Chapter 950 Don't Want to Sleep

Li Qian couldn't help laughing when he heard the words, "My sister, what did you study in the drama school back then? You didn't even know that North American theaters had advance screenings? On the contrary, in our country, there has never been an advance screening before. Our "Calabash Baby" is considered to be the first movie in China that has an advance screening. Since there are no real actors and we are not planning to hold a premiere, we discussed with the theater chain and set an advance screening."

Cheng Suping was surprised when she heard the words, but she quickly recalled that when she was in the acting department of the Drama Academy, she had indeed heard the word "early show"? So when I called, the assistant said that "Calabash Baby" had an early stage, and I immediately understood what it meant.

But why didn't I recall it in the first place?

All of a sudden, Cheng Suping felt that he had become a lot stupid now!

These things should not have been done!

I have never been a person who forgets things!

But it's not important, it's just a thought that flashed in my mind, on the contrary, it's another thing, which is a bit important - she pushed him lightly, the blushing color on her face, I don't know it was the passion just now He hasn't completely retreated yet, but the shame in his mind is still at work at this moment.

She said, "Hearing you call me sister, I suddenly feel so shy!"

After a pause, she said, "Don't call me elder sister anymore, call me senior sister! Otherwise, I will feel so awkward, as if... as if..."

Li Qian laughed suddenly, tightened his arms, and said with a smile, "What does it look like?"

Cheng Suping raised his arm, thumped him lightly, and stopped talking.

Then she thought about it, and she simply said generously: "Then you call, anyway, I have done everything, so I am not afraid. When my father asks, I will say that you are shamelessly pestering me."

For questions of this level, Li Qian has long been dead pigs and is not afraid of boiling water, so he said at that time: "Then you just say that, the big deal is that the old man will drive me out of the teacher!"

Rubbing her smooth upper arm with his palm a few times, he said, "It's worth it!"

So Cheng Suping hit him again.

"Dare to abandon the teacher's school for the sake of a woman, look at your prospects! No wonder the outside world spreads such a bad word about you! You are a grown-up, and you are not a brat, so you are not ashamed to lose face!"

Li Qian smiled, turned his head, and looked at her with narrow eyes, "Sister, I'm only twenty-five years old!"

Cheng Suping froze for a moment, then laughed.

She gouged him out a little shyly, but this time, she didn't hit him.

After thinking about it, she smiled, but said seriously: "I often forget your age, I always feel like I've known you for twenty or thirty years, when I'm with you, even if I don't do anything, it's the opposite Sitting, drinking tea, chatting, occasionally I stretch out my feet to tease you, I think it is very interesting. But in fact, you are really a little kid, you are not thirty years old at all!"

Speaking of this, she had a look of innocence and fun that only teenage girls have on her face, she smiled so purely, and asked, "Tell me, where are the other years we have known each other?"

Li Qian smiled and reached out to touch her face, "Maybe it was in the previous life!"

Cheng Suping laughed.

Then, she lay back contentedly, staring at the ceiling with wide-eyed eyes.

The room suddenly fell silent.

The north wind blows outside the window, whistling, with a whistle, it makes people feel cold.

In the room, two people breathed gently.

It was warm in the room with a good heater.

The bodies of both of them are very hot, and the heat brought by the intense exercise just now has not completely dissipated.

Suddenly, Cheng Suping said: "I really wanted to talk just now, I especially wanted to talk to you, but now, I don't want to talk anymore, but I really want to hear you talk."

Speaking of this, she paused for a moment, and then said: "I really want to hear you talk, you can tell me anything, anything."

Xie Bing seems to be doing the same.

Every time she finished her work, she was lazy and didn't want to move, but she would say: "You can tell me something, anything, I just want to hear you talk."

The personalities of the two of them seem to be somewhat different from each other, completely different.

Xie Bing is a little sweet girl, like a little warm baby, but Cheng Suping is always so calm, generous, and comfortable-their requirements at this time are exactly the same!

Li Qian thought for a while and asked, "I asked about your flight time. At that time, I thought you would go to the United States to see the early screening of "Calabash Baby" for me. Why didn't you go?"

