Chapter 173 Zhang Hong's ambition (4400 words)(1/3)
Wang Zhi sat paralyzed in the chair, just like "Ge You paralyzed" in a suit.
He is in a strange mood now.
Let's talk about jealousy, I'm really jealous.
But even if it's extremely painful, it's okay.
It’s even a bit of an inexplicable little relief!
He himself felt that his mentality was strange.
But he definitely can't give up until the last moment!
In the new era of the sea, he still wants his own ticket!
Having made up his mind, he raised his head and said decisively: "Immediately contact the distributor and ask if the cinema can increase the proportion of film schedules. And urge them to continue to increase marketing efforts."
The assistant nodded to indicate that he had taken note of it, and then asked: "Director Wang, do you want to tell Director Zhang Hong..."
He wanted to speak but stopped.
Wang Zhi understood what he meant.
Should we find the financial backers and intensify our efforts to smear Zhang Hong?
"Okay." Wang Zhi nodded in agreement.
But he added, "Remember, only criticize the movie itself, not their people."
Finding fault with each other's movies is a normal means of competition.
At any rate, we are still playing within the rules of the game.
But skipping this part to discredit the other party is a dirty move.
Wang Zhi didn't bother to do it.
The assistant nodded to express understanding.
"Okay, you go and have a rest first. We'll deal with these things tomorrow."
After the assistant left, Wang Zhi leaned back on his chair and stared at the ceiling in trance.
After a while, he stood up.
For a moment, he felt a golden light appear before his eyes.
Fortunately, it only took a second or two to return to normal.
"It seems that I am really old. I feel dizzy after sitting for a long time."
I moved my shoulders and neck and made a popping sound.
When he felt more alive, he took out his mobile phone, opened the ticket purchase APP, and fixed his eyes on the "Idol Legend".
I bought a nightclub ticket in the early morning.
Wang Zhi closed his phone, put on a sweatshirt and running shoes, and left the office.
"Take a walk and see it again..."
............
"The box office is out!"
Beijing, Lin family villa.
As soon as he got the box office data, Lin Chuan ran to the living room to report to his sister.
There is no way, this is the request of the "devil", if he fails to do it, he may die miserably.
No, he will definitely die miserably.
Today, the four members of the Lin family went to my grandfather's house to celebrate the New Year. After dinner, my parents were dragged by their grandparents to play mahjong, and the brother and sister went home early.
To be precise, Lin Muqing came home and Lin Chuan was assigned by her to get the first day's box office data.
Just got it back now.
Miss Lin, who was sitting on the sofa in the living room with her legs crossed, took a sip of tea and then took the document leisurely.
["Weary of Victory", first-day box office: 29.9644 million (including premiere box office 8.1451 million), Spring Festival box office ranking: 4
"Idol Legend", first-day box office: 60.0577 million (including premiere box office 22.4413 million), Spring Festival box office ranking: 1]
Her eyes became brighter and brighter.
Then she seemed to remember something and looked at Wang Zhi's data again.
["Qingcheng Bodyguard", first-day box office: 33.7137 million (including premiere box office 2.1755 million), Spring Festival box office ranking: 3]
She felt relieved.
Then she thought of something else, the corners of her mouth raised slightly, and her green fingers touched the words "Director Zhang Hong" in front of "Idol Legend" on the document.
The finger paused on "Zhang Hong".
"Does this make you more confident? If you can be brave..."
Lin Chuan, who was pouring water next to him, heard his sister muttering to himself and asked in confusion: "What?"
"It's nothing, just go and do whatever you need to do."
Lin Muqing flipped up her hair and stopped talking to Lin Chuan.
"Is that wrong? I was so busy that I didn't even say thank you? Am I just a tool..."
Seeing his sister pick up the phone, Lin Chuan decisively stopped talking.
He suddenly smiled, "I understand!"
After understanding, he planned to go back to the house. When he opened the door of his bedroom, he turned around and blinked, "Come on, I'm keeping an eye on you~"
Lin Muqing: "..."
After sighing slightly, Lin Muqing adjusted his mentality and dialed Zhang Hong's number.
Soon, the call was connected there.
"Hello......"
Hearing the man's voice, Miss Lin subconsciously raised her lips, "What's wrong? I feel weak on the first day of the new year."
"You don't know what I've been through... I lost in mahjong, one person lost to three..."
Miss Lin is in a better mood.
She played with the ends of her hair and asked, "Oh? How much did you lose?"
"Forty-five yuan..."
The eldest lady almost laughed out loud, "That's really a lot..."
How small are they playing?
A dime or two cents?
"Nonsense! It's just gambling! It's just fun with the elders, but I didn't expect them to be so ruthless..."
"Pfft..."
"Why are you laughing?" Zhang Hong hurriedly explained, "I'm just depressed after losing continuously all afternoon! I really don't care about the dozens of dollars!"
I really don't care!
"Ha..." Miss Lin didn't want to continue this topic, otherwise, according to her understanding, Zhang Hongba would be very angry.
She glanced at the document in her hand and said, "The first day's box office is out."
There was suddenly silence on the other side of the phone.
Then Lin Muqing only heard the sounds of "hidden bars", "firecrackers" and the like, as well as the sound of playing mahjong.
After a while, Zhang Hong's increasingly tired voice came, "Oh...how is the box office situation..."
Obviously, someone is messing up again.
The person who loses money is definitely Zhang Hong.
So Lin Muqing planned to tell him some good news.
""Weary of Victory" 29.96 million."
"Ah?" A panicked voice came from the other side, "Wait a moment!"
Then the mechanical female voice of "Return to zero, return to zero, return to zero" came from the receiver into Lin Muqing's ears.
"If it's 29.96 million... 45% is 13.63 million! Damn it? You're going to get your money back soon?!"
The two movies combined are 45 million!
Among them, "Yuan Sheng" has 40 million, and "Idol Legend" has 5 million!
And in fact, Zhang Hong himself contributed 40 million, and the 5 million for the filming of "Idol Legend" was given by Wu Dingguo as the "Young Director Support and Filming Fund"!
To be continued...
