Chapter 458 Target Box Office: 35 Million

The school also wanted to hold a donation certificate awarding ceremony for Wang Zuxian, but Wang Zuxian declined.

For this reason, Wang Cizhao called Zhou Yan again, hoping that Zhou Yan could talk to Wang Zuxian, but Zhou Yan helped Wang Zuxian and refused again.

Wang Zuxian finally came to Yanjing, but he had no time to attend any ceremony.

The weather forecast was very accurate, it started to snow on the evening of the 14th.

On the morning of the 15th, Wang Zuxian got up very early and excitedly built a snowman in the yard.

When Zhou Yan got up, her snowman was almost ready.

Her snowman was piled up nicely. Not only did she put eyes and noses on the students, but she also put on hats and scarves.

After building the snowman, she wanted to go out and have a snowball fight, but after walking around the door and seeing no one having a snowball fight, she returned disappointed.

"With such heavy snow, no one goes out to have a snowball fight? I thought there would be a group of children having a snowball fight in the alley."

She got up early in the morning just to go out and see if there were any children having a snowball fight and see if she could blend into the battlefield.

Zhou Yan smiled and said, "Today is the middle of the week. The older children have gone to school, and the younger children probably haven't gotten up yet. Who doesn't want to sleep a little longer in this cold weather? It's not like this snow Run, there should be people having a snowball fight in the alley after school in the evening."

"Then I'll go out at night." She was still unwilling to give in and wanted to have a snowball fight with others.

After going out for a run, Wang Zuxian felt extremely hot when he entered the house. While taking off his clothes, he asked Zhou Yan, "Do you have work today?"

"I'm not working today. I'm going to Sister Feng's house to eat hot-pot."

"Mr. Xu? Has she come to Yanjing?" Wang Zuxian said unexpectedly.

"Well, when you went out just now, she called me and said that she had arrived in Yanjing and asked me to go to her residence and treat me to some hot-pot."

"Should I go too?"

"Go, she knows you are in Yanjing and asked me to inform you."

"Well, does she live far from here?"

"Not far." Zhou Yan pointed to the southwest, "She has a courtyard near Changchun Temple. If the weather is good, it only takes ten minutes to ride there."

Xu Feng bought his courtyard house very early. When they first met, Zhou Yan took his younger brothers and sisters there. Although it was not big, it was well decorated.

"Would you like to bring some gifts?" Wang Zuxian asked.

"Forget it about gifts, she doesn't live here often, and it's not easy for her to handle the gifts. I asked her if she wanted to bring meat, and she said everything was ready."

"Oh, okay."

…

At ten o'clock, the two of them packed up and headed to Xu Feng's courtyard house together.

Xu Feng was cutting meat and came out wearing an apron to open the door for them.

"Come in, it's cold outside."

After inviting them into the house, Xu Feng said with a smile, "Don't be polite when you come to my place. You can pour the tea yourself. I don't live here very much, and I brought the tea from Shanghai. You just have to drink it." The red teapot on the table contains hot water that I just boiled."

"Sister Feng, don't worry about drinking water. We can handle it ourselves. Aren't we talking about eating hot-boiled meat? What are you busy with?"

"Don't you want to cut the meat?"

"Just let the enthusiastic stall owner help you cut it."

"That's so boring. When eating shabu-shabu at home, what you want is the feeling of doing it yourself. Just sit down and cut it while there's still a little bit of meat left."

Her kitchen is right next to the pantry, but this kitchen is definitely not used very much. The last time Zhou Yan and the others came, Xu Feng also ordered food from outside.

Zhou Yan stood at the door of the kitchen and asked, "Why do you think of cooking meat at home?"

"I also had a sudden idea. I originally wanted to take you out to eat tonight, but last night I suddenly wanted to eat hot-boiled meat, so I went to buy meat in the morning."

"Is there anyone else today?"

"And Factory Director Han."

"Oh, third brother is coming too."

"The movie is about to be released, and he has been very busy recently. Originally, I wanted to call more people, including all the actors in Yanjing, but after thinking about it, I forgot about it and waited until the premiere was full. Let's talk about it later." Then she looked at Wang Zuxian again, "Xiaoxian, why are you here so early this time?"

Wang Zuxian smiled and said, "I don't have much to do recently. I heard it was going to snow, so I came over early."

"Afraid of heavy snowfall and delaying the trip?"

"That's not true. I just want to see the snow."

