Entertainment: The joy of being a director is beyond your imagination

Chapter 99. On New Year’s Eve, playing video games to satisfy your cravings?

In the first Spring Festival period, due to the problems of Huaying, films such as Let the Bullets Fly and Laughing in the Rivers and Lakes that were originally scheduled to be released during the New Year period were directly postponed to the first day of the Lunar New Year.

At the same time, other films such as New Shaolin Temple, Out of the Blue, Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf: The Year of the Rabbit have also changed their original release dates and will be released on the first day of the Lunar New Year.

On that day, there were more than ten movies showing in the cinema.

Apart from the Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf series of movies and old films, the most popular ones are "Accidental Murder" directed and starred by Pei Ran, and "Let the Bullets Fly" also directed and starred by Jiang Wen.

The two films dominated the schedule with 35% and 30% of the screenings respectively.

"The Accidental Manslaughter" was strongly supported by Huaying and Wanda. In addition, before its release, Yang Mi, Chen Kaige and others were pushed to the top of the hot searches, so the traffic was naturally ridiculously high. What's more, there was the blessing of Pei Ran, the "new genius director" himself.

However, other domestic theaters think that Let the Bullets Fly is better.

Even several other cinema chain owners who were well aware of Pei Ran's abilities as a sound engineer inevitably gave most of their cinemas' screenings to Let the Bullets Fly.

The tuner looks good, really good looking.

But after all, Pei Ran is a new director.

Whether his second film can be as good as The Sound Tuner is unknown, but let the bullets fly? It has the support of top-tier stars such as Ge You, Zhou Runfa, and Liu Jialing... and its popularity on online media such as mtime.com and Douban is not inferior to that of A Mistaken Identity.

Moreover, Jiang Wen directed and acted in the film herself.

There is no need to talk about the value of Jiang Wen, the 93 movie "Sunny Days" was so awesome.

Definitely a critical and commercial success!

The idea of ​​these theater owners is also very simple:
If "The Accidental Murderer" wants to get a higher screening schedule in their theaters than "Let the Bullets Fly", then it should prove it with results.

Otherwise, it will be useless no matter who supports you!
……

This year's Spring Festival movie season starts at midnight on New Year's Eve.

This is just an attempt. For example, after the Spring Festival period officially started in 13, the midnight shows would actually be scheduled at midnight on the first day of the Lunar New Year, which is more reasonable.

But after all, this year is the first time that a young lady is getting into a bridal sedan.

Some outrageous arrangements are understandable.

As for the pre-sale situation of the midnight show, the sales of several films were not much different, because there were very few tickets released in the first place. Although it was a novelty to watch a movie on New Year's Eve... but in China, where there were a lot of people, it was just a drop in the ocean, and all the box office tickets were snapped up.

Movies like "Accidental Manslaughter" and "Let the Bullets Fly" were sold out within an hour of going on sale, while less popular films like "The Lonely King" and "Wulin Wai Zhuan" were also sold out after a few hours.

As for Pleasant Goat and the others... they didn't even appear on the midnight show because there was no need.

Everyone sells the same number of tickets.

What matters is the attendance rate and the evaluation and reputation of the film by the audience after watching it.

Pei Ran felt that such reference value was really not that great, so he was too lazy to even look at it and simply went to bed at around eight o'clock.

As a result, at around 12 o'clock in the morning, I was woken up by the ringing of my cell phone. It was Yang Mi calling to wish me a happy new year.

They were both half asleep, so Pei Ran said a few perfunctory words and hung up.

But then... Liu Wanqing, Fan Xiaopang, Reba, Han Sanping, Yu Hewei, Zhang Yi and others called one after another, and Pei Ran was so congratulated that he couldn't sleep.

He had no choice but to go back to sleep. Not five minutes after Pei Ran lay down, his cell phone rang again.

Pei Ran was a little annoyed at first, but when he took the phone and saw that it was a QQ video call from Jing Tian, ​​he immediately calmed down, "It's New Year's Eve, and you're still calling me, do you miss me?"

