This actor has something

Chapter 292 Outbreak
"Da Qi! Can you please leave that evil woman Zhou Huimin? Her fans are scolding us online!"

A cry with a tearful tone drowned out the voice of Ning Hao on the stage. Ning Hao, who was halfway through reminiscing about the past, looked at He Daqi helplessly with the microphone in his hand.

Except for Ning Hao, everyone else looked in the direction of the shouting.

A little girl in the audience was crying with tears in her eyes. She looked so pitiful as if she had suffered a great injustice.

He Daqi sighed with a mixture of laughter and tears. If he hadn't witnessed the whole process of his fans quarreling with Zhou Huimin's fans, he might have really believed it now.

Seeing that the girl was young and her values ​​were probably immature, He Daqi didn't ignore her. He smiled and walked over with the microphone.

Of course, the most important thing is that the girl had a ticket for the first row, otherwise He Daqi would have no way to come over and exchange a few words with her even if he wanted to.

"Be good, don't cry, wipe your tears quickly." He Daqi gently touched her head, then took out a handkerchief from his arms and handed it to her.

The little girl was just too excited, so she shouted loudly without caring about anything. She didn't expect He Daqi to come up to her and respond to her.

Listening to He Daqi's gentle voice and thinking of her own crying appearance, the little girl blushed immediately.

She lowered her head and didn't dare to look at He Daqi, let alone take the handkerchief that He Daqi handed to her.

He Daqi seemed to understand her thoughts and gently wiped her tears with a handkerchief. The camera clearly recorded this scene and broadcast it to the big screen of the cinema.

What happened next was beyond He Daqi's expectations. Screams filled the venue, as if a zombie virus had broken out and a group of women were shouting for help.

"what!!!!!!"

"Da Qi! I'm crying too, please help me wipe it!"

"Daqi! I have a lot of tears! Help me first!"

He Daqi looked up and laughed a bit ridiculously, ignoring the female fans handing out capes. He lowered his head and said softly to the little girl, "Chow Huimin is my wife. Can you love her as much as you love me in the future? If you really can't get over this hurdle in your heart, don't hate her because of me."

"...Yeah." The little girl nodded gently, making an inaudible sound.

The little girl's face is now as red as a ripe apple. Looking at her face, it looks like an egg could be fried.

At this moment, she was addicted to the fragrant smell of He Daqi's handkerchief and couldn't help herself. No matter what He Daqi said, she would probably nod in agreement.

Feeling that He Daqi was about to wipe her nose, the little girl suddenly came to her senses, quickly took He Daqi's handkerchief, and clumsily wiped it all over her face. Then, in a voice not much louder than a mosquito's hum, she said, "I can do it myself."

He Daqi smiled slightly, reached out and rubbed her head, then turned and returned to the stage. Behind him, the little girl was holding a handkerchief and looking at He Daqi's back with longing in her eyes.

"Sister, would you please give me this handkerchief?"

An abrupt voice interrupted the little girl's fantasy. The little girl turned her head and looked at the urban beauty who gently pulled her sleeve.

"Not out!"

The little girl quickly held the handkerchief in her arms and shook her head with determination. At this moment, she suddenly felt as if she was in a den of wolves, because the women around her all looked at the handkerchief in her arms with ill intentions.

He Daqi on the stage certainly didn't know that a small incident happened after he turned around. He returned to his original position with the microphone and nodded at Ning Hao, indicating that Ning Hao should continue to recall his difficult years.

Ning Hao lost interest at this moment. He waved his hand and handed the microphone to Du Qifeng.

"Thank you all for your support of the movie. Without further ado, let's go straight to watching the movie."

Du Qifeng was not in the mood either. The dark circles under his eyes were obvious due to the days of running around. He took the microphone and gave his closing remarks happily, then led a group of actors off the stage.

While the audience was engrossed in the plot of the movie, the main creators sitting together in the audience began to chat in low voices.

"Director Du, have you figured out yesterday's box office statistics?"

"Don't ask me, I don't know either. Just ask Daqi directly. He usually receives data more than an hour earlier than me."

Noticing everyone's gazes turned towards him, He Daqi shook his head slightly: "It's just a rough estimate, but it's definitely over 40 million. It depends on how much more it exceeds."

As soon as the figure of 40 million came out, the originally exhausted people seemed to have received a shot of vitality, and they became visibly more energetic.

