Chapter 306 The young son-in-law meets his mother-in-law for the first time. What’s wrong with this plot?

Speaking of which, with the revelations of the "second most unscrupulous paparazzi in the world" about the grudges and love-hate relationship between the "two Zhangs".

The box office of "The Great Strange Case" is really unbearable.

The quality and reputation of the movie were incredibly bad, which discouraged a large number of viewers who were previously on the sidelines.

Now, everyone knows the circumstances under which this movie was made.

Then I don’t want to watch it even more.

Why should we contribute to the box office and let a disgusting villain like Zhang Baimao benefit from it?
Wouldn’t it be nice to save a few dozen dollars, buy some clothes, and have a good meal?
In addition, it is true that Xiao Shenyang became an overnight sensation.

But he really has no box office appeal.

At least there is absolutely no such thing now.

Except for a very small number of fanatical fans, basically no one would buy movie tickets just for Xiao Shenyang's name.

Nowadays, there is still a clear barrier between sketch/crosstalk actors and movies.

There are too many sketch/crosstalk performers who have tried hard to transition to the big screen, but ended up with bad results.

The audience's view is simple.

I could watch you on TV for free before, but now you want me to pay to go to the cinema to see you?

This is not a theater or a commercial performance.

Why?

Of course, a certain sketch/crosstalk actor can make more than 5 billion yuan for one movie or more than 3 billion yuan for another movie. That is something for the future and is an exception.
-
"Three Shots Surprise" failed, who is the happiest?
It must be "Storm and Cloud 2".

Adapted from a famous comic book.

The TV series version received huge ratings.

The previous film, "Feng Yun", had considerable box office success.

The original cast performed passionately...

With all these factors added together, how could the movie fail?
In the eyes of the directors Pang brothers and several investors, once the biggest "stumbling block" Lao Mouzi is gone, "Storm and Cloud 2" will be just like what is said in the lines -

Are the golden scales just a thing in the pond? They turn into dragons when the storm strikes!

Sometimes, I really don’t know what these people are thinking.

The Hong Kong entertainment industry is in such a half-dead state, yet they still have such a sense of superiority and such inexplicable self-confidence.

I guess they learned this from their previous masters - even if the sun has already set, they still insist that they are the "sun never sets"...

The idea is beautiful, but the reality is cruel.

The audience gave "Storm 2" a big blow.

Don’t worry about whether you are Aaron Kwok or Leslie Cheung.

Don’t worry about which big stars will join the show.

No matter how fancy it is, it's useless.

If you say you don’t want to watch it, then don’t watch it.

At most, those who have a computer at home can wait a few days and then go to a video website to watch the pirated version.

If you don’t have a computer, you can just wait a few days and buy a disc to watch at home, which only costs one or two dollars at most.

If you want us to pay real money, that’s impossible!
A few years ago, Hong Kong film discs were not priced at this price.

At that time, the prices from high to low were Hollywood > Japanese and Korean films ≥ Hong Kong films > mainland films.

Now, Hong Kong films have unfortunately fallen to the bottom.

Market demand determines the price.

Apart from the die-hard fans of Hong Kong movies, who else watches Hong Kong movies?

It's embarrassing to say it!
-
"Three Shots Surprise" was the first to fail, and "Storm Warriors 2" followed closely behind.

The domestic film market in December was very quiet.

There were hardly any people in the cinema.

This is not a good thing for other theaters.

This is the best thing for Galaxy Cinemas, China Film Group Corporation, China Film New South, Wanda, and the newly established Bona Cinemas and Media Communications Cinemas.

It is a good opportunity to take turns closing some cinemas for renovations - to install new 3D and IMAX projection equipment.

Under the influence of the document, those competitors were either forced to reorganize or had their screening qualifications revoked.

Their directly-operated and franchised cinemas will either be sold at a low price or found other owners.

The six companies, led by Galaxy Cinemas, all suffered a severe blow.

