Let me think about it

Chapter 46 45.44.43.42.41

Zheng Feng's film and television city plan has not been written yet, but the foundation has already been completed ahead of schedule.

It was not because of environmental protection, but before he left, Du Wei took him to visit an elementary school at the foot of the mountain.

"Although it is often used to collect scenery because of its beautiful scenery, it is not a popular tourist destination after all, and the living conditions are relatively backward. Most of the teachers who have been here are young volunteers, and few of them can wait for a long time. down."

"I grew up here." Du Wei took a deep breath of the soil, "I really hope to give something back here."

As a well-known female director, her wish was unexpectedly simple. Zheng Feng saw her slightly raised chin, showing a hint of firmness and stubbornness.

Surrounded by continuous green hills, covered with a layer of moist and hazy mist, and the sound of children reading books in the early morning, it is like a primitive touch.

Zheng Feng was moved for a moment: "I also want to help you."

So, under Li Yuan's contact, they quickly found the person in charge of the related matters, and decided to provide financial assistance for the school's education. After signing various documents, the foundation's plan quickly started .

It was Zheng Feng's first contact with this kind of thing, and he realized that if he wanted to be a legal representative, the approval process was so troublesome. He had already entered and exited the relevant local departments more than a dozen times in just one month, not to mention the series of subsequent incidents. The supporting materials are ready. Fortunately, Du Wei is helping, otherwise he will never be able to handle the application and draft.

Taking advantage of the period of the preliminary review, Zheng Feng began to consider the name of his foundation.

What should be called better?He knew that Lu Xiao and Shen Fu had a foundation called / Chunyu, what a name, it moistens things silently, but unfortunately it has already been occupied.

Or his name is / Chunlei?Chunlei is also quite silent, but somehow he seems to be copying others.

While Zheng Feng was thinking, he logged on to related websites. Various foundations emerged one after another, such as Ping An Project, Angel Fund, and Looking Up at the Starry Sky. Such popular names have already been registered in advance.

"What a headache..." He put down the pen in his hand, leaned back in his chair, and looked out the window.

Zheng Feng remembered that he once heard such a sentence, when you have poetry and a distant place in your heart, this is the beginning of a dream.

In fact, he never thought that one day he would do this kind of thing. Although when he was the emperor in Daqing, he would occasionally do some welfare or something to benefit the people, but who told him that he had only been on the throne for a year, and all the money he used was his father. and his father's father's treasury.

But this time it was different. Every bit of this foundation was established by him with the money he worked hard for filming.

Although it was only in the preparatory stage, Zheng Feng couldn't help fantasizing that maybe after many years he left this world, and this kind of love and devotion would continue to exist instead of him, what a wonderful thing that would be.

Thinking of this, the corner of Zheng Feng's mouth suddenly twitched, he already knew what this foundation should be called.

distance.

"Far away?" Du Wei laughed dumbfounded after hearing this: "It's really a name full of future and hope."

"I didn't call it that because of Li Yuan." Zheng Feng quickly explained.

However, it seems to be a very meaningful coincidence that in the two characters of Yuanfang, there are both Li Yuan's Yuan characters and Fang characters that are homophonic to his name.

"In that case..." Zheng Feng smiled at the computer screen as soon as he hit the keyboard.

"It's you."

The foundation's initial review will take about a month or two. During this period, Zheng Feng is busy attending activities in various places, and Du Wei is also supervising the post-production of "Red Alert".

This film is the first time they have worked together, and he has put so much effort into it, and both of them are eagerly looking forward to the results after it is actually produced.

Before leaving, Zheng Feng politely went to Master Chen's house to say goodbye and bowed deeply to him.

"Thank you for your care these days."

The old man seemed to be suffering from a bit of cold, bowed his waist and coughed twice, as if meeting Zheng Feng for the first time, his eyes looked up and down at Zheng Feng.

"It's changed... something has changed." Leaning on his cane, he looked at him with satisfaction, "I hope your movie won't disappoint me."

Zheng Feng said seriously: "I will continue to work hard."

The old man sighed, "You still didn't listen to me, take a good vacation after this time."

"I..." Zheng Feng was in a dilemma. He had thought about it, but the announcements had already been fully lined up. If he refused all the announcements, Xu Zichen would have to push him off the roof of the World Trade Center.

"That's all, that's all." The old man waved his hand, "You young people, you don't even understand what is the most important thing in your life."

"Close the door for me." He turned around, "When you're free in the future, just stop by and see me when you pass by."

"Of course, you have to remember to take good care of your body." Zheng Feng hurriedly said, carefully helping him back to the bedroom.

The end of the year is doomed to be always busy, summarizing, reporting, and other words such as flying and jumping. When everyone didn't notice, the first snowfall of this year came quietly.

It's not very big. The fluffy snowflakes on the road are covered with a thin layer, and they make a "creaking" sound when they step on them. The footprints left behind are quickly covered by small but uninterrupted snowfall, as light as white The cat's footsteps are average.

Zheng Feng, who was alone in another city, wrapped his coat and scarf tightly, with a mask and sunglasses on his face, and waved towards an empty taxi on the side of the road.

"It's snowing, where are you going?" The driver poked his head out of the car window.

"Hongqiao Airport." Zheng Feng carried the backpack on his shoulders, "Master?"

"Okay, come up." The other party beckoned, and Zheng Feng opened the car door and sat in.

