Chapter 378: Magic Warm-up (Only One Chapter Today)
Yuan Yuan Cafe.
After Jiang Xiaowen completed Wang Shang's task, she rushed here, and the purpose of coming here today was to go on a blind date.
Pity the hearts of parents all over the world, Jiang Xiaowen is not yet 24 years old, so she is anxious to introduce her boyfriend to herself, for fear that she will not be able to get married. But no matter what, Jiang Xiaowen has been busy at this age, and she has never been in love, so she still has a little expectation in her heart.
The man's photos have been seen, delicate, a little handsome, a little confident, judging from the other party's appearance, Jiang Xiaowen is quite satisfied, and the other party is his hometown, born in the countryside, and there should be less estrangement.
Jiang Xiaowen was nervous and holding a book, which was a token that her parents had explained to the two sides to meet and identify. Looking around the café, I finally found a boy holding a book with a fiery red cover, and he looked very much like the man in the photo.
"Hello, your name is Li Quan, my name is Jiang Xiaowen, I'm sorry to be late." Jiang Xiaowen walked over and said slightly apologetically.
"It's fine." The other party said lightly.
The two sat down and ordered two cups of coffee, one cold and one hot. The two of them grunted and drank coffee, did not speak, and were silent.
Li Quan looked Jiang Xiaowen up and down from time to time, hairstyle, earrings, clothes, watches, hand accessories...... After sweeping back and forth a few times, I couldn't help but be a little disappointed, followed by a little arrogance.
However, Jiang Xiaowen felt that Li Quan in front of her was quite pleasing to the eye, and she could try to continue the next step of contact.
After a few minutes, Li Quan finally opened his mouth to break the peace: "What school did you graduate from?" ”
"Well, mine is a graduate of Southern Business School."
Li Quan frowned unconsciously: "Oh, junior college, right?" I have a master's degree from Fudan University. ”
"Oh." As if feeling Li Quan's sense of arrogance, Jiang Xiaowen suddenly felt that the whole person was not good, was he disgusted? Suddenly there was no interest in chatting.
However, Li Quan became energetic: "What is your job now?" ”
"I used to be a clerk, now I'm a secretary."
"Secretary." Li Quan frowned again, "How much is the salary?" ”
"About 4000 a month." This is the salary of a clerk, after being transferred to the secretary, the company will more than double, but it is still a probationary period, so Jiang Xiaowen didn't say anything.
Feeling that he had reached the bottom, Li Quan resumed his smile, and said with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "More than 4,000, you have to work hard." I'm now working as a comic project manager in Feilong Comics, and there are more than 10,000 yuan a month, and when I get promoted, there's no problem with an annual salary of 20-300,000 yuan. ”
A strong smell of show-off permeated the air.
Li Quan said "bitterly": "You and I are fellow villagers and know the hardships in the countryside, so it is easier for us to marry a local wife or marry a local husband, what do you think?" I don't think there is any good development potential for the combination of two rural people. ”
Jiang Xiaowen: "......" seems to have no way to continue. I didn't expect the other party to be such a person, but it is a kind of luck to be able to recognize the essence of the other party for the first time, and there is no need to waste energy later. Jiang Xiaowen smiled: "I think so too." ”
"I didn't want to come today, but my mother always urged me, and when I go back next time, you should know what to say, right?" Li Quan explained to Jiang Xiaowen.
Jiang Xiaowen nodded: "I understand, just say that there is no eye edge." ”
Li Quan cast a look at Jiang Xiaowen that you are so smart/interesting.
At this time, Li Quan's phone rang: "Hello manager, what's the matter?" …… Yes? Are you going to Tianwang Film and Television to talk about cooperation? …… Ok, good, good! I'll go get ready right away!! Li Quan almost didn't break his head.
After Li Quan's phone hung up, Li Quan waved his mobile phone at Jiang Xiaowen and signaled, "No way, I'm too busy." Let's talk again when we have time. By the way, the manager who just called me is a classmate of Mr. Wang, the boss of Tianwang Film and Television Group, and it can be said that he is a big man, and he may have the opportunity to introduce you to you in the future......"
Jiang Xiaowen looked wonderful, forced herself to burst into laughter, and said with a smile: "Okay." Thank you! ”
Li Quan waved his hand and pretended to be relaxed and said, "You're welcome." ”
At this point, there was nothing to talk about, and the two sat down for a while and left.
Just when the two were leaving, Jiang Xiaowen bumped into a sunny-looking young man, but instead of hitting anyone, she knocked herself over, and her bag and everything fell to the ground.
Jiang Xiaowen apologized again and again: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry." ””
Li Quan hesitated, pretended not to see it, and left directly.
The young man frowned at first after being hit, but after hesitating, he squatted down and picked it up for Jiang Xiaowen. Suddenly, he picked up a badge, looked at it, then looked at Jiang Xiaowen, and asked, "Are you from Tianwang Film and Television Group?" Your name is Jiang Xiaowen? ”
"Yes." Jiang Xiaowen nodded.
