Chapter 320 Moving into the New Home (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

Qi Hao and An Feng went to see the movie "Aftershock" hand in hand.

They've already officially announced their relationship; they're doing it openly and honestly.

I don't care if I get photographed.

However, thanks to their discreet hats, the two were able to see the movie without any major incidents.
It must be said, this is a very powerful film.

The young actors all performed very well, especially Zhang Zifeng, whose acting skills and appearance are both good. Like Zhao Jinmai, who was signed by Qi Hao, he seems to have a promising future.

Qi Hao had read the original novel of the film, "Aftershock".

It can only be said that the movie and the original work are completely different things; the movie's message has strayed far from the original work.

Unlike the movie, in the original novel, the mother and daughter did not recognize each other at the end.

The author also states that the two will not recognize each other. While those who experienced the earthquake in the story have all emerged from its shadow to varying degrees, the trauma they suffered remains.

The film is a very mature commercial film that earned plenty of tears, generated a lot of buzz, and had a happy ending.

However, the film neglected the main theme conveyed by the original work—the continuous and persistent aftershocks that lasted for decades.

As a director, Qi Hao can understand Feng Xiaogang.

If we don't change it this way, the original story can't be adapted into a film.

From a professional perspective, as a commercially successful film with a clear purpose, "Aftershock" does not focus on the earthquake event itself, but rather on the human struggles and emotional entanglements of a mother and daughter over the course of 32 years after the earthquake. It emphasizes and enhances a poignant story against the backdrop of the Tangshan earthquake. Therefore, "Aftershock" is more of a family drama than a disaster film.

In this sense, the title of the original novel, "Aftershocks," is more in line with the theme of the film, while using the more eye-catching "Tangshan Earthquake" as the film's title should be considered from a commercial marketing perspective.

Some people criticize Feng Xiaogang for trying to capitalize on the Tangshan earthquake, but that's not necessarily a harsh criticism.

However, there were some things that Qi Hao couldn't quite understand.

It's not the movie itself, but the box office.

The box office of "The Great Earthquake" was very impressive. When Qi Hao went to see the movie, it had already been showing for more than a week.

The box office reached 1.6 million yuan in the first four days.

Although it can't compare to Avatar's opening weekend gross of $4020 million (approximately 2.7 million RMB) in mainland China, it is still far ahead of other domestic films.

Qi Hao's "A Little Thing Called First Love" barely broke 100 million yuan at the box office in its first week.

The box office of "Aftershock" has broken records. If it can reach the 500 million yuan box office record mentioned by Feng Xiaogang, then Aunt Hua's income may reach 50 million yuan.

Such significant positive news failed to boost the stock price.

Hua Yi's stock price has fallen for four consecutive trading days. Yesterday, it opened at 33.95 yuan and even reached a low of 33.38 yuan. When it closed at 3 pm, it was only 33.58 yuan.

It is worth noting that the market has seen consecutive gains during this period, with the Shanghai Composite Index rising by 2.10% in the same period.

While other markets are rising, this one keeps falling.

Back when it first went public, the highest share price reached 117.80 yuan per share, and Qi Hao sold his shares at 113.8 yuan per share.

Many people are optimistic that their stock price will exceed 120 yuan.

The results were increasingly divergent.

Even if you create a record-breaking movie, it won't help.

One possible reason for this is rampant piracy.

Pirated DVDs of "The Great Earthquake" in high definition (D9 format) have appeared on the market in Guangzhou. The retail price is only 7 yuan, which is much cheaper than the 90 yuan ticket price at the cinema.

The high ticket price is also a reason why many people choose to pirate the product.

Tickets for "First Love" cost less than thirty yuan.

The film "The Great Earthquake" is three times more popular than "First Love".

These pirated DVDs even had "Only available in Hong Kong and Macau" printed on the covers, suggesting that the source material likely came from Hong Kong.

Selling audio-visual copyrights too early can easily lead to piracy.

Of course, not selling won't stop piracy.

Another point is that even if Feng Xiaogang really gets 5 million yuan at the box office for "Aftershock", Hua Yi might not necessarily make a lot of money.

Of the 1.2 million yuan investment in this film, Tangshan Broadcasting and Television Media Co., Ltd. invested 6000 million yuan, Hua Yi invested 5300 million yuan, and China Film Group invested 700 million yuan.

Therefore, if the final box office reaches 5 million, Aunt Hua can receive nearly 1 million in box office revenue.

Even after deducting costs, its net profit is only 5000 million yuan, which is less than that of Feiyang Media's "First Love" and "Lost in Thailand".

Both of these films were funded by Qi Hao's side.

In addition, Huayi's interim results forecast stated that the company's performance in the first half of 2010 would decline significantly.

It's normal that investors weren't fooled by the box office performance of "Aftershock".

Qi Hao didn't actually harbor that much hostility towards Aunt Hua.

Even though you threatened me and blacklisted my girlfriend...

but!

I would never kick you when you're down unless I had the chance.

He could only say he was very glad he sold Aunt Hua early on.

Otherwise, who knows how much this wealth would have shrunk.

Qi Hao started moving.

He wanted to move some of his belongings from the apartment to the courtyard house.

Of course, only a small portion.

Those who could afford to buy new courtyard houses have basically all bought new ones.

