Chapter 13 Who is it?(1/2)

At six o'clock in the evening, the first batch of audiences during the peak period followed the crowd and poured into the cinema.

The vast majority of people who choose to go out to watch movies during the holidays are not movie fans. They just want to find an entertainment way to pass the time.

At this time, special effects blockbusters with cool names have naturally become their first choice.

"How much is the box office?" The production company of "Return of the Dragon King" is also paying close attention to the real-time box office.

"Eighty million. At this rate, today's total box office should reach 150 million."

"150 million," the producer's expression was not as cheerful as expected: "After calculating this, it is difficult for the box office to exceed 1 billion during the seven-day holiday, and the total box office cannot exceed 2 billion. How could it be possible? Didn't all of our film schedules expand?

Is it 50%?”

"No." The secretary took another look at the data. According to the contract, they can get 35% of the film schedule three days before National Day. This is a mandatory requirement for theaters. Even if the reputation is not as good as expected, the film schedule will not be cut.

However, if the box office performance is good, it is normal for the film schedule to increase to 50%.

"Our current film schedule is only 37%," the secretary said in a low voice.

"That's it?" the producer snorted: "Don't these theater managers want to make money? The reputation should have already come out, right?"

"It's out. Currently, all the movies in the National Day period have been released." The secretary paused, looked at the boss's penetrating eyes, and whispered: "Yun Piao Piao and Meow Eye both have 8.8 points."

"Only 8.8?" The producer was shocked: "Do the audience understand the movie? The special effects team and actors I specially invited from the United States are also top-notch, what else can they be dissatisfied with!"

"Well," the secretary carefully wrote a negative review and discovered the problem: "Everyone thinks the script is not very good and the plot is a bit childish..."

"Bah!" the producer sneered: "What we shot is a special effects film, a blockbuster made with money! They want to see the plot, why don't they support literary films! Let me tell you, the taste of today's audiences is too bad.

Bar!"

"That's all," the producer took a sip of chrysanthemum tea before calming down: "What about the other films during the National Day period? That Hong Kong film should be our biggest rival."

"Are you talking about "The God of Destruction"? The cloud ticket score is 9.1 and Miaoyan is 9.0, which is not bad. As for the box office, the real-time statistics are just over 60 million. According to this trend, it may surpass us in the future."

"Haha," the producer said with a look of disdain: "I think it's just emotions! Hong Kong movies just sell the faces of those old actors! Speaking of which, the score is higher than ours. Could it be that the points are locked? Or is it?

Did you find Yun Piao Piao and Miao Yan Investment?"

"I heard that Suofen was banned by the superiors, so I shouldn't commit crimes against others. As for investment, I checked, and there are no such two companies." After the secretary finished timidly, he did not leave directly, but waited aside.

This move did not make the producer quite understandable.

"Why, are there any other movies that we need to care about? I said, our movies are just for the first two, and those movies that don't pose any threat to us don't need to pay attention to. My time is very precious!"

In the building of Yiyang Entertainment.

Guan Fei walked quickly on her high heels and ran all the way to the door of the president's office.

"Please come in."

After hearing the knock on the door, Zhou Yiyang's clear voice came from behind the door.

Seeing that the person coming was Guan Fei, Zhou Yiyang motioned to Bai Yangyu in the room to continue.

"Mr. Zhou, that Miss Xiao took a sum of money and immigrated with her parents." Bai Yangyu stated expressionlessly.

"Well," Zhou Yiyang no longer cared about this matter and looked at Guan Fei: "What you want to say should be movie-related news?"

"Yeah." Guan Fei took a deep breath to make herself look calmer. "The "Charlotte Troubles" has just been released."



"Hey, why did Mr. Ning think of inviting us to watch a comedy?"

In a high-end movie theater, there are only a few people sitting in hundreds of seats.

They lay on the comfortable big bed, adjusted the angle, and stared at the huge screen.

"My brother invited me." Ning Mang's brother casually took off his sunglasses, revealing his poker face.

Ning Mang felt everyone's confused looks. After all, in the eyes of his friends, he was a person who didn't like the fireworks of the world and only liked watching literary films.

And today, he actually invited everyone to watch a comedy, which was so strange.

"I invested." Ning Mang explained that this was the truth, although he was not the main investor. According to the order, he was behind Zhou Yiyang, Huang Shao, and Chen Shao.

