Saturday night.

It's a good time for couples to go on a date.

After a day of fun during the day, I have dinner in the evening, and then I went to watch a movie to see the time......

Oh roar, the dormitory is closed, just in time...... No, it's unfortunate.

As soon as I pulled out my pocket, I happened to bring my ID card as well...... It must not be used to use the Internet.

But today, the handsome men and women of Yanying did not have a romantic night out of school, but watched movies and watched movies at school.

Yanying's viewing hall.

A huge poster at the door attracted the attention of many people.

A large golden rod splits the poster in half from the middle, and the bottom of the rod is enclosed by a ring of gold hoops.

People in the Celestial Empire who have watched "Journey to the West" can recognize that this is a golden hoop stick and a golden hoop.

Underneath the golden hoop are half of Zhou Xingxing's face and half of a monkey's face, both with their eyes closed, their hands folded and praying sincerely.

But...... But it gives people a sad feeling.

His eyes were obscured by a long red sleeve.

The long sleeves extend to the red sun on the horizon, like clouds, and on top of these long sleeves, there are many figures.

At the bottom of the poster, the four big characters of "Journey to the West" dance with dragons, phoenixes and phoenixes.

The color of the poster is simple, with a lot of red and a small amount of gold.

It's eye-catching.

Almost everyone who enters the theater stops in front of the poster for a moment.

In the viewing hall, there are already many people seated.

Not all of them are Yanying's students, but there are also teachers, social personnel, a small number of media and film critics, but the number of students accounts for the vast majority.

The movie hasn't started yet, and the viewing hall is quite noisy, and everyone is talking about the content of the movie.

"Tian Tian, you have been on the crew when "Journey to the West" was filmed, you must know what this movie is about, tell us."

In the back of the audience, several girls were whispering.

"I don't know, the movies weren't shot in order."

Jing Tian shook her head, she really didn't know.

But thinking that many of the plots filmed in the movie are very funny, she said:

"It's supposed to be a comedy, it's fun."

This level of spoilers obviously doesn't please the little sisters.

"We also know it's a comedy, how good is Zhou Xingxing'......"

Zheng Shuang's mouth was curled, her eyes rolled, and she put it to Jing Tian's ear:

"Who do you say Senior Qin's girlfriend is, is it among these actors?"

Although Jing Tian is a little silly, he is not stupid, and he knows that this matter must not be said.

She already regretted accidentally blurting it out before.

Ambiguously:

"I also heard about it, I don't know who it is, I don't know if this news is really or not."

No matter what others ask, Jing Tian just said this.

The big blinking eyes seem to say, whether you believe it or not, I believe it anyway.

……

In the first row of the audience, only Qin Muchu and Zhou Xingxing, the main creators of "Journey to the West", sat here, and the rest of the actors were sitting in the second row.

And the remaining seats in the first row, except for the leaders of Yan Ying, are all investors in the film.

It stands to reason that Yan Ying, as the host, must have spoken more, but at this time, the right to speak is not in their hands, everyone quietly listens to the words of the man in the middle, and nods with a smile from time to time.

"I support the directors and actors from Hong Kong Island, including film companies, who come to the mainland and work together.

A few years ago, there were relevant documents to encourage the convergence and integration of the entertainment circles of the mainland and Hong Kong Island, but it has not been implemented, this cooperation is a good start, and I hope to keep it up and work together to make our Celestial Dynasty movies bigger and better. ”

made such a high-profile statement, but no one felt that it was bragging, because the person who said this was called Han Sanping.

And the identity of the person who listened to this is not simple, the big man on Hong Kong Island Xiang Huaqiang.

However, he didn't have a bit of a big man's demeanor at the moment, bowed his head and bent over, and nodded again and again:

"Yes, you're right."

After talking to Xiang Huaqiang, Han Sanping turned his gaze to Qin Muchu, who was chatting with Zhou Xingxing next door.

The smile on his face remained the same, but his tone was slightly different from when he spoke to Xiang Huaqiang just now......

It's more amiable and casual, less official, and less dignified.

"Xiao Qin."

Han Sanping patted Qin Muchu's arm.

"I'm sure I can't follow the publicity, I've got a kind of November ...... Including the illness that will die when you leave Yanjing in December, really, I'm not kidding. ”

Qin Muchu looked at Zhou Xingxing with a sad and helpless expression.

