China Entertainment: I just want to give my child a home

Chapter 25 "Those Years" First Day Box Office

12 month 23 day.

eight pm.

Mango Channel played the latest issue of Kuaiben.

Many families follow this variety show on time, especially families with students.

Xiao Ming is a senior in high school this year. He is a loyal fan of Kuaiben and must follow every issue.

We all know that the senior year of high school is stressful, and each issue of the quick book can not only bring laughter to Xiao Ming, but also reduce the pressure on him.

It was precisely because of this that his parents did not deprive Xiao Ming of his right to take time out from the endless pile of questions to read every issue.

Even under his influence, he began to develop the habit of 'chasing updates'.

The guests in this issue of Kuaiben are the main creative staff of the "Those Years" crew, including the director and leading actor Chen Dong, Yan Danchen, Luo Jin, Zhou Yang, and Jiang Yiyan.

"Mom and Dad, I want to go to the cinema and watch "Those Years"."

"What are you watching? Today is only 23, and the movie hasn't been released yet."

"Then when the movie comes out..."

"I heard that your English scores have declined a lot?"

"I will try my best to pass the exam next time."

"Okay, it's agreed."

The same thing happened in different families, but mainly students and young people had higher expectations for "Those Years".

……

12 month 24 day.

"Those Years" held its premiere in the capital.

There were also many directors and celebrities present at the venue, but compared with the premiere of "Cell Phone" a week ago, it was relatively "shabby".

"Brother Jiang Wen, sister-in-law, welcome to join us, haha, please come inside."

"Brother Jun, Sister Binbin, Senior Brother Xiaoming... Please come quickly."

"Director Li, welcome."

"Dr. Ren, please do me a favor..."

The time was almost up. Chen Dong led the creative staff on stage to accept interviews with the media, and then the screening of "Those Years" officially began.

Two hours later, Chen Dong and others were on the podium again amid everyone's applause.

"Director Chen, first of all I want to say sorry to you, because before coming here, I have always had a certain prejudice against your new movie, but I just watched the movie and it is indeed a movie that recalls youth and campus life. An excellent work... But as a reporter, I still want to ask you, how high are your expectations for the box office of "Those Years"? Thank you."

Chen Dong picked up the microphone and first accepted the apology from the young female reporter whose eyes were still a little red, and then expressed his expectations for the final box office of the film.

"As I said before, the track I chose for this movie is different from my previous movies and has no reference. And I am still a new director, so I don't have the box office appeal of other famous directors.

But "Those Years" is a movie that was made with great care. I dare say that it has lived up to the hard work of the investors, crew, post-production, and actors. I believe that the audience will not live up to my movie either.

Well, if I had to predict a box office, I think "Those Years" should be worth 8000 million. "

Chen Dong's previous words were all sincere, but in the end there was a big twist.

8000 million box office?
  Why does this number sound so familiar?

Oh, director Feng Xiaogang also shouted the same thing at the premiere of "Cell Phone" the other week.

Damn, ever since "Those Years" was scheduled to be released on December 12, this movie has been competing against "Cell Phone".

It's been a week since "Mobile Phone" was released, and it's still a hit.

This is the rhythm of catching a sheep until it reaches its peak.

Many people in the venue who reacted showed meaningful smiles.

"..."

"Dan Chen, how do you feel about acting opposite Director Chen?"

"Director Chen, since Shen Jiayi is getting married, why did you arrange for the male protagonist to kiss the female protagonist at the wedding?"

……

Less than three hours after the premiere of "Those Years" ended, many film critics' praise for the film began to appear on some portal websites. As for why it is a good review, you taste it and taste it carefully.

[The youngest director in China uses his new movie "Those Years" to tell you what a youth campus movie is! 】

[Director Chen Dong predicts that the box office of "Those Years" will reach 8000 million. Is this confidence or arrogance? 】

[Reminiscing about youth, recalling the hazy and beautiful love in our student days... Please go to the cinema on December 12 and watch "Those Years". 】

["Those Years" - a campus movie that can evoke your youth. 】

【…】

The night passed by in a hurry.

12 month 25 day.

early morning.

The main creative staff of "Those Years" who had just had breakfast, under the leadership of director Chen Dong, began their road show for the day.

"Director Chen, you are so handsome, why do you want to be a director?"

"Sister Danchen, I, I am your fan."

"Teacher Danchen, your performance as Shen Jiayi is so beautiful."

"Ke Jingteng, ah no, Director Chen, why don't you let the male and female protagonists get together?"

"..."

After a day's road show, everyone, including Chen Dong, was exhausted, but everyone was in a happy mood.

The reason is simple. The attendance rate of "Those Years" is pretty good, almost above 60%, and the response has been very good.

Chen Dong knew that China Film Group would know the first-day box office of "Those Years" in the early morning, but he didn't want to wait until that time.

Because the road show would continue tomorrow, I simply turned off the phone and threw myself on the bed. Within a few minutes, a steady sound of snoring filled the room.

dong dong dong...

Awakened by a knock on the door, Chen Dong thought it was morning, and a cricket pupa climbed up from the bed.

Yawning, he opened the door. There were many people standing at the door, including Ning Hao, Huang Bo, Luo Jin, Yan Danchen, Zhou Yang, and Jiang Yiyan.

What happened?
  So many people came to wake him up?
  No, why are you all wearing pajamas?
  "Dongzi, box office, the first day box office of "Those Years"..."

"Uh, what time is it now?"

"Early in the morning..."

Chen Dong resisted the urge to close the door directly, turned around and turned on his mobile phone, and then...then a call came directly in.

"Hey... how much?"

After hanging up the phone, Chen Dong turned to look at the people at the door who were staring at him, and told them the data they wanted to know most.

"The first-day box office of "Those Years" was 526 million."

"How many?"

"526 million." Chen Dong repeated it again.

Soon, everyone reacted and became excited and excited.

It was as if yesterday's fatigue was swept away at this moment.

"Yes! yes! yes!"

"The first-day box office was 526 million, Director Chen is awesome! "Those Years" is awesome!"

……

Early the next morning, the first-day box office result of "Those Years" was 526 million, which was already posted on the homepage of the media website, and the font size was still larger and bolder.

At the same time, the daily box office of "Mobile Phone" dropped by 500 million for the first time yesterday, to only 448 million.

"Damn, damn, damn..." Mr. Wang saw the first-day box office of "Those Years" and was so angry that he smashed the mouse and keyboard at home.

And all the tricks he had prepared to beat up the drowned dog were useless at this moment.
