In the days that followed, "The Sixth Sense" did a bit better at the North American box office, but it wasn't noticeable.

The opening weekend grossed $270,000, compared to $500,000 for the first seven days, an average of more than $90,000 per day.

For the first weekend box office of 270,000 US dollars, the box office data of 500,000 US dollars in the first seven days has increased a lot, most movies are at the peak of their first weekend, and the box office will only get less and less, and "The Sixth Sense" has achieved reverse growth.

It's just that the strength of this kind of reverse growth is too low.

Even if the box office of 90,000 US dollars is kept in the account every day in the future, it will only be less than 3 million box office in a month, and according to the current situation, it is really impossible to maintain a box office of 90,000 every day.

In the end, the box office can exceed a million dollars, which is quite good.

In fact, a Chinese film can get one million dollars in North America, which is already a good result, but people's expectations for Zhou Yan are too high.

And "The Sixth Sense" is too dazzling at the neon box office, which makes many people have some unrealistic reverie.

By this time, the box office of "The Sixth Sense" in North America seemed to have settled.

Those media who followed the trend, stepped on it for a while, found that the popularity decreased, and they didn't pay attention to it, and the reports about "The Sixth Sense" became very rare, only a few media, and they continued to update, but these media basically don't write any good words.

……

On December 31, in the CCTV Concert Hall, Zhou Yan had just finished explaining to the members of the orchestra backstage, and was about to go to the front to take a seat, when a black-clothed masked man suddenly jumped out in the middle of the road.

When the masked man jumped out, he also brought a gust of wind, mixed with a unique aroma, and Zhou Yan immediately smelled who it was.

He looked at Chen Hong, who was tightly covered, and pursed his lips, "Chen Daxing, you are wearing a good night clothes." ”

Seeing Zhou Yan recognize himself so quickly, Chen Hong was surprised, "How do you know it's me?" ”

"Pinching your fingers, where have you been in the past two days?"

Chen Hong lifted the mask on his face, revealing a red little face, "Just allow you not to see anyone every day, and you are not allowed to disappear for two days when I play?" ”

"Do you know your seat?"

"I don't know, so this isn't coming for you?"

"Six rows, twenty-three seats, you just go over."

"Where are you sitting?"

"I'll sit in the first row."

"Didn't the school leaders sit in the first row?"

"I'm barely a leader."

Chen Hong blinked, "What kind of leader are you?" ”

"I'm the head of the composition department."

"Number one?!"

“…… assistant. ”

Chen Hong couldn't help but roll her eyes, "Why are you talking and panting." ”

"Hurry up and find a spot, the show will start soon."

"Alright, I'll go."

Chen Hong pulled down the mask again and went to the front first.

Zhou Yan went directly to the front row.

Not only did he sit in the front row, but he also sat in the middle, with the school leaders and several department heads.

The first row, in addition to him, is at least the deputy head of the department.

Although Zhou Yan is only the assistant to the head of the department now, he has a special identity and great social influence, so the school deliberately arranged his position in the front.

Wu Zuqiang sat next to Zhou Yan, and while the performance had not yet started, he turned sideways and said to Zhou Yan, "I heard that you have been busy with new movies recently?" ”

Zhou Yan nodded, "It won't be long before the movie will start filming after the New Year, so I put more snacks on it during this time." ”

"I have no objection to you making movies, and at this pace, you can make a movie in a year or two, but I still hope that you can put more attention to music."

"The new movie also has a lot to do with music." Zhou Yan explained, wanting Wu Zuqiang to know that he was not completely unprofessional.

"Well, I heard. In fact, I also know what you think, compared to the traditional communication path, the movie is definitely better. But the production is so low, you guys have to prepare this movie for so long. ”

Wu Zuqiang glanced at the others next to him, and lowered his voice again, "Last year, the Piano Youth Orchestra toured outside, and its performance was very good, and the social response was also very good. The school attaches great importance to this area, but this year's performance of the orchestra is not very eye-catching. So I think you should put more thought into the orchestra. If you can do a foreign tour, it is good, if not, you can do a tour in China. ”

"In the summer, they also toured the mainland, and the response was quite good, and the tickets sold very well."

"That's just eating the old book, and the orchestra needs to go to the next level."

Zhou Yan probably understood what Wu Zuqiang meant, Zhou Yan taught relatively little in school, and the Piano Youth Orchestra could basically be said to account for most of his "performance".

