the longest dream

Chapter 292 Ten days, [-] million!

Zhang Qing still miscalculated...

He speculates based on normal rules that the box office will drop on weekdays, but he ignores the enthusiasm of countless people who can't buy tickets to watch movies on weekends due to the shortage of theaters, and would rather take time off on weekdays to watch movies.

What's more, most Chinese people don't actually have a class to attend...

And I didn't expect that a super city like Pingjing, with a permanent population of [-] million people, could erupt what kind of movie-watching wave it would be!

On June [-]th, the box office in Pingjing did not fall but rose, reaching as high as [-] million.

On June [-], [-] million.

On June [-]th, it officially exceeded [-] million, reaching [-] million!
Zhang Qing was stunned, because the theater chain should be fully booked from the first day, and [-] million should be the limit. How could there be more and more, and [-] million came out?
It was only later that I found out that the theaters themselves saw how hot it was, so they simply extended the playing time.

By June [-]th, almost [-]% of the [-] theaters in Pingjing opened all-night movies.

With such a difficult economy today, the life of movie theaters is not easy.

It's rare to meet such a big money-absorbing family, so I just work in three shifts!
This also led to the legendary data that "Huang Feihong" was released for ten days, and the total box office in the mainland broke [-] million! !
This super-phenomenal level of popularity also attracted the attention of the most important newspaper in China, and sent a senior editor to come to Huaqing University for an interview.

"Should you call him classmate Zhang Qing, or should you call him Mr. Zhang?"

"China Daily" junior editor Rui Yuan looked at Zhang Qing and said with a smile.

Zhang Qing smiled and said, "Of course it's classmate Zhang Qing."

Rui Yuan smiled and said, "That's right, if you choose one of the most successful companies in China in 97, including state-owned enterprises, there will be no seventh company whose revenue-to-profit ratio is as amazing as Du Juan."

Zhang Qing still shook his head and said, "Compared to a giant like CITIC, Du Juan can't even count on prawns. Moreover, Du Juan has always made profit as its ultimate goal."

Rui Yuan was surprised and said, "Why is that? If a private company has profit as its ultimate goal, what is it for?"

Zhang Qing said with a smile: "The vision of any small company in the world is definitely just to make money. A company that only wants to make money may become a small company. That's empty talk, you can do it It can be found through a specific investigation, which is a clear thing.”

Ruiyuan nodded and said with a smile: "Thank you for the reminder, you will definitely do that survey later. So, can I ask you, what is your company's vision?"

Zhang Qing laughed and said, "It's very complicated. Make a good Chinese film."

Ruiyuan smiled and said, "That's it?"

Zhang Qing nodded and said, "That's it."

Rui Yuan smiled and said: "It's not a big deal... There is no doubt in the society recently that you are actually a celebrity, and many people know him since he was a junior. But now people will say that he is a junior from Huaqing Elementary School. A talented student should be a pillar of the country. Why did he quit the entertainment industry? The entertainment industry is called the literary circle if it sounds good, but it is ugly when you say it badly. With his talent, he should be engaged in some small businesses that benefit the country and the people Is it for fame and fortune?"

Zhang Qing said seriously: "You have seen a lot and have a lot of knowledge, have you discovered a phenomenon?"

Ruiyuan smiled and said, "What phenomenon?"

Zhang Qingdao: "All over the world, even the people in the country in the north are full of yearning for the United States. The people in our country, especially the intellectuals, are the same. Why is that so?"

Rui Yuan became serious and said, "Because the United States is developed and is the weakest country in the world?"

Tu Shu shook his head and said: "Back then, the military strength of the old brother in the north was once weaker than that of the United States, and the whole of Europe trembled under the threat of the torrent of steel, but no one would praise the old brother. In terms of remuneration, there are people in the world who are comparable to us during this period, especially the remuneration of oil workers. However, many people yearn for it.”

Ruiyuan came to his senses and said, "He wants to say that it's thanks to Hollywood movies?"

Zhang Qing nodded and said: "You think so. You see, since the founding of the United States, the two hundred years of history, when there are wars, add up to only ten or so years.

There is no doubt that we are US imperialists, whose essence is to aggress and plunder.Even Japan, our most loyal lackey, will criticize the United States in private for harvesting our wealth.