Suddenly heard Han Sanping's call, and immediately turned around.

"Third master, you say."

"The TV series with a big investment at the beginning of the year, why is there no movement now?"

Qin Muchu thought about it a little, and knew that Han Sanping was talking about "Ghost Blowing the Lantern".

Speaking of which, he still has some liver pain.

"Third master, don't you know about this?"

"What's going on? The script is stuck? ”

"That's not true, the script has been reviewed, the crew has been set up, and the actors have been selected...... Then, scattered. ”

"Scattered?" Han Sanping was surprised.

It's all at this stage, how can the crew disperse.

"Well, I received a message that this kind of theme is not recommended to be on the star, so it will be dispersed."

Qin Muchu gritted his teeth fiercely on "not recommended".

said that it is not recommended, but in fact, it is not given.

"And this? Aren't there still a few tomb robbery-themed films on the stars this year? Han Sanping said strangely.

Qin Muchu was even more helpless.

"I also asked, it was all set in advance, and it was made by other TV stations, so there will be no more after this wave is played."

Han Sanping opened his mouth, and he didn't know how to comfort Qin Muchu.

However, he still had some doubts, he didn't know this news, where did Qin Muchu know about it.

"Who are you listening to, is the news accurate?"

"Exactly, an elder on CCTV told me, although there is no clear regulation, but it was mentioned during the meeting." Qin Muchu replied.

CCTV's elder is Jin Yue, Qin Muchu originally wanted to sell "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" to CCTV after filming, but Jin Yue gave him such a reply.

It's good that Jin Yue said it, otherwise the drama will be filmed, and it will be dumbfounded if it can't be on the star.

Although Qin Muchu felt a pity in his heart, there was nothing he could do, so he had to leave this project in the era of online dramas.

Han Sanping heard Qin Muchu say this, and he didn't ask who it was.

Knowing that it was the news given by CCTV, it must be impossible.

In terms of TV, CCTV's status is similar to that of China Film in terms of movies.

……

While the two were chatting, the viewing hall gradually quieted down, and the movie was about to begin.

What story does "Journey to the West" tell?

Sun Wukong teamed up with the Bull Demon King to plan to eat Tang Seng, and wanted to kill Sun Wukong after being discovered by Guanyin, but Tang Seng was willing to exchange his life for Sun Wukong's life, and then Guanyin sent Sun Wukong to reincarnate five hundred years later, and after becoming a supreme treasure, he experienced the love and pain of the world and became the story of Sun Wukong again.

The familiar nonsensical style of Zhou, bursts of laughter rang out in the viewing hall from time to time, and everyone regarded it as a comedy with a lot of brains.

I didn't expect "Journey to the West" to be spoofed like this.

But as the plot progresses, the laughter begins to decrease, and the people who laugh gradually only young people, and the expressions of the slightly older ones are more solemn.

It's like...... It's not just comedy, they see the helplessness - the helplessness of the Supreme Treasure.

"There was once a sincere love in front of me, I didn't cherish it, and I regretted it when I lost it, and there is nothing more painful in the world than this."

The same line Supreme Treasure said twice, once when Zixia held his neck with a sword, and once before putting on the golden hoop.

The first time it was a lie, and he was in tears.

And the second time was extremely sincere, but it was just expressionless.

"If Heaven could give me a chance to do it all over again, I would say three words to that girl: I love you. If I had to put a deadline on this love, I would like it to be...... 10,000 years. ”

There was silence in the viewing hall.

Everyone was tugged at by this line.

Especially the young girls, their eyes are full of intoxication, and they seem to be immersed in the romance of this line.

And the older people, including film critics and media, reached the peak of helplessness and sadness in their hearts when they saw the Supreme Treasure wearing the golden hoop.

They saw not only the Supreme Treasure, but also themselves.

The choices faced by the Supreme Treasure have also happened to them.

You can't love you when you put on a golden hoop, and you can't save you when you put down a golden hoop.

From this moment, the tragedy was already doomed.

Zixia died, at the hands of Sun Wukong.

"He's like a dog."

Sun Wukong carried a stick on his back and left silently in the bustling crowd.

The film came to an abrupt end.

There was a long silence in the viewing hall.

This silence was so long that Qin Muchu couldn't help but turn around.