If the Piano Youth Orchestra can perform well, then Zhou Yan's political achievements will naturally be outstanding.

Zhou Yan thought for a while and said, "In April and May next year, I took over a soundtrack job for an American film, and the film will be shot in the UK, and I should go to the UK at that time." I'll come back and see if I can arrange a couple of tours in the UK. ”

"Over there in the UK, how are a few of your albums selling?"

"Average."

Wu Zuqiang frowned, "You don't have to worry about the box office, there are still a lot of local Chinese." ”

"It's okay, even if you lose some money, it doesn't matter."

Wu Zuqiang shook his head, "Losing money to hold a concert is not a long-term solution. If you really can't do it, just make the scale smaller, there are many smaller concerts in Europe and the United States, and you don't need to bring too many people, just do some chamber music. ”

Zhou Yan nodded and said, "Don't worry, teacher, I will consider it." ”

Wu Zuqiang hummed, and then asked, "I heard Li Tao say, you want to hire him to your studio?" ”

"Yes, I just asked him for his opinion yesterday, and I haven't had time to ask you for advice yet."

Wu Zuqiang smiled, "You can't talk about asking me for advice on this matter." In your graduate students, apart from you, Li Tao has the highest talent, but he is ambitious and unwilling to settle down to do academics, otherwise, his academic achievements will not be low. ”

"Li Tao is a very romantic person."

Wu Zuqiang pulled the corners of his mouth, "Romance beautifies him, it should be said that he is a dissolute person." Speaking of which, his qualities are still very suitable for you to go to your studio, he has a creative passion, high output, and strong commerciality. ”

"That's what I thought, that's why I'm looking for him."

"Well, I've already told him, let him not have any psychological burden, just go to your studio."

"Rest assured, teacher, we won't ......"

Halfway through Zhou Yan's words, the host of the party walked on the stage, and Wu Zuqiang said, "Let's do this first, watch the party." ”

The party lasted two and a half hours, starting promptly at seven o'clock and ending at half past nine.

At the end of the show, Zhou Yan was stopped by the principal Liu Lin again.

He said something similar to Wu Zuqiang, meaning that he hoped that Zhou Yan could use more snacks on the orchestra.

"It is not easy for the Piano Youth Orchestra to grow step by step to today, compared to when it was first established, the current Piano Youth Orchestra has matured a lot, and it looks like a big orchestra. The more this happens, the more it can't be wasted, use your music and let them play it, we'll see. ”

Faced with the principal's expectations, Zhou Yan could only nod, "Principal, rest assured, I will have further plans for the orchestra next year." ”

"Since you have an idea, that's fine, I won't ask more, and you will be annoyed if you ask more."

"With the concern of the leaders, it's too late for me to be happy, how can I be annoyed, I really want to make progress."

Zhou Yan casually made a joke, but Liu Lin thought about it a little more, and he said with a smile, "I also want you to go further, but your teaching experience is too short, and you don't have a professional title, so it's not easy to arrange." ”

"If I can learn more from the leaders, it is already progress, and I don't expect anything else."

Liu Lin smiled and didn't continue to talk about it.

"Okay, you can get busy first."

"Headmaster walks slowly."

After the show, Zhou Yan went to chat with Fang Xiu and them for a while, and talked about the problem of tonight's performance.

Although it was only a performance at school, after the performance, Zhou Yan still had to talk to them if he had the opportunity, and only by constantly finding problems could he keep improving.

After chatting with Fang Xiu and them, Zhou Yan returned to the front and wanted to find Chen Hong, but found that Chen Hong had already left.

He then searched outside the concert hall and found no one.

Is this woman playing with herself and disappearing again?

Unable to find Chen Hong, Zhou Yan wandered around the school alone.

Every year on New Year's Eve, CCTV is very lively, and this year's school seems to be even more lively than last year.

In addition to the students of this school, there are many students from other schools who will also come here, especially students from Yenching Normal University, Yenching Institute of Technology and Yenching Jiaotong University, who like to come to CCTV to play.

On New Year's Eve, CCTV is much more interesting than these schools, and you can see music performances everywhere.

This year, the student union also set up a small platform downstairs in the piano room, got some audio equipment, and invited some students to perform on stage.

Although the space at the entrance of the piano room building is not large, it is no problem to accommodate hundreds or thousands of spectators.

