night.
It's deep.
One by one, the "Red Orchid" cigarettes entered his lungs, and he smoked them one by one without interruption.
Fatty Wei paced back and forth in the new office.
He felt as if there were rabbits jumping around in his heart, and he was always feeling nervous.
How much is the movie box office?
How much will it be?
in the end……
"You, My Deskmate" is so important to him!
This is his first movie that truly does not rely on Lu Yuan.
Let’s not talk about how this movie performs at the box office, but at least it won’t flop, right?
Although the response in the cinemas has always been good, and he also knows that the reputation of the movie he made is not bad.
but……
He is still worried!
No matter what the outside world says, as long as the box office is not released, everything is unknown.
Everything...
no the same.
He turned his head silently and looked out the window.
There is no moon tonight.
The sky was pitch black.
He took out his cell phone and dialed a number.
"Hello? Tingting...are you asleep?"
"It's so late, what do you think?"
"Tingting, I'm a little nervous... Can you talk to me?"
"About the box office of 'My Deskmate'?"
"Yes... I, I'm really nervous now. I'm afraid that if the movie fails at the box office, I'll be really sorry to Ayuan..." Fatty Wei felt complicated when he thought about the year-end bonus of nearly 20 million.
What kind of impression does Lu Yuan have of him?
I’m not a stingy person, but I’m definitely not a generous person, right?
At least……
There is no way to get rid of the idea of being stingy.
But what does it mean that under such circumstances, one can take out so much money at one time and give it to oneself?
It represents trust, respect, and the irreplaceable brotherhood of trust.
Naturally, he didn't want Lu Yuan to be disappointed.
So at this moment he was more eager to succeed than anyone else and to prove his value in the company.
"Mr. Lu doesn't care about these things..."
"But I care. Our company is getting bigger and bigger. As a veteran of the company, I am now a signboard and a role model! Others can fail and go bust, but I can't. Otherwise, where will I, an old man, put my face..."
"Actually, you just want to prove yourself... You feel your position in the company is in jeopardy."
"Um……"
"This is unlike you. I remember when I first met you, you were a very proud person, even a little arrogant..."
"But people always change." Fatty Wei suddenly shook his head.
People do change.
At the same time, it will indeed grow slowly.
Before meeting Lu Yuan, he was indeed a very proud and arrogant person, and felt that he was the best in the world!
But after meeting Lu Yuan and going through a series of things, he discovered that his so-called arrogance and talent were nothing compared to Lu Yuan, just like the light of a firefly compared to the bright moon!
At the same time, Lu Yuan's attitude towards life is also subtly changing Lu Yuan...
In Fatty Wei's eyes, Lu Yuan has always been a modest and cautious person who never brags and always maintains a humble attitude. He has never looked down on anyone because of his pride, and has never been complacent because of his record-breaking box office performance.
He always maintained a peaceful attitude.
So, after spending so much time in contact with such people, how can this Fatty Wei still be so arrogant?
After all, even someone as awesome as Lu Yuan is so humble, so what am I?
Arrogant?
Isn't arrogance ridiculous?
"Very good... Really very good."
“Tingting…”
"Don't be so affectionate, just say what you want to say..."
"I love you……"
“…”
"I've watched 'A Chinese Odyssey', so I know the story of Zhizunbao and Zixia Fairy. So, I don't want to regret it... I don't want to miss anything."
“…”
"I once had a true love in front of me, but I didn't cherish it..."
"Alright, alright, you can fool little girls with this trick, but forget about fooling me. I'm a little tired and I want to sleep."
"If this movie blows up, will you officially be with me?"
"Let's talk about it after you become famous. I still have to work on the Spring Festival Gala tomorrow. Good night. By the way, don't worry too much about the box office and gains and losses. Believe in yourself. I've seen the movie, it's pretty good."
"Um……"
Wu Tingting on the other end of the phone hung up.
When Wu Tingting's appearance appeared in his mind, Fatty Wei's originally nervous mood turned into excitement.
He suddenly found that he was not so nervous anymore.
Wu Tingting did not refuse.
So, what does it mean?
agree?
call!
Very good!
Just as Fatty Wei's smile gradually grew brighter and his expression slowly became closer to that of an idiot, Qian Zhong rushed in hurriedly holding a stack of information, his face full of excitement.
"Director Wei, the box office is out!"
"How many?"
"Fourteen million!"
"How much?" Fatty Wei was stunned and asked again!
"The first day's box office was 14 million!"
"Fuck!"
After hearing this data, Fatty Wei's heart skipped a beat.
A feeling of suffocation came over me!
After he took the box office report, he stared at every data on it!
He was a little bit unbelievable!
I find all this incredibly unbelievable...
"Wait, we didn't steal the box office, did we?"
"Director Wei, given our company's corporate culture, would we do these things? Director Wei, this is true, it's completely true!"
"Very good!"
Fatty Wei looked at the data again and made sure that he was not mistaken!
The whole person began to tremble with excitement.
"So, what is the number of "Assembly"? "
"Twenty-eight million."
"What, half as good as me?" Fatty Wei was a little confused for a moment.
