Trivia: If Feng Xiaogang opened the Lunar New Year stall, then the National Day stall was opened by Jackie Chan.
In the past, theaters and audiences had little interest in watching movies during National Day.
This year during National Day, Jackie Chan will bring his "New Police Story", next year it will be "Myth", and the year after that it will be "Baby Project".
And all three films won the first place in the schedule. Since then, the National Day schedule has officially become an important window in the domestic film industry.
In September this year, apart from "New Police Story" which will be released next Friday, the one that attracts the most attention is "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban".
"Harry Potter" has a huge number of fans all over the world. The first two films took away more than 100 million yuan at the domestic box office, and the performance cannot be said to be bad.
But this year's third installment was a flop. Judging from its first week performance, "Prisoner of Azkaban" was the worst in the series.
The reasons are, firstly, that the protagonists have begun to enter puberty, and all three of them are visibly shedding their childishness from the first two films. Harry is no longer handsome, and Hermione is no longer cute. Domestic audiences cannot accept the change in the image of the protagonists for the time being. ; The second reason is that the taste of "Harry Potter" under the lens of Alfonso Cuarón is wrong. The original novel of "Harry Potter" is positioned as a children's book, and the first two movies are also positioned in this way, but Xu is According to Alfonso Cuaron's own understanding, or at Warner's request, "Prisoner of Azkaban" began to transform and began to show the dark side of the wizarding world, while the themes became more serious and complex.
The third film not only performed poorly domestically, but also did not perform as well as the first two films in the global market.
However, "Harry Potter" is still on the plate, and it is not a big problem to spend 7.8 billion US dollars worldwide.
Zhang Yuanjun was considered a half-fan, so he found a night to buy a ticket and watch the movie.
He also thought Hermione was cuter when she was younger.
It's still hot in Beijing in September, and the action training for the crew of "The Condor" is extremely hard.
The food arranged by the training team tastes average. Liu Yifei sometimes stops eating when she is tired from training and loses her appetite. But Zhang Yuanjun can't do that. He has a mission.
Zhang Jizhong felt that he was too thin to hold up the costume, so he started to talk about giving him fake muscles, but Zhang Yuanjun refused: "If this news gets out, I won't be able to work anymore! Isn't it just bulk? I'm sure I can train it for you."
Therefore, Zhang Yuanjun had to eat even if his appetite was bad. Not only did he eat his portion, but sometimes he also had to eat Liu Yifei's portion that he didn't want to eat.
Fortunately, as a 19-year-old boy, he is just old enough to eat, and he consumes it intensively every day. Zhang Yuanjun has no problem eating two or three meals per person.
Liu Xiaoli would come to visit the training team every two or three days. Every time she came, she would bring delicious food to Liu Yifei, and Zhang Yuanjun also took advantage of it.
At first, Zhang Yuanjun was quite embarrassed. What was going on when someone came to see his daughter and he followed behind to eat.
But for the next few visits to the class, Liu Xiaoli would bring an extra portion and specially ask Zhang Yuanjun to come over to eat.
Liu Xiaoli said that she likes to watch Zhang Yuanjun eat: "Sissi is not good at eating. She can't eat even one more bite if asked. Children of seventeen or eighteen years old eat four or five times a day. You still eat well and make people like you when you look at it."
Zhang Yuanjun said while eating: "Girls have small appetites, so how can they compete with boys in terms of appetite. My sister couldn't eat when she was Yifei's age. She only had one bowl of rice per meal and couldn't eat more than one bite."
"Do you still have a sister?" Liu Xiaoli asked with a smile.
"Well, there are three sisters in the family, I am the youngest, one brother and one sister." Needless to say, Liu's mother is a good cook, and the food suits Zhang Yuanjun's appetite.
Liu Yifei stuttered and helped: "She's still a twin sister."
Liu Xiaoli smiled: "Twins, that's such a blessing."
At that time, the Zhang family knew they were pregnant with twins, so they were extremely happy.
But because there was something written that would be automatically deleted by the system, Zhang’s mother did not hide away.
The commotion in the village back home was extremely ugly, with more than a dozen members of the Zhang family getting into fights. The four old men all threatened that anyone who dared to touch the twins in their belly would be beaten to death at the door. This was how they were saved.
They are all from the same village. According to seniority, Zhang Yuanjun had to call the old secretary at that time uncle, but for so many years, Zhang's father and Zhang's mother never entered the old secretary's house every time they came home.
Maybe it was just a casual chat. Liu Xiaoli asked a lot about Zhang Yuanjun's family situation, and Zhang Yuanjun didn't hide anything.
"My family owns a restaurant."
"My parents only have a few days off during the Chinese New Year, and they are usually very busy."
"My brother is studying for a PhD in the United States, and my sister is studying design in France."
"Why don't you go abroad with me?" Liu Xiaoli asked.
"My mother couldn't bear to part with her. She said that one of the three should be kept by her side."
"Yes, parents all want to keep their children by their side." After Liu Xiaoli finished speaking, she glanced at her daughter.
Liu Yifei praised her: "His sister is so beautiful! She said that after graduation she will go to Italy for further study and then return to China to work as a designer."
"Have you met his sister?" Liu Xiaoli glanced at her daughter meaningfully.
"I've seen it before. Last time I went out to eat with Xiao Shu, we met by chance." Liu Yifei didn't read any other meaning from her mother's eyes.
After the three of them had eaten, Liu Xiaoli packed up the dishes and was about to leave. Before leaving, the two people who looked at each other and sat opposite each other smiled bitterly, shook their heads, and went home.
After dinner, Zhang Yuanjun leaned on the table and took a nap, while Liu Yifei was reading.
Zhang Yuanjun discovered that Liu Yifei really liked reading. Every time she took a break, she could be seen holding a book and reading.
"What are you looking at?" Zhang Yuanjun buried his head in his arms and looked at the girl opposite with one eye.
"Here." Liu Yifei lifted up the book, which was the original novel "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".
In order to better understand the characters, Liu Yifei has read the novel twice.
If Liu Yifei had read other books, Zhang Yuanjun might still be interested, but he had already read "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and was not very interested.
"What did you write there?" Zhang Yuanjun saw a red mark on the title page of Liu Yifei's book.
"Oh, it's the seal you gave me." Liu Yifei turned to the title page.
It is stamped with Liu Yifei's three-character red seal, carved in seal script.
Zhang Yuanjun became even less interested when he saw this, and was about to bury himself in sleep when Liu Yifei asked: "How come you still carve a seal?"
"Those who are good at calligraphy usually engrave seals. It's just a matter of good or bad craftsmanship."
"How about your skills?" Liu Yifei really didn't understand this.
"It's just average." Zhang Yuanjun said, "It's not great, but it's still legible and usable. The seals I write are all carved by myself."
The two of them talked in the cool afternoon breeze. Within a few words, Zhang Yuanjun fell asleep on the table, and Liu Yifei didn't bother him.
When he woke up, the two of them plunged into intense and orderly training and dispersed at night.