Especially Bona and MediaTek, which became one of the six major cinema chains in China just after their establishment.

Even if they ranked fifth and sixth respectively, it would be a miracle.

The first place is Galaxy Cinemas.

As of the end of June 2009.

Galaxy Cinema Line has more than 210 cinemas and nearly 700 screens.

Whether it is the number of cinemas or the number of screens, it ranks first in the country.

If Lin Yicheng had not decided to join the franchise and only operate the business directly, this number would probably have doubled.

First, we improved the equipment, then we bought a cinema.

Lin Yicheng spent money like water and smashed dozens of small targets in one breath.

Of course he doesn't have that much cash.

All the loans were taken from banks with “good intentions”.

It wasn't he who took the initiative to apply for the loan, but the bank came to him and begged him to lend the money.

No mortgage is even required!
Tencent’s stock price is rising every day, and the net worth of shareholder Lin Yicheng is also changing every day.

Plus Galaxy Films, Galaxy Video, Sina Weibo, and a certain website...

The companies that Lin Yicheng wholly owns or holds shares in are at least first-tier companies in the industry, and most of them are industry leaders.

For the bank, Lin Yicheng is undoubtedly the best customer.

this is the truth.

Some people, no matter how hard they try and beg for help from everyone, even if they lose all their dignity, still find it difficult to get a loan from a bank.

Some people, begged and coaxed by the banks, can easily get a loan just by showing their faces.

2009年12月31日晚上12点，即2010年1月1日0点。

After being reviled first and then caught up in a public opinion storm, Zhang Yimou finally stopped being silent.

He registered on Sina Weibo and posted three blog posts in a row.

The first one is about having more children than allowed.

Lao Mouzi admitted it very readily and apologized.

It also stated that the relevant fines have been paid.

"...I have never been to a parent-teacher conference for my child...The space for fathers in the parent column is always empty...The children don't dare to tell their teachers and classmates, and no one would believe them even if they did..."

Secondly, Zhang Yimou said bluntly that starting today, he will leave New Picture and completely end his cooperative relationship with Zhang Baimao.

"... I made movies I didn't want to make, and did things I didn't want to do... The days before were undoubtedly a torment for me... I could tolerate other things, but movies were my bottom line... He added whatever plots he wanted, and he let whoever he wanted to act in the role... I had no autonomy, and I became a cash cow... Interference in creation, this is something I absolutely cannot tolerate!"

Third, Zhang Yimou announced that he will join Bona Film Group.

"…This is a difficult decision for me…but I won't regret it. I believe this is a new beginning…In the future, I can completely return to myself, create freely, and make the films I want to make…"

One stone, no, three stones can create a thousand waves!

Whether in or outside the circle, everyone was completely shocked by Zhang Yimou’s three Weibo posts!

The two Zhangs who were once so powerful and could make their way freely in the film industry broke up just like that?
Although, when New Picture was investigated for service issues, many people had expected this day to come.

But when this day really comes, it still catches people off guard.

These are the two Zhangs who “jointly opened up a new era for domestic films”!

These are the two times that forced theater chains to increase their profit sharing ratio!

The reaction outside the circle was okay.

It's nothing more than some viewers sighing and saying "this is all my lost youth" or something like that.

It’s hard to describe the situation in the circle.

Many people, of course, were unhappy with Zhang Baimao and wished he would die immediately.

But they also had to admit that Zhang Baimao had done some good things.

If the "Second Zhang" is gone, who will be able to pressure the theaters and increase the share of the box office for the third time?

It can't be that the current person in charge, Lin Yicheng, is the one to do this.

Many colleagues ruled out this possibility at the first opportunity.

Under the "Galaxy" umbrella, it has production in the left hand and theaters in the right hand.

The palms of the palms and the backs of the hands are all meat.

Lin Yicheng, he shouldn't do this, right?
In addition, Zhang Yimou actually joined Bona?

Many people were surprised by this.

