In the next few days, Xiao Yunhai didn't do any promotion other than posting the movie trailer on Xianyue Video Network.
That was because all the major media outlets in Hua Xia had already helped him. From the Internet to TV stations to newspapers and magazines, there was news of Inception's big box office sales in North America every day. The anticipation level couldn't be any higher.
Even if Xiao Yunhai took everyone to all the satellite channels in the country, the effect would still be the same.
Zhao Wanqing's fourth episode of "Singer's Night" finished recording on May 8th and came in third place. Combined with the results of the previous episode, she came in fifth place overall.
Now, "Singer's Night" was the most famous variety show in the country. The ratings were through the roof, and the average rating for the first three episodes was 13.3%.
Whether it was the singers who were participating in the competition or those who were eliminated in the competition, their popularity had increased a lot. Especially the foreign singers, who gained millions of fans in a short period of time.
Seeing how popular the show was, the foreign musicians who had just entered Hua Xia and the singers who were less popular all came to Jiangsu Satellite TV, hoping to join the show.
It was a sharp contrast to the lack of interest from before.
Time flew by, and the 10th of May soon arrived.
As the largest cinema chain in the country, the new Hua Xia Cinema had more than 48,000 screens. The opening ceremony of such a behemoth was naturally very grand.
As the center of the entire cinema chain, the new Hua Xia Cinema in Yanjing was built magnificently. The long red carpet extended from the entrance to the intersection. There were also security fences on both sides. Countless reporters stood in their respective positions with cameras, cameras, and camcorders. Fans in the distance had already gathered early, chatting loudly while waiting for their idols to arrive.
The opening ceremony of a new cinema chain was much grander than the Golden Goblet Awards.
As long as one was in the entertainment industry, one would more or less have some relationship with the cinema chain. Therefore, not only were there artists, but there were also many bosses and government officials.
From 10 o 'clock, guests began to appear on the red carpet in an endless stream. The worst of them were A-listers. The other B-listers and C-listers didn't even have the right to be here.
The two CEOs of the new Hua Xia Cinema chain, Yu Hai and Hu Yaoting, stood at the entrance of the cinema to welcome the guests.
Hu Yaoting, who was wearing a business suit, had been outside for an hour. Her two slender legs could barely stand, and the smile on her face was very stiff.
Taking this opportunity, Hu Yaoting turned to Yu Hai and bitterly smiled, "Mr. Yu, I just realised that the two of us are too silly. Putting aside the fact that he had to work so hard every day, he had finally made it to the grand opening of the cinema chain. In the end, he still had to suffer here. Look at Young Master Xiao. He didn't need to care about anything. He didn't need to ask anything. He could do whatever he wanted. It was simply too comfortable. Sigh, different people have different fates. "
Yu Hai nodded and said sympathetically, "Those who work with their minds govern others, while those who work with their bodies are governed by others. The two of us are laborers, people who work for this Young Master Xiao. Fortunately, he could still obtain some benefits. Otherwise, he would definitely suffer a huge loss. Sigh, I'm really envious of him now. "
Hu Yaoting said, "But then again, I'm quite impressed with him. If it were an ordinary person who owned such a big business, he would have already announced it to everyone. But he not only hid it from everyone, but he also didn't even ask about the company. He only sent a few people to supervise the finances. He really trusts us. I reckon that even now, he probably still doesn't know who the general manager is. "
Yu Hai smiled and said, "But I have to say, it's really comfortable to work with someone like him."
Hu Yaoting nodded and said, "Yes. Look, your daughter and son-in-law are here. "
Yu Hai said, "Even if they're here, what can they do? They can't possibly replace me. I just want to find a place to sit down and rest now. Sigh, I'm getting old. My body can't take it anymore. "
Amidst the cheers of the movie fans, Yu Yuexian came to her father with a smile and greeted him. Then, she hugged Hu Yaoting and said, "Dad, Mr. Hu, didn't Yunhai come to welcome the guests?"
