I become a big star after I sleep

Chapter 49 The Wind Rises

A small town in Huizhou.

Qin Muchu jumped off the tricycle, took out his wallet and paid the uncle.

"Boy, what are you doing here? Traveling is not a good thing."

The uncle took the money and asked in half-baked Mandarin.

"I'm from here." Qin Muchu replied with a smile.

"Are you from here? Are you real? Not like it!"

The uncle looked at Qin Muchu and shook his head again and again.

Qin Muchu was out of tune with the small town no matter in terms of clothes or demeanor.

Qin Muchu didn't make any excuses. He looked at the back of the uncle riding the electric tricycle along the bumpy bluestone road with complicated eyes and was speechless for a long time.

Did he forget to give me money?I gave one hundred!

Sighing, he picked up his schoolbag, turned around and walked towards the town.

Qingshi Town.

The name of the town is engraved on a large stone tablet.

Qin Muchu came here once during the Chinese New Year, and within a few days, he was driven back to Yanjing by the dean reluctantly.

"Boy, you are someone who wants to do big things, don't waste time with me in the small town, go back and make a movie, I'll wait and see..."

The dean's words were still in my ears when we parted.

Qin Muchu, a counterfeit, was not found abnormal by the dean.

Maybe I discovered it, but it was only as if I went to a big city and gained knowledge, and then changed.

Walking to the entrance of the orphanage, although this is no longer an orphanage, the sign has not been removed.

The door was not closed, it was wide open.

There are only so many people in the small town, and everyone knows the basics, but they have managed to "not close their doors at night".

Qin Muchu walked into the yard, into the room, and put the bag on the table.

It used to be a cafeteria, but after the orphanage was withdrawn, it became a living room.

"Who?"

Shouts came from the courtyard, and Qin Muchu's movement was heard by the people in the courtyard.

Soon, an old man with gray temples came out.

"Little Qin?"

The old man seemed to be unable to believe his eyes, he stood there and shouted in a daze.

"It's me, Dean, I'm back, I'm coming back to show you a movie, the movie I made..."

……

"Eat more of this, it's good for your health."

"The stewed vegetables you love are gone, Lao Zhang's family has moved to the county, otherwise I can buy you some..."

The dean kept holding vegetables for Qin Muchu.

Qin Muchu never refused, even though he had already held on.

Seeing that Qin Muchu could eat so much, the dean smiled happily:
"Okay, I can eat it when I go to Yanjing, okay, the color of the water is better than before."

"By the way, why did you come back this time?"

asked the dean suddenly.

Qin Muchu put down his chopsticks. He told the dean to take him to the movies as soon as he saw him, but the dean didn't remember it at all.

He just thought that the dean was too happy to see him, and didn't pay attention to what he said.

"My first movie has been filmed and it has already been released. I want to take you to see it when I come back this time."

Qin Muchu looked at the dean.

This is the greatest wish of the former Qin Muchu, and it is also his greatest wish now.

"Movie? You made a movie? So fast?"

The dean was pleasantly surprised, but also a little unbelievable.

"Yes, it's too late today. Let's go tomorrow. We'll be in the town tomorrow. Isn't there a movie theater in the town? We'll watch it in the movie theater in the town tomorrow." Qin Muchu said.

"The cinema in the town doesn't work. It's a small theater that shows movies occasionally, but most of the time it's closed and doesn't sell tickets."

The dean shook his head.

"It's okay, don't worry, I brought the movie over and discuss it with the town government, it can be released."

Qin Muchu explained.

He had been to the movie theater in the town last time, so he naturally knew what was going on in that movie theater.

It's just a screening room, and it's very small.

It is not so much a movie theater as it is a "small screening theater".

So he was prepared and brought a copy of the movie.

"Okay, okay, that's good. I'll inform them and let them go to your movie tomorrow."

The dean was very happy and got up to go out.

"Dean, it's so late, let's notify tomorrow!"

