Chapter 337: Embarrassment

"Thank you for making me realize that it is a truth that hair is long and knowledge is short."

"After the security check, you've found 2B!"

"You're the boss too? So which farm are you from? ”

Some sentences have been widely applied to life and turned into classics.

At this time, the media, which had not paid much attention to it, finally paid attention to it, and the reports suddenly increased.

Wang Yiming has less time to surf the Internet because of the nature of his work, and when he went to work today, he bought a copy of "Southern Entertainment News", and saw a news that interested him - "People in Embarrassment" was hilarious, and Lin Mu personally wrote the lines. ”

There are also a few small lines in the news.

——

Niu Geng: Is this to Changsha?

Waiter: Yes, this is where we arrived in Changsha

Niu Geng: So this is a standing ticket or a sitting ticket

Waiter: All the tickets are on the plane

Niu Geng: Where's the platform?

——

Niu Geng: You open the window to breathe.

Flight Attendant: I'm sorry sir, but the cabin is completely enclosed.

Niu Geng: Can the plane stop flying in the sky?

Li Chenggong: It was foggy and snowy. If you cancel your flight, you won't fly

Niu Geng: It would be nice if we had a foggy day.

Broadcast: Due to the heavy snow at Changsha Airport, the plane could not land, and now the plane is preparing to return, please understand.

Li Chenggong: Crow's mouth!

Wang Yiming watched the lines with relish, took the elevator all the way, and laughed from time to time, which attracted the attention of others inside the elevator.

Wang Yiming looked at the others. simply read the lines out, and the result was that the entire elevator was happy.

"Hi. Nabs. What movie and TV series is this line from? ”

"People are embarrassed! It seems to be a movie written by Lin Mu. It hasn't been released yet. Wang Yiming roared.

On December 10, the major theaters finally released a schedule for "People in Embarrassment". January 5th. It's a general schedule, and it's past Christmas. It was also New Year's Day.

The theater side obviously thinks that this movie is a rookie director. It's a rookie actor again. And the publicity is average, the marketing strategy is insufficient, and the promised ticket price is 20 yuan. Therefore, the expectations for this movie are not high, so a gap period was arranged, and the film scheduling rate is not high, only 10% at the beginning, 15 million, if it is replaced by a forest movie. A 40% scheduling rate is possible.

This kind of treatment obviously gave Xu Zheng, Wang Baoqiang and others a blow to the head. However, they did not dare to ask for help from the woods. And at this time, "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb" was completed.

No matter how the film is snubbed, post-production still can't be relaxed, and at the same time, the publicity work needs to be stepped up. When the Internet and newspapers were constantly making efforts, the Propaganda Department spent the last fund of "People in Embarrassment" of 2 million yuan, and launched the last propaganda method of "People in Embarrassment", posters and trailers were posted in cinemas and theaters with their own film scheduling plans.

Because the funds are small, good steel should be used on the cutting edge: the network promotion speed is fast, the scope is wide, and the cost is low; Cinema promotion is directly aimed at fans with movie consumption habits, and it is highly targeted. It works better.

The funds were quickly used up, and various theaters also posted posters and trailers one after another, attracting fans in the waiting hall of the cinema.

The fonts of "Lin Mu screenwriter" and "ticket price as low as 20 yuan" are very huge, and they have even begun to seize the shots of those actors. Very striking.

At this time, it has entered the Chinese New Year schedule, and selected films at home and abroad have begun to be released, so there are many more fans who go to the movies during this time than usual. This kind of publicity comes at a good time. "People in Embarrassment" is also imperceptibly immersed in the hearts of fans.

And "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb" also began to be promoted at this time.

On December 15, the Hollywood blockbuster "X-Files 2" suffered a Waterloo in China. The box office was only less than 30 million in the first week of release, which disappointed many fans.

December 20th. "Raiders of the Lost Ark 3" continued the slump of "X-Files 2", with a box office of only 40 million in four days of release. It has brought a lot of shadows to other Hollywood blockbusters.

Corresponding to it is "Seeing the Dragon and Unloading the Armor" released on December 21, although Liu Dehua resigned from the leading role, it achieved a box office of 50 million on the first day of release, which made those Hollywood movies tremble with anger, and in the following days, it was all the way to popularity, winning 1.8 billion box office in a week, becoming the single-week box office champion.

