Chapter 688 Chapter 200 Teach Me About Heroes
Monday, February 16, early morning.
That night, he didn't sleep well.
When Li Qian woke up, he felt a little headache.
When I went to bed last night, it was not yet ten o'clock. It is supposed to be a good night's sleep, but my mind was full of thoughts, and everyone around me had been asleep for a long time, so he finally fell asleep hazily. And this night, all kinds of dreams came in my mind one after another, making it difficult for people to sleep peacefully.
Opening his eyes, he looked left and right, and after a long time, Li Qian felt gradually sober.
Inside and outside the room, it was still pitch black.
After his eyes gradually adapted to the light in the room, he fumbled to find his phone and checked the time. It was only five o'clock!
Turning her head to look at her side, Zhou Mo was having a good dream.
Not only was his breathing steady and long, but there seemed to be a sweet smile on his face.
She has gained weight recently, it seems that the child in her stomach suddenly gave her the best reason to eat, especially in the past six months, Li Qian has witnessed little by little how she changed from less than ninety catties to one hundred Ten catties!
The heater in the room was so hot that one woke up feeling a bit thirsty.
The quilt draped over Zhou Mo's body has a breathtaking curve bulge - there is their child, a small life that has already taken shape.
In about a month, it will be born.
Li Qian turned sideways, looking at Zhou Mo, the smile on her face, and the high bulge on her abdomen that supported the quilt.
The look seemed to startle her.
She suddenly opened her eyes and looked over in a daze.
In the dark, Li Qian smiled, leaned over to kiss her, and whispered: "Go to sleep, go to sleep, it's still early!"
Zhou Mo murmured twice, but she couldn't hear what she said clearly. She seemed to want to lean in sideways, but recently her growing belly has brought great troubles to her daily life. Even if she wants to turn over, she feels Awkward and not daring to move, Li Qian stretched his arm over, patted her shoulder lightly, and comforted her: "Sleep, sleep!"
Zhou Mo stretched out her hand and hugged her arm, blinked her eyes a few times, then closed them uncontrollably, opened her lips a few times, as if murmuring something, but before she could fully wake up, she had already Because he hugged that arm, he fell asleep again all at once.
When she fell asleep, Li Qian smiled, carefully pulled out his arm, and gently helped her put the exposed arm under the quilt, leaned over and kissed her on the face, then leaned over again, separated Holding the quilt, she kissed the bulge of her lower abdomen before turning over and getting up.
Then, a new day begins.
Brush your teeth, wash your face, put on your clothes, drink a glass of water, take a break, go for a run, exercise, boxing.
Not only the darkness before dawn, but also the sky seemed gloomy.
There are no stars and no moon in the sky.
The streetlights on the main road of the villa complex have been extinguished, and there are only a few dim yellow floor lamps left at the corners of the intersections.
Li Qian was jogging in the community in a thin sportswear.
The villa currently arranged for Zhoumo to live in was a batch bought by Qi Jie and Huang Wenjuan when he was considering investment. Among them, two were renovated, and several others were not renovated. . Later, when Zhou Mo became pregnant, Li Qian didn't want her to be disturbed by reporters, and he didn't want to cause any news and gossip, so he moved Zhou Mo here and let her live here.
The villa area is not too big, and there are only forty-five buildings in total. It is not comparable to the villa area where the big villa where he and Wang Jinglu live is currently located.
Even if it is jogging, twenty minutes is enough to walk around the villa.
The body slowly warmed up, and the sky seemed to start to brighten up bit by bit.
In the center of the villa area, there is a small artificial lake.
There was no one around, and the sky was hazy.
After jogging for a while, he felt that his heart gradually became more stable. Li Qian forced his heart to calm down even more, and slowly punched by the lake.
After the two punches, he was already covered in sweat.
At this time, the sky is really starting to brighten up.
When I walked back slowly, my body was very hot, but my heart really gradually settled down.
It seemed that even the disturbing hints in the dream were gradually disappearing as the mood stabilized and the mood improved.
Yes, today is Monday, last week's domestic movie box office list will be announced in a few hours.
This is his first personal attempt at the film industry in this time and space, and now, the box office of the film's first week is about to be known - if it is a forced analogy, maybe this should be regarded as an entrance exam?
He doesn't want to fail, even, because he has such a huge prophetic advantage and the advantage of template reference, he not only does not accept failure, but even asks himself to win big in his heart!
And win beautifully!
Otherwise, he will feel sorry for the name "My Sassy Girl"!
And that movie in the back of my mind!
Although in fact, the directors are different, the actors are different, and the social background of the film is also different, which makes the two films inconsistent in many places.
Walking all the way back, Li Qian couldn't help but think: Actually, there is no need to worry.
The day before yesterday, yesterday, and the previous Friday, February 13th, the survey data from the survey company, including the filming rate and attendance rate in various places, all reflected that the first week of "My Sassy Girlfriend" You can definitely get a pretty good score.
