Chapter 137 More successful than expected!(1/2)
Yin Jun only regarded Zeng Yaqian as a little sister, just like the two little girls, Qiu Shuzhen and Wen Bixia.
But it will be difficult for Guan Zhilin, a little vixen, to be brother and sister with her.
It’s not that Yin Jun’s mind has changed. He has gone from just wanting to protect Guan Zhilin, to wanting to possess this “most beautiful woman in Asia” who is becoming more and more beautiful and will be more beautiful in the future.
Instead, when we were having dinner with Wei Xiaofan, Dong Wei and the others two days ago, Wei Xiaofan reminded Yin Jun, "Jun, are you talking about friends with Xiaoguan?"
"No." Yin Jun replied.
"Why are you so intimate with her?" Wei Xiaofan said, "I know you love her very much, but a girl. If you don't have any thoughts about her, you must not be too close. Otherwise, what do you want her to think and what others think? What should you do if you find a girlfriend in the future? Will others think you have abandoned her?"
"No way..."
"What can't you do? You are holding hands, so close, exactly the same as a couple, how come they are like brothers and sisters?" Wei Xiaofan said, "Listen to my brother, you should keep a little distance from her, or you should just get along with Xiaoguan. Anyway, except for her spoiled personality, the rest are all very good."
...
Thinking back on these words, looking at Guan Zhilin who was holding her arm and watching the movie sweetly, Yin Jun sighed without realizing it.
If he wants to keep her distance from him, Guan Zhilin promises to cry for herself immediately, and it will definitely be a huge blow to her mind and bring immeasurable harm to her soul... To put it bluntly, the beginning of many girls giving up on themselves comes from this.
After finally returning to 1978, Yin Jun was unwilling to see these beautiful stars like flowers, and with the bad fates in the past, he was willing to help them find a good destination within his ability.
What's more, Guan Zhilin has a different relationship with herself.
From the moment Yin Jun was hit by Guan Zhilin's bicycle, their fates were intertwined.
Not to mention that Yin Jun will never forget it. When Yin Jun was about to leave the Guan family, Guan Zhilin's pitiful appearance was in tears and the situation where she gave all the money from her piggy bank to herself.
From that moment on, Yin Jun had decided to get out of the way, including King Jin and Liu Datou! Never think about hurting Jiahui again!! In this life, she should only have happiness, not pain.
Because of this, Yin Jun regards her as the most important person in his life at present, so he is very intimate with her, and he does not feel any inappropriate to Guan Zhilin's intimacy with him.
But such feelings are not love after all.
Wei Xiaofan's eyes were very poisonous, and he could see this.
If it was someone else, Wei Xiaofan would just take a look and would not bother with it.
But Yin Jun is his little brother, and Wei Xiaofan of course had to remind him to think clearly before making a decision, otherwise it would not only hurt Guan Zhilin, but also hurt himself.
But at this time, how could Yin Jun push the switch on Zhilin?
Something is simply impossible!
Yin Jun was both happy and helpless when he looked at Guan Zhilin who was amused by the plot of the movie.
never mind.
Let's do it for now.
If the girl grows up and has a man she loves deeply, she will advise her to leave and find her own happiness.
If she is still attached to herself like this, then...then she can only marry her by herself.
Love and family affection are actually similar to Yin Jun, who has never been in love.
The girl is still so beautiful when she grows up. If she were to marry such a fairy beauty in 2020, she would really thank the Bodhisattva for her blessing. How could she be dissatisfied with her?
Before we knew it, the movie was over.
Guan Zhilin, who was smiling brightly, noticed that Yin Jun didn't smile much.
"Hey, Brother Jun, why are you unhappy? Do you think the show you wrote is not good-looking?" Guan Zhilin leaned against Yin Jun and asked silly.
"No." Looking at her cute and charming appearance, Yin Jun smiled and pointed her nose, "I wrote it myself, I know all the plots. What else can I look forward to?"
"But thinking in my mind, it's completely different to watch in the cinema!" Guan Zhilin pouted, but the next moment she kissed Yin Jun's face, "Brother Jun, you're so great! No matter what script you write, it's so good~~ Jiahui loves you the most~~"
"Little Flatter!"
Yin Jun smiled, kissed her first, and then pulled her up, "Let's go, let's have a midnight snack!"
With Wei Xiaofan's reminder, Yin Jun noticed it now that he realized that Guan Zhilin's attachment to her was all-round and could not extricate herself.
