"What? I haven't sent it over yet. What a fool. Sister-in-law, don't worry. Wait, I'll call you right away to ask. These bastards are getting more and more outrageous..."
The voice was distant at the end, as if someone was mumbling something and didn't hang up the phone immediately.
This time I didn’t have to wait too long. Fu Xin’s call came back ten minutes later: “Sister-in-law, I’m so sorry, the road is blocked due to heavy snow. These little guys from the previous batch of goods just want to eat, drink, smoke and drink. They’ve all been distributed, so don’t worry, wait until the weather gets warmer and it doesn’t snow every day. When the goods arrive, I’ll personally arrange for someone to deliver them to you.”
Having said that, what else can be said.
Even after the continuous heavy snow days, the place did not get the same quota as before. But at that time, not only she knew, but Zhu Feng also knew what was going on.
Privilege can be given to you, but you need to know what it means. When you no longer have it, look for your own reasons. What is it?
Zhu Feng was notified to choose a house. At a construction site where most of the work was done, all the work could be completed in three or two months in the spring. The developer asked them, the contractors and foremans, to go to the sales center to select the top house. Years ago, it was I don’t have enough money to give everyone a handout to have a good year, so I’ll give you the house first.
This kind of thing is normal. Zhu Feng looked at the worst housing in the community from location to apartment size. He picked a few at random and contacted people to sell them after returning. It didn't matter whether it was the end of the year or not. Everyone wanted to pay the advance payment. The money for the project will be earned as soon as possible and put in the pocket.
But a few days later, when he sold two units at low prices, he learned that the construction site had only provided 20 of the worst units and paid them to three people, including him.
Snapped!
"Mr. Sun, what do you mean? Do you think of me, Zhu Feng, as your brother?"
He threw the handbag on the desk of the developer CEO, with a little anger, and the force of landing on it was a little stronger. Zhu Feng stared, the anger in his heart was rising, and it might burst out at any time and at any time.
"What are you talking about? Lao Zhu, it is the rule to be the accountant. I have already planned it here. I am taking special care of you. You were short of money before the year. Otherwise, I would not have taken out the accountant. The house could be sold. Hurry, I’ll settle the cash for you all when the time comes.”
After the other party pushed Tai Chi for a while, Zhu Feng found that he was speechless and full of anger with no way to vent. He gradually realized something.
From Ma Xin's lack of face, to the loose business talks in the past few days, to the spread of some rumors, he began to realize that he helped Zuo Xiaojun bring Zhai Rui out in Tiantianju, and what happened next The consequences came out.
"No."
"I've been very busy working overtime recently. I'll make an appointment next time."
"Sorry, Brother Feng."
"Brother Feng, my leadership arrangement hasn't been completed yet, how about we do it next time?"
In the past, Zhu Feng would also give some gifts, arrange some banquets, find someone to eat and drink with to connect with each other, and give some gifts to express his feelings.
At the same time, he will also receive a lot of New Year's goods, and there are people around him who rely on him, who are afraid of him or who ask him for help. Under the New Year's Day, there is a constant stream of people coming to his side, regardless of the price, at least one by one. Gift boxes filling a small room are not a big problem.
There are also some people who worship each other, and the relationship is not bad. Either you ask me to do something, or I ask you to do something, and you need to take care of it. Giving some gifts during the Chinese New Year is a kind of etiquette.
The door was deserted, except for some gift boxes sent by his subordinate brothers. In recent years, the number of calls has been half that of previous years. In the past, at this time, the number of calls received by the mobile phone would not stop as long as it was daytime. The door was deserted and there were few people around. Zhu Feng felt it deeply, and he also knew what the problem was.
However, he was not convinced.
Why, have I done something outrageous? Have I done anything to offend everyone? Didn't do anything, but didn't express his support for Wei Tao clearly that day? As for that? How could you, Wei Tao, retaliate for such a small matter?
I, Zhu Feng, have I sold it to you Anshun Group? I want to sell to you, will you accept me? You didn't accept me, so you still blame me now?