However, when things come to an end, even if he, even if he has had countless times of success, even if he knows the quality of this movie in his heart, he is also very clear about its popularity in another time and space, but, For the past few days, he still couldn't help but worry.
Even when I was recording Liao Liao in recent days, I often lost my mind.
Maybe... because the box office in the first week is really too important!
…………
When Li Qian got up, the sound of walking around the room and opening the door had already woken up the nanny. When Li Qian went back after exercising, Zhou Mo hadn't woken up yet, but the nanny had already prepared breakfast.
Li Qian took a shower, ate something briefly, and gave a few instructions to Zhou Mo when he woke up later, then went out and drove to the company.
When he rushed downstairs to the company, it was not even seven o'clock!
However, when the elevator came to the eighth floor and Li Qian got out of the elevator, he was shocked to find that several main lights in the office area on the eighth floor were turned on!
Of course the office area was empty.
The security guard was still dozing off, but when he heard the movement, he looked up, but saw Li Qian, and quickly stood up to say hello, "Mr. Li, good morning!"
Li Qian was a little stunned at this moment, and nodded, "Good morning!...Who's here?"
The security guard said: "Boss Qi!"
After a pause, he said again: "It will be just after six o'clock!"
Li Qian nodded, and pursed his lips slightly as he stepped into the door.
…………
"I couldn't fall asleep, so I just got up. Anyway, I have nothing to do, so I came to the company to deal with some things that I didn't finish yesterday." Qi Jie helped Li Qian bring a cup of coffee, and then sat down beside him, and asked with a smile : "Why did you come so early? You can't sleep either?"
Li Qian smiled and shrugged, "I'm... not bad!"
Yes, it can only be considered okay.
From a layman's point of view, as a director, you can manipulate a group of big stars at will, and as a star, you will be stunned wherever you go, but you don't know that the higher you go, the more power and glory you enjoy, and you have to bear the corresponding huge burden. Pressure - this kind of pressure can even crush a very strong person in many cases!
Therefore, a person who usually treats people with gentleness and refinement is likely to be extremely irritable on the set!
So, a certain unanimously tough guy on screen might cry at some point!
Therefore, a big star who will take the trouble to sign autographs and take pictures with them with a smile in front of fans and movie fans may at certain moments yell at the staff around him, without grace at all!
It is not hypocrisy and performance in public, nor is it violent temper in private. In fact, most of the time, it is probably just because of too much pressure!
So big that people can't control themselves!
"My Sassy Girl" is undoubtedly an excellent commercial film, whether it is the version in another time and space or the current version directed by Li Qian, there is no doubt about it.
However, time and space are different, people's sentiments are different, concepts are different, trends are also different, and even the movies themselves are already different.
Li Qian was sure, but also not sure.
Especially at times like this, when he can only wait patiently for the results, or even wait for the market to give him a judgment, he will be anxious.
But fortunately, the closer to this moment, he gradually calmed down.
But Qi Jie seemed to be under so much pressure that it was difficult to control the situation.
This week's hustle and bustle, this week's restless sleep and food, made her look a little thin, her complexion was not very good, and there were faint dark circles under her eyes.
However, at this time, any comfort is useless.
Li Qian knew very well that whether it was him or Qi Jie, all he needed was the report card.
When the report card came out, whether it was good or bad, this anxious mentality would be relieved soon.
So, he sat there, lit a cigar, smoked it slowly, raised his cup from time to time to sip a sip of bitter coffee, occasionally raised his head, and saw Qi Jie sitting behind his desk trying to deal with things calmly, But at this time, he didn't give her any comfort.
They just waited patiently.
Of course, in such an early morning, there are still many people who have trouble sleeping and eating, and almost everyone gets up early in the morning at the same time, absent-mindedly doing the things that they usually do every day.
Get up, wash up, get dressed, smoke, etc.
Then, wait patiently or anxiously for a certain result.
I have vague speculations and feelings in my heart, but I don't know what will happen.
This early morning, in a certain hotel in CD Mansion, Lu Ping looked like this.
In a certain hotel in Yingtianfu, Zheng Yuan was also like this.
The unprecedented explosion of the Valentine's Day schedule, of course, will definitely make every film that catches up with this schedule have a lot of gains, but everyone hopes that they will be the one who gains the most!
It was light.
It was broad daylight.
The streets began to be full of traffic.
The streets began to congest.
It's eight o'clock.
It's half past eight.
It's nine o'clock.
People started coming to the company.
The voices of greeting came one after another.
Lu Min arrived at 8:40, knocked on the door and went in, and saw two big bosses sitting silently in the room.
Mr. Qi was approving documents, but he didn't turn over a single article for a long time, which was very different from the usual ten lines at a glance.
