Perfect Life

Monday, February 15, early morning.

It wasn't a good night's sleep.

When Li Qian woke up, he faintly felt a headache.

When he went to bed last night, it was less than ten o'clock, so he was supposed to have a good night's sleep, but his mind was full of thoughts, Zhou Concubine around him had been asleep for a long time, and he finally fell asleep hazy. And that night, all kinds of dreams came in one after another, making it difficult for people to sleep well.

He opened his eyes and looked left and right. After a long time, Li Qian felt that he was gradually awake.

Inside and outside the room, it was still pitch black.

After his eyes gradually adjusted to the light in the room, he fumbled to find his phone and checked the time, it was just five o'clock!

Turning her head to look beside her, Zhou Concubine was having a good dream.

Not only was his breathing steady and long, but there seemed to be a sweet smile on his face.

She has gained weight recently. It seems that the child in her stomach suddenly gave her the best reason to eat. Especially in the past six months, Li Qian has witnessed little by little how she has changed from less than 90 pounds to 100 pounds. Ten pounds!

The heater in the room was so hot that it made you wake up feeling a little thirsty.

The quilt that was placed on Zhou Hao's body had a breathtaking curve bulge - there, was their child, a small life that had already taken shape.

There's still about a month left, and it's about to fall to the ground.

Li Qian leaned on his side and looked at Zhou Hao, the smile on her face, and the high bulge in her abdomen that propped up the quilt.

The sight seemed to startle her.

She opened her eyes suddenly and looked over in a daze.

In the darkness, Li Qian smiled, leaned in and kissed her, and whispered, "Go to sleep, go to sleep, it's still early!"

Zhou Ai murmured twice, but couldn't hear what she said. She seemed to want to lean over to her side, but her belly has been getting bigger and bigger recently, which has brought great trouble to her daily life. Embarrassed and not too daring to move, Li Qian stretched out his arm, patted her shoulder gently, and reassured: "Sleep, sleep!"

Zhou Ai stretched out her hand and hugged her arm, her eyes blinked a few times, and then they closed in a powerless manner. She opened her lips a few times, and seemed to murmur a few words, but before she completely woke up, she was already awake. Because he hugged that arm, he fell asleep again.

When she fell asleep, Li Qian smiled, carefully pulled out his arm, and then gently helped her put the exposed arm under the quilt, leaned over and kissed her face, then leaned over again, Putting on the quilt, he kissed the bulge of her lower abdomen, then turned over and got up.

Then, another new day began.

Brush your teeth, wash your face, get dressed, drink a glass of water, take a break, go out for a run, exercise, and punch.

Not only was it dark before dawn, the sky seemed gloomy too.

There are no stars and no moon in the sky.

The main street lights in the villa community have been extinguished, and there are only a few yellow lights left at the corners of a few intersections.

Li Qian was jogging in the community wearing a thin sports suit.

The villa that is currently arranged for Zhou Hao to live in is a batch that Qi Jie and Huang Wenjuan bought for him when he was considering investment before. . Later, Zhou Ai became pregnant. Li Qian didn't want her to be disturbed by the reporters or cause any news gossip, so he moved Zhou Ai and let her live here.

The villa area is not too big, and it looks like forty-five buildings together. It is not comparable to the villa area where the large villa where he and Wang Jinglu are currently living.

Even jogging, twenty minutes is enough to walk around the villa.

The body slowly warmed up, and the sky seemed to start to light up little by little.

In the center of the villa area, there is a small artificial lake.

There was no one around, and the sky was hazy.

After a period of jogging, he felt that his heart gradually became more stable. Li Qian forced his heart to calm down even more and slowly punched by the lake.

After the two punches, he was already sweating.

At this time, the sky is really starting to light up.

When I walked back slowly, my body was very hot, but my heart really calmed down.

It seems that even those disturbing hints in the dream are gradually disappearing as the mood stabilizes and improves.

