It rained heavily.

It came suddenly around 2:30 in the morning.

This is already the third heavy rain in the past few days. The intensity of the rain is much greater than the previous two. Big drops of rain splashed on the glass. At first, it was just water splash on the glass, but within a few seconds, the water splash formed.

It turned directly into water and rushed downward quickly.

Except for the rain.

Hitting the glass also made a "crackling" sound, and with the temperature difference between indoor and outdoor, a thin layer of water mist gradually appeared on the glass.

In the bathroom.

The shower head was turned on, and hot water poured on Ye Xuan's fair skin. His delicate face was steamed by the hot water like a ripe peach, and his whole face turned red.

The water slowly flowed down her neck. Ye Xuan held Chen Jiahui's arm with one hand and covered his lips with the other hand. However, as the water surged, she could no longer suppress it, and her voice was still loud.

What was avoided was sent out.

The rain outside the window was still hitting the glass, mixing with the sounds inside the window, forming a symphony unique to two or three o'clock in the morning. Putting down one of Ye Xuan's legs, Mr. Chen patted her waist.

Ye Xuan's eyelashes wet with hot water trembled slightly, and even her eyes were more emotional than usual. She did not speak, but turned her head and body naturally, and placed her hands on the wall.

The rain continues.

Heavy rains like this generally cannot last for too long.

But this summer in Hong Kong City, the rain is much heavier than in previous years.

A bolt of lightning pierced the sky above the port city bathed in heavy rain, and the night seemed to be lit up, followed by the sound of thunder. Such a night is not so pleasant after all.

But there are always people who find fun in nights like this.

The rain that fell in the early morning lasted for a long time, until Ye Xuan fell asleep from exhaustion, and the rain continued.

A heavy rain like this, even though the rainfall was relatively heavy and lasted for a relatively long time, soon after the sky turned white the next day, light broke through the clouds and fell over the city.

Early seven in the morning.

Director Zhou got up from the bed and after washing up on the second floor, she didn't even change her clothes. She went downstairs in her pajamas and a pair of slippers.

Seeing Chen Jiahui having breakfast, Director Zhou was stunned for a moment, then asked with a smile, "When did you come back!?"

“Just came back not long ago”

Chen Jiahui simply replied.

His expression is very calm, and there is no ups and downs in his heart. He has transformed from a newbie to an expert in cheating. Between the transformation of quality and quantity, his heart has become extremely strong.

"Did it rain last night?"

Seeing that there seemed to be water on the ground in the yard outside the living room, Director Zhou wondered.

"Well, it's not a small price."

Chen Jiahui replied casually.

Chen Jiahui could accurately know what time and ten minutes it started raining in the early morning. As for the number of seconds, it was not within Chen Jiahui's precise range. After all, he was busy working with Ye Xuan at the time, so how could he be so accurate?

.

Knowing what time it was and what time it was was because Chen Jiahui took off his watch at that time and took another look at it before pulling Ye Xuan into the bathroom. After a few days of depression, once he completely relaxed, his mood improved a lot.

I have to admit that after not seeing him for a week, Ye Xuan is getting more and more admired.

"My dad called me yesterday and asked me when you would come back. The competition for summer vacation this year is extremely fierce. Not only is my dad anxious, but Director Du is also anxious."

Director Zhou took the breakfast served by Aunt Chen, and while eating, he said to Chen Jiahui, "Six great directors, almost thirty films released, this... Fortunately, I don't have any new films released, otherwise, just looking at this lineup, I guess my legs

It makes me tremble. I really don’t know what these directors are thinking. If they don’t release in such a good time in April and May, they will give you a free advantage. Now that they are all released in the summer season, I don’t know who is the real winner in this year’s summer season!

?If you can become the box office champion in this summer vacation, you will really be the king of directors."

Seeing that after all he had said, Chen Jiahui still didn't seem to understand what he meant. Director Zhou glanced at him and said, "So I advise you to stop watching your animation movie and change it to a different schedule! Animation movies are not suitable for this.

If it is released during the summer vacation, they will be reduced to cannon fodder.”

Chen Jiahui raised his head and glanced at his wife.

Then he lowered his head and continued eating.

There are only two best times for animation movies to be released, one is the summer time and the other is the Spring Festival time. The main reason is that the audience for animation movies are children. If it is changed to other times, no matter how high the quality is, it will not be easy to make a box office.

After all, children don't have much free time now. They simply have to attend various interest classes on Sundays and have classes from Monday to Friday. So let alone the fierce competition for this summer vacation, even if there is smoke everywhere, Chen Jiahui will still get it.

Moreover, the order he placed for the toy foundry was already being rushed. The release was scheduled for August 1st. Chen Jiahui already felt that it was a bit delayed. If he pushed it further, he would have a project on his hands. In addition, the toys were backlogged in the warehouse and could not be cashed out.

Chen Jiahui himself couldn't stand it.

Had breakfast.

Chen Jiahui did not go to work immediately.

Instead, I first looked at the budgeted box office.

Probably everyone has the idea of ​​​​competing this year, so the pre-sale time is relatively uniform. Whether it is Chen Jiahui's father-in-law Zhou Yu, Director Du, the two Directors Chen, Director Feng... or several other directors, they are all in

The budget opened on June 25th.

As of today.

The pre-sales of "Infernal Affairs" 2 are 120 million.

"Racing" is 105 million.

"Tangren", which Chen Jiahui invested in Chen Cheng, had a box office budget of just over 30 million. This may be because this is his first work after transforming from a TV series director to a film director, so both the audience and insiders have high expectations for this movie.

Generally not high.

But this was also within Chen Jiahui's expectation.

Only if this movie is successful, and Chen Cheng will make another movie, he will have a fan base, and then the pre-sales will be higher.

The pre-sales of Director Chen's film are 60 million. As a work that is not purely in the sense of the word, it is already very good to have such pre-sales results.

Chen Jiahui was slightly stunned when he saw the pre-sale box office of Director Feng's "The Golden Lotus".

It's actually only a little over 10 million.

This is completely inconsistent with Director Feng's usual level! You must know that although his movie is not a commercial film, the investment is not small. If you want to make back the money, the box office will be at least more than 300 million.

But now the pre-sale box office is only this small. As long as the reputation is not established, the movie will be scrapped. Chen Jiahui feels a little strange.

"Don't watch it. Director Feng's film was screened, and fans didn't give it a high rating. Many people said they didn't understand it."

After breakfast, Director Zhou, who was standing behind Chen Jiahui and watching the pre-sale with him, couldn't help but explain.

"oh"

Chen Jiahui suddenly realized this.

Screening is a double-edged sword. A high-quality work will get a good reputation after being screened, and will eventually show up at the box office. But once the screening effect is not good, it will be completely ruined.

There is no chance of rescue.