Cheng Suping smiled and covered her face, "I really thought that only in China would there be early shows!"

Li Qian also smiled, "Yes, I forgot."

After a pause, he asked again, "What did you buy when you were shopping in New York?"

Hearing him ask this, Cheng Suping laughed again, a little shy, and said: "I didn't buy anything, I just bought a pair of shoes, a pair of small boots, and a skirt. Wear it for you to see!"

Li Qian nodded and said, "Okay!"

But at this time, Cheng Suping couldn't help laughing, although his body didn't move, it seemed that his whole body was laughing.

Li Qian turned to look at her.

After a while, she couldn't help herself, she turned her head and looked at Li Qian, who was smiling, blushing a little, subconsciously whispered: "I also bought a set of clothes with very little fabric."

Li Qian laughed, changed his voice, and said, "Show me some other day!"

Cheng Suping nodded, but laughed even harder. Then she said: "I haven't bought that kind of thing, you don't know. At that time, I felt that everyone in the mall knew that I was buying that kind of underwear. It seemed that everyone was looking at me, ah...that feeling , It’s really embarrassing!”

"But in fact, I observed secretly, and the salesperson was very calm. When I paid the money and came out with the things, I couldn't help laughing at myself, how old are I, and I don't understand this thing? He opened a shop to sell clothes, how could he laugh at you? But no, I just felt very embarrassed at the time!"

As she talked, Li Qian also laughed.

Yes, sometimes, some people seem to have a thick skin all the time.

Like myself, like Cheng Suping.

Although it has been many years with the big sign of Playboy on his body, even though men, even if they are not hungry at all, they will still feel very greedy when they see those lively beauties, even though in fact, as long as they want to eat, it is really easy You can eat it with strength, but... you can't do it!

I will feel ashamed myself!

I will feel that I am already a scumbag, and I can't get deeper and deeper on the road of scumbags, and I can't continue to be more scumbags!

So, it was such a small thing that both of them laughed for a while.

Just like an old couple, the old man and the old lady went out to buy vegetables. After shopping in the supermarket for a long time, they also chose a large bag of vegetables, but when they went out to check out, they found that they had no money with them. So from then on, whenever they talked about this matter, the two of them would laugh at each other and self-deprecatingly, and the laugh lasted for a long time.

After laughing, the two of them stopped talking again.

The wild wind howled outside the window.

Suddenly, at a certain moment, Cheng Suping said: "I asked Xiaoxia to help me book a flight ticket for tomorrow morning at nine o'clock."

Li Qian subconsciously raised his wrist to check the time, and said, "It's almost four o'clock."

Then he turned his head to look at Cheng Suping, and said, "Why don't you sleep for a while?"

Cheng Suping shook her head, "I don't want to sleep."

After a pause, he added, "I still want to hear what you have to say."

So Li Qian smiled and said, "Well, then...by the way, you are shopping in the streets of the United States, no one knows you, right?"

Cheng Suping shook her head, "Not at all, not a single person."

Li Qian smiled and sighed, "I can't help it. It's hard to push Chinese culture to the United States! The reason why we can make such a big show this time is that the whole European, American and Western world is paying attention and discussing it. Mainly because it was fresh, it was the first time, and it was supported by Millie Mayfair, and several major TV stations rushed to report on it, so it seemed to be popular all of a sudden!"

"But in fact, there is no continuity at all!"

"Without continuity, without continuous attention and hot discussion, it is actually just a matter of a short period of time, and it is not popular at all!"

Cheng Suping nodded, "That's the thing."

After a pause, she suddenly asked: "By the way, the box office of "Gourd Baby" should come out, right? How is it?"

Li Qian said: "Before I went to pick you up, I just got the information about the midnight shows in North America. There are more than 2,000 theaters in North America, basically all of which have midnight shows, but the attendance rate is not very satisfactory. There are only 90 theaters in total for the early midnight shows." Multi-million-dollar box office. Still, that's pretty much within my estimates."

