The headlines of the major media the next day were yesterday's Miss Hong Kong beauty pageant finals, in addition to a large report on the top three beauties, there are also a lot of articles about Zhong Chuhong, there are those who feel sorry for her, and there are more grievances for her, thinking that with her sexy and charming, she is completely worthy of the top three, and now outside the top three, they have questioned the fairness of the selection.

Fang Jianhui was secretly happy in his heart, last night's final made Zhong Chuhong's "faith" value explode, and overnight, it increased by more than 200,000, and the current total has reached 230,000. And it's going to continue to grow as the media continues to cover it. 230,000 "faith" means that 230,000 people can recognize her, call her by name, or know that she is the fourth place in the pageant. At this time, the total population of Xiangjiang was only 5 million, so you can imagine the influence of Miss Xiangjiang's beauty pageant.

More than 200,000 beliefs, it looks like a lot, if it can be used to add attributes, there are only about 20 points, Fang Jianhui looks at it, and no matter what it is added to, it will not bring about a qualitative improvement. In fact, the attribute he most thought of adding was "physique", which was currently 140, as long as it was added to 200, he could "really" realize his dream of three good beds. The reason why it is said to be "real" is because although Zhong Chuhong agrees to sleep together sometimes, she can only eat one every night, and the other can only watch, he is very dissatisfied with this situation, and has been looking forward to improving it as soon as possible. But that needs to add 60 points, that is, 600,000 faith, now there are only more than 200,000, and it is useless to add them all. simply continue to stay, and when the "Happy Ghost" movie is released and the three girls become a new generation of teen idols, it should be enough.

On July 12, while the beauty pageant was still warm, Dafugui Cinema and Angel Pictures invited the main media in Xiangjiang to hold a press conference. The press conference was hosted by Wu Diming, Fang Jianhui did not attend, not that he was unwilling to contact the media, but he was young, handsome and handsome, and inherited his father's family business. At the press conference, Wu Diming and Chen Xunqi jointly announced three pieces of news on behalf of the two companies:

First, Angel Pictures officially signed a contract with Miss Zhong Chuhong, and will soon launch a movie with her as the heroine.

The second is that the Dafugui Cinema Line will be renamed the "Angel" Cinema Line from now on, and the leading Dafugui Cinema will be renamed the Angel Cinema. And the original cinema package system was cancelled, and it was divided by the cinema chain and the producer.

The third is the opening work of Angel Cinemas, the modern youth idol film "Happy Ghost" will be officially released in the summer of July 19, welcome everyone to cheer at the time.

The three pieces of news broke out one by one, the beauty pageant ended only two days ago, the heat is still there, although Zhong Chuhong did not enter the top three, but her charming style and witty performance on the spot are impressive, and many people in the industry think she has great potential. Now that he was signed by Angel Pictures and said that he wanted her to be the protagonist to make a movie, it is still very topical.

If they can really persevere, the Shaw Brothers Cinemas may not be affected, but Golden Harvest Cinemas can only improve, because Golden Harvest, like Angels, has insufficient production and needs independent film companies to come and screen every year, which may completely change the future appearance of the Heung Kong film industry. It can be expected that this matter will be the focus of attention in the industry in the next period of time.

Although there are no big-name stars in the last "Happy Ghost" movie, what the hell is a "modern youth idol film"? You must know that the current big screen is full of either costume martial arts films, or flesh-revealing Fengyue films, or funny films, and this is really the first time that this "youth idol" film has appeared. Judging from the solemn announcement of the Angel Cinema Line, and as the main full-line co-screening of the summer file, the head-to-head showdown of Shaw Brothers Chu Yuan's "Peerless Double Pride" and Golden Harvest Xu Ke's "Butterfly Change" shows that he has considerable confidence in this film.

After the press conference, Fang Jianhui struck while the iron was hot, invested a lot of money, and laid out the layout in the major media, cut out the trailer and broadcast it on the TV station in turn. There is no way, the current Fang Jianhui has not been able to prove his talent, and the leading actors are even more unknown, except for advertising bombardment, there is no better way. For a time, "Happy Ghost" appeared overwhelmingly in front of the citizens of Xiangjiang.

After watching the finished film, although they think the movie is good, they also think that there will be a box office of three or four million at most, and the cost of the movie itself is less than 600,000, but it is thrown out of millions to promote, which is a bit of putting the cart before the horse, don't even get the capital back then.

Fortunately, Fang Jianhui had a series of previous successes, which made the doubts less resolute. "Nobody" and "Finger Soldier" were both box office hits, and the theaters were often full, a sight rarely seen in theaters before. The currently released "Salted Fish Rebirth" also has a high attendance rate, and it should be able to sell more than 3 million when the next painting is made.

To this end, Fang Jianhui organized a test screening for some middle school students, and the enthusiastic reactions of the students when they watched it, as well as the feedback from the investigation after watching it, finally convinced Wu Diming and them.

In fact, taking a step back, even if this movie really can't make money, as long as the advertising money invested attracts more audiences, it means that Fang Jianhui can gain more "faith" through the three girls, which is cost-effective for him. Of course, Fang Jianhui only needs to understand this reason in his heart, and it is impossible for him to explain it to others.

After a week of advertising bombardment, on July 19, the first day of the summer vacation, "Happy Ghost" was released. At the same time, Shaw Brothers director Chu Yuan's "Peerless Double Pride" and Xu Ke's "Butterfly Change" were also released at the same time in Shaw Brothers Cinemas and Golden Harvest Cinemas respectively.

In the first two days, the attendance rate was good, and the box office was close to one million, but Wu Diming knew that this attendance rate was smashed by advertising money, and the next thing is the point.