Didn’t we agree on the familiar recipe and familiar taste?
How come the result is wrong in the end?

Lin Yicheng didn’t recruit Zhang Yimou?
So what is he doing in there? What is he trying to achieve?

Or was it that Lin Yicheng didn't do this at all?
Based on the principle that whoever benefits is suspected.

These people immediately fixed their eyes on Fatty Yu.

I didn't expect that you, Fatty Yu with thick eyebrows and small eyes, are not a good guy either. You also learned bad things from Lin Yicheng.

First it was Feng Kuzi, then Zhang Yimou.

There were three people in the first "three big ones", and Fatty Yu gathered two of them in one go.

What are you doing, Fatty Yu?
At this moment, many colleagues became alert.

In my mind, Fatty Yu’s dangerousness increased several levels.

To be honest, even though Bona was very popular in the past.

But people in the circle generally don't look down on Yu Pangzi.

He started his career by living off his wife.

Make a fortune by picking up leftovers from the Hong Kong circle.

Sell ​​Bona shares and start a family.

……

All these incidents give people the impression that Fatty Yu really has no ability. It's a great honor for him to become a big boss in the industry.

Today, this impression has been overturned.

Everyone has been wrong before.

It seems that Fatty Yu is playing the pig and eating the tiger.

But think about it, dragons don't live with snakes.

There must be a reason why Lin Yicheng could find Fatty Yu as an ally.

It’s just that no one has thought about this issue before.

These people are just second-guessing.

Don’t care who will play the role of Zhang Yimou in the end, and don’t care whether Fatty Yu is a pig or a tiger.

It has little to do with them.

You will just go on with your life as usual from now on.

Only two people were extremely unhappy.

One is Wang Changtian of Guangxian.

One is Mr. Jia, the boss of LeTV.

Coincidentally, these two people have both set their sights on Zhang Yimou.

Either you have planned ahead or you have already taken action.

In the end, he failed and was snatched away by Fatty Yu.

So, poor Fatty Yu was regarded as a thorn in the eyes and a thorn in the flesh by both of them.
-
Magic City, the headquarters of Galaxy Video.

Lin Yicheng, accompanied by a group of middle and senior executives of the company, stood in front of the computer, watching a programmer operating the computer carefully.

But maybe it’s because Lin Yicheng is the boss, or maybe it’s because his aura is too strong.

The programmer was a little nervous.

My hands holding the mouse are shaking.

After trying several times, I kept getting errors.

Lin Yicheng frowned as he looked at her.

The big boss was unhappy, and the middle and senior managers immediately became anxious. "It's embarrassing, get out of the way, I'll demonstrate to General Manager Lin."

At this time, a young man in his early twenties wearing glasses said to the programmer.

After hearing this, the programmer immediately stood up and gave the computer to the young man.

"Who is he?" Lin Yicheng asked.

"Su Cheng graduated from MIT and previously worked in Silicon Valley. He is currently our deputy director of technology." Yan Siming quickly explained.

"Oh, him." Lin Yicheng suddenly realized.

In just over a year, Galaxy Video was able to transform from a second-tier downstream company to a first-tier upstream company.

One of the reasons is certainly that Lin Yicheng has been aggressively acquiring film and television copyrights to fill his film library.

But this is only one side of the story.

The main focus of video websites is content + technology.

For example, the same network cable, the same computer, and the same 480P standard definition.

Users may occasionally experience lag when using other video software, but this will not happen when using Galaxy Video.

In terms of technology, Xinghe Video can proudly say that in China, it is currently second only to the cheating QVOD!
In order to improve his skills, Lin Yicheng asked General Zhao Feiyu to introduce talents from Peking University and Tsinghua University.

He also asked Yan Siming to poach a few people from American Internet companies.

Su Cheng is one of them, and he has the best skills.
-
"Boss Lin, look, this is... its function is... this is... it can..."

Su Cheng is worthy of being someone who has seen the world in Silicon Valley. Not only is he not stage-frightened, but he speaks fluently and his words are very clear.

