Chapter 142 First Day Box Office: Old Guo is Not Honest
"Really?" Upon hearing this, Guo Fan immediately sat down next to Qi Hui, nervously glancing at the papers and phone in his hand.

Looking at the numbers above, Guo Fan was stunned. It really was true...

Holy crap? What's going on?

Qi Hui looked at Jing Tian; very few people around him could do this.

Needless to say, Lao Ling and Xiao Zhang are both actors and of course they couldn't do such a thing.

Wang Jinghua might be able to exert some influence on the publisher through her connections.

But Qi Hui isn't her son, so how could she possibly help him like this?
After thinking it over, I'm afraid only Jing Tian, ​​this little rich girl, could do it.

"Uh..." Faced with Qi Hui's question, the girl paused for a moment, then shook her head:

"No, if I were to do these things, I would definitely discuss it with you."

Qi Hui is her boyfriend, so of course she should ask for his opinion on anything.

Seeing Jing Tian's expression, Qi Hui was even more puzzled, stroking his chin in thought, somewhat perplexed.

Who is so kind as to help him and do a good deed anonymously?
Qi Hui and Guo Fan exchanged a glance and simultaneously uttered a name: "Han Sanping!"

"Chairman Han!"

For this bigwig, it's really just a matter of a word; it's perfectly reasonable for the distributor to give him face and increase the screening rate a bit.

However, it was ultimately just a polite gesture.

If the sequel to "Love is Not Blind" doesn't live up to expectations, then don't blame them for pulling it from the charts.

After all, this involves interests; blocking someone's path to wealth is like killing their parents.

The concept of "face" is not enough to make them give up their interests.

Actually, there was another reason that Qi Hui and Guo Fan didn't know:
That is, there are no strong competitors being released during this period.

If there are some Hollywood blockbusters or Hong Kong blockbusters, such as "Fast & Furious 5" and "Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides" which will be released next month, or "Transformers 3" which is coming in a few months, then...

If you encounter these situations, don't talk about saving face; even if it's your own son, it won't work!
Every little bit of money is hard-earned; only a fool would give the issuer any face.

Qi Hui roughly guessed what Han Dong had figured out, and was somewhat pleased, it seemed that he had caught Han Dong's eye.

But I also have a bit of a toothache... how can I thank you?
You can't exactly bring gifts when you visit someone, can you?

Wouldn't that be considered bribery?
After thinking it over, Qi Hui's gaze slowly fell on Guo Fan.

He felt there was only one gift he could give, and that was:

Guo Fan!

If I remember correctly, before time travel, Guo Degang only took over the "Wandering Earth" project because he was appreciated by Han Dong.

Because in Han Dong's view, Guo genuinely wanted to make science fiction films.

For Chairman Han, this is exactly the kind of person he needs.

Public intellectuals are always babbling on and on, saying that American science fiction movies are about the future.

China, on the other hand, can only immerse itself in the past, making period dramas based on outdated and corrupt history books—that's the past.

Therefore, China has no future; America is the beacon of the world.

These words are infuriating; one can't help but want to show them what it means to have one's entire family executed in those corrupt history books!

Moreover, Chinese films have had a difficult time going overseas, and for many years there has been a persistent lack of science fiction films.

In this regard, Chairman Han is under considerable pressure.

Therefore, for Chairman Han, Guo Fan is a rare talent.
Since that's the case... then we can only make things harder for Lao Guo, with his reputation... oh, no reputation.

It's me, Qi, enjoying the benefits again, hehehe...

Guo Fan felt a sudden chill run down his spine. He didn't know why, but he had a feeling that someone wanted to harm him!

"Senior brother, what are you thinking about?" Jing Tian asked, speechless, and whispered to Qi Hui, "You're smiling so evilly."

With Guo Fan and the other person both present, this has a very negative impact.

"Ah...cough cough, it's nothing, I was thinking about happy things." Qi Hui straightened his expression and coughed lightly as he spoke.

"Ha ha ha ha--"

"That's awesome! That's how you should talk back to him!"

"Good job, Wang Xiaojian! You're a real man!"

"Damn it, how could he let go of such a great girlfriend? That guy deserves to be roasted!"

