On the night of the end of the Spring Festival Gala, Xu Ji and Sha Yetong continued to spend time in the capital.

However, on the first day of the Lunar New Year, the two flew back to Rongcheng directly.

Of course, most of the entire company is currently on holiday.

So the two didn't stay too long, and drove back to their hometown Yicheng.

The two didn't go home for the Chinese New Year last year, and this year is no different.

Tang Xianshu and Chen Ya actually have a lot of complaints about this.

Of course, the news that Xu Ji was temporarily appointed director spread all over the network.

Both of their parents also know about it and understand it better.

......

"Dad, I'm back!"

After opening the door, Xu Ji shouted as usual.

But no response was heard.

"Mom?"

Tang Xianshu and Xu Jiakang don't seem to be at home.

So after Xu Ji put down his luggage, he went out and knocked on the door of Sha Yetong's house.

It's just surprising that Sha Yetong's parents Sha Jingyuan and Xu Jiakang are also not there.

"I'll call and ask."

Sha Yetong said.

It didn't take long for the phone to be connected, and Chen Ya's voice came from inside.

"Okay, I got it."

Sha Yetong put down the mobile phone in his hand and replied helplessly:

"My parents went on a trip with yours."

"Said he thought we weren't going to come back."

Xu Ji didn't expect that there was no one at home when he came back this time.

Originally, Xu Ji and Sha Yetong planned to surprise them.

......

"I remember, my dad and your mom seem to be retired this year."

"I forgot about it."

Xu Ji said.

Originally, Xu Jiakang had reached retirement age, although he could still continue to work in the company.

But now that Xu Ji, as an only child, he also has his own career, and in the final analysis, he is not bad for money, so naturally there is no need to continue to be that little leader in the company.

As for Sha Jingyuan and Chen Ya, both of them are teachers, and the school's regulations on early retirement are met, and after the conditions are met, under the persuasion of Tang Xianshu, they simply retire.

That's why I was able to have such time to travel during the Spring Festival.

The main reason is that Xu Ji and Sha Yetong did not come back for the New Year, and there was really no need for the four of them to stay in Yicheng for the New Year.

"So what do we do now?"

Sha Yetong asked.

The main reason why the two returned to Yicheng was because of their parents.

Now that their parents are away from home, there is really no need for them to stay in their hometown.

However, Xu Ji still spoke:

"Since it is the New Year, although it is already the first day of the new year, the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner must also be made up."

"Just get familiar with the unfamiliar cooking skills."

Hearing this, Sha Yetong nodded and agreed, and at the same time replied with some excitement:

"I happened to watch a lot of cooking instructional videos some time ago......"

Before she could finish her words, she was stopped by Xu Ji.

"Don't!"

"How dare you bother to cook by yourself, I'll just come!"

Xu Ji thought of the sand specialties that Sha Yetong had researched before, and he shuddered for a while.

Determined to strangle Sha Yetong's idea of cooking in the cradle.

......

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, for many people, they will travel with their friends or family.

At this time, the cinema will also become a better activity.

This also makes the Spring Festival stall the highest cumulative schedule in the movie box office market in a year.

The Spring Festival file is also the first choice of many film crews with big ambitions when the work is released.

This Spring Festival, most of the departments of Tongji Entertainment, and even the crew that is still filming, are on vacation.

But because of the release during the Spring Festival, Pang Er and some of the main creators of the crew naturally couldn't rest completely.

Of course, there is no roadshow for the Spring Festival, so most of the time it is some publicity work.

Therefore, in addition to director Pang Er and some employees of the publicity department, in fact, major actors such as Ji Yiyang only need to cooperate with Weite and other aspects of publicity.

In addition, in fact, many blockbusters also choose to be released during the Spring Festival.

is like Phoenix Entertainment's super first-line director Zha Zhijun this time.

In addition, Smallpox Entertainment also has a sci-fi blockbuster co-produced with the United States that will also be released on the first day of the Lunar New Year.

Of course, there are also three or four medium-budget or low-budget films.

In terms of type, it can be regarded as a hundred flowers.

