Chapter 30 Box Office

"That's great! Do you want to adopt sister Yinyin as your daughter and let her be my big sister?" Shuangshuang, pretending to be a couple, said this to their father Ajie with an innocent look on their faces.

Seeing the father Ajie, played by Xu Gujie, speechless on the screen, and then stammering to explain, "No, I want to marry Yinyin, and I have already bought the engagement ring," the audience in the cinema laughed uncontrollably: This kid is too naughty!

But it's not her fault. Before, Yinyin pretended to be a good person to win favor, but she turned around and bullied his daughter when Ajie was not around. It's no wonder that Shuangshuang wanted to make fun of her.

Not only did he play a prank on her, he also secretly called his sister Duidui who was in Taiwan, asking her to find a way to bring his biological mother Niyun over - so the plot in the promotional video makes sense: the impolite words Shuangshuang said on the phone were directed to his sister Duidui.

Then, the little girl who appeared in the restaurant with her mother and took Ajie away was actually Dui Dui.

The popular character types nowadays are absolute loyal and treacherous, good and bad. Most audiences don't like the idea that villains also have bright spots and protagonists also have mistakes.

Taking into account that half of the audience are children with different cognitive levels, Su Yun did not create many complex characters. The good guys who are honest and straightforward are absolutely good guys, and the bad guys are absolutely bad guys.

It's just a pity that the beautiful Zhao Yinyin has to play the mistress who is hated by naughty kids.

Fortunately, Zhao Yinyin probably has "self-knowledge" and knows that her looks don't lend themselves well to playing good characters, and she definitely can't play the role of Zhao Xiashi's aunt, so there is no objection and she just relies on her looks to "play her true self".

As the plot develops, with the help of his aunt A Shi and uncle Fa Zai, who have recognized the true identities of Shuang Shuang and Dui Dui first, Dui Dui first apologized to and hugged his loving grandfather, and then went to tell his biological mother Ni Yun the truth.

Naturally, Niyun comforted Duidu with a loving face, and then said that their adults could solve everything and told Duidu not to worry.

The next second, the scene changed, and Ni Yun, who had always been elegant, had a troubled look on her face, and told Fa Zai distressedly that she had no way to solve the problem - this slap in the face came too quickly, and the audience burst into laughter again.

When the two parties successfully joined forces, facing two identical little girls, Yinyin was so scared that she almost collapsed on the spot: "When you were dating me, you didn't tell me that your daughters were twins!"

"It's okay, he didn't tell me." Duidui tugged at her skirt with a smile, then exchanged glances with his sister.

The jokes are endless, but the plot also progresses.

With the help of their grandfather, Shuangshuang and Duidui brought their parents to a special private room that was decorated to look like the interior of a ship, and invited them to have a meal and chat.

After each of them pressed their parents down on the chairs, the two naughty kids each dragged their own small stools and ran away.

Helplessly, Ajie and Niyun, who had been relatively speechless, finally started talking.

"We were too young at that time and quarreled over trivial matters - By the way, what did I throw at you then?" Ni Yun recalled, but felt that her memory had become blurred due to deliberate forgetfulness.

"It was a pen, and then I got angry with you..." Ajie smiled.

"Then I took my luggage and boarded the boat." At this point, Ni Yun paused, "I thought you would chase after me..."

"I thought you wouldn't want me to catch up with you..." Ajie murmured.

Perhaps in comedy, there is always a trace of unavoidable regret, which makes it more unforgettable.

The adult who had been smiling all the time finally put away his relaxed smile.

"Daddy, why are you crying?" The child, who was held by his parents, felt the water dripping from above and was a little confused. "I thought it was raining."

"I'm not crying, there's just sand in my eyes." Wipe away the tears that shouldn't be there, and you will become an impeccable adult again.

Of course, the family comedy ends with Ajie and Niyun, who have already vaguely confirmed their feelings, taking everyone to Lamma Island for inspection again.

The truth that Yin Yin and old battalion commander Luo Xian were actually mother and daughter was accidentally discovered. Then it became clear that it was these two mother and daughter who knew the news that Ajie's company, which had been half-dead, would soon receive an investment from a big boss.

Once A-jie's company receives the capital injection and buys the land on Lamma Island for development, they will be rich!

After secretly locking the children who came out to reminisce under the cover of night into the punishment cabin to prevent them from ruining the engagement party that evening, the gloomy expression of old Battalion Commander Luo Xian under the lightning scared many children to tears.

It was not until the terrifying old battalion commander Luo Xian left that the three fishermen brothers Jiaju, Jiaxiang and Jiayang, who had also heard the truth in the dark, appeared. The frightened children finally came to their senses: "Go save them! Let's go and defeat those two bad guys together!"

Isn’t this the plot of a promotional film for children?

Under the expectation of everyone, this group of naughty children, who were once hostile to each other but supported each other in times of crisis, successfully ruined the engagement party with a series of jokes and crushed the conspiracy of the bad mother and daughter.

"Fortunately, this time, what she threw over was an engagement ring." Ajie, who was injured several times by the naughty kids, smiled bitterly and raised it to show Niyun.

Afterwards, as the boss, Ajie gave assurances to the fishermen who were worried about their lives after the development of the island. After explaining the future recruitment situation and benefits of the resort, he finally gained the understanding and support of the fishermen.

After confirming that her ex-husband's company had overcome the difficulties and would have a bright future, and after saying goodbye to those simple fishermen's children, Niyun took Shuangshuang and Fazai, packed up everything, and prepared to return to Taiwan.

This time, the people behind did not catch up.

