Chapter 421 Movie Release
On May 8th, all major Xinhua Bookstores across the country received shipments of "The Loyal Dog". On that day, Shi Tingyu received a set of ten sample books of "The Loyal Dog" sent by Xinhua Bookstore in Jinling City.
This was given to Shi Tingyu by the publishing house when they were delivering the goods to Jinling.
Shi Tingyu opened the sample book and took a look. It was basically the same as the book that Editor-in-Chief Luo had sent for proofing.
It was just made more exquisitely.
Shi Tingyu did not go to Xinhua Bookstore to check the sales of the comic book. She had long passed the excitement when it was first published. No matter how much it sold now, it was still a reprint.
But if she didn't go to see it, naturally someone would.
When Shi Tingyu went to class, students rushed to share it with her.
"Professor Shi, I went to Xinhua Bookstore yesterday to support your book, but I didn't expect that I didn't get it in the end."
"Professor Shi, I didn't get it either."
Shi Tingyu saw that the classmates in the class were talking at once, and many of them actually went to Xinhua Bookstore during the break.
"You didn't all go to buy it, did you? You don't have to spend all this to increase my sales."
The students quickly denied it when they heard it.
There is no entertainment now. The comic book industry is recovering at this time, and the demand is hot. They also bought it because they really like to read it.
After hearing this, Shi Tingyu didn't say much.
She was very glad that the "Loyal Dog" series was a more positive comic book, otherwise she would have been socially dead in front of the students.
She wanted to give the sample books to the students, but she roughly counted them. Good guys, there were at least fifteen people who didn't get it.
She only had ten sample books, which were not enough.
So forget it.
On May 10th, the comic book "A Dog's Tale" was still popular, and major newspapers began to promote the movie "A Dog's Tale".
In an instant, "A Dog's Tale" became popular again.
This time, Shi Tingyu was a little nervous.
She had internal movie tickets given by the director, so Shi Tingyu decided to take the family to the cinema to watch a movie.
When Shen Shen heard that they were going to watch a movie, he was so happy that he played around at home.
Li Jian was also howling.
That was his movie! So exciting!
Seeing this, Shen Shen pulled Lu Weiguo's pants and begged, "Dad, let's take Li Jian with us, please~"
Lu Weiguo sighed. It was not that they didn't want to take Li Jian with them, but that dogs were not allowed in cinemas now.
Even if they bring him, they can't get in, and they can't do anything to break the rules and use their power to oppress others.
Li Jian's originally bright eyes dimmed.
It can't even see such a brilliant moment.
Shi Tingyu touched his head and comforted him: "Don't worry, Li Jian, I will definitely let you watch movies in the future."
Lu Weiguo also promised: "I will create an opportunity for you to watch it next time."
Li Jian's face seemed to show some expectations.
Lu Weiguo couldn't bear to let it down, and thought for a while and said: "Next time the camp shows an open-air movie, I can take you to watch it."
With Lu Weiguo's guarantee, Li Jian stayed at home safely.
Shi Tingyu and his friends' movie ticket seats were in the middle and front, which was a good position.
Shen Shen was in the first time to watch a movie in the cinema, and everything he saw was new.
There were people selling melon seeds, peanuts and sugar-roasted chestnuts at the entrance of the cinema.
Lu Weiguo bought some sugar-roasted chestnuts and soda for Shen Shen.
The environment in the cinema is not very good now. Some people are smoking, some are eating, and some people sneak in with one ticket, making it noisy inside.
But even so, it can't extinguish Shen Shen's enthusiasm for watching movies.
Lu Weiguo supported Shi Tingyu to avoid being squeezed by others. The family's seats were connected together. After everyone was seated.
Lu Weiguo asked about his wife beside him.
"Wife, how do you feel?"
Shi Tingyu held her stomach and did not feel any discomfort.
"I'm fine." She said.
She no longer vomits now. If it was a few months ago, she might not be able to stand the air here.