Xu Feng nodded, "Yes, there is indeed less snow in Taiwan, let alone heavy snow like this. I was very excited when I encountered snow in Yanjing for the first time. The snow here is completely different from the snow over there. no the same."

"Yes, the snow over there melts when it touches our clothes. It's not like here. It doesn't feel like snow, just like salt."

"You've gotten used to it over time. When I see snow now, I'm not as excited as I was back then. I heard that you donated a piano to Yangyin, and you were very generous. Did Zhou Yan do some work for you?"

Wang Zuxian glanced at Zhou Yan, nodded and said, "Yeah, I just heard him say that many of Yangyin's pianos are no longer good, so I will donate some. The director has already spoken, and I must have some discernment, otherwise the director will not look for me in the future. Filming."

"He doesn't even donate himself, so he asks you to donate."

Zhou Yan said with a smile, "Sister Feng, there are hundreds of pianos in our school, most of them are no longer in use. The twenty pianos she donated this time can only be said to be a drop in the bucket. How about you donate some too?"

Xu Feng said very grandly, "Okay, Director Zhou, how many aircraft do you think would be appropriate to donate?"

"Don't donate too much. Just donate a hundred crosses and I'll see."

Xu Feng rolled his eyes and said, "How dare you speak? You might as well let me contract all the pianos in your school."

"Then we have to double it again."

Xu Feng finished cutting the last piece of meat. She washed her hands and said, "Now that you have spoken, I can't help but express my gratitude. Let's do this. My donation will not be in vain. For every additional 5 million in the box office of "Space Traveler" , I will donate a piano.”

"RMB?"

"Well, RMB."

"Global box office?"

"That won't work, just the mainland box office." Zhou Yan said with a smile, "Sister Feng, you are a bit stingy. Even if the box office is 50 million, it is only ten pianos, only half of what Xiaoxian donated. I don't care. "The main reason is that you have no place to put your face. You are a film and television legend and a famous female entrepreneur. This is not a loss of status."

"Don't put me on the shelf either. I'll give in too. Three million for one."

"One million, that's a good deal."

"Two million."

"Okay, deal." Zhou Yan said immediately.

If the box office of "Space Traveler" reaches 40 to 50 million, then Xu Feng will also donate more than 20 pianos. Adding the 20 pianos donated by Wang Zuxian, it can be said to be a very big deal for Yangyin's piano room. Upgraded.

Not all of the hundreds of pianos at Yangyin are unusable, and only less than a hundred of them are particularly bad. If these are replaced, the students' experience will be much better.

This money is nothing to Xu Feng. She wishes she could have a box office of 100 million, so she donated fifty pianos without blinking an eye.

Fifty pianos only cost more than 500,000 yuan. Compared with the profit of 100 million yuan at the box office, it is definitely not worth mentioning.

After Xu Feng washed his hands, he walked to the sofa with a tea cup and sat down. He asked Wang Zuxian with a smile, "Xiaoxian, do you have a new job recently?"

Wang Zuxian shook his head, "No, I want to take a rest in the near future."

"You've had a long break in the past two years."

"When I worked a lot in the past, I didn't feel it. Now when I stop, I become lazy and don't want to work. Besides, my parents are getting older, and I want to spend more time with them."

"Well, your idea is right." Xu Feng looked at Zhou Yan again, "You have to study this hard. I'm scared to see the intensity of your work now. It's even busier than mine."

Xu Feng has always told Zhou Yan not to increase his work intensity too high, but Zhou Yan has not listened and has never stopped working in these years.

Now Xu Feng rarely says this to Zhou Yan, because she thinks that Zhou Yan seems to be able to keep busy.

As for personal issues... Xu Feng circled around Zhou Yan and Wang Zuxian, and she guessed that there was something going on between them.

Wang Zuxian couldn't hide the look in his eyes when he looked at Zhou Yan.

In fact, Xu Feng was a little regretful. She had a good personal relationship with Dong Wenmiao. She had always thought that Zhou Yan and Dong Wenmiao were a good match, but they didn't seem to have any fate.

Based on her understanding of Dong Wenmiao, Dong Wenmiao must have feelings for Zhou Yan. When they met at Yanjing Studio, Dong Wenmiao took the initiative to speak to Zhou Yan.

Dong Wenmiao is such a proud girl. She can take the initiative to speak for a man, which is definitely unusual.

If Zhou Yan and Wang Zuxian were together, she would naturally support them. The two have known each other for so many years, so they should be very compatible.

And now that Wang Zuxian is slowly putting down his work, this shows that the two of them have long-term possibilities.

