Chapter 707: The Meaning of Duan Xiaochen’s Life
"This is the latest box office summary," Han Yi handed a printed A4 paper to Du Caige, and sat down in front of him, "Movie Time has just quietly adjusted its final box office expectations for 'Wulin', and now it thinks Our domestic box office can exceed 1.5 billion.”
This is a bit scary.
After all, the gold content of the currency of the Azure Star Dahua Country is a little higher than that on Earth.
The purchasing power of the 1.5 billion Chinese yuan here is almost equivalent to the 3.7 billion yuan in the same period on the earth.
So what is the highest box office record in the country in 2010 on Earth?
Let’s not talk about 2010, that’s really bullying children. In 2014, the total box office of the annual box office champion "Transformers 4" was 2 billion.
The box office is restricted by many factors. Even if all the theaters in the country give you a very high schedule, the total number of screens in the country is limited.
In a certain era, no matter how high the box office is, there is a limit.
"Transformers 4" is already hot enough. As a popcorn movie, it is quite qualified, and the visual effects are very good, so many people are willing to pay for its special effects.
The first day of filming got 55%, and the highest filming got 57%, which is already a filming rate that is impossible for most movies.
You know, in 2018, Tang Detective 2, which had a box office of 3.4 billion, had only about 25% of the first-day and highest-ranked films.
Of course, at that time, the total number of screens in China had reached 60,000, three times that of 2014.
After a little calculation, Du Caige can come to a conclusion, "1.5 billion? Then our film schedule must reach more than 45% as soon as possible."
"We will negotiate with the theaters. They won't let their money go! Although some people thought carefully before and wanted to prevent the rise of Chasing Dream," Han Yi smiled beautifully, " But after Mr. Yan acquired Warner Pictures, everyone can see that the rise of Chasing Dream Huyu is already unstoppable. Instead of trying to stop it, it is better to sell well and cooperate more deeply in the future. After all, in this era, It is impossible to monopolize the film and television industry, so it is better for everyone to cooperate to make the cake bigger and make money separately."
Du Caige glanced at her in surprise, "Your vision is different now."
"Of course, I'm not stupid. You gave me such a good position for me to practice, of course I have to grow!" Han Yi said happily.
Du Caige smiled,
Continue to look down at the printing paper she handed over.
As of 6:00 p.m., the first-day box office of "Wulin" has reached 160 million.
You know, there will be a wave of movie viewing peaks at night, and there are several theaters that line up most of the "Wulin" films at night.
Of course, many tickets for the evening show have already been pre-sold.
So, box office growth won't be much.
But it is really hopeful that it will break through 200 million.
"The relevant media has been terrified," Han Ye said hesitantly. "Frankly speaking, we ourselves are a little bit terrified. No matter whether it is a domestic film or an imported film, there has never been a movie in the history of our country that reached 200 million on its first day. .So far, the highest first-day box office record is the Hollywood sci-fi blockbuster 'Doomsday Crisis' introduced the year before last, which was only 160 million. And we have already broken its record."
Du Caige said in a flat tone, "Then you also have to look at the total number of screens in our country the year before last. It got 160 million box office the year before last, which is more valuable than 'Wulin' which got 200 million box office today. In the future, the box office of the movie will continue to break records."
Han Yi stuck out her tongue, "I don't think they have a high gold content. Their box office on the first day was 160 million, which is 62% of the first day's film schedule. Although some theaters communicated with us today, our film schedule has temporarily increased. Some, but still less than 40%! Our attendance rate is much higher than that of 'Doomsday Crisis'."
Du Caige just smiled and didn't respond.
Of course, the pride and joy in his heart will never be less than that of Han Yi.
Only more.
After all, making movies is something he likes to do and is good at.
This is the area where he most craves recognition.
When it comes to making movies, he breaks one record after another and wins praises from people. This is a peak experience that cannot be brought to him no matter how many songs he copied or relocated.
"Okay, it's getting late, you go to rest early."
"What about you?" Han Yi looked at the faint scratches on Du Caige's right cheek, "Are you okay?"
Du Caige's face darkened, "What can I do? Don't worry about it."
Han Yi stuck out her tongue and taunted without malice, "How cool it is to step on a few boats, and the backlash after being exposed is so painful. If you have no place to go at night, I can lend you a room. "
Du Caige's face darkened, "Get out, do you ever talk to the boss like this?"
Han Yi let out a series of coquettish smiles, "I'm comforting you, boss!"
"I think you are gloating!"
"It seems that my acting skills are still too bad, and my true thoughts are exposed so easily."
In private, Han Yi always gets along with Du Caige as a friend.
