"Western Regions Dragon" was released for only three days, and the box office plummeted. From 2 million on the first day, it quickly fell to 1.2 million on the third day. The result exceeded all expectations. Those who were waiting to see the jokes, such as Dong Ruifeng and Ma Yuan, were fiercely disappointed.

"How is this possible?" Dong Ruifeng's eyes were glued to the newspaper in his hand, with an unbelievable look on his face, and he muttered to himself, "The famous Cheng Long, equivalent to 4." A big production of 500 million yuan will lose to a grass stage team? ”

Dong Ruifeng staggered back and fell on the seat. His eyes were fixed on the newspaper in his hand, as if trying to see something. But the bright data comparison almost blinded his dog eyes!

Zhang Yuan also has a newspaper in his hand, which lists a large number of data, which compares the two movies "Nightclub" and "Western Regions Weilong" in all aspects.

"Nightclub" had a box office of 3.8 million on the first day, 3.78 million on the second day, 3.79 million on the third day, and 3.79 million on the fourth day. The box office is very stable. At present, a large number of viewers across the country are queuing up to buy tickets, and it is difficult to find a ticket for "Nightclub".

On the other hand, "Western Regions Weilong", the huge figure of 55 million US dollars, compared with the 1.6 million yuan of "Nightclub", is so dazzling! Those who are familiar with the film industry, as long as they look at the changes in the box office data of "Weilong in the Western Regions", will understand that it will not be long before this big production will be drawn offline by major theaters.

"It's too weird," Zhang Yuan couldn't help but say, "We've both seen the movie "Nightclub", a low-budget comedy, and the idea is quite ingenious, but both the picture quality and shooting skills are far inferior to "Western Regions Weilong". "Nightclub" has Zhao Wei, but "Western Regions Weilong" has Cheng Long? It stands to reason that after the release of "Weilong in the Western Regions", the box office should be bullish, and the box office of "Nightclub" will drop sharply. How is it the other way around now?! ”

Dong Ruifeng sneered and said, "I don't understand." Can't the domestic audience tell the difference between good and bad? How does "Nightclub" compare with "Western Regions Dragon"? Are they all blind? ”

"Is the role of public opinion propaganda so great?" Zhang Yuan is calmer than Dong Ruifeng and has seen more things than him.

Zhang Yuan pondered for a while, and then said slowly: "I understand." Tsk, I didn't expect this kid to be bad at making movies. Engaging in some demonic crooked ways is so good! ”

"What?" Dong Ruifeng looked at the other party puzzled.

Zhang Yuan raised his head and said calmly: "If the people around you are talking about a movie, it's this topic all day long, and you have never seen it and don't understand it. What would you do? ”

"What to do and how?" Dong Ruifeng was even more confused.

"If it were me, I would definitely be interested in this amazing film. Even people who have never set foot in a movie theater will go in because they want to see this movie. After Zhang Yuan finished speaking, he sighed.

Dong Ruifeng finally understood, so it was!

It turns out that he has been drilling the horns of the bull all along. Whether a movie can win at the box office has a relationship with its quality, as well as with other things. With the help of the power of public opinion, this kid Chen Yuan was able to do this! Is he still human?

Dong Ruifeng's face turned cold again, and he sneered: "Senior brother, this kid is very ghostly. But that's the end of it! Propaganda can trick stupid audiences into the cinema. But it's not a long-term solution. Movies, in the final analysis, are still king in quality! "Western Dragons" may be a little worse in this regard, but the next "Gladiator" and "The Matrix" are real classics! ”

Zhang Yuan smiled bitterly and said: "Making movies is what I'm good at, and I don't know much about things outside of movies." No one can say for sure how much energy "Nightclub" has now, so let's wait and see! ”

On July 18, under the watchful eye, the American blockbuster "Gladiator" was released.

Early in the morning, Zong Shaojie came to Guangzhou Xingmei International Cinema City (Xinduhui store) again. It's the fifth day. See the crowd frantically pouring into the cinema. Zong Shaojie was inexplicably excited, in his impression that China's cinemas have always been very sluggish, when has it been so lively?

Fan Bing, who was following behind Zong Shaojie, smiled and said, "Reporter Zongda." When people go to the cinema to watch a movie, what are you excited about? ”

"You don't understand," Zong Shaojie said seriously, "From the moment I first walked into the cinema during college, I looked forward to the real development of our Chinese film industry." Do you look at Hollywood? How many blockbusters are produced per year? How many fans are looking forward to it. Are we traveling in China? It's so depressed! In the past, there was Xiangjiang, the Oriental Hollywood, but now it is gone. ”

"So you say. Is our Chinese film market over? Fan Bing said funny.

