Chapter 159 159

Jiang Xi has never questioned her ability to take exams, regardless of her past and present lives.

Many people have said that she has good luck in her career, and she admits that she is indeed lucky, but the premise for catching those lucks every time is that she has done a lot of homework in advance and has a plan in mind.

Compared to the unpredictable emotions that make people's emotions fluctuate, career is indeed something she can control.

She has never thought that there is anything wrong with women holding power. If they don't fight for it, then who will speak for women, who will fight for more rights for women, and how to ensure that the power that women have now will not be eaten up and oppressed by others little by little in the future, just like in ancient times?

This is what Jiang Xi fears.

The power they have now was won by the blood of many women in their past. Why don't they fight for it? Why give up what they can fight for?

So as long as she can, she will try her best to fight for it. Even if there are all kinds of oppression and obstruction, she will enjoy it like a soldier on the battlefield.

Maybe in the whole history, she is as weak as a speck of dust and can't stir up a wave, but she has worked hard for it.

After Jiang Xi made the decision, she felt relieved and the smile on her face became real.

Song Peifeng saw her and asked her what was going on. She was so happy.

Jiang Xi smiled and shared with him, "I have decided to stay in Beijing and take the civil service exam in the future."

She knew that Song Peifeng would definitely pursue a career in politics in the future, but he had his own path, and it would not affect her own path.

None of them had to give in to anyone. There were so many outstanding women in their predecessors, and they did not say that they had to make way for their husbands and become their vassals.

If she could have it all, it would be the best. If not, and she had to choose between career and love, she would definitely choose career over love.

Of course, these thoughts were only fleeting in her mind. When she raised her eyes, she was already looking at Song Peifeng with a smile.

Song Peifeng did not think there was anything wrong with her choice. He even had the idea of ​​staying in Beijing with her in the future, becoming revolutionary comrades, and moving forward hand in hand.

Jiang Xi only mentioned a future career direction, but he had already thought about their future life as a revolutionary couple who would discuss things together.

Such a combination is very common in his family circle, and even his ideal family relationship should be like this.

The final exams are coming. Although Song Peifeng and Jiang Xi have audited many courses in their respective schools this year, they do not need to take the exams together this year. They will have to wait until next year when they enter school with the new students. If they have already completed the courses, they can take the exams in advance.

Director Yu also brought his creative team to Shanghai for a publicity roadshow.

At the same time, the magazine "Wu Xia" and its posters began to be posted in newsstands, train stations, and school bookstores across the country. The posters announced, "Congratulations! The movie "White Snake", adapted from the cute work "White Snake's Cultivation of Immortality", will be released nationwide on January 21, 1998. Stay tuned!" '

Not only major newsstands, but also bookstores cooperating with the publishing house have hung up this promotional poster. In addition to congratulating Xi Meng on the release of the movie version of "White Snake", the complete collector's edition of "White Snake Cultivation" and the collector's edition of "Song Dynasty" are also placed in the most conspicuous positions in major bookstores. Under the huge and conspicuous poster, there are piles of beautifully printed books, and it is said that signed editions are also mixed in. It depends on the luck of the book lovers who can buy Xi Meng's autographed edition.

Ever since the rumor spread online that Ximeng might be beautiful enough to play the heroine of White Snake, or that she might fall so hard that she could play the roles of Xu Xian and Mingyue, both male and female readers of Ximeng have become even more enthusiastic and crazy. This enthusiasm and craziness is more like a trend-following meme. "Ximeng" is no longer just an author's name, but more like a fashion label. If you don't participate in this hot topic and don't know this meme, you're out. Who among the young people at this time is not a fashion trendsetter who walks at the forefront of time? Who would admit that they are bumpy?

Those who bought the signed book are even more crazy showing off on the Internet.

In this era, online forums are definitely the latest and most fashionable things that walk at the forefront of fashion.

Jiang Song is a trendsetter in the Internet of this era. He has nothing to do online except playing games and occasionally browsing forums. Naturally, he saw this movie and the movie poster on the Internet.

The movie poster is a photo taken by netizens from a bookstore. The picture is not big and a little blurry. In the poster, in addition to the female protagonist White Snake, Xu Xian and the actors of Fahai who have the largest photos in the front, Tong Jin Gang and Jiang Bai occupy the back corner of the promotional poster, and the photos are also the smallest.

Jiang Song only took a look and didn't look at it again. The girl next to him saw it, but pulled Jiang Song to act coquettishly and made an appointment with him in advance to go to the movie with him.

She is not Jiang Song's girlfriend. Jiang Song's girlfriend is taking the final exam at school at this time.

Jiang Song knew that she was not his girlfriend, but he could not stand the girl's coquettishness. He nodded helplessly and said, "Okay, okay, let's wait until the movie is released and go watch it."

