"You're going back to school a week early?"

After lunch, Qian Quan drove his father's car and took Ding Linlang to Wanghuai to watch a movie, and told her about returning to school early by the way.

"Yes, we have to play in March, and we will train in advance."

Ding Linlang thought for a while and said, "I still want to stay at home for a few more days and spend time with my parents and grandparents." ”

"Then you can come back when school starts, and I can pick you up then."

"Hmm."

The car soon arrived in Wanghuai, parked the car, and the two walked towards the cinema.

A total of six movies will be released during this year's Spring Festival, with themes including war, comedy, history and science fiction.

Of course, there is also the thunderous "Bear Infested" movie that is praised by industry insiders as the "wall of masterpieces".

The Spring Festival file has always been the most competitive schedule for various films.

Who can become the champion, who can become the dark horse, who has the highest rating, and who is the most showy, are all hot topics during the Spring Festival, and naturally they have become a major town for fans.

However, only the movie "Bear Infested" never actively participated in any controversy, and the publicity and distribution seemed unpretentious.

Silently selling tickets, silently seizing the film schedule, silently breaking 100 million at the box office, silently returning to the cost, silently making money, and silently becoming the top three box office of the Spring Festival......

Yes, almost every year during the Spring Festival, there will be a much-anticipated blockbuster, with big directors, big productions, big actors, and big traffic, and some are set a year in advance, filling the audience's expectations.

Then there will be a comedy that seems to be decent during the promotion period, and suddenly becomes a dark horse, counterattacking all the way, and finally becoming a super-blockbuster and becoming a box office champion.

After these two phenomenal films, there is the animated film.

As a result, whether the box office of the public films in the Spring Festival every year can surpass "Bear Infested" has become a watershed in measuring a movie.

"How much box office can "Bear Infested" have this year?" Entering the theater, Ding Linlang saw the propaganda sign of the bear infestation and asked.

"1 billion+ stable." Qian Quandao, "It can be said that it is one of the most successful IPs in China, and those movies with a box office twice as high as it may not make much money from it." ”

"Cost issues?" Ding Linlang said.

"Yes, although there is moisture in the statement, it is normal for Spring Festival movies to spend one or two hundred million yuan on publicity and marketing, not to mention the production cost."

"It's mainly to grab the film, right?"

Qian Quan nodded: "Unless the quality is particularly top-notch and happens to cause emotional resonance among the audience, the other movies with similar quality will be divided in terms of marketing and film scheduling."

"Only "Bear Infested" is a special case, his production plus publicity and distribution together may be less than 200 million, according to the triple coefficient of the box office, as long as there is 600 million box office, it can be profitable."

"So, in addition to roadshows and box office subsidies, what other aspects of publicity and distribution cost more money?"

"Advertising film editing and promotion, water army advertorials, and local advertising," Qian Quan said, pointing to the standing signs placed in the theater, "and those standing cards, these things look simple, but once the amount is up, it is all real money." ”

"Well, at least children don't have to buy advertorials from cartoons."

"The money for the star roadshow is also saved, and the car and horse expenses and five-star hotels are also a lot of money."

The two talked and bought a large bucket of popcorn and two glasses of Coke.

"This kind of series of animated films, there is also a potential function to cultivate audiences for the cinema of the future."

"Yes, let these children like to go to the cinema, and when they grow up, they will automatically choose the cinema to watch movies."

After sitting and chatting for a while, taking a group photo, their movie began to check in.

The movie they chose this time is a comedy, starring the king, about a story about an outdated star who is full of jokes in the constant dislocation, loses himself, and finally goes through various stories, and finally finds himself.

The movie is 130 minutes long, the viewing experience is good, and the little humor and small funny run through most of the movie, especially the perfect fit between the character played by the protagonist and the protagonist himself, which increases the credibility and humor of the film.

The film itself is still a very classic three-part structure:

The protagonist's life is unbalanced, and there is a gap between him and the past, the driving force of the first act;

The protagonist chases desires and goals in every possible way, and the chase in the second act is lost;

The protagonist is touched by something and discovers that sincerity/kindness/love is the true meaning of life, and the third act sublimates to the end.

"How does it feel?" Out of the theater, Qian Quan asked Ding Linlang.

"7.5 points."

"Hmm."

The two discussed the movie while picking up the car and going home.

