322. Box office dark horse

PS: Thank you Zhao Shangjun for your generous reward.

Thank you 00 Cai Cai, hsthuang, take out your love three classmates voted for the precious monthly ticket, thank you very much, next week is rare to have a recommendation, although it is in the professional channel, but I work hard to save up the manuscript, and strive to break out every two or three days.

Niu Geng's unintentional words spit out in anger deeply hit Li Chenggong's heart, and at this moment, in Li Chenggong's eyes, Niu Geng is no longer the kind of rural guy he looks down on, but a person with a simple, kind nature, worthy of his appreciation and even admiration.

At this point, it is also the biggest turning point in the whole film, Li Chenggong, who has been the leader before, has also changed his identity at this moment, and his flashy heart by society has also been slowly changed in Niu Geng's words and deeds.

With a smile, Li Chenggong retracted his gaze, looked at the rain outside, and said, "For your words, I will take you to live in a hotel." ”

But the next moment he was stunned, because the wallet was gone.

"Did the boss lose his wallet?" Niu Geng asked.

"If you say it's lost, it's definitely lost." Li Chenggong complained that he had seen Niu Geng's crow beak along the way, but fortunately, he still had dozens of yuan of change in his pocket when he bought a ticket, Li Chenggong thought about it, or took Niu Geng, and said: "Let's go, go to the front to find a hotel." ”

The rain is still falling, but the atmosphere is no longer the suppressed feelings just now, but full of lighthearted taste.

"Boss, how the hell did you come back?"

"Don't ask."

"Is there a road closure ahead?"

"Shut up!" Li Chenggong was obviously annoyed when he said this, damn Niu Geng, damn crow's mouth.

The questions and answers of the two people in the rain also made the audience completely ease from the slightly depressed atmosphere just now, and they couldn't help but laugh again.

Ye Sumang also looked extremely serious at this time, and at the same time, his evaluation of Yang Qing in his heart had improved by another level.

can design the plot so cleverly. It can be seen that his screenwriting skills are very deep, and such a short plot not only gives the film a touch of heaviness, but also creates a low-tide atmosphere for the audience, and then easily turns this dull atmosphere around, and directly sublimates the personal quality of Niu Geng's character. That's not all, Zuihou used a small bridge and a few lines to easily hook the plot back to the original path, sweeping away the dreary atmosphere of the audience just now because Niu Geng was deceived and Li Chenggong lost money.

This control is very good!

The film returned to the style of comedy, and then Li Chenggong was unlucky again in the hotel because of Niu Geng, a series of ridiculous stories made the audience's stomach ache, and as the conductor at the bus station sent back Li Chenggong's wallet in the morning, the two finally embarked on the journey again.

"The salesperson is really good. Knowing that he returned his wallet, Li Chenggong was the big boss, and there must be a lot of money in his wallet. ”

"There are still good people in society, the news a while ago didn't say that a cleaner picked up a plastic bag when he was cleaning up the garbage, and it turned out to be filled with tens of thousands of yuan in cash, and in the end not all of them were returned.

"yes, yes......"

Yang Qing was sitting in the first row at this time, with a wet towel in his hand. That's for wiping sweat.

His mood now is not only nervous, but with bursts of laughter and constant discussion from the audience. There was also a wave of excitement in his heart, which was the feeling of being recognized.

The audience loves to watch his movies, so they will laugh, they will get angry, they will be immersed in the plot and can't help but discuss the plot, and the audience's occasional few words of emotion make Yang Qing feel a 'confidant'. If he hadn't known his identity, I'm afraid Yang Qing would have immediately turned his head on the spot to discuss the plot with those audiences.

At this time, sitting next to Yang Qing were the film's leading actors Wang Baoqiang and Xu Zheng.

It's not the first time that the two have worked together, and the two of them have been in contact with "Crazy Stone" before, and they have been very happy to work together at the beginning. So this time, at the invitation of Yang Qing, Xu Zheng agreed without thinking about it, first, the script was good enough, and Wang Baoqiang, who played the rival play, was in line with his 'taste'.