Zhu Feng has a store that does not face the street, which serves as his office. He usually drinks tea and talks about things, gathers with friends, and discusses business with others.
The tea set on the tea table was smashed. At his age, he would get angry, but he would no longer act foolishly to do something that would make each other lose face. Even if he wanted to do it, he would do it with reason.
He exhaled hard to calm down his anger a little, and motioned to his brothers to come in and clean up. After a while, he took out his mobile phone and called Qiao Xinhua: "Old Qiao, come and sit down?"
"OK."
Qiao Xinhua behaved the same as before. He got off the car and walked straight in. When the people downstairs saw him, they quickly called Brother Hua, and he nodded in response.
The driver parked the car and followed him in. He took the cigarette from Zhu Feng's brother, sat on the sofa and chatted, waiting for the boss downstairs.
He took out a set of tea sets again. Zhu Feng's character made it somewhat difficult for him to play with Kung Fu tea. He was a toddler in Handan before. When he saw that the offices of big bosses had complete sets of tea sets, he would drink it when talking about things. Tea chat.
He was not in the same mood now. Looking at Qiao Xinhua, there were some words that he would not say, but he hoped that the other party would say them.
People who run around in the world really feel unsustainable. The loss of face is much more serious than the loss.
Qiao Xinhua's image is completely different from that of a Jianghu person. He came from a suburban county and worked steadily. Now he is even more different from Zhu Feng when he comes in and out. He is not an elder brother, nor does he know how to hug each other. He has a driver by his side. Just be a follower and do some errands to serve people.
Qiao Xinhua has not done this kind of thing for a long time, and has not left Songjiang. If something happens unexpectedly, he still has some face, enough for him to put it off until later or make a phone call to deal with it. .
It's not like him at first, but now his temperament and dress are even more elite. Those who don't know him and are discussing business with him for the first time will regard him as a pure businessman.
Zhu Feng and I have known each other for a long time and have cooperated many times, but the actual friendship is just that. We have different paths and do not work together, we are not the same people, and our personalities are not the same.
When I came here, I knew what Zhu Feng wanted to know, and I said it after I had thought of what to say. But when I arrived, I found that Zhu Feng was still holding his hand, and I secretly sighed in my heart. Good words can't persuade you. Damn it, you Zhu Feng clearly know where you went wrong. If you don't take it seriously now, then don't blame others for not helping. In such a society, people like you are no longer suitable for survival. It would be good if you can start a simple business to maintain your life.
After chatting for a while, at Qiao Xinhua's level, Zhu Feng didn't want to bring up the topic himself, and there was no need for him to take the initiative to mention it.
Looking at Qiao Xinhua's leaving figure, Zhu Feng's face was livid, his eyes were cold, and the scar on his forehead made his cheeks look a little more ferocious.
"Are you going to meet Mr. Wei?"
Facing the same words of advice from his wife and his lover outside, Zhu Feng raised his eyebrows, his eyes widened, and said fiercely: "No, what a fart."
Life is the same without everyone. Here at Zhu Feng, as long as Wei Tao does not take the initiative to trouble him, life will continue. Normally, he will not feel any changes. But when he started to do things, he found that the road he had been on was smooth in the past. there is none left.
With a group of brothers under his command, and with the image of a big boss already established, he has become tougher on many things, and he still has a lot of face, and no one dares to really provoke him, which also makes him feel a lot better.
As a result, something happened on the first day of the new year, when he truly realized that the people who took him seriously were the group he didn't need to care about, and the people who didn't take him seriously were the group he needed to care about in his life.
His wife's bar had no alcohol, and the supply of fruits and vegetables was not timely enough. When Zhu Feng got angry, he directly asked him to purchase it himself. The bar's similar costs and sales prices, and huge profit margins made him not care at all about the fact that the fruits were cheaper.
