Chapter Twenty-Four: "The Mermaid" is here

"Why are you so ignorant? The state has a task entrusted to you, and you should complete it well!"

Shen's father's hatred is not made of steel, in his opinion, this is a good opportunity for Shen Lin to transform from a director to a politician.

"Give other directors a chance, besides, I'm always so obedient, the media should talk about me!"

"What can they say about you? If you don't attract envy, you're a mediocre talent! Do you want to be a director for the rest of your life?"

"Why not?"

Shen Lin glanced at his father a little curiously, he didn't quite understand what Shen's father meant.

The profession of director is more about experience, so age is not a problem, many directors are over fifty years old, and they get better and better, such as Woody Allen, since "Deconstructing Harry", his works have become more and more peaceful, more and more acceptable, and more and more mastery, and Woody Allen, who filmed "Midnight in Paris", is already seventy-two years old.

Father Shen looked at Shen Lin, and stopped talking, but Shen Lin instantly understood!

Father Shen is very traditional old Beijing, in his opinion, no, it should be said that in the eyes of most old-school Chinese, the actor is the play, belongs to the Goulan Washe, the lower ninth class, then the director and the actor are mixed together, where can they be noble?

“… Dad, how can you have this prejudice? Your daughter-in-law is also an actress, and you have always looked down on her as a co-author?"

"Then how can you take a look, Liying is what I and your mother like, we have already found out, the little girl is innocent and clean..."

Father Shen glared at Shen Lin very dissatisfied.

“… You're really done, you actually went behind my back to investigate people!"

"Nonsense, I'm just a son like you, what if someone cheats me?"

The father and son chatted happily, Zhao's father withdrew from the mahjong table, and after seeing Shen's father, he directly challenged: "Brother, come to two games of chess?"

"Okay!"

Shen Lin ran to the study with a lot of eyes and took out the chess board, and the two old men instantly set up the formation of the two armies.

"Dad, I'm going out for a walk..."

"Go ahead!"

Shen Lin smiled, put on a coat, pushed the door and walked out.

In the alley, you can see small pot friends running around everywhere, all kinds of people are holding long fireworks poles in their hands, and some naughtily throwing firecrackers, pranking successfully, and making a smug laugh...

For children, the Chinese New Year may be the thing they are most looking forward to.

Looking up at the very bright night sky decorated with fireworks, although it was still a little gray, but after all, he could see the fireworks, and Shen Lin's somewhat depressed mood instantly improved.

Since the lifting of the smoking ban in Beijing, the flavor of the New Year has indeed become much stronger.

I don't know what Shen's father thinks, Tong Liya was actually mentioned during the Chinese New Year, and the question asked is the 'truth' that Shen Lin has always been concerned about.

I took a pack of Zhongnanhai from the small supermarket at the mouth of the alley, lit it, took a deep breath, and the smoke swirled around my lungs before spitting out.

took out his mobile phone and flipped to Tong Liya's contact interface, Shen Lin was ruthless and deleted the number directly!

There was a faint regret, but it was also the best way to deal with it, at least in his opinion.

Withdrawing his phone, Shen Lin stood in place, smoking a cigarette while staring at the fireworks that were constantly blooming in the distance.

At this moment, a familiar voice sounded from behind: "I never knew that the night sky in the capital could be so beautiful!"

Shen Lin smiled slightly, and answered, "You like this?"

You don't have to look back to know that it's your daughter-in-law.

"It's okay, I like beautiful things anyway. ”

Li Ying cautiously approached Shen Lin and pressed her face against his back.

"Then I'll buy a 15-minute fireworks show tomorrow and show it to you alone!"

“… Do you think I'm a fool? Fifteen minutes, how much does it cost?"

"Hehe, in fact, I used to think that people should be like fireworks when they live, even if it is only brilliant for a second, it is enough..."

Shen Lin took off his coat and put it on Ying Bao's shoulders.

Ying Bao took advantage of the situation to penetrate the crook of Shen Lin's arm, raised his head and asked him, "What now?"

"Now, I care more about the gloom after the moment, although it is ordinary, it is the real life!"

……

'No one asks about the poor in the downtown area, but the rich have distant relatives in the mountains!'

This statement is the truth.

Every Chinese New Year, there are always a bunch of relatives that Shen Lin has never seen come to his home, some are simple interpersonal contacts, some want to entrust Shen's father to do things, and more want to use the fame of relatives to let their son or daughter break into the entertainment industry and the like.

These days, we all know that artists are easy to earn!

Therefore, Shen Lin is very wise, and he will never go home casually five days before the Chinese New Year.

I'm really scared.

But this Spring Festival, he is not idle, without him, "Mermaid" is officially on the first day of the New Year!

We all know that the Spring Festival file is already a schedule that major film and television companies must compete for.

Even if he knows that he is likely to become cannon fodder, there are still "Year Beast Wars" and "Evaporation Balance Ocean" rushing to be released, hoping to get a piece of the pie.

On February 8, 2016, "The Mermaid" was released, grabbing a box office of 277 million with 33.7% of the film schedule, directly creating a box office record for the first day of domestic films, which is not counted, and then it set a series of box office records with unstoppable momentum.

What is the fastest to break the box office of 200 million, 300 million, 500 million and the like, and the cumulative box office in the first week reached 1.8 billion!

As of February 16th, the movie "Mermaid", which was released for nine days, continued its magical journey, with a single-day box office exceeding 100 million yuan for nine consecutive days, and a magical performance with a box office of more than 200 million for 7 consecutive days, in addition, the cumulative box office of "Mermaid" has reached 2.1 billion!

Major box office forecasting agencies have raised their box office forecasts for "The Mermaid", pushing the original 2.5 billion to 3.5 billion!

There was an uproar from the outside world, and I originally thought that the box office of "Monster Hunt" had touched the bottom line of Chinese films, but I didn't expect that after less than half a year, "Mermaid" once again pushed the box office to the ceiling in a record-breaking way.

The entire mainland film industry is like a chicken blood, and the Spring Festival stalls are hot, with a box office of 3.6 billion in 7 days, which is equivalent to about 540 million US dollars, directly creating the world's highest single-week box office.

The original single-week box office record holder was when "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" was released last year, and there was a frenzied enthusiasm for movie-watching in North America, setting a box office of $529.6 million in a single week, and the record was already broken by the mainland film industry in just one month.

Huayu movies have ushered in a golden age!

Many netizens pay attention to the box office of "Mermaid". They are more concerned about how much Zhou Xingchi made from it, and then the news came that Zhou Xingchi had sold out "Mermaid" at a guaranteed price of 1.8 billion before the release of "Mermaid", that is, from the contract point of view, no matter how much "Mermaid" jumped, it was impossible to give Xing Ye more profits.

The companies that really took advantage of the buyout distribution were also dug up, Guangguang Media and Zhao Liying Studio!