After the momentum of "Seeing the Dragon Unloading the Armor" weakened, another domestic suspense film "Bloody Soldiers" bravely relayed and won 60 million on the first day, far exceeding expectations, making its production company Huayi happy.

The subsequent foreign blockbusters "First Blood 4" and "Superman for All" followed suit, and finally saved some face for Hollywood films, and the box office exceeded 40 million on the first day.

At this time, the Huaxia film market seems to have entered the stage of madness, and the box office capacity and its rapid speed make all the filmmakers happy, and make the theater owners laugh and tremble.

After January 5th, the market boom brought by the Christmas and New Year's Day holidays slowly subsided, and "People in Embarrassment" was finally released. And its release was only exchanged for a phone call from Lin Mu, who just asked about the specific situation and continued to shoot "Transformers".

"Is Lin Dong losing confidence in this movie??" Xu Zheng thought with annoyance that he cared very much about Lin Mu's opinion, but unfortunately since he committed suicide, Lin Mu had not given any instructions.

What he didn't know was that after Lin Mu hung up the phone, he began to think about the publicity of "People in Embarrassment". The low cost of "People in Embarrassment" is destined to be impossible to bombard with overwhelming and carpet publicity, and the advertising of the Internet and theaters has done a good job, but yesterday Lin Mu thought of a way - Spring Festival.

Originally, Lin Mu didn't think of this, but a few days ago, he began to hear that the employees of the crew were talking about how painful and painful the Spring Festival was, and he suddenly realized that the Spring Festival in this time and space is also very exaggerated.

When it comes to the Spring Festival, every Chinese person is sighing, sad and complaining, and the mood can be described as extremely complicated. Although the country of China is now strong. is one of the two superpowers of the world, plus the European Union. It is also one of the three giants, but the Spring Festival has always plagued the Chinese people.

The Spring Festival is the first of its kind in China. The only one that holds and applied for a global patent, applied for a global cultural heritage, and applied for a ..................

The reason for the Spring Festival is that the population is large (a quarter of the world) and geography (the gap between the east and west of the habitable place) is the fundamental reason, which is objective and cannot be solved.

"Maybe we can make a fuss about that."

————————

At the Guangyue Hengdian Cinema, a couple walked into the cinema and looked around. I couldn't help but hesitate a little.

Today, because the movie theater has just passed New Year's Day and it is morning, it is less popular, and there are only eleven or twelve people in the waiting area.

The new couple didn't know if they were unfamiliar with the place, or they were a little nervous, or they didn't have a goal for the movie, so they looked away from the promotional poster and the movie trailer and hesitated for a long time. Nor was it certain what movie to watch.

"Hello? Is there any movie to introduce? The man straightened his clothes, looked at himself with little confidence, and finally mustered up the courage to walk to the ticket office.

"Hmm. The recent good-looking movies include "Seeing the Dragon and Unloading the Armor", "Hot Blood", "First Blood 4" and "Superman for All", well, there is also a just-released "People in Embarrassment". "In the eyes of men. I felt that the waiter's smile was so warm that I didn't feel any sting.

"Excuse me. How much does a movie ticket cost. When this question was asked, the man couldn't help but bow his head a little. I don't seem to be embarrassed.

"Hello, sir, at present, except for the ticket price of "People in Embarrassment", which is 20 yuan, all other movies are 50 yuan." The waiter seemed to see something, and hurriedly added, "The movie "People in Embarrassment" is good, it's funny, and its screenwriter is Lin Mu, it's worth watching." ”

The man was dazed: "Who is Lin Mu?" Then he realized that something was wrong, and he was in a hurry, and said with a red face, "Help me buy two copies of "People in Embarrassment", thank you." ”

After receiving the two movie tickets, the little couple felt excited and cheered, walked in the corner, held the movie tickets, and never got tired of watching them.

Not to mention the little couple who went to the cinema to watch a movie for the first time, Wang Yiming just rested today, so he was bored and brought his fourteen-year-old son to the cinema.

After buying two tickets for the movie "People in Embarrassment", I bought a pack of snacks and two glasses of water for my son.

After waiting for twenty minutes, "People in Embarrassment" can be entered. Wang Yiming, who entered the cinema, found that the dozen or so people sitting in the waiting hall just now were all going to "People in Embarrassment" and were walking into the theater with them.

