When Zhang Tianai saw the box office on the third day, he immediately called Li Yi.
Li Yi was enjoying a sweet dream in bed.
He dreamed that he was at the beach, under a sun umbrella, wearing glasses, listening to the sound of the waves comfortably, and there were three or two beauties fanning beside him, looking very chic.
A ringing phone woke him up.
Li Yi fumbled for the phone on the bedside and responded: "Hello"
"Brother, our "The Tuner" topped the box office list yesterday!" Zhang Tianai said excitedly.
"This is a normal thing, don't be surprised." Li Yi said calmly.
But Zhang Tianai on the other end of the phone said excitedly: "This is my first movie after all. I didn't expect it to sell so much at the box office. I was disappointed at first."
"How is it possible, brother Xinyi, to have eternal life?" Li Yi smiled and said: "By the way, when will your contract with your company expire?"
Zhang Tianai said: "Because of the new contract regulations, I only signed it for two years, and it expired in half a year."
Li Yi did the math and felt that his film and television company should have been established by then, so he said: "If I set up a film and television company, would you be willing to sign a contract with me? I will do everything possible to provide you with resources."
When Zhang Tianai heard this, he immediately said excitedly: "Of course! I will definitely be more popular than now!"
"Okay, let's make an agreement then. I will help you win the Best Actress when the time comes." Li Yi said confidently.
After hearing this, Zhang Tianai was very moved, but at the same time she also said playfully: "Brother, why do you care about me so much?"
Li Yi smiled and said, "We have filmed together twice. I know your acting skills. My company needs someone who can support the scene. If I don't look for you to be the front man, who will I look for?"
Zhang Tianai was deceived by Li Yi and said with certainty: "It seems that this comrade has a very high ideological consciousness and has started looking for potential stocks so quickly. I hope that I, a potential stock, can become a big tree in your film and television company in the future!"
"
"Absolutely!" Li Yile said cheerfully.
After Zhang Tianai's verbal promise, Li Yi relaxed a lot.
After all, my own film and television company has not yet been established, everything is unknown, and whether there are actors to sign or not is a question.
But after "The Tuner" becomes popular, he can use Zhang Tianai to promote his film company.
In addition, Li Yi got the script of "The Unknown" from that assignment book.
If you find actors and start filming at the right time, you can get the first shot!
The more Li Yi thought about it, the more excited he became, so much so that he no longer wanted to stay in bed and was about to get up.
Unexpectedly, Song Yingying called me.
"Hey, Li Yi!" Song Yingying suddenly shouted on the other end of the phone.
Li Yi sighed: "I asked you to stop whining."
"What's wrong, you haven't seen me for a few days, so you're not afraid of me anymore?" Song Yingying said in a fierce tone.
Li Yi said speechlessly: "When have I ever been afraid? What happened?"
Song Yingying then got down to business: "It was Sister Fen who told me that she had foreseen the popularity of "The Tuner" at the box office, and believed that this movie would definitely be number one at the box office during the Lunar New Year! She said you are this
The movie’s investors, Huayi, couldn’t bear the lack of publicity for the movie, so they said they could provide the company’s resources to promote it for you.”
"So good?" Li Yi was a little surprised.
"It's terrible! It's not like Sister Fen took the initiative to go to Manager He and let him approve this plan. Anyway, you can rest assured that publicity methods are absolutely indispensable. Sister Fen said that the box office of "The Tuner" will definitely explode in the past two days."
Song Yingying explained.
Li Yi replied: "That's okay, it seems like I'll have to treat Sister Fen to dinner another day."
After hanging up the phone, Li Yi left the bedroom.
Su Luomei, who was knitting a sweater in the living room, heard the noise and said, "There is breakfast in the kitchen, remember to eat it."
Li Yi replied: "Okay! Thank you mom, only mom is good in the world, and mom's children"
Su Luomei couldn't help but complain: "You said your character was not so shameless when you were studying. How come you have become so shameless now that you have been working for a year?"
Li Yi brushed her teeth, walked out of the bathroom, sat on the edge of the sofa, and said incoherently: "That's because you can make money by being shameless. Mom, you don't understand."
"I still don't understand. Do you think I don't know that being shameless can lead to success? I remember when you were going to the best elementary school in town, and I took you to knock on the principal's door. The first time, the principal was unwilling to accept me.
I'll go the second time, the third time, and I won't accept you until the fourth time."
Li Yi felt quite emotional while listening to Su Luomei talking about the past.
He returned to the room, took out a card from under the pillow, and then placed it in front of Su Luomei: "Mom, this is my filial piety to you and Dad. You can eat when you need to eat and drink when you need to drink."
Su Luomei looked at the bank card and said suspiciously: "It's good that you can take care of yourself. Just keep this card for yourself."
"No, I have money, and the money on this card is not much." Li Yi said calmly, took out breakfast from the kitchen and started eating.
Su Luomei asked: "How much?"
"Fifty thousand, it's not much. I know you won't be able to sleep if you have too much money, so I'll give you half a million."
Listening to Li Yi's words, Su Luomei immediately put the card in his pocket: "Oh my god, five hundred thousand? Hurry up and hide it."
Seeing that Su Luomei's reaction was no exception, Li Yi explained: "I am often careless and it is easy for the card to disappear, so you can keep it safe for me. You can spend it as you like, don't worry, the password is your birthday.
"
Su Luomei took the bank card and muttered: "Where should I put so much money? Let me think about it, think about it."