As a veteran actor, Xu Zheng did not suffer from gains and losses like Yang Qing for this movie, but was full of confidence.

Ever since he saw the sample film, he knew in his heart that this movie would definitely be popular!

Not because of anything else, just because he watched his own performance, he would laugh and be moved, how could such a haode movie not be popular with the audience?

Wang Baoqiang, who was on the side of the mentor, didn't think too much, among all the artists in the company, he had the lowest sense of existence, and he was also the one who didn't like to be in the limelight, he was diligent every day, took acting classes in a down-to-earth manner, and worked hard to improve his actor quality, because in his opinion, being able to enter the world film and television company and become an artist under this company is a precious opportunity in itself, and he should cherish it.

As for the performance, as long as the company gives him the opportunity, he will not hesitate to go, if not, he will not be in a hurry, but is very patient and waiting.

And this time Yang Qing asked him to be the protagonist, he was really excited for a long time, this is the first time he has become the protagonist, Wang Baoqiang decided that he must play this role well in the moment he took over the script.

And now listening to the laughter and discussion in the back, it seems that his performance has really been recognized by the audience, and Wang Baoqiang's heart is full of satisfaction from the bottom of his heart at this time.

And in the subsequent plot, the two of them got on a ship and were about to go to another place to take the car home, and they lost the photo of Li Chenggong's 'lover' because of Niu Geng's play, but because of this loss, Niu Geng also found the 'female liar' who cheated him out of money on the shore.

In order to chase the female liar, the two people got off the boat and rushed to the female liar, and the female liar hurriedly ran away after seeing the two, which further strengthened the fact that the two people thought she was a liar, and chased all the way, but the final result surprised both of them.

A dilapidated house, in which lived a group of children, all of them looked very embarrassed, but everyone's eyes did not have that sense of discouragement, but full of hope, and they all had sketchboards in front of them. There are several paintings depicted on it, all of which are children's works, and the paintings in the works are also full of bright colors.

However, what surprised Li Chenggong even more was that the woman who had always been considered a liar before was feeding medicine to a little girl with gauze wrapped in her eyes, and at this time Li Chenggong thought of the words of the previous female liar. Obviously, I also understood that what this woman said was really true.

"Weishenme wants to run?" Li Chenggong suddenly asked.

"You won't believe me unless I bring you here." The female liar smiled and said.

Niu Geng had red circles in his eyes on the side, and he didn't say a word.

"They are all orphans, and my lover and I are both teachers at Shuguang Primary School......" The female liar began to slowly tell her experience, Li Chenggong never expected that this person who he thought was a female liar would have such a kind and strong heart.

Adopting a group of children, her boyfriend died in a car accident. She was disfigured by a car accident, but the difficulties of life did not break her, she picked up rags every day and took care of more than a dozen children, taught them knowledge, taught them to draw, and ignited hope for their lives, if it were not for the large sum of money needed to treat the children's eyes, she would not have begged. And she is really ready to pay back the money, and the ID card that Li Chenggong thinks is fake is also true......

The truth of the matter turned out to be like this. Li Chenggong was stunned, and the audience at the scene was also stunned.

And those who were judging the female liar's deception just now also lowered their heads in shame at this time, feeling that their faces were hot.

Some liars are really in it for money, but like this woman, her 'cheating' is really for a life. And she wasn't really 'cheating', it was the pressure of life that forced her, but when she arrived in Zuihou, she still gave her real ID card to the other party.

For a while, the entire theater was filled with self-blame and emotion, and some emotional audiences even moistened their eyes at this moment. Even when the female teacher said that she wanted to fulfill her boyfriend's wish and took the blind girl to see the rape flowers, she couldn't help but shed tears.

"Oh, I was wrong...... one viewer shook his head with a wry smile.

"Husband, I remember that there is a volunteer organization at school, let's sign up after watching the movie." A girl snuggled into a boy's arms and said with tears in her eyes.

