On July 24, "Night·Club" was officially released nationwide.
In order to support Azu’s career development, the entire Kang family went to the cinema to buy tickets and watch the movie. Due to its success at the Shanghai Film Festival, the film's attendance rate on the first day of release was very good, and it eventually received a single-day box office of 1.0567 million. Such good results have naturally led many cinemas to start increasing their film schedules.
The box office performance of "Night·Club" in the first week was finally fixed at 7.251 million. "Night··Club" and its production company Xiyangyang Film and Television have become a dark horse in the film industry in 2005. And just when everyone is looking forward to the next performance of "Night·Club", Xiyangyang Film and Television has officially announced that its second film "The Journey" will be released during the 2006 Spring Festival.
"A Lost Journey" also stars Xu Zheng, the male protagonist of "Night·Club". After "Night·Club" wrapped filming in November last year and completed post-production in December, Xi Yangyang established the project of "A Lost Journey" 》project, which officially started filming in February this year, has been completed, and the post-production phase is almost completed. Xiyangyang has internally approved the project of "33 Days After Love", but there is no filming plan yet.
Because Xi Yangyang has no money!
The cost of "Night Club" was 2.5 million yuan, and the cost of "People on the Road" was 7 million yuan. The 10 million yuan that KS Investment Company invested in Xi Yangyang has been spent. The theater chain will usually split the accounts with the distribution company one month after the movie is released. Therefore, although the box office of "Night Club" is now close to 10 million, it has nothing to do with Xi Yangyang for the time being. It will have to wait a few weeks before the next round of filming can begin.
On August 21, "Night Club" went offline 29 days after its release, recording a box office of 15.8675 million in the process. A result that was about 30% higher than in the previous life, a very good result. Xi Yangyang also started to get the pre-tax film rent paid by the cinema.
How is the box office revenue of a movie divided? This depends on the specific cooperation contract signed between the distribution company and the theater chain. The mainstream cooperation model in China is sharing. Over the years, the sharing ratio of both parties has long been established as a convention. From the time a movie is released to the time it is released, the total box office revenue is divided between the distributor and the cinema, which is generally about 50/50, half and half.
That is to say, the publisher received approximately 7.9 million yuan this time. Excluding the portion from other companies, the amount received by Joy Yang was 6 million yuan. Excluding the cost of 2.5 million yuan, Xi Yangyang made 3.5 million yuan on the project "Night Club". According to Kang Qirui's knowledge, the other companies they cooperated with this time spent about 1 million on publicity, which means that their profits have reached almost 100%. Based on this, the project "People on the Road" has received cooperation invitations from many companies.
On the night of Monday, August 29, Ayao came home from get off work and cursed as soon as he entered the door and said: "If you are unlucky, you will choke even when you drink water."
"There's nothing wrong with you, right?" Lao Dou asked.
“I’m really unlucky in my work unit. There are four places to go to the party school, but I don’t have one.” Ayao complained. He is one of the youngest deputy division-level cadres in the bureau. Logically speaking, he should be sent to study as a sign of vigorous training.
"You idiot, if you don't want to go, then you won't go." Mom comforted Ayao according to her own understanding: "Studying is very hard, and it is definitely not as easy as going to work."
Ayao was stunned when he heard this. He walked to his mother and pulled her and said, "Mom, do you really not understand or are you pretending not to understand? Do you know? Going to the party school is equivalent to preparing for promotion. Many Everyone gets promoted after they go there."
"I work for promotion all my life," the second man sighed.
"Ayao, let me tell you." Lao Dou said: "It's good if you know. Why are you inferior to others when you compare with others? Just work hard."
"You kid, I There is nothing inferior to others." Ah Yao defended himself: "Let's talk about Zhang Zai. He can speak foreign languages but he can't speak Cantonese well. And that Ah Hua looks like a weak scholar. It’s embarrassing to be a leader and speak on stage.”
Kang Qirui glanced at him, chuckled and shook his head. He finally understood why A Yao had been the deputy director for so many times, but in the end it was someone else who became the director, because A Yao's perception was completely wrong. He looked at it and said with disapproval: "If that's what you think, Ah San, then I think you won't be able to get rid of the title of Deputy Chief until the day you retire."
A Yao was naturally unconvinced. He originally wanted to argue with Kang Qirui, but Sachiko caught him in time. Sachiko blocked him behind him. She asked Kang Qirui seriously: "Arui, what do you mean by this? If you have any opinions, just tell Ayao, and Ayao will definitely listen to you."