If Joey Wong continues to act in several movies a year as he did before, it will be difficult for the two of them to stay together for a long time.

Although Xu Feng is an independent woman, she knows very well that when two people start a family, if both of them are busy with their own affairs, problems will arise in the relationship over time.

One person has to make the adjustment, or two people have to make the adjustment.

Zhou Yan said with a smile, "I have been taking a break recently. After finishing the post-production of "Space Traveler", I felt a lot more relaxed. During this time, I feel a little idle."

Xu Feng rolled his eyes, "What you think is a leisurely life may be considered crazy busy by others. I guess in your eyes, as long as you don't have to work until midnight at night, it's considered leisurely."

"It's not that exaggerated. Didn't I come to your place to eat shabu-shabu today? If you didn't call me, I would have been reading at home today."

"Really? Didn't I hear that you are currently writing a script for a stage play?"

"Well, I'm going to write for a while this afternoon."

"Look, you still can't take any time off."

In fact, Zhou Yan not only had to write the script for "The Greatest Showman", but also communicated with Alan Kleeman about the soundtrack for "The Winter Visitor".

Zhou Yan had previously promised Alan Kliman to provide the soundtrack for his new movie "The Winter Visitor", and the filming of this movie has already started.

Although this job is not big, Zhou Yan still has to put in effort. The key is that it is too far away and it is not very convenient to do the work.

Zhou Yan originally planned to go to the UK at the end of the year, but now it seems that the plan may be postponed.

Fortunately, Alan Kliman is not in a hurry, so it doesn't matter if Zhou Yan intervenes later.

…

It was not until half past eleven that Han Sanping arrived late.

Han Sanping apologized as soon as he arrived, "I'm really sorry. There are still some things to do in the factory, so I kept you waiting for so long."

"It's not too late, it's not too late. It's not yet dinner time. You're just in time. Let's go straight to the pot and cook the meat." Xu Feng said.

Xu Feng made a copper pot, but the soup base was more like Chaoshan beef shabu-shabu. Only mineral water was poured into the pot, a few slices of ginger, and a little wolfberry.

As for the dipping sauce, I returned to Yanjing Shabu-Shabu Mutton, prepared some sesame sauce, and also got some spicy oil.

"You can choose whatever dipping sauce you want." Xu Feng took out a bottle of Wuliangye and a decanter filled with red wine while taking out the sauce. "Director Han, although you have to work in the afternoon, It’s a rare opportunity. Let’s have two drinks at noon. You two gentlemen will drink white wine, and we two ladies will drink red wine.”

Han Sanping didn't give in. He nodded directly and said, "Okay, this is a rare opportunity. Let's have a drink at noon. But I have agreed that there must be no less celebration wine later."

"Of course, we are not the only ones having a celebratory drink. When you weren't here just now, Zhou Yan was coaxing me, saying that for every two million more in the box office, I would donate a piano to Yangyin."

Han Sanping laughed, "It's different now that my third brother is the director. He has started to sponsor the school. According to you, how many pianos can be donated this time?"

"No one can say for sure about the box office. If the movie is shot well and promoted well, the rest depends on fate. "Time Traveler" is definitely a good movie, but a good movie may not necessarily achieve high box office. "

Xu Feng was confident about the box office performance of "Time Traveler", but in front of Han Sanping, she couldn't say it fully.

If something unexpected happens later and the box office fails to meet expectations, Han Sanping will also be disappointed.

Of course Han Sanping knew Xu Feng's concerns. He said with a smile, "Mr. Xu, you don't have to be so conservative in front of me. I personally think that this movie should have a box office of 35 million, and as long as it reaches this box office , I am very satisfied.”

The box office of 35 million is not particularly high, but it is not low either. It is reasonable for Han Sanping to set the target at this number.

Last year, there were a total of nine movies with a domestic box office of more than 35 million yuan, four of which were shot by Chinese directors, namely "Spring of the Cowherd Class" with 510 million yuan, "Sunny Days" with 50 million yuan, and 4,000 yuan. Wan's "Red Pink" and 40 million's "Red Cherry".

So far this year, the only Chinese films with a box office of more than 35 million are "Simple Mission" and "Kong Fansen", while "Kong Fansen" is the only one produced in the mainland.

Therefore, the figure of 35 million is very interesting. It is very high, but the probability of Zhou Yan achieving it is also very high. After all, Zhou Yan has accomplished this goal more than once. (End of chapter)
