At this moment, Xiao Yunling rushed in from the courtyard and asked, "Grandpa, Dad, Mom, which one of you is going to watch Big Brother's new movie? Sister Wan Qing said that she can leave me five tickets and introduce me to many big stars. Oh my god, I'm so excited. "
Looking at the excited Xiao Yunling, Xiao Leshan laughed and said, "Ling'er, are you going to chase after stars?"
Xiao Yunling said, "Of course. My favorite Heavenly King Ye Yongren is there, and there will definitely be many other stars that day. I must get their autographs. "
Xiao Leshan asked, "Aren't your big brother and sister-in-law the big stars of Hua Xia? Why don't you chase after them? "
Xiao Yunling snorted and said, "I'm too familiar with them, and there's no novelty at all. What's the point of chasing them? Tell me, are you going or not? "
Chen Xiuzhu teased and said, "You should take your own one. We won't be your big light bulb. "
When Xiao Yunling heard this, her face immediately turned red. She said shyly, "Mom, did Big Brother tell you?"
Chen Xiuzhu said, "So what if he did?"
Xiao Yunling stomped her feet, gritted her teeth and said, "I told him not to tell you. Hmph, he didn't keep his word, I won't forgive him."
Chen Xiuzhu laughed and said, "Your big brother said a lot of good things about Little Zhang to me. If you go find trouble with him because of this, wouldn't it be inappropriate?"
Xiao Yunling said happily, "So, you agree to the matter between Zhang Yuan and me?"
"In your dreams." Xiao Changfeng said with a long face, "How old are you, and you want to fall in love with someone. How preposterous."
Xiao Yunling snorted and said, "Big Brother liked Liang Qianqian in high school. I'm three or four years later than him, okay? Besides, when my big brother and Sister Wan Qing were dating, weren't they also in university? Hmph, otherwise, where could he find such a beautiful and gentle wife like Sister Wan Qing? "
"You …"
Chen Xiuzhu pulled Xiao Changfeng's sleeves and shook her head as she said, "Ling-er, when can you bring her out and let us meet her?"
Xiao Yunling narrowed her eyes and said, "Mom, you're not trying to break us up, are you? Let me tell you first. Big Brother and Sister Wan Qing think he's good. Zhang Yuan is now helping my brother with the 3D special effects technology. Once he succeeds, he'll be a multimillionaire. I won't starve. "
Chen Xiuzhu rolled her eyes and said, "Your brother is a billionaire now. Do you think I'll let your precious sister starve? I just wanted to see how he was doing. As long as he's honest, responsible, and dotes on others, I won't object to your relationship. "
Xiao Yunling said, "That's great. Thank you, Mother. If there's a chance in the future, I'll bring Zhang Yuan over. I'm going to treat my friends to a movie. "
Xiao Leshan said with a smile, "Ling 'er is so cute."
At 3 PM on February 16th, Zhao Wanqing, Liang Hui, Ye Yongren, and Huang Qiusheng arrived at Yanjing International Airport. Xiao Yunhai's plane was about to arrive.
Originally, Xiao Yunhai was not going to attend the premiere of Infernal Affairs in Hua Xia.
But the Minister of Culture, Cao Huaqian, was going to come. As the director, Xiao Yunhai would not be there.
Therefore, after getting a call from Zhao Wanqing, Xiao Yunhai finished his business in the United States as quickly as possible and then rushed back.
At 3: 10 PM, Xiao Yunhai walked out of the airport.
Li Bing and Sima Qian hurried to greet him. They took his luggage from him and took him to the car.
Seeing everyone inside, Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "Why are all the teachers here? I'm a little flattered. "
Liang Hui smiled and said, "Anyway, we have nothing to do in the hotel. It's good to go out for a walk. Yunhai, how's it going in the United States? "
Xiao Yunhai said, "No problem. Because of the time difference, they're screening six hours later than us. Teachers, you've worked hard these days. I heard that you've been to many cities. I'm really sorry. "
Huang Qiusheng joked, "Then prepare a big red envelope for us. Haha, Infernal Affairs only took three days to get 1.3 billion yuan in the Asian box office. Such a result made me wake up laughing several times in my sleep. "
Ye Yongren also said excitedly, "The box office of Infernal Affairs in Asian countries can bring us at least 2.5 billion yuan, not to mention Hua Xia. Our film has already become the most recommended film by the Ministry of Culture. Not only has it appeared on the news, even the Minister of Culture has personally come to the cinema to support us. With the help of other directors and celebrities, with such momentum, perhaps' Infernal Affairs' will create a miracle in the country. The only thing I'm not sure about is the North American cinema chains. What I'm most afraid of is not acclimatizing. "
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "Teacher Ye, don't worry about that. Our movie doesn't have any understanding problems. After these days of publicity, Infernal Affairs has a strong influence in the United States. MGM Grand, Warner, Universal, Paramount, and Disney have given us a total of 5,600 screens. If the attendance is good, the number of screens will skyrocket. It'll be enough for us. Haha, in order for Infernal Affairs to achieve good results in the North American cinema chains, I've invested 120 million US dollars in publicity alone. "
"120 million US dollars?" Liang Hui said with a shocked face, "You're really ruthless."
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "If you can't bear to part with your child, you won't find the wolf."
Huang Qiusheng asked, "Then how much do you think the North American box office will be?"
Xiao Yunhai thought for a while and said, "My bottom line is 1.5 billion US dollars."
Ye Yongren punched himself in the palm of his hand and said, "Alright, it's another 《Elite Martial Heroes》."
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "There's something even better. I'm going to use this movie to apply for next year's Oscars. There won't be any problems with it being nominated. As for the award, haha, who knows, there might really be a Best Actor or Best Supporting Actor among the four of us. "
Liang Hui shook his head and said with a bitter smile, "It'll be very difficult. Old Ye and I have been nominated for the Best Actor Oscar, but the results were very disappointing. It's fine if we're not as good as others, but I heard from a Chinese friend that the Oscar judges are biased against Hua Xia actors. It's basically impossible to beat those European and American actors. "
Ye Yongren sighed and said, "I've also heard about that. Unless we become American citizens."
Xiao Yunhai sneered and said, "Selling out your country for a stupid trophy? What kind of joke is that? I look down on people like that the most. "
The few of them nodded at the same time.
Zhao Wanqing said, "Alright, this topic is too heavy. Let's discuss how to welcome the guests. I've received a notice that there will be many people coming today. "
Xiao Yunhai had already expected this situation.
Since the Minister of Culture, Cao Huaqian, was coming to watch the movie, the other leaders of the Ministry of Culture, the leaders of the Film and Television Bureau, and the CEOs of the film and television companies would definitely come to accompany him. Whether you're willing or not, you have to come. Otherwise, you're not on the same side as the leaders, and the consequences can be imagined.
Xiao Yunhai asked, "How are we preparing?"
Zhao Wanqing said, "There will definitely be a carpet show. In order to save time, a few celebrities will come together, and we'll welcome them on the other side of the carpet. Whoever knows them will go. If no one knows them, Hubby, then only you, the director, can go. "
"Our movie theater for the premiere is very large and can accommodate 400 people at the same time, so there won't be any problems. After watching the movie, don't forget to invite Minister Cao Huaqian to speak. There's nothing else. "
Xiao Yunhai nodded and said, "Alright, I understand."
