Jincheng, Taiyuan, Middle Street.

Jiufuzhuang is an old neighborhood in the old city, crowded with six-story buildings without elevators.

There are many elderly people in the community, and there are many children, but there are fewer young men and women.

The entrance is an old street, the asphalt road is in disrepair, potholes, and diagonally opposite is an elementary school.

Despite this, Jiangyang is full of fond memories of this place.

Compared with high-rise residential areas and small bungalows, the smell of fireworks here is stronger.

At the entrance of the community is a row of storefront houses, some selling fruits, some selling groceries, one of which is the happy noodle restaurant run by the mother and stepfather.

On the road, all year round, whether it's early in the morning or late at night, there are always vendors selling snacks.

She was originally a road sweeper, but she did the work of the chengguan part-time, and the obedience of a group of street vendors was obedient, so the chengguan was too lazy to bother to come over, and they were self-governing with their residents.

At eight o'clock in the morning, Jiang Wanqiu bought wild vegetables and local fruits and vegetables brought by farmers in the vegetable market, and walked back with light steps.

When I walked to the door of the community, I saw my husband Zheng Weimin at the door of the Happy Noodle Restaurant, locking the door with his waist.

"Closed today?" Jiang Wanqiu wondered in her heart and shouted from afar.

When the son came back the day before yesterday, the two husbands and wives discussed whether they would be closed for business, and Zhang Luo cooked a big meal and accompanied his son around Taiyuan City.

It's the third day today, so there's no need to hold it in your mouth.

To tell the truth, Jiang Wanqiu looked at Jiang Yang, who got up at noon every day, and felt uncomfortable in her heart, because of her own flesh and blood, she just couldn't bear it.

What a routine for early dead ghosts!

Jiang Wanqiu decided to endure it for another day, otherwise all electronic products would be confiscated at night.

She couldn't see her own son doing such a thing, how could she stay up late like this.

Zheng Weimin said happily: "Yangyang finally came back, I was busy in the store, and I always felt rude. The money is not bad for the past few days, I will give you a hand, let's let the children feel the warmth of the elders. ”

"Where is it so delicate, and you want two elders to serve him? gave him a face, "Jiang Wanqiu muttered."

However, she was knife-mouthed and tofu-hearted, and turned her head and chattered about asking her husband to refuel the car and take her son to a relative's vineyard in the afternoon.

On the other side, Jiang Yang slept dimly.

He and Li Jin were in a double row last night, playing games until two o'clock in the morning, lying down and brushing his mobile phone for a while, and only fell asleep at half past three.

Bang dang!

Bedroom doors wide open.

"Yang Zai, get up!" Jiang Wanqiu shouted, accompanied by the chirping and laughter of the little girl in the living room.

Jiang Yang yawned: "Who's outside?" ”

"Your cousin Rong Rong, brought a few of her classmates to see you," Jiang Wanqiu muttered, "The girl bought you flowers." ”

Jiang Yang: "......"

I'm not a zoo monkey!

Bring people to visit every day, endlessly!

"Hurry up and wash up," Jiang Wanqiu warned as he left: "Don't let the guests wait for a long time, be polite, otherwise be careful that I will slap you." ”

Jiang Yang snorted and sat on the bed in a daze.

The bedroom is on the third floor, and you can see the branches and leaves of the old plane tree, and the birds are chirping in unison.

There was even a pigeon wandering around the window.

This scene is completely different from the modern city style made of steel and concrete.

The sporadic sunlight sprinkled on the bed, and Jiang Yang held the head of the chicken nest and picked a piece of body in the suitcase at random and put it on his body.

"Brother, brother, get up quickly," Zhao Rong poked her head in and whispered.

Jiang Yang glared and shouted, "What's the hurry? This is the first wave of female classmates you've brought here? It's endless, huh? ”

For this lively and cheerful cousin, Jiang Yang is also helpless.

When she heard that she was back, she lined up her classmates in batches and brought them to her home to play.

Of course, nine out of ten female students come and raise money to buy roses and other gadgets.

The female students were polite, and Jiang Yang had to smile and accompany them, as if they were developing a conference at home, answering all kinds of strange questions in their little brains.

You can't really blow a bunch of student fans out of the house.