After the video call was connected, half of Jing Tian's face appeared on the screen. The woman seemed to be taking a shower, with a few strands of wet hair sticking to her charming face. "Hmph, I was afraid that you missed me too much and couldn't sleep, so I called you to relieve your craving."

“How do I satisfy my cravings by playing videos?”

"Isn't it okay to just video chat?" Jing Tian pouted, "Then how else do you want to satisfy your craving?"

"We can play some video." "You want to play with me with just a screen?" Jing Tian said angrily.

"So do you want it? Hmm? Do you want me to slap your little butt hard with my big palm?" Pei Ran was the type who could do it easily when he opened his mouth when talking dirty.

Hearing this, Jing Tian's little face on the screen turned slightly red. "What does it matter whether I want to or not? Anyway, you can't take a picture of it through the screen! I'll piss you off to death, hehe!"

"Oh, I'm sad. Let's hang up."

Pei Ran pretended to be disappointed.

In fact, I was feeling sleepy.

Seeing this, Jing Tian hurriedly said, "You can touch me freely when I get home tomorrow, why are you still sad? Otherwise... try the video play you mentioned? But you must not go too far!"

"Haha, Jing Tian, ​​how can I not understand you? You change your face so quickly. You were unwilling just now, but now you take the initiative to let me play the video?" Pei Ran laughed, "It's actually the middle of the night. Are you horny?!"

"..."

Jing Tian didn't say anything. She really didn't mean that at first, but after Pei Ran said that, it seemed like she was a little... itchy.

Don't get me wrong, it's not the core that's itchy, it's the heart that's itchy.

Seeing that she didn't say anything, Pei Ran chuckled, "It's a pity that I can't reach you through the screen~ Okay, hang up, go to bed early."

I heard Pei Ran say he wanted to hang up again.

Jing Tian finally spoke up, and couldn't help but wonder, "There won't be anyone else in your bed, right? Why do you always want to video chat with me?"

Pei Ran curled his lips when he heard this, "You're overthinking it. If there were other women, why would I take the risk of accepting your video? I'm just a little tired."

You said you were tired? Pei Ran said he was tired?

Jing Tian seemed to have heard some unbelievable news. Her mouth opened slightly, and she looked a little dazed...

This is the first time this guy told me he was tired.

In the past, he was like a little calf. No matter whether in bed or during filming, even when her bones were about to fall apart, this guy was still like nothing happened.

Now he says he's tired?
But on second thought... It took less than three months to shoot "Manslaughter", and the post-production, plus the publicity work, etc., were all done by Pei Ran alone, so it seems normal to be tired.

Just thinking about this tedious work, Jing Tian felt a little distressed.

So she quickly replied: "Okay, then Pei Ran, do you still want to play video play? I will listen to you. I will do whatever you ask me to do, okay?"

Then, can you perform a scene in the bathtub where you comfort yourself? It would be best if you were about to cry and couldn't hold back your tears, with tears in all three eyes...

But if Jing Tian is really teased by the video and becomes so horny that I become consumed by it... then I won’t be able to sleep tonight.

So Pei Ran still refused, "Why don't you come to my house tomorrow and I'll play the real scene with you."

"Okay." Jing Tian, ​​who was so tender that she could squeeze out water, pouted her red lips, "Then I will reward you well tomorrow, okay, husband~"

"How to reward?"

Pei Ran had just finished asking when Jing Tian pointed the camera at her two crystal clear, plump red lips. The slight crease between the opening and closing of her upper and lower lips could be clearly seen. "Tomorrow I will wear new underwear and let you experience my wake-up service, okay?"

……

That pure and sweet princess? !
Pei Ran tried his best and finally managed to get Jing Tian to do it.

But this kind of Jing Tian...also has a different kind of feeling.

Not to mention, the wake-up service that Jing Tian mentioned... really made Pei Ran look forward to it. As he was looking forward to it, he gradually fell into a deep sleep.
