Xiao Yunhai finished the review procedures for the movie, said goodbye to Wang Qiang, and drove away.
As soon as Xiao Yunhai left, Wang Qiang immediately made a phone call.
"Teacher Wang, Yun Huang just handed over the TV series' The Legend of the Condor Heroes' to our review department. Are you coming?"
"Brother Li, come quickly. I have 'The Legend of the Condor Heroes' to review."
"Teacher Zhang …"
After making a round of phone calls, Wang Qiang looked at the signature on the book and smiled happily. "Today is really my lucky day."
For the next two days, Xiao Yunhai stayed at home to write novels, while Zhao Wanqing was busy cleaning.
Xiao Yunhai originally wanted to find a housekeeper, but Zhao Wanqing insisted on cleaning herself. She said that this was the only way to feel like home, which made Xiao Yunhai speechless.
Fortunately, the villa was not dirty, otherwise, she would have been exhausted.
By February 27th, Xiao Yunhai's "Infernal Affairs" had been released in the Southeast Asian cinemas, and the total box office had reached 2.246 billion Hua Xia dollars.
The North American cinemas had also entered a state of survival. Perhaps because of the financial crisis, in just a week, "Infernal Affairs" had exhausted all its potential. At the end of the day, it was only a few million US dollars, but the total revenue was still more than 1.124 billion US dollars.
Because it was released later in other regions, it was not bad. It could make tens of millions of US dollars a day, and the total box office was more than 745 million US dollars.
In Hua Xia, although the popularity of "Infernal Affairs" had decreased, there were still many fans walking into the cinema. The box office was more than 100 million US dollars a day, and now it had accumulated to more than 3.6 billion US dollars.
As a result, the final box office of Xiao Yunhai's "Infernal Affairs" could reach 9.5 billion Hua Xia dollars.
Some experts believed that if it were not for the economic crisis, "Infernal Affairs" would very likely surpass "Martial Heroes".
The box office of "Valiant Heroes" back then was 4.9 billion USD. According to the exchange rate, it was almost 15 billion Hua Xia yuan.
Currently, the exchange rate between Hua Xia Yuan and USD was 1.8: 1. In other words, 9.5 billion Hua Xia Yuan was equivalent to 5.2 billion USD. It had completely surpassed Martial Arts Heroes.
However, since the USD had plummeted, it could only be calculated in terms of Hua Xia dollars. Naturally, it could not be compared to 'Martial Heroes'.
Even so, "Infernal Affairs" was still ranked in the top 30 of the world's box office. Xiao Yunhai could earn at least 4.8 billion Hua Xia dollars from it.
Zhao Wanqing's album "Dancer" also achieved good results. In just four days, the sales reached 7.3 million copies.
Although it was released a week later than Shen Xiangquan's album, it sold 160,000 more copies than him.
It was basically impossible for Shen Xiangquan to win against Zhao Wanqing.
The Lunar New Year's Eve 2000 was very lively. Xiao Yunhai's uncles and uncles' families were all there. More than ten people had a reunion dinner in the siheyuan.
Last year, the Lunar New Year's Gala hosted by major TV stations had achieved good results. This year, even CCTV joined the ranks and invited countless famous artists to perform.
The director of the gala even called Xiao Yunhai and Zhao Wanqing, but the two of them refused.
What a joke. Xiao Yunhai did not even go to Chen Zhan's Anhui TV station, let alone other TV stations.
After the reunion dinner, Xiao Yunhai chatted with the elders for a while. Then, he went to his parents-in-law's house with Zhao Wanqing.
After all, they only had one daughter, Zhao Wanqing. In the past, when their daughter stayed at home on Lunar New Year's Eve, they did not feel anything.
However, if she suddenly did not go back this year, they would not feel good in their hearts.
Zhao Wanqing was very grateful for her husband's thoughtfulness.
The two of them came to the door of the villa. Zhao Wanqing called her mother, Yan Piaoyun.
