According to legend in Shu, this is the name of a restaurant chain owned by Renquan Catering Company, and the name was chosen by Li Congcheng.
These two Northeasterners chose the name of their store after "Sichuan" in Sichuan. When Chu Xuan asked them why, Li Chongqing laughed and said they chose it randomly.
A random name has been cited by Ren Quan since he started his business in Shenghai in the millennium. It shows how good the relationship between these two people is. The most important thing is that they are not husband and wife, but just friends, which is even more valuable.
.
Renquan currently has six stores in Beijing, two on each of the third, fourth and fifth rings. The store on the third ring road is the main store in Beijing. It was opened more than two years ago when the couple was going through the "Korean Wave Gate" public opinion incident.
Yes, the couple came to celebrate when the new store opened.
The couple has been here a few times since it opened more than two years ago. Although the number is not many, the terrain and location are very familiar to them.
Chu Xuan bypassed the street at the main entrance of the restaurant, drove into the alley next to it, opened the door with Ren Quan, and turned into the parking lot in the backyard of the restaurant. This path can be regarded as a special channel for celebrity friends.
After everyone got out of the car, Ren Quan closed the door and walked towards them: "You rare visitor, why do you want to come to my place?"
Chu Xuan took a few steps forward and said hello to Ren Quan, saying, "I'm looking for you to have a cup of tea. Are you welcome?"
"Brother Quan." Liu Yifei, Su Chang and Jiang Xin shouted.
"Welcome, welcome." Ren Quan welcomed and led the way: "Come up and play, Brother Jun, Sister Jialin and the others are playing mahjong."
"Brother Jun and Sister Jialin are here too?" Chu Xuan thought of the four people playing mahjong, so he asked the other two: "Who else is there?"
"Xia Yu, Yuan Quan, and Tong Dawei." Ren Quan said.
Liu Yifei became interested: "Wow, what's going on today? Why are you all here? Brother Quan, why are you here?"
"You're kidding, this is our stronghold." Su Chang said.
When people enter the store, they don't have to go through the front hall and go directly upstairs.
Hearing what Su Chang said, Liu Yifei turned to look at her: "Your stronghold? Do you come here often?"
Su Chang hadn't spoken yet, and he only heard Ren Quan, who was the first to go upstairs, say: "They are so diligent when they come here. They come here every now and then to eat and drink for free."
"We paid too." Jiang Xin muttered, walking at the end.
"Are there any credit accounts worth tens of thousands?" Ren Quan picked their bottom line.
The couple immediately felt strange. It seemed that Su Chang and Jiang Xin were very familiar with Ren Quan. It was quite funny to pay for a meal on credit.
"We agreed to pay annually, but I don't have that much money at the moment." Su Chang said pitifully.
Saying you have no money is just nonsense. It's obviously just fun. Ren Quan didn't care about her and just said: "Bank loans are monthly payments. You give me annual payments because you think my bankruptcy progress is not fast enough?"
The couple couldn't help laughing. Although they were talking about each other's topics, it sounded quite interesting.
Jiang Xin clarified the couple's doubts: "Changchang and I didn't film this year. We spent most of our time in the capital dealing with my house. When we were bored, we would go to Brother Quan's place. This time we owed tens of thousands of yuan.
money."
She and Su Chang had no drama arrangements this year. Because she was buying a new house in the capital, Su Chang acted as a military advisor and stayed with her in the capital.
Ren Quan happened to have a store in the capital, and within the group, whether it was the eldest brothers and sisters like Hu Jun, Liu Jialin, or some of the company's senior executives and teachers, they often came to Ren Quan's store to take care of the business. They who stayed in the capital joined in and went back and forth.
I took this store as my base.
Hearing this, Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei also understood.
"The food in my shop is not expensive. I have a credit of 50,000 to 60,000 yuan. How many meals did the two of them eat from me?" Ren Quan stepped onto the steps of the third floor.
Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei cast joking glances at Su Chang and Jiang Xin. The two posed indifferently, knowing that Ren Quan was joking.
Passing by a private room, the sound of mahjong was heard. Chu Xuan stopped and said, "Are they in here?"
"Yes." Ren Quan nodded.
Seeing the joking expression on Chu Xuan's face, everyone knew that Chu Xuan was up to something strange, and they all looked like they were watching a good show.
Chu Xuan put his hand on the door handle, brewing his emotions for a while, then quickly opened the door, took a step inside, and said: "Police! Check the ward!"
Hu Jun, whose back was turned, swayed his shoulders and suddenly stopped, obviously stunned.
Tong Dawei's hand touching the mahjong on the right also stopped in mid-air, with a confused look on his face.
Liu Jialin on the left quickly rolled up the money on the stage and hid it in her skirt.
Only Xia Yu, who was directly opposite, and Yuan Quan, who was sitting next to him and watching the battle, immediately noticed that it was Chu Xuan and burst out laughing.
