Hearing Xu Yi's words, Chu Ningning stopped and turned around.

She showed two dimples and asked with a smile:

"Please?"

"Of course, of course." Xu Yi hurriedly said: "You have done me such a big favor, I am reasonable, I want to invite you to dinner, right?" Place you pick. ”

Unexpectedly, when Chu Ningning heard this, he seemed to be a little disappointed:

"Just to repay me for helping you, that's why you invited me to dinner?"

Xu Yi was stunned: "Ah, otherwise? ”

Chu Ningning said: "I still have something to do tonight, next time." ”

After speaking, without waiting for Xu Yi to reply, he walked straight away.

Xu Yi frowned, and pondered: It shouldn't be, I think she was quite happy just now, how can you say that if you change your face, you will change your face? Women are too hard to handle, right?

Isn't it reasonable for me to repay her for helping me and inviting her to dinner?

There are no flaws, right?

Xu Yi never thought clearly about what the problem was.

At this moment, a faint voice appeared next to Xu Yi's ears:

"Tut-tut, this girl is really good!"

Xu Yi was startled and turned his head: "Lao Li? Are you stalking me? ”

"This is a great injustice!" Li Xun swore and said, "After you left, I had nothing to do, and I thought I would go to see a movie, so I chose the theater here at Raffles, and at 3:20, I didn't see you two in the cinema, and I only saw you when I came out." ”

It's the truth.

Li Xun was originally going to sleep again, but after thinking about it, today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, although it is not recommended to go far away, but he should go out for a while.

So I came here to watch a movie.

He really didn't think that Xu Yi actually bought this one.

Xu Yi looked at Li Xun suspiciously: "Really? ”

Li Xun's face is full of sincerity:

"I can swear."

Xu Yi shook his head and said with a smile: "On the first day of the Lunar New Year, what do you swear?" Forget it, I'll trust you. Let's go, go back. ”

"Boss, aren't you going to treat me to dinner?" Li Xun doesn't open which pot to mention.

Xu Yi glanced at Li Xun:

"No money."

"Don't!" Li Xun grabbed Xu Yi and said, "I invite you, I can invite you." But you have to tell me, who is that girl? ”

Xu Yi: "A friend. ”

Xu Yi replied, but he didn't seem to answer.

Li Xun said with a smile:

"Boss, do you want to know why the girl turned down your invitation to dinner?"

"You know?" Xu Yi was puzzled.

With Xu Yi's IQ, it is actually not difficult to guess this.

It's just that he didn't dare to think in that direction no matter what, so he was 108,000 miles away from the correct answer.

Seeing this, Li Xun immediately said:

"Let's go, let's go eat, talk while eating."

This is also a big city, in the hometown county, from the first day of the Lunar New Year to the third day of the Lunar New Year, there are basically no open shops on the street. If you want to eat, you can only go back and cook it yourself, or go to a relative's house to eat.

Xu Yi was pinched by Li Xun, and it happened to be time for dinner again, so he followed Li Xun to find a restaurant.

As soon as he sat down, Li Xun squeezed his eyebrows at Xu Yi and said:

"Boss, I know now, why don't you pay attention to Meng Xiling."

"The hostess is really nice!"

"The proprietress shouldn't be a person in our circle, look at the noodles."

Xu Yi frowned: "What boss lady, don't talk nonsense." ”

"It's already like this, you're still like that, is it interesting?" Li Xun saw through everything and said confidently: "Even if you are not the boss lady now, it will be a matter of time." ”

Xu Yi didn't want to talk to Li Xun about these things, so he turned around and passed them to Chu Ningning, what a loss.

He asked directly:

"Tell me why she turned down my dinner invitation?"

Li Xun obviously witnessed the whole conversation between the two outside the movie theater, so he said: "It's very simple, the purpose is wrong." ”

"You want to invite people to dinner to repay them for helping you."

"But judging from the demeanor of the hostess, she wants to eat with you, purely with you, and doesn't want to have anything to do with anything in return. The former is more like a gathering of friends and a date for couples; The latter is more of a social experience. ”

"I say that, boss, you understand, right?"

Xu Yi is not stupid, he was so little by Li Xun, and he immediately woke up.

It's just that he still doesn't understand one thing:

"That's not right."

