Chapter 125: A Better Beginning in Taiwan
When Zhou Yan went to play the piano, his younger brothers and sisters also looked at him with admiration.
What they love most is watching Zhou Yan play an instrument. Last summer, they could see Zhou Yan playing the piano, flute or violin every day, but they still didn't get tired of watching it.
For them, among the three brothers of the Zhou family, the one they can show off the most is the third brother, Zhou Yan.
The eldest brother is pursuing an official career and the second brother is doing business. There is really nothing to show off, but when it comes to the third brother, it is different.
“My third brother can make movies.”
“He can also play the flute.”
“Play the piano.”
“I can also play the violin.”
< br>Every time they show off their third brother, they always have endless things to say. The key is that everything is true and they show off with peace of mind.
Looking at their expressions, Wang Zuxian also laughed. It was obvious that Zhou Yan's younger brothers and sisters really liked Zhou Yan.
She also turned sideways, leaned on the back of the chair, and quietly watched Zhou Yan play.
Although after the melody of "Reunion" sounded, the guests in the restaurant consciously lowered their voices a lot, but this is a restaurant after all, not a concert hall, and the voices of voices are definitely unavoidable.
The sound of chairs mopping the floor, the sound of waiters greeting guests, the sounds of guests chatting... Various sounds are mixed with the sound of the piano, making it slightly noisy.
But here lies the charm of music. If every performance is the same as the recorded version, why bother playing it again and again?
Wang Zuxian even felt that such a performance with a bit of pyrotechnics was very interesting. She didn't need to know much about music, she just needed to quietly feel the atmosphere created by the music.
On the other side, the two girls near the door finally couldn't help themselves when they heard the second song.
Wenwen pushed his companion, "Xiaolin, go and see what the piano player looks like."
Xiaolin twisted her body and curled her lips and said, "What do you want? If you know, just go and see it yourself. After I saw it, you still don’t know what he looks like?”
Wenwen said with a smile, “If he looks good, I’ll go see him again.”
"What if she doesn't look good?" Xiaolin asked.
"If it doesn't look good, don't tell me, don't let my fantasy be shattered."
"Okay."
Xiao Lin shrugged and stood When she got up, she really wanted to see what the boy playing the piano looked like.
After getting up, Xiaolin was embarrassed that her purpose was too obvious, so she slowly walked around from the side road, pretending to be looking for someone.
After walking for a long time, Wenwen over there was almost dying of anxiety, and Xiaolin finally got close to the piano.
Xiao Lin quickly glanced at the piano player, and then quickly turned her head away.
But the boy was half-lowering his head at the moment, and he was looking too fast, so Xiaolin didn't see it clearly, so she had to turn her head and look again.
This time Xiao Lin looked at it for a while longer, and the boy even looked up at her.
With just one glance, Xiaolin ran away in panic.
After running back to their table, Wenwen couldn't wait to ask her: "How is it, how is it, does he look good?"
Xiaolin did not answer, but first picked up the water on the table to drink. Take a bite.
Seeing her like this, Wenwen was anxious to death, "Isn't it good-looking?"
"It's good-looking, very good-looking, but..."
"But what?"
"But I feel like he looks like the same person."
"Who does he look like?"
"Zhou Yan."
"Zhou Yan is..."
Article Wen was about to say who Zhou Yan was, but then he suddenly thought of something, and a disdainful smile appeared on his face, "You don't want to tell me that the director of "The Piano Boy Who Wants to Fly" and the original author of these songs came to the restaurant Playing the piano, we happened to meet him, right?”
Xiaolin took another sip of water and nodded excitedly, "Yes."
Wenwen stared at Xiaolin's face carefully, then curled her lips and smiled, "Your acting skills are getting better and better now. Okay, this exciting performance was so good that I even blushed a little... If you want to say that the one playing the piano is Chen Changrong, I would be more convinced."
"If you don't believe it, go and see for yourself. , Does it look like him?"
"It must be that he is not good-looking, that's why you want me to come over so much, I don't want to fall into your trap."
"The difference between people. What about the trust between each other? Anyway, I think it is, but it’s a pity that I didn’t bring a photo, otherwise I could have looked at it.”
"Tch..."
