Chapter 379

After thinking up the name of the magazine, Zhang Zilin was very excited, as if the fashion magazine had been established, and the fatigue from exercising in the office just now was gone, and she kept chatting with Zhu Zhu about the magazine.

Jiang Changsheng echoed a few words from time to time.

The three of them chatted in the office for a long time, and it wasn't until after 4 o'clock in the afternoon that Jiang Changsheng got up and said, "Let's go, we have a big family dinner tonight, go back early to prepare."

Since living in Jiuzhang No. 1, Zheng Shuangling has made a rule to hold a dinner party in the manor every month, as long as there are sisters in Yanjing, they will come.

Of course, some people who are busy outside will not force themselves if they cannot come back.

Even though Jiang Changsheng is filming outside and not in the manor, there are still monthly gatherings, which can be regarded as bonding.

The meeting time is generally in the first few days of the month.

Zhu Zhu and Zhang Zilin tidied up their clothes and followed Jiang Changsheng out of the office. Just when they came near the reception desk, they saw two people, a man and a woman, arguing with the reception desk.

The sister at the front desk said very politely: "I'm sorry sir, if you want to see Mr. Zhu, you must make an appointment in advance."

The young man was about 27 or [-] years old, he was wearing a hat, his eyes were not big, but his eyes were shining brightly, and he was still very imposing, he said: "Beauty, please be accommodating, please help me to call Mr. Zhu.

May I?Please, I have a very good movie and I want to show it to Mr. Zhu! "

The younger sister at the front desk looked distressed, she really wanted to help the two people in front of her, but the company has its own rules.

She continued: "Mr. Zhu doesn't care who arranges the film in theaters, you are looking for the wrong place here. Hey! Mr. Zhu! Mr. Jiang!"

The sister at the front desk noticed Jiang Changsheng and Zhu Zhu, and hurriedly greeted them.

The man turned his head immediately and also saw Jiang Changsheng and Zhu Zhu, and he walked over with surprise on his face.

"Hello, Mr. Jiang! Hello, Mr. Zhu! My name is Yi Han, and I am a director who graduated from Central Opera."

Zhu Zhu looked at Yi Han. He was wearing a black coat with a white shirt inside. Although it was not a famous brand, he was well-groomed.

Immediately the first impression was good.

This dress is more respectful, unlike some artistic directors who dress sloppily and feel that they are awesome.

She said politely: "Hi Director Yi, is there a movie you want to show in Dadi Cinemas? Come to my company tomorrow morning, I'm going to get off work today."

Zhu Zhu did not directly reject Yi Han. Although Zhu Zhu was in charge of finance at the Dadi Cinema, as Jiang Changsheng's agent at the cinema, she actually had a lot of power.

There is a faint meaning of being too emperor.

The well-informed people in the circle also know Zhu Zhu's special status, so in the past two years, many directors and producers have approached Zhu Zhu and asked her to help arrange the filming.

Zhu Zhu is also relatively free, and sometimes he will watch movies, and if he thinks the quality is good, he will recommend them to the Gwangju headquarters.

So Zhu Zhu guessed Yi Han's intention immediately.Because Yi Han was well dressed, Zhu Zhu had a good impression of him, so he decided to give him a chance.

But with Jiang Changsheng today, Zhu Zhu has a lover, so he doesn't have the heart to watch a movie, so he directly made an appointment for tomorrow morning.

Hearing Zhu Zhu's words, Yi Han was overjoyed, and he immediately said: "Thank you, Mr. Zhu, then I will come back tomorrow morning!"

This was the first time Jiang Changsheng encountered such a thing, and he immediately became interested, and asked, "What movie, does it have a promotional video or a script? Let me see."

The middle-aged woman next to Yi Han immediately took out a version of the tape from her bag, "Bring it, Mr. Jiang, here are the promotional videos, behind-the-scenes and original movie content."

When Zhu Zhu heard Jiang Changsheng's words, he immediately greeted the front desk and asked her to arrange a screening room.

Yi Han introduced: "Mr. Jiang, this is Mr. Zhang Yutong, the producer and producer of my film, and also my partner."

Zhang Yutong's body is fat, his skin is rough, and he has the shrewd air of a stock market. He doesn't look like a movie maker, but more like a small business owner.

Jiang Changsheng nodded and said, "Hello, Mr. Zhang, Director Yi, let's go and watch the movie first. I'm picky. If the movie is not good, I'll point it out on the spot."

Yi Han said proudly: "Although the conditions of my movie are poor and the filming is rough, it is definitely a good movie. I have confidence!"

Jiang Changsheng nodded: "I just feel that you have a sense of self-confidence, that's why I'm interested. Let's take a look at your works."

Several people came to the theater, Jiang Changsheng sat in the middle, Zhu Zhu and Zhang Zilin sat on either side of him, Yi Han and Zhang Yutong sat across from each other.

The movie's promotional video just started playing, and Jiang Changsheng immediately recognized the movie.

Looking at Childhood in the South, a magical film, was scored by more than 3 people in the previous life Douban, and got a high score of 9.3 points.In Douban, which favors foreign films and belittles domestic films, a domestic film scored a high score of 9.3 points, and the quality of the film can be imagined.

Jiang Changsheng had seen this movie in his previous life, and it told a series of stories about rural primary school teacher Yi Mingtang's process of running a kindergarten for left-behind children in rural areas due to practical problems.

This movie focuses on the current real problems facing China. After a large number of rural young adults went to work in the city, a large number of left-behind children were born.