Don't you like both?

But the moment he turned around, thunderous applause broke out in the viewing hall.

Looking at the audience who applauded one by one, Qin Muchu was relieved.

When I looked back, I just wanted to celebrate with Zhou Xingxing, and found that Zhou Xingxing was still looking at the screen, and the loneliness in his eyes was unobstructed.

The palm of his hand paused and landed lightly on his shoulder and patted it.

For others it is a movie, but for Zhou Xingxing it is a memory.

Anyway, why is the relationship between the two friends surnamed Zhou not going well?

……

Screening, there must be questions.

Right now, a girl stood up and asked a question, quite young, probably a student of Yan Ying:

"I want to ask Director Zhou Xingxing, is it the reincarnation of Supreme Treasure and Zixia that embraced each other in the end of the city? Did they end up together? ”

Zhou Xingxing picked up the microphone and thought for a while:

"Hmm...... I hope that's what you said. ”

Although the girl didn't get a positive answer, Zhou Xingxing had no intention of continuing to speak, and she could only return the microphone.

The staff continued to look for the next person to ask questions, and there were still quite a few people who raised their hands to signal, and they were about to pick one, when suddenly the microphone in their hands was snatched away.

I just wanted to stare at it, and when I saw that it was a beautiful girl, my anger suddenly dissipated.

"The golden hoop that the Supreme Treasure put on in order to save Zixia, but in the end, wearing the golden hoop still failed to save Zixia, wasn't the golden hoop worn in vain?"

Qin Muchu squinted slightly, and saw clearly the girl standing up under the light.

Frost Girl.

Her eyes were a little red, and her face was still stained with tears, and she looked like she had just cried miserably.

There is more than one like her, and most of the girls in the theater are like this.

Zhou Xingxing was silent for a while, as if he was poked somewhere soft in his heart by Zheng Shuang's words.

Half a bitter smile:

"yes, you're right, in the end, it's all for nothing."

……

"Journey to the West" became popular and the discussion was overwhelming.

Classic lines such as "love you for 10,000 years", "my crush ......", "I guessed the ...... at the beginning", and "Do you need a reason to love someone......" can be seen everywhere on the Internet.

At first, the students who just watched the screening posted these lines in places such as Tieba and Tianya, and netizens felt that the lines were very feeling, so they forwarded them, and then naturally the source of the lines "Journey to the West" became popular.

Although the movie has not yet been officially released, the expectations of netizens are full, and everyone knows that there is a movie called "Journey to the West" that will be released at Christmas.

Having done this, it has been considered a success in terms of film promotion.

The rest is that the main creative teams other than screenwriters go to colleges and universities in various cities to screen and participate in variety shows on major TV stations to expand the publicity effect.

But Qin Muchu has entered a rare leisure time, and now he is completely in a state of being completely light, and he stays in the courtyard every day.

Listen to songs every day, go on the Internet, read gossip, and occasionally pay attention to the publicity progress of "Journey to the West".

In this way, a month passed unconsciously.

It's December 25th, Christmas.

Early in the morning, the doorbell of the courtyard rang, accompanied by a rhythmic shout:

"Qin Muchu, Qin Muchu, open the door, don't hide inside and keep quiet, I know you're at home!"

Opening the courtyard door, the girl who knocked on the door rushed in two steps and went straight to Qin Muchu's room, as familiar as if she had gone home.

Qin Muchu shook his head a little speechlessly and followed.

After entering the house and getting heated, Yang Mi took off the thick bulging down jacket, revealing the khaki stand-up collar sweater inside.

The sweater is very close to the body, outlining the choppy figure.

"The water is cold, go burn some hot ones."

Yang Mi raised her hand and lifted the kettle.

Qin Muchu had a black line on his face and didn't answer.

"Go, what are you doing?"

Yang Mi saw that Qin Muchu hadn't picked up the kettle for a long time, looked up at him, and shook the hand holding the kettle.

"How can you be so arrogant? Yes? Yang Xiaomi! ”

Qin Muchu didn't care about the kettle, his hand pinched Yang Mi's face directly, and pulled it.

came to his house early in the morning and instructed him to serve tea and pour water.

It's just too deceitful!

"Hey, I attended the premiere of "Journey to the West" last night, such a big star admires his face, what's wrong with drinking your sip of water?"

