A great director who grew up happily

Around this time, many workers who have just returned from vacation are still indulging in holiday syndrome and have no intention of working at all.

I could only slack off as usual to kill time before starting my official work. As a result, I discovered this hot search among many "national affairs" and was then attracted to the movie.

In the public's memory, online movies are actually synonymous with rough and inferior quality. Their level is the quality of Wanhe Tianyi's early works, with fire special effects on the left hand, ice special effects on the right hand, and fake costumes and props.

It relies more on playing with memes rather than winning by storytelling and shooting quality.

But when this group of people watched "Take My Brother Away", they were surprised to find that online movies had begun to produce high-quality movies without their knowledge.

Out of a sense of cognitive superiority, they can spontaneously share these discoveries with colleagues, friends or family around them to prove their unique vision and gain a sense of satisfaction.

As a result, Chen Jinnian's name and the name of the movie began to appear more and more frequently on the Internet, and were noticed by more people. The movie's box office share also began to increase rapidly.

Just like this summer, the first popular online drama "Grave Robbers' Chronicles" brought a large number of new members to iQiyi, Chen Jinnian's movie also drove the growth of Penguin Video's membership users.

However, in terms of influence alone, it is indeed several orders of magnitude lower than the online drama "Grave Robbers' Chronicles".

After all, this web drama, which cost over 100 million yuan to produce, set off a bloody storm throughout the summer vacation.

It has brought about unprecedented unity in the film and television circles, which have long been criticizing each other. Fans of the original novel, film and television enthusiasts, film and television practitioners, etc., all fired at it at the same time, complained crazily, and mocked it.

Its scale, impact and harsh criticism were so great that perhaps only "Shanghai Cannons", which was also released during the summer vacation a few years later, could compete with it.

However, the above are not important to Chen Jinnian. What he has to do every day now is to calculate how much money he has earned after getting up every day.

Today is the fourth day of the National Day holiday. He picked up his mobile phone and started checking the latest data.

The movie was released on September 9th. As of the data released yesterday morning, the movie's box office share is still some distance away from 27 million.

So what he wants to know most now is what the box office was yesterday, October 10nd.

As soon as he saw the title, he excitedly jumped out of bed, ran barefoot to the living room, and shouted, "Mom, Dad, my movie's box office revenue has exceeded 10 million. I'm officially heading towards my goal of 20 million."

Because the information just released is that the six-day box office revenue has exceeded 10 million, breaking the record for online movie box office.

By accident, he broke another record.

"Good son, Mom knows you are the best. Let's go to Happiness Street at noon today, and Mom will treat you to a good meal." Su Ying smiled happily and promised immediately.

But after hearing this, Chen Ming was stunned for a moment and felt sad about his impending loss of family status. It turned out that thanks to his economic contribution, he could still barely rank ahead of his son.

Now that his eldest son is earning money and his second son is about to be born, his status in the family has plummeted and his good days are over.

Chen Jinnian didn't notice his father's expression. Just after he shared the good news, he saw his cell phone ringing.

"Maizi, why did you call me when you have time?"

"Haha, since you didn't call me, I had to call you. Humph, do you still have me as your sister in your heart?" Zhao Jinmai sat at the desk in the bedroom, talking while poking the test paper in front of her with a pen.

"Of course I did. Didn't I even send you a few test papers?" Chen Jinnian said sarcastically.

"You said you didn't give test papers as gifts," Zhao Jinmai shouted. "I finally got a holiday, and my mom made me do these crappy test papers of yours. It's all your fault."

"Okay, okay, I was just joking. I didn't expect Auntie to take it seriously. By the way, I received the digital copy I sent you. The packaging is custom-made. There are only 20 copies. You must keep it well."

The digital copy was specially edited and produced by Chen Jinnian to commemorate his first film. It is different from the version played on the platform. Not only is the main content more casual, but it also adds a lot of behind-the-scenes shots and NG shots. The total length is more than 3 hours.

Zhao Jinmai opened the drawer, and inside was an exquisite black gift box with a still of the two of them inlaid on the front, covered by a layer of ultra-white glass.

Looking at their two frozen, bright smiles, she raised the corners of her mouth slightly and said, "Well, it's not bad."

"That's right, my vision is definitely correct." Chen Jinnian's boastful voice came.

"Oh, congratulations on your movie's box office exceeding 10 million." Zhao Jinmai pretended to be nonchalant and said, "Also, don't forget what you promised me. Remember to find me to film with you."

"Are you still short of roles to play? I guess all your filming plans are booked until next year." Chen Jinnian said jokingly.

But this is also the fact, she will soon become Zhang Jiayi's exclusive daughter.

"That's different. You said you would give me a role as the female lead," said Zhao Jinmai.

Hearing this, he scratched his head. That was mentioned during a casual chat on the set, and he was referring to "The Beginning".

But I didn't expect that he leaked the script in advance. I can't wait until the other party grows up before filming.

Moreover, this is the only web drama script he has, and he can't change it even if he wants to. He can only find a suitable one later.

"Don't worry, I will pay attention and will definitely give you a drama with the female lead." Chen Jinnian promised.

"That's pretty much it."

The two chatted for a while until Zhao Jinmai's mother called her out, and then they ended the call.

On the Internet, the movie became a minor hit again because of the fact that its box office revenue exceeded 10 million yuan, especially in the "Director Chen Jinnian" forum. A large number of new posts began to appear on this new website which was only created two or three days ago.

However, the people gathered here did not appreciate his talent, but were simply attracted by his good looks.

Under the top post, everyone started to communicate

"Sisters, it's been so many days, and there's no information at all. There's no information about Nian Nian on Weibo or on any Wikipedia page, not even a single photo."

"I've been undercover in Mai Mai's fan group, but... I haven't found anything. However, I just saw Mai Mai post a photo of a gift box with the caption saying it was a limited edition three-hour copy of the movie from his brother."

"Wow, I'll give you 10,000. Sell me one."

"Don't dream, this is a limited edition and it won't be released."

"Oh my god, which sister can reveal some information? I feel so uncomfortable now."

Among those who read the post, there was a sweet-looking girl who was very hesitant. She knew she shouldn't say it, but it was really painful to keep the secret.

After struggling for a long time, her gossip spirit finally overcame her reason, and she posted a message under the post.

"Niannian is a student at Beijing Chunfeng Middle School and is in her third year of high school this year."

As soon as these words were spoken, it was like a stone that caused a thousand ripples, and the screen was instantly flooded with messages.
