"I just said that this movie was very boring. I even persuaded my mother to write something interesting. How can young people like to watch such romance? Can't we write some exciting scripts?"
Bai Xingchuan was woken up by Qiu Yuan in the end. As soon as he left the screening room, he complained and shouted dissatisfiedly.
"Yeah! I think so too, so how about we form a group to watch "The Wire"?" Qiu Yuan also echoed beside him.
The time now is only four o'clock in the afternoon, and the maximum time to watch a movie is seven o'clock in the evening. This is not a late return time for contemporary college students.
Although watching the movie "Train to Winter" made Qiu Yuan drowsy, the overall movie viewing experience gave Qiu Yuan a feeling of... the pleasure of being taken care of by a rich woman.
After watching the whole movie, Qiu Yuan was chatting with Lin Wanxiang. As a pretty boy, he received a reward of almost 700 yuan and a priceless opportunity to write a movie script.
This kind of feeling would be fine even if Qiu Yuan could watch a hundred boring art movies with Wan Xiang!
In addition, "The Wire" is not a literary film, but a cool military-themed movie. It was released three days earlier than "Train to Winter" and grossed 110 million at the box office on the first day.
From this score, we can see the terrifying strength of this movie.
Optics Valley Cinema is not stupid enough to give up money, so of course the recent movie schedule is "The Wire" and all are fully booked. "Train to Winter" may be a symbolic movie because of its premiere.
Arrange films.
This makes Qiu Yuan feel that the box office of this literary film may not even reach one million on the first day. Whether it will reach one million by the time it is released is also a question.
"Forget about the movie "The Wire". Even if I go back today, I won't watch this movie." When Bai Xingchuan mentioned "The Wire", there was an indescribable disgust in his tone.
This feeling of disgust is not based on the disgust of the audience, but on another level of hostility.
"Why? Wanxiang doesn't seem to mind watching another movie. It's still early."
Qiu Yuan felt that Lin Wanxiang was not the kind of girl who liked shopping. The bags Bai Xingchuan was carrying were filled with books bought by Lin Wanxiang.
When Bai Xingchuan was asked this question by Qiu Yuan, he first glanced at Lin Wanxiang next to him asking for advice. After Lin Wanxiang nodded lightly to show that he didn't care, Bai Xingchuan thought for a while and decided to tell Qiu Yuan.
Inside story.
"Because the cloud media company that produced "The Wire" has a feud with our family, haven't you seen relevant news on the Internet before? There was a contract dispute for the movie "Old Friend from Away". My mother's health was not good to begin with, and she almost died because of it.
I was so angry that I went to the hospital." What Bai Xingchuan said is not a secret.
This incident detonated the entire entertainment industry back then, and it was considered an epic melon. Now, just by typing in some keywords online, you can eat a lot of ripe melons.
"How can a bastard like me pay attention to these things? I'll just watch that movie if it's good."
Qiu Yuan really didn't pay much attention to things in the entertainment industry before, whether it was the original owner or himself now.
"It doesn't matter if you don't pay attention, the senior executives of Cloud Media are really a bunch of bastards!" After Bai Xingchuan complained fiercely, he realized that he had said the wrong thing, and quickly explained to Lin Wanxiang, "But Xiaowan, I am not referring to you and uncle.
."
"fine."
Lin Wanxiang didn't mind Bai Xingchuan's abuse of Cloud Media, but after Qiu Yuan learned the inside story and stood in front of the two posters of "The Wire" and "Train to Winter", his feeling was completely different.
.
"The Wire" is obviously deliberately targeting "Train to Winter". "The Wire" was released two days in advance and ruthlessly plundered all the latter's film schedule and audience resources.
But there are also factors that make "Train to Winter" not live up to expectations. It is difficult for literary films to achieve high box office. The announcement of "The Wire" to be released at the same time will only make "Train to Winter" more dead.
That's all soon.
The film market or any capital market is such a cruel thing, and few viewers look for connotation in consumer products.
Most people buy a movie ticket just to enjoy two hours of fun; no one wants to listen to two hours of preaching.
There are really very few viewers like Lin Wanxiang who can appreciate the spiritual connotation of "Train to Winter".
"Let's go, my mother has lost three times in a row, she should get used to it." Bai Xingchuan thought Qiu Yuan was remembering something when he stood in front of these two posters.
"So is your mother planning on fighting a fourth battle?"
Qiu Yuan listened to Bai Xingchuan's narration and concluded that his mother Bai Ya must have had a conflict with Cloud Media, or perhaps Cloud Media was deliberately trying to stumbling over Bai Ya.
If Bai Ya is really the kind of young literary screenwriter who insists on "connotation" over "coolness", it will be really difficult for the movies she creates to win against the behemoth Cloud Media in the box office battlefield.
"I... don't know. I haven't gone home to see her for a long time. Hey! Why am I telling you all this? Xiaowan, let's go have dinner."
Bai Xingchuan found that he seemed to have talked more to Qiu Yuan today than to Lin Wanxiang!
Qiu Yuan was his love rival! So as a love rival, he directly carried the paper bag and asked Lin Wanxiang if he wanted to have a meal first.
Lin Wanxiang looked at Qiu Yuan with eyes asking for advice.
"There is a Laohai Hotpot restaurant next door, so for the sake of Wanxiang, Brother Bai, hurry up and treat her to us!" Qiu Yuan's creed in life is that you should never miss anything you can get for free.
Normally when a man goes out on a date with a girl, the man must pay for the meal, and the girl only needs to sit there and have a delicious meal. So if the girl brings a man over to enjoy the meal, logically speaking, there is no problem!
"Why should I invite you..."
