94. Chapter 94
In China, the first show of a newly released movie is usually scheduled at midnight, and according to the normal length, by the end of the movie, it is already two o'clock in the morning.
Because of this schedule, there are very few people who choose to watch the zero point show, and of course, most of these people are die-hard fans of the movie.
The release date of "The Prosperous Age" is set for December 1, which happens to be a Saturday, and the distributor's purpose is very clear, that is, to take advantage of the popularity of the weekend to rush the box office on the first day.
But who knew that the plan couldn't catch up with the changes, the night before, snowflakes fell in most cities in northern China, and when it was late at night, City B was covered in snow, and it was difficult for citizens to travel, let alone brave the snow at night to see the premiere.
Lan Xi and Xuan Mo stayed at home together, holding the hot and steaming teacup in their hands, and under the light, there was a warmth in the home.
There was a strange program on the TV, Lan Xi was lying on the sofa with Xiaobai in his arms, and Xuanmo was nesting on the sofa beside him, holding a book in his hand, and turning the pages leisurely. Inside the window and outside the window, there are two different worlds.
Director Yang's call came at such a moment.
Lanxi took the mobile phone, Xiaobai took the opportunity to jump off him, and ran away with a smoke, Lanxi was puzzled and picked up the phone in his hand: "Director Yang? β
"Xiaoxi, it's okay, I'm just a little bored, call and chat with you." Director Yang's voice came out of the microphone, but the casual words couldn't hide the tension in his tone.
Xuan Mo looked up, Lan Xi glanced at him, and shrugged helplessly: "Oh, okay." β
Sure enough, without saying a few words, Director Yang changed his style, and finally talked about his worries about the box office on the first day, scolded himself for the bad weather, and finally hung up the phone under Lanxi's persuasion.
Lancy was a little amused, took a few steps forward, opened the window, and the chill came.
Suddenly, a big hand pulled him back, closed the window, and said lightly: "A good movie will not be buried." β
In this era, the pearl is covered with dust, and it is rare to meet talents. What's more, the matter has come to this point, but it is just doing its best, obeying the destiny of heaven, and worrying that it is no longer half useful.
Lan Xi couldn't cry or laugh, stretched out his hand to pull down Xuan Mo's neck, raised his head, and printed a kiss on the other party's lips, "Reward you." "Let's go to Xiaobai to watch TV.
Xuan Mo was stunned, looking at the back of the little mermaid, his eyes were slightly dark: Do you want to run away if you flirt?
In fact, both Director Yang and Lan Xi underestimated their efforts in publicity, and also underestimated the fans' enthusiasm for idols.
Su Yingying pulled her boyfriend out of the car, braved the snow and rushed into the door of the theater, the heat rushed to the face, and the two were relieved: "Finally alive." β
Who knows, when they looked up, they were dumbfounded.
The waiting area for watching the movie has been occupied by the sofas that used to be dissatisfied, and there is also a long queue in front of the ticket machine, the staff are busy, and the white light dispels the darkness, and the eyes are as good as day.
Su Yingying subconsciously lowered her head and looked at the watch on her wrist. That's right, it's half past eleven in the evening.
The boyfriend thought for a while and smiled: "Probably, everyone thinks the same?" β
are all working hard to save face for their idols.
Sure enough, her boyfriend thought well, Su Yingying checked the ticket, and just found her place to sit down, she heard two young people next to her discussing with great interest:
"Madame's movie, even if the association is not uniform, I still want to watch it."
"It's not easy, old peach tree, you haven't been on this occasion for decades, right?"
"Hey, yes. By the way, the snake elder is here over there......"
Madam? Snake Old?
Could it be that these two people are fans of Ruan Butterfly? But after Ruan Ying, she is not married?
Su Yingying couldn't hold back the curiosity in her heart: "Excuse me, I want to ask, ...... is the lady in your mouth?" β
When the words fell, I saw that the two of them were stunned for a moment, and in the next second, their heads came together: "Human!" "It's all your fault! "Discovered! β
After some discussion, just when the smile on Su Yingying's face was almost unbearable, the person next to her turned his head and asked innocently and blankly, "What lady?" Did you hear it wrong? β
Su Yingying blinked.
"However, we are here today for Lord Lancy."
Lancey ...... My lord?
"Me too!" Su Yingying always felt that these two people were a little weird, but she couldn't say what was wrong. So I had to retract my head stupidly and focus on the movie.
Seeing this, the two people beside him slowly breathed a sigh of relief.
There was a melodious sound, and the movie slowly kicked off.
Su Yingying immersed herself in the story, and her feelings rose further with the advancement of the plot, and finally, when the protagonist learned that due to the drought in Guanzhong, the imperial court granted amnesty to the world and was exempted from exile Yelang, "the white emperor of the court, and the thousands of miles of Jiangling returned in one day", reached the peak.
She stretched out her hand, took a tissue from her pocket, and while she wiped her tears, she turned her head to look at her neighbor.
When the two protagonists left Chang'an City, they began to wipe their tears.
It's just that I don't know if I don't see it, I was startled when I saw it, and under the dim light source of the screen, the man next to him, his feet...... It's gone!
Su Yingying took a deep breath, wondering whether to scream or scream!
She desperately persuaded herself to settle down, and once again she looked intently, only to find that ...... The foot reappeared, resting on the ground in good shape!
Are you dazzled?
Su Yingying turned her head suspiciously and turned her gaze back to the screen.
The old peach tree breathed a sigh of relief.
The crow fairy beside him glared at him, and the old peach tree sneered: When he saw that there was water, he subconsciously turned into a tree root and wanted to absorb it, isn't this ...... It's by nature!