The girl excitedly stretched out her little finger: "Hook!"

Jiang Song was amused by the girl's childish behavior, but he enjoyed the girl's admiration and love for him very much. He stretched out his slender and big palm and hooked it with the girl's not-so-tender fingers.

However, he still told her in advance: "It's winter vacation on the day when the movie is released, I will definitely pick up my girlfriend, you can choose a time later."

The girl was about to cry, but she said sensibly: "I know, you want to accompany your sister-in-law, I'm just your sister, it's okay for me." She said coquettishly: "You can also bring your sister-in-law to watch it together~"

Jiang Song couldn't stand the girl being so coquettish and soft with him. Once she acted coquettishly, he lost his mind and even thought that the girl was right. She was just a sister, and it was nothing to bring his girlfriend to watch a movie with everyone.

He even wanted to invite two good friends to come, so that everyone could have dinner together after watching the movie.

He has been good-looking since he was a child. Not to mention when he was in school, even when he was in the village, the girls in the village liked to play with him. He had countless female friends, all of whom were his good friends. Even when they were 18 or 19 years old, at the age of marriage, they still couldn't forget him, but they were too shy to say it, and they just hid this secret love in their hearts, leaving only pure friendship.

Jiang Song was always surrounded by girls. He got along well with each of them. If they asked him for help, he would be there at any time, warm and considerate. But at the same time, he knew very well in his heart who his girlfriend was. His girlfriend was always the first in his heart. As for the other girls, he was like a straight man, and he had to make way for his girlfriend.

When the girl was so coquettish and timid, asking him to bring his girlfriend to watch the movie, he thought it was feasible, and he also thought the girl was silly and cute, so he stretched out his big hand to rub the girl's hair: "Silly girl."

The girl laughed and continued to play games with him, praising him in various ways.

Director Yu hadn't even finished the promotional roadshow with his creative team, and the Internet was already hotly discussing the release of the movie "White Snake" and the anticipation of it. Everyone was going to the cinema to support the cute.

The hottest movie in the cinema at this time is "Party A and Party B", which has just been released for less than a month. This movie is also adapted from the work of a popular male author. The actors in it are all big names in the film industry. This movie, which is also advertised as a New Year's film, has soared in box office since its release. Now, after more than 20 days of release, it has already raked in nearly 20 million in box office. The winter vacation is coming soon, and the box office is expected to rise again.

The movie "White Snake" has avoided the most rapid rise of this movie, but has reached the peak of movie-watching traffic, which is January 21, the first day of winter vacation.

The cute readers who have been waiting for this movie to be released have been waiting for this day. The movie was released in the evening. Readers of "White Snake Cultivation" all over the country knew the specific date and time of the release from "Wuxia" and bookstore posters. Many student parties who had just finished their exams and needed to relax ran to the cinema after dinner.

Some brought their younger brothers and sisters, and some were female classmates and good friends.

These student parties had no interest in movies like "Party A and Party B" and directly asked for tickets for "White Snake".

Fifteen yuan a movie ticket was a lot of money for many people at that time, but it was affordable for some people in the city. Even in some town theaters, there were many people who had worked outside for a year and went home to see a movie at the end of the year. They brought their blind date or their fashion buddies to watch a movie together.

That night, Director Yu could be said to have not slept all night, anxiously waiting for the box office results on the first day of the release.

Although the film White Snake received positive reviews from students at Beijing University during the roadshow, and the subsequent responses also said that it was a good movie and they would take their whole family to watch it, Director Yu was still very worried about the box office of White Snake, as there was an excellent film called Party A and Party B in the past, and both films were released during the winter vacation. He was afraid that under the influence of Party A and Party B, the film would be suppressed like other films released at the same time and would have no impact at all.

At that time, the Internet and communications were not as developed as in later times, and the first-day box office he could see was only the box office in Beijing, which was the base camp of the main creative team of Party A and Party B.

Director Yu's wife saw her husband was so anxious, so she poured him a glass of water

and said, "You have been busy for so long, you should go to sleep for a while, I will call you when the box office comes out." Director Yu rubbed his face and said to his wife, "I am not sleepy, make me a cup of strong tea."

The total investment of this movie is 7 million, and he invested hundreds of thousands of dollars himself, which can be said to be all his wealth. Not only that, he also borrowed a lot of money, so he couldn't help but be nervous and take it seriously.

He has been making phone calls since six or seven in the morning, asking about the first day's box office, but many people were not at work at this time, so it was useless for him to be anxious.

Originally, his expectations for the first day's box office had dropped to the lowest point, but he didn't expect that at around eight o'clock, his friend finally called him.

The first day box office of "White Snake" was unexpectedly high.
