Chapter 106

Gu Huai’s filming work lasted for more than two months. After the film passed the review, it was decided that it would be released during summer.

As everyone knew, summer had always been a highly competitive battle field. Everyone knew that the summer traffic was good. Many major productions would choose to release their movies during this period. Considering the number of blockbuster movies released, it would undoubtedly take some courage and confidence for general movies to enter the battle field again.

The number of cinemas was limited. Considering the market situation, cinemas naturally arranged multiple showings of blockbuster movies that could attract audiences. It was very normal for ordinary movies to be squeezed when competition was fierce, and it was difficult to allocate them to prime time.

In addition to the objective conditions of major productions and well-known film franchises, another way to get more showings for films naturally depended on relationships or money, which was one of the default hidden rules in the circle.

Liu Mou, the director of “Seventh Sense”, had been criticized by fans who were enthusiastic about movies, because the other party always produced either very good or very bad movies.

When the film was good, the audience would marvel at the man’s genius, but when it was bad, the audience would hold back 10,000 words in their hearts before leaving the movie theatre, to then directly declare that watching the movie as a waste of time even if they could watch it for free.

The filmmaker hired Liu Mou as the director of “The Seventh Sense” because he took a fancy to the other’s expertise in shooting this type of genre. More than two years ago, he once produced a film of the same genre from the other party. At that time, his reputation was quite good. However, this time, with the idea of ​​fighting hard, the team decided to release the film in the summer after discussion.

If it became popular, it would be a big profit... but, according to a conservative estimation, it would be a big loss if it didn’t.

In view of the criticism of the films made by director Liu Mou in the past two years, the movie had not been very popular since news of its filming was announced, certainly not big enough to squeeze with the large films into the summer archives.

But for Gu Huai, this was the script he chose after much consideration, and he also believed in the director’s ability to make these types of movies.

“Squeak.” A group of black balls had gathered together and were reluctant to stay away from the youth now.

On the day the youth was confirmed to be in the movie, they communicated with major cinemas in advance, to ensure that the distribution on the film release date would not be squeezed off the prime time slots.”

Gu Huai looked at the black balls around him. Although he didn’t count them, he could tell him intuitively that some of the black balls that were usually around him seemed to be missing.

Did they have something to do? As soon as the thought crossed Gu Huai’s mind, in the next second, several black balls came in slowly from the open window.

These black balls crowded around each other. In order not to prevent the things they carried from falling to the ground, these nightmares could only move as slowly as possible.

“Squeak.” Putting the flower down on the youth’s table, the crowd of black balls finally separated. Because they had no hands in their current form, they could only send flowers to their king in this way.

Although there was no basis for it, they just thought that the youth should like flowers. Tomorrow was the release day of the movie the youth acted in. They were ready to contribute to the box office.

Gu Huai was stunned, and then picked up the flower which was brought by the black balls. During this period, Gu Huai could feel a pair of dark red round eyes around him watching his every move seriously.

After seeing the youth carefully slip the flower into the pages of his book, the black balls that were watching the youth squeaked one after the other, obviously displaying their happiness.

For the employees of the enterprises under their name, they had a high degree of liking for the youth who they had never met before. There were two reasons. One was that the Gu family raised the salaries of the employees of each company the day after confirming Gu Huai as their blood relation. The other was that on the day when the film was released, the senior management of the company gave a paid holiday to all their employees and gave them several movie tickets.

They didn’t know what outsiders thought of the family’s acceptance. Anyway, on the staff’s side, they clearly felt the importance the family attached to the returned child. Was it not obvious enough when they raised their wages and gave them movie tickets for the holiday?

The employees who received the tickets certainly knew what to do, which was obviously to go see the movie. After getting extra vacation during the working day, people who had entered the city to work knew how fortunate it was to get a paid holiday and also watch a movie for free. This was really nothing to be picky about.

In the same period of release, compared with the big films with long-standing reputations,

“Seventh Sense” was really inconspicuous among this year’s summer releases.

However, detective films were rare in recent years. Many large budget movies were released just recently, so most of the Gu companies’s employees who had received movie tickets planned to go to the cinemas two or three consecutive times today.

Originally, a group of employees went to see “Seventh Sense” only to please their superiors, and did not really care. It would be considered entertainment on the day of their vacation.