"Oh, then you are your boss's newly recruited secretary, my name is Yun Shaoqing, I am his friend, this is my business card."
――――――――――――――
The crew of "Avatar" is being formed in secret. Because the movie is relatively large, there are more people who need to be recruited. And the assistant director, Wang Shang is ready to recruit 3 to help himself, otherwise he can't gnaw on such a big movie, according to Wang Shang's ideals, he still hopes to recruit two Hollywood assistant directors with rich experience in science fiction.
It is worth mentioning that the language of Avatar is now slowly taking shape in the hands of several language professors.
In addition to the "Avatar" thing, the later production of "Amazing Demon Thieves" is almost completed, which is much shorter than the production time of those 3D movies.
Considering that there are too many blockbusters scheduled in the second half of this year, Wang Shang plans to release "Shocking Demon Thieves" in the first half of the year, and at the same time try to release it in the Southeast Asian market on Children's Day, while China and North America will be released after July.
The publicity team has rushed to Southeast Asian countries to promote "Amazing Demon Thieves".
With the news that "Shocking Demon Thieves" will be released first in Southeast Asia, many Chinese fans rioted: "Why is it no longer released in China first?" ”
"I want to see it sooner, ahhh
However, the plan set by Wang Shang was carefully thought out and weighed several times, and it was impossible to change it.
Time passes day by day, and the release date of "Fast and Furious 3" is gradually approaching. The warm-up of fans and movie theaters has also reached the final stage, and countless fans are looking forward to it.
In order to avoid large-scale queuing in movie theaters, the Internet began to sell tickets online in advance on April 27. In less than four hours on the day of ticket sales, major theaters across the country quickly sold 80% of movie tickets on May 1st!!
In the cinemas of those densely populated cities, all movie tickets are sold out within an hour! Tickets are hard to come by!!
In addition to "Shocking Demon Thieves", there are also Cao Lide's "Contract**" and a "Deadly Magic" movie about magic was released, which ignited the popularity of magic movies in advance.
The movie "Deadly Magic" is relatively simple because of the plot and scenes, so its production time is much shorter than that of "Shocking Demon Thieves", and it was released in advance.
And in the next two months, there will be three more movies about magic released one after another, namely "Master Thief", "The Great Magician", and "Magic Wars". They grabbed ahead of "Shocking Demon Thieves", and then wanted to use Wang Shang's "Shocking Demon Thieves" to increase the box office of their movies, and the abacus can be said to be playing well.
However, some attentive fans soon discovered a situation, most of the major theaters displayed on the Internet only had "Fast and Furious 3", "Contract**", and "Deadly Magic" during the May Day holiday, and other movies completely disappeared!!
This is a phenomenon that has never happened before!!
What's going on??
"Three new films, accounting for 90% of the country's film scheduling rate!!"
"And the 3D/2D versions of "Fast and Furious 3" occupy 56% of the film scheduling rate in cinemas across the country!! Break the Chinese film and television record! And the previous highest film scheduling rate was only 43%!! ”
"The 3D/2D scheduling rate of "Fast and Furious 2" is more than 3 times that of "Contract**" and "Deadly Magic"!!"
Many media have reported this special situation, which has attracted widespread attention in the industry.
At this time, Cao Lide can be said to be so angry that he was like thunder, when the schedule was set in March, he took a look at the release plan of the national film on May Day, and the blockbuster was zero, and he thought that "Contract**" could pick up a cheap price and get more film scheduling rate, but ......as a result, "Fast and Furious 3" suddenly appeared at the juncture, and even said that it would be released on Labor Day, and snatched a large number of films from "Contract**".
Originally, he was very confident in this movie, and he also gave Huayi's boss a military order.
What now? Looking at the film scheduling rate of only 18%, and then looking at the 56% film scheduling rate of "Fast and Furious 3", Cao Lide spurted out a mouthful of old blood.
At this time, Huayi's boss was talking to his secretary about this: "Did you say that this Tianwang Film and Television Group did it on purpose?" Why is it that every time we Huayi want to release a movie, the movie of Tianwang Film and Television jumps out to be released. ”
Secretary: "Probably not, after all, there is no conflict between our two companies." ”
Mr. Huayi thought about it and nodded: "Indeed." ”
The boss of Huayi finally called Wang Shang and told him about it.
"Wang Dong, here's how it goes......" Wang Shang told Song Tiantian as it was last time, and finally said, "I don't care about other film companies, but I don't allow others to extend despicable means to my employees." ”
Huayi CEO: "......, okay, I'll give you an explanation for this." ”
――――――――
Time flies, May 1, International Labor Day. The Chinese people once again happily ushered in another holiday.
And on this day, cinemas throughout China ushered in countless enthusiastic fans.
