Two days later, the polar bear train arrived in Hamburg, Germany.
This time Sun Peng did not keep a low profile, but made a public appearance and went to a German cinema to watch "The Terminator". Since German reporters got the news and were chasing after interviews, why should they help Wei Xiaolin?
Speaking of which, "Terminator" has been released in China for a week.
During this time on the train, Sun Peng wanted to enjoy the tranquility, but Liu Chang paid attention to the progress of the box office every day, and then truthfully relayed to him that the song had 180 million in the weekend and more than 300 million in the first week.
Compared with Sun Peng's other films in the past two years, the box office performance is undoubtedly bleak, but considering its investment and box office return ratio, it can be said to be a success!
So for those who commented that Lao Bai's script was in trouble, Sun Peng just laughed after hearing it.
What is success? What is Waterloo?
"The Matrix" and "Taken" each achieved a domestic box office of RMB 3 to 4 billion, which is a success. "The Lion King" almost broke the global box office of "Frozen", which is certainly a success, but "Terminator" has always been just one of them.
Low... no, according to the current investment level, it is a mid- to low-cost production at best. Isn't it bad to get a box office of 300 million in the first week?
So these people's definition of success is a little too high, right?
What makes Sun Peng even more happy is that Wei Xiaolin and Gao Runqing did not just focus on the country, but successfully promoted "Terminator" to more than a dozen countries by participating in film festivals, film trades and other activities!
Although most of them were buyouts, they eventually walked out, right?
At least in Germany, the news Sun Peng heard was that the box office had reached 2.7 million euros. For a purely Chinese film, and for which the production company, director, and actors are unknown, this report card has really already
It can be considered luxurious!
Sure enough, as long as the plot is good enough, the box office won't be that bad without special effects.
After two days of happily staying in Hamburg, Sun Peng got on the plane back to China, and was surrounded by a group of reporters at the airport...
"Teacher Lao Bai, what did you discuss when you met the former ambassador of the Soviet Union?"
"I'm sorry, please... Teacher Lao Bai, is your new book a novel about the Soviet Union? Will it involve politics?"
"Who is that girl you met in Moscow? Can you please answer her?"
"Teacher Lao Bai..."
…
"I'll go, what's going on?!"
After finally getting into the car under the protection of bodyguards and airport security, Sun Peng wiped the sweat from his head and said in a deep voice with an unhappy expression: "I just met Andrei Utkin, how can I go back to China?"
So many people are just speculating out of thin air? And the new book touches on the political field... Why don't they say that I want to collaborate with the enemy and betray the country?"
Shrugging, Liu Chang chuckled and said: "Actually, it seems normal to me. Who makes you a big celebrity? Even if it's nothing, these reporters will find something for you, not to mention what you are doing.
I took a trip on the Western Express while writing my new book, and even had a pleasant conversation with the former Soviet ambassador... Gee, if you ask me, it would be a shame for the National Security Bureau not to talk to you!"
"Buzz..."
As soon as Liu Chang finished speaking, her phone vibrated.
He picked it up and saw that it was Sun Ya's number. After a moment of connecting, Liu Chang's expression gradually became weird. He frequently looked at Sun Peng with a strange look, as if he suddenly had a flower growing on his face.
Like a flower!
"Uh...what do you mean you always look at me?"
"I know Xiaoya, let's go home later... back to Xiaopeng and his father-in-law's house, and then just ask them to go directly there!"
After hanging up the phone, Liu Chang continued to look at Sun Peng with that weird look.
"Hey, you're talking!"
The assistant's look made Sun Peng slightly agitated. He couldn't help but roll his eyes and said: "What's going on? And you just said that someone would go to my father-in-law's house to find us...who are you? I just returned to China, what kind of big shot is that?"
Is it so urgent to meet? And even if it is necessary to meet, you should go to my own home, right?"
"Pfft!"
As Liu Chang couldn't help but laugh out loud, she patted her mouth gently and said happily: "Look at my mouth. It's really good but not bad. People really come to visit me."
When the two people from the National Security Bureau came to Sun Peng's house, they were both very polite and not at all domineering as in the legend. The woman in her thirties looked excited, her eyes shining as if she had met her idol.
.
"Ahem, hello, hello!"
Looking at the man and woman in front of him, Sun Peng coughed twice in embarrassment and quickly asked them to sit down.
At this moment, the father-in-law Zheng Tianliang also strolled out of the back room, looked at the two people and frowned and said: "Xiaopeng, are these two from the National Security Bureau?"
"Yes, hello Director Zheng!"
After seeing Zheng Tianliang, a man about forty years old quickly stood up from the sofa where he had just sat, nodded respectfully and said: "Sorry to disturb you, we just came to ask Mr. Lao Bai a few questions, no.
It will take too long!”
Since you are coming to the home of a big shot like Lao Bai, the National Security Bureau must have done enough preparations, and you will naturally be familiar with Zheng Tianliang's identity.
Perhaps because of the respectful attitude of the other party, Lao Zheng quickly waved his hand and said: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, you can just ask... Haha, in fact, my son-in-law usually concentrates on writing books, scripts, etc., and is interested in politics.
I'm never interested in anything... It doesn't matter, sit down, you ask, you ask..."
"..."
The two people who came to the house exchanged glances. The middle-aged man smiled and nodded: "Actually, it's not a big deal. No one thinks what will happen to Teacher Lao Bai, right? It's just because of Teacher Lao Bai and Andre.
?Mr. Utkin’s matter has caused quite a stir, so we’re here to just come and ask around and find out what’s going on!”
"snort!"
Hearing what the other party said, Lao Zheng immediately glared at Sun Peng!
You brat, why are you talking to a retired diplomat when you have nothing to do? I wonder if a guy like Andrei Utkin, who has worked in the Chinese embassy for so many years, must also be responsible for intelligence...
Is this the job of a spy? It’s too late to avoid it even if you know a little bit, and there are still people leaning on it?
but……
Seeing Sun Peng's confused look, Lao Zheng thought for a moment and could only shake his head slightly.
Doesn’t his son-in-law know nothing?
So he turned around and wanted to go back to the house, but after thinking about it carefully, Lao Zheng was afraid that Sun Peng would say random things, so he shamelessly sat down next to his son-in-law and asked with a smile: "I'm sorry, you two."
Ah! You can ask whatever you want, and it doesn’t matter if I sit next to you and listen, right? Ahem, you ask, you ask..." (To be continued)