At least a bunch of friends who know how to restrain themselves than their mother Jiang Wanqiu, those aunts are really terrible, urging marriage when they meet, and asking about their emotional experiences.

"Brother, let me tell you, you have to seize the opportunity this time," Zhao Rong sneaked in, with an old-fashioned tone.

Jiang Yang was stunned: "What do you grasp?" ”

"That female classmate with bangs outside, the family is rich, if you-"

"Stop," Jiang Yang covered her mouth: "Your brother doesn't eat soft rice." Then arrange it for me, and I'll buy you an after-school tutoring class. ”

"Ahh

"Go watch TV with your classmates," Jiang Yang reprimanded.

"Oh, what a murderer!"

After sending Zhao Rong away, Jiang Yang came to the bathroom to wash, and just after brushing his teeth, he heard a noise at the door.

Come on, it's relatives and friends again, come to see the 'big star'.

……

In the evening, Jiang Yang, his mother and stepfather came back from a barbecue at a ten-year-old restaurant in the city park.

Walking on the road, Long Fan's phone called.

"Say!"

Jiang Yang ate a little bit, drank Fenjiu with his stepfather, his head was swollen, and his tone was slightly rushed.

Long Fan was stunned: "Are you busy?" I'll make a long story short. ”

"I'm not busy, I drank a little wine, and I'm a little dizzy," Jiang Yang said.

"Well, stay safe. I'm here to tell you that "Fifty Shades of Grey" is finalized, released on July 5, and distributed throughout Asia. ”

"I have done market research, because the response to the early publicity in the island country and Goryeo was particularly enthusiastic, Director Chu wanted to arrange for you and Ni Jia to shoot a promotional video."

"Moreover, the schedule is very urgent and rushed, and the release dates of various countries are not uniform. The earliest release in the island country was on July 1, and Goryeo and China were synchronized, and it was released on July 5. ”

Jiang Yang couldn't remember the front in his mind, and asked, "What do you mean, I have to go back to Gusu City tomorrow, or fly straight to the island country?" ”

Long Fan patiently replied: "No, you continue to stay at home, just to tell you." It's too late to publicize it now, but I will shoot several promotional videos for the island countries and Goryeo. ”

"Oh, that's good," Jiang Yang nodded.

Hanging up the phone, Jiang Yang thought for a while: "The island country is good, I understand, what kind of excitement is Gaoli making?" ”

At twelve o'clock in the morning, Jiang Yang finished washing, sat on the bed, and brushed Station B with a tablet.

After drinking some mung bean soup cooked by my mother, most of the alcohol subsided.

Coincidentally, there is an anchor movie he follows, Seventh Brother, uploaded a new video, titled "From the trailer, boldly predict the competition of the summer file".

This "Movie Seventh Brother" is obviously an industry insider, Jiang Yang has watched several of his movie reviews, and feels that he has something, so he has been chasing more.

"Hello, everyone, I'm your seventh brother."

"With the advent of the summer season, the domestic protection month will take effect immediately."

"What is Domestic Protection Month?"

"To put it simply, the National Film Administration considers from the perspective of supporting domestic films and discourages the introduction of overseas blockbusters."

"In other words, behind closed doors, everyone fights in the nest."

"We netizens don't have to complain too much about the domestic protection month, in fact, various countries will give certain policy protection in the early stage of the development of many industries."

"It's not terrible to fight in the nest, whoever loses is embarrassed."

"Today, Seventh Brother will boldly predict their ranking and final box office from the eight domestic movies that released trailers."

"The first thing to bear the brunt of is the much-anticipated "Great Cause of the Founding of the Army".

At this time, Jiang Yang saw the barrage floating across the screen, and he was correcting the idiom wording of Seventh Brother: Illiterate anchors, first of all, don't use it like this.

He smiled, the barrage was too easy to deceive.

"Movie Seventh Brother" has borne the brunt of the barrage for the seventh time.

