Chapter 294 New Year's Eve Dinner(1/2)

After breakfast.

Shao Yang sat on the sofa and clicked on the video that the company had processed. In the video, which was more than two minutes long, there were twenty or thirty celebrities appearing one after another, all of whom wished Shao Yang's "Charlotte Troubles" a box office success.

Xue Jiajia sat next to him and asked: "You have kept this video until now, and you just waited to post it today?"

"Yeah." Shaoyang uploaded the video to Weibo first, and then uploaded it to Douyin.

Immediately afterwards, Shao Yang called Yang Lan.

"Sister Lan, today you will report to me the pre-sale results of the movie every two hours, and ask Zhang Xinyi and Hu Qi to repost the Weibo I just posted. Others will not need to."

"Okay, I'll make arrangements."

After hanging up the phone, Shao Yang quietly waited for news from Yang Lan.

Seeing that Shao Yang had work, Shao Wensong and Chen Lanying took Xiao Yue'er to the streets early in the morning to buy new year's goods.

Ten o'clock in the morning.

Yang Lan sent the pre-sale results.

In two hours from 8 a.m. to 10 a.m., the pre-sale amount has reached 2.4 million.

During the same period during the Spring Festival period, it ranked second, but the gap with third and fourth did not widen.

Yang Lan also sent over the schedule of seven movies for the Spring Festival.

"Childhood Sweethearts" has 30% of the film schedule.

"Charlotte Trouble" ranked 21%.

"Happy New Year" and "Night Walk in Jinyi" are both 15% of the film schedule.

The remaining two animated films and one foreign film only account for 19% of the film schedule.

Judging from the number of films scheduled, "Childhood Sweethearts" leads the pack.

This actually cannot be blamed on the publisher, the main reason is that the producer of "Childhood Sweethearts" gave too much.

Generally, the producer (investor) and distributor (middleman) will charge 4%-6% of the movie box office as a signing fee when signing a contract. "Childhood Sweethearts" directly gave 6%, while "Charlotte" signed a contract with 4%.

For example, if "Charlotte" sells movie tickets worth 100 yuan, the distributor will get about 4 yuan, but if it is "Childhood Sweethearts", it will get 6 yuan.

In contrast, the publisher is definitely more willing to let "Childhood Sweethearts" sell more.

Shao Yang knows this, so he doesn't pay too much attention to the box office in the first few days. After all, the movie will be released for a month. As long as the quality of the movie is good, the box office will continue to rise in the future.

By four o'clock in the afternoon, the pre-sale box office had finally exceeded 10 million.

It is already firmly in second place.

But compared with "Childhood Sweethearts", which has already exceeded 20 million in pre-sales, it is still far behind.

On the afternoon of New Year's Eve.

The family has given Shaoyang the task of posting couplets. It's okay here in the community, as long as the couplets are posted at the door, but it's different over there in the hometown. The courtyard door must be posted on the opposite side, the living room door must also be posted, and the kitchen door must be posted as well.

Posted it, I really couldn’t figure it out within an hour or two. www.bǐqυgetν.℃ǒm

After setting up their new home, Shaoyang rode an electric car and drove Xue Jiajia and Xiao Yuer to their hometown.

After moving the herringbone ladder out of the grocery room, Shaoyang was responsible for pasting it up, Xiao Yue'er was responsible for holding it up, and Xue Jiajia was responsible for checking whether the couplets were pasted crookedly. The three people had a clear division of labor.

The characters on the couplets are actually the same every year.

Posting couplets in every household is just for celebration and does not care what the words on the couplets mean.

This year the couplet at the courtyard gate is very simple.

First couplet: Wealth will come your way every day

Second line: Good fortune comes with spring every year

Hengbiao: Good luck in the New Year

Shaoyang stood on the herringbone ladder, holding up a couplet and asked: "How's it going? Is it okay?"

Xue Jiajia stood in the distance, shook her head and said: "The sun is crooked."

"ah?"

"I said the Japanese character has been crooked since then."

"Xiao Yue'er, please pull a little to the right."

"oh."

"What now?"

"That's almost it."

After the three of them worked together for an hour to post the couplets, they hurried home.

"What are you going to do next?" Xue Jiajia asked with some anticipation as the experience these days has been unprecedented.

"Next, I'm going to worship my ancestors."

"Should I go?"

"It's up to you."



The day passed quickly.

At around seven o'clock in the evening, the family had already had a reunion dinner.

Last year Shaoyang didn't celebrate the New Year at home, and it was a bit deserted during the New Year. This year not only did Shaoyang come back, but he also brought Xue Jiajia back, making the house lively.

Chen Lanying knew that Xue Jiajia was an only child. If she was not at home to celebrate the New Year this year, her parents would be the only ones at home, so Chen Lanying asked Xue Jiajia to make a video call to her family not long after dinner.

Having been together for so many days, the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law has become very good. They sat together during the New Year's Eve dinner. When Xue Jiajia called Liu Hongyu, Chen Lanying also appeared on the scene, and the two of them had a good conversation.

A mother-in-law, it was obviously her first video chat, but she seemed to be very familiar with her.

Liu Hongyu kept saying that there was something wrong with her daughter and she asked her mother-in-law to forgive her.

Chen Lanying, on the other hand, kept stepping over Xue Jiajia, saying that she was good at everything and that she was very satisfied.

The two of them were talking to each other, and Shao Yang and Xue Jiajia felt a little embarrassed.

"The Spring Festival Gala has started. Xiao Yue'er, go and turn on the TV."

"good."

"Jiajia, you are fine everywhere, but you are a little thin. Come and eat more."

"Um."

When he was almost finished eating, Shao Yang suddenly said: "Dad, please find my household registration book and give it to me later."

"Why do you need your household registration book?"

Shao Yang glanced at Xue Jiajia and said with a smile: "Jiajia and I will find a day to collect the certificate first after celebrating the New Year."

Shao Wensong was stunned when he heard this.

Chen Lanying, who was standing next to her, slapped Shao Wensong on the shoulder and cursed: "Why are you in such a daze? Go find him quickly."

Shao Wensong hurriedly went to check his household registration book.

Under the table, Xue Jiajia reached out and grabbed a piece of meat on the inner side of Shaoyang's thigh and twisted it hard.

Shaoyang screamed in pain, but there was no expression on his face.

Chen Lanying took Xue Jiajia's hand and said with a smile: "You might as well get the certificate first, so as to save others from gossiping..."

Chen Lanying talked a lot, and she was so happy that she also drank a little wine tonight. As she talked, she talked about the grandchildren. Shaoyang saw that the situation was not right, so he quickly interrupted.

After the New Year's Eve dinner, the whole family sat on the sofa and watched the Spring Festival Gala while chatting about home affairs.

Wait until it's almost twelve o'clock.

Liu Ronghua comes on stage.

Wearing a very festive red Tang suit, he received warm applause as soon as he walked on the stage.

The song information of the song he wants to sing appears in the lower left corner.

Song title: Gong Xi Fa Cai

Lyricist: Shaoyang

Composer: Shaoyang

Vocals: Liu Ronghua

"Brother, is this a song you wrote?" Xiao Yue'er asked immediately after seeing her brother's name.

Shaoyang hummed.

"I congratulate you on getting rich

I like you wonderful
