Chapter 40 The New Year

"Aunt Lan, Happy New Year."

Home, Lin Juan happily held the phone and said, today is the early morning of January 28th, the countdown to the Spring Festival Gala has just ended, and he called Li Lan at the urging of his parents.

Although he felt that there was no need to be so formal, he had to speak politely after being scolded by Chen Lin. She had helped him so much and his relatives also helped, so Lin Juan took the time to make a call.

"Hey, Happy New Year, Xiaojuan, are you at your hometown?" Li Lan's smiling voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Well, at home, I wish you a happy New Year, Aunt Lan." Lin Juan said with a smile. He had a successful career this year and his relatives were around during the New Year. He was in a very good mood at the moment.

"If you're interested, help me say hello to your parents." Li Lan said gently.

Lin Juan was about to speak when he heard a familiar sweet voice coming from his cell phone: "Auntie, who are you calling?"

Han Xiaoxue...

Lin Juan's heart beat so fast.

"Xiaojuan, you guys go ahead and play while I chat with him. Hey, do you want to say hello to him?" Li Lan's voice had a rare hint of slyness.

Han Xiaoxue was generous: "Give me your cell phone."

The sound is getting closer...

"Xiao Juan, I'm playing cards. Xiao Xue wants to say a few words to you." Li Lan finished speaking with a smile. Before Lin Juan could respond, Han Xiaoxue's generous voice sounded on the other side of the phone: "Hey, Director Lin, Happy New Year."

.”

"Happy New Year." Lin Juan felt like there was something stuck in his throat after he said it, his voice was a little hoarse, and he coughed quickly.

"Thank you, Director Lin. I heard from my aunt that your "Journey to the Center of the Earth" is very good. Congratulations. Unfortunately, I was not there at the time. I had to wait until it was released and I took people to support you at the box office."

"Okay, thank you."

"You're welcome, I'm looking forward to it. Director Lin, let's not talk anymore. You must be very busy over there, right?" Han Xiaoxue said generously with a smile. What Lin Juan wanted to say was stuck in his throat, and he laughed.

Then he said: "Okay, I'm quite busy, let's talk next time."

"Well, I'll treat you to dinner when you return to Tianhai, bye."

"Okay, bye."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Juan's heartbeat was pounding and he was confused.

Did you just talk to Han Xiaoxue?

What I just said...wasn't it appropriate? What did I say? Was it too boring?

Oops! I didn’t wish her a big hit in the movie either!

Lin Juan's mind turned over and over again...

But how could a woman like her like herself...



"Xiao Juan, how are you? Why are you in a daze?" Chen Lin asked while playing mahjong.

"The fight is over." Lin Juan said with a smile, putting his worries aside.

Forget it, don’t think about it anymore.

Normal heart, normal heart.

"Okay, come on, son, wish me a happy New Year." Chen Lin said with a smile. Together, the five women were playing mahjong and watching the Spring Festival Gala in the big room, while the men were fighting landlords, frying golden flowers and so on.

Lin Juan was playing with them just now, while his two younger brothers and sisters were playing black and white games on their mobile phones.

When Lin Juan heard his mother's call, he immediately smiled and said, "Happy New Year, mother, may you be in good health and may everything go well."

"Good son~" Chen Lin smiled so hard that she couldn't even see her eyes. She immediately took out three red envelopes from her arms, handed one to Lin Juan, and said, "Give your aunt and the others a new year's greeting and ask for the red envelopes."

After saying that, she went to tease her younger brothers and sisters, while Lin Juan obediently greeted them one by one.

I collected a big pile of red envelopes, including those from my grandparents!

No matter how much money Lin Juan earns, as long as he is not married, he is just a child in the eyes of his aunt and others, and he must be given red envelopes.

After collecting a circle of red envelopes, my aunt smiled and said: "Xiao Juan, we have collected all the red envelopes. It's your turn to distribute them. You have made so much money this year."

My aunt also chimed in: "Yes, touch! Xiaojuan, hurry up and send out red envelopes so we can enjoy your happiness."

The aunt said with a smile: "When this is over, we will kill Xiaojuan. Xiaojuan, you won't do it."

Lin Juan smiled, picked up his phone and sent out a big red envelope worth two thousand yuan. The amount was based on the number of people. Now, everyone was excited.

"Hurry up and grab the red envelope! The biggest tycoon in our family has taken action!" my aunt shouted happily.

"Wow, Xiaojuan, how much did you pay? I grabbed two hundred and forty yuan." Auntie spoke Cantonese Mandarin.

Lin Juan smiled and replied: "Two thousand."

Now the men couldn't sit still anymore, and they enthusiastically grabbed red envelopes in the group.

Feeling the atmosphere, Lin Juan smiled knowingly. It felt great to make his family more happy and lively because of him.

I also gave red envelopes worth 500 to each of my younger brothers and sisters. When the children started shouting, the house became more lively.

Then the fireworks outside started to sound, and Lin Zheng said excitedly: "Let's set off the whip!"

All the adults and children in the house rushed out. The men each carried a box of fireworks. Five boxes of fireworks were neatly placed in the yard in front of the door. As they lit the fire and ran away, five bright fireworks roared into the sky.

, and then exploded violently at high altitude, blooming together!

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Half the sky is bright!

The children's excited shouts and the adults' happy praises all formed a joyful scene.

Lin Juan raised his head and looked at the bright fireworks with a warm smile.

I am coming.

Hello 2017.



On the first day of the New Year, the land of the motherland is filled with fireworks and a festive atmosphere.

Major shopping malls and movie theaters are overcrowded, and the war for Spring Festival movies has entered a state of fierce competition.

"Journey to the West" and "Interstellar" have almost gone hand in hand. Both movies have exceeded 200 million in box office in a single day, setting new records in Chinese film history. They are so powerful that other movies are one echelon behind, such as "Kung Fu India" at the box office.

There were only 120 million on the first day, and none of the other movies exceeded 100 million on the first day.

On the first day of the new year, China's box office total was 960 million, setting a new single-day record in Chinese film history.

The next day, word-of-mouth began to spread, but because there were a large number of trolls disturbing the view, ordinary viewers were not very clear about what was going on in the pool, so they still chose the movie according to their own feelings and entered the theater.

On this day, the box office gap widened. The box office of "Journey to the West" exceeded 400 million. Affected by negative reviews on the Internet, the box office of "Interstellar" dropped slightly. It reported 180 million in a single day, and the total box office barely reached 40 million.

100 million, while the box office of "Riding the Wind and Waves" increased slightly, with the total box office exceeding 100 million.

On the third day, the box office momentum of "Journey to the West" began to decline, with a single-day revenue of 180 million, while "Interstellar" continued to decline, with a revenue of 150 million, and "Kung Fu India" recorded a revenue of 100 million.

"Riding the Wind and Waves" continued to rise, earning 80 million in a single day, while "Havoc in Tianzhu" could not stop its decline in reputation, earning only 50 million in a single day.

Three days later, word-of-mouth online began to clear up, and reviews from real audiences emerged in large numbers. The box office momentum of "Interstellar" continued to decline. By February 5th, the single-day box office of "Interstellar" had dropped below the 100 million mark.

Although "Journey to the West" has a polarizing reputation, it still maintains a single-day box office of more than 100 million thanks to Xingye's strong appeal, but its lack of stamina has been noticed by everyone.

It was on this day that Lin Juan finished transcribing the script "No. 001", and then took out his mobile phone and called Li Lan.

"Aunt Lan, I sent you an email. It contains the script I mentioned. I want to film it this year."
