President's Office, in Tan Yue's office.

Tan Yue made himself a cup of tea and water, looked at the official website of the General Administration of Culture, and felt very good.

"Kung Fu" was able to earn 3.9 billion at the box office within one week of release, which satisfied him.

"Kung Fu" can be said to be the pinnacle of Xingye's work. When it was released on Earth, it won the box office championship that year, with another movie "House of Flying Daggers" second.

Tan Yue has always been very confident in this movie. He believes that the final box office performance of "Kung Fu" will not be bad.

‘Didi’.

The phone received a message reminder, and Tan Yue saw that it was a message from Xu Nuo.

"Old Tan, the three of us are going to have a drink tonight to celebrate the good box office results of "Kung Fu"."

Of course Tan Yue knew who the other two people were, and then he replied with a question mark to Xu Nuo.

Now he regrets letting Xu Nuo go to Ma Guoliang and Zhou Can to drink together. These three people are so addicted to alcohol that they cannot drink every day.

Tan Yue called Xunuo worriedly. He felt that they drank too frequently and said, "It's better to drink less. Drinking too much can easily lead to gout. Then you won't be able to find a girlfriend."

Xu Nuo said indifferently: "Don't worry, Lao Tan, we are just having a drink today."

"Okay then, please pay attention."

After putting down the phone, Tan Yue planned to find a time to have a talk with the three of them and stop drinking so frequently.

...

...

It's time to get off work in a blink of an eye.

Chen Ziyu came to Tan Yue's office. Tan Yue finished processing the documents in his hands, and the two of them got off work together.

Seeing Chen Ziyu playing with her mobile phone, Tan Yue said: "What are you looking at? So serious."

"I bought some beef and some vegetables online. Is there anything you want to eat?"

"As a chef, I have never been picky about food."

Chen Ziyu put down her phone: "I've already ordered it. When we get home, these dishes should be delivered."

It was the rush hour for getting off work, and there were still a lot of cars on the road. Tan Yue could only follow behind and walk forward little by little.

When the two of them arrived home, the food they ordered had been placed at the door by the errand boy.

After briefly tidying up, the two began to get busy in the kitchen.

Tan Yue was in charge of all the dishes tonight, while Chen Ziyu was helping out.

Every time when cooking, Chen Ziyu would learn from Tan Yue.

The eyes have learned, but the hands have not.

It's obviously the same seasonings and the same order, but it still doesn't taste like Tan Yue.

Chen Ziyu said depressedly: "Why is my food not as delicious as yours?"

Tan Yue stir-fried the fried pork with chili peppers in the pot and replied with a smile: "Maybe I have the talent to be a chef."

Not long after, four delicious dishes were brought to the table by Chen Ziyu.

Tan Yue glanced at the time. In five minutes, the last beef course would be ready.

At this time, Tan Yue simply tidied up the kitchen.

Tan Yue came out of the kitchen and shouted: "Ziyu, the dishes are ready, it's time to eat."

Chen Ziyu held a bottle of red wine and two goblets and said, "Let's drink some together!"

"OK."

The corners of Tan Yue's mouth raised slightly and he laughed.

"What's wrong?" Chen Ziyu asked.

Tan Yue explained: "Today Fatty Xu sent me a message. He, Ma Guoliang and Zhou Can are going to drink tonight. Thinking that he often drinks, I persuaded him to drink less. I didn't expect that I would also drink tonight."

"Do the three of them drink often?"

"Ma Guoliang and A Can have become drinking buddies now, and with Fatty Xu, a person who likes to drink whenever he has nothing to do, you can probably imagine the result."

Chen Ziyu smiled and poured a little wine into their goblets.

Dinner started.

On a dark night, only a bright moon hung in the sky.

...

...

Magic City.

Jiang Bei was lying on the deck chair on the balcony, looking at the moon in the sky, feeling very excited in his heart.

If it were a martial arts action movie made by someone else, Jiang Bei is sure that the movie would definitely fail.

But "Kung Fu" was written by Tan Yue, so the box office shouldn't be too bad, but the current box office results have far exceeded his original expectations.

The box office in the first week was as high as 3.9 billion, and American blockbusters that have always been the dragons crossing the river are no match.

Jiang Bei casually threw the cigarette butt into the ashtray at hand.

He is a self-aware person.

Acknowledging that the two are no longer directors of the same level, he admitted that he was not Tan Yue's opponent, but regarded Tan Yue as an idol and a target for him to pursue.

Jiangbei also hopes that one day his films will be able to beat top-notch foreign blockbusters.

Magic City, another community, a large flat.

Zhao Sheng is having dinner with his wife.

The stressful life in the past few years has made him develop the habit of drinking, and he will have a drink every night for dinner.

"Alas..." Zhao Sheng sighed after taking a sip of wine.

Thinking of the box office of "Kung Fu" in its first week, he felt filled with envy and jealousy.

The first-week box office of his own movie "Strange Mountains and Seas" was only 872 million, which was less than a fraction of "Kung Fu".

If the popularity of the movie does not rise in the early stage, the box office will not change much later.

Before the movie was released, I was still dreaming about breaking out of this May 1st slot as a dark horse, but now I can only accept the reality.