Qin Muchu chased him out and shouted.

"Not too late, not too late!"

The dean has gone far, and it is hard to imagine that an old man in his 70s can have such agility.

……

Early the next morning.

The doors of the cinema opened, and it was full of people.

There are not enough seats, so everyone brought their own small benches.

The discussion was loud and whispered.

Watching movies is a rare thing in small towns.

It was the first time to watch a movie made by the town's own people.

Almost everyone in the town who could come came.

"Xiao Qin, I have seen this movie all over the Internet, and it has been widely circulated. I didn't expect that the director is from our Qingshi Town, and there is a big director in our town.

Old man, this is all because of your good teaching! "

The mayor enthusiastically took Qin Muchu's hand and refused to let go.

"It's all the children who work hard and are smart!"

The dean said modestly, but his face was full of uncontrollable pride.

He ran to the mayor's house last night and told about Qin Muchu's going to show a movie at the cinema tomorrow.

The old man has lived in the town for so many years, and has done good deeds all his life, which is quite prestigious.

Hearing that the film was made by the town's own people, the mayor immediately agreed.

He also offered to help and invite everyone to watch it together.

He has seen Qin Muchu before. As the mayor, he also visited the orphanage. Qin Muchu is the oldest child in the orphanage.

He is handsome, has a calmness that is different from other children, and is very sensible.

The news that Qin Muchu went to Yanjing to study art before spread all over the town.

These days, being able to get out of the small town is already big news, let alone going to the capital to be an artist.

……

The movie started, and the cinema gradually quieted down.

Two hours passed quickly, and when the movie ended, many people's eyes were red.

"Xiao Qin, you child, why did you have to be photographed dead by the child's father? How pitiful this child is without a father at such a young age."

A middle-aged woman walked up to Qin Muchu and complained.

"Aunt Wang, the movies are all fake. Besides, isn't the child adopted by the section chief?"

Qin Muchu explained with a smile.

This Aunt Wang lived next door to the orphanage. It was mentioned in her diary that Qin Muchu had eaten at her house many times as she watched Qin Muchu grow up.

"Hey, Auntie also knows it's all fake. Isn't this distressing? When you make movies in the future, you can't make such miserable movies anymore..."

Aunt Wang was still sobbing.

"Hey, hey, sure, sure!"

What else could Qin Muchu do, he could only agree with a smile.

Gradually, almost all the people in the cinema left.

Qin Muchu supported the dean on the way back:
"Dean, how is it? Is the movie good?"

The dean didn't speak after watching the movie, looking preoccupied.

Qin Muchu was a little nervous, even more nervous than at the premiere.

Compared to other people, he cared more about the old man's evaluation of the movie.

"Xiao Qin, you have grown up..."

The dean didn't talk about movies, he looked at Qin Muchu, reached out his hand, and wanted to touch Qin Muchu's head, but found that he couldn't reach it.

Qin Muchu hurriedly bowed his waist and lowered his head.

The dean smiled gratifiedly, and patted Qin Muchu's head.

"It's so fast. When you think about it, you were only this tall."

The dean stretched out his hand for a height comparison.

"In a blink of an eye, you're an adult."

"Children in the yard, I am most worried about you. You have been sensible since you were a child, taking care of your younger siblings and helping me with things."

The dean looked at Qin Muchu, his cloudy eyes were full of vicissitudes:
"But the more sensible you are, the more worried I am. I'm afraid that you will be wronged, so bear it yourself and don't tell me..."

"Dean..."

Qin Muchu's eyes turned red for some reason.

"Baby, don't cry, don't cry."

The dean wiped away the tears from the corners of Qin Muchu's eyes with his hands.

"Seeing your movie today, I feel relieved that you have grown up and are capable of taking care of yourself.

I'm old, and I know you want to make a movie for me to watch, but I'm afraid that I won't be able to wait until then. You take everything at ease, and who will enlighten you then? "

The dean said, his voice choked up.