Hu Jun, Liu Jialin and Tong Dawei reacted and all turned to look at Chu Xuan at the door.
"Hahaha..." People inside and outside the room burst into laughter instantly.
Chu Xuan looked at Liu Jialin and joked: "Sister Jialin, what are you doing? Are you being checked too many times?"
"You brother Xuan, I'm going to beat you to death today!" Liu Jialin couldn't laugh or cry. She took out the money hidden in her skirt and put it on the table. She got up and chased Chu Xuan away.
In the extremely joyful atmosphere of the audience, Liu Jialin grabbed Chu Xuan and slapped him.
Liu Yifei had no intention of helping and was already amused by her husband's behavior.
"Scaring sister, aren't you?"
"No no."
"is it wrong?"
"Wrong, wrong."
Liu Jialin pinched Chu Xuan one last time and said, "You really shocked me!"
Chu Xuan looked cheerful: "I didn't expect you to react so much. They are all still confused. You are the only one hiding money."
There was another burst of laughter from the crowd, and Chu Xuan was having a lot of fun.
"What are you doing here? Are you crazy?" Xia Yu was rude to Chu Xuan. He was too familiar with him, so there was no need to be polite.
Chu Xuan walked into the room and grabbed a handful of melon seeds on the table: "I can't come? You opened this shop? Sister Quan didn't even say anything, how can you say anything?"
He looked at Yuan Quan: "Right, Sister Quan?"
Yuan Quan gave a thumbs up: "Exactly right."
"Oh, that's so funny." Hu Jun's reflex arc was a little slow, and he finally came back to his senses: "Is the movie being screened today?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Will it be screened today?" Xia Yu, Tong Dawei and Yuan Quan still don't know.
"Screening today." Chu Xuan nodded.
Liu Jialin calmed down, sat back and asked: "How is the situation? Is there any news?"
Chu Xuan said: "It's not bad. I went to the cinema twice this morning and the tickets are sold until tomorrow. The peripheral sales are also okay."
"That's good." Liu Jialin praised.
"That's good." Hu Jun also said.
Xia Yu looked at Chu Xuan: "The premiere is on the 25th, right? We all came here to cheer you on. Are we loyal enough?"
The couple's movie will premiere on the 25th. Sister Hua informed them a few days ago that she would return to the capital to support it if she had time.
Those who really had something to do and couldn't make it back didn't come. Those of them who had free time were either in the capital or rushed back early, so they just gathered together to play a game today.
"Awesome." Chu Xuan praised.
"Since we're here, it's a good time to have a meal and get together in the afternoon," Hu Jun said.
"Okay, but first we agreed not to drink. The screening is not over yet. If anything happens, we need to deal with it in time." Chu Xuan said.
When she heard that she didn't want to drink, Liu Yifei gave Chu Xuan a look of approval.
"Okay, let's drink on the day of the premiere." Hu Junming was reasonable and more or less knew that Chu Xuan was making excuses, but he didn't point it out or persuade him to drink.
When Liu Yifei heard that she was drinking again at the premiere, she sighed in her heart. She really couldn't avoid the day of the premiere. If she drank once, she would have to lose weight for a few more days.
"Then you play cards, and we'll have tea with Brother Quan." Chu Xuan said and exited the room.
"Sister Li Cong." Everyone greeted.
Li Zhengtong was waiting in the tea room. Hearing the noise outside, he went out to watch an interesting scene. Seeing that Chu Xuan and the others had finished their exchange, he and Ren Quan led a group of people into the tea room.
The tea room is thirty-four square meters, with landscape paintings as wall decorations, a screen as a curtain, and a tea table with a pot of sandalwood and green smoke curling up, all in an antique style.
Seeing the way Li Congchen made tea, Liu Yifei praised: "This is professionalism."
Li Zhengtong said kindly: "What kind of profession is this? If you practice it a lot, anyone can do it."
She poured everyone a cup of tea and said to Liu Yifei: "During the public outcry some time ago, we all had the idea of helping you stand up, but we were stopped by Sister Hua. Later we found out that your nationality had been transferred back, and we tried to counterattack.
, good job, relieve your anger."
Liu Yifei took a sip of tea from the cup and said gently: "It's all over. There's no need to mention the past."
Li Zhengtong said this specifically, just to show that they all wanted to help and not to let her misunderstand anything.
She and Chu Xuan had already learned about the situation from Sister Hua. This was something they knew in advance and was not worth mentioning.
"Things have passed, and it's boring to talk about them again." Ren Quan played an old-fashioned way and changed the topic: "Is it pre-sale after the screening, or pre-sale after the premiere?"
"It's not clear at the moment." Chu Xuan put down his teacup and said, "The screening will end tomorrow on the 22nd, and there are still seven days until the November 23rd release. If the screening goes well, seven-day pre-sales may start the day after tomorrow. It depends on the majors.
As a result of the theater chain’s negotiation, China Film Group is helping to control this aspect.”
