Chapter 65
"This pork elbow is so good," Su Yin praised it, "and the sweet and sour crispy fish is also delicious."
"Who made this plate of spicy chicken? Oops, it's so spicy to me." Lin Xuan'er drank boiled water regardless of her image.
The instigator, Liu Fenfang, explained: “It’s better if it’s spicy, which means you’ll be prosperous next year!”
Zhou Yiyang couldn't afford any delicacies right now, but for some reason, he enjoyed the meal tonight.
Wang Xingrui also brought some of the bacon sausages he brought from home. Zhou Yiyang took a bite and thought he was back on earth.
At that time, when he was celebrating the New Year alone, he would always steam a bowl of bacon sausages, add half a cup of Wuliangchun, which he was reluctant to drink on weekdays, and pair it with rice to make a sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner.
At this moment, he was extremely grateful to God for giving him a chance to live again.
"Brother Yang, come on, let's do the wine punch!" Tang Yue poured himself half a cup of Maotai at some point, and he was already drunk. "How are you two, five, five leaders, six, six, six!"
"Tangtang wake up, Tangtang, stay strong!" Su Yin coordinated with Tang Yue's performance.
Lin Xuan'er and Guan Fei were whispering there, and bursts of pleasant laughter broke out from time to time.
Wang Xingrui is very eager to learn and has already started to exchange cooking skills with Liu Fenfang, hoping to find time to take the chef certificate in the future.
As soon as eight o'clock Chinese time arrived, everyone turned around (including the drunken Tang Yue) and looked at the projection on the giant screen in the living room.
“Friends, viewers, you are now watching the China Television Comprehensive Channel, which is simultaneously broadcasting the 20xx Spring Festival Gala!”
Wang Xingrui put her hand on Su Yin's knee and said softly: "When I was a child, I went to the village chief's house to watch the Spring Festival Gala. The whole village gathered in front of a TV... Well, it's a bit like tonight."
"I usually go out to celebrate the New Year with friends after dinner, but I still rush back to count down with my mother." Su Yin said with a smile.
After Lin Xuan'er poured Tang Yue a few glasses of cold water, she finally came to her senses: "Since I was a child, I have never missed a Spring Festival Gala! I know the lines of many sketches at my fingertips!"
"Really?" Zhou Yiyang said with a smile: "Then you can go to the Spring Festival Gala to perform in sketches. You have this talent."
"Okay!" Tang Yue chuckled: "Then I'm going to play an old lady. This way there will be a contrast and everyone will remember me!"
"When I was a kid, I most wanted to go to my grandma's house to celebrate the New Year, because my grandma and uncle would give me a lot of snacks, and even the junk food my mom wouldn't let me eat." Lin Xuan'er couldn't help but smile as she spoke.
Zhou Yiyang also enjoyed watching several sketches. Although they were not comparable to those masterpieces from the 1980s, 1990s and early 20th century on Earth, they were still much funnier than the Spring Festival Gala sketches in the last few years before he traveled through time.
At least I won't give up the humor in order to sublimate the theme.
However, the performance of the songs was relatively mediocre. The most popular singer last year was definitely Yue Shao, followed by Luo Chen and He Lianbei. None of them participated in the Spring Festival Gala, which resulted in the songs they sang this year being unresonable.
When it was almost midnight, almost everyone took out their mobile phones and called their parents and family members.
Even though we are thousands of miles apart and in a foreign country, we still care about each other.
"Mom, they all said the dumplings I made today are delicious! Yes, yes, they were all taught by you!" Tang Yue danced on the phone.
Wang Xingrui leaned against the door and chatted with her brother: "By the way, do your parents want to answer the phone? Well, I understand. I will take care of myself. Happy New Year!"
Su Yin held her hand and stood in front of the window, "Mom, do you think we will see the same fireworks at the same time?"
"Definitely," Ye Kongqing said softly: "When we raise our heads, we can see the same star guarding us!"
Lin Xuan'er took her mobile phone and walked to a place with few people: "Hey, can you hear me? Dad, Mom, are you just celebrating the New Year this year with just two people? Oh oh oh, grandparents are here too? Grandma, Happy New Year...
…”
Blushing, Guan Fei hung up the call with Bai Yangyu and quickly called her parents.
Zhou Yiyang was playing with his cell phone, blessing everyone who deserved blessings. At this special moment, he couldn't find the right person to call.
zero point.
Amidst the continuous blessings, Zhou Yiyang's cell phone kept ringing.
Su Yin, Tang Yue, Lin Xuan'er, Wang Xingrui, Luo Chen, He Lianbei, Ning Mang and many, many others all opened New Year's greetings to him at midnight.
"Oh," Zhou Yiyang turned his back to them and tried to keep his voice as normal as possible: "I wrote these New Year's greetings myself, not copied from the Internet? Wait a minute, I'll go upstairs to get the red envelope."
…
First grade of junior high school.
Everyone has entered a working state, no, it should be a more tense wartime state.
"As of 12 o'clock, how much is the box office and where is the ranking?" Zhou Yiyang asked immediately.
The Spring Festival period is different from other periods. People are queuing up to watch movies starting from the morning.
Guan Fei refreshed the page frantically and said with some surprise:
""The Godfather", with a box office of 68 million, currently ranked third!"
"So high?" Lin Xuan'er was stunned for a few seconds. From her point of view, this box office was a good result even on the first day.
And now, it's only 12 o'clock.
"68 million..." Tang Yue paused: "This is only third place. How exaggerated is it to be first or second?"