Wenwen twitched his lips, but couldn't help but look in the direction of the piano.
After hesitating for a while, Wenwen stood up and said, "Okay, you succeeded, I'm going to see what he looks like now."
After saying that, Wenwen walked towards Walk in the direction of the piano.
She was much bolder than Xiaolin. She went straight to the piano without taking any detours or pretense.
When she was halfway there, the second song ended.
The boy playing the piano seemed to have no intention of continuing to play. He also stood up from the piano bench and walked forward.
At this moment, the two of them met head on.
Seeing his appearance, Wenwen's whole body froze as if his acupuncture points were tapped.
Wenwen has seen the photo of Zhou Yan attached to the tape more times than Xiaolin, so she has a deeper impression of Zhou Yan's face.
Xiao Lin only thought it looked like him before, but Wen Wen was basically certain that this was Zhou Yan.
There are very few boys who are so good-looking, not to mention Zhou Yan's obvious features, that is, his eyes, which are very big and tender.
And the table where the boy was sitting was right next to him. Wenwen also heard the boy talking to his tablemate in Mandarin, and he immediately knew that Zhou Yan was from the mainland.
This must be me, otherwise there would be no such person in the world who can still speak Mandarin.
Wenwen stood there for at least ten seconds before she realized what she was doing and ran back.
Xiaolin asked as soon as she returned to the table.
"Is it, is it?"
Wenwen picked up the cup and put it to her mouth, but did not drink. When she heard Xiaolin's words, she nodded blankly.
She didn’t expect that there was such a coincidence in this world, that they would meet Zhou Yan when they came to have a meal.
"Shall we..."
Wenwen knew what Xiaolin was going to say, so he frowned and said, "Isn't it good? I'm eating, so I probably don't want to be disturbed."
"But the opportunity is really rare."
Of course Wenwen also knows that the opportunity is rare, but she is still embarrassed. When they saw news about some fanatical fans following celebrities before, they would also express disdain and did not want to become such a person themselves.
Although Xiaolin proposed this, she was not courageous enough. The two of them kept struggling like this. They could not sit still and the food was not delicious. From time to time, they looked at Zhou Yan's table.
After Zhou Yan sat down here, Wang Zuxian was the first to praise, "Third brother, you play well."
It seems that Wang Zuxian is not going to change his title, and will still call him third brother Zhou Yan. She feels that calling Zhou Yan this way is much more interesting than calling him Zhou Yan directly.
“Third brother, you haven’t heard enough.” Lao Jiu said with a smile. She got a cup of yogurt from somewhere and was scooping it up, with a white mustache on her mouth.
Zhou Yan smiled and said, "I will play it for you next time when I have a chance. Have a good meal today."
"I want to listen to the flute next time." Wang Zuxian said with a smile.
Zhou Qing rushed to say, "Sister Xiaoxian wants to listen to the flute. It's easy. Third brother came here with the flute this time and can perform for you at any time."
Zhou Yan knocked on his sister's forehead, "You think my brother is a street performer."
Zhou Qing rubbed his forehead and pursed his lips and said, "Sister Xiaoxian wants to hear it."
" It’s okay, I’ll listen to it later when I have a chance.” Wang Zuxian said with a smile.
While a few people were chatting and laughing, the food came one after another, and they began to concentrate on the food again.
I have to say that although Wang Zuxian came to this restaurant for the piano, the food tastes really good.
Cantonese cuisine is available all over the country, and it is not uncommon in Jinling. For example, the famous snack Dasanyuan Saqima in Jinling is produced by the famous Cantonese restaurant Dasanyuan.
The food here is most suitable for Lao Jiu's taste. Since the food was served, Lao Jiu has not stopped talking.
Wang Zuxian was very happy to see Lao Jiu eating happily and kept feeding her, letting her try this and that. He wished she could taste all the dishes in the restaurant.
Halfway through the meal, Wang Zuxian had just given Lao Jiu a piece of fish belly, and suddenly he leaned towards Zhou Yan.
Seeing her leaning to his side, Zhou Yan asked, "What's wrong?"
Wang Zuxian pushed up his glasses and whispered, "I seem to have been recognized."
Zhou Yan raised his eyebrows and looked forward. Sure enough, two girls were looking towards him with bright eyes. Coming here, it seems that he must have recognized Wang Zuxian.