It's just that these films are relatively small in terms of the number of films.

Under such a premise, it seems that it can really participate in the competition for the Spring Festival box office management bureau.

It is also the movie of Tongji Entertainment and Phoenix, and smallpox.

Of course, the possibility of a dark horse in the Spring Festival stalls is not ruled out.

It's just that the likelihood of this is still relatively small.

After all, whether it is the investment cost of the film itself or the investment in publicity and distribution, it is not at the same level at all.

......

Sang Shaolong returned to his hometown for the New Year this time, thinking about spending more time with his parents.

I also consider whether to move back to my hometown in the future.

After all, his work is still relatively free, and there is no need to stay in a big city.

Of course, as a film critic, most of the time you can actually stay alone in the house and make videos.

But now as the first person in the entire G station film and television area, in addition to doing his own work of video, he still needs to participate in a lot of activities.

In big cities, there are more opportunities and more convenience.

For example, being able to get tickets for the premieres of some movies, as well as interviewing some film directors or leading actors.

Sang Shaolong is still hesitating.

It's just that now, there is something more irritating to him than this.

That is, since he came back, his parents don't know how many times they have urged him to get married.

Although he didn't answer positively, he was confused.

But it was clear that his parents didn't intend to let him go like that.

So on the first day of the Lunar New Year, he asked someone to arrange a blind date for him.

......

"Hello ......"

Of course, Sang Shaolong wanted to refuse, but the refusal was obviously useless, and he finally came to meet the blind date.

The other party seems to be a girl with a relatively gentle personality, and her appearance is not bad, although she is not very beautiful, but she is certainly not ugly.

It's just an ordinary person who doesn't seem to be too special.

However, Sang Shaolong himself stayed at home alone most of the time.

It's been a long time since I've spoken one-on-one with a girl.

And it's a blind date, which makes him feel embarrassed subconsciously.

"Listen to Auntie, are you an Internet celebrity?"

The girl asked with some curiosity.

In her opinion, Sang Shaolong does look a little faceless, and he shouldn't be a well-known big Internet celebrity.

Sang Shaolong actually still doesn't like this title.

"Actually, it's not really, I'm just making videos."

"Do you know Station G? I'm the up master of station G. ”

The girl is the same age as him, and she is also a senior user of station G, and after hearing this, she suddenly became interested.

"What's your Id's name?"

"I'm an old user of station G......"

To Sang Shaolong's surprise, this blind date was much better than he thought.

As the two of them became more common because of Station G.

"Are you Brother Long?"

After the girl heard the ID name of Sang Shaolong's "Brother Long Cinema", the whole person was also excited.

Obviously, with Sang Shaolong's current popularity, the number of more than 8 million fans is obviously not covered.

Even the girls on the blind date paid attention to him.

At the same time, I didn't expect that Sang Shaolong would have so many fans.

......

After the two went on a date and finished eating, they naturally began to discuss going to the movies together.

The girl asked with some interest, "Which one are we watching?" ”

"I feel that there are quite a lot of movies worth watching during this year's Spring Festival."

Sang Shaolong: "Then it's better to watch them all!" ”

"It's still early anyway."

Walking to the theater, Sang Shaolong's professional habits suddenly appeared.

At a time like the Spring Festival, Sang Shaolong will definitely not miss the movies released in this period recently.

even feels that it is completely normal to watch all the movies in the schedule in one day.

"Which one shall we go to see first?"

Girls are also a special case, if they were replaced by someone else, they would definitely subconsciously refuse when they heard Sang Shaolong's words.

Watching so many movies in a row, who can stand it.

But the girl herself is also a film and television fan, so she is very interested in this proposal.

......

"Actually, what I'm most interested in is, after all, it is produced by Tongji Entertainment, and Xu Ji also has basic guarantees as an editor."

"And in addition, Pang Er has made a lot of suspense dramas and movies before, and he still has a lot of experience."

"I feel that the quality of this movie is still the most basic guarantee."

Generally, at this time, out of politeness, it should be Sang Shaolong who asks which one the girl wants to watch.

