"How can this be! Then, our Ah Bei's new movie won't be released for just one day! I was planning to organize a group of old sisters to watch it together this weekend!"
Sister Wang’s worries were not groundless. After "Crane City by the Sea" was released, it was only ranked third in the screening schedule that day.
In fact, people in the industry are all well aware that the third place screening schedule was given by the theater chain out of respect for Zhou Yiyang.
This kind of art film has no popular traffic, no marketing hot spots, and the title doesn't even tell what the director wants to say. If it weren't produced by Zhou Yiyang, it might only have a few screenings on the first day, and then within a few days, the movie would have completely disappeared.
"Mr. Zhou," Guan Fei pushed open the office door. When she saw Zhou Yiyang, she whispered, "The first batch of film reviews are coming out soon."
At this time, Zhou Yiyang, who was busy with a new variety show, looked up and nodded. He looked very calm, completely different from what the outside world described.
The rumors about Zhou Yiyang on the Internet are very exaggerated, saying that he is the kind of person who loves money to the point of being somewhat pathological.
Some people also said that they were employees of Yi Yang Entertainment and saw Zhou Yi Yang going crazy in the office with their own eyes, just because "Crane City by the Sea" was going to lose money.
Guan Fei glanced at Zhou Yiyang, who seemed quite happy. "Brother Yang, the film's schedule is not only poor, but the attendance is also average. Aren't we promoting it? After all, it's Director Zhang's masterpiece!"
After she said this, she covered her mouth in fear.
However, Zhou Yiyang didn't care. He raised his head and whispered, "It's okay. We've waited for so long, it's okay to wait a little longer. After the reviews come out, we'll make adjustments based on them."
"Yeah." Guan Fei nodded: "I was too impatient."
"It's okay," Zhou Yiyang said very modestly, "but you can read the gossip on the Internet, but don't believe it."
"I understand, Mr. Zhou." Guan Fei immediately nodded seriously: "Then I'll be leaving first."
"No need, let's take a look at the movie reviews together!" Zhou Yiyang kept refreshing the homepage of Weibo. It would be very interesting if a movie that seemed to have been ignored by everyone could make a comeback.
At the same time, Su Yin was lying on a narrow bed, but she didn't seem to feel aggrieved by the situation. She just wanted to laugh while holding her phone.
"Are you going into the cinema now?" Su Yin asked in a low voice.
Opposite her, Tang Yue's face looked very vivid.
After she heard Su Yin's words, she reacted for a few seconds before speaking:
"Yes, we're already at the cinema entrance. But what about you, what have you been doing these days?"
Wang Xingrui pushed Tang Yue aside with great effort, then waved excitedly at Su Yin: "Baby, you look thinner! Xuan'er is selling popcorn!"
"It must be delicious!" Su Yin chuckled. "I've been wandering around this city these past few days, visiting many places. I have to say it's quite fun, just like traveling."
Listening to Su Yin's words, Tang Yue beside her looked a little envious: "You are actually traveling, this is awesome! We have been on the set these days!"
"It should be fun on the set," Su Yin heard a knock on the door, and she supported the selfie stick with one hand while holding the door handle with the other.
She first cautiously moved closer to the peephole, and after seeing that the person outside was Zhang Yiling, she smiled and opened the door.
Zhang Yiling was about to hug Su Yin when she noticed the device in her hand: "Who are you video calling?"
Zhang Yiling asked Su Yin using her mouth.
"Tang Yue and the others, Yiling, do you want to say hello to them?" Su Yin handed the phone to Zhang Yiling with a smile.
At this time, Lin Xuaner came back with three big buckets of popcorn.
In fact, she had never had the habit of eating popcorn when watching movies before, but after spending a long time with Su Yin, she found that she actually accepted this habit. When she arrived at the cinema just now, she couldn't help but want to buy popcorn.
"Xuan'er! Tangtang! Sister Ruirui! Hello!" Zhang Yiling waved her hands, looking like their little fan: "Long time no see!"
"Hello, great director!" Tang Yue blew her a kiss and asked, "When will you ask me to work with you?"
Zhang Yiling immediately showed an expression of being flattered: "As long as you're willing, you can come anytime! I was worried you wouldn't come! You'll soon be the heroine of a billion-dollar box office hit!"
"Oh, it's just a false reputation." Tang Yue said modestly, "Did Xiao Xiao Su cause any trouble with you?"
"Hey, I'm still listening!" Su Yin straightened up and said seriously.
If they weren't about to go into the theater to watch a movie, Lin Xuan'er doubted that Tang Yue and Su Yin would have been able to bicker childishly for hours.
After hanging up the phone, Zhang Yiling looked at Su Yin mysteriously: "Let's go!"
"Where are we going?" Su Yin asked immediately. According to her original plan, she was going to read the script in this room today to give her body a break.
However, when she thought about going out to play, her eyes still showed passion.
"Of course, we're going to the movies," Zhang Yiling said, spreading her palm. It turned out to be the mysterious gift she'd prepared. "Didn't you tell me you wanted to go see it?"
"Where did you get it?" Su Yin looked at the movie ticket, as if it were gold. "I remember there were only two movie theaters in this city, and neither of them was showing 'Crane City by the Sea'."
This situation also exists and is very common in some small cities. In order to make money, theater managers often give screenings to the most popular movies.