He couldn't help but sigh, are all movie fans these days jealous? Wang Zuxian is disguised like this, can anyone recognize him? It would be a bit humiliating for these two girls not to become entertainment reporters.
Well, it’s not easy to have a good meal.
Soon, the two girls arrived at the table. Zhou Yan sat forward and blocked Wang Zuxian from behind. He was about to speak when he heard the girl in front of him using a substandard Said in Mandarin, "Hello, is this Mr. Zhou?"
Hearing this, Wang Zuxian and Zhou Yan were stunned at the same time.
"Uh...my surname is Zhou, who are you?"
Hearing Zhou Yan's words, the two girls showed shy smiles, and the girl who just spoke again He whispered, "Hello, Mr. Zhou, we are your movie fans and music fans... We didn't mean to disturb your dinner with your family. We saw you playing the piano just now, so we came to ask. It's convenient for you... ..."
The girl took out a small book, her meaning was obvious, she wanted Zhou Yan to sign it for them.
Wang Zuxian poked Zhou Yan's arm at the side, meaning to ask him to quickly agree to the two little girls and sign for them.
Zhou Yan nodded, took the notebook with a smile, "Sign it, no problem."
After taking the notebook, he asked again, "What are your names?"
"Xu Huilin ."
"Song Yawen."
"Nice to meet you."
Zhou Yan smiled and wrote "To Xu Huilin" and "To Song Yawen", and then signed his name.
After getting the signature, the two little girls were very happy and kept saying thank you. They were worried about attracting other people, so their voices were very low and their movements were very light.
""The Piano Boy Who Wants to Fly" is really good to watch."
"The soundtrack is so good, I have been listening to it these days."
Wang Zuxian next to him is smiling Said, "Then I need to help with publicity when I get back."
Zhou Yan was startled when he heard Wang Zuxian speak. He thought to himself that she was very brave and dared to speak at this time. Are she really not afraid that these two girls would recognize her?
However, Xu Huilin and Song Yawen's attention is now on Zhou Yan, and they have not noticed what Wang Zuxian looks like behind Zhou Yan. The main reason is that Wang Zuxian's disguise is indeed very successful, and they cannot be recognized without looking carefully. .
"Definitely, definitely. When we get back, we will help promote it and let our classmates go to the cinema to watch it."
"We also need them to buy records."
He said it again After a few words to express their support, the two girls bid farewell to Zhou Yan very knowingly.
After they left, Wang Zuxian said with a smile, "I thought they recognized me. It turned out to be an inadvertent incident, but you are also very famous in Xiangjiang now. You can be recognized even when you are eating."
"It's just a coincidence." Zhou Yan smiled.
In fact, if Zhou Yan had not played the piano or played the music in "The Piano Boy Who Wants to Fly", Xu Huilin and Song Yawen would not have noticed him.
"But you are too courageous. You dared to speak in the situation just now, so you are not afraid that they will recognize you?"
Wang Zuxian smiled and said, "I think it's quite fun. ”
Zhou Jing, the seventh child, smiled and said, "When third brother goes out in the future, will he have to disguise himself like sister Xiaoxian?"
"It shouldn't be necessary for the time being." Zhou Yan smiled.
......
While Zhou Yan and the others were eating in the hotel, China Television's variety show "Walk and Talk" was also being broadcast on Taiwan.
As a loyal viewer of "Walking and Talking", Zheng Xiaoan not only waits for the show to air in front of the TV every week, but also takes his wife and daughter to watch it together.
Compared to those indoor talk shows, Zheng Xiaoan prefers programs recorded outdoors, which are very pyrotechnics.
Although his wife Xu Linru feels that this kind of talk show is a bit boring, she still watches it with her husband every week with her daughter. Her husband usually has no other hobbies, so spending an hour watching a show with him is nothing.
"Who is today's guest?" Xu Linru asked casually before the show was broadcast.
This question stopped Zheng Xiaoan, because he didn’t know this guest either.
"It seems to be a male star." He forgot what it was called.
In fact, Zheng Xiaoan doesn't care who the guest is, because he mainly likes the host Xiaonan.
After a while, the program was officially broadcast.