After a pause, he explained: "The midnight shows of this kind of animation movies have always had limited attendance. It is the type of family carnival. Few families take their children to watch movies at midnight. What's more, "Gourd Baby" It has always been promoted under the label of 'Oriental Animation'. So theoretically speaking, the box office obtained in advance should be largely attracted by the topics of the previous few days."

"This group of people can be understood as being more interested in oriental culture or art, and it can also be understood as a group of people who are more curious. So in fact, for the entire box office, the box office brought by this group of people is actually It doesn't make much sense and doesn't have much reference value."

Cheng Suping nodded, and asked again: "What about in China?"

Li Qian smiled when he heard the words, and said: "The domestic situation is also expected. I am already very satisfied with more than 17 million yuan on the first day!"

Cheng Suping rolled his eyes, and suddenly said: "So that means, someone is not satisfied?"

Li Qian laughed, turned to look at her, and said, "My sister has always been so powerful, she can hear everything I want to say in a single sentence."

Cheng Suping smiled, but didn't speak, just looked at him.

So Li Qian said: "The animation company has too high expectations for this movie. Others are fine, especially those who have been doing animation. In fact, we all understand that this is the first movie to go into the cinema and follow the movie. The domestically produced animated films that you meet, everyone used to watch cartoons on the TV at home, not to mention us, even the animated films from the United States, in fact, the box office is not very satisfactory."

After a pause, he said with emotion: "The animation film market is basically mature in North America, and it is also very mature in Japan, but in Europe, especially in China, it is still immature and needs to be cultivated slowly."

Having said that, he turned his head, looked at Cheng Suping, and said with a smile: "However, Lao Cao put a lot of effort into this movie. To a certain extent, he is no less than me at all! Not to mention, but he is not satisfied with our pre-estimated domestic box office of 300 million yuan, so he was very disappointed when he saw that the box office on the first day had not exceeded 20 million yuan."

Cheng Suping nodded slowly when he heard the words, and commented: "Master Cao is a serious person in doing things!"

Li Qian nodded.

In fact, it's not just Cao Zhan.

Jin Han, Han Shunzhang, Lu Lingxi, Sun Yuting... the group of talents gathered under Minghu Culture, almost all of them are serious people.

It's just that everyone has different personalities and different emphases, so they express themselves in their own ways.

After a pause, Cheng Suping asked, "Now, can the box office exceed 300 million?"

Li Qian thought for a while, and said: "It's hard to say! After all, it's only the first day, and it's not a holiday. There is no holiday in China for Christmas! We have to wait and see the market performance in the next few days, especially the weekend performance. "

After a pause, he said: "This movie is actually very risky. It is said to be my director's work, but the overlap with my original movie audience group is very small. And domestic parents, will they be willing to spend money?" To be honest, I have no idea about taking my children to the cinema to watch such a cartoon.”

Speaking of this, he showed a smile and said: "Actually, if this kind of cartoon is released a few years later, the effect may be better! But, we can't wait, we can't wait for foreigners to cultivate the market for us, we have to do it ourselves Cultivate the market and pull the audience to our aesthetic taste from the very beginning."

Cheng Suping half understood, "Why is it better a few years later? Even after a few years, isn't it still the same as now? Is it the first domestically produced cartoon?"

Li Qian laughed, blinked his eyes, and said: "But by that time, many of my early fans and movie fans will be married and have children!"

Cheng Suping was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, and then suddenly laughed.

It really is.

The concept of an idol, even if it belongs to the whole people, can only belong to one generation.

Li Qian is enough for everyone to eat, but he is too young after all, and it has only been six or seven or seven or eight years since his debut. Although some of his fans, movie fans, and all his fans are middle-aged, they account for the majority of his fans. The biggest one is definitely the younger generation.

Some of them may be married and have children, but most are not.

But soon, she smiled and comforted Li Qian, "It's okay now, you are handsome, and you are a killer of all ages! Even if the fathers of those children don't like you and have no feelings for you, the mothers of the children They will also take their children to the cinema to support you!"

Li Qian laughed haha.

After laughing, he said, "I hope so! But...it doesn't matter! Because I was prepared to lose money from the beginning of this "Gourd Baby".