"Just a glance at the cast, good guys, this is a pot of contemporary Chinese young actors. In addition to the starring lineup, the supporting roles are all well-known characters: Zhang Hanyu, Zhang Tianai, Guan Xiaotong, Tuesday Wei, etc., Seventh Brother will not give examples one by one. ”

"To get back to the point, the box office of "The Great Cause of the Founding of the Army" can refer to "The Great Cause of the Founding of the Party" and "The Great Cause of the Founding of the People's Republic of China". "The Great Cause of the Founding of the People's Republic" was the box office champion of domestic films that year. ”

"In recent years, more and more attention has been paid to cultural propaganda in China. The main theme movie is gradually on the rise. We used the ghost talent Xu Keda's "Outwitting Tiger Mountain" a few years ago as a benchmark to speculate on the box office of "The Great Cause of the Army". ”

"The box office of "Outwitting Tiger Mountain" was 880 million that year, and now that the scale of theaters has expanded, and the Internet giants have subsidized movie tickets heavily, we have reason to believe that "The Great Cause of the Army" can break one billion, and Seventh Brother predicts that its final box office will be 1.5 billion, which is well deserved, and it is the number one seed for the summer champion."

Jiang Yang didn't quite agree.

His reasons are also very sufficient, first of all, from the preparation of the director, Xu Ke crushed Liu Weiqiang.

Looking at the commercial film directors who are active in the mainland film industry today, Xu Ke can be described as a legend, an evergreen among commercial film directors, an iron-clad Xu Ke, and a director of flowing water.

From the earliest 90s "New Shu Mountain Swordsman", "Huang Feihong: Top Gun", "Smiling Proud Jianghu: Undefeated in the East", to the two "Di Renjie" series around 2010 and "Dragon Gate Flying Armor", "Outwitting Tiger Mountain" and so on.

Xu Ke proved his worth with real money.

However, his films are not just fast-food commercial films, his films are still circulating in the film and television media area.

As we all know, Xu Ke is very good at photographing women.

Guan Zhilin in "Huang Feihong", Lin Qingxia in "Undefeated in the East", Zhang Manyu in "New Dragon Gate Inn", Wang Zuxian in "Green Snake", Li Bing in "Di Renjie's Heavenly Empire", Zhou Xun in "Dragon Gate Flying Armor", etc., are all active in the film and television materials of Station B and other media.

Aside from the director, Jiang Yang also thinks that "The Great Cause of the Army" has strong limitations.

One of the major characteristics of this kind of main theme movie is that it has no focus and the story is very poor, which is a fatal flaw in commercial films.

He estimated that in "The Great Cause of the Founding of the Army", he will tell the historical facts in a glimpse of the past, and arrange a group of stars to make soy sauce, just like the Spring Festival Gala in the film industry, the family is happy and lively to show their faces, there is nothing to see, and the political significance is greater than the movie itself.

From the perspective of commercial films, such a movie can be described as a whole pee.

Although the public's enthusiasm for watching movies has skyrocketed in recent years, Jiang Yang feels that 1.5 billion is too exaggerated, and it may exceed the 880 million box office of "Outwitting Tiger Mountain", which burns high incense, and 1.5 billion is simply a dream.

"Speaking of "Wolf Warrior 2", everyone will definitely think of "Wolf Warrior 1" that brought fire to the Qingming file. No one could have imagined that Wu Whale, who disappeared in the entertainment industry, could burst out with such great energy. ”

"Brother Qi's impression of Wu Whale is limited to Ah Fei in "Xiao Li Flying Knife", and his impression of Yu Nan is even deeper. Yu Nan and Huang Bo's "Killing", and Xu Guangtou's "No Man's Land", Seventh Brother watched it over and over again. ”

"I don't know why, "Wolf Warrior 2" replaced Yu Nan and invited another mixed-race beauty. It is said that this mixed-race beauty also saved the scene, and originally invited another female star, and the female star temporarily increased the price, so she invited the current Miss Lu. ”

"Seventh Brother wondered, there are so many and there are not, can't you invite Yu Nan directly?! No one knows what Director Wu is thinking. ”

"As for the box office of "Wolf Warrior 2", Seventh Brother boldly predicted that it would be twice as much as "Wolf Warrior 1", 1.1 billion. Kind of second seed. ”

Jiang Yang has no objection to this, but let him predict that "The Great Cause of the Founding of the Army" is about 700 million, and "Wolf Warrior 2" is more than one billion, and he thinks that "Wolf Warrior 2" is more explosive than "The Great Cause of the Founding of the Army".