Yes, today is Monday, and last week's domestic movie box office charts will be announced in a few hours.

This is his first personal attempt at the film industry in this time and space, and now, it is about to know the box office of the film in the first week - if the analogy is forced, maybe this should be regarded as an entrance exam?

He doesn't want to fail, and even, because he has such a huge advantage of prophets and the advantage of template borrowing, not only does he not accept failure, he even demands that he must win in his heart!

And even more beautiful!

Otherwise, he will feel sorry for the name "My Sassy Girl"!

And that movie in the back of my mind!

Although in fact, the directors are different, the actors are different, and the social background of the film is also different, so that the two films are already inconsistent in many places.

On the way back home, Li Qian couldn't help but think: Actually, there is no need to worry.

The day before yesterday, yesterday, and on Friday, February 13th, the survey data sent by the survey company, including the film scheduling rate and attendance rate in various places, all reflected that the first week of "My Sassy Girl", You can definitely get a pretty good result.

It's just that, when things come to an end, even if it is him, even if he has had countless successes, even if he knows the quality of this movie very well in his heart, he also knows how well it will sell in another time and space, but, In the past few days, he still couldn't help but worry.

Even when I was recording Liao Liao in the past few days, I often lost my mind.

Maybe... it's because the box office in the first week is too important!

…………

When Li Qian got up, the sound of walking around the room and opening the door had already awakened the nanny. When Li Qian returned from exercising, Zhou Hao hadn't woken up yet, but the nanny had already made breakfast.

Li Qian took a bath, ate something briefly, and told Zhou Ai to wake up later, and then he went out and drove to the company.

When he arrived downstairs in the company, it was not even seven o'clock!

However, when the elevator came to the eighth floor, Li Qian got out of the elevator, but was stunned to find that several main lights in the office area on the eighth floor were turned on!

Of course the office area was empty.

The security guard was still dozing off. He looked up when he heard the movement, but saw Li Qian and quickly stood up to say hello, "Mr. Li, good morning!"

Li Qian was a little stunned at this time and nodded, "Good morning! ... Who is there?"

The security guard said: "Mr. Qi!"

After a pause, he said again: "I'll be here at a little after six!"

Li Qian nodded and pursed his lips slightly as he stepped into the door.

…………

"I couldn't sleep, so I just got up. Anyway, I have nothing to do, so I came to the company to deal with the things that I didn't finish yesterday." Qi Jie brought Li Qian a cup of coffee, then sat down beside him and asked with a smile : "Why are you here so early? Can't sleep?"

Li Qian smiled and shrugged, "I'm... okay!"

Yes, it can only be considered good.

To the layman's point of view, as a director, a group of big stars is arbitrarily placed at the mercy of a group of stars, and as a star, they are star-studded wherever they go, but they don't know that the more they go up, the more power and glory they enjoy, they have to bear the corresponding huge Stress - this kind of pressure can even crush a very strong person in many cases!

Therefore, a person who usually treats people with gentleness and elegance is likely to be extremely irritable on the set!

So, a well-recognized tough guy on the screen might cry at some point!

Therefore, a big star who will take the trouble to sign autographs for them with a smile and take photos with them in front of fans and movie fans may at some point yell at the staff around him, showing no grace at all!

It's not hypocrisy and performance in public, nor is it some grumpy in private, in fact, many times, it's probably just because of too much pressure!

So big that people can't control themselves!

"My Sassy Girl" is undoubtedly an excellent commercial film, whether it is the version in another time and space, or the current version directed by Li Qian, there is no doubt about it.

However, time and space are different, people's sentiments are different, concepts are different, trends are different, and even the movies themselves are already different.

Li Qian was both confident and unsure.

Especially at such a time, when he can only wait patiently for the result to come out, or even wait for the market to judge him, he will also be anxious.

But fortunately, the closer to this moment, he gradually calmed down.

But Qi Jie seemed to be so stressed that it was difficult to control the situation.