Qin Muchu was taken to the orphanage by him when he was just over one year old, and he raised him for more than ten years, and he has long regarded him as his own grandson.

"Dean, don't talk nonsense, I will show you every movie in the future, and you have to keep seeing that I don't make any more."

The dean was happy and said with a smile:
"You child, you are talking nonsense! Then how many years do I have to live? I'm over 70, I should be content, seeing you become a talent, enough, enough..."

……

Two days later.

Qin Muchu put away his luggage sullenly.

The dean muttered from the side:
"Bring the bacon, you like to eat it; bring the sausage too, Yanjing doesn't have it..."

"Yanjing doesn't have it, so how about I stay and eat for a few more days?"

Qin Muchu stopped packing his luggage, and immediately got slapped by the dean.

"Nonsense, you are wasting time here, go back early and do your own thing."

The dean continued to stuff things into the bag.

Seeing that the dean was determined, Qin Muchu could only continue to pack his luggage.

Everything was packed. When I came there was only one backpack, but when I left, it was filled with two or three big bags.

These are small town specialties.

"Let's go, call me when you get to Yanjing."

The dean sent Qin Muchu to the door.

Aunt Wang next door went to work in the county today, and Qin Muchu happened to be riding an electric three-wheeler.

"Understood." Qin Muchu replied.

"By the way, Xiao Qin, there is something I haven't told you." The dean hesitated.

"what?"

"After a while, my son will pick me up to live with him, and I won't be in town anymore."

"what?"

When Qin Muchu got excited, he was about to jump out of the car.

"Don't come down, don't come down!"

The dean stopped him and continued:

"I'm getting old, my son is worried, so it's fine to pick me up to live with him."

"That……"

"Here, here is the address. I'll be here from now on."

Knowing what Qin Muchu was going to say, the dean handed him a note.

"okay, I get it."

Qin Muchu took the note and looked at it.

He felt relieved when the dean went to his son, it was better than living in an orphanage by himself and no one to take care of him.

"Xiao Qin, sit still, let's go. Old man, let's go!"

Aunt Wang is leaving.

"Oh, okay, ride slowly and pay attention to safety!" the dean instructed.

Then he said to Qin Muchu:

"Remember to call me when you arrive in Yanjing."

Qin Muchu nodded.

Three rounds start, and go to the distance, the town is getting farther and farther away...

……

Yanjing Siheyuan.

Qin Muchu hurried into the room and plugged in the phone.

On the plane, he realized that the phone was dead and turned off.

After charging for a while, the phone turns on.

"Ding ding ding ding..."

A series of sound prompts seemed to be about to explode.

Qin Muchu saw that there were more than 100 missed calls and hundreds of text messages.

The phone calls were basically made by Jiang Wen, Jiang Wu, and Yang Mi. Teacher Chen Daomin and several other actors in the movie also made two calls. Even Liu Xiqian and Huang Daming also called.

Qin Muchu was a little puzzled. Although he said that he had lost contact with him for two days, he told Jiang Wen to go back to his hometown before leaving. Why did he make this call as if he had disappeared.

After calling the dean to report that he was safe, he called Jiang Wen again.

As soon as the connection was made, Qin Muchu heard Jiang Wen's voice before he could speak.

Unlike in the past, today is particularly anxious.

"Qin Muchu? You kid went back to your hometown and was locked up? I'm going to call the police!"

"Uh, no way, I forgot to charge my phone. Isn't it only three days?"

"Only three days? Plus you lost contact for almost eighty hours that night!" Jiang Wen's voice was full of anger.

"Yo, your math is good enough, you can count fast!"

"Stop talking nonsense with me! Where are you now?"

"Siheyuan, I just arrived, so I'll call you back right now, it's interesting enough!"

"Then I have to thank you?"

"No, whoever we father and son will follow, as long as you want it!"

"Whoa, whoa"

There was a heavy gasp on the phone.