But when they actually arrived at the theater to watch the movie, they found their expectations were very wrong. The movie brought them more fun than other blockbusters.

As a detective film, it was reasonable for the story to be intricate. If the case was too simple for people to see through at a glance, it meant that if the audience couldn’t figure it out, they would open their mouths and say that the screenwriter was insulting their intelligence.

But just having intrigue would only make the audience feel confused. In the course of the plot, the mysteries needed to be analyzed step by step.

The director used the shooting techniques to show the tense scenes in the plot incisively and vividly. The audience, who was absorbed in watching the movie because of the wonderful plot, couldn’t even resist the idea of writing movie reviews. This was the most interesting detective film in recent years.

When seeing the scene of the wall-slam kissing scene, the eyes of the female audience members present couldn’t resist brightening.

The young man who played the leading role was a little popular recently, which made many viewers who didn’t watch TV series aware of him, and the other person’s performance in this movie could be said to be impeccable.

“He is so beautiful... It’s a pity that the kissing scene only has shows his back. The director doesn’t understand people’s minds!” The young girl who took her best friend to watch the movie said this to the people next to her in a low voice, and her eyes lit up slightly.

The youth on the screen was tall and handsome, with a kind of nonchalance on his beautiful face. He still looked like that when visiting a case, and he was usually reserved, as a genius. However, when arguing with the female lead, the casual and aloof mask on the young man’s face was obviously removed, unconsciously showing a kind of intensity.

And when a person who was usually apathetic suddenly showed a serious attitude, this seriousness made it particularly easy to move people’s hearts.

Gu Huai was just sitting next to Yan Lin. Before he slightly smiled, he felt that his hand was gripped by the man on the right. Looking over his side, he saw Yan Lin’s eyelids drooping slightly on his expressionless face, and there was a straight line between his thin lips.

They both knew it was a fake kiss, but he still let Yan Lin do the above actions. The youth didn’t want to quit the entertainment circle. Yan Lin wouldn’t make any excessive demands. Although he still minded the youth shooting this aspect of the plot, he would still provide all the resources for it.

There was darkness in the movie theater. Gu Huai thought about it and pulled down the mask on his face. While the attention of the people around him was on the screen, he touched his lower lip to the white earlobe of the man next to him with a gesture like he was whispering to him.

Although the tip of the ear that was kissed by the youth was not red, the coldness on the man’s face obviously calmed down. His eyes narrowed slightly like a large cat that was easily pacified.

It had to be said that the TV series “Thousand Words” and the subsequent family events really attracted a lot of fans for the youth. Today, the fans who came to the cinema to watch “Seventh Sense” could be said to account for a large proportion.

Chen Guan, who played the heroine, as a small flower in the circle, was also a person who could bring some traffic. If the number of fans of the two added up, if the viewing rate on the first day of the movie’s release was still passable, the box office of the first day would not be ugly in theory.

The above was one of the forecasts made by a group of film enthusiasts for the summer movie market before the summer movie came out, but when they checked the real-time box office today, most people obviously felt stupid.

This detective film, which they only thought could barely survive in the cracks, had a lower showing rate than other big films, yet its comprehensive box office was steadily in third place??

You should know that there were as many as five commercial blockbusters with the same theme this summer. The competition was more exaggerated than in the past few years. Getting third place in the box office on the first day with such a film market was something that ordinary movies could not think of.

Looking at the attendance rate again, everyone understood the reason, but the jaws that fell to the ground in shock still couldn’t be retrieved.

The attendance rate was a bit scary...

Most people could understand the high attendance on the first day of the film release. After all, many films had fan effects, and the films that could earn tens of millions of box office or even hundreds of millions of box office just by pre-sale tickets were not few.

But the fans effect of “Seventh Sense” was obviously limited, and 87% of the real-time box office attendance was really amazing.

If you wanted to ask whether there was any exaggeration in this data, the answer was yes, of course there was.

“Squeak!” The group of black coal balls accompanied the youth to the cinema to watch the movie seemed to be quite excited, with round eyes staring at the big screen in front of the cinema. If they were now in human form, they would have already waved their fluorescent glow sticks.

As the true love fans of their king, no matter what and how the youth performed, this group of black balls would feel good.

Gu and Yan contributed a lot to the first day’s attendance of the seventh sense movie. They filled in or contracted a few people’s watching sessions, which directly increased the attendance.