The busyness of the week, the uneasy sleep and sleep this week, made her look a little thin, her face was not very good, and she had a little dark circles under her eyes.

However, at this time, any comfort is useless.

Li Qian knew that, whether it was himself or Qi Jie, all he needed was the transcript.

When the report card comes out, whether it’s good or bad, this anxious mentality will soon be relieved.

So, he sat there, lit a cigar, smoked slowly, took a cup from time to time to take a sip of bitter coffee, and occasionally raised his head to see Qi Jie sitting behind his desk and handling things calmly, But it didn't give her any comfort at this time.

They just waited patiently.

Of course, in such an early morning, there are still many people who have trouble sleeping and eating, and they all get up early in the morning almost at the same time, absent-mindedly doing the things that they usually do every day.

Get up, wash, get dressed, smoke, etc.

Then wait patiently or anxiously for a result.

In my heart, I have some vague speculations and feelings, but I don't know what will happen in the end.

This morning, in a hotel in Chengdu, Lu Ping was like this.

In a hotel in Yingtianfu, Zheng Yuan did the same.

The unprecedented Valentine's Day schedule will certainly make every film in this schedule a big hit, but everyone hopes that they will be the one who gets the most!

The sky is bright.

The sky is bright.

The streets began to be full of traffic.

The streets started to get crowded.

It's eight o'clock.

It's half past eight.

It's nine o'clock.

People are starting to come to the company.

The voices of greeting came one after another.

Lu Min arrived at 8:40, knocked on the door and went in, and saw the two big bosses sitting silently in the room.

Mr. Qi was approving documents, but he didn't read one for a long time, which was different from the usual ten lines in one eye.

Mr. Li was smoking a cigar, and the smoke in the house was heavy, but in the ashtray, there was a cigar that had already been smoked to the end—the one in his hand was actually the second one he smoked!

Lu Min didn't dare to say a word. After saying hello, he silently opened the window to let out the smoke, helped Qi Jie tidy up the desk, changed Li Qian a cup of coffee, and then silently backed out. .

After nine o'clock, Li Qian couldn't sit still, and said, "I'll go to my room to write some manuscripts!" Then, after throwing away his half-smoked cigar, he got up and left the room.

When the door was closed, Qi Jie was slightly relieved.

Finally... at 9:41, the Propaganda Department called immediately. On the official website of the National Film Industry Association, prior to today's newspaper, the box office data for the previous week was given!

Qi Jie quickly opened the website and clicked on the first column of the website with the bright red title "February 9th - February 15th Movie Box Office Ranking"!

At first glance, she was stunned for a moment, and then the whole person quickly breathed a sigh of relief!

Then, a strange brilliance suddenly appeared on her face!

She look, look, look!

For three full minutes, it seemed that even the eyeballs had never moved in the slightest, and the eyelashes had not blinked, just staring at the first line of data, looking and looking!

Lu Min knocked on the door and came in.

It turned out that the Propaganda Department had already downloaded the data and printed it out.

With the reminder of the knock on the door, Qi Jiecai seemed to have come back to his senses, his eyes quickly glanced down on the computer screen, and then got up to take the printed ranking list, and while walking out, he casually ordered. : "Print one more copy and paste it in the office area! In addition, call Mr. Jin, Manager Han, Director Lu, and Zhou Zhiyu, He Yingyu and the others!"

While talking, she kept her feet on her feet and quickly left the room.

Behind her, Lu Min excitedly agreed, and as soon as she left, he went back to his desk and picked up the phone!

At this time, Qi Jie had already walked to the door of Li Qian's art director's office in three or two steps.

Li Qian, who was standing in a daze in front of the window with his back to the door, suddenly turned around!

"How about it?"

Qi Jie smiled, raised the document in her hand, and said with a smile, "Are you sure you don't want to read it yourself?"