But wine is not good. If you don’t have it, you just don’t have it. During the Chinese New Year, more and more people are consuming some good wine. You don’t even have the most common Chivas Regal in stock, nor do you have the Corona that young people pretend to be different from others. Do you want your bar to sell big green sticks like the barbecue restaurants outside?
"You have to give it to me, and you have to give it to me even if you don't. Lao Jiang, don't mess up this matter for me."
"Dachengzi, I need some wine. I don't care what method you use, just get me some. It's not as much as possible, it's a must."
】
Facing his peers and his brothers below him, Zhu Feng lost his temper. No one dared to provoke him at this time. Everyone was following his instructions, but when the process didn't go smoothly and he didn't agree with each other, After taking action and reporting to the police, he was unable to control the situation.
They can be ruthless and have ruthless people under them, but when the bar owner who temporarily exchanged some drinks was a gangster from out of town, their method of threatening the family was no longer needed. The other party reported the bachelor directly to the official, and Six Doors intervened, directly killing him. Brother Zhu Feng who came to make trouble was taken away.
On the night of the first day of the Lunar New Year, Zhu Feng made several phone calls. As a result, after a few hours, there was no way. It wasn't that everyone didn't help, it was because the Six Doors didn't give him face. Those who were willing to help just hung around Zhu Feng. They are all players who usually shout Brother Feng, Brother Feng. How much energy can they have? Some of the big bosses of developers or government officials whom Zhu Feng had contacted before either expressed inquiries or simply did not answer the phone. Until Zhu Feng got angry, he just lost all face and said, "If you don't answer, I will continue." Call until the other party doesn't answer the phone and tell you that the less contact method has failed. Call until the other party answers the phone.
"Mr. Zhu, isn't that Zhang Tou'er's place? Just give Zhang Tou'er a call and it's just a matter of words. Why bother looking for something far away?" This is the relationship within the six doors.
"Mr. Zhu, I'm outside, what happened? What, such a thing happened? Just wait, I'll call and ask." This is the relationship at the Yamen door.
They were all very polite and maintained their enthusiasm for treating people. However, after hanging up the phone, there was no more movement. They used the second method, which was almost direct and just saved a little face for each other, to tell Zhu Feng again, Don't call me. I don't want to have anything to do with you.
Qin Hui also has three friends, and Zhu Feng is not a stingy person. He usually has a bad temper and always offends people, but there are still people he has helped. Now he is doing well in all aspects, and they have deep friendships. He knows that Zhu Feng He should have known it for a long time, but the other party pretended not to see it, so now he is making himself uncomfortable? You have to hit a wall, you have to see how powerful that person is.
"Brother Feng, Mr. Wei didn't say anything, and nothing was spread outside. It's just that we used to have a relationship with Mr. Wei, but now it's broken. They don't want to have any contact with us anymore. Do you really want to find out? If you want to handle this matter by yourself, then you should find an outsider, and you might be able to get it done by paying a friend to owe you a favor, but with Mr. Wei's relationship, no one will take the initiative to help."
Even if he didn't say anything, Zhu Feng knew that when Wei Tao was in his prime, those people must be on his side and took the initiative to cut off contact with him to express their feelings.
Just trying to get a few people, Zhu Feng has never taken it seriously in the past. Some people are willing to help, but the price required for such help is something Zhu Feng has never thought about in the past. For such a small thing, he still owes favors or something. How ridiculous.
It was really just a matter of relying on connections, finding friends, and spending some money on things. In the middle of the night after the first year of junior high school, a few brothers came out.
His friend also told him that this was the result of not taking the initiative to intervene and stop him. If someone deliberately stumbled, they would have to celebrate the New Year inside.
Passing by the Songjiang Theater, Zhu Feng saw the trailer playing on the big screen of the Songjiang Theater and signaled the car to stop. On the side of the road, he looked at the trailer of the movie called "囧" through the car window.
