Chapter 656: Lunar New Year, No. 1 at the box office
The study was filled with smoke. Fang Jing put out the cigarette butt and waved his hand in front of his eyes to disperse some of the smoke.
"Don't worry, if you say it can be used, it can be used. It's just an assistant director, and you don't have to be on camera."
"Can't you, kid, just speak properly and rub salt into my wounds?"
There was a sarcastic expression on Chen Haibo's lips. Although these words were a bit hurtful, it was already good for him to get to this point. At least he had taken the first step. Not many crews dared to use him before.
From the front of the stage to behind the scenes, maybe this is his best destination.
Fang Jing said with a smile, "I also want you to take on the big role, but it's a bit unrealistic. Let's do it step by step, starting from behind the scenes, and then slowly move forward, get a supporting role to test the waters, and see who's on top
reaction."
After being excited for a few seconds, Chen Haibo smiled bitterly and said, "Forget it, stop working so hard. I haven't acted in these years, and there's no point in acting now. I'm very good behind the scenes. I can help you choose actors and tell the story to newcomers."
"No, you are the Emperor Shi. It's a pity that it ends like this. Just try your best. If you don't succeed, you won't regret it in the future."
Half an hour later, Fang Jing and Chen Haibo came out of the study, and Qu Shanshan asked, "What have you two been talking about for so long?"
"It's okay, it's just a matter of routine, right Fang Jing?"
"Yes, yes, yes." Fang Jing nodded cooperatively, "What about that, I have something else to do, so I'm leaving now. See you later."
"I'll give it to you."
"Stay, let's go."
As soon as Fang Jing left, Gao Yuanyuan also asked to leave, but instead of following him, she fell far behind and looked at his back thoughtfully.
Back at the hotel, Fang Jing had someone buy some Nezha movie tickets and leave them for Fang Hui, while he continued to visit people like Wu Gang and Pu Cunxin.
The last one to arrive was Yang Lixin’s house.
When they met, the old man didn't give Fang Jing a good look, and said with a straight face: "Sure enough, you kid ranked me last."
"How is it possible? As soon as I go out..."
The group chat was placed in front of Fang Jing, and Yang Lixin said: "Pretend, keep pretending."
In the group, people like Wu Gang and Pu Cunxin showed off the New Year's gifts given by Fang Jing, and even bet that Yang Lixin was the last one to send them.
Fang Jing was speechless. How old are these old guys to still play this trick? "Haha, Uncle Yang, it's just because we have a good relationship that I left you in last place."
"You don't know, I didn't even sit at their house for long before leaving. I said "Congratulations on getting rich", but all I was thinking about was what the next house would give me. When I came to your house, I didn't have these worries at all. I could sit there as long as I wanted.
ah."
"You see, I have brought a box of Maotai. Let's have a good drink today."
"Stop it, stop talking nice. I haven't drank for a long time. Drinking too much of this stuff is not good for your health. You should drink less."
"Don't bring it next time. Why do you think it's a waste? If your aunt sees it, you'll have to blame me."
Saying no, Yang Lixin carried the box of Maotai and went to the study. Fang Jing glanced over and saw him dismantling and hiding it in a large suitcase.
When he came out, he held a bottle in his hand and said with a smile: "It's just the Chinese New Year. I have to entertain guests when they come, so I'll reluctantly have a few sips with you."
After putting the wine on the table, Yang Lixin went to the kitchen again and came out a few minutes later with some stir-fried vegetables.
"Uncle Yang, I drove here, so you can't drink..."
"Huh?" Yang Lixin glared. I've poured my pants and wine. You're telling me this? "Okay, but if you have anything to do, don't come to me."
"Okay, okay, I'll drink." Fang Jing said helplessly, "I'll do it, you can do whatever you want."
After pouring a full cup, Fang Jing drank it all in one gulp. He drank three or four cups in less than a minute. Seeing him waste so much, drinking Maotai like fresh orange, Yang Lixin felt heartbroken.
"Stop, stop, stop, you'd better stop drinking. This wine is like a cow chewing peonies to you. If you have something to say, get out of here."
"Hehehe, Uncle Yang still understands me." Fang Jing took out a thick stack of scripts from his shoulder bag, "Didn't we agree to film the movie last time? The movie is here."
"Okay, I understand, you can tell me in advance when you will turn it on."
"Uncle Yang, don't you read the script?"
"Is there anything good to watch? Didn't I promise you before? Besides, I still believe in your Nanjing drama."
"Click!" Just when Fang Jing was moved, the door opened, and a woman in her fifties opened the door and came in with a bunch of gifts in her hand.
Their six eyes faced each other, and there was silence for a moment.
"Fang Jing, I told you not to drink! Why are you still opening the wine? Take it, take it away, and don't come into my house next time with wine."
Yang Lixin took the lead, and Fang Jing was stunned for a moment by his words.
I opened this wine?
It seems like I said I wouldn’t drink, but you forced me to drink, right?
Seeing Yang Lixin winking crazily, Fang Jing understood and said with exaggerated acting skills: "Oh, blame me, blame me, Uncle Yang, I'm sorry, I won't bring it next time."
"Aunt Li, Uncle Yang didn't drink. I drank all this. Really, he didn't drink a drop."
Yang Lixin's wife smiled and said, "It's okay. It's normal to have a few drinks during the Chinese New Year. Lao Yang, Fang Jing is here, you can have a few more drinks with me."
"No, I quit drinking when I said I would. How can I not keep my word?"
Fang Jing saw Yang Lixin's hands trembling and was a little funny for a moment. He didn't realize that Lao Yang was still a strict wife.
After glaring at Fang Jing, Yang Lixin said with a straight face: "Aren't you very busy and have to leave soon?"
This kid, are you waiting to see his joke?
"Yes, yes, I'm still very busy. I'm leaving now. Goodbye, Uncle Yang. Goodbye, Auntie Li. Happy New Year!"
As soon as he went out, Fang Jing heard a scream inside the house.
"Tell me, where is the wine hidden?"
"No, it's Fang Jing's fault. He hurt me. I was forced to do it. Oh, don't do it..."
…
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, at 9 a.m., movie theaters begin showing this year’s Lunar New Year movies. The highest-scheduled movies are Nezha: The Devil Boy Comes to the World in Nanjing, and The Wandering Earth ranks fourth.
Before it was released, the slogans of the two films were very different. One was China's No. 1 science fiction film, and the other was China's No. 1 animated film.
The slogan was originally thought up by Fang Jing. Who knows how to brag about a good thing? It doesn’t cost money anyway, so just brag until you die.
On the first day of the movie theater, the auditorium was full, and the audience was waiting to see it with popcorn in hand.
"I watched Jonker 2 last time. Not to mention, it was quite funny. I must support Nezha this time."
"Jonny Road 2 has a box office of 1.7 billion. Why do I feel that it is not as good as the movie Jon Road 1? Sure enough, it still can't work without Fang Jing."
"Nanjing's movies are considered conscientious. At least they are much better than those shoddy movies. Anyway, our whole family is following their dramas."
Putting on his hat and mask, Fang Jing found a movie theater and sat down to watch The Wandering Earth. He had never seen this movie in his previous life, and his only impression was that the protagonist was paid hundreds of thousands, and the box office was frighteningly high.
An hour later, Fang Jing was a little disappointed.
The director probably spent all his money on special effects. The plot is weak, the advertising placement is a bit crazy, and the dialogue is barely hit.
It's pretty good among domestic science fiction films, but it's still a bit unwatchable.
It seems that Nanjing will occupy the first place in the box office today. It’s a good start with a new year and a new atmosphere. Not bad.
