Chapter 286 The Movie Is Released
June [-]th.

Early in the morning, Zhang Qing received a call from Qi Juan: "Hey, are you nervous?"

Zhang Qing laughed and said, "Why am I nervous?"

Qi Juan smiled and said, "Where do you think I am now?"

Zhang Qing guessed: "Movie theater?"

Qi Juan giggled and said, "Smart! Then guess again, who did I invite to see the movie?"

Zhang Qing panicked: "Don't be a man."

"Zhang Qing! You are the man!"

A voice came, and Zhang Qing laughed and said, "Liu Shanshan? Why did you run away?"

Liu Shanshan snorted, "Isn't it because of someone's movie?"

Zhang Qing hurriedly said: "Thank you, thank you! Hey, isn't there a movie theater in Jiangjing City?"

Liu Shanshan was furious: "Do you care about me? As a countryman, I just want to come to Shanghai to watch movies? Okay, I just bought a house in Shanghai, and I have learned the essence of Shanghai. Do you look down on country people?"

Zhang Qing laughed loudly and said, "It's absolutely nothing! I really thank my old classmates for their support!"

Liu Shanshan was dissatisfied and said: "Students are classmates, and they are still old... just say thank you?"

Zhang Qing said: "What's the matter... Oh, yes, I'll treat you to a movie and let Qi Juan buy tickets later!"

Liu Shanshan was puzzled: "You invited your college classmates to Hong Kong Island to watch the handover, and you didn't invite me? Hey, could it be that you have a guilty conscience?"

Qi Juan's laughter came and said: "Enough, don't betray me!"

Zhang Qing laughed happily and said with a smile: "If you want to go, just tell me. If you don't tell me, how will I know? Send the photo of your ID to Pingjing, and I will ask someone to apply for a pass."

Liu Shanshan laughed and said: "That's about the same... But it's cheaper for you. I have something to do on July [-], so I can't go." After a pause, she asked again: "Is Hai relieved?"

It should be Qi Juan who snatched the phone, and her voice came out: "Today is a good day, don't say a few words." Then "Hello".

Zhang Qing responded with "Yes", and said, "Why did this old-fashioned and warm-hearted heroine suddenly come here?"

Qi Juan giggled and said, "Their family is traveling in Shanghai... let's not talk about it anymore, the ticket check has started, I wish you success!"

Zhang Qing said with a smile: "Okay. After I've been busy for a while, I'll go to Shanghai."

Qi Juan said: "Don't worry, I'm still busy here, and I'll be distracted when you come. Come back later, I'll pack up and run away with you."

Zhang Qing laughed and said, "Okay."

Faintly heard Liu Shanshan spitting "I rely on you"...

……

"Sister Zhao, sit down for a while, I feel dizzy from walking back and forth. There is still a day left, and the ticket will not be counted until after twelve o'clock in the evening. It will be good if the data can be delivered by tomorrow morning."

In the second section of the North Pond, Zhang Qing sat under the grape trellis and read, while Zhao Qiang walked around in circles in the courtyard, maybe [-] times, Zhang Qing couldn't help persuading him.

Zhao Qiang said angrily, "I don't have a city as deep as yours, so I can still sit still at a time like this!"

With outsiders around, she might be better, and she can always maintain her face.

But right now, she is really more nervous than she was on the eve of the college entrance examination results.

Zhang Qing smiled and said: "Look how good the weather is today, there is not a single cloud in the blue sky. Old Pingjing's pigeon whistle is crisp and beautiful, and the hustle and bustle in front of Chengtian Gate not far away can't be blocked... "

Zhao Qiang stepped forward with a smile, kicked him lightly, and said, "What are you talking about?"

Zhang Qing said: "Okay, after worrying about here, you have to worry about the box office on Hong Kong Island. The box office on Hong Kong Island is good, and you still worry about the box office on Nanyang. How can you make a head of this? Sister Zhao, in the future you will be To be in charge of a super giant group of strong women, this characterization still needs to be done, right?"

Zhao Qiang became a little depressed when she heard this, and said, "I've been wanting to talk to you, but I haven't found a chance. Zhang Qing, you'd better find another reliable person to be the general manager. I think... I can't bear it." gone."

Zhang Qing asked in surprise, "What's wrong?"

Zhao Qiang sat down on the railing and said, "What you said just now is actually reasonable. I really can't support such a huge enterprise. It's already so difficult now, let alone in the future?"

Zhang Qing smiled warmly and said: "How can it be so serious? You just care too much. Besides, who hasn't grown up yet? It doesn't matter. People are always progressing through constant self-denial. As long as you persevere and don't give up. When I feel the most painful and suffering, it is also the stage of fastest growth. No one is born with the ability to control such a huge business group."

Zhao Qiang giggled and said, "You are such a big capitalist, you are talking about hype, you just want me to endure the pain and work hard for you!"

Having said that, but the mood is indeed much better.

Zhang Qing shook his head and said, "It's not for me, it's for our cause. Sister Zhao, although Dujuan culture will not be listed, you will have a share in it."

Zhao Qiang smiled and said: "Forget it, the salary you give is so high, if I want shares again, I will be too dissatisfied. Besides, I don't do things for these, don't tempt me." He opened the topic and said: "You are so thoughtful, help me think of an idea, so that I don't get so anxious, can you do it, Qingzi?"