…………

In Xi'an Mansion, led by Han Shunzhang, in addition to Zhou Zhiyu and He Yingyu, the two male and female protagonists, the agency department, the publicity department, and the distribution department also sent an outgoing publicity team to accompany them, waiting in the building of SHANXI Satellite TV—— Everyone also got up very early. Even He Yingyu, who usually likes to sleep in late, didn't wait for the call today, and got up before seven o'clock.

At this moment, everyone looked absent-minded.

Then, Han Shunzhang's cell phone rang suddenly.

He quickly took out his phone and glanced at it, raised his head, met everyone's attention, and said, "It's from President Qi's office, it's probably Lu Min!"

Without waiting for others to speak, He Yingyu was refreshed and said, "Hurry up and pick it up!"

…………

Shuntianfu, Minghu Culture Company, 8th floor.

Li Qian took the document, and before he could read it, there was a sudden loud cheer from outside!

"Long live the boss!"

Li Qian was taken aback for a while, Qi Jie looked at him with a smile, and said, "Look! Look at what I'm doing, look at the rankings!"

Li Qian swallowed and lowered his head.

The leaderboard table is printed out sideways on a piece of A4 paper.

first row--

Title: "My Sassy Girl"

Producer: Minghu Culture Co., Ltd.

Issuer: Minghu Culture Co., Ltd.

Director: Li Qian

Starring: Zhou Zhiyu, He Yingyu, etc.

Release date: 2001.02.10

Number of days in theaters: 6

Box office this week: 48.16 million

Box office rank: 1

Li Qian was stunned for a while.

…………

When the call was connected, Han Shunzhang just said "hello", and then he was completely stunned.

The mouth is slightly open, and the eyes are extremely empty!

He is usually more serious and is not the kind of person who can laugh with others, so at this time, even the most naughty and carefree He Yingyu didn't dare to lean in and listen.

After the call was over, the phone left the ear, and everyone heard two consecutive "beeps", indicating that the call had been hung up on the other side.

Lu Lingxi asked him, "Is it the box office? How much? How many?...Speak!"

Han Shunzhang came back to his senses, but still looked a little sluggish, with an expression and tone that even he couldn't believe, and said suspiciously: "Number one? More than 48 million?"

"what?"

Lu Lingxi was shocked when he heard the words!

It's hard to say anything else, and it's not easy to compare the time too long, but at least the box office data of the recently released movies, even Lu Lingxi has repeatedly learned about it, and almost all of them can be memorized!

Just less than two months ago, on December 23, Zhao Meicheng's New Year's blockbuster "Let's Talk About a Big Business" was officially released. In the film market at that time, all the films had to make way for his film, and all the cinemas had to make way for it. Lines and cinemas, both come up with as many canvases as possible, and give him the largest screening hall! This makes his opening canvases as high as more than 2,600 pieces, and the film arrangement rate is even more unparalleled!

And his first-week box office was 42.74 million!

On the other hand, the canvas for "My Sassy Girl" was only a little over 1,000 yuan, and it is said that the attendance rate a few days ago was average, at least not too high. Although after repeated adjustments, the canvas has also increased to more than 1,700 yuan. Now, the filming rate has also increased. It is said that the attendance rate on the weekends is also quite good, but...

Forty-eight million!

Even if Lu Lingxi is the assistant director of this movie, even if she expects this movie to hit the box office more than anyone else, but at this moment, hearing this data, she still can't help subconsciously shouting in her heart. A sentence: "How is it possible!"

I was bored while waiting for the show. Together with Han Shunzhang, she has repeatedly deduced the box office. Based on the canvas, the number of screenings and other approximate data, the two of them probably estimated that the weekend will be three days, and "My Sassy Girl" will probably have 20 million to 25 million box office.

Later, they received the survey data sent by the company and learned that the attendance rate was abnormally high. They were excited to adjust the data forecast to 25 million to 30 million!