Of course he knew that this was Wei Tao's investment. He still remembered that when Songjiang became a negotiation place for cross-border cooperation, even people like him who didn't care about similar things at that time were still proud of themselves, walking with a certain pride. You see, this is my boss’ ability. If our country cooperates with Taiguo’s tourism industry, we have to come to Songjiang to discuss it. Who dares to say that we are a small city that is not popular. Those who are popular, where are you?
For a moment, some kind of thought called regret emerged, and then he was overwhelmed by hatred. Zhu Feng had no subjective intention, but at this moment, he felt hatred towards Wei Tao in his heart, feeling that it was the other party's fault. Now you are punishing me in this way, can you really cover up the sky with one hand?
He tossed and turned at home, couldn't sleep, drank too much, and didn't know when he fell asleep. When he woke up, it was already two o'clock in the afternoon, and at this time, the questions that popped up in his mind because of hatred last night were answered. I'm not afraid of you at that point. If you push me again, I'm going to fight you to the death, and I'm at a loss.
The hatred has not faded or disappeared, but has been suppressed in my heart and dare not come out. From factories and mines to urban areas, from a pure gangster to now running a construction company, some people call him Mr. Zhu, even if Zhu Feng is a gangster I haven't changed my habits, and I don't have any respect for you if I trade my life with you. At least I know what it means not to make a noise until you are in desperate situation.
"囧" was a hit.
In terms of publicity, Wei Tao is not short of money. The appearance of this film itself also had some more upright colors. With the investment of Wei Tao, a businessman with entertainment colors, "Running Brothers" ranked first Ji Da won the victory and became the most popular variety show of the year. The two programs in Taiguo were a stepping stone for the cooperation between the tourism industry between the two parties. They not only knocked on the door, but also the hot tourism market. One foot in the door and one foot outside.
The courtesy that Chinese tourists received in Taiguo made those who thought it was dangerous to travel to Southeast Asia have a lot less worries. After hearing the introductions from friends around them, they were also concerned, but they still had concerns. Some people who had no concerns felt that traveling in a group Traveling is no fun, and they want to travel freely, but the language barrier deters them.
At this time, during the Spring Festival period of family fun, a comedy was released. On such a day, it is definitely the most popular family fun or comedy movie. For a movie with heavy themes, no producer or distributor would be stupid enough to do the opposite. In short, it was not a random move, it was not an unexpected surprise, it was just stupid.
"囧囧" was released with a lot of publicity and many selling points. Huang Bogang won the best actor, Xu Sanduo also gained a wave of popularity in Running Man, and Wei Tao, an outsider, brought special selling points.
Comedy film for Spring Festival.
When the audience walked into the cinema and had a good time for a hundred minutes, they discovered that this is a comedy, and it can also be used as a road movie or even a travel guide.
It doesn't tell you how to travel to Taiguo, but it lets you know in advance what good places there are and how to visit, so you don't have to worry about anything.
Compared with the original version, this drama has two additional plots. The jokes are well designed and fit the plot. Wei Tao was very satisfied after watching it. One is the complaint center about Chinese people in Taiguo. There are them in major tourist attractions and cities. You don’t have to go to an embassy or call the police. Even if the Taiguo police come, you have to identify yourself. , or it can be handled in our complaint center. If it involves criminal matters, you can also require the presence of Huaxia staff from the complaint center. The protagonist encounters local troubles and goes directly to the complaint center. The funny part is a funny part, and it also implants a concept into the audience. We have a foothold over there. If we go there to play, we are superior tourists. , not tourists to be slaughtered.
There is also a fruit seller on the roadside in the scenic area. She is also learning Chinese. She can communicate with simple conversations and gestures.
Both plots take place on the way the three protagonists search, pursue and avoid, and they are also consistent with the settings of the things they encounter along the way. They only need to add additional jokes to be fully integrated into the plot.
In the movie, you can see that in many areas, especially airports, train stations, and bus stations, including three-wheelers, some scenic spots, and some large shopping malls, there will be corresponding Chinese signboards to guide Chinese tourists in the general direction. guidance.
