Chapter 140 The Eve of Engagement
National Day is almost here.

Jiang Liu put aside the work at hand for the time being and devoted himself to mending Jiang's house.

Since there is a slang term in the capital city, "Ceiling fish tank, pomegranate tree, Mr. Fat Dog, Fat Girl".

He bought a large fish tank in the yard and raised several koi carps.

The courtyard was empty, and he looked around for pomegranate trees that were growing happily, and spent a lot of money to win people's love.

The grape trellis hung on the ceiling was particularly beautiful and elegant. He searched all over the city to transplant grape vines.

I was busy and happy when I came to the door in a hurry.

Finding that Jiang Liu was still in a leisurely mood, he fed a chopstick-long puppy with his own hands. Yu Dong patted his thigh and exclaimed:
"Hey, Mr. Jiang, give me a call when you get back. This is all a big deal."

"House on fire? It's not that exaggerated, right?"

Yu Dongjiu circled around one person and one dog and said: "It's not that exaggerated? Where's your computer? I'll show you how many news outlets are scolding you and belittling "Pirates"."

"By the way, we need to add a computer."

Yu Dong was very depressed: "Mr. Jiang, let's deal with the negative news first. Afterwards, I will give you the best computer on the market. "Pirates" failed at the box office and Bona will go bankrupt."

Jiang Liu glanced at Yu Dong.

It was late September, and Yu Dong's forehead was actually covered with fine sweat, and he was really anxious.

Yixin Film and Television and China Film failed to invest in "Pirates", losing 1000 million and losing a piece of meat.

Boehner lost 500 million, but his muscles and bones were broken.

"Mr. Yu, let me tell you the truth. When "Pirates" was being prepared, I thought the movie's chance of making a profit was only [-]%. Do you know what the [-]% is now?"

"Yicheng! Stop playing riddles and tell me what you really think."

"Now I am at least 7% sure!"

"Are you trying to coax me? It doesn't matter if you coax me. Don't even believe yourself. How can you be [-]% sure about the negative news all over the world?"

Jiang Liu smiled enigmatically, picked up the chubby little Labrador and walked to the side room.

At the same time, Yu Dong, who kept asking questions for a while, said: "Mr. Yu, if this public opinion was before this, how famous do you think "Pirates" and "Heroes" are respectively? Very high."

“‘Pirates’ and ‘Heroes’ are incomparable in every aspect, so [-] or [-]?”

Jiang Liu didn't say how close the two were, but asked: "What about now?"

Anyone with a discerning eye knows that "Pirates" is not as famous as "Heroes".

With Jiang Liu's mess, the popularity of "Pirates" has greatly increased, and it has become a rival on the same level as "Heroes".

At least it will be much higher than before this hype.

"The management of "Heroes" smeared "Pirates" to death, which has indeed increased the popularity of "Pirates", but it is all negative news, which will easily backfire at the box office. If the audience is disgusted and unwilling to watch "Pirates", it will be over. Don't watch Boss Han He is actually more anxious than me to sit tight on the Diaoyu Islands."

"It won't backfire. It's human nature to join in the fun. If two people fight on the street, there will be a circle of people watching. If two movies fight in the theater, there will still be a group of people watching."

"When the audience finds that "Pirates" is not that bad, the subsequent box office will be guaranteed. My designs are all one step after another."

"Mr. Yu, there's no need to worry about the box office. I've been busy recently. Please help me find a majestic movie soundtrack first, or contact a band."

Yu Dong left full of doubts, and Jiang Liu continued to check for leaks in front of and behind the house.

Two days later, Jiang Liu took the lead in picking up his parents and Lu Ting from the airport.

"It's not as prosperous as on TV." In the car, Jiang Shengli commented on the buildings he saw.

Jiang Liu smiled and said: "Most of the time, it is natural to show the good side to the people."

"Have you bought all the furniture at home? How is it decorated? Have you bought some clothes for Li Xin? Is Sanjin ready?"

Compared with Jiang Shengli's concern about the development of the capital, Li Qin is more concerned about his son's personal life.

