Chapter 283: Sticks, Devils

The box office of a movie is the same, often the box office on the first day can be estimated to the first week, and the box office of the first week can be deduced to approximate the total box office. For example, most of Hollywood's movie box office is often the box office of the first week multiplied by a few thirds.

China is different from Hollywood, and the number of films released has a large room for maneuver. But basically, the results of the first day also have a very important reference value. And the filmmaker also has the same attitude, if the results are good, they will increase publicity while the iron is hot; If it has already been set on the street, it will often be extinguished

After the drum stops, investing in publicity expenses is a loss of money and making money, and it is often a waste.

And because of the domestic networking, ticket sales, and statistics, it is not timely, so after the premiere of the movie, there will be a report on the box office on the first day the next day, which is generally the news released by the filmmaker, and it is often estimated with a lot of moisture, such as extrapolating the national box office from a theater and a theater line

and generally exaggerate the publicity.

Li Yan understands this, and he is not in a hurry to find out how the box office was on the first day yesterday. As for whether it needs to be publicized or recognized, let Qiao Pan plan it. I believe that after he has declined a few films, he will still study more box office data. It's just that the plan is not as good as the change, now China

The film market in the mainland has undergone earth-shaking changes. From Chibi to Do Not Disturb, to the great cause of the founding of the People's Republic of China, to the Tangshan earthquake, and then to let the bullets fly", "broke the highest box office record almost once in half a year.

Although he planned to do so, in the morning, he still told Yu Rong that he was not going to the company, and there was no need to sit in the office at this time.

Yu Rong didn't think much about it, whether he was going to participate in the publicity planning or going to meet Yu Xiaodi, she didn't want to ask.

In fact, Li Yan didn't find a lot of opportunities to meet Yu Xiaodi, nor did he go to see Li Jie or Wen Qianyi.

He just needs a chance to be alone with Yueyao and get along with the reason for work.

While eating breakfast, Li Yan told Yueyao this information with his eyes, and after Yu Rong went to work, they also returned upstairs.

Li Yan said Zheng Tian's request last night, and also took it out, and he didn't read the contents of it.

After listening to his retelling, Yue Yao agreed and said, "You did the right thing, if it's such a task." Just collect 100 million US dollars, and he really won't be able to do any business with him in the future. In terms of his identity as an underworld bleach, there will be many things in the future that he wants to do and hinders his identity

Inconvenient to do. His circle of friends should have something similar. Maybe we can help him with that

She first raised and then suppressed, and when she said this, the conversation changed: "Let him inject capital into the remuneration, operate in Hong Kong, and you share the shares." Your idea for a collaboration is also good. It saves us the consumption of money laundering, and can also directly invest income. However, in the end, he used to have a black identity,

Even if it is bleached, in the eyes of politicians, it is still viewed with colored eyes. Will it have a bad impact on you? ”

Li Yan spread out his hand: "What concubines are there?" Haha, aren't we killers even more disgraceful than those of the underworld? .

Yue Yao shook her head and whispered, "I mean the Yu family." ”

Li Yan frowned slightly, the one who officially needed his temporary earning ability was Chen Mingying. The sudden and rapid acquisition of a large amount of overseas venture capital has already aroused her suspicions. Although He Bin will handle it well, he will not let the tracing go overseas. If you cooperate with Zheng Tian next, it will be plain

Getting a large amount of unconditional capital injection may make Chen Mingying suspect that this overseas venture capital is also Zheng Tian.

Yu Hong, on the other hand, is the current mayor of the city, not just a politician, but a promising politician. The consciousness will definitely not be low, if the couple suspects that Li Yan is helping Zheng Tian launder money or something, then they may investigate him.

"You have a point. Anyway, it's still early, I'll contact him separately, maybe in a different way

Yue Yao saw that he had already listened to the reminder and knew that he would handle it well, so she didn't say much. "Let's see what kind of person and what kind of organization this is. $12.5 million is already a very high honorarium. This is also a good opportunity to let "them, train the troops." ”

At this point, she coincided with Li Yan, and felt that she didn't need Li Yan to take action personally, just to let "them." A good target to participate in the exercise.

