103 Bright and bold
Yesterday was Chinese New Year's Eve, and the north wind blew for a day, and in the evening it fluttered and snowed.
Yu Dongqing's family sat in the warm main house, charcoal burning, eating the eight steamed dishes in Guanzhong made by his mother: yellow stewed chicken, small crispy meat, and steamed pork. Of course, I can't forget to watch the Spring Festival Gala, and send a message to my friends by the way.
First of all, I greeted each other with my father-in-law and mother-in-law, as well as my sister-in-law Mingmei in the family group, and also grabbed a red envelope, but the denomination was not very happy.
Then he greeted Liu Yimin and a group of old friends to each other, and also received calls from Wu Lan, Tang Guang and others, and Luo Yun also called from Xiangjiang to congratulate the New Year.
The director and producer of the crew of "Teacher, Hello" also called to greet each other, and director Wang Dongsheng's voice seemed very excited.
"Holly, according to the latest understanding, the pre-sale box office revenue in Maoyan has reached 20 million, and in several major theaters in the Yanjing area, our film scheduling rate can reach 5.9% tomorrow!"
"Congratulations, congratulations." Yu Dongqing laughed on the phone.
"It should be Tongxi, Tongxi" Wang Dongsheng smiled: "Thanks to your theme song, so many people want to watch it." ”
"Now that the audience has entered, whether the reputation in the back can jump depends on the quality of the film you make." Yu Dongqing said half-jokingly and half-seriously.
"As long as the audience goes in, I guarantee that they will not regret paying for it!" Wang Dongsheng changed his previous caution and appeared very confident.
Scold?
Yu Dongqing has calculated that the 5.9% film scheduling rate is not high for those so-called blockbusters, but for a small-budget film like "Hello Teacher", it is not low.
can be compared with the original cartoon "Bear Infested Metamorphosis" during the Spring Festival in that time and space, the final official film scheduling rate is about 6.5%, and the number of shows is about 59 per game of "Bear Infested Metamorphosis", with an average ticket price of 35 yuan, and the final box office income reached 600 million!
The film market size of the two time and space is almost the same, even if the average game and average ticket price of "Hello Teacher" are lower than "Bear Infested", as long as the word-of-mouth does not decline in the later stage, the box office should be no problem to reach 300 million.
The cost is less than 10 million, the box office is 300 million, and it is no wonder that Li Wan is so happy.
If so, is your first investment considered a success?
Yu Dongqing was very happy, and drank a few more glasses with his father, and finally got drunk and hazy.
The next morning, when the door opened, the snow began to clear, the sun showed a smiling face, and everywhere was covered in silver and extremely enchanting.
Yu Tongtong excitedly ran out of the yard to play with the children in the village to build snowmen and have snowball fights, Yu Dongqing had nothing to do, he took the DV after eating at noon, and was going to go to the village stage of the village committee compound to watch the third uncle and his gang sing, and shoot the film by the way.
But just now I heard the sound of gongs and drums not far away, and the mobile phone in my pocket rang, and I took it out and saw that it was a bright call, so I answered it.
He was just about to wish a happy New Year, but the first words from the other party made him dumbfounded.
"Brother-in-law, I'm almost at Huashan North Station by high-speed train, come and pick me up!"
"What? Are you in Huayin? ”
"yes, why don't you pick me up?"
"Mom and Dad know? Did they agree with you? ”
"Hee-hee, I sneaked out."
I'm @##¥%¥
Yu Dongqing was stunned, and he didn't know what to say.
"Brother-in-law, come quickly, don't let me get out of the car and wait for you." On the phone, Mingmei urged.
"Okay, I'll be right here." Yu Dongqing came to his senses, hung up the phone and walked back.
Walking on the road, I met my daughter Yu Tongtong, who was having a good time with a group of children, thought of something, pulled her aside and asked, "Tongtong, do you know that your aunt wants us here?" ”
The daughter didn't seem surprised at all, and said, "Yes, my aunt told me before leaving, saying that she would play with us, and that she wouldn't tell you." ”
I. I.
Yu Dongqing didn't want to blame her daughter for this, not to mention the New Year, so she had to go home alone.
It's a big deal for the sister-in-law to come over, and Yu Dongqing has to make it clear to her parents.
In the main room, the second elder was roasting on the fire, watching TV with melon seeds, and when he heard his son say that the sister of his deceased daughter-in-law was coming, the two pairs of eyes suddenly looked at him together.
"Dad, Mom, I didn't know she came secretly" Yu Dongqing explained the cause and effect in detail, expressing his innocent face.
"No, I'll call my father-in-law and mother-in-law, and then find a way to send her back." Yu Dongqing finally said.
That doesn't seem like a good fit either?
During the Chinese New Year, the girl came all the way alone, and you drove them away?
But after coming, what is the matter?
In the end, it was my father who made the final word:
"Since the girl is coming, she is a distinguished guest, let's treat it well, so as not to say that our Yu family is stingy."
"Holly, you go to your cousin to drive his car to pick up people, Feng Lan, clean up a side room, clean everything to be cleaned, and use new quilts and bedding!"
"Okay, I'll clean up." Liu Fenglan stood up, glanced at her son again, and went out with a slight sigh.
Yu Dongqing also hurried out and called his cousin Yu Liuqing, when he heard that Yu Dongqing was actually using a car to pick up his sister-in-law, he had an ambiguous look on his face.
"Cousin, your sister-in-law is good to you, and she came to you for the New Year."
"Yes, Liu Qing, don't be kidding, I have a headache."
"Okay, I won't say anything, the car will be parked in my yard, and you will have the car keys." Yu Liuqing took the key from the waistband of his pants and handed it to Yu Dongqing, but the next sentence made Yu Dongqing not know what to say.
"Cousin, bring your sister-in-law that day for us to see if she is as beautiful as your original sister-in-law."
Yu Dongqing hurried to his cousin's house, greeted his second uncle and aunt, and drove the white BYD straight to the county seat.
Huashan North Station is in the north of the county, not far from Beizhai Village, about less than 30 kilometers, half an hour's drive to arrive.
As soon as Yu Dongqing's car stopped in the parking space next to the station square, he saw that the passengers had already left the station, and one of them was wearing a red down jacket, a pink velvet hat, and a white scarf, and a girl was dragging a suitcase and carrying a travel bag, which was particularly eye-catching.
Yu Dongqing beckoned to her, smiled and went over to help carry the backpack.
"Happy New Year, brother-in-law!" Mingmei said happily.
"Happy New Year!" Yu Dongqing said a word, and helped the girl put the luggage in the trunk, and then sat in the cab again, and Mingmei sat in the passenger seat.
Seeing that Yu Dongqing didn't start the car, he urged: "Brother-in-law, drive." ”
"What's the hurry? Call your parents first. Yu Dongqing took out his mobile phone.
When the old man and mother-in-law were leisurely drinking tea at home in the courtyard, when they heard the call from Yu Dongqing, Mingmei secretly ran to Huayin, and was stunned for a long time.
In the end, Yu Dongqing said the detailed process, Mingmei picked up the microphone again and explained coquettishly, saying that she would rush back immediately after filming, and the two elders reluctantly agreed, and told them to pay attention to safety.
After hanging up the phone, the atmosphere in the room was a little dull.
Looking at his sullen wife, Ming Hanwen comforted: "Young people like to play, just let her go, with Holly, she won't be fine." ”
"But. . . Hey." Liu Huiyan didn't know what to say, and finally sighed faintly.
