Chapter 20
Friday, April 28.
After dinner at Hing Kee Cafe, Guan Zhilin took Yin Jun and excitedly called a taxi, all the way to the Hollywood Theater on Nathan Road in Mong Kok.
Since Guan Zhilin came to Xingji Tea Restaurant for dinner last week, she has a very sweet mouth and coaxed Brother Xing to be unable to find Bei, so this time, it was easy to help Yin Jun to ask for leave, leave work an hour earlier, and go to catch her daddy Brother He Jun's masterpiece - the second scene of the premiere day of "The Seven Days of Love".
The Hollywood Theater is one of the few super theaters in Hong Kong. It has been in business since 1964 and has 1,765 locations. It once joined the Shaw Brothers Cinema chain, but now it does not belong to any theater chain. When Shaw Brothers wants to expand the scale of its release, it will definitely rent its theaters.
In addition, if there is a film that can afford the underwriting fee, it still needs to be played. Usually, it is a theater that can meet the needs of a small production movie.
However, this time, the Hollywood Theater did not start the film jointly because of Golden Harvest, but their boss and Guan Shan had a little friendship, so they charged a lower underwriting fee and agreed to release it together.
Since Yin Jun gave Guan Shan the script on the 2nd, in less than a month, Guan Shan has been recruited, filmed, and released. I really have to sigh that there is really no delay in doing things in Xiangjiang. word.
This situation also happened in Happy Theater and Star Theater. These three large theaters have a total of almost 3,000 seats, which is almost half of the 8 theater seats that Jiahe gave to "The Wrong Seven Days of Love", so this is also a close After the shirt can finally insist on being broadcast for a week, we will talk about the important reliance of the distribution rights in other cities.
To this end, Guan Shan also paid an additional fee of more than 30,000 yuan a week, which is not small.
Because the investor's money was refunded before Guan Shan, Guan Shan has spent almost all his money for the sake of "The Seven Days of Love". He borrowed money and borrowed some. It's been a while, so he and Zhang Bingqian are on guard in Hollywood early, ready to see how the audience reacts.
Because of this, Guan Zhilin had the opportunity to sneak out, find Yin Jun, and let him watch a movie with her.
When the two came over, they happened to meet the end of the first show. A large group of spectators rushed out. In addition, they were surrounded by audiences who were going to watch the next show, as well as hawkers who bought food and drink. Suddenly blocked.
After Yin Jun paid for the car and turned around, Guan Zhilin smiled and took Yin Jun's hand and said, "Brother Jun, our movie has a good response."
"How to say?"
"Look, when they came out, they were almost always smiling, talking and laughing. Isn't that the reaction of watching a good movie?" Guan Zhilin pointed to the crowd under the lights not far away.
"Yes, we Jiahui also know what it means to be observant." Yin Jun smiled and touched her Fan Zhen, "Let's go, the movie is about to start."
"Oh~~"
Guan Zhilin held the prepared snacks and drinks in one hand, and put a small hand in Yin Jun's palm, making Yin Jun hold her tightly. It felt so good.
This girl's eyes are only optimistic, but she has not seen it at all. There are many audience members who are cursing, and of course not the kind of angry that throws sugar cane.
Yin Jun knows the reason without asking. It must be that Li Du and Yang Naidong didn't get together at the end, so they were upset.
But after Yin Jun wrote the script, he felt that the box office of "The Mistaken Seven Days of Love" seemed to be so high, which had something to do with its slightly regrettable ending.
Whether this is the case or not, it still has to be this lifetime, Yin Jun will observe it himself.
The two quickly entered the theater. Just before the lights went dark, Yin Jun looked around and found that about 60% of the people in Nuoda's theater were already seated, and he nodded slightly.
For a love movie without a big star, it is already a good start to have so many people in the second screening.
Of course, maybe this also has something to do with the current time period being the best time to watch movies.
A minute later, the movie started playing.
What Yin Jun could not have imagined was that Guan Shan actually played the leading role in person.
However, after putting on makeup, Guan Shan looks like he is in his thirties, which is somewhat similar to Li Du, who has accomplished nothing in the movie.
The heroine Yang Naidong, Guan Shan is looking for a somewhat famous actress. Unlike Ye Tong's version of the heroine a few years later, this heroine is more beautiful, but her gentle temperament is not inferior to that of Ye Tong when she was young .
Yin Jun looked at the introduction of the main actor. Her name was Chang Wei. Yin Jun had never heard her name before, so she must have been an unknown actress before.
Don't look at Chang Wei's lack of fame. In the second scene she acted, when the vegetable stall owner drenched the vegetables and emptied at least two taels of water in the weighing pan, she was gentle and shrewd. His temperament made the audience burst into laughter.
But the most laughable person is naturally Li Du.