Ren Quan nodded: "Looking at the current momentum, it is very likely to become a hit of the year."
"I hope so." Chu Xuan said: "Whether it is a hit or not depends on luck. In addition to the quality of the content, the right time, place and people are indispensable."
The content of the movie is of good quality, but it only has the foundation to have a good box office.
As for box office explosions and record-breaking numbers, that depends on luck.
Some movies are of good quality, but if they are released at the wrong time and are not favored by the market, the box office will collapse.
Some movies are of average quality, but if they are released at the right time and the audience who likes to watch them gather together to watch the movie during this period, the box office will be a huge hit for no reason.
The audience's thoughts are often invisible, so we talk about the right time, right place, right people, and wonderful luck.
"Indeed." Ren Quan agreed with Chu Xuan's statement.
"Hey." Li Zhengzheng thought of something and asked Chu Xuan: "I want to go to the movies, but there are no online tickets for sale. Don't you offer online ticket sales for screenings?"
"I don't know about that." Chu Xuan shook his head: "It was arranged by the theater alliance."
Ren Quan said: "Online ticket sales are currently very chaotic. With the rapid development of the Internet, various platforms have emerged one after another. In the past, there was only Pacific Ticketing Network and China Movie Star US Network. Now it can be said that there is a chaos of chaos. As long as you can bank online,
Most of the payment platforms can buy movie tickets.”
"Yes." Su Chang nodded: "I use Meituan to buy things, and now there is also a function to buy tickets through Maoyan Group."
"Alipay is also available." Jiang Xin said: "There is also an entrance to buy movie tickets on Alipay."
"QQ also has it." Liu Yifei said: "There is also an entrance to buy movie tickets in the Tenpay interface."
"There are many places where you can buy it," Li Congcheng said.
Chu Xuan chewed melon seeds and said: "But do you know that the entrances to these platforms for buying movie tickets are linked to major ticketing websites. Only companies with theater qualifications, or companies with theater licenses, can go online.
Start a ticket sales business.”
"Is that so?" Li Congcheng asked.
Chu Xuan nodded and said: "The ticketing websites of major theater chains still sell tickets. Platforms such as Alipay and Tenpay only introduce channels as third-party agents."
"I see." Ren Quan understood and asked, "Then our Bright Times Cinema Chain...oh no, it's not possible yet, our theater chain company doesn't have a license yet."
"Not yet, but it's coming soon." Chu Xuan said: "There's nothing to talk about in terms of service. Needless to say the number and scale of theaters. The box office standard of 400 million is coming soon. Let's not talk about our movie, let's talk about the ""
"Avatar," "Transformers," and "2012" are all Hollywood blockbusters. It is very likely that our theater company will reach the accumulated box office standard of 400 million and then apply for a license."
"Our box office market also depends on overseas blockbusters." Li Zhengtong shook his head: "This is a bit ironic, but there is nothing we can do about it. Hollywood blockbusters have high box office. It seems to have become a law."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "But we don't have "At the Gate" anymore. I believe it can break the domestic box office myth of Hollywood blockbusters." Jiang Xin encouraged.
Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei smiled slightly and gave her a thumbs up with their eyes.
"I have an idea." Ren Quan said: "Since you estimate that theater companies will be able to apply for a license next year, they will be able to sell tickets online after applying for the license, which means they can set up a ticketing website with telecommunications value-added services."
"Then have you and Sister Hua ever thought about making this ticketing website bigger and stronger, making it the leading domestic one, and adding a comment module to generate considerable traffic? Then maybe this ticketing website will become a bellwether for domestic movies.
."
"I agree!" Su Chang raised his hand and agreed with this idea: "What's the best thing? Only viewers who have bought tickets can comment to prevent trolls from participating. It is very annoying to see comments from people who have never watched the movie online.
It affects my judgment every time I want to go to the movies."
Liu Yifei patted Chu Xuan gently, with some interest in her eyes: "This is a good idea."
Chu Xuan picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea, and said: "Only audiences who have purchased tickets can comment? This requires the support of major theaters. Only if they open up the data of audience purchases to us, can we know which audiences or
Tell which users bought tickets."
"Hey, there is a long way to go." Liu Yifei smoothed her hair.
"Take your time, it involves too many aspects, so we can only take it one step at a time," Ren Quan said.
The couple nodded. This kind of future planning can only be done slowly.
Drinking afternoon tea and chatting with friends is quite enjoyable.
When the card game in the private room next to them ended, someone knocked on the door and asked for dinner. The couple and their friends went to the private room of the restaurant with Hu Jun and others.
Chatting, laughing, and unexpectedly meeting the big brothers and sisters in their family circle also made the couple very happy.
When the dishes are served, fill up the wine.
Everyone raised their glasses and paid tacit respect to Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei for the first glass: "The screening of the movie went well, and the premiere went well too!"
Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei drank milk and expressed their gratitude: "Thank you everyone!"