"The Koreans are involved in the grievances of Nian Yufei's mother, Li Yan is inconvenient to talk about in detail, just talked about the details of the transaction. Therefore, after Yueyao beat and saw the information collected inside, she understood who the target was. "So young, Li Yan smiled: "What young, this is them."

Twenty-year-old photos that you can get. Now it's definitely becoming a standard stick. ”

Yue Yao, "the housekeeper Korean is called a stick" What is that family demeaning to call Chinese?

"I don't know, I'm not familiar with Koreans."

"Why do you call it a Korean stick? I've known this name for a long time, but I don't know how it came about

"This, it seems that there are many theories, I don't know which one is true. It is said that in the Tohoku it is called a mallet. It is also known as the stick fresh peninsula in the tip of the mouth is called high taste, and the Sichuan ginseng from the Korean is also known as the Korean stick.

It has slowly become synonymous with North Koreans. ”

Historically, Korea has never been an independent country, and since the Han Dynasty, the Korean Peninsula has always been a vassal state of China, and the name of the capital is Seoul. By the end of the Qing Dynasty, the Qing government was too busy to help and take care of this small country. The Japanese took the opportunity to occupy the Korean Peninsula. With this as a stepping stone for invading China, he began a forty-year colonial rule over South Korea.

After Japan occupied the Korean Peninsula, many Koreans joined the police force of the Japanese colonial government, but the Japanese had a narrow island mentality. There was no trust in the Koreans, and although these Koreans were loyal to the Japanese, the Japanese still persisted in them

Be wary. The South Korean police are not armed, and when these South Koreans maintain social order in the streets, they each carry a big stick in the streets, because they have no weapons. The stick has become a symbol of the South Korean police.

At that time, whenever there were Koreans who opposed Japan, these South Korean policemen armed with big sticks would beat these rebels with big sticks in their hands. It is said that these South Korean policemen are even more vicious than the Japanese in their actions against their compatriots. They chased their peers everywhere with sticks in their hands

cells were beaten.

A Western journalist witnessed this scene while interviewing Xiao on the Korean Peninsula and took a famous photograph that was published in Europe. The photo of a South Korean police officer chasing and beating his compatriots with sticks in hand shook the world. Hence the barbarism of the world against the South Korean police at that time. Very disdainful of opponents to take big

The police of the stick are called Goryeo sticks. That is, "barbarians with sticks." It was a term for the South Korean police at the time. As the saying goes, it's a cop who beats someone with a stick.

Koreans have become barbarians in the eyes of Westerners. Ran in North Korea. It is known as the Goryeo nation. So at that time, Westerners called Koreans Goryeo sticks. And spread it to the world. Goryeo stick is an insulting term used by Westerners for Koreans.

Even when Japan occupied the three eastern provinces, the Japanese were not enough to control it, and many Koreans were called to control the Chinese, but the Japanese were not worried about giving the Koreans guns, so they gave them a big stick. The North Koreans used this big stick to beat the Chinese, very ruthlessly, and participated in the Nanjing Massacre

There are quite a few Joseon dynasties in the army

"It's called Korean sticks because of Korean ginseng. Yueyao's eyes widened.

Lee Yan shrugged his shoulders and said that Goryeo stick and Korean stick were originally meant to refer to the traditional trousers worn by North Koreans. However, after the union of Japan and South Korea, it became a contemptuous term for Koreans by the Japanese. Of course, I've heard a more interesting phrase "What?".

"There are stories and legends, in fact, the stick, this title, is still given by Emperor Qianlong!" Yueyao was speechless, Emperor Qianlong gave someone to call it Goryeo stick?

"The stick is also the mallet, which is the dialect of Beijing, that is, the meaning of stupidity and ignorance, in the words of the common people, it is half-hanging. According to legend, one year, the king of Korea came to Beijing to meet Qianlong. Qianlong was very happy and invited him to a banquet in the Forbidden City, during which someone brought a basin of hand washing water to eliminate it

Poisonous and fragrant, this pot of water is filled with a little petals and salt.