In other words, with the box office of more than 5.4 million in the first three working days of this week, "My Sassy Girl" broke 30 million at the box office in the first week, which is not a big problem!

And their inner expectations for the movie's box office in the first week is to hope to exceed 35 million!

At that time, even if it is a fight with "Escape Hero"!

But...more than 48 million!

The two looked at each other with disbelief flashes in each other's eyes.

However, at this time, Zhou Zhiyu, He Yingyu, and several other staff members in the company didn't care about being on the TV station, and they cheered in surprise at that time!

Especially He Yingyu, like a crazy girl, jumping and jumping!

"First! First, we are first!"

Lu Lingxi had a slight smile on her face, but she quickly turned to look at Han Shunzhang, "This data shouldn't be wrong, right?"

Han Shunzhang was a little dumbfounded, "Lu Min said he read it from the official website of the Film Industry Association!"

Lu Lingxi nodded and seemed to be thinking about something, but in fact, at this moment, her mind was completely blank!

After a while, a stone seemed to be thrown into the calm lake. On her face, a smile appeared from the corner of her eyebrows, and then the smile expanded rapidly.

"We are number one? 48 million?" She asked Han Shunzhang with a smile, but suppressed it.

Han Shunzhang nodded, and seemed to be coming back to his senses—the official data was such a big thing, how could they possibly make mistakes in this kind of thing!

"It's 48 million! We are No. 1! The box office in the first week, No. 1!"

Lu Lingxi took a deep breath and let it out slowly!

Then, she clenched her fists fiercely, "Yeah!"

And at this moment, the smile on Han Shunzhang's face suddenly burst out like a river breaking a **** - his face suddenly became red after drinking, and the blue veins on his forehead were faintly highlighted.

"Yeah! Ah!"

He couldn't help roaring, and he couldn't help shouting!

At this moment, all the staff of SHANXI Satellite TV who heard the news rushed over here curiously, and their faces were full of surprise!

But at this moment, even the mature and calm like Han Shunzhang, graceful and generous like a deer and a rhinoceros, can no longer restrain his inner ecstasy!

They clenched their fists tightly, they yelled, they jumped and jumped!

Forty-eight million!

That's forty-eight million!

…………

At this moment, at this moment ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ in Minghu Culture, the cheers, whistles and shouting from the office area outside have completely filled the eighth floor headquarters of Minghu Culture!

In Li Qian's office, it was almost exactly the same as Qi Jie just now. Li Qian was also stupidly staring at the first row of data that belonged to him, his eyes fixed, and he looked and looked!

At this moment, let alone pay attention to the data of the second place, he doesn't even have the intention to take a look at who the second place is!

Because... that's 48 million!

He raised his head and looked away from the report, as if he wanted to ask something.

And it happened that at this moment, Lu Min knocked on the door, and without waiting for a response from the inside, he took the initiative to open the door, and his face was red with excitement, and even his voice seemed to be a few degrees higher, but he just said excitedly: "Mr. Li, Mr. Qi, I have called to confirm, and the Film Industry Association said that the data is correct!"

Li Qian was stunned for a moment, and then he finally smiled slowly.

At this moment, his smile was as innocent as a child's!

***

A chapter of more than 6,000 characters! It's two in one! The debt has been repaid for one chapter, and there is still one chapter left, and one chapter of the leader will be added!

Then, I pushed a book called "Black Card". During the annual meeting, I discussed it with many great gods. Everyone recognized that this was the hottest and best-looking new book recently, so I would recommend it to everyone.

Attached an introduction:

A mysterious black card will issue a different amount every week. Shi Lei must consume all the amount within a week, otherwise, he will meet the punishment of the black card.

"Spending money is really physical labor" - Shi Lei said.

"Set a small goal first, for example, spend 100 million on it first..." - Shi Lei said smugly.

"The thing I regret the most in my life is that I have money that I can't spend, and I can't spend it if I don't spend it." - Shi Lei finally said. (To be continued.)