After the school's New Year's Eve party, the performance here begins, which can be said to be seamless.

Standing at the door of the concert hall, you can hear the music coming from there.

Zhou Yan stood and listened for a while, then walked towards the door of the piano room building with his hands behind his back, wanting to join in the fun.

However, he hadn't walked a few steps before he reached the shade of a tree, and Chen Hong, dressed in black, appeared in front of Zhou Yan.

"Well, I opened this road, I planted this tree, if you want to live from here, leave the road to buy money."

Seeing Chen Hong's posture, Zhou Yan asked with a smile, "How much does it cost to buy road money?" ”

Chen Hong snapped his fingers and said, "Not much, a hundred oceans." ”

"A hundred oceans is too much, I don't have it on me."

"And how much do you have?"

"I don't have a dime on me, otherwise, you can arrest me back and be a boss."

Chen Hong pretended to look Zhou Yan up and down, "Look at your fine skin and tender meat, it's not bad, okay, go back with me, and be my ninety-ninth minister." ”

Zhou Yan stretched his hand forward, "Let's go, Madame take me back quickly." ”

"Okay, I'll tie you up."

Chen Hong took off the scarf around his neck and wanted to tie Zhou Yan.

However, as soon as she put the scarf on Zhou Yan's hand, Zhou Yan grabbed her hand with her backhand, and then Zhou Yan turned her hand casually and wrapped herself and Chen Hong's hand with the scarf.

Chen Hong should have been out for a while, her hands were a little cold, and after being held by Zhou Yan's wide and warm hand, she felt very comfortable, and she also held Zhou Yan's hand tightly.

The two of them clasped hands like this, and walked in the opposite direction of the piano room building along the shade of the tree, because there were too many people there.

Walking to the bottom of the dormitory building, the two sat down on a bench, and Chen Hong snuggled in Zhou Yan's arms.

After a long time, Chen Hong muttered, "You didn't find me just now, are you in a hurry?" ”

In the dim light, Zhou Yan saw that Chen Hong's eyes were full of expectation, as if he was waiting for him to give him an affirmative answer.

Zhou Yan found that Chen Hong looked at a very mature girl, and seemed to like to play the trick of a little girl falling in love.

"Hurry, I was so anxious that I almost went to the police."

"It's not serious." Chen Hong hammered Zhou Yan's chest, "If I can't find you, I will definitely go crazy in a hurry." At that time, in Yinchuan, you were so ruthless and left me there. ”

"How do I remember, you accused me at the time, and then turned around and left."

"That's your mistake."

"In the stadium, you took the initiative to kiss me, and I also remembered wrong?"

"Yes, why don't I remember?" Chen Hong played a scoundrel, "Anyway, I remember that you hugged me." ”

"Oh, woman."

Seeing Zhou Yan's helpless expression, Chen Hong looked proud, she leaned her head on Zhou Yan's shoulder, and looked at the street lamp opposite, as if she saw the moonlight in Yinchuan that night.

"There is a passage in your "Tree Cave", which says that when Yao wants to be in the tree hole, he always feels that there is a moon above his head, big and bright, as if he can reach it as soon as he stretches out his hand, and in his mind, he recalled all the moons he had seen before, and none of them were as round and bright as that round moon. Every time I read this paragraph, I always feel that for me, the moon is you. ”

Feeling Chen Hong's emotions, Zhou Yan hugged her tightly and said with a smile, "Yao Xiang's moon, he will never be able to catch it, but your moon is by your side." ”

Chen Hong also hugged Zhou Yan tightly, unwilling to let go.

Recently, she has always suffered from gains and losses, and she always feels that the moon around her will turn into a bubble at any time.

Sometimes she feels that she is a little humble like this, so when facing Zhou Yan, she is also very conflicted.

She wanted to devote herself to it, but she was afraid that Zhou Yan would not cherish it because it was too easy to get, so she would play with some caution, but every time she played "Missing", she became more anxious.

But now, snuggling up with Zhou Yan, she feels very relieved, at least Zhou Yan at this moment belongs to her completely.

After sitting on the bench for a while, Chen Hong proposed: "Let's also go to the door of the piano room building to watch the performance, it sounds very lively." ”

Zhou Yan nodded, "Yes, as long as you want to go." ”

Chen Hong stood up very simply, "Then let's go, my boss." (End of chapter)
