The Wind of China Entertainment 2005

Chapter 522 Records
The gap between social classes and the disparity between the rich and the poor often become a laughing stock inadvertently.

From worldview to subtle living habits, differences are reflected in everything.

No matter how elaborate the disguise is, in the eyes of people of this class, it is just a thin layer of paper that will be torn apart with a single poke.

At this carefully planned yet flawed dinner, Xiao Jiao and Lu Ming, the two "fake rich men", made quite a few fools of themselves.

Lu Ming seemed like a country bumpkin from the last century. He stuffed his napkin into his collar, drank the water used for washing hands, and even had a price tag hanging on his coat.

Gu Xiaojiao was not much better, and he kept eating to hide his inner panic.

Huang Xiaoming smiled contemptuously and asked, "Where is Mr. Lu employed?"

Lu Ming followed suit, repeating the lines that Gu Xiaojiao had prepared in advance, trying to maintain this fragile lie.

"I live in Dubai all year round. We have been together for three months and got married right away. We even bought the diamond ring."

"What a coincidence." Huang Xiaoming's smile became even bigger. He rested his elbows on the table and clasped his hands together. "I have some business in Dubai. Maybe we can do it in the future..."

"He is the CFO of a multinational company." Xiao Jiao was worried that he would be exposed, so he interrupted hastily.

Lu Ming was puzzled, but seeing that no one was surprised, he also sighed, "This era has developed so fast. In the 90s, who would have thought that we could ride UFOs and communicate with aliens now?"

Huang Xiaoming and Liu Xinyu stared at him, puzzled.

Gu Xiaojiao was extremely ashamed and let out an awkward laugh of "hehehe" for no apparent reason.

There was a huge joke at the banquet. Xiao Jiao felt very ashamed and broke down crying when he got home.

Lu Ming comforted him, saying that if you add a peanut and a piece of dried tofu together, they will taste like chicken. If you cut the steamed bun in half and sprinkle instant coffee in the middle, it will become a chocolate cake.

The resonance among the poor quietly brought the two closer.

The two chose to forget this unpleasant memory and lingered in bars in different time and space.

Inside the bar, the lights were dim. Gu Xiaojiao was wearing a black off-shoulder long dress. Her skin looked particularly fair and translucent under the light and shadow, like a pearl under the moonlight.

She held her chin up in a tipsy manner, her eyes blurred: "Am I beautiful with or without makeup?"

"Yeah." Lu Ming shyly avoided her gaze and replied softly, "You are the type with something to offer."

"Then do you want to eat some steamed buns?" She suddenly smiled playfully, and her cheeks flushed, as if she was ignited by the alcohol and her mood at the same time.

Lu Ming was dumbfounded, his eyes unconsciously moved to her chest. Yes, just one glance, because this guy would not look away after staring at her.

"Hey, little bun, hahaha." The audience below the stage laughed in a subtle and inappropriate way for children.

Yang Mi suppressed her smile and stared at Liu Shishi's breasts on the screen for a few seconds: "It's really not big. Lu Yuan has never eaten good food."

"Yes." Yuan Shanshan nodded naively to show her agreement.

Unexpectedly, Yang Mi glanced at her and said teasingly, "You two are equally matched."

Yuan Shanshan protested: "Mi Mi, if you continue like this, you will lose me forever."

"Is there anything wrong with telling the truth? You can also say that I am gifted, which is also true."

“Your feet stink!”

"you!"

"."

The movie continues, and Gu Xiaojiao unexpectedly meets Lu Shiyi, who looks exactly like Lu Ming, in the world of 2011.

Thus, the mystery of this accidental confusion of time and space was solved.

It turns out that after Lu Shiyi became a rich man, he began to fund scientists to study time travel.

Scientists have discovered a mysterious triangle and speculate that many disappeared objects may have entered another universe through such a space.

Lu Shiyi originally planned to go to the future to steal advanced technology and monopolize the market, but the plan went awry and he was accidentally connected to 1990, returning to the time before he became rich.

Lu Shiyi warned Gu Xiaojiao to leave Lu Ming, saying that their dilapidated apartment had been deformed and would soon disappear.

And he told her that there were two possibilities for Lu Ming's future. Either he would grow up to become Shi Yi according to the established trajectory, or he would deviate from the track due to Xiao Jiao's intervention and would eventually be swallowed up, and the world in 1990 would be destroyed.

In order to save Lu Ming, she agreed.

The day Gu Xiaojiao moved out of the apartment, Lu Ming was reluctant to let her go.

Wearing a borrowed suit with the label exposed, he pretended to be Lu Shiyi and sneaked into the villa to say his final goodbyes to Gu Xiaojiao.

Facing Gu Xiaojiao, Lu Ming tried hard to suppress his inner grief.

He tried his best to use Lu Shiyi's calm tone and reminded him, "You live alone, so you must pay attention to your safety."