Kang Qirui He looked at Sachiko, then at Ayao, and then said seriously: "First of all, Guangfu is an international metropolis, a place where people from all over the country come to make a living. Foreign languages and Mandarin are the core in the future. , Cantonese is ugly. In a few years, no one will speak Cantonese to you when you go out on the street, let alone your government agencies. How could you naively think that speaking Cantonese is an advantage? ? Now all primary school classes are taught in Mandarin. ”
"Secondly, what's wrong with the scholar?" Kang Qirui calmed down and continued: "The most important thing is that you are too impatient. You were promoted to deputy director just a year ago, and now you want to be promoted again? You don't have to do anything in the bureau. So, just train you? You have to be generous and tolerant. What you want to do now is not to study in the party school, but to improve your academic qualifications. Think about the on-the-job graduate student I told you before. . ”
A Yao’s first degree is too bad, just a junior college. Three years ago, at Kang Qirui's suggestion, he obtained an adult bachelor's degree through continuing education (enrolled in 2001 and graduated in 2002), but this degree is still low. Nowadays, a bachelor's degree is too common, and the value of an adult bachelor's degree is not as valuable as someone else's bachelor's degree obtained through an ordinary college entrance examination.
"Are you talking about me?" At this time, Shuiwei walked into Kang's house. Ayao originally had a lot to say, but was interrupted by Shuweiwei. So he asked: "What are you talking about? We are talking about taking the postgraduate entrance examination."
"That means you are talking about me!" Shuiwei said with certainty, "The recent one Pyrenees University has opened a graduate class in Guangfu, and I will go to graduate school.”
"What, what, what? Are you going to graduate school?" Azu, who was most familiar with Shuiwei, looked incredulous and joked: "It's almost like being studied in a mental hospital."
"Hey, hey, hey? One Old classmate, do you look down on me so much? Let me tell you the truth, my supervisor said that if my thesis is good, I can continue to study as a doctoral student." Shuiwei said with a stern expression. I really can't tell whether he is telling the truth or not.
“Do you want to study for a doctorate instead of cow shit? Your PhD studies cow shit?” the second guy joked.
When Shuiwei was about to quarrel with the second brother, Lao Dou asked: "Awei, which subject are you studying?"
"That big major is business management. ." Shuiwei waved his hand and said with a smile: "All my classmates are chairman and general manager, so everyone calls it big money major."
"Are you considered a wealthy person like this?" The second brother snorted and said, "We have a lot of chairman and general manager in the Kang family. If you just grab anyone, you will have a lot of names. What's the point of being arrogant?"
Kuiwei was speechless. Seeing that he could no longer show off his authority, he said goodbye and left. After Shuiwei left, Ah Yao, who originally didn't want to go to graduate school, changed his mind. He said: "I really regret not getting more diplomas. If I had completed my undergraduate degree and continued my studies, I would be a graduate student now." . ”
It’s not enough to show off, but it wakes up Ayao. It can’t be said that his trip is meaningless!
"Ayao, it's not too late for you to wake up now." Lao Dou said earnestly: "You are right, little brother. It is necessary for you to take the postgraduate examination. As the saying goes, 'He who knows what is coming' No matter how hard you try, it’s still too late.”
“It’s true that there is no end to learning, but it depends on who said it.” Azu said disapprovingly: “Look at it like Ah San. He is already a four-eyed boy. If he continues to read like this, he will become blind. "Having just led Xi Yangyang to great success, he does not think that graduate school is necessary.
"You are a bad boy, you are the only one who talks too much." Lao Dou criticized A Zu, and then said: "Don't be afraid, A Yao, Lao Dou supports you to study, and our whole family supports you. A Rui, you are responsible for helping A Yao "Yao tutors homework"
Lao Dou immediately started assigning work. Kang Qirui said "Ah" and said, "How can I have time? The semester is about to start, and I have to teach undergraduates. There are a lot of things to do, such as supervising the homework of graduate students, the school’s research projects, and my new book to write.”
He thought for a while, and then said: “It’s not difficult to be a part-time graduate student in Asan. , let’s see if one of my students has time to be his tutor, okay?”
A Yao was not happy, “Hey, hey, hey, your student will be my tutor.” Tutor me? Then I will become your student's student? Are my full-time graduate students good?" Kang Qirui glanced at A Yao and said speechlessly: "Everyone is a top student, okay? It shouldn't be too easy to tutor you to become a part-time graduate student."
Ayao was speechless. Lao Dou continued to assign tasks and said: "A Zong, you support him financially. Although he is A Rui's student, we still have to pay for tutoring. We also need to buy more nutritional supplements for him."
"Ah?" The second guy said in surprise: "Why do you want me to pay? His wife has a lot of money."
"Brothers working together can make more money. This kind of thing It must be the brother who contributes money and effort." Old Dou had his own reasons, and the second brother had no choice but to agree.
"Everyone else must be quiet when Ayao is reviewing his studies, and the TV is not allowed to be turned on." Lao Dou issued another order, which was undoubtedly opposed by most people. Especially the second sister-in-law who loves watching TV series. She said: "If my third uncle wants to study, he should study in his own room. What does it matter if we can't turn on the TV? This is Xiguan House and the soundproofing is so good. What's the sound in the living room?" Maybe it can reach his room?" (End of Chapter)