The host Xiaonan appeared at the door of China Television Station with a microphone.
"Hello everyone, I am your good friend Xiaonan, and it is "Walking and Talking" again once a week. Have you missed me?"
At this time, the camera shook up and down. , as if nodding.
Xiaonan smiled and said, "I see you nodding, I miss you too..."
After an opening remarks, the host introduced today's guest, named Zhou Yan, a young male director , just filmed the movie "The Piano Boy Who Wants to Fly", and also introduced the award-winning status of this movie.
“Dad, what is the Clermont-Ferrand International Film Festival? Is it famous?” asked her daughter Zheng Youqing.
“It must be a very famous film festival.”
Xu Linru looked at her husband with a smile. She knew that her husband must not know about this film festival.
On TV, after introducing the guests, Xiaonan took the camera to a cafe in Ximending to find Zhou Yan, the guest of this episode.
This design is a little different from previous programs. In the past, the guests appeared directly with Xiaonan. This change is not big, but it is refreshing.
“This director is very good-looking.” My daughter Zheng Youqing said with a smile.
Although the guest is not famous, he is good-looking and can be regarded as interesting.
After the host met Zhou Yan, they didn’t exchange much greetings. They went shopping together and officially started the program.
The next short section is similar to previous programs. The host and the guests chat while walking. The content of the conversation is all related to the movie "The Piano Boy Who Wants to Fly". Basically, every guest comes to participate in the program to promote new works. of.
But soon, something special happened.
When the two of them walked downstairs of the Dingdong Theater, the host suddenly saw a piano and asked Zhou Yan if he could play some original songs that appeared in the movie to let the audience enjoy it first. . Zhou Yan readily agreed.
Then Zhou Yan sat on the piano bench and started playing the piano.
At first, Zheng Xiaoan and the others only thought it was quite novel, because there had never been anything like this in this program before. They were all interviews with you and me.
When the piano sound came out, the family of three were stunned.
Many people can play the piano. Zheng Youqing has also learned it for several years and can play many pieces of music.
But once Zhou Yan took action, it gave people a different feeling.
“Wow, this piece of music sounds so good and upbeat.” Zheng Youqing couldn’t help but say.
At this time, some passers-by were attracted by the sound of the piano downstairs of the Dingdong Theater and gradually gathered around.
After the first cheerful song ended, Zhou Yan changed to the second song, which became more soothing and beautiful. At this time, more and more people came around.
Seeing more and more people around them, the family of three in front of the TV actually felt excited, as if they were being watched.
This kind of... is like watching a TV series. The male protagonist of the TV series is stealing the show, and it feels super awesome.
It would be nice to see the expressions of the onlookers...
As if the production team knew what the audience was thinking, they immediately cut a few onlookers covering their mouths in surprise.
Xu Linru, who was knitting a sweater, also sat up straight and looked straight at the TV. She particularly liked the shot of the audience's reaction just now.
This is not the same boring TV show as before. It is basically a TV series. The key is that the guest Zhou Yan is good-looking, plays the piano well, and the music is very nice, so the effect is better than that of some TV series. Even better.
No, it should be better than most idol dramas.
Because when watching a TV series, the audience knows that everything is acted out, but this show is different. The scenes are all real. This feeling is much more exciting than watching a TV series.
Xu Linru would definitely have the same expression if I were there!
My daughter Zheng Youqing has little stars in her eyes.
What movie was the host talking about directed by Zhou Yan? What piano, what boy?
These songs are all from the movie, and they are original creations by Zhou Yan himself. This is simply like the male protagonist of the TV series coming into reality, okay?
Zheng Youqing has watched many episodes of "Walk and Talk" with her father. She never thought that she would fall directly in love with a star because of a show. It's that simple.
The program was not long, and more than 20 minutes passed just by Zhou Yan playing the piano, because this episode not only featured Zhou Yan playing the piano, but also included a lot of reaction shots of the onlookers.
When this episode ended, the family of three discovered that Zhou Yan’s interview was not over yet.
At the end of the program, the next program was also previewed.
"There will be another unexpected situation in the next issue..."
In the trailer, Zhou Yan picked up the flute again. As for why he plays the flute and what music he plays, the trailer also contains It was not released, which whetted the audience's appetite.