Whether it's a parking lot security guard, a gold shop security guard, or a bank security guard, this unfortunate guy can encounter situations every time, but he still looks innocent and pitiful, making the audience gloat.
In the short opening five minutes, the audience laughed five or six times, which made the atmosphere of the whole theater immediately relaxed.
"It's done!"
Just seeing this, seeing that Guan Shan was strictly in accordance with his own split script, and seeing the audience's reaction, Yin Jun couldn't help but say this in Guan Zhilin's ear with some joy.
He was a little worried at first. If he took out "The Wrong Seven Days of Love" five years in advance, would he not be accustomed to the situation? The appreciation level of Xiangjiang people five years ago and five years later will be different?
It now appears that these worries are unnecessary.
A good and good movie, no matter if you watch it ten years later or ten years ago, is still a popular and good movie.
The more than 90 minutes of "The Wrong Seven Days of Love", basically people would laugh every few minutes. The most laughable person was Li Du who couldn't help but talk to Yang Naidong. After that, Yang Naidong kicked him to the bed.
The appearance of Li Du's little daughter-in-law made people laugh so hard that no one in the whole movie theater would not laugh.
But in the end, after Yang Naidong's non-thing husband came back, Li Du had to leave sadly.
On the pier, he stood melancholy in front of the railing, but was pleasantly surprised to see Yang Naidong riding a small motorcycle to see him off, all the unhappiness in his heart was forcibly concealed, he waved to her forcefully, and walked in. ship.
Yang Naidong also lowered her head, and when she lifted her up, she bit her lip lightly, reluctance, uneasiness, guilt... and so on were intertwined on her face.
The picture is frozen at this moment, and the whole play ends.
Seeing the "End of the Play" sign sounded, everyone was still immersed in the plot for a while and did not turn around.
Although most of the time, it is very funny and warm, but this ending is obviously a bit unpleasant.
"Mother ****! What a broken ending!"
With a roar, a white sugar cane was thrown out and smashed directly on the screen above the stage.
"Yes, it's so frustrating!"
"Let's have fun all the way, will you die?"
"Asshole director! Asshole screenwriter! Don't show up in front of me, or I'll hack you!"
"The same split!"
"Three splits!!"
"..."
Well, with the lead, at least a dozen sugar canes were thrown on it, making Yin Jun feel the power of the "Sugar Cane Gang" for the first time.
Originally, many people were immersed in the unhappiness of parting. Seeing these people roaring like this, some people laughed.
"Hahaha……"
Inside the theater, laughter mingled again and again.
But now that the lights are on, if you look carefully, you will find many girls smiling with tears on their faces.
done!
Yin Jun clenched his fists and confirmed his previous judgment again.
A movie that can make people cry and laugh, then this is the basic success.
He usually has a calm and indifferent personality, but this time, whether the script he wrote for the first time can be well received by the public is a very important matter.
Now that I am not disappointed, the rare Yin Jun is also happy.
However, he completely forgot that he was still holding Guan Zhilin's little hand with one hand. Such a grip made Guan Zhilin in pain.
Miss Guan wanted to cry out in pain, but seeing Brother Jun's happy appearance, she was smart and immediately sensed Brother Jun's mood at this time, so she couldn't help but grit her silver teeth lightly and couldn't help but cry.
It was not until he walked out of the theater that Yin Jun relaxed amid the lively discussions.
Instead of taking Guan Zhilin back, he looked at the sign and walked straight to the theater office on the second floor on the side.
Before Zhang Bingqian called Xingji Tea Restaurant, told Yin Jun that Guan Zhilin had been looking for him in the past, and told him to send his daughter back here after watching the movie.
As a mother, you will never relax the protection of your daughter anytime, anywhere.
Going up the stairs, Guan Shan and Zhang Bingqian happened to be standing there talking to a few men. Guan Shan's face was full of smiles, and the laughter continued, and even his voice seemed to be a little louder.
"Haha, it's all up to everyone's help! The Golden Dragon Restaurant opposite Hengsheng, I've already reserved a place, let's go over and talk! Mr. Cai from Jiahe, and Boss Zhang and Boss Bai are here. ." As Guan Shan said, he raised his hand and asked a few middle-aged people to walk in front of the stairs.
Seeing Yin Jun and Guan Zhilin, Guan Shan smiled even more happily, "Jiahui, Junzi! Come on, I've met Uncle Tang, Uncle Ma, Uncle Liu..."
Guan Zhilin was also well-behaved and shouted sweetly.
Yin Jun naturally followed suit.
The responses of several people were also very enthusiastic, but the eyes they looked at Guan Zhilin and Yin Jun were a bit funny.
In Xiangjiang, basically at the age of fifteen or sixteen, more boys and girls start dating.
They don't need to look any further, they only need to see Guan Zhilin standing beside Yin Jun pretty, with a sweet look on their face, to know what their relationship is.