"Well, Director Wei, the investment in Assembly was nearly 100 million yuan, and our film, from filming to production to promotion, cost less than 6 million yuan in total..."
"I understand! Right! Right! I won, right! Haha, I won, I won, at least, judging from the ratio of investment and box office, I won, hahaha!"
The stagnation lasted only a moment.
Then.
After hearing Qian Zhong's words, Fatty Wei felt like his head exploded!
In an instant, he burst into laughter like crazy!
Then……
He felt very uncomfortable.
He looked out the window.
At this time...
He found that it was snowing outside the window.
Snowflakes floated down from the sky...
Under the light below, it seems particularly bright and beautiful...
This moment...
Sudden!
"Ah! Hahaha! I succeeded, I succeeded, hahaha! At least, I won once, hahaha!"
"Hahahaha, I won, did you see that? I won, haha, I won!"
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Fatty Wei rushed out of the window like a madman and howled with all his might!
It was as if all the grievances, uneasiness, and rebellious anger in his heart were vented out.
He thought about the scenes from his childhood to adulthood, and the scenes after he grows up!
In this life!
For the first time, he defeated his father fairly.
"Grass……"
"What a psycho!"
"Damn it! You're not sleeping so late at night... Are you sick?"
"Fuck!"
"Which psychopath is that..."
“…”
Suddenly, lights lit up in the residential area in the distance, and there were bursts of cursing.
After Fatty Wei finished yelling, he realized something was wrong and quickly retracted his head and closed the window.
"Director Wei..."
"You didn't see anything, go down."
"yes……"
After Qian Zhong left, Fatty Wei couldn't suppress his excitement and called Wu Tingting.
"Hey! Tingting, let's be together, I'm exploded!"
"???"
…
"The battle between father and son, Wei Wuji and Wei Changjun, although they are father and son, they have always been rivals!"
"Surprise! The battle between father and son has officially begun! "Assembly" won the first place at the box office with 28 million, and "My Deskmate" won 14 million, and it paid off in one day!"
"Wei Changjun: "My Deskmate" is good, but he is still far from it..."
"Victory? Failure? Did "My Deskmate" win or lose to "Assembly"? "
"Wei Wuji: I just wanted to prove myself. Many people doubted my talent before, but now, I have done it. I am the best director! There is no doubt that I am the best director!"
“…”
January 16th, noon!
After "Assembly" and "My Deskmate" became popular at the same time, all major pages in the entertainment industry were filled with all kinds of news!
The Chaoyang Entertainment News even exposed the differences between Wei Wuji and Wei Changjun since childhood, and even wrote the grievances between the father and son clearly as if they had seen it with their own eyes.
Anyway…
Differences in ideas, disagreements between father and son, and a fight...
Just like writing a martial arts novel, the plot is written to perfection.
One is a veteran director, the other is a new director...
Insider information about various conflicts, disputes, etc. has always been the focus of netizens.
They were so curious that they found it so interesting!
They suddenly felt that reading Chaoyang Entertainment News was much more interesting than any other entertainment newspaper.
The content inside is full of excitement and is extremely exciting!
After Zhou Shuai's exaggeration, the sales of Chaoyang Entertainment News on that day reached an unprecedented high, exceeding 95,000 copies and directly crushing the China Peripheral Entertainment News!
Even the number of copies is only 5,000 away from 100,000...
Zhou Shuai was so happy!
Lu Yuan was delighted with his fortune.
Not to mention Fatty Wei who was immersed in the joy of his own success!
October 17th!
The second day’s box office results are out!
"You, My Deskmate" has become a hit again!
The box office exceeded 17 million!
As for "Assembly", thanks to the support and publicity from various official channels, the box office exceeded 32 million!
The Chinese film industry seems to have gained an incredible new lease of life!
but……
The headlines in the entertainment industry this morning were not "Assembly" or "You, My Deskmate"!
In fact, the popularity of these two movies can only rank third in the entertainment industry headlines!
Why?
Because the box office of "A Chinese Odyssey" has officially exceeded 1 billion!
It officially became the first Chinese movie to break the billion box office, ushering in a new era for Chinese films.
Another thing is that “remote” entertainment has suddenly moved!
Moved from Hengdian to Hangzhou.
They moved suddenly without any noise or even any notification!
If a reporter hadn't taken a photo of Lu Yuan and a certain girl suspected of making a snowman in the snow, and discovered that Hengdian's "Remote Entertainment" was always closed and even the security guards were missing, people in the circle would have no idea that the old "Remote Entertainment" was suddenly deserted!
and……
They discovered that Lu Yuan, who had been keeping a low profile for such a long time, had actually done such a big thing quietly?
…
"Hello... Mr. Lu, I'm a reporter from Huaxia Southeast Newspaper. Can I do an exclusive interview with you?"
"Hello, Mr. Lu, I want to see you..."
"Hello, Mr. Lu, I would like to ask you, what do you think about the future?"
"Hello, Mr. Lu..."
“…”
Early the next morning, when Lu Yuan got up, he saw countless reporters surrounding the house.
He was stunned for a moment!
this……
A zombie siege?