"The gap in the film schedule is too big," Liu Fenfang shook her frame: "The No. 1 box office "Nian Beast" has a 28% film schedule, with a box office of 110 million. The second box office "A Kiss" has a 24% film schedule, with a box office of 7,400.
10,000. Our film schedule was 14.5%, but the box office was higher than "The Legend of the Silver Haired Witch" which was ranked 19.5%."
Lin Xuan'er immediately ran through these numbers in her mind, "This only leaves 14% of the film schedule? Aren't there at least six more movies left?"
"This is the Spring Festival schedule," Zhou Yiyang shrugged: "Except for the two movies currently scheduled for the fifth and sixth slots that still have the opportunity to counterattack by word-of-mouth, the other four movies scheduled are all around 1% and have already withdrawn from the competition for the Spring Festival schedule early.
"
"It's too exaggerated," said Su Yin, who was nervous as the star of "The Godfather". If her solo movie failed, she would at most feel sorry for Zhou Yiyang and the investors, but there are so many good things in the movie.
The actors, many of whom are unknown, want to become famous through this movie. She hopes that she can bring them good luck: "So unless you are very confident about the quality, choosing other schedules is much better than the Spring Festival schedule."
"Indeed," Wang Xingrui nodded heavily: "But Xuan'er, you also made a lot of money this time. Did you know that your song "Light" rushed to the number one hit spot today on TouchOnlight!"
This time Zhou Yiyang used this song as the episode of "The Godfather of Magic City". As for the theme song, he used a pure music.
As expected, the audience still prefers vocal singing to melodious and listenable pure music.
Lin Xuan'er hugged Su Yin directly: "As expected of Xiao Xiao Su, I want to thank you very much! I just read a lot of reviews, and they all praised your performance!"
"Well," Su Yin said with some embarrassment: "Actually, it's Brother Yang's credit as a director. If it weren't for him, there wouldn't be such a good story."
"Um..." Lin Xuan'er blushed: "Thank you, Brother Yang, I won't hug you anymore."
"Of course." Zhou Yiyang nodded immediately.
Tang Yue immediately changed the topic: "Sister Fei, please tell me about the ratings of our movies on Miaoyan, Yunpiaopiao and Douban! Are we leading in word-of-mouth?"
"Yes," Guan Fei is also very proud. So far, no movie produced by Yiyang Entertainment has had a bad reputation! ""The Godfather" has a score of 9.5 on Miaoyan and Yunpiao, and it also has an 8.6 on Douban.
This score is really high!”
"By the way, pfft," Guan Fei couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Do you know the score of "A Kiss", which is particularly popular on Douyin? Yun Piao voted 8.3. Because of Yun Bao's investment, I
I suspect that Suo has a score. And Miaoyan only has a score of 7.9. As for Douban, it starts with a score of 5."
Zhou Yiyang took a look at the ratings of several movies. Unexpectedly, the second-rated movie was actually the movie where the director and staff knelt down. Both Yun Piao Piao and Miao Yan both scored 9.2.
He actually thinks that this movie is likely to make a comeback from sixth place in the Spring Festival schedule to third place in the Spring Festival schedule.
The comedy film "The Nian Beast" with a large number of stars should still be second.
Yes, Zhou Yiyang is now confident that "The Godfather" will be the winner of this year's Spring Festival.
After lunch, each of them was still paying attention to the real-time box office, for fear of missing something.
18 o'clock.
The movie box office forum is extremely lively. Every year before the Spring Festival, people in this forum will predict the winner of the Spring Festival festival.
However, no one was optimistic about "The Godfather" this year, but now it is becoming more and more a dark horse.
The post with the most replies so far is:
"Real-time box office report: "The Godfather" has 150 million, which has surpassed "A Kiss"! The attendance rate is three times that of "A Kiss"! I no longer dare to predict its final box office!"
Zhou Yiyang looked at the title, which was as long as a light novel, and opened the post while holding back a smile.
The reply was quite sincere. Many people should have watched several popular movies during the Spring Festival.
[Seriously, I don’t care about marketing films like "One Kiss". Isn’t this just a naked money fraud! Why is it that in the 21st century, there is still a film like this in which the heroine has an abortion and amnesia for leukemia?]
["The Legend of the Silver-Haired Witch" is really bad, the special effects are not as good as "Charlotte"! To be honest, I quit the show halfway through watching it. This is my last tenderness for my body!]
[What’s wrong with Jiang Biyun? She actually went to pick up "The Battle of the Nian Beasts". This is a late season! On the other hand, He Lianbei’s stock is full of movies by great directors!]
[However, even if it is not set off by peers, the quality of "The Godfather" is not comparable to ordinary movies. I even dare to say that this is the most touching Spring Festival movie I have watched in recent years.]
[Really, you must watch "The Godfather" with your parents. After watching it, my mother and I both cried. I really regretted the quarrel with my mother yesterday and wanted to run away from home!]
"Yes, the reputation has begun to ferment." Zhou Yiyang raised the corners of his mouth, becoming more and more confident.
A certain second-generation person who did not want to be named walked into the private theater.
"Master Long, what kind of movie are we watching? You actually booked the entire movie theater. Could it be that the heroine here is your new love?"
"Get away," Shen Long said coldly, "It would be so embarrassing if someone caught me watching a movie like this."
The younger brother muttered in his heart: "If you don't want to watch it, why bother paying for it? Isn't this a free ticket? I think Mr. Long just doesn't want to admit that he wants to watch this movie."
Chapter completed!