The apartment is still his house; he's just temporarily lending it to Lao Tian to live in.

From now on, Qi Hao can live in both places.

The cunning rabbit has three caves.

Old Tian's new house will be delivered in the second half of the year.

It's a high-standard, fully-furnished apartment.

Then he will move to his new house.

After all, he's about to marry his adopted sister.

What's wrong with living in Qi Hao's house?

"I heard that Anfeng keeps a lot of cats and dogs..."

Lao Tian helped Qi Hao pack his things.

I don't know why, but I always get the feeling that Qi Hao and Lao Tian broke up, he found a new girlfriend, and now his new girlfriend is helping him move his things and leave.

"What do you want to say?" Qi Hao asked warily, sensing that this guy was up to no good.

"Since you're often away on business trips, I'll take care of Ao Bai here."

Old Tian, ​​a dignified CEO, deliberately skipped work today just to protect Ao Bai, this cat.

You can bring Ao Bai directly to the company.

But that only addresses the symptoms, not the root cause; sooner or later, we'll still have to go through with it.

"Oh, you're not taking it with you?"

An Feng, who was playing with Ao Bai in the living room with a cat toy, was already prepared to grab the cat and run away.

"I won't bring it anymore, it's Lao Tian's fate."

Qi Hao shook his head; what Lao Tian said wasn't without merit.

He is often away filming for months at a time, and unless he brings his cat with him, he has to hire someone to take care of it.

That's really going on far too much.

Unlike others who have seven or eight assistants following them, Qi Hao doesn't have any.

He was accompanied by Tang Chuan and Li Xiaomeng, and he felt really bad troubling them to take care of his cat.

Taking it to a hotel is also inappropriate.

Unlike dogs, cats are stressed by new environments, and many hotels prohibit pets.

"Qi Hao, you're such a good person!"

Old Tian thought he would have to use a lot of persuasion, but he didn't expect Qi Hao to compromise so easily.

He had prepared a whole host of arguments, but they were all useless.

"Doesn't your sister object to you raising Ao Bai?"

Qi Hao inquired about it to avoid any future family conflicts with Lao Tian.

If there are any conflicts.

Old Tian was probably the one who got beaten up by both his parents.

Other men have their own parents.

His parents are his mother-in-law and father-in-law.

“She came last time and got along quite well with Ao Bai. I’ve already discussed it with her.”

Old Tian was used to Ao Bai.

Although he doesn't own any shares in the company, Qi Hao pays him a high salary of tens of millions every year, plus additional bonuses and such.

Their annual income is in the tens of millions.

With that level of income, he could have any cat he wanted.

All I can say is that Lao Tian is a nostalgic person.

Yes, choosing to marry his adopted sister, with whom he grew up, also proves this point.

"Let me tell you, I'm temporarily leaving it with you. I still own Ao Bai. If I'm taking a break, I'm going to take it to my place and play with it for a few days."

Qi Hao was genuinely reluctant to part with it.

"Don't worry, I can sign a contract with you. I'll lease Ao Bai for ninety-nine years..."

Lao Tian was very cooperative.

"piss off……"

Qi Hao packed up several boxes, and he and Lao Tian carried them into the car one by one.

We didn't have much stuff, so we didn't hire a moving company.

Celebrities prioritize privacy when they live in their homes.

Qi Hao couldn't guarantee that no one knew the location of his house, but he would try his best to minimize the number of people who knew.

An Feng helped carry some small items.

As for the books that are most important to Qi Hao, he has already memorized the ones he has read, so there is no need to take them with him.

The study in the courtyard house has purchased a new batch of books.

Li Xiaomeng helped with all of this.

Even though she made the contact, no one knew that Qi Hao lived in that courtyard house.

Upon arriving at his new home, Qi Hao treated Lao Tian to a meal.

Qi Hao personally cooked several dishes.

"The place is really nice, but are there any mosquitoes?"

Old Tian was very envious of Qi Hao's courtyard house.

This place might not be very comfortable to live in all the time, but staying there occasionally is absolutely wonderful.

Especially when it rains, you can sit in the pavilion and watch the water droplets fall to the ground.

Or, when it snows, gather around a stove and brew tea.

Who doesn't dream of owning a traditional courtyard house?

"It was done by professionals. Those plants have mosquito-repelling effects, and there are also a few incense burners so you can light some custom-made mosquito-repelling incense."

Since Qi Hao chose to move here, he must have considered this issue.

This yard has trees and water features, so naturally there are mosquitoes. It's good enough if we can reduce them; completely eliminating them would be a huge challenge.

However, Qi Hao and An Feng came several times and were not bitten.

Mosquitoes may lose their vitality after being exposed to mosquito-repelling plants and aromatherapy.

"How pleasant, Anfeng. I'm entrusting Qi Hao to you now, so don't mistreat him..."

Old Tian had many feelings to share.

He had noticed Qi Hao's interest in An Feng a long time ago.

It wasn't obvious at the time, and Qi Hao didn't seem to be taking any action, so he didn't interfere and fully respected Qi Hao's privacy.

Men all like beautiful women, and it's perfectly normal for them to admire them.

As long as you don't commit a crime, it's fine.

"Why don't you take him with you? You two can live together. I can manage on my own here."

An Feng couldn't bear to ruin things for the two of them.
