The anti-fraud bureau needs a promotional video, and you're going to make a "Desperate Gam

Chapter 60: Patriotic Sentiment Reaches its Peak! (Be sure to read on! Second update!)

"Has 'The Flowers of War' been released?" Director Zhang asked his assistant, Xiao Liu.

Xiao Liu nodded awkwardly: "Yes, Director Zhang."

How much did it gross?

"I didn't pay much attention either." Xiao Liu actually knew the truth, but she didn't dare to say it.

She knew that Old Master Zhang was proud and arrogant, and if she told him the actual box office results of "The Flowers of War", he would probably explode on the spot.

Xiao Liu originally thought that as long as he didn't tell him, he would be fine.

Instead, Director Zhang asked her to turn on her computer and search for the box office figures for "The Flowers of War".

"You search it up, let me see." Director Zhang leaned back in his chair, looking calmly.

Assistant Xiao Liu had no choice but to turn on the computer and search.

Shortly after, the real-time box office figures were released.

Xiao Liu originally thought that the box office figure of 2.7 million yuan seen this morning should now be around 2.9 million yuan, or at most 3 million yuan.

The result was unexpected!

The number that appeared on the computer screen was 3.3 million in box office revenue!!

It's only been less than half a day!
How come the box office numbers are rising so fast!
She even refreshed the page multiple times because of this.

I suspect it's stuck.

But you have to understand, Director Zhang is using a computer with over ten thousand yuan worth of hardware, how could it lag at all?!
Director Zhang said with a hint of impatience, "Don't refresh, let me check."

As he spoke, he took the mouse and carefully looked at the data comparison between yesterday and today.

It's clear that the number of screenings yesterday was not high.

However, the average occupancy rate is surprisingly high.

It even reached 89.5%!

Keep in mind that these shows are almost always sold out!

Today, all major cinema chains have increased the number of screenings, so the data is even more outrageous!
Director Zhang's face turned green as he watched the numbers keep rising.

He immediately stood up and said to his assistant, Xiao Liu, "Go, contact the nearest investors and tell them that I will be filming a new movie next month, and I guarantee that the box office and word-of-mouth will surpass 'The Lonely City.' See what their reaction is."

"Understood, Director Zhang."

Assistant Xiao Liu never expected that Song Hao's "The Flowers of War" could inspire Director Zhang's creative passion.

It's important to know that, generally speaking, after Director Zhang finishes filming a movie, he needs to rest for at least a year and find suitable subject matter and actors before he can start filming again.

The previous drama, "The Lonely City," took two years to film.

Although its reputation and box office performance declined sharply afterward, its box office of several hundred million yuan still allowed it to maintain its position in the market.

As Director Zhang's number one fan, Xiao Liu outshone everyone else and eventually became his personal assistant.

Therefore, in terms of stance, Xiao Liu would definitely blindly side with Director Zhang.

As for Song Hao's opinion, she simply felt that he was just benefiting from the official promotional video.

If her teacher were to take the photos, her grades might double.

"Looking forward to Teacher Zhang's next work!"

On the second day of its release, "The Flowers of War" already had a large audience.

They mainly judge whether a movie is worth watching based on word-of-mouth on the opening day.

Xiao Huiwen's family is a perfect example.

Hsiao Hui-wen loves watching movies and often takes her parents with her.

As early as yesterday, she saw comments about "The Flowers of War" online.

She was very interested in this.

So Xiao Huiwen pulled her parents along, wanting to take them with her.

But when Mom heard it was a war movie, she shook her head repeatedly: "Only your dad likes movies about the War of Resistance Against Japan. I don't like them. I'm not going. I want to play mahjong instead."

But Xiao Huiwen patiently explained, "Mom, this movie is different from previous war movies. Believe me, it's really good. And bring tissues, be ready to wipe your tears at any time."

Hearing this, Xiao's mother laughed even harder: "Me, cry? When I gave birth to you, I was in so much pain, but I didn't cry. How could I possibly cry?"

Xiao's father chuckled and said, "Yes, your mother is a very strong-willed woman. When she broke her hand, she didn't utter a sound or show any emotion. She went to the hospital to set the bone herself."

"Go ahead and go see it. If you don't like it, I'll do the dishes tonight." Seeing that her daughter had even resorted to the excuse of washing dishes, Xiao's mother had no choice but to say, "Alright, alright, I'll go with you two to take a look today."

Finally, the three members of the Xiao family arrived at the nearest movie theater. When they saw a long line of people, Xiao's mother was somewhat surprised: "Are all of them here to see that war movie?"

“Yes,” Xiao Huiwen explained, “This movie has been very popular in Nanjing recently; it’s a promotional film for Nanjing’s culture and tourism.”

"A promotional video?" Mr. Xiao asked, somewhat puzzled. "A promotional video for a war movie?"

"Oh dear, I don't really know the specifics, but it looks really good anyway," Xiao Huiwen said, both amused and exasperated.

And so, following the flow of people, they entered the theater.

Seeing the theater packed with moviegoers, Xiao's mother was somewhat surprised: "The whole theater is almost full?!"

This made her increasingly curious about what the movie was about.

Soon, the movie started.

The words "The Flowers of War" appeared on the screen.

No one in the theater spoke; everyone was silently watching the movie.

During this time, there were also cries.

Upon seeing the exciting parts, some boys couldn't help but curse: "These Japanese pirates! Damn it!"

Even Xiao's usually calm father clenched his fists, his emotions running high.

Not to mention Xiao's mother, who was just being strong-willed, she was already crying her eyes out.

After the film ended, Xiao's mother changed the next arrangements at the last minute.

"I'm not going to play mahjong anymore. I want to visit our Jinling Martyrs' Cemetery."

Xiao's father nodded, "I'll go with you."

Xiao Huiwen said, "No, our whole family will go. If it weren't for our ancestors back then, we wouldn't have the life we ​​have now."

Not only the Xiao family, but also the Li family, Zhang family, and Chen family came to see the movie.

They were also deeply moved by the plot of the movie.

"Daughter, you must remember to study hard and serve your country in the future, okay?"

"Son, the prosperity of our country depends on the efforts of your generation."

"Never forget national humiliation, you know?"

As a result, the box office of "The Flowers of War" continued to rise, and more and more netizens went to the cinema to watch it.

After watching the documentary, they even visited local museums, memorial halls, and martyrs' cemeteries in order to learn more about the history of that time.

Just then, the fencing final took place that evening.

The national team's Qianqian is facing off against Xiao Rizi.

In the final moment, she delivered a fatal blow to her opponent's throat.

After winning the championship, he was so excited that he covered his face and cried.

The online comment section is filled with touching remarks that have moved countless people.

An aged voice came from behind: "Girl, don't be afraid, grip your sword tightly, and kill!"

"This sword, carrying the will of China, is something you, Xiao Rizi, cannot withstand!"

Coach: What are the chances of success with this strike?

Qianqian: I don't know.

In a daze, countless figures in military uniforms, their faces obscured, appeared beside her, patted her shoulder, and said: "You've practiced countless times, haven't you? We believe in you."

Coach: I'll ask you one more time, how confident are you about this strike?

Qianqian: I'm confident I can succeed with 35 million!

"With this rapier, I will sever your century-long national destiny. This sword strike is called 'One Sword, Frost Chills Fourteen Provinces'!"

Inspired by the film "The Flowers of War," and with the national fencing team defeating the Japanese in the final to win the championship, patriotic sentiment reached its peak at this moment!