"Of course, do your own small part, and hope that the society can pay more attention to this kind of thing." The boy's eyes were also red, and after listening to his girlfriend's words, he nodded firmly.

This scene in the film has aroused the kindness and emotion in the hearts of many people, and everyone knows that the things in the film are not fiction or exceptions, but just happen around them.

They can't do it all, but they can do their best to save some of it.

At least, at least it can bring hope to children for their future life like the female teacher in the movie, so that they can see the dawn of the future at all times.

While the audience was moved, Li Chenggong in the movie was also moved by the story of the female teacher, and took the initiative to take out all the cash on his body for the first time, and put the woman's ID card in a small schoolbag with cash.

When leaving the dilapidated house, suddenly a little girl ran out and handed a painting to Li Chenggong with a painting in her hand.

The painting is very simple, the two people drawn with colored crayons, it can be vaguely seen that they are Li Chenggong and Niu Geng, and the two people on the painting are with big smiles, looking very kind and sunny.

Li Chenggong also smiled at this time, and for the first time he showed a smile that was not with disdain or sarcasm, but from the heart, and he looked at the face of the woman standing in the distance at this time, and the scars on it seemed to have become extraordinarily beautiful......

When the audience saw this moment, they unconsciously put a smile on their faces, a smile from the heart.

In the subsequent plot, Niu Geng seemed to be running from time to time, and used the two yuan given by Li Chenggong to draw a small van, but unfortunately all this was an illusion, and then on the road, because of Niu Geng's 'unlicensed driving', the small bread rushed down the hill, causing the two people to spend the night outside.

Fortunately, Niu Geng's preparedness and the other two did not starve.

Small soju, canned beef, chicken feet, duck neck, pork knuckles, ramen noodles, plus the iron pot carried by Niu Geng, the two of them set up a fire in the field and began the bonfire dinner.

Maybe it's the desolate wilderness that makes each other feel like they're in trouble, or maybe Niu Geng's temperament along the way made Li Chenggong accept each other, and when the two were drinking wine and eating mixed pot instant noodles, Li Chenggong gradually confided in his heart.

"I wasn't a good son, and I wasn't even there for my father when he was gone because of his work. I'm not a good father either, I once held a parent-teacher conference for my daughter, her homeroom teacher didn't even know me, I wasn't a good husband, and I didn't dare to tell him behind my wife's back. Even as a lover, I'm not qualified, because I can't give her any results, in fact, I'm quite a failure......"

Including his attitude at work, his subordinates' views on himself, and even Niu Geng finally told Niu Geng about his own junior.

And Li Chenggong's words also aroused the thinking of all the audience present.

Especially some people who have stepped into society and have a certain status, they have a lot of feelings about this, and the film once again makes people fall into thinking about life. Is what he does like Li Chenggong, who looks very successful, but in fact fails very much......

In the end, the two finally arrived in Changsha smoothly, and Li Chenggong's lover also left Li Chenggong with blessings because he saw his wife and his children, and couldn't bear to destroy this happy family......

"Hah, boss!" A mouthful of big white teeth. Niu Geng's smile was frozen on the screen, and then the word 'END' also appeared. This is the end of the whole film.

Yang Qing closed his eyes tightly and tried to adjust his breathing, whether it was good or bad, just watch for a while......

But just as he was about to open his eyes, a thunderous applause suddenly sounded, and he quickly turned around to look. I saw that all the audience were applauding vigorously, and even the critical media not far from him also applauded!

It worked!!!

These three words instantly appeared in Yang Qing's mind, and then a huge surprise arose, and the smile on his face instantly bloomed.

"Haha, Director Yang. It worked! Xu Zheng stood up and clapped with a smile.

"Director, our film is a success!" Wang Baoqiang was also grinning happily.

Yang Qing was also laughing, and the feeling of accepting everyone's applause was so wonderful that he couldn't stop it.

"Sissi, let's go home." At this time, Ye Sumang, who was sitting in the box, also stood up, and then he knew that it was time for Yang Qing to enjoy the fruits of victory, and he didn't want to take the lead, so he left with Liu Yifei early.