Some people think this is beautification in the movie. I checked it out and found that it is all true. Many things about our tourism cooperation with Taiguo are well documented, including some tourists who have been there some time ago. It was later confirmed. The tour group is even more confident. It has stated all these in the contract signed with the tourists to reassure the tourists.
"You really don't have to worry. As long as you don't run around randomly, you don't need to worry about any problems happening near scenic spots and busy places. Don't you know that in the past six months, Bangkok and Pattaya have successively imposed heavy penalties and heavy penalties?" Two cases were fined: a tourist's mobile phone was robbed, and the thief was caught in one day, and he was sentenced to five years; a classic vendor, who ripped off Chinese tourists with sky-high-priced meals, was fined ten times the compensation and had to wait for three months. The closure of business for rectification..."
The news Zhu Feng got was that the two movie theaters in Songjiang had almost all scheduled movies for "囧" since the first day of the new year. Even so, the theaters were still full.
I saw on the Internet that the first-day box office of "囧囧" was 58 million, which directly sounded the clarion call for the Invincible Division during the Spring Festival.
Overnight, bald Xu Zheng became famous, and the combination of Huang Bo and Xu Sanduo suddenly became the comedy spokesperson of the post-Zhou Xingxing era.
There are a lot of discussions on the Internet, and it directly occupies the top positions of the hot searches, including the beauty in the elevator, which is the center of the hot search topics.
Wherever there is praise, there is also criticism. The group of people who said "囧囧" is too superficial and has no educational value are coming out again. Just like the original group of people who said that Zhou Xingxing's film is nonsensical and has no depth, it is just that it is constantly criticized by fans. After the scandal, these people began to change their opinions and began to explore the depth of all Zhou Xingxing's films.
Some are, and some are just funny, but in the context of wanting praise, they interpret a lot of things that Zhou Xingxing himself may not have thought about.
Wei Tao doesn't care so much, and he doesn't care. The box office exceeded 100 million in two days, which directly made directors all over China stupid. Is the market for comedy films so good now?
With a box office of 500 million, he spent money to hold a celebration banquet for the crew in Yanjing. It didn't matter if he paid for it, or it didn't matter if everyone was happy. He really didn't want to go to Yanjing.
But after the box office exceeded 1 billion, he couldn't even go if he didn't want to.
Not only Yanjing, Taiguo also sent an invitation to Wei Tao through official channels. They wanted to hire Huang Bo and the others as tourism ambassadors, and also officially awarded Wei Tao the title of Honorary Bangkok Citizen. Yanjing officials knew very well. Around the year before and after, the number of people traveling to Taiguo increased by more than one cup, and the tour groups on every flight were full. Now he is only an honorary citizen. They gave Wei Tao an early warning. If he was just a director or actor of a crew, he would be an honorary citizen. Or an official interview and presentation through the media would be the top.
[You Wei Tao are different. You are a businessman, a businessman who cooperates with them, and you are also a bridge between the two sides. They will pay more attention to you, grant you a title there, and give you some conveniences for doing business there. . 】
Chinese movies cannot make more than 1 billion at the box office.
Now that it has passed, and Wei Tao has not agreed to extend the screening time to continue to accumulate box office, it has been so successful, so don't look too ugly to others. He just sent a message through the entertainment media, in "Thailand" "After breaking 1 billion, amid overwhelming publicity, the person in charge of the distribution company was interviewed and stated that "囧囧" will not extend its release.
[If you haven’t watched it yet, why are you hesitating? Come on now. 】
When you are successful, you surround yourself with good people.
The celebration banquet for "囧囧" with a box office of over 1 billion was held grandly at Yanjing XX Hotel. Nearly a hundred media, including celebrities and industry insiders, were present. Wei Tao didn't know if they were other people's friends or something. , anyway, I am familiar with him because I have been in contact with him, so they were all present.
In Songjiang, including Zhu Feng, who was very responsible for Wei Tao's feelings, when they saw the report of this celebration banquet in the entertainment news, they were wondering: "How much money did he make from this movie?"
