Full-time actor

Chapter 243【70】A sensation in Hong Kong! Sleepless nights!

“Welcome everyone to today’s Thrive Action, co-organized by the Heung Kong Performing Artists Association and Ming Pao!”

"There is also a 1:99 concert with the full support of all Hong Kong singers, and now -"

"Officially begin!"

"Oooo--"

Chen Yu was lying on the bed at the Four Seasons Hotel, watching the TVB live broadcast on the TV in front of him. The contract for ATV's exclusive broadcast of "Conquer" has been signed, and a check of HK$500 million has also been handed over to Chen Yu.

On the TV in front of them, hosts Lin Jiadong and Zhang Daming walked out of the stage.

Both of them were wearing 1:99 cultural shirts, and the audience was particularly enthusiastic.

A stadium that could only accommodate more than 4 people is now said to be filled with more than 6 people, and there are still many spectators who have not squeezed in.

It is conceivable that the recent epidemic has frustrated the current group of young people in Hong Kong.

In the upper left corner of the live TV broadcast, there is an extremely shiny donation hotline.

"Today is the first and largest gathering since the SARS outbreak in Hong Kong in March!"

"Not only that, I also have good news to tell everyone. For our 1:99 concert, even the WHO has revoked the travel warning for Hong Kong!"

"Are we good?"

"Great!"

Cantonese sounds of mountain roars and tsunami broke out, and Chen Yu could already feel that everyone could not restrain their desire to get out of the house.

Now, these people just need a fuse.

This trigger is the current SARS charity concert.

"Actually, in addition to the friends at the scene today, friends at home can also watch our concert through TV, radio, and even the Internet!"

"This time our 1:99 concert will be broadcast live worldwide!"

"Anywhere in the world, you can listen to local Chinese radio stations. Chinese people in Asia, Europe, the United States... all over the world are cheering for us in Xiangjiang!"

“So, everyone please donate enthusiastically!”

"Without further ado, we have invited Brother Cheng Long!"

Swish!

Cheng Long's avatar suddenly appeared on the big screen at the scene.

He couldn't come to the scene, but he still recorded an encouraging VCR, and then Zhou Xingchi... After the two of them, the concert officially started.

The first one to take the stage was Joey Yung...she sang three songs in a row and at the same time appealed for donations from all walks of life.

The donation numbers are scrolling there in real time.

100 million...200 million...and soon 1000 million.

At this time, the appearance of the Four Heavenly Kings can be said to have brought the concert to its climax.

The nearly four-hour concert was anything but boring for Chen Yu; these days, there were no commercials or interruptions, and in addition to the live performances of artists on stage, there were also interesting interactive sessions.

However, the number of donations, four hours later, was still only fixed at 2310 million.

Obviously, the donation of more than 2000 million yuan from ordinary people from all walks of life is already the limit.

Only by attacking the landlords can we have enough food!

All the people in Xiangjiang combined don't have as much money as the top ten families.

Looting them is the way to go.

"Finally, let us give warm applause to the whole planner of this concert - Miss Mei Yanfang!"

After BEYOND's song "Glory Days", the 1:99 concert finally came to an end; Mei Yanfang walked out from behind the stage without makeup, and everyone in the audience sang "Heart of Hong Kong"!

"Heart of Xiangjiang, roots of China, how many years have we been apart!"

"Finally back in your arms!"

"together forever!"

"..."

"Thank you, Sister Mei, thank you!"

Countless people were crying there, obviously they all knew that Mei Yanfang was suffering from a terminal illness.

Mei Yanfang was standing on the stage at this time, and she was also choked up: "Thank you everyone, thank you so much!"

"At this moment we need love, tenacity and determination, courage to fight, and everyone is united. I hope that the audience, colleagues, and people from all walks of life who saw this concert can donate as much as possible, so that we can fight against SARS. We pray for the family members who passed away, so that their families can feel our warmth!"

"Thank you!"

Mei Yanfang bowed with tears in her eyes: "Finally, I want to tell you some good news. All theaters in Hong Kong are now open, and new movies will be released early this morning!"

"I hope everyone can go into the theater to support. The boss of the film studio has said that 5% of the box office will be donated to our SARS fund!"

"Oh oh oh!"

All the audience members were excited by the news, and many artists who didn't know about it also looked at it with some suspicion.

Donating 5% of the box office, this seems to have never been done before.

"Thank you!"

Mei Yanfang bowed again and retreated behind the scenes.

A SARS charity concert that lasted for four and a half hours finally came to an end with a final donation of 4 million!

Of course, this does not include ticket and viewing revenue. In the previous life, this money was not spent until 2005, saving countless families who were separated due to SARS.

"..."

Wu Qida, who sat in front of the TV and watched the entire live broadcast, finally understood why Chen Yu couldn't wait to release it in the early morning when Mei Yanfang finally announced that he would donate the box office.

"Chen Sheng, is this your trump card? Is it this?"

Wu Qida sat up from the bed suddenly, then quickly put on his clothes, dialed Jiang Zhiqiang's number on his mobile phone, and walked towards the door of his house.

"Qida!"

Jiang Zhiqiang, who was about to go to sleep, looked at the incoming call and pressed the answer button. He thought that the other party was reporting to him the box office performance of the Hong Kong premiere of "The Blind Shaft". In fact, Jiang Zhiqiang didn't pay attention to the movie tomorrow morning at all.