In such a situation, he had the slightest indifference and was able to discover that such consequences were not something Yin Jun was willing to bear, but he was unwilling to let Guan Zhilin bear them.
So, Yin Juncai also kissed her, which was a passionate response to her obsession.
"Yeah~~"
Guan Zhilin didn't think so much, and walked out with Yin Jun's arm with a smirk, "Brother Jun, let's go to Wenhua Hotel to have dessert, I'll treat you!"
"It's a waste when you have money. It's really a spanking!" Yin Jun said with a smile, but he didn't object.
"Oh, I don't have any money. My mother took away the previous pay for "Wulin Waichuan" and the reward for advertising endorsements." Guan Zhilin was a little annoyed when she said this. "I only have the red envelopes that Sister Ling sent to us after every seven episodes of "Wulin Waichuan". Their pockets are usually only a few hundred yuan!"
This girl is used to living a wealthy life on weekdays, and she still has "only a few hundred yuan". Don't she know that a few hundred yuan is usually the salary of a person a month?
However, Zhang Bingqian's concern for money was beyond Yin Jun's expectations.
After "The Legend of Wulin Wai" sold for a sky-high price of 5 million, Le Yiling was quite generous to the starring actors and second-tier starring actors. For example, second-tier starring actors like Guan Zhilin have increased their price to 200 yuan per episode. In this way, she has a pay of 15,000 yuan in "The Legend of Wulin Wai".
In addition, Guan Zhilin's advertisement for Watsons was very successful, so she recently signed three more advertisements. After deducting all the fees, she earned a total of 110,000 yuan, and the money was also taken away by Zhang Bingqian.
Although she called her daughter keeping it, according to Yin Jun's opinion, Zhang Bingqian was planning for her future life, and now she had to control all the money and be prepared for any trouble.
So, Guan Zhilin only has the red envelopes for "Wulin Waijie" left, which are usually distributed every seven episodes, which is about two or three hundred yuan, and the money is not much, which makes the actors very happy, after all, this is an extra income.
Unlike Yin Jun who knew Guan Zhilin in his previous life, although she doesn’t have much money now, she is always content and is willing to spend money on Yin Jun, such as clothes, shoes, and tie. Guan Zhilin has bought Yin Jun and looks happy.
Yin Jun had no choice but to refuse Guan Zhilin's kindness, and just told her that if she had no money, she would ask her for money. As a result, Guan Zhilin never took the initiative to ask Yin Jun for money.
If it was Guan Zhilin, who was twenty years old in her previous life, asked a man for a pocket money of 100,000 or 80,000 yuan, that would be a small case.
The Mandarin Hotel, which is the Mandarin Oriental Hotel in the future, is the place where Zhang Guorong in his previous life chose to end his life.
This hotel, which opened in 1963, is the leader in the hotel industry under the Land Consortium. In the eyes of many people in Xiangjiang, it has different statuses and is basically on par with the Peninsula Hotel.
The reason why Peninsula Hotel is very famous in the eyes of people in the mainland is that it is mostly because Shaw Yifu and Lu Yuntao chose to have afternoon tea here, so the movie stars of Shaw and Dianmao also followed them to have afternoon tea here. Then the TVB stars of the TVB chose to have afternoon tea here. After this group of TVB stars went out to act in the movie, they still had afternoon tea at the Peninsula Hotel, so Peninsula Hotel became famous with them.
Of course, Peninsula Hotel itself is very famous and can be regarded as the leader of the Xiangjiang hotel industry. Among the dozens of annual selections, it only lost to Wenhua Hotel a few times, and it was the number one in the rest.
From this, when it comes to Mandarin Oriental Hotel, which is now Mandarin Hotel, it is naturally very capable.
Its accommodation conditions and dining environment are not bad at all. Because it is located in the most prosperous and expensive Central Ring Road in Hong Kong, many people in Hong Kong prefer to come here for afternoon tea and dining.
The cost of Wenhua Hotel is not cheap. Yin Jun looked at Guan Zhilin and ordered a pot of milk tea and a pastry set, which was more than 300 yuan, which was basically an ordinary person’s salary of 10 days.
Naturally, the people who come here cannot be ordinary people. Even after 9 o'clock in the evening, there is still a occupancy rate of 60% to 70%.
Today, Yin Jun specially invited Guan Zhilin to go to the movie to have a break after the filming.
