1980 My literary era

Chapter 865 You look like jelly to me!

The popularity of "Don't Knock on the Door Tomorrow" after its release was not unexpected. This is Lin Weimin's work. It is not new to sell well, but it is new to sell poorly.

All 600,000 copies sold out in the first week. After 800,000 additional copies were printed and distributed to bookstores all over the country, readers continued to rush to buy the book.

The sales volume of "Don't Knock on the Door Tomorrow Again" was expected by everyone, but the sales volume of the new batch of Chunbuhuhu series of books that were released almost at the same time surprised everyone.

To be precise, it should be the sales of "First Intimate Contact".

The first printing of this novel was 200,000 copies, and the stock bottomed out in the first week of release. This sales speed is second to none among Qingchun Buhu's previous works, and can be said to be outstanding among the Buhu series.

With sales of nearly 200,000 copies in the first week, it seems to be another super bestseller.

The most interesting thing is the audience of this novel. According to feedback from bookstores in various places, the readers who buy this novel are almost all young people. College students, high school students and young people who have just entered the workforce make up the main readership.

At this point, "First Intimate Contact" is very consistent with the positioning of Youth Buhu.

On this afternoon in early September, Lin Weimin returned home from get off work. Xiaodoubao, who had just returned from kindergarten not long ago, jumped out of the house and hugged his thigh.

"Dad, Mom said my roller skating rink is ready. Can you take me to see it?"

Lin Weimin picked her up and scratched her little nose, "You are quite well informed."

Xiaodou Bao looked proud and hugged his father's neck, "Okay?"

"good!"

At this time Tao Huimin said: "Let's go after dinner."

Xiaodoubao shook Lin Weimin's neck. She did not dare to resist her mother's decision, so she encouraged her father to resist the decree.

"I'll take her to have a look first. It's still early anyway. I'll be back soon."

As Lin Weimin said this, he was about to go out with his little bean bag. The little girl smiled brightly, her eyes met her mother's, and she quickly glanced away, pretending not to see it.

Tao Huimin was worried about her father and daughter going out, so she had to follow them.

The newly built roller skating rink is not far from Lin Weimin's home. It takes less than 20 minutes to walk. It's even faster to drive and it's just a kick of the gas.

From a distance it looks like a gymnasium, and it can be seen that it is newly built.

When we arrived at the door, the door of the roller skating rink was open at this time, and there were still people busy inside.

It’s my first time to come here for Xiaodoubao, and the first thing I noticed is that it’s big.

"Wow!" She exclaimed, her eyes wide open as if she had seen a new world.

The roof truss of the roller skating rink adopts a steel grid structure. This structure is suitable for stadiums, theaters, exhibition halls, waiting halls and other buildings. The biggest feature is that the structure can be used to achieve large spans and provide greater internal space for the building. .

This is how the roller skating rink looks to Xiaodou Bao. The entire roller skating rink is vast and open, and with the lifting frame over 10 meters high, in the eyes of Xiao Dou Bao, there seems to be nothing bigger in the world.

Before she even got off her father's arms, she was already so happy that she was so happy that she clapped her hands vigorously, "That's great!"

When Lin Weimin put her down, she rushed out in one stride, running around in the huge roller skating rink, looking left and right, and within two minutes she was out of breath.

Tired from running, she squatted on the ground and looked at the ground with interest.

The surface of the roller skating rink is made of concrete, with a gravel layer and concrete cushion underneath. Steel bars are also placed in the surface concrete. The surface is made of imported wear-resistant colored sand, which is very hard and wear-resistant. Sex is also very high.

In order to get this ground ready, Li Guangfu's people paid a high price to hire a master who built the venues for the Asian Games. Although the entire ground was poured in separate warehouses, the flatness was controlled within 2m/3mm. The standard was not Normally high.

Xiaodoubao looked at the ground as smooth as a mirror, with a strange light shining in her eyes. As she watched, she actually fell to the ground.

Tao Huimin hurriedly pulled her up, "What are you doing? Are you dirty?"

"Mom, look, does it look like jelly?" Xiaodou Bao said, pointing to the ground.

Tao Huimin glared, "You look like jelly to me!"

After being scolded by his mother, Xiaodoubao ran to Lin Weimin's legs, pointed at the people working on the shelf against the wall and asked, "Dad, what are these uncles doing?"

"They're painting!"

"Painting?" Xiao Doubao's eyes showed confusion, "Shouldn't drawing be done on paper?"

"The uncles are painting murals. They have just started painting. You will be able to tell in a few days." Lin Weimin said to his daughter.

The people working on the shelves were teachers and students Lin Weimin invited from the Mural Department of Central America. When he came to inspect the roller skating rink after it was completed, he felt that it was a bit monotonous because it was so bare. The steel grid on the roof could not be decorated. , but the wall could use some decoration, since the putty is all on it anyway.

So he invited people from CAFA to add some color to the wall of the roller skating rink.

The paintings they were going to make were all selected by Lin Weimin himself, and they were all classic images and scenes from cartoons released by Humei Factory a few years ago.

"Havoc in Heaven", "Nezha in the Sea", "Tales from the Heavenly Book", "Black Cat Sheriff", "Calabash Brothers", "Nine-Colored Deer", "Peacock Princess"...

If Jin Guoping came and saw this scene, he would probably have to ask Lin Weimin for copyright fees.

Listening to her father describe the scene after the painting of these uncles, Xiaodoubao couldn't help but be fascinated, and she made a request to her old father.

"Dad, after my uncles finish painting, can I invite my classmates to play together?"

"Okay!"

"Great!" Xiaodoubao clapped his little hands and jumped up.

The family of three stayed at the roller skating rink for a while and then drove back home.