However, the United States is still the country where Japan, South Korea, and a small number of people in the world most look forward to immigrating. Why?Compared with welfare, we have also compared to the Nordic countries.

Do you think that it is precisely because of the small Hollywood films that are rampant all over the world that the United States is always portrayed as the savior of the world. We are so glamorous, so benevolent, so rich, so free, so happy, like a paradise on earth, which is the so-called The American dream, so it has no unparalleled appeal.

Those are actually the opinions of quite a few people over there.

We're obsessed with the American dream, and we're waking up.

And it is Hollywood that spreads the American dream to the whole world with fictional and ugly stories.

If you are not moved and let Hollywood small films raging in China's small underground, then even if your eyes are hurt, the previous generation, before the children of the previous generation grow up, we will be naturally pro-American in our hearts.

That's a terrible thing.

So, you guys have to make your own movie. "

Rui Yuan stared at Zhang Qing and said, "So, he makes movies to make money?"

Zhang Qing said with a smile: "If you just want to make money, there is no such thing as a movie business. After making a movie, you already have a small amount of money, which is enough for a family to live a very poor life.

According to some people's thinking, you can immigrate to the United States at any time, go to Hong Kong Island, and enjoy the feasting and feasting of capitalism.

However, there is no old saying in China: everyone is not responsible for the rise and fall of the sky.

You are a student of Huaqing, enjoying the best educational resources in the country, and you should do your part for the insignificant rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. "

Ruiyuan looked at Zhang Qing and said: "You are not shocked, but also very moved. Watching him grow up as a young man with no ideals, no ambitions, and no abilities makes you feel that the future of your country is so full of hope." hope!"

Zhang Qing smiled and said: "Small is necessary. You are just a student from a small Chinese family. Few people think that way because we have not yet reached that point. You doubt that there are very few Classmate, if you don't have the conditions you have today, our choice will be the same. Just like those honest Chinese people who were not even cowardly, they would stand up and fight to the death during the Anti-Japanese War.

That's something you don't have outside your blood.

In addition, you personally also suggest that the industry should be overly publicized. "

Rui Yuan asked curiously, "Then why?"

Tu Shudao: "Because of the generality of the industry. Just look at the film and television industry in other countries. It is no exaggeration to describe it as sensual, drunk, and dreamy. As your economy takes off, your entertainment industry will also take off. Entering that stage is the law of social development and cannot be avoided.

It is rare to be a classmate at a young age, so it is inevitable that you will be tempted.I thought that if I joined that line of work, it would be very difficult to achieve success.

For example, in the United States, in Los Angeles and Santa Monica, there are tens of thousands of young people, all of whom are handsome and beautiful men with outstanding images. None of us have a dream of becoming famous, so we are willing to pay any price.But those few people have no fame, just wasting their time, and the ending is very happy.

Little good young man, what a pity.

If the status of that industry is held too low, the deception will be even weaker.

The real future of the country lies outside the scientific laboratory, in the factory, in the field, in the army, under every hard-working Chinese, the performing arts industry is just one of them.

It's just that the industry looks a little glamorous and attractive, but it definitely means that that industry is more glorious than workers, farmers, soldiers, and thousands of unknown laborers. "

Rui Yuan smiled appreciatively, "He is very calm, more calm than you can imagine."

Zhang Qing smiled modestly: "It's purely because I'm afraid of taking on the responsibility that I have to bear."

"What responsibility?"

"Misunderstanding my son."

Ruiyuan laughed, then turned back and asked, "Has he ever thought that the box office of "Zhang Qingxiao" would be so low?"

Zhang Qing shook his head and said: "I really thought about it. Referring to the abnormal trend of the box office of Hong Kong Island or the United States, the box office is low on weekends, so the box office on weekdays should plummet. It is abnormal to drop to [-]%. Who would have thought , your working day is only falling, but also rising."

Rui Yuan said: "What does he estimate the film's box office will be?"

Zhang Qing shook his head and said: "It's a good guess, but it should be going uphill soon. In fact, yesterday's box office is about to drop by [-] million. That's abnormal."

But I don't have a trump card yet.

Rui Yuan smiled and said, "Will you feel panic when you make so little money at first? After ten years, ten thousand yuan is already a very small honor. His few hundred million..."