"With Director Chu's style of acting, she must know that I invited her to dinner to repay her for helping me. And how can you be upset? ”

Li Xun sighed, and said a little nerve-wracking:

"Boss, you...... Alas, haven't you been in love much? ”

This hurts my self-esteem!

Xu Yi was serious, deliberately pinched his fingers and counted, and then said: "Just kidding, I can't count the love I've talked about on one hand!" ”

"Alright, I can see it. You really haven't talked about it. Li Xun made the final decision, and I don't know how to see it.

Xu Yi: "......"

Okay, you're right.

Li Xun immediately followed and began to analyze with Xu Yi, the woman said yes, but she didn't; If it's good, it's not good; It's not good to say casually; To say no, these are common mental activities.

After listening to this, Xu Yi felt that he had learned a lesson.

He looked at Li Xun and said puzzledly:

"Lao Li, where did you learn these things?"

"Learn?" Li Xun smiled, "These things are not taught in school." I also practice to learn the truth, and the more I have encountered, the more I will naturally have experience. ”

Xu Yi tried to ask, "So you mean, she likes me?" ”

Li Xun shook his head.

After thinking about it, based on his own limited observations, he deduced:

"Whether she likes you or not, I can't tell for the time being. But one thing is certain, the boss is willing to develop with you in her heart, as for the final stage of development, it is up to you. ”

Xu Yi calmed down in his heart, and then said:

"Forget it. Or when I retire, the studio's career is just improving, how can I have time for this? ”

Xu Yi did not change his plans.

At the age of thirty, I earned enough money to make a mess, and then I began to enjoy life.

Look everywhere, play everywhere, eat everywhere.

Of course, if at that time, it seems good to have her by your side.

The two finished dinner and took a stroll around Raffles. However, the two big men belong to the kind that doesn't like to go shopping, so when it was about to get dark, the two went directly back to the courtyard.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the box office on the first day of the Lunar New Year stalls gradually surfaced.

Although it has not yet reached 24 o'clock, judging from the current market trend, the ranking has basically been decided.

The first-day box office champion is a family comedy by the director.

With the blessing of two traffic comedy celebrities, the foundation of the box office is here, and it is almost the same.

However, the evaluation of this movie shows a polarizing trend, and those who like it naturally support it without hesitation; Those who don't like it say that this movie is insincere, the story is old-fashioned, and the laughter is vulgar, and the actors' performances are passable, otherwise there is really no need to spend this money to go to the cinema to watch this movie.

"Operation Red Sea" ranked fifth at the box office on the first day.

That is, among the seven Chinese New Year films, the Red Sea ranks third from the bottom.

This result is relatively poor compared to the production cost of the Red Sea.

The only consolation is:

The evaluation of the movie seems to be not bad, and the score has risen from 9.0 to 9.3 points on demand.

Many fans who have watched the movie have given high praise to the movie.

"It seems that the market doesn't pay much for movies with this theme!" Xu Yi is a little unstable, if the box office is really unsatisfactory, it is nothing for him to lose 100 million, but Zhong Guoliang was also pulled by Xu Yi to invest 100 million, which will make Xu Yi feel very sorry for Zhong Guoliang.

This is one of them.

The second is that Xu Yi is already planning to make a second movie with a similar theme.

If the market doesn't pay for it, then a movie that is destined to lose money will not be made?

This is the reason why Xu Yi is a little hesitant.

Playing movies, you can easily invest hundreds of millions, and you can't afford to lose.

Even if he can lose one or two films, Xu Yi can't keep losing.

So if the subject matter is not good, you must immediately change the track.

What's more, he and Guo Fan still have to engage in domestic science fiction, which is an extremely difficult problem. All rejoiced when it was done; If you don't get it right, it may be another loss-making transaction.

Xu Yi is now the boss, so he naturally has to consider these issues.

Li Xun sat next to Xu Yi and said with relief: "Boss, don't be so pessimistic, it's only the first day." The Chinese New Year file has just begun, and there are still 29 days to go, I watched our movie, just one word: good-looking! ”

The market has a lag, Xu Yi knows this.

He smiled and said to Li Xun:

"It's not pessimistic."

"It's just that I have to plan ahead and prepare for the next work."