Lin Weimin found Han Zhuangzhuang's car parked at the door, entered the courtyard, and saw their family.

"Old uncle! Old aunt!"

"came back?"

"Um."

After saying hello, Tao Huimin took the bean buns to wash her hands and face, and Lin Weimin chatted with Han Zhuangzhuang.

Han Zhuangzhuang has been busy with the promotion of "Hero" during this period. "Hero" was released in the United States in mid-August. The main creators of the movie all went to the United States. Han Zhuangzhuang only returned to China yesterday.

When it came to the release of "Hero" in the United States, Han Zhuangzhuang looked excited and couldn't wait to introduce it to Lin Weimin.

"Hero" is not Colombia's biological son, but he is still a godson, and the treatment was pretty good when it was released.

It was released in 960 theaters across the United States, with a box office of 20.8 million US dollars in the first three days of the weekend. At this time, the American film market is at the end of the summer season, and many blockbusters that can be released have been released, even those that have not been released. It has long been sluggish, but "Hero" easily won the box office championship that week.

Seeing how popular "Hero" was, theaters quickly expanded the screening scale. The next week, the screening scale of "Hero" reached 1,420, and the film schedule also increased accordingly.

"Heroes" lived up to the expectations of its distributor, Columbia Pictures, and theater chains. In the seven days of its second week of release, "Heroes" grossed US$53.7 million at the box office, ranking first in the box office of the North American film market for the second consecutive week.

After 10 days of release, "Hero" has achieved excellent box office results in the United States. At the same time, its reputation is also growing. Many news media have reported on this movie from China.

The Hollywood Reporter called the film "a visual blockbuster of the art of war and the aesthetics of violence."

"Variety" said: "'Heroes' is an epic blockbuster with oriental aesthetics and is qualified to win the next Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film!"

The New York Times even reported the grand release of "Hero" in the United States in two pages, commenting: ""Hero" broke the American audience's inherent impression of Chinese movies. It is beautiful and mysterious. , just like the mysterious ancient oriental country from which it comes. It has a box office of more than 70 million US dollars in just 10 days of release, proving the extraordinary charm of "Hero". It is undoubtedly the best film of the year."

The box office and word-of-mouth are both booming. This is the current situation after "Hero" was released in the United States.

Han Zhuangzhuang described these situations with pride on his face.

After listening to what he said for a long time, Lin Weimin nodded, "Not bad, not bad."

Regarding the box office of "Hero", Michael Phillips has actually been giving him feedback, which is much more timely than Han Zhuangzhuang's.

The third week of the release of "Hero" has come to an end. This week, it has received a box office of 41.1 million US dollars, which is an ideal drop. The cumulative box office of "Hero" has also reached 115.6 million US dollars. It seems that it should not be difficult to break through 150 million US dollars. But the 200 million mark is unrealistic.

Han Zhuangzhuang looked a little regretful, "It would have been better if it hadn't been rated PG-13."

"This has no impact. There are few movies that can attract audiences of all ages and achieve such good results. For "Hero", it is enough."

"Hero" was rated PG-13 before it was released in the United States. Children under the age of 13 must watch it with their parents. It did have an impact on the box office to a certain extent, but this impact was not reflected in "Hero". The box office revenue achieved is negligible.

"How many days can you stay at home?"

"One week. The movie will be released in Europe next week, so I have to go there." Han Zhuangzhuang said.

Strangely enough, it is said that Han Zhuangzhuang and Ni Hong are incredibly popular in Europe.

Everyone said that Gong Li is very popular in Europe and the United States, and Zhang Guorong is very popular in South Korea. This is understandable to Lin Weimin, but Han Zhuangzhuang's popularity in Nihong really makes him confused.

But if you think about it carefully, you can understand it. After all, when Cheng Long got married, there was Ni Hong who committed suicide for him!

While eating, Han Zhuangzhuang suddenly asked Lin Weimin, "Uncle, is it time to replace your car?"

Lin Weimin immediately became vigilant, "What car should I change?"

When Han Zhuangzhuang saw his expression, there was a bit of disdain on his face, "As soon as I break the Mercedes-Benz, I will give you my treasure. Don't worry, I don't care about it."

"I'll drive you crazy!" Lin Weimin scolded him.

Han Zhuangzhuang didn't take it seriously and discussed the car issue with Lin Weimin.

"Hero" was a hit at the box office. In addition to Wenhua Film and Television and a group of partners who made a lot of money, it was also the film's main creators like Han Zhuangzhuang.

Although they don't get much of the domestic box office, that's because of production costs.

Now that overseas releases are in full swing, it is possible that the box office in the United States alone will be around 150 million.

Excluding the division of accounts with theaters and distribution companies, the producer still has about 30%, which is about more than 40 million US dollars. The creative team gets 10%, and almost everyone can get hundreds of thousands of US dollars. , and this is just the dividends paid by one country, the United States.

If we really calculate it carefully, "Hero" can bring at least more than 1 million yuan in income to each film creator.

Although Han Zhuangzhuang's salary is high, he still has to act in one film after another. How can he make money so happily like the box office dividend of "Hero"?

He has been working for 20 years and has never made such easy money.

When he mentioned the car to Lin Weimin, his main purpose was to change it to a Mercedes-Benz. He had been coveting Lin Weimin's Mercedes-Benz for a long time, so it was called a car driven by a man.

This time he won't pick up other people's second-hand cars, and he doesn't want to drive a junk car anymore. He must change to a luxury car.

Regarding his performance, Lin Weimin had only one comment: Dog meat will not make it to the table.

Earning hundreds of thousands of dollars is enough to make a fortune, but those who don’t know think you have achieved a small goal?