This movie is "Ghost Fighting Ghosts" written by Yin Jun to Jiahe last month. Today is the fifth day of its release.
It has been a month since the script was sold to Jiahe in late August. According to the production speed of the Xiangjiang movie, it has only started to be released now, and it has been very meticulously crafted.
Judging from several key jokes and scenes that Yin Jun saw, "Ghost Fights" is at least twice as good-looking and refined as the original work in his previous life.
This is Yin Jun's contribution. He made some adjustments to some unreasonable parts of the original version and too hasty parts.
For example, Zhang Dabang's personality is no longer the kind of messy, sometimes bold, sometimes timid, sometimes irritable, sometimes indecisive. Although there are changes in the situation, in general, a person's personality should be traceable, rather than suddenly changing his personality, which is unreasonable.
The battle between the two brothers of Qian Zhenren and Xu Zhenren is even more exciting, including the fact that they learned the art together to part ways in the end, and even the relative inheritance of the blades, there were also preparations and changes. It was not as abrupt as the original work, which made people feel uncomfortable. Those who don’t know thought they were mortal enemies.
On the other hand, success is naturally due to Jiahe's careful work on the movies.
Jiahe has not yet dug up the treasure of Cheng Long, so he naturally has great support for Hong Jinbao, who is the only one who is likely to fight the Xu brothers. He has provided all kinds of support, and has also spent all his efforts on the scene and post-production processing.
Many Maoshan Techniques, which looked very childish and superficial in their previous lives, have added a lot of effects this time, and they still look a bit similar. Although they are not as powerful as ghost movies that have developed to the peak in the 1990s, considering that it is only 1978, it is already a work of conscience.
In addition to Yin Jun's 1 million script fee, the production fee alone is more than 800,000 yuan. There are also various publicity, which adds up to 1 million yuan. The total cost is 2 million yuan, which is already considered one of the rare big-money works in Xiangjiang, second only to the production cost of the Xu brothers.
Then, in terms of theater releases, Jiahe also tried his best.
Because "The Body Sale" was released at the end of August, and now there are no blockbuster movies in Jiahe Theater, so naturally, all of its 15 cinemas can be placed in "Ghost Fighting Ghosts".
Not only that, Jiahe also contacted 9 other separately operated cinemas and premiered 24 cinemas in one go. This is one of the rare grand occasions in Xiangjiang, and it is the second only to the Xu brothers to perform the screening volume.
It can be said that in addition to money, Jiahe's ambitions are also accumulated on "Ghost Fighting Ghosts".
"Ghost Fighting Ghosts" naturally did not disappoint Jiahe. It won a box office of 570,000 on the day of its premiere. The next day, with another 500,000 box office, which exceeded 1 million in two days.
The box office continued to decline on the third day, at 420,000, and the box office rose to 430,000 on the fourth day because it was Friday. In this way, the total box office in four days reached 1.92 million, which was stronger than "The Seven Days of Mistakes" which did not receive much support at the beginning, but it was not as good as "Selling the Body Deed". In this year's box office record, the total score of four days has been ranked second directly.
However, the momentum of watching "Ghost Fighting Ghosts" is not strong. After this weekend, the box office results may not necessarily reach 3 million. Then, such results are already the limit for release around the four weeks.
Moreover, it is unlikely that 24 cinemas will be released together after the first week, at most, there are 15 cinemas in Jiahe, and even 15 cinemas will not be maintained since the third week.
There is no way, this is the natural law of movie release. Everyone’s movies are like this. Unless you are particularly popular, such an arrangement is already very kind.
It is estimated that the box office of "Ghost Fighting Ghost" in Xiangjiang's local port should not be much of a problem.
Although this is a box office that has accumulated in about a month, others can't make up 5 million yuan if they want to show it for a month.
Jiahe is very satisfied with this start.
Even if a box office of 5 million is not a loss compared to a production cost of 2 million, but as long as the box office exceeds 5 million, it will be a net profit in another place.
With Jiahe's issuance capabilities in Southeast Asia, Japan and South Korea, and their accumulated reputation, it is easy to earn 3-4 million yuan.
A movie can make a net profit of 3-4 million yuan, which is a particularly awesome result in Xiangjiang in 1978. No 10 movies can achieve such results in a year.
Usually other movies cannot make money in Xiangjiang, and then they can rely on other places to make a little more return, the general return rate is 20%-50%. However, considering that the production cycle of a movie is only about one month, such a capital return rate is already very good.
To be continued...