However, the professional terms he used were like playing the lute to a cow to Lin Yicheng, a layman.

Lin Yicheng was a little embarrassed.

He couldn't understand.

Yan Siming noticed Lin Yicheng's embarrassment. He was thinking about how to say it so that the boss could understand and at the same time not lose face.

"What he meant was that he put on three layers of condoms, so there was absolutely no exposure, and there was no possibility of pregnancy."

Suddenly, such a voice was heard from the back of the crowd.

All the middle and senior management were shocked.

Who is so bold as to make dirty jokes to the boss?

Everyone looked back.

The person who spoke was General Zhao Feiyu.

It's him.

Then it's okay.

Everyone in the company knows that this person is a genuine “royal relative”.
In terms of technology, Grand Commander Zhao Feiyu is indeed very average and not very eye-catching in the talented Galaxy Video.

But no one will underestimate him.

It's not because of his identity.

But it’s because he has too many cool moves and ideas.

Sometimes, his wild ideas can amaze the programmers in Xinghe Video!
After all, this was cultivated by Lin Yicheng himself.

Now there is a trend of the younger generation surpassing the older generation.

"hehe."

Lin Yicheng smiled.

He patted Su Cheng on the shoulder and said, "Well done."

"Thank you for the compliment, Mr. Lin. This is what we should do."

Just now, he demonstrated to Lin Yicheng the latest anti-theft technology of Xinghe Video.

Once this technology is officially launched, it will no longer be possible for other video websites to grab pirated content from Galaxy Video.

This is the reason why Lin Yicheng came all the way here.

This is directly related to his subsequent important plan - the Internet copyright war!

"Every member of this project team will receive an extra six months' salary."

Lin Yicheng, who was in a good mood, directly offered a generous reward.

"Thank you Mr. Lin!"

"Long live General Lin!"

The technical staff, led by Su Cheng, immediately shouted excitedly.

"By the way, don't make things difficult for that employee just now. I can understand that he is introverted and not good at speaking." Lin Yicheng instructed Yan Siming again.

His words were just loud enough for everyone around him to hear.

"Don't worry, it won't happen." Yan Siming immediately assured.

When everyone heard this, they felt warm in their hearts.

I am so lucky to work for such a generous and forgiving boss!
The technical problems of Xinghe Video were successfully resolved, so Lin Yicheng did not stay any longer.

After speaking a few words to Grand Commander Zhao Feiyu, Lin Yicheng went directly to the airport and rushed to the capital.
-
Today is not just New Year's Day.

It was the important day when he would meet his mother-in-law for the first time, so he couldn't delay it.

Getting on the plane, getting off the plane, there was some traffic jam in Beijing again.

After rushing for a long time, Lin Yicheng finally arrived at Fan Xiaopang's villa in the evening.

When he arrived at the door and was about to take the key to open it, Lin Yicheng suddenly remembered something.

Then, the doorbell rang.

There was only one sound.

The door was opened immediately.

"I thought you weren't coming."

Fat Fan said with some resentment.

Lin Yicheng sent her a text message while he was still on the road.

Fat Fan couldn't wait to wait near the entrance and waited for almost an hour.

No matter what Ren Fan's mother said, he refused to leave.

It was as if he was afraid that Lin Yicheng would back down at the critical moment.

“The roads are too congested.”

Lin Yicheng smiled apologetically.

Since Fat Fan was able to open the door so quickly, Lin Yicheng knew that she must have been waiting near the door.

"come on in."

Fat Fan was like a little wife, diligently helping Lin Yicheng change his slippers.

As soon as Lin Yicheng walked into the living room, he saw a middle-aged woman sitting on the sofa.

Although she was sitting, her butt was only half-touched on the sofa, and she was looking towards the entrance nervously.

This middle-aged woman, with her eyes and eyebrows, looks somewhat similar to Fan Xiaopang. She is Fan's mother.
-
"Hello, Auntie. I'm Lin Yicheng."

