The box office of "The Shawshank Redemption" was doing well at the beginning. After all, it had such a big cast of stars and an overwhelming amount of publicity. On the second day, the box office of "The Shawshank Redemption" surpassed "Frozen" and was ranked first! But no one would have thought that the good times would not last long. Although the prison break-themed movie expressed profound content, it was also very serious. Its box office began to decline in just a week.
From the perspective of the movie itself, its plot was worthy of careful consideration. On some film review websites, its ratings were also very high. It could be said that the fans who liked it would not be stingy with their high ratings. Even if the fans did not like such a depressing plot, they would not give a low rating. After all, the story and life principles it told were still very shocking!
Even on the film magazines, those professional film critics gave it very high marks! They even praised it as a good movie that was hard to come by in ten years!
But even so, it could not change the seriousness of its theme, nor could it change the depressing plot!
Don't compare it with "Prison Break", which had a gripping plot and high ratings. Both were prison break-themed movies, but "Prison Break" was more like a commercial film, while "The Shawshank Redemption" was more like a literary film. The progress of the plot was like boiling a frog in warm water. Although it could be thought-provoking, it was not exciting enough!
Many young people came to the cinema to watch movies, didn't they come for the excitement or joy of the plot? Naturally, such a heavy-hearted movie began to become a niche audience...
Of course, the box office of "The Shawshank Redemption" was declining, and it might not even meet the expectations of the investors in the future (it was already much better than Yang Yi's previous life). This was a story for another time, so let's not talk about it here.
…
Let's return to our children!
After watching "Frozen", which they could not forget, the children were even more interested in visiting the so-called "doll production factory" that Yang Yi had promised earlier!
Xi Xi received calls from her friends from time to time. Then, she actively ran to her father and asked, "Papa, Sister Xiaowei asked me. She wants to go and see it too!"
Yang Yi patted Xi Xi's little head and said with a smile, "Of course, didn't I promise you last time that you could let your friends visit it together?"
"But, but, papa, when can we go and see it?" Xi Xi blinked and asked.
Yang Yi originally wanted to give the answer directly, but he rolled his eyes and had a new idea. He smiled and said, "It depends on how you arrange it!"
"How do I arrange it?" The little girl looked at her father in confusion.
"Yes, I'll leave this event to you. How about it?" Yang Yi smiled and said, "You can confirm the time, then call your friends and tell them to gather at our house like last time. Dad will arrange a minibus to take you all to visit the factory."
Obviously, Yang Yi wanted to exercise Xi Xi's organizing ability!
In fact, he had asked Xi Xi to do similar things before, but they were relatively simple. For example, when Xi Xi was in kindergarten, she wanted to invite Yang Luoqi, Chen Shiyun, and other friends to play at home. Yang Yi asked her to confirm with each child and get the phone numbers of their parents.
Now that Xi Xi was a "big" girl who was almost seven years old, it was time for her to try some more complicated challenges!
"But, but I don't know how to arrange it!" Xi Xi was very happy at first, but the clever little girl quickly thought of the key point. She intertwined two fingers and said to her father.
Yang Yi said with a smile, "It doesn't matter if you don't know, papa will teach you! You can call them one by one and ask when they are free. It's best if they can spare half a day, and then you can count them into a table … "
Yang Yi really taught Xi Xi to draw a table, so that it would be more convenient to fill in the statistical results and more intuitive to get the conclusion they wanted.
Xi Xi listened very carefully. Although the little girl was not like before, when she always liked to ask why, she was obviously more focused when learning new things.
"PaPa, but, but what if they are not free? What should we do? "Xi Xi raised her little face and looked at her father worriedly.
"Generally speaking, they are free on weekends." Yang Yi gently analyzed for the little girl. "Now they are not free because their parents have to go to work, so their parents ask them to read books and do summer homework at home."
Xi Xi blinked her big eyes and smiled sweetly. "Hee hee, but I have finished my summer homework!"
In order to show off, the little girl digressed a little.
However, Yang Yi still guided Xi Xi to calculate everyone's schedule first, and then negotiate and adjust according to the situation.
Therefore, Xi Xi excitedly held the home phone and sat on the sofa, ready to call her friends.
Yang Yi helped Xi Xi to take the table she had just drawn and the pen she had just drawn and put it on the coffee table. Then, he left like a shopkeeper.
Although it was not dinner time yet, Yang Yi still wanted to create a relatively independent environment for Xi Xi. In order not to give her a chance to rely on him, he went into the kitchen.
…
However, Yang Yi "miscalculated"! Xi Xi was not alone. She had a little helper.
Tong Tong was in the living room. Now that his sister was here, he came over eagerly. Moreover, the little fellow was quite tactful. His sister sat cross-legged on the sofa, while he grinned and leaned against the thick sofa, standing in front of his sister.
"Little Brother, who do you think we should call first?" Xi Xi tilted her head and touched her chin with her fingers. She asked Tong Tong, "Yes, what about Sister Lu Weisha? Or Xin … Sister Xin Er doesn't need to. She is definitely free. Hee hee, but she hasn't finished her summer homework yet! Also, should we call Sister Fishy first, or should we call …? "
Xi Xi rattled off a lot of names.
Little Bi 'an, on the other hand, understood quite a bit and was very happy to participate. He began to wave his right hand with his fingers outstretched in an excited manner and said in a childish voice: "Big Sis, Big Sis!"
"No, which sister? Why don't we call Sister Fishy first? "Xi Xi had an idea of her own. She patted her little skirt and said cheerfully.
When Tong Tong heard his sister say this, he did not know if his sister's words were the same as his own. Anyway, he thought that his sister had gotten the idea from him. He squinted his eyes and smiled happily. He patted the sofa and said, "Hee hee, okay!"
Xi Xi had already memorized the phone number of her deskmate's house. Under Tong Tong's gaze, she began to dial the number.
The call was quickly connected, and Xixi called out cheerfully, "Little Yu 'er! Let me tell you … "
But just as quickly, Xi Xi's expression became a little embarrassed. Her voice became a lot quieter. She said embarrassedly, "Hey, it's not Fishy? Hello, Auntie … I'm Xi Xi! "
Lu Xiaoyu's mother answered the phone. After she said a few words to Xi Xi, she called Lu Xiaoyu over.