Zhang Qing laughed and said, "It's not easy? Don't you just want to know how the box office is? Let's take a bus and go to the [-] cinemas in Pingjing one by one. Sister Zhao, I have a hunch that this time we The box office may explode like never before. Just prepare yourself for the accolades and troubles that will swarm you.”

While speaking, he stood up.

Zhao Qiang's eyes lit up, and she said with a smile, "Why didn't I expect that, yes, we can go to the cinema to see how the audience is seated. Honor and trouble? I know honor, but what is trouble?"

Zhang Qingdao: "The prosperity of the world is all for profit. The hustle and bustle of the world is for profit. Our box office hit, mainland filmmakers don't think it's our skill, they just think it's taking advantage of the co-production with Hong Kong Island, they There will definitely be a strong demand for the release of qualifications."

Zhao Qiang became nervous all of a sudden, and even forgot what she was worried about just now, and said, "Then what will the higher-ups do?"

Zhang Qing said with a smile: "Don't worry. This involves ideological things, which cannot be shaken by a few filmmakers. At least three to five years will be left for us, which is enough."

Zhao Qiang felt relieved and said, "Is this what Qi Juan's mother said?"

Zhang Qing nodded and smiled, "Yes, Aunt Li reminded me when I went to deliver the tickets last night."

Zhao Qiang sighed and said, "Qi Juan's mother is really worrying about you like her own son."

Zhang Qing said with a smile: "I know. Let's go, go around."

……

Chang'an Street East, Auditorium of History Museum.

This auditorium is a movie theater with more than [-] seats that can play movies.

When Zhang Qing and Zhao Qiang came by car, they saw a long queue outside the gate of the auditorium.

You know, it's past movie time now.

It's too late to buy tickets now...

The two got out of the car and walked to the end of the line. Seeing an old man waving a folding fan and chatting with others, Zhang Qing stepped forward and smiled and said, "Grandpa, please tell me, this movie has already started, and the next one is still away." There are two hours, why start queuing now?"

The old man shook his folding fan, looked sideways at Zhang Qing, hummed twice, and said, "You're not from Pingjing, are you?"

Zhang Qing shook his head and said, "No, I'm going to university in Pingjing."

The old man glanced at the car parked on the side of the road, and Zhao Qiang who was beside Zhang Qing, smiled meaningfully, and said, "It's good to go to university, hey, this world is not ours, it's yours. "

An old woman in front turned her head and scolded, "What are you doing so stupidly, old man?"

Zhang Qing greeted: "Hello, aunt."

The old lady was kind, and said with a smile: "The old Pingjing Cinema doesn't always come to movies according to the number of shows. As long as there are vacant seats inside, people outside can go in."

Zhang Qing asked in surprise, "What about the part that I didn't see before?"

The old lady smiled and said: "Then watch the next show and make up for what you didn't see. But if someone who bought tickets for the next show comes in, you can only watch it standing. It's okay to stand and watch, just sit It’s been so long, just stand and stand.”

Zhang Qing laughed twice, and said, "So that's the case... Are there any empty seats there?"

The old lady said angrily: "You child, are you stupid in going to school? If there are empty seats inside, can we wait in line for half an hour without taking a step forward? It's also strange. Last year's foreigner's movie, watching it Some people came out and said it was not good, so people from outside could go in. Why has it been half an hour and no one has come out?"

Zhang Qing and Zhao Qiang looked at each other, thanked each other, got into the car and left.

Seeing the ostentation of the two, the old lady turned her head and said to the old man, "Oh, my eyesight is clumsy, and you are still two real dragons and phoenixes."

The old man said angrily: "Hey! You are not blind, you are blind. Didn't you hear that even Lao Ping Jing is not, where are the real dragons and phoenixes? At most two old ravens! Let me tell you, I was young. See you later, that is the real dragon and phoenix, the serious empress dowager..."

"Stop embarrassing your mother! Don't be afraid to drag her and shoot her..."

……

After leaving the auditorium of the History Museum, the two went to eleven Dongcheng movie theaters, including Labor Theatre, Children’s Theater, and Jixiang Theater. Basically, they were not much different from the auditorium of the History Museum, and most of them had long queues outside the theaters.

Sitting in the car, Zhao Qiang was puzzled and said, "The movie hasn't been released yet, so I don't know if it's good or bad. Why do so many people want to watch it?"

Zhang Qing smiled and said: "This is the power of propaganda, and, to be honest, Hong Kong Island movies are well-known, but most people can only watch them in the video hall, but ordinary people, few are willing to go to the dark room In addition, we set the tone so high, it was a gift for the return of Hong Kong Island, and it was screened simultaneously across Asia. Hundreds of millions of overseas Chinese watched it together, and the people all had simple patriotic feelings in their hearts, which created such an effect. Sister Zhao, tell me, in the future, will others call me a despicable person who takes advantage of the patriotism of the people for profit?"

Zhao Qiang became unhappy all of a sudden, and said: "How can you say that? If you only want to make money and enjoy yourself, the layout of Nanyang alone will last you ten lifetimes. Why do you do these things here? You are to promote China. Culture, resist the invasion of Hollywood! The higher-ups know this, so they will support you so strongly. Don’t think wrongly yourself, and ask for trouble!”

Zhang Qing laughed and said: "Of course I don't want to be wrong... Forget it, you are right, why bother? Let's go to the XC area to have a look. If there is still a long line like this, sister Zhao, our box office Probably beyond imagination!"
