.........

At the dinner.

Feng Pengtong approached Fang Ziheng and asked about the situation of "I'm Not the God of Medicine".

"Director Fang, when will the filming of "I'm Not the God of Medicine" start? I will come to learn from it then."

"Director Feng is laughing at me. The movie will start shooting in a few days. You are welcome to direct it."

Fang Ziheng smiled slightly, clinking glasses with Feng Pants, secretly thinking about what happened to Lao Feng today.

You are so humble and polite, but you still want to learn from your experience?

He didn't know that Feng Pants had his own plans.

"Private Order" is only waiting to be released. After completing this film, Feng Pengtai has made up for the loss of last year's "1942" and has an explanation for the big and small Wang brothers.

Next, of course, is to start a new project.

Feng Trousers also has ideas about realistic themes and has long wanted to make a realistic movie.

If it were before, he would never be so humble and engage in learning from experience.

But "1942" gave him a big blow, and he spent more than a year reflecting on the reasons for his failure.

In the final analysis, it is still the script that failed to control the rhythm of "1942".

Now that the prosperous era has arrived, movies only show the miserable and cruel side, without giving the audience the slightest hope. Of course, the audience will not buy it.

In addition, the big and small kings are very worried about his new subjects, and supporting Teng Huatao this time is a big reason.

Feng Tongtong was worried that he would be rejected by the big and small kings when he applied for a new project, so he approached Fang Ziheng to learn from his experience.

If he could get Fang Ziheng's guidance on the script, there would be no reason for the king to reject him.

Of course.

After all, Feng Tongtong is Hua Yi's pillar and has a high status. He is only concerned about Teng Huatao's rise and is not too worried.

after all.

He and Hua Yi are now signing a director contract, using a shell company to exchange Hua Yi for 300 million soft sister coins and signing five movies.

Three hundred million, real cash!

This kind of treatment is one of the few in the entire Chinese film industry, and few directors can match it.

Teng Huatao is still far away!

The two chatted for a few more words, smiled at each other, and walked towards the center of the banquet hall with their wine glasses in hand.

On a dining table in the center.

Wang Zhongjun and Wang Zhonglei gave Teng Huatao enough face and toasted first: "Hua Tao, congratulations. Judging from the premiere, "Waiting for the Wind" will definitely be a hit. You have become a hit this time and will soon become a great director.

Line up!"

"The box office is at least 500 million. We will work harder on publicity and distribution, and strive to achieve 700 million and 800 million, and fight a good battle in the Lunar New Year!

Wang Zhonglei spoke immediately, hugging Teng Huatao with an iron brotherhood, and said boldly: "Hua Tao, you just lead the team to promote it, and leave the rest to me. When you come back, my eldest brother and I will celebrate your victory in person.

I opened the bottle of 1787 Lafite at home, which is a good wine that I have treasured for many years!”

"Okay, 1787 Lafite, I have to try it, thank you Zhonglei!

Teng Huatao's face lit up with joy, and he bowed his hand to Wang Zhonglei, as if he had seen the scene of a box office hit and everyone tasting the 1787 Lafite at the celebration banquet.

He has never even seen the red wine worth more than one million yuan, let alone drank it.

He is still a brother and loyal enough!

At this time, Fang Ziheng and Feng Pengtong happened to walk over and heard their laughter.

Fang Ziheng's mouth twitched and he quickly glanced at Feng's pants.

If he remembered correctly, Wang Zhonglei said the same thing to Feng Pants at the premiere dinner of "1942" last year.

When the celebration banquet comes, he will take out a bottle of 1787 Lafite that he has treasured for many years to celebrate Feng Pants.

Damn chicken~!

Isn’t that bottle of wine finished yet?

Fang Ziheng thought of this and secretly looked at Feng's pants.

If Feng Pengtong could guess what he was thinking, he would definitely sneer and roll his eyes.

Drink your ass!

He, Feng Pants, has never even seen the bottle of 1787 Lafite. "1942" hit the street, and Wang Zhonglei wouldn't take out the wine even if he was stupid.

Feng Tongtong remembered clearly that although there was a celebration party at that time, it was not organized in a big way. Wang Zhonglei opened a bottle of 1977 Henry Jia Yin Li Qi Chateau in front of him.