There's no way around it, Wenqing still has a little bit of prejudice against comedies in his heart.

"Comedies, comedies are good!" The friends quickly changed the topic.

They want to know more, whether Ning Mang, a young man of letters, or his brother Bingshan, can laugh when watching a comedy?

The five characters "Charlotte Troubles" appeared on the screen.

At the beginning of the story, Charlotte, played by Jiang Yang, appears.

The plot of the class reunion made several friends laugh, but they looked at Ning Mang and his brother from the corner of their eyes. Well, they still had no expression.

"The Ning family, don't they lack comedy skills?"

They thought in their hearts.

Pang Li plays Jiang Yang's wife, Ma Dongmei.

As soon as she appeared on the stage, a rich second-generation man from Northeast China burst into laughter: "My mother always likes her and is happy when she sees her. I will take my mother to the cinema to watch her later."

Just when Ning Mang thought the story would be about the hero working hard after the class reunion, Charlotte was reborn and returned to his middle school days.

The atmosphere of that era was unsympathetic to this group of people.

However, the few jokes he made made his friends laugh out loud.

"This baggage is great!"

"Jiang Yang's acting skills are really great, and his demeanor is so natural."

"Although I didn't experience that era, I have heard all those songs! Mr. Zhou really knows how to choose songs."

Ning Mang wanted to laugh at several points, but he still held it back for the sake of character.

"Laugh if you want." His brother's voice sounded.

"Oh, it's okay." Ning Mang was so stubborn.

But Ning Mang didn't last long.

Qiu Ya, played by Tang Yue, is innocent and a bit charming, charming but not astringent. When she appears in school uniform, she reminds people of the class beauty in middle school.

"Lao Zhou has such a bad eye for casting, and Tang Yue got the supporting role so well." Ning Mang thought.

Luo Chen plays Yuan Hua, the love rival of the male protagonist Xia Luo.

Logically speaking, the role of love rival is unlikable, because the audience will take the role of the male protagonist and become bored with this role.

However, Yuan Hua is somewhat different.

When he appeared, the BGM that everyone had never heard before was so impressive.

In the end, Ning Mang was defeated and Po Gong burst into laughter.

However, no one was surprised, because everyone at the scene, except Ning Mang's brother, burst into laughter.

"Hey, it seems that my brother really can't laugh." Ning Mang felt that this was the funniest moment in the whole movie.

Until Ma Dongmei met an old man with a bad ear.

After Ning Mang's brother heard "Ma, Mei, Ma, Dong, etc.", he finally lowered his head and chuckled.

At that moment Ning Mang regretted not investing more.

A comedy that can make him and his brother laugh, what kind of laughter would a normal audience have!

He looked to the side and saw his friends rolling on the floor, and he knew the status of ordinary relationships.

Although the subsequent plot has some routines, Ning Mang's feelings are very sincere.

There are inspirational scenes, touching true love, and sparkling Ma Dongmei.

At the end, the ending song played, and Luo Chen and Tang Yue sang softly:

"Just once, I'll take you to see the world..."

He suddenly wanted to eat a bowl of tomato braised noodles.

"Brother, I regret it now. Why didn't I invest more money?"

Ning Mang's brother nodded and seemed to agree with his younger brother's point of view: "It's unexpectedly beautiful. To be honest, I'm more interested in it than "Yi Yi"."

The friends nodded one after another, they were tired from laughing. Moreover, this comedy not only made them laugh, but also had several plot points that moved them a little, which is very rare.

If they close their eyes now, many scenes from movies will be heard in their minds:

The "snowflakes are falling" BGM, every interaction between Charlotte and Ma Dongmei, the naive Yuan Hua, the charming Qiu Ya, the hidden Chinese teacher...

"It turns out that comedies can still be shot like this. It's funny and dramatic, and the ending is quite heartwarming."

"Yeah, I didn't look down on comedies before. When I go back, I plan to ask someone to watch them again."



Zhou Yiyang looked up at Guan Fei, who was about to betray her, and asked, "What's the score?"

"The ratings are quite high! Yunpiaodou 9.4 and Miaoyan 9.5! Even Douban, which is not friendly to comedy movies, gave it a score of 7.8! And the two interludes in the movie "One Cut Plum" and "Just Once" are now on
To be continued...