The pager from 1990 in his pocket rang at an inopportune moment. He hung up in a panic and continued talking pretending to be calm.

"Also, be careful with gas water heaters. Remember to open the windows. If there is no ventilation, it is easy to get photos taken inside when taking a shower."

As soon as he finished speaking, he realized what he had said and hurriedly corrected himself: "It's easy to get dizzy when taking a shower."

Gu Xiaojiao slowly stood up from the sofa, his eyes fell on the label on the collar of Lu Ming's suit, his expression was complicated, his lips were tightly bitten, and his eyes were red.

When Lu Ming turned around, their eyes met, and all their emotions burst out at this moment.

She threw herself into his arms desperately, and they hugged each other affectionately, followed by a deep kiss.

After a while, the kiss stopped.

Gu Xiaojiao had tears in her eyes and her voice was choked with sobs: "You have to be good, take good care of yourself, smile more often, I like the way you smile, and when you were drawing, turn up the light, don't do it to save money, woo woo. You became nearsighted later."

She cried as she spoke, tears falling like beads from a broken string, unable to control herself.

Lu Ming was reluctant but had no choice but to turn around and leave. Only Gu Xiaojiao was left in the villa, squatting on the ground. Background music slowly played, sad and beautiful.

She hugged her arms tightly, her shoulders trembling, and she whimpered like a little animal abandoned by the world.

"Woo."

In the cinema, this scene touched the hearts of countless women, and the girls burst into tears.

The male compatriots looked at their girlfriends with red noses and tearful eyes, and hugged them in their arms and comforted them in low voices.

At the same time, he did not forget to cast a knowing look to the strangers around him who were in a similar situation.

Buddy, I understand you, women are really annoying!

"It was supposed to be a romantic comedy, what a lie, woooo," Yuan Shanshan complained while wiping her tears.

Yang Mi raised her head and tried hard to let go of the worthless tears.

In addition to sadness, she suddenly felt a strong sense of crisis.

In the scene in the villa just now, Liu Shishi's performance can definitely be praised as outstanding.

Suddenly, the sound of a pager from 1990 was heard. Gu Xiaojiao's expression froze instantly. A look of confusion flashed across his eyes, and then turned sharp, locking onto the other party.

Then, when Lu Ming turned his back to her, the label on his suit that had not been removed yet was exposed.

She was finally sure that the silly man in front of her was Lu Ming, not Lu Shiyi. At that moment, she smiled with relief and adjusted her expression. She didn't want to expose him directly, but she couldn't control her emotions. In the end, she cried and murmured goodbye in pain.

This scene surprised Yang Mi and also made her feel empathy.

When filming Chinese Paladin III, the two had a great time together, and for a while they were even best friends who could talk about anything.

She has always had a clear understanding of Liu Shishi's acting skills.

He is not from a professional background, has average acting talent, does not understand theoretical knowledge, and is good at expressing his true feelings when filming, so he is more suitable for playing roles that are highly compatible with himself.

She was lucky to play Ruoxi in "Startling by Each Step", which seemed tailor-made for her. If she had played someone else, it would not be impossible to play the role, but it would have been very different. Therefore, in Yang Mi's heart, there is always a subtle emotion.

She believed that the reason why Liu Shishi became popular and surpassed herself with the role of Ruoxi was simply because of Lu Yuan's support.

But the scene just now made her think.

Liu Shishi seems to be quietly transforming, and she looks like she has some acting talent.

On second thought, it must be an illusion. It's impossible, absolutely impossible.

November 2, 15 a.m.

On the second day of Valentine's Day, the dawn had not yet appeared, and outside the window, the night and the morning light intertwined into a chaos.

Liu Shishi came out of the bathroom, washed her face, brushed her teeth, yawned lazily, and got back into bed.

She went to bed late yesterday and woke up early.

This person, if he has something hidden in his heart, he will toss and turn at night and can't sleep well.

After entering the first-line, "Time Travel" is the first movie she starred in, and it is also the debut work of the directorial career of Stinky Man. Its importance is self-evident.

Although Lu Yuan always uses box office returns as a humble expression in public.

But she understood him. It was not enough to just get back the investment. She wanted more than that.

In fact, it is not difficult for this film to make a profit. As an urban film, it is relatively easy to embed advertisements in "Out of Time" without appearing out of place.

In the year 2011, from beverages to alcoholic beverages, from mobile phones to home appliances and cars, as well as luxury goods stores appearing from time to time on the streets.

She had heard from the stinky man that the product placement alone brought the film nearly 2000 million in revenue.

The total investment of the film is only 3000 million in shooting costs, plus an additional 1000 million in marketing expenses, for a total of 4000 million.

She was daydreaming when suddenly a big hand came over and wrapped around her waist.

After only a moment's pause, he skillfully reached through the gap in her pajamas, grabbed the little bun, and began to pinch and knead it habitually.