Mr. Li was smoking a cigar, and there was a lot of smoke in the room, but in the ashtray, there was still a cigar that had already been smoked - the one in his hand was actually the second one he smoked!
Lu Min didn't dare to say a word. After saying hello, he silently opened the window to let out the smoke, helped Qi Jie tidy up the desk, changed Li Qian's cup of coffee, and then silently backed out .
After nine o'clock, Li Qian couldn't sit still anymore, and said "I'll go to my room to write some manuscripts!", then threw away his half-smoked cigar, got up and left the room.
When the door was closed, Qi Jie breathed a sigh of relief.
Finally... at 9:41, the Propaganda Department called immediately, and the official website of the National Film Industry Association, prior to today's newspaper, gave the box office data of the previous week!
Qi Jie quickly opened the website, and immediately clicked on the bright red title on the first column of the website, "February 9-February 15 Movie Box Office Rankings"!
At the first glance, she froze for a moment, and then she was quickly relieved!
Then, a strange brilliance suddenly appeared on her face!
She looked, looked, looked!
For three full minutes, it seemed that even the eyeballs did not move at all, and the eyelashes did not blink. They just stared at the first line of data, looking and looking again and again!
Lu Min knocked on the door and came in.
But it turned out that the Propaganda Department had already downloaded the data and printed it out.
After being reminded by the knock on the door, Qi Jie seemed to come back to his senses all of a sudden, and quickly glanced down on the computer screen, then got up and took the printed leaderboard, walked out, and casually ordered: : "Print one more copy and paste it in the office area! Also, call President Jin, Manager Han, Director Lu, and Zhou Zhiyu and He Yingyu!"
While speaking, she herself kept on stepping, and quickly left the room.
Behind her, Lu Min excitedly agreed, and as soon as she left, he went back to his desk and picked up the phone!
At this time, Qi Jie had already walked to the door of Li Qian's art director's office in two or three steps, without knocking on the door, just pushed the door and entered, "The list is out!"
Li Qian, who was standing in a daze in front of the window with his back to the door, suddenly turned around!
"How about it?"
Qi Jie smiled, raised the document in her hand, and said with a smile, "Are you sure you don't want to read it yourself?"
…………
In Xi'an Mansion, led by Han Shunzhang, in addition to Zhou Zhiyu and He Yingyu, the two protagonists, the brokerage department, publicity department and distribution department also sent people to go out to promote the team, waiting in the building of SHANXI Satellite TV—— Everyone also woke up very early, even He Yingyu, who usually likes to sleep late, got up before seven o'clock without waiting for someone to call today.
At this moment, everyone is absent-minded.
Then, Han Shunzhang's cell phone rang suddenly.
He quickly took out his mobile phone to take a look, raised his head, met everyone's attention, and said, "It's the call from President Qi's office, probably Lu Min!"
Before anyone else could speak, He Yingyu lifted her spirits and said, "Quickly answer!"
…………
Shuntian Mansion, Minghu Culture Company, eighth floor.
Li Qian took the document, but before he had time to read it, there was a burst of cheers outside!
"Long live the boss!"
Li Qian was taken aback when he heard that, Qi Jie looked at him with a smile, and said, "Look! See what I am doing, look at the leaderboard!"
Li Qian swallowed, and lowered his head.
The leaderboard table is printed out horizontally on a piece of A4 paper.
first row--

Director: Li Qian
Starring: Zhou Zhiyu, He Yingyu, etc.
Release date: 2001.02.10
Number of days in theaters: 6
Box office this week: 48.16 million
Box Office Rank: 1
Li Qian froze there for a moment.
…………
When the phone was connected, Han Shunzhang just said "Hello", and then he was completely stunned.
The mouth is slightly open, and the eyes are extremely empty!
He is usually serious and not the kind of person who can laugh and laugh with others, so at this moment, even He Yingyu, who is the most naughty and carefree, dare not go over and listen.
After the call was over, the phone left their ears, and everyone heard two consecutive "beeps", indicating that the other side had actively hung up the phone.
Lu Lingxi asked him: "Is it the box office? How much? How many places?...Speak up!"
Han Shunzhang came back to his senses, but still looked a little dull, with an expression and tone that he couldn't even believe, he said doubtfully, "Number one? More than 48 million?"
"ah?"
Lu Lingxi was shocked when he heard this!
It’s hard to say anything else, and it’s not easy to compare examples with too long a time, but at least Lu Lingxi has learned about the box office data of several recent movies, and can recite almost all of them!
Just less than two months ago, on December 23, Zhao Meicheng's New Year's blockbuster "Let's Talk about a Big Business" was officially released. In the film market at that time, all films had to make way for his film. Lines and cinemas, take out as many canvases as possible, and give him the largest projection hall! As a result, his opening canvas is as high as more than 2,600 pieces, and the filming rate is unmatched!
