591 Climb the wall and watch a movie
If a movie can produce these series of effects, it will fully squeeze the residual value of the film, and that is what Wang Xiaohu is most proud of and proud of, because his original purpose of filming "Myth" has been achieved. γReading.comγ
"Hey, hey!" Wang Xiaohu remembered another thing, and couldn't help but laugh out loud, Zhao Gang, who had just been about to fall asleep, was awakened by laughter, and he muttered: "Old Wang, what are you laughing at?" β
"It's nothing, it's just that I'm steady." Wang Xiaohu said something that Zhao Gang couldn't understand.
Wang Xiaohu is indeed down-to-earth, very down-to-earth!
Because the thing he was most worried about when he came to his hometown this time did not happen, while lamenting that creation made people, he still had a faint sadness in his heart.
The only child born to the "parents" in the previous life was a girl, not a little boy.
This shows that Wang Xiaohu's memory of his previous life is still very accurate.
In his previous life, Wang Xiaohu was born with dystocia, and his mother was bleeding heavily and could no longer have children, so Wang Xiaohu was an only child.
In this life, the "mother" gave birth to a girl, who was also in dystocia or hemorrhage, and was also unable to have children.
The tragic scene of two people who can only live one did not happen, and Wang Xiaohu speculated that perhaps the fate of his "parents" changed from the moment he was reborn.
This is the main reason why he is down-to-earth, otherwise he really doesn't know how to face his "parents". After learning that the "mother" gave birth to a daughter, he tried to confirm his guess by recognizing his ancestors and returning to his ancestors, and sure enough, this was the case.
So Wang Xiaohu is very down-to-earth now, and he is even more determined to help his "parents" improve their lives. Although they have no relationship in blood in this life, but in the last life, these two old men worked hard to raise him, he has not mixed up with his personal appearance, and he has not been reborn before he has done filial piety for the two, so it is reasonable for him to do this, only by doing so, can he be worthy of his conscience and the name Wang Xiaohu.
The jeep continued to drive on the road, and when he passed through the city of Jinan, he found that there were still a large number of young people queuing up in front of the three movie theaters of Daguanyuan, Xingxing, and Dianliuzhuang to buy movie tickets.
The jeep changed several roads, but it was crowded with people, and in desperation, the car slowed down again in front of the long line, and the driver Xiao Sun turned his head and asked: "Mr. Wang, what should I do, we can't pass the road when we came!" β
Wang Xiaohu smiled and said: "It's okay, we have plenty of time, just leave when we have less people, you park the car on the side of the road first, we haven't eaten anything for most of the night." β
Sun Yuan sighed, dodging the crowd and parked the car on the side of the road, Zhao Gang opened his eyes in a daze and asked, "Have you arrived in Yanjing?" β
"No, I just arrived in Jinan." Wang Xiaohu smiled and said, "The car is blocked by the crowd again, let's go down and have some supper." β
The three of them finally made their way through the crowd and saw a late-night snack seller under the big poplar tree in front of the movie theater.
The so-called supper is actually very simple, a few tables, a dim charging lamp, the old couple are busy under the light under the wontons, dumplings, and there is a straw bun shop not far away that is also lit.
"Teacher, can you eat something, wontons or dumplings?" The boss is busy and busy with business.
Jinan people generally call strangers or customers "teacher", just like everyone often says "comrade", Wang Xiaohu listened to it very kindly, which many teenagers have never heard.
"Three bowls of wontons, plus a pound of dumplings." Wang Xiaohu said after sitting down with Zhao Gang and Sun Yuan.
"I don't eat leek stuffing." Zhao Gang frowned and said after moving his nose.
"Don't eat leeks?" Wang Xiaohu was stunned for a moment, and then said to Sun Yuanhe: "Go buy him a cage of straw buns." β
The three of them tossed and walked for a day, and except for eating something in the car, their stomachs were already hungry.
When the boss brought the wontons, he smiled and said, "You guys also come to see the movie?" β
"yes." Wang Xiaohu said.
"You didn't buy a ticket, did you?"
Wang Xiaohu ate wontons and said: "Just looking at these people will give me a headache, and I don't think I can buy tickets at dawn." β
"Haha, I'm telling you, you can't buy it until tomorrow night." The boss laughed heartily: "I can't sell out of tickets, so that my business can be better." β
"Haven't you made a lot of money today?" Wang Xiaohu asked again.
The boss nodded vigorously and said, "A lot, just the wontons, by the time you finish eating these three bowls, there will be more than 50." β
This year, a bowl of wontons was only 5 cents, and the boss said that it was sold for more than 50 yuan, which was two months' wages for normal workers, no wonder the boss was overjoyed!