"Everyone can pay their own dues, just like before."
Lin Wanxiang made a decision. She never used Bai Xingchuan's money when she went out. Even if she had a hot pot meal, she had to break it down to how many mutton rolls you had eaten and how much the mutton roll was worth.
Bai Xingchuan didn't know whether Lin Wanxiang was too generous or too stingy, but he was used to this AA system, and then gave Qiu Yuan an expression of "You want me to treat you? No way!"
Qiu Yuan didn't notice Bai Xingchuan's expression at all, because Qiu Yuan's eyes were attracted by a girl in the distance who had just walked into the cinema.
She is still wearing a school uniform, which is often seen in Qiuyuan. It should be the uniform of Jiangcheng Foreign Language School, an aristocratic high school.
But the uniforms of noble high schools are still the kind of rustic Chinese-style sportswear.
The girl looked like she was in her senior year of high school. She had just finished her extra classes and brought her classmates to this cinema.
She was surrounded by several classmates like a little princess, but the little princess suddenly noticed...Bai Xingchuan standing in the cinema.
Qiu Yuan looked at her proud and proud expression, and when he saw Bai Xingchuan, he instantly turned into anger, and then walked to Bai Xingchuan's side aggressively.
Bai Xingchuan was still discussing with Lin Wanxiang what to eat tonight, but the girl kicked him hard in the leg.
What is this? The harem male protagonist’s Shura field scene?
Qiu Yuan saw the girl's unruly movements, and her appearance was no less than Wanxiang's, so he probably guessed her true identity.
"Xiaoyu, what the hell are you doing!" Bai Xingchuan covered his kicked foot and his voice was a little distorted.
"Brother! Why are you still following this woman? Don't you know that their family has a grudge against us?"
The girl named Bai Xiaoyu pointed at Lin Wanxiang, who was standing quietly aside, and shouted angrily regardless of the gazes of those around the cinema.
"How many times have I told you that Cloud Media is a bunch of bastards, but Uncle Lin is on our side!"
Bai Xingchuan stood up angrily after being kicked and wanted to fight back to catch Bai Xiaoyu, but after Bai Xiaoyu easily dodged it...she kicked him hard in the calf.
Work harder! Brother-in-law.
Qiu Yuan felt that Bai Xingchuan was too embarrassed. Bai Xiaoyu's height was only 1.65 meters, but Bai Xingchuan, who was 1.8 meters tall, was beaten so hard by his sister that he could not fight back.
The fight between the brother and sister was still going on. Qiu Yuan was still waving flags and cheering, but Qiu Yuan felt that the corner of his clothes was pulled by someone.
Qiu Yuan turned his head and saw that Lin Wanxiang was gently pulling the corner of his clothes with his little hands.
"Let's go eat." Lin Wanxiang whispered to Qiu Yuan.
"Aren't you going to save him?" Qiu Yuan asked, pointing to Bai Xingchuan who had been beaten by Bai Xiaoyu's collar. He felt that if he didn't save his brother-in-law, he would be beaten into the hospital.
"It's okay, they can just make a fuss and it'll be fine."
What do you call this a fuss?
What Lin Wanxiang said was heard by Bai Xiaoyu. She instantly stopped beating her brother and shouted to Lin Wanxiang from a distance.
"What do you mean, just make a fuss! Don't say it has nothing to do with you!" Bai Xiaoyu abandoned his poor brother and walked towards Lin Wanxiang again.
When Qiu Yuan saw this scene, he immediately stood in front of Lin Wanxiang and looked at the little girl with a fierce look.
"Xiaoyu! Don't mess around!" Bai Xingchuan also got up from the ground and shouted to his sister.
Lin Wanxiang gently pressed Qiu Yuan's arm in front of her with her hand, and faced Bai Xiaoyu's question without any pressure.
"People around are taking pictures, is it really okay to continue?" Lin Wanxiang asked calmly.
This sentence made Bai Xiaoyu freeze on the spot. She turned around and looked around. The eyes of the people in the cinema were really attracted. Some people even picked up their mobile phones to record the scene.
"Xiaoyu, stop messing around." Bai Xingchuan also stood in front of his sister and said.
"you……"
Bai Xiaoyu's harsh words choked in her throat suddenly turned into a whimpering feeling.
Some crystal tears also overflowed from the corners of her eyes. She was trying her best to hold on to her strong side, but tears couldn't lie.
After all, this Bai Xiaoyu is just an ordinary high school student.
When faced with this kind of dispute in such a public place, her relatives and brother, Bai Xingchuan, who should have been on her side, stood on the side of Lin Wanxiang, whom she regarded as her enemy.
Not only Bai Xingchuan, but all the passers-by in the cinema seemed to be on Lin Wanxiang's side, even though Bai Xiaoyu took the initiative to stir up trouble.
But Qiu Yuan felt that this situation should have exceeded the limit of Bai Xiaoyu's psychological endurance. Although she seemed to be the stronger party, she was the most helpless.
"I will remember this today! Bai Xingchuan! Don't even think about entering my house again!"
Bai Xiaoyu finally said these cruel words and walked back to the group of his classmates.
Qiu Yuan silently watched the girl's leaving figure, and then glanced at Bai Xingchuan. The elder brother was constantly saying to Lin Wanxiang, "The child is still young and not sensible, so please be considerate."
Although Bai Xiaoyu is accompanied by her classmates, she may be the loneliest one among everyone present.
But Qiu Yuan doesn't want to interfere with the family affairs of these two families. Qiu Yuan can't care about it anyway. Now Qiu Yuan just wants to eat the hot pot from the bottom of the sea, and then go back to the dormitory to sleep comfortably.
