Yu sat in the car, and the master kept complaining about the poor performance of the national team in yesterday's match against Brazil: "Hey, when will the national team stop having such stinky feet." ”

Looking at the master's flushed face with excitement, Zhang Yu said, "Unless the sow goes up the tree, otherwise, don't count on them." ”

No matter how time has changed, the identity of the national football porter has not changed.