The king of Joseon did not know or know, and thought it was soup. I took a few sips of it, and then praised it for being delicious. Qianlong laughed when he saw it, and said to the king of Joseon, "You are really a good mallet." The king of North Korea didn't understand, thinking that the emperor had appointed him a big official, so he hurriedly thanked him. Since then, the North Koreans have been called sticks

Son. ”

Yueyao listened to his nonsense while reading the information, and was amused by his story.

"What about the devil? Why do we call Japanese Japanese devils? ”

"Well," Li Yan thought for a while: "This, I only remember the story that is not sure whether it is true or false."

Since the Ming Dynasty, the coastal area has been invaded by Japanese pirates and ronins, and at that time everyone called the Japanese pirates Fuso "Koukou". Before the First Sino-Japanese Naval Battle, Li Hongzhang sent an envoy to Japan, and the negotiations were concluded. The two sides held a joint press conference, and the Japanese not only wanted to show off their force in front of the world, but also wanted to show off their strength

Culturally defiled the Qing country.

After the reporters gathered, the Japanese side suddenly raised an unrelated question: We in Japan have the upper link and the lower link, so we have to ask for someone from the birthplace of Chinese characters. After speaking, the couplet written on the white silk was revealed: riding a strange horse, Zhang Longbow, Qin Se Pipa, Eight Kings, side by side on the head, single Ge

Fight alone!

The gist of it is that my Japanese soldiers are strong and strong, and they are stationed in strange horses, and they are longbows; The text is not simple, light "king." There are eight of them, and they all have great talents. Show it to Wende, Chen Zhi to martial arts, Japan "single fight alone." It can set foot in China. They can all be broken down

Combination. The overall meaning is very domineering.

However, Li Hongzhang was later called the Bismarck of the East, and he also had two brushes, and he played on the spot and wrote down the couplet with a large pen: the Yanren Committee, the dragon clothes, and the charm of the concave reluctant

This is also the word used to combine and split, and the meaning of the connection becomes: 偻 is 偻寇. came to steal the Qing Dynasty dragon clothes, but it was just a group of ghostly devils who knelt beside them, and we could capture them together

Yue Yao smiled and shook her head: "I don't believe it." There are too many versions of the story of the Eight Kings of Qin Se Pipa and the Four Little Ghosts. I remember one talking about the Eight-Nation Alliance, and they used "Qin Se Pipa, Eight Great Kings, and Wang Wang on the Top" to preach that after the invasion of the Qing Dynasty by the Eight Kingdoms, they were powerful in China.

was rightened by the "charm and reluctance, the four ghosts and ghosts committed the side, and the sarcastic ghosts from all over the world came to the middle four※

"I've seen this story too, but it's just a satirical and even a little helpless." Get down on your knees and grab it with your hands together. Only then can I have the courage and momentum."

In fact, in ancient China, there was a "devil." Swearing. As for scolding foreigners, it is because the Chinese have always regarded themselves as the superior country of the Celestial Empire, and the countries established by ethnic minorities are all called fanbang and barbarian. Even the people of the Central Plains have derogatory names for the frontiers, such as calling the south

Fang people are Nanban.

These are still the contempt of the nationality and the degree of civilization, but for the West and the like, it is completely different from the race. It's called a devil because of its weird appearance.,It means a person who looks like a ghost.。 For example, the Rakshasa ghost in Russia; Zheng Chenggong drove away the Dutch, who invaded Taiwan

Red-haired ghost; By the end of the Qing Dynasty, the Celestial Empire, which missed the Age of Discovery, was invaded by Westerners, and more and more foreigners came, so they hated to call "foreign devils are up to now, and Hong Kong people are also used to calling foreigners "ghosts" and blacks are "".

