A great director who grew up happily

Chapter 274: Cinema Film Scheduling

Qiao Weidong, who was chatting loudly at the table, had no idea that his daughter Chen Jinnian had slipped away. He was still holding up his glass and greeting the people around him.

"Yingzi, let me introduce them to you. These are..." He introduced them with a smile on his face, wanting to show off Qiao Yingzi's achievements, but he was stunned when he turned around.

My daughter is missing!

He hurriedly glanced around the hall, but still did not see Qiao Yingzi.

At the same time, there was a lively chat in the box. Fang Yuan's family of four, Chen Ming's family of three, Song Qian, Wang Yidi, Huang Zhitao, and Liu Jing and her son were all there.

This is the closest we have come together since the college entrance examination.

"Liu Jing, Yangyang did well in the exam. He was more than ten points above the first-tier line. Why didn't your family hold a graduation banquet?" Fang Yuan asked happily.

Liu Jing was serving food to Huang Zhitao beside her. Upon hearing her words, a gentle smile appeared on her lips. "Old Ji's identity is too sensitive, and he was recently transferred to Zhonghai City, so we didn't hold Yang Yang's graduation banquet. We just had a simple meal with his family."

Then she turned her gaze to Lin Lei'er, "Your Lei'er's grades are so good, when are we going to celebrate?"

Lin Lei'er, who was named, sat back awkwardly. He didn't want to hold a graduation party. On the one hand, he didn't like social interactions. On the other hand, his father would probably not come to attend his graduation party.

"Yes, Lei'er is the district champion, your family has to do it." Song Qian turned her head to look at Tong Wenjie and echoed.

"It depends on Lei'er's opinion. We don't have this idea yet."

Tong Wenjie answered for Lin Lei'er and quickly changed the subject, "And I think it's Jinnian who should be hosting the entrance banquet. Not only that, but he should be making a big deal about it. He's the one that's being reported all over the news now. They say the strongest arts student in history has been admitted to Communication University of China, and even CCTV has reported on it."

In terms of resources in the film and television industry, Communication University of China may be far behind Beijing Film Academy and the Central Academy of Drama, but in terms of mass communication, it is slightly better, especially the relationship between Communication University of China and CCTV. Not only do a large number of CCTV hosts come from Communication University of China (formerly the China Academy of Broadcasting and Television), but there are also various strategic collaborations.

Chen Jinnian frequently appeared in the news in July. Not only because of his excellent academic performance, but more importantly, he had Communication University of China behind him to help him.

"What are you doing? I haven't seen Jinnian for more than a month." Su Ying slammed her chopsticks on the plate in frustration.

Perhaps the movement was too big and scared Xuanyue in his arms, and she began to cry out of grievance.

"Hey, you're all here. I thought I heard you calling my name just now."

As the words were spoken, Chen Jinnian walked in carrying a luggage bag, followed by the cheerful Qiao Yingzi.

The arrival of the two instantly made the atmosphere in the box lively. Xuan Yue, who was about to cry, was interrupted before casting a spell. She raised her head and looked forward. Her pair of crystal clear eyes stared at Chen Jinnian motionlessly.

"Why are you back? Did you ask for leave from the crew?" Wang Yidi was the most excited and quickly stood up and asked. Although the two of them video chatted every day, they had no idea that he was back today.

"It's finished, I have a surprise for you."

"That's great." Wang Yidi was overjoyed and excitedly went forward to hug his waist, but then he remembered that there were many parents present and pulled his hand back like lightning.

When everyone saw this, they smiled knowingly, pretended not to see it, and continued chatting.

Ji Yangyang and Fang Yifan helped to bring two chairs. Fang Yuan called the waiter in the private room and quickly brought two new sets of tableware. After a busy period, both of them were seated smoothly.

Qiao Yingzi sat next to Song Qian and began to complain in a low voice about the strange uncles and aunts outside, while Chen Jinnian took his sister from Su Ying.

"What are you looking at? You don't recognize your brother after not seeing him for a month."

Xuanyue was like a puppet, motionless. After a long while, she turned her head and raised her arms towards Wang Yidi, mumbling something. I couldn't understand what she was saying, but it was obvious that she didn't want him to hug her.

"Okay, stop scaring your sister." Wang Yidi took Xuanyue from his hands. Recently, Su Ying would come to Shuxiang Yayuan with her child every morning.

Compared to the deserted house in the west, this place is undoubtedly much more lively. Wang Yidi, Huang Zhitao and Qiao Yingzi are all there, as well as Fang Yifan and other classmates who often come to visit, all taking turns to play with Xuanyue.

Seeing that Xuanyue was a little afraid of him, Chen Jinnian stopped teasing his sister and hurried to eat.

Children are very sensitive. He thought that it was because he had just finished filming the explosion and gunfight scenes and the momentum in his body had not yet dissipated. It should be fine after a couple of days.

"When will your movie be released?" asked Ji Yangyang next to him.

"It's coming soon. The publicity and promotion team is already preparing for it. It's expected to be released in mid-August."

After hearing Chen Jinnian's words, everyone stopped what they were doing. The only person present who knew about it was Chen Ming, but he didn't have time to show off to others.

"Jinnian, where are you going to watch this movie? Yingzi and I are here to support you." Song Qian asked.

"Yes, Lao Ji and I have already gone to take a look." Liu Jing also said quickly

"All cinema chains will be showing the film, but some will schedule more screenings and some will schedule fewer. Now Wanda, which has the largest share of screenings, will be given the film, while others will have less."

Chen Jinnian is a completely new director in the cinema market. His film's screening share on the premiere day will not exceed 6%. This is the result of an agreement signed with Wanda and an exchange of interests. Wanda's cinemas guarantee that his film's screening share in the first three days will not be less than 15%, 12%, and 10% respectively.

It is conceivable how much screening share other theaters will give him.

However, he still has great confidence in the subsequent screening schedule. After all, cinemas will show whatever films make money.

This year's summer season had many small hits, but no big hits. "Big Fish and Begonia" became popular but did not explode at the box office. The performance of Hong Kong films was average, all around 500 to 600 million.

Big brother's new film did not meet expectations, and The Legend of the Gods became a joke. The only thing that can go up is the popular movie "Grave Notes" which will be released at the beginning of next month. However, the box office sustainability of popular movies is very poor, and the daily box office can be wiped out in three or four days.

Fang Yuan stood up and said, "Hey, I suggest that we clink our glasses to celebrate for the children. I wish you all great academic and career success in the future." Then he glanced at the crowd and added, "Of course, love is even better."

Faced with Fang Yuan's teasing, except for Chen Jinnian, Wang Yidi and the others all lowered their heads in embarrassment.

Chen Jinnian, who was the most shameless, stood up with a smile and said, "Okay, I also wish Uncle Fang to have a big fat boy during the New Year."

"Hahahaha." Everyone burst into laughter when they heard this. They all knew that Fang Yuan wanted a daughter, but Chen Jinnian wished him a son.

Just as everyone was drinking happily, Qiao Weidong walked in from outside and saw Qiao Yingzi at first sight.

"Yingzi, so you're here. You scared Daddy to death."
