"Dabao, cover me!" His comrade roared as he kicked open the door and rushed in.
Guo Dabao followed closely behind. The two of them, one in front and one behind, one on the left and one on the right, carefully searched the room.
"No one!" They bent their legs and carefully moved forward.
Suddenly, a masked female figure appeared in the corridor behind them. Guo Dabao felt something and subconsciously turned around. Seeing this figure, Guo Dabao was stunned for a moment, but seeing the gun in the other party's hand, he quickly reacted and raised his hand to shoot.
However, one shot was not enough to make the other party fall, so Guo Dabao added two more shots. Finally, the masked female target fell to the ground.
"Continue!" The comrade in front hurriedly glanced and they continued to search.
After a fierce 'battle', the 'civilians' in the training base were finally saved. However, this training was not only about whether the mission was completed, but also the time taken. The instructor first praised Guo Dabao and his partner for completing the mission in the required time.
"But compared to your previous results, this training took twenty seconds more. This is a regression!" The instructor reprimanded with a serious expression, "Especially Guo Dabao, you took too much time to kill the criminals. Look at these target papers, where did your bullets go?"
Guo Dabao did not refute, but only loudly admitted his mistake, "Yes!"
Guo Dabao still knew his problem. His reaction was slow, so he raised his hand and fired. The first shot was hurried and hit the target's abdomen. This was not fatal and gave the other party a chance to fight back.
Although on the training ground, these targets would not really fight back, but on the real battlefield, Guo Dabao could not kill with one shot. This was a fatal threat to him and his comrades!
"Instructor, Guo Dabao's shooting has not been very accurate …" His comrade carefully explained for Guo Dabao, "His real skill is in close combat."
"On the battlefield, who cares about your skill level? Who will give you a chance to fight in close combat? Go back and continue to practice. You have to practice shooting accurately. You have to shoot directly at the vital points and eliminate the threat as quickly as possible! "The instructor said resolutely.
"Yes!"
At night, Guo Dabao lay in bed and could not fall asleep.
After returning from the training base, he realized that he could not go on like this. Although it was a well-known fact that his shooting was inaccurate, Guo Dabao used to be able to make a headshot at close range, but now his reaction was much slower. It should not be like this!
Guo Dabao was very clear about what the problem was. The analysis that Captain Old Li had given him before had really left a knot in his heart.
It was the first time that Guo Dabao liked a girl. It was the first time that he found this valiant girl so attractive to him. However, they lived in different worlds. Except for Yang Yi, he did not have any interactions with her, in the past, present, or future …
He did not know what he should do, so he delayed it.
But now, Guo Dabao realized that this was not going to work. If he kept thinking about it, he would only become more and more confused, and it would only affect his usual training. If it were not for the fact that the Jiangnan Military Region was in a peaceful Jiangnan, where they basically only trained and did not have many combat missions, he would have affected the entire mission and even dragged his comrades into danger!
He could not go on!
…
It was the weekend. Yang Yi and his family came to the coffee shop to play again, mainly to bring Murphy out for some fresh air. It was rare that the sun was shining, and the cold weather in Jiangnan was warming up. On such a good weekend, Yang Yi naturally could not let Murphy stay at home.
However, since it was winter, the number of students who came to the coffee shop to drink coffee had decreased. Most of the students chose to stay in the dormitory, or the dormitory, classroom, or cafeteria. Except for a few coffee fans, most students were too lazy to come to the back door for a cup of coffee.
This was also good. With fewer people, Murphy could walk around the shop leisurely.
There was also soothing piano music in the shop. It was like a stream of notes flowing slowly, making people feel happy.
The person playing the piano today was Miao Chuan. Lu Xiaoshu and Miao Chuan had started to take turns playing the piano in the shop. Every few days, they would come with guitars and play their own songs for the customers in the shop, or sing some folk songs.
It was like they had replaced Lin Mu 'an's position, but they were not willing to take Yang Yi's salary. They were working for free in the coffee shop.