But after all, it was in his own professional field, so Sang Shaolong still did not hesitate to say his advice.

"But if you watch this one at the beginning, it is estimated that you will not be able to watch the next few movies."

"So my suggestion is to put it until the end."

After the girl blew up her identity from Sang Shaolong, she became convinced of his words.

At this time, I didn't have any opinion on this proposal, and I agreed directly.

The two walked into the theater, and the first thing they saw was this one from Phoenix Entertainment.

Strictly speaking, in fact, the genre of this movie should be considered a fantasy adventure.

Before the movie started, Sang Shaolong kept talking to the girls about some information related to the movie.

"Director Zha Zhijun is a veteran super-first-line director."

"I used to make literary films, and I also won a lot of awards internationally."

"After joining Phoenix Entertainment, I began to slowly make commercial films, but there have been many movies with good box office."

"But there is a common problem, that is, the habits of literary film directors cannot be changed, and there are always some plots that seem unclear and even affect the narrative of the film."

"And this time it's a fantasy adventure theme, I'm afraid it's not so easy to shoot well."

"Although I have to admit it, young directors still have more advantages to shoot movies with such themes."

......

The girl listened to Sang Shaolong's introduction and nodded from time to time.

I'm afraid that before the blind date, neither of them expected that things would unfold like this in the end.

The two have realized since the beginning that they are now basically not talking about anything else, and they have been talking about movies or something.

Of course, the girls themselves are not disgusted.

It can be regarded as Sang Shaolong's luck, and he met a girl who also likes film and television by mistake.

Otherwise, it is estimated that after eating, there will be no follow-up to watch a movie together.

As the movie begins, the plot of this one gradually unfolds.

In fact, it's still a relatively old-fashioned plot.,The trio of the protagonist group discovers the desert treasure map left by the previous generation together.,And then start to go on a desert adventure together.,The story of encountering various adventures.。

However, the character and setting of this trio always make Sang Shaolong feel inexplicably familiar.

I quickly remembered, isn't this the gold-touching trio in the ghost blowing lamp?

The male and female protagonists, plus a male supporting actor who is responsible for gags.

And even the actor is just as fat as a fat man.

It's hard not to think about the previous ones.

But compared with the ghost blowing the lamp, this one is not much different in terms of plot setting or suspense.

Not to mention the lack of those ghosts and monsters in the ghost blowing lamp, the eye-opening variety of gods and ghosts and the strict setting endorsement.

Although the positioning is only a commercial film, it is still unqualified in the eyes of Sang Shaolong.

Of course, although he thinks so, the girl on the blind date is quite interested in watching the whole process.

The overall atmosphere of this movie is still relatively relaxed, and there is no particularly brain-burning part, plus the actors are all first-line actors, familiar faces.

As a family carnival movie during the Spring Festival, it is actually not completely unacceptable.

After all, not everyone is a professional film critic like Sang Shaolong, and there are many ordinary audiences, who come to the theater just to pass the time.

Of course, I don't think about it that much.

Plus the special effects in it are actually pretty good, although the rating on the petal network is not too high.

But the box office is not estimated to be a loss.

......

"What do you think?"

After the girl came out of the theater, she took the initiative to ask.

Sang Shaolong didn't hide his thoughts, and said it directly.

This surprised the girls as well.

"Really? Actually, I think it's pretty good. ”

"But it's reminiscent."

Immediately afterwards, the two went to smallpox and the sci-fi blockbuster co-produced by the American company.

Apocalyptic genre with special effects that look beautiful.

It's just that the plot is completely sparse, and when a group of young actors from smallpox appear on the same screen with some well-known actors from the United States, it will always make people feel awkward.

Of course, this time even the blind date girls found the movie boring.

Halfway through it, the girl began to get a little distracted.

Until it came out of the movie, in fact, the girl didn't know what the movie said, it seemed like the end of the world, and then the protagonist saved the world.

Immediately after, the two finally walked into the most anticipated movie together.

Tongji Entertainment's suspense-themed movie for the Spring Festival this time.