Later, when the Japanese army invaded China, it was originally a strip of water, and it could only be regarded as a barbarian Japanese. They are also hated by everyone and demoted to "devils", but they are the same as us, not red-haired, blonde-haired, blue-eyed, blue-eyed, or white or black, called "foreign devils." If it is not suitable, it will be called

"Jap. Finish.

While chatting with Li Yan about the allusions to sticks and devils, Yueyao was also carefully checking the information Zheng Tian and the others had collected. Although it is few and not comprehensive, over the years, combined with the clues of Old Man Mu's memories of his early years, there are some clues.

After just a cursory look, she said solemnly: "This task seems to be a little more difficult than I imagined." This man has been involved in the killer world for nearly twenty years, which is much longer than our history, and he can grow into a powerful organization." <

br>

Li Yan is very optimistic: "This thing still needs luck, opportunity and talent of members, and it is not proportional to time." Seven or eight years ago, their organization was barely at the level of the organization. I believe that there are not many people who really reach the level of killers in it. Could it be that all these years, they

can also transform into a hurricane."

His words made Yueyao want to laugh a little, "Why do you say this" sound a little old-fashioned? .

"I'm almost thirty! Isn't there a qualification to be old-fashioned? Li Yan pouted and smiled.

Indeed, not only his age, but more importantly, his qualifications, make him fully qualified to guide the country.

"But don't forget," they were. It's been less than seven years. Your organization starts from scratch. It's all mixed to the level, and this still doesn't count your level in Ran.

You don't allow people to progress to the level in seven years on the basis of the level they already had in the year? Or even level?.

Li Yan smiled and said nothing, if this person's organization was really at a level of level, he wouldn't have never even heard of his name. As long as there are individual killers in it who have reached the level, Nian Yufei will not be assassinated many times and will be safe.

Looking at his appearance, Yue Yao shook her head and reminded: "Don't forget what you just said, this person and that Zheng Tian have enmity, forming a killer organization, making money is secondary, and revenge is fundamental." He can endure it for ten or twenty years, and can't he keep a low profile? ”

Li Yan pondered for a while, that Korean can make friends with Nian Yufei's mother's family, I believe that before the decline, there is still a big foundation, and it is estimated that it will catch up with the years of South Korea's economic take-off. After the decline, he couldn't marry Nian Yufei's mother to take advantage of the situation, which already made him resentful

Hates to take revenge, and he himself has no ability to restore the prosperity of the family, which shows that it is a relatively large family business.

Later, it was completely defeated, and it was obviously unrealistic to want to earn a family business through the shady killer industry. And this person has already gone to the extreme, since he can't make a lot of money through the killer to restore the family business, then he may really focus on revenge and defeat Nian Yufei later

Mother, the money may be enough to earn enough for the people below to be satisfied. From his perseverance in chasing and killing Nian Yufei over the years, you can see his obsession.

"Okay. Do not underestimate the enemy and increase their danger level. But we can still handle it, right? Yue Yao said with a smile: "You will definitely be able to handle it." If it were just them, "I think they would be happy to have a lot of work all at once in the New Year." What about the few? Do not interrupt him

Our practice? ”

Li Yan knew that she was talking about Feng Ruthless, Shi Jianen and Liu Bang, they were the strongest in the organization, and they all reached the standard of level killers, and they also let them participate in the training of level tasks last time. If this Korean killer group is still at the level level, or only at the level level, it is not needed

It's not a big problem for them to make a move. But before the specific situation such as strength and number of people is not clear, it is still more certain to let a few of them participate. It's okay if the members are injured, but once they are damaged, the losses are quite large.

"Let's arrange for someone to enter South Korea first, and collect as much information as possible. When it comes to hands-on. Arrange a few of them too. This is not an interruption, the actual battle with the killer of the peer is the best scratch practice! ”

Yue Yao agreed to such an arrangement, no matter how hard she practiced, it was just to exercise her own ability, or only by killing people in battle could she stimulate her feelings to reach the peak. Of course Li Yan can't take them. 's practice, just like what he experienced back then, he stimulated his practice by killing all his partners.