Chen Yu was so anxious to release the film that even Jiang Zhiqiang looked down upon him.

"Jiang Sheng, I know why Chen Sheng is so anxious to release it!"

"Oh?"

Jiang Zhiqiang's brows relaxed and he smiled a little: "Tell me about it!" "That's right!"

Wu Qi told Jiang Zhiqiang everything that Mei Yanfang said at the 1:99 concert just now. Of course, Jiang Zhiqiang knows about this concert. The people of Hong Kong have basically received the notice of this concert.

Or inform relatives and friends, or radio notifications, or text messages from friends.

“5% box office donation?”

"..."

Jiang Zhiqiang's expression finally changed when he heard this sentence.

Good boy, this is a great move!

Using charity to boost the movie's box office, and doing such a promotion when the whole of Hong Kong is working hard to resume work?

"How is the passenger flow in the theater now?"

Jiang Zhiqiang asked quickly.

"I'm already rushing to our nearest theater!"

When Wu Qida goes out, he goes to Broadway, which is owned by Anle.

He didn't even drive his own car, but took a taxi directly from the roadside. Soon, he arrived at the store on Cameron Road in Tsim Sha Tsui closest to his home.

The moment he got off the car, Wu Qida was a little shocked.

people!

There are people everywhere in front of you.

Countless young people gathered downstairs in the Cameron Center building, and everyone was waiting for the elevator to open.

Because it was evening, the mall was closed, so you could only enter the theater to watch movies through the elevator.

"Oh my God!"

Wu Qida was a little stupid and took out his mobile phone.

Jiang Zhiqiang has been waiting for this call.

"Jiang...Jiang Sheng, all...all human?"

"They're all here to watch the movie!"

Wu Qida opened his mouth, and Jiang Zhiqiang on the other end of the phone was stunned for a moment, and then smiled a little.

What a boy, you have a way!

"A lot of people are waiting for the elevator!"

Wu Qida's voice was a little dry, and Jiang Zhiqiang said quickly: "I'll call Li Sheng right away and ask them to arrange for someone to open a shopping mall. Maybe it can also increase sales!"

"You also have people contact several other theater chains to ensure the safety of the moviegoers present!"

With that said, Jiang Zhiqiang hurriedly hung up the phone and started to contact the person in charge of the mall; while Wu Qida called the temporary security of the mall to confirm the order of the scene, then picked up the phone and dialed the numbers one by one. go out.

A long line of people watching the movie suddenly formed downstairs of the original building; this scene was so spectacular.

After a while, countless reporters apparently received the news and all rushed over.

They all took photos of this scene.

Throughout Xiangjiang, there were such scenes of queuing in front of countless movie theaters that night.

This night is destined to be sleepless.

Soon, the mall door opened.

Traffic police were dispatched.

All security personnel are also on duty.

Cameron Center is brightly lit.

All shopping malls under Anle's cinema chain are open in the early morning.

"Chen Yu, I finally remember you!"

Jiang Zhiqiang, who had been busy until early in the morning, sat there without any trace of sleepiness on his face, instead he was filled with excitement.

How long!

It had been a long time since Jiang Zhiqiang had felt such excitement.

Just now, Wu Qida had told him about the premiere of "The Blind Shaft".

All theaters owned by Anle have 100% occupancy, and all movie tickets have been sold out; but even so, there are still countless ticket-buying audiences clamoring to buy extra tickets.

In the first round, not enough was sold.

Seeing the situation becoming more and more chaotic, the lobby of the theater was filled with moviegoers.

After Wu Qida discussed with Jiang Zhiqiang, he had no choice but to add an extra show in the early morning.

Yes, there will be an extra show in the early morning.

All theaters under Anle will start the second round of screenings at 1:45 after the first round of premieres.

But even so, it still failed to meet the needs of all ticket buyers present.

Really, too many people came.

In the end, Wu Qida had no choice but to come up with two temporary plans.

1. Anle's theaters provide 24-hour screenings of "The Blind Shaft" today. Audiences who do not get the premiere or second round of tickets can enjoy a 5 yuan viewing discount and popcorn discount.

2. Audiences who come during the day tomorrow will enjoy a HK$10 discount on ticket prices!

……

Finally, the dense crowd slowly began to disperse.

Some people choose to stay and wait, and some people choose to stay and wait during the day tomorrow... But Wu Qida, who originally planned to only audition for one scene, has not scheduled any filming scenes during the day. He is currently working overtime with his subordinates to schedule tomorrow's viewings. Movie screenings.

"Hong Kong's box office record... is about to explode!"

Even in the mainland, Jiang Zhiqiang seemed to be able to feel the madness in Xiangjiang tonight.

That was a group of young people who had been detained for nearly three months.

And Chen Yu's operation will definitely be recorded in the annals of Hong Kong film history.

It was as if Jiang Zhiqiang had met Chen Yu for the first time. He suddenly felt a strong interest in this young man.

He took out his cell phone and dialed Chen Yu's number even though it was already 1 o'clock in the morning.

He was going to have a good chat with the man from the mainland who had single-handedly created tonight's craziness.

This Berlin actor has more than just his acting skills!
