Chapter 563 The other way around
"Wow, I've watched it twice and I'm still very moved. What do you think?"
"I felt the story was dull and not interesting at all. It was a waste of two hours of my time."
“It’s obviously beautiful!”
A young couple had a conflict. It is normal to have different aesthetic tastes, but it is easy for these two people to have conflicts when they talk to each other.
Gu Lu and Zhou Lin both thought the movie was good, but there was a small surprise: the latter's bracelet fell to the ground at the end of the movie.
So even when the movie ending song sounded and the audience around them left, Gu Lu and Zhou Lin were still looking down.
"What kind of bracelet is that? Why did it suddenly fall to the ground?" As the space between the seats was very narrow, Gu Lu half-knelt and groped around with difficulty.
"It's the clover necklace. I hung it on the chair when I stood up just now, and the buckle is loose." Zhou Lin reached his hand into the crack in the ground.
"Let's look for it later. It's dark now. It will be easier to find it after the credits are over and the lights are on." Gu Lu said, and consoled her, "It must be on the ground."
You are absolutely right.
But the ending song stopped playing and the big screen went black, so?
Is this Jinyi Cinema special? Gu Lu was about to say this when he heard a cheerful song coming from the theater speakers.
Then the screen lit up and played a slide show, one photo after another, all of which were the memories shared by Gu Lu and Zhou Lin.
Gu Lu himself doesn't like taking photos. Even when traveling, he basically doesn't take photos as souvenirs, so it is difficult to collect photos.
There are photos of Gu Lu and Zhou Lin participating in club activities during high school, group photos of the two when they entered Peking University, and even candid photos of the latter when they were in love.
This scene - Gu Lu felt familiar, because this was how he arranged it, bribing the staff of Zhou Xiaodian and arranging the proposal scene, it was exactly the same.
The only difference is that at this moment, familiar figures walked in from outside the theater: Li Guyuan, Gu Jiayu, Teacher Li (now the principal), Wei Jiao, President Jian, Aunt Fang, Wang Xiaoqin, Min Min...
Then Zhou Lin’s two little sisters came and brought a big bouquet of flowers.
At this moment, Gu Lu understood that the bracelet falling off and missing the premiere due to being busy were all premeditated. After all, it took time to invite people he was familiar with and people Zhou Lin was familiar with to witness this scene.
Wait - is the order of proposing wrong?
"We have a beginning and an end. I was the one who started the confession, so let me start the proposal as well." Zhou Lin took out a ring from the flowers, put it on her own hand, and then gave the other one to Gu Lu.
"We have been in love for almost two years. Is it time for Gulu to marry me?" Zhou Lin said.
He put the ring on himself and proposed to himself. Yes, this is something that Zhou Lin, who is extremely proactive, would do. It is very extraordinary.
"I wanted to propose last month," Gu Lu took out the ring.
Zhou Lin nodded and replied, "I know, that's why I dare to do this."
"You are afraid too." In Gu Lu's eyes, Zhou Lin is fearless.
"I'm also afraid of being rejected. It would be so embarrassing if I were rejected." Zhou Lin said, staring at Gu Lu's hand.
Gu Lu put on the ring, and the atmosphere group next to him started to make a noise, saying words like "give me a kiss" and so on to show off their love.
……
The proposal was successful. Both Gu Lu and Zhou Lin had some problems in their families, so it was convenient for them to determine the wedding date themselves.
It was their first time, so they searched online for an auspicious date.
Good things come in pairs.
In addition to Gu Zhou's good deeds, Hengdaohezi cooperated with Pingpingguo Culture Company to sell love letter peripherals. And it also received strong support from Xuecheng, with resources and money tilted.
Back to the movie, the key of "Love Letter" was not extended, and the domestic box office in one month was 19.6 billion, which was slightly less than the big data prediction. This was also because a good comedy was released in early March, which led to a slight reduction in the screening and box office. This story tells us that a good box office also depends on the support of peers.
The film was released in Japan for 21 days and grossed 31 billion yen.
The film was released in South Korea for 20 days and grossed 261 billion won.
In other countries such as Singapore and Malaysia, the release time is also two to three weeks, with a total of 1.2 million RMB.
It is difficult to schedule a movie to be released abroad for a month. Just like when a foreign imported movie is released in China, unless it is a big hit, the screening period is also about 20 days.
"The pressure is on you." Guo Dafa looked at the director in front of him.
Guo Dafa added, "The investment in Love Letter was only 50 million."
"'The Wandering Earth' will definitely not disappoint Mr. Guo," said Guo Fan. "I also hope Mr. Guo can invest in the second film."
The first film didn't even recoup its cost, and you're thinking of making a sequel. Where does your courage come from?
The success of Love Letter also made Guo Dafa feel relieved. After all, if The Wandering Earth failed, it would not be a major blow.
"Has it been decided that the film will be released during the National Day holiday?" Guo Dafa asked about the main point.
Including both large and small periods, there are a total of thirteen periods in China. In terms of box office, the National Day period is the second largest period after the Spring Festival period.
"Our creative team is confident," said Guo Fan. "Teacher Gu Lu's creation has given a perfect answer."
Yes, this year is the year that Gu Lu fully enters the film and television industry. Love Letter is just the beginning. The Wandering Earth during the National Day holiday and The Lord of the Rings during the Christmas holiday, the latter two are both blockbusters.
"Boss Guo, don't worry. This year will be the year of Gu Lu." Guo Fan comforted.
"Promotion and marketing must keep up." Guo Dafa responded.
"The Wandering Earth" is a film with a huge investment, so it is normal to spend tens of millions more on publicity and promotion.
However, since the movie began to be promoted, the sales of "The Wandering Earth", a collection of science fiction short stories, have also seen a significant increase.
From March to May, time passed in a flash. During this period, Gu Lu got married, with the wedding ceremonies held in Sijiu City and Wudu respectively.
I won't go into detail about life after marriage, anyway, I'll listen to An Ning. But because of Gu Lu and Da Ying who was thousands of miles away, many people were not at peace.
"Mr. Weicodo, you look listless today."
"Really? I feel great."
"So no milk in coffee today?"
In the tea room, Wei Keduo was talking to Ms. Tuni, who was in charge of office logistics. The former realized it only after hearing what was said. No wonder it tasted so bitter.
"I want to drink something different," Wei Keduo said stubbornly.
"Really? Oh, okay that's my problem," Tuni lowered her head and drank her apple juice.
"Tuni, I have a friend who is carrying out a consulting assignment that lasted for more than half a year. Now it is almost over, but he feels not in good spirits. What do you think is wrong?" asked Wei Keduo.
"I think it might be because the results are coming soon and they have been providing counseling for so long that they are worried that the results will not be worth their efforts," Tuni said. "Maybe this is the reason for your friend."
Really? Wei Keduo thought about it and it was true. It was almost May, the deadline for Chinese writers to submit their manuscripts, and he was worried that Gu Lu's writing would be too bad...
