Rebirth 96: Begin the life of a monster from kindergarten

On July 7, after finishing some work for the "Zhu Xian" crew, Zhang and his party went to Beijing again.

"Old Boy" is about to be released, and "Charlotte's Troubles" will be released soon after.

Although the final box office of "Old Boy" will have to wait a few days after it is released to be counted, based on the current domestic box office performance of over 500 million yuan, Xiao Yang, as a director, has stolen the limelight and can be said to have become a god in one battle.

Now, his work focus has shifted to his second film, "A True Detective". In order to avoid content risks, he has planned to move the crew to Southeast Asian countries, and the film's target is also completely overseas.

The movie "Old Boy" supported his ambition, and with the support of Dream Entertainment behind him, he could move forward boldly.

Apart from the script, Dream Entertainment basically did not interfere with his creation, which made Xiao Yang very grateful. After all, as a director, he could create better only if he had the right to speak, instead of being disturbed by the sudden whims of investors.

Compared to Xiao Yang's ambition at this time, Shen Teng Mali was a little nervous.

Some time ago, the Happy Twist team was doing pre-screening promotions in almost every city. Wherever they went, everyone would take a look at the attendance rate of "Old Boy" in the cinema, and almost every time they left with envy on their faces.

Even now, when we returned to Beijing to prepare for the premiere of "Charlotte's Troubles", everyone has not recovered from the shock of "Old Boy".

"When I think about it now, I'm sweating all over! Fortunately, the release dates of "Charlotte" and "Old Boy" were staggered. Otherwise, with the popularity of "Old Boy", it would have sucked up all the box office revenue of "Charlotte"!"

Listening to Shen Teng chanting here, everyone else also felt a sense of empathy.

Indeed, "Old Boy" is too strong. It was originally a movie directed by a new director and starring new actors. Although it was supported by the script of Dream Entertainment, everyone guessed that its box office would not be bad, but no one expected it to be this good.

But on the other hand, the number of large screens in China has doubled in the past two years. Especially after Zhang Yihang discussed the domestic film market with Han Shanping and Wang Jianlin, film and television groups led by China Film and Wanda have increased their investment in cinema construction in the past two years. When other cinema companies saw that China Film did so, they followed suit, which boosted the domestic film market capacity in advance.

Zhang Yixing saw this, so he was full of confidence in the box office forecast for "Charlotte's Troubles".

Zhang Yixing said to everyone, "You don't have to underestimate yourselves. I believe that the box office of "Charlotte's Troubles" will not be bad. There are almost no other competitors in the second half of the summer vacation. With your strength, you should have confidence in yourselves!"

Ma Li sighed, "But we are all new to the film industry. This is our first film, so we really have no idea what to do!"

Yin Zheng also echoed, "That's right, Mr. Zhang, if you had watched the sample film at the beginning, it would have been better for us to check it!"

"Chen Fei and the others have already seen it. Since they gave a high evaluation of the movie, it must be of high quality. Don't worry!"

Looking at the solemn faces of everyone in the room, Zhang and his group knew that they were indeed too nervous. After all, this was the first movie that Happy Twist had performed as a group, and it could be said that it was related to the fate of the entire troupe. Once the movie failed, the team's reputation would also be damaged.

At this time, Ma Li said again: "Teacher Zhang, there is a horse-riding dance in Old Boy, but there is no such thing in Charlotte. When the movie is released, you must promote and support us. You can't be partial to one over the other!"

"Yes, Teacher Zhang!"

"These are all your movies, we need promotion too!"

Listening to everyone talking at once, Zhang Yixing waved his hand for everyone to be quiet, "Don't worry, we will definitely do our best to promote it. You see, I have come to Beijing specifically, isn't it just to support "Charlotte's Troubles"? " After a brief rehearsal for the premiere, Zhang Yixing said goodbye to the Happy Twist team and took a bus back to his residence in Beijing.

On the way, Chen Ruyi said to Zhang Yixing, "Boss, someone who calls himself Lei Jun called and wants to talk to you about the endorsement?"

Zhang Yixing was stunned. "Who are you talking about?"

Seeing Zhang Yihang's big reaction, Chen Ruyi was shocked and quickly explained: "Lei Jun, the former CEO of Kingsoft Software, but he said that he seemed to want to connect with you for a mobile phone endorsement?"

Xiaomi phone?

Hasn’t it been established yet?
I don’t even have a mobile phone yet, what’s the point of this endorsement?

“Did he elaborate on the endorsement?”

"No, he wants to meet you and talk!"

With a series of question marks, Zhang Yihang said to Chen Ruyi: "Please reply to Lei Jun. Let's see if we can meet and chat in the next two days!"

Chen Ruyi said "oh" and picked up the phone to start making a call.

Zhang Yixing was sitting in the back thinking about this matter. He took out his mobile phone and searched. It turned out that Xiaomi had not yet been established, and Lei Jun should still be preparing to start a mobile phone business. So what was going on with this so-called endorsement?

At this moment, Chen Ruyi covered her phone and turned to Zhang Yixing and said, "I want to ask Lei Jun if it is convenient for us to meet now?"

Zhang Yixing sighed with admiration, saying that Lei Jun was very proactive. He nodded and then listened to Chen Ruyi continuing to chat on the phone.

After the call was hung up, the driver quickly turned the car around according to the hotel where Lei Jun suggested to meet.

Ten minutes later, Zhang and his party arrived at the hotel and saw a familiar face waiting outside. It was Lei Jun.

Lei Jun is now considered a well-known wealthy man, but Zhang Yixing is not surprised at all that he acts like waiting for others. After all, when he becomes more successful, he will be able to put aside his airs and open the car door for his fans!
After getting off the car, Zhang and his group walked towards Lei Jun. Lei Jun also noticed Zhang and his group and stretched out his hand to greet them.

When the two of them got in touch, Lei Jun spoke in unstandard Mandarin, shook Zhang Yixing's hand and said, "Mr. Zhang, I've heard a lot about you~"

Zhang Yihang also looked at this reborn legendary template, and wanted to shout in his heart: "Xiao Ai classmate!" to see if a system would pop up.

This idea lingered for a long time before Zhang Yixing dismissed it. It was really of no benefit. If someone really agreed, there would be no way out of it!

Holding Lei Jun's hand, Zhang Yihang also responded with a smile: "Nice to meet you, Mr. Lei!" (End of this chapter)
