Xuzhou, at night, Li Qing took his parents to the cinema.
Cinemas in small cities are not as popular as those in big cities. At least when Li Qing came to buy tickets in advance at noon, he could still buy "Westward Journey" which showed at 7 p.m.
"The last time you went to Yun Province was to shoot this movie, right?" Meng Xiuzhi asked.
"Yes." Li Qing nodded: "This film took three months to shoot, almost all the time in the desert. It was very hard for everyone."
Meng Xiuzhi said distressedly: "Then I have to appreciate my son's works."
Li Sangyong laughed and said: "An actor should be like this. Qing'er is still young, and there will be many days for him to practice in the future!"
Li Qing smiled.
After arriving at the cinema, audiences bought tickets one after another.
Li Qing took out three movie tickets and handed them to the ticket inspector, and then the family of three walked into the designated screening room.
After checking the tickets, the ticket inspector was a little belatedly aware of the situation.
She always felt that the family she just passed looked familiar, but the young man was wearing a mask and a peaked cap, and the lighting in the corridor was dim, so she couldn't see his face clearly.
After thinking about it carefully, I thought of Li Qing.
After all, Li Qing is a well-known figure in Xuzhou, so it is easier for people to associate him with him.
But immediately, the ticket inspector laughed at himself, how could a big boss and star with assets worth hundreds of millions return to Xuzhou to watch a movie?
So I gave up.
After Li Qing's family entered the cinema, they sat down according to the seats designated on the movie tickets.
There are still three minutes before the movie starts, the lights in the screening room have already dimmed, and the commercial for "Westward Journey" is playing on the big screen.
Li Qing looked around and saw that the entire screening hall was not big, with about one or two hundred seats, but it was all full at this time.
"It's very good. There are a lot of people watching."
Li Xiangyong said happily: "It should be able to attract investment."
"It's good to have more people. It means our son is good at making this movie!" Meng Xiuzhi said with a smile.
Li Qing made a shushing gesture, then sat down between his parents, looking up at the big screen.
The movie started.
There was originally a buzz of discussion in the screening hall, but the moment the movie started, everything fell silent.
Only the original sound of the movie came from the speakers in the screening room.
The whole movie watching process was very enjoyable and the experience was great.
Many plots in the movie made the audience laugh loudly, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious.
"The night is long and I have no intention of sleeping. I thought I was the only one who couldn't sleep, but it turns out that you, Miss Jingjing, can't sleep either."
…
"You said Jingjing's name 98 times last night."
"Oh, Jingjing is my wife."
"There is another one named Zixia that you recited 784 times."
"..."
"This Zixia must owe you a lot of money."
…
But occasionally there is collective silence, and as time goes by, this phenomenon becomes more and more frequent.
By the end, the laughter heard earlier had gradually disappeared, and everyone fell silent.
After the movie ends, background music plays.
"The sea of suffering stirs up love and hate
In this world, it is difficult to escape fate..."
The lights turned on and people walked out of the screening room with red and swollen eyes.
"It was a movie that made me laugh and cry!"
"I thought the Internet was all a lie, but I didn't expect this movie to be so good!"
"Fairy Zixia is so beautiful. Does anyone know where I can buy movie posters?"
"Is this Li Qing's first movie? I didn't expect it to be so good! I will definitely follow his movies in the future!"
After Li Qing's family heard the unscrupulous discussion of the students next to them, they immediately showed knowing smiles.
Not long after walking, on the road, a middle-aged man who looked like a teacher stopped, turned around and asked a young man behind him: "Did you understand the movie?"
The young man hesitated and said, "I understand a little bit."
The middle-aged man sighed: "This life is a curse, society is the Bull Demon King, parents are Tang Seng, Zixia is the dream, but why do you live like a dog?"
The young man is silent.
Li Qing looked over curiously, and then heard his father explain in a low voice beside him: "The older one is the director of our Xuzhou Education Bureau, and the younger one is his son. His son dropped out of college, got married, and later
Leaving..."
"What is his son doing now?" Li Qing asked.
Li Xiangyong said: "I opened an Internet cafe."
As soon as he finished speaking, a voice came from beside him: "Hey, isn't this Director Li?"
Li Qing turned around and saw a bald middle-aged man walking over with a smile and shaking hands with Li Xiangyong: "I didn't expect you to come to watch the movie too!"
"Hey, Director Zhang, hello, hello." Li Xiangyong smiled and shook hands with the other party.
After Director Zhang chatted with Li Xiangyong for a while, he looked at the young man wearing a cap and mask from time to time, and suddenly asked in a mysterious and low voice: "Is this Li Qing?"
"Hello Uncle Zhang."
Seeing that Li Qing had been seen through, he didn't hide it anymore and took the initiative to reach out.
"Okay, okay!"
Director Zhang said with a cheerful smile: "Okay, you guys talk about your business. This is the Chinese New Year, so I won't disturb your family reunion. Director Li, come and sit at my place when you have time. I have good wine."
Li Xiangyong smiled and said: "Okay, I will remember it."
After Director Zhang left, Li Xiangyong turned around and said, "This is the director of our Municipal Finance Bureau."
Li Qing smiled and said: "Dad, you know a lot of people now!"
Meng Xiuzhi said from the side: "Your father is now the director of the Electric Power Bureau. This is a high level. Everyone he knows is either the director or the director. He keeps talking to me all day long, like a child. Son, this is all your fault.
If it weren’t for you, these bureau chiefs and directors wouldn’t be able to look at your father.”
Li Xiangyong was anxious: "Can you pay attention to your words in front of your son? Why can't you look at me? I think back then..."
Meng Xiuzhi wanted to say something else, but was stopped by Li Qing: "Mom, my dad's promotion is entirely because he has this ability and is fully qualified for this position. He will always reach this point with or without me.
"
"You're right."
Li Xiangyong snorted: "I completely agree with your statement."
Meng Xiuzhi sighed, waved her hand and said: "Okay, my son will go back to the capital tomorrow, and I will cook something delicious for you two tonight. By the way, next time you come back, remember to take that girl Han Han home, you know
Is it done?"
"Okay." Li Qing agreed readily.
The next day, after Li Qing returned to the capital, he checked the battle reports of the major theaters, and immediately began to personally contact the eight major theaters to arrange the film.
The major theater chains obviously did not expect that "Westward Journey" would be so powerful.
They also want to make money, and they can't turn a blind eye to a movie like this that is blowing up the box office.
Therefore, the film schedule for "Westward Journey" was increased early the next morning——
