"Yes...you are right...that's right."
Xiao Xiao wiped away her tears, quickly stood up and walked to the landline to make a call.
After a while, she finished her call and sat back down on the sofa.
"Ms. Yan, thank you very much for telling me such important news. Please stay here for dinner later!"
Xiao Xiao probably didn't have the heart to entertain her at this moment.
Yan Ning smiled and refused, "Fifth Madam, I have something to do later, so I won't stay for dinner.
When you find your sister, it won’t be too late to treat me to a meal to celebrate.”
Xiao Xiao said happily: "Then I'll borrow your good words."
Yan Ning said goodbye to Xiao Xiao, got in the car and left the Pei family manor.
When I returned to the Ning family at around 6:30, the servants were preparing dinner.
After the Ning family came back one after another, the family started to have dinner.
Ning Jiayan said, "Xiao Ning, Drunken Master will premiere on October 1st. Do you want to go to the cinema to watch it then?"
Yan Ning swallowed the food in his mouth and said, "I won't go. Just remember to let me know when the box office statistics are out after the movie is released in a month or two."
Ning Jiayan nodded and said, "Of course I have to tell you. After all, this is the first movie you've invested in."
As they were chatting, Ning Shaoyang suddenly said, "Something big happened in the mainland."
Yan Ning paused with his chopsticks, feeling a little confused.
Something big happened in the mainland?
What's the big deal?
It's 1976 now, and nothing happened in 1976...
No, something big did happen in 1976.
Mr. Ning asked, "What happened?"
Ning Shaoyang's face was a little sad, and he sighed, "According to the news from above, on September 9th, that person from the mainland..."
As he said this, he pointed his index finger toward the sky and said, "Let's go...Alas!"
Old Master Ning was in a trance for a moment, then he sighed heavily, "Alas!"
Yan Ning was a little surprised. She only remembered that it was this year, but she didn't know the specific day.
I didn’t expect it to be on September 9th.
Thinking about what would happen in the future, she couldn't help but sigh, "An era has ended."
At this moment, the people of the Ning family did not understand the meaning of Yan Ning's words.
Many years later, when they recalled this sentence, they truly understood its meaning.
Ning Shaoyang continued, "The mainland's Central People's Broadcasting and Television has already issued a "Letter to All Ethnic Groups in *********" to the whole country.
The TV stations in Hong Kong will also broadcast it in the next few days."
After chatting for a few minutes, they changed the boring topic.
Ning Jiayan talked to Yan Ning about the movie again.
"Director Wu Yusen, do you know me? Director Yuan introduced us to each other some time ago.
Director Wu is planning to shoot a movie recently and asked me if I am interested in investing.
Xiao Ning, do you think you can vote?"
"I'm done eating. Why don't we go to the living room and talk?" Yan Ning put down his chopsticks after finishing his meal and wiped his mouth with a napkin.
The two of them came to the living room and sat down on the sofa.
Yan Ning asked, "Brother, what movie was that you were talking about? Have the actors and everything been decided?"
Wu Yusen is a very famous director in Future Hong Kong City. He has shot many famous works.
Ning Jiayan thought for a moment, "The name of the movie seems to be something like Fa Qian Han, and the actors have been confirmed.
There's Ng Man-tat, Zhao Yazhi, and one of the Hui brothers, Hui Guanying."
Fa Qian Han, a movie released in 1977, did pretty well at the box office.
Of course, this is also due to the fact that no works by the three Xu brothers were released in 1977, which made this movie the box office champion.
There was also the 1979 film "Fighting Fists" starring Chen Long, which also took advantage of the gap between Xu's works to become the box office champion.
After all, the Xu brothers are unrivaled.
One of the three major film giants in Hong Kong today is the Hui Brothers, along with the Shaw Brothers and Ka Wah Film Company.
Yan Ning nodded. "This movie is fine. We can invest in it. How much do you plan to invest?"
Ning Jiayan: "Just invest 700,000 or 800,000."
"That's fine, this movie won't make you lose money anyway."
Yan Ning asked him again, "By the way, big brother, how is the promotion of Drunken Master going?"
Ning Jiayan: "The company is promoting according to the methods you mentioned, and the progress is pretty good.
As for the response, we will have to wait until the movie is released to know.”
Yan Ning nodded to indicate that he understood.
…
In the following period of time, Yan Ning took on several more orders from Lucia's friends.
In my free time every day I draw jewelry designs in my bedroom.
Occasionally I would send a batch of raw stones to the processing factory, and then go to the store to check on the situation.
Time quickly came to October.
On the evening of October 5th, Ning Jiayan returned home with a smile on his face, "Xiao Ning, I have good news for you. According to statistics from major cinemas,
The screening rate of Drunken Master is very high, and the attendance rate is also very high, almost every show is full.
The box office reached one million on the first day of its release. When the box office statistics were released in more than a month,
It will definitely surpass the film released by the Xu Brothers this year."
Yan Ning smiled, but didn't feel that shocked.
She remembered the Drunken Master that was released in 1978 in another time and space, and its national box office totaled 23 million yuan.
In this time and space, due to Yan Ning's promotion, the release time was advanced to 1976, and the box office is estimated to reach about 10 million.
November 17th.
Ning Jiayan called Yan Ning to tell her that the box office statistics for Drunken Master were out and asked her to go to the company.