Seeing Niyun returning to her home in Taiwan with her children and brother with a lonely look on her face, and the background music of "Pear Swirl's Smile" about to end, many viewers have already started to gather their strength and prepare for a big "fuck".

Afterwards, on the desk where grandpa was supposed to be reading a newspaper, the newspaper fell down, revealing a little face that looked exactly like Shuangshuang.

"Mom, did you know that the new large ship is one third faster than the old model you are on?" Duidui blinked.

Afterwards, Ajie also walked out from behind the bookshelf, his eyes full of deep affection: "This time, whether you want it or not, I have already caught up with you."

As the two hugged each other with tears in their eyes, there was a round of warm applause and cheers in the venue.

I thought the show was over and it was time to go home, but unexpectedly, as the ending song "Sweet Honey" sounded, photos slowly flashed on the dark screen.

From the big family photo, to another wedding photo of Ajie and Niyun, to the hand-holding photo of Fa Zai and Ah Shi... in the end, the two little girls, Shuangshuang and Duidui, who look exactly the same, stood on the left and right facing the audience with the brightest smiles, marking the end of the movie.

That smile was so brilliant and extraordinary, and it was X2, which made many people couldn't help but smile knowingly.

However, when seeing that the box office on the first day was only 58,000, some people secretly laughed at the fact that this "failure" was really a bad thing. This movie that used a group of naughty children as a selling point is expected to fail.

The second day was Sunday, and the average attendance rate reached 65%, which seemed a little better. The cumulative box office for two days at least exceeded 200,000.

On the third day, Monday, when most movies would start to show signs of fatigue, the attendance rate of "The Perfect Match" suddenly soared to 87%, and the cumulative box office in three days exceeded 500,000!

When people get pleasure from something, they will probably subconsciously recommend it to their relatives and friends so that they don't miss out on the good things.

Thanks to word of mouth among children and parents, more and more people went to the cinema, planning to watch "The Perfect Match" with their families.

Perhaps this is the power of family movies. Word of mouth spreads from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred. And often, this "one" refers to the whole family.

The fourth day, the fifth day... After the first week's box office revenue of 2.33 million came out, all those who had previously predicted the film's failure fell silent.

There are still three weeks to go, and breaking 3 or 4 is no longer a problem for the audience in the enthusiastic queue. What everyone is watching is whether this "simply ridiculous" movie can break 5.

Because it was backed by Jiahe, which was competing with Zhao's films, this dark horse that emerged from a crowd of martial arts films, costume films, etc., and with the complex gazes of thousands of people, it climbed step by step to the highest position on the box office statistics list.

The first quarter box office rankings of movies in 1973: No. 1, Jiahe Films; Production: 3; Highest: "The Perfect Match" 5.2 million!

The numbers are quite auspicious and consistent with the plot... Su Yun thought to himself as he looked at the data that was fed back.

Compared to the 5.3 million box office of Lu Shaolong's "Enter the Dragon" last year, although it is 100,000 less, but considering that these are basically all newcomers who are filming a movie for the first time, this box office number can be said to be a miracle!

There are those who are envious, and there are even more who are jealous...

Holding the gossip magazine in her hand, Su Yun opened it with great interest, with the cover of a gossip magazine with the eye-catching title "Killing both big and small, killing without compensation - "The perfect match" to find a way to grab the box office" After reading the relevant articles in it: The general idea is that their "Made in Heaven" just relied on special effects and stories to grab a novelty, tricking children and dragging the adults in the family to come up with this amazing box office, and this time it was an incredible success. Copy.

Because after this incident, others have also seen the appeal of children to the film market, and there will definitely be film companies that will follow suit in the future...

Yes, the box office results have only been out for a short time and several small companies have already said they want to make children's comedy films.

They also said that it would be released in two weeks at the latest.

Faced with these shameless faces who even wanted to "follow the trend" in production time, Su Yun threw up her hands and continued to settle accounts with the Xu brothers.

After deducting the share of each layer and other miscellaneous expenses, when the Hong Kong box office is divided among the three of them, the net profit is about 500,000...

It's not all credited at once.

It doesn’t matter. Everything is difficult at the beginning, but once the foundation is in place, the subsequent negotiations will be easy.

What’s more, Su Yun’s profits are more than that - most of the costumes in the movie are defective foreign trade goods and backlog goods from the factories owned by the Wang couple.

With the opportunity of using these children as human-shaped self-propelled display racks, the factory, which had been suffering from a backlog of goods and difficulty in capital turnover, began to promote "double shirts", "pairs of overalls", "Sisters' outfits of Damei and Xiaomei", "Brothers' outfits of the three fishing brothers", etc., and sold a large number of goods to various garment stores in exchange for a large amount of funds that could be used flexibly.

Seeing the TV next to him still talking about the unrepeatable success of "The Perfect Match", Xu Guwen turned it off: "People without talent will just continue to follow the trend and follow the path paved by others; those of us who have pioneered the way will definitely continue to open up new paths!"

Oh, by the way, the reason Xu Guwen left Zhao's family was because he had a story he wanted to film, but Zhao didn't support him.

"Do you need help?" Su Yun asked.

"Let's wait for my elder brother to write the story first, what about you?" Xu Gujie asked after answering.

"I'm also thinking of a new story..." Su Yun replied.

"That's right. A good story is so rare." Xu Guwen and Xu Gujie nodded, "Take your time to think about it. Don't rush."

Faced with the sincere concern of the two people, Su Yun smiled mysteriously and said nothing more.

Alas, those who are thirsty will die of drought, and those who are flooded will die of flooding.

She has so many good stories that it’s hard to choose!