Wow... Yang Mi looks so beautiful in her wedding dress!

Suddenly, cheers erupted in the theater. Qi Hui and the other three looked up and saw that it was the scene where Wang Xiaojian confronted Guo Jingfei and Yang Mi at the wedding.

This outburst allowed the female lead, Huang Xiaoxian, to vent all the anger she had been holding in.

The audience felt completely relaxed, letting out a long breath as if their breast nodules had been cleared! "When the time is right, heaven and earth lend a hand..." Qi Hui and Jing Tian exchanged a glance and chuckled softly.

Guo Fan held Guo's wife's hand, equally excited.

With high screening rates, high attendance, and strong promotion... could our movie really be a success?!
Before long, the movie ended, and the audience chatted and laughed as they left the theater, discussing the plot as they walked.

Qi Hui and his three companions slowly left, walking down the corridor, surrounded by several beautiful women in white dresses and black stockings.

Qi Hui glanced at it twice. University life was so good; he suddenly started to feel a little nostalgic...

"Do you think black stockings look good?" A voice suddenly rang out.

It wasn't Jing Tian, ​​but Guo Sao.

It wasn't said to Qi Hui, but to Guo Fan.

Old Guo was being dishonest; he was caught peeking.

"What?!" Old Guo said without changing his expression. "I was just wondering what it would be like if you wore that white dress?"

"Honey, it feels like it's been ages since I bought you a dress."

"Once the movie makes money, we'll improve our lives. Work and such are not as important as you!"

"Don't overwork yourself..." A gentle light appeared in Aunt Guo's eyes as she recalled Guo Fan's busy schedule recently. She said softly, "As long as we're together, I don't care how hard or tiring it is."

Old Guo breathed a slight sigh of relief; he had almost died!
Then, he quickly left with his partner, fearing that Qi Beihui would stab him.

This kid has a long criminal record, we absolutely can't give him a chance!

Then... the original group of four was reduced to just Qi Hui and Jing Tian.

Audi A6!

"Senior brother," Jing Tian asked casually, picking at his fingers as he sat in the passenger seat.

"Did you look good in those black stockings?"

Qi Hui tightened his grip on the steering wheel, but said without changing his expression, "I'm thinking, what kind of clothes look best on a girl?"

"Is it a very alluring pair of black stockings and a skirt?"

I don't think so!

"What is that?" Jing Tian asked Qi Hui with great interest.

Qi Hui said seriously, "I think girls look best in white T-shirts and slim-fitting blue jeans."

"Uh...why?" Jing Tian asked, puzzled. Wasn't that a very simple outfit?
"Because this is how you looked when I first met you," Qi Hui said softly, looking at Jing Tian.

Jing Tian was slightly taken aback, then bit her red lips lightly, her eyes sparkling, and ripples like autumn water appeared in her pupils.

……

Late at night, in Jing Tian's house

Qi Hui sat in front of the computer, glancing at his phone every now and then.

"Hey~ Senior Brother, why aren't you going back yet?" Jing Tian stood by the door, her flushed cheeks barely visible in the shadows.

"Waiting for the first day's box office results," Qi Hui said with a smile, waving his phone.

"Well, you wait here... I'm going to take a shower and then go to sleep," Jing Tian said, and quickly left.

"Okay, take a rest," Qi Hui said. "I'll lock the door for you later."

Time passed slowly, the night deepened, and all was quiet.

The only sounds in the house were the faint hum of electrical appliances running.

ding dong~
Just then, his phone beeped, and Qi Hui quickly opened the message.

The box office figures from the distributor on the first day were: 2014 million.

“Very good…” Qi Hui breathed a sigh of relief; this number was higher than he had expected.

He turned off his phone and computer, and slowly walked towards the master bedroom.

With a push, the door slowly opened; it was not locked.

They didn't even turn off the lights.

"Still not asleep?"

Jing Tian's pretty face flushed instantly: "What do you want to do?"

"The box office figures are out, aren't they?" Qi Hui said with a smile. "Let me tell you about them."

As he spoke, he locked the bedroom door and slowly walked to the bedside.