"Doesn't that mean that if we include today and tomorrow, the box office for the first six days will definitely exceed 55 million?" Ning Hao swallowed hard.

"Sister Liu said it can only be higher, not lower." He Daqi responded softly.

Du Qifeng secretly felt lucky. He glanced at Ning Hao inconspicuously. Fortunately, he did not give up the credit of the main director at that time. Although he thought at that time that Ning Hao was not famous, using himself as the main director as a gimmick would do better at the box office.

I never thought this movie would be as popular as Kung Fu Hustle!

Thinking of this, Du Qifeng turned his gaze and glanced at He Daqi again implicitly.

According to the current film market in Hong Kong, I’m afraid we won’t be able to afford He Daqi in the future.

hum!hum!hum!
He Daqi felt the vibration in his pocket and took out his silent phone to take a look.

Liu Ying called.

He Daqi turned his head slightly and found that Liu Ying, who was sitting in the distance, was waving at him. She looked excited and impatient, and it was obvious that she was about to tell him some news.

It is likely that the box office data has been received again. He Daqi doesn't even need to guess, because he has encountered this situation several times in the past few days.

He is different from Liu Ying. After the surprise of the first few days, he has become a little numb.

Box office? That's about it.

He waved at Liu Ying, indicating that he didn't want to answer the phone now. Anyway, the roadshow would be over soon, and it wouldn't prevent Liu Ying from telling him the details in the car.

He Daqi's most urgent thought at the moment is to quickly finish this last roadshow of the day, then fly all the way to the airport and have a good sleep after arriving in Guangzhou.

Because he was the leading actor, He Daqi only went to big cities and hadn't had a good rest for five consecutive days.

Most people really can't understand the torment of doing a roadshow in two cities in one day during the Spring Festival travel rush.

Only He Daqi could use the simulated training space to fall asleep whenever he wanted. Otherwise, after five days in a row, a normal person would have been hospitalized.

Compared with He Daqi, Ning Hao and his team also had a hard time, but it was much easier because Ning Hao and Du Qifeng could split up into two groups and only hang out in one city every day. They would only meet up in big cities.

The excitement of hearing the good news didn't last long. Less than half an hour later, fatigue set in for the actors. The conversation gradually died down, and everyone closed their eyes to rest.

Half asleep and half awake, He Daqi felt someone patting his arm, and then Ning Hao's voice came.

"Daqi, wake up, the movie is almost over, get ready to go on stage and communicate with the audience."

He Daqi opened his eyes and shook his head, then followed everyone back onto the stage.

Compared to the cheerful atmosphere before watching the movie, the audience is now obviously in a much more depressed mood.

“If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.”

As soon as Ning Hao finished speaking, more than half of the audience raised their hands.

"Give the microphone to that person." Du Qifeng pointed to an audience member in the front row and signaled to the staff below the stage.

"Director, I want to ask, isn't it said that there is no death penalty in Hong Kong? Why was Da Qi executed in the end of the movie?"

A beautifully dressed young lady asked indignantly, as if to say that it was because of the director's problem that He Daqi was unable to live a peaceful life with his daughter.

"Well... first of all, this is a movie, different from reality, and there is a certain amount of artistic processing. Secondly, Hong Kong has the death penalty, but before it returned to the motherland, death penalty sentences were generally pardoned and then gradually reduced, so many people did things without a bottom line.

In the end, the protagonist of the movie offends the white police chief, who uses his power to vent his displeasure at the protagonist's death. Although many people know that the protagonist is innocent, they can only watch him die under the pressure of power. So, at the end of the movie, after Hong Kong returns to the embrace of the motherland, the protagonist's daughter finally helps her father clear his name.

Du Qifeng talked freely, as he had responded to the same question many times. Sometimes he would even talk about how difficult life was for the people of Hong Kong in the past. This trick worked very well and often drew warm applause from the audience.

"Okay, next one."

……

After coming out of the cinema, He Daqi hurriedly signed a few autographs and found that more and more people were gathering around him.

"Excuse me everyone, Daqi's flight is about to depart. You can leave your contact information with this staff member. When Daqi has time, he will mail signatures to everyone. Now, please help Daqi clear the way so that he can catch the plane on time."