In the evening, Ding Linlang made a rare circle of friends:

"On the first day of the Lunar New Year, watch a movie."

There are two photos, one is a photo of her and Qian Quan holding a movie ticket, and the other is a photo of her and Qian Quan.

Qian Quan immediately stole the picture and also posted a circle of friends:

"On the first day of the Lunar New Year, watch a movie."

……

In the second year of junior high school, Qian Wenlin and his parents went to his grandmother's house to visit relatives.

This is also an old tradition in their family.

When I was a child, my cousin would come to pick me up, and when I grew up, I went by myself.

Going to his grandmother's house to visit relatives is no different from before for Qian Quan.

But for Qian Wenlin and Yang Yuhua, there has been a subtle change in their minds.

In the past few months, their son has made a huge name and is now a big Internet celebrity with millions of followers.

To take such a son to relatives, to say that there is no sense of pride, it is a lie.

Sure enough, when the family of three arrived at their grandmother's house, they immediately became the focus of their relatives.

My grandparents are okay, and I am very relieved.

Uncles, aunts, aunts, cousins and sisters will inevitably come around to praise the compliments, group photos.

"When Stone was a child, I said that he grew up to be promising, look, he said." Aunt said.

"When I watched the video of the stone hitting the Japanese, I broke out in a cold sweat, I fought with him when I was a child, and I was afraid that he would find me to settle the account." Cousin said.

"There are many classmates in our school who are fans of Brother Shi, both boys and girls, and my best friend knows that Brother Shi is my cousin, and begged me to ask her for an autograph." Cousin said.

Qian Quan listened to everyone's story with a smile throughout the whole process, and occasionally lost no time in answering two sentences, which often made everyone laugh.

When you are particularly good, the comparison between relatives and neighbors will automatically disappear.

Qian Wenlin also experienced the feeling of raising his eyebrows in front of his father-in-law and mother-in-law, and when he ate at noon, the voice of chatting was more confident and calm than before.

My family has a son who has just grown up.

……

Songzhuang.

Song Xi was dressed as a bridesmaid and was hiding her shoes at this time.

Today her cousin got married and asked her to be a bridesmaid.

Now, the bride is dressed up and sits in her room waiting for the groom's motorcade to pick her up.

As a bridesmaid, she is responsible for the next task of embarrassing the groom and the groomsmen.

Everything is ready to go.

Just wait for the bridegroom to come to the door.

"When they knock on the door, you will symbolically block it, lest they rush too hard and get hurt."

The cousin explained.

"Well, let them stuff 10 red envelopes and open the door."

"Hmm."

Song Xi finally familiarized himself with the process of the game.

In fact, the games are quite simple, and the most difficult one is to let the groom and groomsmen pass with balloons around their necks.

Song Xi held a red balloon in his hand, sat on a chair and looked at his mobile phone and waited.

Then she saw that someone in the high school class group had posted a screenshot of Qian Quan and Ding Linlang's circle of friends.

It's the circle of friends they watched movies together.

"So, Qian Quan and Ding Linlang are officially announced?" Some classmates asked, and also gave Qian Quan and Ding Linlang.

Qian Quan is okay, and after a year, he will post so many moments.

Ding Linlang has not posted on Moments all year round, but now he suddenly posted a photo with Qian Quan and a photo of movie tickets, and the intention is self-evident.

After a while, Qian Quan replied with an expression of sunglasses, which was an acknowledgement.

Song Xi quit WeChat, and his mood instantly fell to the bottom.

She and Qian Quan have no possibility.

She didn't regret saying that to Qian Quan on the Bund, and she was even working hard for it.

However, the situation has changed dramatically beyond her imagination.

One is that Qian Quan suddenly became popular, so popular that even if she completed the plan, she couldn't afford his weight.

She promised to give the right to money in a few years, and now people can get it themselves!

The second is that Qian Quan and Ding Linlang are together.

Ding Linlang is the biggest enemy in her mind, she once thought that they had been friends for so many years, and since they have never been together, it will be difficult to be together in the future.

Unexpectedly, when the two went to a different place, their relationship was actually ...... spoiled.

Song Xi turned her head to look out the window, recalling in her mind the scene of her and Sun Shaokang's official announcement that day.

She dreamed many times later, and in the dream, Sun Shaokang's position was Qian Quan.

But.

The balloon that day had drifted too far.

She'll never have it again.