Although she was interrupted once, Su Yingying quickly entered the state, and in the movie, the protagonist was already dying.
"Woooooooooo......oo And just died...... Human life is too fragile. β
The man next to him cried again, but Su Yingying ignored him this time and took out a tissue to wipe her tears. There seemed to be something sour and sour choking in my heart, helpless and uncomfortable, and my eyes were like a faucet with a broken valve, and I kept running water.
Xiao Sheng sounded again, the list of main creators appeared, the audience in the theater stood up, the lights turned on, and when they looked around, they found that the eyes of the people around them were red.
Su Yingying and her boyfriend went out together, and listened to the people next to her sigh: "It's really abuse, I originally thought that the film critics paid for it, but now I think it's wrong to blame them." β
came to support idols, but I didn't expect to get a good movie.
"Looking for what?"
Su Yingying came back to her senses: "Oh, it's okay. β
The two people who were sitting next to her just now suddenly disappeared. And, I don't know if it's her delusion, but I always feel ...... There were a lot fewer people in the theater.

A movie can be a big hit, and word of mouth is very important. Although in the past few years, any bad movie can run rampant and have a box office of over 100 million, but the audience's viewing taste has improved, and this good day has almost passed, and high-quality word-of-mouth dramas have become the new darlings of the audience.
At the same time, word of mouth ...... It is also necessary to divide the source.
Compared with the long articles of professional film critics, the recommendations from the WeChat circle of friends are easier to adopt.
ββ¦β¦ Go and see it, don't regret it. It's not good-looking. β
"Really, it's comedy, it's super funny! Ah, let me laugh for a moment! β
"Ready to go to the second brush, is anyone with me?"
In short, under the recommendation of friends, many people jumped into this big pit, but magically, these pit audiences went out of the theater, not only did not blame their own guys, but on the contrary, silently joined the pit others' team.
β¦β¦ It's true, it's beautiful.
At 18 o'clock on the first day of the screening, the real-time box office analysis of Gouyan showed that the box office of "Shengshi" exceeded 100 million, setting a new record for the fastest time in China to break through the 100 million yuan mark.
On the second day, when Lanxi arrived at the celebration banquet, the two bottles of champagne had bottomed out, and when he saw Lanxi, Director Yang's eyes lit up and he pulled him over: "Xiaoxi, come!" β
The box office of "Shengshi" has 20 million, and according to the analysis of the number of jΓΉ, most of them are students outside the twenties.
There is also the support of non-human associations, who they are going to, at a glance.
"Director Yang." Lancey took the glass and took a symbolic sip, "Congratulations! β
Yang Mao couldn't close his mouth with a smile, the success of "Shengshi" can make his career go further, especially when this movie is still his own favorite thing, how can he not be happy!
"Teacher Lan, you're out of wine, but you can't say it."
Director Yang raised his eyes and saw Zhou Qi, who he hadn't seen for a long time, and the smile on his face faded. The scene was awkward.
At this moment, Lanxi's mobile phone rang.
"Sorry, I'll answer the phone."
connected, Zhao Xiaotao's ecstatic voice came out of the microphone, "Xiaoxi, the person from the Spring Festival Gala just now contacted me and said that he wanted to invite you to the show, the Spring Festival Gala, it's the Spring Festival Gala!" β
"I see, you calm down."
Lancy hung up the phone, a little joy in her eyes. Even if he is lonely and unheard, he knows the weight of the Spring Festival Gala. Being able to go to the Spring Festival Gala also means that his hard work has been recognized.
Seeing this, Director Yang smiled and said, "A good thing? β
"Confidentiality."
It's just that it didn't take long for the Spring Festival Gala to become an open secret.
Mr. Producer's eyes lit up when he saw Lanxi, stepped forward a few steps, and said with a smile: "Xiaoxi, congratulations, Mr. Han told me just now, you are very satisfied with the Spring Festival Gala......"
Come on, Lancey silently shut up.
There was another congratulatory sound all around.
Zhou Qi stood aside, looking at Lan Xi, who was surrounded by the crowd in the middle of the banquet hall, and gritted his teeth angrily.
It's just that Zhou Qi's unlucky days didn't end so soon.
The next day, he came to the company and got the script that his agent had helped him choose. In addition to him, the agent Miss Yang also brought a second-tier female artist, and she saw the dragon all day long.
"Pick one, shall you?"
Zhou Qi opened the script, read it one by one, and after a while, he snapped the script shut, frowned and looked up: "That's all?" β
is either a supporting role in a brain-dead costume drama, or a web drama directed by a newcomer, and there is not even a big production zuΓ².
The agent couldn't stop, gave up fiddling with her colorful nails, and snorted: "Why, when you play a supporting role in "The Prosperous Age", you don't know how thick the sky is?" β
"You!"
"What am I? The big system zuΓ², when there is energy. It's just that after "Brother Ben" was broadcast, others informed me that the character had found an actor. β
Zhou Qi was furious, his eyes red.
"If you offend someone, you will bear the consequences. I'm not going to be with you. Miss Yang Shi Shiran stood up and walked away in high heels.
The next day, Zhou Qi received a notice from the company that he was transferred to another agent, who was full of old newcomers who had not been able to emerge for many years.
"Ransi, it's all because of Rancy'......"
"If it weren't for him, I wouldn't have been given up by the company, and if it wasn't for him, the fans wouldn't have left."
"I'm going to kill him!"
Like a camel that has been crushed by the last straw, Zhou Qi's head roared, his chest rose and fell violently, he picked up the car keys on the table, closed the door and rushed out of the apartment.