According to Lu Xiaoshu and Miao Chuan, they did not lack tuition fees or living expenses for the time being. They had not squandered the salary that Rong Huada had given them. In addition, when they came to the shop to play the piano and sing, they were also practicing. They did not give Yang Yi the cost of "renting the venue and piano." How could they have the nerve to ask for Yang Yi's money?
Yang Yi understood their real intention. Wasn't it to repay a debt of gratitude? They wanted to repay Yang Yi's legal fees. However, Yang Yi did not expose them. For the time being, he would let these two guys do it. He would see what happened later.
It had to be said that Yang Yi was not God. He could not let everything go as he wished.
In the first half of November, he basically had a smooth sailing. Whether it was "Today You Will Marry Me" continuing to rank at the top of the new song sales chart, or the arrangement of the theme song he wrote for "Soldiers Assault", whether it was the lawsuit of Qianli Chuanshu, or the Double Eleven event of Sahara Online Mall, almost all of them met his expectations smoothly.
But today, Yang Yi finally encountered a problem!
Knowing that Yang Yi was in the coffee shop, Du Yuanlei hurried to find him and told him that "The Fugitive" was not going well and was being suppressed by the cinema chain.
After "The Fugitive" was produced, the original plan was to be released during the Spring Festival next year. Although it was the debut film of a new director and there were no famous actors, the movie's plot was still very good. Even Old Master Jiang Lei praised it and supported Du Yuanlei's decision to go all out during the Spring Festival.
Maybe a bicycle would turn into a motorcycle?
But now, according to Du Yuanlei, "The Fugitive" only had a few percent of the showtimes. Compared to other movies that were released during the Spring Festival, its showtimes were the lowest!
This was obviously unreasonable. After all, "The Fugitive" was considered an excellent independent film. Even if it was not as good as movies that were backed by a film company, its showtimes should not be so low!
"What's the reason?" Yang Yi frowned and asked, "Do you know who is behind this?"
Although Du Yuanlei did not have much influence, she was a graduate student in the directing department of Jiangchuan Film Academy. Whether it was the support of the school, the connections of some teachers, or some senior brothers and sisters who had a certain amount of authority in the industry, Du Yuanlei's connections were not big, but they were not small either. It was not difficult to find out who was affecting the showtimes of "The Fugitive."
Du Yuanlei hesitated, looked at Yang Yi, and said, "Global Pictures."
Hearing this, Yang Yi understood everything. At the end of the day, it was his own influence. "Prison Break" had been pestering Global Pictures for so long, but in the end, it was given to Woolf TV.
Xu Zhongwei was able to become the CEO of the Zhong Hua region, so he was obviously not a good person. He was wondering why Global Pictures was so calm. It turned out that they had been holding back and looking for an opportunity to make things difficult for him!
But regarding this problem, Yang Yi did not have any solution.
Yang Yi did not have any connections in the film industry. Chen Fengchen could not help him, and he could not fight over such a small matter.
Luckily, Du Yuanlei did not come here to complain to Yang Yi. She also did not have the habit of relying on Yang Yi for everything.
Du Yuanlei hesitated for a moment and said to Yang Yi, "There is a solution now. Teacher Xiang is helping us. If we arrange for the film to be released after the Spring Festival, that is, in March, we can get 8% of the film in the cinema."
Why were there so many good films in the Spring Festival showtimes? Why were the Spring Festival showtimes and the summer holidays known as the golden period? It was because the audiences in the country were the most free and willing to go to the cinema during this period. During this period, the box office sales would be the highest!
March would be the off-season. Not only would there be fewer audiences, but there would also be fewer exciting films. It would be even harder for people to be interested in going to the cinema.
But it seemed that "The Fugitive" did not have a better choice.
"Let's do as you said!" Yang Yi did not really care about the box office sales. After all, this was not only the result of his and Du Yuanlei's hard work, but also the hard work of Guo Ziyi, Geng Sha, Teacher Xiang, Xi Xi, and many others.
Yang Yi thought for a while and said to Du Yuanlei, "Go back and get someone to make English subtitles. I'll get Xiaojuan to make the arrangements. You all can bring the film to the film festival in the US and see if the foreigners are interested in our film."
After sending Du Yuanlei off, Yang Yi welcomed a special but expected customer at the cafe.