"It's almost the same," Zong Shaojie finally calmed down, he explained, "China is completely different from abroad, Western countries have long relaxed restrictions on films and encouraged the development of the film industry." Although this is also being done in China, it is clear that many things are still immature. Now I see a good sign. ”

Fan Bing was a little unimpressed, she pursed her lips and said, "This is also called a sprout?" Now this place is so lively because everyone has been bewitched by the media and public opinion. I also watched this "Nightclub", and I don't feel very good! ”

"And you're still running into the cinema to watch?" Zong Shaojie asked.

"I also watched "Western Regions Dragon", and I also want to watch this "Gladiator" today." Fan Bing said angrily.

Zong Shaojie didn't want to pay attention to Fan Bing anymore. Although she is also a big beauty, she feels a lot worse than that Teacher Ye. Zong Shaojie set aside Fan Bing and interviewed these audiences who walked into the cinema. He interviewed 13 people in a row, and 8 viewers chose to watch "Nightclub", only 4 chose to watch "Gladiator", and 1 chose "Western Regions Weilong".

Zong Shaojie smiled bitterly, it seems that "Weilong of the Western Regions" is really not good, there is a fierce dragon in the front, a fierce tiger in the back, Cheng Long's "40 million box office", it seems to have become a joke at this time!

Zhejiang Ningbo UME Yigao International Cinema. It's crowded and business is booming.

There was a long queue of spectators who bought movie tickets. The waiting hall was full of people. A man in his thirties, with two mustaches, wearing a cap and holding a camera, stood in a corner of the hall. From time to time, his gaze looked to the other side of the hall, where a beautiful woman stood in graceful figure.

Pretty women occasionally look this way. At this point, the bearded man would twist his head to the other place, pretending that nothing had happened.

A freckled little girl stabbed the pretty woman and reminded in a low voice, "Sister." You seem to be being followed. ”

"I know," said the pretty woman with a smile, "this guy has been following me for half a year, and I'm used to it." That's right. Little sister, what movie did you watch? ”

"Nightclub, my classmates have been talking about this movie recently, and I finally asked for a movie ticket from my mother." The little girl with freckles whispered, "I'm curious about what kind of movie this "Nightclub" is. It's so appealing. Hey, by the way, sister, what kind of movie are you watching? Gladiator? ”

"It's a movie that only men see," said the pretty woman with a smile, "I'm just like you, I've come to see 'The Club,' and it's the fifth time......"

The little girl with freckles opened her mouth wide in surprise: "Is this movie really so good?" ”

"I'm not watching a movie...... "The pretty woman said.

The mustachioed man saw that the two people who were talking looked at him from time to time, and he suddenly became much more cautious. Don't squint and smile. It seems to be seriously appreciating the promotional posters in the cinema.

Huang Bo and Wang Baoqiang's appearance is really ugly, such people can also make movies? The mustachioed man slandered in his heart.

Suddenly, a mobile phone rang, and the mustachioed man was full of excitement, he quickly took out his mobile phone and connected the call.

A faint male voice came from the phone: "I've arrived, where are you?" ”

The mustachioed man quickly replied, "I'm in the southwest corner of the waiting room, wearing a cap and holding a camera, and you can see me as soon as you come in." ”

"Oh. And what about her? ”

"She's here, too!" The mustachioed man replied.

But when he hung up the phone, where was the figure of a beautiful woman in front of him? Even the little girl with freckles just now disappeared. He was startled and looked up. Finally. He found the familiar figure in the crowd of moviegoers who slowly poured into the No. 7 screening room.

He quietly breathed a sigh of relief, as long as the person didn't lose it!

Seven minutes later, the door to the movie theater was shut. The mustachioed man's gaze never left the door again, for fear of losing his target again.

Suddenly, a faint voice came from behind the mustachioed man. "Duan Kun?"

The bearded man turned around and saw his young employer, "Chen Yuan? We finally met. ”

"Good work," Chen Yuan thanked.