"Mr. Ye!"

As soon as Ye Sumang walked to the door, suddenly there was a cry from behind, and when he turned around, it turned out to be Yang Qing.

"Why did you come out and didn't say a few more words to the media inside?" Ye Sumang asked curiously.

"There's nothing to say, there's Xu Zheng." Yang Qing smiled and scratched the back of his head, this is his habitual action, although it looks a little silly, but I don't know how to think it will also make people think that this person is very reliable.

"Director, Xiexie, the clothes you gave me, and ...... xiexie your chance for me. Yang Qing stood in front of Ye Sumang for a long time, and finally held back such a sentence, he was not good at words, but the two sentences of this sentence were indeed full of all his thoughts.

"The clothes are very handsome, the people are also very handsome, do a good job, I can't say that we can cooperate in the future." Ye Sumang patted Yang Qing's shoulder, the suit Yang Qing was wearing today was given by him, Yang Qing was going to wear a down jacket and come over, Ye Sumang really couldn't look at it, and hurriedly found someone to take him to the clothing store to choose a suit that fits, after all, as the premiere of his first movie, how can he leave a beautiful memory.

"Yes, Mr. Ye!" Yang Qing smiled and saluted an unruly military salute, and after Ye Sumang patted him on the shoulder, he ran back to the screening hall excitedly, he just came out of the special thanks to Ye Sumang, for the atmosphere full of success in the screening hall, he was full of aftertaste, and naturally couldn't wait to run back.

Looking at Yang Qing's back, Liu Yifei asked, "This is the director you signed." ”

"Well, maybe it will be very successful in the future." Ye Sumang smiled and nodded, with a little expectation in his eyes.

Facts have proved that Ye Sumang still has a clear vision for the choice of movies, and "People in Embarrassment", the first film to be determined by the "Asian New Star Director", has achieved brilliant results once it was released.

The record of 3 million box office on the first day and 28 million box office in the first week really shocked everyone, and many people in the circle exclaimed, this is another black and shiny black horse!!

After investing 10 million, it only took a week to return to the capital, and even made a small profit, which is simply incredible.

In fact, many people have a joke-watching attitude towards the jihua of 'Asian Rising Star Guide', thinking that Ye Sumang and Liu Dehua are throwing money for nothing to make a reputation, but now looking at the box office momentum of "People in Embarrassment", everyone is stunned.

And the key thing is that such a high box office is still built under only 500 screens, and in the next week, this batch of box office dark horses will once again add 500 screens, and fight the box office list again with 1,000 screens, everyone is looking forward to believing that this week's box office will still create an amazing result.

And with the popularity of the film, Xu Zheng's popularity has increased again, and Wang Baoqiang also broke out the previous accumulated word-of-mouth at one time, and really enjoyed the feeling of a popular star, and Yang Qing, as a director, finally officially entered the eyes of many well-intentioned people.

Many film companies are playing with his idea, but unfortunately they can't help but be annoyed after contact, Ye Sumang is too fast.

The news that Yang Qing signed a contract with Tianxia Film and Television spread quickly, and the group of people who wanted to poach them also temporarily restrained a lot, after all, Ye Sumang's name is still very loud.

A few days after the release of "People in Embarrassment", New Year's Day also came, Ye Sumang got up early in the morning, first learned about the box office situation of the movie, and knew that the rise was gratifying, and he was also very happy.

New Year's Day is also a small festival for Chinese, Ye Sumang was helping his grandfather make dumplings during the day, suddenly the phone rang, Ye Sumang picked up the phone, it turned out to be Xia Bing calling.

A few minutes later, Ye Sumang put down his phone, and the smile that couldn't be hidden from the corner of his mouth was revealed, which made Old Man Ye very curious.

"Su Mang, what's so happy?"

"Grandpa!" Ye Sumang smiled: "My film has been shortlisted for the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film!! (To be continued......)