Xu Linru couldn't help complaining, "Oh, this is very annoying, can't it be broadcast all at once?"
Zheng Xiaoan was also a little dumbfounded, because this has never happened in previous programs, and the only guests in the same episode were One episode is long, but Zhou Yan received special treatment and was broadcast in two episodes.
He looked at the time. This issue was as long as the previous one, a full hour, but they always felt shorter than before.
Because I was so immersed, I couldn’t feel the passage of time.
At the end of the program, the host once again helped promote Zhou Yan's new movie "The Piano Boy Who Wants to Fly" and urged everyone to watch it.
Zheng Youqing smiled and suggested, "Mom and dad, let's go to the cinema to watch a movie tomorrow night."
Both Zheng Xiaoan and Xu Linru agreed to this proposal.
“Okay, it’s been a long time since our family went to the movies together.”
“This movie must be good, and these piano songs alone are worth the price of admission.”< br>
“Will Zhou Yan himself participate in this movie?”
"I don't know. I'll find out when I go to the cinema tomorrow."
...
Lin Youwei has been in a good mood during this period. Since he listened to the suggestions Zhou Yan made last time, he seems to have It was the two channels of Ren and Du that were opened up, and the program was made very different.
Originally, they planned to make only one issue for Zhou Yan, but after cutting and cutting, they found that they could make two issues, and the reaction of the onlookers alone would take ten minutes.
The following section where Zhou Yan plays the flute, various foreshadowing shots, and reaction shots total up to 20 minutes.
The audience thought that these reaction shots were all real, but in fact there were some truths and some lies in them.
The response at the scene was indeed good, but in order to make the effect better, they also found people on the stage to shoot the exaggerated reaction shots and cut them into the inside.
Such as the kind of shot where the eyes are wide open, the mouth is covered and the person is screaming, there may be scenes at the scene, but it is basically difficult to capture.
Anyway, just follow what Zhou Yan mentioned before, don’t do the show as before, but shoot it as a film and television drama. This feeling is indeed completely different.
Facts have proved that this is absolutely correct. The ratings of this episode are very good, breaking the highest ratings in the history of their program, especially the episode where Zhou Yan plays the piano, the peak ratings have exceeded 2.
Although it can't compare with those top variety shows, it is already a very big jump.
After the day's program ended, the column team received a lot of calls asking about the movie, and they also said that the program introduced too little about Zhou Yan.
Looking at it this way, the ratings of the next episode will only be higher.
......
After Zhang Youan received the first weekend box office of "The Piano Boy Who Wants to Fly", he immediately went to report to Xu Feng.
In the first three days, "The Piano Boy Who Wants to Fly" earned more than NT$14 million in Taiwan, which was much better than its premiere in Hong Kong.
There are three reasons for this result.
First, "The Piano Boy Who Wants to Fly" is obviously more suitable for Taiwanese movie fans. Many Taiwanese movie fans are very willing to watch this kind of warm movie.
Secondly, because Xu Feng believed that the movie was more in line with the taste of Taiwanese movie fans, more efforts were put into promoting it, including the two variety shows that Zhou Yan participated in before. .
Thirdly, the release time in Taiwan is later than that in Hong Kong. The theater saw that the box office of "The Piano Boy Who Wants to Fly" in Hong Kong was able to buck the trend and increase the number of screens of this movie from The original price of RMB 136 has been adjusted to RMB 197. This is the most important point. Directly filming movies has a much higher starting point here in Taiwan.
In addition, box office rankings here in Taiwan usually count based on the number of votes, and the unit price of "The Piano Boy Who Wants to Fly" is relatively low, so the results are actually better than the more than NT$14 million reflected.
With such results in the first week, Zhang Youan felt more stable.
This side of Taiwan is different from Xiangjiang. It is not as busy. The movie screening time is generally longer than that of Xiangjiang, usually a full month.
According to Zhang Youan's estimation, when the movie is released, the box office will be at least NT$35 million. This result may be able to be ranked among the top fifteen in Taiwan of the year. It is already a very good result. .
During this period, Zhang Youan became more and more energetic. This was Zhang Youan's first big project after taking over Zhou Yan's business, and it had such a solid start.