Next is "Three Lives, Three Worlds, Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms", which Seventh Brother would like to call the movie with the highest pedigree in history. Why pinch, you listen to Brother Qi. ”

"First of all, it is adapted from the popular female frequency, the TV series is starring Yang Tianwei, the ratings are explosive, the number of hits is over 100 million, and it has a strong fan base."

"Secondly, you look at the actors and actresses, An Fengqian and Yang Yang, to be honest, just looking at the two faces, your seventh sister-in-law said that they are willing to watch the movie twice. Seventh brother dares to be angry but doesn't dare to speak. ”

"The last one to watch the distributor of the movie, Ahri Pictures!"

"Ahri Entertainment released the first movie, so I asked you if you were afraid?"

"Considering that the ceiling of costume romance movies is too low, Brother Qi boldly predicts that the box office of "Three Lives" will be around 800 million."

When Jiang Yang heard this, he chuckled in his heart.

For this movie, he can't analyze it objectively, because it is clear that it and "Fifty Shades of Grey" are in a sense of competition.

What made him even more upset was that the barrage seemed to have exploded, and he threatened to go to the cinema for a second, third or even fourth movie to support his idol.

"It's the end of the calf!"

Absentmindedly, he listened to Brother Qi mention three more movies, and then, the familiar name sounded.

"Next, this movie, Brother Qi wants to watch it, Brother Qi not only wants to watch it, but also wants to take your seventh sister-in-law to watch it together. That's "Fifty Shades of Grey"! ”

Well?

Jiang Yang came to the spirit, he didn't expect that the head anchor with millions of fans would actually notice his work.

At this time, the barrage also increased significantly: "???" "Something is wrong with you!" "I'm a pervert who thinks you're perverted!" "Small leather whips and candles are sold in the front row."

"To say that this movie is the same as "Three Lives". are all handsome men and beautiful women, and they are all adapted from female frequencies. ”

"It's just that maybe young boys and girls love to watch "Three Lives", and we, greasy middle-aged couples, want to watch "Fifty Shades of Grey" even more."

To Jiang Yang's relief, the barrage floated through many questioning voices:

"Who said that? The second girl said that she took her girlfriends to watch "Fifty Shades of Grey" collectively";

"Brother Seventh is old, and we innocent little virgins also love to watch R-rated movies";

"I'm already in the first year of junior high school, not a primary school student, my aunt and grandmother will let me go today, and I have to support me by stealing my mother's ID card!"

Whether it's true or not, at least the momentum didn't lose too badly.

It's a bit of face-saving.

It can be seen that the crew is very attentive, the whole process is filmed in real time, and the private jets, helicopters, yachts, medieval castles, and high-end costumes of the male and female protagonists in the trailer are all true according to the identification of the seventh brother's eyes. The box office is 250 million. ”

Jiang Yang listened to it and said in his heart: The total cost of "Fifty Shades of Grey" is 120 million, and according to the triple theory, the total box office must be more than 360 million to recover the cost.

If the total box office is 250 million, wouldn't it be a blood loss?

But fortunately, it is distributed throughout Asia, and it is hoped that the otaku and housewives of the island country can explode and pull up the box office.

After the video of Brother Qi was finished, Jiang Yang watched the comments one by one below.

There are more than 5,000 comments, and he read all of them with more than 100 likes.

In general, the support of "Fifty Shades of Grey" is on par with "Three Lives".

This made Jiang Yang wonder.

I heard that there are many elementary school students at station B, maybe this is the hunting psychology and rebellious period!

After looking at the table below, it was half past three by accident.

Jiang Yang hurriedly turned off the tablet and slew.

……

Gusu City, July 2nd.

Jiang Yang was sleeping with Cuihua in his arms, and a hurried bell rang.

He touched his mobile phone to connect, and Long Fan's excited voice hit people's hearts.

For a moment, Jiang Yang felt that saliva could travel along the airwaves.

"Yang Zai, it's exploded! Exploded! "Fifty Shades of Grey" exploded at the box office in the island country! ”

"Director Chu shouted that you should come out immediately, immediately, and now!"

"Destination: Tokyo!"