She is a smart girl, knowing that this will make her really close to Du Caige's inner circle.
With black lines all over his forehead, Du Caige quickly crumpled up the printing paper and threw it at Han Yi.
Han Yi quickly dodged, smiled and got up and ran to the door, "It's fine if you don't appreciate it, I won't accompany you anymore, bye!"
Du Caige lowered his head with a wry smile, his originally handsome face looked wrinkled and full of sorrow.
...
"Actually, I regret it too. I shouldn't have done that. You know, I already knew about his bad things, and I was mentally prepared to face them. But at that time, in front of so many acquaintances, I was suddenly called out One thing, I was really embarrassed to step down, and felt very ashamed. So I got hotheaded, grabbed him, and hit him a few times." Duan Xiaochen said with a sad face.
Chen Quan took some time off and nodded with a smile, "It's understandable for you to react too aggressively when encountering such a thing."
After a pause, she asked: "These are not important anymore. The important thing is, now that you are standing at a crossroads, how do you go next, have you thought about it?"
"I just came here to ask for help because I didn't think about it, hey," Duan Xiaochen sighed heavily, "I had a draft before, and when he told me, how should I respond, what conditions should I make with him, I have everything. I thought about it. But now it suddenly became like this, completely disrupting my plan."
Chen Quan squinted and smiled, with fine wrinkles showing at the corners of his eyes, "I asked you before, but you didn't tell me what your plans are. Can you tell me now? I'm not asking out of curiosity. I want to work with you to seriously think about whether we can make adjustments to the original plan to help you deal with the current situation."
"I understand." Duan Xiaochen hesitated for a moment, looked up at Chen Quan quickly, then lowered his head humbly, and said hesitantly, "Actually, I am actually afraid that you will scold me."
Chen Quan sighed lightly, and smiled again: "We have worked together for so long, I think you should be very clear, I will never make any comments on you, I will not say that what you did is right, what you do is wrong Wrong, you are not good in this way, you are not good in that way, are you?"
"Well, yes." Duan Xiaochen nodded vigorously.
"But you still dare not tell me, because you are still afraid of being scolded by me. In fact, this means that you can't pass your own test, so you subconsciously think that I will definitely not support your plan, right?"
After a moment of astonishment, Duan Xiaochen quickly nodded twice, "Probably so. In fact, I am also very unwilling, but there is no other way."
"To use a crude analogy, it's like I have to choose between eating a piece of shit-flavored chocolate or eating a piece of chocolate-flavored shit."
Chen Quan said softly: "These two choices are not good, but you can always choose to withdraw and leave, and you don't have to force yourself to make binary choices."
Duan Xiaochen closed her eyes, but her beautiful red lips twitched slightly, showing that her heart was not at peace. "Mr. Chen Quan, you are wrong. You think I can choose to leave, but I can't."
"It's not impossible, I don't want to."
"I can't," Duan Xiaochen opened his eyes, "It's like fish can't live without water, just like plants can't live without sunlight."
Chen Quan was silent for a long time before saying: "They are all adults, no one has to depend on anyone to live."
"It's not attachment...Mr. Chen Quan, I remember you said something before. People are not born with meaning. The universe made humans appear, but in fact it didn't arrange what humans must achieve, or what great goals to accomplish .”
"So, if you want to find the meaning of life, you're just trying to find the meaning of life. It's impossible to find it. Because the meaning of life doesn't exist at all."
Duan Xiaochen's eyes were unfocused, as if he was immersed in thinking, and continued to repeat Chen Quan's words, "You say, but people can work hard to create, develop, and set a meaning. What you set is not for others. It may be worthless, but it is worth your lifelong pursuit, and it is the meaning of life that belongs only to you.”
Chen Quan nodded slowly.
Duan Xiaochen smiled brightly: "I used to feel that my world was gloomy, and I even felt that it doesn't matter anymore. Anyway, life has no meaning, only pain. Until I met him."
"He is handsome and talented. With a romantic surface, he hides his clumsiness and kindness. He made me a better me."
"He wrote songs for me, hired teachers for me, taught me to avoid traps, and helped me stop the greedy eyes that coveted me. He did a lot for me, but he never asked me for anything in return."
"Perhaps for him, these are simple things that can be done with a single palm. But without him, I would definitely not be able to do it myself."
"I asked him why he wanted to help me and he told me he just thought my voice was beautiful and wanted it to be heard by the world."
"Before I met him, I had nothing."
"After meeting him, I felt like I had everything."
"When I found out, I realized that before I knew it, I had already set him as the meaning of my life. And it couldn't be changed anymore."
"So, Teacher Chen Quan, how can I leave him?"