Xu Feng was naturally very happy when she heard Zhang Youan's report. She had expected that "The Piano Boy Who Wants to Fly" would do well in Taiwan, but now the results are still somewhat beyond her expectations.
With the support of box office in Xiangjiang and Taiwan, Tomson will later sell the distribution rights of the film to Neon, Korea and Southeast Asia, and the price will be easy to negotiate.
In fact, Xu Feng has also been paying attention recently to see if there are any suitable scripts that he can show to Zhou Yan.
She is not in a hurry for Zhou Yan to release a new movie immediately, but a movie takes a long time from preparation to shooting, so she must be careful in advance to look for a good script.
Zhou Yan is quite busy this year, but if he can find a good script in the second half of the year, he can slowly get into the mood, prepare for another year and a half, and wait until the second half of next year to start filming. In this way, one film will be filmed every two years. Movie, the frequency is just right.
But when it came to choosing a script, she could only help find it, and ultimately it was up to Zhou Yan.
"Oh, by the way, I have something to tell you." When he was about to hang up the phone, Xu Feng suddenly remembered something else.
Zhang Youan asked, "What's the matter, Mr. Xu?"
"I went to Yanjing two days ago, and I heard someone said that there is a support club for Zhou Yanyan Normal University in Yanjing."< br>
“Support Club?”
"Well, judging from the name, it should be a voluntary organization by the students of Yan Normal University. My friend said that he saw them handing out leaflets in front of the cinema."
Hearing this, Zhang Youan was also amazed, "Good boy , Someone has already organized a support meeting for Zhou Yan."
Xu Feng smiled, "When I first heard about it, I thought you were behind it."
"If I want to support it, I will do it on Taiwan first."
"I know your style. If you do it, it will definitely not be on such a small scale."
Xu Feng heard that the Zhou Yanyan Normal University Support Club was actually quite shabby. Not many people said it, and the red flyers they distributed were of inferior quality.
If Zhang Youan was supporting them from behind, it would definitely not be so shabby, and they would not be allowed to hand out flyers in front of the cinema.
"Okay, I know, I remember this matter, I will go and take a look when I have time."
Organizations like support clubs, no matter how big or small, are the parties involved. We need to get in touch, because at some level, what the support club does will also affect Zhou Yan himself.
Having a support group is naturally a good thing, as it proves that Zhou Yan now has fans, but the support group is also a double-edged sword. Zhang Youan is also worried that this support group will do something unfavorable to Zhou Yan.
This kind of thing happens often. Since the birth of Cui Jianyan's fan club, many rock singers and rock bands' fan clubs have appeared in Yanjing. In order to protect their idols, some crazy fans of the fan clubs will even quarrel and date other fans. They fight each other and bite everyone they see.
There are many rock music fans in Yanjing now, but there are also many people who hate rock music. The reason why so many people hate rock music is naturally also contributed by the fanatical music fans.
......
If Zuo Li, who was handing out leaflets, knew that Zhang Youan had such worries, he would definitely cry out and tell him not to worry.
Since "The Piano Boy Who Wants to Fly" was released, Zuo Li and the others have often gone to the cinema to hand out flyers.
After this period of development, their Zhou Yanyan Normal University Support Club has finally grown from a small organization of three to an organization of eleven, solidly exceeding double digits.
Of course, these eleven people only come from four dormitories, and the coverage area is pitifully small.
They usually have a lot of classes, so they only have time after class or on weekends. In addition, they also have various things to do, so they take turns distributing flyers.
The funds are all raised by the members themselves. President Zuo Li and Vice President Li Yuanyuan contributed more, while other members contributed less.
Nowadays, the liquidity of the support club is basically fixed at between 40 and 80 yuan. They have also set up a finance department director to be responsible for managing this huge sum of money.
In general, although the sparrow is small, it has all the internal organs, and it seems to be running in an orderly manner for the time being.
After today's hundred flyers were distributed, Li Yuanyuan rubbed her face that was about to freeze from laughter and said, "President, after reading my flyers just now, two little girls here decided to Watch "The Piano Boy Who Wants to Fly."
"It's good, we didn't waste our time today." Zuo Li smiled.
Then the two of them sat down by the flower bed in front of the theater. After handing out flyers for a while, they were really tired.