When they heard Liu Ying ask them to help Daqi clear the way, a group of fans instantly felt a sense of responsibility. The little girls turned into temporary staff and shouted loudly to help maintain order.

He Daqi breathed a sigh of relief after getting into the nanny car, then smiled and said to Qin Long who was driving, "Brother Long, thank you for your hard work. I fly every day, but you and Brother Hu have to each drive a car, taking turns driving on the highway and changing cities."

"It's my duty. Daqi, close your eyes and rest. You are so weak that you can't even speak now."

"Yeah." He Daqi nodded and narrowed his eyes.

Unfortunately, his wish to take a break did not come true.

After Liu Ying opened the car door and got in, she excitedly turned around and shouted, "Da Qi, do you know how many moviegoers there are in Korea right now?"

"...I don't know." He Daqi replied speechlessly.

"4.5 million. Gift in Room 7 has definitely broken the 10 million mark, but I don't know how high it can go. The current record in South Korea is 11.4 million. As the third film to break the 10 million mark, we have a good chance of breaking the Korean box office record."

After Liu Ying finished speaking, without waiting for He Daqi's response, she excitedly asked, "Daqi, do you know how much the box office of "Gift in Cell No. 7" reached in Hong Kong yesterday?"

He Daqi sighed and repeated lazily: "I don't know..."

"It's already 25 million! And then there's Macau, 20 million. I never thought Macau could contribute so much to the box office. Now the box office of Gift in Room 7 in Asia has exceeded 100 million, and it's only been less than five days!"

He Daqi didn't respond and just closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep.

He knew why the box office of Haojing was so high. In the past, the small gifts given to guests by entertainment venues there were cakes and the like. Since the joint release of The Gift of Room 7 on February 1st, the small gifts given there have all become movie tickets for The Gift of Room 7.

Some people would go to see it, and the big guys would usually give it to others, so many people who had never watched movies before also went to the cinema. In this case, "The Gift in Cell No. 7" had an astonishing box office in Macau.

Jingle Bell!
The cell phone rings.

It was a private cell phone, so He Daqi had to answer it.

When he took it out and saw that it was from Zhou Huimin calling, He Daqi's expression softened.

"Hey."

"Big revelation! The box office is booming..."

"I know. I also know that it's not just the mainland that's seeing box office success. It's also happening in Hong Kong, Macau, and South Korea, where the film was released at the same time."

"That's right, Liu Ying must have told you."

He Daqi chuckled and asked softly, "Are the children with you? I want to hear their voices."

"Wait a minute... be happy, be good, and say hello to daddy."

Listening to the two children's childish chatter on the phone, He Daqi felt that the fatigue of the past few days disappeared in an instant.

He Daqi coaxed the two children for a few words, and the phone was returned from the children to Zhou Huimin.

"Da Qi, haven't you checked your Yabo account in a few days? That blog post you posted on the 1st asking everyone to support your new movie has been forwarded thousands of times. Now everyone on Yabo is congratulating you on your new movie's box office success."

"Really? You don't announce the box office revenue every day, do you?"

"Yes, have you noticed that as your new movie's popularity on Yabo.com increases, more and more people who aren't your fans are going to the cinema out of curiosity? After our official announcement and your movie's release topped the charts, many celebrities have started contacting Yabo.com to join their fan base."

He Daqi could imagine Zhou Huimin's cheerful look even through the phone.

How could they not be happy? At the beginning of January, someone came to discuss investment, and the valuation of Yabo.com was over ten billion. However, at the end of the month and the beginning of February, after the official announcement and the release of He Daqi's new movie, many people suddenly realized that the previous valuation method was wrong.

Wang Rui directly closed the investment channel, obviously preparing to wait for the right price. The more than 100 million yuan that Zhou Huimin had invested increased tenfold in an instant. Although it was just paper data, it was enough to make Zhou Huimin smile like a weasel that had eaten chicken.

"After finishing the roadshow in Guangzhou, I'll go back to Beijing. How is Li Yixin doing over there? I'll go see her then."

"We've already arranged for her to join Yonghui Qiming. She'll start work after the new year. We've also assigned her an interpreter, so communicating with people in the company won't be a problem. Wang Rui has also met with her, and he said she's relatively stable now. She only gets upset when talking about her family, but that's not a big problem."

"Okay, just don't let anything happen to her on our land."