"Hehe." She turned over, looked at her boyfriend who was still sleeping soundly, and blew on his eyelashes.

"call!"

"Brother, how can you sleep? This is my first movie, directed and acted in. I'm more nervous than you are now."

"call!"

"You look quite handsome when you sleep." She slid her fingers lightly across his face and lifted his chin.

Then, he carefully reached down and touched his abdomen: "The netizens didn't see it clearly. It's obviously eight pieces, but it's really hard."

"If you touch me again, I'll throw you down." Lu Yuan closed his eyes and warned her in a bad mood. At the same time, he tightened his arms and held her in his arms.

Liu Shishi widened her eyes and said angrily, "Okay, so you've been awake for a long time and are pretending to be asleep here."

"Auntie, can you please be reasonable?"

Lu Yuan was depressed: "You tossed me around a lot this night, either groaning to get up to drink water, or go to the bathroom, or dazzle my eyes with the phone screen, and occasionally talk to yourself. I am asleep, not dead."

Liu Shishi felt a little embarrassed and said, "Oh, I just have something on my mind and can't sleep."

Lu Yuan was too lazy to pay attention to her.

Liu Shishi's thoughts had drifted away.

"If Out of Time could make 5 million like Days, I would be able to make a fortune."

She counted on her fingers, looking like a money-grubber: "My salary is 200 million, which is 4000% of the total investment of 5 million. If the box office really reaches million, I can get this."

She frowned and hummed for a long time.

"750 million before tax." Lu Yuan couldn't listen any longer and gave the answer directly.

"Ah, that's just a bit?" Liu Shishi shook her head and said unsatisfiedly, "If it's 10 billion, wouldn't I get 1500 million?"

What a psycho! He's having a fit so early in the morning. Lu Yuan shrank down, got into bed, and continued to take a nap.

In fact, he is not too worried about the first-day box office of "Time Raiders".

The pre-publicity work has been done quite well. In addition to conventional publicity, the carefully planned challenge of earthy love words has aroused strong resonance among young people and almost achieved a viral effect.

Coupled with the unexpected boost from the Yin Xiaotian incident, the promotion of this movie is unstoppable, and its influence even exceeds that of "Love Is Not Blind".

Although "The Banquet" is available on the market, the two have very different themes and target audiences. The first-day box office performance of "Out of Time" will not be inferior.

As for the subsequent box office trends, it depends on whether the reputation and quality of the film itself can continue to ferment and attract more audiences to the cinema.

At 6 o'clock in the morning, the cell phone on the bedside table rang.

Liu Shishi suddenly opened her eyes and stretched out her arms to take it, but Lu Yuan held it tightly, and her arms were too short, so she couldn't reach it and had to give up.

She called out "dog" but got no response, so she simply lifted the quilt.

At this moment, Lu Yuan's head was buried deep in two petals of tenderness. The sudden coolness and the ringing of his cell phone woke him up.

He spat out the wet tip of the bun and reached for his phone.

Liu Shishi didn't even bother to wipe the saliva off her chest and just wrapped herself in her nightgown.

She stared at her boyfriend's face and noticed that his usually calm expression was visibly stunned.

"How much more?" she asked hesitantly, her voice uneasy.

Lu Yuan did not answer directly. Instead, he put down his phone, turned over and gave her a deep kiss in her confused eyes.

Liu Shishi was kissed until she was short of breath. She parted her red lips slightly, rested her head on his arm, and asked breathlessly, "How much was the box office on the first day?"

Lu Yuan took a deep breath, and said with a little excitement: "Including the midnight show, the first day's box office is 4950 million!"

"How much?" Liu Shishi was stunned and couldn't believe her ears.

She propped up her upper body with one arm, not caring that her nightgown was spread out, and asked, "Are you sure it's 4950 million?"

"Confirmed, the first day box office was 4950 million, a new record for the first day box office of a Chinese-language film!"

Lu Yuan held his girlfriend's face with both hands and congratulated her, "If the reputation remains the same, you may get more than 750 million according to the profit sharing ratio."

"Ah!" Liu Shishi was overjoyed, hugged his neck and kissed him fiercely: "4950 million, we are going to be rich!"

"Be gentle, don't bite."

Lu Yuan looked at the teeth marks on his shoulder, rolled his eyes, then found a tricky spot and bit it.

Liu Shishi was defeated and whimpered in pain, begging for mercy.

After a commotion, his mood gradually calmed down. Lu Yuan hugged his girlfriend and played with her little bun.

Last year, "Dragon Gate" and "The Flowers of War" fought to the death, and the final first-day box office were 2500 million and 1900 million respectively.

Before "Out of Time", the highest first-day box office record was set by "Aftershock", which was 3620 million yuan.

But that was 2010.

As for the outside world, when this result came out, the entire entertainment industry was boiling with excitement.

A low-budget fantasy romantic comedy, the box office on the first day was close to 5000 million.

incredible!