On the third day, the box office did not fall but rose, and then there was a long queue of people to buy tickets, and a few days later, there were even several incidents of conflicts between ticket buyers at the entrance of the Angel Cinema.

At this point, the big hit of "Happy Ghost" is a foregone conclusion, this day Fang Jianhui decided to listen to the audience's reaction after watching it, so he came to the door of the Angel Theater with Zhong Chuhong, both of them were armed with sunglasses and masks, there was no way, they were both burdened by fame. Originally, Fang Jianhui would not be like this, but with the box office of "Happy Ghost" becoming popular all the way, and there is even the possibility of breaking the record of Xiangjiang film history, Fang Jianhui, as the director of this film, has also been completely turned over by various media, and his photos frequently appear in various newspapers and magazines, not low-key.

When a group of spectators came out after the show, two staff members randomly asked the audience about their feelings.

"Lin Xiaohua is so beautiful!" "Lin Qingqing is so sexy!" "Happy ghosts are so funny!" "Yan Ruyu is so cute!"

The most heard is the happy ghost played by Huang Baiming, and then Lin Xiaohua (Lan Jieying) and Lin Qingqing (Bai Annie), the two are on par, and Yan Ruyu (Zhu Baoyi) is less. It's not that Zhu Baoyi isn't beautiful enough, it's more that there are not as many scenes as the previous two, and the role positioning is not the same.

"Xiaohua's boyfriend is so handsome, Xiaohua has really earned it!"

To Fang Jianhui's surprise, many female students mentioned his cameo Lin Xiaohua's boyfriend in their impressions, praised him, and their eyes sparkled when they talked about him.

'Fainting to death, with so few scenes, you can be noticed, being handsome is taking advantage, it seems that being an actor is also a good choice for me. Fang Jianhui thought secretly.

These days, Fang Jianhui has watched the "faith" value of the three girls rise like a plane every day, and he is in a good mood. Now, Bai Annie has contributed more than 260,000 "faith" points, officially exceeding the genuine girlfriend Zhong Chuhong, Zhong Chuhong's faith value has stabilized after crossing 250,000, after all, the popularity of the beauty pageant has subsided. The two of them add up, the "faith" is worth 510,000, which is very close to the 600,000 needed to increase the "physique" to 200, and there are also two meat that can be eaten at any time, Lan Jieying has accumulated a little more "faith" than Bai Annie, reaching 280,000, and Zhu Baoyi Although it is less, there are 120,000. When you add it together, it will be 910,000.

With so many "faith" points in hand, Fang Jianhui decided to start using it.

First, consume 10,000 "Faith" and increase "Constitution" to 141. With a "ding" sound in the brain, the system prompted: "Level up, current level: 2, increase the number of girlfriends by 1 and lovers by 2." Acquired Skill: Small Summoning. ”

"Small Summoning: Consume 100,000 Faith to get the information about the actors needed to play a specific role in the movie. Worried that Fang Jianhui didn't quite understand, he further explained: "Sometimes, when you are preparing a film, you may struggle to find a suitable actor to play a role. At this point, if you use this skill, you'll get information about the actor. ”

Fang Jianhui waited for the system to finish prompting, and then checked his own information: (partial)

Protagonist: Fang Jianhui

Level: 2

Faith: 500,000

Experience: 100,000/1,000,000

Girlfriend: 1/2

Lover: 1/3

Constitution: 141

Upgraded to one level, the experience required for the subordinate has changed from 10,000 to 100,000, there is an extra girlfriend quota and two lovers, and I have learned a skill that is not very useful.

Now it's okay, the extra number of lovers can just be used to collect Lan Jieying and Zhu Baoyi. After Fang Jianhui was happy, he continued to increase his "physique", and after adding 9 points, there was another "ding", and the system prompted: "Level increase, current level: 3, increase the number of girlfriends by 1 and lovers by 2." Unlock the Marketplace Item: Valentine's Ticket. ”

"Valentine Coupon: After use, you can increase the number of Valentines by one, and when the total number of Valentines reaches 5 times the number of Girlfriends, you cannot continue to purchase. Worth 1,000,000 faith. Available in the Marketplace. ”

The current state becomes:

Protagonist: Fang Jianhui

Level: 3

Faith: 410,000

Experience: 100,000/1,000,000

Girlfriend: 1/3

Lover: 1/5

Constitution: 150

Upgraded by one level, the experience required by the subordinate has changed from 100,000 to 1 million, and there is also an additional girlfriend quota and two lovers. In addition to the movie script in the mall, there is really an extra prop of "Valentine's Coupon".

Fang Jianhui asked the system: "Is this the experience required for each level to be 10 times?"

The system replied: "Yes, the next level requires 10 times more experience than the previous level." Each level increases the number of girlfriends and two lovers. ”

Fang Jianhui calculated silently in his heart, 1 million at level 4, 10 million at level 5, 100 million at level 6, and 1 billion at level 7. It is estimated that it is an impossible task to collect 1 billion "faith" values, and 100 million is very difficult. Based on the final goal of 100 million, after reaching 100 million, I can be promoted to level 6, I can have 6 girlfriends, and 12 lovers. If necessary, you can increase the number of Valentines to 30 by purchasing a "Valentine Ticket".

Enough, enough is enough, Fang Jianhui said in his heart, people must learn to be content. If you really want to find so much, although you have enjoyed all the blessings, but with so many women, the family must be in a mess.

Fang Jianhui continued to increase, until his remaining 410,000 beliefs were all consumed, and after his experience became "510,000/1 million", his "physique" also became 191.

"It's not 200 yet, but you only need to eat one. Fang Jianhui smiled lewdly: "Xiaoying is careless, my brother is coming to eat you!"