After a while, Zuo Li said with a smile, "Vice President, I have good news for you."
"What's the good news?"
"I have already negotiated with the radio station. Tomorrow afternoon's "Music World" will play "Piano Boy", and I have already sent the tape."
Li Yuanyuan smiled and said, "It is indeed good news. It is much more useful than sending out leaflets for several days. President, you still have a way."
"I happen to have a good friend who works at a radio station. After mentioning it a little bit, others also thought the music in it was good and very suitable for playing." Zuo Li said with a smile.
"Yeah." Li Yuan nodded, and then said worriedly, "I don't know how the box office of "The Piano Boy Who Wants to Fly" has been in the recent period, and the sales volume of the "Piano Boy" record. We don't know about these things. I can’t find out.”
In fact, what Li Yuan is most concerned about is the sales of the "Piano Boy" record. Yesterday, she went to the store to ask about it and heard that the sales were average.
But this is only the data of one store. As for the whole country, I don’t know.
Furthermore, Li Yuanyuan felt that Tomson Film Company had given too little publicity to "The Piano Boy Who Wants to Fly". There were no decent posters at all in the cinema, and there was relatively little news about the movie.
Zuo Li's mentality is relatively stable. Zhou Yan is just a new director after all, so it is normal for Tomson Film Company's resources not to be tilted towards him.
He also knows that Tomson Film Company is currently working hard to produce "Farewell My Concubine", so the resources must be focused on "Farewell My Concubine".
"It doesn't matter, it will get better gradually. You can see that there are obviously more viewers coming to the cinema to watch "The Piano Boy Who Wants to Fly" recently than before. This shows that the reputation of the movie has played a role."
" Well, I hope it will get better."
"Okay." Zuo Li stood up, "It's not too early, let's go back."
"Okay. br>
Today there were eleven people in the fan club, seven of them had something to do, and the remaining four were divided into two groups and went to two different cinemas.
Zuo Li and Li Yuanyuan were assigned to a group. The cinema they were in was not far from the school. The two of them rode a bicycle.
After returning, Zuo Li first sent Li Yuanyuan back to the dormitory, and then returned to his own dormitory.
As soon as he arrived at his dormitory, he heard his roommate Zhang Zhongliang running to him with a newspaper.
"President, look what I found?"
"What?" Zuo Li asked doubtfully.
Zhang Zhongliang took the newspaper and shook it in front of Zuo Li, "Look!"
Zuo Li took the newspaper and looked at it, and saw the headline: Mainland director Zhou Yan's debut film "Want to Fly" "The Piano Boy" is expected to have a box office of over 10 million in Hong Kong.
Seeing this title, Zuo Li raised his eyebrows and quickly read the news content.
I have to say that this news writer is quite good at telling stories. The author will first say that "The Piano Boy Who Wants to Fly" was not well received in Hong Kong at the beginning. After all, it is a relatively heartwarming movie. The commercial aspect is not very strong either, so there are very few films scheduled.
But when people didn’t expect it, this movie unexpectedly rushed forward as a dark horse. As of the time of writing this article, the box office of the movie in Hong Kong has exceeded 5 million Hong Kong dollars. According to this With such a trend, the box office is definitely expected to exceed 10 million in the later period.
The author also analyzed that no previous movie made by a mainland director has had such a high box office in Hong Kong. In a sense, "The Piano Boy Who Wants to Fly" has broken the record.
The news also mentioned that the album "Piano Boy" is very popular in Hong Kong and has a high sales volume, but no data is listed.
In addition, "The Piano Boy Who Wants to Fly" has been released in Taiwan during this period, and their newspaper will continue to track the data of the movie.
After watching the news, Zuo Li hurriedly ran out the door.
Zhang Zhongliang was stunned and shouted from behind, "President, where are you going? This is my newspaper..."
Zuo Lili ignored Zhang Zhongliang and ran directly downstairs to Li Yuanyuan's dormitory. He grabbed a girl and asked her to help call Li Yuanyuan.
After a while, Li Yuanyuan came out with a puzzled look on her face.
"President, what's wrong?"
Zuo Li said nothing and thrust the newspaper into Li Yuanyuan's hand.