"Mom, open the door for us."
"What?" Yan Piaoyun on the other side of the phone was stunned. Then, she said in surprise, "You are back. Wait a minute, I'll go out now. "
For the first time in more than 20 years, Zhao Wanqing did not spend Lunar New Year's Eve at home. Zhao Mingsheng and Yan Piaoyun suddenly felt that this Lunar New Year's Eve was dull. The originally warm house seemed to be a lot colder. The two of them casually had dinner and sat on the sofa to watch TV.
Now that they suddenly heard that their daughter and son-in-law were back, they were naturally overjoyed.
Yan Piaoyun welcomed her daughter and son-in-law in and complained, "Why didn't you tell me in advance that you were coming back? I could have prepared some food for you."
Xiao Yunhai said, "Mom, it's not too late to do it now. When it's 12 o 'clock, let's eat dumplings. How about it? "
Yan Piaoyun smiled and said, "Of course."
Zhao Mingsheng asked, "Yunhai, won't your parents have any opinions about you coming back?"
Zhao Wanqing smiled and said, "It was Granny who drove us out. She said that I'm your only daughter, so you must be upset that you didn't accompany me at home on Lunar New Year's Eve. So she let us come over. "
Yan Piaoyun sighed and said, "Sister Xiuzhu is really attentive."
Xiao Yunhai said, "Dad, Mom, Wan Qing, it's boring to stay in the house. The Lunar New Year should be lively. Come, let's go to the yard to set off fireworks. "
"Okay."
When they came to the yard, Xiao Yunhai took out a big bag of fireworks from the trunk of the car.
Zhao Wanqing asked in surprise, "Hubby, when did you buy this? How come I didn't know about it? "
Xiao Yunhai said with a smile, "I bought it a few days ago and was waiting to set it off now. You know, Grandpa has too many private residences, so he won't let me set it off. "
Zhao Wanqing said, "So, you've been preparing to come for a long time?"
Xiao Yunhai said with a grin, "Of course. So even if Mom didn't mention it, I would've mentioned it to them. Do you think I don't know what's on your mind, wife? "
Zhao Wanqing's eyes turned red and she was so moved that she almost shed tears.
Zhao Mingsheng and Yan Piaoyun exchanged glances and saw the gratification in each other's eyes.
Such a considerate son-in-law was hard to find in the whole world.
Xiao Yunhai laughed and stuffed a lighter into each of their hands, saying, "Come on, let's set it off together. All the ones I bought are large ones. Four Sky Drilling Cannons will definitely be very beautiful. "
Zhao Mingsheng chuckled and said, "I haven't done it for many years. Today, I'm going to find the feeling of my childhood."
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
Clusters of fireworks burst out from the four Sky Drilling Cannons and flew to the highest point. Suddenly, a loud noise was heard and the fireworks scattered in all directions, looking extremely dazzling.
Zhao Wanqing snuggled in Xiao Yunhai's arms and looked at the colorful night sky illuminated by the fireworks. She softly said, "Thank you, Hubby."
Xiao Yunhai's mouth inadvertently revealed a trace of a smile.
That night, Xiao Yunhai and Zhao Wanqing slept in Zhao Mingsheng's house. Zhao Wanqing, who was very grateful to her husband, threw away all her reservations and let Xiao Yunhai enjoy himself.
The next day, Xiao Yunhai woke up early and had breakfast. Then, he drove to Xiao Leshan's courtyard house.
Today was the first day of the New Year. The number one government official would visit Xiao Leshan at 9: 30 AM and would stay for about 20 minutes.
In the past, Xiao Yuanyang was responsible for this matter. But this year, the Third Young Master of the Xiao Family returned to the Xiao Family, and very few people knew about it. Therefore, Xiao Leshan asked Xiao Yunhai to help him receive the official, mainly to officially announce Xiao Changfeng's return.