"Poof!" Zhao Gang almost spit out the wontons, glared at the boss and said, "You sold 1,000 bowls in one night?" β
"How can it be, it has been sold since the morning, and since I heard that the movie theater is going to show Hong Kong martial arts films, our family of five has been making wontons since yesterday, and my father will have to pick up two burdens later." The boss grinned.
Zhao Gang nodded and said, "I'll just say it, it's reasonable in this way." β
Wang Xiaohu was eating wontons, and from time to time he put a few straw buns into his mouth, and the straw buns in this year are fragrant, which are several times more fragrant than the straw buns he ate in his previous life.
A stall selling wontons next to a movie theater can earn more than 50 a day, not counting the income of dumplings, and this is just the situation of a movie theater, Wang Xiaohu can completely guess the income of movie theaters across the country.
"Damn, that's okay?" Wang Xiaohu chewed the straw bale bun in his mouth and said: "Hey, even if it is prosperous, the number of movie theaters is small after all, taking advantage of the current market situation, we have to explore the plan to build a joint venture with the mainland as soon as possible." β
The thighs of mosquitoes are also meat, Wang Xiaohu feels that the harvest of this visit to grassroots cities is still not small, at least the potential market profits of movie theaters have been explored, if it is used well, the box office income of the mainland is also a large amount, at least it can make his income higher, right?
What is more important is that he must establish a good habit of Hong Kong filmmakers entering the mainland, but people in Hong Kong may not have the courage to enter the mainland, because once they enter the mainland to shoot films, the Taiwan authorities will definitely ban them.
Taiwan is still very important in the eyes of most Hong Kong filmmakers, because most directors need to get investment from Taiwanese film companies, which is far less expensive than Concord Company, which is invested in filming independently.
To put it bluntly, the scale of film production is too small, and if it reaches the scale of the five major film companies of Concord, Shaw Brothers or Concord, it will not be subject to all kinds of restrictions in Taiwan.
And even Shaw Brothers may not know which film is popular, so in order to share the investment risk, most films rely on other investors or shareholders.
Concord was able to rise from a small satellite company to the leader of the Hong Kong film industry and even the Hollywood film industry, relying on nothing more than Wang Xiaohu's foresight, he knew what movies would be popular in the future, and he could accurately launch the corresponding films in combination with the appropriate historical environment, and achieve box office success, which is the envy of other film companies but cannot have the innate conditions.
So far, Hong Kong filmmakers, including Run Run Shaw, believe that Wang Xiaohu's success is not a coincidence, and Wang Xiaohu's films will be questioned at the beginning, but after a long time, everyone is numb, because this young man has an unusually keen brain for business, and he is a business genius!
Three bowls of wontons cost one and a half cents, a pound of dumplings costs two cents, and a large cage of straw buns is only two cents and a half, and in the 80s, spending six cents could make three people eat very full!
After the boss found change, he probably saw the three of them making generous moves, and said mysteriously: "Hey, do you want to watch a movie?" β
"Think, can you get a movie ticket?"
Zhao Gang came to the spirit all of a sudden, don't look at the copy of "Myth" has long been sent to the mainland, but the Ministry of Culture has blocked the copy strictly, including Zhao Gang, I haven't seen it, I thought I could see what I did in the film tonight, how do I know that I was pulled by Wang Xiaohu to recognize my ancestors and return to my ancestors, and now when I hear the boss say this, of course I am very excited.
The boss shook his head and said, "I can't buy a movie ticket, if you want to buy a movie ticket, I'll tell you a way." The boss said and pointed to the police who maintained order at the ticket gate, "See those big caps, if you give him a few cigarettes, they can help you buy movie tickets." β
The three of them looked at each other, but didn't they, those police officers were maintaining order at the scene with cigarettes in their mouths, and judging from their bulging jacket pockets, eighty percent of them were stuffed with cigarettes.
"It's fucking spectacular." Zhao Gang touched the few soft pieces left in his pocket, and felt that it was a pity for these police officers to smoke it, and finally asked, "Is there any other way?" β
"Hey, there's one!" The boss smiled, pointed to a small alley and said, "You can't walk more than ten meters from here, there is a low wall, the three of you can climb in with each other's help, and then you can go to the back window of the movie theater to watch." β
After seeing the three of them suddenly realized, the boss whispered: "Don't tell anyone else about this, otherwise my business won't last long." β
"Yes, yes. Thanks to the boss. Wang Xiaohu said busily, and then took the lead into the small alley, this low wall did not pose a threat to the three people who were very good, and soon they came to the back window that the boss pointed to.
"Damn, we were fooled by the boss!" Zhao Gang said miserably.
It's not a problem, I saw that the back window was already full of people watching movies, the height of the window was two and a half meters high, but these people were stunned to stand on tiptoe and climb up to watch, and the number of windows was still limited, people removed the green bricks at the window opening, and a window opening was crowded with heads, and some people were still applauding while watching, and their bodies were swaying, so it was not dangerous.