"I bought two or three sets of furniture, two sets of clothes for each other, three pieces of gold, and she bought me a watch, that's all." Jiang Liu extended his left hand to Li Qin and took a look.Li Qin glanced at the watch on her son's wrist. She didn't recognize the brand, but it looked pretty good. She said happily, "Two or three sets of furniture are enough. The house is not empty, and it feels like a home."

When the car arrived at Donghua Gate, Lu Ting pointed at the Forbidden City building excitedly and said, "Mom, Dad, I've been to the Forbidden City."

"This is the Forbidden City where the emperor used to live?"

Li Qin's attention was instantly attracted, and she kept looking at the magnificent Forbidden City complex. Before she could take a second glance, the car stopped and Jiang Liu said, "We're home."

"Home is here?"

"Yes." Jiang Liu smiled and walked towards the concierge with Li Qin in his arms.

"The door is a bit low. Why don't you paint it with red paint?"

After Li Qin looked at the door up and down, she felt disgusted and directed Jiang Shengli, who turned his back to them and admired Beichi Street and Tongzi River, and said: "Lao Jiang, don't run around after dinner. Take the time to paint it."

"I know, do you have any paint at home?" Jiang Shengli asked Jiang Liu.

Jiang Liu, who never revealed the secret of the door, couldn't help but stretched out his hand and said: "Mom, give me the money, I will buy paint later."

"I have a lot of money. Let me pay for the painting of your front door."

Li Qin glared at his son, lifted up his down jacket, took out a roll of hundred-yuan bills from his inner pocket, and stuffed two into Jiang Liu.

Jiang Liu was now learning how to sell. He used Li Qin's inimitable movements to carefully and cautiously put the money away, and then joked: "Mom, such a small amount of money is not enough. What will happen to the huanghuali wood for our front door in the future?" It must be worth hundreds of thousands, but it will be worthless after the paint is applied.”

Jiang Shengli and Li Qin were startled, hundreds of thousands?
"Go, go, go, your mother is just a poor vegetable seller with no money."

Li Qin and Jiang Shengli were once again recognized by their sons' financial resources.

Jiang Liu laughed loudly, gave up on this little episode, and led his parents and sister through the side door.

Seeing the gurgling water, the courtyard full of flowers and luxuriant branches, the two-story high-rise building on the right, and the overhanging eaves on the left hand corner, one glimpse revealed the whole leopard. Jiang Shengli, Li Qin, and Lu Ting were so shocked that they were completely speechless.

What is a home like a painting?

It was probably Jiang Zhai in front of him.

"Go in quickly, don't stand around and stare." Jiang Liu reminded his parents sadly.

There are several people in the world who have lived in a house like this. Let alone live in it, I am afraid they will never be able to step into a yard like this in their lifetime.

He was lucky enough to let his parents see and experience a life that many people could never imagine in their lifetime.

The purpose of making money is to allow yourself and your family to live whatever kind of life they want, and never be troubled by money.

On the wooden bridge, Jiang Liuxiao asked: "Mom, how are the fish in my pond doing?"

"Okay, okay, you are good at everything, but you should be more practical. I see that you are even walking a little erratically now." Li Qin glanced at the river channel opposite the fish pond.

The originally relaxed and pleasant atmosphere was completely destroyed by Li Qin's words, and Jiang Liu was stunned on the spot.

He carefully recalled what he had done in the past year, and it seemed that he was indeed a little more confident than he was two years ago.

When he was on the set of "Wrong Sedan and Marry the Right Man" in 2000, he would still think about the wording and attitude to use in conversations with Dern and Wang Gang at night.

When Wang Gang saw through the little trick he was using to get into the crew, he would rack his brains to formulate plans and come up with several countermeasures in succession.

But a year or a half after "Wulin Gaiden" was sold at a high price, his journey was a little too smooth.

He was so bold that he asked He Jing and Gao Damao to take a huge sum of 5000 million US dollars to the United States.

Thinking that the most thoughtful and carefully planned thing in the past two years was to provoke the management of "Hero" to smear "Pirates", Jiang Liu couldn't help but start to examine himself.

He is in the wave of the times, and the waves are high and low, which can lift him up.

But as long as he relaxes even a little bit, he will be beaten to death in one wave.