The price is 16,000 US dollars, more than 100,000 soft girl coins per bottle, which is less than one-tenth of the price of 1787 Lafite.

Feng Pengtong tasted half of the glass at that time, and the rest was used by Wang Zhonglei to entertain other guests. A bottle of wine was not enough.

The taste was not that good either. It was not as delicious as the bottle of 1996 Romanee-Conti that I opened at the celebration party for the "Tangshan Earthquake" in the previous year.

Talking now.

He is quite old, so it would be better for him to drink less.

Feng Pengtong looked calm and calm on the surface, but he was sour in his heart. Especially when he saw the high-spirited Teng Huatao, he felt depressed and had nowhere to vent his frustration.

Oh shit!

Let’s see how awesome you can be in “Waiting for the Wind to Come”.

If it accidentally ends up on the street, that million-dollar bottle of red wine will not belong to you, Teng Huatao, but to me, Feng Pants!

.........

After the dinner, the zero o'clock stop followed.

Many movies released in the early morning of November 26, including "Waiting for the Wind", will be on the cinema together.

Fang Ziheng didn't pay attention to the zero-point episode of "Waiting for the Wind" and went home early to fall asleep.

The next morning.

Huayi has stepped up the promotion of "Waiting for the Wind", touting the film in various ways to protect the film's early release.

According to Huayi's internal statistics, although the finished film "Waiting for the Wind" is not as funny as "Love Is Not Blind", it is more profound.

Moreover, the movie uses Ni Nai, a new-generation girl, as the leading female lead, and Jing Bolan, who is highly praised by Hua Yi.

The combination of handsome men and beautiful women, the trailer alone attracted many curious viewers to stop.

Although Teng Huatao's reputation is not as good as in his previous life, he has a father who retires at home and has very good connections.

In just one morning, many well-known filmmakers in the industry appeared one after another to support "Waiting for the Wind".

Thanks to the huge publicity efforts, the popularity of the movie has skyrocketed, attracting countless young men and women from all over the country to spend money to buy tickets.

But it's no use.

As the movie was released throughout the day, negative reviews quickly appeared on the Internet. Audiences who had watched the movie came forward to express their opinions, accusing the movie of being too literary and frivolous, and completely inconsistent with the search for happiness in the novel "Travel Notes, or a Guide".

"The plot is too thin and boring!"

"Forcing private goods to impress yourself!"

"In addition to being in an inexplicable daze and crying, the heroine can do anything else, and she also performs a scanning operation like epiphany. I'm sure the director is not an idiot!"

"Damn it, after watching this movie, the whole thing is pretentious and contrived. I really shouldn't trust Teng Huatao or the sixth-generation director!"

"Refund the ticket, Teng Huatao, you idiot. If you don't have the ability, don't blindly participate in co-productions. Go back and make your TV series as soon as possible."

Negative reviews and abuse are flooding all major film forums.

Hengyu Maoyan APP, the original pre-sale of the movie was 28 million, but it dropped to 21 million in one day.

By the evening, more negative reviews appeared. The Huayi Propaganda Department and Public Relations Department spent all their money to cover up the audience's dissatisfaction with the movie.

The big and small kings were dumbfounded, and so was Teng Huatao, who imagined tasting millions of red wines.

In a hotel in the imperial capital.

Teng Huatao sat in front of the computer, his brows furrowed and his face full of disbelief.

Why?

There was obviously thunderous applause at the premiere, and the guests and the audience all said yes after watching it.

Why are there so many negative reviews on the first day?

Someone must be deliberately causing harm and smearing the movie.

It doesn't matter, once the box office comes out on the first day, these smears will be self-defeating.

Teng Huatao thinks too much.

24 hours passed, and in the early hours of the morning, the first-day box office of "Waiting for the Wind" was released.

21.6 million!

"There are so few!"

Teng Huatao looked at the data on his phone blankly, with a look of constipation on his face, which was worse than eating a dead mouse.

Not only him, the director, but Wang Zhongjun and Wang Zhonglei were also completely confused.

21.6 million on the first day, completely incomparable to expectations.

In their expectations, the box office on the first day will exceed at least 40 million, and they will become more and more courageous, kicking off this year's Lunar New Year war.