Some of these left-behind children follow their grandparents, and some are even unattended.

In fact, the problems of left-behind children are many and complicated. This movie chooses one of the angles, which is education.

The focus is on the education of left-behind children.

The shots of this movie are very simple, the dialogue between the characters is also the dialect of the southern Jiangxi area, and even the actors are also cameos from local villagers, highlighting a truth.

It is this truth that can resonate with most audiences. Education, family, poverty, and children are things that Chinese people will always care about.

However, after the promotional video was released, neither Zhu Zhu nor Zhang Zilin dared to be interested, and they were not to blame. The promotional video was poorly done.

Jiang Changsheng said: "It's only 4:[-], there's still time, let's play the original movie directly."

Yi Han and Zhang Yutong noticed Zhu Zhu's expression after watching the promotional video. They thought there was no hope at first, but they didn't expect Jiang Changsheng to be willing to watch the original film, so they immediately cheered up again.

Jiang Changsheng sat in the theater and watched "Childhood Looking at the South" again. From the perspective of a professional, this movie does have many shortcomings.

There are flaws in many lens language and scenes in the movie, and there are some goofy shots, but the realism of the movie, and the emotions brought by this reality, are fierce and direct.

Jiang Changsheng had shed tears watching this film in his previous life, but when he watched it again this time, his eyes were still red.

Not only him, Zhu Zhu and Zhang Zilin also picked up tissues and quietly wiped their tears.Especially when the movie shows that the grandma who takes care of Tuo Tuo is a blind old man, this real hardship in the world makes Zhu Zhu sob directly.

After the movie was played, Jiang Changsheng said, "Director Yi, is your movie based on real people and real events?"

Yi Han nodded and said, "Yes, I also came across this story by accident, so I came up with the idea of ​​filming it."

Jiang Changsheng said: "This movie can be shown in Dadi theaters, and the number of films scheduled will not be less than 10%. For the specific schedule and situation, I will give you a call, and you go to Guangzhou to find the person in charge of the theater."

Yi Han was pleasantly surprised when he heard Jiang Changsheng's promise. He kept saying thank you, and Zhang Yutong followed suit.

I invested 30 yuan in the filming of childhood in the south, and there is no publicity fee. If I can get 10% of the filming in Dadi Cinema, I can easily pay back the cost.

Making money is also easy.

You must know that the movie My Childhood Looking at the South in my previous life has almost zero box office. After it was released, it was only a little splash in some film festivals, and ordinary audiences hardly paid attention to it.

It was later that the six princesses played this movie many times, coupled with the commentary from the Internet's self-media, that this movie gradually attracted people's attention.

Seeing Yi Han and Zhang Yutong's gratitude to Dade, Jiang Changsheng thought of how hard it is for these filmmakers who put their heart into making good works, so he called Sun Changfeng, the general manager of the theater, and told Sun Changfeng about the matter in front of them. .

On the other end of the phone, Sun Changfeng said: "Mr. Jiang, the theaters just don't have any popular movies recently, if possible, it would be best to release them soon.

By December, there are big hits such as Lust, Caution and Assembly, and the film schedule is very tight, and the movie My Childhood Looking South is not friendly. "

Jiang Changsheng asked Yi Han for his opinion. Of course, Yi Han can be released at any time, so he agreed with Sun Changfeng to release it directly the day after tomorrow, which is November 11th.

At that time, the Dadi Cinemas will give 15% of the film schedule. After all, the theaters have to do business. Childhood in the South is a good movie, but the theme is too heavy, and the rhythm of the film is still relatively slow and dull. In terms of box office, This kind of movie is not popular.

Being able to arrange 15% of the films was thanks to Jiang Changsheng's help.

Yi Han and Zhang Yutong also understood. After knowing the result, they both laughed from ear to ear.

The two of them didn't have any channels. They went to several theaters for the release of the movie, and all of them, big and small, were shut down.

When I came to Zhu Zhu, Yi Han listened to the advice of a senior in Yangxi, but I didn't expect it to succeed.

They knew that this success was all because of Jiang Changsheng.

Seeing the two of them, Jiang Changsheng wanted to thank them again, and immediately waved his hands and said, "Okay, I'll help you, just because this movie was well shot, nothing else.

I had to go home for dinner, so I left first. "

After speaking, he left the theater with Zhu Zhu and Zhang Zilin, and returned to the manor in a car.

After watching the movie, it was already past 6 o'clock, and there was a traffic jam on the way back to the manor, so it was already 7:15 when I got home, so I was late.

But everyone knew that Jiang Changsheng would attend the party tonight, so they waited patiently for him to come back.

Seeing Jiang Changsheng coming home, Zheng Shuangling glanced at Zhu Zhu and Zhang Zilin, and said with a smile, "Going to the environment again? Be careful next time."

Facing Zheng Shuangling, Zhu Zhu and Zhang Zilin have always been more convinced. Grandpa Zhang Zilin is still an old subordinate of Grandpa Zheng Shuangling.

So they were misunderstood, and they didn't explain it. Jiang Changsheng said: "I originally planned to come back early. I didn't want to meet a very interesting movie, so I finished watching the movie at the theater and then came back."

Zheng Shuangling asked about the film situation, and Jiang Changsheng explained a few words.

After he returned home and took the main seat, the entire family, Yingying and Yanyan, sat at the table.

Greeted by Zheng Shuangling, Liu Xiaoli and Chen Mang also sat at the long table, and this time there was a newcomer, Song Yi.