The heater was fully turned on in the car, and outside the window were passers-by in a hurry. The sky was gray, as if it had been like this since the beginning of winter. The driver hummed a little song, thought for a while, and turned on the car. broadcast.

"In the early hours of this morning, a new batch of films were ushered in at the end of the year, including "xxxx", "xx", "xxxx" and "Red Alert"..."

Zheng Feng was shocked. Since he got busy, he has never paid attention to the trend of this movie. Why is the name so late?Is the amount of filming really so small?

"Yo, "Red Alert", it was a game that my neighbor's brother and I had to play when we were fighting for a computer when I was young."

"Uncle, then you are really not young..."

"Yeah." The other party sighed, "You'll be getting older in a blink of an eye." Then he turned around and said, "I think you're quite young, what's the matter, you're on vacation so early, are you going home for the New Year?"

"Of course not." Zheng Feng said, it's not even Christmas yet, he went out because Li Yuan called him suddenly, saying he was coming here, and Zheng Feng was going to pick him up at the airport.

After all, it's been a long time since I saw you again.

While waiting at the airport, Zheng Feng called Xu Zichen and asked if he paid attention to the box office.

"Neng, Zheng Feng..." Xu Zichen on the other end of the phone seemed a little embarrassed, "I took a look, and you only have one film for today."

Zheng Feng's heart skipped a beat.

The film schedule determines the theater's positioning for the film, and the positioning determines the number of mainstream audiences, and the number in turn affects the orientation of the film schedule. Generally, new films of their level will account for 40.00% of the film schedule on the same day. Days will be adjusted according to popularity and word-of-mouth, and if it is so unpopular on the first day of release, it is really the same as not intending to give a way out from the beginning.

Sure enough, Xu Zichen sent him information that the box office of "Red Alert" was sluggish on the day of its premiere, and some theaters even planned to schedule two late-night shows tomorrow.

"But how could it be like this all of a sudden?"

Zheng Feng was puzzled, even if it wasn't considered a major production, it was a high-level film in the same period, and even added a part of the investment in the later stage.

His feeling is not wrong. In fact, "Red Alert" has a very good reputation, the plot is tense, and the meticulous plot is intertwined.

In order to increase publicity, several theaters invested by ks began to increase publicity and arrange films for "Red Alert", with a [-]% discount on movie tickets and free popcorn.

However, this is of no use. No matter how good the word of mouth is, it is useless if it cannot attract the audience to watch it. The movie "Red Alert" seems to be cursed suddenly. A small layer of waves died halfway before they could roll over, sinking into the sea.

Zheng Feng and Li Yuan went to a movie theater together. In the big theater, there were only a dozen scattered audiences. Not to mention how bleak it was, even a young couple in the last row just bought two tickets and sat in the theater. Air conditioner in the back.

The second time I tried it on the big screen, it turned out to be such a failure.

Zheng Feng didn't even know if they could earn back the cost before they were taken off the shelves according to the current progress.

"There are many factors that determine the success or failure of a movie, and the actors are only part of it." Li Yuan pointed to the feedback information, "The biggest mistake of "Red Alert" was not the promotion, but the wrong date for the release. Police action movie It was originally aimed at young people, and the end of the year is the time when their work is the most stressful. In addition, it is snowing all over the country. Even if they go to the movies during the holidays, they are generally willing to choose comedies that are suitable for all ages, instead of watching you guys. Bleeding out."

"I understand what you mean." Zheng Feng sighed heavily.

Since it was released, he didn't have the nerve to call Du Wei again, and Du Wei didn't call him either. The effect was so far from the expected result. Maybe she was also under tremendous psychological pressure.

It’s not the most uncomfortable thing, but the most uncomfortable thing is the exaggerated reaction of the media. They all said that this is "the most loss-making investment in the film industry this year", and there is a decent TV station. I invited an unknown expert to analyze it, saying that Zheng Feng was too eager for quick success as a newcomer, and it was time for him to wake up.

"Although you have been very prolific since your debut, it doesn't mean that you are inversely proportional to your quality." Xu Zichen comforted him in this way, but it made Zheng Feng even more depressed.

"Am I really partly responsible?"

"Then where do you think your responsibility lies?" Li Yuan looked at him, and his very gentle tone warmed Zheng Feng's heart.

Fortunately, he can be by his side during this depression, otherwise the rest of the days would be even more tormented.

He racked his brains for a long time, and finally he was discouraged: "I really can't think of it, I feel that I tried my best, and I don't think I made any mistakes in my previous performance, even a little bit worse than before. Progress is coming."

"Isn't that enough?" Li Yuan walked out of the theater together with him, and the equally tall figures of the two attracted many people's attention.

"Time, competition, luck, there are always too many uncontrollable factors in this world."

Some people muddle along throughout their lives, and some people are strict with others and themselves. In fact, being too relaxed or too nervous should not be the best state.

"You have to understand that you can't always succeed, so you just need to do what you should do, and leave the rest to God."

"What's more." Li Yuan's tone paused: "Did you want to take this drama from the beginning just to get a higher box office?"

Zheng Feng shook his head, "Of course not."

He took on "Red Alert" because the role was challenging, and the script made his blood boil, not to mention that he also spent a meaningful time during filming.

Facing this movie, he already has a clear conscience.

"Yo Xi!" Zheng Feng clasped his hands together, "Since this is the case, then I will concentrate on considering the foundation's affairs."