Zhang Qing said with a smile: "You have to explain first, the box office does not represent income. Before the box office comes out, [-]% of the film development special fund and [-]% of the business tax must be deducted. Then According to the ratio of [-]% for the theater and [-]% for the film studio. But the film company itself has to pay a corporate comprehensive tax... In short, the first thing that can be obtained is barely [-]%. A small part is all It is handed over to the state. Well, you also hope that it can be published to avoid misunderstandings by the audience."

Rui Yuan smiled and said, "But how much money can you still earn?"

Zhang Qing denied: "Of course."

Ruiyuan smiled and said, "As far as you know, "Zhang Qingxiao" was filmed eight times in a row, so how long will it take for me to see the audience for the other two?"

Zhang Qing said with a smile: "The seventh part will have to wait until the National Day, the first National Day before the handover of Hong Kong Island, which is very meaningless. The eighth part will be released during the New Year, to wish the people of the whole country a New Year."

Ruiyuan said: "Celebrate the New Year with the people of Hong Kong Island?"

Zhang Qing said with a smile: "That's it, all the Chinese in Asia celebrate the New Year together!"

Rui Yuan laughed, raised his little finger and said, "He's such a genius!"

Zhang Qing insisted on the principle: "You are just a student."

Ruiyuan looked at Zhang Qing and said, "Speaking of students... As far as you know, he had a very poor life in middle school, and he had nothing to eat for eight years, right? His parents were also seriously ill. It's hard to get over it. Did that experience have any impact on him? Did he have any complaints in his heart?"

Zhang Qing smiled, and answered after a while of silence: "Who are you going to resent, the national strength is strong, it is an objective fact, and it is caused by historical reasons. You have been exempted from tuition fees since junior high school. In junior high school, You have also paid tuition fees and book fees. It is that kind of policy that gives you the opportunity to complete your studies, and you are only grateful."

……

"Zhang Qing, thank you for the interview, he is very sincere and successful."

Two hours ago, Ruiyuan started the interview and shook hands with Tu Shu.

Tu Shu smiled and said, "Rui, the editor, you should be the one thanking you. Now that there is a lot of turmoil inside, how much criticism can be saved by that interview."

Rui Yuan shook his head and smiled: "He must be prepared for many reasons. Before a person reaches a certain level, he will be famous all over the world, and he will definitely be slandered all over the world. This is the case in ancient and modern times. Alright, what do you want?" I’m going back to catch up on the manuscript, and I’ll try my best to publish it tomorrow, so I’m leaving.”

Before Ruiyuan left, Bai Qi looked at Zhang Qing and said with emotion: "It's no wonder even the "China Daily" was alarmed, his movie box office is really amazing."

Tu Shu scratched his head and smiled, "You also thought about it."

Bai Qidao: "Zhang Qing, Mr. Qiao wants to see him, and he is going to come."

Zhang Qing: "..."

Bai Qi smiled and said: "No pressure, the old man has already retired as a teenager, so treat him as a special old man. In addition, there are many people outside your home who want to see him. Can you do it tomorrow? He will drive to your house tomorrow, and then Let’s go to Longquan Mountain together.”

Zhang Qing scratched his head and said, "Teacher, is it a little convenience?"

Bai Qi patted me on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Don't think too little. His theater plan, praise and rejection are evenly divided. In fact, praise is even less. After all, the cultural front involves ideology... Then The first meeting is also a kind of investigation, and it has little to do with personal matters. That's why I asked him to prepare for it."

Zhang Qing became serious, nodded and said, "You know."

Bai Qi said with a smile: "He has been able to insist on dismissing get out of class recently. The professors outside the school have a very positive view of him, and there are relatively few criticisms."

Zhang Qing smiled and said, "You are a student."

Bai Qi chuckled and said, "What are you going to do last week?"

Zhang Qing felt ashamed: "Going to Hong Kong Island, I originally planned to go there on the [-]st, but now I can do it. Before the news of "Zhang Qingxiao" was a small box office hit in the Mainland, the film and television industry here has already exploded. Several phone calls a day to urge me, and it is indeed a delay. I have to ask for leave..."

Bai Qi laughed and said: "That fake, it's hard for you to be accurate. By the way, the security is well done, and there are so many people staring at him now..."

……

PS: According to history, the release of Small Boat in 98 was probably that fierce.The box office in the mainland is [-] million, which is still a waste of the movie theaters. The global box office is [-] billion US dollars, and there is an enemy.