"There are more people and they laugh more happily."

After entering the theater, I watched more than ten minutes of patch advertising, and the movie officially began. After all, it's not a well-known movie, so the audience won't be as full of expectations as movies like "Raiders of the Lost Ark", and several viewers are still talking quietly at the beginning of the movie.

The first thing that catches your eye is a dining table and a private room in a restaurant......

At this time, the audience's attention and gaze were drawn to the two-story screen.

"Knowing you, ...... in the dark"

As soon as the protagonist's words spoke, the audience began to laugh, and they knew to wait for that godly turning sentence.

As Li Chenggong finished the company's year-end summary, the camera switched to the picture of Niu Geng, an honest milkman who collected debts from his boss. His honest language accent and turtle-like appearance instantly conquered the audience present, especially when reading the IOU, a bunch of words that he didn't understand made many people laugh.

Then the subtitle pops up: Name: Niu Geng. Nickname: Cow Egg. Occupation: Senior milking worker of Happy Milk Factory.

The plot of the movie continues to advance, Li Chenggong and Niu Geng, two people who are far apart, meet in the airport, and then start a passionate love-hate journey.

Soon after, the hilarity struck.

When Niu Geng passed through the security check, he was stopped, and then he was furious with an iron pot and a knife: "This one is not allowed to be brought, and that one is not allowed to be brought." But why don't I bring this bottle of milk? ”

Under the obstruction of the security inspectors, Niu Geng finally made something that stunned everyone in the security hall and the audience: he drank a whole large bottle of all the milk......

Everyone in the security hall was nauseous and disgusting......

All the audience in the theater were nauseous and disgusting......

Li Chenggong: "Talent! ”

The audience also admired: "Awesome!! ”

The next plot did not disappoint the audience who had already started the hilarious state. Li Chenggong and Niu Geng continued to meet each other on a narrow and narrow road in the plane.

Niu Geng began to vomit after getting on the plane, but he continued to play his awesome attributes. swallowed the vomit back, and Li Chenggong and the audience were disgusted again.

Niu Geng: "Waiter, open the window to breathe." ”

Flight Attendant: "I'm sorry, sir, but the cabin is completely enclosed. ”

This part of the plot caused the audience to burst into laughter again, and although this trailer has been watched, they still can't help laughing at this time.

Because of Niu Geng's crow's mouth, the plane returned. And Li Chenggong, who has always been pampered, had to get on the train, and after experiencing the surging crowds and pushing me, he finally came to the crowded hard seat......

Outcome......

"Hey, boss! Why are you here? A familiar phrase. In an instant, it was revealed that the two good friends met again under the wheel of history.

Li Chenggong feels that he is a little sad person who has been played by fate, and he is about to cry ~~~

The haunted man!!

However, Li Chenggong's tragedy is not over, and the seats for the two to buy tickets are the same.

Niu Geng: "Hey, our two tickets are the same!! ”

The audience was delighted.

Li Chenggong was dumbfounded. In the end, it took a long time. bought a replacement ticket, and Li Chenggong used the identification method on the Internet to find out that his ticket was a fake ticket from a copycat, and his heart was suddenly complicated and difficult to understand.

The hard way home was just the beginning, when the train was halfway there. Abrupt stop.

Niu Geng guessed: "Shouldn't the front be collapsed?" ”

Announcement: "Passengers, please note that there is a landslide 1 km in front of the railway, and the train cannot move forward for the time being......"

Niu Geng was proud: "Hey, it's really a landslide?" ”

Li Chenggong was stunned: "Close your crow's mouth!" ”

Hahaha~~~~ The theater burst into laughter again.

The train was suspended, and everyone had to get off the train and find other means of transportation. And Li Chenggong got on a small bus, and met the demonic Niu Geng again!!

The two met passionately again......

When the audience saw this scene, they were already so happy that their stomachs hurt.

Then, the road home continued to be bumpy, and the front of the minibus collapsed, and the driver said calmly: "If you are unlucky, like me last time, it was blocked for two days and one night." ”

Li Chenggong suggested changing the trail, but he hit someone and had an accident, and in the end Niu Geng saved Li Chenggong.

The minibus caught fire, and the two got entangled all the way again, got on a tractor full of dry straw, and continued on the road. (To be continued.) )