Yang Mi knocked away Qin Muchu's hand pinching his face, patted his chest with his neck, and looked at Qin Muchu's eyes with some blame-you are so stingy.

Qin Muchu pursed his lips, but still took the kettle to boil the water.

Yang Mi's girl has swelled a lot recently, and "Wang Zhaojun", as a CCTV drama, has brought her a lot of fame.

The number of "Yang Mi Bar" has skyrocketed, and the name of "costume beauty" has been confirmed.

There are also media who praise her as a powerful faction, and the rare acting skills of the new generation of actresses have stepped on a wave of Liu Xiqian by the way......

Yang Mi was humble at Liu Xiqian's side and encouraged her:

Come on, Sissi, your acting skills are also very good, but you haven't had a chance to prove yourself yet.

While chattering at Qin Muchu's place, his tail cocked to the sky.

"Xiao Qinzi, why didn't you go to the premiere last night?"

Yang Mi followed Qin Muchu, who was boiling water, to the kitchen, and saw that he was filling the kettle with water, so he stretched out his hand and dipped some water in his face.

"What am I going to do? As long as the director and actors are here, what kind of fun do I have as a screenwriter...... If you play me again, I'll splash you! ”

Qin Muchu picked up the kettle and made a gesture to splash her.

Yang Mi snorted coldly, took two steps back and didn't tease Qin Muchu again.

"You're just lazy and making excuses."

"Well, you're right."

Qin Muchu put the kettle on the stove, turned around and pushed Yang Mi's shoulder out of the kitchen after turning on the fire.

Sitting back on the couch, I revisited the news above and asked:

"What are you doing here early in the morning?"

"I'm not going to be able to look for you if it's okay?"

Yang Mi subconsciously choked, but quickly said the purpose of the trip:

"The company wants me to play "Dream of Red Mansions", do you think I can take this play?"

"Dream of Red Mansions?"

Qin Muchu looked away from the computer and frowned,

"You want to dive into your part?"

"You can't speak!"

Yang Mi gave Qin Muchu a look angrily, and then said:

"Now that the director of this play has been replaced by Sister Hong, there is no such thing."

"Has the investor changed? Have the actors of those investors replaced? ”

Two questions were directly asked to Yang Mi.

"It seems that the director team has just changed, the investors should not change, and the actors don't seem to have changed much......"

Yang Mi also knew what Qin Muchu meant, but she still had a hint of fantasy:

"But the director has become Sister Hong."

Qin Muchu shook his head:

"As long as the investor remains the same, those things will still not be less, and the director will become your boss, at most, he will protect you from being forced."

Yang Mi was silent, frowning and not speaking.

Qin Muchu also knew that Yang Mi didn't want to let go of this resource, after all, this was "Dream of Red Mansions", a top-level TV resource.

Then he asked:

"Did Director Li promise you to play any role?"

"No, Sister Hong said that she would reconsider the role candidate, but ...... If I act, it's not Lin Daiyu, but also Xue Baochai. ”

Yang Mi was like a weak woman in ancient times, and the back of her left hand gently slid across her right cheek, revealing a subtle smile.

It's beautiful, and that kind of temperament is in place.

It is......

Qin Muchu's gaze moved down to a place where he shouldn't be.

Sister Lin, a "sick beauty", should not have such an exaggerated pectoralis major muscle, but Xue Baochai is famous for her plump beauty, which may be suitable for Yang Mi.

"Look, I'm blinding you!"

Yang Mi instantly became fierce, and stretched out two fingers to make a gesture.

Qin Muchu touched his nose in embarrassment and withdrew his gaze.

Lately, it seems that I can't hold it down in front of beauty.

The young man is hot, he doesn't do handicrafts, and he doesn't have a girlfriend.

So, isn't it time to fall in love......

"My suggestion is not to act in "Dream of Red Mansions", if there are other good scripts that can be played."

Qin Muchu came back to his senses and made a summary.

"Hey, don't say it, I really have a film appointment."

Yang Mi arched next to Qin Muchu on the sofa:

"I met Mr. Cai of Tang Ren last night, and she invited me to play Tang Xuejian in "Sword and Fairy III".

I just don't know how the script is, Mr. Cai said that he sent the script to my email today, and I don't know if it was sent or not. ”

With that, Yang Mi stood up and squeezed Qin Muchu away from the computer:

"Let me take a look at my mailbox."