Lin Yicheng was very polite and bowed slightly.

"No, you're welcome."

After hearing what Lin Yicheng said, Fan's mother immediately jumped up from the sofa and waved her hands quickly.

"You... uh..."

Mother Fan wanted to address Lin Yicheng, but for a moment, she didn't know how to address him.

Although she had learned from her daughter today that the person coming was indeed Lin Yicheng, she had also made certain mental preparations.

But after meeting Lin Yicheng in person, Fan's mother was still a little panicked and nervous.

This is the famous Lin Yicheng!

This is a nationally famous billionaire!
This is actually her son-in-law?

How much blessings did her daughter accumulate in her previous life?

At this moment, Fan's mother felt something was unreal, as if she was dreaming.

"Auntie, you can call me Xiaolin or Yicheng."

Lin Yicheng spoke with understanding.

She heard Lin Yicheng call her "Auntie" again.

Fan's mother felt as comfortable as if she had eaten a ginseng fruit.

"Xiaolin, no, Issei."

Mrs. Fan’s eyes and eyebrows were blurred due to her laughter.

"Are you thirsty? I'll get you some water. Are you hungry? I'll get you some fruit."

Mother Fan first took a few steps toward the coffee table, then stopped, turned around and walked toward the kitchen. After taking two steps, perhaps she felt something was wrong and walked toward the coffee table again.

For a moment, it seemed like I didn't know what to do.

Lin Yicheng was also a little confused by Fan's mother.

On the way here, he made a lot of mental preparations and played out various possibilities in his mind.

What? The other party first gave him a warning, and then asked indirectly how much assets he had...

Then he asked in a roundabout way when they would get married and when they would have children...

Finally, I have to warn him not to bully or disappoint Fatty Fan...

Aren’t all mothers-in-law like this on TV and in real life?

Why did it change when it came to Fan Ma?

Then wouldn't all his previous preparations and mental preparations have been in vain?

Look at how flustered she is. How can this be a son-in-law meeting his mother-in-law?

It's more like a daughter-in-law meeting her father-in-law.
-
Lin Yicheng looked at Fan Xiaopang with some confusion, wanting her to help him out quickly.

But all I saw was Fat Fan covering his face with his hands in embarrassment.

By the way, Fan's mother can be said to have seen the world - when she was a dancer, she often performed outside and met some important people.

Unexpectedly, Fan Ma, who could remain calm and composed when facing those important figures, became at a loss after meeting Lin Yicheng.

Fan Xiaopang only regretted that there was no crack in the ground so she could not get in.

Judging from the attitude of Fat Fan, you can forget about counting on him.

Lin Yicheng was a little confused and didn't know how to start.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the living room became extremely awkward.

All three of them didn't know what to say.

at this time.

Thump thump thump.

There were strong and rapid footsteps on the wooden planks of the stairs.

Lin Yicheng looked up.

I saw a little fat man jumping down the stairs with a flexibility that was totally inconsistent with his body size.

Then, he jumped in front of him at lightning speed.

"Brother-in-law! I missed you so much! I finally see you!"

The little fat man grabbed Lin Yicheng's arm and shouted.

There was happiness, excitement, and seemingly a lot of sadness in his tone.

There were even faint tears in those small eyes.

Look at the little fat boy's posture.

Lin Yicheng's mind suddenly emerged with Liu Qibian's poem - "Holding hands and looking into each other's tearful eyes, we were speechless and choked with emotion."

Thinking of this, Lin Yicheng immediately felt a chill.

He tried to free his arms.

Unexpectedly, the little fat boy was very strong and held him tightly, preventing him from moving.

Lin Yicheng was speechless.

First it was Fan’s mother, then Fan Xiaopang, and then the little fat boy.

Why does this family seem so abnormal?

　I have some cards today, so these are all for now.

　　I'll take a good look at it these next two days and I'll update more later.