And his box office in the first week was 42.74 million!
In contrast to "My Sassy Girl", the opening canvas was only a little over 1,000 yuan, and it is said that the attendance rate in the past few days was average, at least not too high, although after repeated adjustments, the canvas increased to more than 1,700 yuan Yes, the filming rate has also increased. It is said that the attendance rate for the two days on weekends is quite good, but...
Forty-eight million!
Even though Lu Lingxi is the assistant director of this movie, even though she is more than anyone else looking forward to the high box office of this movie, but at this moment, hearing this data, she still can't help but subconsciously shout in her heart Out of a sentence: "How is it possible!"
Previously, she was bored while waiting for the show. Together with Han Shunzhang, she had repeatedly deduced the box office. According to the approximate data such as the canvas and the number of shows, the two of them probably estimated that "My Sassy Girl" would probably have a three-day weekend. 20 million to 25 million box office.
Later, when they received the survey data from the company and learned that the attendance rate was abnormally high, they excitedly adjusted the data forecast to 25 million to 30 million!
In other words, with the box office of more than 5.4 million in the first three working days of this week, "My Sassy Girl" broke through 30 million at the box office in the first week, which is not a big problem!
And their heart's expectation for the first week of the movie's box office is that they hope to exceed 35 million!
At that time, even if it is a fight with "Escape Hero"!
But... more than 48 million!
The two looked at each other, and a look of disbelief flashed in each other's eyes.
However, at this time, Zhou Zhiyu, He Yingyu, and several other staff members in the company didn't care about being on the TV station, and they were already cheering in surprise!
Especially He Yingyu, jumping up and down like a crazy girl!
"Number one! Number one, we are number one!"
Lu Lingxi showed a little smile on his face, but quickly turned his head to look at Han Shunzhang, "This data should not be wrong, right?"
Han Shunzhang was a little dazed, "Lu Min said he watched it from the official website of the Film Industry Association!"
Lu Lingxi nodded, as if she was thinking about something, but in fact, her mind was completely blank at this moment!
A moment later, it seemed that a stone had been thrown into the calm lake, and a smile appeared on her face, starting from the corners of her eyes and brows, and then the smile expanded rapidly.
"Are we number one? 48 million?" She smiled, but suppressed, and asked Han Shunzhang.
Han Shunzhang nodded, and seemed to be coming back to his senses—the official data is such a big thing, how could they make mistakes on such a thing!
"It's 48 million! We are number one! First week box office, number one!"
Lu Lingxi took a deep breath and let it out slowly!
Then, she clenched her fists hard, "Yeah!"
And at this moment, the smile on Han Shunzhang's face suddenly burst out like a river breaking its embankment - his face suddenly became red after drinking, and the veins on his forehead were faintly protruding.
"Yeah! Ah!"
He couldn't help growling, and couldn't help shouting!
But at this moment, all the staff of SHANXI Satellite TV who heard the movement looked over curiously, their faces full of surprise!
But at this moment, even if he is as calm as Han Shunzhang and as graceful as Lu Lingxi, he can no longer restrain his inner ecstasy!
They clenched their fists, they yelled, they jumped and jumped!
Forty-eight million!
That's 48 million!
…………
At this moment, at this moment.
In Minghu Culture, the cheers, whistles, and yelling from the office area outside have completely filled the eighth floor headquarters of Minghu Culture!
And in Li Qian's office, it was almost exactly the same as Qi Jie just now, Li Qian was also staring at the first line of data that belonged to him stupidly, with his eyes fixed, looking again and again!
At this moment, let alone pay attention to the stats of the second place, he didn't even bother to take a look at who the second place was!
Because... that's 48 million!
He raised his head and looked away from the report, as if he wanted to ask something.
And just at this time, Lu Min knocked on the door, and opened the door without waiting for a response from inside, with a red face full of excitement, as if his voice was a few degrees higher, but excitedly said: "Mr. Li, Mr. Qi, I have already called to confirm, and the Film Industry Association said that this data is correct!"
Li Qian was stunned for a moment, then finally he smiled slowly.
At this moment, his smile was as innocent as a child's!
***
A chapter of more than 6,000 characters! It's two in one! One chapter of the debt has been paid off, and there is one chapter left to owe the debt, and one more chapter with the leader!
Then, I promoted a book called "Black Card". During the annual meeting, I discussed it with many great gods. Everyone agreed that this is the hottest and best-looking new book recently, so I recommend it to everyone.
Attach a brief introduction:
A mysterious black card, with different amount issued every week, Shi Lei must spend all the amount within a week, otherwise, he will be punished by the black card.
"Spending money is really hard work" - Shi Lei said.
"Set a small goal first, for example, spend 100 million yuan first..." - Shi Lei said confidently.
"What I regret the most in my life is that I have money that I can't spend, and I can't do without spending it" - Shi Lei finally said.