Man Wenbin smiled and said, "Moon Immortal, do you even need to ask? With that guy's character, he wouldn't come even if you beat him to death. "
Yu Hai said, "That's right. Mr. Hu and I both called him before, but he flatly rejected us because he didn't want to show his face in public. Now, an old man like me and a beautiful woman like you are standing here. It's really preposterous. "
Hu Yaoting said, "My legs are about to turn to jelly from standing."
Yu Yuexian spread her hands and said with a smile, "Who asked you to work with him? This is called Zhou Yu beating Huang Gai. One is willing to hit, the other is willing to take. Let me tell you, let's not talk about the new Hua Xia cinema chain. He doesn't even go to his own Magic City and Fantasy special effects companies more than a few times a year. "
Hu Yaoting said in surprise, "No way? Is that true? "
Yu Yuexian said, "Wan Qing told me. How can it be false?"
Yu Hai chuckled and said, "Young Master Xiao is really ambitious."
Yu Yuexian sighed and said, "Actually, the reason why he started these companies is because he wants to make his own movies. Among all the young artists under the age of 40, he is the only one who can be called a filmmaker. "
Hu Yaoting said, "If he doesn't love movies from the bottom of his heart, how can he make so many excellent movies that are popular around the world? Not to mention other things, just 'Infernal Affairs', which was completed in six days, made him several billion USD. It's enough for us to work hard for three years. 'Inception' seems to be even better now. The box office in North America has reached 1.8 billion USD. Just wait and see, tonight is the real global screening. It's estimated to be at least 600 million USD. I regret not choosing to major in directing. "
Yu Yuexian smiled and said, "This kid is a monster. No matter how much we study, we can never reach his level. "
Man Wenbin said, "Look, the monster is here."
They looked over and saw Xiao Yunhai and Zhao Wanqing's fingers interlocked, smiling as they waved to the fans on both sides as they walked towards them.
Soon, the two of them arrived in front of everyone.
Xiao Yunhai first greeted Yu Hai, Hu Yaoting, and Man Wenbin. Then, he said to Yu Yuexian with an exaggerated expression, "Sister Yu, I haven't seen you in so many days. Why are you getting younger and prettier?"
Yu Yuexian ignored him and held Zhao Wanqing's arm. She said, "Wan Qing, does your husband say that to every woman he sees?"
Zhao Wanqing thought for a moment and said, "I think he does say that quite a few times."
Yu Yuexian sneered and said, "Young Master Xiao, can you please be more creative when you praise me? There's no point in saying cliched words. "
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "Sister Yu, you're hurting my heart. Everything I say comes from the bottom of my heart. "
Yu Yuexian snorted and said, "You should say that to other women. I'm not as gullible as they are. Wan Qing, let's go in. "
Zhao Wanqing saw Xiao Yunhai's bitter face and tried hard to hold back her laughter. She walked with Yu Yuexian to the theater. But before they could take more than a few steps, the two of them burst out laughing.
Xiao Yunhai shook his head and sighed. "Sure enough, people's hearts are not what they used to be. The world is cold and fickle."
Hu Yaoting said, "Young Master Xiao, you're right. I have a deep understanding of that. Some people only care about themselves and don't care about their own companies. They don't even bother to welcome guests at the opening ceremony. Do you think that's reasonable? "
Xiao Yunhai pursed his lips and chuckled. "People should act according to their own capabilities. It's best to do less or even not do things that are beyond your capabilities. Otherwise, you'll be more of a hindrance. Take me for example. If you want me to star in a movie or sing a song, it's fine. But if you want me to manage a company, then it's really difficult. Uncle Yu, Sister Hu, the two of you are capable. I'll just cheer you on from behind. "
After saying that, he didn't wait for the two of them to react and quickly slipped in.
Yu Hai looked at his back and shook his head and sighed. "It's really hard for people who don't know him to believe that he's the Young Master of the Xiao Family. It's even harder for them to believe that he's a world-famous director and a billionaire. It's really rare to see such a relaxed attitude. "