Qin Muchu reluctantly let go of a position and sat next to him.

However, when he heard that Tang Ren invited Yang Mi to play "Xiansan", he suggested Yang Mi to act in his heart.

After all, Tang Xuejian will be a very classic character created by Yang Mi.

"Ah, it's here, look at it, how about this script."

Yang Mi cheered and pulled Qin Muchu over again.

The script is not long, it is not complete, only the general character profile and plot direction, and then there are a few scenes that Tang Xue saw, and I finished reading it in about ten minutes.

"It's not bad, it's your true colors, "Xianyi" is so popular, "Xiansan" also has its own discussion, this drama should be able to explode." Qin Muchu made an evaluation.

"Okay, I'll think about it."

Yang Mi nodded.

In fact, when Qin Muchu said this, she already had a tendency in her heart.

But she's just an artist, and many times she doesn't have that much autonomy.

If you don't act in our company's play, you have to find a suitable reason to play in another company's play......

……

"Is the box office out, is it out?"

The hour hand on the wall slipped past twelve o'clock, and Yang Mi couldn't wait to ask.

"Not yet, it should be soon."

"I'll send a message when I come out."

In the living room, there are three women and one man.

It is Zeng Li, Zhou Huimin, Yang Mi and Qin Muchu.

There are many pots in the house, and although most of them do not bloom in winter, there are still some evergreen species that are full of greenery.

With such a decoration, it is naturally not the courtyard where Qin Muchu lives, this is Zeng Li's home.

It is also a courtyard house, which is much smaller than Qin Muchu's residence, with only one entry, three wings and a courtyard.

About 400 square meters.

It's a lot to live alone.

The yard is very well kept, and there are a lot of green plants, and you can see that the owner has put a lot of thought into it.

Tonight is the time when the box office of "Journey to the West" is announced on the first day, and several people get together and wait for the box office results.

The reason why I didn't stay in Qin Muchu's courtyard was because the box office came out after twelve o'clock in the evening, so I must be resting wherever I am.

Although Qin Muchu's courtyard is larger and more convenient to live in, only Qin Muchu's wing room in the courtyard is cleaned because he often lives in it.

The rest of the rooms have not been cleaned up for a long time, and if you want to live in it, you will inevitably have to spend a lot of effort to clean it.

Just sleep for one night, it's not worth the effort.

I simply came to Zeng Li's courtyard.

She has a small yard, but every room has been cleaned.

Qin Muchu's mobile phone suddenly shook, he picked it up and glanced at the message.

"The box office came out on the first day."

He looked at the three girls.

"How? How much? Yang Mi asked eagerly.

It's a bit of a meaning that the emperor is not in a hurry and the eunuch is in a hurry.

Zeng Li and Zhou Huimin, who participated in "Journey to the West", are very calm, but she, an "irrelevant person", is very concerned.

"It's pretty high, twenty-one million."

Qin Muchu said in a flat tone, but in exchange for Yang Mi's exclamation.

"Twenty-one million !!"

Yang Mi covered her mouth.

Although Zeng Li and Zhou Huimin didn't make a sound, they also clenched their fists excitedly.

Twenty-one million!

What is this concept?

To put it simply, another movie that broke 100 million yuan was born.

Even if it were a little more daring.

"Transformers 1" in July grossed 22 million on the first day, and finally received 281 million at the box office.

That "Journey to the West" ......

If "Journey to the West" is on the path of "The Gift of Room No. 7", and the box office is getting higher and higher day by day, then ......

It's impossible.

The publicity of "Journey to the West" can be described as overwhelming and unsparing, and it is not surprising that the box office on the first day is not the highest, if not the highest, it is about the same.

"Sister Li, Sister Huimin, congratulations!"

Yang Mi squinted her eyes with a smile, and hugged Zeng Li and Zhou Huimin, full of joy.

There are always people who break the atmosphere.

"Okay, the results are out, I'll go to sleep."

Qin Muchu stood up and yawned.

"It's that room, isn't it?"

He pointed to a room and asked Chong Zengli.

"Hey, twenty-one million! How come you didn't react at all! Yang Mi said indignantly.

There are only a few movies that break 100 million in the Celestial Empire.