After making sure his wife was okay, Lu Weiguo took out the sugar-roasted chestnuts and started peeling them one by one.
He was responsible for peeling, and his parents, wife and children were responsible for eating.
Seeing this, Shi Tingyu stretched out his hand, peeled one and handed it to Lu Weiguo's mouth.
Lu Weiguo raised his eyes and saw the gentle eyes of his wife. He looked into her eyes, opened his mouth and ate the intact chestnut kernel into his mouth.
Shi Tingyu frowned and wanted to peel another one for him. Lu Weiguo whispered: "I'll peel it."
Shi Tingyu stopped when he saw that he couldn't get any chestnuts.
Shen Shen looked at him with blinking eyes, and smiled secretly with her hands covering her mouth.
Shi Tingyu turned around and met Shen Shen's eyes. She rubbed Shen Shen's head helplessly, "The little brat heard people whispering again."
Shen Shen didn't admit it. "Shen Shen didn't. Shen Shen just wanted to eat chestnuts."
Lu Weiguo handed a peeled chestnut to Shen Shen, "Eat it."
With food, Shen Shen's eyes were diverted.
Soon the movie started, and everyone quieted down. Shen Shen watched it very seriously.
Seeing the stones inside, Shen Shen felt proud.
This was all taught by his family's Li Jian.
"The Loyal Dog" has a tight plot and a good concept. Some of the cases did not really happen in this era. Many of them were bizarre cases she encountered when she was a portrait artist in her previous life. She added color to them and drew them into the comic strip.
The bizarre cases in the movie make people nervous.
The performance of the stone is remarkable.
Its human appearance opened the eyes of the audience.
Every time Zhuifeng in the movie completed a difficult action, there would be a burst of exclamations in the dark theater.
Three comic strips are condensed into one movie. It can be said that every scene is high-energy, and you will miss important clues if you are not careful.
When Shi Tingyu was creating "The Loyal Dog", he also arranged the highlights and excitement reasonably. In the current entertainment desert, the audience can't stop watching and their adrenaline surges throughout the whole show.
The one and a half hour movie ended quickly.
Everyone was still not satisfied, and many people didn't want to leave.
When Shi Tingyu and her friends walked out, they could still hear the sound of children praising Zhuifeng around. She also saw a child lying on the ground and rolling around to get a dog. In the end, he was picked up by his old father and spanked twice before he stopped.
Shen Shen's eyes were amazingly bright.
He felt that he was better than many children, and the prototype of Zhuifeng was in his home.
There were still two hours before the second movie was to be shown. Shi Tingyu noticed that many people were lingering around and had not left.
She also heard that someone wanted to watch the second show.
But they were preparing to go back.
Sitting in the car, Shen Shen was very excited and insisted on taking the remaining sugar-roasted chestnuts back for Li Jian to eat.
Shi Tingyu quickly stopped her, saying that these chestnuts were roasted with sugar and dogs could not eat them. Excessive sugar intake would increase the burden on the dog's kidneys.
Shen Shen didn't understand anything else, but she knew that Li Jian could not eat these sugar-roasted chestnuts because they would be bad for his health.
Seeing that his grandson was a little disappointed, Father Lu bought a few large bones when he passed by the vegetable market and brought them back for Li Jian to have a snack. Shen Shen
's weather immediately turned from cloudy to sunny.
After a few days of word-of-mouth fermentation, the fame of "The Loyal Dog" reached its peak.
Lu Weiguo was originally thinking about whether to show "The Loyal Dog" during the outdoor movie screenings in the camp, and whether he should mention it for Li Jian. However, before he could mention it, the higher-ups directly arranged the screening of the movie "The Loyal Dog".
Now he doesn't have to make any unnecessary efforts.
In the words of the camp leader, Li Jian and Shitou both came from the military dog base in their camp, and Li Jian helped their camp a lot. The movie happened to involve some military matters, so it would be a bit unreasonable for their camp not to play "The Loyal Dog".