Qin Muchu was afraid of getting angry with his "old baby", so he hurriedly asked seriously:
"Why are you looking for me? Don't you know that I'm going back to my hometown?"

Hearing Qin Muchu change the subject, Jiang Wen's breathing was much calmer.

"Want to know?"

"Do not want to."

"Whoa, whoa"

"I want to know, I want to know, just tell me, I'm dying of anxiety."

Two seconds of silence.

"Fuck off!"

Jiang Wen hung up the phone.

Qin Muchu shook his head, it hurts his body to be so angry in his 40s.

After thinking about it, I called my second uncle Jiang Wu again.

"Hey, young master, this can be regarded as contacting you."

"Second Uncle, I forgot to charge my phone for the past two days. I just called Dad and asked him why he was in such a hurry to call and he didn't say anything. Why don't I ask you?" Qin Muchu replied.

Before Jiang Wu could speak, he heard a familiar female voice on the phone.

"Uncle Jiang, is that Qin Muchu?"

"Yang Mi? Second Uncle, is it Yang Mi? Why are you two together?"

Qin Muchu took away the phone and looked at the time, it was almost ten o'clock in the evening.

"It's Xiao Yang, we are still promoting the movie.

Haha, didn't brother tell you?Do you know how much the box office of our movie was on the first day? "Jiang Wu said impatiently.

"a lot of?"

"It's too much, 800 million! This is still the first day and we have fewer films!"

Jiang Wu's voice was very excited, almost roaring.

Qin Muchu was stunned.

800?
is it a lot?
In the previous life, the box office was hundreds of millions to billions at every turn. He remembered that the highest box office on the first day seemed to break a billion.

So how much is 800 million on the first day?
Before he could ask, Jiang Wu continued:

"The next day we came up with the film schedule, and the box office was 1500 million in a single day. Master, what the hell is 1500 million!"

It seems that there are a lot, and the second uncle who is "not martial" is swearing.

"Today, the theater has added more movies. I guess our box office will have to go up, young master, what the hell..."

Jiang Wu choked up excitedly.

"Oh, so second uncle, you are still promoting the movie?"

Qin Muchu was just worried that Jiang Wen would be angered by him, but now he was worried that his second uncle would get agitated directly, so he had to change the subject again.

"Yes! The box office is so good, we must strengthen the publicity, and now every TV station invites us to record programs, begging us to promote the movie!"

Jiang Wu's voice revealed happiness.

He doesn't care much about money, but a high box office is undoubtedly a recognition of the film and represents an honor.

"Okay, then you guys are busy, I'm going to sleep." Qin Muchu said.

He was very tired from various transfers and plane rides throughout the day.

"Sleep? Master, did you hear what I said! The box office is a big hit, can you still sleep?"

Jiang Wu suspected that there was something wrong with his ears.

"Uh, that's pretty good, congratulations..."

Qin Muchu faked a perfunctory smile, suddenly remembered that this was his own movie, and changed his words:

"No, it's the same joy, the same joy!"

There was silence on the phone for a few seconds.

After a while, I heard Jiang Wu speak:

"Master, you are really... awesome."

The phone hangs up.

Qin Muchu yawned, and made a rough calculation.

800 million + 1500 million = 2300 million.

According to the theory of triple box office cost recovery, that is to say, the film's 500 million cost has been recovered, and it has started to make money?

"Very good, I didn't bankrupt the old baby."

Qin Muchu nodded and went into the bathroom to wash up.

……

However, this night is destined to be a sleepless night for the entertainment industry. Countless people are waiting for "The Gift of Room No. [-]", a "sudden force" dark horse movie, to box office today.

800 million, 1500 million, the box office in just two days has exceeded the total box office of many movies in this era.

Usually movies have the highest box office on the first day, but this movie broke the rules and nearly doubled the box office on the second day.

On the third day, can the box office continue to grow?

The Chinese entertainment industry is getting windy...