"Yes," Duan Kun smiled and said, "This is my job." By the way, let's officially introduce it. My name is Duan Kun, Duan's Duan, Qiankun's Kun, from Tsim Sha Tsui, Hong Kong. The most professional paparazzi, has been in the industry for 13 years. ”

Chen Yuan smiled faintly and said, "Your task has been completed. The $30,000 will be transferred to your account by midnight tonight. ”

The two shook hands, and Duan Kun said, "Happy cooperation!" ”

"It's a pleasure to work together," Chen Yuan said, "I still need your help with one more thing." ”

"Oh?" Duan Kun said goodbye to the cap, "Say, as long as I can do it, I will never refuse." ”

Chen Yuan said: "Do you remember the three violent attacks more than two months ago? Dong Ruifeng is currently cleared of suspicion, and I suspect that the mastermind behind the scenes is likely to be that Ma Yuan. I hope you can secretly verify and find evidence that Ma Yuan instigated the murder! ”

After Duan Kun heard this, he was silent. After a long time, he slowly spoke: "This matter is very tricky, the police of the three places have jointly handled the case, but there is no result so far. You don't think I'm better than those cops, do you? ”

"What, no faith?" Chen Yuan smiled faintly.

"Confidence is there, but whether you can do it or not depends on what you mean." Duan Kun rubbed his hands, his intention to ask for money was obvious.

"The price is whatever you want, as long as you can dig up the evidence of Ma Yuan's secret move!" Chen Yuan said.

"OK," Duan Kun should come down. The two talked for a while, and Duan Kun offered to leave.

As soon as the figure of this mustachioed man disappeared into the movie theater, Su Muying couldn't help but ask: "Brother Chen Yuan, is this person the most professional paparazzi?" How did you get in touch? ”

"From the Internet," Chen Yuan said softly, "I found this person's information from the Internet. I've been in contact with this guy a few times before, and he's very vocal and very capable. Having such a person do things for me can save me a lot of worry. ”

"Oh," Su Muying's tone was very strange, and she asked again, "Do you think we will be followed by a mysterious paparazzi like him one day?" This guy looks like he has great powers, in case someone like him digs up the secret between us, then how are we going to face society? ”

Chen Yuan touched her little head and said with a smile: "Don't worry, we don't have anything to be afraid of." Even if there is a day, I am not afraid. To have you is to own the whole world. And my world, it's enough to have you......"

"I hate it," Su Muying said shyly, her little face gradually turning red.

The two waited in the waiting hall. An hour and a half later, the screening of "Nightclub" ended, and the door of Screening Hall 7 was pushed open. The moviegoers came out of the screening hall one after another.

Ye Yun and the freckled little girl walked out with the crowd, the two talked and laughed, and seemed to have a harmonious relationship. The little girl with freckles looked up and didn't find the mustache with the cap just now. She gradually relaxed.

Ye Yun was more secretive, she just swept around with the afterglow of her eyes. She also didn't see the man in the cap again, but she saw two familiar figures.

"Teacher Ye, meet again." Chen Yuan came to Ye Yun and said with a smile.

Su Muying followed behind Chen Yuan and shouted "Teacher Ye".

Ye Yun opened her mouth, she was a little surprised, and a lot of thoughts and thoughts instantly popped up in her mind. Immediately, she suppressed these thoughts and thoughts, smiled softly, and said, "Chen Yuan, Mu Ying, hello. It's not enough to talk here, so let's go out and talk about it! ”

The group of three people got out of the movie theater and came to a nearby bubble tea shop and sat down.

Along the way, Ye Yun has already sorted out her thoughts. She asked Chen Yuan for confirmation: "That mustache that has been following me for five months was sent by you?" ”

Chen Yuan was very surprised when he heard this, he didn't expect that guy to be discovered!

Chen Yuan didn't hide it from Ye Yun, he told the truth: "When you resigned, your mood was very abnormal, I was worried that something would happen to you, so I found someone to protect you secretly." ”

"Covert protection?" After hearing this, Ye Yun immediately smiled.

Chen Yuan nodded awkwardly, it was not nice to talk about secretly following this matter, he was afraid that saying it would cause Ye Yun's disgust. But he didn't expect that Ye Yun was smarter than he thought.

"Waited so long for you to come to me, what's the matter?" Ye Yun stroked the long hair around her ears and asked softly.

"You must already know about the Nightclub," Chen Yuan got straight to the point, "We were inexplicably hostile to media tycoon Li Yisheng. He arranged three blockbuster snipe me for this little movie. I've never crossed paths with this person, and he can't target me for no reason. I've been thinking about it for a long time, and the problem is likely to be with you. ”

"I know you investigated me." Ye Yun ignored Chen Yuan's embarrassment and continued, "Li Yisheng is my father. The reason why he is targeting you so much is not to disadvantage you, but to help you. ”

"Why can't I see that?" Su Muying muttered quietly beside him. (To be continued.) )