High attendance often meant that more showings could be arranged in the theater, so by the next day, people who paid attention to the situation could see that the showings of “Seventh Sense” had increased significantly, and even snatched several golden time spots.

Radish Rabbit: “The foreshadowing in the early stage was quick, but the plot in the later stage, one word, exciting! But in such a tense plot, I was even able to be touched by a wall kiss, which aroused the heart of a young girl in me [laughing and crying]”

The sky is blue every day: “Weibo gave the front page, this movie really pushed forward. Friends who like to watch brain-twisting plots should not miss it, and friends who like to watch beauty should not miss it too! Note, the beauty is male, my family’s Ah Huai [[doge]] “

Lemonade Grass: “Predicted the movie “Seventh Sense” will be a dark horse of summer movies. Now all major movie reviewing networks give scores of more than 9 points, so the probability of prediction coming true is still quite high.”

In addition to the help of the first day, a large number of passers-by joined the battlefield on the second day. The Gu and Yan Family basically didn’t need to do anything else. This momentum was enough.

The movie exploded. Just watching the box office soar the next day, most people realized this intuitively, not to mention that the Internet was now full of reviews, Weibo posts, discussion posts and so on.

In the same way, it also made the two leading actors in the movie both popular and directly put their value on the front line.

The so-called overnight fame was huge to this extent.

“68%.” Asked by the youth how much the clearance value was, the system replied calmly.

There was no doubt that the fame of the youth was almost proportional to the clearance value. But to complete the mission, it was obviously not enough to only accumulate fame. He at least needed to win a large number of awards and establish his position in the entertainment circle.

Gu Huai’s current value was not the same as before the movie was released. Even his Weibo had become verified with tens of millions of fans, which showed the rising span of fame.

His recent brief break was not announced, and his half-month break was not over. He lived in the Yan’s residence, and Gu Huai was originally planning a quiet vacation, but when he woke up, he found that the person sleeping next to him had disappeared. He looked around, and the answers he received also made him wonder.

“Yes, it’s July again.” Asked by the youth if he saw Yan Lin, Ao Qi shook his head and suddenly thought of the current month. Then he replied: “Every other year or two years, in July, the eldest brother often disappears for a few days and will come back in three or four days.”

This was not the first time. In Ao Qi’s memory, the other had been like this for thousands of years since he followed Yan Lin.

It was not that no one asked the reason, but their eldest brother was expressionless and didn’t answer. And every time they saw him disappear for a few days, it was all normal. Over time, they became used to it.

“But...” Ao Qi glanced at the youth in front of him, raised his hand and scratched his head, wondering, “the eldest brother didn’t tell you where he went?”

There was no doubt that the head boss of his family liked this beautiful little fish very much. Ao Qi didn’t expect that his boss would even hide from him.

Gu Huai nodded his head and thought for a while. He consciously asked his system, “Under what circumstances would you hide something from me?”

System:”......”

As the same existence, the system could really grasp Yan Lin’s psychology, because their way of thinking was basically the same. “Don’t dare to face you when doing something wrong, or don’t want to let you know something.”

It was impossible to do something wrong. Gu Huai thought about how his family’s Chu Chu had been doing well recently. Then there was only the latter, but what did the other not want him to know?

He couldn’t think of anything, Gu Huai thought of waiting for him to come back to ask, since he always answered.

After basically making this decision in his mind, Gu Huai suddenly recalled something he had wanted to ask before. It happened that Ao Qi of the same dragon race was here. Gu Huai asked eagerly, “Is there any way to repair a crack on a Dragon’s horn? If you need to find something valuable, please make a list for me first. “

There is a crack that was not very pleasant to look at. Although the crack was not very visible on the back of his horn, Gu Huai still thought it was good to repair it.

“Ah?” Aoqi was stunned by the question, his expression fully expressing his doubts.

Horns that had cracks that needed to be repaired? How could it be?

Although he was puzzled by the youth’s question, Ao Qi gave an answer according to what he knew: “The Horn is the most indestructible part of our dragon body, and bearing the capacity for cultivation, cracks are impossible. If there is, it is estimated that it will hurt more than ten times as much as pulling out the scales directly. How could someone endure until the repair is completed? “

Gu Huai: “...”

He was caught off guard by the answer he heard. Gu Huai froze in place.