"At present, almost all my arrangements and plans are based on the Red Sea explosion. So, if the box office results are not the same as I expected, then my next work will have to be adjusted in time. ”

Li Xun nodded: "That's right." ”

After finishing speaking, Li Xun was also emotional:

"It's all because of the people who made military action movies bad before, which has led to the fact that audiences are now a little desensitized to this type of movie."

"You can't blame anyone else." Xu Yi has his own opinion on this matter, "Anyway, others have taken the wrong path for us, and we won't be like that." ”

Neither noticed the change in the topic on social media.

That night, a lot of people who watched "Operation Red Sea" spontaneously went crazy about Amway's movie on their social accounts, and said that they would go to a second or even a third time.

"The king of the new year! I was dragged into the cinema by a friend, but I didn't expect the movie to be surprisingly good! I dare say it's one of the best military action movies I've ever seen in my life! ”

"A good movie with a tight plot, real scenes, and flesh and blood!"

"Amway a movie, "Operation Red Sea", the treasures who haven't seen it can rush, I have already tried the poison for you, it is fairy grass! And it's the best movie for this year's Chinese New Year! ”

"Let me take a look, there is still that little baby who didn't watch the Red Sea, it's really good-looking! It's generally good-looking, and I don't recommend it, but in this movie, you definitely don't lose money when you buy shares! ”

“……”

Similar to this tap water reputation, on the night of the first day of the new year, swept everyone's circle of friends.

Even on the hot search on social media, "Operation Red Sea" even quietly occupied an entry:

#国产军事动作片要崛起了

Inside is a film critic blogger, from a professional point of view, an analysis of the Red Sea.

From the dimensions of the storyline, actors' performances, director's camera movements, costumes, action design, etc., the movie "Operation Red Sea" was highly praised.

Of course, the film critic blogger did not mention the box office.

"Operation Red Sea" had a box office of 70 million on the first day, judging by the input-output ratio and box office experience, this is a movie that will definitely hit the streets.

Because of all movies, basically the first day of release is the peak of the box office.

It will continue to weaken in the future.

But no one expected that such an ordinary movie would not blossom in the cinema, but would shine on social media outside the cinema.

Public domain traffic is discussing this film.

Personal circle of friends in Amway's film.

The heat is quietly heating up.

Many people were imperceptibly affected by the topic, and unconsciously opened the second day of the Lunar New Year, ready to buy tickets to see it, is this movie really so good?

Therefore, the "Red Sea Operation" on the second day of the Lunar New Year was almost full!

Most of these people are young people, and when they see the hot search, they always have to come and join in the fun.

Even if you want to be different and refute that hot search, you have to watch the movie before you can refute it, right?

It's just that no one expected that this wave of fullness on the second day of the Lunar New Year would bring more tap water!

Word-of-mouth fermentation, a blockbuster!

The box office on the second day of the release of "Operation Red Sea" went to the early 100 million, ranking fourth!

Squeeze one by one!

……

West Hill Villa.

Chu Zhengchen and Chu Ningning just returned home after watching the movie.

"This kid is really good!" Chu Zhengchen couldn't help but comment on Xu Yilai, "He can really act in a movie, and besides, this movie is also good, evacuating overseas Chinese, rescuing compatriots, and demonstrating the quality of our Longguo soldiers!" ”

Chu Ningning responded lightly: "It's okay~"

Chu Zhengchen said very solemnly:

"How can this be okay?"

"I think this movie is much better than the other films that I don't know what to call it. When I went back, I suggested that our units should all go to see it. ”

In Chu Zhengchen's view, "Operation Red Sea" is not only a commercial chapter, but also a patriotic educational film.

That's a good thing.

After a pause, he heard Chu Zhengchen say again:

"This kid is celebrating the New Year in the capital, right?"

"Why didn't you know to come to me for a New Year's greeting?"

Chu Ningning was a little absent-minded: "Maybe he's also busy!" ”

"What can you be busy with during the New Year?" Chu Zhengchen expressed his anger at Chu Ningning's indifference, and he immediately said: "His parents are not there, this kid is alone in the capital, I'm afraid he won't get a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner." What else can you do? ”

Hearing this, for some reason, a certain string in Chu Ningning's heart was plucked.

How did you forget this stubble?

On Chinese New Year's Eve, what did Xu Yi eat?

Do you cook your own meals, or do you order takeout?

I knew it earlier...... I knew that I should have sent him some food, alas! (End of chapter)
