Rebirth of Xiangjiang - 1978

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, I don't know if it was because of upset, but after Wang Jing and three other people had dinner at Lin Daoqiu's place, they made an appointment to go to Wen Juan's house to continue drinking together.

The three of them drank until they fell unconscious, as if they wanted to temporarily forget all their troubles.

Fortunately, Wenjun's house is big enough. Even if the three of them are drunk, there is a room for them to sleep. They don't need to lie on the sofa in the living room to spend the night.

Zheng Danrui was the first to get up early the next morning. He felt dizzy after he got up because he drank too much last night.

After briefly freshening up, Zheng Danrui came to the dining table and sat down alone.

Because of the Chinese New Year, Wen Juan bought a lot of things and stored them in the refrigerator, but Zheng Danrui was able to find something in it and make a simple breakfast.

Not long after, Wang Jing and Wen Juan also got up one after another, but it could be seen that they were not very awake yet.

"By the way, the box office is going out today. Should we go to New Oriental?"

Today is the day of the box office. Logically speaking, Wen Juan and the others should not have been so drunk yesterday.

However, neither Wang Jing nor Wen Jun believed that the drama "God of Gamblers" had the possibility of counterattack, so they did not plan to go to New Oriental to wait for the box office, and simply drank to their heart's content.

"Let's forget it. Even if it passes now, I'm afraid there won't be any good news, so why waste this energy? I'm going home first."

Wang Jing spent the night at Wen Juan's place last night without telling his family, so he had to go home quickly. After all, it is not suitable to spend the night outside during the Chinese New Year.

Since Wang Jing didn't want to go, Zheng Danrui wouldn't force him, and then he turned his head to Wen Juan.

"Aren't you curious at all about what the box office of our drama was on the first day?"

Zheng Danrui didn't believe that Wen Juan didn't care at all.

In fact, Wen Jun didn't want to know how much "God of Gamblers" took at the box office on the first day, but he was afraid that he would be even more discouraged after seeing the box office, which would affect his mood during the New Year.

If that's the case, it's better not to watch it. You're already sentenced to death anyway, so you might as well just make yourself happy.

"If you're not busy, come and have a look. I have to go back to my parents' place. I've agreed with them that we'll have dinner together today."

It actually doesn’t take long to go to the New Oriental box office, and if they really want to know, they can just make a phone call and ask.

But under normal circumstances, unless they really can't make it, most people will still choose to wait at the company's box office instead of just making a phone call.

Sometimes the sense of ritual is very important. After all, a movie normally takes at least several months from planning to filming.

I have invested so much time and energy in this, and of course I hope there will be a good return in the end.

"In that case, let me go over and take a look. If there is any news, I will call you."

Zheng Danrui knew that what Wen Juan just said was just an excuse, but he did not expose the other party. After all, it is really difficult to face this kind of thing calmly.

Once the box office of "God of Gamblers" only reaches 3 to 4 million on the first day, it will almost be certain that they will be out of the game.

After leaving Wenjun, Zheng Danrui drove to New Oriental Company alone.

Due to the Chinese New Year holiday, only the security guard is on duty at the front desk, and the front desk lady will not return to work until after the seventh day of the Lunar New Year.

After saying hello to the security guard, Zheng Danrui entered the elevator and went directly to the top floor.

But as soon as Zheng Danrui walked out of the elevator door, he suddenly saw Xu Guanwen and others entering the conference room.

It seems that Xu Guanwen came here specifically to watch the box office of "A Happy Event in the Family" today. After all, he is the star and director of "A Happy Event in the Family", so it is normal for him to appear here at this time.

"Congratulations on getting rich and good luck."

When Wenjun entered the conference room, he found that it was very lively.

Xu Guanwen, Mai Jia, Huang Baiming, Gao Zhisen, Liu Zhenwei and others were all sitting in the conference room. It seemed that they were all waiting for the first day's box office.

After saying hello to everyone, Zheng Danrui found a seat and sat down.

"Why are you the only one here? Where are the others?"

Mai Jia looked at Zheng Danrui with curiosity, because there are two important characters in the movie "God of Gamblers", Wang Jing and Wen Jun. Why is it that only Wen Jun came to watch the box office today?

"They have other things to do, so I can just come here alone today."

Zheng Danrui explained casually, but after listening to it, everyone else understood why Wang Jing and Wen Juan did not show up.

The relationship is because they all feel that the box office of "God of Gamblers" will not be much better, so they don't plan to go to New Oriental to wait for the box office.

And there were many people at the scene who knew the inside story of that incident.

If "God of Gamblers" doesn't get 60 million, Wang Jing and Wen Jun will be sent to a treasure island. Now it seems that they are ready to pack up.

"The box office champion during this year's Spring Festival is probably "The Legend of Wesley," right?"

While waiting for the box office, everyone will inevitably talk about the box office.

Although the first-day box office results have not yet been released, most people at the scene believed that "The Legend of Wesley" should win the box office championship during this year's Spring Festival.

"That's not necessarily true..."

At this time, Gao Zhisen suddenly retorted: "Several of my friends went to see "The Legend of Wesley", but... they all felt that the filming of this drama was not very good."

Because yesterday was the first day of the Lunar New Year, and the play "The Legend of Wesley" had nothing to do with the people present, everyone did not pay attention to the situation in the theater.

Before Gao Zhisen could continue speaking, the door of the conference room was suddenly pushed open.

I saw Lin Daoqiu and Fang Jinsheng walking in from outside.

"Mr. Lin (Brother Qiu), Happy New Year, and may you make a fortune..."

As soon as they saw Lin Daoqiu coming in from the outside, everyone immediately stood up from their chairs to say hello to him.

"Congratulations on getting rich. Let's all rejoice together. Let's sit down and talk."

When Lin Daoqiu was speaking, he glanced in the direction of Zheng Danrui and found that except for Zheng Danrui, Wang Jing and Wen Juan were not present.

"Ah Jing and Ari have something to deal with, so they asked me to come over today."

Zheng Danrui quickly explained to Lin Daoqiu.

Lin Daoqiu just smiled and nodded but said nothing.

When eating yesterday, he felt that Wang Jing and Wen Juan were not in a very high mood. Unexpectedly, they were so disappointed that they didn't even come to the box office on the first day. These two guys were really...

While Lin Daoqiu was still thinking this, the door of the conference room was suddenly pushed open again.

"Mr. Lin (Brother Qiu)..."

Wang Jing and Wen Juan walked in from the outside at the same time. It seemed that they were still very concerned about the box office on the first day, otherwise they would not have been unable to say anything and came again in the end.