Li Yi didn't care. After chatting for a few words, he went out wearing a mask and hat.
He wanted to see the flow of people at the movie theater in his small town.
After the tickets for "The Tuner" were sold out yesterday, many cinemas arranged emergency screenings for the next day.
And even though it's the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, there are still a lot of audiences in the cinema.
Li Yi looked at the film schedule on the screen.
Unexpectedly, on the fourth day of the box office battle, "The Tuner" actually topped the list for the first time in terms of film schedule.
The film schedule of "The Tuner" is 30.6%.
The film schedule of "The Secret of the Dragon" is 20.8%.
"Bear Bears" has a film schedule of 13.6%.
As for "Macau 3," which was originally one of the three most powerful films in the past, its film schedule dropped to 10.1%, and its film schedule rate was almost cut in half.
Li Yi was very satisfied when he saw that his work had such results.
When he was about to leave the theater, he suddenly heard several young people sighing.
"Damn, I doubt hunger marketing, right? How can it be that I can't always buy tickets for "The Tuner"."
"That's right, I suspect that the capital of "The Tuner" has come to an end. First, there will be a wave of hunger marketing, and we will learn from Xiaomi's marketing strategy for mobile phones!"
"Forget it, forget it, let's look at buying tickets for the day after tomorrow."
Li Yi saw several audience members coming to the theater in high spirits, but in the end they left frustrated and felt a little uncomfortable.
After all, it is a pity that my work cannot be presented to everyone due to ticket purchase.
So Li Yi returned to the counter and asked the waiter: "I would like to ask, are all the tickets for "The Tuner" sold out today? Can there be more movie screenings?"
The waiter was a young girl who had just come of age. She was so busy that she was sweating. When she looked up at Li Yi, she apologized and explained: "I'm sorry, I'm very sorry, because our tickets are really sold out. The specific number of additional shows needs to be approved by the manager."
agree."
While the waiter was explaining, a middle-aged man in a suit came out of the office. He looked at Li Yi and asked: "Sir, how can I help you?"
Li Yi asked: "I would like to ask, can't the show of "The Tuner" be added? After all, many people say they don't need to watch it."
"It's like this. We already ranked "The Tuner" at the top of the schedule yesterday, but we can't halve the schedule of other movies. After all, other film developers have also cooperated with theaters." The manager explained with a smile.
After hearing the manager's answer, Li Yi nodded: "So that's it, there's nothing we can do about it."
"I'm really sorry. We'll give you a cup of Coke here. I'll check it out in the next two days and you should have the tickets. I'm really sorry." The manager took a cup of Coke and handed it to Li Yi.
Li Yi thanked her, then took off half of the mask, took a sip, and praised: "It's very cold, very cold."
But just like this, the waiter in front of Li Yi immediately became excited, pointed at Li Yi, and said in panic: "You, you are Li Yi?!"
The manager originally wanted to reprimand his subordinate for being so rude.
But after listening to his subordinate's words, he turned to look at Li Yi and suddenly realized: "Are you Li Yi?"
Of course he knew that Li Yi was from this place, so it wouldn't be a special surprise if he could see him in the cinema.
Li Yi smiled and saw that everyone was surprised, so he simply took off his mask and said, "You have very good eyesight, I can see it all."
"It's really Li Yi!"
"Ahhhh!!!"
The waitresses at the counter were so excited that some even spilled the popcorn on the floor.
The spectators queuing around also looked over.
"Damn it, Li Yi!"
"Is it really him?"
"Oh my god, I saw a living person!"
When Li Yi heard everyone's excited words, he couldn't laugh or cry for a moment. Why did he say such things when he saw a living person?
He smiled and said: "Hello everyone~ I am Li Yi!"
In an instant, there were people standing in front of him.
But it seems that all the people who come to watch movies are young people with relatively good quality, and they always keep a distance from Li Yi.
While taking pictures, they also complained to Li Yi: "Brother Li Yi, we can't buy tickets!"
A girl with a haircut said angrily.
"Yes! Brother Yi, can the theater arrange more shows?"
"That's right, are we short of the movie ticket money?"
"Manager, please listen to our voices!"
The manager was suddenly filled with complaints, and he was also very embarrassed: "It is true that we cannot arrange movie screenings. Now there is only one high-end VIP cinema that is not open."
Someone immediately asked: "Why isn't it open?"
"That's right! I want to buy a ticket!"
The manager explained: "Because the equipment and venue of the high-end VIP cinema are relatively large, if not many people buy tickets, we will lose costs."
At this time, Li Yi said: "It doesn't matter, I'll book the VIP cinema."
Then he looked at everyone: "You can't see "The Tuner" and can't buy tickets. To be honest, I feel a little uncomfortable, so I plan to invite everyone to watch the movie and go to the VIP theater. You can come to the front desk to register!
"
For a moment, everyone lined up in two lines.
The manager was also stunned. He then came to his senses and immediately ordered his subordinates: "Hurry! The theater is ready! Come in! Xiaodie! Register the number of people!"
"What? Li Yi booked the theater for everyone to watch movies for free?"
"Holy shit, right? I just bought the movie "The Secret of the Dragon"!"
"You're still watching something stupid. We originally watched "The Secret of the Dragon" because we couldn't buy tickets for "The Tuner". Let's go, don't use this spare ticket."
All of a sudden, the line to register to watch "The Tuner" got longer and longer.