And although Qin Muchu is not the director of this movie, as an investor in the movie, how much does it cost?

It doesn't matter if you make money, isn't this pretending?

Poverty made Yang Mi grit her teeth with hatred.

"I'm happy, haha."

Qin Muchu squeezed out a smile perfunctorily - only for a second.

"Journey to the West" has achieved such good results, is he happy?

Of course happy.

But when it comes to ecstasy, that's not all.

The reason why he asked Zhou Xingxing to make this movie was more for his feelings.

Such a classic movie, which is still worth recalling many years later, should appear in this world.

As for the box office......

Probably because he has high expectations for "Journey to the West", so he feels that no matter how high the box office results are, it is a matter of course.

The film deserves a high box office.

If this movie is made ten years later, Qin Muchu believes that it will be able to achieve a box office of billions.

But he could only keep these words in his heart and couldn't say them to others, so he asked Zeng Li again:

"It's that room, isn't it?"

"You ......"

Yang Mi wanted to say something, but was hugged by Zeng Li:

"It's not the first day you met him, how excited were you to see him when the box office of "The Gift of Room No. 7" came out last year?"

Yang Mi quieted down at this time.

Oh, yes.

Qin Muchu is such a person, if he just danced with his hands, it would not be him.

But.

Normal people should just dance with their hands.

"It's that room, the quilt covers are all new, whether you want the pillows to be high or low, and I'm putting the pillows low."

As he spoke, Zeng Li stood up and prepared to take Qin Muchu to the room in person.

But just as he wanted to move, he was stopped by Yang Mi.

"Just sleeping? Don't celebrate? So what are we going to do together? Sister Huimin, did you say? ”

"Well, yes."

Zhou Huimin nodded, and looked at Zeng Li again:

"Sister Li, I brought red wine, do you want to drink some of it, just drink it before going to bed for beauty."

"Do you drink red wine?"

Zeng Li was a little moved.

It's a bit ...... to go to bed right now It's not good.

It's like an athlete who wins first place and doesn't win an award.

"Okay, drink red wine, I'll open it!"

Yang Mi bounced up from the sofa, and Zhou Huimin also walked over.

Zeng Li saw this situation and did not say no.

Looking at Qin Muchu:

"Would you like a drink?"

"No need, I'm handsome enough, you can drink more beauty." Qin Muchu decisively refused.

Wine, since he knew that he couldn't drink enough, he basically couldn't touch it.

Zeng Li rolled his eyes, slapped Qin Muchu lightly with his palm, and said angrily:

"Stinky beauty!"

With that, he went to the kitchen to get a wine glass.

Yang Mi and Zhou Huimin came back with red wine, and when they heard what Qin Muchu said, they also scolded:

"Shameless."

"You're giving up on treatment."

As she spoke, Yang Mi stuffed the red wine into Qin Muchu's arms:

"Open up."

The cork of red wine is more difficult to pull, and it is a bit difficult for boys to open it, let alone girls.

Qin Muchu took the red wine, inserted the corkscrew on the cork, kept spinning, and with a "pop", the red wine was opened.

Zeng Li also brought the wine glass.

Four are goblets that specialize in drinking red wine.

Each person poured more than half a glass, and a bottle of red wine bottomed out.

"Congratulations on the first day of "Journey to the West" with 21 million! I wish the box office of "Journey to the West" all the way up, and Sister Lili and Sister Huimin will be very popular! ”

Yang Mi raised her glass.

Several people also clinked glasses with her.

Of course, I didn't drink it dry.

Yang Mi's three daughters chattered about sisterhood, and Qin Muchu listened to it beside her.

The more the three girls talked, the happier they became, and soon the red wine was drunk.

"And one more bottle!"

Zhou Huimin held the cup that he drank dry, his face slightly drunk.

"I'll get it!"

Yang Mi immediately got up.

Qin Muchu stretched out his hand and wanted to say enough, although he didn't know about red wine, he also heard that this thing had a lot of stamina.

But Yang Mi had already gone to get the wine.

"It's okay, at home, not outside, drink more."

Zeng Li saw Qin Muchu's concerns.

She leaned back on the sofa at this time, with a shallow smile on her face and happiness in her eyes.

Okay.

Qin Muchu thought about it too.

Anyway, it's not outside, and something can happen if you drink too much.
